When Kang Jianfei stood in front of the red horse again, the horse named Red Pepper seemed to see some terrifying creature, and neighed uneasily and retreated.

Martin? Davis said happily: "Haha, this little guy is afraid of you." ”

Kang Jianfei took the saddle from the cowboy's hand and threw it on the back of the red pepper horse rather rudely. The horse still wanted to make trouble, but was slapped on the head by Kang Jianfei, and immediately quieted down, and silently succumbed to fate with tears in his heart.

With the help of the cowboy, Kang Jianfei put on a harness for Red Hot Chili Pepper, and then turned over and sat on this fierce horse that no one could subdue. This time, the red pepper only snorted a few times to express its dissatisfaction, and I didn't dare to go crazy like yesterday again.

The cowboy exclaimed, "Sir, you are a natural knight, and the Red Chili Peppers have been subjugated by you." ”

Li Zhi also laughed happily when she heard the cowboy praise her man, she felt that Kang Jianfei on horseback at the moment was so heroic.

Martin? Davis also rode his horse and said, "Kang, you can't blindly use violence when you get along with horses, you must treat them as friends and relatives, only the power of love can connect with your horse." ”

"Mr. Davis, I think you're quite right." Kang Jianfei echoed, but he was full of slander in his heart: For a fart, you tell it a fart of love, and if you are disobedient, you will beat it until it is obedient. If you always fall in love with this red pepper, you were trampled to death by it yesterday.

Kang Jianfei, Li Zhi and Martin? The three Davis rode towards the small lake, followed by seven or eight followers, and soon came to a beautiful lake.

A wooden corridor stretched from the shore to the lake more than ten meters away, Kang Jianfei and the three of them sat on the wooden corridor to fish, and several horses were placed on the shore to graze.

Not for a moment Martin? Davis caught a big fish, Kang Jianfei thought he would put it in the bucket, but he didn't expect the old man to throw it back to the lake.

Both Chinese and Western anglers enjoy the process of fishing, but Chinese people like to take the fish back to cook, and it tastes more delicious than the fish they bought. It must not be understood that Mao is released after fishing, which will lose the fun of fishing.

Kang Jianfei and Martin while fishing? Davis was talking nonsense, and Lizzie sat by and listened quietly, unaware that her bait had been eaten.

The two chatted for a while, Martin? Davis took the initiative to turn the topic to the movie, saying: "The "Rain Man" you invested in has already made money in the United States and Canada. You're a good movie investor. ”

"Thanks to the compliment, I still have a vision in the film investor." Kang Jianfei was not modest at this time, but spoke very confidently about his advantages.

Martin? Davis suddenly changed his words and asked, "But do you know that Paramount's investment this year is also very successful?" ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Of course I know that in the box office list before Christmas, the second and third places in this year's North American box office list are all produced by Paramount. ”

Martin? Davis added: "Last year's North American box office of the year. It is also a film invested by Paramount. ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "It seems that Paramount's investment is really successful. ”

"So you're still thinking about buying a big company that's doing well?" Martin? Davis looked at Kang Jianfei amusedly.

"Compare to Barry? During Diller's time in power, Paramount as a whole has been going downhill for the past three years, and the company's total box office revenue has been declining every year, hasn't it? Kang Jianfei asked rhetorically.

Martin? Davis said: "But Paramount's box office revenue has always ranked in the top two of Hollywood's major movie giants. ”

"It's about to fall to third," Kang Jianfei caught a small fish the size of a palm, and threw it back into the lake like an old scholar Martin. continued, "Paramount's current strength at the box office is actually still enjoying Barry? In the afterglow of the Diller period, you can make a lot of money just by making sequels, such as "Wonderful Detective 2" with a box office of more than 100 million in Paramount this year. And Universal Pictures' performance this year is very eye-catching, and 20th Century Fox is also like a wolf after being acquired by Murdoch, and these two companies are a great threat to Paramount. If you add in the profitability of peripheral goods such as travel and records, Disney and Warner Bros. are also fierce rivals. Paramount's earnings may have to rank fifth. ”

Martin? Davis asked, "Then why would you even want to buy Paramount?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "Because Paramount has that strength and heritage. ”

Martin? Davis asked, "Are you going to be at the helm of Paramount?" ”

"No," Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "Our countrymen have generals and commanders when they fight, and the helmsman of Paramount can only be called a general, and I can be a general." ”

"Generals and marshals? Interesting distinction, "Martin? Davis laughed, "Kang." It's impossible for you to buy Paramount outright unless you can prove that you can make Paramount grow better, so I will agree to convince the other shareholders to sell you a portion on a pro-rata basis. ”

Kang Jianfei pointed to his head and said, "My business philosophy is in my head. You can take it out at any time. ”

"Tell me about it." Martin? Davis said, "I don't know anything about movies, and I hope you can convince me." ”

Kang Jianfei asked, "Mr. Davis, do you know my film company in Hong Kong?" ”

Martin? Davis nodded: "The film company that is growing very fast, but unfortunately the big studio system has been eliminated in Hollywood, and the law of the United States does not allow the storage of film trusts." ”

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "No, what I want to say is not this, but the status of DreamWorks in the entire Oriental Entertainment Group." ”

Martin? Davis was interested: "Oh, you talk about it. ”

Kang Jianfei said: "I know that Paramount was once forced to sell a number of theaters by the U.S. government because of its monopoly, which greatly damaged its vitality and weakened it for 20 years. However, the U.S. government stipulates that film companies are not allowed to vertically operate production, distribution, and screening businesses, and it does not say that other theater chains and distribution companies are not allowed to acquire or operate film companies. ”

Martin? Davis frowned and asked, "Is this any use?" ”

"Of course it works," Kang Jianfei said, "and my Oriental Entertainment Group in Hong Kong can be copied to Hollywood." Film, television, music, publishing, animation, travel, media, all these things related to entertainment can be put together and promoted and coordinated with each other, and we can create an entertainment empire in the United States, and Paramount is just a part of this entertainment empire. ”

Kang Jianfei's suddenness, just wanted Martin? Davis agreed to his stake in Paramount, but this made Martin? Davis pondered.

In fact, Kang Jianfei is not bragging, his "big entertainment" idea is very feasible, but at this time, the Hollywood movie giants were scared by the anti-monopoly law decades ago, and they didn't think about "big entertainment business" at all.

With the diversification of the entertainment industry, there have been endless ** film companies and theaters, and the monopoly standards for the film field in the United States have been relaxed a lot, and it is nothing for a parent company to own both theaters and production companies.

In another time and space, the two cattle who supported Paramount were poached by Disney, and Paramount declined from then on, and then Gulf Western Industries sold Paramount.

Viacom, which bought Paramount from Hercy, was an entertainment company that started by operating a chain of theaters, and since then Paramount has become part of the entertainment company from a Hollywood giant, and Viacom has gradually developed into an entertainment group.

Paramount's change of hands marks that the United States has entered an era of big entertainment, and several of the world's leading Hollywood movie giants have become part of entertainment media groups, and the revenue from film peripherals has increased tenfold and hundredfold.

There were a lot of fish in the lake, Kang Jianfei caught another fish, he threw the fish back into the lake, and said in conclusion: "In my conception, movies are just an appetizer of an entertainment feast, and the real profit is the big meal that comes up later." ”

"Very good idea, you're not afraid that I will plagiarize the past?" Martin? Davis laughed.

Kang Jianfei said: "If I want to complete this idea, I am not capable of doing it alone, so I need a strong partner. And Mr. Davis, you, run an industrial conglomerate, and you are not familiar with the operation of the entertainment industry, and we can complement each other perfectly. ”

Martin? Davis really didn't know how to run the entertainment industry, and none of the publishing, game, magazine, and film companies controlled by Hercynian Industries were involved in specific corporate operations.

"Go on." Martin? Davis Road.

Kang Jianfei said: "I want more than 25% of Paramount's shares, 30% of Japan's Sega Games Company, and 30% of Simon Publishing Company's shares. In addition, we paid for the Turner Broadcasting Company, built a television network on top of it, and then bought a record label, and the whole entertainment empire was basically formed. ”

Martin? Davis smiled: "Kang, your words are very moving, but I'm very sorry, I don't know anything about this, so I don't plan to invest." ”

Paramount's previous helmsman, who brought Paramount to Barry in a prosperous period? Diller, who has advised Martin several times? Davis, hopefully he will be able to build a new television network. Martin? Davis wasn't interested in that, and that's what made Barry? Disheartened, Diller was poached by Murdoch more than three years ago, and Paramount went downhill year by year.

Kang Jianfei continued to try to convince Martin: "Do you understand video games?" Japan's Sega in the most difficult time, Kaixi Industries invested a lot of money, and now it has not reaped several times the return on profits? ”

Martin? Davis shrugged and said, "Actually, I was against investing in Sega, but unfortunately I was not in charge of Haixi Company at that time, and the number of votes against it at the shareholders' meeting was not as much. ”

Kang Jianfei: "......" RI
