Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 685 Good News

For Tang En, 10% of Hasbro's shares is rather tasteless.

That $320 million in cash will play a bigger role.

The strategic development route of the New Global Group has been basically determined, which made Tang En unable to invest in some projects he was optimistic about through the New Global Group.

Like Tesla.

This is not in line with the positioning of the new global.

In this case, Tang En will invest in his own name.

Back in the United States, Tang En didn't even talk about the extra benefits, and directly signed the agreement, completing the entire sale of MGA Entertainment.

The cash flow owned by Tang En Capital also exceeded 600 million US dollars again.

You can do some interesting things according to your personal preferences.

For example, follow the example of many rich Americans, buy a team, sponsor a team, or engage in some saintly charity.

Tang En hasn't made up his mind yet, and is waiting to see what happens.

In the movie market, "The Legend of the Bear" and "Ant-Man" are released in succession.

One is an animation, and the other is a sci-fi action movie, the competition is not strong.

However, on the last weekend of October, the most watched film and television push news in the United States is not Disney's cartoon "Bear Legend" and Marvel Studios' sequel "Ant-Man" at all.

It's an American drama!

"Bear Legend" is a traditional hand-drawn 2D animation, which has long been out of the mainstream.

"Ant-Man"...is too famous, even with the release of several movies such as "Spider-Man", "Daredevil", "X-Men", Marvel movies have already entered the public's field of vision.

But "Ant-Man" is a superhero whose name is not obvious. New Universal's box office forecast for the market is US$200 million in North America and US$400 million worldwide.

Basically on the order of Daredevil.

In contrast, that TV series is too popular - "The Walking Dead" with a huge investment of 100 million US dollars!

After "Band of Brothers", this is the second TV series in the world to be produced with the investment scale, shooting techniques, and post-production rendering of a movie!

The director... is also the famous Frank Darabont!

With the fermentation of time, "The Shawshank Redemption" has become more and more famous, and even in the hearts of fans and critics, this film has a special meaning.

In imdb's ranking, "The Shawshank Redemption" overwhelmed "The Godfather" and ranked first!

Frank Darabont has also become a great god in the hearts of many senior movie fans.

Planned by Dunn Walker, directed by Frank Darabont, with a total investment of 100 million U.S. dollars... Will the TV series "The Walking Dead" be less effective?

This year, the sta TV network canceled Comcast's exclusive operating rights and chose to cooperate with more cable TV operators.

In addition, starz TV broadcasted many excellent TV programs such as "Face Changing", "Six Feet Under 3", "Flyover", "The Punisher", which promoted a sharp increase in the number of subscribers.

When the last episode of "The Punisher" was broadcast, the number of sta members had reached 17.14 million!

With the promotion of "The Walking Dead", the sta TV network became popular again!

This situation makes many people feel familiar.

This is simply a replica of when Starz TV broadcast "Band of Brothers" back then!

"Since Tang En took over Starz Television, he has made drastic reforms to the strategic decision of Starz Television. With "Band of Brothers" as the benchmark, it has opened the era of high-quality and large-scale American TV dramas! This is in line with the blockbuster strategy he has always advocated. .” – Fox News.

""Band of Brothers" is a milestone in the history of TV dramas. After two years, there are still countless viewers immersed in the high-quality production of "Band of Brothers". Now, the opportunity has come again! Dunn Walker made another move, and he invited Frank Darabont, who has an excellent reputation in the film industry, adapted his comic "The Walking Dead". It is conceivable that this must be a TV series with great depth." - msn.

"The number of starz TV station members has exceeded 17 million! In other words, nearly 15% of the households in the United States have chosen to subscribe to this channel. In fact, there has been such a voice in the TV industry—want to watch current affairs news , go to CNN; if you want to watch sports, go to ESPN; if you want to watch tasteful and in-depth TV programs, go to Starz TV!" - Boston Globe.

"The last season of "Friends" is on the air, and it has become the undisputed champion of ratings. However, which TV series is the most concerned by the market at the moment? I am afraid it is not "Friends" in the public domain, but the phenomenon-level "The Walking Dead" ! This TV series, on the small screen, will bring users the experience of watching movies on the big screen!" - "Rolling Stone".

As "The Walking Dead" is about to land on Starz TV station, all the major media have started to build momentum.

Some are based on the popularity of "The Walking Dead", some are promoted by the media hired by New Universal, and some are spontaneously recommending high-quality TV series to readers based on the conscience of the media people...

In short, "The Walking Dead" became popular before it was broadcast!

It's completely on fire!

"After the hit drama "The Punisher" ended, the number of subscribers of the Sta TV network increased instead of falling, and it looks like it will exceed 18 million household users!"

Isla Fisher was excitedly reporting to Dunn.

"oh?"

Tang En smiled.

After returning from Japan, he has been in a good mood, and it can be said that the aftertaste has not disappeared.

Isla Fisher's sense of belonging to the company is unquestionable. She said with a smile: "Comcast's data, in the past week, increased by 270,000 subscribers; Warner Cable's data, an increase of 310,000 subscribers; There are 80,000 subscribers, and even o has added more than 10,000 subscribers... Now, the total subscribers of STA TV Network have reached 17.88 million!"

Tang En said confidently: "This is not too small. Remember the "Band of Brothers" two years ago? It directly increased the number of subscribers of the STA TV network by more than 10 million! Now, there are still a large number of people Onlookers, they are not sure about the quality of "The Walking Dead", so they don't dare to subscribe. After all... the subscription fee of the sta TV network is quite expensive. However, with the broadcast of the first episode of "The Walking Dead", word of mouth will definitely explode. It is conceivable that the next week... will be the critical period for the number of sta TV network users to explode!"

Isla Fisher blinked, and suddenly said: "Our variety show "Universal Next Top Model" is about to broadcast the last episode live on NBC."

"oh."

Tang En nodded lightly.

He won't pay too much attention to such trivial matters, even if "Universal Next Top Model" is a reality show he personally planned.

Supermodel?

Tang En deeply disagreed.

It is just to satisfy the curiosity of some viewers.

The real top supermodels are a group of people who have received professional training since childhood. Excellent seedlings have already been poached by major brokerage companies and signed.

Who would show off on a reality show like this?

So Tang En has never been interested in this show, even though..."supermodel" is a very charming word.

Next month, the Victoria's Secret supermodel show will start again in New York.

Even if Tang En wants to change his taste, from the youthful innocence of Japanese girls to the wild and hot international supermodel, the first choice must be the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

At this time, Tosca Musk walked over with a look of joy, "Twain, good news!"

"What's wrong?"

"Viacom has officially announced that Viacom's board of directors passed a resolution and voted to remove the vice chairman, director, and president of the board of directors, Mel Kamasin!"

"real?"

Tang En's eyes lit up.

The excitement that this news gave him was no less than the good news brought about by the explosive influence of "The Walking Dead".

Tosca Musk nodded solemnly, and said with a smile: "It's true, I just confirmed it! Although the news has not been announced, but... I consulted the legal department, and Viacom must at least pay May At least $260 million for El Kamasin!"

"Good! Good! It seems that by next year, Lei Shidong will be completely eliminated!" Tang En was gearing up, as if impatient, he waved his arms, "Tell George, everything will start according to the plan!"
