Li Xiaole refused without hesitation, not only did Foday stand on the spot, but even Wagner and Tom Cruise were stunned, no matter how you look at it, Foday's conditions are very beneficial to United States, what reason does he have to refuse? Could it be that Li Xiaole is planning to bargain, so this attitude? While everyone was speculating, Li Xiaole's next answer surprised the three of them.

"I decided to sell the rights of the sequel to Sony, I personally don't plan to shoot the next movie for the time being, the sequel will be handed over to others by the head office, I only hope that when the next film of Luen Mei Company, that is, Tom's "Assassination of Hitler" is released, Sony will continue to support it." Li Xiaole sighed calmly and said.

"You...... Say...... You don't want to make movies anymore. Foudy looked at him and stammered, why did this always arrogant Chinese kid suddenly become timid......? Even with a dead heart, he bowed his head to Sony like this? What's going on.

"For the time being, yes." Li Xiaole nodded affirmatively and replied.

"How can this work~~~~!! Plum~!! You are our most promising producer at MGM~! The most promising director~! You just created an amazing box office of 150 million~!! How can you not shoot~! How can you give up~! How can you not make a movie~~!! Fody couldn't help but rush forward two steps excitedly, blushing and grabbing Li Xiaole's arm and shouting loudly, his emotions were a little out of control.

"Foday, calm down first and listen to me." Li Xiaole turned around lightly and shook off Foday's greasy hands, and said helplessly:

"I have my difficulties, you know, I mainly have to design products for Apple in the second half of the year, and I can't take care of the time, and we all know that I sold the overseas rights to China Film...... Sony's head office was very unhappy with my behavior this time, and if I made a movie in a short period of time, the result would probably be terrible......"

Li Xiaole pretended to pout helplessly, feeling funny in his heart, this fat man didn't want to release a movie to himself before, and now he can't wait to force himself to make a movie, it's really funny.

Foday was stunned on the spot, his face changed several times, he wanted to persuade Li Xiaole to shoot "Life Remote Control 2" immediately while the iron was hot, but according to Li Xiaole's willful and reckless temper, if you put too much pressure on it, it will have the opposite effect......

Besides, everyone can see that this kid's achievements in the IT industry are far higher than those in the film industry, and people want to go to Apple to do design, so they can't stop his future, but thinking so, Foday is still very unwilling in his heart, and looked at Li Xiaole with an almost pleading expression and asked:

"Li, aren't you going back to China...... You've just acquired Luen Mei ......"

"No, Foday, my friend, don't get me wrong, I have a long-term career in Hollywood." Li Xiaole hugged Foudie and smiled:

"I'm about to ask you for help, I heard that there is a small TV station under the Sony head office that is not doing well, and is anxious to look around for a home, I plan to take over this company, so I can believe that my relationship with the head office will be much easier, can you help me mediate with the head office?"

"You mean UPN? That TV station ...... that has been losing money for 11 years? Before Foudy could speak, Wagner next to him exclaimed, and Tom Cruise looked at him with a stunned face.

Seeing that Wagner and Foudie were both stunned and looked at him, Li Xiaole nodded affirmatively again and said, "Yes, it's UPN." ”

What kind of TV station is UPN......? It was a third-rate TV station that had been losing money for five consecutive years, had debts of more than $60 million, and could go bankrupt at any time.

Foudie stood there with a cloudy face, pondering this matter countless times in his mind, and suddenly found that Li Xiaole's move was also reasonable, if he took over the hot potato of his subordinate UNP company from Sony and alleviated Sony's internal operating losses, then the relationship between the two parties that broke down because of "Life Remote Control" would turn into a honeymoon period......

This also means that in the future movies of Lianmei, Sony will not wear small shoes for Lianmei even if it is for UPN, whether it is for Li Xiaole or Tom Cruise's future.

The only problem is that Li Xiaole has to bear huge losses every year when he takes over this TV station...... It seems that he is the only one who has suffered a big loss, and it seems that Li Xiaole attaches great importance to Tom Cruise and has paid such a big price for him.

After thinking about it clearly, Foday finally looked at Li Xiaole, sighed and said:

"Okay, I understand, Li~ You know, whether you make a sequel or not, I am on your side, and I will help you try to fight for ......" Mending the relationship with the head office is not a bad thing, even if the TV station goes out of business, Li Xiaole, the director, I am afraid that in order to repay his debts, he will have to stay at MGM to make up for his losses, which is definitely good news for him.

Thinking of this, Fody was still very happy in his heart, this timid and afraid Chinese finally showed his timidity, what did he do earlier, and now he wants to please the head office, what an idiot.

Seeing Fody leave with a pretended face, Tom Cruise immediately came over, grabbed Li Xiaole's arm with both hands excitedly, and looked into his eyes:

"Lee, you tell me...... Are you for me, are you bowing to Sony for me~~! ”

"You're mistaken, Tom." As soon as Li Xiaole saw Tom Cruise's excited and grateful look, he knew that he was really moved by his "self-sacrificing" behavior, and quickly shook his head and smiled:

"Tom~ Am I so great in your mind? Got buddy~ I'm just a selfish ordinary person, I took over UPN, in fact, I want to establish a channel network in the future, so that I can release movies by myself, I don't want to be so pressed that Sony can't raise my head......" Li Xiaole said and turned his head to look at Wagner and smiled:

"Speaking of which, Ms. Wagner, I still need your help with the acquisition of UPN, and I need a trustworthy legal advisor."

"Self-issued?" Tom Cruise looked stunned, how is this possible, there is no big six to support his own release? How long will it take to reconnect with cinemas and build media relationships? Five years ......? Decade......?

"Yes, so I plan to buy a TV station, shoot a TV series first, establish my own media discourse, and then make a movie, step by step, for the time being, I can only wronged you to continue to make movies under Sony." Li Xiaole shrugged his shoulders.

"So, you approached Apple and acquired UPN all to build your own channel network?" Tom Cruise looked at him stunned for a long time before he took a deep breath, looked back at Wagner, who was also performing, and exclaimed: "Wow......"

Obviously, this is not an exclamation, but a kind of confusion, Tom Cruise himself wants to set up a company in Hollywood, but he has never fantasized about building his own media network, not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't have the ability, or the courage.

Come to think of it, running a film production company in Luen Mei is already so difficult, and every day I am worried that if I want to buy other properties such as UPN, it will be equivalent to doubling the difficulty factor.

Yes, although the film company and the TV station will be more influential, if it forms a whole, it means that as long as one of them has a problem, it will affect the other.

It is likely that the original movie was made well, but because the TV station suffered losses, the film company went bankrupt along with it......

The management difficulty of a group company is completely different from that of a single company, and there is only one way to succeed, and that is to acquire new industries, which themselves have to make money...... You don't have to be a burden to the acquirer.

But how can an industry that makes money on its own be easily acquired? The media industry sold on the market is not a loss-making liability, and investors must not give up, and the six have been developed for nearly 100 years, carefully selected through countless mergers and acquisitions...... It has also gone through various ups and downs to have the current scale.

UPN is the most haode example, the sale price is $32 million, but investors buy this TV station, but they have to bear more than $60 million in debt, which is equivalent to selling it for $100 million, and the business conditions are extremely bad, anyone who buys it is definitely a hot potato, and it is impossible to make a profit......

"Lee, you have to think clearly." Tom Cruise couldn't help but be a little anxious and persuaded: "UPN is not a good company, it is likely to drag you down." ”

"But if we don't, we won't be trusted by Sony, and I agree with Lee's decision." Wagner suddenly interjected.

"Wagner, what's wrong with you? Aren't you the most cautious? Tom Cruise turned his head to look at his partner in surprise.

"Tommy, I figured it out." Wagner's face was full of perseverance, gritting his teeth: "Since the two of us established the company, we have been retreating, we have been retreating, and now we have been forced to nowhere to go, I am in my fifties, I don't want to waste time, I think it's time for us to take risks~"

"Crazy~ You're all crazy!" Tom Cruise looked at Wagner and Li Xiaole in disbelief, and shook his head fiercely:

"UPN is a TV station that is rotten to the bone, remember~Wagner~! The producer of UPN once invited me to do a show, and we investigated this TV station in detail, they don't have a good program, they don't have a good series, they don't have a loyal audience, and the audience hasn't reached 100,000 in a second in the past ten years, even if our relationship with Sony is repaired, all the money we make from production in the future will be invested in this rotten hole!! ”
