Chapter 504 Find an Equivalent Enemy

Li Changheng did not directly answer United Artists General Manager Baron Columbus's question about whether the United Artists management will stay.

Instead, he smiled and asked, "You must have debts, so the question is, you have been authorized by the board of directors, can you decide to sell now?

Or do you have to report to the board of directors of Dulianmei to answer me? "

Barron looked at Michael's people, and saw that they had no intention of leaving at all, and Li Changheng, the rightful owner, didn't seem to want to keep it a secret.

I can only helplessly think about the bottom line of the board of directors' $40 million before I came here.

Thinking of Lianmei's debt of 7 million US dollars, I lowered my head and thought for a moment before asking, "SIR, are you paying it off in one lump sum?"

"Of course", Li Changheng nodded, "Not only will I pay the full amount, but once Lianmei belongs to me, I will also inject 10 million US dollars into the company.

Even if you can come up with a studio plan that satisfies me, United Artists will soon bid farewell to the embarrassment of having to rent a studio from other film companies.

Moreover, I have prepared a full $150 million in cash.

Now that you only need 45 million to buy you, how to use the remaining 105 million depends on your ability. "

God.

Lianmei's face flushed with ecstasy, while Michael's was frustrated and wanted to commit suicide.

"No problem, BOSS."

Barron said without hesitation, "For 45 million US dollars, you can get one without any debts.

And everyone revolves around you, and Lianmei is based on your will. "

As soon as Barron finished speaking, he immediately decided to call the United States tonight, and asked his staff to immediately take over the distribution rights of the completed films from four independent producers.

That's almost $600,000.

Then, by selling the overseas copyrights of the two films in the past year, plus the cash in hand, it is not difficult to erase the debt of 2 million US dollars.

As for why it is issued for others, the money can be received first.

It's just because independent films these days are not eligible for dividends. If they want to distribute them, they have to pay distribution fees and even publicity fees first.

Just like Li Changheng bought theaters by himself, conducted premieres, radio advertisements, and even funded more than a dozen funds for disadvantaged groups.

To put it bluntly, it is actually an independent release.

The only difference from an independent producer is that he has money and enough money to do whatever he wants.

Therefore, for Barron's, the consequences of suddenly releasing a few more movies are nothing more than giving some benefits to the cooperative theaters in the future.

But if Lianmei can't sell it, or if he hesitates in front of the new boss at this time, the position of general manager must not be his own.

It's a pity that Barron still doesn't understand Li Changheng.

For him, without fully understanding United Artists, he will definitely not dismiss the existing management immediately.

And to be honest, although United Artists has always been at the bottom of the big Hollywood film companies, it has been able to support it until now in the depressed market environment of the 1950s and 1960s, which is considered very good.

The only trouble is that United Artists is not a member of the American Classification Review Board.

Once this company has a rising momentum in the future, 100% will be restricted by means of classification.

Just like if Home Alone is rated for all ages or PG-13, there will be fewer children watching it.

The PG-13 rating, as the name suggests, is not recommended for children under the age of 13 to watch.

Even if you want to watch, you must be accompanied by your parents.

As for the limit standard, this is actually very vague.

To be honest, there are quite a few curse words in Master Alone's family.

There is no problem with the lowest grade of G and the ordinary grade of PG, but it is not impossible for someone to insist on PG13.

Directly using movies as examples, Transformers, Avatar, and Titanic are representatives of PG13.

Thinking of the part in the Titanic where Rouwen and Jack are in the car, and the part where the two stalwarts on the chest are exposed in the room and let Jack paint.

You can know the grading and rating of the Americans, and the moisture is very large.

So if the US Film Classification Committee really dares to rate Home Alone as PG13, Lee Jang Hyung will definitely stare at any of their PG-13 movies in the future.

As long as there are naked roads, swear words, violence, and even reading scenes in the movie, he promises to let the lawyers stare at the rating committee and sue the American Film Association, which is controlled by the seven major companies.

Moreover, it is reported all the time, every year, as long as he is caught, it is guaranteed that doubts will appear in newspapers all over the United States.

But if you do this, disgusting people are indeed disgusting, but it seems that they can't fundamentally solve the problem.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng couldn't help looking at Michael's person.

Then I thought of Mike Corleone who always wanted to clean up.

Since anyone in Las Vegas can initiate a takeover of Michael Enzyme, so can the Corleone family.

Moreover, the Corleone family really moved to Las Vegas to work in the hotel industry after the old Corleone died.

Li Changheng looked at Michael's person and said, "After watching the movie, let's talk about the release of this movie, and by the way, tell me whether there is a specific standard for movie classification."

"SIR, are you still willing to hand over the movie to us for distribution?"

Li Changheng smiled and handed the folder in his hand to the other party, "This item made me understand your current situation, and it was also the direct reason why I decided to give up the acquisition."

When Karman Hyde and a few others from Mikozy heard this, they immediately wanted to slap themselves.

If it wasn't an unnecessary move, the 150 million US dollars would have been spent on Mi Gaozi.

Not only immediately get rid of the danger of bankruptcy, but also leave at least 30 million US dollars to make movies.

Thinking of this, Kallman said unwillingly, "SIR, we, we can talk again."

Li Changheng raised his hand, interrupted Kallman, and said without pointing it out directly.

"You have to understand that a mikozyme is not important enough to make me an enemy of those people in the south of the United States, as well as the truckers who are influenced and secretly controlled by certain people.

However, for the sake of the importance you attach to me and the dedication you have given to Mikozyme, handing over the movie Home Alone to you is a thank you, and it is also the beginning of our friendship.

As for the others, we can talk about them after watching the movie. "

While Kalman Hyde and the others were unwilling, they quickly heard the meaning of Li Changheng's words.

During the time period when someone has issued an acquisition invitation, as long as a good movie can be released, every extra million earned can increase the price of Michael Enzyme by at least 3 times.

After all, based on the price-earnings ratio, 3 times is really not high.

If the influence and media exposure are counted, the market value of the film company is not even as high as the 20 times the profit of the high-tech industry.

Even because there are too many uncertain factors in movies, even the profit valuation of the real industry.

But no matter how you calculate it, five times or seven times is still no problem.

And if it goes public, Hollywood, which is extremely easy to manipulate its books, is more likely than any other industry to obtain financing from overseas funds in comparison with the difference in tax rates and tax rates in other countries.
