Hollywood New Century

Chapter 271: enough now

The poor performance of Paramount in recent years is the biggest reason why Summer Redstone has increased his attention to Paramount.

As a traditional Hollywood film studio, Paramount has a huge influence, which is why Viacom Group spent huge sums of money to acquire Paramount.

Somer Redstone, who believes in "content is king", is very fond of film production. As the locomotive of brand output, film is very important to the development of the group.

It was noon when Summer Redstone and Philip Dorman left Paramount headquarters.

"MTV's success, Tom's ability is good, his previous idea was to attract the attention of young people, and theaters also like the release of movies that are popular with young people," Summer Redstone said of Tom Freis Dayton, in the position of CEO of the new Viacom Group for less than 3 years and then went back to manage MTV.

"MTV's performance has always been good, and the focus is indeed on young people!" Philip Dorman, as the direct descendant of Summer Redstone, understands the boss's mind very well.

Power, the entire Viacom Group has been fighting for power too seriously in the past few years. The old and frail Summer Redstone did not let go of power, and he fought a lawsuit with almost all his relatives.

"Paramount is an important asset of our Viacom Group. Needless to say, the importance of Xinghai Entertainment is indeed developing rapidly," Summer Redstone can only admit that it is smaller than the one he took over from his father. The industry has grown to the large entertainment group it is today.

Simon Pike's establishment of Xinghai Entertainment from scratch seems to be even more commendable.

"At that time, the distribution contract with Marvel Entertainment was not signed, which was indeed a big loss for us, but we currently have the live-action version of "Transformers" and the distribution rights of DreamWorks Animation, which should occupy a certain market share. Yes." Philip Dorman said, looking at Summer Redstone's unchanging expression, and continued:

""Star Trek" is also a trump card of Paramount, this restart, I believe there will be unexpected results!"

"The innovation of content is not enough. At present, other film companies seem to have their own series of hits. We have relied on DreamWorks to turn over the past few years," Summer Redstone was obviously dissatisfied, not because of poor grades. , How can you spend huge sums of money on the acquisition of DreamWorks?

"In content production, we must increase investment!" Summer Redstone said decisively.

"Understood, Mr. Redstone, I will focus on Paramount's business with Mr. Brad Gray," Philip Dorman's car is not film and television entertainment, but as the helm of the new Viacom, of course Understand Paramount's place in Summer Redstone's heart.

"And Tom Cruise, don't need to target anymore, and now he is also trying to restore his image, Paramount has worked with him for many years before, and the "Mission Impossible" series is also a successful series, His influence is still worth investing in in Hollywood," said Summer Redstone, who is too old now and can no longer devote himself to the front-line of film and television as he did when he was young. Now he can only increase his attention to Paramount and let the Ramon truly became the locomotive of his own entertainment business.

"By the way, I heard from Brad in the last few days that he has been in contact with the heads of several major studios such as Warner Bros. and Disney," Philip Dorman said, with a slight smile on his face,

"Xinghai Entertainment, it seems that it needs to be contained!"

"It's really time to stop it, the box office market and awards and honors, the share of Xinghai Entertainment is getting bigger and bigger, and the glorious DreamWorks back then failed to succeed. Now Simon Parker wants to challenge the authority of the six majors, it's time to suffer. ," Summer Redstone is a standard capitalist, isn't it a normal operation to develop himself and contain his opponents?

"Oscar's jury network, media film critic resources, public opinion news orientation, Hollywood needs to learn a lot, but there is a lot!" Summer Redstone closed his eyes and started to sleep.

Philip Dorman just nodded to himself and said nothing.

The pie in the movie market is currently so big. If you eat too much without a strong foundation, you will definitely offend other competitors.

Simon Parker certainly doesn't doubt that he will be targeted, but he doesn't know that he will be strongly concerned by Summer Redstone, the top tycoon in Hollywood.

However, at the moment Simon Pike is immersed in the excitement of acquiring the Miami Dolphins, after all, a club in the NFL. Everyone knows that the current NFL league is composed of the NFC (National Football Federation) and the AFC (American Football Association), each with four teams in each of the four regions of the east, west, north and south.

Therefore, the NFL has a total of 32 teams, and the annual championship match between AFC and NFC is the famous Super Bowl in the United States.

The Miami Dolphins are one of four teams in the AFC East that won the Super Bowl twice in 1972 and 1973.

Of course, the acquisition of an NFL team will not be so fast, but Simon's nine-headed bird sports acquisition of the Miami Dolphins has also been confirmed, only the signature behind.

However, the management and management rights of the Miami Dolphins have already begun to be handed over. After all, the NFL draft at the end of April is also a big event.

Just in time for this year's Super Bowl, the finals will also be held at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, a seaport city on the west coast of Florida.

The two sides are Pittsburgh Steelers (AFC) and Arizona Cardinals (NFC).

More than 70,000 people poured into the Raymond James Stadium on the night of 1.31, and the whole stadium was full of people.

Simon Parker and Ivanka sat in their seats in casual clothes to enjoy the American Spring Festival Gala game.

"I heard that Los Angeles has been hoping to re-introduce an NFL team since the Rams moved out. Why has it been unsuccessful?" Ivanka asked. The second largest city in the United States does not have a football team, which makes no sense.

"Venue and human factors, it is difficult for the surrounding communities in Los Angeles to find a site to renovate or rebuild the stadium, and many rich people in Los Angeles are not local, and they feel that the sport of football is too barbaric and does not conform to the rich and noble momentum," Simon also said. I don't know the specific reasons, but the market is definitely not bad. The current St. Louis Rams were in Los Angeles before 1980.

"Haha, this is a waste of this big market," Ivanka didn't care, and continued to laugh,

"You'd love to have a team in your hometown, right? One is in Miami, the other is coming to New York soon, and if LA has another..."

"Forget it, I don't have that ability. If there is a team, Los Angeles is always my home base for Xinghai Entertainment!" Simon said disdainfully, he couldn't force it anyway, Miami and New York were probably enough.
