Chapter 1263: The Jedi Strikes Back
It's trying to kill you. **-** depends on how much money you have to buy, and then you just add enough to eat a fat man in one go. When you're indigestion, I'll clean you up. On the other hand, it's hard to eat, don't you give me food, see if I eat it or not. I'll eat as much as you come, and when I'm all done, you won't have anything to eat.
Under the premise that such a Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, and one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, "Forest Movie Screening Room." The number of movie screens owned has jumped exponentially, and in a short period of time, Ellison has acquired more than 20,000 screens. When the media and the audience reacted, the "Forest Movie Screening Room" owned by Lin Feng and Ellison already had half of the movie screens in the United States. One in five movie screens in the world.
When I learned this. When the message was written, all the notes * were taken aback. You know, a movie projection company has 20,000 movie screens. In a sense, it is equivalent to controlling the exercise of film rights. With control over the film terminal projection market, it can be said that whichever movie you want to be a hit, you can make that movie a hit. After all, if you don't let it go, no matter how good-looking the moviegoers are, they won't be able to watch it. And no matter how bad the movie is, you play it all day long. The audience has to watch it even if they don't watch it, after all, when it comes to love, watching movies is always indispensable.
Could it be that the "Oscar League" is ready to disarm and surrender? All the West* was amazed.
Haha, Lin Feng's trick is wonderful! Didn't your "Oscar Alliance" want to block Lin Feng, and now Lin Feng doesn't need to talk to you about any background, connections, jishu and the like, just use money to open the way, this is the so-called "heavy sword without edge" in Chinese martial arts. "In the face of absolute strength. Gods and horses are all floating clouds!
In contrast to the fact that Nakkaishi* was cheering for their respective supporters and waving their flags, the audience in the United States suddenly felt very sad. You two big companies are fighting, for us ordinary people. The most important thing is to be able to have a good movie to watch during your leisure time. Be able to beat the time. But now, why is it so hard for us to watch a movie? It's either that there isn't one, or it takes a few blocks to have a movie theater to show it, what kind of world is this?
It turned out that the "Ossfan Alliance" hoped that Lin Feng and Ellison would continue to buy it, and Ellison really hated it this time, he was sure that as long as someone sold it, he would definitely buy it, and for this reason, Ellison was also ready to take the "Oracle" in his hands. The company's shares went to the mortgage to find a bank loan. In this regard, Lin Feng was really a little shocked. Originally, Lin Feng just wanted to earn a vote when he played a movie. Make some money, and by the way, make some of the haode you watch very much into a movie.
But I didn't expect it to be so big this time. I invested 100 million dollars before and after, completely exhausted the funds in my hands, and sold them continuously." All the dollars I earned were invested. also asked Li Zekai for a total of 100 million US dollars, plus the previous acquisition of "Baidu and Yahoo." shares, Lin Feng also owes "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, small close to the blade billion." It's a debt.
And Ellison, like himself, also got in with the cash of the measured dollar. It can be said that aside from the shares they have now, both of them are clean and slippery.
But now Ellison is crazy. Can Lin Feng not go crazy? Obviously not! If that's the case. I'm afraid Ellison will turn his face on the spot. It was Lin Feng who pulled Ellison into the most unfamiliar film circle in Ellison, and out of his belief in Lin Feng, Ellison made an indomitable investment. As a result, now, Lin Feng is no longer playing, and you say that Ellison will turn his face.
Damn, one day no one will die! I will die in the sky! Well is deep out, Joseph, as long as I don't die this time, I will play you to death! Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, Lin Feng also fought hard, and directly used his "Wal-Mart" shares to borrow 100 million US dollars, ready to devote himself to this acquisition at any time on the road of no return. Anyway, Lao Tzu has enough shares, even if it is "Tilma." This Tian lost 100 million dollars, and he didn't do much damage to himself. As for the owe to the "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China." The blade of billions of dollars in debt, as long as "Baidu Bank." Dan listed, Lin Feng personally held the "Baidu Yahoo." Mutual shares, a little selling, is enough to pay off the debt. In Lin Feng's memory, the global movie box office market will only get better and better in the future, Lin Feng can, I don't believe it, I control the global movie theater market, plus so many familiar movies in my mind. There will be a deficit. Before the rebirth, although Lin Feng's family was poor, because of a computer and thanks to the great piracy in China, he watched almost all the movies that were listed before the rebirth. These movies add up to the total global box office. At least two or three billion US dollars, Lin Feng still doesn't believe that he will lose money.
Fight, fight, and see who dies in front!
But just when Lin Feng and Ellison were about to make a big move, the U.S. Department of Commerce intervened. For the intervention of the U.S. Department of Commerce, whether it is Lin Feng and Ellison, or the "Oscar League" with "Sony Columbia Pictures" and "Twentieth Century Fox" as the head. "It's all very dissatisfied. Both sides want to kill each other, and once and for all, they will never suffer again. However, the U.S. Department of Commerce fears that the bloody battle caused by this acquisition will eventually cause great social unrest.
Of course, to put it bluntly, he is afraid that Lin Feng will win in the end, so that American movies will be completely controlled by Lin Feng. This is something that US officials never want to see. Therefore, they must intervene in order to live whatever happens. At least half of the U.S. film market is still in the hands of Americans. Although half of the equity of "Forest Movie Screening Studio" is in the hands of Ellison, an American, even if "Forest Movie Screening Studio" buys all the movie theaters in the United States, in terms of shares, Americans still occupy half of the market. But don't forget, this damn Ellison was a Russian immigrant Jew, not an out-and-out American.
Under the strong intervention of the US Department of Commerce, although the "Oscar Alliance" was also dissatisfied, it finally agreed. After all, Lin Feng's funds in his hands are almost the same, and they are also worried that Wan Liu will really make a small mess this time, and Ellison and Lin Feng will fight to fill it with the money earned from other industries. Then the two sides will really have to fight for internal strength. So, to be on the safe side," the Oscar League. I agreed.
And after agreeing to a temporary settlement between the two parties, one party does not sell the cinema, and the other party does not buy the cinema. The "Oscar Alliance" began to completely ban the exercise of film rights on the 20,000 movie screens owned by the "Forest Cinema Screening Room". Let Lin Feng and Ellison control the total Sun Li household appliances
Therefore, there is a sad side that makes many viewers who usually like to watch movies feel sad. Because they suddenly have no movies to watch.
"Lin, are you going to do it now?" Ellison was now in a state of explosion. This was the first time he had called in so much money to accomplish something. So he can't afford to fail. Either succeed or, before failing, he destroys everything, including himself.
"Ellison, don't worry. The line we put is long enough, "Slingshot." It's bent enough. It's time to fight back! It's the day of the first flight of "Heroes", Ellison, it's time for us to fight back!" Lin Feng slammed the table.
Ellison's right fist was also swung hard in the air. They invested so much money if they didn't fight back. He's going crazy.
In the United States, April Kou Day, the release date of the first flight of "Hero", is also the release date of this zuihou part of this long-form film that has been criticized since its release. As always, at the first screening of "Hero", it was still full. And the number of moviegoers, with the increase in the number of movie theaters acquired by the "Forest Movie Screening Room", its number is also more than 10,000 people. But compared to 20,000 movie screens. With more than 10,000 seats, this is the number of moviegoers. It's only half of the seats.
However, in the flagship theater of the "Forest Movie Screening Room" in Luo Yuan, it is still full. Moreover, this time, not only all the original actors of "Hero" attended one by one. And Lin Feng also invited a large number of guests.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California, also put aside all government affairs. For the California governor, an American legend, all the audience burst into warm applause. Subsequently. It is several big-name stars under Lin Feng's "Second Entertainment", Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Mariah Kelly and others also appeared on the stage, and each sang a famous song to build momentum for the first film of today's "Hero".
Subsequently, the main player of the "City of Angels" Luo Yu, the darling of the city, the main player of the Los Angeles Lakers, has the title of "rank, O'Neal, Kobe. Ma Long, Peyton is also because of Lin Feng's invitation. They all came to cheer for "Heroes".
"Haha, Lin, your "Hero" doesn't seem to have a good evaluation, but don't worry, I support you!" O'Neill grinned and patted Lin Feng's shoulder with his big palms.
"Hehe, O'Neill, don't forget your words! "Hero" still needs you to cheer more!" Lin Feng is also daxiao.
Follow the memory. If the Lakers don't win the championship this year, they will definitely fall apart. At that time, O'Neill was a sweetheart. I just don't know if I'll be able to eat it. If you can eat it, O'Neal Dagger, my god, my own Houston Rockets inside combo. Of course, the difficulty is not only that even if you can't get O'Neal, you can sign Malone and Payton in front of you. Thinking of this, Lin Feng naturally did not forget to greet these two people.
As for Kobe, Lin Feng can only think about it. This is not to say that Kobe Bryant is not good enough, although Lin Feng already has Zhan Yaos and Wade, Kobe is still the strongest player in Zhao at present. There is absolutely no doubt about his strength. But Kobe Bryant will never be left behind. I am afraid that it may not be a blessing to get it like this. Kobe, who has grown up completely, even Jordan may not be able to suppress it.
Of course, although Lin Feng thought about the future of his Hughes Rockets at the moment, he did not forget that today's theme was "Heroes". After showing a little enthusiasm to the Yang members, Lin Feng went to receive the other guests. You must know that for this absolute counterattack, Lin Feng invited all the celebrities he knew. Lin Feng wants to use their prestige and credibility to stage a Jedi counterattack!
Subsequently, all the players of the Houston Rockets came together, Jordan, LeBron Toms, Wade. The arrival of Yao Ming and others made the audience also exclaim. Especially with Jordan's arrival, the audience automatically stood up, although this is not a basketball court, Jordan's influence in the United States is ubiquitous, and his fans are all over the world.
Of course, the arrival of the Houston Rockets also made the Lakers' "Yang" snort coldly. You know, the two teams are now in the top two of the league, and the gap is only one goal, and under the premise of the home and away advantage in the playoffs, the two sides are naturally a little tense.
Subsequently, the attendance of Tom Cruise, Spielberg, James Mellon and other Hollywood superstars and gold medal directors made the atmosphere of tonight reach the first. The applause continued to ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for your support for this feature-length film, thank you very much! Lin Feng bowed deeply and thanked him.
A round of applause.
"Today is the zuihou part of the twenty-third part of "Hero", so I won't say more. Hereon. I only wish for a little. If you think it's good after watching "Heroes", please log in to "Defense." website, write down your impressions, for every viewer who is willing to log in and post their impressions, you will get a "Hero" souvenir, and a total of *10,000 lucky viewers will be randomly selected to get a full set of "Heroes". A. Lin Feng said sincerely.
When Lin Feng finished speaking, the eyes of all the audience were hot. Those who can come to the cinema to watch "Heroes" and have been watching "Heroes" consistently must be die-hard fans of "Heroes". For "Heroes" full set of rigid. Naturally thirsty for knowledge.
After all, director Spielberg worked hard to shoot "Hero", and I hope it can get a fair evaluation. And now, all the media in the United States have commented on it, and I can say by no exaggeration, that it is unfair. So. I hope you can give Heroes a little bit of justice. Lin Feng bowed again.
This time, all the audience cheered in unison. They are all die-hard fans of "Heroes", and they have been extremely resentful of the injustice suffered by "Heroes" before, but no matter how they protest and complain, those mainstream American newspapers still go their own way. This made everyone extremely helpless. As for the Internet leak, as long as they express posts about "Hero", they will be deleted quickly, or *will be screened, and they can't use search engines to find any angry "Hero" fans about "Hero".
Now, Lin Feng provides this "defense." "Then they'll have a mouthful.
Immediately, in the expectation of all audiences, the first part of "Hero" Zuihou kicked off.
After a few minutes, the entire audience stood up and cheered for this epic feature-length masterpiece
Wonderful, so wonderful!
Then. "Oscar League
"Joseph, "Hero" is finally finished, and we still suppress it according to the old way. In a few days, when the "Hero" craze has passed a little, I want to see what Lin Feng uses to save his cinema. He is not afraid of indigestion. Izumi sneered.
"The well is deep. It's up to us to do the same things we used before. But that's it. This time, once the "forest movie screening room is too small to hold on, the auction of its cinemas* We "Twentieth Century Fox, but we have to pick a few movie theaters first". Joseph has already begun preparations to divide up the "Forest Film Screening Room." Its desire cinema.
On the same night, though. Lin Feng has already made an appointment with the bosses of major mainstream media in the United States and held a video network meeting.
"Tycoons in the media industry, please take care of me when we meet for the first time!" Lin Feng said.
Many bosses looked at each other, although they have always left their hands behind the newspaper, but they also know that their own newspaper has recently launched a public opinion sniper on Lin Feng's "Hero" filmed with an investment of 800 million US dollars, which made its box office income very bleak. And the bosses were curious, and they also went to the cinema to watch "Hero". Although many bosses have not watched a few "Heroes" because of their work, they must admit that "Heroes" is indeed an excellent feature-length movie, and if it is not the best in history, it will definitely not receive such a bad evaluation.
And after understanding, I also understood that it was the "Oscar Alliance" who was behind the ghost. Forced by the "Oscar League." Shili and support for local American companies, coupled with the trend of interests, many bosses have turned a blind eye. In the face of absolute interests, why not put aside the professional ethics of fair reporting by news organizations for the time being?
Therefore, Lin Feng asked them to meet today, and most of them knew it.
"Recently, the newspapers under the major bosses have taken good care of my little brother!" Lin Feng said with a meaningful smile.
Many bosses were slightly embarrassed, but remained silent. At this time, no one will be stupid to admit it, this must be admitted. That's not waiting for revenge, and there is no place to avenge justice!
"You're all smart people, so I won't say anything more. In short, I hope that tomorrow in the newspaper of your newspaper, I will be able to see a fair evaluation of my "Hero" Lin Feng put forward his own requirements.
"Mr. Lin, we're just newspapers, those freelance writers or *those film critics. But it's their business. I believe that when each critic is commenting, he or she is also commenting with his or her own understanding of the film. Mr. Lim, I feel that we should trust their professional authority. A man said coldly.
Lin Feng looked at it, this person should be the president of the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal is part of Murdoch's "News Corporation." And himself and Murdoch, of course. The main reason is that Mrs. Murdoch and Wendi Deng are not friendly enough.
Lin Feng smiled coldly. This Na Wendi, but he has been looking for trouble for himself. Now I can't hurt my hands, and when I get my hands free, I can see how I can fix her. Don't think that if you climb Murdoch, you can do whatever you want.
"Of course, I won't ask the bosses to give me this privilege out of thin air, I will buy a section from you at the price of advertising rights to make comments, I don't know what the bosses think?。 Lin Feng asked with a smile.
The media tycoons were moved. After all, they only run a newspaper, and the most important thing is to make money, and there is no reason for the sake of the "Oscar League." And go to offend Lin Feng head-on. After all, "the Oscar League." But it didn't do them any good.
"By the way, these commentators are all well-known. For example, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, such as O'Neill, such as Tom Cruise, and even British Prince William, etc.!" Lin Feng threw another chip.
The faces of many media tycoons have begun to jump. If you know the comments of these well-known people, it will increase the sales of the newspaper. However, if so. That "Oscar League." It's a bit hard to explain over there. But if you reject Lin Feng in person, it will be a bit troublesome. They were also afraid that Lin Feng would really fight them with them when he was annoyed and angry. Of course. Lin Feng alone can't challenge the entire media industry, but Lin Feng picks one of them, and Lin Feng definitely has this ability. Not to mention an Ellison. At the beginning, Lin Feng didn't find them. Naturally, they could muffle their fortune on the sidelines, and now that Lin Feng came to the door, they couldn't pretend not to know.
In a dilemma!
Lin Feng didn't rush at the moment, he believed that these media tycoons would make a decision that would be beneficial to each of them.
After a long time.
"Mr. Lin, although I am the boss. But it's up to the editor-in-chief, and I'll talk to him about how to decide. The owner of USA Today said.
"Yes, Mr. Lin, that's what I mean. Other media tycoons have said so.
Lin Feng smiled silently. Obviously, the editors-in-chief of the various media outlets will then call them to negotiate prices and layouts. However, there were also surprises for Lin Feng. That is, the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal rejected it on the spot. These two newspapers are owned by Murdoch's News Corporation.
In this regard, Lin Feng also snorted coldly. As long as the other media tycoons agree, as for these two. Less of them, no less.
"By the way, Ellison, what's going on over there? Lin Feng asked.
"Haha, Lin, no problem, let's wait tomorrow to watch the show!" Ellison Daxiao.
For this Jedi counterattack, Ellison and Lin Feng have made a lot of money! But as long as they succeed, the future benefits will definitely be dozens of times that of now!
