Chapter 263 Chasing Dreams in the Showbiz: The Patriarch's Father Is Actually Me

As soon as these words were uttered, except for Esami Mark, the "least qualified" person, everyone else in the field looked different for a while.

After all, several of the people who came were from the film industry.

How could they not pay attention to DVDs?No discussion?

Now, it seems that many film companies are not interested in cooperating with Sony, Philips and the Huaguo company that have already produced DVD players.

Because of them, the discs used adopt the DVD+RW standard, which is not conducive to preventing piracy.

Unexpectedly, this mysterious oriental guest was actually the boss of that Huaguo company.

His accent did not appear to be stagnant or restrained, unlike some Chinese people they had dealt with before.

Seeing that the scene was quiet for a while, Mr. White said: "Everyone is very familiar with Jason. In addition to working at PY Capital, he is also the CEO of Scooper. Mr. Song, now the DVD decoding chips that can be commercially supplied are all Is it from Skoop? This time, is there still preparations for Skoop's listing?"

White is not a state legislator from California, but a senator in Congress.

Among the people who came, there were naturally many who had a good relationship with him.They knew a very important piece of information: the son of Senator White held some shares in the company of Skopper.

Hearing Mr. White's praise, Song Yang toasted, and then said: "It's not just the listing. This time, there are many opportunities for cooperation. You don't know me. In the East, I also set up my own film company. In addition , I am also a well-known singer in China. Mr. Qiao Wei, for our Buddy MEING brand, I have created a theme song for the European and American markets. I wonder if I have the honor to ask you to perform it live?"

As he uttered every sentence, not only everyone in the room, but even Liv Tyler looked at him in amazement.

singer?

At this time, Song Yang had already taken out the score that had been prepared and walked over.

For Bon Jovi, it also came as a surprise.

They didn't expect that the other party had paid such a high price to ask themselves to wait for someone to come over to perform a new song live.

Are you not afraid of going wrong?Or do you want to test their band?

They are momentarily annoyed to have a famous band come live and perform a new song written by a stranger.

"Do you need to prepare for a while?" Jason added from the side because he was afraid that these music players would be too "personal".

"……certainly."

...Forget it, people really give more.

It's just that I haven't even seen the melody, so how could I start playing directly?
Seeing that the oriental man smiled and turned his head to continue talking, Bon Jovi frowned and began to read the score.

The rest of the band joined in.

"What do Chinese people know..." Torres, the drummer, just muttered a few words softly. After glancing at the notes in the first row above, his voice stopped, and his mouth was slightly opened.

The title of the song is "it's my life", the prelude... feels very exciting...

……

"...Mr. Bruckheimer, of course I know the concerns of several big film companies." At this time, Song Yang had already chatted with Jerry Bruckheimer, "However, with the experience of video tapes, Hollywood no longer has to be like Three or 40 years ago, TV was regarded as the enemy, right? The cost of piracy of CDs has indeed been reduced, but, Mr. White, the states will also follow suit in improving the laws of intellectual property protection?"

"Of course, technology, technology, technology... There is always new technology, and change always keeps us from stopping."

Bruckheimer's own production company is not a big factory, but this matter is also related to his interests, so he sighed: "Of course, technological progress is unstoppable. But I heard that the DVD-RW format is important in preventing piracy. Even more advantageous, since Mr. Song has also set up a film company, why didn't he consider this technical direction?"

"Because that direction is doomed to fail." Song Yang immediately said involuntarily.

"...Why?" Bruckheimer asked directly.

"Jeff." Song Yang looked at Bezos with a "friendly" smile on the contrary, "You are a star in the Internet industry, what do you think?"

Jeff Bezos was a little surprised, but then immediately said: "I agree with Song's judgment. The reason is that optical discs are not only used on DVD players, but also on computers. Optical drives are standard configurations of computers. The popularization and improvement of the interface, and now the software is getting bigger and bigger, so the computer’s optical drive will be quickly updated to a DVD drive. And the optical drive that needs to be used on the computer must meet one condition: the disc can be rewritten.”

Song Yang looked at Bruckheimer with a smile: "That's the reason. Of course, DVD-RW is more in line with the interests of film companies, but consumers don't want to watch the discs they bought or rented only on DVD players."

Bruckheimer didn't understand: "Mr. Song thinks they will use the computer to play discs to watch movies? Then the meaning of the DVD player..."

"Of course there are bigger screens and better audio. However, the important thing is compatibility, and there are also cost considerations. At least, as far as manufacturers of optical discs, chips, and cores are concerned, producing two products with different standards, compared to The marginal cost of producing only one standard product is much lower. As for the film industry, it has to succumb to this trend.” Song Yang concluded, “So I choose DVD+RW and embrace change.”

Bruckheimer was thoughtful.

In the film industry, he is known for his production cost and budget control.

For this reason, he had quarreled with that guy Michael Bay more than once.

How hot computers are now, of course they know it in the United States.

Facing the new medium of DVD discs, haven't people in Hollywood considered the impact of computers?
In fact, Hollywood is like Xiangdao. After DVD players replaced VCRs, and after computers also had DVD drives and even had recording functions, they always complained about how many billions of dollars they lost every year.

This kind of thing is beyond their control.

The United States has a powerful force like Hollywood capital, and it has more laws and strengths to combat piracy, but it is not immune.

"However, Mr. Bruckheimer, I don't mind cooperating with the project you just mentioned." Song Yang glanced at Liv Tyler beside him, "Is the project's budget that big?"

"That guy Michael can do a good job!" He secretly cursed Michael Bay, who had already helped Bruckheimer make a lot of money, but that damn genius raised his salary a lot, and Bruckheimer had to rely on him.

"Is it an unprecedented disaster movie?" Song Yang said to Jason, "I'm here this time. I want to set up a movie investment company within the framework of PY Capital to support the development of the DVD business. Why don't we start cooperation with this project?" .Mr. Bruckheimer, as the first attempt in the United States, you can't bet too much. $1000 million, I hope you can thank you for helping me make money when the movie is released next year."

Bruckheimer immediately threw his worries about the DVD into the sky!
Last year, after "Into the Deadly Island" earned more than 3 million US dollars worldwide, another old friend who had cooperated for many years was gone.For the new project planned by Bruckheimer, because of the theme and Michael Bay's appeal, the budget directly reached more than 1 million US dollars.

In this case, it would be too risky for Bruckheimer Films to undertake it alone.

It's not that he really can't afford money, but he hopes to spread the risk.

And it's best to be someone who only pays money and doesn't care about other things.

1000 million US dollars, and it is for newcomers from other industries who have just entered this field. This kind of money is the best.

Liv Tyler couldn't help being shocked when he heard him talking and laughing that he had confirmed the investment of 1000 million US dollars with a well-known Hollywood ace producer.

Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz, who "accompany" Jason and Philip next to them, are also anxious.

Seeing their expressions, Bruckheimer asked Song Yang with a smile: "Mr. Song, are you already preparing actors for the new company that is preparing? However, I can only promise you the opportunity to audition."

"Thank you very much." Song Yang replied with a smile, "What I plan to set up is just a film investment company, but I don't plan to sign actors. However, this time I have to do one more thing: choose an American spokesperson for our DVD player , shooting commercials. Mr. Bruckheimer, do you have any commercial directors to recommend?"

"A commercial director?" Bruckheimer's eyes lit up after thinking for a while, "Michael first started shooting commercials."

"Really?" Song Yang didn't explore the history of Michael Bay's family back then, he asked after thinking about it, "Although I haven't read the script yet, but adding some DVD players to the movie It shouldn’t affect the plot, right? If so, we can talk about a comprehensive cooperation in this matter. In addition to joint production, there is also brand cooperation.”

Bruckheimer's eyes brightened: "Mr. Song, tomorrow, can I invite you to my company for a detailed talk?"

"of course."

A top-level project with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, a commercial endorsement cooperation of a new brand that spends a lot of money, and a young and mysterious oriental rich man who talks and laughs.

Liv Tyler was heartbroken.

Seeing Bruckheimer go away for a while, before she could say anything, she saw a new guest coming.

"Mr. Mark." Song Yang smiled and shook hands with him, "Before I came to the United States, I just met Chairman Liang of Ago Electronics."

"really?"

Now Mark is completely convinced that he is really "the one who must come to the dinner party", but when he was standing aside, he vaguely heard a film project with an investment of 1000 million US dollars and a budget of over [-] million US dollars, even Brooke, who is famous in Hollywood Is Haimo less important than himself?

Congressman White, an Internet upstart who is about to be listed on Nasdaq... Esami Mark's throat became a little dry, and he took a sip of champagne before saying: "Mr. Song, I think, I probably understand why I received Thank you very much for your trust and Mr. Liang’s recommendation. Don’t worry, I will be able to sell MEING’s DVD players all over the United States!”

"I'll discuss this matter with Mr. Mark in detail later. It's not just a DVD player, but a bigger idea, but I don't know if Mr. Mark can do it." Song Yang just smiled first , and then asked, "Who is this beautiful young lady?"

"Naomi Watts!" She had heard her heart beating faster, and said quickly, "My name is Naomi Watts!"
