The box office of "Cold Mountain" is not very popular, it is only a little more than 100 million US dollars so far, but the reputation is quite good, and major news media have also reported a lot about it.

"The film's magnificent scenes and visual impact are definitely at the level of Hollywood commercial blockbusters, and people have to admit that this is a commercial blockbuster with Hollywood characteristics...... The poignant love that resonates with the heart, the love story of the hero and heroine in the film is definitely not inferior to "Titanic". ”――

Los Angeles Times

"The beautiful soundtrack, it is difficult for a film to use music to attract the audience, but "Cold Mountain" has done it, you can experience the essence of the film from hearing the music of "Cold Mountain", and people with a little music cell will feel: strong, holy, tragic, and magnificent...... Director William Chi is a world-class musician, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a master. ”――

"Variety"

Leaving aside the film's grand themes of survival and death, fate and choice, hope and loss, courage and fear, the clever and touching story alone is quite intriguing...... Cold Mountain is a wonderful mix of the epic "Odyssey" and "Gone with the Wind." ”――

USA Today ......

Throwing the newspaper in his hand on the desk, on which there were many newspapers and magazines from various families, Ji Mingzhe looked at Perry across the table.

"What do you say over there?"

Perry touched the few hairs left on his head and smiled nonchalantly at his question.

He knew that Ji Mingzhe was asking about the Oscars, and Perry, as the first vice president of the governing committee of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, was committed to building a good relationship with the executive committees of the fifteen guilds involved in the Oscar selection below. Coupled with MGM's special historical relationship with them, Perry got along well with most of them, especially the lifelong members.

"How else can I say that there must be care, and besides, they really need your $100 million a year sponsorship, but it can only be your films. ”

"Oh, can they make that promise?...... That's fine, Perry! I'm not a greedy person. Let's come and go!"

Chi has never been stingy with spending money, and MGM now hosts a bi-monthly networking party, inviting family members from major Hollywood companies and many Hollywood stars. The most important thing is to entertain some of the heads of the Oscar industry committees and those members who have weight, of course, the subsequent delivery of some small gifts is also a happy thing, it is impossible to give money directly, it is all some travel and vacation gift packages or something. Other major film companies also have a lot of complaints about this, but they can't criticize MGM's approach. Without MGM at the beginning, there would be no Oscar today, and Chi Mingzhe and they are just working to restore the love of the past.

"Boost the publicity of "Cold Mountain", when will it be released in other countries?"

Ji Mingzhe preheated a cigar on the lighter, tossed it to Perry, and quickly lit one himself.

"I remember telling you, William, five days later, yes, this time Bowell was also involved in the distribution. ”

"Disney's?"

The office was foggy at the moment, and Ji Mingzhe's face was also shrouded in blue smoke.

"Yes, that's the company. ”

"I remember that they had a bit of an unpleasant relationship with us before, how they got involved. ”

"It can be seen that we MGM want to go back to the top Hollywood studios. So we will definitely be interested in this movie, and we are in frequent contact with the Oscars, which in Disney's view is a signal that we want to win an award, and we may win an award. ”

"It's an attempt to repair relations with us. ”

When Chi Mingzhe bought MGM before, Hollywood film companies jumped out to make some small moves, although in the end they failed to stop the process of acquisition, but Chi Mingzhe was very resentful, and thought that there would be a chance to retaliate later, but now he decided to settle down for a while. He thought of the Disney Company and remembered DreamWorks Animation Studios.

"That DreamWorks animation studio thing. Do you have any arrangements?

Ji Mingzhe asked.

"I sent someone to Glendale to talk to them. It doesn't seem to be easy, they have no idea of selling it for the time being. ”

"Keep in touch, and I'll think of something else. ”

This year, Disney's "Finding Nemo" in North American cinema hit a box office of $3.4, which made all film companies secretly swallow and envy. This is only the box office in North America, if you count the release results in other countries and regions and peripheral sales, the income is even more considerable. However, when it comes to the production cycle and input costs of cartoons, many companies just give up after thinking about it. But Chi Mingzhe doesn't think so, having an animation studio in hand will have many benefits for the shooting of ordinary movies. At least the animation studio can also make special effects for movies, it's just that it requires a lot of investment, and he doesn't lack money.

After leaving MGM, Ji Mingzhe returned to Skyrim Records, looked at the girls who were practicing hard and expressed some relief, turned around and went back to the office to call South Korea.

"Hello!

"Hello!

Lee Jae-hyun was in a meeting at CJ headquarters, and when he received a phone call, he was surprised that few people knew his mobile phone number, and when the assistant told him that he was calling from the United States and that it was Ji Myung-cheol, he immediately got up and left the noisy conference room and came to his office.

Since the beginning of the financial crisis, major Korean companies have sold a large number of shares to major foreign financial investment institutions in order to survive the difficulties, and many of the original shares will not be diluted by financing. Samsung, CJ, Hyundai and other large companies have done this, and CJ's current head Lee Jae-hyun is even more headache at this time, his shares in the company are not enough for him to speak at the shareholders' meeting, and all kinds of dissent and quarrels make him have a headache, especially the representatives of those financial institutions in the United States, who are all looking for trouble, just to show a sense of guilt.

Lee Jae-hyun has been trying to get back those shares since he officially took over as chairman last year, but he is not too rich in terms of funds, just like those big companies in South Korea, CJ also wants to get involved in any industry, they used to be the largest food company in Korea, but they also have food and catering companies under their umbrella. Bio-pharmaceutical companies, logistics companies, and entertainment and media companies have a lot of business projects, which makes it difficult to integrate all the resources of the entire CJ Group. There are so many places where money is needed.

Although those major foreign financial companies have acquired the shares of these South Korean companies, they do not take these Korean companies seriously, after all, in their eyes, these are small companies, and they can only dominate in South Korea. Moreover, these financial companies and the forces behind them cause some financial crises around the world every decade or so. Reaping the fruits of other people's and other countries' hard work for many years, it can be said that money comes easily, and if Lee Jae-hyun wants to redeem his shares now, he must come up with real money, after all, no matter how small the mosquito leg is, it is also meat, but this real money Li Jae-hyun can't take it out now, so he can only continue to endure other people's fingers. Ji Mingzhe also made his fortune by this kind of banditry, although he only followed behind to pick up food, but over the years he has also gathered wealth that is beyond the reach of those Korean chaebols.

As soon as Lee Jae-hyun received a call from Ji Ming-cheol, his heart moved. He remembered that Hyundai Group survived with a loan from Ji Mingzhe. Can I also ask him for help?

"I wonder what advice President Chi has?"

"Don't dare to advise, Chairman Lee, I wonder if your promise was still valid when we signed a strategic cooperation agreement between Emperor Go-Skyrim Cinemas and CJ's CGV?"

"Well, Chairman Chi is talking about the shares of American DreamWorks?"

"No, Chairman Lee, I mean DreamWorks' animation studio, and you promised to facilitate our acquisition of this animation studio. ”

Lee Jae-hyun was relieved when he heard that he didn't want to buy their shares in DreamWorks, he was only the vice chairman when the cooperation agreement was signed, and he had to listen to his father Lee Mengxi, and he only knew the content of the agreement at that time and had no right to speak. He's optimistic about DreamWorks. Lee Jae-hyun still has an ambition for the entertainment industry in South Korea, but now CJ is compared to CMZ Investment Group, which specializes in entertainment and media. The gap is still very large.

"I remember, Chairman Chi, please rest assured that we at CJ are trustworthy and will do what we promised. ”

"Then thank you, Chairman Lee!"

I don't know if Chairman Ji will be free in November, but this year is the 50th anniversary of CJ, so I will invite you to join us at the ceremony. ”

Ji Mingzhe was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Wasn't this CJ separated from Samsung? Where did the 50th anniversary celebration come from, and then I thought that the Samsung family's disputes over property had never stopped, so I shook my head and didn't think much about it.

"Thank you, Chairman Lee, for the invitation, and I will definitely be here when the time comes. ”

"Then I'm waiting for you!"

Hanging up the phone, Lee Jae-hyun looked out the window at the scenery of Seoul and fell silent, he was very envious of Ji Mingzhe, he could control so much wealth at a young age, and it was all his own, no one could point fingers in front of him, plus his CMZ group specializes in one industry, there are not so many constraints and concerns, so the speed of development is very fast, and now there are SBS and two newspapers in hand, it can be said that it is the first entertainment media group company in the entire South Korea, and there is no one.

"President, please go and preside over the shareholders' meeting. ”

Lee Jae-hyun sighed and waved his hand to the assistant, asking him to lead the way. As soon as the door to the conference room opened, there was a cacophony of noises that made his brow furrow.

"We have to find a way to redeem those shares that are out. ”……

"Really, can we go back to Korea for Christmas?"

"Yes. ”

"Ahh......h

At noon dinner, Chi Mingzhe took these girls out to find a restaurant to eat, and then told them that they were going back to South Korea, and whether they would like to go back together, of course, in November, they would come back after Christmas. How can this be unwilling, many girls are homesick, so they become very excited one by one.

"William, can we not go?"

Mi-young and so-yeon asked together, their families are all in the United States, and they don't have any relatives in South Korea.

"Of course, your family is here, why are you going to South Korea?"

"Oh!"

But Zheng Xiujing wanted to go to South Korea for Christmas, so she pulled Ji Mingzhe to be coquettish and wanted to go back with him, of course, Zheng Xiuyan immediately objected, and Xiujing was made depressed. Park Ji-yeon was overjoyed, and when she returned to South Korea, there would be no one to compete with her for Oba.

In the evening, Chi Mingzhe came to Li Juli's room, chatted with her for a while, and then made a little intimacy and prepared to leave. I met Park So-yeon in the garden of the hotel.

"Oba!"

"Hmmm! just came back!"

"Yes, I went shopping with Xiaosheng. ”

Park Suyan's expression was downcast and generous.

She is 17 years old this year, she is a big girl at the sight, and her body is also very well developed, and she is already a good piece of meat in the eyes of the goldfish guy. For Baolan, Ju Li and Enjing, these older girls, Chi Mingzhe has not really spoken so far, just playing with them with a little intimacy, as for the last step, Chi Mingzhe said that he is thinking about it. But the difference in time is only before or after their debut.

"Mind or not...... Shall I sit in your room?"

"Don't mind. ”

Su Yan didn't refuse or object to Ji Mingzhe's suggestion, it seemed that she had expected it, but when she took the initiative to stuff the bag on her shoulder into Ji Mingzhe's hand and asked her to hold it, he didn't react.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Oh!

Ji Mingzhe felt that he and Su Yan had fallen off at this time, he became an attacker, and Su Yan became an attacker. looked at Park Su-yeon, who was swaying in front of her. Ji Mingzhe muttered in his heart.

"That's not the right rhythm!" (To be continued.) )
