Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

"Mr. Xiao, you are also a world-renowned film investor. Why did you want to shoot "Harry Potter" with MGM? Everyone knows that this is a big treasure. As long as the director is reliable, it is certain to make money .”

Kerry next to him said: "Let me answer this question. There is a saying in Huaxia called a word that is as high as a mountain, which is used to describe a person's persistence in commitment. When we collaborated on "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Xiao Mr. Xiao once promised me that as long as MGM makes a good movie, he is willing to hand over the other "Harry Potter" movies to us. For this promise, Mr. Xiao would rather lose billions than I thought about going against my own words. Compared with those contracts, I believe in his promises more. In my heart, he is my most trustworthy good friend and good brother."

When the reporters in the audience heard this, they were all in an uproar.

"I didn't expect the rumors to be true."

"A verbal promise worth billions of dollars, I feel a bit fanciful."

"What is a promise, a thousand gold, I understand today."

"Although I think Kung Fu Xiao is a little silly, I admire him very much in my heart."

After a while, a reporter stood up and said, "Mr. Xiao, I am deeply impressed by your character. I heard that you announced in China that the world's first 3D movie "2012" you recently shot will not only get box office No. 150 on the list, but also to break through the [-] billion US dollars mark, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "You are very well informed. That's right, my goal is 150 billion US dollars."

"How is it possible, to tease us?"

"When I heard the news, I thought it was the media sensationalizing, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"A movie with a box office of more than 150 billion US dollars, what an international joke."

"I don't even believe in death, unless a miracle happens."

The reporters were once again shocked by Xiao Yunhai.

Seeing the reporters whispering among the audience, Xiao Yunhai cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, today is the press conference held by MGM Film Company. We will talk about other things later. Are there any questions?"

"Mr. Xiao, do you know that Stehr Networks recently dealt with MGM? Your helping MGM in this way is equivalent to destroying Stehr's acquisition plan. Are you not worried at all?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "It's normal to win or lose in shopping malls. Whether it's Stell Networks or any other giant company, they shouldn't embarrass me for such a small matter. Of course, if they really want to take action against me, then I It’s also impossible to wait for death, the worst case is that I move Magic and Marvel Comics collectively to China, and then sell the North American theaters, it’s no big deal.”

Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, all the reporters were speechless for a while.

Next, Xiao Yunhai answered more than ten questions, and the entire press conference came to an end.

"Xiao, when do you have time? My father wants to invite you to our house as a guest."

When going downstairs, Kerry asked Xiao Yunhai.

Xiao Yunhai thought for a while, and said: "Kerry, I'm sorry, I really don't have time. Tonight, I made an appointment with a very important person. Tomorrow night is the Oscars ceremony, and I'm going back to Huaxia in the morning of the day after tomorrow Yes, and you have to bring the relevant materials and come with me. Because the loan matter cannot be delayed. "

Kerry nodded and said, "Okay. I will treat you well when I have a chance in the future. I heard that you have become the father of two children. Congratulations."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Shouldn't you hurry up and find one?"

Kerry shook his head and said, "I don't want to give up the whole forest for just one tree."

Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes at him, and said, "You haven't really matured yet, kid."

Kerry snorted, and said: "You don't come here. In terms of age, you are several years younger than me. Let me tell you, you must be fully mentally prepared for the Oscars ceremony tomorrow. There are gossip , Paramount has done a lot of work in order to make their name famous. Now you have greatly offended MGM by helping us, and you probably won’t get any awards.”

Xiao Yunhai frowned, stopped, and asked, "Is Oscar so easy to be manipulated? Then why did I win several awards last year?"

Kerry said with a smile: "In the United States, the dollar is a hard currency, and you can buy anything. As for last year's Oscar, it was entirely because your work was sent by us at MGM, which gave you a fair environment But this year, our MGM brand is no longer good, and you are unwilling to move around, I am afraid the result will not be optimistic."

Xiao Yunhai said in a deep voice: "If I really don't win any awards tomorrow, then I will not participate in the Oscars in the future."

Kerry said solemnly: "You don't have to participate, but you must not say it in front of the media. Otherwise, you will offend the Oscar Organizing Committee, and you will be greatly hindered if you want to show the film in the United States in the future. You understand ?"

Xiao Yunhai nodded, and said: "I understand, but whether you can hold it back is another matter."

Kerry patted his forehead and said, "Forget it."

The author Yiye Fengliu said: There were too many things last month, and the goal of this month is 30 words. Please give more flowers and rewards to Fengliu. Fengliu is very grateful.Merry created a QQ group, group number: 586868347.Everyone is welcome to come and gather.

Chapter 976 Conspiracy

paramount headquarters

Hanks watched the press conference of MGM Pictures on the Internet, and his face flushed with anger, his chest heaved violently, like a big balloon about to explode.

"He actually dared to ignore my warning and help MGM through this difficult situation. Doesn't he know how much it cost us to drive MGM to this desperate situation? One step, all All the hard work was wasted. This is all one person's fault. Xiao, you have to pay for what you did." Hanks said through gritted teeth.

For Xiao Yunhai, Hanks can be said to hate it to the bone.

Hanks did a lot of work to convince Stell to take down MGM.On Stahl's board of directors, he swore to all shareholders that as long as he can follow his plan, he will be able to swallow MGM, and when Paramount and MGM are merged, he will be able to provide a solid foundation for Stell. Will form a huge entertainment kingdom.

After obtaining the consent of Steer's board of directors, Hanks discussed non-stop with the shareholders of MGM and talked for half a month. Hanks paid a very high price for this, and finally let these people Promise to unite and drive away the Smiths.

As for the bank, Steer's finance department is in charge, and there is no problem.

Next, Hanks began to suppress MGM frantically in the stock market.The Smiths tried their best to sustain it at first, but after only three days, they couldn't take it anymore.

Under Hanks' operation regardless of cost, MGM's stock price plummeted by 30.00%, and the Smiths were unable to recover.

Everything was perfect, but when the harvest was approaching, Xiao Yunhai suddenly appeared, making Hanks' many days of hard work come to naught.More importantly, his actions cost Stehr nearly 100 billion U.S. dollars.Although most of them can be recovered, the small part of the loss has reached more than [-] billion.

Hanks is very aware of Xiao Yunhai's status in the business world, knowing that after this press conference, MGM's stock price will skyrocket, and it is already impossible to suppress it.

Thinking of this, Hanks' hatred for Xiao Yunhai became even stronger, and he didn't know how to explain it to Steer now.

After a while, Hanks let out a long sigh of relief and dialed the familiar number.

It was quickly connected over there, and an old but confident voice came from the phone.

"Hanks, I'm very disappointed. I still remember the promise you made on the board of directors. It's a pity that you didn't do it."

Hanks bit his lip and said, "Father, the development of the matter has always been under my control, but I didn't expect a spoiler to come in in the end."

It turned out that the person on the phone was Hanks' father, David Steer, the president of Steer Networks.

"Don't make excuses for your mistakes. Kerry Smith and Kung Fu Xiao are very good friends, and the whole Hollywood knows that you should have thought of this possibility long ago."

Hanks said: "I once thought that Kung Fu Xiao would intervene, but it just passed in my mind, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Because I think that with our status in the world, Xiao should not have the courage Offended us. Unexpectedly, he shot without hesitation. Father, we must teach him a lesson, otherwise, what dignity do we have."

David Steer sneered: "Do you think Xiao is so easy to deal with? He is a talented person, and his background is ridiculously strong. In China, he can be described as covering the sky with one hand."

Hanks said: "But America is not China."

David Steer said: "Then what are you going to do? Hanks, Xiao's company is not as full of loopholes as MGM. Magic's stock price is rising almost every day, and Marvel has also passed "Transformers" Back to life, coupled with the excessive liquidity in his hands, unless there is a problem within them, they are basically invulnerable. People on Wall Street say that Kung Fu Xiao is stupid every day, owning almost all the stocks of magic and fantasy, but he does not know how to finance , With so much money in his hands, but only put it in the bank to earn interest, it is simply a treasure. But in my opinion, his approach just makes all his companies very safe, and no one or company dares to Go get their ideas. Otherwise, Wall Street would have done it long ago."

Hanks said: "Father, I can't accept the shame that Xiao brought me. No matter what, I want him to pay the price."

David Steer said: "The most important thing you should do now is not to trouble Xiao Xiao, but how to explain to the board of directors."

Hanks said: "I know, father, I will go to the company tomorrow to plead guilty."
