The release of "Eavesdropping" is just one of many things. There are many others. Regarding the filming of "Rachel's Wedding" - even if Sean can't go to the set, it's okay to pay attention. Roughly

It is estimated that if everything goes well, he will probably close the filming together with "Milk". And "Ocean's Thirteen" has been confirmed to be exhibited in Cannes, and he will definitely participate by then. Of course, the more important thing is to find time to participate in the final post-production, "The Outlaws"

The same is true for "Death".

Facebook and YouTube have to take a look at the situation. Even though they are still the same, the former continues to add users and is estimated to be worth at least 1 billion. Sean's wealth has grown, albeit on paper. The latter

Negotiations with several major media groups are still ongoing, but the situation is becoming more and more favorable to Sean and the others, especially after seeing several second-tier production companies, such as Lions Gate, whose profits have increased significantly after cooperating with YouTube on online on-demand services.

, they have accelerated their actions in unison and believe that an agreement will be reached by the middle of the year at the latest.

However, Sean's original idea of ​​using equity exchange to have deeper ties with several major media groups was once again rejected by Neil.

"Although YouTube is developing rapidly and is considered unique among new online media, it is still too weak compared to several major media groups." Neil said, "If this momentum is maintained for another five or six years,

When YouTube completely becomes the Google of video websites, we may be able to persuade them, but not now. And with YouTube’s current value, even if we exchange equity, we won’t get much, and we will be affected by them. It’s not as good as

Sell ​​50% of the shares and let them divide it themselves, and they can cash out at the same time."

This is Neil's final plan, to give 50% of the shares to several major media groups to divide them among themselves. No matter what the final result is, control is still in Sean's hands.

"But you have to understand, Neil, I need to have a close connection with them so that I can gain a more transcendent status in Hollywood." Sean said this.

"Tell me, Sean, what kind of alliance is the most stable." Neil asked immediately.

"You want to talk about benefits?" Sean responded quickly.

"To be precise, it's an alliance of interests," Neil explained. "Why do several major media groups patiently negotiate with us? Because they all know that this is a new media and this is the future! What's more, we are now

We have already made achievements to show them, so if they want to seize the future, they must unite with us!"

"But..." Sean still wanted to defend himself.

"I know what you are thinking, Sean, and I don't think it is wrong, but there are several ways to achieve it, and we should choose the most effective one." Neil continued quickly, "Think about it,

With the support of their funds and programs, YouTube continues to develop into a huge new media empire, with audiences all over the world and influence across the United States. This influence will be transformed into billions of profits every year.

, you will be the representative of this huge community of interests. Isn’t this right to speak stronger than buying a few shares in one or two media groups?”

Sean spread his hands and said nothing, so Neil continued again: "I just said that not all media groups are willing to exchange equity, so in the future cooperation time, the media group that owns the equity hopes that you can be in the business

If you favor them, what should you do? If you don't agree, they will exclude you from their group. If you agree, they will push you further. And if this kind of apparent unfairness increases, other

What will the media groups that have not exchanged equity think? Once they ditch us and join forces to support another video website, there must be a lot of them by then, and what are we going to do with them?"

After saying a lot of words, he took a deep breath: "This plan is currently the best. Once we win them over, at least in the next ten years, we will become the number one video website, and we won't be listed anyway.

, you don’t have to worry about losing control. As for ten years from now, no one can think that far ahead, and even if they do, the plans may not be realized, right?”

Sean had nothing to say, which is why his ideas were denied by Neil again and again, which was very annoying at the same time, but he still had to listen to him in the end. Since everything has been changed beyond recognition, since everything has

You’ve already made a bet, so just keep on betting. Anyway, you’re still winning so far.

Interestingly, Google gave up in this competition. What they wanted most was to acquire YouTube. Unfortunately, Sean refused to sell it. After several failed negotiations, Google simply gave up. They even said that if YouTube could not

If they manage it well, it is possible for them to be short-lived. Unfortunately, I don’t know if they will still be like this in two years. If they regret it by then, Sean will not mind giving them some benefits. Anyway, even now,

You can't tell, but Sean is certain that the future still belongs to Google, and the 1.6 billion premium acquisition offer they gave last year is more valuable than Facebook now, which gives YouTube a lot of leverage when negotiating with the media group.

Advantage.

As for Yahoo, after Google gave up, they also gave up. They also wanted acquisitions rather than shares, and they couldn't offer as much as Google. After the new millennium, Yahoo, which was hit by the IT bubble, finally controlled the situation.

, but in the face of competition from Google, performance continued to decline, and even Sean refused to sell Google, let alone them.

In addition to this, there is another interesting thing. Lions Pictures, which has never had any contact with each other, actually gave Samsara Pictures a merger and acquisition plan, hoping that the two production companies can merge. Although there are many movies that should belong to them, because of Sean

The most typical example of being snatched away is the "Saw" series, but Lionsgate still developed by relying on financing methods, but it was just not as big as in its previous life.

It is precisely because of this that they want to acquire Samsara Pictures. Among independent production companies that are currently making good profits and have good development prospects, Legend and Samsara are the only ones worthy of their acquisition. Others, although Weinstein Pictures

It was founded by the famous Weinstein brothers, but it has only been around for more than a year. The future may be bright, maybe... who knows? As for the others, their scale is not that great.

And with Legend relying on Wall Street, they definitely have no hope, so they can only try to win Samsara.

Despite this, the people at Lions Gate are not clear-headed at the moment. Although they were polite when contacting them, the plan they handed over contained several traps, and they obviously put themselves in the leading position. So Sean was still a little interested at first.

But after being singled out by the legal team, they disappeared and asked Vladimir to send them away.

However, there are people among the shareholders who are interested, and they have raised it at the meeting. However, Sean still has control over reincarnation, and Vladimir has always been on his side, so he has spent some words.

"I understand your feelings, who doesn't want to make money? But are you really so sure that this transaction will bring you huge profits? Or let's make a bet, wait two or three years, and then see what happens between us and

Lions Gate, who develops better and who taps more potential, how about that?" Sean said this at the board of directors meeting.

He is very confident. Although he has given several promising movies to Tang Films, he has also attracted many people to Samsara, such as the Apatow Party. What's more, he also got a contract for a TV series at the end of last year.

The production rights, the production rights of a TV series called "The Big Bang Theory", and the cooperation with Marvel, so as long as it continues, Samsara will definitely leave Lionsgate behind in two or three years.

Even if the ship accidentally capsized due to the butterfly effect or something, it would still be okay to merge with Lionsgate at that time.

In short, that's it, he was focusing on other things while working hard to play the role of Milk.

"Let me ask you something, Mr. Agono. This happened on Castro Street. Robert Hillsborough was murdered when he was returning home with his lover. He was stabbed 15 times. He ended up

What I heard was, stinky glass, stinky glass, stinky glass. Since you say you are indignant about this, will your enlightened institution be unwilling to respond to our request for help?" In the hall, the two people debating in front were

, the one on the left pointed to the one on the right and said word by word, "Why don't they bring the murderer to justice?!"

His voice is not loud, but every word he speaks is very powerful. Coupled with his gestures, especially after he finishes speaking, he leans on the podium and holds his chin with his hands, looking at the other person waiting for a response, giving people the impression that he is the right one.

The feeling was so great that the applause immediately started.

"It should be beautiful, Sean." After this paragraph ended, Sant patted Sean on the shoulder and said, "So far, among the political scenes, this paragraph and the previous paragraph when opposing the successful nomination of No. 6 are the best.

.”

"Thank you, I'm glad to hear you say that, Gus." Sean breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the basic responsibility of an actor, isn't it?"

In fact, it's all very simple... Well, to be precise, it shouldn't be complicated. This section is about Milk changing his image and running for election again. It's nothing more than Don Quixote attacking the windmill. He has been defeated and defeated again and again.

Perseverance. As for the opposition to Proposition 6, which is the proposal to abolish gay rights, there is also a lot to learn from the feeling of being ecstatic and excited, but having to control yourself and not burst out.

In fact, he handles all plots about politics very well. This is a biography, this is an inspirational movie, this is a work showing homosexuality. Even if there are many things related to politics, they are not too big.

What a dark side.

So Sean once joked: "I think after this movie is completed, I can run for president."

"However, your good luck is coming to an end, Sean, get ready." Sante said again at this time, and smiled meaningfully.
Chapter completed!
