Hollywood, Melrose Avenue, Paramount Pictures Headquarters.
In the dazzling flash, Kang Jianfei and Martin Davis signed his name at the same time, then stood up and smiled and held it, posing for the reporter to take photos.

After a burst of applause, the room was filled with the sound of camera shutters, and the reporters attending the meeting were not stingy with their film at all.
Among the major film giants in Hollywood today, Paramount has always been in the top three, and has even been at its peak for a long time.
This time, an Asian person came to acquire Paramount and became Paramount's second largest shareholder with a 37% stake, which is big news throughout California and even North America.
After Kang Jianfei and Martin Davis completed the signing agreement, they walked down the rostrum side by side, and immediately countless reporters surrounded them for an interview.
Mr. Davis, why did Haixi sell that 29% of Paramount shares?A reporter asked first.
Martin Davis, in a formal outfit, smiled and said: Mr. Kang is a movie businessman with unique vision. I am very confident in Paramount's future in working with him.
As soon as Martin Davis finished speaking, a Chinese reporter immediately said: Mr. Kang, I am a reporter from the United Press, the United States World Journal. Do you want to enter Hollywood in full after you invest in Paramount?
Like Martin Davis, Kang Jianfei was answering questions in circles: North America is the world's largest film market, and as a film investor, he naturally cannot miss this opportunity.
So will DreamWorks shift its focus to North America?The Chinese reporter continued to ask.
Kang Jianfei said: The focus of DreamWorks, now and in the future, will always be the Asian market.The Asian market is an emerging sunrise market. I believe that one day, it will develop there no worse than the North American market.
Then the Chinese reporter had to ask another question, and another American reporter had already spoken first: Mr. Kang, what changes will Paramount have after you enter Paramount’s shareholders’ meeting?Will it increase the number of films shot on Asian themes?
Kang Jianfei said: First of all, it is naturally to reorganize the board of directors. I personally don’t interfere too much in Paramount’s daily affairs.As for whether the number of Asian-themed films will increase in the future, this will definitely not be the case.But I hope to build a bridge in the United States and Asia to increase the opportunity for film workers in Asia and North America to communicate with each other.
Li Zhi followed Kang Jianfei at any time, holding the contract he had just signed. When she saw Kang Jianfei talking around many reporters, she felt a sense of pride in her heart.
After answering questions from more than a dozen reporters, Kang Jianfei left with Martin Davis.
In the next two days of shareholders' meeting, Paramount's board of directors was reorganized, and Brigitte Lin and two other senior executives from DreamWorks became members of the board of directors as representatives of Kang Jianfei.
In fact, the shareholders of Haixi Company are not very involved in Paramount's affairs. They basically only focus on accounts. The company's development route is left to Paramount's president.
If this attitude of complete decentralization is established as a capable president, Paramount will develop very well. Paramount, who had been in the past ten years, happened to meet two very awesome leaders.
Now Paramount's president is a kind of mediocre person who is content with the status quo and follows the rules. Paramount Pictures is currently supporting the two assistants of the former president.
In another time and space, in the next two or three years, Paramount quickly declined after the two former presidents' aides Michael and Jerever were poached by Disney, and was finally sold by Haixi Company as abandoned children in 1993.
And the two poached former presidents' assistants, Michael became the president of Disney, and Jerever became the president of Animation DreamWorks, both of whom were great.
Now Kang Jianfei has entered Paramount's shareholders' meeting. The guys who don't understand movies in Haixi directly handed over the company's decision-making power to Kang Jianfei. As long as Kang Jianfei does not do anything, he can formulate the company's development route.
The first thing Kang Jianfei did after he took the power of Paramount was to remove the current president and replace him with Shirley Lansing, who was invited by Kang Jianfei himself.
Even if Kang Jianfei doesn't know Hollywood, he knows that there is a woman who has been in charge of Paramount for 13 years.
She is Shirley Lansing. Later, Hollywood's annual Women's Rights Award was named after her.
In the 1990s, when Shirley Lansing took over Paramount, Paramount had already fallen to the back of the eight major film companies, and she sent Paramount back to the top.
The movies such as "Brave Heart", "Forrest Gump", "Titanic", "Mission Impossible", "Face Change", "Truemon's World" and "Save Private Ryan" were filmed when Shirley Lansing took charge of Paramount.
Sherry Lansing was not a small person at this time. She served as the general manager of 20th Century Fox 8 years ago, and later founded her own independent production company with her boyfriend Stanley Jiafei.
Her boyfriend Jia Fei is not a simple character, but the general manager of Futuristic Paramount Media. The two couples have one president and the other, and they can be called Hollywood's golden partner.
This time, after receiving the invitation from Kang Jianfei, Shirley Lansing and Stanley Jiafei immediately put down their independent production company and came to Paramount to take office.
In just a few days, Paramount's executive changed it in Kang Jianfei's hands.
Shirley Lansing was appointed President of Paramount and her boyfriend Stanley Jiafei was appointed General Manager.
Michael and Jerever, two future great men, after Kang Jianfei personally contacted them, thought that their professional film skills were great, but their vision and ability in the management company were still a little immature. They were temporarily appointed by Kang Jianfei to be responsible for Paramount's production work.
Shirley Lansing, who became the head of Paramount, appeared in the Hollywood industry journal "Variety Show" with Kang Jianfei.
The front page picture of this episode of "Variety Show" is a photo of Kang Jianfei smiling and looking straight ahead, as well as Shirley Lansing looking back and laughing.
An Asian, a woman, became the actual decision-maker of Paramount, a veteran Hollywood giant, which made many American conservatives sneer at it, waiting to see the joke about Paramount’s decline.
Next to the front page picture, "Variety Show" has a big title printed: "Paramount's New Master".
The media in the United States have been quarreling, and some American media even said: Japanese people are buying things everywhere in the United States with US dollars, buying land, buying buildings, and buying all the goods that can be seen and invisible. Now the Chinese are here, who will be the next person to come to the United States to shop?
There is no way, if the Japanese buy a hundred companies in the United States, it would be better than Kang Jianfei's acquisition of 37% of Paramount's equity, because as a Hollywood movie giant, Paramount is the focus of attention.
With the American media like this, Hong Kong newspapers are going crazy.
"Oriental Daily" directly created a big title on the front page headline: "Kang Jian flew into Paramount, the victory of Hong Kong filmmakers"!
"Ming Pao", "Xinbao", "Hong Kong Financial Report", "Sing Tao Daily", "Daitian Express", "Wen Hui Po", "Ta Kung Pao"...
Whether it is a newspaper that is neutral in the left and right, or a newspaper that is more in entertainment, current affairs, and financial terms, the headlines of this day are all photos of Kang Jianfei shaking hands after signing with Martin Davis.
The attention of cultural and entertainment companies is far greater than that of ordinary companies, so Kang Jianfei's actions will cause such a powerful sensational effect.
As the news spread, it reached the streets and alleys of Hong Kong. Kang Jianfei bought the entire Paramount Pictures instead of just becoming the second largest shareholder.
In addition to Hong Kong media, newspapers from Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia are also competing to report, but they are not as sensational as Hong Kong.
What Kang Jianfei unexpectedly did not expect was that the mainland's "News Broadcast" and "People's Daily" both reported briefly on the news that Kang Jianfei acquired Paramount, and popularized the science of what kind of company Paramount Pictures was.
At the moment of the news, Kang Jianfei's name was remembered by many domestic senior decision-makers. Before that, Kang Jianfei was just a relatively influential Hong Kong businessman in the field of culture.
Taiwan has no attention to this matter at all. It is not because of the news control, but because President Chiang Kai-shek just died half a month ago. At this time, the people of Taiwan are still in sorrow and sadness. The newspapers are busy posting articles mourning the president before. How can they care about what happened in the American entertainment industry?
Hong Kong, Jiahe Film Company.
Zou Wenhuai sighed as Kang Jianfei shook hands with Martin Davis in the newspaper. He suddenly felt that he was old, not physically, but mentally old.
Kang Jianfei has spent a lot of money on developing film and television cities over the years. Although buying land and building has increased a lot of value, he has never invested in cash.
Zou Wenhuai never thought Kang Jianfei could easily take out more than one billion US dollars. The acquisition of Paramount shares was definitely a big deal that he had tried his best to play, and he would never be able to do it.
In fact, Zou Wenhuai guessed well, and Kang Jianfei had really sacked a lot of his efforts and drew up so much funds, and some of them were borrowed from the bank.
Kang Jianfei mobilized a total of US$2 billion in funds and acquired the 37% of Paramount shares, spending a total of US$1.7 billion.
Kang Jianfei has other uses for the remaining nearly 300 million US dollars of funds, which is to acquire Japan's Sega Games Company.
The price of Kang Jianfei was obviously high when he acquired Paramount shares. This was an agreement he reached with the shareholders of Haixi Company, and the reward was that Kang Jianfei acquired Japan's Sega Games Company from Haixi at a low price.
For Haixi shareholders, they invested in Sega, a small game company, and made dozens of times the profit in more than ten years. This is a good opportunity to sell it.
However, the president of Nakayama who bought Sega Japan in the original time and space has not appeared yet, and it is mostly the result of the butterfly effect.
Kang Jianfei knew that Sega, who is still a star in the Japanese electronic game industry, will become an international game giant in a few years.
This deal was made by Zhou Yu, who was willing to fight Huang Gai, and both parties were very satisfied with the transaction. Kang Jianfei bought 80% of Sega's equity for only US$68 million.
If Kang Jianfei was robbed when he acquired Paramount's equity, then Haixi Company sold Sega to Kang Jianfei, which could definitely be called a big sale. Sega's property rights in Japan alone were worth nearly 40 million US dollars a few years ago. In recent years, the yen has appreciated Ah in recent years. In addition, Sega's development has always been very good. Under normal circumstances, Sega Games Company could not get it without hundreds of millions of US dollars.
