0691 [Entering Hollywood]

The Democratic Party feast supported by Du Yongxiao impressed all the American Democratic Party bigwigs.

At this moment, Du Yongxiao not only got acquainted with McGovern, George Bush, John F. Kennedy and others, but also left a deep impression on them.

Afterwards, Du Yongxiao also did what he said, and the next day he contacted the Democratic Party to transfer money, and transferred 100 million US dollars within a week to secretly establish the "Du Yongxiao - Democratic Party Fund".

Although it is claimed to be a "secret", at this moment almost the entire Democratic Party knows that from today onwards, there is an extra young Chinese on their side to be their "big water throat", that is, "gold master".

The three words "Du Yongxiao" began to gain fame within the Democratic Party of the United States.

At the same timeβ€”

After Du Yongxiao's transfer of $100 million was completed, the US Democratic Party headed by McGovern also reciprocated the favor and began to let government agencies and subordinate agencies officially "purchase" Du Yongxiao's Microsoft and Apple software.

These two companies have just been established, and the system is very imperfect, and it is necessary for many customers to feedback, precipitate, and continue to improve after use.

This is a good thing, with the endorsement of so many government agencies, not only can it be sold at a good price, but it also saves the need to find experimental subjects.

These two companies alone make a profit of $3 million a month.

Du Yongxiao's TI empire gradually took shape.

As for Du Yongxiao's entertainment empire, it is still a little difficult, after all, Mike Jackson is not a big celebrity superstar at the moment.

But it's okay, with Du Yongxiao helping the gold finger to open and hang, everything is easy to say.

So Du Yongxiao copied the classic "Trembling" from Mike in the previous life, handed it to Yan Xiong, and asked Yan Xiong to hand it over to Mike to create a record.

Yan Xiong has been with Du Yongxiao for so long, and he also knows that Du Yongxiao is "talented", and he likes to help people write songs and compose songs when he is in Hong Kong.

It's just that Du Yongxiao is in a hurry and doesn't write many songs for others, but the first capital is a classic.

It's just that Yan Xiong didn't expect that Du Yongxiao could write English songs in addition to writing Chinese songs.

Yan Xiong doesn't understand music, but the lyricist composer he recruited with high salaries, as well as Mike Jackson, does.

At first, the two heard that this song was created with the help of the big boss Du Yongxiao, and the two politely thanked Du Yongxiao for taking the time to help write the song, but in their hearts they didn't believe that Du Yongxiao could write any classic songs.

But after they wrote Du Yongxiao's song and asked Mike to sing it-β€”β€”

The two were stunned!

Yan Xiong was also stunned!

Mike and the composer were completely stunned by the song's lyrics and melody.

Although Yan Xiong is not a professional, he also thinks this song is good, no, it is super good!

At that moment, not only Mike was impressed by Du Yongxiao's creative talent, but even the composer looked up to Du Yongxiao!

For Yan Xiong, this song will definitely be popular, then Mike will be popular, and once Mike is popular, then Polygram will be popular! Polygram is popular, as the company's CEO, he will also be popular!

At this moment, Yan Xiongcai had confidence in Polygram and Mike, he sharpened his knives and prepared to be the "leader" of the American record company.

In fact, Du Yongxiao is not worried about Mike's popularity, nor is he worried about the growth of Polygram.

One Mike is enough to hold up half the sky in the American music scene.

What's more, with him Du Yongxiao here, Mike's classic songs will be created one after another in the future, and it will be difficult for Mike to be popular even if he doesn't want to be popular.

By the way, there is also Mike's classic "space step", Du Yongxiao feels that it is necessary to mention Mike and let him "create" in advance.

Now, Du Yongxiao's headache is how to acquire American Hollywood studios.

Through investigation, Du Yongxiao took a fancy to Fox Company, one of the seven major Hollywood film companies.

In Du Yongxiao's view, this company is the most famous "unlucky egg" in Hollywood.

That's right, this unlucky company is called 20th Century Fox.

In the last life, every time this company made a lot of money, it would release a few movies that didn't make money in a row, and then miraculously lived again.

In the nineties, this company filmed Titanic and found Cameron and said, "Brother, how much does it cost to row this?" ”

Cameron: "Thirty million!" ”

"Brother, that's 40 million dollars."

Cameron said: "Okay, then I'll shoot, our highlight is the shipwreck, I'll buy an artificial reservoir first, shoot here, we don't need to spend too much money, just shoot half of it, and the rest of the shooting techniques and special effects should be able to save a little." ”

So before the film started, they had already spent a budget of $21 million and ended up spending 200 million.

Butβ€”

The point is that the drama "Titanic" finally won $1.8 billion around the world.

Now Du Yongxiao is fighting the idea of this 20th Century Fox company, because the company's recent dramas have lost money again.

In fact, since the filming of "Cleopatra" began in 1060, Fox has been running wild on the road of losing money.

Mainly because too much money was spent on the film "Cleopatra", including a $1 million salary for the actress Elizabeth Taylor, but the film did not do well at the box office.

From 1969 to 1971, Darryl Zanuk's last three years at Twentieth Century Fox were unsuccessful because several major productions failed one after another, but his successor, Alan Ryder Jr., adjusted the direction of the company in time and decided to make films for younger audiences, resulting in classics such as the Star Wars trilogy, as well as the biopic General Patton.

In 1972, "Poseidon in Distress" was released, creating a disaster film style that flooded the 70s.

Beginning in 1974, the company made very few films, because it fell into the "money-losing curse", almost losing one film and losing one film, until 1981, when the big oil merchant M. Davis bought the company.

Now that Du Yongxiao is here, he doesn't plan to let go of Fox and cheap Davis.

So, he's going to take Fox in one fell swoop!

There are at least three points to take down Fox, first, there are enough funds.

Du Yongxiao has no difficulty in this, he still has $100 million in cash on hand, and then he borrows some money from Chase, which is basically the same.

Second, have a plan for the future of Fox, not a one-of-a-kind acquisition.

This is very important to the Fox board of directors, so Du Yongxiao has to come up with a reasonable and feasible plan, and it is best to completely revitalize Fox.

Third, and most importantly, even if it is approved by the Fox board of directors, it needs to be approved by the U.S. government's department of entertainment and culture, because Du Yongxiao is a foreigner.

Originally, the third point was the most difficult, but now it -β€”β€”

As one of the biggest financiers of the US Democratic Party, Du Yongxiao, who is Chinese, has this qualification at this moment.
