Chapter 228 Chengtian is not Zhen Chengtian
Han Sanping hung up the phone, knowing that Li Chen had transformed into a dragon.
1.18 billion US dollars to control New Line Cinema.
As soon as this news broke out, it was a huge blow to Chengtian’s HK$200 million holding of Jiahe. ’
Han Sanping called the Children’s Bureau back.
Not surprisingly, Tong Bureau was also shocked.
Except for these two people, Chenglong's heart was indescribable at the moment.
He is an old man from New Line. After seeing the reports online, he called Shea from New Line as soon as possible.
The news he received made him tremble.
Li Chen quietly became the boss of New Line.
The copyright of his Rush Hour series belongs to Li Chen from now on.
Chenglong adjusted his mood and called Li Chen.
As soon as Li Chen hung up the phone on Wang Changtian, Chenglong called in.
"Li Chen, congratulations, it turns out that the big project you mentioned at the celebration banquet that day was not a movie, hahaha." Chenglong smiled heartily.
Li Chen didn’t expect Chenglong to find out so soon.
"Thank you, brother. The final conclusion has not been finalized until today, so I have kept it secret from you."
"That's right. It really needs to be kept secret until something like this happens. By the way, can I come back next month?" "
"If you have time, come and support me. Yinghuang and Bona and I will set up a brokerage company."
Li Chen thought to himself about Bona Yinglong.
"I will definitely go if I have time." Li Chen did not finish his words.
Chenglong didn't force himself and hung up the phone. Chenglong also lamented that Li Chen's rise was so fast that it was almost dazzling.
I’m afraid my current net worth is already astronomical.
He has always felt that he is rich. Since 1998, his income has topped the Chinese entertainment industry.
While domestic first-tier artists earn several million a year, he already earns 200 million a year.
Wang Zhonglei of Huayi finally knows why Zhou Xun was able to sign a contract with Warner Music directly through Warner headquarters.
It turns out that Li Chen and Parsons are connected, but how could these two people intersect?
Wang Zhonglei did not contact Li Chen. He knew that contacting Li Chen would not necessarily give him the answer.
I just asked Li Yu to contact Yang Siwei to inquire.
Not only Yang Siwei is busy, Liu Yifei is also busy.
As soon as Li Chen was in the news, she seemed to have become his spokesperson.
Shu Chang was eating snacks while watching his best friend being bombarded with phone calls.
"Sissi, what on earth is Brother Chen doing in Hollywood?" Zhu Yawen also started to call Brother Chen, seeming closer.
"Go and ask your brother Chen, you are asking me, it's so annoying!" Liu Yifei said impatiently.
Her classmates, ever since she and Li Chen got together, they would call each other every now and then to keep in touch.
Of course, Zhu Yawen is excluded.
Really, all human beings are philistines.
"Please, he is my boss, he is the only one who asks me, how can I dare to ask him!"
Shu Chang laughed loudly while listening, while Liu Yifei ate on the speaker phone Fruit likes to be indifferent.
"Changchang is here too?"
Shu Chang couldn't bear Zhu Yawen being ignored: "You are so pitiful little pig, you don't dare to ask your boss, so you dare to harass you Boss lady!”
"You, the boss lady, have been harassed to the point of transformation. I advise you to kneel down!"
Zhu Yawen laughed and said: "No, curiosity killed the cat. You must know it, so just reveal it. ”
Liu Yifei hung up the phone directly.
Zhu Yawen did not give up and sent another message to Shu Chang.
Shu Chang looked at Liu Yifei, smiled, and replied to Zhu Yawen with a meaningful text message.
"My brother's waist is thinner, but his legs are a little thicker. Please hug him tight!"
Not to mention Zhu Yawen, every artist from Rongchen Pictures called Yang Siwei. , but has been unable to get through. It can only be discussed in the Q group.
"Sister Xun, you are the eldest sister. What on earth do seniors do in Hollywood? The big boss of Warner and seniors come together. It is scary to think about it. No wonder Sister Xun, you can directly sign with Warner. ”
“I have finally realized the glory of being part of the Rongchen Pictures family. As soon as Director Li was in the news, my phone kept ringing, but I am just an artist who has just signed a contract with the company. I know what a big move it is!”
"Brother Chao, it's good to get used to it. We have already gotten used to it. There are no classmates, friends, or people in the circle who don't gossip."
"You guys are really gossips. Forget it, who made me the eldest sister?" There’s no harm in revealing anything, Director Li is going to take us to the sky this time.”
"Huh? What is it, Sister Xun, tell me half of it."
"Xinxian has changed its surname. From now on, it will be Li. Do you understand?"
There was silence in the Q group, and then Zhou Xun's phone rang.
Deng Chao swallowed, and Sun Li stared at him.
"Brother Chao, is what Zhou Xun said true?"
"Probably, it should be true"
The two looked shocked at first, and then laughed The meaning slowly crept up to the corners of my mouth and eyes.
They laughed and hugged each other as if they had won the Mark Six lottery.
This contract was signed so promptly!
The entire circle is speculating on Li Chen’s actions.
There are rumors that Chi You acquired New Line.
But no one believes it. New Line is not a yesterday’s flower like Jiahe.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. That’s not the bottom dollar in Hong Kong. It’s a dollar.
Hollywood is even more rumored.
Until three days later.
Sina Entertainment News
“Time Warner and Chiyou Pictures simultaneously announced that four New Line shareholders, including New Line Cinema President Shea, signed a share transfer agreement with Chiyou Pictures.”
“Chiyou Pictures acquired 43% of New Line Cinema’s shares for US$1.18 billion, becoming New Line Cinema’s largest shareholder.”
"Time Warner will acquire 35% of Chiyou Pictures' shares for US$580 million and become the second largest shareholder of Chiyou Pictures."
As soon as this news came out, both Hollywood and China were immediately concerned. It blew up.
Hollywood media comments about this merger are also related to the overall environment of the American film industry.
In recent years, the domestic film market in the United States has shown no improvement, with movie audiences gradually losing, and movie DVD sales becoming increasingly weak.
At the same time, the management expenses of film companies are increasing day by day, and film production and marketing costs continue to soar. These conditions are constantly compressing the profit margins of independent film companies such as New Line.
This is exactly the same as DreamWorks being acquired by Viacom in 2005.
DreamWorks is also an independent production company and has also produced many excellent films.
But no one expected that it would be acquired by Red Chi You, who has been famous in Hollywood with horror movies in recent years.
"Brother! This guy Li Chen has acquired New Line!" Wang Zhonglei burst into Wang Zhongjun's office with a face full of disbelief.
Of course Wang Zhongjun also saw the news, and he suppressed the shock in his heart and smiled.
"I have always known that he has strong financial resources, but I didn't expect that he would be so wealthy."
"It's ridiculous to think about it. Orange Sky acquired Jiahe for HK$200 million, and Li Chen acquired New Line for nearly 1.2 billion US dollars. One is a powerful alliance. , one is hurting each other, and the one with the most mixed feelings now is definitely Wu Kebo.”
Wang Zhongjun was right to change the subject, Cheng Tian has indeed become a joke.
Both the Hong Kong media and the mainland media all discussed these two mergers and acquisitions together.
The results are too heartbreaking.
Chi You and New Line both have strong production capabilities, and their combination has greatly made up for Chi You's distribution weakness.
It can be said to be an optimal allocation of assets, and it has been several months since the merger between Chengtian and Jiahe, and there has been no news of a major project.
Southern Weekend News
"Chengtian is not the true Chengtian, and the future emperor will have no head."
Oriental Morning Post News
"Chiyou's acquisition of New Line completed the feat of She Tun Xiang, and Chiyou became an independent production company second only to the Big Six."
