The next day, major media in the United States have reported that Lao Si took over the production of "Schindler's List", a film that reflects the persecution of Jews during World War II. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, this is Xiao Ran's use of the power of the world to enhance the charm of the picture, everyone can see it. It's just that to the surprise of the whole bank, Universal's investment in this film did not raise funds, but only invested 80 million US dollars together with Charm Pictures. If the film fails at the box office, if you change to a club that does not have such a deep pocket, I am afraid that it will immediately fall into financial crisis.

Unlike the Phantom, which has always had large cash reserves for film investment and turnover, Hollywood has mostly invested its money in other things, and has used financing to diversify its risk in terms of funding. Because their debts are very high, for example, this time the Phantom entered Universal, and it was saddled with a debt of 2.8 billion US dollars.

Of course, if Xiao Ran personally takes care of the world and encounters the kind of film that is unlikely to be profitable, even if he has a lot of money, he will basically seek financing to avoid risks. But Hong Kong is different, the Hong Kong film market is getting bigger and bigger, but the profits are still quite high, except for those films that can't make money to be financed, those films that can be distributed to other cities are invested by Phantom Reading.

For now, $80 million is not the biggest film investment in Hollywood, but it is definitely one of the largest. The news quickly shook other companies, not because they couldn't invest, but because they couldn't do it without financing, which proved that the Phantom was not afraid of losing money, or had absolute confidence in the film.

Lao Si was very moved, perhaps rather excited, this was the largest amount of money he could control. Moreover, Xiao Ran said that this film gives him the same power as the producer, and no one can interfere with his shooting, as long as it does not exceed the budget by ten percent.

As a Hollywood heavyweight, Lao Si seems to have broken the iceberg and opened a good situation for the global impasse. The Jews of high society expressed their appreciation for Wanwan and Xiao Ran's behavior, and for a moment the situation seemed to change. As a collaborator of the Phantom, Lucas waited for Xiao Ran's instructions, and immediately expressed his support for Universal after Lao Si spoke.

And on the same day, Xiao Ran's most important card was played. On the same day, through Sony's Sheng Tian Akio, he told this old guy very clearly that if he wants to solve Sony's dilemma, he must advance and retreat with the world.

In the afternoon of that day, Colombia announced that it had a common interest with the world, and that they would work together for a long-term and stable cooperation, and that the combination of the four emerging powers was obviously enough to resist Disney and Warner.

Under Lei Shidong's slight lobbying, the original unity of the major associations completely collapsed, and Warner's most important move was resolved. And it was on this day that a few days of small theaters decided to accept Universal's financing and expand their business, and also said that "Jurassic Park" would be released in these small theaters.

The five major theater chains such as Royal immediately panicked, and the hot sale of this film overseas is something that many people have seen. Even the top executives of the theater chain have seen this film in Europe, and they naturally know whether it can sell well or not. Originally, it was just at the request and coercion of Warner and Disney to put pressure on Universal, but I didn't expect to lose profits because of this, and the chairman of the board of directors of the theater company who nodded and agreed was almost ousted.

And when Xiao Ran was happily appreciating a novel, the representatives elected by the five major cinema chains came, and Bass was a very popular and well-known good person in the industry. It's just that he is not an actor or a director or anything, but just an investor in the industry, and he has a little equity in the five major theater chains, and he often does it every time he has something to do with the mud.

Bass was an old man, Xiao Ran greeted him with a smile, helped him sit down on the sofa, and then looked at the old man with a smile and said, "Mr. Bass, I've been looking up for a long time, I don't know what happened to you this time?" ”

"Mr. Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm here on behalf of the five major theaters this time, and they want to join forces with you, you know, sometimes we always have to be controlled by some powerful powers! "Bass's eloquence is not weak, but his body is a little worse.

Xiao Ran showed a look of interest and motioned for him to continue. Bass's mind calmed a little, stared at Xiao Ran and said, "You know, people are always used to being ruled by power. And I think we need some changes, I will apologize to Mr. instead of the five major theaters, I believe you can understand our distress! ”

"Of course, of course I understand, for the sake of profit, everyone is like this......" Xiao Ran ruthlessly tore open Bass's fig leaf, and when he saw Bass bowing his head a little ashamedly, he chuckled: "In fact, I also pursue profit, so you don't have to apologize." ”

"Really?" Bass's mood immediately perked up, and a kind smile appeared on his face: "You know, the five major theater chains are the most powerful, and only here can your film get the greatest benefits." Therefore, we sincerely hope that you can give the screening rights of "Jurassic Park" to the five major theaters. ”

Xiao Ran immediately let out a sneer, stood up and walked around the center of the room a few times, and suddenly turned his head and asked, "Mr. Bass, maybe you don't know, there is a saying in China that a good horse doesn't eat back grass." That said, people who have the power will never follow the same path, you know? ”

Buzz was stunned, but he didn't quite understand what Xiao Ran meant. Xiao Ran suddenly leaned down and forced Bass, the two faces were only a millimeter away from touching each other, at this moment, Xiao Ran's tone was very low, and the low tone was very powerful: "Mr. Bass, since you have repeatedly rejected me, what do you want from me now, what do you want me to do!" ”

Buzz was taken aback by Xiao Ran's actions, and was even more stared at by Xiao Ran's threatening eyes, and couldn't help but turn his face sideways, his expression was slightly pale: "However, we did make mistakes before, and we were forced by the powerful. Shang Yanjing can forgive those who make mistakes, why can't Mr. Xiao be merciful? ”

Xiao Ran suddenly felt extremely funny, but this pretentiousness still seemed to be very effective. At that moment, he deliberately raised his head and laughed: "I am not God, and I don't have such a tolerant mind." No one in the mall can give any mercy, not even you. ”

Buzz suddenly felt as if he was afraid of Xiao Ran, and he thought that this time maybe it was in vain. At this moment, a smile appeared on Xiao Ran's face: "I am a businessman and pursue profits, so I will accept your apology, and the next film of Universal will be handed over to you." But ......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Ran's expression suddenly sank, and he said in an almost transcurrent tone: "However, I definitely don't want anyone to offend me, anyone, do you understand?" ”

"Yes, yes, sir, I will definitely convey your meaning!" Buzz is already in a cold sweat, not to mention the release rights of "Jurassic Park".

Seeing that the back of Buzz leaving gradually disappeared, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of Xiao Ran's mouth, and he thought that this was what he wanted. This battle has been fought so far, and his victory has been determined. A victory indeed, a victory that has been planned for a long time.

How could Xiao Ran not know the difficulty of outsiders trying to squeeze in, so he chose to do it by acquisition, just like Fang Ruohai did at the beginning, so that he could gain strength in the short term. It's like Charm Pictures has been here for a few years, but it has never been able to seriously set foot in it, so it can be seen that Xiao Ran's acquisition is definitely a way to gain strength in a short period of time.

Of course, Xiao Ran was very aware of the difficulties of standing firm, so he and Wei Dongling carefully planned a plan, perhaps it was better to say that it was a plan. It is no exaggeration to say that the reaction and means of Warner and other companies are as he expected, and naturally they have the corresponding means to deal with it.

The only thing left was the parade, but fortunately he reacted in time and defused the trick in time. It is undeniable that everything Xiao Ran has done since he came to Hollywood has actually been premeditated. The most fortunate thing is to get Lao Si's help under the accident, in fact, this can't be said to be an accident, Xiao Ran knows that Lao Si will definitely agree under Lao Lu's advice.

As for those small theaters, Xiao Ran not only let Universal control the equity, but also let Charm Pictures control it, so that it could be smoothly recognized with the help of Universal. This step is very important, it can be advanced or retreated, as long as it is carried to a certain extent, when Xiao Ran is not satisfied with the five major cinema lines, he can take the opportunity to push these small cinema chains up to compete.

At that time, it will be easy for the small theater chains that have won the Phantom and Universal Refined blockbusters to develop quickly. Now that the Phantom has successfully gained a foothold with the help of the Universal, it can be said that it has won the recognition of most of the industry, and there is no need to be afraid of Warner and Disney doing anything. Next, it's time to wrestle on the film.

According to Xiao Ran's habit, he should have solved Warner and Disney together this time. However, some things are always like this, especially in the film industry, if Xiao Ran wants to stand firm, he has to give up something.

Xiao Ran happily came to the balcony and looked at the row of familiar English on the mountain, and chuckled: "Hollywood, when I stand firm here, then this place will belong to me!" ”

Turner was helpless, but Michael was very irritable, and Turner even believed that if Xiao Ran was in front of Lao Mai, Brother Mai would definitely strangle that kid unceremoniously. However, Xiao Ran didn't even need to see them, he had already skillfully and indirectly defused their attacks.

Just as Xiao Ran had to allow Haile to enter with the acquiescence of Golden Harvest and Debao, now that the theater has surrendered to Xiao Ran, Turner and Michael can't do anything about the Phantom. Moreover, Phantom is not a company like Haile and Hongguo that has no foundation, and its strength is definitely no less than the alliance of these two companies, especially in Asia.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Ran just needs to establish a stronghold or a bridgehead for attack in Hollywood, and perhaps he will take on more responsibilities in the future. But Xiao Ran can be sure that Phantom's core film business is still in Hong Kong, and it is still a Chinese-language film.

Turner and Michael had to reluctantly accept this reality, and now they finally knew what the dragon had described. This feeling, this feeling of gathering momentum and then quickly solving everything with thunderous means made them extremely depressed.

This made them feel that they were like paper in front of Xiao Ran, or as if they were all **. It even gave them an illusion: as long as Xiao Ran was willing, he could destroy them anytime and anywhere, and now he left them just because they still had use value.

Now they do have a deep understanding of Xiao Ran's methods, but they still can't fight against it. Now the situation is tilted towards the world, or it is more appropriate to say Xiao Ran. Even if they knew that something had happened in Hong Kong that gave Xiao Ran a headache, they couldn't even stop the roaring advance of the Phantom Chariot, which obviously made them extremely frustrated.

Tie Long stared at the two of them quietly, the corners of his mouth faintly revealed a mocking smile, these two foreigners thought that they could still deal with Xiao Ran without him, they couldn't help but think too highly of themselves. It wouldn't be long before the two old fellows would consult him, he thought. Moreover, Tie Long was sure to defeat Xiao Ran, because he knew that Xiao Ran had a fatal weakness, and he was even sure that as long as he destroyed that thing, the entire Phantom Group would fall into chaos.

This is his chip, the last chip, and he will never show it until the last minute. He also hopes to be able to turn over with this and make a real turnover, and these two old guys obviously have a high use value.

Michael roared, he couldn't tolerate such failures, especially on his own ground: "If it weren't for those greedy cinema businessmen, and those shameless betrayers, we would definitely punish them!" ”

Turner glanced at Lao Mai with disdain, punishing a fart, now the theater chain is still neutral, if it is pressed, won't people move closer to Xiao Ran? No one is going to have trouble with money, especially businessmen.

Michael quickly calmed down, this guy always likes to play the kind star in public, but in private he is a Disney tyrant who roars and vents everything. Turner and Lao Mai glanced at the iron dragon who was lazily watching them from the side: "What good can you do?" ”

"There's no way, since Xiao Ran has gained a firm foothold here, don't expect to drive him away." Tie Long knew very well that he needed to strengthen Xiao Ran's weight now in order to fight for greater benefits for himself: "Perhaps, you might as well worry about how you can avoid being driven away by Xiao Ran!" ”

"If that's the case, then I'm afraid you'll be the first to sweep the floor out!" Michael is not in a good mood right now, and it is already a rare thing not to roar at the iron dragon: "Don't keep anything for me, either say it to me or get out!" ”

Tie Long's face changed slightly, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, Xiao Ran had never spoken to him in such a tone, just by the two old guys in front of him. He maliciously cursed in his stomach: Sooner or later, you will be played to death by Xiao Ran.

"I think there's another way." Tie Long smiled leisurely: "However, I seriously warn you, don't try to knock down Xiao Ran or Phantom, that will never be something you can deal with." ”

When Tielong and the others were discussing this method, Xiao Ran had already gotten on the flight back to Hong Kong, and on the plane, he closed his eyes and quietly thought about all this. This time, can he snipe the conspiracy of the Hong Kong British political axe and stage the return of the king......

Happy Year of the Pig to all!
