Xiao Ran smiled calmly, and felt a little happy when he saw the guys holding banners being kicked out by the security guards: "Of course, I was often told to get lost when I was young. I think it's a very good thing to get used to."
It's easy. People can get used to the close relationship between Sony and Columbia, and of course they can get used to the close relationship between Phantom and Universal, right?"
If possible, Lai Wei would definitely like to wipe away her sweat, and she was also very grateful to Xiao Ran for not continuing to struggle with this issue. Then she opened her mouth and smiled and said: "Everyone wants to know what the purpose of the Phantom is.
He just acquired Universal! I think Mr. Xiao will definitely not refuse to answer this question."
"If I refuse, I'm afraid your supporters will tear me apart, because they will be very angry, angry that I have the courage to refuse a beautiful lady's question!" Xiao Ran joked humorously. For such a scene, he
But I'm a seasoned veteran, so I'll definitely be able to do it with ease.
"The acquisition of Universal was because I was trying to find a breakthrough point. I have always been committed to the exchange and collision of Eastern and Western cultures. But one day my wife told me why not start with what I am best at, so I came up with this idea.
!”
"Because of regional, economic and political factors, it is difficult for us to understand each other even though we live on the same planet." At this point, Xiao Ran said excitedly as if he was emotionally moved: "Movies are works of art that can
Let Eastern and Western cultures have enough exchanges, at least I think, so that when we encounter aliens in the future and they ask us what people on the other side of the earth are like, we won’t be unable to answer!”
Xiao Ran's sudden humor made the audience laugh knowingly. Lai Wei tried hard to keep her calm and asked curiously: "Do you believe there are aliens in this world?"
Xiao Ran smiled softly. He didn't have to answer such a question. However, in order to win support, he had no choice but to answer: "If you believe in aliens, you must give up your religious beliefs. It is not always an easy choice!"
"From my own point of view, in addition to my desire to promote exchanges between the East and the West, I also love movies very much. I look forward to pushing the film industry to the top." Xiao Ran pretended to have a sacred look. He felt that he
It’s really suitable to be an actor: “Film is an art, and I love this art.”
Lai Wei laughed and continued the topic: "This is a very great ambition. I wish your efforts will be successful. Let us also learn about the mysterious East. Speaking of the East, my brother has recently become obsessed with it.
I read some oriental comics, that’s amazing!”
"Moreover, we all know that Mr. Xiao is a very famous director. The last time he directed "The Legend of Car God", he was nominated for the Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects and Best Art Award at the Oscars." Lai Wei said.
She has put a lot of effort into the matter of Phantom and Xiao Ran, which shows that her success is by no means easy to come by: "And that year, "The Ghost Story" also received nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Foreign Language Film.
, the Phantom films in recent years have always received some nomination numbers at the Oscars!"
"I myself like watching "The Legend of Ghosts" and "The Legend of Car God" very much. The performances of Mr. Xiao and his wife in the films are definitely the most perfect partners!" Lai Wei suddenly smiled mischievously.
: "And, I have always been eager to get your and your wife's signatures!"
Xiao Ran suddenly burst into laughter. The full-scale promotion of Phantom in the past few years seems to be quite successful: "I think that's no problem, but now let's talk about business!"
"I would like to know what aspects of communication you are referring to!" Lai Wei recalled the Phantom information that surprised her when she first saw it. She never expected that Shuxiang Media and others were subsidiaries of Phantom.
"Of course it's general culture. At present, I still pay attention to movies. This is the most resonant art!" Xiao Ran smiled lightly. He knew what Lai Wei was about to ask, and he also prepared the answer: "I will
The best Chinese-language films are sent to the United States, and outstanding American films will also be distributed to the East!"
Lai Wei couldn't speak immediately. She originally wanted to ask Xiao Ran whether he planned to sell Chinese movies, but now Xiao Ran gave an answer. Fortunately, her brain was flexible, and she quickly thought of the problem to embarrass Xiao Ran: "
This means that through your efforts, Chinese-language films will occupy the American market, but American films cannot occupy the Eastern market, right? Is this a bit like cultural dumping?"
Xiao Ran couldn't help but reveal a weird smile: "Hollywood releases more than 40 films overseas every year, and at least 30 of them can be released in the East. And Chinese-language films can release four or five in the United States every year, so,
I think if we talk about cultural dumping, it should be Hollywood’s dumping of the East!”
"This is an unequal relationship, so Universal will appear in front of the American people as such a communicator. Everyone will find that Chinese-language films actually have many advantages, but they didn't know it before!"
When Xiao Ran said this, he accentuated his tone and waved his hand: "And this is the mission I gave myself!"
After the show was aired, the effect was quite good, and the voices of opposition still existed. The United States is like this. You can oppose anything you do, so Xiao Ran didn't care. However, he always had a bad feeling, and we all know it.
, it’s hard to describe what it is like, but it’s like a sixth sense.
But Xiao Ran also knew that it was by no means the so-called sixth sense, but just pure experience telling him that something was not good. From his current position, he definitely did not want any more trouble, but Hollywood would soon be in chaos
Among them, he can even bet that Disney and Warner will join forces to cripple him.
If something happened at that time, it would be true... He looked at this point independently from his own position. He was used to looking at everything from a more onlooker and more hostile perspective. After thinking hard for a few days, he always
You never know what will happen if something happens.
The situation is not too bad. Warner is obviously discussing with Disney how to deal with Universal. What makes Turner and Michael, the heads of the two major companies, headache is that they can't find anything to attack in Universal. As the only star of Disney,
The most famous star CEO, Lao Lao is an old guy who is quite obsessed with power. He refused to let go of his power even when he was critically ill several times. Instead, he handed over his heirs in the way that ancient feudal monarchs handed down their wills.
.
In the luxurious villa of Lao Lao's classmate, Turner and Lao Lai had a secret meeting, a meeting that might even affect the pattern of Hollywood. Before the meeting began, Lao Lao proudly called out a person, who looked very ordinary, just with eyesight.
The shining Chinese people.
He is Tie Long, and Tie Long has been looking for a chance to make a comeback. Unfortunately, no one in Hong Kong dares to invest in him. Even if he invests in him, Xiao Ran can drive him away at any time with just one word. Investors know this.
, he is also very clear about it.
Originally, this guy was just a lighting engineer, and after working as a director and screenwriter for several years, he saved a lot of money. Unfortunately, he has been unwilling to do heavy work in the past few years, but he can't get any work in the film industry.
As a result, I decided to come to Hollywood and try to find opportunities here.
And this guy was obviously not very lucky, and he squandered all his money in a short time. Just when he was desperately planning to commit suicide or commit a crime, the news that Phantom had taken over Universal appeared, and he was stunned for a full minute.
After that, I just felt a chill.
He knew very well that the reason why he couldn't stay in Europe and Asia was because of Xiao Ran. If Xiao Ran was allowed to come to Hollywood, there would be no place for him to gain a foothold here. Just when he was despairing and regretting that he should not have offended Xiao Ran, he immediately thought of,
According to Xiao Ran's character, I'm afraid that he will soon have conflicts with the locals when he comes here.
As a result, he struggled for a few days in desperation. Sure enough, rumors soon spread in Hollywood that Warner was going to attack Universal. At this time, he saw a chance. He himself was an excellent screenwriter and director, but there was no one.
If they dare to use him, no one in Hollywood is willing to use him. As long as he climbs the big tree of Warner and wants to turn around, it can be done at any time.
In the end, he did not choose Turner because he felt that Turner was a very cunning old fox. But Disney's monarch Michael was different. This man liked the feeling of stars shining down on him and the feeling of being spotlighted. Tielong knew
, as long as you can control your own performance, you will definitely be happy.
Turner looked at the middle-aged Chinese man in front of him with disdain in his eyes. He noticed that there was a stain on the corner of the suit worn by this Chinese man, which was obviously not to his liking as he was always obsessed with germs.
Michael smiled proudly and introduced to Turner: "This is Mr. Tie Long. He knows everything about Xiao Ran and the conspiracy methods that Xiao Ran likes to use, because he has been Xiao Ran's opponent before!"
Turner remained calm, but his thoughts turned away. If there was such a person who was familiar with Xiao Ran, it would obviously be helpful to deal with Xiao Ran or Huan Huan. Tie Long was not from a good background, and his etiquette was naturally far inferior.
Yes, I just bowed humbly like an ordinary person.
Turner smiled slyly at Michael: "Michael, didn't you say last time that you weren't such a despicable person and wouldn't deal with Universal? Why did you hire such a person now!"
"No, Turner, you know that I just happened to meet him to help you, so from the perspective of a friend, I will help you without hesitation!" The old classmate was also very cunning, and quietly shied away from all charges.
Hypocrite! Turner secretly cursed. Warner and Disney, not to mention movies, have always had animosity on the TV network, and he was not shy about scolding him a few times. However, Hollywood is always like this. When facing outsiders, it always
I chose to use my gunpoint to show solidarity with the outside world.
Therefore, we have to admit that Xiao Ran carefully planned to enter the market at a time when all major companies were changing hands. This was definitely a golden opportunity. This was also the source of headaches for the two of them, because they found that they could not unite other companies to join forces.
Universal and Xiao Ran put pressure on him.
"Is this really true?" Turner smiled leisurely, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wonderful wine before saying: "According to my understanding, the Phantom Group has used films such as "The Lion King" to occupy a lot of Disney's market.
, and in terms of theme parks, hehe..."
Michael became furious when he thought of this. As the monarch of Disney, he would never allow the kingdom he led to be invaded in this way. However, he had to admit that the Phantom had poached half of Disney's unique kingdom of cartoons.
cake. Moreover, Lao Dao found that his kingdom seemed to be unable to find any good cartoons or more favorable means to safeguard its interests.
"So, I think we can start discussing!" Turner aroused the boss's emotions after hearing two or three sentences, and smiled sinisterly: "MGM has not expressed its attitude, and I don't want to provoke those gods.
The mafia, I don’t want to be randomly shot to death one day!”
"Paramount is currently involved in an acquisition case and cannot make the decision at all. However, we may choose to join forces with Barry or Redstone. I think the final winner of this duel will eventually be born between them!
Michael quickly calmed down and continued: "I think the only people who can win over are maybe Rupert Murdoch or Sony!"
"Those two idiots in Colombia are still messing around and squandering money for Sony. I think we can easily let him stand in this camp without worrying about Sony being able to take the right position in the future!" Turner gave the answer confidently,
He quickly showed a vigilant look: "Murdoch, his career has developed rapidly over the years, and Fox is still losing money. Why not give him a hard blow and let him go back to Australia!"
Tie Long listened quietly to the words of these two guys. His English was not very good. He could hear quite a bit, but he was not very good at speaking. Michael sighed dejectedly: "Turner, we have some, all over the world."
Yes, I'm afraid we strangled it according to the usual method. Why not, let's not listen to the advice Mr. Tielong gave us!"
Tie Long understood this last sentence and saw that both of them were looking at him, but he was not fluent in the language. Michael actually remembered what Tie Long said when he first met Tie Long.
English situation, so he prepared a translator for this.
Tie Long's mind turned around quickly, and then he slowly spoke in Chinese, with a hint of memory in his eyes: "Xiao Ran is a brutal dictator, and no one in Asia dares to resist his rule..."
