Reborn Capital Madman

In the eyes of many businessmen, movies are just a tool, and their practicality exceeds artistic nature.

At this stage, Hollywood has four major film companies, MGM, Warner, Paramount and United States, and have been acquired by the consortium.

Among them, MGM was the worst, and was sold and mortgaged by Cork Kirkirian to raise funds to open a casino in Las Vegas; United States has the least presence, and in the eyes of the wealthy Pan American company

, it is a completely propaganda tool; Warner and Paramount left some dignity.

Steve Rose, who started his career in the funeral industry, and Charles Bludoen, who started his business in auto parts, regarded Warner and Paramount as promotional tools, while also seriously regarded it as important in diversified operations.

ring.

From this, it is not difficult to see that Charles Bludoen has no feelings for movies.

Furthermore, when interest exchange is needed, Charles Bludoen did not hesitate to use the movie as a bargaining chip, without any concern, which would have an adverse impact on the artistic nature of the movie itself.

Gao Xian asked to arrange a role for the person he recommended in "The Godfather". Charles Bludoen agreed without even asking about the details.

As for the difficulty of fulfilling the promise, of course, the subordinates found a way to solve it.

Robert Evans, who was used by Charles Bludoon to the position of President of Paramount, had already figured out the boss' temper.

Seeing that Charles Bludone had no room for turning around here, Robert Evans could only hope that Gaoxian should not be so difficult to deal with.

So, Robert Evans asked tentatively: "Gao, who is the Chinese actor you recommend who is good at kung fu?"

"Bruce Lee." Gao Xian replied casually: "As far as I know, he has cooperated with Paramount in TV series."

Robert Evans suddenly said: "I remember it, it was the kung fu star who has been popular in Southeast Asia and East Asia recently. It is said that Warner has also found him."

Gao Xian nodded, "Since you know, that's the best, so I won't introduce it again."

Robert Evans exchanged a wink with Francis Coppola and said, "So, Gao, please let Bruce Lee come to see us as soon as possible and discuss the arrangement of his role."

"Bruce Lee will come from Hong Kong as fast as possible." Gao Xian's eyes turned to Charles Bludoen, "I have no other requests."

Charles Bludoen immediately understood that everyone was not idle. Take the time to sign the contract and pay the money when it was time to pay, and then everyone was busy with their own things.

The filming of "The Godfather" was shut down for a while, so the losses were inevitable.

After some adjustments, the shooting budget of "The Godfather" increased from the original $6.5 million to $7 million, and the high string invested one million to share 20% of the profit.

If "The Godfather" still makes a sequel, Gao Xian can follow this rule and continue to participate.

As for the conditions for arranging Li Xiaolong's performance, it is written in an attachment.

Robert Evans and Francis Coppola soon discovered that Gao Xian was really hard to fool, but he was easier to serve than Charles Bludorn.

From Charles Bludoen's polite attitude towards Gao Xian, it is not difficult to see that Gao Xian is an investor with a good background, but compared to this strength, Gao Xian is not aggressive, which makes Paramount

These people were breathless.

Mario Puzzo, the author of the novel "The Godfather" and the screenwriter of the movie "The Godfather". In addition, Francis Coppola, who has won the Oscar for Best Screenwriter, adds a reasonable scene to Li Xiaolong. It's too simple.

It's right.

Gao Xian and Li Xiaolong, who came from Xiangjiang, had already analyzed it thoroughly when they communicated. This is a pasta that pleases American audiences. It has nothing to do with us Chinese. Being able to accumulate resources will help

That movie that went to Italy was even more successful.

Li Xiaolong is of course very satisfied with the opportunity to participate in "The Godfather". No matter how straight-hearted he is, he knows the rules of the game in Hollywood. Everything now depends on the way Gao Xian found.

When it was confirmed that the Godfather would definitely be released at the end of the first quarter of next year, so that he could take advantage of the situation, Gao Xian ignored it because Intel CEO Robert Noyce kept urging him to meet him.

Zhou Wenyao, who was arranged by Gao Xian in the United States, vividly described this anxiousness, "Boss, Robert Noyce is almost crazy. If you don't see you again, he will go to Xiangjiang to block people in person."

Gao Xian smiled leisurely: "The more anxious Robert Noyce is, the easier it is to discuss things."

Gao Xian knew why Robert Noyce was anxious, because he was the initiator. In addition to buying soft articles, criticizing the movie "The Godfather" for praising the mafia, and then stepping on Paramount's brakes, he also bought soft articles and comments

The current development status of the semiconductor industry is hyping up Texas Instruments' progress in the microprocessor field, thereby achieving the goal of adding Intel throttle.

The soft articles against Intel are much better than those against Paramount. They are unconsciously better. One big proof is that even Texas Electrical Appliances itself believed it, and then proudly claimed to the public that it was close to completing four people.

The microprocessor TMS    1000, and as analyzed in the report, became the world's first microprocessor.

In fact, the United States has long developed microprocessors and has successfully applied them to the main flight control system of the US Navy F-14 Tomcat fighter.

Because the US Navy believed that this technology was too advanced, it was secretly announced and continued until 1997, and was widely known to the outside world.

Gao Shi knew about this, but he did not reveal it himself, but instead boasted with all his strength that Texas Instruments' technology was leading, which further stimulated Intel's nerves.

Seeing Texas Instruments claiming in a vague way that it will release the world's first microprocessor, Intel, which is preparing for IPO, was depressed, "We have also developed this kind of microprocessor, but all the relevant rights

, they were all sold to Gaoxian."

Now, the reason why Robert Noyce is anxious to find Gao Xian is because he wants to buy back the things he had sold before.

So, Robert Noyce couldn't wait to get straight to the point: "Gao, Intel is willing to pay three times the cash and buy back all the relevant rights of that chip."

Gao Xian made an understanding statement and nodded, "There is no need for cash, so it's better to exchange it for stocks. In addition, I want to subscribe to seven times the original Intel stock."
