Chapter 121: The Idea Is Good, It's Just ,,,
"Xiang Sheng, I understand your eagerness to change the situation, but many things are not something you can change if you want to.
For example, if you change the investor of Colombia from Sony to your Xiang, the result today is still the same, although Hollywood does not have explicit xenophobia, but the implicit racial discrimination and xenophobic policy exist in its original form.
Sony acquired Columbia and successfully entered Hollywood, but what was the result, the total loss in the first five years exceeded $3 billion, of course, it survived with the $10 billion reserves prepared by Sony, but as the behind-the-scenes boss of Colombia, has anything changed in the short men who are more popular in the United States than the Chinese?
Their so-called export culture is nothing more than sending a few people to play the role of soy sauce in many movies and then boasting about it in domestic newspapers, even if sometimes the role is very suitable for Orientals, they will become Caucasian or Latinx under the modification of the screenwriter.
Unless China's economy takes off, and when it can completely compete with the United States, this situation may change, but have you thought about it, how long will that time be there?"
George looked at Xiang Thirteen, who was a little eager, and said calmly, CAA is just an economic company, although he is very strong in Hollywood, but it still will not change in the general trend, unless the economy and market in the East become what they urgently need, everything will remain the same, and there will be no change because of one person.
"Qiao Sheng also has the blood of the East in his body, so he didn't think about making some changes in the past?"
George's statement to Xiang Thirteen is not incomprehensible, and he also knows that what George said is true, but he has other ideas in his heart, and when he made this decision, Xiang family understood that they were fighting against fate and making an example for the export of oriental culture, so as to strive for more impressions and changes in the eyes of more people, so as to truly accept them, instead of using them and supervising them as they are now.
This feeling of being covered with a cage on their heads made them very uncomfortable, and in order to lift the cage and reins, they could only grit their teeth and make changes that they knew were impossible, even if they were doing it, only in this way could Xiang really appear in the sun.
It's just that George's firm attitude makes Xiang Thirteen see no hope, of course, this time is just a temptation for them, and he doesn't think that George will agree to their purchase behavior at the first contact.
"I will do something within my ability, that's all, in the general environment, people who go against the trend will not have good results.
I like the film you mentioned, I really like his films, I will have people contact him, listen to his ideas, help him as much as possible, and other things,,,,,,"
George shook his head, stopped talking, took out his cigarette case from his pocket, pulled out one and lit one, and looked at Aomen, who was already in sight.
George has to admit that Xiang Thirteen's vision is very poisonous, once he really succeeds in acquiring the shares of CAA in his own hands or others, CAA, which is thriving in Hollywood, will become the new umbrella of Xiang Jia, there is no doubt about it.
A Xiangjia with roots in Xiangjiang and a company with a stake in the cultural communication base of the Hollywood world, which has a stake in Xiangjia, will receive completely different treatments.
Even if he doesn't do anything, as long as he firmly holds the shares in his hands, no matter how the film and television circle of Xiangjiang changes in the mainland's film and television circle, he is still the undisputed leader, even if he doesn't make a movie, others can't shake his status, they can also walk in the sun completely free, and the influence of the media is no different from a nuclear bomb in many cases.
It's just that this wish is about to be frustrated, and the symbolism of CAA to George is greater than the practical significance, and it is a part of him that he cannot give up.
At a special place cleared out of the Aomen Wharf for today's Xiangjiang celebrities, George said goodbye to Liu Daxiong and the Xiang brothers, got into a car that Liu Daxiong had transferred when he was on the boat, and let the driver take him to wander around Aomen at will.
After buying a camera at a camera shop, George was led by the driver to start a tour of St. Paul's, the ruins of the former Fortress and the former site of the Senado Plaza, and finally stopped at Fisherman's Wharf and invited the driver to have a sumptuous dinner.
Although later generations have come to AOMEN when they travel to Xiangjiang, it is just that Macao at that time is a completely different feeling now, and AOMEN at this time still has a Portuguese flavor, and after more than ten years of development, AOMEN in later generations has completely faded away from the Portuguese style to a large extent, and there is a tendency to sweep this century-old humiliation into the garbage heap.
Moreover, the connection between AOMEN and the mainland is much closer than that between Xiangjiang and the mainland, and under the strong governance of several chief executives of AOMEN, an AOMEN completely different from the past stands in front of the world.
After coming here twice, George's most intuitive feeling is that it is clean, it is always so clean, and the sky is much bluer than the Xiangjiang River, which is very livable compared with the congestion of the Xiangjiang River.
After a seafood feast, George asked the driver to take him to the Hotel Lisboa, the first time he had ever entered the casino.
At the door of the casino, George was excited like a child, posing in various poses for the driver to keep taking pictures of him.
After entering the casino, George changed 10,000 chips and gave the driver 2,000 yuan as a tip to accompany him today.
George started his gambling journey before the slot machine, but he found that he really didn't have any talent for gambling, and threw down more than 2,000 chips, without hearing a sound, and then switched to Russian roulette, and then threw all the chips into it in the excitement of madness.
George, who originally thought that he could get a little comfort, could only reluctantly accept such a result, and then saw a variety of gambling methods in the gambling hall, which opened his eyes.
For more than two hours, George walked around the casino and thoroughly saw what madness is.
Although there was no gain, but when he left the casino, he still took pictures, the only pity is that the interior is not allowed to take pictures, and he is not allowed to take pictures of the various poses of the gamblers he sees.
The moment he got in the car and went to the venue of the party, George turned his head and took a deep look at the casino standing there, wondering if he was also here to have fun when the new gambling cards were issued and the monopoly of the He family was completely broken.
Before the return of Hong Kong and Macao, in that chaotic era, there was an unwritten rule that the family with the gambling hall represented the strength of a family to some extent, and also represented the status of the family.
The same is true in the West, for example, after the Hilton family acquired the Ramses Casino, the real solid second-rate or even third-rate family took a big step forward, and really had a ticket to enter the top circle.
