Chapter 342 The Public Enemy of Hollywood

To be fair, Jiang Zhijie, a foreigner, now enjoys super-national treatment. When many sick citizens in Hujiang can only live in warehouses, classrooms and other simple wards, he can be admitted to a luxurious single ward. However, because of this, Jiang Zhijie is already crying and has no tears and is meticulously taken care of. In other words, it means strict care. The contact with the outside world is almost completely interrupted, and all other things can only be discharged from the hospital after being cured for more than a month.

Jing Jian has also put Jiang Zhijie aside for the time being. Since he has fallen into the pit, he will wait to appreciate his dying struggle. After all, the incident has fermented for more than a month. The most urgent task is that the post-production of the film has been completed and we need to find a suitable publisher.

The first thing we contacted was Warner and Paramount, who had had a cooperative relationship. They said it was a cooperative relationship, but in fact they had rented studios and editing rooms. The two companies responded quickly and arranged for the film watching time.

However, the first Warner movie was very depressing, so a distribution manager came and watched the video quickly. Finally, he shook hands and said goodbye politely: "Mr. Bramble, if you have any intention, we will contact you."

In fact, everyone understands that this is just a polite rejection. That afternoon, Jing Jian and several others came to Paramount again, and this time it was a little better: "We need a 20% share of the box office, and all copyrights are needed..." There is no need to look at other conditions anymore, and they are just taking advantage of the situation nakedly. If anyone agrees, it's really a brain.

The major studios then were also quite unhappy, and even refused on the spot, not giving them a chance to watch the film. This made Jing Jian very helpless. Could it be that he really went to find those second-rate and third-rate publishers?

...

Jing Jian knew in his heart that this was actually an industry barrier. Hollywood is quite unfriendly to outsiders. Especially the stale relationship with CAA has made the release of the film difficult. But...? Since you want to play, let’s play a big scene!

On January 9, the headline of the National Entertainment News - the mysterious Chinese boy issued a acquisition of four North American theaters with a total price of US$283 million. Although these four theaters are small theaters, the acquisition case is quite distinctive: first, all cash acquisitions; secondly, no bargaining, only one week.

"...This is the headquarters of Los Angeles Seed Entertainment. The one we interviewed was Mr. Danny. Mr. Danny. Are you serious about the acquisition of those four theaters?" The interview was a reporter from ABC.

Ding Sheng, whose English name is Danny, rolled his eyes secretly. Who knows what Mr. Jing thinks? He heard that it was all the chrysanthemums tightly. However, for the first time he was interviewed by mainstream American media, Ding Sheng was still a little fluttering: "Of course it's serious. There is one thing that needs to be corrected here. The acquisition case is Seed Media, not Seed Entertainment or its affiliated Seed Pictures. The guarantee bank we acquired is Bank of America, and the specific information can be found publicly. In addition, we have conducted a detailed evaluation of these four theaters, and it has already acquired it at a premium of about 50%, so we proposed a one-week limit. After the time limit, we may give up the acquisition."

After Black Monday, Jing Jian's cash was already exaggerating, and he had long wanted to find some opportunities worth investing in. Since the film was not released smoothly now, that's good, so just buy those North American theater chains.

In 1948, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a Paramount jurisprudence, which prohibited large Hollywood companies from vertically operating production, distribution and screening businesses in order to break the monopoly. In the following years, major theaters in the United States were unsatisfactory and the purchase price was not very high.

However, with the rise of entertainment and media companies such as Murdoch, Redstone and Disney in the 1990s, they once again formed large monopoly groups, TV, movies, newspapers, the Internet, distribution, theaters... Not to mention how those media giants exploit legal loopholes, they just need to understand that it doesn’t take a few years, and theaters will be very valuable. So for Jing Jian, if those theaters cannot be bought, he will not suffer any losses; even if he buys them, he will never suffer any losses. Anyway, he will definitely be able to transfer the goods at a high price in a few years.

"Mr. Danny, we know that Mr. Bramble has a very keen investment vision and has had many successful investment cases before. Does this acquisition of theaters mean that he is optimistic about the future of Hollywood?" the reporter asked again.

Ding Sheng remembered Jing Jian’s instructions: “The opposite is true. Before, our Seed Pictures invested $20 million to shoot a film, but it was in a situation where it could not be released? It was very infuriating, and there was no chance for a trial? So we bought the theaters ourselves and showed it ourselves. Here, we also want to use our miserable situation to remind those investors, especially those outside the United States, that Hollywood is very unfriendly. If you can’t afford a cinema, you should be prepared to throw your money into the water! Of course, be careful of those masterminds behind the scenes!”

This time, the reporter's eyes glowed: "Mr. Danny, is the mastermind behind you who are talking about CAA?"

"I don't want to name a specific name, nor do I want to fall into an inexplicable lawsuit. However, I want to advise some people here that we can understand that you can make a profit for yourself. But if you want to destroy the entire film industry? That will be retribution. Mr. Bramble came to Hollywood with his love for movies, but now he is only sad and angry. Of course, if you rely on your domineeringness to prevent us from buying those theaters, it's nothing. We can afford the 20 million yuan, and we will use more 20 million yuan to promote it to the world for a long time. Hollywood is very dangerous, so don't invest!"

“…”

As soon as the news was broadcast, it was like putting a hydrogen bomb in Hollywood. This cliff was a rhythm that would not play with the table?

There is no need to mobilize at all. In an instant, Jing Jian became the public enemy of Hollywood. It is not scary for a person who slanders Hollywood, but a billionaire who slanders Hollywood is much scary, and a billionaire lunatic who slanders Hollywood...?

How can Hollywood deceive the investment of those rich people in the future? Even if they can cheat, how much profit will they have to be given in negotiations? This is simply a hatred for seizing money. So a wave of criticism immediately set off.

However, facing the overwhelming confrontation, Jing Jian did not show any weakness and said one more time and again - I am rich, I am willful!
