Chapter 379 is Yin by Frank!

It's another day, and Zhou Shaoming rarely gave the people in the crew of "Fuse" a day off.

As for the reason, it is because Zhou Shaoming has something to do today, and he is going to meet with the CEO of the movie giant Warner. Meyer.

Why go and meet Barry. What about Meyer? These were all arranged by Jon.

Because although Supernova Entertainment is developing very quickly, and even some aspects are comparable to some movie giant companies, after all, it is a company that has only been established for a few years, although Jon is in charge, there are still many imperfect things under his hands.

For example, in the theater area, generally large film companies have their own theaters, which are used to screen the company's films, and also provide some peripheral services. And Supernova Entertainment has basically nothing else outside of a company building.

And the best and most famous and famous on the side business is Disney, which not only shows movies, but also sells all kinds of toys, although the movie is released to make a lot of money, but for a company, it is also very important to broaden its own income channels, if it is limited to the release of movies, it is not good for long-term development.

That's why Zhou Shaoming came up with the idea of buying some theaters, especially some theaters around the Supernova Entertainment Company building, and buying these theaters can decorate these theaters according to his own ideas, such as the killing machines designed during the previous "Chainsaw" period.

Or when "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is released, you can sell some Spartan cloaks and other props in the theater, which can not only do free publicity but also increase the company's income.

This way of making money is not without precedent, last time and space, "Transformers" and "Star Wars" were two movies. It's not just the box office results that are good. The sales of its peripheral products are also very hot.

How could Zhou Shaoming not be blushing? That's why this idea arose.

Of course. Zhou Shaoming is just meeting some relevant people according to Jon's intentions now, in fact, these are all Jon's ideas. According to Zhou Shaoming's thoughts, he only cares about making movies, but now he is the one who really holds the power as a supernova. Something has to be done.

And for a director or producer, it is also necessary to get to know these people. Just think it's a familiar face! This is Zhou Shaoming's real thoughts.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming found a secretary and asked her to help him dress up a little. Then Christina said hello and drove to Warner headquarters.

Supernova has already had contact with Warner at the Oscars and major awards before, so Zhou Shaoming is no stranger to Ruth, and Ruth came to Warner's headquarters in Burbank, California.

Looking at the palatial mansion in front of him, Zhou Shaoming finally understood how much gap there was between Supernova Entertainment and these giants.

"It's really magnificent, but I think that supernova entertainment in the future will also be so magnificent! No! It's more imposing than that! Zhou Shaoming silently read in his heart, this is not only his dream, but also Jon. And the dreams of all the supernova employees.

Thinking about it, Zhou Shaoming got out of the car. Walk into the building with a faint smile.

Zhou Shaoming had just stepped into Warner on his front foot, when suddenly two black security guards walked up, looked Zhou Shaoming up and down, and asked, "This gentleman, who are you looking for?" ”

And Roken, Howard and others, who followed Zhou Shaoming, also stepped forward, but were stopped by Zhou Shaoming.

Zhou Shaoming was a little stunned, could it be that his fame was not loud enough? Or is the spirit of the overlord not yet at home, and these two people don't even know themselves?

However, the magnanimity of a great director is still there, thinking about it, Zhou Shaoming said with a smile: "Hello, I'm Smith Zhou, and I'm here to find your boss Barry today. Meyer. ”

"You're Smith Chow? Oh my God, I didn't recognize you at all, you're so much younger than on the screen, my son likes you the most, by the way, can you sign it for me? After listening to Zhou Shaoming's words, one of the black security guards shouted excitedly.

The other security guard also came to his senses, but stood aside and didn't say much.

"Signature? Say. Since it is in someone's company, how much do you want to give them some face, thinking about it, Zhou Shaoming took out the signature pen he carried with him, and took out a blank business card paper, and wrote on it, "Smith. Weeks." These are a few big words.

The security guard carefully put the paper in his breast pocket, with an excited expression on his face, as if he had forgotten that he was a security guard.

"So, can I meet your boss now?" Zhou Shaoming asked with a smile.

Hearing Zhou Shaoming's words, the security guard's face changed a few times, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said to Zhou Shaoming: "Director Smith Zhou, let me tell you the truth, our boss specially explained to us today, if you come, we must block you at the door." ”

"Oh? Collapsed at the door? Why is that? Zhou Shaoming asked curiously, he really couldn't figure out why Meyer treated himself like this, as if Supernova Entertainment hadn't offended Warner at all before, right?

"It's not up to us little people to know, but I've seen Frank, the owner of Lionsgate, come to Warner. After he came, our boss gave this order, so I guess this matter has something to do with him. The security guard seemed to remember something, and said to Zhou Shaoming.

"Frank!" As soon as he heard this name, Zhou Shaoming gritted his teeth with hatred, since he broke with Lionsgate, Frank and Supernova Entertainment have been on the bar, although he always put his mouth on the cannon before, but fundamentally speaking, it did not hurt the interests of Supernova Entertainment, so Zhou Shaoming didn't bother to pay attention to him.

It's good that this guy has blatantly jumped out against him!

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming secretly said in his heart: "Frank, if it weren't for your appreciation back then, how could I have allowed you to keep jumping around in front of me?" I endured the three or two provocations before, and I repaid the favor at that time, the old account is not counted, and the new account is calculated at the right time!"

Zhou Shaoming has always been a person with clear grievances, the grace of dripping water. It will be reciprocated by a spring. This. It can be seen from several of Zhou Shaoming's friends that he will definitely return Zhou Shaoming's kindness a hundred times, and the same is true of Lionsgate Pictures before. I don't know how much benefit Zhou Shaoming brought to Lionsgate.

However, this does not mean that Zhou Shaoming is a person who can tolerate others infinitely, at this time, Frank's behavior has completely angered Zhou Shaoming. Since it angered him, there was a price to pay.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming calmed down and said to the security guard: "You tell me this, it is estimated that this job will not be guaranteed, you take me to Meyer now, and then you will follow me back to Supernova and be my security guard for Supernova Entertainment, and I will give you double your salary." ”

"OH, Director Zhou, it's my honor to be able to serve you." The security guard smiled happily at Zhou Shaoming and said.

Working in an idol's company. He is already satisfied, not to mention that the other party still pays double the salary? I thought of going home and boasting to my son that my dad worked for the company of the father of chainsaws. The security guard couldn't help but laugh.

"Director Smith Chow, oh, no, boss, you come with me." At this point, the name of the security guard changed.

"Director Smith Chow, can you take me with you? I'm no worse than that guy at all. Seeing that his companion just picked up a fat difference, another security guard on the side hurriedly came to Zhou Shaoming's face.

After thinking about it, Zhou Shaoming nodded and smiled: "Let's come together." ”

"OH, THANK YOU, BOSS, COMEON, I'LL TAKE YOU TO OLD MAN MEYER." When the security guard saw that Zhou Shaoming agreed, he almost jumped three feet.

Under the guidance of two security guards, Zhou Shaoming came to Meyer's office smoothly.

After knocking on the door of Meyer's office, a muffled voice was soon heard from inside.

"Who? Didn't I tell me not to bother me? "The voice is probably Meyer.

"Hey, old friend, I guess your beautiful secretary is here." There was another low laugh from inside.

Hearing this voice, the corners of Zhou Shaoming's mouth couldn't help flashing a sneer, this voice was very familiar to him, God knew that at this moment, he still clearly remembered the time when he broke with Liongate, this voice was full of disdain for himself, who else besides Frank made Zhou Shaoming remember so clearly?

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the office, and then a man with a little old came out, although his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes exuded a sharp light, and the momentum of the whole person was a feeling of being high, and at a glance, he knew that he was a person who had been in a high position for a long time, and the person who came was naturally Meyer.

After opening the door at this time, Meyer raised his head, and when he saw Zhou Shaoming with a sneer on his face and the two security guards next to him, Meyer quickly understood the problem.

Jiang is still old and spicy, only a trace of embarrassment flashed on Meyer's face, and he returned to normal in the next second, and smiled at Zhou Shaoming: "Father of Chainsaw, I have been looking up for a long time, I originally wanted to go to Supernova Entertainment in person today, but now that you are here, it will save me a trip." People are old and can't afford to toss. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Shaoming also smiled slightly, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, and nine times out of ten this matter is Frank making trouble inside, so Zhou Shaoming was very wise not to expose Meyer, but just smiled and said: "It's okay, since I'm here, can you invite me in and sit down?" ”

Meyer was obviously stunned, and then dodged his body very simply: "Okay, come on, but Director Zhou, you have to remember that this is Warner, not a supernova." ”

The latter sentence is already a warning to Zhou Shaoming, don't make a fuss because Frank is now in Warner, this is Warner, not a supernova.

The other party is strong, Zhou Shaoming naturally does not give in, this is the case at the negotiation table, if your momentum is a little weaker, the other party will definitely attack in a big way, without giving you any respite, Zhou Shaoming responded unceremoniously: "Thank you for reminding, it's just that I want another ten or twenty years, supernova and maybe not separate!" ”

Hearing this, Meyer was speechless, and a trace of anger flashed on his face, the meaning of Zhou Shaoming's words was obvious, ten or twenty years later, maybe the supernova would swallow Warner, and Meyer, as Warner's boss, was of course angry.

It's just, how long can I live? At that time, Zhou Shaoming was only in his forties at most, and it was the peak time, when he was really young and limitless, thinking of this, the anger on Meyer's face disappeared cleanly, and turned into a helpless wry smile.

in the office. Zhou Shaoming had already seen sitting on the sofa. Frank, who looked at himself with the same eyes. The eyes of the two collided in an instant. There seemed to be a flash of thunder in the air.

Meyer saw the appearance of the two, and shook his head helplessly, these two guys will not come sooner or later, they have to get together. Isn't this just to make trouble for yourself?

After looking at each other for a moment, Frank smiled coldly, and then said nonchalantly: "Director Zhou, how are you doing?" ”

"Thanks to you. It's been fine. Zhou Shaoming also replied coldly, and sat on the sofa on the side as he spoke.

At this time, Meyer also walked over and said to Zhou Shaoming: "Okay, Director Zhou, the purpose of your visit, Jon has already told me before, but it's a pity that I can't sell Warner's theater near Supernova Entertainment to you." ”

"Huh? Why is that, and aren't the conditions given by supernovae high enough? Heard this. Zhou Shaoming asked suspiciously.

"It's not a problem, it's just that you're a step late. Just now, I had already negotiated with Boss Frank that those theaters had been transferred to Lionsgate. Meyer's voice seemed apologetic.

Zhou Shaoming didn't see a trace of sorry in Meyer's eyes, but a feeling of schadenfreude.

Needless to say, it must have been the two families who joined forces to do it, Frank got the news before him, and then rushed to sabotage his own good deeds, and Meyer also gave up selling these theaters to Supernova because of some of Frank's words and interests.

In fact, it is easy to understand that the current supernova is a rapidly ignited comet, which has gradually gained the demeanor of a large company, and the speed of development is getting faster and faster, such a development makes even a large company like Warner a little red and jealous, and even worried that one day the supernova will surpass its own company.

And Lionsgate, although it is not bad, but in the end it is far behind, there is no potential at all, in this case, Warner is of course willing to help Lionsgate and not help Supernova.

"Is there no room for redemption?" Zhou Shaoming asked without giving up.

"It's not for nothing." Meyer said with a smile, and then looked at each other with Frank, Meyer said slowly: "I discussed with Boss Frank, if Director Zhou is willing, we want to buy Supernova Entertainment, Warner and Lionsgate each contribute 50%, the price is negotiable, and after the matter is completed, Director Zhou is still nominally the chairman." Movies can also be distributed at any time in Supernova Entertainment, but the shares are just transferred to us. ”

Listening to Meyer's words, Zhou Shaoming gasped, was it just that the shares were transferred to Warner and Lionsgate? After the transfer of shares, isn't Supernova Entertainment just an empty shell? These two guys are really underestimating, how could Zhou Shaoming not be clear about this simple truth.

These two guys have a problem with their heads? Is it possible to agree with it?

"Hehe, hey, it's good, it's just that I think I'll have to refuse." Zhou Shaoming said with a smile, although his smile was bright but a little cold.

"Hey, dear Zhou, don't be like this, didn't we have a good time working together before?" Frank said with a smile.

Zhou Shaoming almost vomited nauseously, he really saw Frank's cheekiness, this is the face of a capitalist, he can become friends with the enemy for the sake of interests, thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming shook his head and said coldly: "Since you are not willing to cooperate with Supernova, then forget it, let's see!" Saying that, Zhou Shaoming didn't bother to stay any longer, so he stood up and walked out, he was here to be angry today.

However, when he walked to the door and saw the two security guards waiting for him, Zhou Shaoming's mood improved a little, and he smiled at Meyer behind him: "Mr. Meyer, I think you should find two new security guards." ”

After saying that, regardless of the stunned Meyer behind him, he left the office with two security guards.

Walking out of Warner Building, Zhou Shaoming slowly breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed the depression in his heart, this is the real business war, don't look at everyone smiling, but behind the scenes, I don't know how many swords are waiting for you.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but have a headache, let's leave these things to Jon in the future, Zhou Shaoming felt that it was better to make movies, otherwise, there might be some chaos.

Thinking about it, Zhou Shaoming started his car and drove in the direction of Supernova Entertainment, as for the two security guards, Zhou Shaoming asked them to change their clothes first, and then find a way to go to Supernova by himself.

Soon, Zhou Shaoming returned to Supernova Entertainment, and when he arrived at the office, Jon was already waiting for Zhou Shaoming, and when he saw the boss, Jon hurriedly asked, "Boss, how is it, have you negotiated with Warner?" ”

Zhou Shaoming said angrily: "Don't say it, I met Frank when I went to Warner, and it is estimated that now Warner has joined forces with Lionsgate, and they have the idea of selling theaters to us at all." That's it, these guys also said they were going to buy Supernova, I really don't know what they said. ”

Jon listened to Zhou Shaoming's words, then fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he spoke: "Dissipate your anger, boss, this is normal, in the business world, there are no absolute enemies and absolute friends, don't look at so many film companies on the market, but in fact, most of the economic benefits of this industry are in the hands of the eight giants, and they will not allow a new company like us to get a piece of the pie." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Shaoming realized that he still knew too little about business and capitalists, thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming opened his mouth and asked, "Jon, then what should we do now?" ”

Jon smiled faintly, quite a sense that everything was under control: "It's very simple, we just run our own theater, and it's more convenient to buy others, but since people don't sell it to us, then we'll get it ourselves, buy other stores around Supernova, and convert it into ......a theater when the time comes."

Zhou Shaoming nodded, and then patted Jon on the shoulder: "Okay, then do what you want, if you have any financial needs, just ask Christina, the company will definitely support you." By the way, you should discuss with Christina about business things in the future, it seems that I am really not suitable, and I can only make movies! ”

"OK, boss, I'm going to do it perfectly." Jon swore an oath.

Zhou Shaoming glanced at Jon affirmatively, and then seemed to remember something: "By the way, Jon, there is something you should pay attention to." ”

After a pause, Zhou Shaoming sneered and said: "Frank and the Lionmen are destined to fight against us, I used to prepare well water not to interfere with the river water, but it seems that the other party doesn't want to do this, you want to find a way to arrange some people to enter the upper echelons of the Lion Gate, we have to completely defeat the Lion Gate, otherwise, Frank will always make trouble." ”

Now Zhou Shaoming is really determined to bring down the Lion Gate, because Zhou Shaoming clearly knows that if he doesn't do this, the development of Supernova Entertainment will definitely be restricted, not only Supernova Entertainment, but even he may have to face a lot of risks, the simplest thing is that he met his cheap cousin before, although in the end they were all saved from danger, but who would want to experience these things again?

So at this time, Zhou Shaoming started the idea of Frank and Liongate, since the other party has already made a move, then Zhou Shaoming has nothing to take care of, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me, although they are far away, they will be punished! This is Zhou Shaoming's creed.

"Boss" Jon seems to be a little embarrassed, and it is no wonder that although Lionsgate has limited the development of Supernova Entertainment, Jon has been in Lionsgate for a long time after all, and Frank is also a good person for him, and now he really wants to turn his gun to deal with Lionsgate, and he will not be able to do it for a while.

Zhou Shaoming naturally knew Jon's embarrassment, so when he saw Jon's embarrassment, he couldn't help but say leisurely: "You can do it yourself, don't be in a hurry to eat the Liongate now, let's take our time, we are still young anyway, of course, if we can bring down the Liongate and buy it, it will naturally be the best ending." ”

"Well, got it, thank you, boss, I'll go back and figure it out." Listening to Zhou Shaoming's words, Jon nodded happily, if he can really acquire Lionsgate, it will definitely be the best of both worlds, not only the supernova has been developed, but Lionsgate has finally returned to Jon's hands. (To be continued.) )
