Margaret's arrival, although the people of Universal and Decca Records were very excited, but after greeting each other and chatting, they talked about business, not to mention the princess, that is, the king came, and it was the same when it was time to pit.

Fortunately, Margaret is just a person who stands on the platform on the surface, and she herself knows about business, so she definitely can't compare to Chu Xiangqian.

Moreover, the United States Music Company began to buy Universal last year, and has obtained 8.3% of the shares in more than a year.

Qualified enough to participate in Universal's shareholders' meeting, before the official meeting, Dylan Sanchez, chairman of Mi Guo Music, took the initiative to find Chu Xiangqian.

strongly invited him to join the United States Music Company.

And the price is also very fair, 10 million US dollars to give Chu Xiangqian 5% of the shares, and also invited him to become a board member.

This made Dicca very nervous.

But Decca's people didn't dare to give Chu Xiangqian more shares of Universal at this time.

Previously, Dika still had 79% in his hands, and after selling 20% to Chu Qianqian, there was 59% left.

In other words, Chu Xiangqian's stake in Universal was a separate transaction with Decca Records.

And Chu Xiangqian's heart is actually willing to become the main shareholder of Universal and become the main shareholder of Mi Guo Music.

He didn't want to control most of the shares of the world, which is unrealistic, and the government of the United States will not agree.

So for him, the stronger the collaborator, the better.

The United States Music Company is not only a giant in the field of records, but also the largest agency in the United States in this era.

It's so normal to want to enter the production field.

But in the field of music and brokerage, 米国Records is a giant, and in terms of making movies, this company is a rookie.

But the more novice you are, the more often you feel that you can do it, and even casually you can do it better than others.

Chu Xiangqian wished that after Mi Guo Music became the master of Universal, the box office of the main film department was lost.

Anyway, the distribution ability of Universal, which I value, as long as the movies I invest in can get the box office share of the top eight in Hollywood, then I will earn more than Universal.

Comparing the two sides, not to mention the management and employees of Universal, Mi Guo Music itself will lick its face to slap itself.

Even because of the pressure of other shareholders and internal shareholders of Mi Guo Music, he had to put the Universal Production Department in charge of himself.

I took advantage of the situation to push out the wrinkles and be my agent in the world, ten or twenty years down.

His power in Hollywood is definitely one of the best.

Chu Xiangqian looked at Dika's people and Dylan Sanchez, the chairman and chairman of Mi Guo Music, and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, I have no position to express my position in the negotiations between you.

So, what you talk about with each other is your own business.

I'm only responsible for making my own main investment and production films, and the rest of the world's business, even if I have an idea, I don't have the position and power to manage it. ”

Dika's people and Dylan quickly heard that Chu Xiangqian didn't care about whether the two companies were acquired or merged.

But this kind of indifference, to a certain extent, is actually biased towards the United States Records.

Although Chu Xiangqian holds 20% of the shares, he signed a contract with Decca Records.

In terms of share voting, it has to be biased towards Decca Records.

But Chu Xiangqian's main investment and movies, the higher the box office, the greater his influence on Universal.

The board of directors voted in favor of Decca, but in private it may be on the side of the United States Records, so the internal and management of Universal may also be biased towards the United States Records.

Of course, this kind of thing of selling friends when he turns his head, Chu Xiangqian will not do it openly.

"Gentlemen, we can actually collaborate on a musical."

Recently, in addition to paying attention to movies, Chu Xiangqian will also read the scripts in the Script Association when he is on the ranch in private.

And since Mi Guo Music and Decca Records are both music companies, Chu Xiangqian can't help but focus on musicals.

Otherwise, there are really a lot of classic movies in his mind, and it's no problem to shoot two movies a year for decades.

There was a script called "Millie Girl", and he took a fancy to it.

Since it's possible, buy it directly.

It cost only $800.

People from both companies were immediately interested, and in Hollywood, following in the footsteps of successful people, or cooperating, has always been the norm for investors.

Although Chu Xiangqian only has one movie released in Hollywood, it is a box office hit, and no matter who it is, he will be happy to chat with him about the new script.

If you think that the script is good, the investment is not large, and the estimated prospects look good, you have the premise of cooperation.

Since Chu Xiangqian bought the script, of course he doesn't mind talking about the plot of "Miss Millie".

Don't look at the name of the musical has two subs, I think the focus of this kind of movie is music and dance.

But in fact, the success of this type of movie has always been related to the plot.

Only when the plot is good can it be attractive.

If you can have one or two outstanding songs and dances, it will be the icing on the cake.

Chu Xiangqian just said the plot once, and Dylan of Mi Guo Music asked impatiently, "Stark, what do you think is the investment in this movie?" ”

Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, "It shouldn't exceed $4 million." ”

Dylan was stunned, but thinking about the movies that Universal has made over the years, it is almost between three and five million, which is typical of small and large.

Even if there are very few movies that explode at the box office, even if they lose money, they won't lose much.

So the 400 hundred dollars that Chu Xiangqian said, Dylan really didn't think it was much of a problem.

But in fact, Chu Xiangqian felt that the people who used Hong Kong Island behind the scenes might not need $1 million.

As for how to spend all 4 million, there are too many ways for Chu Xiangqian.

During the filming of the movie, he first hacked two or three million dollars, and if the box office was really as he expected, it could exceed 10 million.

Then the film will be able to save the capital.

is released in countries other than the United States, and how much money is made is pure earning.

If you don't feel at ease, just come up with a classic song that can be passed down for decades in your previous life.

In this way, not only should the box office be guaranteed, but the classic old songs alone are enough for Mi Guo Music to make a lot of profits from the songs.

Decca Records naturally wanted to get involved, and just received $7.6 million from Chu Xiangqian to buy Universal shares.

It's not hard for Decca to come up with $1 million.

But this company is cowardly, or it was also frightened by the music of the United States.

In the end, he only subscribed for a share of $500,000, and Chu Xiangqian, who listened to it, scolded a few words in his heart.

Seeing this, Dylan of American Records said to Chu Xiangqian with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Stark, Nami Music subscribed for an investment share of 1.5 million." ”

Chu Xiangqian nodded helplessly, he can't say that the more you vote, the better, and the more you can embezzle.

can only scold in his heart, but nod with a smile on his face, which can be regarded as confirming the investment of "Millie Girl".

As for the distribution, it must be handed over to Universal.

And this time, the film is the major shareholder Decca Records, the second shareholder M&S Fund, that is, the fund controlled by Chu Xiangqian, and the tripartite cooperation of Mi Guo Music.

Global's management, even if they want to buy shares or raise the issuance fee, does not dare to quarrel with three shareholders at the same time.
