After a polite greeting backstage, it quickly entered the theme of the signing meeting.

A chic in a white suit walked hand in hand with Barbara, who was dressed in a pink dress, to the scene of the signing meeting, and the appearance of the two as if they were wedding scenes immediately made the reporters on the scene flash all kinds of magnesium lights, and the cameras were all locked on this side.

Barbara used to be dressed in smart professional attire, but now she is dressed like a weak goddess.

This made the shareholders of AMC particularly surprised, they did not expect that the goddess in front of them who looked like a fairy turned out to be a strong negotiator who was aggressive and unyielding at the negotiation table before! In fact, AMC's shareholders passively accepted the outcome of this negotiation, and now the price is completely lower than their expectations, originally they planned to sell for at least 30 US dollars, but now the transaction price is only 2.83 billion. No way, Barbara is too strong, and only she can come up with so much cash at once.

Xiao Sa obviously didn't know that Barbara had fought for at least $170 million for herself at the negotiating table, and judging from Xiao Saga's salary, he wouldn't be able to get 170 million net income from playing basketball all his life.

Now Xiao Shao only knows that his heart is very happy, and the entertainment media before said that he was an arrogant and brainless idiot. And now the Hollywood-shaking acquisition is enough to give the real idiots a resounding slap in the face.

So, the signing ceremony was completed very quickly. After the two parties signed their names on the transfer contract, it officially meant that AMC, the second largest cinema chain in North America, was officially under the name of Xiaoshi.

After the signing was completed, the shareholders of AMC stepped down after a brief speech, and they were busy sorting out their cash.

Xiao Sang remained on the stage. He had more to say.

In fact, Barbara, who was sitting next to him, had already prepared a short speech for him.

Xiao Shi looked at the speech. Immediately, his brows raised. He liked Barbara's wording.

"Okay, friends, I am now the boss of AMC under your witness. Actually, it's nothing, it's just spending $2.8 billion to buy the second largest movie theater chain in the United States. For me, this is just a small step in the American entertainment industry, and there will be even bigger moves in the future. I said, I'm going to change America... Oh no, I'm going to change the landscape of the global entertainment industry. ”

The chic tone was loud and arrogant.

But there was no commotion in the audience, because even if Xiao Shi was bragging, he took out 2.8 billion US dollars to brag about it, and this cowhide is not something that can be blown casually.

Moreover, controlling the theater chain means that he has to take at least 45% of the box office for every movie released in his cinema. If every film wants to obtain higher commercial value, it has to get a higher stall from the cinema, and mastering the stall is the ultimate point of most film distribution. Although AMC is only the second largest theater chain in North America. But the energy is there, and it's time to bargain with the studios, or even overpower them.

"Oh, yes. The next step is to set up an entertainment company that combines actor management and production and distribution. I haven't decided on a name yet, but you can help pick one. I don't mind you using words like arrogance, because they seem pretty good to me! Xiao Shi continued according to the text of his speech.

There was finally a trace of restlessness in the audience at this time, because Xiao Sa's words had touched a bottom line in the American entertainment industry.

In the United States, brokerage, manufacturing, and distribution are strictly separated, especially brokerage and distribution.

However, now Xiao Xiao wants to merge it into one, and he is now the owner of the second largest cinema chain in North America. In other words, he wants to cover the entire film ecological chain, from brokerage to production to distribution to release, he is completely going to establish an independent kingdom! This ambition is too big!

Regardless of his reaction, he continued to look at the note Barbara had written to him, and read as he preached: "Also, we've got a couple of Hollywood superstars in place now, but I can't tell you their names right now. But I would say that we made an offer that they couldn't refuse. We will sign a high sharing model with them according to their market appeal, that is, their remuneration will become their share in the film, 10%, 15%, 20%, which is negotiable. So follow me, it's possible for a movie to earn 100 million dollars, 200 million dollars, 300 million or even 500 million. Are those agencies likely to get them that kind of high salary? Of course it can't be, because their brokerage company can't get involved in the production and distribution at all, and they don't have the right of priority in the theater chain. And I've got them all!! ”

As soon as Xiao Sa's words came out, there was a complete sensation below. They didn't expect Xiao Shao to dare to be so willing to spend money, if he really dared to do this, those Hollywood superstars would have absolutely no reason to refuse, this temptation is too great, much stronger than just taking 10 million US dollars or 20 million US dollars plus 3 or 4 percent of the box office dividends for a movie.

And for Xiao San, he is more cost-effective. Now the biggest cost of making a movie is to hire those movie stars with strong appeal. If they are willing to participate in the form of zero remuneration and high share, then the production fee will be greatly reduced, and because they own the theater chain, they can not only give a high number of films, but also get 100% of the box office income, without any share of the pie.

Once Xiaoxiao's large-scale model is successfully run, then other production companies and brokerage companies will be on the verge of collapse, because no production company dares to come up with such a high share ratio like Xiaoxiao... There's no way, this guy has a theater in his hands!

"Oh, yes. We've also recently purchased the rights to a number of wonderful novel adaptations. I can guarantee that each of these novels will surpass those Hollywood superhero series. Three hours ago, we spent $150 million to acquire two of the world's No. 2 and No. 2 special effects companies in Silicon Valley. I firmly believe that the future of movies will be the era of special effects!! ”

After Xiao Sa said this, there was a sensation again, they didn't expect that Xiao Sa would come up with a combination of punches. They originally thought that Xiao Shi was just here to announce the acquisition of AMC, but they didn't expect that this was just the beginning, they had unknowingly laid out a super-large situation, and once it was successfully opened, it would immediately cause a sensation in the entire entertainment industry!

And Xiao Po himself was also very strange, he turned his head sideways, and said to Barbara in surprise: "When did we buy two special effects companies in Silicon Valley??" ”

"Oh, that's right. I borrowed a total of $3.2 billion from Bank of China. But we've only spent 2.83 billion so far. So I used that money to buy two great special effects companies, which are going to make $30 million in net profits this year, and that number is expected to double from next year. Barbara whispered to Chib.

Xiao Shi nodded and continued: "Then what about the more than two hundred million dollars left?" ”

"Oh. Also spent out. Barbara replied calmly, innocently like a kitten lazily basking in the sun.

"What? Spent out? Where's the flower? Xiao asked loudly and in surprise, why did this loser spend money so quickly? Thirty-two billion is gone in the blink of an eye, and I don't even see a shadow.

"Oh, I invested $20 million in one of your entertainment companies in China called Chinese Brothers, and became their majority shareholder. I invested the other $200 million in a social networking technology company and acquired 65 percent of their shares in venture capital. No way, I've been playing Twitter so much lately, I think it's going to be a big social network right away, and in fact it has the potential to be a great company. Barbara said seriously.

Xiao Sa's head was blank at this time, he didn't expect that he hadn't done anything, and the $3.2 billion would be gone.

At this time, Barbara handed over four contracts: "Well, you can sign it." ”

Xiao Wan didn't even look at it, and signed his name and became the boss or major shareholder of these four companies. Before that, Xiao Xiao hadn't even heard of their names, but now he was their boss.

Xiao is quite helpless, but he trusts Barbara unconditionally.

That's why he happily signed it.

At this time, the reporters on the scene finally realized what they were here to do, and soon a reporter stood up and asked Xiao Sa a question: "Xiao, I just listened carefully to the structure of your career territory. I found that you are trying to change the rules of the game in Hollywood and create a new way to play, aren't you afraid of the boycott of this new way of playing, other production companies and agencies? ”

"If you're not afraid, why should you be afraid?" Xiao Sao said very strictly: "The backward rules should be eliminated!" ”

"Are you so confident in your new model? Maybe you'll be able to get a few chances on your way, but Hollywood is very realistic, and once your movie has a box office waterloo, then ...... All of your layouts will become waste, and you will even be dragged down by it, so that you will never be able to turn over. The reporter asked a little threateningly.

Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows when he heard that he was so dangerous, and he did not seek Barbara's professional advice. Instead, he said very directly: "First of all, I won't let movies that are not of good quality come out." Secondly, I have always been a good person to grasp opportunities. In the end, even if I did suffer a box office waterloo, even if my entertainment landscape was completely shattered, I would not be dragged down. After all, I'm a great basketball player, I have a strong business appeal, and I have money! I'm just so willful!! ”
