"Isn't it a bit exaggerated to free all the software of Wang An's computer? I think it would be better to return to the original charging standard?"

Wu Jianye had already returned to Los Angeles from Las Vegas with Zhou Tao, and when he heard that Wu Jianye wanted to make all the previous software on Wang An's computer free, he couldn't help asking.

Wu Jianye smiled indifferently, and said: "The management of Wang An Computer did too much harm to customers before, and a heavy hammer was needed to break the drum. Now Tunan Technology has acquired Wang An Computer, and what it wants is to rebuild the A relationship of mutual trust, how do you think this relationship is established, naturally it will be piled up with money!"

"Don't worry, with the rapid development of technology, the previous software of Wang An's computer will be updated sooner or later, and Gaia Technology will not release new software in the future."

After a series of reorganizations, Tunan Technology separated the core scientific research department of Gaia Technology and was wholly acquired by Tunan Technology. At this time, Wang An Computer had only a shell left, and Tunan Technology wanted to What we do is to add a shell of Gaia Technology when our products enter the North American market, and as time goes by, it will subtly influence North American consumers!
Zhou Tao nodded and said, "Okay."

With the end of the reorganization, Wang An Computer officially changed its name to Gaia Technology and re-listed.

Although the core scientific research department of Wangan Computer has been acquired by Tunan Technology, as Tunan Technology becomes the largest shareholder of Gaia Computer, and Gaia Computer will acquire the product line of Tunan Technology, it will launch its own in North America. Stimulated by good news such as new products of Gaia Technology, the stock price rebounded immediately after Gaia Technology resumed listing.

At the beginning, the share price of Wang An Computer was 95 cents per share, but now it has risen to 2.3 US dollars per share, and it is still rising.

This shows how good news it is for Tunan Technology to invest in Gaia Technology.

Many investment institutions are also optimistic about this news. The investment institutions that had planned to sell their shares in Gaia Technology also withdrew their decision and decided to observe the development of Gaia Technology.

At the same time, Chen Haichao, as the representative of Tunan Technology in Gaia Technology, held a board meeting, and proposed to hire Wayne Ellington, a well-known management expert in North America, as the CEO of Gaia Technology. controlling stake, so this proposal is just a simple process.

Then Wayne Ellington also delivered his inaugural speech, and Gaia Technology officially left the era of Wang An Computer and entered a new era!

The time is coming to June soon!

At this time, the smell of war can already be smelled in Hollywood.

"Jurassic Park" and "Captain Hook" have become the hottest topics in Hollywood recently.

Wu Jianye, a cutting-edge director VS Spielberg, a Hollywood-level director!
Dinosaur VS Spielberg + Lucas + Robin Williams + Dustin Hoffman + "Peter Pan" such a fantastic combination.

Phantom Media's most important movie this year!

These are the focus of media attention. Everyone knows that this is a direct confrontation between Wu Jianye and Spielberg, and the grievances between the two have been entangled for several years. This time can be regarded as the final decisive battle!

It can be seen from the degree of publicity of the two movies that they are serious about it!
The trailer for "Jurassic Park" just landed on the ABC network, and the "Captain Hook" side immediately boarded CBS and NBC.

Posters for "Jurassic Park" occupied the subway station, and posters for "Captain Hook" immediately hung up.

It can be said that the two parties have exhausted their best efforts to promote the two films.

"Jurassic Park" announced that it will be screened on 4500 big screens this year, and "Captain Hook" immediately announced that their number of big screens has reached 4600!
It can be said that the number of large screens of the two films accounts for more than half of the screens in mainstream North American cinemas.

No one doubts that these two movies will become the two most popular movies in this summer's file, but who will win and who will lose has raised a big question mark in everyone's mind.

The success or failure of the two films not only marks a change in the pattern of Hollywood's top film directors, but also marks whether the Phantom can continue its glory after reorganizing into a media group. If "Jurassic Park" succeeds, then It marked that Phantom was promoted to an unshakable media group!

This year's Hollywood summer file, although only two films participated, but its intensity and importance are more important than previous summer files.

Everyone is waiting for the arrival of the summer file!

But before that, Phantom Media broke big news again!

"After several months of arduous negotiations, Phantom Media has finally reached a cooperation agreement with Viacom. Phantom Media will acquire HBO from Viacom for $30 billion!"

"After being acquired by Phantom Media, HBO has also reached a cooperation with Phantom Pictures, and will obtain the exclusive rights to broadcast Phantom Pictures' films by paying cash!"

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused quite a stir. No one thought that the two major media groups, Phantom Media and Viacom, would suddenly break out such important news.

At this time, the market value of HBO is not as high as that of later generations, and its development positioning has not found its own direction. In the hands of Viacom, although it is a bit weak, it is also one of the most famous premium channels in the United States.

Now Viacom has sold HBO to its rival!

But after thinking about it, everyone understands that HBO's current market value is at most around 25 billion, but Phantom Media has paid 30 billion US dollars to acquire HBO. To be honest, it was paid for with money!

However, this acquisition was not favored by the North American media. In their view, Viacom used 30 billion US dollars to deal with HBO, which was relatively weak to their media group, which not only reduced the group’s burden. , but also increased the burden on their opponents.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

What's more, Viacom still has the trump card of MTV in its hands, and obviously doesn't pay too much attention to HBO.

The Phantom's acquisition of HBO is nothing more than filling the vacancy in its paid channel, but is such a transaction really necessary?

Later, "Hollywood Reporter" graded this transaction separately, Viacom's was A, and Phantom was only C!

After acquiring HBO, Phantom immediately announced that it would cancel some unnecessary brands of HBO, such as Comedy Channel, and at the same time stop the Comedy Network that was under construction, and only keep the two brands of HBO and HBO Comedy!

At the same time, HBO also announced that from now on, HBO will change its development strategy, exclusively for self-produced dramas, and at the same time only produce high-quality TV, and use the method of shooting movies to shoot TV dramas!

After this news came out, it once again caused a lot of noise in the media. Shooting TV dramas in the same way as filming movies means increasing investment in TV dramas. Such a decision once again made everyone no longer optimistic about the development prospects of HBO!
But soon, HBO broke the news again, that is, they have already obtained the TV series "The Sopranos" written by Wu Jianye!
This TV series was produced in another time and space in 1999, and there is a big gap with the current one, but Wu Jianye has already passed the stage of pure copywriting at this time, and he made some fine-tuning of the content of the story to be more in line with background of this era.

This news did not bring more trust to those media who are pessimistic about the future development of HBO. They do not believe that a one-hour episode can keep the audience sitting in front of the TV to watch.

In fact, after the news came out, no one liked this TV series, which is not at all the same as the current mainstream TV series in North America.

People's acceptance of new things is always so slow and full of doubts!
The Sopranos is no exception!
It is in this voice of doubt that the highlight of the ABC TV network this year, "Friends", is officially launched!
6 Month 3 Day!
An ordinary day, but after today passes, today will definitely be remembered by the TV industry in North America, because ABC's "Friends" will start broadcasting today!
Aniston is sitting on the sofa in her apartment at this time, waiting for her first starring TV series to start broadcasting, and her agent Howard is sitting on the other side of her!
After Howard brought his artist to Hera's agency, he was still in charge of Aniston's business.

At this time, neither of the two could talk about comforting the other, and they both seemed very nervous. Aniston was nervous because this was the first TV series he starred in.

Compared with Aniston's nervousness, Howard should be more calm first, but only relative to Aniston.

At this time, the biggest artist in Howard's hands is naturally Keanu Reeves, but who would dislike the fact that he has many stars under his hands.

The more stars he has, the more he earns.

Soon Friends will begin!

When Rachel appeared in the bar wearing a wedding dress, even though Aniston was a participant in the previous plot, she laughed out loud at this time.

After that, in Aniston's apartment, the laughter of geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese would be heard from time to time.

This kind of laughter has been accompanied by the end of the first episode.

Howard was also watching with great interest. When he saw the end of the first episode, he suddenly said, "It's over so soon? When will the second episode start?"

After finishing speaking, a surprised smile suddenly appeared on Howard's face.

When the TV series just started, he still analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this TV series as a professional practitioner, but when he found that he didn't know when he started, he forgot this identity, but purely based on When watching this TV series as a viewer, he knew one thing.

"Jennifer, this TV series is going to be popular!"

This is what Howard subconsciously thought of. A TV series that can make people forget about time and devote themselves to it, isn't it the rhythm of a TV series?

Especially for a professional like him, he can also be attracted by the plot of the TV series, which already speaks volumes for the problem!

Aniston: "Really?"

Howard nodded and said, "I have this hunch!"

After finishing speaking, Howard suddenly thought of something, and said, "Do you want to call Director Wu immediately?"

Aniston showed a complex expression on his face, and said: "I think it's better to forget it. Director Wu's wife Zhu Yan has arrived in Los Angeles and is preparing to promote "Jurassic Park" nationwide. At this time, let him It's not appropriate to call!"

In fact, even during the filming of "Friends", the relationship between Wu Jianye and Aniston was maintained, but as "Jurassic Park" is about to be released, its promotional activities will also start, and Zhu Zhuo also When he came to Los Angeles again, Wu Jianye also terminated his relationship with Aniston.

It's as firm as the termination of the relationship with Isabel Adjani and Sandra Bullock.

Howard didn't think too much about this kind of thing, and said: "In the future, I must contact Director Wu more often. At this time, I really believe that there is a genius in this world."

"I didn't expect the TV series written by Director Wu to be so exciting."

"By the way, didn't Director Wu just write a script for a TV series for HBO? If you have a chance, you can ask Director Wu if he can arrange a role for you in it!" Howard remembered the unpopular "The Underworld" family".

Aniston shook his head and said: "I asked Director Wu about this TV series, and I probably have no chance. The style of that TV series is not suitable for me. If I star in that TV series, I will appear with the role of Rachel Contrasting!"

Howard shook his head regretfully.

But at this time, a very cola advertisement has already started to play on TV!
After several months of operation, Coca-Cola has signed endorsement contracts with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. At the same time, the six-member group of "Friends" also signed the endorsement contract. Now it is the six-person group. Group Ads!
The style of the entire advertisement continues the style of "Friends". The creativity of the entire advertisement was researched by Wu Jianye himself, and he did not copy any advertisements from later generations.

It is mainly light and funny, but it is precisely because of the broadcast of the first episode of "Friends" that this kind of advertisement is more intimate!
Although there is no way to compare with Xiangjiang's advertisement in terms of sensation, it can leave a deep impression on the audience of "Friends".

Especially when the second episode of "Friends" was broadcast, when Rachel competed with other people for a very happy scene, it attracted many audiences to smile knowingly.

It can be said that the success of this advertisement is based on whether the TV series "Friends" will be successful.

But based on the reaction to the first episode, this problem is no longer a problem now!

The two episodes of "Friends" every day ended soon, and many viewers in front of the TV showed unsatisfactory reactions.

On the second day, the ratings of "Friends" also came out!
