"The performances of all the actors are excellent, and the mystery elements of the film are exemplary, and you can't wait to see the next scene. The storyline at the end is amazing. A great movie. ”

"It's a true classic that never goes out of style. I suggest you watch it twice, and then you will realize how clever it is. ”

"A creepy, incredibly well-thought-out story that strikes a perfect balance between fear, trembling, and delighting every viewer. ”

"Wow, this is a really good movie, Matt Damon, Jason, Streep all gave great performances. At first I thought I could guess the ending, but I was surprised in the end. It's really an unexpected twist, and it's also well hinted at in the plot. ”

After a round of intensive promotion offensive, "The Sixth Sense" was released on a large scale in North America, and unlike Fang Jianhui's previous film, this film has more to promote: Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, the second work of the director of "Home Alone", the director of "Home Alone" starring himself, and so on.

Taking advantage of the east wind of "Home Alone", "The Sixth Sense" has gained widespread attention, although the schedule is average, it still achieved a super high box office of more than 15 million in the first week, easily winning the box office champion of the week. As expected by Fang Jianhui, after the film was released, it was widely praised by the audience. Its unexpected reversal ending is even more addictive to the audience whose IQ has been fooled.

Fang Jianhui's super handsome image also appeared on the big screen for the first time, and his 360-degree handsomeness without dead ends fascinated countless audiences in an instant, and the man was a little better, but he felt very handsome and intimate. Women are different, looking at Fang Jianhui when watching the movie, they almost drool.

The most common scenario is: a pair of men and women watch the movie together, the man is immersed in the tense plot, worried about whether the male protagonist can help the children, and when he sees the final reversal ending, the man often shouts, Nima, how can this be?

After the man explained to him for a while, the man still felt that it was not too enjoyable, and felt that he had missed a lot of details just now, so he asked tentatively: Why don't we watch it again? The woman also remembered Fang Jianhui's appearance, and when she heard this, she was in the middle of it, so the two happily rewatched it again. After watching it this time, I found more inconspicuous subtleties, and I couldn't help but admire the director's ingenuity even more. The reason for the man's recommendation is the reversal ending, and the reason for the woman's recommendation is the male protagonist's ungodly appearance.

In this way, one to ten, ten to hundred, "The Sixth Sense" relied on a strong reputation, and the box office rose in the second week. And, since then, it has won all the way until the release of "Star Wars 2: The Empire Strikes Back". Moreover, the vitality of this film is tenacious, even when the box office of "Star Wars" is soaring, it still earns a considerable amount of money every week, and it is screened in North America until October. After the final painting, the film was also extremely popular in the video rental market, as soon as someone in the video store returned, it would definitely be rented out immediately, making many people wait for a long time.

Unlike the praise pushed by the audience, the voice of the critics is much more rational, but it is also mostly praised.

This week, Fang Jianhui has been leisurely, and the real busyness is Andy Murphy and William, the former is keeping an eye on the distribution work, and the latter is in full swing to run the acquisition work. At the beginning of the second week, William came to find Fang Jianhui and excitedly reported to him: The acquisition of Twentieth Century Fox has been finalized, and the two sides have reached a consensus on all issues, and they are just about to sign it finally!

It turned out that the previous disagreement between the two sides was mainly caused by David Bain, the current CEO of Fox, who had a holiday with Andy Murphy (which is why Andy has always been obsessed with buying Fox), and knew very well that once he was acquired, he would be swept away, so he tried his best to spread the news that was unfavorable to Angel Pictures, saying that if it was acquired, the company would soon be split and sold, and the name Fox would disappear immediately.

Although shareholders want to sell and cash out, after all, they have a lot of feelings for the company, and naturally they don't want this kind of ending. After Fang Jianhui assured that he would not break up Fox and that he had the ability to run the company better, they still had some doubts. It wasn't until "The Sixth Sense" was painted and swept the box office again, Fang Jianhui relieved them with two box office hits in a short period of time, believing that Fox would shine more in his hands, so the final purchase price: 700 million US dollars, the contract was reached.

A few days later, witnessed by all parties, Fang Jianhui, the original shareholders of Fox, the bank, and the investment bank signed the acquisition contract together.

Then, Fang Jianhui, accompanied by Andy Murphy and William Brown, walked into the Fox Plaza Building in Hollywood, officially announcing that the Twentieth Century Fox has changed owners!

Sitting in the spacious chairman's office at the top of the building, Fang Jianhui was full of emotions: Will it be too smooth to become one of the eight masters of Hollywood so soon?

William is worthy of being a bull with an investment ability of up to 96, he is good at dancing with long sleeves, and he used his connections on Wall Street to complete this seemingly impossible transaction almost like a white wolf with empty gloves.

Fang Jianhui is happy, there is someone happier than him, that is Andy, the wish hidden in his heart has been realized, since the contract was signed, his face has been smiling badly in the past few days. What made Fang Jianhui feel a pity was that after completing Andy's long-standing hopes, he thought that the system would give him some rewards or something, but he didn't expect that Andy's loyalty had changed from the original 100 to Max (the maximum), and there was nothing else.

Well, if you don't have it, don't be too greedy. Fang Jianhui comforted himself, and swept down the classmate Smith who had been silently guarding the side, Smith's wish - to make Hitomi Kuroki his life secretary - had also come true, and after a sweep, sure enough, Smith was the same as Andy, and his loyalty was also Max.

It seems that the reward after fulfilling their hopes is to become loyal to Max, Fang Jianhui thought.

looked at William again, the loyalty is still 100, by the way, this classmate hasn't said his wish yet? Fang Jianhui has a sense of accomplishment when he plays games, and discovers hidden tasks.

"William, this acquisition is really hard for you. Fang Jianhui said: "Andy's wish to acquire Fox and become the CEO of Fox, we have completed it. William: Do you have any wishes that you would like to accomplish?"

"Thank you owner for your concern. William said: "I have a hidden desire in my heart, but the time is not yet ripe, and when the time is right, I will ask the boss for help." ”

Probably not. It seems that I haven't met a certain requirement to trigger the task, forget it, the time has not come, don't force it. Fang Jianhui thought.

Taking stock of the Twentieth Century Fox's home, in addition to the basic studio and distribution network around the world, there are also Los Angeles Century City properties, a company that operates a ski resort, a golf course company, the Fox Plaza Building, etc., and a half-dead Fox Records.

Fang Jianhui touched his chin, thinking that Andy's stunts are "proficient in the film and television industry", and at present, there is only 'shadow', no 'vision', Andy's ability to run a business is so top-notch, it's a bit of a waste to just care about a film company!

"Andy, William, I have an idea. Fang Jianhui tentatively consulted the opinions of the two generals: "What do you think about acquiring a few more TV stations and getting a Fox TV network?"

"The idea works. The two pondered for a while, and William said.

"The TV industry is really profitable right now, and it's good for studios to have a network that can create synergies with our studios. Andy also spoke, but he changed his words: "However, there is an obstacle in this, because the boss is a native of Xiangjiang, not an American, and according to the Federal Communications Commission, foreigners cannot hold more than 25% of the shares of American TV stations." ”

Oh, there are such regulations! Upon hearing this, Fang Jianhui was a little frustrated.

"But there are still solutions. William said: "The first way is for you to become an American citizen, boss." Fang Jianhui shook his head, indicating that he was not interested in this method.

William saw that Fang Jianhui vetoed this article, and immediately proposed a new method: "The second method is to circumvent it through the equity holding agreement." Then he explained to Fang Jianhui what an equity holding agreement is, what its advantages and disadvantages are, and so on.

Fang Jianhui thought after hearing this: This is what I actually paid to buy, but entrusted others to hold the shares. I did good deeds without leaving my name and made money, but my name did not appear on the company's industrial and commercial registration, shareholder register, etc. Instead, find a trustee, register in the name of this trustee, and let the trustee attend various occasions such as shareholders' meetings, board of directors, and other occasions to exercise shareholder rights.

The biggest risk of this nominee shareholding agreement is moral hazard. That is to say, once the trustee has selfish intentions, makes small moves, or even turns his face, then the trustee will be very troublesome, and it is possible to make a bad mess.

However, when he thought of Andy's classmate's loyalty to MAX, if Fang Jianhui entrusted Andy to hold shares, the risk of him turning his face with Fang Jianhui was zero at all. For others, the link with the highest risk is the link with zero risk for the other party's Jianhui.

"OK, that's it, buy a TV station, set up a TV network, and I will hold 24% of the shares at that time, and the remaining 76% will be entrusted to Andy. Fang Jianhui clapped.

"We don't have much money on hand right now, and we can't pay in full to buy a TV station, so we still use leveraged buyouts. "Fang Jianhui doesn't have to worry about having a lot of debts, anyway, he already owes a lot of debts, and he doesn't care about a little more.

"Okay. "Yes, boss," the two commanded.

It's really cool to have such a strong subordinate! Fang Jianhui thought, for one thing, he only needs to make a decision to 'do it or not', and the rest of the 'how' doesn't have to worry about it. For example, after he decided to 'do', Andy and William would do the rest to choose acquisition targets, negotiate prices, find banks and investment banks, and join forces with other small and medium-sized TV stations.
