Chapter 956 Stupid
The major film giants in North America all stand behind a media group.

The reason why Dick Group has undergone tremendous changes is because, at the beginning of this year, Yakang Media acquired Dick Group.

This kind of merger and acquisition involving tens of billions of dollars naturally involves many aspects.

As a result, the Dick Group experienced frequent top-level changes.

The Dick Group was merged, and the top management, the former president, was fired and replaced with a new president, Steven Johnson from Yakang Media.

This kind of high-level internal fighting in large groups is quite popular, and it just so happens that Rand is a direct descendant of former president Depp Owens.

Naturally, the emperor and the courtiers.

However, Rand's development of the Huaguo market in the past few years, as well as his cooperation with the Lingxiaoge Group to turn enemies into friends, have given him a lot of supporters within the Dick Group.

The original board of directors, including the Dick Group, were very satisfied with Rand's achievements.

Steven Johnson had just taken office, so he naturally wanted to promote his direct descendants, and Rand naturally became Steven's opponent.

For a senior professional manager like Steven, he certainly knows the importance of Rand, and he doesn't mean to do anything about Rand, but just wants to incorporate Rand.

But Rand itself has a high prestige in the Dick Group, so suppression is naturally inevitable.

Rand's biggest achievement is that he has a very good cooperative relationship with Lin Xiao of the Peak Tower Group, which has brought a lot of high-quality project profits to Dick Group in the past few years.

Such high-quality projects as "Kung Fu Panda", "Once Upon a Time in Huaguo" or "Once Upon a Time in China", "Terminator" and "Home Alone", even Steven Johnson couldn't do it just because he wanted to suppress Rand. to give up.

But suppressing Rand is what Steven Johnson must do at present.

And Legendary Pictures naturally bears the brunt, and there was no good way for Steven Johnson.But at this time, Lin Xiao, the founder of Legendary Films and the Peak Pavilion Group, was rumored to have come up with a ridiculous movie project at boxing champion Harrison's party.

Steven Johnson, like many media people, is not so optimistic about this project.

But Rand was just the opposite. He had a kind of confidence in Lin Xiao, so he naturally took the lead and won the distribution rights of this 'ridiculous' movie.

But this proposal was opposed by the new management headed by Steven Johnson.

If Steven Johnson opposes a project like "Kung Fu Panda" that has brought a lot of profits to the Dick Group, it will definitely not be passed, and it is likely to cause accountability from the board of directors.

But this time is different, because many people are not optimistic about Lin Xiao's "Taken" project, because it is really too child's play.

Even the big names in Hollywood are not really optimistic about this project.

Therefore, Steven Johnson expressed doubts about Rand's super favorable conditions, because according to the conditions given by Rand, once "Taken" fails, Dick Group will suffer a lot of losses.

In fact, not all of Lin Xiao's projects were successful. For example, although the "Three Kingdoms Series" was also screened in North America, the results were very unsatisfactory.

Steven Johnson grasped that not all of Lin Xiao's projects were successful.

It said that specific problems need to be analyzed in detail, and one size fits all cannot be done, otherwise, Dick Group will eventually have to pay for the losses of Lin Xiao's project.

This statement was recognized by most people. Of course, Steven Johnson later stated that he could win the distribution rights of this film, but he needed to improve the conditions.

Rand said angrily: "If because of this incident, there is a rift in the cooperation between the Ling Xiaoge Group and the Dick Group, then Steven Johnson, the president, needs to be responsible for it!"

Although some people were touched by this, in fact, there are still many people in North America who naturally look down on Chinese filmmakers.

And they subconsciously believe that Dick Group itself is also a shareholder of Legendary Pictures, and Dick Group has signed a package distribution contract with Legendary Pictures for a few years before.

In other words, in their view, even if Lin Xiao wanted to find distribution partners for those projects, it would not be so easy.

In fact, this is also the status quo of most Huaguo film companies in North America.

Because Huaguo's films rarely sell well in North America, in many cases, Huaguo's film companies do not have any right to negotiate fairly on the North American side.

This also led to many of them grouping Ling Xiaoge and other film companies in Huaguo into the same category.

But I forgot, Ling Xiaoge is not any other company.

The movies produced by the High Heaven Pavilion are not only very popular in China, but also in North America.

Of course, Ling Xiao Ge does lack distribution channels, including film distribution, DVD, and peripheral products.

But they forgot that Hollywood is not just a giant of the Dick Group. Maybe many Hollywood giants don't care so much about the films of many film companies in Huaguo, but that's because those movies can't bring them benefits, but Ling Xiaoge is different. The several series of movies in the Ling Xiaoge have proved that they are no worse than the best-selling series in North America.

In the face of interests, how can they care what country you are from?
Moreover, in Steven Johnson's view, it is obviously difficult to find a publisher for "Taken". In his opinion, the distribution contracts that Dick Group gave to Ling Xiaoge before were too generous.

This is also a trial!
But he did not expect that although many media affiliated to North American giants sneered at "Taken", perhaps this could indeed mean that they were not optimistic about this movie, but Steven forgot that Dick Group and Ling Xiaoge The cooperation has already made other giants jealous.

Perhaps winning the distribution rights of "Taken" under such generous conditions would indeed make them lose a fortune, but it would definitely not be much. Moreover, it would be able to tear a rift in the close cooperation between Ling Xiaoge and Dick Group.

"Actually, I also think that we should not only cooperate with the Dick Group." Nami looked at Lin Xiao and said.

"Oh? What do you think?" Lin Xiao asked.

Although Nami is the president of Legendary Pictures, and strictly speaking, Legendary Pictures also owns the shares of Dick Group, but Nami knows that Legendary Pictures is actually just an agency company of Peak Pavilion in North America. As Lin Xiao just said, the purpose of asking Nami to help register the shell company couldn't be more obvious.

That is, Lin Xiao no longer intends to put all his film projects in Legendary Pictures.

"Because Dick's Group can't give us more, but other Hollywood studios can." Nami said.
