"Vanity Fair" cocktail party enters Gao's nest, where celebrities and handsome men and beautiful women are having a glass of glass. Senior executives and elders from major Hollywood companies politely hold champagne and talk. The actors and agents are running around, constantly distributing their business cards...

"Just just now, Harvey and Meryl Streep entered the elevator upstairs together..."

New actor Cate Blanchett took a long walk, or showed off her little golden man, with a high-ranking pride on her face. Back to Wayne, she whispered to the gossip scene she had just seen.

"Before the elevator door was closed tightly, they couldn't wait to stick together."

Similar scenes were constantly staged in the banquet hall, but when Cate Blanchett mentioned Harvey Weinstein, the expression on his face quickly changed to disgust.

In this circle, no one knows who has a strange hobby in private. The disgust of the new actress queen is obviously not something that she only has today. Her next gossip explains the reason. "You don't know that during the filming of "Shapes' Love History", many people saw Harvey and Judy Denkey mingle with each other."

"f**k, Judy must be 60 years old, right?" When he heard this, even Wayne, who had been smoking silently, suddenly widened his eyes.

He had always known that the fat man had a heavy taste, but he didn't expect that the taste would be so outrageous. Thinking about other actresses who were rumored to that fat man, it is not difficult to analyze it. This guy is simply unlucky.

Nina shook her head and said in amazement: "65 years old..."

"no, no, no, Kate, what's your expression."

Looking at Cate Blanchett's face, with Chilolo's disgust and disgust, Wayne put away the smile on his face. This made him feel very uncomfortable with women. You know, just before the Oscars were over, she was still full of gratitude to Harvey Weinstein.

"Listen, Kate."

Wayne's sudden change of face made Cate Blanchett unresponsive for a while and looked at the man's eyes blankly.

"No matter how the outside world evaluates Harvey, no matter how many people say he is a villain, bi**h, and say he is untrustworthy, but at least he really helped you to publicize this little golden man. No matter what, others can say that he is not good, but you can't do it! OK?"

"I understand." Hearing Wayne's words, Cate Blanchett nodded quickly with a clear panic in his eyes.

A very simple truth is that even if this person is unforgivable, as long as he treats you well and does not treat you evilly, then he should be a good person to you.

As for why Wayne changed his face, everyone present thought of it. He still had a lot of debates inside and outside the circle. After Cate Blanchett took advantage of Harvey Weinstein, he could stomp on the other party unscrupulously. Will she also stomp on Wayne like this one day? Who can say this accurately?

After taking a big sip of cigarette helplessly, Wayne glanced at Cate Blanchett and did not continue the topic. Having said that, this circle has always been like this, and it is normal to hold high and step on low.

"Kevin Tesuhara is waving at us."

Nina leaned close to Wayne's ear and whispered a soft reminder, stretched out her hand, and pointed invisibly across from the opposite side.

Following the direction the assistant lady showed, Wayne snatched out the cigarette in his hand, got up and buttoned the suit top, and murmured in a low voice. "Let's go, talk to them, and then we'll go back and have a breakfast."

The reason why he sat here all night was waiting for Time Warner's CEO. The "old white" sitting next to Kevin Teshura also attracted his attention at the first time.

Wayne on this side moved, one of them stared at him all the time, and also received the signal he wanted.

"Sherry, Wayne Greenberg is gone, when will we go?"

In a corner of the banquet hall, Oscar's host, Tonight, hurriedly turned back to his friend. "Is it over now?"

"Don't worry, let them have time to greet."

Sherry Lansing, dressed in a white lady's suit, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of champagne, and whispered calmly: "Wait a little longer, he won't leave so quickly."

As one of the most powerful women in Hollywood, Shirley Lansing knows the cocktail party too much, and the reason why Viacom's chairman appeared here with Time Warner's CEO, so she is not in a hurry at all.

To put it bluntly, the initial Oscars of Vanity Fair were actually just to increase influence, or it could also be regarded as a simple celebration. But as time goes by, especially in recent years, this cocktail party has become more like a specific trading venue.

In the most luxurious hotel in Los Angeles, guests are usually glamorous in dresses, but at the cocktail party, countless dirty deals are underway.

Just the two big-time masters in the media industry can sit down and negotiate transactions, and the transactions are destined to be less than small.

"Hahaha, remember the bet in the Super Bowl? If you take some time, I will give you a huge surprise."

Kevin Tesuhara's laughter was cheerful. After introduction and simple greetings, he mentioned the bet in the Super Bowl. You should know that in order to fulfill this bet, he not only suffered a lot of blood this time, but also sold a considerable favor.

"Come on, Kevin." After sitting down, Wayne's voice was also cheerful. He lowered his head and lit the cigar that had been thick all the time, and said with disgust: "I'm almost crazy, and even the time I swear I'm squeezed out."

"Hey, young man. But your wealth is growing rapidly with your work, right?" Although he was over 70 years old, Samo Leishidong's hair was not much white. He had a smile on his face and joked: "Seeing your energetic appearance reminded me of my youth."

“e on, Mr. Leistone.”

Kevin Teshura shrugged exaggeratedly and joked to the media tycoon: "I dare to swear, when you were young, you must not have what Wayne has achieved now."

"Hey, I'm so old, you have to save me some face."

There was no serious matter between the three people, nor the strange feeling of meeting just now. While enjoying the cigar, they were talking jokes that were not funny. But this is socializing, and people who can succeed are everyone who is a good actor at this moment.

It is obvious that before Kevin Teshura waved Wayne to come, the main thing between the two elders had already been discussed. Judging from the atmosphere between the two, the result of the talk was quite good.

"Good evening, Mr. Lei Shidong."

Three men in their seventies were talking about horse racing. Shirley Lansing brought Whoopi Gordonburg to come over at the right time and greeted him politely.

"Good evening, Kevin. Hi Wayne, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Ms. Lansing."

Wayne turned his head and inadvertently looked up and down the two ladies, and looked around carefully.

Shirley Lansing, this woman needs no mention of herself, the other party's achievements at Paramount Pictures are no less than those cunning male executives in the circle.

Beside this woman was Whoopi Gordonburg, who had always smiled aggrievedly. He did not smile at the host who often appeared at various award ceremony.

But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. Whoopi Gordonburg looked directly behind Wayne. To be precise, Cameron Diaz, who was standing behind Wayne, and then said sincerely under the gaze of everyone:

"Sorry, Ms. Diaz, I apologize to you for my random talk at the Golden Globes. You know, I was just reading the words given by the organizer, okay, no matter what, my jokes are too much, sorry."

After saying that, before Cameron Diaz could be stunned for a moment, the black woman looked at Wayne. "Sorry, Mr. Greenberg. I feel deeply ashamed of my behavior."

Just as Whoopi Gordonburg apologized, Wayne's eyes narrowed. He did not look at the expression on the black female face, but instead looked at the smiling Kevin Teshura at the first time.

After receiving his eyes, Time Warner ceo shook his head slightly, saying that he had not done anything.

With a smile on her face, Kevin Teshura, and Cameron Diaz, who was staring at Wayne nervously, everyone didn't speak, as if they were waiting for his reaction.

"Ha, these are just small things, Oopi, you don't have to blame yourself, that's just your job."

After about three or four seconds, Wayne suddenly smiled and waved his hand casually. "Yes, that's just your job, you know, Kami was never a stingy woman."

“Thank you, Mr. Greenberg.”

Cameron Diaz, the person who accepted the apology throughout the whole process, never said anything. But it was obvious that Whoopi Gordonburg didn't need her to say anything. After getting the desired result, she consciously retreated to Shirley Lansing's side.

"Okay, let's be here tonight."

More than ten minutes later, Samo Leistone stood up and raised his hand to pat Wayne on the arm. "Wayne, let's make an appointment, let's play ball together."

Wayne stood up at the same time, shook hands with the other party politely again, and agreed. "You know, I've been busy like a top all year this year. If I have time, I'll ask you, Mr. Lei Shidong."

"Give you a suggestion."

Before leaving, Samo Leistone considered it and said: "With your current wealth and achievements, you can actually go behind the scenes earlier. Considering that Hollywood has never lacked talented directors, but the last one who can rise quickly like you is George Lucas."

“I will think about it seriously.”

Samo Leistone and others left, but Wayne frowned slightly.

This is not the first media boss to give him a similar suggestion, but the last person to make such a suggestion was Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corporation.

Obviously, in the eyes of these old-school capital masters, they have a hint of doubt when they look at themselves. Because in their philosophy, when they can completely withdraw from the public and become part of capital, there should be no room for hesitation at all.

"Time Warner will carry out in-depth cooperation with Viacom in the near future..."

After glanced at the women around Wayne, Kevin Tessulhara thought about it, but still did not signal them to leave. She said directly to Wayne: "To be precise, we have successfully joined forces once. Before the Oscar, Time Warner and Viacom joined hands to acquire Comedy Center Channel, and the two companies each controlled 50% of the equity."

"What about this time?"

Shaking his head and throwing the messy thoughts aside, Wayne asked curiously: "Since you have already had a tentative cooperation, your goal this time will definitely be bigger. Tell me, who are you targeting this time?"

Don't look at what Kevin Teshura said is quite simple. On the surface, two media giants acquired a TV station together. But in this golden age of media, no TV station with high ratings is willing to take the initiative to sell itself.

Just like Time Warner and Viacom, the Comedy TV Center acquired together some time ago, all kinds of methods are inevitable. Even if you don’t understand this complicated process, Wayne can imagine it.

When facing the squeeze of the world's No. 1 and No. 3 media groups, the rest of the Comedy TV Center's choice is to sell itself.

“CBS Broadcasting Corporation!”

In a calm tone, Kevin Teshura's name was not as simple as his tone.

"So that's the case. No wonder Samo Leishidong will come forward in person..."

The moment he heard the answer, Wayne nodded thoughtfully. He still remembers that this media tycoon, Samo Leishidong, is not as famous as the Oriental son-in-law of News Corporation at all.

The other party always has a label that is the executive chairman of CBS. Until he was diagnosed with mental illness in his 90s, he never took off this title. After all, in the media industry that is good at controlling public opinion, CBS Limited TV has always been of great value.

The two of them were very calm, as if they were chatting casually. But the women standing next to Wayne were filled with surprise after hearing Time Warner's next move.

CBS broadcasting company, which is completely different from the comedy TV center mentioned earlier, is in people's lives.

It is not only a TV network, but also a radio network with a greater influence. Perhaps mentioning the name CBS TV network will make many people feel unfamiliar, but mentioning the name before it sells it will definitely make countless people feel familiar: CBS Broadcasting Corporation.

Even if it doesn’t mention its broadcast networks throughout North America, its TV network is ranked third in the world. The first and second places are the US Broadcasting Corporation and the Brazilian Global TV Network! It can be seen that the size of CBS is so large.

For a simple comparison, we all know that Time Warner has a large number of TV stations, such as the high-rating pornographic unrest "HBO" in people's eyes, which is a 24-hour, live broadcast of global news, and even the entire Turner TV network, are not as large as CBS!

"It's really a big move..."

After leaving the Vanity Fair party, even when he was photographed by media reporters, Cameron Diaz and Cate Blanchett got into Wayne's car together, Wayne had no scruples at all. He kept silent along the way.

He knew very well that if there was no accident, CBS Broadcasting Company should have been acquired by Viacom himself, but now it was just agitated by Time Warner. And what made him brainstorm was such a change, whether it was caused by himself, and whether more would appear in the future.

Before Time Warner merged with the United States Online, that is, before it completely declined, it was undoubtedly the world's number one media company. Of course, this name was put on Walt Disney for many years later.

But this can also show how glorious Time Warner was around the 1990s and the turn of the century. From Wayne's current perspective, if Time Warner and Viacom really cooperated to acquire CBS Broadcasting Company, then there is no doubt that an extremely bloated media behemoth would be destined to appear.

Looking at Beverly's dazzling night view, Wayne smiled bitterly and said, "That's a big deal, News Corp. hasn't ushered in a forced split yet. Time Warner will be demolished first..."
