Hong Kong, Peninsula Hotel

This is the third time Cao Xuan has come to Xiangjiang to film. Cao Xuan is really thinking about setting up a formal company in Xiangjiang and organizing some team members to facilitate filming in the future.

He finally figured out that Xiangjiang is a melting pot, and its history is very complicated. Many foreign movies with magical adaptations can be adapted into it, and the scale can be relatively liberal.

There is no way, many things in the Mainland are not easy to pass the review. Xiangjiang is the easiest background to pass the review while retaining the Chinese elements.

Moreover, Xiangjiang has a certain influence internationally and can be exported overseas without too many barriers.

If nothing unexpected happens, some of the future urban film and television shootings of Fanxing Film and Television may be shot in Xiangjiang. Having a relatively fixed company can save a lot of trouble.

Some people even suggested to Cao Xuan that they hope that he would fund the acquisition of Golden Harvest, ATV and even TVB. While opening up Fanxing's media channels in Asia, there would also be a TV platform that could avoid large-scale censorship in the mainland and stably produce and export Chinese TV series.

However, Cao Xuan was very hesitant, so Jiahe was fine. Although the foundation was not high, fortunately the price was not expensive either. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was not a loss overall.

ATV and TVB are different. The price is high, there are many bad things, and there are all kinds of internal strife. They have advantages, but they are also thorns. Cao Xuan is not optimistic about them personally.

With this money, Cao Xuan might as well invest in Netflix and take the streaming media route.

However, Netflix is ​​facing a lot of troubles, and the amount of capital investment is not generally large. The most important thing is that it is difficult for Cao Xuan to obtain the main control.

Of course, it is still a bit far away to say this now. Netflix's transformation and trough period have not yet come, so investment cannot be said to be enough.

Therefore, instead of worrying about Xiangjiang TV and Netflix, Cao Xuan is now more willing to put more effort into Marvel.

In 2006, Marvel was in the early stages of preparing to launch its movie strategy. Now it is raising money from Wall Street with copyrights. As a well-known investor, Cao Xuan is also willing to add fuel to the rise of Marvel.

However, Cao Xuan is not interested in the copyrights of those heroes. In other words, his goal is not just the copyrights, but the shares of Marvel.

Cao Xuan doesn't have a lot of cash on hand, but he can still get 100 to 200 million US dollars, which is a bit tight. On the premise that it does not affect the domestic layout, 300 million US dollars is not impossible.

In addition, Warner Music Group is currently listed there. Thanks to the wonderful performance of Cao Xuan's "Legend" and a popular superstar under its banner, the market is very optimistic about Warner Music Group, and its market value has soared.

The 10% stake that Cao Xuan acquired for US$200 million has now increased by at least 80%, nearly doubling. If it goes public and cashes out, Cao Xuan is expected to receive US$300-400 million in cash.

Although Cao Xuan is more optimistic about the short-term future of Warner Music Group, if compared with Marvel, Cao Xuan would choose the latter without hesitation.

By selling some non-core industry shares, Cao Xuan can probably squeeze out nearly US$800 million in cash.

With such a huge amount of money, it’s hard to say whether to buy Marvel directly, but it will definitely hit Marvel.

Cao Xuan never wanted to control Marvel. Disney is the key to Marvel's success. He just wanted to control a part of the shares and then follow Disney's lead.

Before "Iron Man" was released, it was his best opportunity to operate. When "Iron Man" became popular, everyone knew the potential of Marvel, and Disney made a large-scale acquisition. It was too late for Cao Xuan to take advantage.

Cao Xuan never wanted to dominate the American entertainment industry.

He knows the future development of the situation better than anyone else. To put it bluntly, Cao Xuan has worked hard to win a kingdom in the United States. If the relationship between the two countries becomes tense, he may also be robbed by sanctions.

Either kneel down and be like a dog and be scorned by the people of the country, or give up the country to your hands.

Cao Xuan couldn't kneel down, and he would be sick if the country was surrendered. Therefore, he would not take the lead and control a certain company easily. At most, he would share some shares and be a shareholder who was neither big nor small and had a certain say.

In this way, not only will deliberate targeting be counteracted to a certain extent, but it will also be easier to take off one's gloves when the situation is wrong.

Therefore, Cao Xuan basically focuses on investment in the United States, and some of them have several layers of vests. The only company he fully controls is Mars Records, and he signed a Taylor.

For Cao Xuan, this Mars record is more interesting for playing tickets. It's a small fight, and there is no loss if it closes.

Otherwise, with Cao Xuan's temperament, if he really wants to be a record company, he will definitely not be able to just sign Taylor, at least recruit four or five future popular singers, or even develop with the goal of counter-acquisition of Warner Music Group.

But Cao Xuan knew that this was impossible. Even if he bought Warner, he would be a hooligan and all his hard work of more than ten years would be wasted.

Therefore, in fact, whether investing or producing records abroad, Cao Xuan has only one purpose, to earn money and then convert it into RMB to invest in domestic industries.

If an American industry can appreciate in value, keep it; if it is not profitable, sell it; if it doesn't work, then return it to China and continue to be a boring entertainment boss...

Marvel Cao Xuan plans to get involved, and is already in contact, and has even begun to privately acquire the shares of some small shareholders.

For Marvel, which is in urgent need of money, they are happy to approach a rich man with hundreds of millions in cash. Although some shareholders do not want to raise funds to dilute their shares, the conditions can be negotiated slowly.

"..."

Cao Xuan retracted his divergent thoughts. The acquisition was handled by his own professionals. He couldn't help much, so he should just keep filming.

"Hurricane Rescue" does not have many scenes in Xiangjiang. It mainly introduces the background at the beginning and allows the younger sister Liu Tianxian and Cao Xuan to meet each other, which foreshadows the rest of the story.

Wearing a pale white trench coat, Liu Tianxian is pretty and beautiful, making people feel good just looking at her.

On the other hand, Da Mimi, who plays the role of best friend, wears smoky makeup, messy dyed hair, and a riveted leather jacket, looking like a punk girl.

As the heroine, the sister needs the audience's empathy. Even if she is a little rebellious, it cannot be too much, so she needs a pig teammate to promote and help advance the plot.

In the setting of the movie, my sister’s trip abroad was instigated by this little girl’s best friend.

When they came to Xiangjiang, my brother learned that the two girls planned to travel to Japan alone, and he severely stopped them. My sister wanted to be obedient and compromise, but was finally brainwashed by this little girl's best friend.

After traveling to Japan, although the two of them were targeted early on, the younger sister was somewhat vigilant. Instead, the younger sister indulged in flirting with the handsome guy, and eventually the situation was discovered and she was kidnapped.

Not only is the character extremely unlikable, but the ending is tragic.

Because the heroine was beautiful and a virgin, she was kept by the gang for auction, and was even used as the final product, giving precious time to her brother's rescue.

My best friend was half disabled by taking drugs, and then sent to the underground red light district to work as a secret agent. Finally, she was found by her brother and died without saying a few words.

There are two versions of this section. The foreign version was directly rejected, and the domestic version was also rejected. However, in order to pass the review, we filmed an additional scene where the best friend was rescued and was quietly sent to the embassy for treatment. It will be reviewed according to the review standards.

Select.

But no matter which version, this best friend is very miserable, especially compared to Liu Tianxian, she is simply a pure and innocent person.

Damimi was in a bad mood when she came to the set of "Taken". If she didn't have the courage, she would have wanted to throw down the script and leave.

This is too bullying!

Liu Tianxian was in a good mood. In fact, she had very few scenes as the heroine. She only had one scene in the beginning, a few scenes in the middle, and then she showed up in the final climax.

To put it bluntly, this movie is Cao Xuan's personal show. The heroine and villain are all tools to highlight Cao Xuan.

But happiness comes from comparison. No matter how "tool-like" she is as the heroine, she is still better than Da Mi Mi, the unjust supporting character.

Looking at Da Mimi with her fancy hair, Liu Tianxian was in a very happy mood and was kind enough to share his MP3 playlist with Da Mimi.

"Dark Sky"

"YeYeYeYe"

"Awakening Time"

Damimi smiled brightly and turned to share her playlist with Liu Tianxian.

"friend"

"did someone tell you"

"Wolf with goat's skin"

Liu Tianxian played Chen Xiaochun's "You'll Be Cruel" again, and Damimi responded with Sun Yue's "I Wish You Peace". The two parties went back and forth, which was particularly warm and friendly.

Not far away, Cao Xuan glanced at the two little sisters who were "in love" and "talking and laughing" with confusion, and scratched his head in confusion.

No, why did he feel the familiar smell of the Shura Field? Maybe the East and West Palaces have been living in harmony in the past two years, and his radar has failed.

"Sissi has a much more cheerful personality now and is more lively than in previous years."

Cao Xuan made a comment, and Liu Ma, the assistant who came here to take care of her daughter, agreed, not forgetting to flatter her.

"It's all thanks to you and Teacher Zeng who helped give Sissy a lot of support and encouragement. My child has made it this far. Thank you very much."

"You're welcome, let's not talk about our personal relationship. After all, we are employees of the company. Sissi is young, so she should help take care of her."

Mother Liu nodded, exchanged a few more polite greetings, and then casually mentioned: "I see online voting for the goddess of this year's Golden Eagle Festival has begun. Do you think Sissi can win the championship?"

Cao Xuan looked at Ma Liu, looking at her charming and intellectual face, a sentence suddenly popped into his mind.

"Madam, you probably don't want your daughter to..."

Bah bah!

Cao Xuan shook his head. Thanks to the hotel TV, he could actually receive Japanese late-night programs, which made him confused.

Empress Xigong is still pregnant with a baby.

People named Cao, please be a human being!

Cao Xuan swept those messy things aside, looked at the expectant Liu Ma, and made it clear.

"The company will support Qianqian and Bingbing, but whoever succeeds will actually have to look at the ideas of the people in Hunan Province and Taiwan."

At Cao Xuan's suggestion, the Golden Eagle Festival was reorganized in advance, with a cycle of two years, and the Golden Eagle Goddess was introduced as a gimmick.

Choosing a young, beautiful, and extremely popular new-generation actress to serve as the role is a good honor for the popular little girls.

The first Golden Eagle Goddess in 2004 was Hu Jing, who was still widely influential in TV dramas at that time. Of course, there was also a certain reason why she was reciprocated by Hunan Province and Taiwan.

Two years passed by in a flash, and in 2006 it was time for the second Golden Eagle Goddess selection.

Although it is an online + telephone voting, the key is that it is operated by the Hunan Provincial Channel. There are many ways to do it. Without some background support, it can't hold the place.

Currently, the four most popular actresses will basically not compete for the Golden Eagle Goddess.

Although the Golden Eagle Goddess has no set limitations, the Golden Eagle Award is a TV drama award, and it will definitely favor actresses in the TV field.

The four actresses have basically transformed into movie stars, and most of them are actresses who have won mainstream film awards. They don't particularly value this golden eagle goddess.
