Let's play together

"Lin, what are you going to do?" Ellison learned that American film companies led by "Sony Columbia Pictures" and "Twentieth Century Fox" have formed an "Oscar League" and banned him from working with Lin. After Feng's film company sold in American cinemas and restricted its contracted actors from filming what Lin Feng and Ellison Film Company said, he immediately called Lin Feng.

"Ellison, why your tone is so relaxed, you know, they are not only blocking my'Second Entertainment', but your'Ellison Film Company' has also been blocked!" Lin Feng said to Ellison. A very relaxed tone, very surprised.

Although Ellison is rich, this time he set up a film company not to flicker and release satellites, but to really invest more than 50 million U.S. dollars, buy a studio, and a series of photography equipment. A series of managers were also invited, and several directors and actors were signed. It can be said that if the "Ellison Film Company" is blocked at this time, the more than 50 million US dollars invested by Ellison will be completely ruined.

"Hey, Lin, how could I not worry about it. This is more than 50 million U.S. dollars. My money was not brought by the wind. But compared to your'second entertainment', my funds are insignificant." . Just last year to acquire a'MGM Studios', you spent 4.7 billion US dollars, my more than 50 million can only be regarded as a drizzle!" Ellison smacked his lips and said very easily, "I believe you must There is a way, so why should I worry about it!"

Lin Feng was speechless for a while. For Ellison's explanation, it was really dumbfounding. However, what Ellison said could not be more accurate. He did have a way to deal with the difficulties of the "Oscar League", otherwise he would not be so publicly announcing that he was about to establish the "Linfeng Film Festival." Therefore, Lin Feng is definitely planning.

But now that Ellison made such a fuss, Lin Feng suddenly rolled his eyes and decided to include Ellison in this plan. With such a big "funder" here, Lin Feng can only ask him to pay well. If such a "golden master" were to be spared, he would be condemned by heaven.

"Ellison, I do have a way, but I need you to cooperate." Lin Feng's sly smile appeared at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. It is a pity that Ellison is at the end of the phone hundreds of kilometers away, so I can't see Lin Feng. The weird smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Let's talk, what can I do?" Ellison was also shocked when he heard the words. 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 to ensure that the films made can make money. But now that the "Oscars League" has used its monopoly to ban its own film company, Ellison is naturally uncomfortable. However, he could not toss in the film industry alone, so he could only pin his hopes on Lin Feng. After all, Lin Feng's "Second Entertainment" owns the film rights and status after the acquisition of "MGM Films", which is far from comparable to the "Ellison Films" he just established!

Lin Feng smiled.

"Ellison, since they want to block our movie, then there is only one way for us--" Lin Feng said, he paused slightly.

"Building a movie theater by yourself?" Ellison is not stupid, and Lin Feng said it naturally.

"Yes! But American law does not allow film companies with production and distribution rights to own their own movie theaters, so I suggest that the two of us jointly establish a new movie projection company and build theaters across the United States." Lin Feng suggested with a smile.

Originally, it was necessary for Lin Feng to pay for the movie theater alone, and Lin Feng also forcibly borrowed a sum of money from the "Second Entertainment" account. However, he wants to build movie theaters in hundreds of cities across the United States, even if a movie theater is The most common scale, one cost about 500,000 US dollars, then hundreds of cities in the United States, at least hundreds of millions of dollars. Adding to the big cities such as Los Angeles and New York, a movie theater is far from enough. Not to mention a reduction of ten, eight, at least four or five, and in such a place, it must be luxurious and atmospheric. In addition to the expensive land prices in big cities, Lin Feng’s original budget of US$3 billion is just right.

It's just that now Lin Feng's funds are relatively tight. After his aggressive acquisition of "Baidu-Yahoo" shares, it is already difficult for Lin Feng to squeeze out another US$3 billion to build a movie theater. Now that Ellison is such a "gold master", Lin Feng will naturally not let it go.

Ellison calculated in his mind that the budget of 3 billion US dollars, he and Lin Feng half and half, is 1.5 billion US dollars. He took out the money, but with such a huge investment, he really fell into this pit. This is completely different from his previous petty jokes of more than 50 million US dollars. Although Ellison was crazy, he wasn't really crazy. On the contrary, he was extremely calm, he was calm in madness. Therefore, he must think about it all.

"Lin, if the movie theater problem is solved, how are you going to solve this ‘Oscar League’’s ban on actors? Without actors, the film cannot be filmed." Ellison must ask this question clearly.

auzw.com Lin Feng smiled.

"Ellison, a movie needs actors to support, but there are at least 200,000 actors in the film industry in the United States, and all they can block are those famous contract actors. And among the remaining most actors , I believe that there are definitely actors with superb acting skills but temporarily unknown roles." Lin Feng assuredly said. What gives Lin Feng such confidence is the actors who play "t-bag" (that perverted) in prison escape. Their acting skills are by no means worse than any top Hollywood star, but most of them are unknown.

Ellison was taken aback when he heard the words.

"Lin, do you plan to use all those unknown actors in future movies? Are they OK?" Ellison looked surprised.

Lin Feng chuckled when he heard the words. From Ellison’s question, he knew that he was a film layman.

"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 ample funds, even if there are no well-known actors, you can make good and good A popular movie. And usually this kind of movie can give birth to superstars in the future." Lin Feng said confidently.

Ellison tilted his head for a while, and what Lin Feng said made sense. For example, Leonardo DiCaprio, the hero of the Titanic, was unknown shortly before the filming of the Titanic. After taking the Titanic, he instantly became one of the most famous actors in the world, and he also jumped. And become one of Hollywood's highest paid male stars. But it seems that the director of the Titanic is under Lin Feng's banner.

"But I don't have a good script or a well-known director, what should I do?" Ellison suddenly said sourly.

Got it! When Lin Feng heard Ellison's tone, he knew what idea he was making.

"Ellison, don’t I have two world-renowned directors, and I have a lot of good scripts in my hands. Then I will give you some good scripts, and then I will lend you James Cameron or Spielberg What do you think of making one or two movies?" Lin Feng said kindly and funny. It is said that Ellison is a lunatic, but who would have thought that such a person would pretend to be pitiful!

"Hey, Lin, buddy! That's a deal. As for what you said about the establishment of a movie screening company in partnership, that's the deal. I will put 1.5 billion on your account in a few days. Grandma Yes, dare to block my Ellison's film company, hum, see if I don’t play them to death this time!" After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Ellison immediately became energetic, sweeping away the sour tone just now, and its changes. The speed is jaw-dropping.

"By the way, Ellison, do you still have good friends? If you have them, and if you have money, you might as well let them join this game. The more people there are, the more fun this game is." Lin Feng said with a smile. .

Ellison nodded when he heard this. If you want to keep playing this game and win the final victory, you and Lam Fung alone are still a little bit choking, because the final decision is not the box office of the two sides of the "Oscar League" and Lam Fung, but the final " The success of "Oscar Awards" and "Linfeng Film Art Festival". Only when the winner is decided on these two awards is a real win.

But now Lin Feng is definitely at a disadvantage. After all, the works of Lam Fung’s "Second Entertainment" and Ellison’s "Ellison Film Company" will definitely participate in next year’s "Lin Fung Film Art Festival". The two companies will be able to shoot in one year. There are so many movies, I am afraid that even the nomination list is not full. Compared with the dazzling array of "Oscars" works on the opposite side, isn't it a big joke.

Therefore, more wealthy people must be allowed to join this game.

"Lin, rest assured, I will definitely bring you some friends to join this game. But my contacts alone are not enough, you also know how'good' my popularity in the United States is!" Ellison shrugged helplessly .

Lin Feng was amused when he heard the words. Indeed, Ellison's "popularity" in the United States is so good, so good that there are basically no friends. Lin Feng is not enough to believe that as long as he can become his friends, he will definitely join this game. Because things are gathered together, people are divided into groups. Most of the friends made with Ellison's personality are those who have a special personality and a special maverick. This kind of people will definitely be willing to spur a real friend.

"Okay, Ellison, leave this to me, no problem!" Lin Feng's mind flashed several people's names.

"By the way, Lin, how are you going to respond to the challenge of the'Oscar League'!" Ellison said.
