After a detailed exchange with Li Feng, in addition to the acquisition of EMI, two new investment directions have been established, which are the basic investments of the entire industry.

Soon, the two excitedly said goodbye and prepared to go for the next formal acquisition of EMI and the contact and negotiation with Dolby and IMAX industry foundation companies.

Regarding the invitation to attend the signing ceremony of Baidai Company that the two said, Li Feng declined with a smile, Li Feng felt that there was no need to come out by himself, there were generals who could use it to make the first bird by themselves, and just be a low-key boss behind him.

In the next few days, time flew by, and Li Feng had a good time in Paris. Similarly, during the upcoming World Cup, the signing ceremony after the official acquisition of EMI did not cause much discussion and waves, except for people in the industry.

After all, the whole of France and even Europe is now talking about the World Cup, where do European people have the heart to care about EMI Films or something, Europe doesn't care, and the rest of the continents naturally don't care, but it has caused a little sensation in Hollywood, which can be regarded as avoiding a lot of trouble.

After all, Europe used to be the master of the United States, and often American companies can always cause a sensation when they acquire some companies with a long heritage in Europe, and some old brand companies in Europe always have huge influence in the upper echelons of the United States.

……

At that time, when the film industry was just rising, Europe was the center of the film industry, and at that time, European film companies such as EMI had a much stronger control over the world's film industry than today's Hollywood, and Hollywood at that time was in the back.

Similarly, several major media giants in the United States have also begun to get busy, if MGM was slightly weaker than the Hollywood giants before, then MGM and the giants have completely leveled the distance.

The acquisition of EMI means the rearrangement of the global distribution channel, which is very important for a Hollywood giant, these giants could not be clearer, although MGM has a huge reputation, but to be honest, MGM's strength in Hollywood is more than a step ahead of the rest such as Fox, Paramount, Universal, etc., the most important of which is that MGM has lost its global distribution network.

Today's MGM has expanded wildly with the backing of Tianyu, a well-funded media group, and completed the reconstruction of the global distribution network from Asia to Europe.

The sudden re-emergence of MGM, which was originally weak, will naturally have a new impact on the original Hollywood pattern, no wonder after MGM's acquisition of EMI, Hollywood has been a lot lively, and the shock in the industry is really not small.

……

On June 10th, the lively opening ceremony of the World Cup was held at the Stade de France, Li Feng and others were naturally ready, as the time approached, Li Feng and his party got on the team after some preparations, and headed towards the French Stadium.

Unlike the opening hours of the Olympic Games, the opening ceremony of the World Cup is only 30 minutes, and the opening ceremony is immediately followed by the opening match of the World Cup, and this afternoon is no different. In his previous life, Li Feng watched the World Cup for the first time, the opening ceremony and the opening game, all in the middle of the night, and now he came to France in person, starting in the afternoon.

Li Feng and his entourage are naturally tickets with VIP seats, although they are not the most central position with those football bigwigs, but they are also the VIP positions second only to these bigwigs, and they are also close to the positions of these bigwigs.

In his previous life, he was still very impressed by this World Cup, and there were many imprints, even now, Li Feng is still impressed, such as one of the theme songs of the World Cup - Cup of Life, but unfortunately another theme song of the World Cup sung at the end of the opening ceremony - 'Do you mind if I play football'!

For this theme song, Li Feng has only heard of such a theme song, and he doesn't know anything about the details, after all, there is also a theme song - the Cup of Life, but Lin Hai Tingtao's first football book is called 'Do you care if I play football'.

According to what Li Feng thinks now, it is estimated that Lin Hai Tingtao, the first person in the online sports category in the future, should have chosen the name according to the theme song of the 98 World Cup when writing the first book and choosing the title of the book.

Before the official opening match, Li Feng also received an invitation from the football bigwigs in the center of the VIP stand, Li Feng met and chatted with these famous football bigwigs in his previous life, and met the newly appointed FIFA President Blatter and the newly retired Brazilian, known as the king of football, Havelange.

Similarly, I also met with UEFA President Johansson and France's organizer of the World Cup, the future UEFA bigwig, and French football legend Platini.

I simply said hello and exchanged a few words with the rest of the people, but Johansson, the big man in European football, grabbed Li Feng and expressed his welcome to Li Feng to join the Premier League and European football, and congratulated and praised Chelsea's rise and achievements last season.

……

At the beginning of the opening game, Li Feng met the Brazilian team and the alien Ronaldo, and similarly, Li Feng saw the beautiful girlfriend of Ronaldo, who was impressed in his previous life, on the big screen at the scene.

In addition to some of the things seen at the opening ceremony, the opening match of this World Cup was not as exciting as people imagined, at the beginning the Brazilian team only took the lead in the first few minutes, most people thought that this would be a big victory for the Brazilian team, but in fact, on the contrary, perhaps the Brazilian team was careless, and finally it was just a 'hard' victory over the opponent, leading 2:1, one of which was an own goal.

For the memory of this World Cup, what impressed Li Feng the most was that in addition to France and Brazil entering the final and France winning the championship, there was also Croatia's 'dark horse' posture, which surprised the whole world.

Of course, what makes ordinary people even more happy is the rumor that the alien suddenly 'fainted' before the final, and in the end the alien was drowsy and not in any form in the final, and even the state of the Brazilian team from the beginning of the game was doubtful.

Although France was congratulated after the game, there were more rumors about the 'shady', and various rumors were rampant after the World Cup, such as it is said that after the World Cup, many players in the Brazilian team received 'rewards' from France, which were often millions of dollars.

Also, it is said that Da Luo drank his teammates' drinks before the game, which caused him to faint and even foam at the mouth, almost making people think that he was going to be reimbursed, after all, Da Luo was only 21 years old at the time, and he was elected as the World Footballer for two consecutive years, and his reputation is skyrocketing, and it is said that the 98 World Cup is Da Luo's road to 'preaching is king'.

According to the media, between money and fame, Da Luo undoubtedly chooses the latter, after all, the opportunity to become the king of the ball is in front of him, Da Luo will not give up, since you don't want to give up, let you be in no state.

……

Although later Da Luo repeatedly said that this was just an ordinary food poisoning, the "shady theory" is obviously much more newsworthy than simple food poisoning, and more importantly, there are facts to prove it, for example, in the second year of the World Cup, France canceled all of Brazil's debts.

As a reminder, France was Brazil's largest creditor at that time, just as China was the largest creditor of the United States imperialism in later generations, although the size of this debt was not the same, anyway, in the second year of the world, France unconditionally and quietly canceled Brazil's debts.

There is even a saying that France and FIFA, Brazil, etc. have already discussed to ensure that the next World Cup and the 02 World Cup, the biggest advantage of the Brazilian team on the field, and finally in the 02 World Cup, Brazil really did not meet a strong team from the group stage to the final final, as if escorting the final.

Of course, there are also Platini's later remarks about France's 'manipulation' in the World Cup draw, guaranteeing that France will not meet the big favorite Brazil before the final, etc., when these news came out, they were all rumored around the world for a while.

If these news are true, Li Feng can only say that the most depressed of them is the alien Da Luo, look at whether it is Brazil, France and FIFA, they are all beneficiaries, but the only depressed is Da Luo.

Originally, Da Luo was expected to be the king of the 98 World Cup according to the right path, and at that time, Da Luo was in full swing, and the whole world was praising his talent and praising him as a new generation of football kings. It's a pity that he missed the 98 World Cup, even if he won the championship in 02, but Da Luo was no longer the only king in world football at that time, including Zidane, Rivaldo and other supergiants have risen, and the reputation of these people is not inferior to Da Luo, and the quality of the preaching has been widely questioned.

The football kings of later generations, the general concept is that there are 2 people, Bei Crow and Ma Dazui, and under these people, there are many supergiants including Da Luo, Zidan, Cruyff, Beckenbauer and so on.

……

In Li Feng's view, these rumors may not be groundless, but they have not formed the mainstream, how can it be possible if they want to be innocent, the World Cup, international football, etc., there are too many resources and wealth available, and there are a few people who can maintain their innocence.
