On the second floor of the villa, the third master sat behind the desk in the study, looking like a guest, and when the aunt brought the tea, the third master glanced at Shao Yingying.

"Things, I've already reflected it upwards." The third master, who was wearing a black suit, continued: "The fact that MGM is about to be unable to hold on has also been verified. ”

Shao Yingying heard it and asked a little eagerly: "What does that mean?" ”

The third master didn't rush to answer: "Xiao Shao, how much can you invest?" ”

Call.

Shao Yingying exhaled not very easily and said: "Smash the pot and sell iron, one billion dollars." ”

"If Zhongying does this, how long will you be able to earn MGM's two-billion-dollar loan?"

Shao Yingying calculated carefully, and he calculated what small-cost and high-box office movies there would be in the future.

"Chairman Han, I can't guarantee this, I don't believe that any business manager will sign a contract on how long he can repay a $2 billion loan while running a business." Shao Yingying finally said toughly: "What I can guarantee is that I will immediately stop the collapse of MGM when I accept it, and at the same time, I will never be like now, and I will not even be able to make up the money to repay the loan." ”

The third master nodded.

"Don't get excited, it's such a big deal after all, you can't make a decision without letting me ask clearly, can you?"

Shao Yingying was not as excited as the third master said, but his tone of voice changed a little, because there was still a group of companions waiting for news standing in his villa.

"Then you think, after you accept MGM. How long does it take for MGM to go from loss to profit? ”

When the third master finished asking this sentence, Shao Yingying was not thinking about it, and raised a finger very firmly and said, "Two years!" ”

"What??"

The third master's eyes widened. If the purpose of buying MGM is to let more foreign film technology enter the country and turn the country into a high-quality film manufacturing base, then the $5 billion spent will not be lost, even if Shao Yingying does not guarantee to turn losses into profits, it is not unworthwhile. But in two years, MGM can be completely cured of cancer, which is a bit of a big deal, who doesn't know that the North American market no longer relies on box office profits? Even Shao Yingying has the ability to go through the sky, and he can make waves in the box office market. The sales of peripheral products related to the film market can't keep up, and they will definitely not be able to meet the promise you Shao Yingying.

"So confident?"

Shao Yingying said firmly: "Yes! ”

"Good!" The third master dragged a long voice and praised: "I appreciate the sharpness of young people." ”

The third master looked at Shao Yingying's gaze becoming more and more complicated, and then suddenly stopped saying a word, and sat in the room very calmly without moving.

See this. Shao Yingying was stunned, he didn't understand what the third master was for.

"Chairman Han, weren't you asking what those Huayi artists were doing outside the door when you entered the door just now? I tell you that they are putting every penny they have earned over the years on the table. for. It's for me, a person who has already stepped out of the country, to stand up and hold on in Hollywood. ”

Shao Yingying stretched out his hand and pointed to the door and said: "You may not know how they make this money, but I know, I know that they have had the experience of breaking a steamed bun in half when they were not famous, and there were times when they couldn't pay the heating bill and sipped a small red star two pot heads to keep warm." Shao Yingying put down his hand and said: "Even so, after they have money, they still haven't forgotten what they stepped into this industry for, they want people to see that there are still people in the new generation of domestic artists who can go out." Even if the person is not themselves. ”

The French playwright Molière said that the people in this circle are like a woman's process of depravity, at first for love. Later it was all about the money. Shao Yingying turned his head and took a breath, and said softly: "No, I don't admit these words, because those people standing outside, I don't recognize these words in my life." ”

After Shao Yingying said all the words, the room fell into silence again, and he finally said what he thought in his heart, in fact, he only wanted to say one thing, for the movie, he and his artists can pay a qiē.

After a long time, the third master spoke: "Xiao Shao......"

"You reminded me of the dream I had when I sat in this position, and when I sat in this position, I also thought about making our movies so that you can see them all over the world, like Hollywood. But then I found out that I was wrong, and many things will be different depending on the country. The United States is a country of immigrants, whether they discriminate or not, at least they allow different cultures to exist, so there is Hollywood, because they can make films on all subjects in this world, even if they are denied. ”

"We, okay?"

This question makes Shao Yingying have a feeling of enlightenment, up to now, no country in the world has reached the degree of integration of the United States, as long as there is no such high degree of integration, it is impossible to develop a free filmmaker world like Hollywood, without this world, what do you talk about making ideals take off and let Chinese films make people all over the world chase? Even the ideal can't fly, even if Huaxia's economy is developed and the people have regarded movies as daily entertainment, the final result is still that the Huaxia Film Market has become Hollywood's box office, Hollywood, or Hollywood.

It is impossible for the third master to say these words clearly, as long as he is not a fool, he will not say it clearly, but 'We, okay?' After the simple four words are superimposed on the tone of inquiry, the answer will appear on its own, and the answer is, if Chinese filmmakers want to be recognized by the whole world, you can only go out, make movies in Hollywood, and then come back.

At the beginning, Wei Jiahui used this roundabout route to prove to the whole Xiangjiang how short-sighted their eyes were, and what the third master wanted to say today was the same as Wei Jiahui at the beginning, the difference is that the third master is looking at the whole world.

"Because we can't do it, we have to stretch out our hands, you, are our hands, and that's all the reason why we support you."

When the third master finished saying this, he spoke: "Now." I want you to do a few things, Xiao Shao. First, the acquisition of MGM was operated by Zhongying. Hero Huayi is not allowed to interfere, and declares that Hero Huayi and Zhongying jointly acquired, with Hero Huayi as the main publicity point; Second, I want you to show results in 2009 that can make us see hope, not that you will turn losses into profits in 2009, but you have to give me something to say; Third......" The third master raised his eyes and said: "Let your people be honest with me in 2009, and there must be no negative news in 2009." Lest people say that you can't even manage the company under your own hands, and when the time comes, it will be a slap in the face. ”

Shao Yingying was stunned. When he looked at the third master again, the third master was full of smiles: "Who are you?" ”

"Don't understand? That's okay, I didn't understand it, so I didn't say it. ”

"Don't!"

Shao Yingying stood up and said, "You mean, Zhongying agreed to invest. Acquired MGM? ”

"Is it useful for Tadashi to agree? I can make a decision and get the money to shoot "Red Cliff". Can you settle down to buy MGM? The third master continued: "Do you think Zhongying is really opened by our family? To tell you the truth, it was the person above who nodded. The leaders believe that this is a good opportunity for us to go out, and they don't want the domestic market to become a place for Hollywood to make money, we have to have our own things. Otherwise, why don't you think I agreed to come down at that time? I also need time to report back to my superiors, don't I? ”

is finally going to have his own stage in Hollywood, Shao Yingying spent a full ten years in exchange for his first real appearance in Hollywood, and he is no longer Shao Yingying who needs to be disturbed even to make a movie. This time, what he said was going to be loud in Hollywood!

……

Hollywood. Giselle appeared in the chairman's office of MGM in the context of the financial crisis, and the reason why he appeared here is very simple, that is, now everyone can see that MGM can't bear it, as long as MGM is annexed at this time, Colombia will be able to get MGM's film library, with these 4000 movies, Colombia will have the largest film library in the entire Hollywood, and the annual profit in the DVD distribution market will be an astronomical amount.

"Harry Sloan, can you think of anything else but us?" Giselle leaned on Harry Sloan's young hair, looked at the frowning other party and smiled: "You don't have to expect which royal family hidden in the Middle East or Arabia will save MGM, now this group of rich people are playing football, who still plays movies?" I assure you that there is absolutely no second person in this world who wants to buy MGM other than Sony. ”

"Sell it, you will have a lot easier if you sell it, as long as you nod, I guarantee that you are still the chairman of MGM, and when the time comes, you will have the funds, technology, and the game market materials and comic materials of the entire island country, and we will have to rely on adapting any movie."

Harry Sloan looked at Giselle in disgust and said, "That's what you're here for?" ”

"Of course not, I'm ready to celebrate the merits, and as long as you nod your head, I'll take you right now to drink the most delicious champagne and dance to the soft music of the prettiest Hollywood models."

Harry Sloan sarcastically said, "Thank you, I don't think I'll be able to afford to drink champagne in a few days, but I swear I won't miss that smell of intrigue." ”

"Why be so stubborn?"

"Harry, have you ever wondered what the result would be if you persevered like this? Are you so sure that the box office of "Super Body" can help you pay the interest on your payment? Even if you can make a profit, your investment in Superbody is only a quarter, and this amount of money is not enough for you to occupy even a small share of Shao Yingying's movies, right? I heard that Shao Yingying seems to be going to open an A-level system, which is an investment of more than 100 million. What if you don't make it to that point? I can analyze it for you for free, and the result will definitely be like this, MGM is bankrupt, the bank takes MGM's film library, and then at the auction we break the head for classic movies such as "007", the money, let the bank make money, MGM is finished, and you Harry Sloan has become the person who brought down the giant company in Hollywood, and even go to other companies to apply for a resume with this stain forever, you better think about who would dare to hire you in the current environment! ”

In fact, Sony's acquisition of MGM in history was for MGM's film library, such as the production company of "007 Casino Royale" in 2006, but after MGM went bankrupt, "Quantum of Solace" became' Sony Columbia's products, Sony's strong family actually watched MGM go bankrupt less than three years after the acquisition of MGM, and in these three years, MGM did not bring half of Sony's profits, that is, Sony used the $5 billion acquisition of MGM to buy the film library, that's all.

"I don't need you to remind me, Mr. Giselle." Harry Sloane gritted his teeth and said this, he knew in his heart that as long as MGM went bankrupt, his fate would be as tragic as the other party said, from a big guy to a reservoir dog in an instant, and it would be difficult to make a comeback in the future.

Giselle shrugged, "Don't think I'm hurting you, Harry, there's no way back for MGM, and if you give up this opportunity, we're afraid we won't have a chance to meet again." At that point, I'll be at the bank's auction like all the other studio owners......"

Backbite.

Harry Sloan's phone rang, and he is now estimated to be the same as the president of the United States, isn't there a joke to ask the president of the United States who is most afraid of receiving a call? The answer is that they are most afraid of receiving a call from Huaxia, because they are afraid of Huaxia collecting debts. Harry Sloan now reacts with the same disgust as he hears the phone, and even more upset if he asks for a call from the bank.

"Hey."

Harry Sloan got up and walked over to the phone, picked up the phone, and asked solemnly, "Which one?" ”

Then, he suddenly turned his head to look at Giselle, and his eyes seemed to erupt with fire.

After a moment, he smiled, the slight smile on his lips eased him, and then the corners of his mouth curled more and more, and the big ones almost grinned.

"I see."

Harry Sloan didn't say a word, and when he put the phone down, he looked at Giselle and said, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Giselle, I may not be able to accompany me, because MGM is about to hold a board meeting." ”

"The board? Is it necessary for MGM to convene a board of directors at MGM now? Aside from researching the sale of MGM to Sony, you don't have to have a meeting for anything, do you? Giselle said disdainfully.

"You're right, MGM is indeed going to sell."

Giselle heard this and said: "Harry, you have finally figured it out, you will be responsible for Columbia becoming the largest film library in Hollywood, and I promise that you will still be sitting in this office after the acquisition is completed, and you will still be the chairman of MGM." ”

"But it's not for Sony or Columbia." Harry Sloan poured cold water on Giselle when he was at his happiest.

Harry Sloan continued, "Mr. Giselle, are you going to go by yourself or do you want me to call security?" I'm sure there will be reporters who will be willing to watch the head of Colombia being thrown from MGM. (To be continued......)
