Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

After more than half a month in a private ward at UCLA Medical Center, doctors finally released Jed, only to remind him that he needed to come back for check-ups every week until he fully recovered.Now that the most popular topic person has been discharged from the hospital, the gates of the UCLA Medical Center are naturally full of reporters. In order not to disturb Jade from these reporters, Shannity had to announce that a press conference will be held at the Dongfeng Building in Burbank this afternoon. .After getting this promise, the reporters dispersed one after another.When Jed arrived at the underground parking lot, he found that it was the Cadillac that picked him up.

"It was re-customized. Fortunately, their family is familiar with your configuration, so there are not many places that need to be remodeled." Shannetti explained.After the shooting, Shannetti is still very satisfied with Cadillac's bulletproof function.Cadillac, meanwhile, was delighted with how its vehicles performed in the shooting.To put it bluntly, Jade's shooting was equivalent to giving Cadillac the best advertisement. Suddenly, there were many more orders, which made Cadillac very happy.

Jed didn't say anything, just nodded and got into the car.The car was actually not much different from my custom-made car, except that under Shannetti's arrangement, there were two more escort cars at the front and back.Through John's relationship, Shannity hired a retired officer from the U.S. Delta Force as Jed's bodyguards, and at the same time specially hired two special forces retired from Taiwan Jieshouguan as Jed's bodyguards.Lin Bo'an is kind to these two people, so their mouths are quite reliable, which is why Shannetti dares to let them serve as Jed's personal bodyguards, personal bodyguards.Seeing such a big battle, Jed didn't know what to say.

"It's been chaotic lately, and we'll abolish some of the guards in a while." Shannetti also knew that this kind of battle was too exaggerated, but who can guarantee that the Japanese black dragon will suddenly get its head pinched by the door and then retaliate?Shannetti handed several documents to John, and then continued, "The mafia family in Los Angeles is very sorry for your attack, so they hope to have some compensation. I thought about it and decided to take this opportunity to talk to them Cut off contact. After all, we have cooperated with the Ministry of Justice once, and they also know our details. Who knows if they will arrest us for political achievements one day? Although the Mafia is a little unhappy, it still agreed to us Request. As compensation, we sold all the shares in the investment bank."

"It should be." Jed naturally knew that for the mafia gang in Los Angeles, the investment bank he helped them set up was the most profitable source of funds.However, Jed is not worried about the future of this bank. Anyway, if he wants to invest, he can open another investment bank or trust company to carry out the constellation at any time. "Is John still in New York?"

"Yes." Shannetti nodded, "It seems that he and the Ministry of Justice still have some things to deal with."

"I understand." Jed nodded. "You go and prepare two checks, one we donate to the Los Angeles Police Widows and Orphans Fund, and the other we donate to the FBI Family Relief Fund."

Shannetti was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood what Jed meant.As the biggest victim, Jed is naturally the one who has gained the most in this off-the-spot transaction. LAPD and FBI are not fools. If Jed doesn't make a distinction, it will not be so easy to get along with in the future.Donating directly to the FBI and LAPD may lead to speculation of "bribery", so donate to the public welfare funds behind them.These two funds are to help FBI agents or LAPD police officers solve their worries, so donating to them will not only gain a good reputation with the police, but also benefit the company's charity reputation.

Jed went back to his office and stood by the window looking out over Burbank.He suddenly discovered that there was a vacant lot next to his company, so he called Shannetti to ask if the vacant lot next door could be bought, and then he had a new plan.With the rapid development of the company, the current Dongfeng Building is already a bit crowded for Jade's company, so many departments have to work in other places.Although the construction of a new office building is imminent, Jed does not want to reduce his studio and green space, so Jed has not decided to start construction.Now that I found that there was a semi-abandoned site next door to me, I naturally decided to buy it.When Dongfeng Building was built, Jade planned to use it as a mixed building of office building and commercial plaza, but the new building will be a pure office building.Although these buildings seem to be many, but many companies in Jade are very space-consuming.For example, a TV company needs a certain studio, while a music company needs a certain recording studio and dance practice room, so the whole building is very difficult to use.After Shannetti received Jed's call, she naturally went to arrange for someone to inquire.

At the press conference in the afternoon, not only the media from Los Angeles and San Francisco were all present, but also the media from New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Houston.It is conceivable how much impact the Jade shooting had had. Not only did Congress quickly pass a bill aimed at combating organized crime, but the Clinton administration even wanted to take the opportunity to pass a bill to strengthen gun management. It was very noisy.The Justice Department defined the shooting as an assassination attempt on Jed, but reporters were not fooled.Who doesn't know that Jed's parents died unexplained?Who doesn't know the identity of Jed's grandfather?With all kinds of misgivings, the reporters naturally hoped that Jed's big mouth could reveal something to make them orgasm.

"This is just an assassination case, but we don't know who is behind the scenes yet." Jed made a statement at the request of the Ministry of Justice. I would like to express my condolences to the detectives and police officers who died in the shooting. To express my gratitude, I will donate $50 to the Los Angeles Police Widows and Orphans Fund and the FBI Family Relief Fund. As long as your intelligence is confirmed, you will be able to take the $10. Your identity will be strictly protected by the Ministry of Justice, so please don’t have doubts.”

After Jed finished speaking, he left the venue without giving reporters any chance to ask questions.But Shannetti quickly added a few pieces of information to calm the reporters' emotions. "Dongfeng TV Production Company has signed an agreement with HBO. The two parties will shoot a prison-themed TV series by the end of this year. It is expected that the TV series will be broadcast next year."

Although the reporters of the social and current affairs editions were somewhat dissatisfied, the reporters of the film, drama and entertainment editions were instantly ignited by gossip.Everyone knows that Warner Group is integrating its TV networks. Now Warner owns Turner Broadcasting Company, which is known as the first cable television network, so it looks down on other TV stations under its original umbrella, especially HBO. .But HBO's management is not a fool. They know that if they don't do something, they may be merged into TBS (Turner Broadcasting Company) in a year.But the reporters didn't guess that HBO's move was to directly remake it into a film and television drama channel and come out to fight TBS.After all, TBS is mainly a TV network focusing on news, sports and film and television dramas, especially the TNT channel under TBS is a standard TV drama channel.This time, it seemed that HBO was also in a hurry, and directly attacked its allies.

Shannetti stopped answering any news about this TV series after throwing out this news, only saying that the script is still being created, and the specific news will not be known until next year when it starts broadcasting.After a brief meeting with the reporters, Shannity naturally wanted to discuss with Jed about purchasing the land next door.Shannity has already spun off the real estate purchased by Jade from the company's assets and formed the Sherman Real Estate Development Company separately.The reason why this company was established was to prevent Jade from going bankrupt in the future and causing a chain reaction to the entire group.And according to Shannity's prediction, this company will not appear as a company under the group, but a private company fully controlled by Jade.

"Jed, I have a very interesting script here." Jia Fei found Jed with a script, "This is a script rejected by Fox, but their scriptwriters were unwilling, so they submitted it to our company. You Look, there is a theme about alien invasion called "Battle for Earth Defense."

""Defense of the Earth"?" Jed was a little surprised, because he had never heard of this movie in later generations.But when he picked up the script and read a passage, he suddenly realized that it was Emmerich's work, but why did it fall into his hands? "It might be better to change the name of the movie." Jed pointed to one of the lines and said, "Call it "Independence Day"!"

"But the name "Independence Day" seems to belong to Warner Films, will they agree?" Jia Fei was a little suspicious.

"They'll agree," Jed said with certainty.If Warner had a film of the same theme to shoot, they might not agree.But the problem is that they don't have the same theme or type of movie to shoot, so it's not interesting to occupy the name for nothing, isn't it?What's more, Jed's relationship with Warner is very good now. In addition to cooperating with Warner in TV and music, Jade's Muse Culture Publishing House and Warner's Time Life Publishing House are also very close.Jed believes that Warner will not embarrass himself in this regard, as long as he can pay the right price is enough.

"Then which director shall we arrange to take over?" Jia Fei was a little embarrassed.Wu Yusen and Michael Bay are already busy making their own movies, and Quentin will definitely not take over this movie.And if the movie is to be renamed "Independence Day", then it would be best to release it on July 7 or 3, but the problem is that not only there are no quick shooters in the company, but even the director is gone.

"Let me shoot!" Jed was very happy when he thought of the devastating blow to the White House and the city of Chicago in the script.Moreover, the current level of special effects is more advanced than when Emmerich was filming. Jed not only wants to bomb the White House, but also the Pentagon and Capitol Hill. It is best to bomb the North American Aerospace Defense Command. "By the way, I, Jed Michael, left a contact information of the public relations department of the Ministry of Defense, and asked our air force, if they are interested in taking on the mission of saving the earth?"

"Okay!" Although Jia Fei wanted to remind Jed to pay attention to his body, he swallowed the words when he saw his interest.
