Rise of the Richest Man Reborn

It is clear that I want to tell the high-level people in the mainland that if they don’t follow their way in everything about Xiangjiang, there will be a tragic end. Universal Pictures, which is supported by the mainland, will be a straightforward example...

Chapter 669 Confirmation of the Truth

Chapter 669 Confirmation of the Truth

In front of the gate of the Hong Kong Police Headquarters, lawyer Shi Weijie led four Da Wan Chai who had just been released on bail, and they stepped out from the gate of the police station.

An unremarkable van was parked on the side of the road outside the gate of the police station.

Xiang Shiqiang drove the car himself, and when he saw several people appearing, he poked his head out of the car window and waved: "This way!"

Seeing the boss coming to meet him in person, the four big Wanchai trotted forward in a hurry. Attorney Shi Weijie behind him waved his hand in the direction of the car, but instead of following, he walked away from the other direction.

When leaving, lawyer Shi Weijie clearly felt a little emotional, and secretly shook his head: Oh, in this world, have the gangsters already started to obey the rules and speak the law...

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Big brother..."

The four big Wanchai were very excited, and they all shouted loudly a few steps away.

Looking at their excited expressions, they didn't see the depression and decadence that just came out of the prison. They didn't feel any regrets about being caught and eaten in prison for a few days.

However, when the four of them hurried to the front of the car and suddenly saw Boss Lu sitting in the passenger seat, they all froze.

"Damn it, are you crazy? You don't know how to call someone when you see Boss Lu? If Lu didn't save face this time, you think you can hire Barrister Shi to issue bail for you!" Xiang Shiqiang hated iron but steel cursed.

"Boss Lu!"

"Hello Boss Lu!"

"Thank you, Boss Lu..."

"Wow..."

The four big Wanchai came to their senses, and quickly greeted Lu Yixuan, not to mention how submissive and sincere their attitudes were, and one of them cried out excitedly.

Lu Yixuan was a little dumbfounded, and beckoned the four of them to get in the car.

Xiang Shiqiang followed suit, yelling and cursing again and again: "Get in the car, get in the car, damn it, cry for your sister!"

The four big Wanchai stepped forward to open the car door, and got into the van one by one. When they got in the van, they kept making noises, excited and excited, and they didn't know what to do.

I really didn't expect it at all. I thought I was caught in the trap of foreign devils this time. After being caught, I would have to be sentenced to a year and a half. Anyway, the crime of kidnapping and extorting is not light. But they were successfully released on bail, and Boss Xiang and Boss Lu actually came to the police station to pick them up in person.

Xiang Shiqiang started the car and was about to start to leave.

At this time, Lu Yixuan sneered and shouted: "Old Xiang, wait a minute, I'll get out of the car and talk to that ghost!" But in front of the gate of the police station, the figure of the blond ghost Charlie suddenly appeared come out.

This guy was hooking his right index finger provocatively, looking at the van with a mocking smile on his face.

"Fuck, mother foreign devil!"

Xiang Shiqiang was furious, and he slammed on the accelerator, "Fuck, I really want to rush up and kill this foreign devil!"

The four big Wanchai who just got into the car didn't say anything, they went to pull the car door directly, each of them was furious, as if they were going to rush out of the car to find the blond ghost Charlie and desperately.

"What are you doing, just stay in the car for me!"

Lu Yixuan scolded coldly, pointed to his head and said, "Don't just yell and shout and kill when things happen, use your brains more!" After finishing speaking, he ignored Xiang Shiqiang and the others, opened the car door and got out of the car, heading straight for the blond man. Ghost Charlie is gone.

"Recently I'm learning Chinese!"

Seeing that he was five meters away from the blond ghost Charlie, the ghost suddenly said something.

Lu Yixuan stood still, and sneered, "So? How much have you learned?"

The blond ghost Charlie stretched out three fingers and said: "Chinese is too rubbish. I spent a lot of effort, and only learned three-character greetings..." Following a change in voice, he said in an extremely crappy tone: "Slot ...mud...hemp..."

Lu Yixuan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Charlie, are you looking for death?"

The blond ghost shrugged and laughed, "Ha, it's really troublesome to use Chinese greetings, so I don't plan to continue learning. Anyway, in the near future, English will become the only legal official language in Xiangjiang. The common language, let you low-level peoples get used to speaking English slowly!"

Lu Yixuan frowned, he could feel that the blond ghost Charlie didn't really want to use the three-character scripture to provoke him face-to-face, but it seemed that he really had a so-called greeting for meeting people who had learned these three characters seriously. It's just that it was obvious that he was fooled.

But it's true that the blond ghost Charlie is completely incapable of playing such a childish trick.

After all, the current situation is in the hands of the other party. This foreign devil is too late to watch the big show, so why bother to deliberately provoke himself face to face.

What do you really think that he dare not draw a gun to kill someone?

"Charlie, I don't need to grope. I'm too old. Now I have your sister by my side to grope. You should practice the pronunciation of these three characters with your Chinese teacher later! It's best to repeat them to each other every day. Repeat these three words a hundred times, and you will definitely gain something new.

By the way, you deliberately showed up here in front of the police station, isn't it just to show off your ignorance of Chinese to me? "

Charlie, the blond ghost, heard from Lu Yixuan's tone that the meaning of those three Chinese greetings was wrong.

He frowned slightly, but he didn't get entangled in this verbal dispute any longer, and laughed triumphantly:

"Lu, don't be in a hurry to deny it, you just need to understand that I now know all about your identity and background.

I think, by now you should have already realized why we, Mita Mei Lianmei Films, want to block the commercial operation of your new movie "Resident Evil" from Universal Pictures at any cost this time!

That's right, this is a small warning from our empire on which the sun never sets!

You'd better obediently report everything that happened in Xiangjiang to your government.

You should also be clear about one thing, the empire on which the sun never sets, has the ability and determination to defend its borders and land at any time!

The future of Xiangjiang can only be controlled by our royal family of the empire on which the sun never sets!

If you insist on going your own way, what will be left to you in the future is destined to be a messy, decaying and depressed Xiangjiang City!

And all of this is like your so-called Oriental Hollywood Pearl, the Universal Pictures Company you control, I can have a hundred ways at any time to destroy your ridiculous Eastern Hollywood Pearl! "

Hearing such blunt and arrogant words from the blond ghost Charlie, Lu Yixuan laughed instead of anger.

Things really went as he expected, the appearance of the blond ghost Charlie, and the birth of Mita Mei Lianmei Film Company turned out to be a big show played by the politicians of the British island who were unwilling to submit.

"Ha! Charlie, should we make a bet on who will win the box office at the Chinese New Year's Eve this time?"

"What..." The blond ghost Charlie showed hesitation, he didn't understand what kind of medicine was buried in Lu Yixuan's gourd, and dared to bet with him on who would win the box office in such a one-sided situation?

"Why, don't you dare?"

"I don't dare to bet, but if you want to bet with me, I have additional conditions. Our betting agreement must be announced to all Hong Kong citizens. During the betting period, the companies of both parties must not interfere in any way to discredit the opponent. Box office results..."

Chapter 670

Chapter 670

"Extraordinary, shocking news, the boss of Universal Pictures, Lu Da, publicly stated that he will compete with Mita Mei Lianmei Company for the top box office of Chinese New Year movies. The loser will withdraw from the Xiangjiang market unconditionally, and will also pay the winner an equal amount of box office. funds..."

"Beyond the title, Mida, Mei Lianmei Films and Universal Films issued a joint statement that the two parties shall not disrupt the market order by any abnormal commercial competition from now on in this New Year Lunar New Year file betting dispute. , the two parties agreed that based on the existing basis, there will no longer be any restrictions on the autonomy of theaters to choose new film schedules, and the final box office results will be tested by the market..."

"In addition to the nickname, there are many theaters in Hong Kong who choose to schedule the "Octopus Girl Bravely Breaking the Explosion Party" during the Lunar New Year period..."

"Beyond the title, Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Dawan Films have announced the withdrawal of new films, and are willing to make room for "Resident Evil", vowing to help Universal Films stop foreign enemies..."

There are still three days before the Lunar New Year holiday, and the Hong Kong film and television market has undergone drastic changes again.

The series of public betting announcements jointly released by Mida, Mei Lianmei Films and Universal Films caused a sensation in the entire Xiangjiang City.

No one thought that Huanyu Films, which had never publicly expressed its position in the face of the arrogant and aggressive Mita Mei Lianmei Films, would be such a life-and-death battle for the box office.

The two sides of the bet, now they have completely torn their faces, showing the attitude of a showdown.

Before this, some colleagues in the industry and even ordinary citizens who complained about the delay in expressing their views on the boss of Lu Da, all of them were in an uproar when they saw the current decisive situation. He gave a thumbs-up praise for his backbone and courage, but at the same time he began to struggle and worry, and thought that such a decisive bet by Boss Lu was somewhat too impulsive and blind.

After all, the current situation,

On the side of the Raptors across the river, Mita Meilianmei Film Company has used despicable means to forcibly snatch more than [-]% of the theater schedules, and those theater owners, seeing that there are huge profits to be made, are almost one-sided. The party that lost Mita Mei Lianmei Film Company was sharpening their swords and waiting for the big boss of Landing to offer new competition conditions.

It was just one of the conditions for the two parties to make a bet, and they had already stated their positions in advance. No matter which party, if there is any abnormal commercial competition to intervene from now on, it will be judged as a breach of contract and the game will be automatically out of the game.

The meaning behind the words is already too obvious. Some of the off-the-chart tricks used by Mita Meilianmei Pictures, Universal Pictures can no longer use them now.

If the two sides want to compete for the box office of the movie, they will almost have to maintain the basis of this kind of movie theater schedule...

When the two parties made a bet and made a public statement, the arbitrators for the two parties were directly the top business leaders in Xiangjiang.

Among them, Li Chaoren is the most dedicated to this matter, and even plans to send more than a dozen full-time legal and accountants under his own company to be stationed in theaters in various districts during the Lunar New Year screening period to fulfill the responsibility of referees to supervise the progress of the gambling contract.

The betting agreement is fixed for ten days, starting on the 24th day of the Lunar New Year and continuing until [-] o'clock in the evening on the ninth day of the first month. This period is the valid period for the box office statistics of both parties.

In short, as far as the current situation and situation are concerned, the possibility of "Resident Evil" relying on the quality of word-of-mouth to come from behind and win the box office championship has infinitely approached zero.

After all, no matter how well advertised "Resident Evil" was in the early stage, the 007 series of films produced by Mita Mei Lianmei Pictures is also the word-of-mouth and audience group accumulated over more than ten years. How about the quality of the new film "The Explosive Party", as far as the footage exposed by the current TV commercials is concerned, it is also quite worthy of the public to come and watch it!

Another one is,

Even with this gambling relationship, the citizens of Xiangjiang are more or less emotionally inclined towards Universal Pictures and "Resident Evil", and they will give priority to supporting Universal Pictures at that time, but after all, this has too much influence on the box office. limited.

It should be noted that "Octopus Girl Bravely Breaks the Explosive Party" is now the world's premiere.

At that time, even if the citizens of Xiangjiang can hold back for a while and do not go to the theater to support the film, they cannot stand the fact that there are a large number of non-Chinese residents in Xiangjiang, and even if there will be a large influx of foreign moviegoers at that time, just to be able to advance Watch the new 007 series in Xiangjiang.

Therefore, the bet between the two parties, from the moment the bet statement was announced, the balance of victory was no longer on the "Resident Evil" side.

The showing time is only ten days,

Now almost [-]% of the theaters showing it have turned to "The Eight-Clawed Girl Bravely Breaks the Explosive Party"...

Under such a situation, I really don't know what the crazy boss of Huanyu Pictures, Lu Da, is willing to agree to such a game of asymmetrical capital competition.

Could it be that the boss of Universal Pictures, Lu Da, wants to open up overseas markets during this period, and use the box office results in overseas markets to equalize the unfair treatment in Xiangjiang?

These people suddenly thought that Huanyu Pictures was overseas, but had a strategic partner like Sony Video, and thought that the big boss of Huanyu Pictures, Lu Da, had some secret agreement with Sony Pictures.

Indeed, Sony Video and Video, which is far away in Dongsang, has revealed that it plans to arrange a film for "Resident Evil" in Dongsang in the near future.

However, without waiting for people to say this speculation, the two sides of the bet soon had new supplementary conditions.

Among the supplementary conditions, it is clearly defined that the amount of the box office of both parties refers to the cumulative income generated by both parties in the local port of Xiangjiang during the ten-day Lunar New Year period. In addition, any other foreign box office is excluded. outside of grade calculations.

Things have come to this point, the industry insiders are filled with emotion.

How to do?

The boss of Huanyu Films Lu, this is definitely a fool, he was ruthlessly plotted by these foreign devils from the British island!

The scene of the internal meeting of Universal Pictures.

Lu Yixuan looked relaxed and was listening to the work report of a group of subordinates.

The theme of the meeting is very clear. It is to discuss how to better serve the Lunar New Year holidays this Spring Festival and how to ensure the guarantee of the release of the new "Resident Evil" film.

"Mr. Lu, after our repeated debugging and verification, the machinery and equipment can fully undertake the work of releasing new films!"

"Mr. Lu, we have perfectly solved the difficulty of synchronizing and coordinating multi-camera screenings, and we have perfectly solved the difficulty of rendering surround sound effects in stadiums!"

"Mr. Lu, the venue ticket printing and other tasks have been fully completed!"

"Mr. Lu, the pioneering technological breakthrough our company has made this time will soon lead to a revolutionary upgrade of software and hardware technology in theaters. What we are doing this time, looking back at those theaters that are against us, I am afraid I'm going to vomit blood!"

"Ha, let me tell you, it's our big boss who dares to think and do, and actually designed this open-air theater model in a pioneering way. Once this big killer comes out, what kind of Jiang Meng does Mida Meilian American Pictures want to play? Long, I'm afraid a river-crossing worm won't have the strength to be another!"

It was naturally impossible for Lu Yixuan to gamble on an unsure game.

In fact, long before Mita Mei Lianmei Pictures broke into the Hong Kong cinema market with a high profile, the digital audio-visual special effects subsidiary of Universal Pictures had already quietly released many advanced audio-visual technological innovation products. Lu Yixuan hadn't planned to expose the new technology so soon in the event of a betting appointment.

Now, if someone is eager to deliver food to your door, if you don't take the opportunity to reap a wave, wouldn't you be too sorry for your opponent...

Chapter 671 Lu Yixuan's Backhand Move

Chapter 671 Lu Yixuan's Backhand Move

Lu Yixuan had a second plan, directly planning to open the theater into the Xiangjiang Hung Hom Stadium.

In the past few days, a group of people from the subsidiary has been intensively preparing for the debugging of the venue's machinery and equipment, striving to make this theater show a hit.

There were 500 people watching the new movie together. Just thinking about it makes people feel excited.
