America's Big Hero

Miramax promised to get the summer file, but the summer file has "Back to the Future", "First Blood 2", "The Goonies", "Witness", "007 Deadly Thunder", "The Breakfast Club", "Mad Max" '...

Looking at the names of these movies, Sean felt that his "Bank Robbery" was going to be cool.

No matter whether it is the director, actor, producer, distributor, including advertising costs, they have completely crushed their own "The Bank Heist". How the hell can it get a good box office! ?

There is no miracle, Sean himself does not believe that he can break through the encirclement.

Moreover, even if word-of-mouth is really popular, I will not get any money when it is screened in the next few weeks.

The box office split is 1:9 in the first week, 5:5 in the fourth week, and lower after that.

Therefore, it is necessary to come up with some extraordinary means.

For example... to reflect reality before the movie is released?

……

Chapter 140:

After thinking about it, Sean felt that his plan was quite creative.

Of course, Sean would not do this unless it was absolutely necessary, so he was prepared.

After all, he's not a bad guy either.

He won't do anything unless he is forced to.

At noon, Lamb rushed over from New York, and Sean was going to take stock of the funds on hand.

"What?" Sean looked at Lamb incredulously, "Just over 2000 million in cash? How could it be so little?"

Lamb took a sip of coffee and almost spit it out, but he swallowed it down and coughed.

What is more than 2000 million cash so little?

"No, I cut more than 6000 million before and after the stock market, why is it gone?" Sean's face was ugly, he also wanted to buy a TV station, so there is no money left.

"Boss, you bought the shares of Greg Chemical Factory, and you spent more than 4000 million." Lamb rubbed his brows and said.

Sean blinked like...yeah.

"Damn it, the investment is too big, and I don't know when it will take effect!" Sean said cursingly: "Why don't you give me dozens of times the money, I will definitely skin Greg!"

"I want to set up a media company and acquire a TV station." Sean explained his plan to call Lamb over.

Lamb frowned tightly, looking at Sean helplessly.

"Say what you think." Sean gestured.

"Boss, according to my experience, you are now involved in too many industries, and they are very messy." Lamb organized his language and said: "Fitness, transportation, building materials, security, daily chemicals, environmental protection, movies, seven There are too many categories, and the industry span is too large. When resources cannot be integrated, the potential of various industries has not been developed.”

"Now you are going to get involved in the media industry, this..." Lamb spread his hands, "You must have a specific plan. In this, the subsequent development of any industry requires a lot of investment in capital, personnel, and technology."

"Although diversification is a better way to resist risks, it is not a good choice to expand indefinitely. Sir, you should think carefully."

When Lamb said this, Sean also frowned a little. He was a fake wine maker in his previous life, and his business experience was not as much as in this life. It is not an exaggeration to say that he crossed the river by feeling the stones.

combine?

It's hard!

"Choose, sir, you always have to make a choice, which industry should you focus on developing?"

"I want them all!" Sean thought for a long time, then raised his head and said.

"It will take some time for the fitness club to settle down after this expansion, and it will definitely continue to expand in the future. The next strategy targets are New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington." Sean said, pointing his fingers.

"Transportation and building materials are closely related to the same category. It will not continue to expand after taking root in New Jersey. At most, it will extend a few tentacles to open up large transportation routes around it."

"Security companies will definitely expand. The next step is New York and abroad. This is the foundation, although it only loses money and does not make money."

Lamb nodded, and he could see this too. If Sean hadn't held such a violent organization in his hands, he would have been overturned long ago.

"Daily chemicals and environmental protection, these two are heavy asset investments, and the development is step-by-step. If you think about it, you can't get up soon." Xiao En shook his head after thinking about it. ', don't even think about it for more than half a year.

"In terms of movies, they can actually be classified into the media industry, and they don't conflict with TV channels, right?"

In this way, the health club is already a mature new system, and there is no need to intervene too much. As long as you break the local protection, you can let it go.

Transportation and building materials are New Jersey veins that will not continue to grow.

Chemical environmental protection, long-term planning, not in a hurry.

The media industry is what I need to worry about most at present.

Moreover, the media is the key to controlling the right to speak in the future.

The core of the future will be the media industry and security companies.

"I have decided that the focus of the future will be shifted to the media industry, which is imperative." Xiao En said.

"Okay then." Lamb sighed secretly, and after sorting out his mood, he said: "According to the laws of the United States, any media company cannot own TV and radio, TV and newspapers at the same time in a local market. A media company You can't have two top-rated TV stations in one city at the same time."

"This is to limit the complete occupation of the public opinion channel by a certain company. So, boss, which industry do you choose to start from?"

"Radio station, small investment, quick results."

"Newspapers, medium-sized investments, acquisitions and integrations will soon pay off in terms of coverage. However, newspapers such as the New York Daily and Washington Weekly are in a leading position and it is difficult to break through."

"The TV station has a large investment, but the effect is unknown. Things like ratings are completely unpredictable, and it all depends on the team."

"Bullshit legal regulations, let the legal regulations go to hell!" Sean pouted, "I choose to have them all, just set up a few vest companies."

Sean called Jonas over, and said as soon as they met: "Go back and set up a company and start a radio station."

"Ah!?" Jonas was taken aback for a moment, what is this all about?

I'm a mafia family, running a radio station?

"Ah what, you are black, I said brother, look at the current radio stations, nine out of ten are run by black people, don't you listen to the radio stations?"

"Listen, listen!" Jonas found a place to sit down, shaking his fingers and said with some satisfaction: "Engage in the radio station, hey, you white people can't do it, that's the world of our black people."

This can also be regarded as a racial skill, the black mouth can really speak.

He is nagging, he speaks very fast, but he can still hear you clearly, and rap comes as soon as he opens his mouth.

In terms of musical talent, dancing talent, and athletic talent, black people are indeed unique, and black music has always guided popular culture.

This, whether you think highly of black people or not, is something you have to admit.

"There are radio stations in every city in New Jersey, big and small, and there are several in Newark. They all have some status in the rap industry and have some influence in the entire black community." Speaking of this, Jonah Si suddenly got excited, "Let me tell you, Sean..."

"Okay, okay, you don't need to say so much, set up one or two radio stations, and then buy all the black radio stations in cities including Newark and Jersey City."

"If it is formed into a large-scale radio station, there may be a large-scale radio station covering the entire New Jersey. I want to monopolize it."

"No, no, no." Jonas waved his hand, "Boss, I think you really don't understand radio stations. Let me tell you, it's impossible to buy them all."

……

Chapter 141:

Jonas gave Sean a good talk about black radio stations.

Most of the hosts of the black radio stations were singers, but they didn't enter any labels, and they were only famous in the circle.

They will also release records, but they are all underground records.

Because black music contains a lot of diss elements, this has caused many singers to have enmity, and most of the radio stations in various places are stationed on local singers, and they will attack each other.

Of course, it is precisely because of these grievances and legends that another color has been cast on many underground singers, and their fame has also been enhanced.

In addition, most black radio stations are strongly regional, and people from other places will not listen to them at all.

After listening to Jonas, Sean pondered for a while and said: "Then set up a few more stations, three, four, divide them into different camps, and merge these small stations separately, so as to open up different channels for those guys. Let them use the radio to argue and diss in the upper and lower time slots, it will be no problem."

"Uh... isn't this too wasteful?" Jonas asked hesitantly.

"No." Sean shook his head and said, "You bring the company to Newark, three or four, all in the same building, upstairs and downstairs, most of the equipment is shared."

"Then, maybe there will be a fight." Jonas twitched the corner of his mouth, and he could imagine a group of people with a grudge taking the elevator together.

"Wouldn't that be better!" Sean spread his hands, "There are more legends and stories to tell. The three companies are fighting head-on, fighting each other endlessly."

"You are the boss, you can control this speed and it's OK. As long as you don't use guns or knives, you can fight with them as you like, and you can open a ring for them."

Jonas stared at the boss, and wanted to say that this idea was too hellish, but why did he find it interesting?

The two rappers dissed each other for a long time, and finally decided to go to the ring to have a showdown. I'm afraid not many people want to see it...

"Okay, I'll do it." Jonas left excitedly.

"Okay, I got it." Lamb knew what to do without Sean's instructions, "The target is the information of the public TV station or the cable TV station."

"What's the difference?" admits Sean, who rarely watches TV.

"Public TV stations are satellite signal TV stations. They are all free of charge. The coverage area depends on the number of signal base stations you have. However, because they are aimed at the general public, they have strict requirements on the content, pornography and the like. The main source of income is advertising fees." Lamb began to explain the difference.

"Cable TVs are pay TV stations, and the main source of income is user subscriptions, and advertising costs only account for a small part. After all, users don't spend money to watch advertisements."

"How to solve the wiring? Let's install it ourselves?" Sean didn't understand.

"How is it possible, which TV station can afford this kind of cost." Lamb shook his head and said: "There are special cable TV service providers, and they have cables directly connected to users. The TV station only needs to reach an agreement with the service provider and rent their lines. Can."

"The Dolan family is the New York Knicks you asked about last time. Their family is a cable TV service provider, and there are many TV stations that lease their lines."

"Oh oh oh." Sean nodded to indicate the famous watch. The service providers are China Telecom and China Unicom that provide broadband Internet access. The specific TV programs to buy are the users' choice.

"Cable TV, of course it's cable TV." All kinds of variety shows, talent shows, and TV dramas, it's not a loss if you don't set up pay TV stations.

"Well, I'll keep an eye on that," said Lamb, closing his notebook.

"Well, that's it." Sean nodded, these things don't happen overnight, they have to be done slowly.

Just a few days after it was quiet here, Sean received bad news from Norris. Harvey Weinstein privately hinted to him that he might not get a good film schedule in the summer schedule.

Unless you continue to increase advertising costs.

"Mommy Falk, let him eat my 120 million?" Sean's face suddenly became extremely ugly, 120 million, he doesn't care too much, the problem is, he feels that this fat pig is killing him!

"Advertising fees are very empty. Just put billboards in major theaters, and there is a lot of room for manipulation, so there is no way to calculate it clearly, and the Eighth University can't do it." Norris explained.

Closed industries are like this, very black.

"Damn it." Sean scolded, he couldn't think of a good solution for this matter for a while, the channel was in the hands of the other party, so he couldn't call the door and put a gun to his head.

Besides, how do you know if the other party really puts their best efforts after agreeing?

The theater chain is not controlled by the other party, and there are still eight major pressures on it. There are too many reasons.

Gritting his teeth, Sean thought for a while and said, "You try to inquire about their contact channels, and then go for a run yourself."

"It's useless, and the problem of film scheduling rate is not something that theaters can control by themselves."

"Then go too!" Sean cursed and hung up the phone.

He didn't feel relieved after hanging up the phone. After thinking about it, he called Armstrong over and told him to collect some information about the banks in New York recently.

In the future, X security will definitely enter New York.

After explaining these things, Sean took a plane and headed straight to Los Angeles.

It's been a long time since I saw Diane Lane. After spending time with this level of beauties, Sean no longer looks down on ordinary women.

"Sean." As soon as they met, Diane Lane threw herself into Sean's arms.

After a deep kiss at the airport, Xiao En and his group got in the car and left.

"Why do you suddenly want to come to Los Angeles?" Diane Lane asked while leaning against Sean's arms in the car.

"I look like you, I haven't seen you for a long time." Sean stretched out his hand and scratched Diane's nose.

Diane giggled, and she believed Sean when he told him.

She doesn't care about anything else.

When they arrived at Sean's villa in Hollywood, Sean dragged Diane directly into it.

haven't seen you for a long time.

Bill charged people to do other things.
