Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2207 special candidate

The asking price of Sony and Lin Daoqiu is 28 billion, which is obviously far from enough to make Coca-Cola excited.

However, compared with Lin Daoqiu, Sony has a huge advantage, because they have just acquired Columbia Records, and they already have a basis for dealing with the other party.

Therefore, in Akio Morita's view, it should not be difficult for Sony to buy the shares in Coca-Cola, and it only takes a while to win the deal.

Moreover, in collecting information about Columbia Pictures before, Akio Morita did not hear that anyone was interested in or even made a move for this film company. In his opinion, no one will compete with them in the short term except Sony. .

But what Akio Morita never expected was that Lin Daoqiu would suddenly pop out at this time.

It's just that Sony doesn't know about Lin Daoqiu's acquisition of Columbia Pictures, so Akio Morita has not made any moves against Lin Daoqiu. At present, the acquisition battle is still in a very quiet state.

Putting the matter of Columbia Pictures aside, Lin Daoqiu believes that there should be no big changes until February next year. After all, Sony is not in a hurry to acquire this film company immediately.

And even if Sony makes any moves, Lin Daoqiu believes that Victor Kaufman will report to him as soon as possible.

After all, Lin Daoqiu knew very well that his current role to Victor Kaufman and the others was to raise prices. As a group of shrewd businessmen, they would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.

The casting of "Spider-Man" has basically been completed, but the preparations for "Captain America" ​​have not yet begun.

Compared with "Spider-Man", "Captain America" ​​is a typical American-themed movie. Although it is not as popular as "Spider-Man", Lin Daoqiu intends to distinguish it from "Spider-Man". A play was filmed.

Asking Richardson to sort out and send over a bunch of materials of age-appropriate stars, Lin Daoqiu began to choose the leading actor for "Captain America".

After searching around, Lin Daoqiu found a very interesting person inside.

The other party was 24 years old at this time, and looked a little bohemian, but Lin Daoqiu knew that this guy's acting skills were great, and his appearance at this time was very different from the one in later generations.

Although he didn't know what time had done to this guy, but the more Lin Daoqiu saw him, the more he liked him, so he had a bold idea. He decided to call this guy over to see if he could play "Captain America".

Originally, Lin Daoqiu never thought about how perfect the filming of "Captain America" ​​was, and he even planned to remove some of the main themes in it.

However, compared with these, Lin Daoqiu felt that it was definitely an extremely bold decision to recruit this person to play the protagonist of "Captain America" ​​in the eyes of future generations, but Lin Daoqiu was really prepared to do so.

This time the meeting was not in the coffee shop, but in Lin Daoqiu's office.

After someone contacted that guy's agent, when the other party learned that it was Lin Daoqiu who wanted to meet his artist, the agent started yelling after hanging up the phone.

"Vincent, are you crazy?"

Nicolas Cage found it very strange. After answering a phone call, his manager suddenly became very excited, and then started jumping around there. Those who didn't know thought he was taking something.

"Cage, do you know? We are developed, and we will be developed this time."

Vincent walked up to Nicolas Cage and started yelling, without his usual calmness.

People who don't know Vincent think he usually looks like this, but Nicolas Cage knows very well that his manager is definitely not what he is now. He is almost a dull and honest person who does everything. He is well-organized, but he is a little too rigid, so Nicolas Cage doesn't like him very much.

But now he suddenly seemed to go crazy, which made Nicolas Cage feel that something was wrong.

"Dude, don't get too excited now, what happened, sit down and talk slowly, don't be so emotional, okay?"

Nicolas Cage pulled the other party to the sofa and sat down, then looked at Vincent nervously.

Seeing Nicolas Cage's nervous look, Vincent couldn't help but started laughing out loud, which confused the other party, let alone what happened to his manager.

"You prepare yourself mentally first, and after you are mentally prepared, I will tell you what happened."

Although he didn't know why Vincent said that, Nicolas Cage still took a deep breath according to the other party's request, and then said.

"I'm mentally prepared, you can tell me what happened now."

Vincent nodded, then he looked at Nicolas Cage and whispered.

"Have you ever heard of the company MGM?

When asked by Vincent, Nicolas Cage immediately rolled his eyes. You must know how there are people in Hollywood who don't know the company MGM.

You must know that after Lin Daoqiu took over MGM, the film company has almost been completely reborn, and it has become the most popular film company in Hollywood.

Some people have even predicted before that under the leadership of Lin Daoqiu in 20 years, MGM is likely to become the largest film company in Hollywood, and will step on Paramount and Universal. It's just a matter of time.

Vincent asked himself such a stupid thing, Nicolas Cage didn't know how to answer the other party, he just rolled his eyes.

"Of course I've heard of this company, and I also know that their boss, Lin Daoqiu, is a world-renowned movie tycoon, but does this have anything to do with what you said?"

Vincent's smile became wider and wider, and he said quickly.

"The reason why I ask this is because the person who just called is from MGM. They asked me to take you to MGM tomorrow to meet Mr. Lin. Do you think this is something to be happy about?" things."

After Nicolas Cage listened to Vincent's words, he didn't react at all and just stared blankly at him.

Vincent originally thought that after he finished talking with Nicolas Cage, the other party should show a very excited look, but at this time, Nicolas Cage's reaction seemed to be very different from what he thought.

"What's wrong with you? Isn't this news exciting enough for you?"

After Vincent finished speaking, he put his hand in front of Nicolas Cage and shook it. He really couldn't understand why the other party didn't respond at all.

But just a moment later, Nicolas Cage suddenly became crazy, and he even picked up Vincent and ran around the house shouting.
