America is in control

Chapter 288 The prototype of the script and the distribution company are obtained

After the father and son had an in-depth talk, the old Landman did not act rashly immediately.

Instead, he consulted many trustworthy people in the financial industry and asked people to carefully investigate Little Landman's recent situation.

The feedback the elder Landman received was that the American Internet industry was entering an explosive period, the prospects for stock investment continued to be promising, and there were no shady people around his son.

With all his doubts gone, he immediately went to several familiar banks and asked about the loan amount he could get for mortgaging the company's shares, but the results were not satisfactory.

After repeated calculations, the old Landman finally defeated his inner greed and his usual caution.

He began to proactively contact Jonathan and sent people to start preliminary negotiations with the new Caesars Entertainment company's purchasing team.

Jonathan was extremely busy, and so was Ronald, who continued to maintain close contact with the management of Landman Publishing Company.

General Liu, on Harvey's advice, changed the organizational structure of the new Caesars Entertainment Company.

The production business was spun off and a new subsidiary, New Caesar Productions, was established.

If Landman Publishing is successfully acquired, it will join the new Caesars Entertainment as another subsidiary.

The separation of production and distribution is conducive to the refinement of the division of labor, the implementation of responsibilities, and mutual checks and balances while also promoting each other.

After figuring out the organizational structure of the new Caesars Entertainment Company, Harvey took the law firm's elite officers to join the purchasing team and joined Louis Little.

The bidding among the major boxing promotion companies is getting more and more intense, with interests giving away bit by bit, like squeezing out toothpaste.

Although the signing conditions given by General Liu are getting closer and closer, if he continues to write like this, he may not be able to sign the contract until he completes his weight increase.

He simply ignored these boxing promotion companies for a while, leaving only two or three big cats and kittens to continue grinding their teeth with each other.

Get rid of Harvey and Louis Little, and first settle the acquisition of Randleman Publishing Company.

Within a few days, news came from Jonathan that the old Randleman was willing to sell his own publishing company, but the asking price was as high as 3300 million US dollars.

This is simply opening the lion’s mouth!
The reason given by the old Landman is that Landman Distribution Company not only has relatively complete distribution channels in North America, but also has the copyrights of more than 30 movies in its own film library.

Liu will recognize the relatively complete distribution channel of North America, but the film copyright? What a fool!
These movies are all cheap goods purchased from overseas by Randleman Distribution Company, and the maximum purchase price of each movie does not even exceed US$15.

Randleman Distribution has already made money on these films twice, just from the North American release and the video release.

Now the other party actually wants to take advantage of me, which is so shameless!

General Liu immediately gave an order to Jonathan. The film library of Landman Distribution Company can be obtained, but it must be at an extremely low price.

If the other party is unwilling to compromise, then simply divest the film library from the acquisition.

After receiving General Liu's instructions, Jonathan seemed confident, and the acquisition team and people from Landman Publishing Company launched a series of short and intense negotiations.

When the price dropped to $3000 million, Old Randleman refused to let go.

Not only that, he didn't want to divest the film library from the acquisition.

Old Randleman's attitude was quite tough. If you want to buy it, just buy it for one piece, otherwise you can go back and forth wherever you go.

He knew very well that the copyrights for these thirty-odd movies were not worth much at all.

Without bundled sales, Randleman Distribution's microfilm library would not be able to sell at a high price.

After receiving Jonathan's feedback, Liu Jiang decisively stopped the acquisition negotiations with Landman Publishing Company.

He signaled the acquisition team to turn around and contact another small publishing company.

General Liu still didn't believe it. Without Butcher Zhang, he would have to eat pigs with hair on them?
Anyway, there are more than one small publishing company, and he has many Plan B options.

On this day, Liu Jiang was reviewing documents in the office of New Caesars Entertainment Company when Jonathan suddenly came over.

"Boss, are you free now? I have found several top screenwriters who do not want to be named, and they are in the conference room now."

"Have they signed the confidentiality agreement? I don't want to cause any trouble then!"

Liu Jiang raised his head, looked at the other party, and asked.

"It's already signed! Boss, don't worry, the confidentiality agreement is signed by Lawyer Harvey himself."

Jonathan nodded and said solemnly.

"Okay! Then let's go there together!"

Liu Jiang briefly organized the documents on the table, picked up the script outline he wrote, and walked to the conference room with Jonathan.

"I plan to make this project into a series of movies. As the first film, this is what I think about it."

After walking into the conference room and getting to know each other with several top screenwriters, Liu Jiang immediately got to the point.

He doesn't plan to change the main plot of "Charlie's Angels" too much, just keep it simple. It's still about justice defeating evil. The American people like this.

The characters of the three heroines have been slightly adjusted based on the respective characteristics of Connery, Catherine, and Theron.

Connery is a tolerant and capable person, and he plays the role played by Drew Barrymore in the original film.

Catherine is charming, elegant and wild, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to take over Lucy Liu's role.

As for Theron! Tall and blond, she is certainly the perfect choice to replace Cameron Diaz.

In the original work, the power behind the three heroines was too weak, and this must be changed drastically!
Mr. Charlie, who is not a hairy person at all, cannot support the magnificent and mysterious world view of underground assassins.

Liu will take the best from the good-looking and blockbuster action movies of his previous life, discard the dross, and at the same time develop a bold imagination.

In the end, an extremely mysterious intelligence organization, Textile Machine, was created, the force behind the three heroines.

This organization originated from the ancient East and takes as its mission to "bring great benefit to the world and eliminate harm to the world".

Because textile machines advocated "universal love", they were collectively hostile to the rulers of various countries at that time.

Surrounded by a pack of wolves, the leader and founder passed away, his successor failed to convince the crowd, the organization fell into internal divisions, and the organization gradually declined.

Later, the textile machine spread to the European continent via Central Asia, transformed into an intelligence organization, and integrated into the local area.

And because of the two world wars, some members of the organization took sides wrongly, resulting in textile machines being implicated.

In desperation, he had no choice but to cross the ocean and finally lay down his roots in the United States.

The loom system is large and well-organized, and each branch has a rather original and unique loom.

Each branch uses the cloth woven by the loom to assign tasks to the members of the organization. This method is quite mysterious.

The organization attaches great importance to cutting-edge technology and has extremely high mechanical attainments. Its members are good at using various unexpected and extremely cool means to complete tasks.
The story begins with the founder of a high-tech company. The founder, the second male lead, designed an iris plus voice recognition system.

As soon as this system came out, the second male lead disappeared mysteriously. At the same time, the identification system and all the data disappeared. Because this system is of extremely high value and can quickly identify target persons, its efficiency is far superior to fingerprint identification and DNA identification.

In addition, this high-tech company has always been a partner of the textile machine, so the textile machine headquarters issued an order to assign the Los Angeles branch to investigate the incident.

While rescuing Male Number Two, make sure to get back the identification system and all the information.

By some strange combination of circumstances, the head of the Los Angeles branch assigned this task to Connery, Catherine, and Theron, who had just joined the organization.

While working together, the three heroines went through a series of ridiculous investigations and targeted competitors of high-tech companies.

This competitor is no ordinary competitor. It owns and operates the world's largest wireless communication satellite network, and its boss is the hero.

The three heroines agreed that the male protagonist was the most suspicious. They disguised themselves, followed day and night, and even resorted to honey traps, and finally found clues on the male protagonist.

The two sides immediately started a fierce battle!

But what people never expected is that there is actually another black hand behind all this, and the male protagonist's business partner is the villain's boss.

He created a conspiracy and wanted to use the hands of the three heroines to get rid of the male protagonist. There would be a snipe and clam fight, the fisherman would benefit, and he would eventually take over.

By chance, the three heroines and the hero discovered the villain's conspiracy.

The two parties did not know each other without fighting, and finally joined forces to eliminate the villain boss, successfully rescued the second male lead, and got back the identification system and all the information.

Just after the group of people left the lair of the villain boss happily, a stern-faced killer quietly appeared.

He opened the villain boss's clenched right hand and took out a gold coin with a unique shape.

Putting the gold coins in his pocket, the cold-blooded killer took out his cell phone and made a call.

"I'm John, John Wick, mission failed!"

Of course, John Wick's appearance is just an Easter egg reserved to pave the way for the next movie.

After making up for the shortcomings of the villain's slightly brainless boss, Liu will prepare to strengthen the strength of the three heroines.

It's okay for the moves to be exaggerated, but they cannot violate the laws of physics.

Regarding this point, Liu will consider hiring professional martial arts practitioners from Xiangjiang to design gorgeous and ornamental moves for the three heroines.

Special training is naturally indispensable. You must train for at least three or four months, otherwise you will not see the effect.

I just hope that Connery, Catherine, and Theron can understand how hard they have worked so hard and will not hunt them down with machetes because of the difficult training.

As for the highlights in the original work, Liu Jiang will not weaken them, but will continue to strengthen them.

The appearance and figure of Connery, Catherine, and Theron are beyond words, they are infinitely better than the three heroines in the original work.

show! You must show off your hot body! The show left the audience with nosebleeds!

The posing, ambiguous, and funny scenes must also be well designed to make it easy for the audience to watch the movie!

All kinds of hot scenes are arranged, and there are no shortage of flashy gimmicks, such as high technology, Chinese Kung Fu, disguise masks, and jumping out of airplanes.
But let’s forget about things like Sakura Kendo that we don’t know the name of! Even if it does appear, it can only be played by the villain boss.

After telling the three top screenwriters about their general ideas, everyone started discussing in the conference room.

On the other side, little Landman once again entangled his old father.

"Father, do you know how much Yahoo's stock price has risen today? This amount"

Little Randleman stretched out his hands and gestured to Old Randleman.

“All our company’s clients who invested in Internet stocks have made huge profits!”

"Didn't you promise me before? Sell the company, raise a lot of funds, invest in the stock market, and make huge profits."

"The opportunity for the Landman family to rise is right in front of us. Are you just going to be a bystander and watch this once-in-a-decade opportunity slip away like this?"

Little Randleman was a little excited, saliva flying everywhere, and tried his best to persuade his father.

"Why rush? I have to sell the company at a good price!"

A trace of displeasure flashed across Old Landman's face, he glared at the other party fiercely, and then wiped his face without leaving a trace.

"I heard from old employees in the company that the new Caesars Entertainment Company has given up on negotiating with us, hasn't it?"

"You are the only treasure of your crappy distribution company! Not only are you asking for a high price, but you also have to buy it together with the film library!"

"It's good now! Let's screw it up! We also scared the enemy away, and the other party turned around and started talking about acquisitions with another publishing company."

Little Landman was a little unconvinced and muttered a few words in a low voice.

"What do you know? This is just a trick played by the new Caesars Entertainment Company to lower the acquisition price!"

"You don't know the value of Landman Distribution Company. Distribution channels are a rare commodity in Hollywood."

"How can I raise more funds without bundling sales? Don't you want to invest as much money as possible in the stock market?"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Old Landman's eyes. His son was still too young!

"Father, have you ever thought about this? How much will our costs increase if we enter the market one day late? How much expected revenue will we lose?"

"The profits from this coming and going may have long exceeded your inflated quotation!"

"The people at New Caesars Entertainment are not fools, and their only choice is Randleman Publishing Company!"

"I must remind you that the only one who is willing to take over is New Caesars Entertainment! The initiative is not actually in your hands."

Little Randleman took a deep breath and said solemnly.

Looking at the other party in surprise, Old Landman suddenly felt that his son had something. Could it be that he had gone astray?

He rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. After a long time, Old Landman said slowly.

"I understand what you mean! I will re-engage with the new Caesars Entertainment Company at the right time."

In the next few days, Old Randleman found an excuse to contact Jonathan again and made certain concessions.

Negotiations between the two parties resumed and progress suddenly accelerated. General Liu also joined the acquisition team in due course and settled many key issues.

After a series of complex games, the two parties reached an agreement during negotiations.

New Caesars Entertainment successfully acquired Randleman Publishing for $2700 million, along with the film library.
