America’s Big Hero

Chapter 5: : 8000 update

The waste oil extraction technology Sean knows is all small workshops, which must be upgraded, but the technical content is not high, Sean is going to find universities to cooperate with technical research commissions.

He pays the money, the other person pays, and of course the technology belongs to Sean.

The partner Sean has been found, New Jersey Institute of Technology!

Right in Newark, his hometown, it was easy to find a relationship.

"Edible oil is extracted from food waste?" Hearing Sean's request, Malz Wick, the vice president of the Polytechnic University, almost stared out, his face full of horror.

Just thinking about that picture, he was about to vomit, "No no no, this is disgusting, I can't do it!"

"How can this be called disgusting?" Sean said with holy light on his face: "This is a great cause, we need a lot of land for farming to produce more edible oil, for this, we cut down It destroyed forests, destroyed grasslands, destroyed the living homes of countless animals, and made the earth devastated."

"And among them, a lot of edible oil was wasted!"

"If we could recycle them again, how much less food would be consumed each year?"

"How can this be disgusting, this is for the people, for the whole world, for the earth!"

"Isn't this noble enough!" In the setting sun, behind Sean standing by the window was full of holy brilliance, like an angel coming to earth!

These remarks made Malz Wick stunned. Damn it, the words...

Can you say that?

Just when Malz Wick hesitated, Sean continued: "I have already thought about the name of this oil, it's called 'Blending Oil'!"

"The ad slogan is, blended oil: raw materials include vegetable oil, animal oil, vitamins, rich in minerals and essential amino acids for the human body, with extremely rich nutritional value. After more than ten years of research and careful matching, the pursuit of precise nutrient combinations and precise ratios, specially designed for XX Continental system design.”

"Eating with oil is healthier. Eight kinds of vegetable oils are selected, and a balanced intake of 1:1:1 dietary fatty acids is advocated, and the golden ratio of oil is reconciled, which is a good oil for balanced nutrition science."

"Dad likes sunflower oil, mother likes corn oil, son likes peanut oil, grandpa likes it, grandma likes it... What can I do about this, blended oil, rich in 8 kinds of vegetable oil nutrition, advocates 1:1:1..."

"More blended oils, more nutrients, Sanlu blended oils."

"Where there is health, there is Shengyuan blended oil."

"Good nutrition, good quality, cradle blended oil."

"Mengniu blended oil is naturally nutritious."

"Okay, stop!" Maltz Wick held Sean's shoulders and stopped him from continuing. "Okay, okay, we've taken over this cooperation project. It's really great."

"I knew that you contributed to the progress of human society." Sean grabbed Malz Wick's hand and said moved.

"Hehe, I believe you don't have so many advertisements!" Malz Weck rolled his eyes, "Damn, I suddenly feel very uneasy about going out to eat!"

"No, how could it be, this thing must be used to export to those underdeveloped countries." Sean snorted, he didn't dare to sell this thing in the United States.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]

He is also afraid of going out to eat this stuff...

Sean swears that whoever dares to use 'blended oil' to make food for himself, he will peel off the skin of that person and throw it away to extract the oil!

After solving the problem of the production and research and development of the gutter... blending oil, Sean proposed the cooperation intention of the metal recycling project.

"Extracting precious metals from waste circuit boards..." Malz Wick said ponderingly: "If the technology is not advanced enough, it will cause heavy metal pollution, which is very troublesome."

"You only need to consider the purification efficiency and cost, and you don't need to worry about pollution." Sean replied directly.

"No." Malz Wick looked at Sean in shock, "Environmental issues..."

"I will go to the underdeveloped countries for refining together with the blended oil." Sean blinked, "Besides, metal recycling and reducing mining are not environmentally friendly."

Hehe, hehe, Malz Weck laughed dryly, the mouth of a capitalist, **** it, a liar.

"Technology, it all develops from nothing, from existence to essence, and it is an objective law of development." Malz Weck coughed and gave a more high-sounding explanation.

The two looked at each other and nodded with a smile.

The technology in garbage disposal is extremely huge and cannot be accomplished overnight. Sean will establish an institute to conduct research in this area in the future.

The road has come out little by little, and Sean is currently focusing on two technologies of 'blending oil' and 'precious metal extraction'.

Others can only take their time.

While Sean was busy setting up an industrial estate in Colombia and a metal refinery in India, John ran over and asked Sean to watch a movie.

Well, it's a movie for adults to watch.

Filming on The Great Bank Robbery has also ended.

However, the editing rights of those big companies belong to the company, and the director cannot participate. Sean's editing rights here also belong to John.

At present, the rough cut is completed, and the whole film lasts for 3 hours!

It will be pruned to within 2 hours later.

It was not only Sean who watched the film, but also the starring team. After watching it for three hours, Sean thought about it and said, "The planning part can be edited faster to highlight the technical content of the robbers this time, especially the details. One or two things will do, but the overall robbery planning framework has to be there.”

"To get people to have the ability to frame a perfect heist after watching this movie."

After saying this, the viewing room fell into a dead silence, and everyone looked at Sean blankly, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Cough, don't get me wrong, I'm not teaching everyone how to rob, I'm trying to highlight the authenticity." Sean explained dryly.

Oh get it, you're teaching people to rob!

"Hahaha, Baye's action design is very sharp, this film must be popular in the United States!" Sean coughed and changed the subject.

John followed this topic and praised Yuan Heping for a while.

"Okay, that's all, the editing problem is left to you. You shoot, you most want to know what you want to express." Sean finally made a final decision: "Of course, there can be artistry, but commercial..."

"I understand, I used to be a commercial director, and now I'm a commercial director." John said with interest.

"That's good!" Sean was satisfied with John's answer.

"By the way, Norris, how are you doing with the issue of distribution?" Sean asked Norris, looking at him.

Whether the film is well shot is important, but a good distribution channel is even more important.

Just like a product, no matter how good it is, without a good sales channel, it will not sell much.

Distribution capability is the sales channel for movies.

At present, Sean Pictures has no distribution capability and can only rely on external forces.

...

Chapter 143:

Distribution ability: To put it bluntly, it is the sales ability of the 'product'.

Not only the film industry needs distributors, but others, such as 'TV dramas', 'games', 'stock listing and underwriting', etc. all need good distribution capabilities.

Here is an example of a movie.

Every year, thousands of movies are shot in Hollywood, but there is a fixed number of theaters in the United States, and a fixed number of curtains.

In terms of time, there are morning sessions, midnight sessions, and prime time sessions.

Others include holiday stalls, Christmas stalls... and so on.

So how do you get more movie theaters willing to show your film?

After all, the profit of movie theaters lies in the number of people watching the movie.

It depends on the ability of the distributor. A good distributor can get a better screening time and schedule, and allow more cinemas to show your movie.

Of course, if the quality of the film is not good after the release, it is not the issuer's problem that the movie theater cuts down the number of screenings.

The opportunity is given to you, you are useless, you can't blame others.

Therefore, the issuer has to collect money, and it is divided according to the box office ratio.

The distributor must consider the subject matter and quality of the producer's film, the producer's popularity, the director's popularity, the starring's popularity, and the market fit to give the share ratio.

The more powerful the producer, the lower the share they want, and vice versa.

The so-called 55-point account is a concept, and only the producer can get 50%, which is actually wrong.

The cinema may only charge 50%, but the publisher will also charge 1-30%...

In many cases, the photographer can only get 20% or less.

Of course, there is a lot of maneuverability here.

Cough, for example, after the filming is completed, the cinema is divided, the distribution is divided, and the last remaining salary is paid to the actors. In the end, the investors will not get a penny.

The money from the theaters was returned in full, and the investors' three-seventh account was divided...

Also, it can be used for cash.

"The best distribution capability is of course Eighth, but their asking price is too high." Norris shrugged, "Including advertisements, it will be divided into 30%, and it will be a bit troublesome to check out from them, um , at least a year."

Sean frowned. He hated dealing with these dominant companies. He was too weak. After thinking about it, Sean motioned for Norris to continue.

"Except for the Big Eight, the independent film distribution companies will belong to Miramax and New Line Films. We can find one of these two."

"New Line Film Company was established in 1967. It is an independent distribution company that distributes low-cost independent films, mainly horror films. Its distribution capabilities are the best outside the Big Eight."

"Miramax was established in 1979, but the bosses, the Weinstein brothers, have been in Hollywood for many years. They have participated in the distribution of many small-budget movies, and their distribution capabilities are not bad."

"Big companies have high fees and slow checkout. For Miramax and New Line, the fees are low, but sometimes they hide the box office." After Norris finished speaking, he looked at Sean and asked the boss to decide.

"Weinstein, is there someone named Harvey Weinstein?" Sean asked suddenly.

"Yes, there is one, it's a short fat man." Norris thought for a while and added, "Jewish old woman who doesn't like to shave, and likes to use his beard to tie the women he's pressing on the bed...cough cough ."

Um?

Sean's face is cold, what the **** is wrong with this! ?

The new tricks that came out after playing too much?

"Forget it, I don't care if he's an old pervert or a pervert, just choose Miramax." Sean pointed to Norris and said, "We'll never be able to find those big companies, so talk to us more. Learn from Harvey, we can't always find someone else to distribute, and my special money is not blown by the wind."

"Release!?" Norris twitched the corners of his mouth, which was a bit difficult for a strongman.

"Using all your nasty tricks, Weinstein can't do all the work himself, bribes, bribes, videotapes, eavesdropping, there are so many ways to think of it." Sean pointed to Norris Cursed: "Be bolder."

"Boss, it's not that I'm timid, it's because the Big Eight has always implemented a monopoly strategy on distribution. These two companies still only survive by picking up some soup that the Big Eight despise." Norris smiled bitterly: "They won't allow anyone Those who master the distribution ability, once someone wants to emerge, they will unite to put pressure on the theater chain.”

"Pressure, how to put pressure, in New Jersey, which theater would dare to give me no face?" Sean snorted, "Bada, shit, others are afraid of them, I am not afraid of them!"

"Okay." Norris said that Alexander had nothing to do. When the boss spoke, he would listen to him, and he would listen if he didn't.

However, Norris is not at all confident. The boss is not afraid that the eight majors are true. Except for the movie, other industries have nothing to do with Hollywood.

In this case, your own safety is still guaranteed.

When things were settled, Norris went to work, but Sean thought about new issues.

The right to speak public opinion!

Hollywood can influence the whole world. Through movies, they can distort history, distort public opinion, map some industries or companies through movies, and even smear a country and a race!

Having mastered one of the fastest spreading channels of movies, these guys have a really great voice.

From the future, he knows too much the importance of the high ground of public opinion, and it is time for him to take some action in this regard.

TV, radio, newspapers...

A few days later, Norris struck a deal with Miramax, and Sean Pictures retained the distribution rights to the videotape market.

Norris had his own video distribution channel when he was helping drug dealers sell money.

After the issuance agreement is settled, it involves advertising promotion. The amount of advertising expenses will directly affect the attendance rate in the first week.

North American box office splits are complex, and the first week of box office is crucial for studios.

To this end, after several negotiations, Sean agreed to another $1.2 million for advertising.

However, when the money came out, Sean was not very satisfied.

Miramax promised to get the summer file, but the summer file includes 'Back to the Future', 'First Blood 2', 'Seven Treasures', 'The Witness', '007 Thunderbolt', 'The Breakfast Club', 'Mad Max' '...

Looking at the names of these movies, Sean felt that his "Big Bank Robbery" was going to be cool.

No matter the director, actor, producer, distributor, including advertising fees, they all overwhelm their own "Big Bank Robbery", how can they get a good box office! ?

There is no miracle, Sean himself can't believe that he can't break out of the siege.

Moreover, even if the word of mouth is really running, I will not get any money when it is screened in the next few weeks.

The box office split is 1:9 in the first week, 5:5 in the fourth week, and lower after that.

Therefore, it is necessary to come up with some extraordinary means.

For example... map the reality before the movie is released?

...

Chapter 144:

After thinking about it, Sean felt that his plan was quite creative.

Of course, Sean wouldn't do it unless it was a last resort.

After all, he's not a bad guy.

He won't do anything unless forced to.

At noon, Lamb rushed over from New York, and Sean was going to take stock of the funds on hand.

"What?" Sean looked at Lamb in disbelief. "Just over 20 million in cash? How can it be so little?"

Lamb almost spit out a sip of coffee and forcibly swallowed a cough.

What is more than 20 million cash so little?

"No, I cut more than 60 million before and after the stock market, why is it gone?" Sean's face was ugly. He still wanted to buy a TV station. If he did this, where would there be any money.

"Boss, you bought the shares of Greg's Chemical Plant. It cost more than 40 million before and after." Lamb said while rubbing his eyebrows.

Sean blinked, as if...yeah.

"Damn, the investment is too big, and I don't know when it will take effect!" Sean said scoldingly, "I don't want to make dozens of times for Laozi, and I have to peel off Greg's skin!"

"I want to set up a media company and acquire a TV station." Sean explained his plan to call Lamb over.

Lamb frowned tightly and looked at Sean helplessly.

"What do you think?" Sean gestured.

"Boss, according to my experience, you are now involved in too many industries, and they are very messy." Lamb said after organizing the language: "Fitness, transportation, building materials, security, daily chemicals, environmental protection, movies, seven The categories are too wide, and the industry span is too large, and the potential of each industry has not been developed when the resources cannot be integrated.”

"Now you want to get involved in the media industry again, this..." Lamb spread his hands, "You always have to have a specific plan, and the follow-up development of any industry requires a lot of capital, personnel, and technical investment."

"Although diversification is a better way to resist risks, it is not a good choice to expand indefinitely. Sir, you should consider it carefully."

When Lamb said this, Sean also frowned a little. He was a fake wine maker in his previous life, and he didn't have as much business experience as he did in this life.

combine?

It's hard!

"Choice, sir, you always have a choice, which industry should you focus on?"

"I want it all!" Sean thought for a long time, then raised his head and said.

"It will take some time for the fitness club to expand after this expansion, and it will definitely continue to expand in the future. The next strategy targets are New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington." Sean said with his fingers crossed.

"Transportation and building materials are closely related to the same category. They will not continue to expand if they are rooted in New Jersey. At most, they will stretch out a few tentacles to open up large transportation routes in the surrounding area."

"Security companies will definitely expand, and the next step is New York and abroad. This is the foundation, although it only loses money and does not make money."

Lamb nodded, and he could see that, if Sean hadn't held such a violent institution in his hands, he would have been overturned long ago.

"Daily chemicals and environmental protection, these two are heavy asset investments. Development is step-by-step, and you can't get up quickly." Sean thought about it and shook his head, whether it was the idea of ​​Colombia's industrial base or the third brother's precious metal refining. ', don't even think about it for more than half a year.

"In the case of movies, it can actually be classified into the media industry, and it does not conflict with TV channels."

In this way, the fitness club is already a mature new system, and it does not need to intervene too much. As long as you break the local protection, you can let go.

Transportation and building materials are threads rooted in New Jersey and will not continue to grow.

Chemical environmental protection, long-term planning, not in a hurry.

The media industry is what I need to worry about the most right now.

Moreover, whether the media can control the right to speak in the future is very important.

The core of the future will be the media industry and security companies.

"I decided that the focus of the next period of time will shift to the media industry, which is imperative." Sean said.

"Okay then." Lamb sighed secretly, sorted out his mood, and said, "According to the laws of the United States, no media company can own TV and radio, TV and newspapers in a local market at the same time. A media company You can't have two top-rated TV stations in one city at the same time."

"This is to limit public opinion channels from being completely occupied by a certain company. Then, boss, which industry do you choose to start from?"

"Radio, small investment, quick results."

"Newspapers, medium-sized investments, and acquisitions and integrations will soon be effective in coverage, but the New York Daily, Washington Weekly and other newspapers are in a leading position and are difficult to break."

"TV station, the investment is large, the effect is unknown, the ratings are completely unpredictable, it all depends on the team."

"Damn the law, let the law go to hell!" Sean pouted, "I choose to have all of them, just start a few vest companies."

Sean called Jonas over, and as soon as they met, he said, "Go back and start a company and start a radio station."

"Ah!?" Jonas was stunned, what is this all about?

I'm a mafia family, start a radio?

"Ah what, you are black, I said brother, look at the current radio stations, nine out of ten are run by black people, don't you listen to the radio?"

"Listen, listen!" Jonas said, waving his fingers complacently after finding a place to sit down: "Do the radio, hehe, you white people can't do it, that's our black world."

This is also considered a racial skill, the mouth of black people is really special.

It's very fast, so you can hear it clearly, and the rap comes when you open your mouth.

In terms of musical talent, dance talent, and athletic talent, black people are indeed unique, and black music has always guided popular culture.

This, whether you look down on black people or not, is something you have to admit.

"There are radio stations in every city in New Jersey, big and small, there are several in Newark, all of them have some status in the rap world, and they have some influence in the entire black community." Speaking of this, Jonah Sis got his energy right away, "I'm telling you, Sean..."

"Okay, okay, you don't have to say so much, set up one or two radio stations, and then buy all the black radio stations in cities including Newark and Jersey City."

"A large radio station can be formed, and there may be a large radio station covering the whole of New Jersey. I want to monopolize it."

"No no no." Jonas waved his hand, "Head, I think you really don't understand radio, I tell you, all acquisitions are impossible."

...

Chapter 145:

Jonas gave Sean a good talk about black radio.

Most of the hosts of black radio stations are singers, but they have not entered any label, and are only relatively famous in the circle.

They also make records, but they are all underground records.

Because black music contains a lot of diss elements, which leads to many hatreds between singers, and most of the radio stations around the local singers will criticize each other.

Of course, it is precisely because of these hatreds and legends that many underground singers have another layer of color and their fame.

Plus, most black radio stations are so strongly regional that no one else listens to them at all.

After listening to Jonas, Sean pondered for a while and said, "Then set up a few more radio stations, three, four, divide them into different camps, separate and merge these small radio stations, and open different ones to those guys. Let them quarrel and diss on the radio during the up and down time, and it will be no problem."

"Uh...isn't that wasteful?" Jonas asked hesitantly.

"No." Shawn shook his head and said, "You drive the company to Newark, three or four, all in the same building, upstairs and downstairs, most of the equipment is public."

"Then, maybe there will be a fight." The corner of Jonas' mouth twitched, he could imagine a group of people with hatred taking the elevator together.

"That's not better!" Sean spread his hands, "There are more legends and stories to tell. The three companies are fighting head-to-head, endlessly attacking each other."

"You're the boss, it's ok if you control this level well. As long as you don't use guns or knives, they can fight whatever they want, and you can set up a special arena for them."

Jonas' eyes widened, the boss wanted to say that this idea was too underworld, but why did he find it interesting?

The two rappers dissed each other for a long time, and finally decided to go to the ring to decide the outcome, I'm afraid not many people want to watch it...

"Okay, I'll do it." Jonas walked away excitedly.

"Okay, I see." Lamb knew what to do without Sean's orders. "Whether the target is public television or cable television."

"What's the difference?" admits Sean, who rarely watches TV.

"Public TV stations are satellite TV stations. They are all free. The coverage area depends on how many base stations you have. However, because they are facing all the public, they have strict requirements for content, such as astringency, etc. The main source of income is advertising fees." Lamb begins to explain the difference.

"Cable TV is a paid TV station. The main source of income is user subscriptions, and advertising costs only account for a small part. After all, users don't spend money to watch advertisements."

"How to solve the wiring? Let's install it ourselves?" Sean didn't understand.

"How is it possible, which TV station can afford this kind of cost." Lamb shook his head and said: "There is a special cable TV service provider, they have direct access to users with cables, the TV station only needs to reach an agreement with the service provider and lease their lines. Can."

"The Dolan family is the New York Knicks you asked about last time. Their family is a cable TV service provider, and there are many TV stations that rent their lines."

"Oh oh oh." Sean nodded and said that the service provider is China Telecom and China Unicom to provide broadband Internet access. It is up to the user to choose which TV station to buy.

"Cable, of course, cable TV." All kinds of variety shows, all kinds of talent shows, all kinds of TV dramas, it's not a loss to not do pay TV stations.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on this," Lamb said, closing the notebook.

"Well, that's it." Sean nodded, these things are not a one-time thing, and will come slowly.

Just a few days of quiet here, Sean received bad news from Norris, and Harvey Weinstein privately hinted to him that the summer schedule might not get a good rate of filming.

Unless you continue to increase advertising costs.

"Mom, Fake, Lao Tzu's 1.2 million let him eat?" Sean's face suddenly turned ugly, 1.2 million, he didn't care too much, the problem was, he felt that the fat pig was killing himself!

"Advertising fees are very imaginary. It is said that billboards are placed in major theaters, and there is a lot of operating space inside. There is no way to calculate clearly, even the eight majors." Norris explained.

Closed industries are like this, very dark.

"Damn." Sean scolded, he couldn't think of a good way to do this for a while, the channel was in the other's hands, he couldn't just knock on the door and put a gun on people's heads.

Besides, how do you know if the other party really did his best after he agreed?

The theater chain is not controlled by the other party, and there are still eight pressures on it. There are too many reasons.

Gritting his teeth, Sean thought for a while and said, "Try to find out how they contacted them, and then go for a run yourself."

"It's useless, and the issue of film placement rates is not something that theaters can control themselves."

"Go the **** too!" Sean scolded and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he was not relieved. After thinking about it, he called Armstrong over and told him to collect some information about the bank in New York recently.

In the future, X Security will definitely enter New York.

After explaining these things, Sean took the plane and went straight to Los Angeles.

It's been a long time since I saw Diane Lane. After rubbing shoulders with a beauty of this level~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Sean doesn't look down on ordinary women.

"Sean." As soon as they met, Diane Lane threw herself into Sean's arms.

After a deep kiss at the airport, Sean and his party got into the car and left.

"Why do you suddenly want to come to Los Angeles?" Diane Lane asked in the car, leaning against Sean's arms.

"Like you, I haven't seen you for a long time." Sean reached out and scratched Diane's nose.

Diane giggled, and Sean believed what she said.

She doesn't care about other things.

When he arrived at Sean's villa in Hollywood, Sean pulled Diane directly into it.

haven't seen you for a long time.

Bill charged people with other things.

...

"Found someone, head."

"Okay, where is it?"

"In West Hollywood, Santa Monica Street, Macy's."

"Keep an eye on him, we'll come here."

Bill hung up the phone, and the three of them got into the car and drove straight to West Hollywood.

Twenty minutes later...

"Look, it's that fat man." The subordinate pointed to the third floor not far away.

Looking down the fingers, a woman in a red dress appeared in front of Bill's eyes, mixed race and fat buttocks.

In particular, the waist is very thin, and the buttocks appear larger.

"Head, although I also know that the woman is beautiful, I'm talking about the fat man beside her." The subordinate had to remind Bill.

"Oh, oh, I saw it." Bill coughed lightly.

"When do you start?"

"Do it right from the mall."

"People...a lot!"

"It doesn't matter." Bill shrugged. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
