Through the wealth life

Chapter 540 ET
The end of the competition on the supermarket side allowed the top management of Li's Group to relax their tense nerves in the past few months. As Wellcome began to close some of their stores, it was destined that Wellcome Supermarket would stay away from Xiangjiang.

On the morning of June 6, not long after Li Guangyu came to the office, Le Yiling came to his office and asked Li Guangyu about the release of Alien ET jointly invested by Jiayi Group, Universal Group and Spielberg Films. Make a report.

After listening to Le Yiling's report, Li Guangyu said to Le Yiling: "You should contact Run Run Shaw for Southeast Asian and Korean theaters, plus our Jiayi's own theaters in Xiangjiang, Baodao and Japan. It will be released simultaneously with Universal Pictures in the U.S. when it is released.”

Le Yiling herself has no idea about this movie, and wonders if the first cooperation between her group and the American film and television company will become a big failure like Golden Harvest.

Seeing that Li Guangyu attaches so much importance to the release of this movie, she has put down a lot of worries in her heart. Li Guangyu's legend makes her have blind trust in her heart. Whatever Li Guangyu attaches importance to, the Li Group will definitely get huge returns.

As long as it can achieve very good results this time, then Jiayi Group has successfully opened the door to the American film industry. Jiayi Group will cooperate with more American film companies in the future, and even establish an independent film there. Branch company, producing films by itself.

Although Xiangjiang's current film market is very prosperous, Le Yiling is very clear that Hollywood is the leader of the film industry. If Jiayi Group wants to achieve success in this area, it still needs to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood.

Otherwise, the film company of Jiayi Group will always be a regional film company and cannot become a world-class film company.

Le Yiling replied: "Li Sheng, I will do a good job in this aspect to ensure that this movie can be released simultaneously in multiple regions on No. 12. And due to the time difference, our side will be ahead of the American side. show."

Jiayi Group is not like Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest has no initiative in cooperating with American film companies.

Since Jiayi Group is backed by the Li Group, its influence in the United States is not small. Coupled with Jiayi's advantages in theaters, the Li Group has not lost any benefits.

If it weren't for the factor of European and American releases, Jiayi Group would not let Universal Pictures get involved, and the box office in Europe and the United States is far greater than that of Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, making Universal Pictures Group occupy more shares than Jiayi 5%.

Shi Nansheng, who was in charge of the cooperation negotiations at that time, asked Li Guangyu for instructions and his opinions many times.

Li Guangyu considered that Jiayi Group did not have many connections in Europe and the United States, especially in terms of theaters. If it did not cooperate with several major American film groups, it would be a big problem to release it at that time.

Moreover, Steve Spielberg also hoped that Universal Pictures would join in, and that Jiayi Group would make some concessions, and Li Guangyu could only accept this.

Li Guangyu understood Steve Spielberg's thoughts very well. Universal Pictures Group was obviously more reliable than Jiayi Group. With Universal Pictures Group's shareholding, he was not worried at all that his films would not be released in Europe and America.

As for the film market in Asia, it is still far from being comparable to the European and American markets.The major US studios are still focusing on their home country.

If Jiayi Group does not make concessions, it is estimated that Steve Spielberg will directly give up the cooperation with Jiayi Group and only choose to cooperate with Universal Pictures Group, then Li Guangyu will be in a big loss.

Li Guangyu knows that this movie is very profitable. Universal Pictures Group may earn a little less when they come in, but with them coming in, there will be no problems in the European and American markets. If it is less than Universal, it will be less. It's better than not earning at all.

Therefore, Li Guangyu ordered Shi Nansheng, who was negotiating in the United States, to agree to the distribution of shares. Universal took 40% of the shares, Jiayi 35% of the shares, and Spielberg 25% of the shares.

Since this movie requires a lot of special effects, I specially hired Magic Light to produce it, which led to a very large investment in the movie. The completion of the movie and post-production cost a total of 1500 million US dollars.

The Lee Group invested US$675 million, part of which was due to Spielberg's share in the script and talents, so Universal and Jiayi had to pay a part of the extra funds.

Li Guangyu said: "Yi Ling, please contact Zhou Liangshuyi and Liu Tianci later to let them start promoting the upcoming release of ET, and make sure that this release can achieve relatively dazzling results. Only this time the results are enough Alright, we will have enough confidence to negotiate with the film industry group in the United States in the future."

Le Yiling naturally hopes that the box office of this film will be as high as possible, which will greatly help the reputation of Jiayi Film Company.

"Li Sheng, I will contact Ms. Zhou Liang and Liu Sheng later, so that our movie can attract the attention of fans in Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia. This time, we will let the American film companies see the capabilities of our Jiayi Group .In the future cooperation, we can face up to the influence of our group in Asia." Le Yiling said.

Li Guangyu thinks that his side is temporarily in a state of contraction, and there is no plan for a large investment. In the past, Jiayi Group's theaters were first purchased by Li's Group and then leased to Jiayi Group. As a result, their expansion was completely dependent on Li's Group here.

Li Guangyu now intends to relax this restriction. Jiayi Group is a listed company. Except for the annual dividends, Li Guangyu has never used the group's funds. As a result, Jiayi Group's profit within the Li Group is not too high. The working capital in hand is higher than that of many groups.

Li Guangyu said: "Yi Ling, in the past few years, your group's funds have been mainly used to fill the satellite side. Now that the funds have been settled, you only need to pay a maintenance fee every year. And the layout of our theaters in Southeast Asia is still relatively small. No, your group can make arrangements in this area, as for whether to buy or rent, it is up to your senior management to decide, Jiayi Group’s financial resources are sufficient to support the expansion of the theater chain.”

Le Yiling was very happy to hear that. Although the theater chain is managed by her own group, the expansion of the theater chain has not always been decided by her own group.

In Japan, you need to communicate with Starlight Real Estate Group. In Baodao and Xiangjiang, you need to communicate with Starlight Real Estate Group. Now Xiangjiang has changed to Wheelock Group. Every movie theater belongs to these groups. The Art Group rented it from them again, which made their expansion quite troublesome.

As for why Li Guangyu did this, Le Yiling is also clear. Haven't you seen that the prices of the theaters that Xiangjiang bought at the beginning have doubled or tripled?Li Guangyu obviously didn't want to share the benefits with others.

As for the Xingyue Group from Japan, it is mainly to strengthen the relationship with the Fujiwara family. With them, they can also protect the interests of the Li Group in Japan.

But now that Li Guangyu has relaxed the restrictions, and renting and buying are allowed, she can carry out a large-scale expansion of the theater chain. Anyway, Li Guangyu himself doesn't care too much about the dividends from the Jiayi Group. They just use the group's funds to to expand.
