Seven hundred and sixty-five – change
The “Vanity Fair” cocktail party entered Gaochao, where celebrities and handsome guys and beauties exchange cups, executives from major Hollywood companies, politely chatting with champagne, and actors and agents running around People, keep handing out business cards in their hands…
“Just now, Harvey and Meryl Streep got into the elevator upstairs together…”
Cate Blanchett, the new film queen, made a big turn, or showed off a big circle of her golden statuette, with a high self-satisfaction on her face. Back at Wayne, she whispered about the gossip she had just seen.
“Before the elevator door could close tightly, they couldn’t wait to stick together.”
Similar scenes were constantly being staged in the banquet hall, but when Cate Blanchett mentioned Harvey Weinstein, the expression on his face quickly changed to disgust.
In this circle, no one knows who has any strange hobbies in private. The disgust of the new film queen is obviously not something that only happened today. Her next gossip explained the reason. “You don’t know, during the filming of Shakespeare in Love, a lot of people saw Harvey hanging out with Judi Dench.”
“f**k, Judy must be 60 years old, right?” When he heard this, even Wayne, who had been smoking silently all the time, instantly widened his eyes.
He had always known that the big fat man had a strong taste before, but he didn’t expect the taste to be so outrageous. Thinking about the other actresses who were rumored with the fat man, it is not difficult to analyze, this guy is simply cold.
Nina shook her head, tsk tsk admiringly: “65 years old…”
“No, no, no, Kate, what’s your expression like.”
Looking at Cate Blanchett’s face, which always had Chi Lolo’s disgust and disgust, Wayne put away the smile on his face. It made him suddenly uncomfortable with the fact that she was grateful to Harvey Weinstein even before the Oscars were over.
“Listen, Kate.”
Wayne’s sudden change of face made Cate Blanchett unresponsive for a while, staring blankly into the man’s eyes.
“No matter what the outside world thinks about Harvey, no matter how many people say that he is a villain, bi**h, that he doesn’t believe what he says, but at least he really helped you publicize this little golden man. Don’t care why. , others can say he’s not good, but you can’t! Ok?”
“I understand.” Hearing Wayne’s words, Cate Blanchett nodded hurriedly with obvious panic in her eyes.
Very simple truth, even if this person is evil, as long as he is good to you and not evil to you, then he should be a good person to you.
As for why Wayne changed his face, everyone present thought of it. He himself has a lot of controversy inside and outside the circle. After Cate Blanchett used Harvey Weinstein, she can trample each other recklessly. Will she also trample Wayne like this one day? ? Who can say for sure?
Reluctantly took a long sip of his cigarette, Wayne glanced at Cate Blanchett and did not continue the topic. Having said that, this circle has always been like this, and it is the norm to hold high and step low.
“Kevin Tesuhara was waving at us.”
Nina approached Wayne’s ear and whispered a reminder, stretched out her hand, and pointed to the opposite side covertly.
Glancing in the direction indicated by the assistant, Wayne snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, unbuttoned the suit jacket beside him, and muttered in a low voice. “Let’s go, talk to them, and then we’ll go back and rest early.”
The reason why he would sit here all night is that he was waiting for Time Warner eo. And an “old white” sitting beside Kevin Tesuhara also caught his attention at the first time.
When Wayne moved here, one of them stared at him all the time, and at the same time received the desired signal.
“Sherry, Wayne Greenberg passed, when did we pass?”
In the corner of the banquet hall, Whoopi Goldenberg, the host of tonight’s Oscars, hurriedly looked back at his friend. “Is it past now?”
“Don’t worry, give them time to greet each other.”
Shirley Lansing, in a white lady’s suit, raised her glass and took a sip of champagne. (This chapter is not over!)

He said calmly in a low voice, “Wait, he won’t leave so soon.”
As one of the most powerful women in Hollywood, Shirley Lansing knows the reception too well, and the chairman of Viacom, and the reason why Time Warner eo is here, so she is a little bit Not in a hurry.
To put it bluntly, the original Oscar reception of “Vanity Fair” was actually just to increase its influence, or it could be regarded as a simple celebration. But over time, especially in recent years, the party has become more of a specific trading venue.
In the most luxurious hotels in Los Angeles, the guests are usually dressed in splendid dresses, but at the cocktail party, countless dirty deals are going on.
It is precisely the transaction that allows the two media industry leaders to sit down and negotiate, and it is destined to be no small matter.
“Hahaha, remember the bet at the Super Bowl? Take your time and I’ll give you a huge surprise.”
With a hearty laugh, Kevin Tesuhara mentioned the Super Bowl bet after an introduction and a brief chat. You know, in order to fulfill this bet, this time he not only bleed, but also sold a considerable amount of favor.
“Come on, Kevin.” After sitting down, Wayne’s voice was equally hearty, he lowered his head and lit the thick cigar, and said with disgust: “I’m going crazy, even when it’s time to sleep, I swear, it’s all squeezed out.”
“Hey, young man. But your net worth is also growing rapidly with your work, isn’t it?” Although he is over seventy years old, Samo Redstone’s hair is not much white, and he has a smile on his face. With a smile, he joked: “Seeing your energetic appearance reminds me of myself when I was young.”
eon, Mr. Redstone. ”
Kevin Tesuhara shrugged exaggeratedly and joked to the media tycoon: “I swear, when you were young, you must not have achieved what Wayne is now.”
“Hey, I’m so old, you have to save me some face.”
There was no serious business between the three of them, and there was no strange feeling that they had just met. Enjoying a cigar while telling jokes that are not really funny. But that’s social, successful people, and everyone is a good actor in these moments.
Obviously, before Kevin Tesuhara beckoned Wayne to come over, the business between the two bosses was over. Judging from the atmosphere between the two, the outcome of the talks was quite good.
“Good evening, Mr. Redstone.”
When three men in their 70s were talking about horse racing, Shirley Lansing brought Whoopi Goldenberg and came over at the right time to greet them politely.
“Good evening, Kevin. Hi Wayne, long time no see.”
“Long time no see, Miss Lansing.”
Wayne turned his head, inadvertently, his eyes were on the two ladies, and he looked around carefully.
Shirley Lansing, needless to say this woman, the other party’s achievements in Paramount Pictures are not inferior to those cunning male executives in the circle.
Beside this woman is Whoopi Goldenberg, who has been laughing all the time. He didn’t show the slightest smile for the presenter, who often appears at awards ceremonies.
But what happened next was beyond everyone’s expectations. Whoopi Goldenberg looked directly behind Wayne. To be precise, it was Cameron Diaz who was standing behind Wayne. Then, under the gazes of everyone, he said sincerely:
“Sorry, Ms. Diaz, I apologise to you for my nonsense at the Golden Globes. You know, I was just following the rhetoric given by the organizers, well, anyway, I The teasing is too much, sorry.”
After speaking, before Cameron Diaz, who was stunned for a while, could react, the black woman looked at Wayne. “Sorry, Mr. Greenberg. I am deeply ashamed of my actions.”
The moment Whoopi Goldenberg apologized, Wayne’s eyes narrowed. Instead of looking at the expression on the black woman’s face, he looked at the smiling Kevin Tesuha for the first time. pull.
After receiving his eyes, Shidaihua eo shook his head slightly, saying that he didn’t do anything.
With a trace (this chapter is not over!)

Smiling Shirley Lansing, silent Kevin Tesuhara, and nervously staring at Wayne Cameron Diaz, all of them did not speak, as if they were waiting for his response .
“Ha, these are just little things, Whoopi, you don’t have to blame yourself, it’s just your job.”
After about three or four seconds, Wayne suddenly put on a smile and waved his hand seemingly casually. “Yes, that’s just your job, you know, Cammy was never a stingy woman.”
“Thank you, Mr. Greenberg.”
Cameron Diaz, who accepted the apology throughout, didn’t say a word. But obviously, Whoopi Goldenberg didn’t need her to say anything. After getting the result she wanted, she consciously retreated to Shirley Lansing’s side.
“Okay, let’s be here tonight.”
Ten minutes later, Samo Redstone got up, raised his hand and patted Wayne’s arm. “Wayne, make an appointment, let’s play together.”
Wayne got up at the same time, shook hands with the other party politely again, and agreed. “You know, I’ve been busy like a top all year this year. I’ll ask you out when I have time, Mr. Redstone.”
“I have a suggestion for you.”
Before leaving, Samo Redstone thought for a moment, but still said: “With your current wealth and achievements, you can actually go behind the scenes earlier. Think about it, Hollywood has never been short of talented directors, but if you can do it like this You usually rise quickly, the last one was George Lucas.”
“I will seriously consider it.”
Summer Redstone and the others left, but Wayne frowned slightly.
This is not the first media tycoon. It is the first time that he has given similar advice to him. The last one to make such a suggestion was News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch.
Obviously, in the eyes of these old-school capital bosses, there is a trace of doubt in the way they look at themselves. Because in their philosophy, when they can completely withdraw from publicity and become part of capital, there should be no room for hesitation at all.
“Time Warner will have an in-depth cooperation with Viacom in the near future…”
Glancing at the women around Wayne, Kevin Tesuhara thought for a while, but still didn’t signal them to leave, and said directly to Wayne: “To be precise, we have already joined forces once. Before Oscar, Time Warner and Viacom have joined forces to acquire Comedy Central, each controlling 50 percent of the equity.”
“So what about this time?”
Shaking his head and throwing the messy thoughts aside, Wayne asked curiously, “Since the tentative cooperation has already been done, this time your goals must be even bigger. Tell me, this time you will focus on Who’s on?”
Don’t look at what Kevin Tesuhara said is very simple. On the surface, two media giants bought a TV station together. But in this golden age of media, no TV station with high ratings is willing to sell itself.
Just like Time Warner and Viacom, the Comedy TV Center that they acquired together some time ago, various means must be indispensable. Even without understanding the complex process, Wayne can imagine it.
When faced with the squeeze from the world’s No. 1 and No. 3 media groups in the world, the remaining choice of the Comedy TV Center can only be reluctant to sell itself.
“cbs broadcaster!”
In a calm tone, the name Kevin Tesuhara said was not as simple as his tone at all.
“It turns out that this is the case, no wonder Samo Redstone will personally come forward…”
The moment he heard the answer, Wayne nodded thoughtfully. He still remembers that the media tycoon, Summer Redstone, is no less famous on the Internet than the Oriental son-in-law of News Corporation.
And a label always carried on the other party is the executive chairman of cbs. Until he was diagnosed with mental illness in his 90s, this title was never taken off. After all, in the media industry that is good at controlling public opinion, the cbs cable television network has always been of great value.
The two of them acted very calmly, as if they were chatting casually. But the eyes of the women standing beside Wayne were full of surprise when they heard Time Warner’s next move.
(This chapter is not over!)

cbs broadcaster, can be completely different from the previously mentioned comedy tv center, because it appears in people’s lives.
It is not only a TV network, but also has a more influential radio network. Perhaps the name of the cbs TV network will make many people feel unfamiliar, but when it comes to its name before selling, it will definitely make countless people feel familiar: Colombia broadcaster.
Even if you don’t mention its broadcast network throughout North America, its TV network alone ranks third in the world. And in the first and second place, the American Broadcasting Corporation and the Brazilian Global Television Network! It can be seen that the size of cbs is huge.
To make a simple comparison, we all know that there are a large number of TV stations under Time Warner, such as the high-rating Huangbao station “hbo” in people’s eyes, “cnn”, which broadcasts global news 24 hours a day, and even the entire Turner. The TV network is not as large as cbs when added together!
“Sure enough, it’s a big move…”
Leaving the “Vanity Fair” party, even though Cameron Diaz and Cate Blanchett got into Wayne’s car together, Wayne didn’t have any scruples, even though he was photographed by media reporters. .
He knew very well that, if there were no accidents, the cbs broadcaster should have been acquired by Viacom itself, but now, it has just been involved in Time Warner. And what made him fall into a brainstorm, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is such a change, whether it was caused by himself, and whether there will be more in the future.
Time Warner was without a doubt the number one media company in the world before its merger with America Online, that is, before it went into complete decline. Of course, this title has been put on Walt Disney for many years.
But this also shows how beautiful Time Warner was from the 1990s to the turn of the century. From Wayne’s current point of view, if Time Warner and Viacom really cooperate to acquire CBS Broadcasting Company, then there is no doubt that an extremely bloated media giant is destined to appear.
Looking at the dazzling night view of Beverly, Wayne muttered with a wry smile: “This is so special, it’s not that News Corp has not yet ushered in a forced separation, Time Warner should be demolished first…”
