Sean finally figured it out.

Harvey was unsure, but he didn't dare to fool Sean. The pendulum might fall on him at any time.

"The eight major Hollywood companies that everyone talks about are 'Warner Bros.', 'MGM', 'Paramount', 'Columbia', 'Universal', 'United Artists', '20th Century Fox', and 'Disney'. However, four years ago, United Artists was replaced by

GM acquired it. In fact, Hollywood is now the Seventh. However, the past few years have been difficult for Paramount, and the Seventh may become the Sixth at any time."

"Huh?" Sean frowned. If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be only six people alive later, 'Warner Brothers', 'Columbia', 'Universal', 'Paramount', '20th Century Fox', 'Disney', Pie

Ramon is alive and well, but the seemingly glorious MGM is gone.

"What's going on at Paramount?" Sean asked directly.

Originally, Sean was concerned about MGM, which later went bankrupt, to see if he could get it. However, Harvey suddenly brought such news, which made Sean immediately interested.

Eighth University changed owners several times, and Sean was interested in getting involved.

"Uh... This guy, Barry Diller, talked about it." Harvey was stunned for a moment, and then began to tell the story. As an upper-class figure in Hollywood, this guy is very well-informed.

"In the 1960s, Paramount was in decline. In 1966, Paramount was acquired by Gulf Western Industries. After that, Robert Evans, a newcomer, came to power and launched "Love Story", "Chinatown" and "The Godfather" etc.

After a few movies, Paramount saved the situation."

"Then we have to talk about Barry Diller. At the age of 25, he entered ABC to do television. 12 years ago, Barry Diller entered Paramount. 10 years ago, this guy succeeded Robert Evans and became the captain of Paramount.

, Barry Diller and his two assistants, Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, these three brought Paramount back to the top of Hollywood."

"Wait a minute." Sean raised his hand to interrupt Harvey, "You said Michael Eisner, Jeffrey Katzenberg, they are all from this Barry, and they are at Paramount?"

"Uh... sir, what's the problem?" Harvey didn't know why, and Xiao Bu also looked at Sean curiously.

"Haha, no problem, keep talking!" Sean waved his hands mysteriously.

Damn it, this is a big problem, okay?

Of the people Harvey mentioned, two of them, Sean, were so impressive.

Michael Eisner, the Disney Emperor, is synonymous with "professional" among professional managers, and is a model of killing his boss.

This guy drove the Disney family out of Walt Disney. However, Disney did become a super group that attracted global attention under the leadership of this guy. When he took over, Disney’s market value was only 2 billion US dollars, but this guy pushed it to 40 billion US dollars.

peak.

Of course, during this period, Michael Eisner also successfully climbed onto the rich list and became a super rich man.

The existence of Michael Eisner fully proves what a career is!

What the hell is a career!

What the hell is a career?

Another one, Jeffrey Katzenberg, is also a familiar figure and one of the founders of DreamWorks.

Together with Spielberg, he founded DreamWorks. At its peak, it was possible to become a new Hollywood giant.

Of course, it failed in the end, and the reasons were complicated. Some of the collaborators could only share adversity but not wealth, and it also had to do with their inability to control their own distribution channels.

On the other hand, Sean had never heard of Barry Diller, but it goes without saying that someone who can be the emperor of Disney and the founder of DreamWorks has such abilities.

After being interrupted, Harvey continued talking about Paramount.

"During the years when Barry was president, Paramount reached its peak among the seven largest companies in Hollywood. However, the bad things happened to Barry."

"This guy has a background in television. After becoming famous, he has always wanted to realize his television dream and create a brand new television network and television empire."

"Last year, Murdoch acquired half of the shares of 20th Century Fox. Later, Murdoch persuaded Barry, and Barry used Murdoch's money to build his fourth television network."

Sean and Xiao Boo looked at each other. Murdoch is such a ruthless old guy. He killed two birds with one stone.

It not only interrupted Paramount's upward momentum, but also got itself a general!

"As soon as Barry left, Paramount immediately fell into turmoil. As far as I know, Michael Eisner took over Paramount's mess, but this guy is hooking up with Disney. By the way, Disney has been in trouble recently.

It’s very sad that Disney suffered a hostile takeover last year, and Disney’s film division, Buena Vista Pictures, ranked last among the seven major companies, suffering severe losses year after year.”

"So, Disney took a fancy to Michael Eisner's achievements at Paramount and intended to let Michael Eisner take over as the company's top executive to revive the film industry. After all, Disney's core industry is movies."

"They are both from the top eight. Paramount is better than Disney. Will Michael Eisner go to Disney?" Xiao Bu interrupted and asked.

Sean knew that not only would this guy go, but he would also get out of control, so he probably had to pay for the conditions.

"After all, Paramount's parent company is Gulf Western, which is a petrochemical company. With such a father at his head, it is difficult for Michael to grasp the power and display his ambitions. For people who have achieved this, ideals and ambitions are more important.

." Sean said his guess.

Harvey flattered Sean in agreement, and then continued: "Michael Eisner will most likely leave. He was re-elected as president and resigned in a short period of time. Paramount will be unable to recover in a few years.

What happens in the end depends on whether the West in the Gulf can stabilize the situation."

"Where's Katzenberg?" Sean suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Harvey was stunned. He really hadn't paid attention to this.

"I don't know, just ask around if you don't know!" Sean said angrily.

"You!?" Harvey asked uncertainly: "Sir, you want to poach Katzenberg."

"Do you think Norris is very capable?" Sean asked.

Harvey grinned and made no comment.

"By the way, tell me what Murdoch is doing recently." Sean suddenly changed the subject.

This guy is a media tycoon. Murdoch's News Corporation is not very famous now. Its biggest achievement is the acquisition of half of the shares of Twentieth Century Fox. But in the future, everyone knows about it.

As for the media industry, Sean will definitely get involved, especially in this part of the United States. The great man once said that the position of public opinion...ahem.

Therefore, Sean must pay attention to it.

"Murdoch is building a TV network recently." Harvey said directly: "He poached Barry and is already starting to build his own TV network. He is currently negotiating and is preparing to acquire New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Dallas.

With six local TV stations in Washington, this matter has caused quite a stir, and many people know about it."

"Well!" Sean suddenly stood up from the sofa and stared at Harvey, "What did you say!"

The murderous aura accumulated by killing hundreds of people with his own hands spread out uncontrollably. Harvey was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost urinated.

Xiao Bu was also startled, and his face turned a little pale. He had been in contact with Sean for so long, and although he knew that Sean was ruthless, this was the first time he felt the murderous intent in Sean.

So rich!

This is because Sean didn't target them.

"Say it quickly!" Seeing Harvey in a daze, Sean's eyebrows stood up on the spot.

"You, you scared him." Xiaobu took a deep breath and patted Sean gently. After all, it was because of his different status that he was much stronger than Harvey.

"Huh..." Sean breathed out, his expression softened, and he sat on the sofa again.

Harvey's expression calmed down. He thought he was going to die just now, but now he started breathing heavily.

"Look at how cowardly you are, you loser, stop fucking breathing." Sean raised his head and kicked Harvey out of anger.

Harvey forced a smile, picked up the red wine in front of him and drank it in one gulp. Only then did he realize that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

"You, you may not have noticed, but everyone in the industry knows that Murdoch has always wanted to expand his media industry in the United States. After all, this is the world's largest country and the center of the world. If he wants to become a global media giant, he must

Gain a firm foothold in the American media industry." Harvey said after organizing his words.

"Humph, that's a pretty idea!" Sean's face didn't look very good, he was just here to grab food.

"For more than ten years, Murdoch has been acquiring the newspaper media industry, including the New York Post, National Star, New York Magazine, Village Voice, and New West. Three years ago, he bought

"The Herald American" and renamed it "The Boston Herald", and two years ago he acquired the Chicago "Sun-Times". Over the years, he has not stopped acquiring newspapers and magazines."

"The year before last, he acquired a European satellite television company, and last year he acquired half of the shares of 20th Century Fox."

"Since 1985, he has been negotiating with Metropolis Media, the fourth largest television group in the United States. He wants to acquire the local TV stations just mentioned. The person in charge of this business is Barry."

"What a beautiful idea!" Sean snorted, causing Xiao Bu to look at him sideways.

"I'll give you two tasks." Sean grabbed the red wine in front of him and drank it all, and said with a serious face: "First, use your contacts to keep an eye on Murdoch for me. I want to know the specific progress of their acquisition.

If you need anything, please call me and I will have someone coordinate with you."

"Secondly, regarding the distribution issues of "Basic Instinct" and the subsequent "Die Hard", some concessions can be made appropriately. I mean for those theater chains, I would rather give them profits than cooperate with the Seven. Paramount

Disney is in trouble and won’t have the energy to take care of my business. I will deal with Fox myself. The rest are Universal, Warner, MGM, and Columbia.”

Sean picked up a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp, with a stern look on his face, "If you really want to make yourself uncomfortable, I'll show him if I'm afraid of them!"

As he spoke, Sean looked Harvey up and down, and suddenly said: "Fat man, have you ever thought about selling your film company to me?"

"Ah!!" Harvey was frightened and ejected from the seat. Looking at Sean's half-smiling face, he waved his hands with determination, "No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible, even if you kill me.

possible!"

"Ha, what the hell..." Sean sneered when he saw him like this, raised his hand and pressed it down, "Sit down, sit down, you look like I'm trying to rob you of how much money you have."

"This is not about money." Harvey did not dare to relax at all and quickly defended, "This is my career, my everything, my ideals and sustenance."

"Okay, okay, what a fucking ideal." Sean snorted disdainfully, "In the end, it's all about money. If you don't have money, where do you get such bullshit ideals?"

"Although I don't want to say this, I think it's positive at all, but poor people don't deserve their fucking ideals!"
