Chapter 722: "Tornado" Blows Up Hollywood (End)

What Sun Ziming didn't expect was that Nobuyuki, a native of Tokyo, could also do good farm work, digging up the ground and leveling it, and he didn't forget to turn around and dig up the sturdy footprints that were trampled on. Under the scorching summer sun, after planting bitter gourd and celery, the two sat in the shade of a shady tree, watching the fruits of their labor.

"Shinnokun, I didn't expect you to be quite good at this job, not like a Tokyo person at all."

Nobuyuki, who had already seen the sixtieth birthday, seemed to be immersed in the past, and sighed: "When the Allies occupied Tokyo, my family's garden was changed to a farm, and I didn't do any work?" ”

Thinking of the elegant and quiet garden of the Shen family, full of melons, fruits and vegetables, Sun Ziming couldn't help but think of his hometown. Now they are very rich, every family has villas and cars, but the old people still take their children to work on farming.

The two sighed for a while about the past that they couldn't go back to, and the slender Kayo sent tea and snacks, pulling the topic of the two from the past back to reality.

"Sun-san, I have contacted Keio Juku, Waseda, and Kamichi, and they have agreed to cooperate and exchange with your Jingseo University. In addition, the University of Tokyo and Chiba University have agreed to accept international students from your university and exchange and cooperate ......."

Sun Tzuming can't help but thank him for replacing wine with tea, these are well-known universities in Japan and the world, but his own experience is still on paper, and it is normal to want to learn things from others and spend some money.

After talking about private matters, Nobuyuki began to talk about business, and Kayo Sato, who was half-kneeling in front of the coffee table to make tea, hurriedly put down the tea set and stepped back to stand in the shade of a distant tree where the two could not be heard.

Stretched out his hands on his knees and bowed slightly, and said, "Sun Sang, I am entrusted by President Panasonic this time to thank you for your work in the past few years. ”

"You're welcome, I'm also a shareholder of the company", Sun Zi Mingle waited for Shinyuki to get down to business. In the past few years, my friend has relied on cooperating with light and shadow to run the already debt-ridden global business. As long as his myth continues, it is estimated that he can do his current position as president to death.

After expressing his gratitude on behalf of the president, Shinyuki began to get to the point, "Sun Sang, your company's listing plan is underway, I wonder if we Panasonic have any cooperation opportunities with your company?" ”

Speaking of Panasonic without mentioning the universe, he couldn't help but make Sun Ziming's eyes narrow, and then joked: "Panasonic wants to become a shareholder of Light and Shadow?" In that case, someone else should have been sent instead of you, the president of Universal, right? ”

Shinzhi sighed and said helplessly: "Sun Sang, balance and vigilance abound in our East Asian nation, and this is not unique to our Yamato nation. While the success of the world made the top management of Panasonic happy, they were also worried that I was in charge of the world alone, and wanted to put someone in the light and shadow to restrain me. ”

Sun Ziming couldn't help but laugh and mocked: "It seems that Panasonic Co., Ltd. is also a family in the world!" ”

Shinzhi only smiled wryly and took the initiative to bring up another topic, "Sun San, can Paramount get a stake in light and shadow special effects?" ”

Well? Sun Ziming's eyes couldn't help but squint again, and Shinzhi hurriedly explained: "Sun Sang, don't get me wrong. You are the largest individual shareholder of Universal, and it is impossible for the affairs of the company to bypass you, Ms. Shirley asked me to pass on this message. The success of "Jurassic Park" and "Tornado" has shown that the future is the world of special effects movies, and Paramount will definitely produce special effects blockbusters, and they hope to participate in special effects production. ”

This kind of way of talking that wants to cover up is also only good at East Asian nations, Sun Ziming was silent for a long time, and then said leisurely: "Shinzhijun, under the temptation of wealth and power, you are no longer as wise and confident as you used to be in Dongbao. ”

Shenzhi bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Please also ask Sun Sang for advice." ”

Looking at the gray-haired Shinzhi, Sun Ziming suddenly sighed that fame and fortune hurt people, how wise this old man used to be. Now that the head office has sent him a scarecrow, he has begun to worry about his own gains and losses, and he has gone around in circles to ask for his own commitments.

"Shinnokun, you are now also a shareholder of Global Company, and you are no longer just a professional manager. In the past, Panasonic bought Universal, just to save face, but now that Universal has made a profit, how can they take the risk to replace you, not to mention that you also hold shares in the company. ”

Nobuyuki laughed at this time, laughing at himself, "I made you laugh." ”

Sun Ziming is a director, and he has a special study of expressions, and the old boy covered it up very well just now, but now there is no sense of relaxation in his eyes, and he can't help but scold: 'This old fox was slammed by him again. What he meant was that he still wanted to ask about the possibility of holding shares in the world! ’

was broken by humanity, Shinzhi also regained his usual elegance, and said frankly: "Sun Sang, although the price of light and shadow special effects has been repeatedly reduced, we still don't know the real cost and the operation mode of the special effects company, which makes us feel bottomless." Shirley: They did hint to me that everyone wants to own a stake in the special effects company, and we need to have the right to know. ”

Yes, with the box office miracles of "Jurassic Park 2" and "Tornado", it has foreshadowed the direction of future film development. Nowadays, although the price of special effects is slowly declining, it is not further cleaning the market and driving away those small and medium-sized companies.

Although monopoly cannot bring about an increase in prices, but will lead to a further decrease in prices, it is extremely unfavorable for film companies that have not mastered special effects production in terms of competition in the box office market. Not to mention anything else, the special effects of "The Peerless Catastrophe" are ranked behind "Heaven and Earth Collision", which also indicates that the release date will be later than that of competitors. What does it mean that two movies with similar themes have a release date at the back of the list?

Today's Paramount and DreamWorks have their own help, but tomorrow their films will be similar to the themes of light and shadow? Universal has an advantage over Paramount, but what if the future hits light and shadow?

Shin Zhi is already very polite, they are not concerned about cost and price, in order to monopolize the market, light and shadow special effects will inevitably continue to reduce prices to deter latecomers from entering this market. What they are worried about is whether light and shadow special effects will have obvious tendencies in the film market competition in the future as they do today.

If this problem cannot be solved, perhaps those giants will prop up a company to compete with light and shadow, and the arrangement of commercial blockbusters in terms of schedule is too important for them to take a little extra risk.

Shin Zhi helped Sun Ziming refill half a cup of yellow-green translucent tea, and said narrowly: "Is this a happy trouble?" ”

Yes, this is indeed a happy trouble, just like when Golden Harvest and Debao came to the door and asked Hong Kong Light and Shadow Company to come forward to stop piracy. Your strength has reached the level of a big man, and it is your responsibility as a big man to maintain market order.

After being silent for a long time, Sun Ziming unconsciously sipped his tea, and suddenly said: "Shinzhijun, if I give everyone part of the right to know, can I give light and shadow priority to get business?" Shares are impossible, we have a chicken that has just laid eggs, and it is impossible to distribute it to everyone. ”

Shinyuki also knows that if you want to get a stake in the special effects company, no one can give up the hen that lays golden eggs unless you give them a bargaining chip that they can't refuse. In the past, when everyone negotiated with CAA, they could be regarded as having seen this guy's ruthlessness and arrogance, and if they did it again, no one would feel comfortable. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was afraid that this guy would turn his face and make things stiff, it would not be his turn to negotiate with himself who was close to him.

"Sun Sang, it's useless. For your film company and special effects company, money is in the left pocket to the right pocket, and the negotiation table is simply a process. This will give you light and shadow companies an advantage over the competition. ”

That is, there is nothing to talk about, Sun Ziming put down the empty teacup on the side of his mouth, and said quietly: "Then do it according to the rules of the market, and the light and shadow special effects company welcomes a competitor." ”

Shinzhi sighed, whether Rao had done enough foreshadowing himself, or he still couldn't make the two sides compromise. If he wants to take sides, out of interest considerations, Universal and Paramount will let him tie up the chariot of light and shadow, and even Warner, and the other party is destined to be a plate of loose sand, which will be broken by everyone. And this young man may be able to rely on leading special effects technology to become the king of Hollywood, until the new special effects company can keep up with light and shadow special effects.

Sun Tzu knew why Nobuyuki sighed, and also remembered Tino's warning that Hollywood would not allow the appearance of King, and suddenly deflated: "Tell them, the special effects company can give everyone the right to know about the business arrangement, and will clearly mark the price of all special effects and cancel all discounts, including the light and shadow company." Also, I never wanted to be a Hollywood king! ”

"Really?"

"Really!"

Sun Ziming threw down the teacup and got up, the power of "Tornado" was too great, it made Hollywood mess up, and it also woke himself up. Any power must be checked and balanced, otherwise it will be opposed by everyone and become a real loner.
