Through Joseph's introduction, Peng Yichen became more and more clear about the internal power struggle of Hua Na.

But as the world's largest film and television entertainment company, the internal structure is certainly intricate.

In his previous life, Peng Yichen had heard more than once that the senior management of Hua Na had been kicked out of the company.

At this time, he suddenly remembered another important person who had a close relationship with Hua Na.

I couldn't help but ask Joseph: "I heard that the relationship between Peter Jackson and Hua Na is also very ambiguous. When he was filming the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Hua Na originally considered investing, isn't that so?"

Joseph sighed. The news was true, and Mr. Robinoff was indeed interested in filming the Lord of the Rings series at the time.

But Bicks was afraid that the investment in this series of films was too large and the shooting cycle was too long. He was unwilling to take the risk of the film, so he was adamantly opposed to Hua Na accepting the project.

Later, Robinov had no choice but to hand over the adaptation rights of the film to the new line company, which had a good relationship with him, and finally they made the film......"

Joseph sighed regretfully: "If Mr. Robinoff's "The Lord of the Rings" was filmed by Warner, then now Mr. Robinoff has a project in his hands that can make money for a long time. The fight between him and Bix would not have been so passive. ”

Peng Yichen asked: "Is the new line company on Robinov's side?"

This question stumped Joseph, after all, he was only the CEO of Legendary Pictures, and he didn't know much about the real core things inside Hua Na.

He had only heard that the shareholders behind the new line company were very powerful, but they were not inclined to help any force within Hua Na......

Suddenly, Sun Yizou, who was standing beside him, spoke: "The shareholders behind the new line are the capital groups of the British Kingdom, and they are the same as David Ellison, whoever is the winner, they will help whom." ”

Sun Yizou saw Peng Yichen and Joseph's surprised eyes, and explained with a smile: "One of my former customers is the daughter of the largest shareholder of New Line. So I know a little bit about the new line. ”

Peng Yichen knew that Sun Yizou had been in the Star Flag Country for so many years, and he must have some of his own news channels, so he didn't ask any more.

In this way, the shareholders of this new line, as well as David Ellison, are the centrists that Robinoff must win over at the moment......

Joseph didn't ask much, took Peng Yichen and Sun Yizou into a manor, and said with a smile: "Okay, we have arrived at the place, let's go see Mr. David now." ”

Peng Yichen turned his head and saw that he was in Beverly Hills, less than 1 km away from the villa in Bix, which he had been to last time.

It seems that these Hollywood bigwigs all have their own houses in Beverly Hills.

The three of them walked all the way into the manor, and as they walked, Peng Yichen thought in his heart about how he should respond and talk after meeting David Ellison.

Soon, several people walked up to a Japanese-style villa.

It is said that Larry Ellison was very fond of the culture of the Japanese country, so his villas were often built as Japanese-style villas.

To Peng Yichen's surprise, the interior decoration of this villa is also very simple.

In the outermost hall, there are many works of art from the Wa Kingdom, but the floor and roof are made of ordinary bamboo.

It looks very fresh and elegant.

A few people walked up to the second floor and into a lounge dedicated to receiving guests.

The whole decoration style has changed to American modern style.

There is a huge conference table in the middle of the lounge.

The table was littered with boards with various movie storyboards, superhero fights, aircraft carriers fighting alien spaceships, and a couple kissing.

Peng Yichen thinks that his current movie storyboard has been drawn very well.

But compared to the ones in this house, his storyboard scripts are simply very ordinary.

These storyboards even give him a sense of art.

In admiration, Peng Yichen only noticed at this time that in this double-storey duplex lounge.

In the lounge on the upper floor, there are many people studying props and models for filming.

There are also many people like filmmakers or screenwriters who are loudly discussing the script.

At first glance, there are dozens of people working in this lounge doing various movie-related jobs......

Peng Yichen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, even a "rich second generation" with the nature of playing tickets has so many behind-the-scenes workers in his villa.

It is conceivable how many film-related professionals have been cultivated by the seven major Hollywood film companies plus so many small film companies and independent film companies......

I was feeling emotional, and suddenly I heard a young man's voice coming from the lounge hall on the second floor.

"Is it Mr. Peng Yichen who has arrived? I'm very sorry, I missed the welcome!" A somewhat broken piece of Chinese came down from upstairs.

Peng Yichen and Sun Yizou were taken aback.

Joseph smiled a little smugly: "Mr. David is a language genius, he can speak six Chinese. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young man in casual clothes coming down from the upper floor.

Although his face was full of youth and enthusiasm, the young man's manners and manners were very in place.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I love your movies so much. "Twelve Warriors" and "Life is Beautiful" are my favorites. David Ellison stood politely in front of Peng Yichen, took the initiative to reach out and shake his hand, and smiled in English.

"Thank you, it's a great honor that my film can bring you a little pleasure. Peng Yichen also politely replied to David.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Peng. I have a film project on hand right now, so I have more people in my family. I didn't receive you well. ”

David said as he led the three of them to a small room on the side and asked them to sit down.

He looked at the clock on the wall and said with a smile, "It's lunch time, let's talk while eating." You want to eat something. ”

As he spoke, a maid walked in from outside the room, took three menus and distributed them to Peng Yichen, Sun Yizou and Joseph.

The three of them were indeed a little hungry at this time, and they were not hypocritical, so they ordered some things for themselves.

They didn't have to wait long before a couple of maids pushed a large round dining table into the lounge.

The dining table is set right in the middle of the four people, and everyone has a comfortable space to eat.

The food and drinks were all ready, everyone ate and drank for a while, chatting about some interesting things that have happened in Hollywood recently.

When everyone had almost eaten, the topic turned back to the theme of Peng Yichen and their visit to David today.

First of all, it is about whether David is willing to help "Life is Beautiful" with Oscar public relations.

More importantly, the question of whether the Hua Na neutrals led by David are willing to cooperate with Peng Yichen and Robinoff to fight against the Wall Street forces led by Bix.

"Mr. Peng, I already know what you are here today. About the Oscar PR, I can promise you. I can use all my abilities to help you improve your chances of winning the Best Foreign Language Film award. But I want to be able to participate in investing in your next sci-fi movie, and that's what I want. David Ellison took the initiative to open the conversation.

Obviously, he is not the kind of businessman who has to pay for it, but has the courage of his father to spend a lot of money.

Peng Yichen thought about it, the next sci-fi movie was originally promised to be filmed in a joint venture with Hua Na, and now with the addition of a David, it can also restrict Hua Na's capital, and at the same time reduce the analysis of film investment, why not.

"No problem, I can agree to your conditions. Peng Yichen looked at David seriously and replied.

"Okay, I'll hand over the investment ratio and revenue share to the company's manager to talk to you. I won't say much about it here. The following is the main reason why we are here today. That is where Hua Na belongs in the future. David's eyes sparkled with greed.

"I don't know where you belong to Hua Na in the future, what are your high opinions?" Peng Yichen saw that this was an ambitious rich second generation, and he was by no means the kind of person who was willing to be the queen.

"My idea is very simple, I can help Robinov and you get control of Hua Na, but I ask that I have the right of first refusal for all investment projects in the future. David said with a smile.

Peng Yichen groaned for a while, and said with a smile: "Mr. David, this is not something I can say. ”

"It's okay, Robinov's side, I'll coordinate. I am most interested in Mr. Peng's future investment projects. So as long as you agree. The cooperation between the three of us is even if it is reached. David replied with a smile.

Peng Yichen doesn't know if the conditions proposed by David will have any impact on the development of Hua Na in the future, after all, he doesn't know much about many of the operating rules of Hollywood.

So he didn't dare to agree to the other party's conditions immediately.

"Mr. David, the stakes are high for our cooperation, and I already know your conditions. But I need to go back and think about it for two days before I can give you a definitive answer. Peng Yichen responded apologetically.

"It's okay, you can go back and think it through. That's all for today. I still have some film investment to deal with. David Ellison stood up and ended the conversation.

Peng Yichen and Sun Yizou stood up after him, said goodbye to David, and left the manor.

Joseph, the CEO of Legendary Pictures, didn't go with them, he stayed with David.

When Peng Yichen and Sun Yizou returned to their hotel in Los Angeles, it was already past 10 p.m.

The two men discussed David Ellison's terms, but they didn't have a clue.

We can only wait until tomorrow morning to talk to Robinov about it, and maybe we will get an answer.
