Chapter 40 Layout of Japan and South Korea

When Yulia Tymoshenko was still in New York to negotiate the release of the four books "Jurassic Park", "Juman's Game", "Smell the Woman" and "Warcraft: Humans and Orcs", Wang Jie mailed her a book manuscript - "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back", needless to say, this is Wang Jie's "plagiarized adaptation" based on the movie, and the purpose is naturally self-evident.

On November 1, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg arrived at William's Farm.

As soon as he sat down, Steven Spielberg couldn't wait to ask, "I wonder how you think about the copyright transfer of "ET"?"

George Lucas shook his head helplessly on the side, he didn't know what to say about this old friend, he really felt that the boy in front of him was "weak and bulliful"?

Wang Jie replied coldly: "In recent years, I don't plan to sell the film and television adaptation rights of any of my books, I think this question will end here! I'm sorry to disappoint you." ”

Steven Spielberg looked at George Lucas pleadingly, and George Lucas pretended not to see it, and saw through the clean glass window that Audrey Hepburn was playing with a large group of girls on the lawn of the manor.

Steven Spielberg sighed helplessly when he saw George Lucas ignoring him, he really liked the story of "ET", it felt like it had appeared in a dream.

After Wang Jie and the two had lunch, they exchanged a few more words, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas left the farm, and George Lucas took the script that Wang Jie had already written, and it was time for "Star Wars 2" to start. Steven Spielberg didn't dwell too much on Wang Jie's resolute attitude, and it was also related to his schedule, and he was about to start filming the very different style of "1941".

Wang Jie stayed at William's Farm for less than a week, and rushed to Xiangjiang with his assistant Yulia Tymoshenko, Lin Qingxia, Hu Huizhong, and Guan Zhilin.

"Bao Qingtian's Beauty Case" is almost finished, and "Step by Step Shocking" is almost half aired, and Liang Shuyi is ready to start the two dramas "Huo Yuanjia" and "Shanghai Beach".

In the office of Jiayi TV, Wang Jie met Liang Shuyi, Liu Tianci, Xiao Sheng and Xu Xiaoming, who were discussing fiercely.

After Wang Jie sat down, he said: "Is there any problem with the filming of "Huo Yuanjia" and "Shanghai Beach"?"

Liang Shuyi got up and said, "We want to take both dramas to the Huaxia mainland to shoot, I don't know if it's okay?"

Liu Tianci added: "The main reason is that I am afraid of the ban on Wan Island, our last two dramas "Bao Qingtian" and "Step by Step Shocking" sold to Wan Island's China Television have set a sky-high price of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode, if it is blocked by the Bay Island Cultural Department, it will be a big loss!"

"It doesn't matter, if the Bay Island side dares to find a thorn, I will personally talk to Chang Dagongzi. I asked the general manager of Le Yiling to be responsible for contacting the Huaxia Mainland, but Xiao Sheng and Xu Xiaoming, the two of you who led the team this time, must manage your subordinates well, and after arriving in the Huaxia Continent, you are not allowed to discriminate against the personnel there, and the salary of the relevant cast and crew who employs the Huaxia Continent must be paid according to the level of Xiangjiang, if anyone violates it, they will be dismissed on the spot, and our DreamWorks Group will never hire them. Wang Jie emphasized.

After dealing with Jiayi, Wang Jie came to DreamWorks Pictures again, just in time for Cheng Long to hurriedly look for Huang Baiming with a script, Huang Baiming opened the door and saw Wang Jie and immediately welcomed Wang Jie and Cheng Long into the office together.

"What instructions does the boss have for coming over this time?" asked Huang Baiming politely.

"I don't have anything to do, just come over and see if you have any problems, you are busy with Cheng Long's problems first, and then notify everyone to have a meeting, and I will go to find Shi Nansheng first. Wang Jie explained and left.

About half an hour later, Mecca, Huang Baiming, Shi Tian, Cheng Long, Shi Nansheng and Chen Xunqi, the relevant leaders of DreamWorks Pictures, came to the conference room together.

Wang Jie opened his mouth and said: "I am in Lucasfilm in the United States and am ready to start filming "Star Wars 2", and I am ready to take this opportunity to select some personnel to study in the United States, you can recommend them." ”

Chen Xunqi got up and emphasized: "I must be counted this time, anyway, the record department is not a big deal." ”

Cheng Long hesitated for a moment, got up and asked, "Can you let the family class go over this time?"

"Okay, this time the two of you will lead the team to observe the process of Hollywood film production. Wang Jie agreed.

Mecca said: "DreamWorks has recently come to two directors who are very interested in special effects, one is named Lan Naiche and the other is Chen Jiashang, bring the two of them with you!"

"Yes. Wang Jie looked at Shi Nansheng, who wanted to stop talking, and said with a smile: "Take Xu Ke with you this time! ”

Everyone laughed, Shi Nansheng couldn't wait to get under the table, and glanced at the people around him with a red face, but he was very grateful to Wang Jie in his heart.

WANG JIE STAYED IN XIANGJIANG FOR THREE DAYS, AND THEN GOT UP AND RUSHED TO RIBEN WITH HIS ASSISTANT YULIA TYMOSHENKO, WANG JIE HAD PREVIOUSLY APPOINTED GOLDMAN SACHS TO HELP BUY SHUEISHA, AND NOW THAT IT HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED, WANG JIE CAME OVER THIS TIME TO SIGN THE CONTRACT.

At the Shueisha headquarters in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Wang Jie met with Kenichiro Ryota, the president at this time, and although he was very reluctant to sell the company, he gave up his controlling stake under pressure from his American father.

After Wang Jie signed the agreement, he said to Kenichiro Ryota: "Your Excellency, don't worry that I will point fingers at the company, you are still the president of Shueisha, and I will only send someone to supervise the finances." ”

WANG JIE DELIBERATELY LET RIBEN RETAIN 20% OF THE SHARES, AFTER ALL, THE COMPANY'S MANAGEMENT STILL DEPENDS ON THEM. Wang Jie asked Yulia Tymoshenko to take out a stack of sketches and put them in front of Kenichiro Ryota, and said: "These are the few comics I created, and I only drew the first word of each one, and you find someone to supplement the rest according to my settings." ”

Ryoda Kenichiro bowed down and took the sketch and began to check it, which immediately shocked him, and he said with admiration: "William Sang is really a great talent, and he has been taught in Xia!" After speaking, he got up and bowed to Wang Jie.

THE SKETCHES GIVEN BY WANG JIE ARE SOME OF RIBEN'S MOST REPRESENTATIVE WORKS IN THE FUTURE, THEY ARE: "NARUTO", "SAINT SEIYA", "DETECTIVE CONAN", "INUYASHA", "DRAGON BALL", "CRAYON CHAN", "ONE PIECE", "SLAM DUNK" AND "CHERRY MARUKO".

For the king of the island, Jie has always been full of discipline.

After Wang Jie took care of everything in the island country, he turned around and flew to South Korea.

At this time, South Korea was beginning to rise, but even as one of the Asian tigers, its brokerage and military diplomacy were controlled by the United States behind the scenes. Wang Jie came here this time to negotiate the acquisition of South Korea's second largest television station, Korea Culture Broadcasting Corporation.

This TV station, along with the Korean Broadcasting Corporation Television at this time and the Seoul Broadcasting Corporation Television established in the 90s, almost controlled the lifeblood of Korean entertainment, and Wang Jie had to seize the opportunity before the rise of the "Korean Wave".

Under the mediation of the US ambassador to South Korea, Wang Jie finally acquired 70 percent of the shares of the Korean Culture Broadcasting Corporation and obtained a controlling stake in the television station with some twists and turns.

Wang Jie went around in circles in the Far East, spent more than $12 million to bury a nail in Japan and South Korea, and flew back to the United States leisurely, Christmas 1978 was approaching.
