"They don't seem to be as easy to deal with as they thought." There was a newspaper on David's desk, the New York Times, and there was a section about Wanda Group's acquisition.
"Yes, according to our information, they are still contacting car theater chains. If they succeed, the number of seats will become the largest theater chain in the United States." Jimmy looked at Ivor opposite and said, his expression expressionless.
Enraged, Ivor spread his hands and yelled at Jimmy: "Hey, so what? This is Hollywood."
He looked like an angry chimpanzee, and then said to David: "If they bring in the alliance, we can refuse to cooperate with them."
"Yes, then there will be many other companies to cooperate with them." Jimmy curled his lips and said disdainfully, that is the theater chain, and there are too many independent film companies seeking distribution. If they exclude Wanda, then other companies will naturally squeeze in.
Come on, there are too many companies in Hollywood that want to overthrow the dominance of these companies.
Ivor also knew that he had a bad idea, but he still refused to accept it and said: "Then we can compete with them. We have already filmed half of "Mutants", or we can let Warner's DM Universe take action."
"Okay, this time it's not anyone's fault, but we have to do this." David stopped the quarrel between the two. After the two stopped, his blue eyes stared at the two and said: "Huaxia
It is already the world's largest box office, but our movie box office share is getting smaller every year. This is a dangerous signal. In the past, actors and directors from all over the world were proud to join Hollywood, and this situation will not be broken.
"
"If the influence of Chinese-language films exceeds that of Hollywood, do you know what will happen?" David stared at the two of them, Jimmy remained silent, and Ivor said, "Of course I know that outstanding actors and directors from all over the world will go to China.
, or add Chinese elements to the movie."
David nodded and said: "This situation started to trend in the past few years, and now it is becoming more and more obvious."
"We can't lose either."
His solemn words set the tone for the conversation, and a few days later, Wanda received a notice from the U.S. Department of Justice.
They cannot continue to acquire car theater chains.
"Why?"
When Li Lan passed the news to Lin Juan, Lin Juan asked in confusion, "Isn't this so damn shameless? What kind of country is this? What will happen to the country when it comes to private business practices?"
What's going on? Why, when we can win the competition, we say we are democratic and free. When we can't win the competition, we start to act like hooligans and accuse others of unfair competition.
mlgb!
Even the host of an American talk show publicly stated on the show how to maintain world peace?
Then he threw the United States on the map into the trash can.
Some people in their government can't stand their behavior.
"In antitrust law, they said that in order to ensure that there is enough competition in this industry, such as affordable ticket prices and higher-quality movie viewing experience, so as to benefit movie fans." Li Lan said helplessly.
Lin Juan: "..."
Lin Jian had nothing to say about their shamelessness. He asked: "Then do they have any way to deal with it?"
This time, Wanda’s acquisition has attracted the attention of everyone in the industry and some movie fans. Those who like the news like domestic tycoons buying and selling everywhere.
Better to buy the Pentagon.
Well...if they sell it...
"We are still discussing it, but this monopoly law will have a certain proportion. Anyway, Wanda is very determined this time. Mr. Wang has already said that he wants 20% of the global box office to come from Wanda."
Lin Juan: "..."
What else can I say besides being domineering?
"Forget it, you don't have to worry about this. It's the biggest help to us if you make the movie well. By the way, Xiao Juan, how do you plan to arrange the release order of these alliance movies?" Li Lan asked.
"First "Thor 2", then "Monkey King 2". In fact, I recommend that these two movies be released together, because in the timeline they take place on the same day, then "Spider-Man" and "Hulk 2"
", then it doesn't matter." Lin Juan said, obviously, next year will be a year of indiscriminate bombing for the alliance.
"On the same day?" Li Lan was stunned. Are you competing with him in the ring?
emmmm... Given the nature of the alliance, it doesn't seem impossible. If it works well, it will increase the influence of the alliance and become a carnival for alliance fans all over the world.
"Yes, this is the best, but it depends on your arrangements." Lin Juan said cautiously. He was only speaking from the director's point of view, but for business methods, he still had to listen to Li Lan and the others.
"Okay, I got it. I'll discuss it with them. The most important thing now is your alliance." Li Lan said and hung up the phone.
Now everyone is actually aware of what kind of war this is. The rise of any new force will inevitably lead to the backlash of the old forces. It is impossible for Chinese-language movies to compete with Hollywood or even surpass them silently.
.
As for unity in the face of foreign enemies, no nation in the world can compare with the Chinese.
"Copy that." Lin Juan chuckled as he hung up the phone.
Just talking about movies, he is good at it!!
I can shoot you in any kind of poses. For example, this director's alliance is just a show of his skills, even though he was forced.
Oh, the Directors Alliance describes the gathering of great directors with him as the core.
Do something big, be a hero for once, and then get married.
Tsk, the thought of getting married has been filling Lin Jian's mind more and more recently.
Just as he was thinking sweetly, there was a knock on Lin Juan's room door. Lin Juan looked at the time. It was eleven o'clock in the evening. Who would knock on his door at this time?
Lin Juan looked through the peephole and saw that it was Liu Xing. That would be fine. The entertainment industry has a lot of tricks up its sleeves. News about a celebrity's cheating broke out some time ago, so he had to guard against it.
"What's wrong?" Lin Juan opened the door and asked in surprise. At this time, Liu Xing frowned, with an irritated air all over his body, and he was holding a bag of wine.
Is this kid stupid? Come to him for a drink?
However, Liu Xing's first words made Lin Juan give up the idea of driving him out.
He said with red eyes: "Director Lin, I am lovelorn."
Lin Juan froze and said, "Come in."
After Liu Xing came in, he sat directly on the sofa and opened a bottle of wine without saying a word. There were also a few packs of alcoholic peanuts and spicy strips in the bag. Lin Juan glanced at it and felt that this man could still be saved. He could still drink.
I know it’s served with spicy strips.
"Bang." Lin Juan opened a can of beer and asked, "What's going on?"
Liu Xing frowned and looked very irritable: "Women are so annoying. In fact, this didn't start today. We have been arguing for many days..."
In the night, Liu Xing took a sip of wine and told the whole story in detail.
