Chapter 33 Milo's Identity
At the party, there were always people waiting for Milo to arrive.
After seeing Milo, a white man in a suit and tie who looked a bit like Mickey Mouse came up to him.
"Hello, Mr. Blackburn. Mr. Eisner has been waiting for you."
He took the initiative to step forward and greet Milo, and then introduced himself as the host of tonight's banquet.
Disney CEO and Chairman, Michael Eisner, wanted to chat with Milo.
This year's media industry merger and acquisition frenzy, such as Time Warner's merger with CNN and Viacom's acquisition of CBS -
ABC was also successfully acquired by Disney for US$19.5 billion.
But Disney has been stuck in the final merger procedures.
The last time Michael Eisner visited Milo at the villa.
Disney and Blackburn had a very pleasant collaboration afterwards.
After being stuck for two months, it finally passed the review last month.
Of course, Disney did more than just make a profit from Milo in Hollywood.
And invested $10 million in Milo's film.
Let’s not talk about the former, let’s just talk about the latter.
Disney’s $10 million investment is actually very fake.
Disney, which even dares to cheat Wall Street, can easily get its investment back in advance through subsequent distribution and publicity.
Milo and the Blackburn family are not stupid either, and of course they would not just accept this benefit.
These are just the benefits given to Milo as the "introducer".
What benefits did Disney give Blackburn?
No one at home said anything, and Milo didn't ask.
Michael Eisner wanted to talk, and Milo wanted to take advantage of Disney's momentum.
This will help you gain a firm foothold in Hollywood.
He readily agreed.
But Julie and the other three obviously couldn't be brought along.
But Julie said it was okay, they could just wait downstairs.
Who asked Milo to go over there now? That’s Michael Eisner!
Among the big names coming here tonight, Michael may be one of the biggest ones!
The man sent by Michael Eisner to wait for Milo was named Robert Iger.
Egg was very alert and saw that Milo was worried about them.
So he suggested that Disney's own female executives could accompany Zeta-Jones and the other two.
Seeing this, Milo went up to see Michael Eisner.
Jolie and others were brought by Iger into Disney's own small circle of producers.
As for Milo, he was guided upstairs by the waiter.
The second floor is a large living room that overlooks the banquet hall below and the banquet garden outside.
There was light and melodious music playing inside, and there were a few well-dressed people chatting and laughing.
Milo glanced over and saw that the person in the middle was of course Michael Eisner of Disney.
Milo also recognized Jeffrey Cassavet of Warner, Sam Redstone of Viacom, Donaldson Duncan of CBS, Rupert Murdoch of News Corporation, and Oliver Myers, head of NBC's Los Angeles branch.
They are all people who have extensive influence in the media industry.
"Oh~ Good evening, my dear friend! Milo, you are finally here! How is the banquet tonight? Are you satisfied with it?"
Michael Eisner, who was talking to Sam Redstone, saw Milo leave.
Mickey Mouse's tyrant actually abandoned Lei Shidong and came forward with a smile.
"Good evening, Michael. I just arrived and haven't felt how the dinner is going yet, but I was called up by your people."
Milo stepped forward, smiled, and gave a brief hug to the slightly balding Eisner.
“My bad!”
Eisner said in a crisp and clear voice, smiling, "But it's still early, there's still plenty of time for you to experience the beauty of Hollywood later! Now, let me introduce these old guys to you, okay?"
Milo nodded and looked at the people in front of him with a smile.
"Everyone!"
Eisner presented himself as if he knew Milo well, and as if he were the master.
Well, he is the host of this banquet tonight.
"This is the new Hollywood director, the author of a book that has been ranked first on the New York Times bestseller list for ten consecutive weeks, a favored person who has listened to the gospel of the Lord, and the son of Mr. Joseph Blackburn, Chairman of the House Broadcasting Management Committee, our dear Mr. Milo Blackburn!"
Eisner's introduction was long.
But Milo felt that this was what really concerned the American media giants present.
Maybe it’s the last identity, “son of Mr. Joseph Blackburn”.
As for the new director, the number one best-selling author and the patron of the gospel.
Ordinary people would of course care if they heard this, and might even scream.
But these people and these identities are nothing in their eyes.
Only the son of the Chairman of the Broadcasting Administration Committee.
Only this identity is the reason why they look at Milo with admiration.
Sure enough, after Eisner's introduction.
Everyone in the room came up to him and gave him a warm hug.
They all shook hands with him with big smiles on their faces and introduced themselves.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Actually.
These media giants came together when Joseph became chairman of the House Broadcasting Regulatory Committee.
And after discovering that Milo was Joseph's son.
They sent Milo many invitations to parties.
Unlike before, Milo wanted to attend their parties.
He also asked Wendy to find a way to get an invitation.
But who can blame Milo for being in the spotlight in recent months?
Gospel events.
Milo certainly became famous, making his already best-selling novel even more popular.
Some people now call him the number one young writer in the United States.
But the chaos among America's religious leaders is also dangerous.
If you are not careful, you can easily give others a chance to criticize you.
So he listened to his grandfather and was very cautious, accepting only one scheduled interview.
The rest of the time I just film, and when I feel bored I visit Monica and Zeta-Jones and the others.
I didn't come out for any social events at all.
These people in Hollywood could only watch him so close to them but were unable to communicate.
It's very depressing.
Only Disney's Eisner was lucky enough to have heard the news in advance and contacted Milo.
Now even for his first official appearance, Milo actually chose Disney's banquet.
These giants were somewhat unhappy and somewhat envious of Michael Eisner.
Why are they like this? Let me put it this way.
The Broadcasting Regulatory Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives has similar powers in the United States to the State Administration of Electricity of China.
However, it is weaker because, in name, the Broadcasting Administration Committee only has the power to monitor and make recommendations.
No direct management power.
But, at certain critical moments or important moments.
The Broadcasting Management Committee is often very important.
Like this year's wave of media mergers and acquisitions in the United States, if there was no nod from the Broadcasting Corporation of China.
Then the acquisitions of these media giants will ultimately be declared failures.
So Milo's identity is on the Hollywood side.
It's almost like the son of the director of the General Administration going to the Chinese entertainment industry to make movies.
Just see if the Wang brothers, Yu Dong, and Wu Kebo know about this and whether they will flatter him! However, at present, his identity is only known to giants like Michael Eisner.
After all, ordinary actors, even some big international directors.
They will not be involved in the mergers and acquisitions and cooperation of the giants at all.
Naturally, they have no idea what the Broadcasting Administration Commission does.
Naturally, the most we know is that Milo is a best-selling author and a lucky super celebrity.
Oh, of course.
They also know that this is a rich second-generation who invests his own money in making movies and directs them.
