After a while, after the exchange with Stanley Dewood, Zhao Donghuai called Ah Lu to entertain Stanley well, and saw him go.

This is real "serious" hospitality, after all, it is a partner, and Stanley needs to stand on the table to block the gun. The other party will still be the major shareholder of AMC Cinemas in the future, but it will cooperate strategically to release Director Zhao's films in Europe and the United States on a stable and large-scale scale.

Monica Bellucci's upcoming acquisition of shares in AMC Cinemas was initially just a means to trigger but not to trigger.

As long as Stanley cooperates, Monica will support the Dewood brothers on the board.

Thinking of this, he sat back at his desk and started a new simulation.

At the end of a three-year simulation of 3,000 prestige points, Director Zhao's expression was a little strange, he took a sip of champagne and sighed, "Your Excellency Stanley is still not honest, I am such a reliable partner, and I still play this kind of trick." ”

"Forget it, let's play with him first......"

A simulation to see through all the subsequent tricks of the other party in advance, this is too hilarious.

It's not that his surname Zhao is deep in the quagmire, the more you struggle and become embarrassed as soon as you fall in, and the faster you sink, but that the mall is familiar with the other party's routine preparation, and the soldiers will block the water to cover it, or make targeted arrangements in advance, it's too hi.

The first move Stanley plans to make is that after his funds enter the AMC, Monica will become a major shareholder? Stanley will find someone to arrange for a few waves of movies about money laundering for the mafia, and then use accounting and the like to put the money laundering dividends into Monica's share dividends.

At the same time, make fake accounts and give the other party more dividends.

Then arrange for outsiders to report and let the FBI freeze the funds and so on.

is looking for a relationship, his own Baidao relationship in all aspects, and swallows the money that Zhao Donghuai will invest in the future.

Familiar business field...... Doing things in the Dewood brothers' corporate turf, they have a lot of tricks, and it was only the first trick before, a small test.

"Let's simulate a few more times, and strive to brush out some of the FBI black police information first, brush it out, and I will have more friends in North America."

………………

Outside the Zhao Film Building.

Stanley Dewood walked out accompanied by Ah Lu, and when he saw the two figures in front of him, he immediately said to Ah Lu with a dark face, "I have my own secretary and assistant, you don't have to accompany me, if you don't worry, I'll stay at the Peninsula Hotel." ”

Although Director Zhao kindly arranged for someone to entertain him on Hong Kong Island's travel holiday, how could Stanley easily accept it when things have developed so far? ?

How can you do business, the other party wants to invest in your industry, and as soon as you come up, they will throw out your collection of evidence of various violations and crimes? ? Just.

Stanley has lived most of his life, and he has never seen such a shameless and turbulent peer!

He said this in English, and Ah Lu also smiled and nodded, "Okay, I wish Mr. Stanley a pleasant holiday on Hong Kong Island." ”

After such a long time, it is not the first time that Ah Lu has taken Liu Dehua to fish Huang Langwei's Ah Lu Zai, he has taught himself English well.

Is the boss resisting the customers he asked him to entertain well? Well, let's take care of it from a distance.

When Stanley walked forward, his life assistant and secretary, a blonde Yanma in his 20s, and a 40-year-old brown-haired middle-aged man also quickly caught up, "Boss? Your expression ......"

As a theater tycoon like the Shaw Brothers, Stanley Dewood is usually considered an old man, and after coming to Hong Kong suddenly this time, he left his secretary assistant outside the Zhao Mansion to meet Zhao Donghuai alone, isn't it because, which friend in the early years of his life was originally thought to be an old friend who invited him to play?

When they were temporarily separated before, Stanley's mood was excited, happy, and a little excited.

But his career secretary, Ben Stone, and Michelle, a 20-year-old Yanmar life assistant, both found the boss's expression a little cold and a little gloomy.

Stanley shook his head, "Go back to the hotel first!" ”

So he got in the car and set off, until he arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, and after thinking about it, he grabbed the phone and called, and waited one call at a time, and it was a while before he received a call from Warnerros.

"Rose, what kind of person do you think that Zhao from Hong Kong Island Pictures is your Warner Zhao, who released series such as Lone Flying Tiger and Fast Pursuit?"

The Stanley DeWood brothers became North American theater tycoons thanks to the North American Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission after World War II.

It was they who felt that Paramount, Warner, Universal and other large groups had formed a vertical trust system, which pushed the big Hollywood, and had to package and sell the projection department, that is, the theater chain, and transfer it.

Then there were cinema giants such as Regal (Emperor) and AMemark (Moonrk). At this point, Toei Toho of the island country and Shao Daheng of Hong Kong Island are actually the same as Warner and Paramount in the early years, but they were not defined as trusts by Britain and island countries to force them to split.

Of course, if you have a cinema chain, if you don't have a good movie, you will definitely have a lot of money, and at present, the cinema giants and Hollywood several major film groups, although there are often conflicts in the proportion of box office sharing, but they are also happy to cooperate.

He just wants to find out what kind of person Zhao Donghuai is!

Inexplicably, he never knew that, why did he become a senior partner? Partner?

On the other side of the phone, Rose was stunned, and was silent for dozens of seconds before he wondered, "Mr. Dewood, why would you ask such a thing...... You asked me to sort out my thoughts, that Mr. Zhao from Hong Kong Island, a Hong Kong Island filmmaker? He's a nice guy. ”

"If it weren't for his films, we at Warner might have to split up a few departments and sell them now, what kind of intersection or conflict do you have with him? If you need help, I can help you say something nice. ”

Is Zhao Donghuai a good person? Of course, as for the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts who are disabled or hung up by the big crews, they all have perfect pensions, and everyone is also voluntary...... Even action superstars like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie may be injured and hospitalized for several months while filming.

Isn't it common for ordinary Hong Kong Island or island country Dragon and Tiger martial artists to have disabilities in filming.

As for that guy crazy stomping on the image of international big names in movies and idol dramas? Those big international brands didn't sue? By the way, I remember that Nike told him that Eucalyptus was walking, and Meteor Garden was still bombing Asia.

Nike is too lazy to bother to deal with the lawsuit that no one cares about, after all, even if you win, it makes no sense to claim millions of Hong Kong dollars from ATV or F4 or something.

How much does Nike care about those millions of Hong Kong dollars?

You see that Coca-Cola and Nike are like that, Zhao Donghuai still sings every night, chic and infinite, what is this not a good person?

With Rose's words, Stanley DeWood was silent, he was a little puzzled, a theater tycoon like him called Warner, found the person who should be the most familiar with Zhao Donghuai, and asked the other party who was surnamed Zhao, and would get the evaluation of a good person?

What age is this? Can the adult world define a person simply by good or bad? Is that Ross a qualified businessman?

After taking a puff of the freshly lit cigar from Michelle, the life assistant Michelle, Stanley said calmly, "I'm not asking this, in business, what if my AMC crosses your Warner and cooperates directly with him?" What do you Warners think? ”

Rose took a deep breath, "Then I wish you all a happy cooperation." ”

Stanley, "......"

Stanley took another puff on his cigar, "That's it??" ”

Ross said speechlessly, "That's it, Zhao is a good person, a good person I admire in the business field, even if you can't cooperate in the future, it is good to get together and disperse." ”

"Anything else? Mr. Dewood? ”

Stanley rubbed his forehead, "By the way, I heard that you Warner and the surname Zhao haven't negotiated the theatrical release of the new movie?" ”

Ross said politely, "Yes, from new action movies to super science fiction, we Warner have made a lot of money, but his new filmmaker is not in love with ghosts, it is a romance film in which people and ghosts fall in love, and for Zhao, the span of movie genres is too large." ”

"Mr. Dewood, I'll tell you the truth, it's a big hit in Asia before the ghost is over, and if I personally say it, even if it's bought out for 50 million US dollars, you can gamble, but you know that our Warner has just stabilized the shelf, and the big boss is not willing to bet for the sake of stability."

"35 million to buy out the European and American issuance, Zhao is unwilling."

Stanley thought for a while and chatted with Rose before hanging up.

Most of the communication with Rose made him completely disbelieve that the other party was a qualified businessman, and the businessman, if this was his subordinate, would have been fired directly.

But the ghost love is not over?? Nice?

This movie will be released in Hong Kong on September 7, and it has already been painted, but isn't there a video hall? The Peninsula also has video tapes and color TVs.

When he found an English version of the video and watched it with his life assistant Michelle, Michelle was crying, "Boss, this movie is so touching and moving...... I wish someone could love me so much......"

Zhang Guirong, who loves the heroine so much when she died? What a big singer.

Stanley, "......"

He quickly grabbed the phone and called Zhao Donghuai, "Zhao, the ghost of your company is not over, didn't you negotiate with Warner and them about the release?" Now that we're going to become a partner, go directly to AMC Cinemas?? ”

This is not a small probability that it will be a love movie that can explode at the box office.

Have you used this movie to make a move first??

Because Warner, Universal, and Dilumbia used to be theater giants, and the screening department was dismantled by the Supreme Court, there was the rise of theater chains such as AMC, and the distribution was ...... They are really not good, and they can't pit Warner, Universal and other good docks.

But outsiders? Or a foreigner in North America? That's a game to play.

"As long as you are willing to cooperate, I will let my AMC channel fully publicize, it doesn't matter if you spend 10 million US dollars on the publicity and distribution costs, I am very good at the money of this movie!"

Is the publicity and distribution of 10 million US dollars to be recorded in the publicity and distribution cost of the theater side, so as to facilitate the accounting after the painting? After paying taxes at the total box office, one or two million dollars will be deducted, and we will divide it proportionally.

As for I'm bullish...... Its box office ended up being super rubbish? Isn't this normal? If the industry is optimistic about whether a movie is a blockbuster or not, how can there be a movie that loses money?

North America is like this, Europa is like this, he has the confidence to calculate (people and ghosts) after bombing Europe and the United States, Zhao Donghuai still owes him money.

This movie performed well and strongly in Asia, and Europe and the United States should not be bad, set him a small goal of 100 million US dollars, pay 120 percent of taxes, deduct 20 or 30 million for publicity, secretly box office, make fake accounts, and so on.

Stanley Dewood said again, "By the way, Hollywood Films attaches great importance to peripheral interests, Zhao, do you want to invest a sum of money to make something to sell at AMC?" The pottery machine of this film may become a hot spot in the future. ”

"I think you can throw millions of dollars to try ......"

With the development of the plot of the movie, the classic picture will definitely arouse the interest of fans, especially couples.

But Zhao Donghuai dared to invest money in peripheral sales, so he dared to make a lot of money and told Zhao Donghuai that he had lost everything.

Zhao Donghuai doesn't do it? Then you can try to persuade Zhao to count the production cost in the box office profit first, and he will pay it in advance, and share it with the big sales in the future, and then say that it will be a big loss after the big sale, and then deduct a wave of box office profits.

If you don't like to go into battle in person, and you are too lazy to make pottery by hand, the theater can sell souvenir pottery, and it is best to have another wave of Zhang Guirong or Adjani signed models......

This can also be considered merchandising.

………………

Zhao's Pictures.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Donghuai was speechless, Nima, how can you be so shameless?

Warner, who has worked with him many times, is not optimistic about his transformation from a new action movie and a big science fiction movie to the field of supernatural love, and does not dare to gamble with 50 million US dollars.

But Warner also has an offer of at least $35 million.

Stanley Dewood, an old thing, said that it was cooperation, that is, he wanted to make money by selling big swords, but also wanted to pit his money!

is shameless to this point, no wonder he is one of the theater tycoons in North America.

Kind people are everywhere, but most of the kind ones often don't make much money.

After ending the call, he simulated it again, and then grabbed the phone to arrange the North American release ceremony, and sooner or later he would have to jump out of the pit of making Warner and other middlemen make a lot of profits.

has already had contact with AMC, so you have to move and try, it's nothing more than to have a business battle with the theater side again and again.

As long as the North American official doesn't play as a black referee, he can't still get a Stanley?

His action is to promote the movie, handle it himself, Zhang Guirong and Liu Dehua recorded three new songs, and the three capitals of the weekly crown of the North American Billboard singles best-selling chart were completed.

On September 22, they sang songs, and the three singles could hit the charts in turn, so let Ah Rong run to continue the concert and announce it.

There is also Mr. Huang Weiming, last time he went to Haolaiwu to play ZZZQ, he played very hilarious, and he became an alternative celebrity, so he can also run to publicize it, after all, the ghost love is not over, Adjani, the big heroine, the role is not lost to the male lead.

This is more respectful of the actress than going back to the future, and there is nothing wrong with it, the heroine of a romance film, and the heroine of a sci-fi blockbuster...... The proportions are completely unequal.

But people and ghosts can also blow sci-fi special effects before they are in love!

On October 26th, the first cooperation with AMC was finalized, Zhang Guirong and Huang Weiming quickly flew to North America to do publicity, and casually accepted interviews with several TV stations or newspapers.

November 1st is Halloween in North America, is Zhang Guirong's new film a ghost love? How much in line with the festive atmosphere.

More fans learned the news in the follow-up TV shows, and their interest increased even more, and the posters of the ghost love were successively spread across hundreds of AMC theaters before the release.

Looking at the poster of Zhang Guirong hugging Yin Sabel Adjani to make pottery together?? That kind of warm and beautiful picture stunned many people.

Huang Weiming is also touted in the media, the ghost love is a super masterpiece, a sci-fi blockbuster, and the ghost special effects in it are absolutely amazing.

This is also a film, Adjani's roles and acting skills are not inferior to the male lead, and even the big female protagonist will be stronger many times.

In the midst of the touting, the time arrived on the afternoon of October 31.

Stanley DeWood stood in the AMC Cinemas Headquarters building, watching the scene of the first show at 6 p.m., and there was still a lot of time before the first show at 6 p.m., and there were already a large number of fans gathered on the streets, waiting to watch Leslie Cheung's film.

He took a puff of his cigar, "It seems that this movie will really have a lot of fans to watch it, and the box office should be good......

In fact, it is really good, from 6 o'clock in the evening, to the next day, when Stanley got up, he received a report from his subordinates, and last night, AMC1500 screens were released, and the box office was cut by 3 million US dollars.

This is Zhang Guirong's long-term accumulated fan appeal.

He used to help run the publicity of hurricane rescue, lonely flying tiger, and fast pursuit, running around and running the concert for so much, and now he is carrying a new song, or a great and high-quality new song as soon as he listens to it, and continues to run and publicize, this time he is really starring.

The explosive power of fans accumulated in the past really exploded.

Yin Sabel Adjani? has also been nominated for an Oscar, 30-year-old Adjani, not only her acting skills are not inferior to many Hollywood Hua Dan, but her appearance and figure are better and more eye-catching than many Hua Dan.

Two people like this starring in a tear-jerking masterpiece!

After watching the movie, countless fans came out crying, praising this is definitely a classic love story that creates a new style.

Hearing the report, Stanley DeWood directly instructed his subordinates refreshed, "Publicize it to the outside world, and live up to the name of the king of Asian music, the first night show box office of 5 million US dollars!" ”

"Blow, blow it for me!"

Waiting for his subordinates to run to do things, Stanley quickly grabbed the phone and called Zhao Donghuai, who was far away on Hong Kong Island, "Zhao, the situation is not optimistic, although the announcement of the ghost is not over, and your side has contributed a lot, but this kind of thing, especially people and ghosts are too in love, too weird......"

"Last night, the box office was only 500,000 US dollars in the United States, and I let my subordinates blow it into 5 million US dollars for follow-up considerations, you know? It's good that you understand, you are also a theater tycoon on Hong Kong Island, long live our understanding. ”

"I will continue to throw money at publicity!"

"I hope this drama won't lose too much, and I'll show you the tax returns afterwards, and you won't doubt the influence of the IRS."

After hanging up the phone this time, Stanley spoke to his secretary Ben Stone again, "In the box office where people and ghosts are not over, 2.5 million US dollars are allocated to other bad movies, and the IRS must pay taxes." ”

Ben Stone nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, the maid came from outside with a strange face, "Boss, something is wrong." ”

Stanley frowned, "What's wrong??" ”

The maid's expression was even more strange, "Just now, in a passing car, several black people poured rice fields at the gate of the villa and ......"

Stanley was shocked, and Ben Stone was incredulous, "Wang Defake? What did you say? ”

The maid pointed outside.

When Stanley and Ben rushed out, they were quickly overwhelmed by the pungent smell until the police came and checked and checked, including the maid cleaning and cleaning.

Busy until more than ten o'clock in the morning, Stanley was still trembling with anger, and he wanted to be disgusted directly, and when he wanted to leave home to go to the company by car, an explosion suddenly sounded outside the manor villa.

Ben Stone's secretary's car parked on the side of the road exploded...... Bendu was so frightened that he fell to the ground in a cold sweat.

………………

November 2nd.

When Stanley Dewood woke up in the office of the AMC Cinema Headquarters Building, he received a report from the secretary again that on Halloween, the ghost love was not over and the box office of 4.5 million US dollars was hit.

Stanley continued to arrange for its employees to contact the media and announced that Halloween would once again hit 6 million US dollars.

Then he called Zhao Donghuai, the same routine as yesterday, he said that he received 600,000 US dollars, and in order to stimulate the market potential, he falsely reported 6 million as high.
