The lion opens his mouth!

Although Rong Le was ready to give up part of his interests to George Lucas and Spielberg, he didn't expect them to target Shahai Entertainment!

Rong Le's expression was a little serious, and he gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and George Lucas and Spielberg did not urge Rong Le, and the two sides fell into a short calm.

After a short period of calm, Rong Le suddenly smiled and said: "Although the red wine here is good, I still have some top-notch wines in Xiangjiang, and there is a chance for the two of you to come to Xiangjiang, I invite you to taste it!"

Spielberg was slightly stunned, and just wanted to say something, but was stopped by George Lucas with his eyes, and then George Lucas smiled at Rong Le: "Then there is a chance, Steven and I must try it!"

At the subsequent dinner, the two sides never talked about the ban again, but told some anecdotes, and the whole dinner seemed very harmonious!

After the meal, George Lucas and Spielberg got up to say goodbye.

After the top parted at the door of the hotel, George Lucas and Spielberg were in the car, and Spielberg asked incomprehensibly, "Why did you stop me just now?"

Although Spielberg's directing ability is much stronger than George Lucas, he is several positions behind George Lucas in terms of business development.

"Now that Rong Le has just come to Hollywood, he doesn't have a clear understanding of Hollywood's boycott, and he must still have fantasies in his heart, so he will refuse us to take a stake in his Shahai Entertainment, and only after he falls on his heels in Hollywood can we gain the upper hand in this negotiation!"

"But I heard that Rong Le's company in Hong Kong has Paul Brown, who was the production manager of 20th Century Fox and has a certain influence in Hollywood!" Spielberg said.

"It doesn't matter, Paul Brown, just have his own connections again, that's just in the past, this time Hollywood's boycott of Shahai Entertainment is not something that Paul Brown can turn the tide! So Rongle, he can't find any other alliance in Hollywood besides us!" George Lucas said confidently.

Spielberg laughed, "That's good!"

Rong Le returned to the hotel with a gloomy face, and Paul Brown was already waiting for Rong Le at the hotel at this time.

"Chairman, I've called my friends, but the harvest is not good, this time the Hollywood Big Seven seem to be determined to boycott Saha Entertainment, and I heard that MGM is still in it. Paul Brown is also a little depressed, after returning to Hollywood today, he immediately contacted his former friends, but the feedback was very bad, and no one was willing to come forward for him, but Paul Brown still heard some news!

"MGM?" Rong Le was slightly stunned and asked, "Do you know why MGM did this?"

Paul Brown said, "It seems to have something to do with the acquisition of Lianyi in the first place!"

Rong Le understood that Rong Le had the intention to acquire Lianyi, but in the end he gave up, but this did not prevent Lianyi Company at that time from using Rong Le as a cover to increase the purchase price of MGM by 20%, which should be the reason why MGM is targeting Shahai Entertainment today!

Seeing that Rongle was silent for a long time, Paul Brown continued: "Chairman, this time the matter should not be underestimated, if we can't find a breakthrough, it is very likely that our Shahai Entertainment will not be able to participate in the seven major film investments in the future!"

Rong Le suddenly asked, "Are you saying that there are only seven majors?"

Paul Brown said: "Yes, Hollywood is different from Xiangjiang, Hollywood not only has seven majors, but also countless independent production companies, which cannot form a complete unification at all, so Hollywood can never really be completely blocked, but the benefits generated by the films shot by independent production companies are simply compared with the large-scale productions of the seven major productions!"

"If we Shahai Entertainment want to make a difference in Hollywood, we must participate in the seven major production films, otherwise we will never become a climate in Hollywood, Hollywood's independent films, the probability of failure is too high, if the investment fails in a few in a row, the loss is unimaginable!"

Paul Brown analyzes the form of Hollywood for Rongle, and the reason why the Seven can be called the Big Seven is not only that they control more resources than other companies, but more importantly, they have rigorous judgment skills for whether the film is successful, which greatly reduces the probability of their movies failing at the box office.

But Rong Le is a bright eye, because he is not an ordinary person, with the aura of a reborn, for Hollywood movies, although he is not a senior enthusiast, but he can also clearly remember those classic Hollywood movies, although most of these movies are from the Seven, but a considerable part of them belong to the pearls of the sea, if Rongle can master these pearls of the sea, then the resistance of the Seven Greats will be self-defeating for Rongle!

"If the film invested by our company is released in North America, will it have an impact because of the boycott of the Seven Congresses?" Rong Le asked.

"There must be an impact, but now that the anti-monopoly law has already been introduced, although the impact of the seven congresses on theaters will be there, it will not be too big, but it is definitely impossible to get attention as soon as it is released!" Paul Brown replied.

Rong Le nodded, not surprised by Paul Brown's answer, the Seven can be called the top existences in Hollywood, because they can have unparalleled influence on all aspects of Hollywood!

"You've worked in Hollywood, do you know a cinema manager named Lei Shidong?" asked Rong Le.

Paul Brown has worked in Hollywood for decades, and he naturally knows very well about Hollywood, saying: "I know, he is a theater manager in the Boston area, but his theater chain does not contain many theaters, and he does not belong to the mainstream Hollywood theater manager!"

Rong Le smiled: "It's good to know him, you help me contact him, invite him to Hollywood, I have something to talk to him!"

At this time, Lei Shidong had not yet made a fortune, and he was not a media tycoon who later acquired Viacom, Paramount, and Columbia.

Paul Brown said: "It shouldn't be difficult to invite Lei Shidong to LA, but Lei Shidong doesn't necessarily dare to follow us against the Seven, and there aren't many theaters he controls, so I'm worried about him ......."

Rong Le said: "You don't have to worry about this, I naturally have a way to convince him, and at the same time, you have to help me contact a director named James Cameron, he should have just directed a movie "Piranha 2" last year, and now he is at home, you help me make an appointment with him to the company!"

Paul Brown joined Rongle's strategic planning office last year, and he really has no impression of James Cameron, who has just emerged at this time.

However, Paul Brown has no impression of James Cameron, but Shahai Entertainment has been in Hollywood for some years, and Paul Brown can ask Richard Parker, the current general manager of Shahai Entertainment.

Rong Le continued to instruct: "In a while, you will tell Richard to find an actor named Arnold Schwarzenegger in Hollywood, he should still have some fame in Hollywood now, it is not difficult to find, invite him to the company for me too!"

When Paul Brown was in Xiangjiang, he knew that Rongle would often make such sudden decisions, but every decision could bring unexpected effects to the company.

Finally, Rong Le asked, "One more question, Paul, how much do you know about the CAA agency?"

Paul Brown recalled: "CAA Agency, just an ordinary agency in Hollywood, was founded in 1975, their founder was Michael Owitz, who was William Morris Agency at the time, but then co-founded the current CAA Agency with Ron Mayer, William Harbour, McRosenfeld, and Roland Berkins for conceptual reasons!"

Paul Brown didn't know what kind of existence CAA would grow into in the future, especially after entering the 90s, CAA would gradually grow into the world's largest brokerage company.

Its artists include Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman, George Clooney, Sandra Bullock, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, David Letterman and a series of other star-studded stars.

At the same time, CAA is also actively entering other fields, including sports, and most of the best athletes in various fields are also CAA people, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Mourinho, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, etc......

At the same time, in 2009, it was praised by Fortune magazine as "the most influential company in the entertainment industry".

At this time, CAA has not yet developed, and they have not yet invented a way to participate in Hollywood's film operation, so naturally they have not yet grown into the seven most hated companies in Hollywood!

**In the 10s, the production cost of Hollywood skyrocketed, of which the existence of CAA is a very important part, and even some Hollywood studios attribute the main reason to CAA.

Now that the Seven Congresses are going to suppress Rongle, Rongle doesn't mind giving the Seven a salary draw, as long as Rongle can control a part of the theater chain in North America, and at the same time hold the world's largest CAA brokerage company in his hands, and then add Shahai Entertainment, an independent film company, then when the time comes, the ban on Rongle by the Seven will be the biggest joke.

At that time, although Hollywood will be able to conquer cities around the world, it will also have to accept the existence of the invisible boss Rongle within them!

Of course, all of this cannot be achieved overnight, it all needs a slow stage of development, such as Lei Shidong's theater chain, which may not necessarily cooperate with Rongle, and CAA does not have to accept Rongle's investment, even if it does, those signed actors of CAA have not grown up yet.

At the same time, Rongle also has to guard against the ban on CAA by the seven major Hollywood congresses, and the current CAA is just a small flat boat, which can't withstand the wind and rain at all.

Therefore, the cooperation between Rongle and CAA must be carried out in secret.

Rong Le said: "You help me secretly meet with Michael Oweitz, the manager of CAA, uh, just ask him to meet in Chicago! The date with him is set behind Lei Shidong, and I want to meet James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger first!"

Paul Brown said, "I see!"

............

Arnold Schwarzenegger is now just a little-known actor in Hollywood, Arnold Schwarzenegger is Austrian, in 1970, he came to Hollywood, and filmed "Hercules in New York" but it didn't cause any repercussions at all, plus his English with a strong Germanic accent, he can only run around in Hollywood.

It wasn't until 1977 that he participated in the documentary "Iron King Kong" to gain some popularity, but it was very little, at this time he can be said to be only better than the lowest actors in Hollywood, and even received an invitation from an adult film company.

But today Arnold Schwarzenegger suddenly received a call from a production company called Shahai Entertainment, which made Arnold Schwarzenegger very excited.

At the same time, Arnold Schwarzenegger told his friend the news, but he knew from his friend that Shahai Entertainment is now being softly banned by the Seven, but Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't think about it so much, it was a matter at the top, and it was impossible to affect Dao himself at this level, and even if he didn't agree to Shahai Entertainment's invitation, the Seven would not give him an appointment.

Therefore, Arnold Schwarzenegger still agreed to the invitation to meet with the boss of Shahai Entertainment after knowing the attitude of the Seven National Congress towards Shahai Entertainment.

When he came to Shahai Entertainment, after Arnold Schwarzenegger reported his name at the front desk, he thought that the boss of Shahai Entertainment would see him immediately, but he didn't want to be told that the boss was now meeting with a director and asked him to wait for a while.

Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to leave with his sleeves brushed up, he thought it was Shahai Entertainment's disrespect for him, but thinking of his current situation, Arnold Schwarzenegger finally sat obediently in the reception room and waited for the reception of the boss of Shahai Entertainment!

The director who met Rong Le was naturally James Cameron, the famous Tsar Truck Driver director on the set in later generations!

"Mr. Rong!" The current James Cameron has not yet developed that kind of domineering spirit, and his domineering spirit is mostly exposed on the set, outside the set, especially for the boss of a film company like Rongle, James Cameron does not have the confidence to come.

"James, please take a seat!" Rong Le said with a smile, the two movies that have to be mentioned in the film history of "Titanic" and "Avatar" are all from this director, and Rong Le is naturally no stranger to him.

Before this, James Cameron didn't know that Rong Le was that, but when he received the invitation from Shahai Entertainment, he still checked the information, but today's technology is not developed, and there are very few reports on Rong Le in the United States, so James Cameron just knows that Rong Le is a mysterious Oriental billionaire who has invested in the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series in Hollywood, and is also the owner of the world's largest game company, and he doesn't know anything else!

However, these titles are enough to make James Cameron put down his posture.

After complimenting James Cameron's Virgo "Piranha 2", Rong Le said: "James, I have a story here, which has been registered with the Hollywood Writers Guild, but the script and story are not too perfect, I hope you can help me polish it, and I am ready to invite you to be the director of this movie!"
