Since 1977, Wang Jie has asked the old Jim to secretly acquire the shares of the Disney Group, and the capital predators of this film and television company in the United States do not value it, because the films produced and distributed by Disney Pictures are still mainly minors, if it were not for the company's relatively old history and Disney theme parks, it would not be qualified for the Eighth National Congress at all, and now it is only a little better than the already troubled United States Company.

Wang Jie has many companies under his name, but so far the most profitable is Hasbro Toys, which sold a net profit of $45 million last year alone.

Since Walt Disney died of lung cancer in 1966, an era has ended. After Walt Disney's death, his brother Roy Disney took over the reins of Disney, and until then, Roy Disney had mainly handled the company's administrative and financial affairs. Roy Disney decided that he did not have the creativity of his younger brother, so he decided to go with the flow, and all the characteristics and styles of the Walt Disney era were completely retained.

Disney under Roy Disney still produces animated feature films, and although there are blockbusters such as "Jungle Book", in general, they can't compare to the prosperity of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "Bambi". The original "Black Hole", which was filmed by Disney Company for $20 million, was hit head-on by "Star Wars" and ended in a fiasco. Although "Black Hole" did not collide with "Star Wars" because of Wang Jie, it ran into another god film "The Third Kind of Contact", which was still dismal at the box office.

Wang Jie transferred from Xiangjiang and flew to Los Angeles on December 1 to rest for a night, just in time for the premiere of "Star Wars 2: The Empire Strikes Back". Wang Jie watched the film with the women who arrived early, and this time there were two more people at William's Manor in Beverly Hills, Zhao Yazhi and her son, who came to the United States to relax at the invitation of Lin Qingxia. A week ago, Zhao Yazhi officially signed a divorce agreement with Huang Hanwei, this time because of Lin Qingxia's help, and Wang Jie also said hello to the Hong Kong British department, the court decided quickly, Zhao Yazhi only had the custody of his son, and he was considered to have left the house lightly, Huang Hanwei was still a good person, and he felt guilty about his wife, so he didn't care too much, so he signed the verdict.

Wang Jie, who now holds about 19% of Disney Pictures, entrusted Wall Street's Goldman Sachs to issue a goodwill offer to Disney to buy Disney.

After more than 20 days of negotiations, during which Wang Jie's maternal grandfather, who was far away in the UK, also made some efforts, because the Bass family did not come out to stir up trouble as the original time and space dealt with Saul Steinberg, the acquisition was quickly reached. The acquisition of Disney Wang Jie cost a total of $920 million, not only hollowing out Wang Jie's cash flow, but also Wang Jie also borrowed $1.5 billion in Hasbro shares as collateral at JPMorgan Bank.

On December 24, Wang Jie signed the acquisition contract, and since then, Disney, one of the eight major Hollywood film and television companies that started with animation, has become Wang Jie's private property. In order to stabilize Disney's internal personnel relations, Wang Jie deliberately reserved Roy Disney's board seat, although the Disney family no longer had shares in the company at this time.

After Christmas, Wang Jie recruited Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg from Paramount to serve as president and general manager of Disney, respectively, and he left Hollywood and flew to Hong Kong after giving the animation department a stack of animation manuscripts and an animation script. The manuscript and script left by Wang Jie are the famous "The Lion King" in the future.

At the end of 1979, before leaving the United States, Wang Jie commissioned Bantam Books to urgently release four books: "The Red Dragon", "The Silence of the Lambs", "Hannibal" and "Young Hannibal".

The reason why Wang Jie wanted to publish these four books was because he was afraid that the original author, Thomas Harris, would think of the idea in advance and write "Red Dragon". Although he is not too public, and he tries to change some things in Hollywood as little as possible, it still causes some butterfly effect, Wang Jie is worried that the course of history will have a sudden change, so some things must be prepared for a rainy day.

On January 10, 1980, Wang Jie accompanied Deng Gong, Hua Shuai and others to watch his movie "The Wind" in the Great Hall.

The whole film Wang Jie is darker and more depressing than the original, and it is also more real and bloody, if Wang Jie dares to do this twenty years later, he will be banned by the General Administration, at this time this big scissors have not yet been established, and the censorship is not as strict as decades later.

During the screening of the film, except for the low crying sound in the entire auditorium from time to time, the expressions of the audience were very serious. Deng Weiren stared at the screen solemnly, and he didn't notice that the cigarette between his fingers was extinguished. When the film ended, subtitles appeared, accompanied by Zhang Guorong's "Let's Listen to the Wind", Deng Weiren took the lead in applauding, followed by applause in the whole hall.

After walking out of the hall and sitting down in the conference hall, Deng Weiren said with remembrance: "To resist the invaders, we Chinese sons and daughters have sacrificed many people, and Wang Xiaoyou's movie is very good! ”

Wang Jie hurriedly said: "Deng Gong is in love, I also did what I should do, after all, I am also a descendant of Yan and Huang." ”

Deng Weiren pondered for a while and said, "I don't know what Xiaoyou has about the current international situation?"

Wang Jie said in horror: "I am a little kid, I don't dare to have any high opinions, but there are some low opinions, Jimmy Carter of the Democratic Party at the end of this year will lose eighty percent of the election, he is now called the most unsuccessful overall by the American media, and the polls are pitiful." If Republican Ronald Reagan is elected president, Sino-US relations should be able to warm up to a certain extent, after all, since the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan attracted the resistance of the entire Western world led by the United States, China, as a big country close to Soviet Russia, will definitely be wooed by the United States, I have a word not to vomit unhappy, one day in the future the US government will come to China to sell F14 fighter jets must buy as many as possible, if it really can't be done, but also buy engine technology, his development prospects far beyond the Soviet Russia's Su-27. ”

Deng Weiren asked: "I wonder if Xiaoyou can match it at that time?"

Wang Jie hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I can't do it, I'm just engaged in some cultural and entertainment industries, and I can't match the US military at all." ”

Enough of this, Wang Jie doesn't want to put himself in the whirlpool of politics.

Deng Weiren glanced at Wang Jie with a little meaning, and did not continue the topic.

"The Sound of the Wind" caused a huge sensation after it was broadcast in mainland China, both in terms of shooting skills and storyline, which were incomparable to previous movies in mainland China. In the past, the underground workers in the movies were all elegant and upright, and the villains were all ugly and ruthless, completely face-painted, but the underground workers in "The Wind" are full of gangsterism for men and fashionable and modern for women, and even the villains are handsome, completely breaking the convention, but it seems more real.

The next day, the "People's Daily" published a commentary, saying: The revolutionaries of the hidden front are screws, but they are not mechanically embedded in the ideal machine, but embedded in the rotten shell of the dark regime, exchanging their lives for that meager light and heat to illuminate China's future. I have never felt that the heroic view of history is worthy of being passed on, because the spirit of transitional consumption will go down the altar sooner or later, but those simple, simple, fearless, desireless, persistent, and firm strength will gradually emerge and shock people's hearts. Sacrifice is faith.

On January 20, when "The Wind" was still being screened in mainland China, Wang Jie quietly returned to Xiangjiang.
