"Sir wants to take a stake, doesn't he? I don't know how much money Mr. wants to inject? How many shares? Blunt asked directly after sinking into the couch.

"We want to invest $200 million and get a 35% stake and at the same time strengthen my company's partnership with Shadow Effects, but we need some control."

“35%？ no！ no！！ Sir, your asking price is too high, $200 million, we can only give 10% of the shares, and at the same time the studio must remain independent and not accept the dictates of laymen......"

Without control, Lin Mu naturally refused, and then argued with reason, and the two sides continued to negotiate, but as a result, this Blunt still refused to give an inch, and refused to agree.

Half an hour later, Blount looked at his watch and said to Lin Mu: "Sorry, I need to go to a meeting, and today is over, please Mr. Wang go back and think about our conditions." ”

After saying that, he got up and left directly.

Lin Mu pinched his temples and scolded in his heart: "Are these Americans so proud and ignorant? Why do you feel as if I'm begging them again? ”

"Robert, let's go!"

Lin Mu didn't have the heart to talk about it.

"The next time you go bankrupt, I'll come back and see if you still have that proud face!"

As for the frustration of the acquisition of the special effects studio, it gave Lin Mu a reminder: although he has achieved several big hits, in reality, he is still too weak.

It is inferior to many domestic companies, let alone Hollywood, which is many times more developed.

As soon as Lin Mu returned to China, he found that the entertainment industry was discussing a question - what is the structure of the 'Film and Television Alliance'? What exactly are the advantages?

And the Modu Film and Television Alliance, the first alliance to be established, has become the object of analysis.

Among the materials prepared by Sister Hua, the most authoritative film weekly in China, "Huaxia Film Weekly", was placed at the top. And its cover is a group photo of the alliance when the film and television alliance first developed the conference.

Lin Mu opened it and took a look, and the first page of the main issue was an analysis of the film and television alliance. Here's how it was reported.

"The four large film and television groups provide a large and mature team of film and television workers for more than 20 film companies in the entire alliance, effectively reducing the redundancy of their own human and material resources. At the same time, because of the high status, it is easier to obtain high-level high-quality talents from the entire league......"

"The 18 small film companies that have joined the alliance one after another are using the mature and huge resources of the entire alliance to serve their own film companies. Reducing waste can save production costs. Its role is to reduce the waste of human and material resources of the entire alliance. However, due to the lack of capabilities in all aspects, the human and material resources that these small companies can absorb are idle, or it can be said that the level is relatively low......"

"I hope that the company will be responsible for making a name for the film and television alliance, such as the opening of the film released globally, and the opening of the film and television alliance will be added, and at the same time, it will use Lin Mu's continuous star-making ability to enhance the international popularity of the stars within the entire alliance. Enhance the international visibility of the film and television alliance in order to attract more international talents......"

"That's why we want the company to have a say in the alliance. What all companies value is its ability to enhance the brand of the entire film and television league. If the forest loses this aura. Then I hope that the company will become an ordinary small film company, just like its small film company, it can only obtain the inferior resources of the alliance. ”

"The four major film and television groups, Hope Company, and small film companies have all paid. There are gains. Interests are entangled with each other. ”

Lin Mu took a look. A lot of things are analyzed correctly.

Then Lin Mu opened other newspapers and publications, in addition to the analysis of the film and television alliance, there was also an analysis of other film and television alliances.

But the newspapers all point to one problem: it's getting harder for small companies to survive!

"If anyone does not join the alliance. The smaller the resources you get later, the more opportunities others will have over time. It will be more and more detrimental to their own company. Therefore, no matter how hard the small company is, it has to join this competitive circle. ”

"The only way out for a small company that joins the alliance is to continue to make high-quality films, so that it will naturally attract more investment, more high-quality talent, so that its expansion rate will be accelerated by the excellent circle of the alliance......"

"And as a filmmaker. Competition is no longer confined to the company as before, because there are many people outside who are competing for jobs. The competition is fiercer, urging them to work harder. ”

"But it's also because of this opportunity. The competition in the entire Chinese film industry has become more intense, and the development will be more rapid! ”

After Lin Mu looked at it all. There were no constructive comments, so I put it aside.

On April 15th.

A recruitment message from Hope appeared in the Film and Television Alliance: "Recruit temporary special effects artists." The number of people is 40 and the period is 8 months, during which the work content must be kept confidential. ”

After the news came out, people within the film and television alliance were immediately surprised: "40 special effects artists, this is basically all the talents in China, what is Lin Mu going to do?" ”

Everyone was shocked.

"Could it be that Lin Mu's goods are going to make a movie again?"

They thought about it and thought it was really possible, because half a year has passed since the filming of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was completed, and it would be a bit strange if there was no movie yet.

Sure enough, they didn't wait long, and the hope company announced that Lin Mu had a new film plan, and the content of the film was kept secret, but it was confirmed that it was a script written by director Lin Mu, and this time it was still a blockbuster, with a film investment of 500 million, and the director was still Lin Mu himself.

"Haha, Lin Mu is finally out of the movie!" All the alliance special effects artists rejoiced and shouted, "I want to join!!" ”

If it's a movie that can be famous all over the world, they are very happy to join in, and when the time comes, they can also show off when they go outside: "Have you heard of "Survival"? I'm the special effects artist in charge of designing that xxx monster inside? ”

Speaking of which, in front of peers, it is a unique face, and when competing for other film crew positions in the future, it will be more competitive.

Other companies that were originally proud of the fact that they could borrow high-quality talents from Hope Company after forming an alliance were suddenly forced to do so, "I knew that the alliance was not as good as it seemed, and now as soon as the movie comes out, a bunch of people want to join the crew." ”

"Wait until this movie recruits set designers, lighting artists, and makeup artists...... Didn't the best people in our own company go to that crew? Are we not raising people for nothing? ”

Bitter ............ (To be continued.) )
