Chapter 2531 Hollywood
Chapter 2327 Hollywood
The reason why the media is so powerful is not because of how powerful the media itself is, but because they can guide public opinion and even manipulate public opinion at critical moments.
You should know that this time Ye Feng not only acquired the entertainment company, but also invested in their entire newspaper group and dozens of news channels.
Ye Feng is sometimes more ruthless than his father, especially when dealing with old people like Murdoch. He will never do things like his children's company acquires Internet companies and only wants shares without participating in management.
What is public opinion? It is a mouthpiece that can play a leading role at critical moments. As the second largest shareholder, Ye Feng naturally has to play a decisive role in it.
In fact, the long-term negotiations were deadlocked in this aspect. The Murdoch family has been operating for so many years, and naturally has made this place a piece of iron, but Ye Feng is also unambiguous.
Although some shareholders did not transfer their shares to him in the end, the relationship between them is still good, and these people have long been dissatisfied with Murdoch's dictatorship. So under the struggle, Ye Feng also has a lot of rights.
However, Ye Feng is still very dissatisfied with this. He is very different from Ye Yuze in this regard.
When Ye Yuze worked with others before, he liked to give half of the shares to each person, which was a typical partnership model. But when it came to Ye Feng, that was absolutely not possible.
This was also caused by the times. A company must first determine a leader, and then the company's operations must be operated according to the wishes of this leader.
Ye Feng has been like this since he started doing business. Even if his partner is Yang Wei, who is like a brother, he must have the most shares.
Otherwise, the company will easily become chaotic. Everyone has his own ideas and opinions. They are all shareholders. Who can convince whom?
You must know that human nature is generally selfish and greedy. In the face of interests, who dares to guarantee anything? There is a saying that goes, don't use money to test human nature, because human nature cannot withstand the test.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as my grandfather's generation, who can selflessly dedicate themselves to their ideals and beliefs.
For a goal, they saved their allowances, rations, and even clothes to have the present day in Northern Xinjiang. But that can only be their generation.
Father Ye Yuze and his generation obviously can't do it. There must be feelings, but they won't be so selfless.
But Ye Yuze was able to use his personal charm to gather his people together. With the word trust, he could do anything.
Ye Feng asked himself that he could not compare with them. He could only constrain others, but to constrain others, he must have more power than others.
Therefore, as long as he was a shareholder of the company, he must be the leader, no matter who the partner was!
As public opinion fermented, Camellia Love attracted more and more attention. From puzzlement to touching, Western media started a discussion about a Chinese movie for the first time.
For love, Europe and the United States are generally more direct. Love is expressed, and no one will interfere. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Romeo and Juliet.
And the implicit and sad plot in Camellia Love touched the hearts of many people at once.
Although this love is very heartbreaking and even angry, so what? The two young people still interpreted the most beautiful things in the world with their lives.
As the voice of discussion became louder and louder, the Oscar judges had to pay attention to it. After all, this movie is no longer just from that ancient country, but the owner of this movie, which has now completely taken over Fox Entertainment, no, Brothers Entertainment Company.
Which judge dares not to take such a background seriously?
For a period of time, those so-called public intellectuals desperately advocated the so-called democracy and justice in the West. In fact, as long as it is a human society, where is the real fairness?
It’s just that before you touch the interests of the powerful, they are interested in watching you shout a few words. The animal world still emphasizes the law of the jungle, let alone the king of the animal world.
Of course, this cannot ignore the role of Yuanfang. She has met those directors and celebrities many times with a humble attitude and a look of asking for advice.
But under Hexi’s attitude, the alienation in the eyes can be seen by anyone who is not stupid.
As a group of them in the film and television industry, no one is stupid enough to offend such a person. They don’t know whether the company will pay compensation, but it is definitely true that his power can easily get them out of the film and television industry.
There are a total of eight major film and television companies in Hollywood, and Brothers Film and Television is now among them. Famous directors and famous actors are certainly the key to box office, but why don’t you try to wrestle with capital?
Yuanfang's modesty gave these big names a chance to return the favor, so Yuanfang became very successful in Hollywood in a short period of time.
Of course, there are eight major film and television companies here, some of which are even stronger than Brother Company.
For example, Warner, Columbia and Disney. But so what? Brother Company is not just a film and television entertainment company!
They also have banks, insurance companies, mobile phones and Internet companies. Facebook, which is becoming more and more famous, is their industry. Who would be uncomfortable looking for this?
In order to make friends, Disney Company specifically looked for Brother Company to buy the agency rights of Zhu Bajie. After all, they have unique advantages in this regard. Cartoons, there are many children, and they have their own TV channels and cinemas.
Although the film was named after Brother Company, Yuanfang did not intervene. If it were not for Ye Mao's guidance and editing, Yuanfang would have ignored it long ago.
I didn't expect that the oriental version of the mythology would immediately touch the hearts of Western children. This greedy, lustful, and silly pig brother image immediately captured the hearts of Western teenagers. The film was instantly a hit.
Unlike the overwhelming publicity of Camellia, Zhu Bajie didn't spend any effort on publicity. If there was any, it really had nothing to do with Yuanfang and Brothers Company. It was all operated by Disney itself.
Originally, Disney wanted to make friends with Yuanfang, but it didn't expect that this unconscious move would open a way for itself to make money.
The box office has been rising all the way. If Disney hadn't purchased the agency rights, other companies would have snapped up the rights at a sky-high price.
Iger is the executive president of Disney and has full authority to handle the entire company's business. He is a stubborn, strict, and almost stubborn person.
It may be precisely because of his character that Disney's business is booming in the context of the general downturn in the entertainment industry.
Originally, Iger and Ye Feng were competitors in the acquisition of Fox Entertainment. However, facing the cunning Murdoch, Iger admitted defeat.
Originally, Disney was the first to intervene in this acquisition, but later withdrew because of Murdoch's helplessness.
Because he had not confronted Ye Feng, Iger had no contact with Ye Feng. When he learned that the person who finally acquired Fox Entertainment was a young man, he was shocked.
Later, after finding all the information about Ye Feng, Iger was finally impressed. A young man in his twenties was in charge of such a large company, and it was still expanding wildly. It was really hard to predict how far the company would develop during the holidays.
Calculating the age, I am older than his father. How could Iger be enemies with such a person?
After just a little hesitation, Disney became the first peer to spare no effort to support its brother company.
Yuanfang is also a person who knows how to advance and retreat. The high profile at the beginning was just to show her presence. The so-called low-key work and high-profile life are traditional.
Now that the desired effect has been achieved, she will also be low-key. After all, those famous directors and superstars have changed from looking down to looking up, which is enough.
Laura is Iger's granddaughter. She has been determined to become the most famous female director of Disney since she was a child.
In fact, there has always been a strange phenomenon in Disney, that is, there are no female directors.
This may not be accurate. It should be said that since its establishment, Disney has not had a female director who can make a sensational film.
This matter makes all Hollywood women very dissatisfied but helpless. Although gender discrimination is everywhere, you can't blame men for not giving you a chance if you can't make a film, right?
Laura is currently studying at the New York University Film School, studying in the directing department. She studies very hard and has completed other subjects, only the graduation work is missing.
American universities are different from China. They can freely choose the graduation time. You just need to complete the course and take the exam.
It will not be as step-by-step as in China. Everything needs teachers to supervise and guide.
Laura's grades in all subjects are excellent, but for a college student who is about to enter the society, except for the work, the quality of grades is irrelevant.
Laura is very anxious, because looking at the development history of Disney, it seems that everything that can be filmed in the Western world has been developed.
Although there are many countries in Europe and America, each with its own traditions and customs, the myths are similar due to religious reasons.
Laura is eager to find a breakthrough to break this shackle, and the recently released Zhu Bajie can't help but make her eyes light up.
The four ancient civilizations in the world are China, India, Babylon and Greece.
Today, only the oldest oriental country can be preserved intact, so Laura decided to go there to have a look and find some inspiration.
It takes more than ten hours to fly from New York to Beijing. Western girls are relatively independent, and the air ticket money is earned by her own part-time job.
Although her family is not short of money, and her grandfather Iger is very doting on her, she does not feel that she is qualified to ask her family for money to do her own things.
Curled up in the small economy class, Laura has not fallen asleep. She is tall like her grandfather, about 1.8 meters tall, and her long legs are particularly conspicuous.
It's just that sitting in the economy class with such a figure is obviously a bit aggrieved, because I can't sleep all the time, so it's particularly uncomfortable.
Laura kept going to the bathroom, but in fact, she didn't really want to pee, but just took the opportunity to move her legs and feet, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable.
After more than ten hours of suffering, Laura finally saw this magical country.
She was shocked before the plane landed. The winding Great Wall that could not see the end, the exquisite carvings and shapes in the red walls and green tiles, these were undoubtedly another kind of fantasy for her.
Before getting off the plane, there will be a brief introduction on the radio. When she knew that all this happened before the year before last, Laura could no longer describe her feelings.
The airport is very large, and there are English signs anyway, otherwise Laura doubted that she could not get out of the airport.
It was only after leaving the airport that Laura began to regret that she did not make any strategy before coming, so she didn't know where to go and what she wanted to see.
The taxi driver was very enthusiastic. It was a rare good thing for them to pick up foreign guests.
After all, the US dollar has always been a hard currency. Although there is no black market now, it is still possible to get some benefits in private transactions.
The driver was a young man. Seeing Loli's height, his eloquent mouth suddenly became clumsy. There was nothing he could do. A man facing a tall woman who crushed him would feel inferior.
Laura was not afraid of the stage and took the initiative to ask: "This is my first time in China. Do you have any good suggestions?"
The driver was indifferent. He pretended. In fact, he wanted to talk, but he couldn't understand. He had learned some simple daily expressions, but in this way of talking, even if all those words were known, when they were combined, people would not recognize him.
Seeing the driver shaking his head, Laura shrugged regretfully and was a little worried. She could only leave it to fate.
However, drivers who often take jobs have experience and know that foreigners will find accommodation after getting off the plane, so they took her directly to the Jingcheng Hotel.
This is a hotel for external services, with one-stop service for food, drink and accommodation, and professional foreign service personnel.
When they arrived at the hotel, the bartender communicated with Laura in fluent English. Then Laura was worried.
She could use a credit card to pay for the round-trip ticket, but she had to pay for food and accommodation. She only had 3,000 US dollars in her hand, and according to the consumption of Beijing hotels, she could not survive for a few days.
Seeing her embarrassment, the waiter smiled. She had more contact with foreign guests and understood these young people in Europe and the United States. They were casual and often ran out with only the travel expenses, and would find a way when they had no food.
So, the waiter enthusiastically told Laura how to save money in Beijing. There was no way to make do with accommodation, after all, only foreign-related hotels were available.
But there were ways to save money on eating, drinking and playing, and save a lot of money.
Laura was very happy. After thanking her profusely, she happily went into the room to wash up. Then she couldn't wait to change her clothes and go out.
New York is a big city, and Beijing is also a big city. But compared with the two cities, Beijing undoubtedly has a more fireworks atmosphere.
At that time, the urban management had not yet taken up their posts, and the vendors in the streets and alleys were hawking one after another. All kinds of smells filled the streets and alleys.
Laura greedily breathed in these aromas, all of which she had never smelled before, but she liked them.
Chang'an Avenue is the most famous street in China. Going west along Chang'an Avenue, you will reach Tiananmen Square.
It was her first time here, so she naturally wanted to see this most famous building in China.
Good job, brothers, a new chapter is coming
