Next, Xia Yu ordered his subordinates to prepare the employment contract, which was written in 2 days.

Barry Diller solemnly signed his name on it, and then put a contract in his briefcase.

“Boss, I will resign after I go back today. It will take about 3 days to complete the transfer of work.”

Xia Yu nodded said: “Three days are acceptable, but you should be as early as possible. MGM Pictures and United American Pictures are waiting for you to take over.”

“I will as soon as possible!”

Barry Diller replied.

After getting Barry Diller, Xia Yu didn’t hide his plan from him, and told him to wait for an appointment to meet Shirley Lansing, and hired her to become the CEO of MGM Pictures.

Barry Diller also knows this strong woman and has had a lot of dealings with her, so he approves of her abilities and fully agrees with Xia Yu’s plan.

For the next appointment, Xia Yu directly asked Barry Diller to stay here.

When Shirley Lansing arrived, she saw Barry Diller and Xia Yu talking and laughing, she was still stunned, and then she realized that Barry Diller, the Vice-President of Paramount Pictures, had been taken by Xia Yu. Poached away.

Accompanied by Barry Diller, Xia Yu once again told her her plan for MGM Pictures and her arrangements.

Shirley Lansing was not at all receiving an invitation from 20th Century Fox, so she was very satisfied with the CEO position offered by Xia Yu, and gladly accepted Xia Yu’s invitation and became a powerful subordinate of Xia Yu.

Later, Xia Yu told Barry Diller and Shirley Lansing some things, such as having taken a stake in CAA, and secretly integrating theater lines and so on.

These layouts of Xia Yu made two people admire Xia Yu’s layout, and they look forward to the future of MGM.

At this point, Xia Yu can finally rest assured to let two people run MGM and build a media empire for him.

After Barry Diller and Shirley Lansing quickly left.

It seems that it was deliberately aimed at the spreaders of the rumors. Polaris Capital specifically convened a press conference to announce with a high profile that Barry Diller will serve as the Board-Chairman of MGM Pictures and Shirley Lansing will serve as CEO.

After the press conference, the news that Barry Diller and Shirley Lansing were poached by MGM was widely circulated. Some were shocked, some regretted, and some were cold-eyed.

There are 100 states of beings.

But no matter what, many people want to see the jokes between MGM Pictures and Polaris Capital in a short time.

After Barry Diller and Shirley Lansing took over MGM Pictures and United American Pictures, they reformed drastically, and at the same time, they used the 200000000 million USD invested by Polaris Capital to redeem the lost films. copyright.

Just when Xia Yu was about to relax, Michael Ovitz called him and told him that Steven Spielberg had seen the script of “Alien E·T” and wanted to talk to him Talk in person.

On the morning of January 1, after Xia Yu had breakfast, she drove to the CAA brokerage company.

After getting the report from the staff, Michael Ovitz immediately came out to greet Xia Yu.

Only a few months later, Michael Ovitz’s attitude has undergone a fundamental change.

He has become more respectful of Xia Yu, and his attitude is very low. Obviously, Polaris Capital’s acquisition of MGM Pictures and United American Films gave him a huge shock.

Although Xia Yu briefly mentioned it to him before, but after all, it feels not at all intuitive.

But when what Xia Yu said was realized in such a short period of time, and Polaris Capital still entered Hollywood with such a domineering attitude, he, a practitioner in the Hollywood film and television industry, felt more profound than ordinary people.

With the support of MGM Pictures, which has annexed United Film Corporation, the CAA brokerage company he created will rise faster, and he will no longer have to wait cautiously when signing with celebrity.

CAA Brokerage Company surpasses his old club William Morris Brokerage Company Asahi is waiting, and it is more likely to have an impact on MCA Group in the future!

From now on, Xia Yu’s influence on him is no longer pure capital, but all the resources of MGM Pictures.

“Mr. Xia, after witnessing your series of operations, I couldn’t sleep at night for the past few days. It was really shocking. You changed the pattern of Hollywood easily.”

As he walked, Michael Ovitz was flattered.

These days, this kind of flattery and compliment made Xia Yu’s ears callous, so he just laughed and said nonchalantly: “It’s okay, it’s been around 250 million USD. On the contrary, it was the hunting of the Board-Chairman and CEO of MGM Pictures that cost me a little bit.”

Xia Yu’s casual attitude made Michael Ovitz’s expression stiff. He looked at Xia Yu subconsciously and found that Xia Yu didn’t look like it was. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, giving him a strong feeling of prickling.

Invisible pretending to be the most deadly.

“250 million USD is said so easily, Mr. Xia, I have seen so many people, so you can say such things, I don’t know what to say anymore.”

Michael Ovitz said quietly.

Xia Yu was slightly taken aback, looked at Michael Ovitz who had been hit a little, and laughed dumbfounded, and did not go any further on this topic.

After a while, the entire group came to the office.

“Mr. Xia, it’s not yet the agreed time. Steven Spielberg hasn’t come yet, but it should be almost here.”

After sitting down, Xia Yu found a comfortable sitting position and said nonchalantly, “Then wait.”

“Michael, do you know what Steven Spielberg is up to now? “Indiana Jones” should be finished? Did he take a new movie?”

Faced with a series of questions raised by Xia Yu, Michael Ovitz immediately said: “I asked specifically, the shooting mission of “Indiana Jones” has been completed and is now entering post-production. According to the normal schedule, this The movie should be released in the summer.”

“Then I asked Steven Spielberg, and he clearly told me that he had received a lot of scripts, but he didn’t decide which one to shoot.”

Xia Yu slightly nodded, relax.

Since Steven Spielberg has not settled down and is willing to come over to talk, the probability of taking over the movie “Alien E·T” by him is great, and it can be filmed in the first time. The key is to wait. Can it be done?

The movie “Alien E·T” was filmed by Steven Spielberg. After its final release, it sparked a movie-watching boom worldwide, with a global box office of 7 100000000 million 90 million USD.

So although the Hollywood director is not only Steven Spielberg, but in order to ensure the success as much as possible, Xia Yu still wants Steven Spielberg to make this movie.

……

When the two were chatting, it was unconsciously at 2:9 in the morning, and Steven Spielberg arrived two minutes earlier.

After a courteous greeting, the three people sat around the table.

Steven Spielberg directly took out the script of “Alien E·T” he had received before, and his eyes drifted away from the two people.

Michael Ovitz explained immediately: “Mr. Spielberg, this movie script was produced by our company’s major shareholder Mr. Xia.”

“Mr. Xia, this script is wonderful, and it attracts me.” Steven Spielberg said graciously, without concealing his attitude.

Xia Yu said with a smile: “Mr. Spielberg, you have a lot of knowledge in science fiction and commercial films, so I also think you will be interested in it. I wonder if you would like to shoot it?”

Praise belongs to praise, but when it comes to specific cooperation matters, Steven Spielberg is also very cautious and did not immediately nodded, but bluntly pointed out the concerns and said: “Mr. Xia, this script is It’s very good, but there is more than one factor that determines the box office of a movie. The Galaxy Film Company written on the script was just a small film company from Asia. It does not fight Hollywood.”

Although Steven Spielberg is telling the truth, Xia Yu still feels a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he had already considered this point, so he was anxious to take MGM Pictures.

Xia Yu lightly said: “Mr. Spielberg, Galaxy Pictures is not qualified, what about MGM?”

When it comes to MGM Pictures, Steven Spielberg frowns.

During this period of time, the affairs of MGM Pictures were raging, he of course it’s clear, if it was MGM Pictures that had annexed United States Pictures, then it would definitely be qualified.

It’s just that Mr. Xia is not the major shareholder of CAA Brokerage Company. He has already settled the investment before MGM Pictures has settled down?

To ensure the release of this “Alien E·T”, at least 20 million USD, MGM Pictures agreed so soon?

Doubtful, Steven Spielberg asked directly: “Mr. Xia, MGM Pictures is willing to vote for this movie? Is it the only producer in the same house?”

“Of course not, MGM Pictures and Galaxy Films co-produced this movie.”

Xia Yu said without hesitation.

At this moment, Michael Ovitz realized that Steven Spielberg should not know the identity of Xia Yu, only if Xia Yu is a major shareholder of CAA brokerage company.

So he introduced again in good faith: “Mr. Spielberg, I think I have to introduce you to Mr. Xia. He is not only the major shareholder of our company, but also the Board-Chairman of Polaris Capital, MGM Shadow He led the acquisition of film companies and United States Films.”

Steven Spielberg was shocked. He looked at Xia Yu up and down, took a deep breath to suppress the waves in his heart, and apologized: “I’m sorry Mr. Xia, please allow me to take back the question just now. At this point, I There is no doubt.”

A joke, Polaris Capital has spent 200000000 million 8,000 4 million USD to acquire MGM Pictures, another 60 million USD to acquire United Films, and then announced an investment of 200000000 million USD.

Polaris Capital is simply inhumane.

Now that the Board-Chairman of Polaris Capital had said this personally, asking him again would undoubtedly insult Xia Yu and his own IQ.

It’s just that he wants to know what Xia Yu’s position is for this movie. Only by knowing this can he decide whether to take over.

So he asked again: “Mr. Xia, according to the script, this movie does not have too many big scenes, so the production cost should be more than 10 million USD and it can be solved, plus the publicity cost is 20 million USD. Around, do you think it’s okay?”

Xia Yu looked straight at Steven Spielberg, and seriously said: “Mr. Spielberg, this movie will be the first film of MGM Pictures’ re-emergence, so I will work hard For the pursuit of classics, there will be no restrictions on the production cost, let alone 20 million USD, it can be doubled or more, as long as you spend your money worthwhile and meaningful!”

Steven Spielberg was silent for a moment, then shrugged and said: “I don’t think as long as I’m a normal director, I won’t refuse this temptation!”

“The pursuit of the ultimate in film is also my life creed.”

“Mr. Xia, I made this movie!”

Xia Yu smiled immediately, got up and stretched out his hand to him, Steven Spielberg immediately reached out and held Xia Yu together.

“Wish us happy cooperation!”

“Happy cooperation!”

After reaching a verbal agreement, there are other details.

For example, the director’s share ratio, the actor’s agency agreement, the preparation of release, the authority to revise the script again, etc. are all discussed.

At the end, Xia Yu made one last request.

“Mr. Spielberg, it’s January 1981. I hope this movie can be released in the summer next year, no problem?”

The time span is ten or seven months, which is already a long time for a movie. His “Indiana Jones” started in June last year and will be released in June this year, which is only a year away.

Even if you add the previous wrangling time and the preparation time, it is only about ten or four months.

Although he will try his best to make “Alien E·T” perfect because of Xia Yu’s request, it takes 3 more months and it is enough!

So he said without any pressure: “Of course it’s okay. You will definitely be able to see this movie in theaters next summer.”

“I look forward to the final product!”

Xia Yu said with a smile.

After the negotiation, Xia Yu and Steven Spielberg agreed to formally sign the contract the day after tomorrow.

After returning, Xia Yu immediately notified Barry Diller to prepare him, and at the same time gave him the script of “Alien E·T” that had not been modified by Steven Spielberg.

While Barry Diller was shocked by the actions of the Boss, he quickly prepared.

Two days later, Wu Siyuan, Company General Manager of Galaxy Films, arrived in San Francisco to attend the press conference of MGM Pictures.

In the focal point of ten thousands, Barry Diller, Steven Spielberg, Wu Siyuan and the others stepped onto the podium, and the reporters who arrived kept pressing the shutter.

Then, the three-party agreement was signed under the spotlight.

MGM Pictures and Galaxy Films jointly invested in the filming of the “Alien E·T” film, with an initial capital of 50 million USD, MGM Pictures contributed 30 million USD, and Galaxy Films contributed 20 million USD, Steven Spielberg is the director.

The media immediately recorded this historic moment.

After the signing of the agreement, Barry Diller made no secret and directly announced that “Alien E·T” will be released in the summer file next year. It is undoubtedly that he is driving and facing off.

This is a provocation from the “lion”!

The media immediately became excited. Reporters from all walks of life used cameras to record Barry Diller’s domineering scenes, and they were already thinking about how to “pick things” after quickly conceiving back.

If the other 6 great big shots are willing to step down and make a statement, then half a month or even a month’s bonus will not escape.

In the end, this press conference ended in the hustle and bustle.

On the same day, major entertainment evening newspapers and TV entertainment channels reported this breaking news one after another. Hollywood’s large and small film companies all learned of the news and received mixed reactions.

But these are not within Xia Yu’s attention, nor can it attract the attention of Barry Diller, who is busy dealing with company affairs and preparing to build a shooting project team for “Alien E·T”.

And Xia Yu took a plane, across the entire United States, to New York.
