Reborn Shenhao Miner

Chapter 394: Preparing to Shoot the Wolf of Wall Street!!

With Lee Mingxuan entering MGM, and immediately announced a $100 million capital injection into it.

At the same time, the number of MGM homemade films will be restored, and at least 14-20 films will be produced per year.

And Leonardo DiCaprio also announced that he would join MGM as a producer.

With the addition of Xiao Lizi, for a time, Hollywood became turbulent.

Li Mingxuan, as a flower planter, even if he holds a huge fortune, is actually not welcomed by Hao Leu.

For example, Universal, Warner Bros. and other heads publicly told reporters that they were not optimistic about the acquisition of Fairview Group.

They thought the acquisition would drag MGM into the abyss entirely.

And the reasons they gave are also very understandable, Li Mingxuan, a flower planter, must not be able to understand the culture and values of the beautiful country.

Including film companies such as Shimen Pictures, although they did not say so, they said that he was not optimistic.

However, Li Mingxuan didn’t care about this at all.

Although he really can’t understand the culture and values of the beautiful country, he comes from the future life, which movie can be popular, to what extent.

He could still roughly know that he would be in charge of MGM for at least a decade.

And if MGM can’t develop on its own by then, then he can only say that he has failed.

Soon, as the world’s No. 1 headhunting firm, McKinsey recommended a CEO for Li Mingxuan.

A man named Bob Eagle.

Bob Eagle, who joined Pretty National Broadcasting Corporation in 1974, has been continuously improved.

He served as president of the ABC Network Television Group from 1993 to 1994 and later the ABC Network TV Group was acquired by The Walt Disney Company, where he served as president and chief operating officer.

On February 25, 1999, he was appointed as president of Walt Disney International, the department responsible for international business of The Walt Disney Company, and on January 25, 2000, he was again promoted to the president and chief operating officer of the entire Walt Disney Company, officially becoming the second-in-command of Michael Eisner, the then CEO of Disney, Li Mingxuan immediately agreed to become the CEO of New MGM.

In fact, what Li Mingxuan didn’t know was that Bob Eagle later became the CEO of Disney, and it was he who acquired the famous Joe gang owner’s Pixar animation.

It also acquired comic book company Marvel Entertainment and Star Wars producer Lucasfilm.

It can be, Bob Eagle is one of the people who single-handedly laid the foundation for Marvel movies.

However, this person was dug up by McKinsey because of the internal struggle at Disney.

And after Li Mingxuan saw this Bob Eagle, he saw that the other party was a talent in just a few words.

Then he directly offered a super high annual salary of $2 million.

You must know that Disney CE0 is only 1.5 million annual salaries, and this annual salary has not changed much in ten years.

Bob Eagle was surprised and cautious after receiving this salary.

In fact, when McKinsey came to dig him, Bob Eagle learned about the young man in front of him from the side newspaper, the Internet, etc.

The heir of the Fairview Group, there is no shortage of money at all.

Although the outside world has always looked down on MGM acquired by Splendid, he does not see it this way.

The so-called film put aside artistry, in his opinion, it is actually just a capital game.

It is a process of capital appreciation, which used to decline because there was no money, and now with the injection of large amounts of money.

MGM naturally surprised everyone.

So when McKinsey told him that MGM needed a CEO, he came with little hesitation.

After all, compared to a lifeless Disney, he hopes to lead the once king MGM to regain the throne again.

So, when Bob Eagle became the CEO of the new MGM, Hollywood was in an uproar.

They all speculated about what benefits Li Mingxuan gave Bob Eagle to make this guy put the promising Disney second-in-command and run to become a MGM CEO with an uncertain future.

In response, Bob Eagle replied to reporters and the media that he saw the boss’s great commitment to MGM and was willing to believe in MGM’s future.

At the same time, the little fat man Jho Low also began to show his communication skills and frequently befriended some Hollywood stars.

After his deception, many stars with no background in Hollywood had the idea of joining MGM.

Because of the golden sign of small plums, MGM has gradually recovered people’s favor.

And Li Mingxuan also kept his promise to be the first in new MGM. Double Dian Jing customized the drama “The Wolf of Hua You Street” for Xiao Lizi.

Although this drama was banned by flower growers in later generations because of the problem of scale, it is undeniable that this is the pinnacle of Xiao Lizi.

And after seeing the script (Li Mingxuan’s retelling, MGM screenwriting post-processing), Xiao Lizi was quite satisfied.

He immediately prepared to shoot this drama immediately.

Because this image of a capital predator is something he has encountered from bed before.

This greatly seduced his interest.

Later in 2013 it was the film with an investment of $100 million, taking into account inflation.

MGM financial accountants believe a $50 million investment is enough.

Among them, Xiao Lizi’s salary is 15 million US dollars.

However, Xiao Lizi has now discussed with Li Mingxuan as a producer, and he wants to use the $15 million as an investment in the film.

And that’s why Hollywood stars have sharpened their heads to become the producers they want to be.

If according to the proportion of capital contribution, once “The Wolf of Wall Street” is profitable, he can share three percent of the profits.

On the contrary, if the film loses money, he may not get a penny.

In this regard, Li Mingxuan gladly agreed.

Although he knows that with the appeal of Xiao Lizi, this movie will definitely explode, and part of the profit will be eaten by the other party.

But everything must look at the long term, and the future value of Xiao Lizi is far more than this thirty percent profit share.

In general, MGM will only make a profit and will definitely not lose second.

Li Mingxuan wants to let Hollywood realize that the former king is about to return through this drama.

On the other hand, he sent MGM CEO Bob Eagle as a negotiator to Marvel Entertainment to discuss the acquisition of Marvel.

Soon people discovered that the once decadent MGM seemed to be reborn from the ashes and began to be different.

Under the diligent work of lawyer Paul, many of the props rented by the gambling tycoon returned to the props department one by one.

From vintage clocks to locomotive originals, from paddle boats to four-wheeled carriages, from antique furniture to crystal chandeliers, from medieval swords to machine guns.

There are hundreds of thousands of objects, many of which are rich in history.
