Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Chai Guanghui next to him frowned and said, "Why do I feel that things are not as simple as we imagined."

Suzuki Jiro also looked very solemn, and said: "Mr. Xiao is so confident, he must have something to rely on. I am worried that not only will our plan not succeed this time, but it is very likely that we will suffer huge losses."

George sighed: "I have a feeling that maybe the three of us will go to the Dream Special Effects Company to talk about this matter again, as Mr. Xiao said before leaving."

Chapter 1043 Discussion

In the car, Xiao Yunhai took out his mobile phone and called Kerry without saying a word.

"Hey Xiao, what's the matter?"

Xiao Yunhai said in a deep voice: "Kerry, tell me honestly, is someone in Hollywood uniting with major theaters around the world to boycott my 3D movies?"

Kerry paused for a moment, and said, "Xiao, your guess is correct. I heard that Hanks of Paramount invited major theaters in Europe and the United States to hold a secret meeting to discuss how to deal with your 3D special effects. , I don’t know. You also know that we at MGM and Paramount are at odds, and he definitely won’t invite us.”

Xiao Yunhai said: "Sure enough, it's what I expected. Hmph, they actually want me to lower the price, hehe, it's really funny. After 3D movies become popular in the world, I will definitely make Paramount pay a heavy price. Kerry, I finally Give you a chance, do you want to transform the 3D theater now?"

Kerry smiled bitterly: "Xiao, I'm afraid we can't do this. After all, MGM is one of the Hollywood film companies and needs to cooperate with other companies. Let me tell you the truth, there are already more than a dozen movie theater owners behind the scenes to give My father called and warned us not to do things that are out of the group. These people, we really can't afford to offend. Xiao, I'm sorry. You help us MGM like this, but we MGM can't help you."

Xiao Yunhai said: "It doesn't matter. I am very clear about your difficulties. Kerry, I am not asking you to help me, but to give you a chance. Since you have not grasped it, when the price of 3D theaters skyrockets in the future Now, don't blame me."

Kerry smiled wryly, "I understand."

After talking with Kerry, Wu Hao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and asked, "Boss, what should we do? Without the 3D theater, "2012" cannot be screened at all."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "They can control all theaters in the world, but they can't control my New China Cinemas."

Wu Hao asked: "But can Mr. Yu and Mr. Hu agree? Your shares in it only account for 30.00%."

Xiao Yunhai said: "It's best for them to agree. If they don't agree, then I will pay for the transformation myself. Hehe, don't worry, what we lack now is just a chance to prove 3D movies. Once successful, the market value of Dream Special Effects Company It will definitely skyrocket. At that time, maybe I will be the richest man in the world."

Seeing Xiao Yunhai's optimism, Wu Hao let go of his worries a lot, and said, "I hope so."

New China Cinemas

Yu Hai took a sip of tea, and said to Hu Yaoting: "Last night, you were on a business trip, so you may not be clear. All the shareholders of Yanhuang Cinemas held a video conference, and there were several bosses from European and American theaters participating in the meeting. What everyone is discussing is the transformation of the 3D cinema hall.”

Hu Yaoting asked: "What is the final result?"

Yu Haidao: "Boycott. All theaters around the world unite to force Yunhai to cut prices, and the rate has reached more than 70.00%."

Hu Yaoting sneered and said, "It's a story from the Arabian Nights. What kind of temper Yunhai has, how could he agree to such a condition. Mr. Yu, what do you mean?"

Yu Hai frowned and said: "To be honest, I am also in conflict. Last night, I didn't fall asleep all night, and I kept thinking about this issue. To be honest, Yun Hai's asking price is indeed a bit high. Whether 3D movies can be recognized by the audience is still unknown. If we carry out large-scale transformation, but the 3D movies do not achieve the success we imagined, then all the money we spend is in vain. ?”

Hu Yaoting nodded and said: "Yes, this is the most contradictory part. Other theaters are fine. Yunhai is one of the shareholders of our New China Cinemas, and will definitely request that some of the 2D theaters Transform it into a 3D movie theater. If we agree, it is very likely that we will lose all our money. If we don’t agree, I will be too sorry for Yunhai. After all, he is the biggest contributor to the completion of the New China Cinemas. Mr. Yu, what do you think we should do? manage?"

Without even thinking about it, Yu Hai said: "Support. As partners, if we don't support it, who else will support it. Whether it's business or private, we can't chill Yun Hai's heart. Even if we throw money into the sea Here, we also throw it with him."

Hu Yaoting nodded and said, "We can only do this."

As soon as the words fell, a voice came in from outside.

"Hehe, Uncle, Sister Hu, I'm really touched by you doing this."

Pushing open the door, Xiao Yunhai and Wu Hao appeared in front of them.

Yu Hai said with some embarrassment: "Your ears are too good. The sound insulation effect of this office is so good that you can still hear our voice."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "My ears are always very good. Uncle Yu and Sister Hu, I am really grateful for your decision to lose money to support me. I appreciate this feeling. But as a partner, I How could it be possible for the two of you to suffer losses in vain because of personal matters, even though I don't think 3D movies will fail."

Just as Yu Hai was about to speak, Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and continued, "I thought about it, and I think we can cooperate in another way."

Hu Yaoting asked curiously: "What method?"

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "I want to rent 2 movie theaters in Xinhua Cinema, and transform the 3D screens into 50.00D screens for one year. All the transformation costs will be borne by me independently. The profits of the movie theater plus 70.00% will be paid to the company as rent. After one year, if you agree to accept the renovation of these 3 movie theaters, the company will pay me 3% of the renovation cost at that time, and everything will return to normal. If you If you still disagree, it means that [-]D movies must have failed completely, and I will naturally not insist on it. In this way, you will not suffer losses, and I can still make money from [-]D movie theaters, killing two birds with one stone. What do you two think? "

Yu Haidao: "Yunhai, actually you don't need to do this, we have already agreed to change the 2D theater to 3D."

Xiao Yunhai chuckled, and said: "If I didn't hear what you said, I would definitely be very happy. But since I heard it, I can't pretend that I didn't hear it. If you really want to help me, you can agree to my suggestion. Hehe , Maybe, when "2012" hits the big hits in November and 3D movies become popular all over the world, the two of you will rush to ask me to renovate the New China Cinemas. I will give you a vaccination in advance. I can at most It's 20.00% cheaper than your market price, and then, you can't blame me for being unreasonable."

Hu Yaoting smiled and said, "Boss Yu and I haven't reached that shameless level yet. Yunhai, have you really decided?"

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said: "That's right, as long as the two of you agree, we will sign the contract immediately."

Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes at the same time.

"Okay, let's do that."

For New China Cinemas, this is indeed the best solution.

Ten minutes later, after the two parties signed the contract, Xiao Yunhai asked, "Uncle, Sister Hu, how many shareholders of Yanhuang Cinemas do not agree to change from 10D to 2D?"

Some time ago, Xiao Yunhai dared to sell all the theaters in North America because of Yanhuang Cinemas behind him. Now he suddenly found out that there was a problem with Yanhuang Cinemas, and Xiao Yunhai suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Huaxia solved it, but there is no way to release it overseas.

Yu Haidao: "At that time, only Li Guoke and I abstained, and all other shareholders disagreed. Yunhai, do you have a good relationship with Li Guoke?"

Xiao Yunhai sent Li Guoke's nephew Tian Junhao to the guillotine, and Tian Jishang was also relegated to the three-way zone to become a director. It stands to reason that Li Guoke should hate him very much, but he didn't expect him to abstain.

Xiao Yunhai said: "I had a phone call with Li Guoke, but I have no other contact."

Hu Yaoting said: "After the death of Mr. Li at the beginning of the year, the Li family is not as good as before. If it weren't for Mr. Li's many high-ranking people, I am afraid that Li Guoke's steel company will be eaten up. If he does this, I think It should be a show of favor. Tian Junhao's matter is completely self-inflicted. Li Guoke obviously doesn't want to intervene in the grievances between the Tian family and you."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Maybe you are right. At the beginning Li Guoke called to apologize to me for his daughter. I think at that time, he had already anticipated the current outcome of the Li family. Li Guoke was able to develop the Guoke Iron and Steel Group to this He is indeed a formidable character."

Yu Hai smiled and said, "What can you do? Compared to you, whether it's Li Guoke or us, the difference is really not a star. Once 3D movies become popular all over the world, I'm afraid you will not be far away from being the world's richest man. "

Xiao Yunhai said: "I haven't said anything about this matter yet. Uncle, Sister Hu, if I rent a theater from Yanhuang Cinemas according to the cooperation method of Xinhua Cinemas, do you think they will agree?"

Yu Hai thought for a while and said, "Boss Hu and I only hold 20.00% of the shares. Since Li Guoke has abstained from voting, there should be no problem with his 15.00%. The state controls [-]% of the shares. You can Go to Vice Minister Xiao Yuanyang to help you get it done. So as long as there is another shareholder who agrees, it will be fine."

Xiao Yunhai said: "The remaining shareholders who own 50.00% of the five shares, whose work is easier to do?"

Hu Yaoting smiled and said, "Don't you have a good relationship with Wu Yifa? He has a cousin named Wu Chenglue, who is a shareholder of our Yanhuang Cinemas and holds [-]% of the shares."

Xiao Yunhai chuckled, and said, "That's great. I'll call my brother and Wu Yifa separately and ask them to invite everyone out tonight. I'll invite them to dinner and talk about this matter."

Hu Yaoting smiled and said: "With your background, wealth and status, I believe everyone will give you this face. After all, they didn't lose anything. On the contrary, they got 50.00% more profit. To be honest, I am right now. I'm a little interested in the 3D theater. Yunhai, when will your film be made, can I have a look at the effect first?"

Xiao Yunhai shook his head, and said: "That's not allowed. "2012" must be kept strictly secret before it is released, and no one can see it in advance."

Hu Yaoting rolled her eyes and said, "You are too stingy. If the movie can really shock me, I might agree to build 3D in other theaters of New China Cinemas."

Xiao Yunhai said proudly: "Sister Hu, let me tell you that although 3D movies cannot completely replace 2D movies in the future, such super commercial blockbusters are absolutely inseparable from 3D. If the two of you change your mind before October 35, The price is still 100 billion US dollars. If it exceeds this time, the price will at least double, maybe it will reach [-] million US dollars. Hehe, it depends on how you two choose?"

Yu Hai and Hu Yaoting looked at each other, and there was a trace of hesitation in their eyes.Obviously, Xiao Yunhai's words made the hearts of the two of them thump.
