Chapter seven hundred and ninety-eight of the rhetoric at the press conference!
Starting the second day after Yin Jun went to Disney, the three acquisitions were no longer hidden.
First, the official statement of Southern Company issued a statement, selling the 7-11 brand property rights to Xiangjiang Kirin Group for a total amount of US$550 million, but retaining the operating rights in the United States through franchise.
Immediately followed by Pan American Insurance, the controlling shareholder of Lianyi Film Company, also held a press conference in the evening, announcing that Lianyi Film Company was officially acquired by Xiangjiang Kirin Group for a price of US$360 million. From now on, they have become subsidiaries of Xiangjiang Enterprise.
Finally, Disney Company.
On the next day, before the stock market opened in the morning, they applied to the New York Stock Exchange to conduct a full privatization and delisting acquisition by Xiangjiang Kirin Group, which has acquired 75% of Disney's shares.
The New York Stock Exchange and Goldman Sachs are wearing the same pair of pants. Their deputy director is an executive who went out of Goldman Sachs. After early communication, the acquisition was immediately approved. As for the price, it was 120% of the closing yesterday.
In this way, Disney was merged into Kirin Group, which is inevitable.
It was also at this time that Qilin Group also held a press conference, with Yin Jun sitting in the middle of the rostrum, but the specific news affairs were hosted by Yu Zheng, vice president of Qilin Group and general manager of Qilin Film Company.
At the press conference, she explained the process and purpose of Qilin Group's acquisition of the 7-11 brand, Lianyi Film Company and Disney Company, and was confidently prepared to make these three companies bigger and stronger.
7-11 The media does not care much about this company that operates outside the United States. What they care more about is Lianyi Film Company, which has a decades-old history, and Disney Company, the favorite Disney Company of children around the world. What will happen next?
They all used to have pride and glory. Although they have sunset, if they are even more dilapidated by the company in Xiangjiang, it is not what everyone is willing to see.
Yu Zheng introduced a lot, and then it was time for the reporter to ask questions.
The first reporter immediately raised his hand and was allowed to ask a question.
He knew very well who the owner of Qilin Group was, so he looked at Yin Jun and said, "Mr. Jun, why did you buy Disney and Lianyi? Do you know their culture and history clearly? Are you fully prepared?"
Yin Jun knew that the reporter would not be so gentle today, but he didn't expect that he would be talking about this topic as soon as he started.
He nodded, "First of all, my surname is Yin. You can call me Mr. Yin. Jun is just a pseudonym... There are so many companies in Hollywood, and the reason why I bought these two companies is because they are most suitable for me. Of course, I know about their history, and I respect the efforts made by Mr. Chaplin and Mr. Disney. However, everything is forward, and we cannot continue our previous practices just because we have so many achievements in the past."
The reporters' eyes lit up. Is this going to use their big move?
What changes should he make?
Could it be a complete change?
As a result, Yin Jun closed his mouth and signaled to the host next to him to find the next question.
What!?
The reporters below almost fainted in anger.
You're finished talking now?
Did you start just now?
Is there anyone who is so enticing?
But fortunately, the second reporter continued to ask, "Mr. Jun... Oh, Mr. Yin! What you said just now is just a rough idea. Can you explain it in detail? I believe that thousands of fans of 007 and thousands of children who love Disney animation are all looking forward to you bringing them better works! And you are a genius cartoonist! Do you have plans to make cartoons or movies now?"
Yin Jun knew that if they didn't give some real information today, they wouldn't give up.
It just so happened that Yin Jun was willing to let them convey some information to the outside world, and everyone took their own needs.
No one knows the importance of exposure than Yin Jun.
If an entertainment company has no exposure, it is a very dangerous thing.
When the attention comes, everyone will naturally be more impressed.
"You just mentioned 007. I haven't had the idea of doing 007 for the time being, because now is not the time." Yin Jun smiled, "But this year Lianyi Film Company will definitely release a big production movie. This is "The Speed of Life and Death" directed by me personally. I hope you will like it after watching it."
"It's the 'big' production that cost $17 million? Starring the Hong Kong people?" Another reporter said sarcastically.
It can be seen that he knows Yin Jun enough that most people don’t have time to go to Xiangjiang to investigate Yin Jun’s movements.
"The reservation is 17 million US dollars, but it may increase again." Yin Jun smiled and ignored his pick. "I invited one of the best special effects production companies in Hollywood to produce the later stage. As for which actors are used, I don't think it's important. What's important is the plot and the production is excellent. I believe that everyone will not regret buying movie tickets after watching "The Speed of Life and Death".
"But, won't Lianyi Film Company make its own movies?" Another female reporter asked, "I am your loyal book fan of Mr. Yin. I like to read the "Da Vinci Code", "Forrest Gump", "Song of Ice and Fire", and "Jurassic Park" you wrote. These books have the potential to adapt movies, why not consider it?"
When she said this, everyone suddenly realized that Jun was not only a genius cartoonist, but also a genius writer.
The above books have firmly dominated the United States in the past two years. The major rankings in the United States, both in terms of reputation and sales, are absolutely top-notch.
No, it's not just the United States, these books are very popular all over the world.
The United Kingdom, Germany, France, Argentina, Spain, and other countries are all classic bestsellers in the top ten for many years.
Thinking of Yin Jun having so many best-selling books that can make movies, the reporters began to be optimistic about the fate of Lianyi Film Company.
You know, at least one-tenth of the book fans will watch adapted movies, and after several movies a row, Lianyi Film Company will make a lot of money!
"I also hope that these books can be adapted into movies for everyone to see, but the time has not come." Yin Jun is still very patient with his book fans: "For example, "Jurassic Park", the current special effects technology cannot achieve the effect I want. In fact, this is also the main reason why I invest in the digital field. I hope they can speed up research and speed up the special effects to create better visual effects!"
The fact that Yin Jun's investment in the digital field has been known about this big reveal, and the reporters will not be surprised to hear it.
The female reporter was not satisfied, "Special effects are one aspect, what about "Forrest Gump"? This is an extremely excellent novel, adapted into a movie. Is there any difficulty?"
Yin Jun couldn't help laughing, "That's because the Forrest Gump in my mind hasn't appeared yet."
"It would be too mysterious to say this? What if this person never exists?" the female reporter said disappointedly.
"He will appear. I know he is there, and he will definitely appear!" Yin Jun replied seriously.
The female reporter was very satisfied with Yin Jun's answer. She was a literary youth and liked such emotional answers the most.
So she decided to go back and write a good report and praise the talented boy.
Naturally, she didn't know that Yin Jun was not emotional, but was just telling a fact.
Tom Hanks is still a handsome 24-year-old man, and he is not suitable for Forrest Gump's image at all. This image requires him to gain weight and become more matched after he becomes disabled.
Another actor was changed, but Yin Jun didn't like it.
That silly person, full of persistence, never giving up, and at the same time, his heart is full of kindness and innocence. Only Tom Hanks can have flavor and charm.
Even 007 is the case. In Yin Jun's eyes, Pierce Brosnan is the most suitable actor to play 007, at least for 20 years.
But Pierce Brosnan is still a drama actor in the UK and will not come to the United States in 1983.
Seeing Yin Jun having a happy chat with the female reporter, the remaining female reporters almost stood up and hoped to ask Yin Jun a few more questions.
But seeing that it was getting late, Yin Jun could only press it with his hands and said, "Although Lianyi Film Company has no plan to make a movie, Disney has it. I have a script here, and I plan to hand it over to them after the acquisition is completed, so that they can make a classic that everyone can admire."
classic?
Still looking at each other with admiration!?
The reporters were full of disbelief.
How long has it been since Disney made a classic cartoon?
Yin Jun didn't wait for them to ask questions, and raised his voice a little: "If the global box office of this cartoon does not exceed 800 million US dollars, I will withdraw from Hollywood from now on! All journalists and friends are welcome to supervise!"
"ah!?"
Everyone was blown up now.
Do you want to be so exaggerated?
It's just an animated movie. You actually want to get a box office of 800 million US dollars, which means it's almost twice as high as Spielberg's "Jaws"? It's close to 200 million yuan higher than "Raiders of the Lost Ark"?
Who gives you the confidence that he is so arrogant?!
For a moment, most of the reporters felt a little dissatisfied with Yin Jun's arrogance.
They think Yin Jun doesn't understand Hollywood and doesn't respect Hollywood, so they talk so much about box office.
Because everyone thinks that Yin Jun will definitely not be able to do it, he is firmly remembered to his promise that he claims to "quit Hollywood".
Wait!
If this cartoon is completely defeated, let us show what you said today and let you know what the power of the "uncrowned king" is!
Chapter completed!
