Chapter 1539 DreamWorks Situation, Samsung Barbarian (Part 2)
Chapter 1539 Dreamworks situation, Samsung barbarian (Part 2)
"Wu, we're meeting again."
Spielberg wore a double-breasted power suit style suit that is very representative of this era, with thick and hard wide shoulder pads, loose and full of maturity. Such a "power suit" is also the trend of Hollywood in this era.
"Thank you for your invitation to Steven." Wu Xiaozu smiled and gently vacated him, maintaining a false and restrained smile.
"Have you done something recently? I heard you are on vacation recently?"
Spielberg looked at the "upstart" in front of him with a smile. Who would have thought that in Hollywood, which has always been exclusive, the Asians in front of him had their own way in the Hollywood jungle with their own abilities.
There are not only famous directors who come to Hollywood to make a fortune, but few have succeeded.
No place is more ‘xenophobic’ than North America.
The other party’s success means to a certain extent that he really understands how to tell a Hollywood story.
It shows that both parties have a common language communication foundation.
If you don’t understand the North American market, you will not succeed in this market.
“Just spent the New Year holiday.”
"I know, I have participated in the New Year's event in Chinatown." Spielberg smiled kindly, with less art workers' directness on his face, and more enthusiastic about businessmen.
So some people say that he is easier to get along with than George Lucas, nor is he as artistic as Martin Scorsese... and at the same time, he is more relaxed and pleasant than the Canadian truck driver, and is not so savage and rough.
From the other party, Wu Xiaozu felt the confidence of a great director and the shrewdness of a businessman.
Perhaps because "Schindler's List" has drained his creative enthusiasm, he does not have a very enthusiastic sense of artistic pursuit at this moment, but his eyes are filled with restlessness of "I want to do something big."
"Thank you very much for helping Jurassic Park achieve such excellent results in Asia. It is hard to imagine that he has the talent that is not inferior to film director in film operation and distribution." Spielberg said with a smile.
"Thank you, I think the most important thing is that this group of dinosaurs is attractive enough." Wu Xiaozu said: "There is an old saying in China that no matter how powerful a chef does not have good ingredients, he cannot make an excellent meal."
"Hahaha..." Spielberg smiled, "I don't think anyone would refuse the praise of such an excellent colleague."
He took two glasses of champagne from the waiter's tray, handed them to Wu Xiaozu, raised his wrist, smiled and took a sip of champagne.
"Hollywood is full of opportunities, but these opportunities have their names. If you want to add your name, you need new power to push it."
Spielberg smiled and looked at Wu Xiaozu, "If you have an idea, I think we can have a good talk about your next movie."
“No~”
Wu Xiaozu suddenly refused, without waiting for the other party's face to change, and his smile showed up, "I think it's not just my movie. I'm not sure what Steven you want to do, but I know, as you said, Hollywood needs freshness
Blood replenishment, but people who can do this are standing in front of me.
Although I am a director, I am even more a businessman. If you know me, you should know that we have a foundation for cooperation, funding, channels and issuance. If you have the opportunity, I am happy to act as an angel investor."
Is Spielberg short of money?
Of course not, the drama "Jurassic Park" is enough for him to last a lifetime.
But just as Wu Xiaozu rarely uses his own funds for filming, they want to set up a new company to compete with the existing forces in Hollywood, so they need financial support...
This is the most fundamental.
However, Wu Xiaozu made a big profit on Hong Kong Island this time, and it is hard to say that it is too much. It should be no problem to invest 200 million to 300 million US dollars.
As the saying goes,
When you see Yi Siqian, you can see Yi Fan and you will know that it is full of explosions.
The most important point is that Hollywood is extremely xenophobic. Not only are outsiders like Wu Xiaozu, but in fact, the funds within North America are still very picky. They have always been vigilant about Wall Street - but they are inseparable from each other.
The connection.
The transfer of the Hollywood center of power did not happen overnight.
After Lei Dianhua and Lianmei fell, only six of the eight major Hollywood stars remained.
But these six major surviving ones are particularly vigilant about capital performance.
Both sides have been planning for a long time.
Samsung's goal to become Spielberg this time is not simply because of Samsung's economic strength...
The most important thing is Wall Street Capital behind Samsung.
You think Goryeo is shouting and having fun, but in East Asia, it is actually the most cowardly one - it is not even a sovereign country.
garrison?
more than.
In fact, when the financial crisis of Goryeo failed to survive in 1988, the country's financial sovereignty was "sold" to Wall Street through the IMF.
Wall Street has indirectly controlled the economic lifeline of Bangzi.
This is also a major reason why Korean entertainment and Korean economy have developed rapidly later.
But in fact, Wu Xiaozu can also provide this to them.
He has the money too!
Moreover, there are complete Asian distribution channels and can even feed back. Such temptation undoubtedly made Spielberg excited.
"I may need to ask a few cornerstone investors." Spielberg looked at Wu Xiaozu seriously, weighed the pros and cons, and said, "I personally welcome you to join."
No one can refuse to create benefits for the company.
Even if he has yellow skin.
The successive appearances in Hollywood have achieved results beyond expectations. It is obvious that Wu Xiaozu has stepped into Hollywood with one foot from the foot washing city.
The cost of cooperation between other veteran directors will naturally be very high.
It can be said that Wu Xiaozu himself is a good bargaining chip.
He is the strength, box office appeal, and business ability. However, due to time and other reasons, the status and quotation have not yet increased. But anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is just the tranquility before the storm.
At least Spielberg knew that many people in the circle were asking about the next movie project of the Chinese director in front of him.
Many people even contacted Brookheimer and hoped to be involved.
"I hope there is good news." Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly and expressed his understanding.
Just like every female star has a hand that pushes her to make progress. Since she wants to do a career, there is also real behind the three ambitions of Spielberg, Carsonberg and David Geffen.
Financial owner'-Paul Allen is just one of the most famous ones.
Microsoft's second in command, later the owner of Portland Prison, and the breeder of Seahawks.
He is also a famous investor in North America.
A hippie rich man in anti-cancer.
If Wu Xiaozu wants to enter it, he needs the affirmation of the cornerstone investors.
