"Boss, White Star wants us to initiate the acquisition, and the board of directors unanimously approved it, but there is some trouble on the part of the government, and they want to keep White Star in the UK. ”

"What about the price?" is not a problem with a wholly-owned acquisition, the main thing is the price.

Lawrence once said that the shipping company White Star, its asking price is 12 million US dollars, I wonder how much they want now?

"$200,000 plus $3.5 million in debt. "Shirahoshi has nothing of value left, except for a few old cargo ships.

Even the Olympus that CGT wants, and it is already at the age of retirement, and if no one buys it, it will be dismantled by this time next year.

"Is there any value for Baixing to acquire?" asked Li Zitao.

"They have a large number of experienced crews and control 4 routes in the Atlantic... And the splendor that is coming to an end. Alde Augustin's tone was heavy.

It is embarrassing that the White Star has created countless pride in the British shipping industry, but now it has fallen to such a state.

"Then buy it, I will solve the pressure on the government side, and the white star will be a British subsidiary of Lee C Astor Industries Group and will not be withdrawn from the UK. ”

Li Zitao kept withdrawing people from CGT and transferring all the outstanding talents to New Orleans because France would fall, and even the government would be lost.

Although Britain did not have a good time, at least it did not fall, and aircraft carriers, cruisers, and destroyers were built like dumplings during the war.

Placing the White Star in England will come in handy at that time.

To solve the pressure from the government, Li Zitao did not come forward in person, but only asked Li C Astor Industrial Group to send a negotiation team.

The pressure was lifted when it became clear that they would keep the White Star in the UK and invest more in it to restore its glory.

Filming the 'Big Ship' required the cooperation of all aspects, and it took up to 1 year for the Weta special effects studio of the 'Love Craft' Howard.

Using wood, paint and painting to create a 1:1 'Titanic' to shoot the shipwreck, this is Li Zitao's plan.

There are also icebergs, and they have to send fleets to find hundreds of tons of ice floes and deliver it to the filming sites where they need it.

There are also helicopters, aerial footage of aerial photography must be there, that is a classic.

"As for the casting... This time, I'll be in charge myself. Li Zitao formulated a preliminary plan for this shooting plan.

Half a month later, Aimo saw the script of "Titanic", and when she turned to the last page, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Crazy." ’

At the end of the story, it reads, 'Budget is uncapped. ’

......

......

As an otaku for half a month, Li Zitao carefully recalled the stories of the two films and mailed them back to Hollywood as scripts.

In the 'Fast and Furious' series, Li Zitao only remembers the fights of supercars, muscles, and explosions, and when I think about the specific story details carefully, I find that it is completely vague and intermittent, and it took a lot of time to write.

On the contrary, it was the 'Titanic,' which once made him twenty-two brushes, written smoothly and fluently, without the slightest stumble.

Perhaps in the eyes of most audiences, 'Titanic' is just a love film that can sing and cry, and depend on life and death.

But through the lens, we can see more, discrimination in social class, race and gender, women's struggle against the times, these are very interesting.

Of course, the beautification of human nature in the film is even more perfect, and people always look forward to the unattainable hope.

The founders and their wives who lie in bed at Macy's, the British banking giants who give up the hope of escape to women and children, and calmly die.

In the face of a major choice, the pressure of shooting in order to stabilize the situation, knowing that he could not save more people, changed from a protector to a murderer's self-blame and guilt, which made him unable to bear it and chose to shoot himself.

The crew who abide by their duties and stick to their posts, the captain and the chief engineer who calmly go to their deaths, these are all tearful places.

Inevitably, the ugly side is also exposed, the high-level White Star who gives up his dignity in the face of death, the selfish and cunning male second and so on.

Such a film will definitely cause a sensation, and it will also meet the needs of all levels of society, highlighting the gentlemanly demeanor of the capitalists and revealing the cruelty of the class.

There is also a complete main line of love, which can be sung and cried, the poor boy's redemption of the rich daughter, and the love that makes her live as she wants and what he expects.

The specific shooting script will be polished by professional editors and directors, after all, Li Zitao is a layman and knows nothing about filming, just provide the story.

"Sir, your guest has arrived. The servant's debriefing interrupted his train of thought.

"Ask him to come in. Saying that, Li Zitao took the initiative to greet the door, and just walked up the steps of the living room when he saw someone coming.

Dressed in a white suit, his hair is oily with hair wax, and he is combed with a partial lean young man.

"Your Excellency Charlie, I'm Shao Renzhi, just call me Shao Liu. Seeing that Li Zitao took the initiative to greet him, Shao Renzhi sped up his pace with some excitement, stepped forward to hold his hand and said.

"Shao Liu... You're welcome, call me Charlie. Looking at the young version of Uncle Shao in front of him, Li Zitao's mood was very complicated.

The prosperity of TVB and Gangjiang movies in the future was created by him.

The person who needed to be looked up to in his previous life, now just because of his small move, his face is red with excitement, this feeling... It's cool.

"The development of Shaw Brothers in East Asia is impressive, are you interested in cooperating?" After the two sides took their seats, Li Zitao took the initiative to ask after the maid served tea.

"Of course. After receiving Li Zitao's invitation, the Shaw Brothers specifically investigated his industry and background.

I don't know if I don't check, the two of them are really surprised and delighted by this check, it turns out that this super-rich man who made his fortune in North America is also involved in the film industry.

The most authoritative film award in North America, the Oscars, was sponsored by him, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame was funded by him, and there is a special maintenance fund.

There are also a large number of star resources mastered by DreamWorks, and after knowing their ability to absorb gold, Shao Liu's eyes drooled greedily.

If Shaw Brothers also has so many cash cows, why do they still import film sources everywhere and use all the films they shoot.

It's a pity that they don't have so many resources at hand, and the equipment and shooting technology of Tianyigang Factory are incomparable with foreign ones.

Fortunately, the Shaw Brothers have enough theaters in their hands, which can allow them to get enough film sources at the minimum cost and earn huge profits.

Don't look at him as polite to Li Zitao, but in fact, he is thinking in his heart: It is okay to cooperate, but Shaw Brothers must control the management and occupy more than half of the shares.

After all, Li Zitao's influence is only in North America, while the Shaw Brothers have more than 110 movie theaters and 9 amusement parks in Southeast Asia such as Nanyang, Singapore, Malaysia, Java, Vietnam, and Borneo, and have established a complete film distribution network.
