Li Liangjie heard Zhang Xiao's words and exclaimed: "I'll go, fifteen thousand fast screens is too much, right? If you add in the twelve thousand Suo Li, this will account for 100% of the country's total."

It’s thirty.”

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "So, film production companies will be very popular in the future."

Wu Jin added: "The problem is that now the top ten film production companies have become shareholders of Soli Cinemas. This is a huge threat to you. If there are cinemas but no resources, wouldn't it be just losing money!

"

"This is not a big deal!" Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "They can't be self-sufficient. They must rely on other theaters to jointly distribute to meet market demand. The real key is that the top ten production companies are too confused.

Well, they gave the distribution rights to Suo Li. If Suo Li wants to cause trouble in the future, it will be too easy."

Yu Qandao: "Distribution rights are like bullets, allowing Suoli to hit wherever he wants. In the future, if other theaters want to show movies, won't they have to look at Suoli's face?"

Wu Jin frowned and said: "What should we do? Zhang Xiao, why don't you also form an alliance?"

"It's not necessary!" Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said, "Let's wait until Suo Li gets into trouble. We're not in a hurry now."

Li Liangjie was still a little worried and said: "If you don't worry about the long term, you will have immediate worries. I'm worried that by the time Suo Li takes action, it will be too late!"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Suoli used low-interest loans to buy the film distribution rights of major companies. If it goes too far, we can directly help these companies pay back the money, and the distribution rights will naturally be returned.

Already."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly understood.

As expected of a rich man, he has a different way of solving problems.

As long as it can be solved with money, it's not a big deal.

In the following time, Yang Mi began to be busy with the construction of Qingtian Cinema Line. According to the previous plan, Qingtian will build a thousand cinemas, each cinema including ten cinemas.

Since they are all built to the highest standards, the overall cost, which was originally US$3 billion, has now increased to at least US$4 billion.

And now the Culture Department has given Qingtian Entertainment an additional 5,000 screens, which gives Yang Mi a greater choice and the cost has also increased by 2 billion US dollars.

Of course, this amount of money is nothing to Zhang Xiao, who has a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars.

As for Zhang Xiao, after filming the domestic version of "Twelve Angry Men", it only took three days to complete the editing and post-production of the entire movie. In addition, he will also film "Twelve Angry Men".

The English version of "Angry Man" was sent to actors who wanted to collaborate.

Good guy, the actors chosen by Zhang Xiao are all Oscar winners, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Rami Malek, Gary Oldman, Kasha Felix, Matthew McConaughey, Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Christie

Amber, Heath Ledger and other big-name stars.

After these people got the English version of "12 Angry Men", they were immediately pleasantly surprised. Except for the two stars who couldn't make time, everyone else agreed.

According to normal net worth, the salary of these people is more than 10 million US dollars. An actor like Xiao Nizi, whose popularity is directly proportional to her acting skills, earns more than 30 million US dollars, but Zhang Xiao only gave them 40% of their salary.

one.

The main reason is that the shooting cycle of this movie is too short. It can be completed in a week at most. Giving them a quarter of the salary is already very good.

Although Zhang Xiao's manipulation of suppressing film wages aroused the strong dissatisfaction of many agents, they could not bear the fact that the artist liked the script and could perform on the same stage with other movie king-level stars, so the agents had no choice but to accept it.

This reality.

After resting at home for a week, Zhang Xiao boarded a flight to Hollywood.

After he arrived in Hollywood, Chen Li was waiting for him here early.

In the car, Chen Li looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Mr. Zhang, the nominations for the major Oscars came out this morning, and they will probably be announced in the evening."

Zhang Xiao asked very calmly: "How many nominations did "Forrest Gump" receive?"

"What do you think? Chen Li asked with interest.

Zhang Xiao pondered for a while and said: "There should be no problem with the four major awards of Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture. I can't say anything about the others."

Chen Li smiled and said: "You are too modest. In addition, there are also Best Visual Effects, Best Film Editing, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Sound Effects Editing, and Best Drama

Score and seven other awards."

Zhang Xiao was stunned and said: "Does this mean that "Forrest Gump" has been shortlisted for a total of eleven awards?"

"Yes!" Chen Li nodded.

Zhang Xiao said lightly: "Well, not bad!"

When he was on Earth, the movie "Forrest Gump" received a total of thirteen nominations. Zhang Xiao thought that the director's level was much higher than that of the one on Earth, but he didn't expect that the shortlisted awards were even worse.

Having sex with the other party made Zhang Xiao feel a little depressed.

However, this also proves from the side that the level of film development in this world is indeed higher than that of the earth.

Seeing Zhang Xiao's expression, Chen Li was very speechless and said: "Eleven nominations are already the highest chances of Oscars in the past twenty years, and you only got one good comment from me. I really

I’ve convinced you.”

Zhang Xiao said: "This shows that I am very confident in "Forrest Gump". By the way, when will the Oscars be held?"

Chen Li calculated it and said: "March 22nd, there are still twelve days to go."

"That's good!" Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Has the set of "Twelve Angry Men" been found, and are the rest of the crew in place?"

Chen Li nodded and said: "The production set was completed three days ago according to your wishes. All departments have arrived, even a few actors have arrived, and the rest will be ready before the press conference tomorrow afternoon.

Arrive."

"That's good!" Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Has there been any movement between Suo Li and Viacom during this period?"

Chen Li said: "In addition to building theater chains, Suo Li also purchased a TV station and shot four TV series and eight movies in one go. They should be the inventory of Columbia Corporation."

"Viacom has also made very big moves. It has carried out drastic reforms at Paramount. All important positions have been replaced. There are nine movies in preparation, one of which is "The Storm" by Chinese Hong Kong director John Woo.

!”

Zhang Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and then it became clear that among the Chinese directors in Hollywood, the one who had the best success was not Ang Lee but John Woo. With the two popular films "Broken Sword" and "Face/Face", John Woo was in

It can be said that Hollywood is in a state of prosperity.

Director Li's shooting style is more delicate, while John Woo's three big scenes and violent aesthetics make the latter more popular among investors.

However, Zhang Xiao clearly remembers that John Woo on earth encountered a disaster when he was filming "The Wind and Rain" in Hollywood. He invested 120 million U.S. dollars, but the box office was only over 70 million U.S. dollars. This made John Woo directly go from a box office elixir to a

A box office poison.
