In all fairness, Jiang Zhijiao, a foreigner, now enjoys super-national treatment. When many sick citizens in Hujiang could only live in simple wards such as warehouses and classrooms, he was able to live in luxurious single wards. However, because of this, Jiang Zhijiao already wanted to cry without tears, and took care of it carefully, in other words, it was closely cared for. The contact with the outside world was almost completely cut off, and everything else could only be discharged from the hospital after more than a month of recovery.

Jing Jian had also put aside Jiang Zhijiao's matter for the time being, and since he had fallen into the pit, he was waiting to appreciate his dying throes. Anyway, the incident fermented more than a month later. The top priority is that the post-production of the film has been completed, and a suitable distributor needs to be found.

The first people to contact were Warner and Paramount, who had a previous relationship. said that it was a partnership, but in fact, it rented a studio and editing studio, and these two companies also responded quickly and arranged a viewing time.

However, the first Warner was very depressing, so a distribution manager came, watched the film in a hurry, and finally shook hands politely and said goodbye: "Mr. Bramble, if you are interested, we will contact you." ”

In fact, everyone understands that this is a polite refusal. In the afternoon of the same day, Jing Jian and a few others came to Paramount again, this time a little better: "We need 20% of the box office, and we also need all the copyright ......" There is no need to look at other conditions, it is completely naked robbery. If anyone will say yes, it's really brain water.

Later, the big studios were also quite unhappy, and even refused on the spot, not giving them a chance to watch the film at all. This made Jing Jian quite helpless, did he really go to those second- and third-rate publishers?

......

Jing Jian understands in his heart that this is actually an industry barrier, and Hollywood is quite unfriendly to outsiders. In particular, the relationship with CAA has been stiffened, which makes the distribution of the film even more difficult. But ...... you want to play, let's play a big scene!

On January 9, the headline of entertainment news in the United States, the mysterious Chinese kid issued a total of $283 million for four North American theater chains. Although these four cinema chains are all small cinema chains, this acquisition case is quite distinctive: first, all cash acquisition, and second, no bargaining, limited to one week.

“...... This is the headquarters of Los Angeles Seed Entertainment, and we were interviewed by Mr. Danny. Mr. Danny, are you serious about Seed Entertainment's acquisition of those four theaters?" interviewed an ABC reporter.

Ding Sheng, whose English name is Danny, secretly rolled his eyes, who knows what this master Jing Shao thinks? However, in an interview with the mainstream media in the United States for the first time, Ding Sheng was still a little fluttering: "Of course he is serious. One point that needs to be corrected here is that the acquisition is proposed by Seed Media, not Seed Entertainment or its subsidiary Seed Pictures. As the guarantor bank for our acquisition is Bank of America, the specific information can be publicly inquired. In addition, we have conducted a detailed evaluation of these four cinema chains, and they have already acquired them at a premium of about 50%, so we will propose a limit of one week. Beyond the time limit, we may abandon the acquisition. ”

After Black Monday, Jing Jian's cash around him has been exaggerated, and he has long wanted to find some opportunities worth investing in. Since the release of the film is not smooth now, it is good to simply buy those North American theaters.

In 1948, the Supreme Court issued the Paramount precedent, which banned major Hollywood companies from vertically producing, distributing and exhibiting in order to break the monopoly. In the years that followed, the major theater chains in the United States were unsatisfactory, and the purchase price was not very high.

However, with the rise of entertainment media companies such as Murdoch, Lei Shidong and Disney in the 90s, large monopoly groups were formed again, and television, movies, newspapers, the Internet, distribution, and theaters were ....... Not to mention how those media giants take advantage of legal loopholes, it is only necessary to understand that it will not take a few years at all, and the cinema chain will be very valuable. So for Jing Jian, if those theaters can't be bought, he won't have much to lose, and even if he buys them, he will never suffer a loss, anyway, they will definitely be able to change hands at a high price in a few years.

"Mr. Danny, we know that Mr. Bramble has a keen investment eye and has many successful investment cases before. Does his acquisition of the cinema chain this time mean that he is very optimistic about the future of Hollywood?" the reporter asked again.

Ding Sheng remembered Jing Jian's command: "It's the opposite. Before, we invested $20 million in seed pictures to shoot a film, and we were in a situation where we couldn't release it? It's infuriating, we didn't even have a chance to test it? So we bought our own theaters and screened them ourselves. Here, we also want to use our own miserable situation to remind those investors, especially those outside the United States, that Hollywood is very unfriendly, and if you can't afford a movie theater, you should be prepared to throw your money into the water!

This time, the reporter's eyes lit up: "Mr. Danny, is the person behind the scenes you are talking about CAA?"

"I don't want to be named and I don't want to get bogged down in an inexplicable lawsuit. However, I would like to advise some people here that you are doing it for your own benefit, and we can understand that. But you want to bring down the entire film industry? That's going to be retribution. Mr. Bramble came to Hollywood with a love of cinema, but now he is only sad and angry. Of course, if you rely on your domineering and don't let us buy those theater chains, that's nothing. We can afford to lose that 20 million, and we will use more 20 million to promote to the world for a long time, Hollywood is dangerous, never invest!"

“......”

As soon as the news is broadcast, it is like putting a hydrogen bomb in Hollywood, and this cliff is the rhythm of flipping the table and not playing?

There was no need to mobilize at all, and in an instant, Jing Jian became a public enemy of Hollywood. A person who denigrates Hollywood is not terrible, a billionaire who denigrates Hollywood is much more terrible, and a billionaire maniac who denigrates Hollywood ......?

After that, how can Hollywood cheat those local tyrants out of their investments? Even if they can, how much benefit will they have to give up in negotiations? This is simply the hatred of seizing money. So it immediately set off a wave of verbal and written criticism.

In the face of the overwhelming crusade, Jing Jian did not show weakness, and repeatedly said one sentence - I am rich, I am willful!

All of a sudden, Hollywood spewed a mouthful of old blood. They suddenly thought that if Jing Jian really didn't play in the future, they really couldn't help him. A movie with an investment of 20 million, if you don't want it, you don't want it, what else can you do?
