Chapter 1,215 Let’s play together
"Lin, what are you going to do?" Ellison learned that American film companies led by "Sony Columbia Pictures", "Twentieth Century Fox" and other film companies have jointly formed an "Oscar Alliance" and banned him and Lin
After Feng's film company restricted its sales in American movie theaters and restricted its contracted actors from filming the scenes that Lin Feng and Ellison Film Company had mentioned, he immediately called Lin Feng.
"Ellison, why do you have such a relaxed tone? You know, they are not only blocking my 'Second Entertainment', your 'Ellison Film Company' has also been blocked!" Lin Feng said about Ellison.
A very relaxed tone, extremely surprised.
Although Ellison is rich, this time he set up a film company not just to show off satellites, but to actually invest more than 50 million US dollars to buy a studio and a series of photography equipment.
A series of managers were also hired, and several directors and actors were signed. It can be said that if "Ellison Films" is blocked at this time, then the more than 50 million US dollars invested by Ellison will be completely wasted.
.
"Hey, Lin, how could I not be worried? This is more than 50 million U.S. dollars. My money is not brought by strong winds. But compared to your 'Second Entertainment', my funds are nothing."
.Just to acquire MGM Films last year, you spent 4.7 billion US dollars, and my more than 50 million can only be regarded as drizzle!" Ellison smacked his lips and said very relaxedly, "I believe you will
There is a solution, so why should I worry?"
Lin Feng was speechless for a while. He really couldn't laugh or cry about Ellison's explanation. However, what Ellison said couldn't be more accurate. He did have a way to deal with the "Oscar Alliance"'s difficulties, otherwise he wouldn't be so
Lin Feng announced publicly that he was about to establish the "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival". Therefore, Lin Feng definitely had a plan.
But now that Ellison is making such a fuss, Lin Feng suddenly turns his eyes and decides to include Ellison in this plan. With such a big "financier" here, Lin Feng needs to pay him well.
.If you let such a "financier" go, you will be punished by God.
"Ellison, I do have an idea, but I need your cooperation." Lin Feng had a fox-like smile on his lips. Unfortunately, Ellison was on the other end of the phone hundreds of kilometers away, so he couldn't see Lin Feng.
That weird smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Tell me, what can you do?" Ellison was also excited after hearing this. Since he has invested in such a film company, he naturally hopes that it can achieve something. Not to mention becoming the best film company in the United States, at least he must
It is guaranteed that all the movies he makes can make money. However, now that the "Oscar Alliance" has actually used its monopoly position to block his own film company, Ellison is naturally unhappy. However, he cannot make a fortune in the film industry by himself, so he can only pin his hopes on
Lin Feng. After all, after Lin Feng's "Second Entertainment" acquired the "MGM Film Company", the film copyright and status it has are far beyond what his newly established "Ellison Film Company" can compare with!
Lin Feng chuckled.
"Ellison, since they want to ban our movie, then we have only one way -" Lin Feng paused slightly at this point.
"Build your own movie theater?" Ellison is not stupid, and Lin Feng is naturally transparent when it comes to this.
"That's right! However, US law does not allow film companies with production and distribution rights to own their own cinemas, so I suggest that the two of us jointly establish a new film projection company and build cinemas across the United States." Lin Feng suggested with a smile.
Originally, Lin Feng had to pay for the construction of movie theaters on his own, and Lin Feng also borrowed a sum of money from the "Second Entertainment" account, but he wanted to build movie theaters in hundreds of cities across the United States, even for one movie theater.
According to the most common scale, a movie theater costs about 500,000 US dollars, so hundreds of cities in the United States will cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars. Including big cities like Los Angeles and New York, one movie theater is far from enough, not to mention
If we reduce the number of seats to ten, eight, or at least four or five, and a place like this must be more luxurious and grand, plus the high land prices in big cities, after calculation, Lin Feng’s original budget of US$3 billion is
Just right.
It's just that Lin Feng's funds are relatively tight now. After the massive acquisition of "Baidu-Yahoo" shares, it has been difficult for Lin Feng to squeeze out another 3 billion US dollars to build movie theaters. Now with a "financier" like Ellison here, Lin Feng
Naturally I won't let it go.
Ellison calculated in his mind that if he and Lin Feng split the US$3 billion budget in half, it would be US$1.5 billion. He could get this money, but after such a huge investment, he was really stuck in this situation.
He is in a trap. This is completely different from his previous petty fight of more than 50 million US dollars. Although Ellison is crazy, he is not really crazy. On the contrary, he is extremely calm and is crazy in calmness. Therefore, he must
Think about it all.
"Lin, if you solve the movie theater problem, how are you going to solve the 'Oscar Alliance's' ban on actors? Without actors, movies can't be made." Ellison must ask this question clearly.
Lin Feng smiled.
"Ellison, a movie needs actors to support it, but there are at least 200,000 actors engaged in the film industry in the United States. The only ones they can block are the famous contracted actors. And among the majority of the remaining actors
, I believe that among them there are definitely character actors with superb acting skills who are currently unknown." Lin Feng said firmly. What gave Lin Feng such confidence were actors like those who played the "t-bag" (the pervert) in "Prison Break".
Their acting skills are by no means worse than any of the top Hollywood stars, but most of them are unknown.
Ellison was stunned when he heard this.
"Lin, do you plan to use unknown actors in all future movies? Are they okay?" Ellison looked surprised.
Lin Feng chuckled when he heard this. From Ellison's question, he knew that he was a film amateur.
"Ellison, it is true that many movies need the support of superstars, but not all movies are like this. As long as there is a good script, a good director, and sufficient funds, even if there are no well-known actors, you can still make a movie that will be praised and praised.
A popular movie. And usually this kind of movie can also give birth to future superstars." Lin Feng said confidently.
Ellison tilted his head and thought for a while, and what Lin Feng said did make sense. For example, Leonardo DiCaprio, the male protagonist of "Titanic", was unknown shortly before filming "Titanic"?
After filming "Titanic", he instantly became one of the most famous actors in the world, and also became one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. However, it seems that the director of "Titanic" is under Lam Feng's banner.
"But I don't have a good script or a well-known director, what should I do?" Ellison suddenly said sourly.
Yes! As soon as Lin Feng heard Ellison's tone, he knew what he was planning.
"Ellison, don't I have two world-renowned directors, and I have a lot of good scripts in my hands. I will give you a few good scripts, and then lend you James Cameron or Spielberg.
What do you think about making one or two movies?" Lin Feng said angrily and funny. Everyone said Ellison was a lunatic, but who would have thought that such a person would pretend to be pitiful!
"Hey, Lin, that's enough buddy! It's settled then. As for what you said about us establishing a film projection company in partnership, it's settled. I'll transfer 1.5 billion to your account in a few days. Grandma
Yes, Ellison's film company dares to ban me. Hehe, let's see if I don't kill them this time!" Ellison suddenly became very energetic after hearing Lin Feng's words. He swept away the sour tone just now and changed his mind.
The speed is jaw-dropping.
"By the way, Ellison, do you still have any good friends? If so, and if you have money, you might as well let them join this game. This game is more fun when there are more people." Lin Feng said with a smile.
.
Ellison nodded after hearing this. If he wants to continue playing this game and win the final victory, it is a bit difficult to rely only on himself and Lin Feng, because it is not the "Oscar Alliance" and Lin Feng who decide the outcome in the end.
box office, but the success of the final "Academy Awards" and "Lin Feng Film and Art Festival". Only when the winner is determined at these two awards can we truly win.
Now Lin Feng is definitely at a disadvantage. After all, the works of two film companies, Lin Feng's "Second Entertainment" and Ellison's "Ellison Films", will definitely participate in next year's "Lin Feng Films"
"Art Festival", the two companies can produce so many movies in a year, I'm afraid they can't even fill the nomination list. Compared with the dazzling array of works at the "Academy Awards" opposite, isn't it a big joke?
Therefore, more wealthy people must join this game.
"Lin, don't worry, I will definitely get you some friends to join this game. But relying on my connections alone is not enough. You also know how popular I am in the United States!" Ellison shrugged helplessly.
.
Lin Feng was amused when he heard this. Indeed, Ellison's "popularity" in the United States was so good that he basically had no friends. Lin Feng believed that anyone who could become his friend would definitely join the game.
.Because birds of a feather flock together, people flock together. Most of the friends made with Ellison's personality are those who are particularly unique and unique. This kind of person will definitely be willing to go out of his way for a true friend.
Knife inserted.
"Okay, Ellison, leave this to me, no problem!" Several names flashed through Lin Feng's mind.
Chapter completed!
