Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 343 Rupert Murdoch
Oak River Community Villas, Houston.

In the bedroom, Aaron leaned against the bed, pondering Bush's words: "Participating in the formation of the FNC is definitely a good thing!"
Currently, apart from the four major wireless broadcasting networks that have their own news channels, CNN, the cable news channel under TBS, is the most impressive, especially since CNN was the first cable television station to broadcast news 24 hours a day.
In terms of viewership and domestic and international influence, CNN is undoubtedly the king!
FOX's creation of the FNC cable news channel is also aimed at competing with CNN, since FOX is the worst-ranked of the four major wireless broadcasting networks.
Furthermore, NBC appears to be collaborating with Microsoft to create its own cable news channel, MSNBC News.

Earlier this year, UPN (United Paramount Television Network), created by Paramount, and WB (Warner Bros. Television Network), created by Warner Bros., both launched their services!

UPN and WB are both new types of television networks, so it will definitely be difficult for them to develop. Aaron, however, is not worried about them.

Paramount's parent company, Viacom, owns several cable television channels, and Warner Bros.' parent company, Time Warner, owns the network operator Time Cable!
"Aaron, what are you thinking about?"

Jennifer Connelly walked over wearing a semi-transparent, sexy silk camisole nightgown, her hot figure partially revealed.

"Oh, nothing, I just missed you!"

Aaron smiled, stretched out his arm, and Jennifer Connelly immediately leaned into his arms and kissed the man's lips.

"Game 5 between the Rockets and the Jazz is the final decisive game. Should we go to Salt Lake City again?"

After the kiss ended, Jennifer Connelly nestled in the man's arms and asked him a question.

Aaron shook his head and reached out to touch the woman's 34D breasts. "I'm not going. We have more important things to do. We're going to New York."

Participating in the establishment of FNC News Channel is a great opportunity for Dawn to enter the cable news television industry, and it is definitely not something they can miss.
Dawn currently owns AMC cable television and half of the USA cable television network, both of which are basic entertainment cable television networks, just like FOX launched the FX entertainment cable television channel this year!
News, sports, and family channels are either part of the services offered by the four major wireless broadcasting networks or are exclusive cable channels.
Just like CNN, owned by TBS, is a news cable channel, TNT is a sports cable channel, and Cartoon Network is a family and children's channel.

“Yeah, to New York,” Jennifer Connelly said casually, reaching out to stroke little Aaron.

"It's currently summer movie season, and Dawn's 'The Silence of the Lambs: Red Dragon' recently opened, grossing $2600 million and receiving positive reviews."

"At the end of the month, Universal's 'Casper' will be released. It's a fantasy film produced by Spielberg, so the box office should not be bad."

Previously released "Bad Boys" also broke the $6000 million mark at the North American box office, while Pixar's animated feature "Toy Story" even broke the $1.2 million mark at the North American box office;
Dawn continues its strong performance!
“Hmm, come on up,” Aaron said, taking off the woman’s nightgown and caressing her sexy, voluptuous body.

"Didn't you say that Sony cast you as the female lead in their movie 'The Hitman' and that you'd be working with Jim Carrey?"

After all, this was the first time a Hollywood actor had received a $2000 million salary for a film, and Jim Carrey made history.

Now, superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mel Gibson are demanding that their salaries be aligned with this!

"Uh, yes, I previously worked with director Ben Stiller on his directorial debut, *Realistic Trauma*, and *The Hitman* is a second collaboration for me."

"Moreover, filming for 'The Ace Correspondent' will begin very soon!"

As Jennifer Connelly spoke, she leaned down and kissed Aaron beneath her. "The Pain of Reality" is a teen film produced and starring Winona Ryder a few years ago, with Jennifer Connelly playing a supporting role!

"The Hitman" can be considered Ben Stiller's ambitious work, starring Jim Carrey and Jennifer Connelly, with a production budget of approximately $5000 million.

Aaron hugged the woman tightly. "So you're going back to Los Angeles, right?"

Jennifer Connelly gasped, "Well, we could go to New York first..."

With the Rockets' final game of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs held in Salt Lake City, the Rockets defeated the Jazz 95-91 on the road, advancing to the second round;
The Rockets' opponent in the Western Conference semifinals is also an old rival, the Phoenix Suns, who defeated the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round!
However, Aaron had already arrived in New York, while Jennifer Connelly had returned to Los Angeles.

At the same time, Westinghouse Electric spent $54 billion in cash to acquire CBS Radio Network!
Disney's acquisition of Metropolitan/ABC is still ongoing.

In Times Square, Manhattan, at the Walter Cole Theater on Broadway, a performance of the musical "Sunset Boulevard" is underway.
The lead role is played by veteran Hollywood actress Glenn Close, who just won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical this year for her role in Sunset Boulevard!

Aaron and Rupert Murdoch, the 64-year-old chairman and CEO of News Corp., enjoyed the musical together.

"Aaron, it seems you're really interested in television?"

Rupert Murdoch smiled. "Dawn only recently acquired MCA Group and is currently undergoing restructuring and integration."

"Aren't you worried that Dawn might run into problems?"

Aaron let out a sigh of relief. "The Houston Post, which Dawn currently owns, and the two television stations in the Greater Houston area can be used as leverage for Dawn's participation in FNC News Channel!"

FOX launched FNC cable news channel because it is backed by News Corporation and has a lot of content to deliver.
As for Dawn, the only valuable assets it can offer Fox are The Houston Post and two local television stations in the greater Houston area.

This is also a key bargaining chip for Dawn to participate in FNC's cable news channel!
"Two television stations in the Houston area could join the FOX camp and become affiliates of the FOX wireless broadcasting network;"

"The Houston Post can also provide content support along with the New York Post, the Chicago Sun-Times, and others."

Rupert Murdoch looked at Aaron. "How much of FNC News does Dawn want?"

Without hesitation, Aaron replied, "With at least 30% of the shares, Fox Entertainment will definitely control FNC."

"Dawn will offer a stake in The Houston Post Group plus cash!"

Rupert Murdoch nodded. "Perhaps we can have our subordinates discuss the details..."
