Although Brilliant Entertainment was one of the top ten companies in Hua Xia's entertainment industry, it was still a far cry from those giant companies. There was no comparison at all.
With Chu Heng's strength, it was basically a fool's dream to get an overseas cinema chain through official channels.
To build a cinema chain that covered Europe and the United States, it would require at least 600 billion USD. Not to mention them, even those big consortiums would have to sell everything they had in order to get that much money.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, no entertainment company can eat such a big cake alone. Unless everyone works together to apply to the government, there is a possibility of success."
Chu Heng nodded and said, "We have already contacted them. I hope the result won't be like Hua Xia's cinema chain."
Xiao Yunhai was not optimistic about these entertainment companies. The main reason was that they were too weak. Moreover, if the cinema chain was in their hands, it would be better to give it to some companies that did not engage in the entertainment industry. At least there would not be a monopoly situation.
Of course, with Xiao Yunhai's status, if he wanted to get a foot in, it was still possible for him to get a small share.
His father-in-law, Zhao Mingsheng, had asked him about this before. Xiao Yunhai did not dare to make any guarantees, only saying that it was worth a try.
After all, those overseas countries had not agreed to this matter, and the various national policies had not been announced. No one knew what the result would be.
After flying for eleven hours, the plane finally landed in Los Angeles.
After changing their clothes, Xiao Yunhai and the others walked out of the airport.
At this time, it was eight o 'clock in the evening in Los Angeles.
The butler, Ivor Spencer, who had been waiting outside, immediately greeted them. Xiao Yunhai greeted him and introduced him to everyone, "This is my butler, Ivor Spencer. We will stay in my manor tonight. Tomorrow, we will go to MGM Grand to look for their crown prince, Kree Smith."
Chu Heng smiled and said, "Then we will impose on you."
After more than half an hour of driving, everyone arrived at Xiao Yunhai's villa.
Looking at such a luxurious manor, Chu Heng sighed and said, "This place is really beautiful. There is no such place in Hua Xia. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "America is vast and sparsely populated, and the price of land is cheap. Compared to Hua Xia, houses are not expensive. For example, I spent 100 million USD on this villa. If it were in Hua Xia, it would cost at least 1 billion Hua Xia yuan. "
Chu Heng shook his head and said, "You can't buy it even with one billion. "I have a friend who bought a high-end villa in Hangzhou. The area is only one-third of yours, and the environment and facilities are incomparable. The price is 800 million Hua Xia yuan. Hehe, no wonder everyone likes to buy property overseas. It's indeed very good. "
At this time, the butler, Ivor Spencer, said, "Sir, dinner is ready. Are we going there now? "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course. The food on the plane wasn't enough. My stomach was growling now. Director Chu, Director Jiao, let's go eat first, then I'll get someone to bring everyone to their rooms. "
The few of them nodded and followed Ivor Spencer to the dining room.
After dinner, the rooms were arranged. Seeing that it was still early, everyone took a walk in the manor.
Chu Heng sighed and said, "I used to think that the villa I lived in was not bad, but compared to this, it's like heaven and earth. When I have spare money, I will definitely buy a villa here. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Director Chu, don't worry. It won't take long for your spare money to arrive."
Chu Heng was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
Jiao Fangtao chuckled and said, "Director Chu, what Yunhai means is that after 'Xiao Cui' is released in European and American cinemas and achieves good results, won't you have spare money to buy a villa?"
Chu Heng laughed and said, "That's for the best. To be honest, when I think of 'Xiao Cui' being released in European and American cinemas, I'm really nervous. I'm afraid that I won't be able to adapt. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Director Chu, you don't have to worry about this. Director Jiao's version is very good. Although Hua Xia people feel uncomfortable watching it, foreigners definitely won't have a problem. Director Jiao, I have to say that it's not easy for you to modify 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio' to this extent. "
Jiao Fangtao shook his head and said, "This is not my credit. When making this version, Director Chu invited several experts who are proficient in domestic and foreign culture. After countless discussions, they finally decided on it. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Then what's there to worry about, Director Chu? With the quality of 'Xiao Cui', it's definitely not a problem to sell well at the box office. Who knows, your approach might even become a typical example of Hua Xia movies attacking Europe and America in the future. "
Chu Heng said, "Maybe I'm too nervous."
The next morning, Xiao Yunhai brought Chu Heng and Jiao Fangtao to MGM Grand Film Company.
When a slender American girl with long hair saw the three of them, she quickly went up to them and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm Mr. Smith's new secretary, Selina. Mr. Smith is already waiting for you. Please follow me. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Isn't this guy in his office?"
Selina said, "Mr. Smith changed his office. That's why he asked me to pick you up here."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Under Selina's lead, the three of them arrived at Kree's new office.
The door was ajar. Kree was discussing something with a middle-aged man.
Selina knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Smith, Mr. Xiao and his friends are here."
Kree nodded and said, "Let them in. We'll do it this way. When you go back, write a detailed proposal. "
"Okay."
The middle-aged man turned around and saw Xiao Yunhai. He smiled politely at him before leaving the office.
Kree said, "Selina, you can go out. I'll call you if there's anything."
Selina nodded and slowly left. When she left, she closed the door to the office.
Xiao Yunhai sat on the sofa unceremoniously and looked around Kree's office. He said, "This place is not bad. It's spacious and bright. There's even a living room. It's much better than the one you used to have. Tell me, does that secretary, Selina, have some kind of ambiguous relationship with you? "
Kree rolled his eyes and said in perfect Hua Xia Mandarin, "Forget it. I'm not in the mood to hunt for women recently."
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Why?"
Kree glared at him and said, "Isn't it because Hua Xia wants to build a theater here? The American Congress is in an uproar over this matter. It's very chaotic right now. If the government really agrees to your request, the impact on our major theater chains will be unprecedented. "
