Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 611 Waiting for an opportunity

"Are you really not going out today?"

In their villa at the top of Beverly Hills Park, Aaron embraced Britney Spears as they leaned back on the sofa.

“Well, I’m fine with nothing else to do,” Britney Spears said, leaning back in her sexy, thin nightgown as she gave him a quick kiss.

“Heh,” Aaron chuckled, reaching into the woman’s pajamas to feel their softness, “After you finish your North American tour, let’s go on vacation!”

“Really?” Britney Spears looked up, her voice brimming with excitement. “I want to go on vacation to Malta, an island nation in the Mediterranean.”

“Of course,” Aaron reached out and stroked the other’s long blond hair. “That place is indeed very nice. Dawn Films even filmed Gladiator in Malta this year.”

"Malta has beautiful scenery and many historical and cultural sites. It's a great place!"

“Mmm,” Britney Spears immediately wrapped her arms around the man’s neck and kissed him.

Aaron responded passionately, pressing Britney Spears down onto the sofa, her sexy nightgown open, enjoying her innocent yet alluring body...

Burbank, the headquarters of Disney Studios.

In the ABC television building, ABC President Robert Iger looked somewhat helplessly at Disney Chairman Michael Eisner on the sofa.

"Michael Bloomberg, chairman of Bloomberg New York, called to complain about Jamie Tuthers's program not airing on ABC on time!"

Michael Eisner frowned. "I didn't expect her to go this far?"

He glanced casually at Robert Iger. "Ever since Jamie Tuthers took over ABC's programming schedule, ABC's ratings have steadily declined."

"She's been suppressing dissent, acting arrogantly and unruly. She's gone too far. Joe Roth will be leaving at the end of the year, and Dick Cook will take over to manage the Disney Studios!"

Dick Cook is the president of Buena Vista Distribution, a Disney subsidiary, and is responsible for international distribution.
Disney president Joe Ross had already decided not to renew his contract, and therefore planned to replace him with Dick Cook.

Robert Iger nodded, knowing he couldn't show favoritism towards Jamie Thurs any longer. "Understood. I'll personally inform her to leave ABC!"

And so, Jamie Tathers, the first female executive at ABC, came to the end of her time at the Disney Group.

Disney poached Jamie Tuthers from NBC with the intention of boosting ABC's ratings, but instead it exacerbated the internal strife and suppression between Disney and ABC.

Michael Eisner himself wasn't particularly interested in Jamie Tuthers; he was more focused on something else: "The merger of AOL and Time Warner was imminent."

"First, Dawn acquired CBS, then AOL merged with Time Warner, but Disney is having problems integrating ABC."

"If this issue isn't resolved soon, Disney's competitiveness will diminish!"

As he spoke, Michael Eisner stood up and patted Robert Iger on the shoulder, "Major shareholder Sid Bass is very dissatisfied with Disney as it is now, and ABC is bearing the brunt of that dissatisfaction."

“Although we are all Jewish, Disney’s interests must be protected, you know what I mean?”

Robert Iger paused for a moment, then said, "Understood. ABC News will maintain a neutral and free stance from now on."

"To restore our credibility, everything will be done in the best interests of Disney." Michael Eisner's focus has always been on Disney parks and resorts; he personally oversees Disney's consumer products market.

In recent years, Disney has become increasingly involved with Israeli and Jewish interests, which has aroused resentment among many Americans.

You have to understand that right now, the American public doesn't have a very good impression of Jews!

Without Sid Bass's support, Michael Eisner's position as Chairman and CEO of Disney would certainly be in jeopardy...

As Hollywood awards season approaches, Los Angeles is getting more and more lively, but this year it's not just about Dawn acquiring CBS Television Group;

Another issue is the merger plan between AOL and Time Warner, which has been a source of anxiety for Hollywood and the entire United States.

The political circles in Washington, D.C., the financial circles on Wall Street, the entertainment circles in Hollywood, and the technology circles in Silicon Valley are all keeping a close eye on the merger between AOL and Time Warner!
In mid-November, the Chicago Tribune announced that it would acquire a stake in the Houston Post and the Los Angeles Daily News from Dawn for $220 million in cash.

In this way, Dawn sold its only major regional newspaper and officially withdrew from the newspaper industry.

However, the CBS online news website built by Shuguang invested more money, abandoning print media and transforming into internet news!
In his office at the Fox Plaza building in Century City, Los Angeles, Rupert Murdoch and News Corporation president Peter Chernin sat facing each other.

"Ha, Aaron made a decisive move! He sold the Houston Post right away!"

Rupert Murdoch couldn't help but laugh. "It seems he really isn't very interested in running a newspaper."

Sitting opposite him, Peter Chernin pondered for a moment, then said, "Time Warner launched the Pathfinder website a few years ago, lost hundreds of millions of dollars, and shut it down this year."

"Now they are focused on merging with AOL."

"Disney also invested heavily in manpower and resources to establish the go.com website, and Dawn, in addition to establishing a website of the same name early on, also launched the CBS News website this year;"

"But Dawn's investment is clearly less than that of Time Warner and Disney, which is quite surprising given Aaron Anderson's own emphasis on the internet."

Everyone knows that Aaron Anderson's investments in AOL and Yahoo were huge successes, and Tianhai Capital's reputation in Silicon Valley is even better than Sequoia Capital's.
Aaron Anderson had no reason not to let the dawn break through the internet.

Rupert Murdoch agreed that what the other party said made sense, as the media groups were very enthusiastic about the internet at the moment!

"Aaron has invested heavily in China this year, and Shuguang's Universal Studios has also lost out to Disney in the Hong Kong movie theme park project;"

“Although Universal Studios Japan has opened, it certainly won’t shake the status of Tokyo Disneyland,” Rupert Murdoch said, tapping the table.

"Dawn only acquired CBS this year, and after six months of integration, immediately launched CBS News."

"He still values ​​the internet a lot; after all, CBS News doesn't necessarily listen to him anymore, and Dawn's cable television network and television production department are very strong."

"But the weakness is also obvious, which is news coverage. Perhaps Aaron Anderson is waiting for an opportunity!"

Peter Chernin pondered, "Hopefully this opportunity won't come so soon..."
