Currently, "Looking for Qin" is about a month away from finalization, so it is progressing steadily as planned.
On this day, the production of "Legend of Heaven and Earth", which was launched on February 14th, was officially completed.
In addition, Xiangjiang's "Infernal Affairs 2 and 3" and "Get in the Car and Let's Go" have been completed, and with this "Fish Mermaid", Jiang Yan's progress value has increased again.
The four films contributed 2%, 2%, 0.3% and 0.2% to Jiang Yan respectively according to the script entry time, plus the 0.6% from the previous "Lord of the Rings 1" and the fragments collected in these days, the total progress is also
At 26.42%, it is not far from the possible new node of 30%.
However, the new progress brought by the film and television drama is not the second good news mentioned by Jiang Yan.
On May 16, good news came from the United States, which was about theater chains.
After Lao Fan wandered around the United States for a while, he selected three small theater chains that he could acquire.
In total, there are 156 theaters and more than 700 screens.
Lao Fan called Jiang Yan to give an accurate answer as to which company he wanted to acquire, or all of them.
Regarding the acquisition of theater chains, Jiang Yan and Lao Fan's initial strategy was to focus on gaining experience.
The old American theater industry is developed, and the corresponding talents are far more than domestic ones.
To operate theater chains in China, it is one thing to find people who work in those theaters in China, and it is another thing to train them to be able to keep up with international standards.
So the idea of the two people at the beginning was very simple. The acquisition target does not need to be too big, as long as it can be acquired. This is a good learning opportunity.
The acquisition process can accumulate experience, how to integrate after the acquisition can accumulate a wave of experience, how to operate after the integration, and how to expand, that is another wave of experience.
To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter even if the acquisition fails and exits, it just means practicing, learning experience, and then pouring these experiences into the country. After all, the country will be the focus in the future.
If he really wants to participate in theater competition in the United States, Jiang Yan actually has a better way, which is to invest in Time Warner.
There are two ways to invest in Time Warner, to put it simply, online and offline.
Offline, you can take advantage of this period of time when Warner executives are shaken and acquire their shares. In this case, the price will be a little higher than the market price, but after all, it is Warner, one of the top eight companies in Hollywood. It is unknown how difficult it would be for an outsider to rashly acquire the shares.
In addition, the current development situation of the old American film industry is good, and it is very possible for Warner's stock price to rise sharply. Therefore, although this method may seem to be a loss at first, it will definitely make money in the long run.
However, Jiang Yan knows that despite the current high stock price of Time Warner, as one of the top eight companies, it has strong future potential. But Jiang Yan knows that Time Warner will encounter a crisis this year, and will later encounter a new boss who is incapable of doing anything, so
The stock price will plummet in the next one or two years.
Therefore, "Small Target" is already shorting Time Warner stock, waiting until the time reaches the right position, and then using the money earned to buy backhand, the purchase amount at that time can be directly raised.
And as a shareholder of one of the eight largest companies, even if the shares are not large, it is a real ticket to enter the old American market.
This is far more practical than trying to enter the United States as an overseas star.
After all, living in the United States is all about strength.
"I, the pop star!" and "I, the Warner shareholder."
These are two completely different concepts.
The most important thing about becoming a shareholder of Warner is naturally the help it brings in film and television dramas.
Acquiring a theater chain will give you a certain say in movies, but if the theater chain is not big, you will not have a say. And even if the theater chain is big, it will not be involved in TV series.
Jiang Yan has almost restored "Prison Break", but this thing can't be shown in movie theaters.
So having said that, Jiang Yan asked Lao Fan:
"How much does it cost?"
In the afternoon, Jiang Yan held a management meeting of Xingchenhai.
The content of the meeting is very simple.
Stars and Sea will buy three theater chains in Laos and the United States for a total price of about US$86 million.
Who among you is going to take care of this?
So that afternoon, the entire sea of stars was boiling.
Compared with achieving excellent results in movies and TV series, the company's acquisition of old American movie theaters is obviously a better way to demonstrate its strength and make employees excited.
At the same time, this is also a very good opportunity for promotion.
So a group of Xingchenhai employees who were like wolves and tigers submitted the registration forms one after another that night.
Jiang Yan is happy to see the results come to fruition. It’s important to work hard. If everyone lies flat, the future of Xingchen Sea will really make people worry.
Things in the theater chain continued, and not long after, the next good news came from the United States.
"Kill Bill" has finally been released.
Quentin called and announced that "Kill Bill" is scheduled to be released on June 28th, which is the meat-grinder-like summer season. Promotion will officially begin in a few days.
Quentin is very confident about this schedule, because although there are many movies scheduled for this time period, including some big-budget ones, most of them are spy war themes.
Why, because this year's "Mission: Impossible 2" will be released soon on May 24. After the success of the first film, many follow-up films appeared.
Old American movies also talk about following trends. After all, it’s all business.
The action genre "Mission: Impossible 2" was a big hit, so everyone wanted to drink soup along with it, so when the filming of "Mission: Impossible 2" started, many companies followed suit.
Now "Mission: Impossible 2" is scheduled to be released at the end of May, so many movies are scheduled around this time. Of course, you can survive next to an aircraft carrier, but you can easily be killed if you get close, so the entire month of May and June
and July, basically a bunch of espionage fish and shrimps scattered all over the place.
In addition to espionage themes, there are also family-friendly, comedic and various themes. After all, it is summer time. However, there are very few cool action movies with cult themes like "Kill Bill". In other words, almost only "Kill Bill" is available.
"Dead Bill" this one.
So Quentin and Warner Henry both felt that it was right to choose this day.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jiang Yan has no objection, 628 is a very auspicious number, and to be honest, as long as this film is operated by Warner, and with Quentin as the director,
Now, its box office is basically the same.
Don't look at Quentin, who always talks about movies, like a nerd, and behaves like a master in front of Jiang Yan, but he is really easy to get around in the United States, this guy is so cute.
In addition, he has already seen the finished film of "Kill Bill", which is similar to the original time and space, and the action is more violent and more graceful, so Jiang Yan is basically not worried about the prospects of this film.
In addition, my own movie is about to be released, so this can be used in my own theater.
This wave is very timely.
Movies, TV series, theaters, and technology are advancing steadily.
In terms of music, Jiang Yan has also made new progress.
First of all, the hardcover version of "Jiang Yan's Epic Trilogy" was officially released globally after a six-month deadline.
Jiang Yan specially signed a 1,500-point autographed version, and it was said that it was sold out immediately. Then the next day, he heard that someone was selling it, and the price had been raised more than ten times. Obviously, this was a scalper.
Jiang Yan ignored it, since he couldn't control it anyway.
The second thing was that Jay called. His album will be released on July 15th, and he will start promoting it in a few days. He was a little nervous, and as a good friend, how could he ignore it, so Jiang Yan
Invite him to come to the sea of stars as a guest.
Wu Jing got a dozen animals from acquaintances a few days ago. Wu Jing said these were to bring happiness to Jiang Yan, but it turned out that the happy ones were all the little girls from Xingchenhai.
Because there are more than ten animals, all of which are kittens, puppies, ducks, rabbits, and ponies, the mountain behind the sea of stars has become an animal kindergarten.
There is a saying, with these cute animals around, everyone will indeed feel much better, so it is just right for Jay.
However, Jaylen was not the first to receive cute animal treatment. There was another person before him, and that was Mrs. Lizi.
After half a year of hard work, the rainy season is approaching, and Lizi's album "Rain" is about to be officially released.
