Chapter 1,215 Let’s All Play Together
Mu, what are you going to do? According to w. The American film companies and other film companies jointly formed the "Oscar Alliance" and banned his and Lin Feng's film companies from selling in American cinemas, and restricted their contracted actors from filming the films that Lin Feng and Ellison Film Company said. back. He immediately called Lin Feng.
"Ellison, why do you have such a relaxed tone? You know, they are not just blocking my "Second Entertainment" and your "Ellison Films", they are also blocked! "Lin Feng was extremely surprised by Ellison's extremely relaxed tone.
Although Ellison is rich, this time he established a film company not just to show off satellites, but to actually invest more than 50 million US dollars in purchasing 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 tens of thousands of dollars invested by Ellison will be completely wasted.
"Hey, Lin, how can I not be worried? This is more than ten thousand US dollars, and my money is not brought by the strong wind. But my funds are compared to your "second entertainment." In other words, that is nothing compared to a big witch. Just to acquire MGM Films last year, you spent over 100 million U.S. dollars, and the tens of thousands I spent together can only be considered a drop in the bucket." Ellison smacked his lips and said very relaxedly, "I believe you will There is a way, so why should I worry?"
Lin Feng was speechless for a while after hearing this. Ellison's explanation is really dumbfounding. However, what Ellison said couldn't be more accurate. He did have a way to deal with the difficulties of the "Oscar Alliance", otherwise he would not have announced the establishment of the "Lin Feng Film Art Apple" so openly. Therefore, Lin Feng It's absolutely planned.
But now that Ellison was making such a fuss, Lin Feng suddenly rolled his eyes and decided to include Ellison in this plan. With such a big "financier", Lin Feng has to make sure he contributes his money well. If he lets such a "small funder" go, he 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 very excited when he heard 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 It is necessary to ensure that all the films made can make money. But now the "Oscar Alliance" has actually used its monopoly position to block his own film company, and Ellison is naturally unhappy. However, he cannot make a fortune in the film industry by himself, so he can only pin his hopes on it. On Lin Feng. After all, Lin Feng's "Second Entertainment" has acquired the film copyright and status of "MGM Film Company", which is far beyond what his newly established "Ellison Film Company" can create. match!
Lin Feng chuckled.
"Allison,
Since they want to ban our film, we only have one," Lin Feng said with a slight pause.
"Build your own movie theater?" Ellison is not stupid, and Lin Feng is very natural when it comes to this.
"That's right! However, American law does not allow film companies that own production and rights to have 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 spend money on his own to build movie theaters, and Lin Feng also borrowed a sum of money from the account of "Second Entertainment." However, 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 10,000 US dollars, so hundreds of cities in the United States will cost at least hundreds of millions of US dollars. In addition, in big cities like Los Angeles and New York, one movie theater is far from enough. Not to mention reducing the number of seats to ten or eight, but at least four or five. Moreover, a place like this must be more luxurious and grand. Coupled with the high land prices in big cities, after calculation, Lin Feng's original price was 100 million US dollars. The budget is just right.
It's just that Lin Feng's funds are relatively tight now, after buying shares of "Baidu Yahoo" on a large scale. It has become difficult for Lin Feng to squeeze out another B USD of funds to build a movie theater. Now that there is a "funder" like Ellison, Lin Feng will not let it go.
Ellison calculated in his mind and budgeted for 100 million U.S. dollars. He and Lin Feng split it in half, which is B U.S. dollars. He could get the money, but after investing such a huge amount, he really fell into this pit. This is completely different from his previous small deal of more than 40,000 US dollars. Although Ellison is crazy, he is not really crazy. On the contrary, he is extremely calm and is crazy in calmness.
"Lin, if you solve the movie theater problem, how are you going to solve it?" Oscar Alliance, banning actors? Without actors, a movie cannot be made. "Ellison has to ask this question.
Lin Feng smiled.
"Ellison, a movie needs actors to support it, but the actors in the film industry in the United States are at least very powerful. 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 is definitely Lin Feng, a character actor who has superb acting skills but is currently unknown. What gives Lin Feng such confidence are actors like those who played the perverted "Ye Tan" in "Prison Break". Their acting skills are by no means better than any other. There are many A-list stars in Hollywood, 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. Just from Ellison's question, we know that he is a film amateur.
"Ellison, it is true that many movies need the support of super stars, 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 is well-known and well-known. A movie that is a hit. And usually this kind of movie can also give birth to a future superstar, Lin Feng said confidently.
Ellison tilted his head and thought for a while, 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 male stars in Hollywood. But 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.
have to! As soon as Lin Feng heard Ellison's tone, he knew what concubine he was talking about.
"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 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 could 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 the old billion to your account in a few days.* **, Ellison's film company dares to ban me, hehe, let's see if I don't play to death this time, they!" Ellison suddenly became very energetic after hearing Lin Feng's words, and swept away the sour tone just now. , the rapidity of the change 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 with more people," Lin Feng said with a smile.
Ellison nodded upon hearing this. If you want to keep playing this game and win the final victory, it is a bit difficult to rely on yourself and Lin Feng alone, because the final decision is not the box office of the films of the "Oscar Alliance" and "Lin Feng", but the final " Oscar Awards. and "Lam Fung Film and Art Festival". Only when the winner is determined in these two awards can it be called a real win.
However, Lin Feng's side is definitely at a disadvantage. After all, the works of Lin Feng's "Second Entertainment" and Ellison's "Ellison Films" are definitely participating in next year's "Lin Feng Film Festival". I'm afraid there are so many movies that I can't even fill up the nomination list. Compared with the opposite "Oscar Award" film "Linhenmanmu", 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. "Good!" Ellison shrugged helplessly.
Lin Feng was amused when he heard this. Indeed, Ellison's "popularity" in the United States is so good that he basically has no friends. Lin Feng didn't believe that anyone who could become his friend would definitely join this 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. Such people are absolutely willing to go out of their way to protect their true friends.
"Okay, Ellison, leave this to me, no problem!" Several names flashed through Lin Feng's mind. "By the way, Lin, how are you going to retaliate?" Oscar Alliance. The challenge! Ellison said.
