Chapter 1,256 Ellison miscalculated

"Lin, what kind of care can you give me?" Ellison said with a smile on his face, which was indescribably comfortable. During this period, everything went well, which made others feel particularly refreshed during happy events.

Lin Feng smiled and took out a few scripts in his hand.

"Ellison, there are several scripts here. "Frozen," "The Da Vinci Code," "Ocean's 13," and "Lord of War." Take a look. If you want to film it, it must be next year.

It was filmed before the first session of the 'Lin Feng Film and Art Festival'." Lin Feng placed four scripts in front of Ellison.

Ellison received the four scripts and took a casual look at them. He was deeply attracted by the plots. No, it should be said that he was shocked. These four scripts include horror movies, action movies, dramas, and dramas.

Mystery films are all different, but all are wonderful. Ellison almost wanted to make these four movies immediately. Especially Lin Feng also listed several main actors for Ellison. It can be said that Ellison

As long as Leeson puts in the money, he can take the photo.

"Okay, no problem. These four movies will be made before your film festival next year!" Ellison promised, patting his chest.

Lin Feng nodded.

"Allison, don't let me down." Lin Feng chuckled.

These four scripts are carefully selected by Lin Feng. Because if he wants to catch up with his first film festival next year, he must complete the filming within 11 months. Obviously, those blockbusters with excellent special effects

It’s not suitable to shoot now, so you can only look for movies that don’t take too long to post-produce. But you must ensure that the movie is exciting, otherwise not only will you not be able to build your company’s banner, but you will also not be able to compete with the “Oscar Awards”

To compete.

Of course, Ellison alone would not be able to have enough films to participate in the selection before its first film festival next year. Therefore, Ellison recruited actors and actresses based on the scripts provided by Lin Feng to prepare for the film.

With four movies in the works, Lam Feng also prepared some movies for his company that could be shot within a year and were also attractive and exciting enough.

"Joseph, that Ellison seems to be suddenly planning to make four movies. According to my informants, these four movies seem to be quite good! This is just Ellison's film company. I think Lin Feng must have more and better scripts in his hands.

." Ibuka called Joseph, the president of "Twentieth Century Fox".

"Well, out of the blue, this is not a good sign. If it continues like this, I'm afraid next year's 'Lin Feng Film and Art Festival' will really be a hit." Joseph said solemnly.

"Yes, so we must take action. I propose that several of our companies invest in multiple movies at the same time, including famous Hollywood stars, so that even if Lin Feng wants to make a movie, there will be no actors available."

Yin theory.

"Ibuka, your method is good. Even if we lose some money now, as long as we can drive Lin Feng out of the film industry, this gold industry will still belong to us in the future." Joseph agreed to Ibuka's proposal.

"Also, now that the Forest Film Projection Company has a total of 1,028 cinemas, our plan can be implemented." Ibuka's sinister voice sounded again.

"Well, it's time to implement the plan." Joseph nodded.

Immediately, the phone rang.

At this time, at "Lin Feng Film Co., Ltd." in Hollywood, Lin Feng had just selected his first script. The first movie Lin Feng planned to shoot was "War of the Worlds", and the director was naturally Spielberg. By

This great Hollywood director personally performed the special effects of this blockbuster, which is not very impressive.

As for the protagonist, Lin Feng naturally chose the original protagonist of "War of the Worlds", the Hollywood superstar - Tom Cruise. Originally, at this time, Tom Cruise also received a movie from "Sony Columbia" Film Company

script.

Faced with two scripts, Tom Cruise was really in a dilemma. But after some comparison, Tom Cruise chose "War of the Worlds". As for why Tom Cruise abandoned "Sony Columbia Pictures",

There are only two reasons for choosing Lin Feng's film company. First, he admires Spielberg very much and wants to cooperate with him. Of course, this is not why Tom Cruise chose the "War of the Worlds" movie.

The reason, more importantly, is that the script of "War of the Worlds" is good, very, very in line with Tom Cruise's taste. Therefore, under Spielberg's charming lobbying, Tom Cruise, the Hollywood superstar

After a moment of hesitation, he agreed. For him, this dispute between the "Oscar Alliance" and Lam Feng has nothing to do with him. As long as he can make a good movie.

Sony Columbia Pictures was naturally extremely dissatisfied with Tom Cruise taking over Lam Fung's film. Its Vice President Ibuka almost jumped out of anger. But he did not dare to threaten this Hollywood superstar and popular idol.

After all, a person’s name is like a tree’s shadow. With Tom Cruise’s current status, there is really no threat from Ibuka. Unless the “Oscar Alliance” represented by Ibuka can unify the film industry, otherwise

As long as there are other movie companies, Tom Cruise will never really fear the threat of any company.

Don’t forget, Tom Cruise’s fans are all over the world. If Ibuka dares to openly deal with Tom Cruise, he will definitely be spitted to death by the fans. Moreover, Tom Cruise’s

He has friends all over the world, and they will never tolerate Tom Cruise being bullied like this.

Lin Feng, I will definitely make you look good. - Izuku Jingfuka had a look of hatred on his face.

At this time, after Lin Feng finalized the first film and the leading actor, Lin Feng originally wanted to cast his old acquaintance Keanu Reeves for the second film. As a result, Ibuka learned the lesson of Tom Cruise and has already joined forces with "

The other companies of the "Oscar Alliance" have recruited all the unemployed superstars in Hollywood in advance, regardless of whether there is a good script. In short, as long as there are still superstars, the "Oscar Alliance" will invite all the stars to come out and make a most ordinary script.

It's also filled with Hollywood stars.

At the same time, movies such as "Spider-Man" have also been filming sequels. In short, no matter what, 2004 is destined to be a blowout year for movies.

"Lin, what should I do? Nowadays, all the famous stars in Hollywood have been invited away by the 'Oscar Alliance'! It can be said that the rest are just soldiers and generals." Ellison looked at Lin Feng and said helplessly.

Lin Feng nodded. Originally, Lin Feng had been prepared for this scene, but he did not expect that the "Oscar Alliance" would do such a trick and actually invite away even the most famous stars, leaving the entire Hollywood empty.

"Lin, I have assembled the cast for my four movies, but what about your movie?" Ellison was worried for Lin Feng.

If Lam Fung’s company can’t produce good enough films for this film festival, then next year’s first Lam Fung Film and Art Festival will be ridiculous. It’s not ridiculous to hold a film festival of your own but don’t have good enough films to participate.

What!

"Haha, Mr. Lin, we meet again." Ibuka unexpectedly came to Hollywood and visited "Lin Feng Film Entertainment Company" under "Second Entertainment".

"Mr. Jing Shen, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. But you are not welcome here." Lin Feng said coldly.

"Ha, is Mr. Lin such a graceless person?" Ibuka said with a sarcastic look.

"Mr. Jing Shen, this is not a matter of demeanor. It is a matter of stance. Look, does anyone in our company welcome you?" Lin Feng pointed at the people around him.

Everyone looked at him with contempt.

"Mr. Lin, I'm here just to tell you something." Ibuka didn't care and just smiled.

"Say it!" Lin Feng shrugged and said.

"On behalf of all the film companies behind the 'Oscar Alliance', I am here to inform you and your company that all the films of our 'Oscar Alliance' will be refused to be played in the theaters owned by your company, 'Forest Film Exhibition Company'."

That is to say, Mr. Lin, the 1,028 cinemas you have just acquired and built will be in the embarrassing situation of having no movies to play for at least half a year." Ibuka Deyuki laughed.

"What! It's impossible. When I made the acquisition, the contract was already negotiated." Ellison jumped out with an indignant look on his face.

"That's right! It's true. We signed a six-month contract, Mr. Ellison, you are absolutely right!" Ibuka smiled.

Ellison was stunned when he heard this, not understanding what this annoying Japanese meant.

"Izuka Ibuka, you're here to break the contract, right?" Lin Feng said coldly.

"Haha, Mr. Lin is really smart. Yes, I'm here to break the contract. I'm here to tell you openly and openly that I'm here to break the contract." Ibuka laughed and glanced at Ellison with a look of contempt.

"Fuck-you!" Ellison naturally understood at this moment, and his face suddenly became livid with anger.

Lin Feng knew it was broken at first glance. I'm afraid the contract Ellison signed had very low requirements in terms of compensation.

"This is the contract signed between our company and Mr. Ellison. It states that if we break the contract, we will compensate your company for half a year's ticket revenue." Ibuka smiled sinisterly.

"This is a check for half a year's ticket revenue. Please keep it." Ibuka held a check in his hand with a proud smile on his face.

Lin Feng accepted the check, and ticket revenue for the first half of the year totaled US$20 million.

"Mr. Lin, since you don't welcome me, I'll leave. Alas, there are 1,028 movie theaters and there are no movies in half a year. What a pity!" Ibuka laughed and left.

"Lin, I'm sorry. I fell into the trap this time and caused the company to suffer losses." Ellison looked guilty.

It turns out that when he first acquired a movie theater, Ellison wanted to avoid the "Oscar Alliance" from resorting to a tactic of draining salary from the bottom of the pot. Therefore, after signing a contract with it to acquire a movie theater, the other party must guarantee that it could supply movies for half a year and would not block his company's movie theaters.

Because half a year later, the films of our company will be released one after another. By then, together with some foreign films and the film sources of Lin Feng's MGM Film Company, we will be able to ensure that the cinema will have enough film sources.

But the agreement signed at the time stipulated that if the "Oscar Alliance" violated the agreement, it would compensate for half a year's box office revenue based on the average monthly box office revenue of 1,028 theaters. But Ellison forgot one thing, that is, he also built a

At least 400 movie theaters.

Although the compensation is based on the average box office of 628 cinemas, these 628 cinemas themselves are cinemas with insufficient sales. And even if their sales are good, the half-year box office revenue of the compensation is enough to make up for the lack of film sources in half a year, but it cannot make up for it.

The remaining 400 theaters are in the red.

Lin Feng shook his head and patted Ellison on the shoulder.

"Ellison, it's not your fault. I can only say that the other party doesn't care about compensation at all. All they want is that our cinemas don't have enough movies to show in half a year. After all, the compensation amount in the contract cannot exceed too much.

, otherwise I’m afraid the other party won’t agree.” Lin Feng said to comfort Ellison who looked depressed.

Ellison thought for a while and nodded. Indeed, if the "Oscar Alliance" wants to hurt others with its own money, then his company will simply not be able to compete. This is the other party's standard strategy of exchanging money for time.

However, for Ellison, although he knew that he could not resist the opponent's strategy, he was still depressed. Because this was the first time he had failed since his success, and he was defeated so completely.

"Okay, Ellison, don't be depressed. After all, the other party also compensated us US$20 million, which is enough for us to shoot a small-budget movie." Lin Feng said easily.

Ellison smiled bitterly.

"Lin, now our 1028 cinemas have almost no movies to show except those old movies. What are you going to do?" Ellison asked with a frown. He really didn't understand. Faced with this situation,

, Lin Feng can still be so relaxed, this is really beyond his ability.

Perhaps it is because of Lin Feng's good attitude that he is so successful. - Ellison sighed.

Lin Feng smiled and patted Ellison on the shoulder.

"Ellison, there must be a way for a car to reach the mountain and for a boat to reach the bridge. Don't worry too much. There is always a solution to everything." Lin Feng pulled Ellison into the office.

"Lin, what are you going to do?" Ellison asked nervously. If this company belonged to him alone, he would never be so worried, but this company belongs to both him and Lin Feng, and he couldn't accept it because

His mistake caused his partners to lose money together. This was absolutely unacceptable to Ellison, and he could not forgive himself for making such a mistake.
