"Haha, it doesn't matter if I think too little or too much. What's important is that Dream Chaser Entertainment Group is a very good partner. I have a thousand ways to block your plan to acquire Lions Gate's shares, but I

I just made the spokesperson object twice because I know that the person I want to cooperate with is Dream Chaser, not a small Lions Gate. Those shares are a gift from me to you to show my sincerity."

Karl said calmly.

Shao Shuaijun was speechless for a while. The shares I bought with money became a gift from you? How come these capitalists don't feel pain when they talk? Sometimes Shao Shuaijun is really too lazy to talk to such people, and then he rolled his eyes: "After a long day of driving, what's the point?

How can we cooperate?”

Carl's face remained normal: "It's very simple. I will sell you the shares I hold in Lionsgate, and your Dream Entertainment Group will join forces with me to set up a plan and use financial leverage to lure Sony into the trap!"

Blinking his eyes, Shao Shuaijun spread his hands: "I'm sorry, I don't understand financial leverage or anything else. We never break the law in our normal operations. Also, I have never participated in the company's operations from the beginning. The company's decisions are made by the management.

It’s no use looking to me when you’re making a decision.”

"I know it's useless to look for you." Carl agreed with Shao Shuaijun's self-evaluation, "I will personally meet with the top management of Dream Chasing Entertainment. I just hope to get the same opinion as you now, because I know that this company can rise.

It has something to do with your superior vision. As long as you don’t object, I will convince them."

Shao Shuaijun said nothing and remained silent.

Karl seemed to know what Shao Shuaijun was worried about: "My nickname is indeed unpleasant, corporate predator, but you should know about my hedge fund. The funds I control are huge. Many shareholders are willing to trust me and give me their money to operate.

, I also bring them billions of dollars in profits every year. I will never cheat my partners, this is my business belief!”

The tone seemed very sincere.

Shao Shuaijun was a little moved.

In fact, when Carl said that he would join forces to cheat Sony, Shao Shuaijun was moved. In Hollywood, there are too many film companies that do not like Summit Entertainment. And Summit Entertainment, or the company that Shao Shuaijun hates the most, is Columbia.

The parent company of Graduation Films is Sony, and the other is 20th Century Fox Film Company.

Ever since Summit Entertainment acquired Marvel Comics, the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan has been Summit Entertainment’s most important plan. It has amicably resolved the issue of distribution rights for Iron Man and Avengers with Paramount, and has been negotiating with New Line about Blade.

It went smoothly, and Lionsgate also successfully resolved the copyrights of The Punisher, Humanoid, and Kick-Ass. Only Sony held on to Spider-Man and Soul Tank and refused to let go, and Fox held on to X-Men and refused to return them.

If it weren't for Fox's management problems, they wouldn't even be willing to start negotiations on the Fantastic Four.

In fact, in order to get back the copyright, Shao Shuaijun is willing to pay a huge price, and the complete Marvel superhero team will earn back this loss. The problem is that these film companies are not willing to see Summit Entertainment grow bigger, and they are not even willing to negotiate

Start. Shao Shuaijun has no good way to deal with this. This is not a matter of two children competing for candy and grabbing it if it doesn't come.

Now that he heard that Carl was going to trick Sony, Shao Shuaijun unconsciously became interested.

Rolling his eyes, Shao Shuaijun pressed down what he wanted to say and said instead: "Mr. Karl, I think I should go back and think about it carefully before giving you an answer."

Karl swung the wine glass and gestured for a toast: "Of course, we look forward to good news."

After leaving the restaurant, Shao Shuaijun got into the car and asked the driver to go to the airport.

He felt very uncomfortable eating this meal, feeling that every move he made was under Karl's control. These old foxes were really scary.

If he makes the decision on his own, he will probably have to help him count the money after being sold.

You have to go back and discuss this matter with your wife. Li Xiuxiu can support the Dream Chasing Entertainment Group, so she is naturally a superhuman person.

That night, Shao Shuaijun flew to Santa Monica on a special plane and handed the prepared "Avengers" script to Louis Lenard. Louis is Shao Shuaijun's other old partner in Hollywood after Mitchell.

They have collaborated on many films, with Louis serving as producer and casting director.

This time, Louis will not only serve as the producer and casting director of "Avengers", but will also serve as the film's executive deputy director. Working with Shao Shuaijun, Louis has accumulated a lot of experience in the director's profession.

There are already plans to write a good script and direct it myself in the next two years.

Shao Shuaijun gave a lot of support to this, and as long as Louis wrote a good script, he would let Louis direct the movie.

"Louis, you prepare first. The actors who should be signed, like Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Evans, and Mark Ruffalo, sign them now.

Otherwise, after "Thor" and "Captain America" ​​are released, the actor's net worth will rise again."

"Okay." After Shao Shuaijun finished explaining and was about to leave, Louis remembered something again and asked, "Shao, "Avengers" will be filmed next year. In this blank schedule, do you have any filming plans? If not, I

I may be busy preparing the "Warren Files", and when you come to see me again, I may not have time."

"The Warren Files" is a script that Mitchell bought in 2009. At that time, a screenwriter named Tony DeRosa Grund came to Summit Entertainment to submit the script. He pitched to three companies in total, New Line

Studios, Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment.

New Line was not interested, Lionsgate did not offer a high price, and Mitchell was not prepared to offer a high price at that time. After showing the book to Shao Shuaijun, Shao Shuaijun liked the story very much and paid a high price to buy the book. Because in 2010,

After the deadline expired, the script was put on hold until this year, when it was put back on the schedule.

The director has been confirmed and Chinese director James Wan has been invited to direct. James Wan grew up in Australia and his masterpiece is the global sensation "SAW".

After hearing what Lewis said, Shao Shuaijun raised his head and thought about it. He was a little undecided. After a long while, he said: "Leave the schedule for me. I really have a plan. I didn't plan to put it on the agenda now. But you're right.

Before "Avengers", I had a large gap in my schedule. Even if I left part of it for my wife and children, I still had some free time. Well, "The Nighthawks" I directed before was the first IMAX live-action movie, but it failed at the box office.

I did a lot of homework to revise, and finally decided on a plan. "The Night Watcher" does not need to be re-shot. I only need to shoot some additional shots and re-edit the original copy. It will be a complete new movie. I will

I will hand over the supplementary script to you as soon as possible, and you can help me gather the crew again."

"Night Watcher" is a thorn in Shao Shuaijun's heart. He has had a smooth ride in the past few years, but he has always been worried about "Night Watcher", which can be said to be his debut. Almost as soon as he has free time, he begins to analyze the success or failure of "Night Watcher"

, and started revising. Just the notes about this movie filled several notebooks.

If you count the large number of shot albums, the number is absolutely astonishing.

Counting down his two lifetimes, he has been a very simple person, living a low-key to boring life, and all his time is occupied by movies. Perhaps it is this love for movies that allows him to maintain his great enthusiasm for movies and constantly

Retouch and perfect the shots to make the original movie more perfect.

However, making these already popular movies go further cannot hide the fact that he has not yet succeeded in making a movie that is completely his own. Therefore, Shao Shuaijun has never put down his passion for "The Night Watcher". Today, he was reminded by Louis

, he finally decided to film "The Night Watcher" a second time to once again create an original impact.

It was already October 1, 2010, and the era he was familiar with was about to embark on an unknown journey. It was also time to start a new journey. On this journey, he wanted to build a superhero empire and also build one of his own.

Movie dream trip!

"Let "The Night Watcher" regain your confidence!"

The night sky made Shao Shuaijun particularly awake. He lay on the sofa, tossing and turning without any sleepiness.

The time difference between the eastern and western hemispheres is nearly ten hours.

After returning to China, Shao Shuaijun was preparing to have a good sleep. Li Xiuxiu told him the news with a full belly. Today, the 47th Golden Horse Awards announced the nomination list. "Oldboy" directed by Shao Shuaijun won the best feature film.

Seven nominations including Best Director, Best Actor (Huang Bo), Best Supporting Actor (Xu Zheng), Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography (Lu Le), and Best Editing.

This is the first contact with the Golden Horse Awards since the scolding of "The Night Watcher". The Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee can't wait to announce the news that Shao Shuaijun is confirmed to attend this Golden Horse Awards.

"Seven nominations, does this comfort me?" Shao Shuaijun yawned.

Li Xiuxiu has become noticeably plumper now, with a motherly luster on her face: "Can I not comfort you? If you don't speak in the past few years, Sister Mei will not allow the films of Chasing Dreams and Jiahe to participate in the Golden Horse Awards. The Golden Horse Awards are so fast."

It has become a decoration, becoming more and more niche. I finally resolved it with you, but if I don’t give you enough sweetness, what should I do if you fall out again?”

"As for that, I have never held grudges, nor have I asked them not to participate."

"You're such a big*OSS and you're still talking about Chinese-language movies. Several people act without looking at your face."

"Honey, don't say that, it makes it sound like I'm a prostitute, but I'm a good guy." Shao Shuaijun knelt down and touched Li Xiuxiu's belly, "Son, do you think dad is a good guy?"

After getting tired of Li Xiuxiu for a while, Shao Shuaijun took a shower and went to sleep. He had been to the United States for the past two days and had no time to catch up on jet lag. He was very sleepy. The next day, a refreshed Shao Shuaijun told Carl Icahn’s plan.

After hearing this, Li Xiuxiu immediately summoned the company's senior executives to the villa for a meeting.

Of course, the meeting was already two days away.

From October 1st to 3rd, "Warm Corpses" won the box office championship this weekend with US$24.56 million. This result far exceeded the company's expected opening of US$15 million. Gao Zhisheng's directorial debut has
Chapter completed!
