At three o'clock in the morning, the Ao Island Gambling King and his entourage walked out of the gate of the Bellagio Casino and drove away. Shen Ning sat in one of the cars, looking back at the bustling and dark streets behind him from time to time, his face flashing with a hint of vigilance.

Sensing his nervousness, the ghost hand smiled instead: "Brother Shen, are you worried about what those French will do?" "Wouldn't it, I won 400 million US dollars from them, even the richest man in the world would feel distressed, right?" Shen Ning asked rhetorically. The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. "$400 million is indeed a lot of money, enough for those French guys to have a toothache for 2 months, but we also have the rules for opening casinos. Qiu Tian explained some of the unknown unspoken rules of this industry.

He continued: "But this kind of thing that hurts people can't be done a second time, otherwise it will be completely immortal, and I'm afraid that after tonight, your image will be transmitted to the alliance through Bellagio and become a person on the blacklist of major casinos, and you can only earn this 400 million once." "Besides, you will face the pursuit of the casino, brother, next time you can't do this, but you can play with those rich and rich, as long as it does not harm the interests of the casino." ”

After listening to Shen Ning, he suddenly realized, why did these three dare to leave with a swagger, the feelings are the normal "exchange" between casinos, they also exchanged a little deeper this time, and asked for 400 million US dollars from Bellagio at once! These 400 million US dollars were all won by Shen Ning through "Stud" from the master hired by Bellagio, that is to say, according to the previous agreement between him and the ghost hand, the 400 million US dollars will all belong to him alone. earned 400 million US dollars in just a few hours, such a speed is beyond the reach of even the richest man in the world, and a few ghost hands are also quite envious, but they have no opinion, this 400 million US dollars is the value of Shen Ning's gambling skills.

Although Ghost Hand and the others said that they didn't have to worry about the retaliation of the French, someone would always break the rules, and for the sake of safety, they proposed to return to San Francisco by helicopter overnight, and Shen Ning had no opinion on this. He now feels that the casino is very unsafe, and Bellagio will not retaliate, but he will not tell the local HEI gang that he has 400 million US dollars! Although he is an alien, he has no force value! At the beginning of the morning, the group came to San Francisco, and Shen Ning didn't care to feel this city where Chinese gathered, so he fell asleep as soon as he took a shower. At noon the next day, the ghost knocked on Shen Ning's door.

"Shen Ning, the $360 million has been transferred to your account, you can check it, and this is the 40 million cash check you want. As he spoke, Ghost Hand handed over the check in his hand. But Shen Ning pushed the check back instead, and said with a smile: "Without your support, I wouldn't have been able to win so much money in Bellagio alone, and the 40 million belongs to you." ”

"To us?" Ghost Hand was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shook his head: "Didn't we say that all the money you earned belongs to ......" "It's mine, but I want to give it to the three brothers and brothers, can't this work?" Shen Ning interrupted rudely and asked, "Could it be that this also violates Mr. He's rules?"

"That's not it, but this, okay!" The ghost hand nodded heavily, and hugged his fist at Shen Ning: "I will accept this money on behalf of everyone, so that the three of us will each get 10 million, and the remaining 10 million will be divided among the brothers, how about it?" "Okay, this is a good friend and a good brother!" Shen Ning grinned. "Brother, you are generous, 10 million US dollars is enough for my salary for a year!" The ghost hand accepted the check with a smile on his face, after all, no one likes to have a lot of money, let alone such a large sum of money.

Clinker Shen Ning shook his head: "I myself am also short of money, otherwise I would not have given 40 million, but we still have many opportunities in the future." Seeing that Shen Ning's expression was not joking, the ghost hand couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother, what kind of business are you going to do, do you need so much money?" The cost is small and the profit is large, and there is still a shortage of money in such a financial situation? What kind of big thing does this have to do?

"Entertainment business, didn't I say that I want to be the king of entertainment?" Shen Ning told the truth, but he didn't explain much, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "I set up a company in the United States, and I need a security force to protect some core technologies, do you have a way, brother?" "Security? Hey, you're really asking the right question!" Ghost Hand Sen Sen laughed, opened his mouth and said: "I am now in charge of the security of the Ao Island Casino and Mr. He's house, do you want to be your own person or a foreigner?"

"I just need strong and loyal people, and I can give the best price in the world. "That's still our own people are reliable, but it's powerful...... This depends on how you define it, brother, is it a simple fist or this?" Shen Ning nodded without hesitation, and at the same time looked at the high-powered president of Fuchs Films, and said with a smile: "If Fuchs is not willing to invest, I can also fill this gap." ”

Receiving Shen Ning's affirmative answer in person, Cameron was relieved, and when he looked at Damon again, he already asked with a hint of pressure: "Mr. Damon, in my heart, you Fuchs Film will always be the number one investor, but I really can't wait any longer, can you please give me an answer?" "I believe that as long as the shooting is successful, someone will still buy my name, and there will be no difficulties in distribution." "Threat!

Being able to say this to a predator like President Fuchs not only proves that Cameron is indeed a bull, but also shows that this great director is really in a hurry.

"Invest, we will invest!" Damon said almost without thinking, joking that this is a Cameron movie, although it is a big risk, but as long as they succeed, Fuchs will be even greater.

It was a temptation that could not be refused, but he had to consider the aftermath of defeat. "Master Cameron, we at Fuchs are willing to invest $100 million and be responsible for the distribution of the film.

400 million US dollars, converted into Zhongzhou yuan, that is 2.4 billion! This may be a huge wealth for most people, but as the owner of this wealth, Shen Ning does not have much concept, he only knows that with money, he can do what he wants. After sorting out his thoughts, he allocated $100 million to Davis as soon as possible, after all, this is the largest base he has buried overseas, and in a capitalist country, there must still be a façade!

Davis was full of enthusiasm for the construction of the new company, and on the other hand, Shen Ning spent a day in San Francisco, a Chinese city, and then went straight to another big city in the United States: Los Angeles, one of the most famous cities in the United States, and when it comes to this city, we have to mention another place name: Hollywood, the birthplace of global fashion and music, and the center of the world film industry! If the biggest obstacle to the development of the entertainment industry in Zhongzhou and even other countries around the world will encounter, it must be Hollywood, through the comparison of materials, Shen Ning even feels that the Hollywood here is more powerful than the Hollywood in his hometown. Especially when it comes to movies.

There are more than 1,000 film-related companies here, including 8 of the world's top 10 film production companies, Hollywood, and the world's most powerful film special effects production, equipment development, director and actor...... Hollywood's films have swept the world, and no one can beat Zhongzhou is also a superpower, but it is far behind Hollywood in terms of the film industry, so that the national level has to issue various documents such as "Cultural Industry Standards" and "Import and Export Film Specifications" to protect the development of local films.

But in the face of Hollywood's powerful power, such an approach has always had little effect, which shows the charm and erosive power of Hollywood movies. Today, Shen Ning also came to Hollywood, without any hostility and criticism, he admired the law of the jungle, and there was nothing to say about the law of the jungle. The Hollywood film industry is so big that if you want to find a film company in Hollywood, you still need to take a tour bus here, Shen Ning got on a tour bus and told the driver a small place name.

About ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a small three-story building. In the flowery Hollywood, the building looks very inconspicuous, the façade decoration is a little dilapidated, with a thick sense of history, and there is only one sign: Blue Sky Digital Company. Walking in, the lobby is as simple as the façade, and there is only one staff at the front desk. Seeing this, Shen Ning couldn't help frowning. "Hello sir, may I have anything to do to help you?" However, the boring female employee at the front desk was very dutiful, and when she saw Shen Ning, she quickly stood up, smiling and very enthusiastic.

"I have an appointment with Mr. Cameron. Shen Ning said. Blue Sky Digital is the only company under the name of super-director Cameron, a fact that only a few people in Hollywood know, and no one understands why Cameron, who has devoted his life to the film industry, has spent a lot of energy in the past two years to run this small company with little income. Sure enough, hearing Shen Ning say Cameron's name, the front desk lady knew that Shen Ning was not a tourist who came in presumptuously, and after asking Shen Ning's name, she hurriedly and enthusiastically led him to the third floor. In a large room on the third floor, Shen Ning saw Cameron, the great director still seemed to be full of energy, and was speaking for the people around him in a loud voice.

"Mr. Damon, special effects movies are likely to be the direction of future cinema development, and even an important criterion for distinguishing super movies from ordinary films, in order to welcome this era, I gathered this group of like-minded young people two years ago, they are the best talents in film special effects!" "Yes, we already have a certain ability to make a work that shocks the world, and this great pioneer film, the script is in the hands of you Fuchs. Cameron looked excited, and the man named Damon nodded, but the expression on his face was hesitant, and he didn't seem to agree as much as he seemed. Cameron also had helplessness on his face. "Shen, you're just in time!" Seeing Shen Ning, Cameron's eyes swelled with a trace of excitement, and he hurriedly greeted Shen Ning, and said in his mouth: "I think in this super disaster movie, the two of us are the only confidants, and some people have great careers but don't have such a vision as you." ”

It is worthy of being a super director who gives others face at all when he speaks, the man named Damon touched his nose, but he couldn't help but say: "Master Cameron, it is precisely because our Fox family has a big business, so we have to be more cautious, if an investment fails, maybe this Mr. Shen will only lose money from film investment, and we Fuchs will suffer a chain reaction and lose more money!" "As the president of Fox Films, I must consider the interests of shareholders and shareholders. "I know your difficulties, but I can't wait any longer, I hope to have a preliminary result today!" Cameron understood Damon's difficulties very well, but his tone was still domineering, and he asked directly at Shen Ning: "Shen, you said on the phone that you were willing to invest 50 million and 100 million dollars in this movie, and when it was prompted that the account was successfully credited with 150 million, Cameron and Damon were slightly relieved. Not to mention, they were really a little afraid that Shen Ning wouldn't be able to come up with the money. Now that this young man from Zhongzhou still has no change in his face, they can finally rest assured.

"Now, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Damon took the lead in picking up the red wine glass, Cameron and Shen Ning also stood up and touched it, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation!" Officially confirmed the cooperative relationship, the atmosphere was quite good, Shen Ning couldn't help but ask: "Director Cameron, you are sure that it will only take 8 months to complete the shooting, I mean don't need to be in a hurry." When it comes to his own money, Shen Ning also cares now. Damon also nodded hurriedly, 8 months to shoot a movie is considered a standard time to shoot a movie, but to shoot a super blockbuster, and there are many new technologies involved in it, he also feels a little anxious. "Hehe~ You may not understand, I set up Blue Sky Company to shoot the Titanic, in the past year, we have simulated more than 100 times in the shooting direction and props production and post-processing, but due to lack of funds, we can't really do offline realization, but I believe in our technology and preparation, 8 months is enough!" Cameron laughed like a child, less of the style of the previous masters. But at this moment, Shen Ning and Damon couldn't bear Cameron's face sank like water, but his heart was angry, he didn't expect that he had already said this, and Damon was still unwilling to make additional investment.

The production budget of 250 million is only a preliminary calculation, and to really finish the filming, it must be conservative at more than 300 million, and he decided to seek investment from several other film giants. Although this is bound to affect the friendship with Fuchs, he can't care about that much. "I can afford the rest of the funding gap, provided I can get a corresponding return. Just as Cameron was about to speak, Shen Ning interjected. "Shen, are you sure you have the ability?" Cameron looked at Shen Ning seriously. The latter nodded slightly: "I'm sure." Cameron's eyes flickered, and he clapped his hands: "Okay, since Fuchs is not willing to make additional investment, then I am willing to accept your investment, as for the account split...... Mr. Damon, Shen, you two can talk. Damon looked at Shen Ning with a strange face, he just thought that Shen Ning's additional investment was polite like Cameron, but now it seems that this guy is really very confident.

Investing $200 million in a movie, looking at the world, is a crazy move, even if he invests in the movie of super director Cameron!" "Mr. Shen, how do you think it is appropriate to divide the account?" Damon asked tentatively Shen Ning said without thinking: "What do you think about dividing the account according to the proportion of investment?" "Impossible, this is impossible!" Damon immediately shook his head and said angrily: " Mr. Shen's account is not calculated like this, we are also responsible for the distribution of the film while investing in Fuchs, which is a key job, and only we at Fuchs in the world can do it perfectly!"

"Yes, at least by far Fuchs is one of the best companies for film distribution. Shen Ning nodded with a look of my approval, and then looked at Damon and shrugged: "But even if the whole of Hollywood is valuable, I don't know how much your company's capabilities are worth?" Damon opened his mouth and wanted to come up with an astronomical amount, but in the end he couldn't have the cheekiness to shout out, because even people who have no judgment ability understand that the distribution cost of a movie will definitely not exceed 100 million US dollars.

With no more than $1.1 billion, Fox would not be able to take the initiative in the proportion of account sharing, which is an unacceptable result for the huge Fox Films. They have to be in absolute control. "Mr. Damon, I want sixty percent!" Shen Ning did not look like a modest Zhongzhou man at this time, he was a little aggressive. Damon still shook his head: "No, no, no......" "What if I say that I invest purely in my private name, and the movie is still dominated by your company?" "This ......" Damon's face changed slightly, and he looked at Shen Ning with suspicion: "Mr. Shen, are you sure?"

"I'm sure I'm just interested in as well as as being a hobbyist and exploring filmmaking with Cameron masters. Shen Ning looked indifferent, although he really wanted to hang "Titanic" in the name of his own company, but this is obviously impossible, not to mention that Fuchs is unwilling to lose the dominance of the film, just say that he is completely the sole proprietorship of "Titanic", just rely on Cameron's influence alone, whether this great work can achieve great box office results, and it is really mysterious He really wants to have a relationship with "Titanic", but it is not to the extent of losing money and making money. Shen Ning's proposal for such a cooperation method made Damon feel acceptable, after all, Fuchs only needs to come up with $100 million and mature operational means to obtain the dominance and 40% of the benefits of Master Cameron's super blockbuster that he has been preparing for several years.

Most of the risks are transferred to this rich Oriental, and their risks and benefits are controlled to the maximum, no matter how you look at it, it is cost-effective!" "Okay, if Mr. Shen is willing to write the conditions you said into the contract, we are willing to accept such a way of cooperation!" After pondering for a while, Damon was also very refreshing. At this time, Shen Ning was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Damon, don't you need to go back and discuss again?" "No need, I have this right." Damon looked proud. "That's great, let's sign the contract today, I've been waiting too long!" Cameron was overjoyed, fearing that Shen Ning and Damon would regret it, and immediately proposed to sign the contract. Westerners pay attention to the spirit of the contract, and the work will not start if the contract is not finalized for a day, Damon has been paying attention to Cameron's super movie for more than 2 years, and he should have understood it thoroughly, and he did not officially cooperate with Cameron before because of the huge production costs, and now there is a wronged boss who promised not to fight for power to participate, and he is naturally welcome to sign the contract.

Shen Ning also said very simply that he could, not to mention that he is full of confidence with 400 million US dollars in his hands now, but also to say that his prediction of the future box office of "Titanic" is also eager to implement it as soon as possible. The three parties are anxious, and the next thing is much easier, Fuchs has a special person responsible for drafting the contract, according to the oral description of the three of them, a contract was soon started, and the three of them talked about this contract for a long time to improve some details, and finally each signed their own name to have a holy family! "What do you say?" Shen Ning beckoned to a man looking around, and asked curiously as he followed him into the car.

"The way of recording and broadcasting can't make the show end as scheduled, after our program team has studied and decided, the next will be broadcast in the form of live broadcast, which means that this will test the live strength of all singers, and your good and bad will be seen by the national audience. Zhou Tao's tone was a little excited, and after a pause, he said: "Of course, it is also a considerable challenge for our production team, but we have enough preparations, and now we need you to express our position." "What do other singers say?" Shen Ning became interested, the live broadcast was not a little more enjoyable than the recorded broadcast, and the program team was bold. "Tan Liang An Biru agreed a few times, and a few disagreed, we will not force the singer, but we have our own rules of the game, so I can only say regret if I don't accept it. Zhou Tao's tone is quite tough, too, after all, it is Jingcheng TV, so there is no need to be too accommodating to the singer.

Shen Ning nodded clearly, and said on the spot: "Okay, when will the first issue start after the restructuring?" "On Saturday, the title remains the same, it is still the topic of the previous issue, get ready, well, you can be bold......"
