When the affairs of the United States crossed the ocean, the reporters in China were suddenly entangled.

If such a big thing is reported, it will cause dissatisfaction in the film and television department, but if you don't report it, you can't hide such news on the Internet, and then the news of Li Lin's ban will spread again, and the credibility of the newspaper will be questioned.

So they came up with a way to compromise the report.

reported the news of "World of Warcraft", but erased Li Lin's name.

"Huaxia Gold Group cooperated with Universal Pictures Hollywood for $100 million. Directed by Jackson and executive produced by Cameron. ”

"Contemporary Film" did not hesitate to treat the press conference scene as the cover of the magazine, but they erased Li Lin's figure, making a strange blank on the photo.

"Just yesterday, the president of the Gold Group and the president of Universal Pictures, as well as the president of The Coca-Cola Company, attended the World of Warcraft movie press conference."

"At the meeting, the father of the ring, Peter. Jackson personally appeared, Cameron was present, and announced the $100 million blockbuster, and the film adaptation of the game "World of Warcraft" produced by Blizzard Entertainment officially started filming. ”

It is reported that this filming is also the father of the Lord of the Rings, Peter. Directed by Jackson himself and produced by Cameron, the king of the world, the entire film was shot using IMAX-3D technology. ”

"After the movie is released, it will be divided into IMAX version and regular version and released in theaters around the world."

"What is IMAX-3D shooting technology? IMAX-3D is a kind of 3D technology, and it is also the top shooting technology at present. This technique is a huge capital to shoot, but at the same time the results are excellent. ”

"But in the past, IMAX-3D technology was not mature. The market is also immature. ”

"But now, Cameron, Peter. Does Jackson's first use of IMAX-3D technology mean that IMAX-3D technology is about to mature? ”

I didn't know that Apollo 13 was filmed with IMAX-3D technology long before "World of Warcraft", but the IMAX-3D technology at that time was not mature, and the global IMAX theaters had not yet been completed. Coupled with the fact that Apollo 13 did not cause a sensation in IMAX theaters, the director thought that "World of Warcraft" was the first IMAX-3D blockbuster.

After all, before, except for professionals. Few people in China know about IMAX-3D technology.

"The world's top technology, the father of the Lord of the Rings, Peter. Jackson and Cameron, the king of the world, are a joint work, and I can't wait to see this movie. ”

"It's unimaginable that a $100 million investment. Peter, the Father of the Ring. How Jackson and Cameron, the king of the world, will work together to shine. Is the legendary IMAX-3D technology a technology that can cause a trend in film technology? ”

All the newspapers are speculating, all are talking, and at this moment, everyone is looking at World of Warcraft.

Well-known game adaptation, Hollywood companies and Huaxia companies have joined forces to invest 100 million, plus Peter. Jackson and Cameron, even if there is no cast list, are newsrooms.

What's more, this movie is still a Sino-American co-production. Among them, the main funds come from Huaxia.

For Huaxia's newspapers, the investor is Huaxia's. Then the movie is Huaxia, and there is such a movie in Huaxia that has the potential to become a global hit, how can you not pay attention to it.

On the Internet, this matter also caused a sensation.

is different from the newspaper deliberately hiding Li Lin's name, the news on the Internet seems to be unscrupulous, especially Netease Honglang, they deeply understand what netizens want to see, but they can't help but listen to the orders of the film and television department, after all, they are not those small forums and small websites, and they can't afford to offend the film and television department.

So, they turned to quoting American news, and then translated American news into Chinese to report, in this way to save the country.

"Peter. Jackson's masterpiece "World of Warcraft" is coming, and Li Lin of the Gold Medal Group and Finkelstein, President of Universal Pictures, Brian, President of Coca-Cola, and McMohan, President of Blizzard, are personally seated, and Cameron is present as a producer. ”

The red wave quoted from the "USA Today" news did not shield Li Lin, allowing Li Lin's photo to appear in the middle of the presidents.

"I love Li Lin to death, "Warcraft" is actually adapted from the movie, Nima's surprise!"

"Li Lin was really blocked, and Li Lin's name was not mentioned at all when the major newspapers reported it."

"Protest, why was Li Lin blocked."

There was a sudden uproar on the Internet, and many of Li Lin's fans volunteered to go to major forums and websites for another round of postings, building momentum for their idols, hoping that the ban on Li Lin could be lifted.

Li Lin couldn't see these things, and he was also affected by this storm when he was far away in the United States.

"Coca-Cola's new move after the annexation of Universal Films, a $100 million investment, an adaptation of Warcraft, the father of the Lord of the Rings, Peter. Directed by Jackson himself and produced by Cameron, the king of the world, such a large amount of money proves that Coca-Cola is very supportive of the development of Universal Films. ”

"American Finance" brushed off the news of "World of Warcraft", and they paid more attention to the Coca-Cola Company, Universal Pictures and the Gold Group cooperation.

"The Gold Group from Huaxia and Universal Cinema have cross-shareholdings, and Universal Cinema and Coca-Cola will receive help from the Far East."

"It is reported that the Gold Group has been established for two years, but it has operated two of the most popular online games, and the annual gold absorption is expected to exceed 200 million US dollars, and there are two new games in operation, and the company's annual gold absorption will exceed 400 million US dollars after the operation is expected to be completed."

"In addition, the group also controls Huaxia's monopoly entertainment video website and a huge entertainment company spanning film and television songs."

"It will provide Coca-Cola and Universal Pictures with a huge promotional channel."

Although the increase was not large, the stock of Universal Movie only rose by about 100 million, and the stock of Coca-Cola Company only rose by 600 million, but the inducing words of monopoly and the largest made shareholders pay a lot of attention to the two companies.

There are also American securities companies that recommend shareholders to buy shares of Universal Movies and Coca-Cola, believing that help from the East will enable Coca-Cola and Universal Pictures to open up new markets.

In particular, Coca-Cola, with its cross-controlling relationship with Universal Movies and Gold Group, will surpass Pepsi in the carbonated beverage market in one fell swoop.

You must know that before, Coca-Cola's situation in China was not good, Pepsi relied on its strong star effect to squeeze Coca-Cola's survival room step by step, and Very Coke encircled and suppressed the two beverage giants through the practice of besieged cities by the people.

Although in terms of market share, Very Coke is not a great threat to the two beverage giants, but it still worries them.

After all, the Chinese beverage market is not the same as the film market.

The Chinese film market is sluggish, ticket prices are expensive, and because of the cinema chain, fans in many cities can't see movies if they want to watch them, after all, they have to run so far.

But drinks are different.

Drinks can be bought anywhere, and two or three dollars are not expensive.

China's beverage market has already jumped to the second place in the world, and it is a battleground for Coca-Cola and Pepsi, and now Coca-Cola has been helped by strong publicity channels to defeat Pepsi in one fell swoop.

This has been verified after the acquisition of Colombia by Coca-Cola.

And Li Lin's gold medal group also entered the eyes of American investors for the first time, and many investment funds and banks came to ask Li Lin whether he needed financing and whether he needed to go public, and they could be responsible for underwriting, which made Li Lin very annoyed.

"It's normal." Brian, the president of Coca-Cola, stood in front of Li Lin and laughed, "When you can give them profits, they all worship you as a god." ”

"But of course when you can't bring them profits, they will discard you like Satan."

"Obviously, now you are God."

"I don't like to be God, I don't want to go to heaven just yet." Li Lin pursed his lips and said with a smile, "The capital market in the United States is a wolf that eats people and does not spit out bones, and entering this market is equivalent to handing over the lifeline to others." ”

When he does not enter the capital market, he can still maintain a controlling stake and do not have to worry about others buying his own company, as long as he does not want to, no one can buy it.

But in the capital market, even if you have more than 50% of the controlling stake, it is not absolutely safe, because others can buy shares through the stock market and then join the board of directors to start financing.

As long as you are willing to spend money, you can drag down the major shareholders who hold 50% of the majority with huge funds, of course, you need a lot of money to do that, and ordinary people will not choose the kind of approach that harms others and is not beneficial to themselves.

"Yes, they are hungry wolves who eat people and don't spit out bones, I don't know how many company founders have been kicked out of the company by them, but if you want to raise money, you have to go public, and you can't just rely on banks."

"Banks can certainly provide you with a lot of capital, but this capital comes with heavy interest, and if you don't do it well, these banks will come to you and eat you to the bone." Finkelstein raised his glass and laughed.

"You mean theaters?"

Li Lin was thoughtful.

"Lack of funds, we at Universal Cinema can support it." Finkelstein smiled and nodded.

"Loans, or not more than 10% of the shares." Li Lin said: "As for the interest, I can give you 2% of the bank's increase." ”

"10% is too little." Finkelstein frowned.

"This is the only way, after all, I still need to sell some of my shares to those people of the red family." Li Lin said: "Without them, it will be difficult for the theater chain to move an inch." ”

"10%, and we'll lend you another amount of money." With a wave of Finkelstein's hand, and with Coca-Cola behind them, they simply don't lack money. (To be continued......)
