Chapter 1522 ten years cake

The enthusiasm shown by Chris Wolf can easily make people like him, and Lin Daoqiu is no exception.

In recent years, Lin Daoqiu's movies released in Hollywood have achieved very good box office results. Although it cannot be said that Chris Wolf owes him a favor, it can be regarded as a happy cooperation in the past few years.

What Lin Daoqiu has to do now is to convince Chris Wolf to increase the ACC's priority on MGM.

Even if it cannot exceed the level of Paramount and Fox, it must at least be on par with them. This is the most important purpose of Lin Daoqiu's visit to see Chris Wolf today.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Wolf. In fact, I have heard of your name a long time ago, but I was too busy after buying MGM, so I didn't come to visit you as soon as possible. Please forgive me."

Lin Daoqiu himself once owned a Xiangjiang cinema chain, and he knows how much influence theater chain ownership has on film production companies.

It's a pity that the "Paramount Act" in the United States has not been completely cancelled, otherwise Lin Daoqiu would not mind integrating a theater chain and playing on his own.

But what Lin Daoqiu doesn't know is that the "Paramount Act" has actually begun to loosen up since its birth, and large production companies have begun to consider acquiring shares in theaters and theater chains through acquisitions and mergers.

But even so, in order to avoid investment risks, large production companies still dare not invest too much money in theaters. After all, they cannot make many movies in a year.

But they haven't forgotten to crack down on the "Paramount Act" that ties their hands and feet.

"Mr. Lin, you're welcome. Although we have never met before, our cooperation is still very pleasant. I haven't had time to congratulate you before Mr. Lin buys MGM. I believe that we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future.

"

Speaking of opportunities for cooperation, Lin Daoqiu came here just for this matter. Since Chris Wolf mentioned this matter, he can naturally follow the trend.

"Speaking of cooperation, actually I came to you today because I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Mr. Lin, please speak."

Chris Wolf looked at Lin Daoqiu seriously, and the smile on his face slowly faded away.

"Since I bought MGM, based on my understanding, MGM's priority in the ACC theater chain seems not to be very good."

Lin Daoqiu didn't make his words too clear, but in fact, MGM's priority among ACC theaters is the lowest.

MGM, which was previously under Kerkorian's control, had never had a movie with a box office of over 100 million, and the only top-grossing series was "007".

It’s no wonder why ACC has lowered MGM’s priority to the lowest. After all, if you don’t live up to your expectations, who will give you good preferential treatment?

But today is different from the past. The boss of MGM is no longer Kerkorian, but Lin Daoqiu.

This actor's box office performance in Hollywood over the years has always been among the top three in the year. This is an ironclad fact.

"Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, MGM's priority in the ACC theater chain was indeed the lowest before. There is nothing to hide. I believe you know the reason very well..."

Chris Wolf continued: "But now that you have taken over MGM, as a congratulatory gift for you to take over MGM, I plan to adjust MGM's priority by one level starting from today."

Lin Daoqiu actually doesn't know the priorities of ACC theater chains to movie companies, but according to Richardson, Fox and Paramount should be the highest.

Then it should be companies such as Universal and Warner, and finally MGM.

Now Chris Wolf has raised MGM's priority by one level. This is indeed a good thing for MGM, but it does not meet Lin Daoqiu's psychological expectations.

"Mr. Wolf, I think MGM deserves to be given the highest priority by ACC Cinemas."

Lin Daoqiu directly offered the price. He wanted to get the highest priority. This was the main reason why he came to see Chris Wolf today.

Chris Wolf just smiled at Lin Daoqiu's request.

"Mr. Lin, you don't know much about the ACC theater chain. Adjusting the priority of a film company is not something I can do alone, let alone adjusting it to the highest priority level all at once. This is almost impossible.

It’s impossible.”

Chris Wolf shook his head as he spoke. It seemed that Lin Daoqiu's request was impossible for him.

"The box office revenue generated by "Godzilla" for ACC alone is far higher than what other companies provide to ACC in a year. I can't think of any reason why you should refuse my request."

Lin Daoqiu felt that his request was reasonable and Chris Wolf had no reason to refuse.

"Mr. Lin, I don't deny that "Godzilla" has made a lot of money for ACC. ACC Cinemas also hopes to maintain good cooperation with you. This is why I directly raised the priority of MGM.

class……"

"But I just explained to you that raising the priority requires the approval of the board of directors. It is already very difficult for me to convince them to agree to raise the priority. Mr. Lin should be satisfied."

No matter how hard he thought about it, Lin Daoqiu couldn't figure out why Chris Wolf had any reason to refuse to raise MGM's priority to the highest level.

His achievements all along are just here. With one "Godzilla" film, other film companies were defeated. Doesn't Chris Wolf have no vision at all?

Lin Daoqiu suddenly had a doubt.

"I would like to ask, does MGM, which has been upgraded to the first level, have the same priority in ACC theaters as Universal and Warner?"

Chris Wolf shook his head.

Seeing Chris Wolf shaking his head, Lin Daoqiu immediately realized that although this guy talked about upgrading MGM, there was no benefit at all.

It is estimated that MGM is still at the bottom of the food chain at this time, probably on the same level as Columbia and Disney, and may even be worse than them.

If this is the case, then this upgrade has no practical effect at all for MGM. It is purely about saying it to make Lin Daoqiu happy.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, you don't need to worry. Although we are temporarily unable to increase MGM's priority, as long as MGM can achieve stable enough results in the next ten years, we will definitely consider this issue seriously."

Chris Wolf directly drew a big pie for Lin Daoqiu. His meaning was very simple, as long as MGM can create more revenue for the ACC theater chain in the next ten years.

At that time, Chris Wolf will consider raising the level of MGM, but it is unclear whether it will be raised to the highest level or just to the same level as Columbia and Disney.

"Thank you, Mr. Wolf. I'm glad that you are willing to take the time to meet with me today. Thank you for your hospitality. I hope to have the opportunity to chat with you in the future."
