Entertainment Guru Rebirth

After playing happily for half a month and visiting several of the most famous attractions in the world, the two returned to the manor house in Los Angeles.

At this time, the major Hollywood companies have passed the most difficult stage. Although the stock market is still falling, the decline is far less than before.

The eight major Hollywood film companies have suffered heavy losses. The stock market has fallen sharply, with the least down by 40%. Among them, Fox was the worst in the 21st century, plummeting from US$130 billion to US$53 billion.

The Magic Special Effects Company was not much better. In just one month, the stock market dropped by more than 50%, from the original US$45 per share to US$22.

Countless small and medium-sized special effects companies and special effects studios in Hollywood have all gone bankrupt and closed down, and it's cheaper now.

From the outbreak of the economic crisis to the present, Magic Special Effects Company has added more than 600 new employees. Most of them are technical backbones of bankrupt special effects companies, and they are signed for five years. This makes Magic Special Effects both technically and talented. In terms of reserves, they all jumped to become the real world number one.

When Xiao Yunhai came this time, in addition to dealing with some magic special effects companies, it was more important to buy the theater shares of major companies.

Before leaving, he asked Daniel to pay close attention to the theaters of major film companies, and immediately notify him once the court pronounces a verdict.

The reason why Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing returned to Los Angeles in a hurry was because Daniel called and told Xiao Yunhai that yesterday the court had sentenced the eight major film companies to violate the American antitrust law and required them to sell their theater shares within three months. You can only keep up to 30%.

Xiao Yunhai coveted the American theater line, and naturally he would not let this opportunity pass.

His greatest strengths are two.

One is that he has close to 20 billion in cash, which is enough for Xiao Yunhai to cover all of North America at the exchange rate of 1:1.3 between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese currency.

The second is that he has no interest in controlling rights, as long as he and Han Hai's films can be shown. This is the key to his confidence in winning the theater.

Although the court ruled that the eight major film companies should sell theaters, it did not say to whom. If Xiao Yunhai applies MGM’s approach to other companies, he believes that it will be no problem to buy it, and it does not even require a premium.

However, what he worries most now is that after the outside world hears this news, they will definitely flock to him. Therefore, Xiao Yunhai needs to hurry up before them and act immediately.

He already owns 21% of MGM, 5% of Paramount and 10% of Global, covering the 43 states of the United States.

After some serious consideration, the two set their goals on Warner and Disney.

Because their two companies can allow Xiao Yunhai to cover the theaters in the remaining states of the United States and most of North America.

In this way, Xiao Yunhai's theater layout in North America can be completely completed.

In order to achieve this goal, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing came to New York and met Michael Eisner, who owns 42% of Warner Bros. Theater.

Michael received them in the office and said, "Mr. Xiao, Ms. Zhao, do you know how many calls I have received to buy Warner Cinemas in just two days? Ha ha, 18 stores, and sent someone to come in person There are nine of them, and the highest quotation has even doubled the market price. Ha ha, it seems that the theaters are indeed very attractive."

Under the influence of the financial turmoil, Warner Bros. Theater’s stocks plummeted, from 52 billion to 28 billion. If Michael didn't lie, it means that someone has raised the offer to 56 billion, which is much higher than the previous 52 billion.

From this it can be seen that the other party has indeed lost the money.

Zhao Wanqing asked calmly: "Why didn't you sell such a good price?"

Michael chuckled and said, "I hope I can wait for a better buyer. Seeing both of you, I think I'm waiting."

Zhao Wanqing shook her head and said, "You may be disappointed. We won't pay so much money."

Michael said: "What I want is not money, but the controlling rights of the theater. Hollywood has no secrets. I have heard about the agreement you signed with MGM. You want to show your movies without restriction. , And I need a controlling stake, so like MGM, we are the perfect partner. However, you need to buy 24% of the shares at once."

Zhao Wanqing asked puzzledly: "I heard that you only have 42% in your hand."

Michael said: "After the financial crisis broke out, I bought the shares of the other two shareholders, and now I own 54% in total."

Zhao Wanqing said: "Then how much do you need to sell your shares?"

Michael said: "50% premium."

Zhao Wanqing shook her head and said, "Impossible. Mr. Michael, you have to know that although we have bought the shares, we can help you continue to control the entire Warner Cinemas line, so that you will not have any worries. This is already huge. It's cheaper. Your premium is 50%, which is too unfair to us."

Michael said: "Ms. Zhao, don't forget, with Warner Theater, your movies can be shown at will."

Zhao Wanqing smiled and said: "It is not easy for us to make films suitable for the United States. It is very good to be able to show ten films a year. Mr. Michael, I hope you can show us our sincerity."

Michael said: "Ms. Zhao, this is already the lowest price they gave me."

Zhao Wanqing said: "But these people will pose a very big threat to your holding, and we will not. This is the most important thing, isn't it?"

In this way, the two of you came and went, after some verbal battles, finally reached an agreement.

Xiao Yunhai used US$9 billion to buy 24% of Warner Cinemas. Up to 20 movies can be shown in a year. The schedule is optional. The number of movies scheduled for the first three days is not less than 40%. At the same time, he unconditionally supported Michael as chairman of the board of directors, in charge of the entire Warner Theater.

According to the current exchange rate, 9 billion US dollars is 11.17 billion Chinese currency coins. Only one Warner company has spent most of Xiao Yunhai’s funds. Now he only has 6.2 billion left, and there is a Disney company. Theater.

Disney's theater line ranks fifth among the eight major theater lines, mainly in other countries in North America, with a market value of 18 billion US dollars.

The negotiations between the two sides went very smoothly and the conditions were similar. Xiao Yunhai finally bought 16% of the shares with 5.3 billion Chinese currency.

At this point, Xiao Yunhai's layout of major theaters in North America was completely completed, and he only had less than one billion in his hands.

However, the money has to be given to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at least 400 million, and the remaining 500 million is just enough for him to film "Inception."

After all, the heroes and heroines are Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing, and the magical special effects are also their own. The two major items don't need to cost a penny. In this way, 300 million is almost the same.

After finishing the movie, the two had just returned to Yanjing's home. Before they could drink water, Xiao Yunhai received a call from his uncle Chen Zhan.

"Yunhai, I ask you, is "Love Apartment 2" completed?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "That's right. Half a month ago, the film had already been reviewed by the Film and Television Bureau. However, at that time, the financial storm was too severe, so I didn't give the film to you."

Chen Zhan nodded and said, "It's okay now. Many advertisers are already active. I will send someone over to talk to you."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Uncle, then tell me first how much Anhui TV station is going to give me the advertising share? I saw this drama, it is very funny, not worse than the first one."

Chen Zhan said: "The issue of advertising division requires you to discuss with the deputy director Lu Zhejun. We are relatives after all, and I need to avoid suspicion. By the way, you hurry up and plan for me a variety show that can make our Anhui TV station famous."

Xiao Yunhai smiled bitterly: "Uncle, you think variety shows are so well planned."

Chen Zhan said shamelessly: "I don't care, you can do it for me within a week. Yunhai, just beg you, the ratings of Anhui TV Station are too low. Anyway, you have to help uncle. "

Xiao Yunhai asked: "Then why don't you just move "Run, Brother" and "The Voice of China" directly to Anhui TV? You know, their copyright is still in my hands."

Chen Zhan said: "I am embarrassed. After all, the Mango Terrace is where I have been working for 20 years. I really can't do it when I dig its corners.

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "What's the matter? The reason why I was willing to share only 65% ​​of the advertising share with Mango Channel was because the director of Ou Terrace agreed to push you to the position of director. The agreement was also cancelled. If Mango Channel does not give me more than 75% of the advertising share ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I will definitely not sell it."

Chen Zhandao: "75% of the advertising share, I am afraid it will be difficult for Mango Channel to agree."

Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Then I can only be embarrassed."

Chen Zhan said: "Anyway, no matter what, you can give me a show first."

Xiao Yunhai said, "Well, I will write it now."
