America's Big Hero

Waving the banner of environmental protection to forcibly open up the market and earning excess profits through technological monopoly is an important link in the future industrial layout of Sean.

Of course, the investment required for this is not a small amount, but there is Greg's example.

As long as we continue to expand the concept of environmental protection and wave this flag, Sean feels that we can still create some opportunities.

After all, there are not only American companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange...

Chapter 138

The gutter oil extraction technology that Xiao En knows is all small workshops, which must be upgraded, but the technical content is not high. Xiao En plans to find a university to cooperate with the technical research commission.

He pays, the other party pays people, and of course the technology belongs to Sean.

The partner Sean has been found, New Jersey Institute of Technology!

Being in Newark, which was his old home, it was easy to find connections.

"Refining cooking oil from food waste?" Hearing Sean's request, the vice president of the Polytechnic University, Maltz Wiek, almost popped his eyes, his face was full of horror.

Just thinking about that image made him want to throw up, "No no no, this is disgusting, I can't do it!"

"How can this be called disgusting?" Sean said with a holy light on his face, "This is a great undertaking. We need a lot of land to cultivate to produce more edible oil. For this reason, we cut down Destroyed forests, destroyed grasslands, destroyed the living homes of countless animals, and left the earth devastated."

"And among them, a large amount of edible oil was wasted!"

"If we could recycle them, how much less food would be consumed each year?"

"How can this be disgusting, this is for the people, for the whole world, for the earth!"

"Isn't this noble enough!" In the setting sun, behind Xiao En standing by the window was a holy light, like an angel coming to the world!

These words left Maltz Wik dumbfounded, damn, words...

Can you still say that?

Just when Maltz Vik was hesitating, Sean continued: "I have already thought of the name of this oil, called 'blending oil'!"

"The advertisement is, blended oil: the raw materials include vegetable oil, animal oil, vitamins, rich in minerals and essential amino acids for the human body, with extremely rich nutritional value. After more than ten years of research and careful matching, the pursuit of precise nutrient combination and precise ratio is specially designed for XX European institutional design."

"Oils are healthier to eat. Eight kinds of vegetable oils are selected, and a balanced intake of dietary fatty acids is advocated at a ratio of 1:1:1. The golden ratio blends oils, which is a good oil for balanced nutrition and science."

"Father loves sunflower oil, mother likes corn oil, son likes peanut oil, grandpa likes it, grandma likes it...how can I do this, blend oil, rich in 8 kinds of vegetable oil nutrition, advocate 1:1:1..."

"More blended oil, more nutrition, Sanlu blended oil."

"Where there is health, there is Shengyuan Blending Oil."

"Good nutrition, good quality, cradle blended oil."

"Mengniu blended oil is naturally nutritious."

"Okay, stop!" Maltz Vik held Sean's shoulder to stop him from continuing, "Okay, that's okay, we've accepted this cooperation project, it's really great."

"I knew it, you have contributed to the progress of human society." Sean said emotionally as he grabbed Maltz Vik's hand.

"Hehe, you don't have so many advertisements, I just believe it!" Maltz Vik rolled his eyes, "Damn it, I suddenly feel very worried about going out to eat!"

"No, how come, this thing must be exported to those underdeveloped countries." Sean laughed, he didn't dare to sell this thing in the United States.

He is also afraid of going out to eat this stuff...

Sean swears, whoever dares to use 'blended oil' to make food for himself, he will peel off the skin and throw it to press the oil!

After solving the problem of the production and development of the gutter... the blending oil, Sean proposed a cooperation intention for the metal recycling project.

"Extracting precious metals from waste circuit boards..." Maltz Vik said in a deep voice, "If the technology is not advanced enough, it will cause heavy metal pollution, which is very troublesome."

"You only need to consider the purification efficiency and cost, and you don't need to worry about pollution." Sean replied directly.

"No way." Maltz Vik looked at Sean in shock, "Environmental issues..."

"I will go to an underdeveloped country for refining together with the blended oil." Sean blinked his eyes, "Besides, recycling metals and reducing excavation is not environmentally friendly."

Heh, heh, Maltz Weik laughed dryly, the mouth of a capitalist, damn it, a liar.

"Technology, it all starts from scratch, and develops slowly from existence to refinement. There is an objective law of development." Maltz Wicker coughed lightly and gave a more grandiose explanation.

The two looked at each other, smiled and nodded.

The technology of waste disposal is extremely huge and cannot be accomplished overnight. Sean will establish a research institute to conduct research in this area in the future.

The road has come out little by little. Currently, Sean focuses on the two technologies of 'blend oil' and 'precious metal extraction'.

Others can only come slowly.

While Sean was busy building an industrial zone in Colombia and opening a metal refinery in India, John ran over and asked Sean to watch a movie.

Well, it's a film grown-ups watch.

The filming of "The Great Bank Robbery" has also ended.

However, the editing rights of those big companies belong to the company, and the director cannot participate. Sean's editing rights here also belong to John.

At present, the rough cut is completed, and the whole film is as long as 3 hours!

It will be trimmed to less than 2 hours later.

Not only Sean, but also the starring team watched the film. After watching it for three hours, Sean thought for a while and said: "The planning part can be edited a little faster to highlight the technical content of this robbery, especially the details." One or two things are enough, but the framework of the overall robbery plan must be there."

"After watching this movie, people have the ability to design a perfect robbery according to the framework."

After saying this, the viewing room suddenly fell into dead silence, and everyone stared blankly at Xiao En, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Ahem, don't get me wrong, I'm not teaching everyone how to rob, I'm just trying to highlight an authenticity." Sean explained dryly.

Oh, got it, you're teaching people to rob!

"Hahaha, Ba Ye's action design is very sharp, this movie must be popular all over the United States!" Xiao En coughed lightly to change the subject.

John followed this topic and praised Yuan Heping for a while.

"Okay, that's it, the issue of editing is still up to you. You shoot, and you want to know what you want to express most." Sean finally made a final decision: "Of course, there can be artistry, but commercial..."

"I understand. I used to be a director of commercials, but now I'm a director of commercial films." John said wittily.

"That's good!" Sean was very satisfied with John's answer.

"By the way, Norris, how are you doing with the release issue?" Sean looked at Norris and asked.

It is important to make a movie well, but a good distribution channel is even more important.

It's like no matter how good a product is, without a good sales channel, it won't sell much.

The distribution ability is the sales channel of the film.

At present, Sean Pictures does not have the ability to distribute and can only rely on external forces.

……

Chapter 139:

Publishing ability: To put it bluntly, it is the marketing ability of 'products'.

Not only the film industry needs distributors, but other companies such as 'TV series', 'games', 'stock listing underwriting' and so on all need good distribution capabilities.

Here is an example of a movie.

Every year, thousands of movies are shot in Hollywood, but there are a fixed number of theaters in the United States, and there are also a fixed number of screens.

In terms of time, there are morning shows, midnight shows, and prime time shows.

There are also holiday files, Christmas files... and other good times.

So how do you get more cinemas willing to show your movie?

After all, the profit of a movie theater lies in the number of people watching the movie.

This depends on the ability of the distributor. A good distributor can get better screening time and schedule, and allow more cinemas to show your movie.

Of course, if the quality of the film is not good after it is released, it is not the issue of the distributor to reduce the number of screenings in cinemas.

The opportunity is given to you, you are useless, no one else is to blame.

Therefore, the publisher needs to collect money, and it is divided according to the box office ratio.

The distributor needs to look at the subject matter and quality of the producer's film, the popularity of the producer, the director's popularity, the leading actor's popularity, the degree of market fit, and many other considerations to give a share ratio.

The more powerful the producer, the lower the share they want, and vice versa.

The so-called 55% account is a concept, and only the producer can get 5%, which is actually wrong.

The theater may only charge 1%, but the distributor will still charge 3-[-]%...

In many cases, the photographer can only get 2% or less.

Of course, the operability is very strong here.

Cough cough, for example, after the filming is completed, the theaters will be divided, the distribution will be divided, and the last remaining will be paid to the actors and other salaries. In the end, the investors will not get a penny.

The theater chain will return all the money, and the investors will get a [-]% share...

Similarly, it can also be used to launder money.

"Of course the Bada has the best distribution ability, but their asking price is too high." Norris shrugged his shoulders, "Including advertisements, it will cost [-]%, and besides, it will be a bit troublesome to pay from them, um , at least a year."

Sean frowned. He hated dealing with these dominant companies. He was too weak. After thinking about it, Sean signaled Norris to continue.

"Except for the Big Eight, the independent film distribution companies will belong to Miramax and New Line Films. We can find one of these two."

"New Line Film Company was established in 67. It is an independent distribution company that distributes small-budget independent films, mainly horror films. Its distribution capacity is the best outside the Big Eight."

"Miramax was established in 79, but the owners, the Weinstein brothers, have been in Hollywood for many years. They have participated in the distribution of many low-budget films, and their distribution capabilities are not bad."

"Large companies charge high fees, and checkout is slow. For Miramax and New Line, the fees are low, but sometimes they hide the box office." After Norris finished speaking, he looked at Sean, and it was up to the boss to decide how to choose.

"Weinstein, is there someone named Harvey Weinstein?" Sean asked suddenly.

"Yes, there is one, a short and fat man." Norris added after thinking for a while, "Jewish old pervert, he doesn't like to shave, he likes to use his beard to stab the women who are pressed on the bed by him...cough cough .”

Ok?

Sean had a chilly look on his face, what the hell is wrong with this! ?

Played a lot so come up with new tricks?

"Forget it, I don't care if he's a pervert or a pervert, I'll just choose Miramax." Sean pointed to Norris and said, "We'll never get ahead with those big companies. Learn from Harvey, we can't find someone else to distribute forever, and my fucking money is not blown by the wind."

"Release!?" The corner of Norris's mouth twitched, which was a bit overwhelming.

"Use all your dirty tricks, Weinstein can't do all the work by himself, bribe, buy, shoot videos, eavesdrop, there are many ways you can think of." Sean pointed at Norris Cursed: "Be bolder."

"Boss, it's not that I'm timid. It's that Bada has been implementing a monopoly strategy on distribution. These two companies only survive by picking up some things that Bada despises." Norris said with a wry smile: "They won't allow someone Those who have mastered the distribution ability, once someone wants to take the lead, they will unite to put pressure on the theaters."

"Press, how to put pressure, in New Jersey, which theater dares not give me face?" Sean snorted, "Bada, shit, others are afraid of them, but I am not afraid of them!"

"Okay." Norris said that Alexander had nothing to do. He would listen to the boss's words, and he would listen to them if he didn't.

However, Norris is not confident at all. The boss is not afraid that Bada is true. Except for movies, other industries have nothing to do with Hollywood.

In this way, your own life safety is still guaranteed.

The matter was settled and Norris went to do it, but Sean considered a new problem.

The right to speak of public opinion!

Hollywood can influence the whole world. They can distort history and distort public opinion through movies, map some industries or companies through movies, and even discredit a country or a race!

Having mastered one of the fastest dissemination channels of movies, these guys really have a great say.

He who comes from the future knows the importance of the high ground of public opinion too well, and it is time for him to take some action in this regard.

Television, radio, newspapers...

A few days later, Norris reached an agreement with Miramax, and Sean Pictures retained distribution rights in the video market for itself.

Norris had his own distribution channel for videotapes when he laundered money for drug dealers.

After the distribution agreement is finalized, the issue of advertising promotion will be involved. The amount invested in advertising will directly affect the attendance rate in the first week.

The box office share of North American movies is complicated, and for production companies, the first week's box office is very important.

To this end, after several negotiations, Sean agreed to spend another $120 million on advertising.

However, Sean was not very satisfied when the money came out.
