Chapter 1048: No profit

　　 Nearly two hours later, Lin Jian walked out of the Theory of Relativity Building, got in the car with his assistant, and returned to the hotel where he was staying.
　　 The car drifted away, and the Relativity Building quickly disappeared among the buildings of Century City.
　　 Lin Jian changed to a local accent and asked his assistant: "How do you feel?"
The assistant has followed Lin Jian for many years and is one of Lin Jian’s most trusted people. After thinking about it, he said:
As far as all the people and companies we have come into contact with in Los Angeles, Ronan-Anderson and Relativity Entertainment are the best. , But it’s not easy to judge what they are actually doing for the first time."
Lin Jian nodded slightly and said, "In fact, we don't have a better choice except Relativity Entertainment." He sighed: "Sony bought Columbia Pictures through CAA's Michael Orvis. We have also seen CAA. It’s a pair of nostrils looking upright, not to mention how much we have to pay, but this attitude alone makes me nauseous."
　　 Assistant said: "I feel that the attitude is so arrogant, it is bound to continue in the process of cooperation, leading to many unexpected situations."
　　 "This is not our home court." Lin Jian saw clearly: "Attitude sometimes determines everything."
　　He said to the assistant: "You keep in touch with Relativity Entertainment, Ronan Anderson is not easy, I don't understand him."
　　The assistant responded: "Okay, boss."
　　 Lin Jian recalled the first meeting between the two parties. Just as he heard from those who had worked with Relativity Entertainment when he was in China, Ronan Anderson was very friendly to the East, and at least he respected each other.
　　 And with his decades of life and social experience, he can tell that this is not a disguise, but a respect from the heart.
　　In this regard, Qianlu Group wants to make a move in Hollywood and find a suitable partner. Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment are undoubtedly the best choices.
　　 Ronan Anderson's words sounded full of sincerity.
Since Lin Jian wants to set foot in this industry, he must have done his homework before coming here. Based on his understanding, combined with what Ronan Anderson said, it is not difficult to find that there is no deception in the words of the film industry leader. Remind It is also critical.
　　For example, Lionsgate has no international distribution rights. Even if the acquisition is successful, can it really achieve the international influence he wants?
　　 However, things are definitely not that simple.
　　Lin Jian’s years of business experience tells him that Ronan Anderson is likely to be a friendly person to the East, but he is even more a businessman!
　　 It's not profitable and early, what is behind Ronan Anderson's sincerity?
　　 Lin Jian cannot see or think of it for the time being, so he can only be vigilant and observe carefully.
　　 He will maintain close contact with Pacific Investment Foundation and Relativity Entertainment. In the past two days, he will go to the Relativity Building again to visit Robert Iger, CEO of Relativity Entertainment.
　　 Lin Jian is also reminding himself that he must have a stable mind and not rush for success.
　　 When I came to Los Angeles this time, I did not seek to achieve the goal at one time, but I also had to establish a smooth communication channel with Hollywood to lay a solid foundation for subsequent work.
　　 In the reception room of the Relativity Building.
　　 Ronan said to Scott Swift: "You have more contact with them, do you feel that they have a strong desire to acquire in Hollywood?"
"Very strong." Scott Swift said: "They have funds in their hands, but they are still terrifying liquidity. Not only their family, but many Oriental companies are now going abroad, entering the international market, and starting in the whole market. The rhythm of crazy acquisitions."
　　 He also reminded: "In addition, Qianlu Group is a company with real estate as its main business. This industry can become bigger and stronger, and everyone has a deep background in the East."
　　 Ronan naturally knows a lot, thinks for a while, and said: "Scott, you maintain close contact with Qianlu Group. Relativity Entertainment may have the possibility of cooperating with them in the future."
　　 "I understand." Scott Swift replied: "I will rank Qianlu Group as the number one customer."
　　 Ronan nodded slightly and didn't say more. After all, some ideas are still in the preliminary planning stage, and it is not suitable to disclose to Scott for the time being.
　　Leaving the reception room, he went directly to Robert Iger's office and discussed it until noon.
　　 As the topic continued, Ronan simply called Jessica Felton, rejected their lunch at noon, had lunch with Robert Iger, and continued the morning topic.
　　 Ronan needs Robert Iger's rich field operation experience and strong execution ability to help him perfect those preliminary ideas.
　　 It takes a step-by-step process for an idea to become an executable plan.
　　 Besides, Qianlu Group and that Mr. Lin are quite difficult.
Even if Ronan had not studied carefully, he knew that Mr. Lin must have an unusually large force behind him. Considering the huge volume of the oriental market in the future, he was in line with the interests of relativity entertainment and maintaining sufficient vigilance from the beginning. The above shows the sincerity of cooperation.
After 　　, it depends on whether the other party is willing to hold the outstretched hand of Relativity Entertainment.
Ronan has certain hopes, but at the same time, he will not put the key of the plan on Qianlu Group. If the two parties can reach a cooperation, Qianlu Group can take advantage of Relativity Entertainment's advantages in Hollywood, and Relativity Entertainment may use Qianlu. The group's huge capital flow reduces the difficulty of capital.
　　 Of course, Qianlu Group is unwilling to cooperate, and it doesn’t matter. Relativity Entertainment will execute it according to the original plan.
　　 Ronan then also asked Connie to issue a notice to the Eastern branch, further collecting relevant information about Lin Jian and Qianlu Group in all aspects.
　　 In the following days, Relativity Entertainment and the business visit team led by Lin Jian had several conversations. Ronan and Robert Iger also talked with Lin Jianxian later.
In the words of the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the talks were conducted in a friendly and cordial atmosphere. They fully exchanged views, enhanced mutual understanding, and presented each other with gifts, and reached preliminary cooperation intentions on a number of commercial initiatives, which is the establishment of the next stage. The strategic partnership has laid the foundation.
　　Although the two parties have not reached any cooperation in other areas outside of the Pacific Investment Foundation, after many contacts and interviews, a smooth communication channel has been established.
　　 The most important thing is that Lin Jian himself is ambitious. With Ronan's "sincerity" cooperation, he also feels that the acquisition of a small company will not be particularly helpful to the international film and television industry planned by Qianlu Group.
　　 For people like Lin Jian, either don’t do it, or do it to be bigger and stronger.
　　 So, for a company of the grade like Lionsgate, Lin Jian is a little bit look down on.
　　 Today's Lionsgate Films is not the same Lionsgate Films that used to be close to the Big Six.
Since a few years ago, Lionsgate has been unknowingly under the influence of Relativity Entertainment, and its development speed has been relatively slow. Although it has become a medium-sized Hollywood studio, it is only a medium-sized film company at best. Exist, the status is somewhat awkward.
Ronan still has some impression. The original goal of Qianlu Group was the six major Hollywood companies at the beginning, but the six major companies could not be bought with money, and then turned the target to Lionsgate. Rejected, in the end, I could only choose a small-scale film company.
　　 Now that Relativity Entertainment, a seemingly reliable cooperative company of intention, naturally wants a big and strong goal.
　　 Although the two sides are far from trusting, they have already made a good start. Lin Jian is willing to spend time on necessary investigations.
　　 While the business delegation of Qianlu Group and Relativity Entertainment communicated and discussed in a friendly and cordial atmosphere, "The Dark Knight" spent the second weekend in North American theaters.
　　 This superhero movie is still invincible in the North American market. The box office trend is quite stable. The next weekend was only a little more than 50% lower than the first weekend, and the three-day report received 83.66 million US dollars.
　　 In just ten days, the North American box office of "The Dark Knight" has accumulated as high as $332.21 million!
　　 At every step of the film's North American screening, almost a new North American box office record is being created.
　　 At the same time, the film also began overseas screenings this weekend, and it also broke out overseas, with nearly 200 million US dollars in the box office in the first week.
　　 Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the North American box office of "The Dark Knight" has a high probability of exceeding 500 million U.S. dollars, and it is not too difficult for the global box office to exceed one billion.
　　 "The Dark Knight" is completely popular all over the world!
　　 With this film, the clown is now a god! Bruce Wayne is basically a god! Christopher Nolan also gained countless fans. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com
In these ten days, the most uproarious news events were no longer the Joker and Heath Ledger, but the top spot on the IMDB website T0P250 list of "The Godfather", "Shawshank's Redemption" and "The Dark Knight" Contention.
In order to compete for the first place, the fans of these three films lost the most basic face. While giving high scores to their own films, they also gave low scores to the other two. The three warriors were all beaten into dogs. Head.
　　 Ronan did not allow Relativity Entertainment to participate in the scoring battle promoted by Warner Bros., just watching.
　　As a long-established film company, Warner Bros.'s publicity methods are also endless. First, it kills the cards, and then stirs the emotions of the fans to create explosions...
　　 But it's hard to say whether this burst point is good or bad in the end.
　　 Frankly speaking, many of the behaviors of a stubborn fan make it easy to get black.
　　 With the second weekend of "The Dark Knight" in North America, the 2007 North American film summer vacation ended.
　　 In this era, the summer season of the North American film market is still limited to May to July, and August is not included in it for the time being.
　　 will not take too long, the concept of summer vacation will not only increase August, even the last week of April will be included.
　　 As long as it can make money, it’s never a problem to expand the schedule or something.
　　 North American film summer, North America is the result of the commercial film operation of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.
