Chapter 276 Everyone has their own thoughts
Fang Hexuan came to visit 20th Century Fox. In addition to the actual inspection, he also wanted to establish a good relationship with this film company and continue to maintain a cooperative relationship in the future.
Although this relationship may only last less than two years, there is no such thing as a permanent solution in business.
An ambitious and tyrannical person like Murdoch would definitely be very difficult to deal with. If he acquired 20th Century Fox, even if DreamWorks could continue to cooperate with it, it would probably be more troublesome and the conditions would be more stringent than before.
Fang Hexuan was thinking whether he could get involved when the old man took action against the company in two years.
Even if we still cannot prevent its acquisition in the end, can't we seek cooperation in the struggle?
If DreamWorks really wants to enter Hollywood, it can only make more friends and fewer enemies.
To build good relationships in advance, a helmsman like him is needed to plan and implement it personally.
Historically, after Murdoch acquired Fox, Alan Ryder Jr. was invited by Murdoch to continue serving as CEO of the film company.
So Fang Hexuan still respects this guy very much. At the very least, he can be one of the candidates for CEO of DreamWorks' American branch in the future.
In Fang Da Mowang's plan, reproducing some classic Hollywood IPs is definitely the only way for DreamWorks to gain a foothold after entering Hollywood.
However, some IPs, such as the "Terminator" series, were first filmed by Cameron in 1984.
DreamWorks may not be able to catch up at this time.
If it was filmed in Hong Kong, even if Cameron himself was invited to direct, it would be almost impossible to achieve the desired effect relying on Hong Kong's film technology.
Even if the film is successfully made, how can it enter the American market? How can it be guaranteed to be released on the largest scale?
These problems cannot be properly solved by DreamWorks alone at present.
Therefore, in order to own the "Terminator" series, he certainly needs to sacrifice some interests and cooperate with one of the Big Seven, either Universal or 20th Century Fox.
Fang Hexuan would never believe some of Cameron's interviews about the story conception of "Terminator". Even if it was true, he shot it first. Could Cameron still sue him?
This is a film series with a production value of at least tens of billions of dollars. He will not be foolish enough to give it up for the so-called "respect for intellectual property rights".
What's more, mastering such IP will definitely be of great benefit to DreamWorks' future development in the United States.
He plans to work with Universal or 20th Century Fox next year and get Miramax involved.
Even if he has to give up some profit sharing, he still wants to increase the popularity of the IP while maintaining the ownership of the IP.
Since little Alan Reid was willing to show goodwill, Fang Hexuan also reciprocated with a gift.
"Thank you Mr. Ryder for giving Stephanie a chance. She is a girl who loves art and is passionate about her work. I believe Fox will not be disappointed."
Young Alan Rider was very impressed by the young man in front of him. He also learned some of his background information and was deeply shocked and impressed that he could earn nearly 10 billion US dollars on his own at such a young age.
The other party’s film company in Hong Kong is also developing rapidly, which is enough to show that Fang Hexuan is also talented in company management.
Which of the top film companies in Hollywood does not have ambitions for global expansion?
Now that China and the United States have good relations, many large domestic companies have begun to plan to enter that super large market which is almost virgin land, and the film industry has the same idea.
Although he is only a CEO and not a shareholder of the company, it does not mean that Alan Rider Jr. does not have a long-term global strategic vision.
At present, the Chinese market still has room for development, but in ten or twenty years, it may become a big box office comparable to the largest overseas market, Japan.
Alan Rider Jr. has a strong sense of professional ethics. As a CEO, he must work hard for the interests of the company, both in the short and long term.
If 20th Century Fox really enters the Chinese-language film market one day, DreamWorks will definitely be a company that can cooperate with it.
When people seek cooperation, of course they value each other's strengths and hope that their partners have sufficient strength. DreamWorks is definitely an excellent choice.
It can even be said that Alan Rider Jr. values Fang Hexuan and DreamWorks more than the CEO of Universal. "Mr. Fang is a friend of ours at 20th Century Fox, and your girlfriend is naturally also a friend of ours. Helping friends is always something we enjoy doing."
"Haha, Mr. Ryder is indeed the best and most visionary CEO of Fox!"
"I also hope that DreamWorks can cooperate with your company on a film project next year. We will come up with the idea and script, and both companies will invest together. The film will be shot in Hollywood, and the box office profits will be divided according to the contract. How do you think?"
Little Alan Ryder was startled, then he reacted, nodded, and said with a warm smile:
"Mr. Fang is indeed a man who never lets his friends suffer. What else can I say except thank you?"
Fang Hexuan nodded with a smile and held the other person's hand.
"Haha, we are all in the same boat, so there is no need to keep thanking each other!"
······
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon after visiting 20th Century Fox. Fang Hexuan did not take a detour to Miramax to check out the situation, but chose to return.
In the car, Stephanie held Fang Hexuan's right arm with both hands and pressed her body against him. She didn't care even if she moved violently from time to time.
The reason why she behaved so clingy was naturally related to the fact that the CEO of 20th Century Fox promised to give her the role.
Compared to the various shopping sprees of the past two days, Stephanie is even more excited about stepping into Hollywood today.
So, how could she not try even harder to please the man who brought her all this?
She leaned her head on Fang Hexuan's shoulder, suddenly raised her head and smiled sweetly:
"Thank you, dear!"
Fang Hexuan was still thinking about the problem just now, and was a little confused by this sentence, so he asked:
"Oh? Thank me for what?"
"To help me get a movie role, of course."
"Haha, what's this?"
"Yeah, I know Charles you're the best."
Hearing this, Fang Hexuan stared into Stephanie's eyes and asked with a deliberate smirk:
"What's so great about me?"
Seymour was smart enough to understand his meaning from his eyes and smirk.
“They are all great, really!”
"Haha, thank you for the compliment!"
"To be honest, if Miramax has a suitable role, I will ask Harvey to keep it for you."
"Mmmmm, thank you dear."
"However, I still suggest that you don't give up modeling training so easily. You can use your free time to take some acting classes."
"Although Harvey and Mr. Reid are willing to give me face and let you make a movie, they are not fools. They will not give important roles to an outsider like you who has no acting experience."
"Yeah, I know. I will definitely work harder."
After saying that, she happily kissed Fang Hexuan on the right cheek.
Thanks to Hao Vjie for the monthly ticket and recommendation ticket!
