American Fortune Life

When Andy was talking about increasing revenue and reducing expenditure with the management of Universal Pictures, the reporters and editors of the "Los Angeles Times" who had already received the open letter from the newspaper's CEO were already blown up.

Originally thought that Andy Smith, a super rich man, would change the newspaper's financial problems and change the plan of layoffs and stop losses. Unexpectedly, after a few days of happiness, the butcher's knife of layoffs was raised again, which made many reporters and editors feel helpless. understand.

In particular, the news that the newspaper plans to increase the number of external writers in its digital department to form more sources of information directly alarmed the newspaper’s labor union. Brand image, belittling the value of the news, and the reasons for betraying readers found the newspaper CEO Eddie Harttenstein and asked the newspaper to 'take back the plan'.

After Eddie Hartenstein's indifferent refusal, the trade union representative left angrily with anger, leaving a ruthless sentence, "I will never watch the "Los Angeles Times" degenerate".

And Eddie Hartenstein just looked at the back of the other party with cold eyes, sneered again and again, and at the next meeting, he reiterated the plan and determination of the newspaper's reform.

Everyone knows that the dark clouds that have formed over the Los Angeles Times are about to bring a storm!

"...Okay, I know, just wait for them to jump out. When the time comes, all of them will be kicked out. Isn't it just a buyout fund? Hehe, I just want everyone to understand one thing, who are they holding?" Give them rice bowls! Get the hell out of everything you eat!"

Andy held the phone with a smile on his face, but his tone was full of murderous intent that made people feel cold.

After hanging up the phone, Andy smiled and said to Yuri Cortez and Rolando Aviers who were sitting opposite him: "What are we talking about? Continue."

Hearing the murderous words of the previous boss, the two paparazzi Yuri and Rolando who changed their destiny looked at each other, and continued to report with panicked smiles on their faces: "Boss, we have formed a team of 400 people so far. The paparazzi network formed is scattered throughout Los Angeles, because we are collecting exclusives at a high price, and now the website is running very well, after two months, the number of visits has reached 30 million..."

Andy couldn't help but be moved by it, as expected, entertainment gossip is the most eye-catching, especially, the "E! OnLine" website digs into the mystery of MJ's funeral and death. Although it aroused strong dissatisfaction and anger from MJ's family, it brought The effect of the website is also obvious. A new entertainment gossip website with a simple interface and little investment has become an instant hit!

As I said before, all manipulation is for control, all control is for utilization, and all utilization is for profit. Therefore, in modern civilization, under the surface of prosperity, there are always hands manipulating all of this.

"Good job!" Andy nodded and praised the two in satisfaction. To be honest, he really didn't expect the two low-level paparazzi to do this. This also shows one thing, everyone is talented Yes, the key is to look at opportunities and opportunities. Of course, whether you can seize opportunities also depends on your ability.

"I didn't expect that you would choose the company here. From the outside, no one would know that this would be the headquarters of an entertainment gossip website." Andy laughed.

The E!OnLine website is really an ordinary old factory building. There is no signboard at the entrance, and there is no cool exterior wall decoration. It is just a cement brick surface, and there is only a simple house number with 2161 written on it. After pushing the door and entering , is a large open office area, without any partitions to distinguish areas, there are mobile writing boards everywhere, with various photos nailed to them, and what is even more frightening is that the daily travel routes and living habits of many Hollywood stars are clear. It is clearly marked on the map of Hollywood, it is simply terrifying!

Andy stood in front of the "Pete and Julie" couple's tracking road map, looked at some lines marked with different colors on it, turned back and smiled at Yuri and Rolando: "I'm coming this time,

I have something to discuss with you. "

"Boss, if you have anything to ask, please tell me." Rolando laughed hastily, not daring to take up the topic of the big boss's so-called discussion.

"Hehe, here's the thing. If you receive a good exclusivity, I hope you can send it to the Los Angeles Times. There may be some turmoil in the Times recently. I don't want to see the Los Angeles Times shut down. Is that okay?" Ann Di smiled and looked at the two and asked.

"No problem!" Rolando responded immediately.

"Boss, we have a piece of news right now, which was chased by our own reporter. The husband of actress Sandra Bullock and TV star Jesse James has a series of gossip photos, because the other party has never found out, so we We are trying our best to pursue this exciting news, if necessary, we can pass on all the photos." Yuri said immediately.

"Damn—"

Andy couldn't help complaining in his heart, this is indeed a big story, and he stole it in a row. This is definitely a big melon, enough for the entire American media to eat for a long time, and the key is to be exclusive.

"Okay, okay, I really didn't misread you two!" Andy really felt relieved this time. To be honest, he wasn't worried at all about the newspaper reporters and editors making trouble. What he was most worried about was " The possibility of the suspension of the Los Angeles Times, now supported by this exclusive news, he can rest assured to deal with those who jumped out to make trouble. As for whether Sandra Bullock will be sad, that is not something he should consider Well, no, she should also thank herself for letting her know the truth early.

Satisfied, Andy left E Online with a full load, and drove to the "Los Angeles Times". When a storm was coming, he would naturally choose to sit in charge and show his iron fist.

"Buzz—"

The buzzing sound of the mobile phone brought Andy, who was thinking about things with his eyes slightly squinted, back to reality.

"Hehe, good afternoon, Iger, call me at this time, do you want to invite me to lunch?" As soon as the call was connected, Andy joked with a smile.

"Hehe, I really want to invite you to lunch and talk about some things by the way, so, do you have time?" Disney CEO Iger smiled heartily on the phone.

"Too much time, tell me the address, I'll be there soon." Andy frowned slightly, quickly thinking about the purpose of the other party's appointment with him. However, he did not have any business dealings with Disney recently, so he couldn't help but become curious .

"Musso \u0026amp;amp; Frank..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he hung up the phone, and the smile on Andy's mouth gradually faded, and he shook his head for some unknown reason. However, soon, the CEO of his own NBC TV station, Plepler, answered his questions.

"Boss, I just got a call from White House Chief of Staff Emanuel. In order to get the best viewership effect of the President's speech, the White House asked us to broadcast President Okankai's televised speech live during the prime time at night. According to the information I got , the CEOs of ABC and CBS both got the same call..."

"What a bastard!" Andy, who knew the reason, couldn't help but frowned.

"Yeah, boss, we just can't afford to give up primetime any longer in a bad economy. Replacing primetime programming with presidential speeches has a considerable financial cost to the network, and news departments have the complexity of being exploited." Feel."

"Hehe, the White House is obviously exerting pressure. We have to give this face. No wonder Iger invited me to dinner. Since the president took office, how many times has he had a prime time slot?" Andy sneered. asked.

"This is the fourth time in his six months in office."

Andy couldn't help but sneered, and shook his head, Ao Guanhai was really impatient, his approval rating dropped so badly, he even used the means of putting pressure on the TV stations, the three major TV stations really don't have to give him this face, However, if you want to do an exclusive interview with him in the future, I'm afraid you will be made things difficult, this guy!

"Let's do it this time. Next time, if you have such an unreasonable request again, you can directly push it to me and let the White House find me!"
