Rebirth
Chapter 978 World Cup Mark
Barry Diller and Frank came together and got the best results. After a detailed exchange with Li Feng, in addition to the acquisition of EMI, two new investment directions were established. This is Fundamental investment for the entire industry.
Soon, the two of them left in excitement, ready to go for the next formal acquisition of EMI and the contact negotiations with Dolby and imax industry-based companies.
Regarding the invitation of the two to attend the signing ceremony of the EMI Company, Li Feng declined with a smile. Li Feng felt that there was no need to go out on his own. Some generals could use why they had to make the first bird by themselves and be a low-key one behind him. The boss will do.
In the next few days, time passed quickly, and Li Feng had a good time in Paris.Similarly, during the upcoming World Cup, the signing ceremony after the official acquisition of EMI did not arouse much discussion, except for people in the industry.
After all, the whole of France and even Europe are discussing the World Cup. Where can the European people care about EMI studios? Europe doesn’t care anymore, and the rest of the continents naturally don’t care anymore, but it caused a sensation in Hollywood. , It can be considered a lot of trouble avoided.
After all, Europe used to be the master of the United States. Often when American companies acquire some long-standing European companies, they always cause a sensation. Some established European brand companies always have a huge influence in the upper echelons of the United States.
...
The film industry of EMI and even Europe used to be extremely brilliant. At that time, when the film industry just emerged, Europe was the center of the film industry. At that time, European film companies such as EMI and other film companies controlled the world's film industry far more than today's Hollywood. Strong, at that time Hollywood was in the ashes behind.
Similarly, the major media giants in the United States have also begun to get busy. If the previous MGM was still slightly weaker than the major Hollywood giants, then the current MGM and the major giants are already Completely evened the distance.
The acquisition of EMI means the complete rearrangement of global distribution channels. How important is this for a Hollywood giant. These giants can't be clearer. Although MGM had a huge reputation, it is realistic to say that MGM is in Hollywood. The strength of MGM is more than that of others such as Fox, Paramount, Universal, etc. The most important of which is that MGM has lost its global distribution network.
After Li Feng took over, MGM now relied on Tianyu, a well-funded media group, to expand wildly, and completed the reconstruction of its global distribution network from Asia to Europe. Relying on MGM’s own heritage and Hollywood’s advantages, Hollywood now Back to the 7 major patterns again.
The sudden re-emergence of the originally weak MGM will naturally have a new impact on the original Hollywood pattern. It is no wonder that after the acquisition of EMI by MGM, Hollywood has become a lot of lively, and the industry's shock is really not small.
...
On June 10th, the lively opening ceremony of the World Cup was held at the French Stadium. Li Feng and others naturally prepared everything. As time approached, Li Feng and his group joined the team after preparing for it. To the French Stadium.
Different from the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in a few hours, the opening ceremony of the World Cup is only 30 minutes, and immediately after the opening ceremony is the opening game of the World Cup, which is also true this afternoon.In his previous life, Li Feng watched the World Cup for the first time. The opening ceremony and the opening match were all in the middle of the night, but now he is visiting France in the afternoon.
Li Feng and his party are naturally tickets with VIP seats. Although they are not the most central position with the big players in football, they are also the VIP positions second only to these big players. They are also relatively close.
The impression of the World Cup in the past life is quite deep, and there are many imprints even now, Li Feng is still impressed, such as one of the theme songs of the World Cup-Cup of Life, but unfortunately another World Cup sung at the opening ceremony. The first theme song-'Do you mind if I play football'!
For this theme song, Li Feng has only heard of such a theme song. As for the details, I don’t know anything about it. After all, the more popular theme song is the cup of life, but Lin Hai listened to it. Tao's first football novel was called "Do you care if I play football".
According to Li Feng’s current mind, it is estimated that Lin Hai Tingtao, the first person in the sports category of online novels in the future, should follow the 98 World Cup theme song when writing the first novel and choosing the title of the novel. Name it.
Before the official opening match, Li Feng also received an invitation from the most central football leaders in the VIP stand. Li Feng had met and chatted with these famous football leaders in the past. The former FIFA president Blatter and the recently retired Brazilian, Avilange, known as the emperor of football.
Similarly, I also met UEFA President Johansson and France’s organizer of this World Cup, the future UEFA tycoon, and French football star-Platini.
I simply greeted and exchanged greetings with the rest of the people, but it was Johansson, the European football tycoon, who caught Li Feng, expressing his welcome to Li Feng to join the Premier League and European football, and to Chelsea. Congratulations, compliments and so on for the rise of the season and the results achieved.
...
At the beginning of the opening game, Li Feng met the Brazil team and the alien Ronaldo, who are now in full swing. Similarly, Li Feng met on the big screen of the scene, he saw the beautiful girlfriend of Ronaldo, Susana, who was impressed in his previous life.
Except for some insights at the opening ceremony, the opening game of this World Cup is not as exciting as people imagined. At first, Brazil took the lead in just a few minutes. Most people thought it would be a big victory for Brazil. On the contrary, perhaps the Brazilian team was careless, and in the end it was just a'difficult' victory over the opponent, leading by 2:1, one of which was an own goal.
For the memory of this World Cup, what impresses Li Feng most is that apart from France entering the final with Brazil and France winning the championship, there is also Croatia's "dark horse" posture, which surprised the world.
Of course, what makes ordinary people even more happy is the rumors that the aliens were suddenly "fainted" before the final. In the end, the aliens were drowsy and in no state at all in the finals, even the state of the Brazilian team from the beginning of the game. It is doubtful.
Although congratulations to France after the game, there are more rumors about the "shadow". After the World Cup, various rumors were rampant. For example, it is said that after the World Cup, many players in the Brazilian team received the "reward" from France. , It is millions of dollars at every turn.
Also, it is said that Ronaldinho was fainted and even foaming at the mouth because he drank his teammate's drink before the game, which almost made people think he was going to be reimbursed. After all, Ronaldo was only 21 years old and was elected to World Football for two consecutive years Sir, the prestige is in full swing, and they all say that the 98 World Cup is the road of "Proving the Tao is King".
According to the media, between money and fame, Ronaldinho undoubtedly chose the latter. After all, the opportunity to become the world champion is right in front of him. Ronaldo will not give up. If you don’t want to give up, then you will be in no state. Right.
...
Although later generations of Ronaldo repeatedly stated that this was just an ordinary food poisoning, the "shadow theory" is obviously more newsworthy than simple food poisoning. More importantly, there are facts to prove it, such as the World Cup. In the second year, France cancelled all Brazil's debt.
A word of reminder, at that time France was Brazil’s largest creditor country, just like the later China is the largest creditor country of the U.S. Empire, although the size of this debt is not the same, anyway, in the second year of the world, France was unconditional and quiet. All Brazilian debts were cancelled.
There is even a saying that France has negotiated with FIFA, Brazil, etc., to ensure that the next World Cup and the 2002 World Cup, Brazil’s greatest advantage on the field, finally in the 2002 World Cup, Brazil really From the group stage to the final finals, almost no strong teams were encountered, as if they were taken to the finals.
Of course, there are also Platini’s later remarks about France’s “hands and feet” in the World Cup draw, ensuring that France will not run into the hottest Brazil before the finals. When these news came out, they were all rumors in the world. .
If these news are true, Li Feng can only say that the most depressed among them is the alien Darro. Look at whether it is Brazil, France, or FIFA, they are all beneficiaries, but the only depressing Luo it.
Originally, Ronaldinho was expected to be king according to the right way in the 98 World Cup. At that time, Ronaldo was in full swing, and the whole world praised his talent and praised him as the next-generation champion.It is a pity that I missed the 98 World Cup, even if I won the championship in 2002, but at that time Ronaldo was not the only king in the world football, including the rise of super giants such as Zidane and Rivaldo. The reputation of these people It is not inferior to Da Luo, and the quality of the sermon has been widely questioned.
In the later generations of the world’s king, people generally think that there are two people, the crow and the Ma Dazui, and under these people are Ronaldo, Zidan, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, etc. Super giants.
...
In Li Feng's view, these rumors are not necessarily groundless, but they have not formed the mainstream. How can it be possible to make them clear? The World Cup, international football, etc., there are too many resources and wealth available, there are Several people were able to maintain their innocence. Later generations, including Platini, Blatter and others, eventually reported the bribery scandal and stepped down.
