Start by trimming cow hooves

After negotiating the price, all that's left is to go through the acquisition process.

O'Neal is determined to hold 10% of the shares and invest more than 40 million US dollars to become a small shareholder in the team.

In the future, he will be responsible for managing the Warriors and will receive an additional annual salary of US$2 million. If the team achieves good results, he will also receive a large bonus.

It doesn't matter if it's money or not.

Although O'Neal is not as wealthy as Suri, he is not short of money for a long time.

This time he took the initiative to hook up with Suri just because he wanted to devote himself to the basketball career he loved. Throughout his career, he accumulated about 200 million US dollars, enough to live comfortably for a lifetime.

As the team responsible for the acquisition completed a preliminary review of the Warriors' assets and accounts, the news was quickly released to the media.

All of a sudden.

The Warriors' fame skyrocketed, making headlines on many sports news pages around the world.

Even many outsiders have paid more attention to the Warriors because of Suri's acquisition.

Outside of basketball circles, the news had limited impact.

On the contrary, at the end of May, the news that Suri officially established "Big Orange Film Company" and announced an investment of 15 million US dollars in the filming of "Death is Coming" made many people talk about it and thought the company logo of the cartoon fat cat was very cute.

Especially in the Hollywood area.

A group of traditional film companies failed to suppress Netflix, mainly because it broadcasted through the Internet, completely bypassing the channels they controlled, leaving the old oligarchs unable to do anything but stare.

This time he started to get involved in movies, which was like falling into a wolf's den. I wanted to give him a showdown and let Suri, a 23-year-old super-rich Chinese-American, know what it means to be separated from each other like a mountain.

As soon as the news of the filming of the movie was released, rumors began to circulate.

It is said that several theater chains joined forces to boycott Suri, privately decided not to purchase "Death Comes", and reduced the number of films to zero.

Suri doesn't tolerate them.

After learning the news, he immediately began to rectify the business order.

On the one hand, find someone to announce this matter and make it a big deal, while at the same time attracting attention for "Death Is Coming".

On the other hand, after a few days of news fermenting, Suri wrote a "little essay" on Facebook.

It is pointed out that it is because of monopoly that many good movies, good directors, and good actors cannot achieve the results they deserve. The right to choose what movies to watch should be given to the audience.

Finally, he also pointed out that if these theaters really join forces to block themselves, they will have to consider releasing "Death is Coming" and other movies through an online platform in a cheap and convenient way.

If you have any grudges, report them on the spot, without any ambiguity.

As soon as the news came out.

Not only were many theater chain owners frightened, but even several traditional film and television giants came forward and accused Suri of disrupting market order.

In order to reduce the impact on Netflix Entertainment, Suri did not specify that it would use Netflix Entertainment's platform. However, the stock price of Netflix's parent company still rose by 3 points, indicating that investors are optimistic about the "online theater chain" business. model.

Someone quickly found Suri through director David Lynch, who filmed "The Walking Dead".

The main reason is that it has become an online TV platform and online theater chain. It is indeed very feasible. It has great temptation for independent directors and low-cost movies. It is really likely to affect the traditional theater chain. Business……

At this moment.

Director David Lynch sat on the edge of the swimming pool and sighed to Suri, who was wearing swimming trunks next to him:

"You are too impulsive. If you really launch this new business, you will be an enemy of the entire Hollywood."

Suri smiled and said:

"They don't want to leave a window for me, so don't blame me for tearing off the roof. When I was building Netflix Entertainment, some people said that I was an enemy of the entire Hollywood. Now isn't it pretty good? I made more than 20 yuan in half a year. Billions of dollars.”

Instead of reflecting on yourself, blame others.

Of course he knows that directly launching an online theater chain would offend people too much. Taking food from other people's bowls would easily arouse public anger.

There is a saying that "it is difficult to gain weight by eating alone". If you really dare to lift the table, you will often end up with no good end.

The short article I posted yesterday may seem like an understatement, but in fact I have already communicated with CEO Terenz, CEO Reed Hastings of the parent company, and others, hoping to take advantage of the mediation opportunity to launch an improved version of the "online theater." Wire".

That is to say, through negotiations with traditional theater chains, we can reach a tacit understanding that after the film is offline from the theater chain, it can continue to be paid for on-demand viewing on the online platform. This will have little impact on traditional theater chains and can increase the income of film and television companies.

If it hadn't been for rumors circulating this time that several theater chains wanted to suppress him, Suri wouldn't have had the chance to take advantage of it.

As soon as he learned the news, he felt that he could take advantage of the opportunity to make a big fuss, so he chose to seize the opportunity that came to his door and first proposed that he wanted to "completely flip the roof."

Director David Lynch is in his sixties, has many friends in Hollywood, and has been entrusted to act as a lobbyist.

However, he now relies on Suri for a living, so of course he stands by Suri and thinks about him.

You can probably understand the meaning of lifting the roof. Director Lynch reminded:

"An executive at Regal told me that the news was just a misunderstanding. They didn't mean to target you. Maybe you can take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits, such as increasing the number of films for "Death Is Coming."

After hearing this, Su Rui couldn't hold back for a moment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Mainly because I suddenly thought that after seemingly taking the initiative to invade, it suddenly turned into a miserable defensive battle?

The lethality of online theater chains is simply fatal to traditional theater chains and film and television giants, and the entire industry chain may collapse.

It was precisely because it was too important that Su Rui only dared to scare people and never thought about actually launching this business to avoid completely confronting these giants and losing their room for maneuver.

Everyone is here to make a fortune, but whenever there is an opportunity, there is no need to fight to the death.

Regal Group is one of the three major theater chains in the United States. It found Suri through director David Lynch, and it was considered a proactive show of goodwill. The so-called increase in film schedules was just a matter of spending some channels to buy Ping An.

For Suri, a super rich man who is only in his twenties, people dare not bet that he does not have the guts to launch an online cinema.

After all, several major media groups also tried to block it last year, but in the end it was noisy but little rain. Now the number of paying members of Netflix Entertainment is reaching 10 million.

The main thing is to be willful.

It just so happens that young people particularly like Suri. Yesterday, his short essay caused several movie theaters to be scolded. If you just browse through the comments, you will find complaints with high likes.

An organization conducted an overnight survey and found that 87% of young people are happy to stay at home and watch new movies on their computers. They can watch them while lying in bed to avoid being disturbed by the surrounding audience.

In the Internet age, people are getting lazier and lazier. It’s not worth spending money to go to the cinema, but watching dramas at home is really comfortable.

The results of the survey cannot mean anything, but they are enough to prove that netizens may side with Suri if things get too big.

After summing up, the executives of several theater chains felt that there was no need to take risks and help the film and television giants suppress Suri's Daju Film Company. They gave up in the blink of an eye when they should have given up. They lamented that times have really changed.

Even ten years ago, no film company dared to go against the theater alliance...
