Good things, everyone wants them.
In addition to Xiang Nan, other Hollywood giants and even small and medium-sized film companies are interested in acquiring Urban Entertainment's film library.
On the one hand, the revenue from old movies has always been stable. In the United States, old movies can be re-screened, videotapes and DVDs can be released, they can be licensed to TV stations, and they can even be used as loans to banks for financing. This is a very high quality asset.
On the one hand, since the 1990s, as the Eastern European market and the Chinese mainland market have opened their doors to Hollywood, Hollywood movies have attracted more than one billion viewers, and the market size has nearly doubled. Benefits suddenly increased, and the various Hollywood film companies also had better days.
Capital has also begun to take an interest in Hollywood and invest in it.
This is why Paramount, Disney, Columbia Pictures, etc. were forced to sell out in the first two years. In the past two years, they suddenly have tens of billions of dollars in funds to acquire the three major television networks CBS and ABC.
Since they have money 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 girl from one family is sought after by hundreds of families. The film library under Metropolis Entertainment does not belong to him alone. It’s okay to buy Zhang San, and it’s okay to buy Li Si. If Xiang Nan can fight, then fight. If he really can't, then forget it.
After all, although old movies are high-quality assets, the money earned from a thousand old movies may not be as profitable as one new movie.
For example, in 2007 and 2008, MGM Pictures earned US$520 million and US$500 million respectively from its film library. During the same period, the global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" reached US$960 million.
The production value of more than 4,000 movies under MGM Pictures is less than the revenue of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". It can be seen that old movies are not priceless. Once you buy them, you will have a lifetime of worries.
Otherwise, MGM Pictures and Metropolis Entertainment would not have gone bankrupt.
…
In the following time, Xiang Nan mainly spent time with Cong Shan and An Jing at home.
After all, filming in the Mainland lasts for more than two months, so a break is better than a wedding.
"Come on, son, let's fight against each other and test your skills." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"It's so easy to come back. Why are you fighting with your son? What if you hurt him?" Cong Shan persuaded him as soon as he saw it.
"A loving mother often loses her son, and a man must be beaten from an early age." When Xiang Nan heard this, he immediately said, "Besides, I have a sure hand, can I still beat him?"
Ning Jing also nodded immediately, put on his training clothes, and started playing against his father.
Xiang Nan started teaching him kung fu when he was two years old. He started with Shaolin boxing, and when he was six years old, he started to teach him internal skills. Now with Ning Jing's skills, it is not a problem to beat three or four strong men.
This also ensures that he is not easily bullied at school. You must know that there are relatively many bullying incidents in American campuses. Especially Jing Ning, as a Chinese American, is also vulnerable to discrimination.
Xiang Nan put on the main frame of Tai Chi and waved to Jing Jing.
Ning Jing bowed her hands to Xiang Nan and showed off her Shaolin boxing skills. Then she let out a loud shout and punched Xiang Nan's front door.
"The strength is there, but unfortunately, the accuracy is not enough~" Xiang Nan held his fist and said with a smile.
Jing Jing was not discouraged at all, and immediately punched Xiang Nan's abdomen.
"Hey, it's not that easy to steal a chicken." Xiang Nan stopped again.
Although Ning Jing's movements were fast, in his eyes, they were as slow as a snail.
Seeing that his father had guarded him against both attacks, Jing Jing raised his head, smiled at his father, and suddenly exhaled, blowing it directly into Xiang Nan's eyes.
Then, while Xiang Nan closed his eyes, he immediately waved his fists and kicked his feet, and quickly attacked Xiang Nan. For a moment, the fists were like chaotic rain and the feet were like strong wind.
Facing his son's violent attacks, Xiang Nan remained calm and swaying, and managed to avoid all of his son's attacks without even letting him touch his clothes.
"How is this possible?" Ning Jing couldn't help but widen his eyes and screamed when he saw this.
He knew that his father had his eyes closed when he was hiding, but even so, he still didn't hit him, which was incredible.
…
"Oh, you kid, you are so mean when you start fighting with your dad, it's true~" Cong Shan saw them stop and stepped forward to teach her son a lesson.
"Hey, soldiers never tire of deceit. It's a good thing that my son can adapt to changes." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Dad, how can you dodge my fist with your eyes closed? What kind of kung fu is this? Please teach me." Jing Jing asked curiously.
"Let me tell you, this is called Wing Chun Tingquan." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "If you want to learn it, dad will teach you."
"Yeah." Jing Jing nodded after hearing this.
"Just learn one or two kung fu to be able to defend yourself. Don't learn so much." Cong Shan added, not wanting her son to learn boxing and kicking all day long.
After all, this is not the ancient times. There is still talk of chivalry and righteousness, roaring when there is injustice on the road, and taking action when it is time to take action. Today is a highly regulated society. Being a martial artist is not as good as being a lawyer. You have a high income and are respected by others.
"Hey, if you have too many skills, it won't hurt your son to learn more skills." Xiang Nan advised with a smile.
He does not believe that kung fu is useless in modern society. When learning kung fu, don’t say that you can become a star in the future. When you become a martial arts coach, just say that its function of strengthening the body is worthy of attention.
With him in Jingjing's life, it would be impossible for him to suffer from poverty. But if you don’t have a good body, you won’t be able to enjoy it even if you have a lot of wealth.
Tranquility also nodded.
He likes to learn Kung Fu and likes to be admired. In school, it was his good kung fu that prevented him from being bullied by his senior classmates.
Anyone who dares to bully him will be beaten back. His kung fu is enough to handle more than a dozen senior students. Therefore, not only is he not bullied now, but he is respected by his classmates, which further stimulates his interest in learning kung fu.
…
In addition to teaching his son Kung Fu, Xiang Nan also released the fourth part of the "Harry Potter" series, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
After the release of this book, it once again gained popularity among book fans around the world. During 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 Iron Triangle.
On the one hand, the acting skills of the original Iron Triangle are not outstanding, especially as they grow older, their acting skills become worse; on the other hand, their attitude towards JK Rowling is also very disgusting.
Xiang Nan doesn't want to bring out a bunch of ungrateful white-eyed wolves. He obviously relies on himself to become famous, but in the end he has to draw a clear line with himself. It's really disgusting.
