You don't understand the happiness of the director

Although both Lao Wang and Jiahe are actively building cinemas, Wang Quan still feels that it is too slow and there is still nearly ten times the gap before cinemas are saturated. In such an environment, large-scale productions will definitely lose money if they do not have foreign markets.

I happened to meet the big boss of Hengdian today, and Wang Quan naturally thought of persuading him to plan for the cinema market in advance. After all, Hengdian Cinema will be one of the top ten cinema chains in the country in the future and will play an important role in developing third- and fourth-tier cities.

The sooner domestic theaters develop, the sooner he can come back. He is not afraid of another competitor between Dawang and Jiahe. There are dozens of theater chains across the country, and they are all competing, so there will be no competition.

Of course, the number of theaters and the number of good movies are also complementary to each other. This requires Wangdao to work hard with his domestic counterparts and Hollywood colleagues at this time. The cultivation of audience viewing habits does not happen overnight.

Cheng Long on the side also listened. Later, he cooperated with Yaolai Group and single-handedly built the country's leading cinema, Wukesong Yaolai Chenglong International Cinema with a box office of 100 million a year.

But it won’t be there now. That place has been occupied by Lao Wang in advance. You can consider changing the name. Maybe it won’t be closed down in 21 years.

In the evening, Mr. Xu directly arranged a room for Wang Quan at the hotel where he stayed in "The King of Kung Fu". The hotel also belonged to his family, and he hosted a banquet for Wang Quan and several of the main creators. He listened to Long Jiequan and the three of them telling a lot of interesting stories about Hollywood, and then Brother Jie He also promoted his One Foundation concept and called on everyone to devote themselves to charity, with each person donating only one yuan per month.

After that, Xu Yongan began to conduct research on movie theaters and theater chains, and found that the third and fourth tier cities were almost a blue ocean, the market was almost blank, and there was absolutely a lot of potential!

On this night, Wang Quan stayed in Li Bingbing's room until very late.

She was so clingy that she held Wang Quan back and refused to let him go.

Oh, and Liu Yifei.

In the past, landlord fights were often staged in this room, but it was just the two sisters Liu Yifei and Li Bingbing. Recently, Li Chong returned to the capital, and Wang Quan just filled in.

He played very energetically, and the winner of each round could put lipstick on the loser's face.

This time, the local owner Wang Quan won, completed the little turtle on Liu Yifei's face, and developed a new map on Li Bingbing's face. As for his own face, it was already covered with grids.

However, Liu Yifei was more depressed. After a day of fighting, she was already tired from hanging on the wire for half of the time. She also wanted to ask professional Wang Quan to give her a massage, but now she is afraid that she has no time.

Li Bingbing suddenly rubbed his neck, and Wang Quan asked, "What's wrong, Sister Bingbing?"

Li Bingbing said, "Oh, there was too much fighting today, and I twisted my neck. My white-haired attack skills always have to shake my neck, and my waist is not very comfortable."

Wang Quan, "Then lie down and let me press it for you~"

"Ah, thank you very much. I usually go to blind people for massage. There is a good one in Hengdian."

"Hey, Director Wang, you are very professional."

Liu Yifei: Ah, yes, yes, professional!

"It's not bad, I've been studying for it," he glanced at Liu Yifei who was doing nothing, "Sissi, why don't you just watch TV and watch it yourself."

She said "Oh", she couldn't leave anyway, otherwise who knows if Sister Bingbing would lift up her clothes and let Wang Quan ride on her and press her.

Moreover, the sound of the TV series can also cover up Sister Bingbing's moans, saving her from being misunderstood by outsiders.

"What kind of TV series is this? Is it Tong Dawei?" Li Bingbing, who was lying on the sofa, tilted his head and asked.

Liu Yifei, "Well, it's him. It's called "Struggle"."

She found it on a local stage. It seemed to be a new drama.

Wang Quan glanced at the TV, oh, the fourth little actress is here.

Li Bingbing was now extremely comfortable, and she hummed unscrupulously. The sound of the TV complemented her humming.

At 11 o'clock, Li Bingbing was clear, and Wang Quan and Liu Yifei stood up to leave.

Wang Quan said, "Let me press it for you too."

Liu Yifei looked around to make sure no one was seen in the hotel corridor, then opened the door and pulled Wang Quan in.

The next day, Wang Quan woke up in his room, and Liu Yifei was still worried about Gadot's existence. No matter how shameless he was, she didn't let him stay in her boudoir.

But it's not all without gain. Massage is an ambiguous behavior. If the bottom line is moved down a little, the royal power will take over.

Sooner or later, it will be meat in his bowl, and Wang Quan is not in a hurry to eat it in one bite. If he licks it today and bites it tomorrow, it will end up in his stomach sooner or later.

Hearing that Aunt Liu was coming today, Wang Quan hurried away. She was here to visit and take care of Sissy, and she was also invited to play a guest role.

Liu Yifei didn't send Wang Quan away when he left, but she could see the bad guy walking out of the hotel from the window, and he looked back, looking in the direction of his room.

"Hmph, I won't let you get a massage next time!" Liu Yifei rubbed her buttocks depressedly.

Afterwards, Wang Quan and Xiao Wei drove to Shanghai, preparing to fly to Los Angeles.

While waiting for the flight, I received a call from Hideo Umekawa of Neon.

In the short film section of Cannes, his "Going to Jinling" was a failure and failed to win the award. The award was won by another Asian work selected by Wang Quan, "Grandma" created by Li Jiapo Chinese director Chen Zheyi.

This young director, who is only one year older than me, is indeed outstanding. With all the classmates who are trying to challenge the kingship, it is no wonder that he will win the Golden Horse Best Film in the future.

However, being shortlisted is also an incentive for Meichuan. After returning to Neon, he began to work on the crew of "Love in the Sky". The class leader was right, being in the crew can make people grow up quickly. Several classmates in the class signed with Wang Dao after graduation. , joined the crew of "Lost Orphans", and he can't fall behind.

The squad leader asked him to buy more than ten neon copyrights. One of them must be for himself.

Umekawa Hideo called Wang Quan firstly to report that he was safe, and secondly, "Someone wants to say a few words to you~"

Then Wang Quan heard Yui Aragaki's voice, and it was in Chinese, a bit lame but very hard-working Chinese.

The filming of "Koisora" is almost finished and will be released this year. The day when Yui-chan takes off is not far away.

It has been more than three months since he left Los Angeles. In the past three months, Long Toutou has changed a lot. According to Dorothy, he rented another half floor upstairs and the number of employees in the company has increased, including a senior executive.

In addition, I bought about a dozen low-budget independent films to try out the DVD sales route.

"The Man from Earth", which had not been released in theaters before, made Dorothy money, so she is quite optimistic about this non-theatrical profit model.

Of course, the biggest change was the company's financing. He and Dorothy reduced their shares in equal proportions and received $100 million from Greenberg Bank at the cost of giving up 5% of their shares.

This means that the Greenberg family’s valuation of Long Toutou is US$2 billion!

What is this concept? When Sony bought MGM in 2005, it only spent 5 billion. In the future, Disney will only buy Marvel for 4 billion.

So this is definitely an overestimation, but Wang Quan doesn’t think it’s because Old Greenberg is looking out for his granddaughter’s face and disregarding business principles to increase Long Toutou’s worth. Instead, he thinks that the old man has a unique vision and has identified this company for sure in the future. More than 2 billion, especially with this 100 million sword, will accelerate the outbreak of the dragon's head.

And Wang Quan is also happy to see this happen. When Dorothy asked him for his opinion, he directly expressed his approval. This has too many benefits.

The first is to further reduce the presence of him, a Chinese, in Longtou. Now more than half of the company is controlled by Jews, and the Big Six are much gentler to them.

Secondly, having a financial background in a bank can also provide a lot of help for the company to go public in the future. Longtou must be listed. Once listed, excellent company performance can be transformed into the company's market value exponentially. By then, not only will the box office make money, but the stock price will also make more money. , and can also use investors’ money to do their own things.

Finally, the importance of the US$100 million is: Is the company profitable? It is very profitable. Is the company short of money? It is very short of money.

Not to mention the budgets of nearly 100 million dollars for the next "Twilight Saga" 2 and 3.

In addition, the company also has many film projects in progress or in development, such as "The Hangover", "Shark Tank", "Escape Room 2", "The King" and "Insidious 2".

This is not counting several TV series.

Of course, now Long Toutou is no longer Little Karami. It is considered one of the small forced film studios with the same reputation as Lionsgate. The film production costs can be obtained through copyright pre-sale.

But Dorothy aims at the global market. Since opening a branch in Tokyo, Golden Harvest has been able to radiate to Southeast Asia. Seeing the hope of global expansion, she has set her sights on Brazil, the United Kingdom and Australia, which are important places in Hollywood movies. Ticket warehouse.

Her idea is to capture the big ones and let go the small ones. First, win a few big markets, and then hand over the copyrights of other small markets to the big six at low prices. To develop the market, real money is needed to fill it.

Therefore, this 100 million is so important that she even feels that it is not enough. She hopes that the market performance of "Twilight" will be good enough, and then she can consider listing it.

Money is important, but so are people.

In addition, he and Dorothy each took out a small part of the shares and sold them to Suter Green and Marling at a normal valuation, as well as Ted Salando, the director in charge of the TV series business who had just been poached from Netflix, so that The three of them became shareholders of the company. Of course, if they resigned, their shares would have to be sold to the company at the current price.

With shares in the company and becoming the protagonist of the company, Sutergreen became more active in developing distribution channels for Dorothy. Ted Salando was also determined to make "Breaking Bad" into a high-quality product to prove his worth.

Ma Ling hopes to share the production work for Dorothy while also making excellent movies for the company. The success of "This Man from Earth" gave her a lot of confidence.

After a series of financing and equity incentives, Longtou’s shares accounted for 50.5% of Dorothy, 41.5% of Wang Quan, 5% of Greenberg Bank, and the other three executives divided the remaining 3%~

This incident was originally a good thing, but when Wang Quan flew to Los Angeles, the news also spread back to China from the United States, and something interesting happened.

On the Tianya Forum, an American student named "Hedgehog Cat Trumpet" published an article, denounced the Jewish consortium represented by Dorothy for trying to burn bridges, expel Director Wang, and steal the fruits of victory!

The title is very sensational. It mainly tells the story of the Greenberg consortium spending 100 million to invest in Longtou.

"On the surface, it looks like I invested 100 million and only got 5% of the shares, which is far more than the value of Long Toutou itself. But friends, you think foreigners are so kind. Then I investigated and guess what I found!

"It turns out that Director Wang's partner, the mixed-race child named Dorothy, is basically the granddaughter of the Greenberg family. This Greenberg consortium is their family. It's self-evident what this means.

"Originally, Director Wang was supposed to hold half of the company's shares. Now, the family behind the other partner has taken shares, and the balance has suddenly tilted. This is the rhythm to snatch away the fruits of Director Wang's victory. From now on, this company will not be Director Wang." It’s final!”

Luo Xue Piao Yao: This foreigner is indeed very ambitious. The reason why Long Titou is today is basically due to Director Wang. Regardless of whether his surname is Tao or Greenberg, he got half of the shares for nothing just by sitting in the office. What's her nationality? Now she's trying to burn bridges. It's too much!

Mr. Zhi Sanshao: That’s right, after reading the poster’s post, I feel aggrieved for Director Wang.

I want to be just right: I have seen the photos of Boss Tao, and they are quite nice. For the current plan, only Director Wang can capture Boss Tao and become the son-in-law of the Greenberg family, and then take the opportunity to devour Boss Tao and control Greenberg. A glimmer of hope.

Xiaobai, who speaks freely: Upstairs, I think Boss Tao is very beautiful. I am a woman, but when I see her, my legs feel weak and I feel embarrassed.

Hou Bangbang: I suggest that everyone go to the cinema to support "Twilight" and let Americans see Director Wang's appeal in China. She, Boss Tao, has a backer, and Director Wang also has us!

Three or two meals a day: Yes, seconded!

Rampant Lion: Seconded +1!

Star Dance Walk: Support the Twilight Saga!

Wind Sword and Frost Sword 1: Have you ever thought that Director Wang was in such a hurry to return to Los Angeles and didn't even wait for the production of "The Lost Orphan" he wrote to start filming? Is it just to win back the dragon's head?

Are you angry?: When someone said this, it seems very possible. If Director Wang doesn't go back, the company will be disbanded.

The elite in the world of being kicked: If the gang is broken up, the gang will be broken up. With Director Wang’s talent, he will never be short of a bowl of food. I suggest you fight to the end with Greenberg!

Ansj: What, let me tell you, are you thinking too much? Sooner or later, this dragon will have to raise funds and go public. When the shares are reduced, the control power will definitely become smaller. This is inevitable, I don’t know. What are you so worried about?

Black and white are also colors: look, there's a traitor here!

Ansj: If the ID is in English, does that mean he is a traitor?

Lord Flag-Planting Demon God: I suspect that he may be an American and a spy!

Use Rejoice Holy Monk: Palace Yuye Wine, what is the next sentence, answer immediately!

I’m lost and I don’t know how to return. Read: I can’t even understand what I’m talking about~

For a moment, the post was filled with happy air.

And when Wang Quan landed at Los Angeles International Airport and turned on his cell phone, the first call he made was from Yang Mi.

"Brother, why did you just answer the phone? You have been back in Los Angeles for so long. How is the company doing? Are there many employees you don't know?"

She thought Wang Quan had arrived yesterday, but Wang Quan was confused, "What the hell?"

Yang Mi, "Someone on the Internet broke the news that Boss Tao is going to kick you out of the company! I always thought she was a good person..."
