Zhang Zhonghua felt a little dizzy when he thought about the current situation in Hollywood, and his whole brain was buzzing.
Zhang Zhonghua has no intention of letting the film be made now. He is counting on the film to win an Academy Award. It would be too embarrassing if the film was shot now and it fails.
You must know that there are not only eight giants in Hollywood, but also countless independent producers. The small companies of independent producers are directly affiliated with the giants.
Of course, there are only a few such companies. These companies adopt the mode of cooperating with giants for distribution. Of course, you must be at the level of Spielberg and Lucas. The film company has no temper and has to cooperate. However, Zhang Zhonghua does not have this qualification now.
.
Of course, it is currently impossible for Zhang Zhonghua to shoot it himself. After it is produced, no matter what the movie is, it is destined to hit the streets. Even if he does not hit the streets, the money he earns will not belong to Zhang Zhonghua. Although he is a tycoon, he is completely cute in the film and television industry.
Xin obviously does not have the qualifications to negotiate terms with Hollywood giants.
Whether it is Hollywood or other industries, monopolies are everywhere. It is very easy for foreign capital to enter at will, but it is hard to say what will happen after entering.
Like the film industry and the financial field, Hollywood also pays attention to inheritance. The Jewish consortium controls the entire Hollywood and wants to grab the Jewish cake. It is a daydream.
The most profitable business is a monopoly business. Everyone knows this, so industry leaders will do their best to obtain a monopoly status.
Smart Jews compete and cooperate with each other, monopolizing almost all resources in the film industry. When foreign capital enters, they will face the joint suppression and exclusion of the eight giants.
The eight giants' attempt to monopolize the film industry originated in the 1920s. They aggressively acquired luxury theaters in major cities. These large companies soon gained a monopoly on the Chinese market.
The monopoly strategies of giants include packaging and distribution, extending the time between rounds, licensing their theaters exclusively based on geography, etc.
Monopoly hinders competition and is harmful to consumers in the long run. China's antitrust laws use some means to restrict monopoly and maintain active competition in the market.
For the Hollywood film industry, the battle between the pursuit of monopoly by large companies and the anti-monopoly by the U.S. government has gone through countless rounds in its fifty-year history, the most critical of which was the promulgation of the Paramount Act in 1948.
, directly breaking the vertical monopoly of the eight Hollywood giants on the entire film industry.
The "Paramount Act" itself is not complicated. In short, studios can no longer fully control the three major aspects of film production, distribution and exhibition, which indirectly limits vertical monopoly.
The giants have divested themselves of theaters. According to the court's requirements, film distribution is no longer packaged together, but each film is discussed individually. All theaters will be treated equally based on the quality of the film itself. In turn, all theaters must also treat all theaters equally.
Filmmakers treat everyone equally.
In accordance with the court's requirements, the giant was split into a film company and a theater chain company, and the two parties were not allowed to interfere with each other's operations.
It seems that the problem has almost been solved, but the Big Eight are still the Big Eight, your uncle is still your uncle, the movies are theirs, the theaters are still theirs, I am just playing with my left hand and my right hand.
It cost a lot of money for foreign capital to enter Hollywood, but as a result, the movie couldn't be released at all. Can these giants be sued?
Even if you file a lawsuit, it may not have any effect. In the future, you will basically be cut off from opportunities to enter Hollywood. Hollywood is still monopolized by giants.
The monopoly of Hollywood is everywhere. Just like if a movie produced by Hong Kong Golden Harvest Filmmaker Zou Daheng wants to be released in Hollywood, it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy it out. No matter how much the box office is, it will only matter a dime to you.
nothing.
If you want to negotiate with the Hollywood giants for a share of the box office, this is a good thing that you have never dreamed of. It would be great if the movie you made can be released in the ugly country. If you want a share, you will not even be allowed to release it.
As for Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures from Coca-Cola, that was also in 1989. Not to mention the acquisition of Hollywood Films, even the Rockefeller Building was not acquired by a Japanese consortium.
After the Plaza Accord in 1985, Japan almost packed up all the ugly countries, which was exactly in line with the Jewish purpose of plundering wealth from Japan.
Zhang Zhonghua has watched countless movies in his previous life. Although he cannot copy them exactly, he can still write about them closely.
With such a huge box office, Zhang Zhonghua is of course not willing to just take a small change, but it is unrealistic to enter Hollywood. Otherwise, how can the US imperialism spread its ugly culture and promote its ugly dream?
Zhang Zhonghua has no problem cooperating with Hollywood giants now. As a well-known and prolific writer, there is no shortage of scripts. If he cannot compete with the eight Hollywood giants now, it does not mean that he will not be qualified to compete in the future.
Zhang Zhonghua couldn't help laughing when he thought about his plan. There is no such thing as anti-monopoly in Asia. Zhang Zhonghua can establish the largest theater chain in Southeast Asia to monopolize the Southeast Asian market. As long as the Hollywood giant's movies want to be released in Southeast Asia, haha, in his own way, he can still
Treat the person's body.
As if he was thinking too far, Zhang Zhonghua returned to the issue of "Redemption". How to make this movie, the stars he knew were not even born yet.
If there is a heroine, I would just choose Audrey Hepburn. Unfortunately, the movies are all filled with big men. The female characters are not much better than the supporting roles. However, Bruce Lee can be given a fighting role.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Zhonghua met with Marco Kellerman, the marketing manager of Columbia Pictures, in his office. After one glance, Zhang Zhonghua knew that this man was Jewish, and his appearance was very obvious.
Marco Kellerman is also looking at Zhang Zhonghua. He is much younger in real life than on TV and in newspapers, but your software company is also a show off.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, we at Columbia Pictures would like to adapt your "Redemption" into a movie. What are your requirements?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Marco Kellerman did not waste any nonsense and got straight to the point.
"Thank you to Columbia Pictures for their recognition of "Redemption", but it is too early to talk about this now. After all, it has only been released not long ago, and Europe has only started to translate it into other languages. It will take some time before it is released."
"Of course I know this. We are here on behalf of Columbia Pictures and want to reach a cooperation agreement with Mr. Zhang Zhonghua first. Even if we shoot, it will take more than a year at the earliest. After all, location selection is a big trouble."
Kellerman explained to Zhang Zhonghua.
"Well, there is no problem in reaching the intention of cooperation. I will also write a script for you to choose and modify. We will discuss the cooperation conditions after we find the venue."
Marco Kellerman felt panicked when he heard Zhang Zhonghua's pretentious words. What the hell is this?
What film companies are most afraid of is an author like Zhang Zhonghua who is not short of money, and a director like Spielberg who is awesome but not from the company.
Kellerman suppressed the discomfort in his heart. As long as the cooperation intention is reached, his task will be completed. And you answered too readily, didn't you want to negotiate the price?
After sending Marco Kellerman away, Zhang Zhonghua took the plane back to New York again.
Zhang Zhonghua thought that Europe, which was the main development direction of the Jade Emperor Group, was affected by the unrest in Gaul and was worse than expected.
The one most affected must be the CFC catering company. The enthusiasm of European people to join in the fun is no less than that of a hot summer lady.
However, the 800 restaurants in the UK are not greatly affected. West Germany provides white-feather chicken and also gives priority to the British market;
Of course, there is also a lot of good news in Europe. CFC restaurant stores in some European countries have also been renovated, but they are not open for the time being.
West Germany has purchased more than 900 stores, and 500 have been renovated;
There are 90 purchased and decorated stores in Ireland, and the layout in Ireland has been completed;
The Netherlands purchased and renovated 250 stores to complete the layout of the Netherlands;
Purchased and renovated 120 stores in Belgium to complete the layout of Belgium;
Purchased and renovated 15 stores in Luxembourg, completing the layout of Luxembourg;
Purchased and renovated 160 stores in Switzerland, completing the layout in Switzerland;
Purchase and decorate 200 stores in Austria to complete the layout in Austria;
Italy has purchased more than 600 stores, and 200 of them have been renovated, completing the Italian layout.
CFC Restaurant has added more than 2,300 new stores in Western and Southern Europe, completing most of the European strategic plan. Moreover, European cities are basically finalized and there will be no new cities. The size of the city will not change too much, so there is no need to worry about passenger flow.
As for the Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden are relatively easy to get to. The Nordic countries are vast and sparsely populated. CFC Restaurant also plans to open 400 stores in the four Nordic countries, which is already a super-saturated configuration.
The only remaining countries in Europe are Gaul, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, but the development will be completed soon.
There are other stores in London and the UK that have started operating, and all the profits generated have been invested in opening branches in Europe. Not a penny is left. Even the profits from CFC restaurants in Japan have been transferred to Europe for the most part, just to speed up the operation.
process.
CFC Restaurant renovated more than 1,600 stores in half a year. It is simply a god-like speed in Europe and the United States, completely crushing the work of selling knives and selling knives.
Nowadays, knife-selling companies are struggling in Canada, the largest country in the world. They do not have a strong decoration team, which consumes a lot of CFC's time.
The large number of decoration workers recruited by the Yuhuang Group from Hong Kong Island and other East Asian regions have provided a strong boost to the CFC catering company. Of course, in addition to employees from Southeast Asia, the Yuhuang Group has also recruited many employees in West Germany.
As for the recruitment of store employees, it has also been postponed and handed over to a dedicated person. Now the main task of CFC Restaurant is to purchase and decorate the store, and strive to complete the layout as soon as possible.
Only in Europe can we dare to do this. European cities have basically been shaped for a long time. There will not be any big changes in these countries. If Zhang Zhonghua was killed in the hot summer, he would not dare to do this. After all, the city in the whole hot summer is currently small, and there will be no big changes.
Before Zhang Zhonghua was reborn, urbanization was expanding rapidly in the hot summer. If the municipal planning moved the city center, not only would those stores plummet, they would also be greatly affected.
The delay in opening in Europe is inevitable. Small European countries are unable to be self-sufficient in agricultural and sideline products, catering companies cannot purchase so many raw materials, and the supply chain system cannot keep up with the speed of development.
Yuhuang Animal Husbandry Company and Thailand’s Chia Tai Group are important buyers of white-feathered chickens. However, Chia Tai Group is also constantly expanding its breeding scale, adjusting its supply strategy, and gradually tilting its supply to Yuhuang Group.
At the same time, the Yuhuang Group's own animal husbandry company's two farms in Tianshuiwei are still developing well. The farms totaling 7,000 acres are also developing rapidly. After more than half a year of hatching, the number of white-feathered chickens has reached an astonishing 50 million.
.
The designed saturation value of the two farms is 80 million, which can barely meet most of the demand in the Japanese market. Of course, the supply from CP Group is indispensable. The expansion speed of CFC far exceeds the expansion speed of the farms.
The development of Jade Emperor Animal Husbandry Company's farms in West Germany is very gratifying. Now the number of white-feathered chickens has reached an astonishing 15 million. Of course, the main purpose now is to hatch chickens.
It is expected that the stock of white-feathered chickens will reach about 100 million within a year, which will basically be able to meet the demand of the European market.
CFC Catering Company is expected to complete its European layout in early 1971, and the number of CFC restaurants in Europe is expected to reach about 5,000. By that time, even if you are a knife-seller and willing to hunt chickens, you will have a lot of difficulties in entering the European market.
It's all too late, it's too late.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Zhonghua predicts that by 1971, the number of restaurants in Japan should be around 1,500, and the number in Southeast Asia should also reach around 1,000. CFC restaurants around the world will
There are nearly 8,000 directly operated branches.
By 1971, the number of competitors selling knife and knife services was estimated to have only 3,000 branches at most, many of which were franchise stores. As for other competitors, it was basically impossible to exist.
I remember that since the first CFC restaurant opened, it has about 2,200 operating stores, and it will reach 8,000 branches or more before it comes. I am afraid that in this era, no company in the world can open stores at such a speed.
Comparable.
Zhang Zhonghua still feels very good about himself. If it were not affected by some factors, the current development of CFC restaurant would be better.
However, the real headquarters of burgers is in Chou Country. Zhang Zhonghua was reborn. The number of KFC and KFC stores in Chou Country has reached a total of 3 stores. The number of KFC stores in Chou Country alone has exceeded 3 stores.
As expected, those who win the Ugly Country will win the world. Zhang Zhonghua’s requirements are not high. In the Ugly Country, there are only two hamburger sellers: Knife Lao and CFC. As for KFC, Burger King and the like, you can just go somewhere cool and chill. There is no such thing.
Necessity exists.
As for why the knife sellers are retained? Of course it is for anti-antitrust reasons.
At this time, Zhang Zhonghua thought of the nerve-wracking buildings in Chou Country and the speed of decoration, and wondered if he needed to let CFC Catering Company select stores for decoration in Chou Country in advance.
Just like the current situation in Europe, the stores will be renovated first and then opened together. At that time, hundreds of restaurants across the United States will open together.
Zhang Zhonghua estimates that the grand scene will frighten the legs of those ugly hamburger companies, and the stock price of knife sellers will probably fall a lot.
Can't you afford to do short selling in the stock market?
