When Kang Jianfei stood in front of the red horse again, the horse named Red Pepper seemed to have seen some terrifying creature, and neighed uneasyly and retreated repeatedly.
Martin Davis said: Haha, this little guy is afraid of you.
Kang Jianfei took the saddle from the cowboy's hand and threw it roughly on the back of the Red Chili Pepper.
The horse still wanted to have a quarrel, but Kang Jianfei slapped it on the forehead and immediately calmed down, and he surrendered to fate in his heart with tears in his eyes.
With the help of the cowboy, Kang Jianfei put a harness on the red pepper, then turned over and sat on the fierce horse that no one could subdue.
This time, the red pepper only squirted a few times and expressed dissatisfaction and did not dare to go crazy like yesterday.
The cowboy sincerely exclaimed: Sir, you are a natural knight, and the red pepper has been subdued by you.
Li Zhi laughed happily when she heard the cowboy praise her man. She felt that Kang Jianfei, who was riding on the horse at this moment, was so heroic.
Martin Davis also rode his horse and said: Kang, when you get along with horses, you should not blindly use violence, you should treat them as friends and relatives. Only the power of love can be connected with your horse's will.
Mr. Davis, I think you are right.
Kang Jianfei agreed, but he felt very sorry in his heart: Just tell him a fart, beast, if you don’t listen, just beat him until he is obedient.
If I had a love story with this red pepper, I would have been thrown to death by it yesterday.
Kang Jianfei, Lizhi and Martin Davis rode their horses toward the small lake, followed by seven or eight followers, and soon they arrived at a beautiful lake.
A wooden corridor extends from the shore to the lake more than ten meters away. Kang Jianfei and the other two sat on the wooden corridor fishing, while several horses were placed on the shore to eat grass.
After a while, Martin Davis caught a big fish. Kang Jianfei thought he would put it in the bucket, but he didn't expect the old boy to throw it back into the lake.
Both Chinese and Western anglers enjoy the fishing process, but Chinese people like to take back the fish to cook, and it tastes more fragrant than the fish they buy. It cannot be understood as releasing them after fishing, which will not be simple and less fun in fishing.
Kang Jianfei was fishing while talking nonsense with Martin Davis, while Li Zhi sat next to him and listened quietly, without even notice that her bait was eaten up.
After chatting for a while, Martin Davis took the initiative to turn the topic to the movie and said: The Rain Man you invested in has made a lot of money in the United States and Canada. You are an excellent film investor.
Thanks to the praise, I still have vision in film investors.Kang Jianfei was not humble at this time, but expressed his strengths very confidently.
Martin Davis suddenly changed his mind and asked: But do you know that Paramount's investment is also very successful this year?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Of course, in the box office list before Christmas, the second and third place in the North American box office list this year were produced by Paramount.
Martin Davis added: Last year's North American annual box office champion was also a film invested by Paramount.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said: It seems that Paramount's investment is really successful.
Then are you still thinking about acquiring a large company with good business conditions?Martin Davis looked at Kang Jianfei with a funny look.
But compared to the period when Barry Diller was in power, Paramount has been on a downward trend in the past three years, and the company's annual total box office revenue has been declining, right?Kang Jianfei asked back.
Martin Davis said: But Paramount's box office revenue has always been among the top two among several major Hollywood movie giants.
It was about to fall to third place. Kang Jianfei caught a small fish the size of a palm. The old scholar Martin threw it back into the lake and continued to say that Paramount's current strength in box office is actually still enjoying the beauty of Barry Diller's era. Just shooting sequels can make a lot of money, such as the "Miaotan 2" that Paramount had a box office of more than 100 million yuan this year.Universal Pictures' performance this year is very eye-catching. After 20th Century Fox was acquired by Murdoch, they are also like a wolf and tiger. These two companies pose great threat to Paramount.If the surrounding profits such as travel and record are added, Disney and Warner Bros. are also strong rivals, and Paramount's profits may rank fifth.
Martin Davis asked: Then why do you want to acquire Paramount?
Kang Jianfei said: Because Paramount has that strength and foundation.
Martin Davis asked: Are you going to be the helm of Paramount?
No, Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "We Chinese have generals and generals when fighting. Paramount's helmsman can only be called generals. I can be a general."
General and Marshal?Interesting distinction, Martin Davis laughed, "Con, it's impossible for you to completely acquire Paramount unless you can prove that you can make Paramount develop better, so that I will promise to convince other shareholders to sell you part of it proportionally."
Kang Jianfei pointed to his head and said: My business philosophy is in my mind and can be taken out at any time.
Talk about it.Martin Davis said, I don’t know anything about movies at all, I hope you can convince me.
Kang Jianfei asked: Mr. Davis, do you know my film company in Hong Kong?
Martin Davis nodded: A film company with a very fast development momentum, but unfortunately the big studio system has been eliminated in Hollywood, and American law does not allow the existence of film trusts.
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: No, what I want to say is not this, but DreamWorks' status in the entire Oriental Entertainment Group.
Martin Davis is interested: Oh, tell me.
Kang Jianfei said: I know Paramount was forcibly sold by the US government forcibly forfeited a number of theaters due to monopoly, which was severely damaged and weakened for a full twenty years.However, the US government stipulates that film companies are not allowed to vertically operate production, distribution and screening businesses, and it is not said that other theaters and distribution companies are not allowed to acquire or operate film companies.
Martin Davis frowned and asked: Is this useful?
Of course it is useful, Kang Jianfei said, "My oriental Culture and Entertainment Group's set in Hong Kong can be copied to Hollywood."Movies, TV, music, publishing, animation, tourism, media, all things related to entertainment culture can be put together to promote and develop in harmony with each other. We can build an entertainment empire in the United States, and Paramount is just a part of this entertainment empire.
Kang Jianfei's deception was just to make Martin Davis agree to his investment in Paramount, but these words made Martin Davis think deeply.
In fact, Kang Jianfei is not bragging nonsense. His idea of Big Entertainment is very feasible. However, at this time, Hollywood movie giants were scared by the antitrust bill decades ago and did not think about Big Entertainment's business.
With the diversification of the entertainment industry, independent film companies and theaters have emerged one after another. The United States has relaxed its monopoly standards for the film field a lot. It is no longer a big deal for a parent company to own theaters and production companies at the same time.
In another time and space, the two great men who supported Paramount were poached by Disney, and Paramount declined from then on, and then Bay West Industrial Company sold Paramount.
Viacom, which bought Paramount from Haixi Company, is an entertainment company that started with a chain of cinemas. Since then, Paramount has become a Hollywood giant and has become part of an entertainment company, and Viacom has gradually developed into an entertainment group.
Paramount's change of hands marks the United States' entry into a big entertainment era. Several independent Hollywood film giants have become part of the entertainment media group, and the revenue around the movie has increased ten times and a hundred times.
There were a lot of fish in the lake, and Kang Jianfei caught another fish. He threw the fish back into the lake and summed up and fooled: In my idea, the movie is just an appetizer in the entertainment feast, and the real profit is the big meal that comes later.
Very good idea, aren't you afraid that I'll plagiarize it?Martin Davis smiled.
Kang Jianfei said: To achieve this idea, I am not capable alone, so I need a strong partner.And Mr. Davis, you are a business group and are not familiar with the operation of the entertainment industry. We can perfectly complement each other.
Martin Davis really doesn't know how to run the entertainment and cultural industry. Nowadays, publishing, games, magazines and film companies controlled by Haixi Industrial Company have not participated in specific company operations.
Keep talking.Martin Davis said.
Kang Jianfei said: I want more than 25% of Paramount’s shares, 30% of Japan’s Sega Games, and 30% of the shares of American Simon Publishing Company.In addition, we spent money to acquire Turner Broadcasting Company, and established a TV network on this basis, and then acquired a record company, and the territory of the entire entertainment empire was basically taken.
Martin Davis smiled and said: Kang, your words are very touching, but I am very sorry. I don’t understand this at all, so I don’t plan to invest.
Barry Diller, the last helm of Paramount, brought Paramount to a prosperous period, has advised Martin Davis several times, hoping that he could build a new TV network.
Martin Davis was not interested in this, which made Barry Diller feel disheartened. He was poached by Murdoch more than three years ago, and Paramount went downhill year by year.
Kang Jianfei continued to work hard to convince Martin: Do you understand electronic games?In the most difficult time, Sega of Japan invested a lot of money. Hasn't it now achieved several times the profit return?
Martin Davis shrugged: In fact, I have objections to investing in Sega. Unfortunately, I was not the one in Haixi Company at that time, and the number of votes opposed at the shareholders' meeting did not support much.
Kang Jianfei: ...
Martin Davis said: Haha, this little guy is afraid of you.
Kang Jianfei took the saddle from the cowboy's hand and threw it roughly on the back of the Red Chili Pepper.
