Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Xiao Yunhai hung up the phone, looked at the stunned three people in front of him, and said with a smile: "Ange troubles me, of course I can't make him feel better, it's normal, don't be surprised."

Bi Kewen shook his head and said, "But you're killing An Ge. Mr. Xiao, you're just pulling the trigger."

Paramount releases hundreds of movies every year. Although more than half of them will lose money, their profits are still staggeringly high.If the North American theaters work together to reduce their profit share, it will not be a matter of one billion or eight billion, but billions or tens of billions, which is enough to kill Paramount.

Xiao Yunhai said with a playful face: "Then do you think I can succeed?"

Bi Kewen thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know. I'm just a director who makes movies, and I really don't understand things about you big shots."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Now sitting with Leander is the controller of the three theaters. I'm sure that Leander will call me back in less than 2 minutes.

Sure enough, within 2 minutes, Xiao Yunhai's cell phone rang.

"Mr. Xiao, everyone also thinks that Paramount's position as a giant is not worthy of its name. An entertainment company that does not control the theater chain is not qualified to be side by side with us. Warner, Disney, and United Artists have all agreed, and MGM will hand over Here you go. As for the other three companies, we will go back to lobby and I believe no one will object. However, there is an important issue that is Huaxia’s Yanhuang Cinema. It will open soon, and the screen will cost [-] yuan. If they If we don't let go, our plan is useless."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "I facilitated the matter of Yanhuang Cinema, and several of its shareholders are my very good friends. I believe there is nothing wrong with it."

Leander said in surprise: "Mr. Xiao is really amazing. Alright, let's split up."

After talking with Leander, Xiao Yunhai directly called Kerry from MGM.

"Hi, Xiao, I have some good news for you. In half a month, the post-production of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" will be completed."

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" took four months to film, and it was completed in August.Kerry once invited him to the wrap-up banquet, but Xiao Yunhai refused.

During this period of time, the book sales were also very good.After being taught a lesson by Xiao Yunhai, the four major publishing houses never dared to play tricks again.

So far, the sales of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" have reached more than 8000 million copies. I believe that after the film is released, the sales will continue to increase.

Xiao Yunhai said: "That's really great. Kerry, I'm calling you this time to tell you something very important to Hollywood. I hope you can discuss it with your father."

After Xiao Yunhai talked about the fact that the eight theaters jointly strangled Paramount, he said: "Now that Warner, Disney, and United Artists have agreed, if you agree, then the other three will not let go of such a good opportunity." Hehe, the film market is so big, how can a company without the control of theaters allow it to appear among the film industry giants."

Kerry on the opposite side gasped, as if he was digesting the news Xiao Yunhai brought, and after a while, he said, "Xiao, you are really terrible. It is their greatest misfortune that Paramount provoked you." .”

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "I'm just a liaison officer. If you agree, you can notify Liandel directly. Alright, don't bother me, goodbye."

Xiao Yunhai put the phone in his pocket, shrugged his shoulders to the three people who were already shocked beyond measure, and said with a smile: "Some things seem difficult, but they are quite easy to do."

Dominia smiled wryly and said, "As an actor of Paramount, seeing a person deal with his own company in front of his own face. To be honest, this feeling is very uncomfortable. However, I still admire you very much in my heart."

Bi Kewen said: "Paramount is a giant in our eyes, but it is only a matter of a few phone calls in front of you. Mr. Xiao, you make me feel terrible."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I'm not someone who is just looking for trouble. If you want to blame, you can only blame An Ge, he shouldn't mess with me."

Xiao Yunhai and the others got on the plane to New Zealand that afternoon, and they flew for a full twenty hours before arriving at the set.

Everyone was very happy to see investors, directors and actors coming together.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yunhai spent huge sums of money to hold a big party, and invited everyone to have a good night.

What they didn't know in the carnival was that a magnitude [-] earthquake had already occurred in Hollywood at this time.

paramount headquarters

All the employees worked honestly at their posts, no one was as lazy as usual, and no one dared to show a smile.

Because everyone knows that the boss's temper has been very bad these two days, and three unlucky employees have already been fired.

In the spacious and bright conference room, An Ge sat on the boss chair with a gloomy face, glanced at the group of people in charge below, and said, "Speak, what should we do now?"

More than a dozen poor department heads didn't even dare to breathe. They all lowered their heads and couldn't speak a word.

Yesterday, Paramount's two films were subject to a joint statement from United Artists and Disney, requiring their profit ratio to drop to 30.00%.That is to say, if the box office sells one billion, they can only get [-] million.If those hateful various taxes are taken out, their profit will not reach [-] million US dollars.

Anger was very angry and called the other party himself, hoping that they could take back this extremely unreasonable decision.But although these two former good friends of his said very politely, they just refused to agree, which made Ange furious and had a big fight with each other.

I had no choice but to look for other theaters. I never expected the result to be the same as United Artists and Disney, all 30.00%.

Anger suddenly understood that they were jointly strangling himself and Paramount.

For the first time, Anger felt strong remorse in his heart. He shouldn't have given up the Paramount Theater to Leander just because of the 5.00% profit.At the same time, he also understood that without the control of the theater chain, the company would lose its bargaining chip with other entertainment companies.

After three consecutive days of public relations, I met all the people I needed to meet, and I thought about all the ways I needed to think about, but the result was very disappointing.

Affected by this, the market value of Paramount Pictures plummeted by 20.00%, and more than US$100 billion was completely evaporated in the capital market.If this continues, Paramount will really come down from the position of the film industry giant.

Therefore, Ange is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot now, but there is nothing he can do.

Ange pointed at everyone's noses and cursed: "They're all a bunch of idiots. When there's nothing to do, they're all amazing. When something happens, they're all dumb. Get out, get out of here."

Everyone felt as if they were being pardoned, and hurriedly left in desperation.

"Thomas, you bastard." Thinking of the instigator, Angor even wanted to kill him.

Chapter 907 Dealing with Ange ([-])

In a five-star hotel in Los Angeles, Leander sat with the other seven theater chains in power, chatting and laughing.

Leander said: "Unfortunately, Ange is one of the shareholders of our Thunder Cinema, we can't suppress it, I'm really sorry."

Michael smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as we work together this time, Paramount will surely be doomed. I heard that Ange is almost driven crazy by us now, haha. I'm afraid this money-greedy guy never thought he would have today." "

Michael and Angle were at odds, and that was an open thing in Hollywood.

Anger begged many directors of the theater, but he didn't call Michael. This shows how bad the relationship between the two is.

Stephen from United Artists took a sip of red wine and said, "I heard that Ange is going to Huaxia, and I guess he is seeking help from Yanhuang Cinemas. Hey, I have to say that the Chinese government's support for the film and television industry is really great. It is really disappointing that countries around the world can agree to each other's construction of theaters. We applied to the US government countless times, but did not get the right to build even a single theater."

"Some time ago, we collectively signed an application. I think the government has loosened up a bit now. Yanhuang Cinemas has tens of thousands of screens, which are almost on par with us. If the government does not agree, we will not have any advantages in China." Michael He said worriedly: "However, these are not the issues we should consider now. Leander, if the board of directors of Yanhuang Cinemas agrees to Paramount's request, then what we have done will be useless. I just want to ask, Can Mr. Xiao really influence Yanhuang Cinemas?"

Leander frowned, and said: "Mr. Xiao and I just met once, and I don't know much about his energy in China."

Kerry's father Smith said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone. Since Mr. Xiao said it, there will be no problem. My son and him are very good friends. He said that Mr. Xiao has great influence in China. Amazing. New China Cinemas was established by him and the controllers of two giant companies, and his two partners are also shareholders of Yanhuang Cinemas, holding 20.00% of the shares. Therefore, I think it should no problem."

Leander raised his glass and said vigorously: "Then let's raise our glasses to wish Paramount the complete end."

"Hahaha."

The eight cups came together and seemed to make a declaration of victory.

It took only three days for Ange to leave for Huaxia, and he came back with a dark face. Obviously he failed to achieve his goal, but he figured out one thing, that is, Xiao Yunhai was responsible for the joint strangling of Paramount Pictures by the theaters.

Moreover, he also learned through some secret networks that Xiao Yunhai turned out to be the nephew of the No. [-] head of the Huaxia government, and his grandfather even served as the No. [-] head.

When he heard this, Ange couldn't believe his ears.

At the same time, he also immediately realized that when his company had problems, it was when Xiao Yunhai and Bi Kewen went to find Dominia.
