Bai Quinn and Chris nodded in one fell swoop, and listened silently to Uncle Tony's next words.

Anyone who has watched "The Godfather" knows that interjecting at this time will make the "The Godfather" angry.

"Take the conflict between family members home to resolve, so that outsiders can not let jokes... you have done a good job of this." Uncle Tony patted Chris' chest and said, "Come on, tell me your opinions about Xiaobai in front of him."

"uncle!"

Chris looked at Uncle Tony with anticipation. Seeing that Tony did not respond, he peeked at Bai Quinn, bit his lip, and said: "I admit that Xiaobai is talented. Without him, Wademark will not be able to reach the size of today..."

After saying that, Chris suddenly took a sip of beer, made up his mind before continuing: "But Xiaobai is too stubborn, can't listen to advice, too strong, and revenge is not overnight. There is a big reason for our current difficulties, and it is also Xiaobai's responsibility..."

"My responsibility?" Bai Quinn pointed at his nose. As soon as he was about to defend himself, he was stopped by Uncle Tony's sharp eyes.

Seeing this, Chris seemed to be inspired and no longer hesitated when he spoke.

"Yes! If you hadn't had to fall out with Harvey, we wouldn't have been forced to bind Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. has changed the senior executives. We can go to Paramount, Universal, and Sony Columbia, but what about now?

We had a falling out with Miramax. With such a precedent, other blockbusters were hard to accept us. Apart from Warner Bros., we had no place to stay and could only continue to invest money to establish our own overseas distribution department.

Why do we make movies?

It’s not just to sleep with a few little stars! We want to make money. Wademark Image has not distributed dividends for two years. Not only has it been no dividends, but it has also borrowed a lot of money!

You can say that those are investments in the ‘Plan A’ fund, but we always have to pay back the money after the movie makes a profit!

What if the movie fails? It may not matter if you play one. You and Said are good friends, and you are also one of the LPs yourself, but what about two plays? What about three plays or four plays?

Will the ‘Plan A’ fund raise funds for Wademark Image?

What should we do then? Find new investors? Who else can we find?

The working capital of Wademark image will always be only enough to pay half a year's salary. What should we do if we don't earn half a year?

Layoffs?

Once employees are laid off, what should we do with our production work? What should we do with our issuance system?

At that time, we can only sell the company's shares!

One "Gate of Heaven" went bankrupt, one "Cutting the Throat Island" broke Carroll Pictures, one "Future Water World" changed hands, and one "Cleopatra" almost broke 20th Century Fox.

We can clearly make money safely under the existing rules, Charles Rowan's Atlas Entertainment, Joe Ross's Morgan Creek Entertainment, Tom Rosenberg's Lakeshore Pictures, Samuel Goldwind, Jerry Brookheimer Pictures, and your friend's Regent Pictures, none of these companies have their own distribution channels, but they don't delay their making money!

And what about us? It looks amazing in the box office, but how much did we actually get it?

In the past three years, we have only paid millions of dividends by ourselves. The total box office of Wademark Image has exceeded 600 million, and the company's revenue is no less than 300 million, but what about the profits? They have all been spent!

Indeed, we are quite famous. People regard us as the eight majors. DreamWorks is the seven majors. Wademark is the eighth largest producer in the future!

But our original intention is not to take the risk of becoming the top eight Hollywood players!

I just wanted to stop squatting in that boring butcher shop. Uncle Tony just hopes to stop going to war with Giuliani because of the protection fee of a barber shop. What we want is US dollars, real US dollars!”

Bai Quinn looked at Uncle Tony and asked, "Uncle, is this your idea?"

Uncle Tony shrugged and said, "I'm fine. I invested in Victor's fund with family funds, and the interest rate is 15% per year. The old guys can live a good life with interest. But you should really pay attention to the situation of your family. As the president of a company, Chris had to borrow money from me to hold a wedding, which really shouldn't be the case.

We know your abilities, so we respect your decisions. Just when you make a decision, can you take into account the feelings of your family…”

Uncle Tony always smiles and rarely shows seriousness in front of Bai Quinn, but today he criticizes Bai Quinn for his actions for the first time.

Bai Quinn knew that part of the financial problem of Chris was that Chris invested in Fry Electronics. If he bet on Wademark's dividends in the first year of the technology industry, he would now make a lot of money in the stock market, as he did when he invested in Flash.

But of course it is not the time to talk about this. With the attitude of treating the head and the foot pain, Bai Quinn proposed his own solution: "If Chris lacks money, two plans will either we will pay dividends again at the end of the year, or I will lend some money to Chris..."

Uncle Tony quickly interrupted, "No, no, Xiaobai, we Italians will not handle things like this!"

He held Chris over, then put his other hand on Bai Quinn's shoulder and said, "Xiaobai, without your creativity and production ability, Wademark Image might have gone bankrupt long ago, but without Chris' efforts to maintain the relationship with the Italian gang, he was busy with the company's management, Wademark Image would not have grown to this point. Are you right?

You two are very important to the company and to me!

You are all my nephews, so I will treat you equally. The reason why I distributed the equity of Wademark Image like this was actually to prevent such a day. When the two of you have different opinions, I can come out to coordinate and eliminate misunderstandings and disputes.

So, don’t mention the so-called capital increase and share expansion, I won’t agree.”

Bai Quinn looked surprised, but she dared not question it.

"I know what you want to say, Xiaobai, you are worried that the changes in Warner Bros. will affect the international release of Wademark Images.

You want to build an international distribution on your own, Chris doesn't want to.

Do you remember how I mediated your differences last time?

It is the time when you proposed to build your own domestic issuance system.

I supported you that time, so I need to support Chris this time.

One person once, which is very fair. Just like the first time you made a movie, I also had a chance for one person, and one person was 500,000 US dollars each, so I will give you some trouble.

I know that from the perspective of a rational businessman, I should weigh the pros and cons, and even ask a consulting team to help me analyze and make the decision based on the data.

But we are Italians, we are a family, and I don't do housework in the way Jews do things.

I will only solve the problems you have thrown to me by getting along with my family.”

Having said that, Bai Quinn is not easy to argue. Could it be that he can only want Warner Brothers to compromise and eventually become a member of the "Warner Battleship"?

Anon Milkan of Regent Pictures told him two days ago that if Terry Semer left, it might be the original Turner Pictures group who was in charge of Warner Bros. If this happens, his Regent Pictures would compromise and give up 20% of the shares to Warner Bros. and become one of its subsidiaries.

As for Wademark's size, one of the small giants and its own North American distribution system, it is obviously uncontrollable to 20%, and Warner will probably require more than 40%.

However, accordingly, the financial pressure of production will be reduced in the future, and the success rate of winning the prize will be greatly increased. There will be no longer any concerns about Chris, because the failure of a movie may cause a great country to ruin...

It is difficult to generalize gains and losses.

"However, I don't want anyone else to take the opportunity to interfere in the Soprano business!"

Uncle Tony's words made Bai Quinn's eyes lit up.

“So, I thought of a solution!

Xiaobai, don’t you want to establish an international issuance system to avoid being controlled by others? I support you, and you will take the lead in establishing an international issuance company, just like... like... Disney..."

"Bowei Pictures, for Disney..." Chris reminded.

“Yes, just like Bowei Pictures for Disney!

This company is mainly about you, and Wademark Image has some stakes. This operation is not new in the film industry, and many companies are using it...

Of course, we must let your Jewish accountants calculate the specific proportion. No matter how they all allocate, we will focus on you for the international issuing company, which can also reduce your constraints.

I heard that you have a little disagreement with the producers under Chris. In fact, it is unnecessary. No matter how much they say, they are working for us to earn money. If you listen to you, you will still listen to Chris, isn’t it the same…”

Bai Quinn could accept this plan, but obviously, Uncle Tony, who is not very familiar with the film industry, could not come up with this plan by himself.

As for the rights dispute with the producer, Uncle Tony, who has never entered the set, obviously made it simple, but Bai Quinn is not convenient to explain now.

In the short term, it will be difficult for Bai Quinn to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the two solutions, but at least one thing is that the more popular movies Wademark will be in the international market in the future, the more Bai Quinn will make, and on the contrary, he will lose first.

Since that was the case, Bai Quinn accepted it calmly.

Uncle Tony held Bai Quinn and Chris into his arms and mumbled and said what the family should say.

After expressing his emotions, Uncle Tony turned on the TV again, handed a bottle of beer to each of the brothers, and said, "Thanksgiving will always belong to the NFL!"

Family, beer, turkey, rugby, and all four are indispensable on Thanksgiving.

The game on TV has entered the second half. The three of them took advantage of the break to talk about things, but in the end they delayed watching the game.

The Detroit Lions tied the Pittsburgh Steelers. Obviously, neither of them was the favorite of Uncle Tony. Even if he missed a game, he didn't care.

Bai Quinn was not very interested in football. He remembered Uncle Tony's words just now and pretended to be careless and asked: "Uncle Tony, you don't seem to like Jews very much..."

"How could it be? I am actually a Jew, but he became my military advisor. As long as people make the best use of it, the Jews can also become good people..."

This is so politically correct!

Chris hurriedly said, "Uncle Tony, I will not mention Jews at home in the future. The family will soon add a Jewish member."

After saying that, he nodded to the yard and reminded Sarah of her existence.

Bai Quinn said: "Sarah doesn't care much about her Jewish identity. You should know that she is actually a Catholic. She just wants to develop in Hollywood and always emphasizes her Jewish descent.

Do you know? She told me a Jewish joke a few days ago."

"Oh? Let's hear what it means..."

"That's right, the commander Arkansas found that in Israel's office, in addition to the red telephone that directly leads to the White House, there is also a blue telephone.

So Arkansas asked Netanyahu, ‘What is your blue phone for?’

Netanyahu replied: ‘This is God’s special line, Lord Commander, I can speak directly with God with it.’

Arkansas was both envious and jealous, so he asked the intelligence agency to install a God-dedicated line for him, no matter how much it costs!

Two weeks later, CIA really installed a God-dedicated line for Arkansas, and it could really be opened!

The cost is too high, and a call costs two million US dollars per minute.

Arkansas, who realized the problem, called Netanyahu in a rage: 'How can you afford such a phone call? Even the United States, which gives you financial aid, can't afford it! Is that what you spend our money?'

Netanyahu replied calmly: ‘No, no, Your Excellency the Great Commander, this is true. For us Jews, calling God is considered a local call!’”

"Haha, Arkansas should bring a special line for the Shepherd God Pan!" Chris smiled.

In Roman mythology, Pan, the shepherd god who was in heat anytime and anywhere, often needed the sheep around him to solve his needs.

After Thanksgiving, on December 11, 1998, the House Judicial Committee agreed to submit the three articles of impeachment to the whole House for consideration.

On the 16th, without declaring war, the US military launched Operation Desert Fox and launched an air strike on Iraq's military targets.

Secretary of State Albright explained that the US military's move was to weaken Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and was by no means delayed in impeachment.

On the 18th, the day before the impeachment case, the latest episode of "Variety Show" revealed that the new film "King of War" invested by the famous Hollywood actor Bai Quinn used more than 100 Soviet-made tanks during the filming, and these tanks were to be sold to Iraqi Saddam.

"Variety Show" also pointed out that Bai Quinn, who had just gotten engaged, publicly supported the commander's cheating behavior in an interview program!

That night, dozens of journalists gathered outside the Beverly Hills house, ready to surround the double-star, the new billionaire.

"Fxxk! I'm a victim of the donkey party's distracting sight again!"

Bai Quinn saw through the gap in the curtains. A long spear and cannon had been set up outside the door, and even people could be vaguely seen on the trees beside the road!

"After the impeachment case tomorrow, you will be safe. QB, don't be nervous, it's only one day!"

Samantha, who rushed over, comforted her.

This premise is that the commander must be able to survive the impeachment case, otherwise he will follow the commander Arkansas to be buried with him and become the target of public criticism!

After Cha Ribai's analysis, Bai Quinn also believed that the commander was very likely to pass the test successfully.

"It must be Harvey!" Bai Quinn smelled the scent of conspiracy from the air!

"There were overwhelming articles that claimed that "Save Private Ryan" was valuable only for the first 15 minutes. Then someone attacked "Beautiful Life" using jokes to express the Holocaust that Jews experienced was disrespectful to history. Now I have started attacking me again, and I can kill two birds with one stone!

Both movies are competing with his junk "Shapes Love History" awards season!

I am too familiar with Harvey's methods, and he can't help but smear his opponent!"
