"Perhaps, but I want to make it clear that your financial advisor is definitely a qualified financial advisor. Buffett also picked up the red wine glass, took a sip, and then he continued: "Berkshire Hathaway is about to make some big moves, and you will see the stock in your hand soaring......"

"I believe what you invest. Walter replied firmly.

"We'll see. ”

……

In the early 70s, the U.S. stock market was like a deflated ball, without a trace of life, and the downturn in the stock market also affected the overall environment of the U.S. economy, and continued inflation and low growth caused the U.S. economy to enter a period of "stagflation."

However, in troubled times, there are always heroes, and the downturn in the stock market makes Warren Buffett secretly happy like a wolf who has found meat, because he sees that the wealth is about to roll in, and there are too many cheap stocks in the market that are worth buying.

This year, after observing enough time, Buffett has set his sights on the newspaper industry, and he intends to encroach on the Boston Globe and HSD Post. Warren Buffett, who worked as a newsboy as a child, clearly understands that no matter how widespread radio and television are, the newspaper industry will not decline, and owning a brand-name newspaper is like owning a toll bridge, and any passer-by must leave money to buy the road.

Of course, these are all things that Walter doesn't know, for him, Buffett is just a temporary appointment with him in private, if he can reveal his actions to Walter so easily, then this stock god will inevitably seem too simple.

Time passed quietly, almost two months, the news from Hong Kong was neither good nor bad, according to Robert's meaning, although Bruce Lee is still as rude and hostile to foreign production staff as in history, even if this life is because of Walter, Disney only has two representatives stationed in Hong Kong and a team of temporarily recruited foreign guards.

According to Allen's report, it is clear that with the Foreign Security Team supervising the crew, it has greatly reduced the excessive and unnecessary expenses such as the loss of props in the crew. Of course, after Disney fired a lot of crew members with bad deeds, Bruce Lee also had a lot of complaints about this cooperation, but this is okay, because according to estimates, the film can be filmed around May or June, and even if he is dissatisfied, he will not easily withdraw from nearly half of his film production.

Of course, "Enter the Dragon" has not yet been filmed, but "American Painting" has already been filmed, and even Lucas has already started the post-production of the crew, and it is said that he went to his friend Francis Ford Coppola to learn from him.

After all, although Lucas had the experience of filming the previous movie "Five Hundred Years Later", the poor box office of that movie still made him not have much confidence, and the completion of the film prompted Walter to carry out the next publicity plan.

"Mike, I'm sorry for the release of "American Style Painting". ”

"Rest assured, this matter was personally ordered by Director Roy, and I will definitely use Disney's greatest resources to ensure the box office of the film. Mike Power, the director of Disney's Bowei Film Distribution Company, responded with a smile, and then continued: "It's just, Walter, this movie has a small investment, and without the blessing of famous directors and actors, will ......it really have a box office?

"Trust me, no problem, it's going to surprise you at the box office. Walter replied confidently.

"I hope so. Mike smiled and echoed perfunctorily, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was Director Roy's personal voice and asked him to come to help, he wouldn't have come over in person, for a movie like "American Painting", he was not very optimistic about the prospects, but he was hindered by the backstage of the person in front of him, and he didn't dare to express his thoughts.

Seeing this, Walter did not reply immediately, he naturally guessed Mike's thoughts, and as for the box office problem of the movie he was worried about, he was not worried at all. If Disney's distribution ability is not as good as the original Universal's distribution ability, then it will be in vain as Hollywood's top eight.

Buena Vista Pictures Distribution - Founded in 1954, Buena Vista Pictures Distribution is a distribution company established by Disney itself in order not to hand over distribution to other film companies.

The key reason for this is that there is a law in the United States that a film production company cannot take care of the production and distribution of the same film, which means that if a film company produces a film and wants to distribute it, it must be handed over to another film company to operate. Since 1948, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on the Paramount case under antitrust law, ruling that the vertical monopoly of large studios is illegal, and requiring production companies to abandon the business of film distribution and cinema screening. Cutting off the main source of revenue for large companies, forcing companies to drastically reduce film production.

This is an extension of the antitrust law, and it has also changed the Hollywood model of film production, distribution, and screening, and the court has found the existing distribution model illegal under the antitrust law that prohibits monopolistic transactions. Of course, for a Hollywood group like Disney, which owns several film companies, the anti-monopoly law of movies is just a dead letter, and the replacement distribution is just a left-handed change for the right hand, and the other film companies under their names are just replaced by the other film companies under their names, and it is because of this that Bowei Film Distribution Company was born.

Moreover, even though the Anti-Monopoly Law explicitly prohibits film companies from owning cinema chains, these large groups still try to exploit loopholes in the law and indirectly control cinema chains, while small and medium-sized film companies have to abide by this law.

After a pause, Walter stopped dwelling on the topic of the movie's box office, and instead asked the question he was most concerned about: "Mike, how are you going to promote it?"

Although Walter has confidence in "American Painting", it does not prevent him from hoping to add another fire to this movie, at least to double the annual box office of this movie.

"To be honest, we're going to have Lucas take the film to the Cannes Film Festival or the Berlin Film Festival, and if we can, we're going to get the film awards, and then promote it in China through the media that we have a good relationship with, so as to raise the reputation of the film. ”

"Yes, your proposal is worth trying, but I have a better way. Walter nodded and said, although Mike's way is nothing new, it is indeed the best way that ordinary people choose for the current situation, however, for Walter, he has a better way.

"What's the proposal?" Mike's face changed, clearly unconvinced.

"Propaganda against the Vietnam War. Walter said with a confident smile on his lips.
