Lyon's response is not insignificant.
Almost all the high-level executives in the Miramax company who belonged to his faction were pulled over by him, and with his current power in the company, these high-level executives present could account for more than 80% of the entire company.
Coupled with the fact that they were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, the passing passengers all cast curious glances at them, wondering who was waiting for this group of people who looked like elites.
Especially when they saw that this group of elites was greeted by a group of Orientals, many people showed surprised eyes.
In fact, not only these passers-by, except for Leon and Lucy, who knew about it, the faces of this group of people were a little surprised.
Until a group of people left the airport in a luxury car, there were still many local people excitedly discussing whether Ye Sumang and his party were the rich second generation of chaebols in which Asian country just now, whether it was the appearance of this group, or their momentum, and of course, the money that set off everything, which was the focus of their heated discussion.
"Ye, once again, welcome to Los Angeles, to Hollywood, the mecca of all shijie filmmakers." In the RV, Leon opened a bottle of precious red wine and poured it for Ye Sumang, saying excitedly.
"I'm happy too." Ye Sumang raised his glass with a smile and took a sip.
This time, he came to the United States and came to Hollywood, firstly, to promote the movie, and secondly, to learn from Miramax Company, to further improve his system in Huaxia Company, and also to prepare for entering Hollywood in the United States in the future.
Ye Sumang never wanted to hide his ambitions.
Entering Hollywood, he didn't want to be a pawn. If he really wants to set foot in this field, he must become a chess player.
However, Ye Sumang also knows very well that it is difficult for Hollywood, which is currently controlled by the chaebol, to have external assets to be integrated, which has nothing to do with the amount of money, after all, you are rich. It can't stop the funds of the chaebol united.
And the reason for Ye Sumang's investigation this time is to see if there is any gap that can let him get in, lay out in advance, and also leave a gap for himself to ease before entering Hollywood.
And this goal is naturally placed on the Leon in front of him.
Miramax's predecessor was an independent production company, but unfortunately it was acquired by Disney due to poor management, because the business philosophy is not very compatible, Disney has always used Miramax as an independent subsidiary, and in the past two years, because of the fire of "Youth Musical", Disney is willing to increase investment in this company, but there are rumors. There are still many directors of the head office who are not optimistic about this film company that started with art films, and they have always wanted to throw him off as a burden.
This is also the reason why Ye Sumang Weishenme has always chosen to cooperate with it, and the root cause is that Ye Sumang has taken a fancy to it.
The company's heritage, with more than 700 titles in its in-house independent film library, is a valuable asset for a film company.
And Miramax's famous brand has a certain reputation in Hollywood, although it is better than MGM and Paramount. DreamWorks is a bit worse than these big companies, but at least it still retains a certain impression in people's minds. And not only well-known in North America, Miramax also has its own place in Shijie, especially in Asia, which are the achievements of the company's management over the years.
The most important thing is that the price of this company is not too expensive.
In terms of operation, although he is not much profit compared with the head office. But in recent years, it has gradually improved, and the company's financial situation is also very good, and there is no deficit, but in this case, Disney has put him up for sale more than once. It can be seen how unpopular this company is with the head office.
Miramax is a company, Disney's previous offer was about $500 million, so it can be said that buying it doesn't take much brains, and it's more about price negotiation.
The reason why no one has taken over for so many years is that the status of this film company in the circle is not up or down, its reputation is not low but not high, small investors can't afford it, it's better to buy a smaller film company, and big investors don't look down on it, after all, in the final analysis, although it has a certain reputation, it is still much worse than those local film predator companies.
Just like two years ago, Sony would rather choose MGM, which is burdened with huge debts, than take a fancy to Miramax, not because it is not well-known enough, so this embarrassing position also makes Disney always want to throw away this burden, but it can't always be thrown away.
In the car, Leon was still laughing loudly about his appreciation for Ye Sumang and his prospects for the future of the movie, but he didn't know that the boy who was smiling opposite was already thinking about how to buy his company.
The car drove until Ye Sumang had already booked the Haode Hotel before stopping, and before entering the hotel, Leon once again sent an invitation to Ye Sumang, hoping that he could lead a team to visit his company, which Ye Sumang naturally readily agreed.
This is like the old saying, send a pillow when you are sleepy, how can Ye Sumang refuse?
Looking at Leon and his entourage leaving, Yuan Hong and the others present were a little surprised when they looked at Ye Sumang's eyes, they didn't expect their boss to have such a good relationship with the boss of a Hollywood film company, and it seemed that their own boss took the initiative, but at this moment, no one talked much, as long as they knew about this relationship, if they wanted to dig deeper, it would not be beautiful.
"Let's go into the hotel, take a good rest, pour the jet lag, and the next publicity work may be very hard." Slowly exhaling a breath, bringing up a burst of white mist, Ye Sumang commanded everyone.
Looking at Xia Bing and a group of people to deal with the affairs of the room, Ye Sumang did not follow, but stood still, looking at the direction where Leon left.
"What are you looking at?" Liu Yifei didn't know when she returned to Ye Sumang's side, her hands naturally wrapped around Ye Sumang's arms, and asked curiously.
"I'm looking at my own future." Ye Sumang smiled, and finally gave an inexplicable answer.
Liu Yifei glanced at Ye Sumang suspiciously, and saw that the other party didn't say anything more, so she didn't ask again, after all, she had encountered this situation many times, and she would have had the patience to ask before, but every time there was no result, and until now, she had the right to play dumb riddles again as Ye Sumang.
However, when she thought of the results of every time after this kind of dumb riddle, Liu Yifei's eyes were full of confusion, as if her man was about to make a big move again. (To be continued......)
