"Who is so powerful?" asked Peng Yichen curiously.

Joseph said, "David Ellison." ”

Peng Yichen was stunned for a moment and said, "The top management of a Hollywood film company or the major shareholder?"

Joseph shook his head and said, "No, he is the actual owner of one of the largest film and television investment companies on Wall Street." ”

Peng Yichen's face sank when he heard this, and he said coldly: "Are you still testing me until now? I have already said that I will not cooperate with the forces of Wall Street. ”

Joseph knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Although this company is based on Wall Street, its owner is not those financial 'vultures'. His father was Larry Ellison, chairman of the board and founder of Oracle. Therefore, the source of funds for this film and television investment company is all obtained from Internet companies. It has nothing to do with the major funds and consortia on Wall Street. ”

At this moment, Peng Yichen was suddenly a little confused, he was even more unfamiliar with the Internet companies in the Star Flag Country, and he didn't know what David Ellison came from.

At this time, Sun Yizou explained to him softly beside him:

"Larry Ellison is one of the richest people in the Star Banner Nation, and in addition to his stake in Oracle, he also owns a lot of shares in Internet companies. Therefore, in the IT world, his influence is huge.

In addition, this tycoon is known for his high-profile and willful nature in the Star Banner Country.

He likes to spend a lot of money doing whatever he likes.

In order to support his pair of children who love movies.

He gave each of them control of a film investment fund of more than $1 billion, allowing them to invest in their favorite movies as they pleased.

Although in the past two years, the movies invested by this brother and sister have basically ended up at a loss. But their financial strength and resources in the Internet industry are still beyond the reach of any Hollywood company. ”

Peng Yichen was a little strange and said, "Okay, this David Ellison is indeed very rich. But what does this have to do with our film PR. ”

"It's a big deal!" Robinov finally spoke, and he explained to Peng Yichen with a smile: "This David Ellison somehow owns shares in at least five of the seven major Hollywood companies. At the same time, he secretly acquired more than 5% of the shares of Hua Na Pictures. More importantly, he was able to help us gain access to a huge network of publicity channels that could be used to offset the advantages of the Hollywood Seven in traditional media. ”

In other words, as long as this David Ellison is co-opted, Peng Yichen and Robinoff can directly have the capital to fight against the seven major Hollywood companies, and even have the opportunity to acquire DC Comics under Hua Na.

Thinking of this, Peng Yichen couldn't help but be a little excited.

In this way, Robinoff's situation within the Warner Group should have been very bad, so he had to fight for foreign aid like himself and David Ellison to help him and Bix's henchmen compete for the right to operate Huana Pictures.

Fortunately, the more fiercely the power of Wall Street and the power of traditional Hollywood filmmakers compete, the greater the benefits he can receive.

Peng Yichen doesn't care who is the boss in the end of the Xingqi Country Film Market, what he wants is just to put his name deep here.

In that way, no matter who becomes the boss in the end, there is nothing to be done about themselves.

"In that case, let's go meet this David Ellison. Peng Yichen really wanted to see this famous "loser" in Hollywood.

He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, although this person lost money in the movies he invested in at the beginning, but in the end, once he found the unspoken rules of Hollywood, he quickly became the most successful investor in Hollywood, and finally even became a big man who could influence the seven major film companies.

Joseph was delighted and said, "Okay, then I'll drive you there." ”

Peng Yichen saw the joy in Joseph's eyes, and said in his heart, this Joseph doesn't seem to be necessarily the same heart as Robinov.

I guess David Ellison is the one behind him.

To put it bluntly, today's so-called meeting is just to whet your appetite.

And then lead to David Ellison behind him, and even Larry Ellison behind him.

Peng Yichen thought to himself in his heart, it seems that the film industry of Xingqi Country is deep.

These Star Banner Country merchants are all human spirits, and it seems that they must add more snacks in the future.

After getting off the headquarters building of Legendary Pictures, several people got into the car that Joseph had prepared in advance.

As soon as Peng Yichen was ready, Joseph, who was sitting in the front, began to introduce him to David Ellison.

"Director Peng, before you meet Mr. David. I would like to start by explaining to you the power composition of Time Warner Group today and Mr. David's position at Warner. ”

Peng Yichen nodded and said, "Okay, you can say it." ”

To be honest, although Peng Yichen had lived in the Star Flag Country for nearly ten years, he was just an ordinary high school student at that time.

In those years, his mind was spent on stage performances, and he had no understanding of the various forces and power structures in Hollywood.

Knowing that last year, he began to plan to acquire Hua Na's DC Comics, and only through various channels did he get a general understanding of the equity composition of major Hollywood companies.

As for the factional strife within Time War, he doesn't have any sources at all.

Before today, he only knew that Hua Na had the Wall Street faction represented by Bickers and the traditional filmmakers represented by Robinoff.

Today, I learned that there are still centrists like David Ellison, and as for the comparison of strength between these three factions, he doesn't know very well.

can only know through the memories of his previous life that Robinov was finally squeezed out of the Hua Na inner circle by Bix.

It shows that the traditional filmmakers are definitely inferior to the Wall Street faction.

Joseph didn't know what Peng Yichen was thinking, and continued to explain: "Although Warner Pictures has changed hands several times in the past few decades. But in fact, Mr. Robinov is the guarantor of the quality of the film. He has always adhered to the belief of 'creating works that leave a good impression on people', and is not very interested in commercial interests.

"The Bodyguard", "Unforgivable", "The Fuse", "Black Horse", "Electronic Love Letter", "Time Travel" and "The Matrix" produced and filmed by him are all classic Hollywood movies. Therefore, Mr. David is very optimistic about Mr. Robinov, and finally controls the filming rights of Hua Na. Of course, if Mr. Peng Yichen joins, Mr. David will be more relieved......"

Joseph's face was full of energy, as if David Ellison was already the president of Time Warner.

Although Peng Yichen had never seen this David Ellison in his heart, judging from the results of Robinov's expulsion from Huana in his previous life.

The son of this rich man did not respect the art of cinema as Joseph said.

Peng Yichen prefers to believe that this well-known Hollywood film investor in the future is just a speculator who is always willing to stand on the side of the winner.

Just as Peng Yichen was listening to Joseph's explanation, Joseph's voice suddenly became low:

"It's a pity that Bix's bastard, after Time Group acquired Warner, Mr. David's voice in the company became less and less.

Bickers, who represents the power of Wall Street, has a lot of money at his disposal. He put Warner Pictures on a purely market-driven approach to filmmaking...... All innovations in the art of cinema are banned......

Mr. Robinoff's "Zombie Bride", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Blood Diamond", "Letter from Iwo Jima" and other highly artistic classics are far from competing with the "Harry Potter" series and the Hobbit series hosted by Bix...... Bix's henchman Kevin Tsujihara, who signed the film rights to "Harry Potter" before other film and television companies, played a decisive role in the competition between the two factions. ”

Hearing this, Peng Yichen finally understood why after Robinov was kicked out of Hua Na in his previous life, Kevin Tsujihara immediately became the president of Hua Na Pictures.

In just over 20 minutes away, Peng Yichen had already thoroughly figured out the inside story of the struggle at the top of Hua Na through Joseph's introduction.

Before getting out of the car, he glanced at Joseph very meaningfully, and said to him with a smile: "Mr. Joseph, as the CEO of Legendary Pictures, I feel that you know more about their situation than many people inside Hua Na. After reading Mr. David, he must also want to make a difference in Hua Na Company. ”

Joseph knew that Peng Yichen had already figured out why he told him so clearly about Hua Na's situation.

David Ellison is not a spectator.

He also always wants to find an opportunity to enter the market and 'have a hand'.

And the huge success of Peng Yichen and his films in the North American film market obviously made this ambitious rich second generation find a better entry point.

……

The struggle between Robinov and Bickers was, in the final analysis, a struggle over the company's film projects and copyrights.

Without a money-making film project, no investor will support you.

Bix now has the great British director Christopher Nolan, as well as the "Harry Potter" series that he and his henchman Kevin Tsujihara are responsible for, and the "Hobbit" series, which has been successfully signed.

On Robinoff's side, there are two other powerful directors, namely the genius Tim Burton and the veteran director Eastwood......

In terms of the comparison of the film development capabilities of the two sides, Robinov has indeed been comprehensively suppressed by Bix.

The Harry Potter series hosted by Christopher Nolan and Allen on Bikes' side is thriving.

On Robinoff's side, Tim Burton and Eastwood have not been as good as they could have been in terms of the quantity and quality of films they have made in recent years......

This is also one of the important reasons why Robinov spent so much energy to win over Peng Yichen.

The quantity and quality of Peng Yichen's films in recent years, whether in China or Xingqi Country, can be regarded as the top level among directors.

Peng Yichen knew in his heart that in fact, he might not be very important to Bix's row now.

But for Robinov's faction, he is an important weight that can help them and Bick equally.

And David Ellison, as the representative shareholder of the centrists, his opinion is the most important at the moment.

To put it bluntly, David Ellison wants to see Peng Yichen this time, not necessarily without testing his strength, to see if the combination of Robinoff and Peng Yichen can defeat Bix's faction.
