Chapter 874 Hollywood Movies Enter China

Originally, Wu Jianye thought that he would stay in Xishan Villa for the past few days, but after receiving a call from Liu Jianshe, he went out for a while.

After several months of discussions, China Film Group finally decided to set up its own movie theater chain, and this time Liu Jianshe approached Wu Jianye for this matter.

"Junior brother, there is no problem with the company now, the rest is funds!"

The place where Wu Jianye and Liu Jianshe met was still the restaurant of Dai Zhen's family. In the private room, Liu Jianshe said straight to the point.

"There is no problem on my side. As long as the procedures are complete, I will make the payment immediately!" Wu Jianye did not refuse. Being able to participate in the establishment of China Film's theater chain is very good news for Tangting Culture.

According to the previous discussion between Wu Jianye and Liu Jianshe, the two parties are going to re-establish a new joint venture company, in which China Film will hold 60% of the shares and Tangting Culture will hold 40% of the shares.

In the early stage, the new company invested 6000 million yuan, but the capital investment was 4000 million yuan from Tangting Culture, and [-] million yuan from China Film Group!
Wu Jianye also approved of this investment, saying that there is no problem.

Liu Jianshe said with a smile: "The formalities are all easy to handle, but this time we hope to get the support of Fengge Cinemas during the construction of the new theater."

In Liu Jianshe's narration, Wu Jianye knew that China Film also wanted to build a new multi-functional projection hall, not the simple hall in China now, which means that all standards are in accordance with the current domestic Fengge theater line style.

However, for this style of theater, China Film has no management experience, nor does it have construction experience, so I hope to get the help of Fengge Cinemas.

"That's no problem. I'll introduce the builder of Fengge Theater Line to China Film Group. China Film Group only needs to send supervisors!" Wu Jianye also has no objection to this.

Previously, the projects of Fengge Cinema, Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group in the mainland were all undertaken by Dale Construction, a subsidiary of Yiwang Group.

Now Dale Construction has been the leading large-scale construction company in China after years of undertaking the construction of land squares in China and the major buildings of several major groups.

With Xiangjiang as the base, the entire project of Dale Construction has now spread all over Southeast Asia. However, according to Wu Jianye's order, Dale Construction has also established a branch in China to put its main business in China.

Under Yiwang Group, it now owns Standard Chartered Bank, Yuzhi Investment, Qingyao Toys, Yumin Travel, Sanmiao Comics, Shouhua Insurance, Dale Construction, Xiangjiang Shipping, Yisu Heavy Industry and other major companies.

They have already begun to seize the domestic market.

Needless to say, Standard Chartered Bank, with the liberalization of financial controls on Standard Chartered Bank in China, Standard Chartered Bank has relied on its strong capital advantage to expand domestically. Now all first- and second-tier cities in China have branches of Standard Chartered Bank.

Yuzhi Investment manages the investment of Yiwang Group in Xiangjiang, and also participates in various investments as the bridgehead of Yiwang Group in the global financial market. However, the most important business is the global investment in Wu Jianye's memory. The transformation of the financial industry is harvesting all kinds of leeks in the global market. At this time, Yuzhi Investment has long been one of the most famous investment companies in the world.

Although the reputation of Qingyao Toys is not obvious, it also controls nearly 60% of Xiangjiang's toy share at this time. It owns all the production business of Toy Biz Toys in Asia, and has the distribution rights of all kinds of toys under Toy Biz Toys, as well as the copyright of superhero toys under Marvel Studios.

This is equivalent to Qingyao Toys owning the management and production rights in Asia of various toys of all entertainment companies under Wu Jianye.

At the same time, Qingyao Toys also has a very large investment, that is, Qingyao Toys is now the largest shareholder of Xie Ruilin Jewelry, one of the four major gold houses in Hong Kong!
This involves the grievances between Xie Wanqing, CEO of Qingyao Toys, and Xie Ruilin Jewelry. There is no need to go into details about the various problems between Wu Jianye and Xie Wanqing. With huge investment and financial support, he used a series of financial techniques to acquire most of the shares of Xie Ruilin Jewelry, and became the largest shareholder of Xie Ruilin Jewelry.

Successfully rectified her mother's name, at this time Xie Wan had already become one of the most famous businesswomen in Xiangjiang early on.

The development of Yumin tourism is also rapid. First, they started a visa business with the help of the immigration wave in Xiangjiang, and made a lot of money. Then, with the rapid development of domestic tourism, they also entered the domestic market. Now they are in the southern and other coastal cities. Development is also very rapid.

Sanmiao Comics is already the largest comic company in Southeast Asia at this time, but compared with RB's comic industry, there is still a gap.

However, Sanmiao Comics is no longer limited to producing local comics in Xiangjiang. Now Sanmiao Comics' leading work is a comic called "Resident Evil". This comic has helped Sanmiao Comics successfully enter the European and American markets.

Shouhua Insurance's business is relatively extensive, but it is more of a cooperation with Standard Chartered Bank. With the influence of Standard Chartered Bank, it has launched various insurances throughout Southeast Asia. In the ranking list of the global insurance industry last year, Shouhua Insurance ranked 18th in the world!
At this time, Shouhua Insurance is already discussing with China the possibility of entering the domestic market.

But this is destined to be a lengthy negotiation process.

The development of Xiangjiang Shipping is slowly developing from the previous transportation business to the manufacturing industry, thanks to the acquisition of the shipyard when the Soviet Union disintegrated.

The same is true for Yisu Heavy Industry, but Yisu Heavy Industry is more about cooperation with domestic heavy industries. The two parties jointly build factories. Yisu Heavy Industry provides money and personnel, and domestic factories provide land and policies. period.

And Yisu Heavy Industry's largest cooperative company in China is actually the Far East Group!

As for the Dale Building, it has been introduced just now. In the past few years, it basically monopolized all the construction projects of the entire Wujian Ye Department.

However, as Hongkong Land established its own construction company, it is bound to take away a wave of business belonging to Dale Construction. However, this is a matter between Zhou Tao and Yan Wen, and Wu Jianye did not participate in the specific management. .

Liu Jianshe was also very happy to see Wu Jianye so happy. The establishment of the China Film Hall Courtyard Line this time is a very important attempt for China Film Group. There are also various voices inside China Film Group. If it is not successful, it will cause a series of chain reactions.

Liu Jianshe didn't want to see this kind of reaction.

"There is one more thing to tell you!" Liu Jianshe said with a serious expression after taking a sip of the tea in his cup.

"What's the matter?" Wu Jianye asked.

"China Radio and Television and China Film have already said that next year China Film will be responsible for introducing Hollywood movies!" Liu Jianshe said.

The matter of importing Hollywood movies into China has actually been discussed all the time, and it seems that a decision has been made now!
Although the Hollywood movie "Jurassic Park" directed by Wu Jianye had already been released in the mainland, but that was only achieved by relying on Wu Jianye's own influence in China. This time it is different, now it is Implementing this matter into the policy has a different meaning!

Moreover, this policy is also different from another time and space. In another time and space, my country will actually only introduce a Hollywood movie "The Fugitive" next year, which won a domestic box office of 2580 million.

It was not until 1995 that Hollywood movies were officially introduced. There are also six films, namely "True Lies", "Ultimate Detective 3", "The Lion King", "Speed", "Jedi Men", "Forrest Gump" ", the highest box office of these six films is "True Lies" with a box office of 1.02 million, and the lowest box office is "Forrest Gump", with a box office of only 1960 million.

This is why Wu Jianye always said that although the so-called art films are highly hyped, they may not be able to get too high a box office if they are released in China.

The artistic level of "Forrest Gump" is definitely higher than that of "True Lies", but the box office difference between the two parties is nearly ten times!
This kind of film can only get a super high box office in Europe and the United States, and it is because of the cultural differences between the two places.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Then I have a few movies that I want to recommend to China Film Group!"

The trend of introducing Hollywood movies in China is already irreversible, so Wu Jianye naturally wants to find the way that best suits his interests.

In fact, Wu Jianye now has the qualifications to discuss this matter with China Film Group.

There are both Wu Jianye's personal influence in it, as well as Phantom's relationship with the country over the years, plus the old people in the domestic high-level already know the relationship between Phantom and Wu Jianye, so now Wu Jianye wants to There is still no problem with the main point policy!

Liu Jianshe said with a smile: "Don't worry, the TV station has already announced that next year China will introduce six Hollywood movies, and four of them will be given to Phantom!"

Although Liu Jianshe didn't know the true relationship between Wu Jianye and Phantom, he also knew that Wu Jianye had always cooperated with Phantom in Hollywood, so as soon as Wu Jianye spoke, Liu Jianshe knew Wu Jianye's plan!
Wu Jianye naturally had no objection to being able to get the share of the four movies.

"Okay, when I go back, I'll contact Matthew Murphy of Phantom Pictures and ask him to choose a movie!" Wu Jianye said bluntly.

"I won't say much about the review, I believe you know it well!" After Liu Jianshe solved the funding problem of the theater chain, he also seemed very relaxed.

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Don't worry about this!"

After finishing talking with Liu Jianshe, Wu Jianye called Matthew Murphy at Xishan Villa.

The first movie to be determined is actually the movie "The Lion King" that was released a long time ago.

In another time and space, this movie had a domestic box office of 4130 million, but now, Wu Jianye is confident that it will exceed this figure. The most important reason is because of the appearance of Fengge Cinemas!

Now it is very different from another time and space!
The next thing that was settled was "True Lies", which also appeared earlier than another time and space.

But it was also because of this conversation with Liu Jianshe that Wu Jianye remembered the movie "Bad Boys". It is a newcomer among newcomers.

But Wu Jianye knew about Will Smith's achievements in the future. In the field of Hollywood commercial films, Will Smith can be regarded as the most successful black actor.

Although when Wu Jianye was reborn, Shi Huang's vision for filming plummeted due to various reasons, but it is undeniable that at the end of the 90s and the first decade of the 21st century, Shi Huang was the guarantee of movie box office.

Classic movies such as "Jedi Men" series, "Independence Day", "Men in Black" series, "Mechanical Enemy", "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", "I am Legend" and so on established his position in Hollywood.

After thinking about this, Wu Jianye immediately asked Matthew Murphy to contact Will Smith, and then asked Matthew Murphy to go to the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild to ask if there was a script record for a story like "Bad Boys", and at the same time inquire in Hollywood Is there any screenwriter writing this similar story.

At the same time, Matthew Murphy was asked to contact a director named Michael Bay.

Like Shi Huang, Bang Bei is also a newcomer in Hollywood at this time, and "Jedi Men" is his first movie!
I believe that neither of these two newcomers will refuse the olive branch thrown to them by Phantom Films.

As for Wu Jianye's request, Matthew Murphy naturally implemented it immediately. As for why Wu Jianye knew these two people and such a story, he didn't inquire about it. Wu Jianye had used countless successful experiences before, Tell Matthew Murphy that there will be nothing wrong with following Wu Jianye's plan.

And Wu Jianye has also decided that if the series of "Jedi Men" has not been written by someone, then he will come up with the script of this movie himself. If someone writes it, then it is very simple, just buy it. up!

Sometimes, when you pay attention to one thing, you will have a lot of divergent thinking. Now Wu Jianye thinks of Shi Huang, thinks of the explosion, thinks of "Jedi Men", and naturally thinks of a lot About the situation of Hollywood filmmakers in China.

Then Wu Jianye ordered Matthew Murphy to find Nicolas Cage.

At the end of the 90s and the beginning of the 21st century, the most movies of the Hollywood star were released in China, so it must be the movie of Nicolas Cage!

This master is very well-known in China, and "Into the Deadly Island" is his first movie in China!
At the same time, there is another handsome guy in Hollywood, Tom Cruise!

His "Mission: Impossible" series is also a long-lasting series.

Although Wu Jianye had a very unhappy fight with the Jewish department in Hollywood before, but I believe that with the influence of Phantom Media now, these people are enough to let these people give up these unhappiness!
In the film industry, there are also no permanent enemies, only permanent interests!

Even if Tom Cruise is unwilling to sign a film contract with Phantom Pictures, Wu Jianye can definitely find someone else to star in the "Mission: Impossible" series!
What Hollywood will never lack is handsome men and beautiful women!
Whether it is Nicolas Cage or Tom Cruise, they are now famous actors in Hollywood. It is not easy to sign a film contract with them, but it does not mean that there is no hope for Phantom Pictures. On the contrary, there is still hope for Phantom Pictures. big!
This is the influence of Phantom Films in Hollywood now!
