At this time, Lei Shidong's National Entertainment Company was a 400-screen theater chain, which was considered to be an upper-medium scale in North America, but because of its geographical problems, Lei Shidong's National Entertainment Company has not received much attention in Hollywood.

And Lei Shidong, who experienced the fire and was reborn from the fire, changed his previous conservative style and was preparing to expand wildly, but Rong Le explained his thoughts thoroughly, how could he not be surprised.

However, Lei Shidong has an extremely tough personality, so even if it is possible that Rong Le has explained his thoughts in his heart and the monstrous waves in his heart, Lei Shidong still behaves calmly and talks and laughs.

"Mr. Rong, all this is a beautiful vision, but no matter whether I can integrate some other theater companies or not, as long as I cooperate with you, I will definitely offend the Seven!" Lei Shidong said, he actually did not object to cooperating with Rong Le, as for the soft ban of the Seven, he had already investigated it clearly before he went to the appointment, and the soft ban of the Seven Majors was more aimed at Shahai Entertainment's investment in Hollywood films.

The investment share of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "ET" owned by Shahai Entertainment is the reason why they really target Shahai Entertainment, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has proved his ability to attract money with two films, and "ET" is the ambition of the great director Spielberg, but this kind of income has to be cheapened to a film company owner in Hong Kong, which made them reach a temporary alliance.

And although Lei Shidong is only a marginal theater boss in Hollywood, the 400 screens in his hand still make everyone pay more attention to it, targeting Shahai Entertainment, but they will not be angry with the National Entertainment Company!

Since agreeing to meet with Rong Le, Lei Shidong has sent someone to investigate Rong Le's situation, knowing that Rong Le is in the far east, has created his own business empire, and in his twenties, he can create such a huge fortune, Lei Shidong can't help but sigh, but this also makes Lei Shidong more interested in Rong Le's industry in North America.

Although it is uncertain whether Rongle's industry will succeed in North America, it will not delay Lei Shidong from taking a share of Shahai Entertainment.

So Lei Shidong's purpose is actually similar to George Lucas's, they all want to take a stake in Shahai Entertainment, if possible, they even hope to be able to annex Shahai Entertainment, as for Rongle, isn't it good to toss their own industry in the East!

In the later conversation, Rong Le also knew Lei Shidong's thoughts, and had already rejected George Lucas's Rong Le, so naturally it was impossible to agree with Lei Shidong's idea of joining Shahai Entertainment.

Although Lei Shidong's achievements will be much stronger than George Lucas in the future, he is the boss of one of the world's most famous media groups, but Lei Shidong's desire to control is extremely strong, for the control of Viacom, he can divorce his wife successively, his son will turn against him, and his daughter will turn against him, if such a person is introduced to Shahai Entertainment, it will definitely be a disaster for himself.

At this time, Rong Le also knew that he still thought about things simply, the people in this world are all living people, not the NPCs of a certain world They all have their own thoughts, so it is impossible that because they are reborn, they will do it according to their own ideas, and the idea of forming an alliance with Lei Shidong at the beginning is still too simple.

However, Rong Le did not negotiate with George Lucas, after discovering Lei Shidong's purpose, he directly refused to continue the negotiations, because Rong Le did not lack movies to produce, just like Rong Le had signed a truck driver director and the governor of California before, as long as they were in their own hands, Rong Le's Shahai Entertainment would not lack good movies.

However, Rongle lacks its own distribution channels, and without distribution channels, no matter how good the movie is, it is impossible to make money.

In the end, Rong Le proposed a solution, allowing Lei Shidong to share part of his investment share in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and at the same time operating "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3", which will start filming in the future, will be released in Lei Shidong's theaters, but Lei Shidong is not allowed to invest in Shahai Entertainment!

As for how Lei Shidong operates the United States' distribution monopoly law, Rongle will not care, and in return, after Lei Shidong integrates his own theater chain, he needs to screen the movies produced by Shahai Entertainment himself.

Lei Shidong thought about it for a while, and finally agreed to Rong Le's proposal, after all, now it seems that this is the only win-win result.

After dealing with Lei Shidong, Paul Brown came to Rongle's office.

"Chairman, have you already negotiated with Lei Shidong?"

Rong Le nodded and said, "That's right!"

Paul Brown said: "Chairman, there is something I must remind you!"

Rong Le saw Paul Brown's serious expression, so he asked in a deep voice, "Do you have something to say?"

"Chairman, I believe that after this time, you also know that Hollywood's xenophobia is very serious, and now they are still only eyeing your investment share of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "ET", so the intensity is not too big, and it is only the most basic target of Hollywood, if we Shahai Entertainment want to get involved in the production industry in the future, it will be okay if it is not successful, if it succeeds, then Hollywood will let you really see what is called a real blockade, and it will be more difficult for Shahai Entertainment at that time!"

Paul Brown believes very much in Rongle's ability to see people, so he is also willing to believe that "The Terminator" invested and produced by Rongle will have the possibility of a box office hit. But at that time, it will not be the Seventh, but the entire Hollywood will target Shahai Entertainment.

Hollywood's xenophobia has never been just talk.

Rong Le was silent, he was more optimistic before, as he had thought before, controlling a part of the North American theater chain through Lei Shidong, and having the ability to produce in Hollywood through Shahai Entertainment, but now it seems that these two plans have to be modified.

First of all, Lei Shidong is not a figure who can be controlled by others at all, otherwise he would not become a media tycoon in the future.

"Paul, what if our company had its own theater chain in North America?"

Paul Brown was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Rongle's ambition to be so big, and he wanted to build his own theater chain in North America, but what a simple thing is this.

"Chairman, if we have our own theater chain, then with Shahai Entertainment, we will touch the anti-monopoly law of the United States, and even if you invest in different names, Chairman, if we build our own theater chain, it will also be impossible to bypass Hollywood, because a Shahai Entertainment can't support the broadcast volume of a theater at all, and at that time, Hollywood's suppression of us will be even stronger, and they will never allow an external force to have such a big say in Hollywood. At that time, our production company will face a series of problems such as no actors, no directors, no screenwriters, etc., and there will be no films released in theaters!"

Paul Brown is definitely not an alarmist, he has worked in Hollywood for decades, and naturally knows a lot about the dark side of Hollywood.

It's never sunny here!

Rong Le smiled bitterly, after all, he still underestimated Hollywood, but Rong Le immediately came up with a countermeasure, and made a trade-off, saying: "These are all things in the future, don't worry about it for now, the most important thing for us now is to do a good job of the company's production of "Terminator"! If this movie is successful, then we will have bargaining chips with Hollywood!"

Hollywood's xenophobia makes it impossible for Shahai Entertainment to become a real giant in the past ten years, even if Rongle has countless stories of classic Hollywood movies in his hands, in this case, "Terminator" may become Rongle's breakthrough Hollywood's suppression of Shahai Entertainment.

At that time, even if Shahai Entertainment has a film contract between the governor of California and James Cameron, it will not be able to stop them from leaving, and at that time, Rongle is likely to end up with no personal wealth, so in this case, it is better to give up the production and concentrate on investment.

When the box office of the first "Terminator" comes out, Hollywood's Big Seven will pounce like a cat with a fishy smell, and then Rongle can use "Terminator" as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Hollywood, of course, one "Terminator" is not enough, because although the first part of "Terminator" has a very high income, the box office is not very high, and only when the second part comes out, it is the best time.

At the same time, if there is another classic series in Rongle's hands, then by that time, Shahai Entertainment will have enough chips in his hands!

During this time, Rong Le can also concentrate on developing his CAA plan, and at the same time wait for Lei Shidong to sell most of the theaters in his hands in order to acquire Viacom, and then take over Lei Shidong's theaters at that time.

At that time, even if Rongle's Shahai Entertainment withdrew from Hollywood's production ranks, it could still become one of the most influential people in Hollywood!

Paul Brown nodded and said, "Yes, if you want to negotiate with giants like the Hollywood Seven, you still have enough chips in your hands, and then we can attack, retreat and defend!"

Rong Le smiled and said: "Paul, in the year of Xiangjiang, your Chinese level has improved greatly, and you can already speak idioms!"

Paul Brown laughed, "Of course!"

Rongle: "How was the invitation with Michael Owaitz from the CAA?"

Paul Brown said indifferently: "It's been negotiated, CAA is just a small company, you can meet them, they will not agree there!"

Rong Le nodded and said, "That's good, let the company book ten tickets to Chicago for me!" Although he went to Chicago to negotiate with Michael Oweitz, Rong Le also wanted to take Hu Yinmeng to visit the United States!

After returning to the villa in Beverly Hills, Rong Le told Hu Yinmeng about the idea of taking her to Chicago, Hu Yinmeng naturally had no opinion on this, and Xuan Shifang hadn't enjoyed it enough, and at the same time, he was not ready to be a light bulb for the two of them, so he was naturally not ready to follow them to Chicago!

Speaking of Chicago, for sports lovers, the most famous is naturally Chicago's basketball team, the Bulls!

It is impossible to determine how many NBA fans Joe Da Hooligans and his gang have cultivated in the era of the NBA.

However, at this time, the Joe gang leader has not yet joined the Chicago team, and the current Joe gang leader should have just joined North Carolina, a proper little fresh meat.

At the same time, the results of the Chicago team in the past two years have not been good, and it has been in the lower reaches of the league.

Rongle met Michael Owitz during the Chicago team's home game. And Chicago's opponent is the Celtics, the strong team in the East of the NBA League!

The current NBA is the beginning of the black-and-white competition, and the legendary veterans Abdul-Jabbar, Dr. J, Moses Malone, etc. have not yet aged, so it can be said that it is the era of the heroes.

And the Bulls are still only at the junior level in the league, and they can't compare with strong teams like the Celtics and the 76ers.

So the game just ended in the first quarter, and the Bulls were already trailing by 6 points!

The six-point deficit in this era is not comparable to the 6 points in 40 years, and the NBA in 40 years later has lost their confrontation in order to cater to a part of the audience.

This can also be seen in the stars of these two eras, this era includes the later Joe hooligan era, and the post-Joe hooligan era, at that time, the NBA stars, even if not muscles, are also tough players, and the defensive level can be called hand-to-hand combat, and when it comes to the era of Rongle's rebirth, the rules of the NBA have become the consequences of blowing the whistle as long as there is physical contact.

Officially because of such rules, a group of pseudo-superstars have been created, basically at that time, Rong Le no longer watched the NBA, because the NBA at that time had no blood.......

Michael Owitz sat next to Rong Le and said with a smile: "Mr. Rong, I didn't expect you to invite me to watch an NBA game! Mr. Rong is a fan of the Bulls?"

Rong Le smiled: "Not yet!"

Michael Owitz embarrassed......

"I don't know what Mr. Rong wants to talk about this invitation?" Michael Owitz asked, he was a little confused by Rong Le's invitation, he knew something about Rong Le, knowing that Rong Le came from the mysterious East and had his own film company in Hollywood, but the situation in Hollywood was not very good recently.

Although CAA is now also a brokerage company, there are no good actors in the company, which does not help Rong Le's current predicament in Hollywood.

Rong Le smiled: "I don't know Michael, do you know that I have my own League One club in England?"

Michael Owits was slightly stunned, he really didn't know that Rong Le was still the owner of an English League One club!

"I don't know what Mr. Rong's club is?"

"Manchester United!" Rong Le said lightly.

Michael Owitz's strong memory reminds him of Manchester United's achievements this year, and after a change of manager, Manchester United are now in second place under their new manager Alex Ferguson.

"I didn't expect Manchester United to be Mr. Rong's club, which is really unexpected!" Michael Owaitz complimented, but he didn't know what Rong Le's purpose was!
