The end of the competition on the supermarket side has finally relaxed the tense nerves of the senior management of the Li Group in the past few months, and with the closure of some of their stores on the Wellcome side, it is destined that the Wellcome supermarket will be far away from Xiangjiang.

On the morning of June 1, not long after Li Guangyu came to the office, Le Yiling came to his office to report to Li Guangyu on the issue of the alien release jointly invested by Jiayi Group, Globe Group and Spielberg Film Company.

After listening to Le Yiling's report, Li Guangyu said to him: "In terms of Southeast Asian and Korean theaters, you go to contact Run Run Shaw, plus our Jiayi's own theaters in Xiangjiang, Baodao and Japan, this time we will be released simultaneously with Universal Pictures in the United States on the 12th." ”

Le Yiling herself has no bottom about this movie, and she doesn't know if the first cooperation between her group and the film and television company in the United States will become a big failure like Golden Harvest.

Now seeing that Li Guangyu attaches so much importance to the release of this movie, her worries have also been put down a lot, Li Guangyu's legend makes her have blind trust in her heart, and if Li Guangyu attaches great importance to it, the Li Group will definitely be able to get huge returns.

As long as it can get very good results this time, then Jiayi Group can be regarded as successfully opening the door to the American film industry, and Jiayi Group will cooperate with more film companies in the United States in the future, and even establish an independent film branch there to produce its own films.

Although the current film market in Xiangjiang is very prosperous, Le Yiling knows very well that Hollywood in the United States is the leader of films, and Jiayi Group still needs to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood if it wants to achieve something in this regard.

Otherwise, Jiayi Group Film Company will always be a regional film and television company, and it will not be able to become a world-class film company.

Le Yiling replied: "Li Sheng, I will do a good job in this regard to ensure that this movie can be released simultaneously in multiple regions on the 12th." And because of the time difference, our side will release it earlier than the American side. ”

Jiayi Group is not like Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest does not have the initiative to cooperate with American film companies.

Because Jiayi Group is backed by the Li Group, its influence in the United States is not small, and with the advantages of Jiayi's side in the theater, the Li Group has not lost any benefits.

If it weren't for the factors of European and American releases, Jiayi Group would not have let Universal Pictures intervene, and the box office in Europe and the United States is far greater than that in Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, making Universal Pictures Group occupy 5% more shares than Jiayi.

Shi Nansheng, who was in charge of the cooperation negotiations at that time, asked Li Guangyu for his opinion many times for this reason.

Li Guangyu considered that his Jiayi Group in Europe and the United States does not have too many connections, especially in theaters, if he does not cooperate with several major film groups in the United States, it will be a big problem to release it at that time.

And Steve Spielberg also hopes that Universal Pictures will join in, hoping that Jiayi Group will make some concessions, and Li Guangyu can only accept this.

Li Guangyu understands Steve Spielberg's thoughts very well, Universal Pictures Group is obviously more reliable than Jiayi Group, and with Universal Pictures Group's stake, he is not worried that his film will not be released in Europe and the United States at all.

As for the film market in Asia, it is still far from being comparable to the European and American markets. Major U.S. studios are still focusing on their home countries.

If Jiayi Group does not make concessions, it is estimated that Steve Spielberg will directly give up cooperation with Jiayi Group and only choose to cooperate with Universal Pictures Group, then Li Guangyu will lose a lot.

Li Guangyu knows that this movie is very profitable, and Universal Pictures Group may make a little less money when it comes in, but with them coming in, there will be no problems in the European and American markets, and it will be less than Universal to make less money, which is better than not having to make money.

Therefore, Li Guangyu instructed Shi Nansheng, who negotiated in the United States, to agree to the distribution of shares, with Universal holding 40% of the shares, Jiayi 35% of the shares, and Spielberg 25% of the shares.

Due to the need for a lot of special effects, this movie specially invited industrial magic light to produce, resulting in a very large investment in this film, and the completion and post-production of this film cost a total of 15 million US dollars.

The Lee Group invested $6.75 million, part of which was due to Spielberg's stake in the script and talent, so Universal and Jiayi had to pay some more money.

Li Guangyu said: "Yi Ling, you can contact Zhou Liang Shuyi and Liu Tianci later, and let them start promoting the upcoming aliens, and be sure to ensure that this release can achieve more dazzling results." Only when the results are good enough this time will we have enough confidence to negotiate with the film group in the United States in the future. ”

Le Yiling naturally hopes that the higher the box office of this movie, the better, which will be of great help to enhance the reputation of Jiayi Film Company.

"Li Sheng, I will contact Ms. Zhou Liang and Liu Sheng later, so that our film can attract the attention of fans throughout Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, and this time we will let those film companies in the United States see the capabilities of our Jiayi Group. In the future cooperation, we can face up to the influence of our group in Asia. Le Yiling said.

Li Guangyu considered that his side was temporarily in a state of contraction, and there was no plan for large investment, and the previous expansion of Jiayi Group cinemas was bought by the Li Group and then leased to the Jiayi Group, resulting in their expansion completely dependent on the Li Group.

Li Guangyu now intends to relax this restriction, Jiayi Group is a listed company, Li Guangyu has not used the group's funds in addition to annual dividends, so that Jiayi Group's internal profit is not too high, but the liquidity in his hands is higher than that of many groups.

Li Guangyu said: "Yi Ling, in the past few years, your group's funds have mainly been used to fill the satellite side, and now the payment there has already been settled, and you only need to pay a maintenance fee every year in the future." And the layout of our cinema chain is not yet in Southeast Asia, your group can make a layout in this regard, as for whether to buy or rent, it is up to your senior management to decide, Jiayi Group's financial resources are enough to support the expansion of the cinema chain. ”

Le Yiling was very happy to hear it, although the cinema chain is managed by her own group, but the expansion of the cinema chain has not been the final say of her own group.

In Japan, they need to communicate with Starlight Real Estate Group, and in Baodao and Xiangjiang, they need to communicate with Starlight Real Estate Group, and now Xiangjiang has been converted into Wheelock Group, and every movie theater belongs to these groups, and then Jiayi Group rents it from them, which makes it quite troublesome for them to expand.

As for why Li Guangyu did this, Le Yiling also knew that the prices of the theaters that Xiangjiang had acquired had doubled or tripled? Li Guangyu obviously didn't want to let others share the benefits here.

As for the Japanese side to let the Xingyue Group come, it is mainly to strengthen the relationship with the Fujiwara family, and with them, they can also protect the interests of the Li Group in Japan.

And now that Li Guangyu has released the restrictions, and she can rent and buy, she can carry out a large-scale expansion of the theater chain, anyway, Li Guangyu himself doesn't care too much about the dividends on the side of Jiayi Group, they just use the group's funds to expand.
