Rebirth

Seeing the expressions of the two, Li Feng couldn't help wondering in his heart whether he had fallen behind. The two seemed not as harmonious as he thought.

In fact, how did Li Feng know that Jiahe had entered the biggest crisis in 1996. As soon as the environment of Xiangjiang was in a downturn, the entertainment industry of Xiangjiang was getting worse and worse during the period from the late 1990s, and there was not enough market in the mainland market. Supporting and sluggish, we must know that the annual box office of the mainland market at this time may be only a few hundred million.

Secondly, the eldest brother becoming the star of Jiahe is not a fuel-efficient lamp. As people’s box office appeal in the Chinese circle and the Asian market continues to increase, mainly Japan, after all, at this time Japan is the world’s second largest ticket holder. .

Especially recently, as the eldest brother Cheng went out of Asia and started half-footing into Hollywood's threshold, today's Jiahe Company can no longer support the real dragon in this increasingly depleted pond.The wings were hard, and he wanted to fly. At this time, the older brother Cheng was no longer satisfied with being an actor, and he didn't even want to cooperate with Jiahe anymore.

It was time for Jiahe to be a little bit domestic and foreign. At the same time, his best partner, He Xunchang, was admitted to the hospital because of his health. The eldest brother Cheng had the best relationship with He Xingchang, and he was even considered a father and son.

However, news from the hospital said that He Lianchang's body was almost exhausted. Without He Lianchang's adjustments in the middle, it would be almost a foregone conclusion that Big Brother Cheng, the entertainment industry tycoon, would leave Jiahe.

The departure of the older brother Cheng is fatal to Jiahe. The influence of the older brother Chengna, who has no box office appeal, is greatly weakened. This visit is because of Zhou Wenhuai’s last fight, considering the identity of Li Feng This became the hope Zhou Wenhuai saw.

...

To be honest, in China's entertainment industry today, Li Feng most values ​​two stars. One is that his eldest brother has become a big brother. After all, he will become popular all over the world, and he can barely count as a wrist in Hollywood.

There is also Zhou Xingxing, who is the guarantee of the box office of the Chinese circle. In the past 10 years of the 21st century, the movie box office of China Xingxing, Zhou Xingxing broke the box office record of a movie.Either of them can support the Discourse Film Company at this time, just like Huayi's later Feng Xiaogang.

Of course, many people may say that there is also Xiao Ma Ge Zhou or Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie, but Li Feng knows that although Zhou Yunfa and Li Lianjie also ventured into Hollywood later, to be honest, in Li Feng's opinion, it was not very successful.

Moreover, these two later Chinese films have almost become synonymous with high salaries and low output. The salaries of the two are said to be charged according to Hollywood standards, which can easily cost millions of dollars or even tens of millions.

At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, the box office of the entire Chinese-speaking circle for a year was so little. As long as two people were invited, it was almost a loss-making business. Such a deal would never be done by Li Feng.

"John, when we were in Hollywood before, we talked about it. Now I want to go to Hollywood to try it out. This is how I think about it. If you dislike me, I can transfer my contract to your company." Listen When he arrived, his boss said to himself in a dark face, and his big nose said to Li Feng a little embarrassed.

"What, isn't it?"

After hearing what the eldest brother Cheng said, Li Feng almost sprayed the imported tea on the spot.Taking a weird look at Zhou Wenhuai, who was still sitting on the side, Li Feng couldn't help but think, it's no wonder Zhou Wenhuai's face is so dark, or else it's so dark.

What kind of person is Big Brother Cheng? It has almost become synonymous with Jiahe. If you want to break into Hollywood, you have to leave Jiahe directly.

...

"Old Zhou, don't you have any comments?" Li Feng couldn't help but smiled and said to Zhou Wenhuai on the side.

"No way, Huaxia doesn't have an old saying,'It's going to rain, my mother wants to marry.' The twisted melon is not sweet. Since Yuanlou (Jackie Chan) wants to go out and break, I won't stop people.

If Yuanlou can sign a contract with Mr. Li's Hollywood company, it may be a good opportunity for Yuanlou, and we can also agree.

However, I hope that Li Sheng can think about it from the other side. Yuan Lou signs under your company's name, and when Yuan Lou is shooting a movie in Hollywood, I hope our Jiahe can cooperate with Mr. Li's company.

Yes, I hope that Jiahe can reach an agreement with MGM under Mr. Li. I know that with the support of Li Sheng, MGM is now vigorously developing MGM’s original global distribution network, but this is not a short time. Finished.

And Jiahe has the largest distribution network in Asia, at least temporarily, it can make up for the shortcomings of MGM’s temporary distribution of films in Asia. If we can reach a cooperation, it will be beneficial to both parties."

"Lao Zhou, to be honest, what you said is still a bit attractive to me, but compared to Hollywood's complete global distribution network, your company does not have a particularly big advantage.

I do have a proposal. Let me tell you. Listen, what about the acquisition of Golden Harvest by my media group?"Li Feng said to the old man with a smile.

...

"Li Sheng, at least for the time being, we have no plans to sell Jiahe. Thank you Li Sheng for taking it seriously." Zhou Wenhuai said to Li Feng immediately.

"Old Zhou, don't rush to refuse, you can listen to me first.

Nowadays, the prospects of Xiangjiang movies can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. The golden age of the 7th and 8th years and the early 90s has passed. The decline of Xiangjiang movies has become a foregone conclusion. You take Jiahe, I can Assert that the final outcome will not be very good.

The second point is that the box office in the Chinese-speaking circle is a bit poor today, while the salaries of today's popular actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan are constantly skyrocketing, leading to rising costs. Nowadays, you can see that almost all the films made are losing money. , At least the current China mainland market is not enough support.

Mainland actors do not have enough box office appeal, and Hollywood is facing the crazy expansion of the world. This is roughly the situation today. You make a movie and lose one.

Don't you think now is the best time for you to pull hands? If you agree to sell Jiahe, we can have a good chat."

Zhou Wenhuai, a person who has been in the entertainment industry for a lifetime, really admired Li Feng. Although he knew something, he did not expect Li Feng to see himself for the first time but gave birth to the income that he wanted to work hard for a lifetime. The intention in the bag.

Looking at Li Feng's young and handsome face, I couldn't help but give birth to the feeling of'bearing a child like John Lee'. Naturally, I chose to reject Li Feng's proposal.Although it was clear that what Li Feng said was actually the truth, he was still unwilling to hand over his lifetime achievements so easily.

...

"Old Zhou, I don't need you to make a decision all at once. You can go back and discuss everything with your partner, or we can buy some shares first, and then we can talk about cooperation." Seeing that the other party directly refused. , Li Feng couldn't help but said with a smile again.

Li Feng knew that another entrepreneur of Jiahe, He Lianchang, was about to die, and he could not buy Jiahe right away. Maybe he could buy a part of it, which would be regarded as a front stop.

When Zhou Wenhuai retires, he can swallow Golden Harvest as a whole, which is still very beneficial for his media company's global layout.After all, at the rebirth of Li Feng in the previous life, China has become the world's largest ticket holder.

What kind of company is Jiahe? Having China's largest distribution network is very beneficial to supplement MGM's own distribution network.

Yes, MGM now only owns the distribution network in North America, which was acquired by the acquisition of Lianmei. As for the distribution network that was originally distributed around the world, it was sold by the gambler.

Okay, I'm talking about the former boss of MGM here again. The Cork gambling king really killed MGM badly.After acquiring MGM for the first time that year, the gambling king sold MGM all over, including the global distribution network, prop production and other departments.
