After a while, after the exchange with Stanley Durwood ended, Zhao Donghuai called Alu to entertain Stanley and watched him leave.

This is a truly "serious" reception. After all, they are partners, and Stanley is still standing on the stage to block the gun. The other party will still be the major shareholder of AMC Cinemas in the future, but they will cooperate strategically to stabilize and release director Zhao's films on a large scale.

Europe and America.

The shares that Monica Bellucci is about to acquire in AMC Cinemas are just a way to attract attention at the beginning.

As long as Stanley cooperates, Monica will support the Derwood Brothers on the board of directors.

Thinking of this, he sat back at his desk and started a new simulation.

At the end of a three-year simulation of 3,000 reputation points, Director Zhao looked a little strange. He took a sip of champagne and sighed, "Sir Stanley is still dishonest. I am such a reliable partner, and you still play such tricks on me."

"Forget it, let's play with him first..."

It’s so exciting to see through all the opponent’s subsequent moves and routines in one simulation.

This is not the deep quagmire of his surname Zhao. Once you fall in, the more you struggle, the more embarrassed you are, and the faster you sink. It's that in the mall, you are familiar with the opponent's routines and preparations. Soldiers come to cover up the water and earth. It is better to make targeted arrangements in advance.

So high.

The first move Stanley plans to make is that after his funds enter AMC, Monica will be named as the major shareholder? Stanley will find someone to arrange a few movies to launder money for the Mafia, and then do accounting, etc.

The money laundering dividends are specially put into Monica's share dividends.

At the same time, he made false accounts and gave the other party more dividends.

Then arrange for outsiders to report it and let the FBI freeze the funds and so on.

He was looking for connections, and he was using all kinds of connections to steal the money that Zhao Donghuai would invest in the future.

Familiar business war field... They have many tricks to create trouble in the Durwood brothers' corporate territory. Before, this was just the first trick, a small test of their skills.

"Let's do a few more simulations and try to get some of the FBI's criminal police information from the first volume. Once that's done, I'll have more friends in North America."

………………

Outside the Zhao Film Building.

Stanley Durwood walked out accompanied by Alu. When he saw the two figures coming in front of him, he immediately said to Alu with a dark face, "I have my own secretary and assistant. You don't have to accompany me anymore. If you are worried,

I’m staying at the Peninsula Hotel.”

Although Director Zhao kindly arranged for someone to entertain him on his travel holiday in Hong Kong Island, how could Stanley accept it so easily when things have developed now?

How can you do business if the other party wants to invest in your industry and then throws out all kinds of evidence of your illegal crimes?

Stanley has lived for most of his life and has never seen such a shameless and violent colleague!

He said this in English, and Alu nodded with a smile, "Okay, I wish Mr. Stanley a happy holiday in Hong Kong Island."

After such a long time, it was not the first time that Alu took Liu Dehua to fish for Huang Langwei's Aluzi. He had learned English well by himself.

Is the boss asking him to treat the customers well but they are resisting? It's easy to say, then just keep a distance and take care of them.

When Stanley walked forward, his personal assistant and secretary, a blond man in his 20s and a 40-year-old brown-haired middle-aged man, quickly greeted him, "Boss? Your expression..."

As a theater tycoon like the Shaw Brothers, Stanley Durwood is usually considered a big boss. After suddenly coming to Hong Kong this time, he left his secretary and assistant outside Zhao's Building to meet Zhao Donghuai alone.

, at first I thought it was some good friend from early in life, an old friend inviting him to play?

When they were temporarily separated before, Stanley's mood was excited, happy, and a little excited.

But his professional secretary Ben Stone and his 20-year-old life assistant Michelle both found their boss's expression a bit cold and gloomy.

Stanley shook his head, "Go back to the hotel first!"

Just like that, he got in the car and set off until he got to the Peninsula Hotel. After thinking about it, he picked up the phone and called out. He waited for one call after another. After a while, he received a call from Warner Ross.

"Ross, what kind of person do you think Zhao from Hong Kong Island Pictures, the same Zhao who distributes such series as John Wick and John Wick at Warner Bros., is?"

The Stanley Durwood brothers were able to become North American theater tycoons thanks to the North American Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission after World War II.

It was because they felt that large groups such as Paramount, Warner, and Universal had formed a vertical trust system that they pushed the major Hollywood companies to package, sell, and transfer their projection departments, that is, theater chains.

Then came the theater giants such as Regal and AMemark. In this regard, Toei Toho in the island country and Shao Daheng in Hong Kong are actually the same in nature as Warner and Paramount in the early years, but they are just

The British and island countries defined it as a trust and forced them to split it up.

Of course, if you have a theater chain without good movies, you will definitely be starved of money. Although the current theater chain giants and the major Hollywood film groups often have conflicts in the proportion of box office sharing, they can still cooperate happily.

He just wanted to know who Zhao Donghuai was!

It's inexplicable, it's so confusing, he has never known that person, why is he becoming a senior partner? A partner?

On the other side of the phone, Ross was stunned. He was silent for dozens of seconds before asking curiously, "Mr. Derwood, why would you ask such a question... Let me sort out my thoughts. Mr. Zhao from Hong Kong Island, a Hong Kong Island filmmaker? He is a very good person."

What a good person."

"Without one of his movies, we at Warner might have to split up several divisions and sell them off, thus losing weight. Do you have any intersections or conflicts with him? If you need help, I can put in a good word for you."

Is Zhao Donghuai a good person? Of course he is. As for the Dragon and Tiger martial arts masters who are disabled or died in the big crew, they all have complete pensions, and everyone is voluntary... Even action superstars like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie,

You may get injured even while filming and be hospitalized for several months.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Isn’t it common for ordinary dragon and tiger martial artists from Hong Kong or the island country to have disabilities during filming?

As for that guy who is crazy about trampling on the images of international big names in movies and idol dramas? Those international big names have not sued? Oh, by the way, I remember Nike sued him, Eucalyptus is walking, and Meteor Garden is still a hit bombing Asia.

Nike keeps suing and doesn't bother to take up the lawsuit that no one cares about. After all, even if you win the lawsuit, it is completely meaningless to claim millions of Hong Kong dollars from ATV or F4.

Does Nike care about those millions of Hong Kong dollars?

You see, Coca-Cola and Nike are like that, but Zhao Donghuai still plays and sings every night, with unlimited coolness. Isn't this a good person?

Following Rose's words, Stanley Durwood fell silent. He couldn't understand. A theater tycoon like him called Warner, found the person who should be the most familiar with Zhao Donghuai, and asked him who the person named Zhao was. He actually got a good person.

evaluate?

What age is this? In the adult world, can a person be simply defined by good or bad? Is Ross a qualified businessman?

After taking a puff of the newly lit cigar from life assistant Michelle, Stanley said calmly, "I'm not asking this. In business, what if my AMC bypasses your Warner and cooperates directly with him?

What do you think, Warner?"

Ross took a deep breath and said, "Then I wish you happy cooperation."

Stanley, "..."

Stanley took another puff on his cigar, "That's it??"

Ross was speechless and said, "That's it. Zhao is a good person, a good person that I admire very much in the business world. Even if we can't cooperate in the future, it will be easy to get together and get together easily."

"Anything else? Mr. Durwood?"

Stanley rubbed his forehead, "By the way, I heard that Warner Bros. and Mr. Zhao have not reached an agreement on the theatrical distribution of the new movie?"

Ross said politely, "Yes, from new action movies to super science fiction, we Warner have made a lot of money, but his new movie "The Ghost Story" is a romance movie about a man and a ghost falling in love. For Zhao,

Said, the span of movie types is too big."

"Mr. Durwood, let me tell you the truth. Love is a big hit in Asia. Personally, I can take a gamble even if it costs 50 million US dollars to buy out. But you know that we at Warner have just stabilized our airs. Big Boss

I don’t want to gamble for the sake of stability.”

"Zhao was unwilling to offer 35 million to buy out European and American distribution."

Stanley was thoughtful and chatted with Ross for a while before hanging up the phone.

Most of the exchanges with Ross made him completely disbelief that the other person was a qualified businessman. If the businessman was his subordinate, he would have been fired directly.

But the relationship between man and ghost is not over?? Very good?

The movie will be released in Hong Kong on September 7th and has already been released. But doesn’t it also have a video room? The Peninsula Hotel also has video tapes and color TVs.

When he found an English version of the video and watched it with his life assistant Michelle, Michelle burst into tears and said, "Boss, this movie is so touching, so moving... I really want it too."

How can a person love me so much..."

Zhang Guorong, who still loves the heroine so much even after death? What a great singer.

Stanley, "..."

He quickly picked up the phone and called Zhao Donghuai, "Zhao, your company's movie has a lingering love affair. Didn't you negotiate the distribution with Warner Bros.? Since we are going to become partners, can we directly go to AMC theaters?"

"

There is a high probability that this will be a love movie that will hit the box office.

Try this movie first??

Because Warner, Universal, Columbia, etc. were all theater giants in the past, but the projection department was dismantled by the Supreme Court. Only then did AMC and other theater chains rise. In terms of distribution... they really can't cheat Warner and Universal.

How big is Hollywood?

But trying to trick outsiders? Or foreigners from North America? That’s a lot of fun.

"As long as you are willing to cooperate, I will let my AMC channels fully promote and distribute it. It doesn't matter if I spend 10 million U.S. dollars on the promotion fee. I am very happy to make money from watching this movie!"

Should the 10 million U.S. dollars for promotion be included in the theater chain's promotion costs so that it can be recorded later? The total box office will be deducted 10 to 20 million U.S. dollars after tax, and we will divide it proportionally.

As for me being very optimistic about it... but its box office ended up being rubbish? Isn't this normal? If the industry is optimistic about whether a movie will be a hit or not, how can there be a movie that loses money?

North America is like this, and Europe is like this. After he bombed Europe and America with confidence and calculation (the relationship between humans and ghosts is still unresolved), Zhao Donghuai still owed him money.
