Chapter five hundred and seventy fourth goodbye

Hearing what Xu Hao said, Lang Meyer smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, as of now, all departments of our Oriental DreamWorks Film Company have been established, and the personnel of each department..."

"Master Xu, regarding our company's cinema line, it turns out that the company we took over also has its own film distribution channels.

In the past six months, I have also expanded some cinema lines within its original channels, and are currently negotiating with two cinema lines in Nanmi.

Mr. Xu, after all, we are a newly opened film company. We have not produced one film of our own yet, and our company has no reputation at all.

Therefore, those big movie theater chains are not willing to talk to our company at all. They all say that they will make a decision on how many screens they will give us after watching our film works.

As of now, there are only two theater chains that we can be sure of, both of which are small theater chains in North America. The movie screens they can provide us with only cost 800 yuan in total.

Mr. Xu, the situation of the company is basically like this, I’m done!”

After listening to Lang Meyer's words, Xu Hao knew that what he said was the actual situation and was not an exaggeration.

The situations Langmeyer talked about were basically consistent with what Dani and Zhai Hui told him. The situation in the movie theater chain was also the same as what he knew.

Xu Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Meyer, do you know Mr. Redstone? Have you ever had contact with him?"

When Lang Meyer heard Xu Hao suddenly ask such a question, he was surprised and said:

"Mr. Xu, the Mr. Redstone you are talking about is not Mr. Redstone, the president of National Entertainment Co., Ltd., one of the major movie theater chains in the United States, right?"

In fact, Lang Meyer was secretly thinking in his heart: "Master Xu, how could I know this person? He is a rising entertainment tycoon who now dominates a quarter of the American movie theaters in the American film market.

?

I went to his company several times, but I never met President Redstone at all, let alone had any contact with him.

For an entertainment tycoon like him, would he meet a manager like me when he heard that it was a small, unknown film company like ours that had just opened?

Otherwise, why would I have to worry about our film company’s distribution channels?

However, although I don't know or have any contact with this legendary entertainment tycoon, I have carefully studied his history of struggle.

Redstone was born on May 27, 1923, in a poor Jewish family in Boston, USA.

In 1940, when he was 17 years old, he entered Harvard University in the United States to study.

In 1943, when he was 20 years old, he was selected into the American Army to work on deciphering Japanese telegram codes.

In 1947, when Redstone was 24 years old, he received a doctorate in law from Harvard University in the United States.

After getting his degree, he first worked in Washington, the capital of the United States, and then went to work in the Department of Justice in San Francisco. From then on, he started working as a lawyer.

However, after Redstone practiced law for several years, he gave up his legal career and switched to the small media business started by his father.

Redstone's father, Michael Rothstein, owned a small movie theater chain, the Northeast Theater, in Seoul, Massachusetts.

Redstone's joining injected fresh vitality into his father's Northeastern Theater and made the company's business prosperous.

In 1954, when Redstone was 31 years old, he started his first business venture in his life. He reorganized his father's Northeast Theater into National Entertainment Co., Ltd.

In 1967, Redstone became president and chief executive officer of National Amusement Co., Ltd.

And developed it into a large company with 1,400 movie theaters in the United States, United Kingdom and Latin America.

However, there are rumors that when Redstone was 50 years old last year, he experienced a fire.

If someone hadn't rescued him from the fire scene at that time, he would have almost died in the fire last year."

Xu Hao didn't know that Lang Meyer was currently thinking about Redstone's fortune.

Even if Xu Hao knew what Lang Meyer was thinking, he would still sneer at it. In Xu Hao's heart, he was already familiar with the history of Lei Shidong's fortune in later generations.

In fact, last year, Xu Hao had secretly arranged for someone to rescue Lei Shidong from the fire, which could be regarded as indirectly saving his life.

But Xu Hao really admired this Lei Shidong and his previous relationship with Huo Huo.

The life of this legendary man was always involved in fires every few years, and each time it was more serious than the last.

No wonder this Redstone was so successful in the American entertainment industry in later generations!

Because Xu Hao knew very well that in five years' time, Lei Shidong would encounter a bigger fire. That fire would be much more deadly than the fire last year.

In 1979, the 55-year-old Redstone experienced another fire. At that time, he was staying at the Copley Hotel in Boston on a business trip.

However, a fire suddenly broke out in the hotel in the middle of the night. Lei Shidong was caught in the flames. With his thighs burned, he opened the window and climbed out, kneeling on a small window edge, which was just wide enough to accommodate him.

One foot, that's the sixth floor.

Although Lei Shidong tried his best to lower his head to avoid the flames spurting out of the window, his fingers had to cling tightly to the frame of the window, and his right hand and shoulder were burned by the fire.

Redstone chose to endure. He repeatedly counted from 1 to 10 in an effort to forget the pain, and finally endured until the arrival of the firefighters.

His final diagnosis was that more than 45% of his body had been burned, and his right wrist, which was hanging in the fire, had almost detached from his body.

However, Lei Shidong did not feel that the area of ​​​​his burns was so large. Instead, he said afterwards, on the contrary, I felt very good, and it was great to be able to survive!

After that, he began to recover slowly and gradually exercised himself to walk. Even the doctors and nurses were moved by his strong will.

After Lei Shidong succeeded, his fire deeds became an inspirational article and spread all over the world. Xu Hao also saw this inspirational article on the Internet.

These things about the later Lei Shidong only passed by in Xu Hao's mind.

Xu Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Meyer, I am talking about this, the president of National Entertainment Co., Ltd., Mr. Lei Shidong.

Mr. Meyer, haven’t you had any contact with this company, National Entertainment Co., Ltd.? You still don’t know Mr. Redstone?”

Lang Meyer said with a wry smile: "Master Xu, how could I not be in contact with such a big company? I have never dreamed of cooperating with National Entertainment Co., Ltd.

But we are a newly opened film company. Here in Hollywood, we have to be famous but not famous, and we have to work but not have movies.

How could a big shot like Mr. Redstone meet me in person?

Mr. Xu, I went to his company several times and was always greeted by the reception staff. I have never met Mr. Lei Shidong at all, let alone talk about cooperation."

As soon as Xu Hao heard this, he took out a business card from his pocket, handed it to Lang Meyer, and said with a smile: "Mr. Meyer, you, the dignified general manager of our Oriental DreamWorks Film Company, went there in person.

His company talks about business.

This Redstone, he has never even met you. It seems that this Redstone has a lot of airs!

Mr. Meyer, take this business card with you tomorrow and go to Redstone's National Entertainment Co., Ltd. and tell him directly that you want to meet with Redstone to discuss business.
Chapter completed!
