Special thanks to the big red envelope of the book friend "Ghoul", the reward of the book friend 69460830" and "Black Sun Rulai", the monthly pass of "xingdm8385", and the "book friend".

1603311021211875804621219749", a dozen recommended votes for Mu Zili!

Including the long-term support of my "Congyun impeachment", "kkwt", "brilliant sorrow and thoughts", "Chinese Federal Emperor"!

If a film makes $10 million, Wonderful Pictures has to pay $1 million to the American actor. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

doesn't look like much, but the actors who are used for portraits have done nothing, which is equivalent to making money lying down.

And you can also enjoy free global publicity, such as awards, which are also owned by the actors, which is the most important thing for the actors.

The first battle must get off to a good start, so the selection of materials is very important, and the Yankees must be dumb to the point where they can't solve it.

The films selected by the chicken are "Pearl Harbor" and "Saving Private Rennes" with the theme of World War II!

Both are major productions, one reflecting the causes of the Pacific War, and the other setting the story after the Normandy landings.

Although congressmen who are strongly hostile to the League have asked Congress to issue a moss law banning the two films from being released in the United States, they cannot resist the curiosity and enthusiasm of the audience.

Everyone, including many congressmen, wanted to see how good the Soviets were at the level of American World War II campaign films.

After reluctantly letting go, the Western cattle finally saw the real film and television technology, which shocked them.

Hollywood blockbusters are famous for their high investment, big scenes, and multiple special effects, and they are good at shooting blockbusters that sell well.

Now the Soviets are just trying their skills, and they can step on their corpses and get N Oscar statuettes!

"Pearl Harbor" vividly embodies the romance, uninhibitedness, bravery, and fearlessness of American pilots.

"Saving Private Rennes" perfectly interprets the humanized care and the cruelty of war.

The audience was amazed, and Washington could only euphemistically approve of it in a few dry words.

Only Hollywood studios are very unhappy about this, because they don't make a lot of money from such a grand commercial film!

The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Times, Le Figaro, CBS, NBC, ......

Many Western media unanimously praised the two shocking films, and at the same time criticized the previous relevant bills in Congress as a clumsy act of ridicule and generosity.

Several major studios have said that they don't know how a film that celebrates the American spirit can threaten the United States.

As a result, the "Special Act on Restrictions on the Import of Soviet Film and Television Products" soon came out with an extremely amusing "Amendment".

To the effect that all film and television products involving the United States have an exemption exception!

This is tantamount to deliberately opening a shortcut for the other party in private after sealing the main road in a high-sounding manner......

Then the British and French media seized the grip and began to make a big fuss.

Claiming to be an ally of the United States, why can't film and television products involving domestic content be exempted?

Is this a ride-and-look bill? Deliberately excluding hardcore allies?

In any case, the Amendment is unacceptable to America's allies, because they are the producers!

This involves hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, and the United States can turn them away, but it has to compensate them adequately.

Across the Atlantic, the two sides began to fight, although they are allies of the same camp, but the brothers have to settle accounts.

Britain and France can afford to lose, that is on the premise of trade compensation, otherwise......

In order to make Washington suffer, the two countries took the lead in launching an EU-wide antitrust investigation against American companies!

Once the target is locked, it will be dealt with severely, and then the dumping of agricultural products and tariffs on import and export commodities!

Washington is mindful of the interests and attitudes of its allies, and hopes that this farce can end as soon as possible.

Besides, the other party is also promoting American ideas and self-grapefruit culture, which objectively speaking, is still beneficial to itself.

Taking this opportunity, the White House and the Pentagon also want to feel the bottom of the alliance and test the extent of each other's film and television technology.

Faced with pressure from all sides, Congress had to add a subsidiary clause in the form of an annex to pack its own allies in!

Washington, who was scolded badly, immediately changed the topic and began to focus on the Soviet black technology that had already appeared in the West!

The other party already has the high-tech technology that can create movie characters only by sampling actors, and they must get their hands on it!

Washington, citing threats to national security, has asked Moscow to provide technical briefs for its own review.

That's impossible to promise drops, you guys go while playing!

The chicken doesn't care so much, anyway, the Hollywood studios that have made a lot of efforts have colluded with the wonderful film company again.

Driven by profits, not to mention Congress, even if it is a fart?

During World War II, weren't the U.S. oil companies exporting oil in ships like Germany?

Not to mention that the two sides are far from fighting now, and it is completely on the premise of mutual benefit and reciprocity to cooperate and win!

"Flying House", "Super Villain", "The Incredibles", and "Zootopia" made McGregor, president of Universal, and Smith, president of Columbia, proud.

The four masterpieces and a wide variety of peripheral derivatives have made the two companies net a total of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Seeing such outstanding films as "Pearl Harbor" and "Saving Private Wren" fall into the pockets of others, American studios are so anxious that they can't sleep at night.

It is absolutely intolerable for such a top-level film to promote the patriotism of the United States, and the producer is actually a British and French film and television company!

Warner Company, which has the largest output, is even more imperative to win, and if it doesn't get a few blockbusters, it will definitely not give up.

The "Zombie Bride" and "War Pigeon Fast Fly" I bought last time didn't make much money, and this time I had to return triumphantly.

"You don't need to worry, since the two sides are partners, I won't treat you badly!" Yelena, who is dressed in a famous brand, now looks like a strong woman

Warner, the largest contributor, got the first two Pirates of the Caribbean, Universal got 300 Warriors-1/2, and Columbia owns the rights to War of the Gods and Wrath of the Gods (Greece is also an ally of the United States).

Of course, the price to pay is also expensive, with the copyright transfer fee of up to $50 million per film.

But after watching the sample film, the three major film companies that were completely milled paid the full amount without exception.

20th Century Fox, Paramount, and MGM are not as strong as the above three, but they didn't go home empty-handed.

Won "King Kong" and "Django Redeemed", "Gladiator" and "Van Helsing", "Three Musketeers" and "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" respectively!

It's all non-modern, which saves you more unbelievable groundless speculation.

The total transaction price of the twelve films reached 600 million US dollars, and the price was fixed, and the price was refused!

Whoever is too expensive, the gate is there, and you can shoot it yourself when you go back, and the box office will ......

There are also a basket of prehistoric movies such as "Fury", "War Horse", "Cold Mountain", "The Mummy", "The Scorpion King", "Troy", "Raging Sea", "Inglourious Basterds", "Prince of Persia", "Titanic", "Giant Catcher Jack", "Sherlock Holmes" and so on.

The actor president would never have dreamed that their bill against the Union would end up turning into a swaggering pass for the other side to enter the American market!

Under the banner of promoting the American spirit, the Hollywood studios, who advertise to serve the country and Min, have seized the dual commanding heights of morality and justice in advance!

The containment measures of the parliamentarians have become a cocoon for themselves, and they have to bear the additional responsibility of short-sightedness.

"Give Sam's back to Sam, especially the blockbusters!" The chicken can be regarded as a good thing to return to Zhao

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are currently two options for operating Myphone-1!"

Idle and idle, he began to entertain American businessmen who had rushed to Moscow from across the Atlantic.

When these telecom operators smelled the smell of huge profits, they immediately traveled thousands of miles to negotiate business.

The beautiful president in charge of the explanation is KGB agent Lilia, also known as "Swallow".

"In the first option, Party A must pay Party B a lump sum of US$500 million for operating expenses for ten years. In the second plan, Party A will pay Party B an average of $800 million in operating expenses every year for five years, including a down payment of $200 million! "I can't let you take Myphone-1 for nothing, anyway

"No, Madam President, the price is too high for us to afford! The total price in 10 years is up to 200 million US dollars! "AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph) President Blavin? Bill had to haggle at the beginning of the negotiations

The second-hand youth had already tutored Lilia before school, so she was not surprised: "Myphone-1's customer base is businessmen, players, celebrities, and the middle class who earn more than $100,000 a year.

Even if these people have a 1% share of the total population of the United States, the size of them is as much as two million. Each person can contribute more than $200 per year to your company, which means $400 million.

Compared to the total operating expenses of 500 million US dollars, it is not high at all. Our operating expenses for BT are also roughly the same, and are exactly at the same level on a per capita basis.

Mr. Bill, if you feel that this money is too expensive, then we can work together next time, if there is still a chance! ”

Didn't this president force the price cut because AT&T was the boss of the U.S. telecommunications industry?

Lilia will fight tough with super tough, and you'll be done with a direct knockout, and there are several other operators anyway.

Seeing the other party talking so eloquently, the other presidents who still wanted to take advantage of the situation immediately kept silent and thought of countermeasures.

was suddenly shot and extinguished by herself, and Lilia could continue to mill the brains of this group of self-confident guys: "In terms of specific operations, customers can choose to buy a $1,999 mobile phone, then apply for a $499 network access fee, and then pay a monthly fee of $99 per month, for a total of $6,062!"

Or you can opt for a three-year 36-month installment plan with a $499 down payment followed by a monthly payment of $199 for a total price of $7,663.

Similar to the installment model for the purchase of houses and vehicles, except that within three years, the operator is paid 26.4% more, and the mobile phone purchased in this way also becomes a contract machine! ”

Don't be surprised, Motorola's DynaTAC8000X, released in 1985, costs a whopping $3,995 for just a mobile phone!

The presidents have seen the solid "foundation" of the other party, and have thoroughly understood the operation of mobile phones, and even go deeper than themselves in terms of calculation.

However, the model of the contract machine with a down payment of $499 introduced by the other party seems to be more attractive and can stimulate the purchase desire of ordinary consumers.

"Of course, what I'm talking about is just a suggestion, and my company will not forcibly interfere with how to price specific operators!" Lilia was the point

The chicken sat in the corner and thought: No matter how high your IQ is, you can't escape the clutches of Lao Tzu! When you finish paying, Lao Tzu will launch Myphone-1Plus and Myphone-2 next year!

"Do we have to pay this amount for each family, or can we form a partner and make the payment?" Atlantic Bell President Eddie? House carefully avoided the $500 million figure

He didn't want to accept such a high price now, and when the conversation was almost over, it was not too late to set the price.

"If you pay $500 million, you give the right to operate to an operator. If two pay, they will give two, and so on. However, I believe that AT&T will take the lead with its large customer base! Lilia didn't say whether it would be an equal share or multiple charges

Eddie? House was not an idiot to be the president, and immediately began to ask the question: "So if the two companies cooperate, the operating expenses of each company can be reduced to 250 million US dollars?" ”

"If a company pays us $500 million, then start operating Myphone-1 right away! If the two companies pay a total of $500 million, they will need to postpone operations for 6 months and operate in half a year! "Everything the other party can think of, the chicken has already told Lilia.

Aren't you trying to get a discount in disguise? Then you don't mind taking advantage of the "discounted price" during operating hours!

This will successfully divert the focus of the conversation and avoid getting tangled up in paying the operating expenses in installments.

"I'm afraid that after we buy the operation rights, your company will soon launch a new product, right?" Blevin? Bill's point is to the point

"Do you want to even pack the manufacturing rights?"

"If you can!" In addition to telecommunications operations, AT&T is also an equipment manufacturer.

"Our supply price to operators is $1,499 per unit, and based on the retail price of 1999, we can net $500 per unit. If your company is interested in assembling parts, you can get a price of $1299 for parts! ”

It's $200 cheaper, it's not too much, it's a lot less, and if you're willing to save your own machine, then please.

Several other CEOs listened to this offer and were thinking about the advantages of AT&T's equipment.

However, considering the labor cost is not low, the advantage in AT&T's hands is so obvious.

Lilia was just talking about the product, but she didn't say that the production line was provided, if you want, please pay separately!

"I know that you may be forming a coalition to provide the same price for the low operating price you need to pay.

If five companies were to join forces, it would be enough to pay $100 million each.

However, it seems that I heard that BT and Deutsche Telekom are interested in exploring the North American market after getting Myphone-1! ”

Lilia was reminding these self-confident guys that their European counterparts had already gotten the right to operate the phone before them.
