Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

""Soul Chariot" may become Jed Sherman's biggest investment failure since he was a producer!" "Variety" reporter reported, "The Marvel superhero movie "Soul Chariot" released on February 2 this year ” has been controversial since its candid filming, and now this epic masterpiece with a production cost of up to 16 million U.S. dollars actually encountered a box office Waterloo after a week of release. According to Marvel Comics fans, this is a very ugly animation adaptation Movie."

"After the failure of "Chariot of Soul", Sherman Entertainment Group urgently convened the board of directors. It is believed that Lionsgate Films, which was responsible for the production of the film, will be punished at the meeting." CBS "Evening News" reported, "Although thank you Sherman Entertainment Group is an unlisted company, and Jed Sherman and its Sherman Holdings Private Company and Sherman Family Development Fund in an absolute holding position are the controlling shareholders of the group, but the third shareholder - Italy UniCredit Bank has sent a person in charge to attend the board of directors, and it is presumed that some resolutions on the company's internal adjustments will be made at the board of directors."

"After the board of directors of Sherman Entertainment Group ended, Jed Sherman and John Colombo both left the group headquarters with uneasy faces. And Ms. Shannity Zhang, who has been the director of human resources of the group and has been the spokesperson of the board of directors, is also silent. Leaving, people can't help but wonder whether the board of directors has a resolution that is not favorable to Mr. Sherman." ABC "Good Morning!The United States reported, "According to an informed executive, the failure of the "Soul Chariot" investment has shattered the 'Sherman Myth' within the group. Therefore, representatives of UniCredit Bank and Berkshire Hathaway have criticized Jed Sherman, chairman of the board of directors of the group, expressed dissatisfaction and demanded changes to the company's internal management system. Sherman Entertainment Group is one of the three major multinational companies under Mr. Jed Sherman, with twelve major subsidiaries The company and other important departments and branches. The chairman of the company's board of directors is Mr. Jed Sherman, and the company's president is Mr. John Colombo, Mr. Sherman's partner. In addition, Mr. Sherman's close friend Shanny Ms. Ti Zhang is the HR director of the company. In addition, the four vice presidents and the general managers of the six major subsidiaries are all former employees of the Galaxy Film Group. According to analysis by analysts, the current Sherman Entertainment Group Internally, the 'Galaxy' led by Jed Sherman and the newly emerging young faction had irreconcilable conflicts. However, because Jed Sherman's personal prestige was too high, the 'Galaxy' stabilized the 'young faction'. But The failure of "Chariot of Souls" obviously gave the youngsters a chance to challenge the galaxy, and Sherman Entertainment Group will be in deep turmoil in the future."

"At the same time that Sherman Entertainment Group was in deep turmoil, India's Reliance Group, an Indian electrical oligarch and one of the largest private companies in Asia, announced to enter Hollywood and will establish Reliance Entertainment Group in New York City. At the same time, Reliance Entertainment Group will hold Reliance International Entertainment Group, and Reliance International Entertainment Group is currently India's largest cable TV operator, and is also the major shareholder of India's largest film company, Indian National Film Company, and also holds South Asia's largest wireless TV network - Indian Television Network "NBC "Finance" reported, "According to sources, Reliance Entertainment Group has negotiated the acquisition of DreamWorks. In addition to the acquisition of DreamWorks, Reliance Entertainment Group has also expressed its preference for Sherman Entertainment Group several times. According to UniCredit Bank, they are very happy to introduce Reliance Entertainment Group to become the fourth largest shareholder of Sherman Entertainment Group But this news was denied by the spokesperson of the Sherman family, and said that the shares held by Sherman Holdings Private Company, Sherman Family Development Fund and Jed Sherman have accounted for more than half of the company. Reliance Entertainment Group's attempt will not be realized. However, Reliance Entertainment Group is believed to have begun to make acquisition offers to some of Sherman Entertainment Group's minority shareholders."

Jed turned off the TV, while John quietly sipped his red wine.It's the latest venture for Jed and John, who bought a winery in Italy called Crown of Thorns.Although Italian wineries are not as famous as their neighbors in France, they are considered one of the top wineries in the world.

In addition to the traditional Rabiono wine, the winery of this crown of thorns winery also has a brand-new Merlot wine.Rabiono wine is the most typical red wine in Italy, with a fruity aroma and an unusually passionate bright red color; while Merlot wine is a slightly sweet light red wine with a ruby ​​red color that women like.In addition to red wine, the crown of thorns also produces some white wine, and this white wine is made from the blend of Chardonnay and Riesling grapes, which has a unique flavor.

Since this winery is not big, except for Jed and John who drink it themselves, most of the rest are given to their friends as gifts.Of course, some of them are sent to Gordon Ramsay's restaurant. Today, Chef Ramsay has his own restaurants in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and Tokyo, and the Los Angeles restaurant has successfully won two Michelin stars. And the London restaurant also has a one-star review.

"The Reliance Group really came from bad people this time." Jed also had some headaches. He didn't expect that the retribution for offending the Reliance Group a few years ago would come at this time.

Jade knows that 2007 will be the most important turning year for the company, because many of this year's movies are quite controversial.After "Chariot of Soul", which failed both at the box office and word of mouth, there is still the pitiful "Grinding Chamber" waiting for me. Fortunately, Quentin Tarantino's films have always been favorites of film critics, so the reputation of "Grinding Chamber" Shouldn't be too bad.It's just that now that UniCredit Bank is in trouble, there is the shadow of Reliance Group behind it, which can't help Jade to be careful.

"Don't you have a good relationship with Yuxin Bank? What happened this time, you actually stabbed us in the back?"

John shook the red wine in the glass, smiled and said: "It's because of the good relationship that you deliberately warned, okay! Did you not contact other people because of the Reliance Group? Which one is not a better partner, Sony Group or Warner Group? If it is not Yuxin The bank told us the news, how could we have the chance to catch the big fish of the Reliance Group? Don’t forget, UniCredit Bank is taking a big risk, once the news leaks out, their reputation will be completely ruined.”

"Okay." Jed rubbed his temples, "How are the people inside the company?"

"You don't have to worry about the executives at all. Everyone is very confident in the company's future. If you have to leave just because a few movies are not doing well at the box office, there will be few companies in Hollywood that can start working." John sipped After drinking some wine, "As for the middle management, there are indeed a few people who are unstable. I have already arranged for personnel to talk to them. If they insist on leaving, then let's go according to the contract. It just so happens that we can save some manpower expenses."

While Jed and John were calmly dealing with the so-called turmoil in the company, Froz Singh, the president of Reliance Entertainment Group, was complacently reporting to Reliance Group, "Your Excellency, please believe in your ability to handle affairs. We can force the Sherman Entertainment Group to go bankrupt in three months. At that time, not only Galaxy Movies will be your plaything, but even established companies such as MGM and United Artists will be your collection. We Indians will The best human beings on this planet."

"I believe in you." A middle-aged man who seemed innocent and harmless to humans and animals was basking in the sun on a yacht, surrounded by several beauties.If you are concerned about Indian film and television news, you will find that these beauties are the so-called pure and beautiful girl group that has just become popular in India-Princess Dream.The man smiled and ate the grapes brought by the beautiful girl, and at the same time smiled into the phone, "Singer, if this matter is done well, you will not only secure the position of president of Reliance Entertainment Group, but also get a part of the shares. Of course, the most important thing is that you can choose a female star from my film company to be your female secretary. Haha, if you like men, I also have many male stars here for you to choose from."

"Then thank you, Your Excellency." Singer was already drooling.

In his mind, he had already thought of the newcomer signed by his master's record company, the young singer just now.Singer had already imagined all kinds of unbearable postures in his mind, and at the same time sent an email.In addition to UniCredit Bank, of course Singh flirted with the Japanese.After all, those beautiful Japanese boys from Sony are really pink and juicy, which will be unforgettable for a long time.

Although Singer secretly had a penchant for men of one sort or another, he was explicitly anti-gay in public.On the first day he came to the United States, he appealed to the American conservative media that "homosexuality is an unforgivable sin", for which he received the support of many American conservatives.Of course, because of his extremely conservative remarks, his plan to acquire DreamWorks failed.Just because of his big mouth, DreamWorks did not split in the end, and Jed felt that he was doing good things with bad intentions.

But what Singer didn't expect was that his every move had already been targeted by the FBI. The FBI is not targeting Singer because they have some ulterior relationship with Jed or John, but because Singer is really NoZuoNoDieWhyYouTry?Although the United States is a free country, at the same time, the protection of minors in this country is meticulous.Singer, who was dubbed by the American conservative media as "the new symbol of correcting the American ethos", not only disturbed the radicals, but also once attacked minors.Just because the Singh people were in India back then, the FBI had no law enforcement powers, but now they are overjoyed when they go to the United States. The FBI not only immediately applied for a search warrant from a federal judge, but also asked the NSA to help monitor Singer's phone calls and emails, so a lot of interesting content was discovered by the FBI.

Because the people in the FBI Los Angeles office had a good relationship with John, during a private party, a certain supervisor "accidentally revealed" a little information because he was "drunk".Under these hints, John also arranged for hackers to capture Singer's personal computer, and obtained a lot of content that made John feel red-faced.Especially if some content is released, not only will Singer's reputation be discredited, but he will also face more than ten years in prison for felony crimes.
