Chapter 120: M&A DreamWorks?

To be honest, any other producer, even the gangster boss Harvey Weinstein, will not refuse to invest in Cypriots for an irrelevant role. Today you Cypriots go to my crew, tomorrow I Cypriots go to you This is how the game should be played in the movie crew, and the same goes for Hollywood, but Brother Tom has the capital to refuse.

The entire Mission Impossible series is actually the global outfit of the agent Ethan Hunt played by Brother Tom. Without him, this film is really unplayable, so even Paramount as an investor and distributor cannot There is any provocation against Tom's authority in the crew.

If Brother Atang is really determined to win over the gold master of Country Z, then the role of Zhang Jingchu may not really be able to win.

Although Zhang Jingchu did appear in the movie in her previous life, she just didn't know which big boss she was walking in. She didn't even have a serious line, and she was drunk.

"By the way, after hearing your complaints last night, Paramount seems to want to allocate a portion of your investment share to the investors in Country Z?" Yang Cheng didn't want to break his promise in front of women, and began to waste brain cells to figure out how to operate this role. Come down.

David Ellison was so angry when he heard this, "Yes, it's a group of bastards. Since I entered Hollywood, I haven't followed my heart. They all took me as a fool."

Yang Cheng smiled and fell into trouble, "Who makes you rich? Who doesn't kill you?"

"Hmph, if I enter the arena under the name of Oracle, see if they dare to treat me like this?" David Ellison rolled his eyes unhappily.

"Unfortunately, it's not possible. Why don't you give me this 15% share? Doesn't the fertilizer flow out to outsiders?"

I don’t remember the global box office of Mission Impossible 5, Yang Cheng, but it’s definitely not low. It’s a good investment project. Of course, Yang Cheng will not spend too much time in a role, but if he can get 15% of the share, he can get it back. At the same time it is not cheap, it can also establish a relationship with Paramount, which helps Lionsgate to win a strong ally.

"Here you? Tom and Paramount will not agree, unless you can prove the distribution ability in country Z." David Ellison shook his head, grabbed the alcoholic juice from the beauty assistant and drank again, "And according to I know that two of the investors in country Z this time are state-owned enterprises, and they are in control of the key to the release of foreign films in country Z, which has great energy."

Hearing David Ellison's narrative, Yang Cheng suddenly flashed an organization in his mind, "Zying", "Zying", "Zying", how could there be these great masters everywhere.

The heartbroken Yang Cheng suddenly flashed, shook Zhang Jingchu’s cool hand, gave her a soothing look, turned her head to Ellison and asked in a seductive tone, “You’re right with Paramount Did Tom Cruise complain at all?"

"Ohgod, God knows how much I want to throw them into the middle of the Pacific to feed the whales!" Ellison exaggerated the anger in his heart, but after thinking about it, he found that Yang Cheng's tone was not right.

"Jason, what bad idea do you have?"

Yang Cheng rolled his eyes helplessly, "The words have changed from your mouth. I just think that Hollywood has been closed for too long these years and lost the vitality of competition. It's time for them to have some fun."

Leaning on the back of the chair, with his left hand resting behind Zhang Jingchu, Erlang's legs are tilted, and he chuckles, "Have you heard of the catfish effect?"

Without waiting for Ellison’s answer, he said to himself, “Norwegians love to eat sardines, especially live fish. After the Norwegians catch sardines at sea, if the fish are allowed to arrive in Hong Kong alive, the price will be higher. It is several times more expensive than dead fish. However, because sardines are naturally lazy and do not like sports, and the journey back to the voyage is very long, the sardines caught often die as soon as they return to the dock. Even if some are alive, they are still dying.

Only one fisherman’s sardines are always alive and they are very vigorous, so he makes more money than others. This fisherman keeps the secret of his success until the end, until after his death, people open his fish trough and find only It's just one more catfish. "

David Ellison’s beautiful assistant and Zhang Jingchu both listened to Yang Cheng’s story quietly, only Ellison interrupted impatiently, “Don’t be stunned, hurry up, of course I know the catfish effect.”

"The Big Six have been in control of Hollywood for too long, so long that they forget that there are challengers and rising stars. At this moment, you suddenly rise up a film and television company that is not inferior to the six large-scale film and television companies. What will they look like?" Yang Chengyue The more excited the expression on his face, because a crazy thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

"What are you thinking?" David Ellison was confused, feeling abandoned by his IQ, and couldn't keep up with Yang Orange's rhythm at all.

Yang Cheng was still selling Guanzi, turning the diamond ring on Zhang Jingchu's middle finger, and asked, "Which is the largest and most powerful film company out of the six?"

"Um... Lionsgate? DreamWorks? I'm not sure." David Ellison endured impatience with two names.

"Yes, what if the two merged?" Yang Orange slapped her hands, her black pupils glowing with excitement.

David Ellison opened his mouth and said nothing. He wanted to reprimand Yang Cheng for being whimsical, but immediately there was a voice in his heart telling him that it was not impossible!

Why can't the two companies merge? Back then, both AOL and Time Warner could merge, although the final outcome was not good.

"Are you serious?" David Ellison confirmed in shock.

Yang Cheng didn't care, and smiled confidently and calmly, "I swear to God, I'm serious!"

"I heard that DreamWorks has recently fallen into a financial crisis."

"Hehe, apart from the six major media predators, no company in Hollywood can keep the capital chain intact, oh, except you, the local tyrant." Yang Orange shrugged with a smile.

"Fuck off." David Ellison just smiled and cursed at Yang Cheng's teasing, and then tightened his brows again.

"You have to help at that time." Yang Cheng poured wine for David Ellison himself, jokingly tentatively.

"Of course, you dare not take me with you in this project, and I won't recognize you as a friend in the future." Don't take David Ellison's childish threats seriously, he is serious.

The two jokes confirmed their intention to cooperate, and the specific details need to find time to sit down and talk. Now is the time to enjoy the food.

When the waiter served the dishes, Ellison patted his chest and promised that Zhang Jingchu's role was handed over to him. This was also for An Yangcheng's heart. Since he struck into Hollywood despite the opposition of his father Larry Ellison, There hasn't been a multi-billion-dollar deal yet, Yang Orange's unexpected proposal gave him this opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it.

. . .

The first appetizer "Moon Black Wind High", on a heavy old wooden board covered with dense patterns, two silver spoons, ocher jelly-like objects and light white foam, are pleasing to the eye.

The waiter served the dishes while still cooking, “This dish is inspired by a classic cocktail, made of dark rum into a crystal clear jelly gel, supplemented by **** beer foam, and slightly Add a few drops of lime juice to enhance the flavor."

The mini size makes Yang Cheng feel angry. He also knows that this was done deliberately by the chef to fully mobilize the appetite of the guests. If the first dish is full, how can I eat it?

Pick up the spoon and put it in your mouth. The sweet and sour jelly first invades the taste buds, and then slowly ran out with the warm taste of ginger. It warms the heart with a little bit of pungency and the slight sweetness of **** itself. The smell also drifts in the mouth.

There are also three appetizers at the back, such as wagyu beef made into cigars, the shell of the cigar made from tomato as raw material, and the precious braised wagyu beef inside, served with garlic mayonnaise and a piece of celery leaf Cover the surface.

They are all delicious with little quantity, which makes people want to stop.

The main dishes are the specialty of this restaurant. Sea urchin eggs, butterfly-shaped halibut, coral spotted shrimp and super premium wagyu beef are delicious, but you can’t get enough.

Yang Cheng’s beloved Wagyu beef is a delicious roasted beef with a peach color and tender on the outside. The skin is incredibly crispy. The wonderful oil and full gravy prove an equation. Only high-end ingredients are available. +Super high-tech combination = "Delicious on earth".

After eating, Yang Cheng even moved the idea of ​​raising wagyu cattle on his own ranch. After thinking about it for less than half a second, he gave up instantly. It is better to earn more money to enjoy in the restaurant if you have time to serve the ancestors of cattle.

The last dessert is the lady’s favorite. Zhang Jingchu is full of praise for one of the desserts called "melon". The combination of soft green and pure white makes the eyes feel refreshed immediately, cool and soft, soft and tender. Smooth cantaloupe yogurt ice cream, with sweet cucumber granules, sweet and sour grape slices and some greasy basil leaves.

After just eating the main course meat, like a ray of clear spring, it washed some numb taste buds.

Everyone who ate a meal groaned contentedly. After Yang Cheng settled the bill, the few people did not stay in the restaurant too much.

After leaving the restaurant, Yang Cheng and Zhang Jingchu followed David Ellison back to his castle to continue discussing the merger and acquisition of DreamWorks.

. . .

Today’s day ~www.readwn.com~ The angels above Los Angeles seemed to have lost their temper. It was cloudy and sunny for a while, sometimes it was cold rain, and suddenly there was another strange wind. In the evening, the temperature dropped to below 20 degrees. Coupled with the cool breeze in the mountains, Yang Cheng wearing short sleeves felt her hairs stand up.

It was also in the living room last night. The red-hot charcoal "cracking" in the fireplace did not seem so obtrusive. Yang Cheng hugged Zhang Jingchu’s warm body and sank in the sofa to warm each other. On the opposite side were Ellison and his. The beautiful assistant, this guy is a lot more than Yang Cheng, his big hands are directly inserted into the assistant's clothes to play with the 36e big baby.

Yang Cheng is not so presumptuous. The main reason is to take care of Zhang Jingchu's emotions. She is a celebrity, just wandering around her waist.

"Jason, we seem to have forgotten one thing. DreamWorks now refers to the independently listed DreamWorks studio, and the film production part was split and sold to Paramount as early as 2005. We have no show." David Ellison flipped through the information the assistant had collected urgently, slammed it on the table, and took a depressed sip of whiskey to vent.

And the materials in front of Yang Cheng were neatly arranged, and they didn’t move. She persuaded her without any haste, “What anxious, I didn’t expect to acquire a complete DreamWorks, something that even Disney did not do. Can we succeed in dreaming? The legend of the snake swallowing elephant will always only happen in fairy tales."

Zhang Jingchu's English level is quite good. Except for her accent, her fluency is very high. It is not difficult to participate in the dialogue between Yang Cheng and the others. She ignored her big hand at her waist and leaned forward to take the information and read it for a while, etc. After Yang Cheng finished speaking, with her casual ponytail, she pinned the hair hanging from her forehead behind her ears, and suddenly approached and whispered in Chinese, "I heard that Wanda Group is also in contact with DreamWorks Studio in China?"
