unofficial hollywood life

Even the most cunning jackals will fail to hunt, and so did Carl Icahn and Ronald Perelman. The entire company is an enemy except them, and Diana is among them Stirring the wind and the rain, in this case, it would be strange if they didn't fail!

It's just that this kind of lawsuit involving a company is often not completed in a short period of time. It took nearly two years for this lawsuit to be settled. After bankruptcy and reorganization, Marvel not only kicked Perelman After going out, even Carl Icahn was kicked out, but he still kept part of the Marvel company stock in his hands.

"Good deal, Mr. Icahn." Diana held out her hand and smiled at Icahn.

The nearly two-year lawsuit has caused the former chairman of Marvel to be kicked out, and at the same time, it has also exhausted his patience. Originally, the purpose of acquiring the company's stock was to make money. Now that someone is willing to take over his stock , or a premium acquisition, why not do it?

So he also smiled and held Diana's hand, "A happy transaction, Miss Morgan, I hope there will be opportunities to continue working together in the future."

Except for the business confrontation in Marvel, there is no other personal grievances between the two people. There is no such thing as an enemy for the woman in front of him who has no connection with his life trajectory. It can't be said that there is something like deliberately doing the right thing.Therefore, the transaction between the two went very smoothly, and they even planned to continue to cut some more flesh from this rich little girl if they had the opportunity in the future.

Diana, who took over the shares held by the major shareholders of Perelman and Icahn, has also become the largest shareholder of Marvel, the kind that can hold shares.

However, she had already said before that she would not interfere with the company's normal business operations, so she did not intervene in the company's usual affairs.Instead, the opening of "Spider-Man" that was said at the beginning was put on Marvel's to-do schedule, and before that, what they need to do is to take back all the copyrights that have been left outside, including things such as "Iron Man" and "Hulk" are important figures related to the future Marvel universe plan.

For Diana, it may not be an easy task for others to get these two characters back, but as the major shareholder of Universal Pictures' parent company, it is not a big problem.The current Marvel is not the later Marvel that was called a money-making machine. As long as there is enough money, everything is easy to talk about.As early as when Marvel went bankrupt, Diana opened a deal with Universal Pictures, and received the copyright of the two characters in her pocket, so as to lay a good foundation for future things, and by the way, save Tony Star Ke, the future of Marvel's most profitable character, has been wandering from company to company.

On the other hand, some other copyrights in other companies are more troublesome, because the situation in them is really complicated enough, and even Marvel, the main family, feels a headache about this situation.However, considering that these copyright figures have little influence on the future of Marvel, the company's top management has let it go. Anyway, the most profitable characters are already in the hands of the company's big boss, and the rest are not that important.

So hurry up, the newly established Marvel Pictures finally succeeded in shooting the "Spider-Man" movie before the New Year in 1999, and the rest is the preparation and shooting of the project.For this aspect, Diana has no plans to intervene, since she is too busy with her own, how can she have time to work on other movies?

There is a difference between a real son and a godson!

Leaving aside the headache-inducing mess of Marvel, Diana turned her attention to the clothes she was going to wear tonight.

The great success of "Mission: Impossible" made Paramount, the big boss who holds half of the copyright and the sole distribution right, very happy, so soon, a sequel was put on the agenda.And Tom lived up to expectations with the sequel and swept all the way in this year's summer file, adding another brilliant result to his box office record.

Tonight is "Mission: Impossible 2" celebrating the box office of over [-] million in North America and over [-] million worldwide. By the way, preparations for the third part are also on the agenda.

"My dear, you are so beautiful today." Tom, who had already changed into his suit, leaned over and kissed Diana on the face, and said with a smile.

The success of the "Mission: Impossible" series is not only the success of the commercial box office and the increase in salary, but also means that his own weight in the right to speak in the film is gradually increasing, and the weight of the right to speak represents That means he will be able to share more in the future revenue of the movie, which is of course very happy for him.

"Thank you, honey, you are handsome today." Diana kissed Tom back and also smiled.

In the past two years, the lives of the two people have been very fulfilling. They took turns taking care of the children and working at home, and took the two little ones out for a short trip in their free time. The life is not too comfortable, it can be seen Most Hollywood couples are dying of envy!

Of course, because the two little ones are too young, the two of them can't go too far, but even so, they can get enough time to relax after work, which is good for being shrouded in the spotlight for a long time. Good enough for Tom and Diana, they are happier than most of the stars who live here, they have a family and wealth, what more can you ask for?

Soon, the two of them drove to the hotel where the banquet was held. Paramount also worked hard for today's reception, making it look like a star.

"No way, the performance of Paramount itself in recent years has not been outstanding. The best performance is "Titanic", but that film was produced by [-]th Century Fox, and Paramount only owns its North American distribution rights. That's all, it's not my own work. The only thing that can really be regarded as Paramount's own performance is Tom's "Mission: Impossible" series, so of course Paramount wants to make this reception look more grand, for those who see The person who made the joke hit back." Shirley Lansing said with a slight sarcasm on the corner of her mouth.

Diana glanced at her in surprise. This is not something a company CEO would say. Could it be that Lei Shidong is dissatisfied with this lady now?It shouldn't be, didn't the gossip say that it would take several years before Lei Shidong became dissatisfied with the CEO lady and fired her?

But after thinking about it, dissatisfaction is accumulated slowly, and it is impossible for the media tycoon to directly fire Shirley Lansing, a meritorious CEO who has served Paramount for many years.In addition, because Tom didn't accept the movie "Close Eyes", "Mission: Impossible 2" was advanced, so that he got more benefits, so it is certain that Mr. Lei Shidong will be dissatisfied with this .

Especially in this sequel, Tom paid the director's salary himself, so as to gain more advantages in sharing.If the box office of the movie is not so good, maybe the tycoon can bear it, but when the box office of the movie is so good, more advantages mean more benefits that will slip into Paramount's pocket and slip into Tom's pocket. Buying it in his pocket is undoubtedly something that Redstone can't bear. After all, he pays others out of his own pocket. If Tom hadn't got a foot in it, the money should have been his own. Who can bear this?

Uh, not right either.Diana immediately refuted her own words. It's not that the bosses of other companies have tolerated this situation. After all, they are working for a large company, and Paramount is to some extent owned by Redstone. It was normal for him to be dissatisfied with Tom if he wanted to.However, this guy's tolerance is really too small. He kicked him out first, and then invited him back after his performance declined.

With so many thoughts in Diana's mind, Shirley Lansing's words quickly came to her mouth, "Life always has its ups and downs, and the same applies to film companies. Who knows what will happen in the future? What happens, maybe after a while it will be Paramount's turn to laugh at people."

Shirley Lansing raised the corners of her lips and smiled, but did not comment on Diana's words, and raised her glass to signal her.

Of course, she also has dissatisfaction in her heart. It would not be comfortable for anyone who does a good job to be interfered by the boss.God knows how much trouble Lei Shidong has caused her in the past two years, and how many originally scheduled projects have been messed up, just thinking about it makes her so angry that she is about to have a heart attack!

Considering the attitude of the new boss towards them, the old people in the company, Shirley felt even more uncomfortable. She always felt that the time when the other party took full control of the company was the time for the old people to step down, which made her uneasy. , and even already considering the way out.

"This series is very successful, and the company will soon start planning for the third one. Does Tom have a favorite director?" Shirley changed the subject and asked about another matter.

"Mission: Impossible" project, although Paramount owns half of the copyright and distribution rights, and they even invest in it, but the leading party is Tom and Paula's company, especially Tom, who has the final word on everything about the project power.

For example, the choice of the director, if he is not satisfied, the film cannot be carried out. After all, this is a film promoted under his name, and even half of the copyright is still copyright, and he has enough weight in it interfere in any way.

The director of this sequel, John Wu, although he directed the movie with a good box office, but the word of mouth is very mediocre. Whether it is from the perspective of the film company or from a personal point of view, I am afraid that the director of the next film will not be good. It will be him, so it becomes a very important thing to choose who will be the director of the third film.

The author has something to say:

Dou Sen loses powder...Anyway, because of the incident between him and Taylor, I feel awkward when I see his face. I once thought about losing fans of Wyeth, but considering that I have been eating it, I don’t like it. After eating for so many years, I am too lazy to take it off, and there is no difference whether I can take it off or not. I will continue to eat it in the future, so I won’t slap my face←_←

As for the advertisement, regardless of the factors not related to the advertisement, the planning of this advertisement is actually very powerful. It successfully captured the resentment psychology of Asian women towards their husbands, and created a perfect husband image. Friends get together, but come home to cook for my wife, even if you are busy, remember to sweet talk to your wife. This is what Asian women expect in life. From this point of view, this marketing is simply amazing!Then again, I personally think that women in any country would not want their husbands to treat their wives as subordinates after returning home. Why do they have to look for abuse when they can live a sweet life? The British are sour It’s just because their stars didn’t shoot such commercials in the local area. To put it bluntly, the benefits are not big enough. You see, Pete has not accepted the local commercials. No matter how much the media mocks them, he is still very happy ╮(╯-╰)╭

In fact, Lao Wu's direction is not wrong. The "Mission: Impossible" series is now completely different from the original suspenseful movies, but it is moving towards the road of action movies.He is really very creative in action movies, and the ones that come out are basically classics.But this guy who always wants to play deep and culturally, and then rushes to the mother doesn't recognize it ㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏ
