Rebirth of the Powerful

Chapter 572

Xia Xiaoluo was stunned for a moment, he sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't expect this film to be shot at such a fast speed, two months ago, he only got the footage made by Spielberg, this is a movie made by The initial stage, and then, two months later, he received the news that the film had finished.Hollywood deserves to be Hollywood. Movies are not just works of art, but commodities, and the production of movies is a veritable industry.

In addition, he is also thinking about whether to attend the premiere ceremony of the film. The most important consideration is that he is actually a son of an official in China, and he has to worry about the impact on his father's career. In fact, in the 90s, the sons of officials were prohibited from doing business. Preventing profit transfer is not particularly strict in China. After the 92 surname socialism discussion, the state supported the development of private enterprises, and the work focus of the party and the state shifted to economic work. At that time, many government-run companies and military-run companies In the case of companies, it is very common for officials to go to sea in person, to be both bosses and officials.But Xia Xiaoluo has to think about the long-term. This kind of phenomenon is not long-term. It will be banned in the future, and the overseas assets of officials are also a sensitive topic.

Xia Xiaoluo thought for a while, but still couldn't agree, and said, "Mr. Spielberg, thank you for your kind invitation, but, you know, I am still a student, and I still have a lot of studies to complete. I think, I really No time to attend the premiere of this film."

"Mr. Xia, my dear friend, you know, this film contains a lot of my hard work, I hope you can see my work, I hope to get your affirmation, this is the spirit of capitalism, fiduciary responsibility, you have to test The fruit of my labor, I believe that what I have produced is an excellent work, which will surprise you..." Spielberg said in a swift and authentic tone, stubborn like a child who needs to be praised.

Xia Xiaoluo was speechless, the bathroom smelled really bad, a pungent smell of urine, he mused, scratched his head, walked out of the bathroom, sat down in a corner, not far away was He Shi Yun and Tang Tiantian, who had already finished their food and were drinking fruit juice, looked at him curiously. After all, speaking on the phone in English was not very common in that era.Xia Xiaoluo smiled at the second daughter, and said to Spielberg on the phone: "Mr. Spielberg, I believe in your level and your artistic accomplishment, I believe that "Jurassic Park" must be one It is an excellent work, and it will be famous in history."

Then, Xia Xiaoluo shook her head and said, "However, I still can't go. If you really need capital to come forward, I can let Miss Hu Shuwen from the Hand of God go... What do you think?"

"Miss Hu Shuwen?" Spielberg's tone was shocked. "Are you talking about the financial beauty who was hailed by the Wall Street Journal as the most talented financial woman in financial history who successfully attacked the Bank of England?"

"Well. It's her."

"My God!" Spielberg was completely shocked. "I didn't expect that Miss Hu Shuwen is the shareholder behind the powerful culture."

"How about it? If she goes, I think the publicity effect of the film will be better?"

"This..." Spielberg hesitated.He had to admit that Xia Xiaoluo was right. Hu Shuwen was already a news figure in the financial circles in the United States. If she attended, the effect would indeed be better than that of the unknown Xia Xiaoluo.However, he knew that Xia Xiaoluo was the real boss, and he held an astonishing amount of funds, which would have a real impact on his future career.

So, he was silent for a while, and still asked unwillingly: "If you have time, I hope you can think about it."

"No problem. I will consider it. Of course, although I may not be able to attend the premiere of this movie, I will definitely watch this movie, and I will definitely cherish it." Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile.

"That's great, sir." Spielberg said happily.

Xia Xiaoluo smiled and said nothing, waiting for the other party to say goodbye.

Unexpectedly, Spielberg did not hang up the phone, he hesitated, and asked: "And... that movie that reflected the Holocaust against Jews in World War II..."

"Oh, what's the problem?" Xia Xiaoluo asked in surprise.

"Oh, the investment agreement for this movie hasn't been signed yet...I think...you know, this movie is ideal, maybe it won't be commercially successful, but business isn't the only thing in this world..."

"What? The agreement hasn't been signed yet?" Xia Xiaoluo was quite surprised.With a chill on his face, he said in his heart, what the hell is Eric doing? Before he left the United States, he had entrusted him that the few movies he had negotiated could not be delayed.

"Yes, maybe, Mr. Eric is out of financial risk considerations. After all, the recent investment of strong culture in the American film industry is very fast. Oh, Cameron has already received 4 million US dollars in investment, my God , he has started to make the model of the Titanic. I really envy him, he can realize his dream. Now, he has made his film appointment for five years, which means that in these five years, he only He will concentrate on doing what he likes. You know, honorable sir, his investment in the World War II movie is only one-tenth of that of the Titanic." Spielberg's tone was pitiful.

Xia Xiaoluo knew that in her previous life, the film "Schindler's List", which reflected the massacre of Jews in World War II, was almost dystocia, almost aborted. The reason was that many investors were not optimistic about this film. After all, the United States is In a commercial society, those Hollywood investors are even more shrewd. This kind of movie that doesn't have much entertainment, no explosions, no speeding cars, and no monsters will give people the impression that they are bound to fail. It's no wonder that Eric Will hesitate about this movie.

Xia Xiaoluo said in a light tone: "Don't worry, Mr. Spielberg, this matter is my mistake. I was negligent in the management of the strong culture, so that this phenomenon occurred. Don't worry, my contract will be finalized soon." Sign. I'll call Eric right now."

"Thank you, my respected sir." Spielberg was very moved. The current Spielberg is not the world's number one director in later generations, not a panacea for the box office, and not many people trust him.At least, in the movie "Schindler's List", not many people believed that he would be successful, but Xia Xiaoluo, a Chinese boy, believed in him, so he was not moved.

"You're welcome, I believe that "Schindler's List" will not only achieve commercial success, but also artistic success." Xia Xiaoluo said confidently.

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Frowning, he found Eric's phone number in the phone book. ,

"Mr. Eric, how are you?" Xia Xiaoluo asked in a low tone.

"Oh, my boss, my God! It's a pleasant surprise to receive your call on Sunday morning. I said why when I wake up in the morning, I feel that something good will happen today." Eric the Bearded Ke smiled authentically. In fact, the moment he heard the call, he was cursing in his heart. He didn't know which guy disturbed his good weekend morning sleep, but when he saw that it was Xia Xiaoluo's call, he immediately I lost my temper.After all, he was just an ordinary administrator of the international macro hedge fund Hand of God. When he met Xia Xiaoluo, he became the general manager of Hollywood's leading film investment company. The big rich and big stars who were previously only seen in the investment and entertainment sections of newspapers are on an equal footing.He knew that everything he had was given by Xia Xiaoluo, so he was sincerely grateful and in awe of Xia Xiaoluo.

"I'm really sorry, Eric, I have some things to talk to you about at work. I'm sorry to disturb your rest on the weekend." Xia Xiaoluo said lightly.He knows that the United States is a society that distinguishes between public and private. At work, the boss is the boss, but outside of work, everyone is equal.Weekends are statutory rest days, and employees can refuse to communicate with their bosses.

"No, no, Mr. Xia, you are too polite. It is my honor that you can call me. I also have shares in Strong Culture. I am working for myself. How can I bother you? If you have any orders, just say it. "Eric quickly sat up from the bed, sat upright, and replied with a respectful face, although he knew that Xia Xiaoluo couldn't see him talking on the phone like this, or laying down to talk on the phone.

"I heard that for another Spielberg film, um, the film called "Schindler's List", the investment agreement has not been signed yet?" Xia Xiaoluo smiled secretly, thinking, money The power of the company is really great, and the charm of equity incentives is really great.

"Oh, it looks like this..." Cold sweat broke out on Eric's face. After all, this matter was the only thing he did on his own, against Xia Xiaoluo's wishes. "The registered capital of Strong Culture is only 8 million U.S. dollars. Now, the investment in Titanic has reached 4 million U.S. dollars, and the investment in "Jurassic Park" has already reached 7000 million U.S. dollars. This damn Spielberg, He is a director who likes to burn money, worth 1000 million!" Eric gritted his teeth and said. "Moreover, sir, this film also has follow-up game development, peripheral products, and a game production line. These all require investment, and it is estimated to cost tens of millions of dollars. You know, the rhythm of investment needs to be grasped, and financial security The problem……"

"Very good." Xia Xiaoluo smiled and said, "It's good that you can consider these issues, which shows that you are a responsible manager."

"Uh...thank you for understanding. I was thinking, after the success of Jurassic Park, it shows that Spielberg is a talented director who can help us make money, and then..." Eric didn't expect that Xia Xiaoluo didn't get angry, and even praised himself.In my heart, I am flattered, just like a child eating candy.Dare to speak out your own thoughts.

"However, you have to understand that risks and benefits are equal. How can there be no risks in doing business. Seizing opportunities that others cannot grasp also means taking risks that others dare not take." Xia Xiaoluo He smiled and said: "What if, I mean, what if, after Mr. Spielberg's success in "Jurassic Park", his "Schindler's List" won the favor of other investors?"

"..." Eric didn't speak, he really hadn't thought of this question.

"So, I ask you to hold on to this director, and also to this unseen movie. If everyone sees that this is an opportunity, he will not be an opportunity, and he will lose his investment. value." Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile.

"I understand! Sir! I will sign an agreement with Spielberg right now!" Eric was persuaded by Xia Xiaoluo, he fully agreed with Xia Xiaoluo's point of view, indeed, if everyone saw the movie Investment value, then Spielberg will sit on the ground and raise the price, and the remuneration he wants may not be the original relatively low coefficient.He secretly sighed in his heart, this young man is indeed a master of investment.
