Chapter 1494: A Stab in the Back

Cui Zhengyuan said that he is now a person engaged in political activities, that is, a politician.

Since he is a politician, he will definitely only choose the side that is most beneficial to him on the road of pursuing interests.

On the one hand, the United States, whose economy continues to languish, and on the other hand, China, which has always been thriving. Spielberg asked himself, and if it were him, he knew how to choose.

In fact, in recent years, the increasing number of Chinese elements in Hollywood's film and television works is also due to this consideration.

Therefore, in the face of Cui Zhengyuan's choice, he really can't blame anything.

Because of this, this old man seemed so disheartened at this time.

Cui Zhengyuan saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. Although his choice was dictated by circumstances, he still felt a little sorry for Spielberg's trust.

When C.J Group took a stake in DreamWorks, it helped this rising star stand tall in Hollywood, and finally became what it is today.

It can be said that the cooperation between the two sides is so perfect.

Without the help of Spielberg and DreamWorks, the Korean film industry would not have been able to make a special effects blockbuster like "Flying the Flag."

It can be said that the rise of Korean films is inseparable from the support of DreamWorks.

And now, once allies are in trouble, and it is really immoral to just walk away.

Of course, in the eyes of capitalists like Cui Zhengyuan, morality and the like are really nothing. If he just felt uncomfortable in his heart, he wouldn't care.

The key is through Guò's conversation this time, Cui Zhengyuan found that maybe he could change the way of cooperation with Spielberg and DreamWorks.

"Steven, perhaps, I have a mention, I don't know if you can accept it?" Now that he thought of it, Cui Zhengyuan began to verify.

Spielberg is, after all, an old man who is used to seeing wind and rain, and a little concentration is not a problem at all. "Say it. Maybe from a young person like you, it may not be possible for me to find a direction for the future. ”

Cui Zhengyuan waved his hand, signaling him not to be blindly optimistic first. "We all know that the film industry is inseparable from the support of capital. At present, the economic environment of the entire Western society is really difficult to support the application of new film technology. So you see, can we turn our attention to the emerging China? ”

In fact, the United States has experienced several economic crises in history. But no matter what the time, Hollywood has not stopped developing, nor has it been affected by the economic crisis.

The reason for this exception is actually the innovation of new technologies. From traditional film-shooting techniques. The cost of making the leap to 3D technology is astronomical.

The investment is so large, the results are not so fast, and the most important thing is that the transformation of the cinema line is more difficult, which is the main reason why the director is in trouble with Hollywood Pictures.

In the context of the general weakening of Western capital's support for the film industry, finding new sources of investment is a choice that Hollywooders have to make.

At this time, Cui Zhengyuan turned his dream factory's eyes to China in the East, which can be regarded as a choice.

But Spielberg was not without concerns. "Maybe we need to give away a lot of things. In exchange for the support of Oriental Capital, right? ”

It's almost certain, no one spends a fortune and doesn't get anything.

At present, China's film industry is in the stage of rejuvenation and great strides, and it urgently needs the world's most advanced technical support.

If Chinese capital is allowed to invest in DreamWorks. It is conceivable that the sale of some core technologies is almost inevitable.

Cui Zhengyuan also made no secret of this. "It's inevitable, we all know it."

About his mention yì. Spielberg was both impressed and apprehensive.

Moreover, DreamWorks is not his own decision. As the other two of the DreamWorks Big Three, Jeffrey. Katzenberg and David. Finger's opinion is also very important.

So he said, "Let me think about it, but Lance, can you find the ideal financing channel that is suitable and understands the production of films?" ”

Cui Zhengyuan smiled slightly, adding confidence to him and said, "Steven, you have to believe in my professionalism. I know a lot of film companies that are authoritative in China, and I believe that they will be able to help DreamWorks in a difficult situation. ”

Spielberg finally made up his mind, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with them when I go back, and I'll give you an answer in a week at the earliest." ”

Today's DreamWorks can be said to be the second phase. The original DreamWorks was sold to Viacom by the Big Three.

The rebuilt DreamWorks began working with Disney after receiving funding from the C.J Group.

In fact, what the outside world doesn't know is that the new DreamWorks and Disney, as well as Warner Group, actually revolve around Cui Zhengyuan, forming a fixed Hollywood cooperation circle.

Over the years, the Hollywood movies that Cui Zhengyuan has participated in are all related to these three companies.

What Cui Zhengyuan has to do now is to prepare to unite these three Hollywood's most potential film companies, absorb Chinese capital, and become bigger and stronger together.

After ending Spielberg's conversation, Cui Zhengyuan immediately contacted Wang Zhongjun.

When he learned that Cui Zhengyuan was ready to promote Huayi Brothers to take a stake in DreamWorks and share DreamWorks' advanced technology with C.J Group, Wang Zhongjun was ecstatic.

In addition to praising Cui Zhengyuan as a friend, he also said that he would establish a deeper partnership with C.J Group.

At this point, Tong Guò Cui Zhengyuan's matchmaking, a super-large film consortium spanning China, South Korea, and the United States, can be regarded as having a preliminary eyebrow.

After this cooperation is formed, Cui Zhengyuan has enough strength to snipe Sony's major companies in the global film market, and finally kick Sony out of the film entertainment industry.

It's a pity that when Cui Zhengyuan was imagining the future ambitions, things that didn't go well came to the door.

He had just returned to South Korea and smashed his desk in the office as soon as possible. "What do you say, who agreed to sell the old building to Sony? There are also brokerage contracts for GirlsGeneration and infinite, why sign to Sony? How can they operate well if they don't have much strength in the Japanese entertainment market? ”

Cao Qitai, who was baptized by Cui Zhengyuan's saliva, was also discouraged. "These are all made by Director Cui Siyuan, and many directors on the group side support his approach, and the company can't do it if he doesn't agree."

Choi Jung-won waved his hand violently. The hot teacup immediately flew out and smashed against the wall. "Did he be blinded by lard and ignore it in order to get ahead?"

The old building sold this time is the original headquarters building of C.J Group, located on Namdaemun Road in Jung-gu. Because the building is too old to keep up with the current functions of the group, the group has been interested in selling the new building while building it.

But Cui Zhengyuan definitely didn't expect that during the time he left, Cui Siyuan's bastard actually made his own opinion. It was sold to Sony.

You must know that although this building is used as the headquarters of C.J Group, it is somewhat out of date. However, if you engage in other businesses, it is definitely a valuable asset.

Originally, he had some plans for this building, which he planned to use as a new profit point for C.J Group.

Unexpectedly, there would be so many directors in the group who agreed with Cui Siyuan's opinion.

This time, even Pan Jingzhen can't reverse the opinions of most people.

And what annoys Choi Jung-won the most is that the brokerage contract between GirlsGeneration and Infinite fell into the hands of Sony.

I don't know how many times before, Masaya Tatsumi wanted to get a brokerage contract with GirlsGeneration and infinite, and to run the activities of the two groups in Japan. But they were all politely rejected by Cui Zhengyuan. There was no consent all the time.

Sony is very powerful, but its energy in Japan is not very powerful. This is in stark contrast to Ai Hui.

In addition, the battle with Sony is becoming more and more intense. So for this big company, Cui Zhengyuan has been gradually reducing the intensity of cooperation.

Obviously, this is an option for Choi Siwon to fight for power. I don't know what deal he had with Masaya Tachimi in private, so he betrayed the interests of the group.

It's a pity that Choi Jung-won is annoyed no matter how annoyed. Now that the agreement has been signed, there is no way for him to change it.

After losing his temper, Cui Zhengyuan's face showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. "Okay. Cui Siyuan has really grown up. Knowing that I took advantage of the opportunity to stab you in the back, it seems that I still underestimated you in the past. ”

Cao Qitai glanced at Jin Yuhan, who had been silently tidying up beside him, and said irritably: "Standing officer, it's not a way to go on like this, after Cui Siyuan became the director of the group, the power in his hands is not small." In addition, there are many directors on the group side who are not very good with you, so maybe they will make trouble for us at some point. ”

Cui Zhengyuan waved his hand, and he was also a little angry. "It's not that easy, and I don't dare to go too far with his identity. Again, those old guys offended them badly, and now they will definitely not be on my side. Don't rush yet, wait until I find an opportunity to kick them all out one by one. ”

At the beginning, in order to prevent the C.J Group from being too clamped by the Cui family, Cui Zhengyuan made several actions and finally let Pan Jingzhen take control.

But in this way, he also became the target of public criticism among the Cui clan. It can be said that this time so many directors chose to support Cui Siyuan because they were afraid of being suppressed by him again.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Cui Zhengyuan expressed his worries. "Originally, we had slowly settled the deal with the Japanese side, and there were not as many activities as before. What worries me is that the signing of this agreement will give the Chinese side bad ideas. Well, help me prepare a special plane right away, and I'll fly to China tonight. ”

When he said this, Cui Zhengyuan was angry.

He has always calculated others, and he didn't think that if he didn't pay attention, he was brutally framed.

In today's international arena, the rift between China and Japan is getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached the point where it is almost irreconcilable.

As an entertainment company, if you want to succeed in China, it is essential to reduce your involvement with Japan.

In the previous life, the S.M company suffered heavy losses for this U-turn, and the results were not ideal.

Now he can only make amends. Before the Chinese side reacts, it is necessary to redefine its position.

Fortunately, just through Guò Huayi Company, a piece of flatbread was delivered. Otherwise, this trip to China may be very difficult. (To be continued......)
