Chapter 1966 1968 [Soldiers never tire of cheating]
Good stuff, everyone wants it.
Apart from Xiang Nan, other Hollywood giants, even small and medium-sized film companies, are interested in acquiring Urban Entertainment's film library.
On the one hand, the income of old movies has always been stable. In the United States, old movies can be re-screened, video tapes and DVDs can be released, licensed to TV stations, and even credited to banks for financing. This is a very high quality asset.
On the one hand, since the 1990s, with the opening of the Eastern European market and the Chinese mainland market to Hollywood, Hollywood movies have gained more than one billion viewers, and the market size has nearly doubled. The benefits have been improved all at once, and the days of various Hollywood film companies are also getting better.
Capital also became interested in Hollywood and invested in it one after another.
This is why Paramount, Disney, Columbia Pictures, etc., were forced to sell in the first two years, and they suddenly had tens of billions of dollars in funds in the past two years, which can be used to acquire the three major TV networks CBS, ABC, and NBC.
Since they are rich now, they are naturally interested in urban entertainment.
After all, Xiang Nan is not the only smart person in Hollywood. Others also know the beauty of old movies. Therefore, several companies began to compete.
Xiang Nan was not in a hurry when he saw this.
A family of women seeks from hundreds of families. The film library under Urban Entertainment does not belong to him alone. Zhang San can buy it, and Li Si can buy it too. If Xiang Nan can win, he can fight, but if he really can't, let it go.
After all, although old movies are high-quality assets, the money earned from a thousand old movies may not be as good as that made from a new movie.
For example, in 2007 and 2008, MGM Pictures earned 520 million US dollars and 500 million US dollars respectively by virtue of its film library. During the same period, the global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" reached 960 million US dollars.
The production value of more than 4,000 films under MGM Pictures is less than the income of one film "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". It can be seen that old films are not priceless.
Otherwise, MGM Pictures and Urban Entertainment would not go bankrupt.
…
In the following time, Xiang Nan mainly stayed at home with Cong Shan and Ning Jing.
After all, I’m filming in the mainland, and I’ve been there for more than two months. A little farewell is better than a newlywed.
"Come on, son, let me fight against each other and test your skills." Xiang Nan laughed.
"It's so easy to come back, what are you going to do with your son, what if you hurt him?" Cong Shan hurriedly persuaded when she saw it.
"A loving mother often loses children, and a man has to be beaten since he was a child." Xiang Nan said immediately after hearing this, "Besides, I have the right hand, can I still beat him?"
Tranquility also nodded immediately, put on her training clothes, and confronted her father.
Since he was two years old, Xiang Nan began to teach him Kung Fu. He used Shaolin boxing first, and when he was six years old, he began to teach him inner strength. Now with quiet skill, it is not a problem to beat three or four strong men.
This also ensures that he will not be easily bullied at school. You must know that there are many bullying incidents on American campuses, especially Ning Jing, who is of Chinese descent, is also vulnerable to discrimination.
Xiang Nan put out the Tai Chi female frame, and beckoned to Tranquility,
Tranquility cupped his hands to Xiang Nan, showing off his Shaolin boxing airs, then let out a loud shout, and then punched Xiang Nan at the door.
"The strength is there, but unfortunately, the accuracy is not enough~" Xiang Nan held his fist and said with a smile.
"Hey, it's not that simple to steal a chicken." Xiang Nan stopped again.
Although Tranquility's movements were fast, in his eyes, they were as slow as a snail crawling.
Seeing that her father had prevented the two attacks to death, Tranquility raised her head, smiled at her father, and suddenly let out a breath, blowing Xiang Nan's eyes directly.
Then when Xiang Nan closed his eyes, he immediately swung his fists and kicked with both feet, and quickly attacked Xiang Nan. For a while, fists were like random rain, and feet were like gusts of wind.
Facing his son's storm-like attack, Xiang Nan was calm and unhurried. He swayed and avoided all his son's attacks, not even letting him touch his clothes.
"How is this possible?" Seeing this, Tranquility couldn't help widening her eyes and screaming.
He knew that Dad closed his eyes when he was hiding, but even so, he still didn't hit him once, it's incredible.
…
"Oh, you child, you are playing tricks with your father, really~" Cong Shan saw that the two of them had stopped, so she came forward to teach her son a lesson.
"Hey, soldiers never tire of cheating, it's a good thing for my son to be able to adapt to changing circumstances." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.
"Dad, how can you avoid my fist with your eyes closed? What kind of kung fu is this, teach me quickly." Tranquility asked curiously.
"Tell you, this is called Wing Chun Tingquan." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If you want to learn, dad will teach you."
"Yeah." Ning Jing nodded.
"Learn one or two kung fu, it's good to be able to defend yourself, don't learn so much." Cong Shan said again, she didn't want her son to learn boxing all day long.
After all, it is not ancient times now, so there is still talk of chivalry and righteousness. When the road is injustice, let out a roar, and take action when it is time to do so. Now is the rule of law society, being a martial artist is not as good as being a lawyer, and the income is high and respected.
"Hey, more skills don't overwhelm you, and it's not bad for my son to learn more skills." Xiang Nan persuaded with a smile.
He does not believe that Kung Fu is useless in modern society. Learning Kung Fu, don't say that you can become a star in the future, but become a martial arts coach, just say that it has the function of strengthening the body, which is worth paying attention to.
Tranquility has him in this life, it is impossible to be poor. But if you don't have a good body, even if you have a lot of money, you can't enjoy it.
Tranquility also nodded.
He likes to learn Kung Fu, and he likes to be admired. In school, he was not bullied by those senior students just because of his good kung fu.
Anyone who dares to bully him, he will fight back. With his kung fu, it is enough to deal with a dozen senior students. So now he is not only not bullied, but is respected by his classmates, which also arouses his interest in learning Kung Fu.
…
In addition to teaching his son Kung Fu, Xiang Nan also published the fourth novel in the "Harry Potter" series, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire".
After the novel was released, it once again won the popularity of book fans all over the world. In the Christmas period of 1999 alone, it sold nearly two million copies, which can be said to be quite popular.
Xiang Nan has decided to adapt it into a movie starting next year, and will not use the original Audio-Technica again.
On the one hand, the original Audio-Technica’s acting skills are not outstanding, especially as they get older, their acting skills get worse; on the other hand, their attitude towards JK Rowling is also very disgusting.
Xiang Nan doesn't want himself to present a group of ungrateful white-eyed wolves, who obviously rely on himself to become popular, but in the end he has to draw a line with himself, which is really disgusting.
