Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

For a country with a well-developed entertainment industry, many entertainment industries in the United States are already assembly line operations.In the simplest terms, script creation in the film and television industry is an assembly line job.Generally, the creator (chief creator) proposes the story outline, plot line and basic settings, and then the array writers (chief writers) complete the outline.In the United States, when it comes to copyright attribution and award attribution, creators are identified instead of writers.Although writers have authorship rights, they only enjoy a basic salary, unlike creators who can get box office dividends.

The same is true in the publishing ranks. The actual copyright of some series of books is in the hands of a certain creative company, and they find different gunmen authors to perfect the book.Main story, branch story, prequel and postquel, derivative works... etc. Of course, gunmen authors can sign their names and get basic remuneration, but they don't have the right to control the entire work.Once creative companies no longer need them, they have to transition to writing other novels.

In fact, Mel Stephanie is the copyright of the "Twilight" series, which is owned by the Los Angeles Magical Literature Creative Foundation invested by Jed Sherman. Stories of vampires, werewolves, and witches on our own side, such as "Wolf" and "Witch of the East End", are integrated under this foundation, and a group of writers build a unified timeline and world view for the whole story.Because Jed wants to establish a rule about magical themes, just like the dnd rule in the game.Because the most profitable business of the real group is "selling rules".

It can be said that Mel Stephanie's chances of winning are very low, but she still brought Jed Sherman to court with a "disgusting person" attitude.The enraged Jed naturally counter-sued Mel and applied for a court injunction.In the eyes of many people, Jed's approach seems a bit excessive, but Jed's public relations consultant needs to let the world see Jed's toughness.Perhaps because Jed is not a strong man, many people feel that Jed is very weak or something.

Public relations believe that such an impression is not conducive to Jade's future development, especially since Jade is now the chairman and president of several multinational companies. An image that is too weak will make investors worry about the company's prospects.At the same time, both public relations and lawyers believe that it is necessary to "kill chickens and monkeys" through this case. After all, there are still legal risks in many industries under Jed's name.The simplest one is when Jed helped Michael Jackson switch to the shares of United Television Music Publishing Company left behind by his company, which involves Sony Music and other giants of the American music industry.Although the risk has not been detonated, the time bomb is the most terrifying.Jed's assistant team just wants to give others an illusion, even if we are wrong, but if you dare to bite, you have to weigh your own teeth.And even if you can bite off a piece of meat, we will have to break a few of your teeth.So Mel has become the best benchmark in the eyes of Jade's assistant team. Anyway, she is also a chess piece of the other side. Since she is a chess piece, she must have the awareness of a chess piece.

Once the tone of action was determined, all parties started to move.First of all, TV stations such as We TV Network and Art Entertainment TV Network of Sherman International Media Group under Jed's name have issued a gag order to Mel, and any programs related to Mel cannot be broadcast on any channel under Sim.Although some media criticized Jed for abusing public property, no one was stupid enough to sue Jed for his actions, so Melton missed some program announcements.Immediately afterwards, the TV networks and cable channels of the two major media companies, CBS and Fox, which had the best relationship with Jade, also blocked Mel Stephanie.

Even though Redstone and Murdoch didn't say anything, the sudden disappearance of Meyer from their network could make any fool feel the wind wasn't blowing.Then, NBC, which still had a bit of a relationship with Jed, also greatly reduced the number of appearances of Mel, and only ABC was left in the entire United States still trying to wave the flag for Mel.Only abc, which ranks fourth among the five major wireless TV networks, is in the lead for Mel, and Mel's agent also feels great pressure; and in terms of cable channels, Disney has shown their weakness in cable channels, and almost none of the cable channels have programs Willing to invite Mel.First of all, inviting Mel will offend an international media tycoon. The heads of the production company have to think about whether they will be retaliated by Jed; Why bother to die together?

The most important thing is that the public relations team of Jed and John recently created a series of images for the two. Jed is a typical example of the American dream of a prodigal son returning; John is the representative of immigrant families who are self-improving.The two also started to join hands or appeared on many talk shows separately, reviewing their stories for everyone.Only then did the people of the United States discover that Jed, who was invincible in the shopping malls, had such absurd past, and Jed, who fell from the altar, immediately had a large number of grassroots fans.

And John's sternness in the prosecutor era won him the support of many conservatives and housewives. Even the California Republican Committee intends to invite John to return to politics and fight for the post of California State Attorney in the coming year, and promises to serve as the state attorney within five years. Governor of California, served as U.S. Attorney General for ten years.If it weren't for the Republican Party's concern that the United States has never had a gay president, they even planned to let John run for president.However, John said that he no longer wants to hold public office, and he wants to spend more time with his family.

Of course, the most important thing is the unmatched appeal of Jed and John in the gay community. They are representatives of the gay community in the United States in pursuit of marriage equality and adoption equality. Version.

As soon as Jed's countermeasures started, Mel Stephanie also immediately felt the strength of her former boss.But she found that she had no chance of turning back, so she had to continue to move forward with the encouragement of the boss behind the scenes.It's a pity that this road became narrower and narrower, and soon she found that there was a dead end in front of her; what was important was that her boss behind the scenes was also silent.Until her agent told her that the boss behind the scenes had given up on her.

Melton broke down suddenly, and she cried: "Can we reconcile with Mr. Sherman? I can give up everything, even if I have to apologize or something, I can do it!"

Her manager shook her head in pain. In fact, he had already dissuaded Mel from trying to challenge opponents who were not her level.But Mel was completely dazzled by anger and interests, and took a fatal move. Now there is no chance of turning back.

After pondering for a long time, her agent suggested: "Ms. Stephanie, I suggest that you first withdraw the lawsuit, then sincerely apologize on your official website, and finally we leave the United States to seek opportunities in the European continent."

"Why did I leave?" Mel was puzzled, "Why did you go to Europe? Don't you know that Rowling is watching my jokes in England? If I go to Europe, I will be nothing and be ridiculed by my sworn enemy !"

"Do you still have a choice?" Her manager sneered, "You stay in the United States to dissuade Mr. Sherman. Only when you leave the United States will you not be in the way of his eyes. After time erases this matter You can only come back. We are going to the European continent, not the UK! Do you think you have a chance in the UK? Don’t think that you will only be laughed at by Ms. Rowling in the UK. Mr. Sherman’s investment in the UK is also a lot, okay? You should be thankful that Mr. Sherman only invested in the British Sky Broadcasting Corporation under the name of Mr. Murdoch. If he invested in Sky Europe Media Group, you would have no chance to gain a foothold in Europe!"

Since Mel can serve as the writer of the five main storylines of "Twilight", she still has an IQ.Under the warning of her agent, she found that this was almost the only way out she could choose.Just as Sherman Film and Television Entertainment Group's Christmas production "Sherman Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows" was released, Mel withdrew the lawsuit and apologized to Jed Sherman on his official website.

This made Jade's team very depressed. Originally they planned to kill this "chicken" well, but this "chicken" actually admitted to being cowardly, and even avoided the European continent very smartly.If Jed continued to chase and kill him, then it would appear that he was immeasurable.So Jed had no choice but to quiet down and accept Mel Stephanie's apology.

不过杰德倒是没有特别在意梅尔，他现在在意的是小罗伯特唐尼。《大侦探福尔摩斯2：诡影游戏》上映当周就遭遇到了《鼠来宝3》和《碟中谍4》的联合狙击，虽然《大侦探福尔摩斯2》最终在首周凭借4000万美元的票房拿下冠军，但是这个票房成绩在以往同期简直是三甲之外的数据。因为《鼠来宝3》和《碟中谍4》的强势，他们分别抢下了2300万和1300万美元的票房。

In particular, "Mission: Impossible 4" was only shown in 400 theaters in the first week, so the single-house performance completely crushed "Sherlock Holmes 2".Everyone knows that this means that "Sherlock Holmes 2" has lost without a fight in next week's box office competition.And according to the reactions of fans and film critics, everyone agrees that Jude Law's Watson is much better than Robert Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes.

"Next week, "The Girl with the Dragon Totem 2" will also participate in the box office competition, and "Sherlock Holmes 2" probably won't even be the runner-up." Meribo frowned, "The company is so enthusiastic about Robert Tang Jr. Is it a good deal? The 'Iron Man series' is almost sold out, I think Iron Man 3 is over; and the 'Sherlock Holmes series' specially created for him has no prospect of making big money at all. Sherman Sir, I have to think that the commercial value of Mr. Downey is far less than that of Mr. Depp. Although Mr. Johnny Depp will take some inexplicable movies from time to time, his 'Pirates of the Caribbean series' is still our favorite The company's cash cow."

"Don't worry, when I say my farewell next year, Robert Downey Jr. will definitely become the top male star." Although Jed is also depressed, he can only cheer his team up now.

In fact, "The Avengers" has indeed become the highest-grossing movie in box office history. Unfortunately, Captain America and Thor are the stars in this movie, but Iron Man is about to be reduced to a supporting role.Jed rubbed his temples, it seemed that he had to find some time to talk to Robert Downey Jr.Don't try to promote others to the top, and it will be embarrassing for them to be very content with the status quo.
