Chapter 1164 Deterrence!

After completing the transaction with Microsoft, Yin Jun spent two days communicating with several core engineers in Microsoft's conference room.

He basically explained the procedures and effects he wanted to these professionals.

The engineers asked Yin Jun very specifically what they needed to achieve.

Because personal computers have just started less than ten years ago, programming work in this era is far from being as convenient as it was twenty years later, and it is much worse than it was ten years later.

Therefore, they have to infer how to write code based on very detailed requirements and how to complete these requirements.

But there is no doubt that the engineers are extremely impressed by Yin Jun's fantastic ideas.

They think the same thing as Bill Gates.

Although that kind of window system has not yet appeared, this major shareholder seems to have seen it and used it for many years and is so familiar with it.

Such a person can only be called a genius!

After finishing my business with Microsoft, there was news from Silicon Graphics over there.

James Clark agreed to Yin Jun's acquisition request and conditions, and was willing to sell Silicon Graphics and all the patents he held to Yin Jun at a valuation of US$10 million.

On the afternoon of the day when the contract was signed, not only US$8 million was transferred to James Clark's account, but US$10 million of technology research and development expenses for the first year were also transferred to the company's account, which stunned Americans who were accustomed to delays in payment. People's motivation immediately increased, and I felt that I would definitely have great success in the future!

The acquisition of Microsoft stock and Silicon Graphics Company is the most important purpose of Yin Jun's visit to the United States this time.

But in fact, Yin Jun did not finish his work because of this. He went back to accompany his pregnant wife. He spent more time appearing at United Artists Film Company and Disney Company.

Entering May, the name of "The Lion King" has appeared openly in the promotion. Whether it is promotional posters or TV clips, these are full of strong elements of the African savanna. At first glance, people will feel that this is It's a movie suitable for watching in the summer.

The release date has been set for the second weekend of June.

Although there are many negative voices, unexpectedly, no blockbuster has come to compete with "The Lion King".

Speaking of which, when "The Terminator" was released last month, countless people had badmouthed the movie and looked down upon it. Paramount also produced a blockbuster film they produced with a production fee of 20 million, and "The Terminator" 》Fight in the ring.

The results are now visible to everyone.

"Terminator" has been unstoppable, and now in May, the momentum is still unabated. It has been released on more than 2,000 screens. It has won the box office championship for three consecutive weeks, and its popularity is unparalleled.

And what about that Paramount blockbuster?

sorry.

Now many people have forgotten that this blockbuster existed at the same time.

Even now, the number of screens has dropped below 500, and the box office revenue is less than 30 million US dollars. If it relies solely on the North American box office, it will definitely not be able to make back the money. It is really heartbreaking.

Michael Eisner was said to have been so angry that he cursed the film's producers, directors, and actors in his office for three days, so scared that the group walked out of the company staggering.

Such a result also makes the Big Six in Hollywood quite trembling.

Yin Jun is so powerful that there is no way to compare!

I always thought that a blockbuster that cost more than 50 million would easily fail, but look at it now? The global box office of "Terminator" has already reached US$400 million!

The craze for "Terminator" has already started all over the world.

In early May, Schwarzenegger went to Mexico to promote his new fitness book. As a result, he was surrounded by more than 3,000 enthusiastic fans, shouting words such as "Terminator!" and "T800". The scene was simply shocking. People are shocked!

What troubles the six major Hollywood companies the most is that it is clear that "Terminator" still leaves some foreshadowing, and there is obviously a second episode.

Once the foundation of the first episode is established, if they can go further, the box office of "Terminator 2" will definitely usher in a blowout, and I am afraid that even 800 million US dollars will not be able to stop it!

At that time, no matter how tyrannical you Hollywood Big Six are, as long as "Terminator 2" confronts your blockbusters, it will be really good to watch, and you can imagine the extent of the box office failure!

Therefore, after some discussions and discussions, they have changed their countermeasures from "direct and tough confrontation" to "propaganda and smear" and "negative reports".

When it comes to movies from Disney and United Artists, if other small productions are okay, if it is a movie written or participated by Yin Jun, I will definitely not collide with them, only a fool will fight against them!

Even Michael Eisner, the most arrogant one, and George Harding, the president of Warner Bros. Pictures, who had suffered a huge loss, had to admit that direct confrontation with Yin Jun was completely unreliable.

Unless it's a movie that meets Spielberg and George Lucas.

But the two great directors are top-notch entities in Hollywood, and they are not just small characters who can be manipulated by them.

They are also Yin Jun's friends and have a lot of cooperation. If they fight Yin Jun head-on, they will definitely not be willing to do it.

Especially Spielberg, who has the most guaranteed box office. It is said that he is obsessed with the rights to adapt the script of "Jurassic Park" and has been in frequent contact with Yin Jun for a long time in order to film it himself.

At a time like this, how could he still follow Universal to suppress Yin Jun? He's crazy to do this!

Spielberg is a great director, but when he puts down the microphone like his good friend George Lucas, he becomes a standard businessman - whether in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" or in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" E.T.", the rights he fought for himself were beyond what a simple director could do. The subsequent income these two series brought him was so much that all filmmakers would salivate!

Not to mention, Spielberg and George Lucas are very smart.

As Yin Jun's best friends in Hollywood, of course they know how powerful their eyesight and ability are as their little friend.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" was the investment promoted by Yin Jun. Even though others were not optimistic about it, it ended up with a global box office of US$611 million. Everyone who participated in the investment made a lot of money, and those who had not been there before Those who were optimistic and did not invest were all dumbfounded.

There is also "E.T." written by Yin Jun himself, not to mention, with an astonishing global box office of 1.123 billion US dollars, the world's number one box office record! !

Yin Jun has such excellent screenwriting talent, how can even Spielberg and George Lucas dare to say that they have the ability to suppress Yin Jun in one fell swoop and let him defeat him at the box office?

Whether he can defeat Yin Jun is a question. Whether he can defeat Yin Jun smoothly or end up with both sides hurting is also a question.

The bigger question is, if you defeat Yin Jun in one movie and make Yin Jun angry, and Yin Jun will target Spielberg and George Lucas in every movie from now on, what will they do? ?

The quality of Yin Jun's movies has always been stable, at least if you calculate it based on the global box office of US$500 million.

But even Spielberg and George Lucas can't guarantee that every one of their movies will be such a hit.

If Yin Jun sniped them in several consecutive movies, would their status and image in Hollywood still be so noble?

At that time, will those who are begging them to deal with Yin Jun still pay attention to them?

Obviously, no!

They were like scrap metal that had been used up, and people ignored them in a blink of an eye.

Don't overestimate the integrity and morality of this group of people.

Take a look at the great director who made "The Godfather". After making several movies, what is he like now? Are those film companies and giants that surrounded him before still paying attention to him now?

With such lessons learned, it is impossible for Spielberg and George Lucas to allow themselves to establish such a powerful enemy as Yin Jun - oh, by the way, in addition to being an excellent screenwriter and director, Yin Jun, He is also one of the Hollywood giants! United Artists Film Company and Disney have joined forces and are now definitely among the top three in Hollywood!

As long as Spielberg and George Lucas don't get involved in these things and take their own movies seriously, they can not only ensure the quality of their movies, continue to consolidate their status, make themselves more famous and make more money, but also provide If Yin Jun sells well, everyone will have more cooperation and make more money in the future. Isn't this good? Those who cannot recognize themselves clearly and insist on wading into muddy waters can only be idiots!

Therefore, when faced with the temptations of several giants, both Spielberg and George Lucas very politely and firmly rejected such proposals.

Not just the two of them, some top directors also rejected the temptation to collide with Yin Jun head-on.

The directors who have made it to this point are all extremely smart people. Maybe they have all kinds of weird tempers, but if they don't know the ways of the world, they won't be able to make it this far.

Their considerations are basically the same as those of Spielberg and George Lucas.

With so many schedules, why do I have to go head-to-head with this talented boy and gold medal screenwriter who has already proven himself, and make both sides lose?

How great it is that we each make our own money!

If no one cooperates, what else can the Big Six in Hollywood do?

In fact, everyone understands that strength is the best way to protect their rights and interests.

Yin Jun has already proven with his unparalleled strength that he is the darling of the box office and everyone's favorite director and screenwriter. So if there is a direct conflict, wouldn't it harm the interests of the six major Hollywood companies and the directors themselves?

Therefore, it is understandable that there will not be a Hollywood blockbuster competing with "The Lion King" in the June schedule next month!
