Originally, it was a noisy discussion meeting, but after Li Xiaole's proposal, they all fell into silence, and when the leaders were flipping through the materials, the celebrities and big-name CPPCC members in the audience all looked at you, and I looked at you, and they all felt that this thing was incredible.

In their minds, AMC Cinemas is like General Motors in the United States, an incomparably huge giant, and this kind of cinema giant Chinese companies are likely to acquire? This fundamentally breaks the concept in their minds...... How could those American giants possibly let the Chinese take over?

Of course, this is not surprising, after all, they did not witness Lenovo's acquisition of IBM, Motorola, Shuanghui Group's $4.7 billion acquisition of Smithfield Foods, Geely's acquisition of Volvo, Chery's acquisition of Land Rover...... and so on, a series of acquisitions of American giants by Chinese companies, and even AMC itself will be acquired by Wanda Cinemas in a few years.

After the economic recession in the United States, the financial forces on Wall Street are no longer able to support the superficial prosperity, and Li Xiaole is also sure that now is the best time for them to recover their breath.

After being surprised, Xu Wenzhao, Minister of Culture, quickly discovered a loophole in Li Xiaole's merger and acquisition copy, and he raised his head and reminded with a dry cough: "Director Li, I'm sorry, I want to remind you that according to the U.S. antitrust law, film distributors cannot own theaters, which means that as long as your Black Pearl Company owns the equity of Luen Mei, it is not eligible to acquire AMC." ”

Several leaders of the Film Bureau wearing eyes next to him also nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, this is not in accordance with legal procedures." "I think this M&A case is immature in many aspects, and a large company like AMC is not so easy to acquire." "It's still necessary to be cautious and more cautious."

The leaders of the Ministry of Culture don't seem to want Li Xiaole to buy American theaters, and they are all whispering and discussing, Zhang Guoli asked his friend Feng Xiaogang next to him very strangely: "Director Feng, I don't understand, whether Director Li buys American theaters or not, isn't it a good thing for national film exports?" Shouldn't the Ministry of Culture encourage Chinese films to go global? ”

"National strength...... It's not that simple. Feng Xiaogang has been tossing in the system for many years, and he still sees the ideas of the leadership team very thoroughly, shook his head and said: "Now Director Li can't catch up with the United States in domestic business, if he uses the support of the policy to achieve his business intentions, and then pats his ass and becomes an American citizen in the next life, won't he let the government accompany his wife and fold the army." ”

In order to establish a business card for Chinese films, the Ministry of Culture asked various mainstream media to hype up the actress Gong Li, and as a result, the actress became a Singaporean citizen, which ruined the bowels of the leadership of the Ministry of Culture.

At this time, Li Xiaole, who shined in the United States, made such a sensitive request, of course they would be more cautious, after all, Black Pearl Company is a private enterprise, and there are no fixed assets in the country, so they can pat their butts and leave at any time if they want to leave.

What is surprising is that Li Xiaole, who has always been very planned, did not seem to expect this situation, and after being rejected, he also looked sad, and he stopped talking several times, and he didn't seem to be able to think of any solution.

Xu Wenzhao felt a lot more relieved when he saw him like this, several leaders glanced at each other, and then Xu Wenzhao coughed dryly and said, "That's it, Director Li, if you don't mind, I can give you an idea." ”

Li Xiaole hurriedly looked like he was being taught, and asked anxiously: "Xu Bu, please advise." ”

"Actually......" Xu Wenzhao took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "It's very simple to circumvent this anti-monopoly law......" Xu Wenzhao also deliberately paused halfway through his words, hung Li Xiaole's appetite, and looked at him with an impatient expression before continuing: "As long as a Chinese company without the right to issue is an intermediary, you contribute funds, and they come forward to acquire, so that this policy can be circumvented." ”

As soon as he said this, not only Li Xiaole frowned, but even Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, directors in private film companies, shook their heads, how is this possible, Li Xiaole pays money, and then hands over the power to others...... What if the other person turns the other cheek? You must know that other private enterprises are not good men and women, and as long as such a large amount of money passes through anyone's hands, I am afraid that there will inevitably be an additional risk.

"I'm afraid...... It's not feasible......" Li Xiaole said embarrassedly.

"Director Li, don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to me first." Xu Wenzhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "As far as I know, aren't you still working in China Film, you should always trust China Film Group, and China Film has a controlling stake in a private cinema company, China Film Xingmei, you can completely negotiate this acquisition case by putting the funds in the name of China Film Xingmei, I can assure you here that your funds will not pass through the hands of others, and your Black Pearl Company is still responsible for it, and our relationship between China Film and the United States is very good, and you can negotiate legal issues, you can worry less...... ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded in admiration, and sure enough, he was worthy of being the leader of the Ministry of Culture, and he suddenly came up with a way to make the best of both worlds, but some people heard another deep meaning, through the words of the Chinese film star, it is equivalent to saying that the Chinese film has also played a huge role in it, and in the case that both parties are in the same interest of Chinese films, of course, there will be no problems, but if Li Xiaole wants to invest in Hollywood in the future, then the Ministry of Culture will have a way to restrain Li Xiaole.

Feng Xiaogang also nodded again and again when he heard this, Xu Wenzhao was really surprisingly clever.

"This ......" Li Xiaole was stunned for a moment, then shook his teeth and seemed to hesitate for a moment, before he said with a painful face: "Can you wait for me to think about it." ”

"Of course...... But be quick, you must know that the CPPCC meeting is about to start, and if you miss this opportunity, Director Li, you will have to wait for next year. Xu Wenzhao smiled and announced the adjournment of the meeting, so that everyone could take a rest.

Under the attention of everyone, Li Xiaole sighed and went out to the safe passage, and then looked up and down to make sure that there was no one, then picked up the phone, and after connecting, he smiled and said: "Uncle Han, sure enough, as you think, Xu Wenzhao proposed to pass the path of China Film Xingmei." ”

"Well, I knew Minister Xu would do this." Han Sanpin on the other end of the phone also laughed, and it was difficult to hide the smugness in his voice.

"In fact, Xu Wenzhao's plan is the best plan we think, why don't we put it forward directly?" Li Xiaole still feels a little big about this way of winding.

"Xiaole~" Han Sanpin said earnestly on the phone: "You are different from before now, you used to be a newcomer in the circle, even if you are sharp, you will give people a deep impression, but now you are unbeatable among Chinese directors, no matter what, you are still a citizen of the country after all, you can't create a high impression of the superior leaders, no one in your eyes, with your character, even if the best plan is put forward by your mouth, the leaders will feel that you have to break your sharpness, you can only use it, Even if you reluctantly agree on the surface, you will secretly cause you some trouble, and if you don't do it, you will mess things up because of it......"

Han Sanpin said with a smile when he said this: "Look at it, you are pretending to be stupid now, selling a flaw as a leader, so that the leaders can think of the path we want to take, and make them feel that they are forcing you to go, you are not so smart and can control it, but this thing is easy to do, not only follow your direction in a hurry, but also fully support you, because they will feel that it is their own credit." ”

"That's right." Li Xiaole nodded and laughed when he heard this, and said with deep admiration: "Uncle Han, you are still thoughtful, and I still don't have a thorough control over these people." "In terms of political wisdom, it's still Han Sanye's old way.

"Okay, it's almost time, Uncle Han, I should go back, there is only a ten-minute break in the middle of the meeting." Li Xiaole looked at his watch.

"No, wait, wait 5 more minutes." Han Sanpin stopped on the phone and smiled: "Do you want to show your inner unwillingness and struggle...... Wait 5 more minutes, and the leaders will be more satisfied......"

Li Xiaole couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this, what an old fox......

In the end, this proposal was officially approved by the discussion meeting of the cultural group as Han Sanpin expected, and became one of the political proposals of this CPPCC meeting, and the nod of the leadership team of the Ministry of Culture and the Film Bureau is equivalent to the adoption of this proposal, which is just a formality at the CPPCC meeting, which makes a stone in Li Xiaole's heart finally fall to the ground.

At the long CPPCC meeting, the representatives of the cultural groups who were forced to support the scene yawned and yawned, and when they looked at their mobile phones, they were all listless, just hoping to get over this time quickly, and Li Xiaole was no exception, he had been looking at all kinds of information in his mobile phone, "The Legend of the Great Sage" has now begun to produce various CG scenes and background pictures, Black Sail Studio, with the help of Apple's technical department, is everything going according to plan, and it is not a big problem to see this progress in filming and releasing "The Legend of the Great Sage" at the end of the year.

But look at the other side, James Cameron's "Avatar" has already been filmed, and it is only in the post-production process...... Imagining a head-to-head showdown with the No. 1 film in film history at the end of the year, Li Xiaole couldn't help but feel a little nervous and excited.

I was thinking about it at this time, I suddenly felt that my bladder was a little distended, so I quickly took the opportunity to go out to the toilet, but I didn't expect that as soon as I walked in the direction of the toilet from the cultural group discussion venue, I was surrounded by dozens of reporters, and next to him, the Olympic champion Liu Xiang, who was also blocked from going to the toilet, was looking at this side and smiled bitterly.
