Chapter 1261 - Unlimited Acquisition

For Cerf. Yes, your commentator is too vicious, according to my clearest data," the Forest Cinema Screening Room. Bijia Theater, the attendance rate is not enough, haha, a few more fierce artillery attacks, "Hero" will be over! Lin Feng invested 800 million US dollars, he really ate the heart of a bear and a leopard gall!" Jing Shen sneered daxiao.

Joseph sighed with emotion. If Feibu Films invests $800 million, it's just ordinary, very ordinary. But investing in a series is too exaggerated. It can be said that the "Twentieth Century Fox" company has asked itself whether it has the guts to do so. However, Lin Feng actually had such courage and courage, although he was a competitor and an enemy, Joseph still admired him. Of course, this is also a stupid act!

Now the attendance rate of the replay of "Hero" is less than half, as long as their "artillery fire" is a little more fierce, the attendance rate of "Hero" in the future can be imagined!

"Well is deep, and you should cooperate over there. Together, let's deal another fatal blow to "Heroes" and make its $800 million investment completely ruined. Joseph snorted coldly.

Since Lin Feng wants to hold the "Lin Feng Film Art Festival", it must have a large number of films to support this film festival. And now, the major film companies in the United States, under the constraints of the "Oscar Alliance", do not dare to explicitly express their support for participating in the "Lin Feng Film Art Festival", therefore, Lin Feng does not want to become a joke at that time, so he must invest a lot of money to shoot movies to participate in his own film festival. When the time comes, Lin Feng will shoot one, and they will destroy one. As long as a few more films are destroyed, Lin Feng's film company's reputation will be completely ruined. At that time, if Lin Feng didn't want his film festival to become a joke, then he had to continue to invest.

Continue to invest, a movie is tens of millions, dozens of films a year, and it is not billions of dollars. He wanted to see how much money Lin Feng had to shoot the movie. Hum. How much money you have, I'll let you pay as much as you want! As long as he can defeat the biggest enemy of "Sony," he will be able to assume the post of president of "Sony."

However, just as the two were about to continue to intensify the "artillery fire" attack, the phone of the two kept ringing.

"Mr. Joseph, those film critics of yours have ruined our newspaper!" As soon as the editor-in-chief of USA Today called, he began to pour bitter water non-stop.

"What's wrong?" Joseph was stunned.

"Alas, Joseph, as for those comments about "Hero" in your company, a large number of viewers are now calling to complain, saying that we did not have a fair review of "Hero", but only blindly smeared "Hero", and did not comment on "Hero" objectively and fairly, and said that we misled the audience. These viewers asked us to revoke the false apologies and make the daoqian public. * USA Today's editor-in-chief has a bitter look on his face.

When Joseph heard this, he sneered.

"Why should these viewers care. They were also hot-headed, and they were bewitched by Lin Feng and others and called, maybe these people were arranged by Lin Feng at all. As a media person, you must have the backbone of absolute freedom of the press, and you must not be bent down by any words or things. Joseph spoke at length.

"Mr. Joseph, this is certainly true. But these viewers kept calling and even threatening to refuse to buy our newspaper if they didn't retract the comments in question. If the boss knows about these things, we can't explain it. "The editor-in-chief poured bitter water.

Joseph wrinkled there

"In this way, next time we buy a little more advertising space for your newspaper, you will have a way to explain it to the boss!" Joseph snorted coldly in his heart. What the audience complained about and boycotted the newspaper is not to take the opportunity to knock on some bamboo poles. However, Joseph had been prepared for this, so he didn't care. Knock on some bamboo poles, just knock on some bamboo poles! As long as Lin Feng can touch the film circle, this loss is completely bearable.

"Okay, okay, so be it!" the editor-in-chief of USA Today thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed.

"However, if there is a boycott of the newspaper by the audience, Mr. Joseph, the editor-in-chief of USA Today will hang up after saying that, no matter how much advertising space you buy.

Joseph Cold. One more sound. I didn't expect this Lin Feng to be so shameless, and wanted to use the audience to put pressure on them to stop these comments, but this childish method wanted to break up their offensive, which was delusional.

However, to Joseph's great surprise, the editors-in-chief of many well-known American newspapers, such as the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, called one after another, complaining about the collective protests of the audience, complaining that the audience was trying to blackmail them into retracting these comments by boycotting the purchase of newspapers. In this regard, Joseph is also without exception to increase his advertising investment.

After dozens of phone calls, Joseph let out a long breath. I finally got to deal with these editors, but this Lin Feng is really powerful, and he can actually move so many viewers to call and blackmail dozens of newspapers across the United States.

Okay, Lin Feng, you're good enough! Not enough, I'm going to see how much money you have to manipulate these so-called "audience" to call and complain. 1. Joseph sneered. In the United States, nothing is expensive, but labor is expensive. He didn't believe how long Lin Feng could persist if he asked tens of thousands of viewers to keep calling and complaining at one time. According to the market price, the labor cost is at least four dollars a day when the phone is called. 10,000 people, that is, the old. $10,000. On the scale of the wind rushing into the forest. The scale that can harass almost all the mainstream newspapers in the United States can be achieved by at least more than 100,000 people, and perhaps more than that. That day was tens of millions of dollars.

You Lin Feng are rich, but I don't care how much money you can have! Joseph watched coldly.

"By the way, Izuyuki Izukuk, did you also get a phone complaint from those editors?" asked Joseph.

"yes, but it's okay, these editors don't want to make more money on advertising. Izumi sneered.

Joseph nodded. Isn't it a joke that these editors say that the audience should boycott the newspaper? Moreover, there is another point, a discerning person knows at a glance that these viewers are Lin Fengdong, otherwise how could there be so many viewers calling to complain.

"Okay, Jing Shen is out, this time we will unite the entire American film company Liliang, and we must completely drive Lin Feng out of the film circle. Joseph said.

Abandonment of the deep dezhi nodded.

Immediately, after the "Oscar League" promised more advertising, the major newspapers in the United States increased their criticism of "Heroes" again!

"Lin, it seems that you can't incite the curse and live the curse!," Ellison looked at the comments of Guan Qian in the newspaper, and looked depressed. He, Ellison, had never suffered such a wrongful anger, and he was scolded like this, how could he be embarrassed.

"Hehe, Ellison, don't worry, the more fierce they scold, as long as "Hero" is good enough, the more intense the audience's reaction. It's just a matter of time!" Lin Feng said lightly.

Ellison thought for a moment and nodded. But leaving things to others like this, not under his control, this is the first time for Ellison. It feels awkward!

You must know that with the continuous criticism of major newspapers in the United States, those viewers who watched "Hero", after returning home, called to complain about the false comments of major newspapers, although they spread word of mouth, called friends, and asked them to watch this "Hero", but in the face of this overwhelming criticism of "Hero", most viewers still shy away from "Hero", therefore, for three days, "Hero" The attendance was extremely dismal, although the audience applauded every time it was over, and the applause in the cinema continued, but it did not help the actual box office revenue. The only consolation is that the sales of the package are unprecedented.

"By the way, Lin, I feel very strange, why there are no reviews of "Heroes" on the Internet now, it seems to be deliberately covered by a liliang!" Ellison said suddenly.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Ellison, you're finally here!" Lin Feng smiled and explained that there were no comments about "Hero" on the Internet.

It turned out that all of this was ordered by Lin Feng, and "Baidu Yahoo" deliberately blocked it, and used the search liliang of "Baidu Yahoo" to deliberately block comments about "Hero", so whether it was a positive comment or a negative comment, all of them were covered by "Baidu Yahoo". Lin Feng did this because he wanted to build momentum. For a movie, its reviews are very poor, and it really affects attendance. But if the reviews are a critical voice in the market, then it will attract the attention of some people who want to see how bad the movie will be if it is so badly reviewed.

Is "Hero" really bad? Apparently not! Not bad, it's pretty good. So once the final audience shows this. After the fact. The stronger the counterattack will be. This is similar to the "slingshot theory" of the futures market. Almost. Lin Feng just wanted to take this opportunity to smash the "Oscar Alliance" in one go, and the small company cracked down and blocked his own company in terms of public opinion. After all, the pressure of public opinion brought by these newspapers, Lin Feng cannot change. Therefore, Lin Feng can only change what can be changed, that is, the attitude of the audience.

"By the way, why then". Can't search for it?。 Ellison was curious.

For "Bo Zhuang" can't search for relevant comments on "Hero", Lin Feng can only say, I'm afraid this is "Hungry Rainbow." wanted to secretly help the "Oscar League", so he took the opportunity to secretly and silently yin himself. It's a pity that "Hunger" didn't know that instead of really being able to yin himself, he helped himself. Now Lin Feng is waiting, waiting for the audience's anger to explode the most.

Every day, after a "Hero" is broadcast, the next day there is always a flood of bad reviews. All the mainstream media in the United States are criticizing it, criticizing its plot jumps too much, the character performances are not in place, the stunts are average, in short, it is not worth spending money on watching TV series in the cinema!

On the contrary, those viewers who watched "Hero" think that the plot is exciting, the characters are in place, and although the stunts are not top-notch, they are definitely more than most Hollywood movies, and the flying screen can definitely be compared with "People". The scene of traveling through time and space is no worse than "Future Soldier", and the battle between the supernatural people is definitely no less than "Warriors", such a movie can actually have a flying series, for all the viewers who have watched "Heroes", it is as addictive as a drug. As for being a TV series, if it could be better than most Hollywood movies, I'd rather spend money in the cinema to watch it. Just rush to that screen, that acoustics, it's worth it!

"Paul, you go see "Heroes", it's really good! really! I won't lie to you!" An excited viewer who watched "Heroes" immediately found his friend and recommended it to him.

"Hero", just the movie that was rated as three no small plots, no pictures, no performances? And I heard that it is still a TV series and sold as a movie, this kind of movie is also worth watching? Hmph, as those comments say, as long as we don't watch it. Sooner or later, this "Hero" will be shown on TV stations. In that case, why should we look at Paul's disdainful remarks?

"Oh my God, Paul, you actually said that this "Hero" is a three-no movie, you are going to me off. You just have to look at it to see how good this movie is." Hearing that his best friend commented on "Hero" like this, the audience was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

"I'm not going to waste this money

"Then I'll pay!"

"Forget it, I don't want to waste my time!" "I, I, you'll regret it". The excited audience walked away in a huff.

"Cut, isn't it just a "Hero" that has fallen off the scum, is it worth being so excited." Paul said dismissively.

Such a scene was born in many cities in the United States, and many friends were angry because of this, and for a long time they complemented each other and ignored each other, causing hundreds of thousands of pairs of friends to almost turn against each other because of this. And this point has one more reason for "the Oscar League to criticize "Heroes".

A movie that is bad enough to make friends turn against each other, if you don't want to turn against your friends. It's better not to watch Heroes.

"Lin, when exactly are you going to wait until you fight back? Ellison couldn't hold it anymore.

Now "Hero" has been put in the famous department, but the attendance rate is very miserable. Now "Hero" is broadcast at night. Then before the new part was broadcast the next day, the milk farm was broadcast again, and the "Hero" in the field was full, almost full. But then the replay showed very little attendance. And what's even more laughable is that the ticket sales of "Hero" have sold a total of New 10,000 sets, almost, "Forest Movie Screening Hall." The total number of seats has a total of 10,000 seats, but the remaining five sales of loose tickets add up, and less than 40,000 tickets have been sold, which is still a lot of viewers who watched the second and third times for the third time.

This is a very strange phenomenon. Judging from the attendance rate, it is a unique haode film.

But in terms of average attendance, it is

Obituary, crying to make more viewers avoid this only hot dodge not * ※

"Wait until Zuihou is a piece!" Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness. Now this. The "Slingshot" has been pressed low enough that when Zuihou plays a piece, it will be enough to make it bounce back in full force. At that time, Lin Feng wants to see how the "Oscar Alliance" is going to suppress it.

"By the way, Ellison, how much does "Hero" make at the box office now?" Lin Feng asked.

Ellison looked at the computer, looking helpless.

So far, "Heroes" has grossed a total of $B in prison. Although the box office is good, it is a big loss compared to your investment. Ellison said. According to the profit sharing of the box office revenue reached between "Hero" and "Forest Movie Screening Hall", in the old days when "Hero" was played, the "Forest Film Screening Hall" earned a total of 10,000 US dollars, which was a small profit after deducting costs. However, Lin Feng suffered a big loss.

"Don't worry, Ellison, I'm not worried about 'Hero' box office revenue at all. Also, during this time, we can continue to acquire cinemas. Lin Feng said.

"Continuing the acquisition?" Ellison was taken aback. At this time, he continued to buy, how much bear heart leopard gall did Lin Feng eat, so cow.

"Hehe, this time the acquisition will not be "Oscar League." Under the black hand, secretly blocked. At present, there are more than 40,000 movie screens in the United States, and our company already has nearly a quarter of them, and my goal is to occupy more than half. Of course, in the future, in the global market, my cinema will also occupy more than half. Lin Feng said arrogantly.

At present, there are about 10,000 movie screens in the world

Ellison was startled at first, then slapped his thigh.

"Lin, you want to play big this time. If we can take up half of the screen, it's not that we're being controlled, it's that they're being controlled by us!"

If the "Forest Movie Screening Room" really has more than half of the movie screens in the United States. It is difficult for the "Oscar League" to control them. If they don't let Lin Feng's cinema show movies, then the movies they invest in may not be able to recoup the box office. Half of the movie theaters don't show movies, do companies such as "Sony Columbia Pictures" and "Twentieth Century Fox" suffer?

Of course, they can play a movie for a while longer, but don't forget. There are dozens of film companies in the United States, large and small, but is it possible that only a few film companies such as "Sony Columbia Pictures" will be screened, and the films of other film companies will not be screened? Obviously, this is impossible. At that time, there is only one possibility, these film companies that have made movies and have no place to put them will completely fall to Lin Feng's side.

At that time, it was time for Lin Feng to completely fight back and counter the "Oscar Alliance" of "Sony Columbia Pictures".

"Lin, as for the funding, I'm afraid we'll have to inject capital again. Ellison mused.

Currently, with the state B of its investment dollars. After the acquisition or *construction* of the theater and the operation during this time, it is almost exhausted, and if it is to be acquired at this time, I am afraid that it will continue to invest. And this investment will be at least about 100 million US dollars. This is not just playing, but a real entry into the film industry. With their current relationship with the American film industry, this is a big gamble.

"Don't worry, Ellison, trust me. This decision is sure to be one of the wisest decisions of your life. Your money now will be rewarded a hundredfold in the future!" Lin Feng said. Ekison thought and nodded. , Lao Tzu bet!

Immediately, as "Heroes" continued to be broadcast one by one, Ellison also launched a stormy acquisition again. All-American brewing. A number of movie theaters, acquired by Ellison and Lin Feng at no cost, began to fall one by one.

At first, Izuyuki and Joseph didn't care about it, but instead helped Ellison complete the acquisition later. But when Ellison has a total of movie screens over the *concave. After the block, the acquisition still did not stop, and Joseph and Izuyuki Izuku sensed that something was wrong.

"I'm afraid things won't be good this time! This time, Ellison and Lin Feng seem to be ready to play a big game. Joseph said with a sad face.

"Joseph, do you really think they have the financial resources to continue the acquisition?" said Izumi Ide.

According to the * for the rest of the movie screen that Ellison has now, counting other hardware investment, it is conservatively estimated that it has invested hundreds of millions of dollars. If you want to continue investing, the cost will be greater.

Moreover, more importantly, without the support of film sources, so many movie theaters will only have labor costs, and the daily investment is an astronomical amount. If you want to maintain such a huge cost, even if Lin Feng and Ellison are both in the top five richest people on the shijie rich list, it will not be able to support it.

"But I'm afraid that in the future, after they buy a certain amount, they will be able to threaten us because of this!" Joseph was extremely worried.

Well deep out of the disdainful daxiao a few times.

"Joseph, don't worry. Not to mention whether they can support it financially, even if their financial resources can support it, once there is no movie to play, so many movie theaters will have to sit empty. Of course, more importantly, the audience will not have a movie to watch, which will be a protest. Hmph, then we can make very demanding requests and take the opportunity to record them. Hmph, perhaps, we just sit back and ignore it, so that Lin Feng finally had no choice but to give up. That way, haha* we can buy back the movie theater at a low price, and completely kick Lin Feng and Ellison out of the movie industry. "When I thought of the miserable picture of Lin Feng leaving the film industry in the future, I wanted daxiao.

Joseph thought about it, and always felt that this seemed a bit risky. But there is no doubt that it is the best way to completely drive Lin Feng out of the film industry. And the so-called risk is really because no one has such strong financial resources to be able to buy so many movie theaters.

It is true that no one has the financial resources. Even if Lin Feng and Ellison joined forces, it would not be enough. But Lin Feng has friends.

"Li Zekai, Tang Jiacheng, Zheng Zhiheng, whether you are interested in investing in the film industry or not, you must help me this time!" Lin Feng said.

"Don't worry, Lin Feng, we will definitely help you this time. Li Ze and the three of them did not hesitate at all, and spoke in unison.
