It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
Chapter 1027 Worried about antitrust laws? Invite Chen Fei to the island!
Outside the mediation room of the Los Angeles court, the atmosphere is heavy and tense!
The dispute between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is like a war without gunpowder, which has touched the hearts of countless media and netizens.
Although the two have reached a settlement agreement, Depp's eyes are still full of anger and unwillingness.
He stared at the woman in front of him. If eyes could kill, Amber would have been riddled with holes at this time!
"Why did you do this? Do you know how much damage this has caused to my reputation and career?"
Depp's voice was low and powerful, and every word revealed his anger at Amber's false accusation of him:
However, Amber seemed unusually calm at this time.
She smiled slightly, with both sarcasm and provocation in her smile: "Depp, you should know that all this is your own fault; you are an alcoholic, a drug addict, and a domestic abuser, these facts cannot be changed."
Depp's face turned even more livid when he heard this, and he couldn't help but want to take a step forward, but was held tightly by the lawyer beside him:
"Calm down, Johnny, you have reached an agreement to divorce now, and there is no relationship anymore. Now is not the time for you to be impulsive!"
"Huh!"
Depp let out a long breath, cursed "bitch" inwardly, and then walked out of the court first.
Amber followed behind him, leisurely and calmly.
At this time, she had exquisite makeup, and her whole body was made of high-end brands. Coupled with her amazing temperament, even if she walked in the corridor of the court, she had a posture of walking on the catwalk.
When normal people see her now, they almost have a faint good impression in their hearts, thinking that she must be innocent!
But looking at Depp, who is haggard and in poor condition, and obviously high on drugs, it is difficult to leave a good impression on people.
The two walked forward and finally met again in the parking lot.
Watching Amber walk towards the new Cadillac that should belong to him, Depp still couldn't calm his anger. He stared at her with wide eyes!
And Amber seemed more calm, her blonde hair fluttering in the wind, her skirt swaying gently, as if her life was full of unknowns and possibilities.
She turned her head and looked at the angry Depp, with a flash of disdain in her eyes: "Johnny, you will never understand what real fame and fortune are; and now I have found my fame and fortune!"
Thinking of Musk's invitation, Amber is now quite excited.
The divorce was finally successful, and she could finally leave Depp, the scumbag, and turn to the arms of another rich man.
This is simply the biggest victory in his "green tea life"!
Depp was even more angry when he heard this, but he also understood that it was meaningless to argue now.
He took a deep breath again, tried to calm himself, and then turned and left.
Because of this divorce lawsuit, he had to pay nearly half of his wealth, which finally satisfied Amber's appetite.
And now, he urgently needs to make more money immediately to maintain his high-consumption lifestyle.
"Damn bitch! Damn woman! I swear! I will never get married again in this life, this is simply falling into the devil's cave!"
He really didn't expect that he just got married and didn't even have a child, but he paid a huge price for it!
"Feminism" is really terrible!
"Go to work, Depp." The agent persuaded: "Disney has officially announced that "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales" will be released worldwide on May 26.
There are still 3 months, and you can get a large box office share again. Forget about that woman. We now need to deal with opponents in the same period."
Depp rarely continued to smoke leaves today, so his mind was relatively clear.
He asked curiously, "Who are the competitors in the same period?"
"Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" and DC's "Wonder Woman."
"Hiss!" Depp took a breath of cold air, his tone full of doubt: "What is Disney doing? Why choose this time period? Can we still get high box office if we collide with Marvel and DC?"
The agent shrugged his shoulders and said, "The period from May to September is the hottest summer vacation period in North America. This is the gathering place for blockbusters and it is inevitable."
"Damn Marvel! Damn DC! Hollywood is being cheated by these two companies. What's so good about superheroes?"
Depp was full of resentment, but he was in a state of "saying one thing and thinking another" in his heart.
He had heard Robert Downey Jr. say that in "The Avengers", the salary of "Iron Man" alone was twice as high as that of "Captain Johnny" he played!
Marvel's "luxury" really made him envious.
If there is an opportunity to participate in a Marvel movie now, he will definitely not refuse it. Just for the high salary, he will agree without hesitation!
"Oh my God! This company is developing so fast, what will it reach in the end?"
...
A new day starts with receiving good news.
Early in the morning, when Chen Fei arrived at the crew, he saw Natasha who was waiting there early.
"Fei! I think I need to tell you this surprising good news. I hope you won't be so excited after hearing it, and don't faint because of too much excitement!"
"Hmm? What's the good news? Did DC declare bankruptcy?"
Fade Chen asked with a smile, and he didn't forget to joke with her.
"There is the latest progress in the project of Walton Pictures to acquire 20th Century Fox!"
"What?!"
Fade Chen suddenly became excited, and his heart was beating wildly, and his originally calm mood suddenly became agitated.
He hurriedly asked: "What progress has been made? Has the other side agreed to our acquisition plan?
When he thought that after the successful acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the X-Men could return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iron Man could chat and laugh with Wolverine, and the beautiful scene of Deadpool and Spider-Man flying together could also be realized, he could not hide his excitement.
"There is no formal agreement yet, but according to the feedback from the other side, the Murdoch family is already in consultation. As far as I know, the board of directors of 21st Century Fox is quite satisfied with the price we offered..."
After nearly a year of bargaining, Walton Pictures finally offered a huge acquisition price of 51.5 billion US dollars.
In addition, the current 20th Century Fox Walton Pictures will also be responsible for handling the $11 billion debt of Fox Pictures.
Of course, this price not only covers 20th Century Fox Pictures, but also covers 20th Century Fox Television, FX Cable Telephone Network and National Geographic, as well as Fox's 20% stake in Hulu, 39% stake in European TV giant Sky, Star India and other important assets.
There is no doubt that if this blockbuster acquisition is successful, it will have a profound impact on the future of the entire Hollywood landscape!
Because once the acquisition is successful, the "Big Six" studios that have dominated the American film industry for decades will undergo a new round of changes and iterations!
"51.5 billion US dollars?" Chen Fei muttered to himself for a few words, and then asked: "How was the revenue of 20th Century Fox last year?"
"Not very good." Natasha shrugged and explained: "Due to the lack of super hits like "Avatar", and the profitability of the movies and TV series launched last year was not very good.
Therefore, 20th Century Fox ranked fifth among the six major companies with only 12% market share last year, only 2 points higher than Paramount..."
Hearing this, Chen Fei had already made a decision.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "On the premise of $51.5 billion, I can continue to authorize you to increase by $5 billion to acquire 20th Century Fox.
Tell the negotiation team that the next time you meet with Murdoch, you can directly point out that the future of 20th Century Fox is destined to decline.
I believe Murdoch should be a smart man. He knows very well that if he wants to sell his assets, he must let go at a relatively high stage.
And now, only Walton Pictures in the whole Hollywood can pay this sky-high acquisition fee. If he still does not agree to sell, the consequences will only become more and more miserable, and the debt will accumulate more and more! "
"Well, I will explain this to the negotiation team. ”
Natasha nodded heavily, her eyes full of expectation and a beautiful vision for the future.
Because in her opinion, the Murdoch family will definitely sell 20th Century Fox in the end, and at most there may be some fluctuations in the price.
If it was in 2014, she would definitely not have any similar ideas as now.
Because in 2014, 21st Century Fox was extremely brilliant, and of course they were even prepared to acquire Time Warner with an offer of 80 billion US dollars!
However, not long after this plan appeared, its own stock price began to fall sharply, so that it could not leverage the funds, and eventually the acquisition was aborted.
Immediately afterwards, technology streaming media companies such as Netflix, Amazon, Youtube, and Facebook rose rapidly, changing people's habits of media consumption.
In such a competitive environment with huge changes in the industry, to achieve long-term competitiveness, companies must Whether the scale is huge plays a very important role!
The continuous loss of 20th Century Fox Film has undoubtedly increased the revenue pressure of its parent company 21st Century Fox.
Therefore, instead of waiting for 20th Century Fox Film to be squeezed by many Internet giants and forced to sell assets in the future, it is better to sell them to the buyers who need them most when the asset valuation is the best.
This is Natasha's judgment from Murdoch's perspective, and it is also the real idea of the Murdoch family now.
This can be concluded from the fact that they started negotiations immediately after hearing the offer of 51.5 billion US dollars!
Such powerful buyers are rare. If you miss it, whether you can get the money in the future will undoubtedly become an unknown.
However, at this time, Natasha said with some distress: "The acquisition plan has made progress, but whether it will be stopped by the antitrust law has become an unknown.
After all, we have already acquired DreamWorks, Marvel, and Lucasfilm. If we add 20th Century Fox, it would be a bit too exaggerated. The government will definitely pay attention to it! "
Antitrust law?
Chen Fei smiled confidently: "Don't worry about this, it will definitely not happen. Of course, if there is a problem, I will handle it. "
Based on the "friendship" and "favor" he gained from arranging Longxiang Capital to support the "blond businessman" in taking office, suppressing the review of the antitrust law should not be a problem.
After all, the "number one" in the United States is still the "number one" in the United States. If he can't even handle such trivial matters, then why should he be the number one?
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Natasha smiled and didn't say much.
She already had a certain understanding of Chen Fei's current background, and naturally knew that he was capable of handling this matter.

"I'm going back to the company first, so I won't disturb your filming, byebye."
"Well, be safe on the road."
Chen Fei waved his hand towards her, and then focused his attention on the monitor in front of him again.
…
The day passes quietly,
As the night gets darker in Hollywood, it's already dawn here in China.
The latest entertainment information, accompanied by the chirping of birds in the early morning, flooded onto Weibo's hot search list, attracting countless people's attention and attention.
"Today at nine o'clock in the morning, China Film Co., Ltd. participated in the investment, directed by Wu Yu, starring Zhang Hanyu, Fukuyama Masaharu, Qi Wei, Ha Jiyuan and others, an action and crime-themed film adapted from the novel "Walking in the Angry River" by Japanese writer Nishimura Toshiyuki. "Pursuit", the finished film has been officially reviewed today."
"China Film Group has issued the latest announcement: "Pursuit," a co-production between mainland China and Hong Kong directed by Wu Yu, will be released on November 24 this year."
"The media called Director Wu Yu and learned that "Pursuit", as an action-themed movie, will feature a unique 'violent aesthetics' shooting technique, which has both the personal heroism emphasized in the West and the martial arts atmosphere unique to China. , the film quality is not inferior to "Face" and "Mission: Impossible 2"..."
"Enlight has released the latest announcement: The youth love-themed movie "Secret Fruit", exclusively produced by the company and starring Chen Kaige's son Chen Feiyu and Taiwanese flower Ouyang Nana, will be released on July 7 to participate in the summer vacation box office competition."
While lying on the bed and flipping through entertainment information, Chen Fei silently mourned for the light for three seconds.
The filming of "Secret Fruit" happened to be when the box office of "Operation Red Sea" exceeded 4 billion, and the popularity was suppressed to death.
But now that the official announcement has been made, it has bumped into Wu Yu's "Pursuit", and the popularity has been suppressed again.
When it comes to bad luck, this movie is a miserable mess!
According to the current tone, if nothing unexpected happens, I am afraid that this movie will continue to be unlucky until the movie is released.
Going to summer vacation?
It is simply seeking death!
Of course, if the silence for "Secret Fruit" is three seconds, then the silence for China Film and "Manhunt" must be at least three minutes!
There is no need for Chen Fei to comment on it. The Internet and the industry are already going crazy:
"What do you think China Film Academy is thinking? You've already fallen victim to Wu Yu so many times, why don't you give up?"
"Tsk, tsk, I'm convinced. Han Sanping is not afraid of coming up after falling into the pit. La Pikang also jumped in. Is the pit dug by Wu Baige magical?"
"Haha, everyone, just look at it. It would be fine if this movie succeeds. If it fails, I will definitely have to post something to criticize China Film Group."
"Chairman Lada is so ill that he seeks medical treatment in a hurry? Both "The Great Wall" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" were so bad that he actually turned his head and placed a heavy bet on Wu Yu. Isn't this a joke?"
"I heard that another science fiction film "Shanghai Fortress" invested by China Film Group has started casting. Director Teng Huatao released the news that he is looking for top actors. Wu Yifan has already gone there. Xiaolu, do you have any ideas? "
"Then let's fight! Find me an acting teacher by the way."
…
The night became darker and darker, and after talking on the phone with Liu Yifei for a while, Chen Fei fell into sleep.
However, what he didn't know was that at this time, the hotel where the creative members of "Avengers 3" were staying had an uninvited guest!
"Welcome, Mr. Weller."
In the hotel room, after sending his assistant away, Robert Downey Jr. greeted Lamar Weller warmly.
"Donnie, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to have lost a lot of weight?"
As Lamar Wheeler spoke, he took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Robert Downey Jr.
After taking the box, Robert Downey Jr. eagerly opened it and took a look.
When he was sure that this was exactly what he wanted, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his face.
While putting the box away, he responded: "The crew requested that the character of 'Iron Man' be thinner. This is good for photogenics, so I deliberately lost weight for three months."
"How long will the filming last?"
"About 5 months or so."
"Oh! That was really hard work."
While Lamar Wheeler was speaking, he deliberately guided the topic towards the aspect of "enjoyment".
After a while, Robert Downey Jr. took the bait.
He suddenly lowered his voice and asked with some expectancy: "Mr. Weller, I heard that you have recently launched an island service project? Is this true or false?"
This news is no longer a secret in the upper class circles, and after Robert Downey Jr. played the role of "Iron Man", he also successfully entered the end of the upper class circles, so naturally he also heard about this "open secret" ".
Lamar Wheeler smiled calmly, opened his briefcase, and took out some photos.
Robert Downey Jr. took it curiously, and the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became!
"This...are these all real?" Those photos had already aroused his strong curiosity.
"Of course." Lamar Wheeler shrugged, with a smile that only men could understand: "This is a very unique island. Not only does it have many unexpected services, but it is also good for expanding your network. After all, those who go here are all big shots!"
Hearing this, Robert Downey Jr. was already itching: "What conditions are required to go to the island? Do you need money? I have money..."
"No, no, no." Lamar Wheeler interrupted him directly: "You don't need money to go to this island, because the owner of the island is both powerful and influential, and he doesn't lack money at all."
Robert Downey Jr. was slightly startled, and some memories emerged in his mind.
The island owner had been arrested once in 2008. At that time, everyone thought he was finished, but in the end he was only sentenced to less than two years in prison and was granted work parole close to freedom.
Based on this, the fact that the island owner had both background and financial resources was revealed.
And the island he opened may be his confidence!
When he thought of making friends with many big people and "enjoying" many free services, Robert Downey Jr. immediately asked impatiently:
"No money? What else do you need?"
Lamar Wheeler said slowly: "The island needs a steady stream of big customers to maintain the stability of the existing customer system and capital operation..."
"I don't understand what you are saying?"
Robert Downey Jr.'s eyes flashed with confusion. He had just stepped into the upper class circle and had not yet figured out the twists and turns here.
"To put it simply." Lamar Wheeler paused, then said word by word: "If you want to go to the island, then you have to meet a condition!"
"What condition?"
"Convince the director of "Avengers 3" to go to the island with you!"
