Chapter 0628 - Catherine Who Can't Wait
The negotiation with Shao Liu finally ended in the 'next meeting', and the other party did not give him a clear answer.
Li Zitao is not surprised, now he is not the sixth uncle who came later, and he is not a man of his word in the Shaw Brothers Company, so it is naturally not for him to call the shots on such a big matter.
However, Li Zitao believed that he was tempted, there were no conditions attached, and he only wanted to make money, so he didn't believe that Shao Liu could resist the temptation.
If he could really bear it, Li Zitao wouldn't mind finding someone else, but he wouldn't be so generous in terms of conditions.
Whoever makes Shao Liu's success 'predictable', of course he can boldly delegate power.
On other people who don't know, Li Zitao doesn't want to use his money to waste, 5 million US dollars is not much for him, but it is a huge investment in any industry.
In other words, this kind of limelight is not more appropriate for Lawrence's 'angel investment', "Forget it, after all, this is a private matter!"
In terms of film and television cultural output, there are two successful ones in the future, one is 'Hollywood', and the other is 'Bollywood'. ’
Of course, Korean dramas are also very successful, directly distorting the sexual orientation of the new generation of Huaguo, and the sissy is in charge, and Li Zitao has not watched domestic dramas since then.
The future Chinese market is divided into two levels, men are watching American blockbusters, and women are chasing small fresh meat Oba dramas.
As for domestic blockbusters, except for a few works of conscience, the rest is to be injured once and disappointed once, and they are almost catching up with the national football team.
Those so-called big names, steel cannons, and old plotters, play with the audience like mentally retarded every day, and they also have the words "audience garbage." ’
The decline of Hong Kong films has made the Chinese-speaking market lack of real representative works, and Li Zitao feels helpless when he thinks about them.
Now the reason why he supports Shao Liu and wants to build Oriental Hollywood is to change this situation.
However, judging from Shao Liu's character, he may prefer to see the Shaw Brothers family dominate, thinking that only he can do it to promote Chinese films.
This kind of arrogant mentality is also the driving force that supports him to go on, and no one can say clearly whether it is good or not.

......
Hollywood, DreamWorks.
Aymor and representatives of the banking group are signing a final agreement, after which Paramount will be out of their control.
"It was a pleasure to work with. "The moment the pen was put down, DreamWorks completed the acquisition of Paramount.
Because before the transaction with the banking group, Aimo had already obtained the share transfer from Adolf Zucker and the Froman brothers.
The corresponding debt was transferred to DreamWorks, otherwise it would not have been him who would have signed with the banking group, but the Zucker and Froman brothers.
"Congratulations, and hopefully we will have the opportunity to work together in the future. "The representative of the banking group was very kind to Aimo.
Behind this woman stood a giant crocodile, a financial tycoon on Wall Street, who would want to go against such a figure.
Asking the secretary to send the representative of the banking group away, Aimo pointed to the chair in front of him to Zhuke, who was sitting on the couch next to him.
"Your plan boss agrees in principle, but he has to decide the subject matter of the shooting, and here is the script he provides. There was a bit of helplessness on Aimo's face.
Seeing her expression, Adolf Zucker's heart sank, and he guessed, 'It must be that the script is too bad for even a layman like her to read.' ’
"Ms. Aimo... Our agreement... I should have the final say on the shooting. "Adolf Zhuke really didn't want to mention it at this time, if he could.
The two sides have just reached a cooperation, and they have not yet entered the honeymoon period, and he has not yet gotten the stocks and investments promised by the other party, and now it will be very bad for him to fall out with him.
But Adolf Zucker is paranoid when it comes to filming, he can tolerate the company changing hands, he can accept no shares, or even a low salary, but the only thing he can't stand is to let him shoot a piece of.
"You'd better take a look first!" Seeing that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something, Aimo pointed to the script and waited to see his performance.
The preconceived 'prejudice' made Zucker think it was the impulse of a rich man, but with the sound of the paper flipping, he could no longer take his eyes off it.
So much so that when he saw the last 'no upper limit', even he couldn't help but gasp.
This is not only a big deal, it is simply about to blow a hurricane in the global film industry.
People would use all sorts of disdainful words to describe him, 'megalomaniac,' 'idiot,'' 'megalomaniacal,'' ''he's a nouveau riche who doesn't understand movies'......
In Adolf Zuuk's mind, no words of praise could be imagined.
But I have to say that this script is very attractive to him, and if it can really be filmed, it will be even more sensational.
It's just that whether it can be profitable after all, Adolf Zhuke prefers the latter.
It's not that there are no works that are not sold in Hollywood, but there are many of them.
Especially after the big production of "Hell's Angels" started, some companies that saw business opportunities began to try to shoot the big screen.
However, most of them failed, and they lost their fortunes, but the eight major pictures have always maintained a cautious and steady style.
Now Li Zitao wants to shoot a film with an investment of more than 20 million US dollars, which is a figure that Zhu Ke has come up with with experience.
If he knew that Li Zitao had now acquired the White Star and was preparing to refurbish the 'Olympus' for Howard to build1; 1 model, and Zucker will know that his budget is far from enough.
Sonorous.
There was a knock on the door, looking at Catherine behind the glass, Aimo smiled and said, "Catherine, come in!"
"Aimo... Mr. Zucker, it looks like we're already one family with Paramount. Catherine said in a relaxed tone, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed very generously.
Aimo's attitude towards her has become commonplace, but this new star, known as the 'Emperor', is somewhat independent.
Aimo doesn't care about that, as long as she cooperates with the company's work and can earn a lot of money for DreamWorks, fans like her.
The character design is a thing, and after selling it for a long time, it will either become more and more resistant, or it will be integrated with the character and completely become a real personality.
Catherine doesn't have any confusion about this, she is like this, she just needs to be herself, and fans like her for who she is.
"Yes, we are a family from today onwards. Aimo laughed.
About DreamWorks' acquisition of Paramount, it is rumored in Hollywood, not to mention their own people like Catherine, even any tourist on the street knows it.
"That's great, does the company have any plans for filming?" Catherine didn't come today for small talk, but for purpose.
She hasn't started work for half a year, and since the end of the last play, she has been in a gap period, and the opportunities have been taken away by the 'new favorites' one by one.
The reason why she came uninvited today was because she couldn't wait, and the other reason was that she received the news that Paramount was about to make a big move.
