Early the next morning, in the chairman's office of Lucasfilm, Yin Jun met Lucas and Spielberg, who had been a little anxious recently. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Both of them were bearded, and they looked quite artistic, but their faces were a little haggard.

"Jun, you've been having a good time lately, look at us, how tired are we?" Lucas and Yin Jun hugged each other before glaring at Yin Jun dissatisfied.

Compared with Lucas, Spielberg was a little more restrained, and hugged Yin Jun with a smile, "My friend, welcome to the United States again!"

The three of them sat down in separate seats, and after the thirty-year-old secretary brought them coffee and milk tea, she closed the door and walked out.

Yin Jun has been here twice, so she can remember Yin Jun's hobbies.

"I said George, this female secretary of yours is really a capable person!" Yin Jun said, "It would be great if I could find such a caring person." ”

"Forget it, just because she's so capable, my wife is already protesting. Lucas sighed.

"She's not pretty, just like that, your wife has to worry about it?" Yin Jun asked in surprise.

"Jun, you're young and don't understand things between men and women. Lucas said in a tone of a passer-by: "To the point where we are, what beautiful woman doesn't have it? It's just that the appearance is just a very superficial thing, and if a woman can really move people's hearts, it will make men like it." She doesn't have to be pretty, but she must be able to understand a man's heart. A woman like Anna has the capital to attract men, and in fact, I admire her very much!"

Yin Jun nodded slowly.

In love, Lucas is not a good person, he has been divorced many times, and in the end he married a black woman.

Including Spielberg next to him, too, and the truck driver.

Maybe this is the life of geniuses, they always don't want to be bound by a woman, they always have such and such thoughts, that's why there are so many points and combinations.

"Don't talk about that. Spielberg saw that they were just talking about those boring things, and he was anxious and said, "Let's think about how we can get through the current difficulties." ”

"What do you think?" Yin Jun asked.

"Of course, we have three countermeasures. Spielberg said, "The first is to compromise with Paramount, we put forward about 12% of the conditions, I believe Michael Eisner will agree; the second is to give 55% of the benefits, so that one of the three major theater chains can agree to give us the screen; the second is to find an alliance of small and medium-sized theater chains, and sign a long-term screening agreement with them, so that after they get the benefits, they can spread our stall bigger." ”

"Then did you decide in the end?" Yin Jun said.

"We're still leaning towards the first one. Because although Paramount is the most aggressive, their distribution network is also the most complete. Spielberg said, "As long as the first part of Raiders of the Lost Ark is famous, then the second part will no longer be constrained by Paramount." When the time comes, other theaters will definitely be willing to cooperate with us. ”

"That's what we think, but you're the biggest investor, so naturally you have to listen to what you think. Lucas said.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" claims to have invested a total of 30 million, but in fact there is only 25 million in cash, 20 million is Yin Jun's, 5 million is Zou Wenhuai's, and the remaining 5 million shares are Lucas's investment quota in a package of scripts, personnel, etc.

Yin Jun alone accounted for two-thirds of the investment, so they had to be Yin Jun's consent before they could implement this plan.

That's the spirit of the contract they follow.

"I don't think it's a good idea. Yin Jun shook his head, "Paramount, this is bullying, I don't think I can get used to them." ”

"The situation is stronger than the people. To succeed, the initial suffering must be endured. Spielberg pushed his glasses, as if I had already seen through them.

Yin Jun knew that this was a ruthless person.

Don't look gentle and elegant on weekdays, but in fact, he is very calculating.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have eaten a shocking dividend of $250 million on "Jurassic Park"!

Even the truck driver, on "Titanic", did not eat so many box office dividends, only when he arrived in "Avatar", did he break through this number.

This time, Paramount offended Lucas and Spielberg to death, so I can't help but think about how to repay them in the future.

But Yin Jun thought farther than they did.

Although "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is not a movie made by himself, it is also the first movie he invested in Hollywood.

Therefore, Yin Jun must fight a good battle and let people know that he is very capable and not bullied arbitrarily.

That's why he hurried to Hollywood to discuss countermeasures with Lucas and Spielberg.

"I have a friend and I'm going to talk to him about it, maybe he has a way to solve it. In the midst of deep groaning, Yin Jun said like this.

"Who?" Spielberg perked.

"I'll talk about it when I'm done with him. Yin Jun kept it secret: "Give me three days, if it doesn't work, we'll let Paramount take advantage." ”

"Good!"

Spielberg and Lucas looked at each other and nodded.

Three days, they can still afford to wait.

Who is Yin Jun's friend?

Naturally, it was the Lei Shidong he carried out of the fire.

Lei Shidong is now just a middle-aged man on the way to entrepreneurship, and he is running his own national entertainment company, which will later have 120 movie theaters and more than 800 screens The seventh largest theater chain in North America is still only a 58-screen medium-sized theater chain with 205 screens.

Lei Shidong is a native of Boston, so after he retired, he naturally returned to Boston to start a business.

It was he who founded the National Entertainment Company in Boston.

And Massachusetts, where Boston is located, many people don't know where it is, in fact, it is above New York State, and it was one of the 13 states when the United States was founded, and one of the Stars and Stripes belongs to them.

As we all know, the essence of the United States is in the Northeast, and Massachusetts happens to be one of the richest and most prosperous states in the United States.

Boston is also the fifth-largest city in the United States, and before Silicon Valley flourished, it could be ranked fourth.

Lei Shidong's National Entertainment Company, 30 of the 58 movie theaters are in Massachusetts, and 28 have come directly to New York State.

In the next few years, that is, when Lei Shidong developed vigorously.

He would open his theater chain all over Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other northeastern regions, making a lot of money.

It is precisely because he made a lot of money in theaters that Lei Shidong began to watch Viacom, and gradually achieved his entertainment empire.

Before coming to the United States, Yin Jun called him, and the two met at 6 p.m. at a steakhouse next to Hollywood.

Although Lei Shidong's business is in the northeast of the United States, Hollywood in the United States is the center of entertainment, so he spends half of the year here.

Anyway, Americans are used to flying in the same way as we are in cars.

As Yin Jun's assistants, Huo Jianning and Ding Linxiang both knew Yin Jun's plans, in fact, they still had some questions about this.

When sitting in an Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills at noon, Huo Jianning mentioned, "Jun Shao, I think I need to remind you that in the United States, although you saved this Lei Shidong, he will definitely not do everything to repay you like the Chinese people, at most he will only do what he can." ”

"I know. Yin Jun smiled, "You want to say that Lei Shidong is very likely to dare not offend Paramount, so he can't help me?"

"Isn't this clear?" Ding Linxiang said beside her, "How can the influence of the seven Hollywood giants on the theater chain be comparable to those film companies in Xiangjiang? Back then, they dared to hand over the theater to the screening of "Seven Days of Wrong Love", didn't Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest treat them well? But Hollywood is different, the Seven have formed a simple monopoly alliance, and their influence is great. ”

Ding Linxiang is much bolder and more spicy than Tian Jiachun, and her vision of seeing things is also very comprehensive.

Especially after half a year of sales and advertising in "Kirin Weekly", her ability has been greatly improved.

Now in the advertisement of "Qilin Daily", Le Yiling also designated Ding Linxiang to plan first, and then do the first step with Yang Qinsheng.

Yang Qinsheng was a little depressed, but he couldn't stand the fact that behind Ding Linxiang was Le Yiling, and he didn't want to conflict with Ding Linxiang.

Listening to what she said now, Yin Jun really felt that talents were really constantly trained, and Ding Linxiang had grown a little bit more than when she first joined the company.

With a slight bow, Yin Jun said: "You are thinking about it well, but you are only thinking about the industry itself, and you have not considered Lei Shidong as a person." In my opinion, Lei Shidong's ambition in his career is not just a theater owner, he may have huge ambitions for the entire entertainment industry. ”

Huge ambitions?

The two looked at each other, and said in their hearts that you have only been in contact with Lei Shidong a few times, how do you know that he has huge ambitions?

Yin Jun smiled and said nothing, he couldn't tell the two that the future Lei Shidong was one of the only four giants in Hollywood, and his status was more than a step higher than today's Paramount.

Even Paramount, which seems to be a behemoth now, will be one of the cornerstones of Lei Shidong's empire in the future.
