Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

Chapter 208



Chapter 208

The breakup of celebrity couples always makes the headlines of the major gossip media, especially Justin and Britney Spears, a celebrity couple who are both golden girls and childhood sweethearts, suddenly announced their breakup and immediately became the target of entertainment reporters and paparazzi.At this time, Britney's career was on the rise. The third series "Britney" not only ranked high on the singles chart, but also was quite popular in the album sales chart, especially when Britney held her solo show this year. ’s first global tour concert, the momentum was only lost to the farewell concert of Xue Er, a senior in the music industry.

Compared with Britney's vague reputation as "American Diva", Justin's career in the music scene has not been smooth for many years, and he had to enter "Saturday Live Show" to become a comedian.The disparity in status will naturally cause problems in the relationship between the two, but Jed thinks that Justin should still be a little graceful.If there is really evidence of Britney's cheating, then it would be nice to break the news generously to the media.But it was all groundless, and in the end he had to mock him in his mv, which made Jed feel that Justin's sense of humor seemed a little too much.

"Contact the company's legal team, send a lawyer's letter to Justin and his record company, and at the same time apply to the court for a temporary injunction to prohibit "Cryariver" from being broadcast on any TV station in the United States." Jed instructed Geffen.

"Mr. Sherman, have you contracted a brain disease in the UK? The great First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects the 'freedom of speech' of Justin, a bastard, and the privacy of public figures has never been protected by ordinary people. So strict." David Geffen growled on the phone, "Don't say that Justin's bastard used a female artist similar to Britney, even if he really used technical means to get Britney into the camera, as long as he can prove it It's satire, he's not guilty!"

Jed hated the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution so much at this time, but he was still a supporter of the First Amendment.Britney's unlucky case reminded him of the case between Facebook founder Zuckerberg and "The Social Network" screenwriter Aaron Sorkin. As a result, Aaron Sorkin also got away with the "First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution" , but in the American drama "Legal Women", lawyers have provided another set of solutions.

Jed recalled the plot of the American TV series, and then told Geffen: "You call a lawyer in right now to see if my plan is feasible." Taking advantage of Geffen's time to call the lawyer, Jed quickly wrote down his plan. After the lawyer arrived, Jed said on a piece of paper, "First of all, we have to prove that the actress in the MV did intentionally allude to Britney, and prove that Britney's album sales and concert box office are therefore Find a few more third-party survey companies to investigate the perception of ordinary people on the mv. Secondly, we must make a fuss in two aspects, one is to prove that Justin is 'slandering'; or use Britney's portrait The right to promote their own album. Although the First Amendment to the US Constitution protects the freedom of speech of American citizens, if the speech is fictitious and maliciously attacks others, and if the speech is not made in court or Congress, then the crime of defamation can be established Yes. In addition, profiting from portrait rights is a commercial tort. We should try our best to prevent the other party’s lawyer from bringing this case into the category of “freedom of speech”. Our point of view is that this case is to use Britney to endorse Justin’s album sales. , is a purely commercial tort.”

After the lawyer finished listening to Jed's narration, he said excitedly in the microphone: "Mr. Sherman is really an extremely wise lawyer. Your prosecution method will become a classic case for similar cases in the entertainment circle." The lawyer's It's not unreasonable to be excited. If I can participate in the litigation of a case, then my status in the legal world can be transformed from an unknown to a master lawyer.With Jed's instructions, the lawyer expressed his absolute confidence in winning the lawsuit.

After dealing with the Britney case, Jed said to Geffen: "That girl Britney must be very upset, I guess she will record a song to rebut Justin. If she really wrote this song, Immediately you put your best team on producing the single, and then you put your best PR team on promoting it. Most importantly, we announced that all profits from this single will go to 'Girls of Love' Home' to help American girls who suffer from domestic or romantic violence."

Geffen hadn't figured out why his boss guessed that Spears had actually written a hit-back song, and that his boss was going to promote the single with a lot of fanfare.But when he heard that Jed was going to donate all the profits from this single to "Girl's Home", he knew that Jed was going to trample Justin to death at once.Regardless of who is right and who is wrong in the relationship between the two, the performance after the breakup is judgment.On the one hand, he is insinuating that his ex-girlfriend cheated but there is no evidence to hype his own album, and on the other hand, he is making a show of justifying himself and using this album to help more girls.As long as Britney announces this news, I'm afraid that girls all over America will become enemies with Justin.And with the support of the All-American Girls, their boyfriends would shut up if they were smart enough to say anything nice about Justin.

Of course, Jed knew that Justin brought Britney back to shore in the most difficult time, but Jed believed that it was Justin who kicked Britney into the mud.Of course, but Justin is still an ignorant teenager who doesn't know much about the world. The "cryariver" may be the handiwork of his friend Justin's management team and record company.But who let Britney belong to his own record company?Since Justin was thrown out as cannon fodder, don't blame Jed for turning this cannon fodder into fertilizer.Jed wants to let people know that everyone knows the unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, but don't blame yourself for being cruel if you play too much.

After losing Britney's emotional injury incident, Jed continued to squat on the crew to film "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".With the cooperation of the first film, the cooperation between the three young actors became more and more tacit, which made the shooting progress a lot faster.With Harry Potter being affirmed by Harry Potter in his first filming, Jed added more special effects in the second filming, making the wizarding world and Hogwarts look more extraordinary .Of course, it was the actors who worked hard. Almost all the wizards were required by Jed to experience a coercion.The young actors were in high spirits, but the supporting roles couldn't resist.They are not only British actors, but also young British national treasure actors.Therefore, Jed had to invest more and hire some stuntmen.Moreover, the release method of magic was modified by Jed in the second part to become more realistic, and it is no longer using the wand as a long sword to fight or a short gun to play CS in the wild.The combination of magic singing and magic elements is more and more beautiful in the movie, and the extensive reference of cg technology makes the movie almost comparable to the later game cg.Jed even thought very narrowly, simply add a pair of wings to all wizards, isn't that the basic setting of the stick magic game?

In the summer of June, Galaxy Film Group's first real summer movie - "The Bourne" was officially released. This is John Woo's second director of "The Bourne" after he directed "Mission: Impossible".Whether it's "Mission: Impossible" or "The Bourne Shadow", the spy movies in John Woo's lens are never like oo7's cannonballs flying, and then all the beautiful cars and beauties appear on the stage.In John Woo's spy movies, the plot requirements are very strict, and all plots must be logical.Then the martial arts is only a foil for the spy scenes. The spies in John Woo's lens seem to be geniuses, and just an inadvertent touch on the computer or in other situations will result in a victory or defeat.

"Galaxy Pictures has contributed another classic spy image to world film history!" The Los Angeles Times commented, "When we heard that Galaxy Pictures sold the copyright of "Mission: Impossible" to Tom Cruise's company, We thought a classic spy was gone. We are not saying that Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible" is not good enough, but we always feel that something is missing. When we see "Bourne", we know we What is missing from the spy movie! Strictly speaking, "Bourne" is an 'anti-spy' movie. Because Bourne becomes a spy without identity and memory in the movie, then he is nothing like ordinary people What's the difference? But the relevant people came to him, and in the process of running for his life, his memory was awakening... In fact, the theme of this movie is very simple, that is 'Who am I?'”

Although it has unanimous praise from film critics, "The Bourne Movie" seems to have fallen into the embarrassing situation of "acclaimed but not popular".In the first week of its release, it only won the runner-up throne with a box office of 27 million US dollars.The title went to Warner Bros.' Scooby-Doo, which grossed twice as much as The Bourne.In the second week, with the release of "Minority Report" and "Lilo and Stranger", the weekend box office of "The Bourne Shadow" was ranked No.4.

The current Sherman Entertainment Group is composed of six major parts: Galaxy Pictures Group, Warner Dongfeng Broadcasting Group, Asia Broadcasting Group, Media Asia Entertainment Group, Dongfeng Entertainment Group and Pacific Music Group. There was a problem with running-in, and Galaxy Pictures failed to achieve a large-scale profit at the box office for two consecutive films, which also led to Galaxy Pictures' films in the second half of the year taking on more profit-making tasks.Fortunately, Galaxy Film Group is not listed, otherwise, why don't you fall into the censure of the board of directors?

Perhaps infected with the bad luck of "The Bourne", the sequel film "Men in Black 2" directed by Michael Bay also failed in the summer. "Men in Black 2" was not only rated as "a dog-tailed sable" by film critics, but also officially announced that the film did not have a breakeven with a domestic box office of only 19 million US dollars.Fortunately, Jed knows that the overseas box office of this movie is not bad, especially the DVD market and the TV network market are quite popular, and it can basically be profitable.However, with the box office failures of the three films "White Night", "The Bourne", and "Men in Black 2", countless analysts began to analyze the "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and "Lord of the Rings 2: Two" at the end of the year. Can Tower Raiders save the Galaxy Film Group?Seeing that some mainstream film and television industry newspapers have bad-mouthed the Galaxy Film Group, and believed that the Galaxy Film Group’s previous profits were supported by TV drama revenue, Jed couldn’t help but feel a headache.
