The god of the world

Chapter 222 Who Can Not Love Hollywood

Netflix executives were relieved to see Lionsgate resisting the temptation.

Lionsgate has always been regarded as a taboo by them, how can they be willing to be targeted by others.

After such an incident, Netflix CEO Hastings did not dare to sit still, and quickly signed an exclusive licensing contract with Lionsgate Films, and has the first right to acquire Lionsgate Films' production business.

This decision made by Hastings will also be regarded as the key reason why Netflix fell from the altar in the future.

But at the moment, Netflix is ​​still praised by the market, and the stock price has also risen slightly, which shows that the outside world praises Netflix's action.

Previously, due to the cession of the film arrangement ratio, Disney and other five majors were inevitably a little upset.

At this time, the five major players began to watch the show.

Netflix is ​​an established streaming media company with a peak market value of more than 3000 billion US dollars.

Today, it also has a market value of about 1500 billion U.S. dollars, and a global paying user base of 2 million+. It is a well-deserved leader in the streaming media field.

Disney+ launched by Disney is just trying to catch up.

Abandoning the acquisition of Lionsgate does not mean that Lin Shen will give up entering the global streaming media market.

It is undeniable that Eagle Sauce's talents in this area have always been among the top in the world.

Companies like Lionsgate, which have Netflix as their backing, are indeed not very easy to acquire.

However, small and medium-sized independent film production companies can hardly resist the purchase price offered by Guanhai Group.

Under Lin Shen's instruction, the acquisition team of Guanhai Group quickly settled the board of directors of Lantern Entertainment and completed the wholly-owned acquisition.

Compared with Lionsgate, the price of Lantern Entertainment is too cheap, only 5 million US dollars.

Lantern entertainment may be unfamiliar to many people.

But when it comes to its predecessor, Weinstein Pictures, many people will suddenly realize.

The Weinstein Film Company was founded by Harvey Weinstein and his brother Bob Weinstein.

The former is the founder of Hollywood's red sofa rules, and is touted as the "God of Hollywood PR" by big cousins, Aunt May and other Hollywood queens.

Although this old man was notorious and ended up in prison.

It is undeniable that this tycoon who has dominated Hollywood for 30 years is indeed powerful in Hollywood.

After the bankruptcy of Weinstein Films, it was successfully bid by a private equity company and changed its name to Lantern Entertainment.

Without the soul of Harvey Weinstein, the company has been half-dead, barely surviving on some of the copyrights accumulated earlier.

Knowing that a Huaguo consortium was interested, the equity company cashed out 5 million U.S. dollars and left the market without hesitation.

The transaction was carried out very low-key, until the two parties officially announced the acquisition news, which caused an uproar.

After the executive team dispatched by Lin Shen took over Lantern Entertainment, it quickly changed its name to Dimension Pictures, a subsidiary of Weinstein Pictures.

The name alone is more compelling than Weinstein and Lantern.

The core executives of the brand-new Dimension Films are all domestic elites.

Disney and other giants were also a little helpless, but they didn't expect to take advantage of the Huaguo consortium.

The funds lying on the account of Dimension Pictures are as high as 50 billion US dollars.

This is still capital injection in addition to the acquisition money.

The production budget of a general medium-budget film is around 8000 million US dollars.

The working capital that Lin Shen injected into Dimension Pictures is enough to shoot 60 movies!
For low-cost films, hundreds of films can be shot.

What Disney can do is to restrict the flow of elite talents in the industry to Dimension Pictures.

Similarly, they retain talents, and the labor cost also increases a lot.

The so-called talents refer to producers, leading actors, and directors.

Especially the director, the most important.

Of course, Disney and the others didn't dare to make it too obvious.

After all, the AMC Group, which controls the largest theater chain in the United States, is not just for nothing.

If they really play like this, they can't take advantage of it.

As for talent?

As early as the cumulative consumption amount exceeded 2000 billion, Lin Shen received the second phase reward issued by the system.

[Hollywood Gift Pack]: Including two world-class special effects production companies and animation production companies, optional 5 director template cards, optional 5 actor template cards.

As we all know, the difference between China and Hollywood is the special effects.

The special effects of many domestic blockbusters are simply unwatchable.

On the one hand, Hollywood has always been at the forefront of the industry.

Many special effects technologies in China are learned from Hollywood.

It is conceivable how much technology will lag behind.

Many key core technologies have to be entrusted to Hollywood to produce, and domestic special effects production companies can at most do it.

Now that he has his own special effects production company, the blockbuster films he produces will naturally not make people frown upon seeing them.

An animation production company has no weak ability to make money.

Disney has a Pixar animation, which contributes amazing profits to Disney.

According to the system description, the production level and the number of talents of these two companies are among the top in the world.

In other words, the animation department will be stronger than Pixar.

The level of special effects will also be far behind Industrial Light & Magic and Weta Digital.

As for the choice of 5 director template cards, it is also very interesting.

Randomly select 5 people, and the system will automatically implant them with director abilities at the level of Kashen, Spielberg, and Nolan.

Any director of this level is a strategic talent for the Big Five.

As for Lin Shen, he could create 5 casually.

It is similar to choose 5 actor template cards.

This wave of rewards was also a surprise to Lin Shen.

If in the hands of Dimension Pictures, there are big names like Xiao Li, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Dwayne Johnson, Will Smith, as well as Kashen, Spielberg, and Nolan. .

If he still can't kneel down and call the five big hitters dad, then he loses!
……

Lin Shen arrived in Los Angeles in a very low-key manner, without his wife or relatives.

Culver City is a small city located under Los Angeles. Its area is only the size of a small town in China, and it gathers famous Hollywood film companies.

MGM, Sony's Columbia Pictures, Apple, Amazon Pictures, and Tik Tok.

With so many companies in the film and television industry, this place has naturally become one of the holy places for many boys and girls with dreams of stardom to check in.

Dimension Pictures rented a building here as a temporary headquarters.

With a boss like Lin Shen who is not short of money, the land for the new headquarters has already been bought, and the construction can be started as soon as the designer gives specific design drawings.

It is no secret in Hollywood that Dimension Pictures recruits actors, actresses and directors.

With 50 billion US dollars in hand, countless film and television practitioners are coveted.

There is no real money in any dream.

They become stars in order to get rich.

In the early days, Netflix relied on a large amount of money to make a group of directors and actors go to Netflix with a smile.

It's true that Lin Shen is rich, but he won't throw money out so foolishly.

The CEO of Dimension Pictures is former Lemon Video CEO Song Kun.

Song Kun has been working for Lin Shen for almost ten years, and he is the only one who has broken through from an excellent employee to a perfect employee.

Lin Shen was also quite generous to Song Kun.

The annual salary is 2000 million US dollars!
Among professional managers, it is regarded as a ceiling-level income.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Song Kun didn't dare to be careless even if he wrestled with such a powerful giant as Wu Da.

This interview was even more hands-on.

In terms of actors, Lin Shen has no other requirements, at least three of them are handsome guys.

There are 2 left, refer to Dwayne Johnson and Will Smith to find.

As for actresses, Lin Shen doesn't think about it for the time being.

Hollywood actresses are worthless. Compared with the salaries of male actors, the status of actresses has always been embarrassing, and they cannot afford the box office.

In many cases, it can only function as a vase.

But there are a lot of vase-type actresses in Hollywood.

Precious template cards should naturally be used wisely.

The preliminary audition has already ended.

After Lin Shen came over, he only conducted a second round of interviews with the selected actors.

The signing fee alone is 100 million US dollars.

This is no less than a great temptation to young actors and directors who are still cash-strapped.

At this moment, Disney is not in their consideration.

"This is so-so."

"This is not bad, let's see."

"This is good, you can consider it."

Hundreds of actors and actresses were interviewed one after another. Except for a few muscular men who followed the style of Dwayne Johnson, the others were all handsome men and beautiful women.

I have to say that there are really many handsome men and beautiful women in Hollywood.

Moreover, unlike in China, plastic surgery is popular here.

Many girls, around the age of 20, have very sweet smiles, and their bodies are even more sexy and hot.

Lin Shen received no less than 50 small notes alone.

Even a few actors left their phone numbers.

Lin Shen couldn't help crying and laughing.

He also understands the principle of doing as the Romans do.

In his position, no one would be stupid enough to mess with him.

The security team under him is not vegetarian either.

For the director's interview, Lin Shen directly handed it over to an accompanying director he brought over.

Professional matters, leave it to professionals.

Considering the longevity of the director's career, Lin Shen doesn't have as many restrictions as choosing actors.

Anyone under the age of 40 can participate in the interview.

Many unsatisfactory directors also know that Dimension Pictures is very rich, so they can naturally support their director dreams.

Little Plum, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Dwayne Johnson.

Actors implanted with the templates of the first three are handsome and the job is over, and their acting skills are still online.

An actor implanted with the Dwayne Johnson template, specializing in muscular macho-themed movies.

Finally, the actors implanted with Will Smith's template starred in some special-themed movies. After all, there are many black Americans.

All white film and television dramas, if you don't do well, you will be labeled as a racist.

The five young directors who stand out are generally around 35 years old.

Although I haven't proven myself much, it's not a problem.

According to Kashen, Nolan, Spielberg, David Fincher, and Quentin, they will all be world famous directors in the future!
These ten people were naturally used up by Lin Shen without hesitation.

Naturally, this kind of talent can't take advantage of outsiders, otherwise he will die of depression.

Those who can come to the interview are basically unsatisfactory.

There are a few, even credit cards that are overdue.

Lin Shen readily signed 10 checks, an increase of 100 million US dollars compared to the 100 million US dollars promised at the beginning.

In such a short period of time, 2000 million US dollars were distributed.

The ten people who were on the verge of a dead end wanted to start working immediately to express their gratitude.

Although they don't give money, they will work hard for themselves.

But there is no way, our boss Lin is kind-hearted and can't see them being so shabby.

……

"Brother-in-law, you are too generous. I think they are all average."

When this group of people left, Yang Youla couldn't help complaining, always feeling that Lin Shen's behavior of signing the check casually was too much like being taken advantage of.

"What do you know, these people's salary will not be less than 2000 million US dollars in the future."

Lin Shen thought that Disney was beaten by the movies they released at the same time, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Are there any plans recently?"

Lin Shen turned on the TV, watched the baseball game, and asked casually.

"There are a few Hollywood stars who wanted to invite you to their reception party, but I directly refused."

Yang Youla smiled slyly and said, "I followed my sister's instructions, so you can't blame me."

"Next time, don't make up your own mind, or I will ask Lao Chen to send you back to China."

Lin Shen's face darkened, and he didn't say anything else.

"Know it."

Yang Youla muttered softly, "What's so good about a big Yangma."

"I will give you a few days off recently. Come to Los Angeles and have fun. I will let Hutt send someone to protect you."

After thinking about it, Lin Shen decided to get rid of this little burden.

"I'm not interested in shopping, and my job is a secretary, so I can't leave your side for too long."

Yang Youla didn't believe that Lin Shen was so kind, she must have wanted to distract him from doing something.

In China, maybe Lin Shen still needs to hide.

But where is this place?
Hollywood!
City of Dreams!

As the boss of the AMC theater chain group, who controls the world's largest theater chain, even a giant like Disney must be in awe.

It is conceivable how many girls would want to cling to a big man like him.

"This is an order."

After Lin Shen finished speaking, he gave Chen Ji a wink.

"Miss Yang."

Chen Ji made a gesture of please.

"I'll tell my cousin!"

Yang Youla waved her small fist and left angrily.

Suddenly, the villa was quiet.

Lin Shen flipped through the pay TV channels at random, found a movie and watched it.

The woman on the screen has blue eyes and dark brown hair.

The three-dimensional and soft facial features, agile temperament, like the feeling of stars and seas in the eyes, exudes a fresh beauty.

Out of curiosity, Lin Shen searched the movie and found the name of the heroine.

"Talia Ryder?"

"Another sister?"

The more Lin Shen looked at her, the more she felt that this girl was a bit like a soft-featured version of Reba.

The previous few appearances at film festivals have attracted the attention of many domestic lsps.

The hats of all kinds of looks were all put on Talia Ryder's head.

Don't get me wrong, Lin Shen just wants to see this girl's acting skills.

After all, Dimension Pictures will invest in and produce a lot of film and television dramas in the future.

If it is really a good seed, there is no reason not to sign it.

Thinking of this, Lin Shen called Song Kun and mentioned Talia Ryder and her sister Mimi Ryder.

If their acting skills are not bad, they can be invited to audition for the upcoming dramas.

As an old employee who has followed Lin Shen for many years, if he still can't understand the meaning of the boss, he might as well hit the wall with a piece of tofu.

Song Kun, as the CEO of Dimension Pictures, naturally has a very close relationship with Adam Aron, the CEO of AMC Cinemas.

When Song Kun made a vague suggestion, Adam Aron's eyes lit up.

The two hurriedly researched, and Song Kun was responsible for arranging the scene and ensuring security.

When the actress auditioned, Aaron came forward.

Song Kun directly found Colin Cowie, a top Hollywood party planner, who planned birthday parties of many big-name Hollywood stars and was highly sought after by the stars.

Colin Cowie's fees are extremely high, with an average appearance fee of around $50.

Even Hollywood stars or rich people are only willing to ask him to plan for their birthdays.

Song Kun was very generous, directly spending 100 million U.S. dollars, except for the appearance fee of 50 U.S. dollars, the rest was used as venue decoration expenses.

Aaron's side also went smoothly. The first contact was Tony Vikra, CEO of Sony Pictures.

As the film company closest to them among the Big Five, Sony also has a good reputation.

It is natural for them to invite guests.

When Vikra heard that Dimension Films was going to organize an audition, he couldn't help being moved.

Compared with their weak parent company, the backers of Dimension Pictures are too rich.

50 billion US dollars, just lying on the account of Dimension Films.

If Sony Pictures had so much money, the Spider-Man universe would have taken off.

Even if you don't have a chance to eat meat, it's not bad to share a drink of soup with you.

Vikra personally invited all the big stars in Hollywood, and the style of the party was raised several levels in an instant.

Many big names are usually very low-key.

However, few would like to miss the opportunity to get to know the Oriental boss behind AMC Cinemas and Dimens Films.

Female celebrities dressed up and tried to show their face in front of the newest and most powerful man in Hollywood, preferably on a solo date.

A lot of paparazzi moved on hearing the news.

With so many big names gathered, taking a random shot can also arouse the interest of countless people who pay attention to gossip.

In addition to the Ryder sisters, there are many other female stars who interested Lin Shen very much.

For example, Isabella Adley, who started to learn to dance at the age of 3, is also very popular on ins, and her figure is plump, which is more expensive.

Marcus Lane, the sweetheart of American tennis, became popular on the Internet with her long legs against the sky and her delicate and sweet first love face.

Alina Sankoh, the champion of the Russian beauty pageant, this is not the kind of flat supermodel, but really bulging.

Mahraha Jaberi, the most beautiful supermodel in Iran, looks like Kendou, but has a better figure than Kendou.

With The Walking Dead sisters Braden and Saxon Sabino...

There are many beauties, and all of them are dressed up to attend, according to the standards of the awards ceremony.

All kinds of deep V dresses are not a problem for Europe and the United States.

Some actresses even wear see-through outfits in order to gain attention.

As the host of the party, Lin Shen was wearing a gown made by Guo Bei. The moment he walked down the stairs, it was as if the mute button had been pressed on the scene.

Master the world's largest theater chain, pressing across a mountain on the entire Hollywood.

And this is just one of the insignificant properties under Lin Shen's name.

Previously, Lin Shen's name was not listed on various rich lists, and he was scoffed at by countless people.

This kind of super rich is only ranked 53rd on the world's richest list, which is simply a joke in the world.

But the ranking companies on these lists are also very big.

Who can remain calm when they find an extra notice with bullets next to the bed?
Even if they were ridiculed by the crowd, they would rather keep their lives.

In this world, the rules are only made by a few people.

And Lin Shen is one of the members who has the ability to formulate rules.

When money starts to ring, the world will be silent!

The guests present came back to their senses and rushed to show their faces in front of Lin Shen.

As the CEO of Sony Pictures, Vikra is as humble as a dog's leg at the moment.

After all, he is just a professional manager of the Island Consortium.

Compared with Lin Shen, a super rich man with a frightening net worth, he can't be too humble.

The space in the film and television industry is limited, and it is nothing more than jumping from one company to another.

To curry favor with this rich man in the East now, it might mean that he will not have the opportunity to switch to Dimension Pictures in the future.

Chapek, the head of Disney, Hastings, the head of Netflix, and the heads of several other major film companies were all present, giving Zulin deep face.

The film and television industry doesn't make money, so it doesn't have much impact on Guanhai Group, let alone hurt its muscles and bones.

But for Disney and other film and television giants, it will be fatal.

The income brought by the box office still accounts for a high proportion of their revenue.

Many stars would rather reduce their pay than insist on showing it in theaters.

This pattern, which has lasted for nearly a hundred years, is not easily killed.

Chapek and the others are also very concerned about the big move of Dimension Pictures.

It's a pity that the core management of Dimension Pictures are all from Huaguo.

Those who can be assigned to Hollywood by this super rich man must be confidantes.

Even if you want to buy it, it is not so easy.

After dealing with these old foxes for a while, Lin Shen left decisively.

What's sociable about a bunch of dudes than well-groomed babes.

Both of them can't wait to put each other to death, but they have to talk and laugh when they meet.

Every businessman must be a qualified actor.

This sentence is really true.

Seeing that Lin Shen had finally left Chapek's small circle, many veteran actors and actresses, or first-line stars came to say hello.

Lin Shen nodded with a smile, showing a very friendly manner, which made all the famous people who talked with him feel like spring breeze.

Several aged and fading actresses couldn't help their hearts beating faster.

But when I saw a group of young and beautiful actresses and supermodels, the sadness of the passing of time came to my heart.

In Hollywood, no one is 18 forever.

But there are always 18-year-old girls who will step into Hollywood.

Fortunately, one movie hits big.

But the odds are so low that it's better to buy a lottery ticket.

The vast majority of girls are nothing more than participating in various parties and becoming the girlfriend of a certain star.

It seems to have increased knowledge, but in fact it has no shit effect.

In the end, when she got old and frail, she had to leave Hollywood sadly and marry a woman.

Among them, there are many smart girls, just like hunters, constantly looking for the best prey.

A woman's beauty and figure are of course the bargaining chip to attract a man.

As time goes by and the number of boyfriends increases, the value of the chips will continue to decrease.

Seeing this super rich man approaching, some girls who originally wanted to be reserved, saw some active bitches, and instantly cursed in their hearts.

Lin Shen seemed to say hello normally, but actually let the system detect secretly.

The system can be tricky sometimes, but in this case it is absolutely reliable.

Anyone with physical problems or too frequent private life will be detected by the system to help him avoid lightning.

Although his physical fitness has already been raised to the limit of human beings by the system, reaching the point where he is invulnerable to all diseases.

But some choose, who wants to drive a bus.

　Brothers, the Iranian supermodel Mahraha has a really amazing figure, more beautiful than Kendou, rushing
