Chapter 1127: The source of the film leaked one

This penthouse is worthy of being the king-level building, with supporting swimming pools, private cinemas, spas, squash rooms, etc. In addition, the Royal Air Force provides a security force composed of retired special forces for this most luxurious apartment.

According to the agent, this most expensive apartment in the world has a hidden emergency shelter. If the residents are robbed or kidnapped, they can hide in this shelter within ten seconds and win enough time to ask for help.

For those rich people who cherish their lives, safety is undoubtedly the top priority. This configuration of Hyde Park has touched the hearts of the rich, and the money is not lightly taken out.

The agent took Yang Cheng and the others to the huge floor-to-ceiling window facing Hyde Park, pointed to the balcony with a slightly exposed corner next to it and said, "That is the top-floor apartment in Building D. The layout is the same as the one we are in now, but the area is smaller. The current owner is a rich man from Eastern Europe. I cannot tell the information of the owner for confidentiality, but in order to allow his family to enjoy a higher quality of life, he chose a loan to complete the transaction."

The subtle meaning is that this luxury house is worth any price you pay.

Price nodded and added, "As far as I know, there are 4 luxury houses with top-floor apartments in No. 1 Hyde Park, among which three buildings a, b and d already have owners, and only this one in Building C is left."

Yang Cheng nodded without saying a word. The house was good, but he was not going to buy it either. It was expensive, and on the other hand, he was not based in London. He wasted and had to spend a lot of money to maintain it. Moreover, the appreciation potential of Hyde Park No. 1 was almost exhausted, and there was no need to invest.

Besides, if he really wants to invest, he will not buy top-floor apartments. The small apartment downstairs, tens of millions of pounds per room, will be more affordable. Once he needs to cash out with money, it will be more convenient to sell.

Thinking of this, he wrote down the matter and turned around and asked Carson to do a survey before deciding whether to invest.

After returning to the manor, Andrew actually came back, "Boss, the target went home early in the morning, and then took a civil flight to Greece with his luggage. I checked it and she urgently booked a room in a resort and made an appointment for half a month."

Yang Cheng asked strangely, "Is she going out to hide from the limelight? Or is she relaxing?"

Andrew shook his head, obviously he couldn't answer this question.

After thinking for a while, I didn't think that this woman could make waves, so I simply ignored it and told me, "Okay, you have a good rest and go back to New York tomorrow."

Andrew responded, but Hansen reminded, "Boss, No. 29, "Fifty Degrees of Black" premiere in London."

Yang Cheng paused, "I won't go. The last one sold well, this one shouldn't be too bad, and William will help support the venue, so there's nothing to worry about."

He thought it well, and there was nothing worth worrying about. New Era Film has already gotten on the right track. Under Donna Round's control, the company's momentum is getting better and better. With the launch of several billion yuan series of investments, it has already become the limelight of DreamWorks' peak at that time.

Especially with the injection of Yang Cheng's large amount of funds, the original shortcomings in the distribution channels of Lions Gate Pictures were made up for, which alone was far beyond DreamWorks of that year.

You should know that at the peak of DreamWorks, it was frantically suppressed by six major companies. After a long period of internal struggle, it failed to have its own overseas distribution channels, which greatly restricted the development of DreamWorks.

However, New Era Film Company acquired Lions Gate and several small and medium-sized film companies in one step, and directly gained the distribution channel that Lions Gate built in more than 10 years. It can be said that it perfectly achieved overtaking on the curve. Even because of its backing of New Era Media, its advantages in online distribution have exceeded six majors to a certain extent, directly cutting off the six majors’ thoughts of suppressing them.

In the film industry, if you master the distribution channels, you can basically gain an invincible foothold and come to ask for the release of the film. Even if you lose money to grandma's house, the distribution department will have money to make, and even account for a considerable proportion of the company's total revenue.

However, the only thing New Era Film lacks at present is its influence in MPAA. MPAA is the American Film Association. The grading system they formulated is equivalent to the large scissors of Country Z. It is a bloody dagger that lies on the heads of all film companies. The people who control this dagger are the six major ones. When they want to be consistent with the outside world, they will stab the dagger without hesitation.

A movie could have been divided into pg-13, but MPAA will give you the R-level or even more disgusting nc-17. Do you have any way? Anyway, the small film company can only accept it with its nose pinched.

Of course, although these are all qian rules, MPAA must maintain a fair, open and fair face on the surface. If a comedy is forcibly divided into nc-17, MPAA cannot stop the saliva of the people.

But no matter what, only by penetrating influence into mpaa will the outside world recognize your status as a giant. Otherwise, you will be the enhanced version of DreamWorks, but you cannot turn the six majors into seven majors. If you are dead, you will be the one from Six Plus One.

’.

However, the matter of MPAA cannot be rushed. Donna Round is already operating. In addition to spending a lot of money on American dollars, it also requires more time to accumulate. Not to mention anything else, the copyright library alone will not be able to tilt the threshold of giants.

However, the most important thing at the moment is not the grading issue, but the "bad news" that Yang Cheng received as soon as he landed.

News from New Era Pictures that the ten-minute editing clip of "Fifty Degrees of Black" is circulating on the Internet, which is like a blow to Yang Cheng. Before, he had sworn that nothing would happen.

But now it not only happened, but it is also the most serious one.

Before the movie was released, there were clips on the Internet. This is not an official trailer, but a complete plot clip. What does this mean?

It means that the film source is leaked! It means that someone is doing something!

Yang Cheng entered Maybach with a serious expression, and his phone rang from time to time. Su Su kept collecting information and sending it to Yang Cheng so that he could understand the progress of the matter.

To be honest, the impact of video leakage can be big or small. For some niche videos, early leakage is actually a good gimmick, and maybe you will take the opportunity to harvest a wave of box office.

But for those popular movies with high investment costs, leaks mean losses. Previously, popular blockbusters such as "Wolverine", "Expected Squad 3", "Wild Revenge", and "Extreme Agent 3" were leaked and spread rapidly on the Internet.

The most typical time was in 2009. The producer of "Wolverine", Twentieth Century Fox, lost more than $50 million because the entire film was leaked. Now similar things have happened to New Era Pictures, and the disaster caused may be even more serious.

Donna Lund has no time to investigate who the mastermind was the leak. No one believes it was unintentional. It was 100% caused by some despicable things.

But the most important thing at the moment is to put out the fire as soon as possible. Donna Round has applied for assistance from the parent company, and the media company has already started to delete videos online, but the speed of video spread is comparable to bacterial reproduction. Even if most of the people in the Internet department are mobilized, they cannot delete it.

Maybach ran towards the company quickly, and Yang Cheng searched the news online with a serious look on his face, guessing that the incident was caused by the bastard, and if he caught it, he would have to lose all his money.

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang out, and Yang Cheng connected without hesitation for a second, "Su Su, what's the matter?"

Su Su didn't dare to delay and said directly, "Ms. Donna Rounde came with a message that a hacker sent an email to her president's mailbox, threatening New Era Pictures to pay 5,000 bitcoins immediately, otherwise the full version of "Fifty Degrees of Black" would be announced immediately."

Yang Cheng's face was so dark. Hacker? Another hacker? God knows how much blame the hackers took on the bastards.

He didn't believe that this was done by hackers. The database of New Era Film was constructed by engineers from Toutiao app. Ordinary hackers could not even attack the first firewall. Strong hackers were disdainful to steal film sources to make money, which was not realistic.

And you need 5,000 bitcoins. At the current price of more than 800 US dollars, 5,000 is worth 4 million US dollars. This is not a threat at all. If you understand it from another perspective, it is impossible for the victim to give out 4 million US dollars to compromise. Therefore, the other party is simply using slander words to notify you: I will not accept the negotiations.

However, this incident reminded Yang Cheng that if he remembers correctly, Bitcoin will usher in a crazy rise starting this year, and the highest is as high as $19,000 per person. Even if you buy it at an average price of $1,000, it will be a 19-fold profit. Jesus Christ, thank you dear hacker.

Yang Cheng laughed inexplicably. This was a coincidence. The other party originally wanted to threaten it, but he didn't expect to remind Yang Cheng of an opportunity to make a lot of money. It was really interesting.

Thinking of this, he felt that the loss of a movie was nothing.

Of course, these are two different things. He dislikes being threatened the most, let alone threats with unknown intentions.

Su Su said again, "Ms. Donna Round has contacted the Los Angeles branch, hoping to get help."

Yang Cheng was stunned and looked for f~b~i? It was a bit unreliable. To use a joke that the Americans often made, "Where is f~b~i? They only live in the scripts of American TV drama directors."

The filmmakers who were stolen from film sources have not found f~b~i, but the number of threats before was small, and f~b~i was too lazy to spend time. They were helpless about the subsequent film sources theft cases, and even tried to convince the filmmakers to pay the ransom, "To be honest, the money they want is not as good as your bill for one night in the Cannes hotel!"

Anyway, Yang Cheng had no hope for f~b~i, but he didn't say anything, this was a necessary process.
Chapter completed!
