Originally, Wu Jianye thought he would stay at Xishan Villa these days, but after receiving a call from Liu Jianshe, he still went out.
After several months of discussions, China Film Group finally decided to set up its own cinema chain, and this time Liu Jianshe approached Wu Jianye for this matter.
"Junior brother, now there is no problem with the company, all that's left is the funds!"
The place where Wu Jianye met Liu Jianshe was still Dai Zhen's restaurant. In the private room, Liu Jianshe said straight to the point.
"There is no problem on my side. As long as the procedures are complete, I will transfer the money immediately!" Wu Jianye did not refuse. Being able to participate in the establishment of the China Film Theater chain is very good news for Tangting Culture.
According to previous discussions between Wu Jianye and Liu Jianshe, the two parties were to establish a new joint venture company, in which China Film Group would hold 60% of the shares and Tangting Culture would hold 40%.
In the early stage, the new company invested 100 million, but the capital investment was 60 million from Tangting Culture and 40 million from China Film!
Wu Jianye also approved of this investment and said there was no problem.
Liu Jianshe smiled and said: "All the formalities are easy to handle, but this time we hope to get the support of Fengge Cinema Line during the construction of the new theater..."
From Liu Jianshe's narration, Wu Jianye learned that China Film also hoped to build a new multi-functional screening hall cinema, which was not the simple hall now in China. In other words, all standards were in accordance with the current domestic Fengge Cinema Line.
style.
However, China Film Group has no experience in management or construction of a theater of this style, so we hope to get help from Fengge Cinema Line.
"There is no problem. When the time comes, I will introduce the builder of Fengge Cinema to China Film. China Film will only need to send out supervisors!" Wu Jianye has no objection to this.
Previously, the construction projects of Fengge Cinema, Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group in the Mainland were all undertaken by Dalue Construction, a subsidiary of Yiwang Group.
Now, through the construction of land plazas and major buildings of several major groups in China over the years, Dalue Construction has long been the leading large-scale construction company in the country.
Based in Xiangjiang, the entire Dalue Construction project is now spread throughout Southeast Asia. However, according to Wu Jianye's instructions, Dalue Construction has also established a branch in China and placed its main business in China.
Yiwang Group currently owns several major companies including Standard Chartered Bank, Yuzhi Investment, Qingyao Toys, Yumin Travel, Sanmiao Comics, Shouhua Insurance, Dalue Construction, Xiangjiang Shipping, and Yisu Heavy Industry.
They have already begun to seize the domestic market.
Needless to say, Standard Chartered Bank. With the deregulation of financial controls on Standard Chartered Bank in China, Standard Chartered Bank has relied on its strong financial advantages to expand rapidly in the country. Now all first- and second-tier cities in the country have Standard Chartered Bank branches.
Yu Zhi Investment manages the Yiwang Group's investments in Xiangjiang, and also participates in various investments as the bridgehead of the Yiwang Group in the global financial market. However, the most important business is still based on the global investment in Wu Jianye's memory.
The changes in the financial industry are harvesting all kinds of leeks in the global market. At this time, Yuzhi Investment has long been one of the most famous investment companies in the world.
Although Qingyao Toys is not well-known, it still controls nearly 60% of the toy share in Xiangjiang at this time. This is mainly due to the cooperation between Qingyao Toys and Toy Biz Toys under Phantom Media, and is responsible for Toy Biz Toys in Asia.
All production operations, including the distribution rights to sell various toys under Toy Biz Toys in Asia, as well as the toy copyrights of superheroes under Marvel Studios, etc.
This is equivalent to Qingyao Toys owning the Asian management and production rights for various toys from all Wu Jianye's entertainment companies.
At the same time, Qingyao Toys also has a very large investment, that is, Qingyao Toys is now the largest shareholder of Xie Ruilin Jewelry, one of the four major gold banks in Hong Kong!
This involves the grudges between Qingyao Toys CEO Xie Wanqing and Xie Ruilin Jewelry. There is no need to elaborate too much on the various problems between Wu Jianye and Xie Ruilin Jewelry. When Xie Ruilin Jewelry was launched, Xie Wanqing relied on Yu
He invested huge financial support and used a series of financial skills to acquire most of the shares of Tse Ruilin Jewelry, becoming the largest shareholder of Tse Ruilin Jewelry.
After successfully clearing her mother's name, Xie Wanqing had already become one of the most famous businesswomen in Hong Kong.
The development of Yumin tourism is also rapid. First, they started a visa business with the help of the previous immigration wave in Xiangjiang and made a lot of money. Then, with the rapid development of domestic tourism, they also entered the domestic market. Now they are in the southern and other coastal cities.
The development is also very rapid.
Sanmiao Comics was already the largest comics company in Southeast Asia at this time, but compared with RB's comics industry, there was still a gap.
However, Sanmiao Comics is no longer limited to producing local comics in Xiangjiang. Today, Sanmiao Comics' flagship work is a comic called "Resident Evil". This comic helped Sanmiao Comics successfully enter the European and American markets.
Shouhua Insurance's business is relatively extensive, but more of it is cooperation with Standard Chartered Bank. With the influence of Standard Chartered Bank, it has launched various insurances throughout Southeast Asia. In the rankings of the global insurance industry last year, Shouhua Insurance
Insurance ranks 18th in the world!
At this time, Lifehua Insurance was already discussing with China the possibility of entering the domestic market.
However, this is destined to be a long negotiation process.
The development of Xiangjiang Shipping is slowly developing from the previous transportation business to the manufacturing industry. This is due to the shipyards acquired when the Soviet Union collapsed.
The same is true for Yisu Heavy Industry, but Yisu Heavy Industry is more of a cooperation with domestic heavy industries. The two parties jointly build factories, Yisu Heavy Industry provides money and personnel, and domestic factories provide land and policies. The cooperation between the two parties is now in its honeymoon.
period.
The largest cooperative company of Yisu Heavy Industry in China is actually the Far East Group!
As for Dalue Construction, we have just introduced it. In the past few years, it has basically monopolized all the projects of the Wu Jianye Group.
However, as Real Estate established its own construction company, it was inevitable that a wave of business belonging to Dalue Construction would be divided. However, this was all a matter between Zhou Tao and Yan Wen, and Wu Jianye did not participate in the specific management.
.
Liu Jianshe was very happy to see Wu Jianye so happy. The establishment of the courtyard line of China Film Hall this time is a very important attempt for China Film. There are also various voices inside China Film. If it does not succeed, it will
Cause a series of chain reactions.
This kind of reaction is something Liu Jianshe doesn’t want to see.
"There is one more thing I want to tell you!" Liu Jianshe took a sip of the tea in his cup and said with a serious expression.
"What happened?" Wu Jianye asked.
"China Radio and Television and China Film have already said that China Film will be responsible for introducing Hollywood movies into the country next year!" Liu Jianshe said.
The introduction of Hollywood movies into the country has actually been discussed for a long time, and it seems that a decision has been made now!
Although the previous Hollywood movie "Jurassic Park" directed by Wu Jianye has been released in the mainland, the result was achieved purely by virtue of Wu Jianye's own influence in the country. This time it is different.
Implementing this matter into policy has a different meaning!
Moreover, this policy is also different from another time and space. In another time and space, our country actually only introduced a Hollywood movie "The Fugitive" next year, which received a domestic box office of 25.8 million.
It was not until 1995 that the introduction of Hollywood movies was officially started, with the same six movies, namely "True Lies", "Pop 3", "The Lion King", "Speed", "Bad Boys", and "Forrest Gump"
", the highest box office of these six movies is "True Lies" with a box office of 102 million, and the lowest box office is "Forrest Gump" with a box office of only 19.6 million.
This is why Wu Jianye always says that although so-called art films are highly praised, they may not necessarily achieve high box office when released in China.
The artistic level of the movie "Forrest Gump" is definitely higher than that of "True Lies", but the box office difference between the two sides is nearly ten times!
This kind of film can only achieve high box office in Europe and the United States, and this is due to the cultural differences between the two places.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Then I will have a few movies that I would like to recommend to China Film Group!"
The trend of introducing Hollywood movies into the country is irreversible. In this case, Wu Jianye naturally wants to find a way that best suits his own interests.
In fact, Wu Jianye now has the qualifications to discuss this matter with China Film.
This includes Wu Jianye's personal influence, as well as the relationship between Phantom and the country over the years. In addition, the senior people in the country already know the relationship between Phantom and Wu Jianye, so now Wu Jianye wants to
There is still no problem with the key points policy!
Liu Jianshe smiled and said: "Don't worry, the radio and television side has also announced that next year six Hollywood movies will be introduced into the country, and the quota for four of them can be given to Phantom!"
Although Liu Jianshe didn't know the true relationship between Wu Jianye and Phantom, he also knew that Wu Jianye had always cooperated with Phantom in Hollywood, so as soon as Wu Jianye opened his mouth, Liu Jianshe knew Wu Jianye's plan!
Naturally, Wu Jianye had no objection to being able to get a share of four movies.
"Well, when I go back, I will contact Matthew Murphy from Phantom Pictures and ask him to choose the movie!" Wu Jianye said unceremoniously.
"I won't go into details about the review. I believe you know it in your mind!" Liu Jianshe seemed very relaxed after solving the theater chain's funding problem.
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Don't worry about this!"
.......
After finishing the conversation with Liu Jianshe, Wu Jianye called Matthew Murphy at the Xishan Villa.
The first movie confirmed was actually the movie "The Lion King" which had been released a long time ago.
In another time and space, this movie had a domestic box office of 41.3 million, but now, Wu Jianye is confident that it will definitely exceed this figure. The most important reason is because of the emergence of Fengge Cinema!
Now it is very different from another time and space!
What was then decided was "True Lies", and this movie appeared earlier than another time and space.
However, it was because of this conversation with Liu Jianshe that Wu Jianye remembered the movie "Jedi Men". The star of the movie, Will Smith, had just transitioned from the music industry to a TV actor. He was absolutely outstanding in movies.
He is a new person among new people.
But Wu Jianye knew about Will Smith's future achievements. In the field of commercial films in Hollywood, Will Smith can be regarded as the most successful black actor.
Although when Wu Jianye was reborn, Shi Huang's vision for film projects plummeted due to various reasons, it is undeniable that in the late 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century, Shi Huang was the guarantee of the movie box office.
Classic movies such as the "Bad Boys" series, "Independence Day", "Men in Black" series, "Public Enemy", "The Pursuit of Happiness", "I Am Legend" and so on have established his status in Hollywood.
After thinking about this, Wu Jianye immediately asked Matthew Murphy to contact Will Smith, and then asked Matthew Murphy to go to the Hollywood Writers Guild to ask if there was a script for a story like "Jedi Men" on record, and also inquired in Hollywood.
Is there any screenwriter writing a similar story to this?
At the same time, Matthew Murphy was asked to contact a director named Michael Bay.
Like Shi Wong, Bangbei was also a newcomer in Hollywood at this time, and "Jedi Men" was his first movie!
I believe that these two newcomers will not refuse the olive branch extended to them by Phantom Pictures.
Matthew Murphy naturally implemented Wu Jianye's request immediately. As for why Wu Jianye knew these two people and such a story, he did not inquire. Wu Jianye had used countless successful experiences before.
Tell Matthew Murphy, there is nothing wrong with following Wu Jianye's plan.
And Wu Jianye has also decided that if the "Jedi Men" series has not been written yet, then he will come up with the script for this movie himself. If someone writes it, it will be very simple, just buy it.
Got it!
Sometimes, when you pay attention to something, a lot of divergent thinking will come out. Wu Jianye now thinks of Emperor Shi, of Explosive Shell, of "Jedi Men", and naturally he also thinks of a lot
Regarding the situation of Hollywood filmmakers in China.
Wu Jianye then ordered Matthew Murphy to find Nicolas Cage.
At the end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 21st century, there were the most movies of that Hollywood star released in China, so it must be Nicolas Cage's movie!
This protagonist is very well-known in China, and "Bravely Entering the Island of Death" is his first domestic film!
At the same time, there is another handsome man in Hollywood, Tom Cruise!
His "Mission: Impossible" series is also a long-lasting series.
Although Wu Jianye was very unhappy with the Jewish people in Hollywood before, I believe that with the influence of Phantom Media now, it is enough to make these people give up their unhappiness!
In the film industry, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests!
Even if Tom Cruise is unwilling to sign a film contract with Phantom Pictures, Wu Jianye can definitely find someone else to star in the "Mission: Impossible" series!
Hollywood will never be short of handsome men and beauties!
Whether it is Nicolas Cage or Tom Cruise, they are now famous actors in Hollywood. It is not easy to sign a film contract with them, but this does not mean that Phantom Pictures has no hope. On the contrary, Phantom Pictures still has a lot of hope.
big!
This is the influence of Phantom Pictures in Hollywood now!
