(firmenpresse) -
For seventeen years, Chris Fenton served as president of multi-billion-dollar global media company, DMG Entertainment Motion Picture Group and GM of DMG North America-or so we're anticipated to think just after reading the former Hollywood agent’s new memoir, “Feeding the Dragon, Inside the Trillion Dollar Dilemma facing Hollywood, the NBA and American Business.
The truth, on the other hand, is the fact that just like the day-to-day misinformation we acquire from media, there's also extra to Mr. Fenton’s story than what is set out in ‘Dragon’ over the course of 288 pages, based on a current expose by True Hollywood Talk, exactly where they have been left scratching their heads just after a strange interview with the book’s author.
Who is Chris Fenton?
Fenton holds himself out to become many points, most notably the president of DMG for a 17-year period (LinkedIn, Interviews, and ‘Dragon’) and a “China Expert” who appears to possess uncovered the secret among the U.S. and China film industries.
As pointed out by True Hollywood Talk, Fenton’s statements relating to his tenure with DMG and his knowledge on the complete country of China, look to contradict one an additional.
Should you had been to pay a stop by to Fenton’s LinkedIn, you will notice that he states his tenure with DMG was in fact seven years shorter, displaying a 10-year tenure at DMG, from February 2008 - April 2018. A seven-year gap is surely a timeline to look deeper into-if there was some thing there to explore.
Sources close to True Hollywood Speak discovered that each timelines are incorrect. In truth, Fenton was “actually a DMG employee for only five years.” His title of “president” was given to him, in accordance with a former DMG employee, mainly because Fenton requested it for the sole goal of “helping him open extra doors for the company.”
The Media Loves It…So Much They Didn’t Even Investigate the Narratives
For any work that sets out a great number of high-profile executives and companies, like Disney, Marvel, and DMG-you would consider investigative journalism comes into play ahead of any media coverage.
But, regardless of the many numbers of outlets which have recognized ‘Dragon,’ they all look to play off one yet another, providing nothing new, original, or correct. Why is it that of all the high-profile executives, company’s, as well as journalists named in ‘Dragon,’ that none of them have been interviewed or even featured in the on-going media coverage?
Why is it that Disney or Marvel hasn’t come to support this book?
What's apparent from all these interviews with Fenton, is that there are various achievements and accolades that deserve to become recognized, celebrated, and shared-but they are not his to share, anything True Hollywood Talk appears to become the only media outlet to point out.
Ironically, DMG is presently embroiled in a lawsuit with Mr. Fenton, which in line with court documents and sources at Assortment, claims Mr. Fenton engaged in “poor efficiency, gross mismanagement, and fraud.” The lawsuit is ongoing, and arguably, the publication and distribution of Fenton’s latest work could serve to play against any legal arguments Fenton and his counsel make inside the $30 million lawsuit. That remains to be noticed even though as of now.
But what True Hollywood Speak interview points out interestingly, is Fenton’s ongoing representation as a “China Specialist,” that China is his “adopted nation.” To the typical reader, this would lead one to reasonably think that Mr. Fenton spent high quality time in China-that he took the time to discover the dialect as well as the culture.
Regrettably, this was not and isn’t the case. Fenton was asked back in August if he spoke Chinese.
“No, I don’t,” was his reply. In actuality, the former DMG employee was only in China a handful of times, in line with sources, and by no means worked around the actual marketing or distribution with the films he claims to have been part of. Sources close to True Hollywood Talk shared that Mr. Fenton was “really extra of a handler for some talent that came through.”
In 2020, exactly where we live in an era of “fake news” and “misinformation,” how can one claim to become an expert on a thing, in this case an entire nation, once they cannot even speak the country’s language and spent less than some months there all through their whole career?
Capitalizing off the ignorance of others has only helped drive our country into madness and chaos over the previous 4 years. And this is not a fantastic look for Hollywood, which already includes a bitter taste in lots of individual’s mouths.
Prior to his quick tenure with DMG, Fenton worked as an agent for William Morris, but admitted in his book that he was fired for being “too nice of a guy.”
But in line with sources, there is certainly facts becoming left out, coincidentally. Andrew Tenenbaum, CEO at Creative Management & Productions, who was a former talent manager at MBST, a prestigious management company at the time, said that Fenton worked with MBST to get a handful of years. However, there's no mention of MBST at any point in ‘Dragon.’ Why is the fact that?
Tenenbaum acknowledged that Mr. Fenton was in fact employed by MBST for any few years, and that some “bad shit went down.” And he was fired for cause.
In accordance with a former DMG employee, they were told that Mr. Fenton was not only fired from MBST but was locked out of their offices. The source then confided to True Hollywood Talk, that the firing was due to attempted theft of clients and intellectual property.
There's no doubt numerous of these incidents mentioned in ‘Dragon’ did occur-but they appear to beg the question of whether Mr. Fenton was truly the one responsible for them.
Back in March, the book review website, Terrible Book Club read and reviewed ‘Feeding the Dragon,” describing Fenton’s book as follows:
Chris Fenton promises a “deeply revealing memoir” with Feeding the Dragon, but is it basically just a “glossy, dimensionless jerk-off session with a shoddy Chinese backdrop instead? You decide.”

At the end in the day, it is up to readers to decide for themselves what exactly is truth from fiction-but the mere fact a book could be published with so little regard for truth and that media outlets have forgotten the meaning of “investigative journalism” only lends favor for the disturbing truth that information and facts can no longer be assumed to become true-even from our own media.
