Chapter 1,263 Jedi Counterattack
I want to strangle you to death. It depends on how much money you have to buy, or you will become a fat man after just adding enough. I'll deal with you later when you have indigestion. On the other hand, you are very energetic. Why don't you give me food to see if I can eat it? I'll eat as much as you come, and I'll leave you with nothing to eat until I finish them all.
Under such a premise that Zhou Yu was willing to fight and suffer, the number of movie screens owned by the "Forest Cinema Screening Room" increased exponentially. In a short period of time, Ellison acquired more than 10,000 movie screens. When the media, audiences and outsiders in the film industry reacted, the "Forest Cinema Screening Room" owned by Lin Feng and Ellison already owned half of the movie screens in the United States and one-fifth of the movie screens in the world.
When informed of this. When the news came out, all reporters were shocked. You know, a movie projection company has 10,000 movie screens. In a sense, it is equivalent to controlling the rights to the film. When you have control over the movie terminal exhibition market, you can say which movie you want to be a hit, and make that movie a hit. After all, if you don’t release it, no matter how good the movie is, the audience won’t be able to watch it. No matter how bad the movie is, you can watch it all day long. The audience has to watch it even if they don't want to watch it. After all, romance and romance are always indispensable in watching movies.
Is the "Oscar Alliance" ready to surrender? All Western reporters were shocked.
Haha, what a great trick by Lin Feng! Don't you "Oscar Alliance" want to block Lin Feng? Now Lin Feng doesn't need to talk to you about his background, connections, skills, etc. He can just use money to open a path. This is the so-called "heavy sword without edge" in Chinese martial arts. In the face of absolute strength. everything is nothing!
While Chinese and Western reporters cheered and cheered for their respective supporters, the American audience suddenly felt very miserable. You two big companies will fight each other, for us ordinary people. The most important thing is to be able to watch a wonderful movie during your leisure time. Can play some time. But now, why is it so difficult for us to watch movies? Either there is none, or you have to go across several blocks to find a movie theater showing movies. What kind of world is this?
It turns out that the "Osfan Alliance" hopes that Lin Feng and Ellison will continue to acquire, and Ellison really hates it this time. He is determined that as long as someone sells, he will definitely acquire, and for this reason Ellison He was also ready to take the "Oracle" company stock in his hand to mortgage it to find a bank loan. Lin Feng was really a little shocked by this. Originally, Lin Feng just wanted to earn a vote by playing movies. Make some money and use some of his own money. Very promising to be made into a movie.
But I didn’t expect that it would be so big this time. I invested over 100 million U.S. dollars successively, completely depleting all the funds in my hands, and even invested the 100 million U.S. dollars earned from selling ". Yahoo. For shares, Lin Feng still owes "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China", which is close to 100 million U.S. dollars. It can be described as a debt.
Ellison and himself were the same, and they also got B dollars in cash. It can be said that, regardless of the shares they currently own, both of them are clean.
As a result, Ellison is now crazy.
Can Lin Feng not go crazy? Obviously not! if that. I'm afraid Ellison will fall out on the spot. It was Lin Feng who pulled Ellison into the film industry, which was most unfamiliar to Ellison. Ellison made the investment without hesitation because of his trust in Lin Feng. As a result, now that Lin Feng is no longer playing, do you think Ellison will fall out?
Damn it, no one will die one day! I want a dead bird to fly to the sky! Well, Joseph, as long as I don't die this time, I will kill you! Gritting his teeth and stamping his feet, Lin Feng also tried his best. He directly used his "Wal-Mart" shares to borrow 100 million U.S. dollars, ready to invest in this acquisition of no return at any time. Anyway, I have enough shares, even if I lose $100 million in this field, it won’t do much harm to me. As for the debt I owe to Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. "Baidu Bank only has a debt of 1 billion US dollars." Baidu and Yahoo are listed on the market, and "Baidu and Yahoo" are personally held by Lin Feng. A small amount of mutual stock shares is enough to repay the debt. In Lin Feng's memory, the global movie box office market will only get better and better in the future. Lin Feng doesn't believe it anymore. He controls the global movie theater market, plus there are so many familiar movies in his mind. There will still be a debt. Before his rebirth, although Lin Feng's family was poor, he had a computer and thanks to China's powerful piracy, he watched almost all the movies that were released before his rebirth. The total global box office of these movies is added up. At least 20 to 30 billion US dollars, Lin Feng still doesn’t believe that he will lose money.
Fight, fight, see who dies in front!
But just when Lin Feng and Ellison were about to have a big fight, the U.S. Department of Commerce intervened. Regarding the intervention of the US Department of Commerce, both Lin Feng and Ellison, as well as the "Oscar Alliance" led by "Sony Columbia Pictures" and "20th Century Fox", are greatly dissatisfied. Both sides want to kill each other and avoid future troubles once and for all. However, the U.S. Department of Commerce is afraid that the bloody battle caused by this acquisition will eventually cause great social unrest.
Of course, to put it bluntly, I am afraid that Lin Feng will win in the end, and then American movies will be completely controlled by Lin Feng. This is something U.S. officials never want to see. Therefore, they must intervene so that no matter what happens. At least half of the U.S. film market is still in American hands. Although half of the equity of "Forest Cinema" is in the hands of Ellison, an American, even if "Forest Cinema" acquires all the movie theaters in the United States, Americans still occupy half of the market in terms of shares. But don't forget, this damn Ellison is a Russian immigrant Jew, not an authentic American.
Under the strong intervention of the U.S. Department of Commerce, although the "Oscar Alliance" was also dissatisfied, it finally agreed. After all, Lin Feng already had almost enough funds in hand, and they were also worried that if Wanliu made a small fuss this time, both sides would suffer, and Ellison and Lin Feng would try to make up for it with money earned from other industries. Then the two sides will really have to fight internally. Therefore, to be on the safe side, the "Oscar Alliance" agreed.
After agreeing to a temporary settlement between the two parties, one party will not sell the cinema and the other will not acquire the cinema. The "Oscar Alliance" began to completely prohibit the sale of movie rights to theaters with 10,000 movie screens owned by the "Forest Cinema Screening Room". Let Lin Feng and Ellison control Sun Li Home Appliances
Therefore, there is a sad aspect that makes many viewers who usually like to watch movies feel sad. Because they suddenly had no movies to watch.
"Lin, are you ready to do it now?" Ellison was now in a state of explosion. This is the first time that he has used so much funds to complete one thing. So he cannot afford to fail. Either succeeds or, before failing, he destroys everything, including himself.
"Allison, don't worry. The line we put out is long enough," Slingshot said. It's curved enough. It's time to fight back! It happens to be the last day of the first chapter of "Heroes". Ellison, it's time for us to fight back! "Lin Feng hammered the table hard.
Ellison also swung his right fist fiercely in the air. They invested so much money, if they don't fight back. He's going crazy.
American time, February 1st, is the release date of the second part of "Heroes", and it is also the release date of the last part of this long-running feature film that has been receiving critical acclaim since its release. As always, the second screening of "Heroes" was still full. As for the number of moviegoers, with the increase in the number of cinemas acquired by "Forest Cinema Screening Room", the number of moviegoers has exceeded 10,000. But compared to 10,000 movie screens. For more than 10,000 seats, this is a huge number of moviegoers. It only takes up half of the seats.
However, the flagship theater of the "Forest Cinema Screening Room" located in Luoxianfan was still full. Moreover, not only all the original actors of "Heroes" attended this time. And Lin Feng also invited a large number of guests.
As the governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger also put aside all political affairs and came. For this California governor, an American legend, the entire audience burst into warm applause. Subsequently. Several big-name stars from Lam Feng's "Second Entertainment", including Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey and others, also appeared on stage and each sang a famous song for today's "Heroes". Feibu’s video builds momentum.
Subsequently, the "City of Angels" Los Angeles City darling, Los Angeles Lakers' main players, O'Neal, Kobe, Kobe, Malone, and Payton, who hold the title of "Level", also came to the scene one after another because of Lin Feng's invitation. Cheer.
"Haha, Lin, your "Hero" seems to be poorly reviewed, but don't worry, I support you!" O'Neill carelessly patted Lin Feng's shoulder with his big cattail palms.
"Haha, O'Neal, don't forget what you said! "Hero" wants you to support it more!" Lin Feng also laughed.
According to memory. If the Los Angeles Lakers don't win the championship this year, they will definitely fall apart. At that time, O'Neal was a hot potato. I just don’t know if I can eat it. If you can get it, O'Neal's state will be bright, my god, my own Houston Rockets inside combination. The alliance is invincible! Of course, the difficulty is that even if you can't get O'Neal, you can sign Malone and Payton in front of you. Thinking of this, Lin Feng naturally did not forget to chat with these two people.
As for Kobe, Lin Feng could only think about it. This is not to say that Kobe is not good enough. Although Lin Feng already has James and Wade, Kobe is still Zhao's strongest player. There is absolutely no doubt about his strength. But Kobe will never settle for second place. Getting it this way may not necessarily be a blessing. Kobe has grown up completely, and even Jordan may not be able to suppress him.
Of course, although Lin Feng was thinking about the future of the Rockets under Hughes, he did not forget that today's theme was "Heroes". After showing a little enthusiasm for the Yang members, Lin Feng went to receive other guests. You know, for this absolute counterattack, Lin Feng invited all the celebrities he knew. Lin Feng wants to use their reputation and credibility to stage a desperate counterattack!
Subsequently, all the Houston Rockets players came together, Jordan, LeBron Thomas, and Wade. The arrival of Yao Ming and others made the audience gasp in surprise. Especially Jordan's arrival made the audience stand up automatically. Although this is not a basketball court, Jordan's influence in the United States is ubiquitous, and his fans are all over the world.
Of course, the arrival of the Houston Rockets also made the Lakers' "Yang" snort. You know, the two teams are currently ranked among the top two in the league, and the difference is only one game. Under the premise of home and away advantages in the playoffs, the two sides are naturally at war with each other.
Subsequently, the attendance of Hollywood superstars and gold medal directors such as Tom Cruise, Spielberg, James Mellon, etc. made the atmosphere of the night reach a climax. The applause continued.
"Dear guests, thank you very much for your support of this feature-length film. Thank you very much! To everyone who came to watch the movie today, I would like to express my gratitude." Lin Feng bowed deeply in gratitude.
A round of applause.
"Today is the last part of the 23rd part of "Heroes". I won't say more. Here, I only hope one thing. If you read "Heroes" and think it is good, please log in to "Defense". Please write down your thoughts on the website. Every viewer who is willing to log in and post their thoughts will receive a "Heroes" souvenir, and a total of 10,000 lucky viewers will be randomly selected to create gods. Get the full set of "Heroes". set. " Lin Feng said sincerely.
fiery! When Lin Feng finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in the audience became hot. Those who can come to the cinema to watch "Hero" and continue to watch "Hero" must be die-hard fans of "Hero". For the "Heroes" complete set. Naturally thirsty for knowledge.
"Please everyone! After all, Director Spielberg worked hard to film "Heroes", and I also hope that it can receive a fair evaluation. And now, with all the media in the United States evaluating it, I can say that it is no exaggeration to say that it is a god, It's all unfair. So, I hope everyone can give "Hero" some fair treatment." Lin Feng bowed again.
This time, all the audience cheered in unison. They are all die-hard fans of "Heroes" and were extremely unhappy with the unfair treatment suffered by "Heroes" before. However, no matter how they protest or complain, those mainstream American newspapers still go their own way. This made everyone extremely helpless. As for online leaks, as long as they post about "Heroes", they will be quickly deleted or blocked. Even if you use search engines, you can't find anything about "Heroes". "Heroes" fans are full of anger. It's like hitting cotton with a heavy punch, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Now that Lin Feng has provided this "defense." Then they will have something to vent about.
Immediately, with all the audience's expectations, the final part of "Hero" kicked off.
Minutes later, all the audience stood up spontaneously to cheer for this epic masterpiece.
Wonderful, really wonderful!
At this time. "Oscar Alliance
"Joseph, "Hero" is finally over. We are still suppressing it according to the old method. In a few days, when the craze of "Hero" is over, I want to see what Lin Feng can do to save his cinema. Gong o He's not afraid of indigestion even in a movie theater." Ibuka sneered.
"Izuka Ibuka. Everything will be dealt with by the means we adopted before. But we have agreed. This time once the "Forest Cinema Screening Room" cannot hold on, we will auction the cinemas owned by "Twentieth Century Fox" first. Pick a few movie theaters.” Joseph has already started preparing to carve up the "Forest Cinema Screening Room", its Yulijia Cinema.
But that night. However, Lin Feng has already made an appointment with the bosses of major mainstream media in the United States and held a video conference.
"Every tycoon in the media industry, this is our first meeting, please take care of me!" Lin Feng said with his hands.
Many bosses looked at each other. Although they had always ignored the newspaper's affairs, they also knew that their own newspaper had recently launched a public attack on "Hero", which Lin Feng invested 100 million US dollars in filming, causing its box office revenue to be very bleak. Out of curiosity, various bosses also went to the cinema to watch "Hero". Although many bosses have not watched several "Heroes" due to work, they must admit that "Heroes" is indeed an excellent feature-length movie. Even if it is not the best in history, it will never receive such poor reviews.
After getting to know it, I realized that it was the "Oscar Alliance" who was behind this. Forced by the power of the "Oscar Alliance" and its support for American companies, as well as the trend of interests, many bosses turned a blind eye and closed their eyes. In the face of absolute interests, they temporarily put aside the fair reporting of news organizations. Professional ethics, no harm!
Therefore, most of the people knew that Lin Feng asked them to meet today.
"Recently, newspapers owned by major bosses have taken great care of me!" Lin Feng said with a meaningful smile.
Many bosses were slightly embarrassed, but still remained silent. No one would be stupid enough to admit it at this time, it must be admitted. That’s not just waiting to be retaliated against, there’s still no way to redress the injustice!
"You are all smart people. If there is too much to say, I won't say more. In short, I hope that in your newspaper tomorrow, I can see a fair evaluation of my film "Hero". Lin Feng puts forward his own request.
"Mr. Lin, we are just newspapers. How freelance writers or film critics review is their business. I believe that each reviewer is also commenting based on their own understanding of the movie. Mr. Lin , I think we should trust their professional authority." A man said coldly.
Lin Feng looked around and saw that this person should be the president of the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal is owned by Murdoch's News Corp. And myself and Murdoch of course. The main reason is that there is something unfriendly between Murdoch and Wendi Deng.
Lin Feng smiled coldly. This Wendi has been causing trouble for herself. It hurts me so much that I can't do anything now. I'll see how I can fix her one day when I can free my hands. Don't think that if you climb up to Murdoch, you can do whatever you want.
"Of course, I will not ask the bosses to give me this privilege out of thin air. I will buy a section from you at the price of advertising rights to express comments. I wonder what the bosses think?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
All the media tycoons were moved. After all, they just run a newspaper, and the most important thing is to make money. There is no reason to offend Lin Feng head-on for the sake of the "Oscar Alliance." After all, the "Oscar Alliance." But it didn't do them any favors.
"By the way, these commentators are all well-known figures. For example, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, O'Neal, Tom Cruise, and even British Prince William, etc.!" Lin Feng added. Put out a chip.
The faces of many media tycoons have begun to jump. Knowing the comments of these famous people will increase newspaper sales. But if so. The "Oscar Alliance" is a bit difficult to explain there. But if they reject Lin Feng in person, it will be a bit troublesome. They are also afraid that Lin Feng will become angry and really fight with them. Of course, Lin Feng can't do it alone. Challenge the entire media industry, but Lin Feng picks one of them to start. This ability is definitely possessed by Lin Feng. Not to mention the addition of Ellison. At first, Lin Feng did not come to them. Naturally, they could just silently talk about their wealth. , now that Lin Feng is here, they can't pretend not to know.
Dilemma!
Lin Feng is not pressing at this moment. He believes that these media tycoons will make a decision that is beneficial to each of them.
After a long time.
"Mr. Lin, although I am the boss, this matter is under the control of the editor-in-chief. I will talk to him and let him make the decision." The boss of USA Today said.
"Yes, Mr. Lin, I mean the same thing. Other media tycoons have expressed the same attitude.
Lin Feng smiled and said nothing. Their words were just a statement. Obviously, the editors-in-chief of various media would then call them to discuss the price and layout. But there was something that surprised Lin Feng. That is, the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal decisively rejected it. Both newspapers are owned by Murdoch's News Corporation.
In response, Lin Feng also snorted coldly. As long as other media tycoons agree, as for these two. Less of them.
"By the way, Ellison, how's it going over there?" Lin Feng asked.
"Haha, Lin, no problem, let's wait and see the show tomorrow!" Ellison laughed.
For this desperate counterattack, Ellison and Lin Feng spent a lot of money! But as long as it succeeds, the future income will definitely be dozens of times that of the present!
