Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

“As long as the source of funds is legal,” Murphy spread his hands and said to Karafes, “I will not ask who 20th Century Fox will raise funds.”

Strictly speaking, he has no right to inquire. As long as it is not money laundering, whether it is investment from the East or the West, he will not care about it.

Karafez laughed and said in detail, "The company chose to accept Chinese investment mainly because the film can be released in theaters there."

Murphy nodded slightly, and Karafes continued, "Originally, the company was going to follow the normal procedures and wait for the time to be about the same time to send it to the relevant departments there for review, but news came over there, and your name was on an extremely sensitive list, and it was difficult to pass the political review."

Gal Gadot sighed, "It's all my fault, it's because I was too impulsive last time."

"It has nothing to do with you." Murphy shook her hand, "It's my video's scale and values ​​that have something to do with it."

"Well" Karafes agreed with Murphy's statement, "Your last incident was just a trigger. For the review department over there, Murphy's video is too unpolitical."

She thought for a while and said, "Relatively speaking, the theme this time is more inclined to the final victory over evil. If there are powerful partners there to help with public relations, there is still a high chance of passing the review."

Indeed, as long as the investor is strong, it is not difficult to pass the review, but the second part is very difficult. The second part will involve some content such as ideological and ideological differences.

Thinking of the review, Murphy asked with concern, "Are Chinese investors individuals or companies?"

"It is a large comprehensive group company." Karafes briefly introduced, "It seems that this company has its own theater company and film production company. It is said that the boss has a very idea and wants to build an Oriental Hollywood."

"Oh?" Murphy became interested, "Which company is it?"

Karafes thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be called Wanda."

"Wanda?" Murphy was stunned for a moment, and then understood that what Karafes said must be a transliteration.

Having such a company cooperation is indeed very beneficial to passing the audit.

However, Murphy didn't care about these things. His films are relatively limited on the other side of the Pacific, so it is probably difficult to get high box office numbers. After all, black films are definitely a relatively niche type for the current film market there.

Compared to these, Murphy felt that if possible, he could invest in Wanda's theater company, but he didn't know if the other party would accept it. In the past rumors, the man was neither short of money nor relationships, and it was very difficult to invest.

You can let Bill Roses contact the other party. The man has a very big ambition and is determined to build his own entertainment empire. His identity as a Hollywood director may be useful.

Compared with some unreliable theater companies over there, Wanda theaters are much more secure.

Murphy, after Wanda Cinema frequently acquired it, also paid attention to this company that instantly became the world's top cinema company.

Especially during this period, Avatar has just triggered a boom on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and theater construction has entered a period of rapid development.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, on the huge film industry chain, theaters connect the production upstream of the industrial chain and the theaters at the terminals of the industrial chain, and take on the role of a film supplier. After the film company completes the production of the film, it must be released through the theaters to be screened.

After establishing the distribution and screening system with the theater system as the main body in 2001, the urban cinema chains there experienced rapid development. With the entry of capital, the ecology of the theater industry has changed, and its business entities have become diversified from the original state-owned.

I vaguely remember that Wanda Cinema has been ranked first in the box office revenue, market share and number of viewers for several consecutive years since the past two years, and has gradually developed into a super cinema giant.

After Carafes left after dinner, Murphy made several calls in a row, one for people to understand and stare at Leonardo DiCaprio, and the other for Bill Roses to collect more information about Wanda Cinemas.

The information of such a large company is not difficult to collect. In just two days, Bill Roses obtained a lot of information through the Far East branch and faxed it to Murphy immediately.

Although it is hard to say whether the other party accepts investment or not, since he has the intention to invest, Murphy must make enough preparations. Any investment cannot be done with a wave of his hand and throws out money. Not to mention whether the financing party is willing to accept investment, if the investor does not even have the most basic understanding of the investing company, he may be happy to help people count the money if he is cheated.

Business has always been intrigue.

Even if he intends to invest, Murphy will do the most basic understanding of the work.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the biggest feature of Wanda Cinema is that unlike other theater companies' light assets, Wanda Cinema is the first cinema chain among the cinema chains that has truly achieved the management and operation of subordinate theaters through asset connection. Its cinema chains are owned and are a typical heavy asset company.

According to data from the exclusive research department, Wanda Cinema entered the market when the film industry has not yet developed rapidly. Generally speaking, investors who come in can usually make profits.

The biggest advantage of Wanda Cinema is that it combines theaters with commercial real estate, so the resources it has are significantly better than theaters without commercial real estate. High-quality commercial square projects can ensure that the theaters have a good location, crowds, consumption atmosphere and services.

Therefore, Wanda Cinema is in the construction of a model that combines commercial real estate.

Moreover, even though a small number of the theaters on Wanda Cinemas are rented by others, their management model is standardized and they have learned advanced management in North America, and they have very management advantages.

Bill Rossis also specifically reminded Murphy that Wanda is integrated with theaters, so the revenue of theaters is also reflected in Wanda Cinema's financial report. Wanda Cinema's revenue is very diverse, including selling products, derivatives, etc., which is much more than the revenue source of theaters.

The information also specifically mentioned another point. The super rich man behind the scenes had the biggest hobby in business, "buy, buy, buy, buy," which is also prominently reflected in Wanda Cinemas. This company is said to be in contact with many international cinema companies and wants to acquire the cinemas in their hands, thus building itself into an international giant cinema company.

Murphy also saw another point in the information. Wanda Cinema not only continuously strengthened its cinema screening business, but also made great efforts in derivatives, marketing and other aspects, which is also the development trend of cinemas.

In short, in the information, under the trend of mergers and acquisitions, vertical integration, channel diversification and non-box office revenue, Wanda Cinemas has first-mover advantages, brand advantages and capital operation advantages, and is the most likely industrial integrator on the other side of the Pacific.

This is undoubtedly a very good and worth investing in the film industry company.

However, the problem is that the other party may not accept his investment.

Murphy knew very well that such things could not be forced. It would be best if the other party was willing to accept investment, and it would be fine if he was unwilling to accept it.

At present, Wanda's people are still talking to 20th Century Fox about investing in and cooperating with movies. Bill Rossis also had a little contact with the other party, but their attitude is not clear. It is estimated that this matter will be spread to the headquarters on the other side of the Pacific Ocean and will be decided by the person who can make the decision.

On the other hand, Murphy was still revising the script and discussing production plans with other main leaders of the team. Some chores were completely left to Gal Gadot for the responsibility. After several years of training, Gal Gadot's abilities and related experiences have been significantly improved.

By the end of June, Twentieth Century Fox passed the project review and determined to invest in Murphy's new film. The new film is temporarily named Black New York, with an estimated production cost of US$150 million. Twentieth Century Fox will solve the fund source problem through pre-sales and financing channels. Among them, Wanda Pictures, which comes from the other side of Tye Film, will be one of the investors.

This also means that Wanda Pictures will be responsible for the public relations work of the film's official release in the theater market across the Pacific.

To be honest, Murphy's films are not very popular across the Pacific Ocean. In addition, the artificial obstacles caused by the last Sino-US film forum conflict, it is not easy to pass the review. This is also the main reason why 20th Century Fox also introduced Wanda Pictures to invest.

Just like Murphy, as long as it is beneficial to itself, Hollywood will not consider whether the funds come from the East.

After confirming the investment of the new project, Bill Roses also started formal contact with Wanda people, but the news received was not optimistic. The other party seemed to be lacking in funds and was not very interested in Murphy's intention to invest.

But a Hollywood front-line director expressed his intention to cooperate, which made them somewhat tempted, and both sides could only talk slowly.

Also this month, the verdict of Jordan Belfort's lawsuit against Murphy was officially announced. With the support of strong evidence, the court officially ruled that Jordan Belfort lost the case and borne huge litigation costs, which made Jordan Belfort, who wanted to settle out of court, pay a huge brokerage price.

And that's not the end. Murphy in turn sued Jordan Belfort for defamation. With his current wealth and status, he would drag Jordan Belfort until exhausted.

This is not just for Jordan Belfort, but for the future. Murphy is very clear that the tougher he is now, the less trouble he will be in the future.
