After finishing what he wanted to say, Yi Feiyang nodded to Dures, who was the vice president, and sat down, lighting a cigarette leisurely, unruly, elegant, with smoke curling up, looking a bit like the character in "The Godfather"
Malone Brando.
Vice President Dures coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and then said: "In view of the fact that our company's current liquidity is relatively abundant, and our company's investment plan is relatively chaotic, we will now add a special investment department.
The investment department handles investment projects. This department will be responsible for investigating the business investment environment, as well as investment prospects, investment plans, and investment objectives. After preparing a detailed report, it will report directly to me and Boss Yi without the need for the Ministry of Finance and Planning Department to intervene.
Suggestions for investigation!”
Investment Department?!
It seems like a very powerful department!
Everyone couldn't help but feel their hearts beating. With such a huge power vacuum, if they could appoint themselves as department managers, then they would really be proud of themselves in the company.
But before everyone was overjoyed, Dures said: "We have decided on the new manager of this department. His name is Alex! Okay, Alex, stand up and get to know everyone!"
"Dures pointed to one of them and introduced.
At this point, a plain-looking white young man in the conference room stood up, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and wearing thick glasses, like a young professor in a university.
Alex greeted everyone with a smile. This is a friend Dures met when he was studying in college. According to Dures, this Alex has a good investment vision and is well-informed. Despite his humble appearance,
Known as the “Rising Alexander” in the investment community.
After the greetings were finished, Alex smiled and said to everyone: "Perhaps everyone is still questioning my personal investment ability... Yes, that must be the case, because if it were me. I would be like this too, and I would say in my heart,
Look, this humble guy, what ability does he have and what qualifications does he have to sit in this position?"
Everyone laughed. This Alex seemed to be the humorous type. He would be easy to get along with in the future.
"So, it is necessary for me to show my abilities to everyone here. Yes, I must!"
"Then how are you going to show it, man? Do you want to do a jazz dance live?"
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed again. The whole atmosphere became very harmonious.
After everyone calmed down, Alex put forward his first investment suggestion: "Before joining Fantasy Pictures, I did some research. Our company is currently developing at an extremely fast pace. However, it lacks a deep foundation, that is,
It has been established for too short a time to truly have its own brand like Fox and MGM. For this reason, I have roughly investigated the current perception of Fantasy Pictures in the U.S. market. Oh no, many people have said that about the impression of Fantasy Entertainment.
, our company shoots too few movies! Yes, even if we shoot dozens of movies a year now, it is still few in their eyes! So I think that in the next year, the company’s investment target should be movies
Film source!”
As soon as Alex said these words, many people showed disillusioned expressions, just like the nouveau riche, who got rich quickly but lacked foundation. They had no choice but to buy some oil paintings and did not have any art to decorate themselves.
And "film source" is the irreplaceable heritage of a large company.
As far as Yi Feiyang knows, in the previous life, why did it take Lionsgate Pictures more than ten years to replace other companies and become the new Hollywood giant? To put it bluntly, it still lacks foundation and has to accumulate slowly.
Everyone is a smart person, and after Alex’s prompting, they immediately understood the meaning, but the question immediately came up, where to find the source of the film?!
As if he had read everyone's thoughts, Alex smiled slightly, "Since I can make such suggestions, of course I come prepared..." As he spoke, he glanced at Dures, who recommended him to come in, "
I don’t know if you have heard that MGM...is selling off Kuyuan!"
One sentence was like thunder, shocking everyone
What? MGM, selling the source?!
How is that possible?!
You know, MGM is one of the seven giants in Hollywood and is absolutely powerful. How could a big company like this sell out its resources?
What is its library source?
It's "Ben-Hur"!
It's "Gone with the Wind"!
It's "007"!
If it can acquire its library, any film company will immediately become a new giant!
Everyone started to get excited, "Is it true, man? How could MGM give up its treasure?!" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Alexander smiled slightly, "Of course it is true. This is a piece of news I heard. Of course, this news is not open to the public. Only a very few people know it, and I am one of them."
This is the value of talent. As the boss, Yi Feiyang thought that if Dures had not recommended him vigorously, he might have missed Alex and this incident at MGM.
"Why did MGM sell its own assets? The reason is simple: lack of money! To be precise, lack of liquidity! Yes, since the gambling king Kerkorian took over MGM, this man who only likes gambling has
Guy, he has never regarded running MGM as an important matter, so MGM has basically been losing money on its movies in the past few years... As we all know, our dear gambling king is a stingy guy, and he likes to take money from other people's pockets.
He paid for it, but didn't like others taking a penny out of his pocket. Therefore, he had a good idea, which was to sell one-third of MGM's huge library to raise funds for making movies... using the gambling king himself.
In other words, matters at the gambling table still need to be resolved at the gambling table. In the same way, matters at the film company still need to be resolved within the film company!"
Everyone finally understood the cause and effect of this matter, but no one could have imagined that the gambling king Kerkorian would do this. Only Yi Feiyang knew... this is absolutely true!
In the future, MGM will continue to fall into economic crisis, so that the gambling king has to sell MGM's library to Sony one after another, and Sony takes these films from the library, focusing on the nostalgia strategy, and directly produces them.
Blu-ray disc sales were booming, earning hundreds of millions of dollars from this aspect alone. However, MGM did not get any benefits from it. In the end, MGM declared bankruptcy. The once extremely glorious Lion has since disappeared from Hollywood.
Removed from major film companies.
Although Yi Feiyang did not know the specific history of MGM's selling of movie sources, he still knew that MGM was currently in a period of decline. Likewise, he also knew that all companies that purchased MGM's movie sources in the future would rely on this to make money.
If you have made a fortune, let’s not talk about the sales of Blu-ray discs, but only talk about future Internet downloads. Whenever you download it once, you can get a certain fee. This is the endless gold mine!
The most important thing is that Yi Feiyang deeply understands that the lack of film sources and lack of background are the biggest weaknesses of Fantasy Entertainment. It is like playing a game to defeat monsters and upgrade. If you don’t accumulate some experience points, it is simply impossible.
Destroy the BOSS.
If Alex really says that he can get one-third of MGM's library resources, then there is no doubt that Fantasy Entertainment will make rapid progress and become a large company surpassing Lionsgate and Dimensions Pictures!
Trying to join the ranks of Hollywood giants is Yi Feiyang's dream, and controlling Hollywood is Yi Feiyang's ultimate goal.
"Alex, do you have any plans to acquire MGM film sources?" Yi Feiyang asked after thinking about it.
"Of course, my dear boss, in fact, before attending this meeting, I had already contacted people from MGM."
"Oh, really?" Yi Feiyang was overjoyed. He didn't expect Alex to be so flawless in his work.
"What did they say?"
"In a word, wait for the price!"
"...?"
"Although not many people know that MGM sold Kuyuan, it still aroused the interest of many companies in Hollywood, such as Sony, Lions Gate, Dimensions, and the Shinkansen Four, and we are only ranked fifth.
…”
"The competition is fierce!" others exclaimed.
"Yes, none of these companies will do this easily."
"Especially Lionsgate, they probably have the same thoughts as us."
"Also, Lions Gate has a very good relationship with us. Don't let this incident cause any estrangement..."
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk!
Yi Feiyang rapped the table with his finger bones. When everyone had finished talking, the rapping stopped suddenly.
"Friendship is friendship, and business is business. I think everyone knows this. So you don't have to mind our relationship with Lionsgate. We must get MGM's library sources. Therefore, everyone is ready for a big battle.
Bar!"
"Even so, it is probably very difficult. If nothing else, if MGM is waiting for a price, then we will probably go shopping with Sony and Lionsgate, and the gains will outweigh the losses."
"Yes, it's like everyone is bidding together, and only MGM will benefit."
"It's best to think of a way and spend the least amount of money to get it done at once!"
"God, go ahead and dream, there is no such thing as a good thing!"
…
"No, maybe, we can!" Yi Feiyang said suddenly.
"Oh, why?" Everyone couldn't help but look at Yi Feiyang, even Alex who made the suggestion was curious.
Yi Feiyang raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a strange smile, "The secret must not be leaked!"
"Oh, boss, just tell us!"
“It’s so appetizing!”
"OH SHIT!"
…
In the midst of extreme curiosity, Yi Feiyang announced the adjournment of the meeting. Everyone had nowhere to vent their doubts and had no choice but to devote themselves to new work. As for Yi Feiyang himself, he picked up the phone.
If you remember correctly, Kerkorian, the boss behind MGM, is a supporter of the Democratic Party, and Clinton and Hillary happen to be the president and first lady of the Democratic Party...
Yi Feiyang, who has never planned to use the back door, will make an exception this time.
