"When a business empire is about to rise, they will never tolerate any threats. Anyone who may affect their existence will be their enemy. If you show your fangs a little, they will uproot you.
!”
"The only one you can rely on is our Mindeli Pictures. What I said is correct, right?!"
Zhuang Ling shrugged regretfully.
"It seems so."
"So, show your true sincerity. I mean, other than the script, other sincerity."
Zhuang Ling seemed hesitant, but in fact, she had already communicated some details with Xia Yu. She said:
"If one of the dual series of "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games" fails to reach 500 million U.S. dollars at the box office, it will not be able to capture at least 2% of the global box office share for Mindli Pictures that year... We bankrupt sisters,
How about you be willing to hand over 51% of your equity to Mindelli Pictures?"
Fifty-one percent of the shares... This means that as long as Mindley Pictures is willing, the entire bankrupt sister film and television company will directly change hands and become a subsidiary of Mindley Pictures.
Old Chet shook his head, pointed at Xia Yu and the script, and said with a smile:
"Xia Yu and Stephanie Xia, both of them have to sign a ten-year management contract with your bankrupt sister film and television company."
"You know, a shell company, it means nothing to us!"
High risks and rewards can never be truly proportional. Sometimes, you can get the highest wealth you can achieve in your life, but most of the time, you lose everything, or even get heavily in debt.
.
However, it is absolutely impossible to gain huge profits without taking any risks unless you have absolute say.
Zhuang Ling looked at Xia Yu, who smiled slightly and said, "Okay!"
"And what our bankrupt sisters need is the support of the staff of the film and television department of Mindeli Pictures and the full support of Mindeli Global Cinemas. I think - it shouldn't be too much, right?"
Old Chet smiled slightly. Although he was eighty years old, he was still strong and strong, exuding a strong charm of an elderly man, and stretched out his hand.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate - the new film and television empire of Hollywood in the future, our partner, the bankrupt sister empire!"
Old Chet probably didn't expect that the "Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Empire", which he had already highly regarded, would only launch the first round of impact. When Minderee Pictures finally became the number one film company in Hollywood, the company he once looked down upon would
"Bankrupt Sisters" has become a real entertainment empire that not only the Hanks family, but even the whole world can only look up to!
This is the first meeting and alliance between the global film and television empire and Hollywood's number one film and television empire.
This is all a story for later.
…
Since the establishment of Bankrupt Sisters, the so-called dinner parties have been either in the canteen downstairs of the company or in the yard.
I am not very busy, there are too many threads to deal with, but this time no matter how busy I am, I still have to find time to have a big meal.
Celebrate.
Zhuang Ling directly hired a top-notch restaurant, and everyone in the company gathered for a dinner.
This time, not only "Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company", but also Mindli Pictures also arranged for someone to come over, Kevin Weir.
He is currently the "lead person" of the two film companies and is responsible for the coordination between the two parties.
Yes, the contract between Mindli Pictures and Bankrupt Sisters Pictures was officially signed one day ago.
Old Chet was also a fastidious person. At first, he asked the "partners" of Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television to negotiate with Mindelli Film and Television.
When the contract was formally negotiated and signed, the bankrupt sisters were arranged.
Show it, fairness?
The content of the signed cooperation, including but not limited to the content mentioned before, was jointly signed by important senior executives of both parties and legal counsel of both parties. After thorough discussions and confirmation that both parties had not dug a hole for themselves, the contract was officially signed.
In the next ten years, the Bankrupt Sisters film and television scripts will be jointly produced by both parties, and both parties will share the investment funds. As for global theaters, the "Twilight" and "Hunger Games" series will be promoted with all their strength, while the rest will have to be further defined according to the level.
Arrange films according to level.
Amanda personally confirmed the ten-year contracts between "Xia Yu", "Stephanie Xia" and the bankrupt sisters. And when she knew that these two very outstanding talents in different fields were the same person.
This "old witch" who is famous for being almost emotionless at Mindli Pictures felt as if she had been hit by a tsunami, with a "bang" of seawater rushing towards her, leaving her in a daze of disbelief.
But when he turned around and looked at Xia Yu, his gaze was even hotter than Gu Zhao's gaze at the time - a top screenwriter is of course very important. But even if this screenwriter has signed a contract with the bankrupt sisters for ten years, once "Twilight"
The "Hunger Games" series has exploded at the box office, and the screenwriter has become popular. What awaits Bankrupt Sisters and Mindelli Pictures is to guard against poaching by major film and television companies.
To put it bluntly.
As long as the price given is of sufficient value, that amount of liquidated damages is "a drop in the bucket" for a Hollywood film and television empire!
But if this top screenwriter and the bankrupt sister who wants to cooperate are "inseparable" and the same person, this kind of trouble will almost disappear. In addition, Victoria Pictures rejected Xia Yu, and Mindli
It was the help given to the bankrupt sisters in the most difficult initial stage of starting a business - this couldn't help but make Amanda feel full of joy in her heart!
"President Amanda can tell Mr. Hanks about this matter, but I hope it can be kept secret from other people."
Xia Yu's words dispelled Amanda's last doubts about the bankrupt sisters.
Not letting others know, doesn’t this mean that the bankrupt sisters are sincerely determined to cooperate with Mindelli Pictures?
“Keeping our partners’ confidentiality is what we should do!”
Turning around, when Amanda told Old Chet about this, Old Chet's reaction was no more calm than Amanda's.
He was playing baseball at the time, and with a "pop", the baseball was knocked crooked.
Turning to look at Amanda in disbelief, "Are you kidding?"
Amanda handed over the contract at the right time. When she saw the name on the contract and the signing of various copyrights for the script, it was indeed "Xia Yu".
Old Chet was doubtful at first, but soon he said, "Xia, you're not an idiot!"
Because if there really is another "Stephanie Xia" who can come up with the script, the original manuscript.
So if this matter comes out, the bankrupt sisters and Xia Yu will be doomed in the European and American circles.
"This is unbelievable!"
But old Chet had the same idea as Amanda, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Now, those people at Victoria Pictures are going to have a headache!"
The close cooperation between Bankrupt Sisters and Mindli Pictures has not yet been revealed, but it has caused a sensation among the top management of both companies.
The board of directors of Mindli Pictures exploded. First of all, Bruce Hanks was dismissed as the president of Mindli Pictures, and he had 30% of the shares that he could only fully inherit after the death of old Chet.
, was also cancelled.
Moreover, it was transferred to the new president, Amanda Thurman, which is simply a shocking change in Mindli.
In addition to the board of directors, there were many Parasite employees who were originally submitted for impeachment by Amanda. After he took office, he immediately made drastic changes. The entire middle and senior management of Mindli Pictures underwent a major shake-up, laying off more than half of the middle and high-level personnel.
At the same time, the cooperation with the bankrupt sister film and television company also shocked many directors on the board of directors.
They didn't understand, and even wanted to join forces to fight back, but Old Chet said just one sentence - "If you don't agree, throw out the shares in your hands, and I, Old Chet, will take them all back, and all of you, get out!"
The current predicament faced by Mindli Pictures makes Old Chet less patient to fight with the "miscellaneous" directors below who only know about comfort and enjoyment. Moreover, he owns more than 51% of the shares, so he has no fear.
Any doubts.
The bankrupt sister film and television companies "Twilight Series" and "The Hunger Games Series" received the S-level rating plan from all review members of the new review department within two days, becoming two film and television companies that will fully cooperate in the next five years.
project.
Although Mindli Pictures is "dwindling", the directors, screenwriters, and actors are getting more and more stretched, but the backup members of each crew are "huge", and compared to the bankrupt sister film and television companies, the simple green screen photography
There are three professional studios in Mindli Pictures. The level of professionalism fully meets the indoor green screen shooting requirements of the two series of movies "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games".
When forming the crew, Xia Yu designated James' small team.
Although this small team can make do with TV dramas, the film team is very difficult and needs to be expanded, but at least Arithmetic Man? And the cast can also be screened by Mindli Pictures.
Although it is not as good as Alexander Pictures, there are many outstanding actors and actresses that cannot be screened by the bankrupt sisters.
And when James received a call from the new president, Amanda, saying that after he finished filming this TV series, he would be assigned to work at the bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company. He would definitely be from Mindli Films, and his salary would be the same as Mindli Films.
Ye Fa - But before Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company fired him, he was completely under the direction of Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company.
Moreover, his salary has increased, from the salary of a second-tier TV drama director to that of a second-tier TV director.
They all seem to be in the second tier, but the salary increase may be at least three times higher. Who can refuse?
After James was shocked, he patted his chest and said, "I will do my best, don't worry."
Turning around, James learned that due to the bankruptcy of Sisters Film and Television, the entire Mindli Pictures had undergone a major overhaul. Even the top leader, Bruce Hanks, had been deposed. From being the king of a top film and television empire, he was kicked out of the empire and was reportedly grounded.
.
And the old witch of Mindelli Pictures, Amanda, whom he recommended, became the new president.
Only then did he learn that Amanda, who was half black, was actually Chet's granddaughter.
This is simply a real-life drama!
The Bankrupt Sisters and Mindli Films are about to co-produce two series of films, with a total of nine films. He has been named in both of them and wants to work together. Although he is at most an assistant director and casting director, he has made the leap from the TV drama industry to
Entering the film industry - in Hollywood, this is basically a different kind of class jump.
We have crossed over, and from now on, you can make TV series or movies if you want.
However, if you are just an ordinary TV drama director, unless you invest your own money, you may not be able to make a movie in your lifetime.
James turned around and called Ashley.
"What conditions did you give old Chet? That actually allowed you to cooperate?"
Ashley was also a little confused, because she had just learned that the Broke Sisters had officially formed an alliance with Mindelli Pictures.
"Man, although I am a small shareholder of the bankrupt sisters, you know, I know nothing about this aspect. I only knew that the negotiation was successful. This is completely a miracle of cooperation created by Zhuang and Xia, their senior sisters!"
The shock in Ashley's heart also didn't subside. Before James called her, she didn't know how to vent her excitement because she was rejected by Victoria Pictures.
The two of them talked on the phone for more than an hour, and finally they both calmed down and were very happy.
James said: "All in all, from now on, we are partners, and this is something to be happy about, isn't it?"
"nonono!"
Ashley shook her head, "Not a partner - I, Ashley Tisdale, am your boss from now on, and you are my employee. Please keep this in mind!"
James is speechless.
But for Ashley, his childhood friend, he was very doting on her. She was an "older girl" like his own sister. He smiled helplessly, "OK, whatever you say is what it is."
Finally, Zhuang Ling took the call.
"I hope your shooting mission will go smoothly. When you come back next month, we will officially start preparations for the first movie. And - remember to take good care of your logistics team leader. When you officially join the Bankrupt Sisters, she
He is your leader."
Soon came the artists of Bankrupt Sisters.
They originally thought that the top management of Bankrupt Sisters simply met with Gu Zhao and might cooperate with Victoria Pictures, but it was only possible and they didn't hold out much hope. But when the company announced that Bankrupt Sisters had officially signed a contract with Mindli.
Partners.
They were all "blinded!"
Totally unbelievable.
"I just wanted a piece of cake, but not only did I get milk, but I also got a top-notch Western table in front of me?"
Exceeded expectations.
They were all very happy.
"It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, I insisted on signing the contract. If I left, I think I would regret it and jump off the building!"
It's just that this news cannot be disclosed to the outside world yet, otherwise, those "old guys" who left the bankrupt sisters will probably hit the wall with regrets.
How do you say it in Chinese proverb?
I picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon!
Daniel really jumped. He jumped down from the second floor excitedly, and then jumped upstairs——
Zhuang Ling handed him a receipt directly, smiled encouragingly and said:
"You dance very well. Keep dancing. The first time you dance, you will be deducted three hundred dollars, the second time six hundred dollars, the third time one thousand two dollars, and so on!"
Daniel is a very naughty kid, but he is also easy to handle, "money!"
As long as money is mentioned, nothing will go wrong.
