After much fussing, only one Fox remained.

Xu Baihui was not satisfied.

Goldman Sachs is even more dissatisfied.

Well, Goldman Sachs sent out such a high-level team, thinking that they could negotiate a big deal with the rich people from Asia. For a case of 1 million US dollars, if you go to Hollywood this time, you can always make 10 million US dollars, right?

As a result, there was a lot of trouble, and it was just the case of Fox.

If I had known this earlier, why would it be so troublesome?

With Roswell's familiarity with Dune Capital, he made a phone call and explained the intentions of both parties clearly, and the matter was settled.

Not willing to give in!

Fortunately, Roswell was not a bad person either. That night, he held a party with several well-known Hollywood producers and invited Zhou Buqi and Xu Baihui to attend.

A luxurious villa halfway up the hillside of Beverly Hills is very luxurious.

Looking at the luxury cars parked at the door, you can tell that the size is quite big.

When I walked in, I saw, wow!

There are also acquaintances!

Isn’t that the famous Brother Cheng Long, the light of the Chinese people?

Zhou Buqi had met him several times, and Xu Baihui became even more familiar with him.

After the meeting, Cheng Long explained that his new film "The King of Kung Fu" had done well at the box office and helped Lionsgate Pictures make a fortune. What Hollywood is best at is chasing the rise and killing the fall. This film made money, and the next film is scheduled to be released.

Coming soon. The movie project has been approved. It is a family action comedy "The Agent Next Door".

As for the capital behind this movie, there is a lot to say.

It is a platter investment that Relativity Media participated in. The partner is Lionsgate Pictures. The cooperation model is the same as "The King of Kung Fu". Lionsgate Pictures is just an independent production company with limited funds, so when filming "The King of Kung Fu"

, I only contributed a small amount of money, which was all funds found from outside. I pulled in a sum from Huayi, and also received a mixed investment from Relativity Media, and it was all put together.

Now the situation has changed.

Facts have proved that Brother Cheng Long still has a global market. Since there is a high possibility that he will make money, there is no need for Huayi to share the benefits. Lionsgate will pay for Huayi's share out of its own pocket.

Lionsgate is considered the healthiest independent film company in Hollywood and can afford to spend money. However, Relativity Media cannot. In the past few years, they have participated in too many investment projects, investing in an average of 45 movies every year.

!

Including Sony, Universal, Warner, Paramount, Lionsgate, New Line, DreamWorks and other film companies.

Many times, it is an investment behavior that belongs to Yin Chi Mao Liang.

Even before I got the funds from Wall Street, I signed the contract in Hollywood. Then I took the signed contract and went to Wall Street to find money.

This operating model has allowed Relativity Media to quickly become the largest platter investment partner. Looking for money with a contract will definitely have a higher success rate than asking for money with empty words.

This allowed Relativity Media to rise rapidly and become bigger.

However, risk is directly proportional to reward.

The risk is too great to do this.

Once Wall Street runs out of money, the platter of contracts will be lost.

Wall Street has no money?

How is it possible?

But this weird thing is really happening right now.

This is also the reason why Mr. Roswell wants to throw this party, which is tailor-made for Zhou Buqi. Not to mention other movies, Cheng Long is one of your own, you have to help, right? You have to help Cheng Long

, it was necessary to take over the deal from Relativity Media and buy the platter contract belonging to Lionsgate Pictures. This led to another case being negotiated, and another US$1 million was obtained.

"Pick it up! Got to pick it up!"

Xu Baihui couldn't restrain her excitement and pulled Zhou Buqi to whisper.

"Lions Gate?"

"Well, that's Cheng Long!" Xu Baihui quickly explained her point of view, "Imported films can only get 13% of the box office share, but if they are co-productions, they can get 43%. Lionsgate saw that there was money to be made,

Just abandon Huayi. We can just take over the platter contract through the relationship of Relativity Media. Jieyu Media can replace Huayi and become the first-class film company in China."

Zhou Buqi was a little funny, "Aren't you too narrow-minded?"

Xu Baihui gritted her teeth and said, "I don't care, I just like Cheng Long."

Zhou Buqi glanced at her and nodded, "Okay."

This time I came to Hollywood to invest in movie platters, not to make money, but to help Xu Baihui's career go further, and to take Jieyu Media to a higher level through Hollywood's international influence.

Just like "The Voice".

Now NBC in the United States and BBC in the United Kingdom have started production. It stands to reason that to produce this kind of "remake" variety show, several people from the original team will be borrowed as consultants, and the original team will even be specially invited to do some program design.

guide.

But Jieyu Media did not receive such an invitation.

People don't like it at all.

Jieyu Media’s reputation is too small.

This wave of in-depth cooperation with Hollywood is to help Jieyu Media become famous in the film and television circles around the world!

Whether you make money or not is secondary.

Anyway, with "Avatar" as the foundation, it's hard to lose money.

Next, Roswell and Cheng Long introduced Zhou Buqi and Xu Baihui to many Hollywood celebrities and powerful people, as well as several very beautiful actresses. Unfortunately, there were no big names and they didn't know any of them.

The next morning, Zhou Buqi was in his hotel, waiting for Bix, the head of Relativity Media whom he had met last night.

Roswell strongly recommends it.

Relativity Media holds the rights to more than 65 Hollywood films in the next two years, including 7 film companies including Universal, Sony, Warner, Lionsgate, and DreamWorks, with a total capital of US$1.4 billion and an average shareholding of 30%.

-40%.

If Jieyu Media wants to develop in-depth and long-term cooperation with Hollywood in the field of platter investment, Relativity Media is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

Zhou Buqi was too lazy to listen to the two of them boasting about themselves, and asked bluntly: "Mr. Bix, how big of a funding gap do you have there?"

"this……"

"Mr. Bix, I don't like to go around the bush when doing business. Let's keep the story short."

"Well……"

Bix glanced at Roswell.

Roswell said calmly: "Mr. Zhou is a big business man. If you have any difficulties, just tell him. He is very busy and may only stay in Hollywood for a few days. If he wastes this opportunity, he may

There will be no next time.”

Bix coughed slightly, "About 200 million US dollars."

Once the gap of US$200 million is resolved, Relativity Media will be able to survive. Next, it will be able to survive by relying on the profits from the movies.

Zhou Buqi said simply and neatly, "With US$200 million, I will choose 10 movies."

Bix made quick calculations in his mind.

The movies selected by this Asian tycoon must be large-scale commercial productions, and the investment costs will be between US$100 million and US$200 million. 10 The total investment in the film will be approximately US$1.5 billion, and if it accounts for 35% of the shares, it will be 525 million.

dollars.

It is equivalent to a platter investment project that Relativity Media spent US$525 million to buy, and it is sold for US$200 million... which is almost a 40% discount.

Not for this price.

The more commercial blockbuster it is, the more valuable it is.

"Mr. Zhou, this is not acceptable, it is too much." Bix pondered for half a minute and expressed that he could not accept it.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "What's your plan?"

Bix said: "$200 million, five movies. Or $500 million, 10 movies."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "This is not in line with the current economic situation. Mr. Will, you are engaged in investment and mergers and acquisitions, so you should be the most experienced. This is the same as corporate financing. You must be the best in the company."

Financing should be done at the right time, not when the company’s capital chain is broken.”

Roswell nodded, "Well, that's right. Bix, for Relativity Media, now is not the time to focus on making money or losing money. What we need to focus on now is the issue of life and death. If we can't get the money, the company will lose money."

Bankrupt."

Bix said: "Even if it goes bankrupt, we have so many high-quality movie platter resources that can compensate investors for their losses."

Zhou Buqi curled up his lips and said something heart-wrenching: "What about you? What benefits can you get from it? If the company survives, you are the big shot in Hollywood. If it goes bankrupt, you are nothing. 200 million

US dollars, 8 movies. This is my bottom line. Mr. Bix, I will give you one day to think about it. In the afternoon, I will go to Marvel to talk. This time I come to Hollywood to make platter investments, and my budget is limited.
