Before the acquisition of Miramax, Ye Sumang's heart had actually been very nervous.

This tension contains a lot of emotions.

I was excited, I finally had my own film company in Hollywood, and I was a little nervous, afraid that something would happen halfway, and in addition to some pride, after all, this achievement was not easy to come by, but when the matter was finally finalized, Ye Sumang's heart calmed down.

Dressed in a dark blue suit, a white shirt, and all the buttons were neatly buttoned, he sat at the negotiation table, and as a result, the lawyer handed over the contract that had been reviewed countless times, and Ye Sumang held S.T-Dupont's diamond platinum fountain pen and wrote his name seriously.

The iron painting silver hook, with a hint of the flying that a teenager should have, is stable......

"Congratulations, Ye, from now on, Miramax will belong to you." Disney's president, Robert Brown. Egger smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to Ye Sumang.

After shaking it, Ye Sumang also replied with a smile: "Happy trading." ”

A deal of up to $390 million, in this handshake, declared a perfect end, to be able to win this price, but also from Ye Sumang's strength, cash one-time payment is undoubtedly the key to impress Disney.

The company, which was originally acquired with only 8,000 US dollars, has brought hundreds of millions of dollars in profits to Disney over the years, and this transaction has brought Disney a huge amount of liquidity.

And the history of this company is also very rich, including "Chicago", "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", "Shakespeare in Love" and this year's Oscar winner "No Country for Old Men" are all produced by this company.

However, to Ye Sumang's regret, during the negotiation process, Ye Sumang asked to buy back the sequel rights of "Youth Musical", but Disney did not agree, although the film that has made three sequels has been going downhill, but every time it is released, it will get the attention of a large number of die-hard fans. It is very easy to reach hundreds of millions at the box office, which is extremely impressive compared with its simple production costs.

Obviously, Disney also treats it as a cash cow, and although high school life has been filmed, it is clear that Disney is still not ready to let go.

Although this little regret was a pity, Ye Sumang quickly forgot about it. Even if the copyright of "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" is obtained, Ye Sumang will only operate it as a brand, even if he wants to shoot Ye Sumang, he will not interfere, let alone shoot it himself, as for making money, Ye Sumang will never focus on a series, he is good at creation, he will never be confused with a theme, a series.

With the signing of this contract, Miramax has officially been out of Disney's control since then. It has become one of the few independent film companies in Hollywood, and of course, behind this company will be a new giant from the East.

"Ye, there is a dinner party in the evening to celebrate the success of our cooperation this time, bring your beautiful girlfriend to participate." Before leaving, Robert sent an invitation to Ye Sumang, to which Ye Sumang readily agreed.

After all, it's about to enter the Oscars. This kind of dinner is a good place to expand your network, although Ye Sumang does not like to socialize. But he still knows what is necessary.

"Ye, I really didn't expect you to be interested in Miramax." After everyone left, except for Ye Sumang's team in the conference room, the rest was the original management of Miramax led by Leon.

Lyons was surprised to see his former partner suddenly become the director of this company. I couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in my heart, after all, this was the place where he had struggled for many years, and pulling Miramax out of the abyss was also the most fulfilling thing for Leon, but now he might be about to leave. This made his heart really a little unacceptable.

"Old friend, long time no see." Ye Sumang's face was very calm, and he enthusiastically stretched out his hand towards Leon, but the other party just smiled helplessly, shook it lightly and let go.

"Ye, treat this company well, it is very fragile, especially out of the arms of Disney, I hope you can take care of him with your heart." Leon's mouth was bitter when he said this.

Ye Sumang didn't nod when he heard this, but just looked at Leon curiously.

"Weishenme, would you think so?" After a while, Ye Sumang didn't suddenly ask until he looked at Leon in his heart.

Leon thought that Ye Sumang didn't believe it, and was very excited and assured loudly: "Ye, you have to believe me, this is not Huaxia, this is Hollywood, the appearance is glamorous, but there are some man-eating devils living inside, your identity is very sensitive, it will touch a large number of people, they will not allow a Chinese person to share this cake......"

Leon said excitedly, and Ye Sumang sat in his chair silently, but did not reply a word.

In fact, what Leon said, how could Ye Sumang not know.

Miramax's greatest value is his film library and fame, but this company also has its full shortcomings.

For example, the production capacity is not high, there are very few films produced every year, and there is no independent theater of its own, which makes the film not perfect when it is scheduled, and as an independent film production company, its own funds also limit its development.

And Ye Sumang's entry into the ownership is also a hidden danger, although the problem of 'racial discrimination' has not existed for a long time under the statement of the United States, but in fact, it has always existed, and an Oriental suddenly intervened in Hollywood, and it was obvious that he had gained more scrutiny.

This is also what Leon is worried about, Ye Sumang's accession is like a time bomb, it seems that he can blow up the Miramax that he has worked so hard to cultivate at any time.

Ye Sumang kept silent, Leon kept talking, everyone's eyes were fixed on Leon's face, especially Ye Sumang's team members, who seemed to be extremely curious about this talkative general manager.

Soon, Leon also discovered the strangeness of the scene, and after thinking about his identity at this time, he smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

"Leon, my friend, don't be so excited, take a look at this first." It wasn't until Leon stopped talking that Ye Sumang took out a document and handed it to Leon.

"Miramax Collaborates with Universal Pictures to Draft Letter of Intent ........." Reading the title of this document, Leon's heart suddenly jumped, and his originally depressed eyes gradually brightened and became more and more serious.

"BOSS ......" An employee reminded Ye Sumang on the side, after all, this document is still confidential, but Ye Sumang stretched out his hand to block the second half of the sentence.

"Do you remember an old saying in Huaxia, Jiang Taigong takes the bait for fishing wishes, and now I want to be Ye Taigong once, fishing for this fish named Leon, and if you want to fish, how can you not pay some tempting bait?"

The letter of intent that Ye Sumang handed to Leon is a convenient road that he has long laid for himself to enter Hollywood.

In this letter of intent, Universal's cinema chain will provide Miramax with a stable schedule several times a year for Miramax's movies to be released, and will also be responsible for part of the promotion during the film's release, and there are many small details, all of which are a powerful supplement to Miramax's shortcomings.

Of course, there is no hate for no reason on Shijie, and there is no love for no reason, and Universal has given so much for so much, and naturally it needs to be reciprocated.

In recent years, Hollywood studios in the United States have been developing more overseas markets, after all, the North American market is close to a saturation, and at this time, the Asian market has become their primary target, and Ye Sumang also officially grasped the idea of Universal eager to enter China, and facilitated this deal.

With the completion of the 66th five-star cinema of the Tianxia Cinema Line in December last year, the Tianxia Cinema Line has finally surpassed the Sino-American Cinema Line and has become the No. 1 super cinema in China and even Asia.

With nearly 800 screens, the brand degree of the world's cinemas in China is absolutely extraordinary, and the high-end route that Ye Sumang has adhered to over the years has also allowed the theater to gather a large number of good reputations.

In particular, the free construction resources in the world's cinemas have won unanimous praise from all the audiences who came to watch the movie, and among dozens of domestic cinemas, the praise rate of the world's cinemas has ranked first for three consecutive years.

And Ye Sumang's World Cinema Line also occupies nearly 20% of the box office share in theaters across the country, and such a strong strength is the most needed partner for Universal.

Coupled with Ye Sumang's own status as a director of Huaying Group, and a good personal relationship with Han Shanping, this is also the reason why Universal is finally willing to agree to this letter of intent for cooperation, after all, there are so many places for Huaxia to import films every year, but Hollywood still has a lot of companies to share, even if there are only one or two more places, the profits brought by it are considerable.

After watching Leon turn over the letter of intent five or six times, Ye Sumang suddenly spoke.

"Leon, are you interested in continuing to work together?"

When Leon heard this, he slowly raised his head, the shock in his eyes had not yet dissipated, but in the face of Ye Sumang's question, he did not seem surprised at all.

In fact, after reading the first letter of intent for cooperation, Leon almost understood what Ye Sumang meant, talking to smart people is so simple, Leon is obviously a smart person, otherwise he would not be able to stand out in the talented Disney at the age of thirty and be in charge of a company alone.

Without any hesitation, after Ye Sumang asked this sentence, Leon immediately replied: "Of course! (To be continued......)
