1127. Chapter 1127 Source Leakage (1)

This penthouse is worthy of a king-level building, with a complete set of swimming pools, private cinemas, spas, squash courts, etc. In addition, the British Royal Air Force specially provided this most luxurious apartment with a security force composed of retired special forces.

According to the agent, the most expensive apartment in the world has specially set up a concealed emergency shelter. If a resident encounters a burglary or kidnapping, they can hide in this shelter within ten seconds and gain enough time. Come for help.

For those who cherish their lives, safety is undoubtedly the top priority. This configuration in Hyde Park can be regarded as touching the hearts of the rich, and the money is not taken out lightly.

The agent brought Yang Cheng and the others to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows facing Hyde Park, pointed to the slightly exposed balcony next to it and said, "That is the top-floor apartment of Building D. The layout is the same as the apartment we are in now, but the area It’s a little smaller. The current owner is a rich man from Eastern Europe. I can’t disclose the owner’s information due to the need for confidentiality, but in order to allow his family to enjoy a higher quality of life, he chose to complete the transaction with a loan. "

The unspoken meaning is that this mansion is worth any price you pay.

Price nodded and added, "As far as I know, there are four penthouse-type mansions in One Hyde Park. Among them, Buildings A, B, and D are already owned, and only Building C remains."

Yang Cheng nodded and said nothing. The house is good, but he is not going to buy it either. On the one hand, it is expensive; The appreciation potential of the number is almost exhausted, and there is no need for investment.

Besides, if he really wants to invest, he will not buy a top-floor apartment. The small apartment downstairs is tens of millions of pounds. There are more people who can afford it. Once there is a need to cash out, it is more convenient to sell .

Thinking of this, he wrote it down, and asked Carson to do a research before deciding whether to invest or not.

After returning to the manor, Andrew also came back, "Boss, the target went home early in the morning, and then took a civilian flight to Greece with her luggage. I checked, and she urgently booked a room in a resort. It took half a month."

Yang Cheng asked strangely, "Is she going out to avoid the limelight? Or is she relaxing?"

Andrew shook his head, obviously he couldn't answer this question.

After thinking about it for a while, no matter how I thought about it, I didn't think this woman could make waves, so I just ignored it, and said, "Okay, you all have a good rest, and return to New York tomorrow."

Andrew responded, but Hansen reminded, "Boss, on the 29th, the premiere of "Fifty Shades Darker" will be held in London."

Yang Cheng paused, "I won't go, the last one was a big hit, this one shouldn't be too bad, and William will help support the scene, so there's nothing to worry about."

He thinks well, and there is really nothing worth worrying about. New Era Pictures has long been on the right track. Under the control of Donna Lande, the company's momentum is getting better and better. The investment went online, and it has faintly gained the limelight of DreamWorks at its peak.

Especially with the injection of Yang Cheng's large sum of money, it made up for the lack of distribution channels of the original Lionsgate Films. This alone far surpassed DreamWorks back then.

We must know that when DreamWorks was at its peak, it was crazily suppressed by the six major companies, and for a long time it was unable to have its own overseas distribution channels, which greatly limited the development of DreamWorks.

However, New Era Pictures acquired Lionsgate and several small and medium-sized film companies in one step, and directly harvested the distribution channels that Lionsgate spent more than 10 years building. The reason for Times Media is that it has an advantage in online distribution, and to a certain extent, it surpasses the Sixth Congress, which directly cut off the Sixth Congress's desire to suppress it.

In the film industry, if you master the distribution channels, you can basically gain a foothold in an invincible position. If you come to ask for a movie to be distributed, even if you lose money to your grandma's house, the distribution department will still make money.

It even accounts for a considerable proportion of the company's total revenue.

However, the only thing New Era Films currently lacks is its influence in the MPAA. The MPAA is the Motion Picture Association of America. The grading system they formulated is equivalent to the big scissors of country Z. A bloody dagger, and the person who controls this dagger is the Sixth. When they want to unify the outside world, they will stab the dagger without hesitation.

A movie could have been classified as PG-13, but the MPAA gave you an R rating or even the more disgusting NC-17. Do you have a solution? Anyway, the small film company can only pinch its nose and recognize it.

Of course, although these are all Qianan rules, the MPAA still has to maintain a fair, open, and impartial face on the surface. If a comedy is forcibly classified as NC-17, the MPAA will not be able to stop the public from drooling.

But no matter what, only by infiltrating your influence into the MPAA, will the outside world recognize your status as a giant, otherwise you will be an enhanced version of DreamWorks, but you will not be able to turn the Big Six into the Big Seven. The one in Jiayili

'.

However, the matter of the MPAA cannot be rushed. Donna Lande is already operating. In addition to spending a lot of money, it needs more time to accumulate. Among other things, the copyright library alone cannot be obtained by New Era Pictures. Threshold of giants.

However, the most important thing right now is not the issue of grading, but the 'bad news' that Yang Cheng received as soon as he landed.

News came from New Era Films, and now there are ten-minute clips of "Fifty Shades Darker" circulating on the Internet, which is like a blow to Yang Cheng. Before, he had vowed that nothing would happen. .

But now not only did it happen, but it was the most serious kind.

Before the movie is released, there are clips on the Internet. This is not an official trailer, but a complete plot clip. What does this mean?

It means that the source of the film is leaked! It means someone is up to something!

Yang Cheng got into the Maybach with a serious face, the phone rang from time to time, Su Su kept collecting information and sending it to Yang Cheng so that he could understand the progress of the matter.

To be honest, the impact of film leaks can be large or small. For some niche films, early leaks are a good gimmick, and they might take the opportunity to reap a wave of box office.

But for those hit movies with high investment costs, leaks mean losses. Previously, popular blockbusters such as "Wolverine", "The Expendables 3", "The Revenant" and "Xxx Agent 3" have been leaked tragically, and in the spread rapidly on the Internet.

The most typical one was in 2009, 20th Century Fox, the producer of "Wolverine", lost more than 50 million US dollars because the entire film was leaked. Now similar things happen to New Era Pictures, causing a disaster I'm afraid it's more serious.

For the time being, Donna Lande was not interested in investigating who was the mastermind of the leak. No one believed that it was unintentional, and it was 100% caused by some low-level people.

But the most important thing right now is to quickly put out the fire. Donna Lande has applied for assistance from the parent company, and the media company has already started to delete the video online, but the speed of the video spread is comparable to that of bacteria, even if most of the network department is mobilized. Can't delete it.

The Maybach rushed towards the company at high speed, and Yang Cheng searched the news on the Internet with a serious face, guessing that this bastard was responsible for this incident, and if he caught him, he would have to tear it apart.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and Yang Cheng connected without hesitation, "Susu, what's the matter?"

Susu didn't dare to delay, and said directly, "Ms. Donna Round received the news that a hacker sent an email to her president's mailbox, threatening New Era Pictures to pay 5,000 bitcoins immediately, or immediately announce the complete details of "Fifty Shades Darker"." version source."

Yang Cheng's face was terribly dark, hacker? Another hacker? God knows how many scapegoats hackers have given to bastards.

He didn't believe it was done by hackers. The database of New Era Pictures was constructed by Toutiao app engineers. Ordinary hackers couldn't even get in through the first firewall, and powerful hackers didn't bother to steal film sources to make money. , is not realistic at all.

Moreover, you need 5,000 bitcoins to open your mouth. At the current price of more than 800 US dollars, 5,000 bitcoins are worth 4 million US dollars. It is to inform you in the slang: Lao Tzu does not accept negotiations.

However, this incident reminded Yang Cheng. If he remembers correctly, starting from this year, Bitcoin will usher in a wave of crazy gains. Buy it, that's 19x profit too, Jesus Christ, thanks dear hacker.

Yang Cheng laughed out of nowhere, this was a slap in the face, the other party originally wanted to threaten, but he didn't expect to remind Yang Cheng of a chance to make a lot of money, which is really interesting.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that the loss of a movie was nothing.

Of course, these are two different things. He dislikes being threatened the most, let alone threats with unknown intentions.

Su Su said again, "Ms. Donna Round has already contacted F~B~I Los Angeles Branch, hoping to get help."

Yang Cheng was taken aback, looking for F~B~I? It's a bit unreliable. To use a joke that Lao Mei often makes, "Where are F~B~I? They only live in the scripts of American drama directors."

In the past, those studios whose sources were stolen never approached F~B~I, but the number of threats before was relatively small, and F~B~I didn’t bother to spend time, and they were helpless with the ensuing cases of source theft. , and even tried to persuade the film studio to pay the ransom, "To tell you the truth, the money they want can't cover your bill for one night at the hotel in Cannes!"

Anyway, Yang Cheng didn't have any hope for F~B~I, but he didn't say anything, this is a necessary process.

After hesitating for a while, he ordered, "I still have about 20 minutes to arrive at the company. You remind Donna to prepare for emergency public relations, greet the big media in Hollywood, and speak up for us when necessary."
