A company that owes hundreds of millions of dollars in huge debts and is on the verge of bankruptcy does have no transaction value, in Hollywood, there are small and medium-sized film companies that fail every year, nothing new, but for Meng Xinghui, what he wants is not the inherent value of the company, he just wants this shell, put on this shell, he will become the boss of a Hollywood film company, rooted in the opponent, sooner or later, he will become the master of Hollywood.

Compared with the future income of Astronomical Numbers, the investment of 300 million is really not worth mentioning.

In fact, there is another reason for Meng Xinghui's overseas acquisition of film companies, this reason is that the system of Huaxia is really not conducive to the development of film art, in a country where politics and politics are overwhelming, it is absolutely impossible for the flower of art to bloom completely, in Huaxia, for film and television companies, the main theme works are the most guaranteed, first of all, the subsidy of the political axe in this area is very high, and the investment of tens of millions of dollars to shoot a main theme TV series, the reward of the government may be four or five million, and the main theme movie is basically not worried about the box office. The government will organize various units to watch the movie, and put it down as a political task, and movies like "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" can rush to five or six billion yuan at the box office, which can be seen.

But everyone knows that the main theme movies basically have no art at all, they are just a tight spell for the spiritual imprisonment of the ruler.

In Huaxia, many themes can't be touched, classic gangster movies like "The Godfather" can never appear in Huaxia, even if you shoot a permitted theme, in the hands of those veterans who censor, the big scissors click to cut you into four different ways, for example, To Qifeng won the Hong Kong Film Awards "Big Guy", and in the mainland it became "Big Man Has Great Wisdom", many of the scenes about the past and present lives were all cut, resulting in many plots that are inexplicable, and lack that wisdom, which is why " "Big Guy" was the best film at the Academy Awards, but it was scolded in the mainland.

This can't be blamed on the people who made the film, the culprit is the big scissors that castrate the art, and the deformed hand holding the scissors.

In the world, making movies in the United States is the most relaxed, and there is no subject matter in this country that cannot be touched, even if it is a film that depicts the darkness of the government, such as Will. Smith's "Enemy of the Whole People", whether you want to shoot violence, sexuality, or heavy taste, want to shoot aliens, murderers, zombies or government officials, no one restricts you anything, and American movies have a rating system, even if they are heavily erotic, they can also be played openly at midnight Chengren Field, as long as they are not shown to children.

Freedom does not necessarily produce art, but art must be in the soil of freedom in order to thrive, in a country where this cannot be touched and that is not allowed, even if there is art, it is limited and pitiful.

For a person like Meng Xinghui who has high requirements for his works, the pursuit of artistic achievement is the ultimate goal, and he wants to become the first film master in the past, so he must find such a soil for him to play freely.

Of course, his roots are in China, and he will never immigrate to the United States, but just make movies with the help of this country's relaxed cultural environment.

When Meng Xinghui and Jeremy. After Jones expressed his intention to buy, Jeremy J. Jones trembled with excitement, and it took a while for him to calm down.

"Meng, you are such a good fellow, you must be a messenger sent by God to save me, it seems that my prayers these days have worked, God his old man heard," Jeremy. Jones's face was flushed: "However, I have a small request that I hope you will grant." ”

"What a request, you say." Meng Xinghui stretched out his hand and motioned for him to speak.

"I hope to keep the Montablue sign, after all, this is my ten years of hard work, even if the company is run by you, it will be a comfort to me if the original name can still be retained," said Jeremy. Jones shrugged helplessly: "Another request, is to ask you to allow me to continue to work in the company, my dreams and my passion are all here, I don't know how to continue my life after leaving the company." ”

Jeremy. Jones knows that these two requirements are excessive, first of all, after the company is sold to others, what is the name is no longer under his control, keeping Montablue is just based on his emotional dependence, which is not necessary for others, plus a failed company, its signboard does not have any appeal in the market, it may only have a negative effect, in addition, according to Hollywood convention, an operator who has failed miserably will lose the trust of all investors, and he asks to continue to work in the company, which is also very difficult. So Jeremy. Jones looked at his old classmate Jason. Williams asked for help, hoping that he could say a few kind words in front of Meng Xinghui so that the new boss would adopt his advice.

Jason. Williams sighed, although he knew that this was very embarrassing, but for the sake of his old classmates, he still interjected: "Meng, I am grateful for everything you have done for Jeremy, you Chinese people are interesting enough to friends, we Americans also like friends, it stands to reason that at this time, we should not make any excessive demands, but Jeremy is my old classmate, I can't watch him lose from Hollywood, and then spend the rest of his life in emptiness and remorse, I hope he lives well, if he can stay here, That's the best thing to do, of course, Jeremy wouldn't ask for a position in a critical department, even if it's an ordinary employee, he's willing to do it, right? ”

Jeremy nodded like a chick pecking rice: "Of course, even if it's a small clerk." ”

After finishing speaking, both of them looked at Meng Xinghui with a pitiful taste in their eyes.

Meng Xinghui smiled and said: "I'm sorry, my friends, Montablue's signboard can't be kept, not just because this signboard has failed, but our company has its own signboard, I have decided, the name of the new company is 'Star Image', as our overseas branch of Star Film and Television, the signboard must remain unified, I hope you can understand." ”

Jeremy. Although Jones was sad, he nodded his head in acceptance, after all, this kind of request is very inauthentic, just like if you sell your child to someone else, and you still want him to take your last name, who will accept this kind of request?

Although the Chinese people are enough friends, after all, they are also in business, not charities. Just Jeremy. When Jones felt that his second request was going to be in vain, Meng Xinghui spoke again: "However, for everyone's sake, I want to give you two a face, and I will seriously consider Jeremy's second request." ”

Although Meng Xinghui has actually decided to use Jeremy deep down. Jones, but he can't show it too obviously, at least it gives them the impression that it's for the sake of the face of friends, and the meaning of taking care of you, and definitely not letting them think, oh, Jeremy, you're a talent, please come and help me.

As a superior, he must not give his subordinates the opportunity to be pampered and proud, especially since this is the United States, not his own territory. Jones's use must be restrained, always give him a sense of crisis, and tell him that you must be down-to-earth and work hard, otherwise I can fire you at any time, because I didn't want you in the first place, because everyone is friends so we take care of you, you have to be content and grateful.

"Really? That's great! "Jeremy. Jones almost jumped up, he knew that Meng Xinghui said that he was willing to consider it, that is, he had already promised him, and he could still hear this kind of diplomatic rhetoric.

"Meng, you are really a very charismatic young man, you Chinese people, you are really good!" Jason. Williams gave a thumbs up, feeling very comfortable that Meng Xinghui gave him face like this. Even if you only give half of the face, that's a lot of face.

Ding Wu and Ding Hai happily couldn't keep their mouths together, the boss went abroad, and the harvest was really not small, not only received a thousand charming beauties, but also received a Hollywood film company, from now on, Star Entertainment can also be called a multinational group, the Chinese people bought an American company and became the owner of the Americans, it sounds like a bull * coaxing, and in the future, Ding Wu and Ding Hai will not worry that they have nothing to brag about in front of others.

What kind of cow are you next door to Mahler? Do you have our boss cow? He is the CEO of a multinational group who asked the Americans to work for him, you are a hairy man! If you put out words like this, will anyone dare to disagree? Whoever is still not satisfied will be served directly with big ears and drawn to him!

Jason. Williams didn't expect to inadvertently make a phone call to his old classmates, which not only saved the lives of his old classmates, but also contributed to such a beautiful thing, in fact, not only Huaxia welcomes foreign investment, the United States also welcomes foreign investment, except for the industries restricted by some countries, other industries can be freely invested, the openness is greater than that of Huaxia I don't know how many times, the film industry is not a restricted and protected industry, it is better to have foreign capital injection, Americans are very confident, they think that even if there are a few foreign film companies to survive in Hollywood, It's impossible to shake the fundamentals, but this time they look away, and many years later, they will look up to the behemoth of "Star Reflection" and see this company as a thorn in the flesh.

Although the tone was set, but Huaxia Capital's acquisition of a local film company in the United States, there are still many processes to go through, Meng Xinghui is a decision-maker, he has no interest in participating in these processes, so he notified Zhang Jinsong to come from China, and then asked Williams to hire a professional manager and lawyer to control all this, it is enough to have Zhang Jinsong control the whole process, and now Zhang Jinsong has been tempered for a period of time, and he has long been no longer Wu Xia Ameng, young and old, and he can be on his own. And Meng Xinghui trusts this brother from the bottom of his heart.

Leaving the tedious things to the executor, Meng Daguan thought about going to the last stop of his trip to the United States, Las Vegas. On the one hand, he wants to see this world-famous gold cave and compete with world-class professional gamblers, on the other hand, he has just acquired Montyl and lost more than 300 million US dollars, and this money naturally cannot be spent in vain, so let the casinos in Las Vegas pay for him, the rich people of Las Vegas, are you trembling?
