Chapter 465 "The Martian", one of the keys to Paramount
September 9, Beverly Hills.
"We need change, change!"
Philip Dorman looked excited and waved his hands: "CBS is still a big TV station in America, but young people have long stopped watching TV. Teenagers who used to watch MTV have all switched to YouTube..."
Spit flew across the sky, flying towards Lei Shidong who was sitting in a wheelchair in front of him.
The entertainment tycoon who runs across Hollywood has lost his ability to move.
Some time ago, he sucked food into his lungs and lost his swallowing function, so he could only rely on his girlfriend Manuel Hezer or nurse to feed him.
According to the private doctor, the ability to speak will also be lost, so a tablet computer was placed on the wheelchair in advance, and three sentences were recorded in advance:
"Yes", "No", and a "Fuxk You".
"Paramount has become a Hollywood joke. The top six, relying on Netflix to earn poor production fees, it is no longer a high-quality asset. If you miss Marvel, you will miss half. We can't miss the other half."
Philip Dorman said with his beard flying, "I must be responsible to you and to Viacom's shareholders. Paramount has already dragged down Viacom's stock price, which has fallen by 2%!"
"change?"
Lei Shidong drooped his eyelids and murmured to Manuel Hezer next to him, and then she relayed loudly: "Change, what kind of change, the introduction of Wanda can change everything? 30 billion dollars can only save Paramount moment!"
"That's why Daqin is needed!"
Philip Dorman said excitedly: "Daqin has the potential of 'Little Lionsgate', it has excellent content production capabilities in the United States, and its A24 can win awards like Miramax.
On the IP, there is a killer universe created by "Quick Kill", and it also has the right to develop DC villains such as Joker and Harley Quinn. I have seen "Suicide Squad", which was established by it, and the evil alliance universe is also promising...
'Content is king', don't forget, you're the first to say it! "
Lei Shidong's heart couldn't help being touched, and he didn't press the "fuxk you" button for a long time.
"Why don't we buy it?" Manuela Herzer relayed.
Daqin made a profit of nearly [-] million yuan last year. How can Paramount buy it from a poor company?
Old fool!
Philip Dorman rolled his eyes, took a sip of whiskey, calmed down, and spoke slowly and calmly.
"Universal and Warner offer higher prices. They are interested in Daqin's content resources, and they also like Ye Guangji behind Daqin. To enter the Chinese market and increase the share of imported movies, they need Chinese allies."
Manuel Hezer said: "So if we want to acquire Daqin, we must accept Wanda's new acquisition?"
"Yes!"
"fuxk you!"
Lei Shidong pressed the button, and the pre-recorded voice popped out from the tablet, and then tremblingly typed in pinyin:
"fuxk chinese!"
Oh, you Jews are similar.
Philip Doman spread his hands: "If you refuse, Daqin will cooperate with Netflix. The condition is that Netflix must terminate the agreement with Paramount, and Paramount will even be deprived of the opportunity to work!"
"fuxk you!"
Lei Shidongjiang pressed the button to vent his anger.
Philip Dorman turned a blind eye: "It's only 40%, Paramount is still controlled by your family, why refuse to introduce the world's largest theater chain, we can perfectly bypass the "Paramount Act" [1, See what the author said for details], our film is not short of new funds.
Think about your children, think about your family, Redstone, it's in everyone's interest. "
Lei Shidong stopped letting his girlfriend spread the word, and said weakly: "Let that Daqin prove its value first, one or two is just luck, I need to see more evidence!"
Seeing the stubborn old fox let go, Philip Dorman felt relieved that his trip had been worthwhile.
"But at that time, it wasn't that Paramount's 8% could be exchanged for 65% of the equity."
"fuxk you!"
Lei Shidongjiang touched the button and turned his head away in disdain.
........................
"Did Lei Shidong let go?"
Ye Qin immediately received the message from Ye Ning.
At this time, at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, he was walking on the street with bright lights, and the vehicles were speeding past him.
The recording of No.12 of "Extreme Challenge" today means that the first season has come to a successful conclusion. Huang Lei proposed to have a barbecue dinner, and the men will help the 6 brothers, and finally get together.
"Need to come up with more results?"
Ye Qin smacked his lips, Daqin of the North American branch, is it not enough to sell 65% of the shares?
What's the matter, do you still want to wait for Ye Guangji's shares?
Ye Ning vowed: "Actually, if it wasn't for Mr. Wang's insistence on the Big Six, we still have plan B, which is Legendary Pictures, to create a new 'Lionsgate' and pull Paramount down."
Hehe, I would rather find Netflix than draw a legend.
Ye Qin had a plan in mind, the reason why he and Wanda joined forces in the acquisition of Paramount, wasn't it because he wanted to take over the deal in a few years?
In order to repay the debt, the richest man before the king had to cut his tail to survive.
77 hotels were sold to R&F, 13 cultural tourism projects were sold to Sunac, and a bunch of theaters from AMC were also sold. Will Paramount’s stock be dumped by then?
If all 40% is thrown away, who will it be thrown to?
Ye Guangji would be happy to take some of the orders, or even all of them!
At that time, unless the US government intervenes, otherwise, there will be CJ and DreamWorks, Neon will have Universal and Sony Columbia, and Huaxia will finally have a bridgehead in Hollywood——
Paramount!
As for the money, Ye Guangji definitely can’t afford the $30 billion, but some are willing to pay, such as Li Ruigang from Shanghai Wentou, or Lu Huateng from Penguin...
"Boss, who are you calling?"
Just listening to the entrance of the barbecue shop, Wang Lei spoke fluent Beijing movies and joked a few words: "Come in quickly, if one of the six is missing, you will be missing one!"
"Rego, I'm sorry."
Ye Qin apologized, and as soon as he walked into the store, he immediately felt the gazes of Sun Honglei, Huang Bo, Bai Yu and others, and apologized again.
"Sorry, we accept it."
Huang Bo made a haha, picked up the wine bottle and filled the glass: "However, you will be fined three glasses, Qin Zi, don't deny it!"
Without hesitation, Ye Qin drank three cups boldly.
"Qin Zi, be proud!"
Sun Honglei gave a thumbs up: "It's only because you have such pride that you dare to vote for a sci-fi film. Who knows what the prospect of a Chinese sci-fi film is. No one dares to take risks if there is no bottom line."
Ye Qin picked up a bunch of chicken wings: "So, we just let the capital see that sci-fi movies can earn box office!"
"Qin Zi, it's not that I hit you, it's not enough, you have to add another one, you have to make these popular movies not earn box office, lose money, and lose too much capital, so you don't vote!"
Sun Hong shook her head: "Look at that "Pancake Man", a mess of people, just because of the traffic, the box office has a box office of 10 billion, and "National Witness" is only 1 million, what the hell!"
"Qin Zi, your "The Martian" is scheduled for the 30th, right? Is it the same date as "Little Times 4"?"
As soon as Huang Lei asked the question, Huang Bo hurriedly replied, "That's right, I also collided with Xu Shanzheng's "Lost in Hong Kong".
Ye Qin sipped his beer to hold back his laughter, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.
Fuck, is "囧带" a dragon, or a worm?
Like "Detective Chinatown 3", I messed up my own reputation, the jokes were low-level and clichéd, there was no laughing point throughout, it was a mess.
Wang Baoqiang was replaced by Bao Beier, the failure of failures.
What can Paul Bell do?He played the role of Mr. Zhao who "pays the bill tonight" in his true colors.
"You have the courage to set the movie before the company goes public."
Huang Lei gave a thumbs up, "Qin Zi, is your premiere held abroad or in China?"
"In China, it's in Yanjing." Ye Qin said.
Huang Lei raised his wine glass: "Brothers, then when the premiere ceremony comes, we will count one by one, and we will all go to support Qin Zi."
"No problem!" Huang Bo, Bai Yu and others all stood up, and their wine glasses collided.
Sun Honglei yelled and added: "Qin Zi, you must turn over the traffic movies, that Guo Xiaosi is the one who started it!"
"Paramount Act": Enterprises engaged in theaters cannot simultaneously engage in film production. Therefore, major Hollywood studios have divested theaters one after another.
Of course, this is purely a fool. The Big Six doesn’t have it, but it doesn’t prevent the holding company from owning it. The Redstone family’s Showcase theater chain ranks tenth in the United States, although its size is only a tenth of AMC’s.
