Wearing a casual jacket, blue jeans, sneakers, backpack, sunglasses, and holding a camera, Yang Ming's ordinary appearance made it impossible for anyone to recognize that this young man with black hair was a star who would soon become very famous in the United States.

Along the way, Yang Ming visited the Avenue of Stars and the 'imprints' left by countless stars on it.

I wonder if he will become one of them in this life.

There should be no problem, Yang Ming is very confident about it.

As he looked along, he could already see the imprints left by several Chinese stars on this Avenue of Stars. Compared to previous lives, the number was much greater.

The changes brought about by the strong national strength are all-round, and Yang Ming feels it deeply.

With the Academy Awards coming soon, Oscar promotional posters can be seen everywhere in Hollywood. Yang Ming even saw his own face appearing in Oscar promotional posters. Compared with Hollywood, China's entertainment industry has lagged far behind.

Many problems can be seen in the holding of a film award.

In terms of preparation, publicity, positioning, style, in all aspects, the Academy Awards has surpassed the Golden Dragon Awards by a lot. If the Golden Dragon Awards do not make certain reforms, the gap between this world-famous Chinese film award and the Oscars will become even wider.

Come bigger.

Yang Ming was alone, as if like a tourist, walking around Hollywood, taking countless photos, and then returned to the hotel.

Early the next morning, Barber came over.

"The situation is not good. Several of my old friends told me that it will be very difficult for Oriental DreamWorks to gain anything at this Oscar." When he saw Yang Ming, Barber said with a solemn expression.

Compared with Barber's loss, Yang Ming didn't feel much. In his heart, the Oscar Award did not have a high status at all.

If China in this world is still the same as in previous lives, and there is no Golden Dragon Award, one of the world's three most famous film awards, he may pay more attention to this film award in Hollywood.

But he will definitely not be like some domestic directors in previous lives who went to Hollywood in order to be recognized by the Oscars.

In fact, if it weren't for Barber's persistence, Yang Ming would not have put any thought into Oscar. He understands the rules of Hollywood better than anyone else. It is either very difficult or simply impossible.

Oriental DreamWorks may get minor awards such as Best Film Music, Best Special Effects, etc. Otherwise, it will only get Best Screenplay, but Best Actor, Best Director, Best Film, these awards

, Oriental DreamWorks, don’t even think about it, those people in Hollywood will never award these awards to a Hollywood film company with impure blood.

"Let nature take its course. Some things cannot be forced. If we are always so good, even if someone blocks the light of DreamWorks, it will not be possible!" Yang Ming persuaded.

"Alas!" Barber sighed quietly. In fact, he knew in his heart that Yang Ming didn't pay much attention to the Oscars. He also knew that with his understanding of Hollywood, Oriental DreamWorks wanted to win at the Academy Awards just like it did at the Golden Dragon Awards.

Getting ahead in the same way is simply more difficult than reaching the sky.

Several of his old friends told him not to have high hopes for the movie "2012" produced by Oriental DreamWorks.

Barber quickly returned to his normal mood, thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "Yang, I have already been in contact with Gerry Lopez."

"Oh, what did he say?" Yang Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his whole body became energetic.

"He is not opposed to a being acquired. We can even get his help to a certain extent. However, he has a request and wants to meet with you before discussing it." Barbour said seriously.

After hearing Barber's words, Yang Ming stood up excitedly, walked back and forth, and began to think about the meaning of the other person's words.

In his mind, the theater chain is the top priority, and it is definitely his bloodline in building a film empire. He cannot have his own bloodline in the hands of others.

Although the film industry in the United States has long separated the distribution, production, and screening of movies, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. The giants in Hollywood are overtly and covertly. Which giant does not control a theater company?

Even if it is a theater chain, Yang Ming knows that 20% of the shares of this theater chain company are indirectly controlled by a Hollywood giant through layer-by-layer exchanges.

Yang Ming's current goal is not to acquire all the shares of A and squeeze this entertainment giant out of A, but he must have enough voice to pave a bright road for Oriental DreamWorks' future plans.

30% of the shares, this is Yang Ming’s minimum requirement.

a is the second largest theater chain company in the United States, with a total of 347 theaters and more than 5,000 screens. It was the first to introduce the multi-hall concept and is a household name in the United States.

The theaters owned by Company A are concentrated in the centers of large cities in the United States, and are among the top 50 theaters with the highest box office in North America. In addition to introducing the concept of multiplexes for the first time, there are also many firsts in film history. For example, setting the seat armrests to be removable

Adjustable, lift the armrest to become a couple's seat; there is a cup holder on the armrest to make it easier for the audience to place drinks.

It can be said that Theater A Company is well-known in the United States. Yang Ming has already started investigating this theater company, and he is extremely cautious, fearing that any news will leak out.

There are only three people in Oriental DreamWorks who know about this matter, Yang Ming, Liu Xinsheng, and Barber who is responsible for this matter.

No one else knows about this.

Yang Ming is well aware of the influence of this theater chain company in Hollywood. Once the news leaks out, it will inevitably have a chain reaction. It will be extremely difficult for him to acquire more shares in this theater chain company.

Therefore, if he doesn't make the acquisition, once he starts the acquisition, he must complete the acquisition in the shortest possible time. If the giants in Hollywood react, they will definitely stop it.

He believes that no one in Hollywood would like to see a Chinese film company backed by the second largest theater company in the United States enter the American film market.

"It's okay to meet, you can arrange it." Yang Ming said cautiously.

According to his plan, if the acquisition begins, he will still entrust Hongmu Capital to acquire it under other names, otherwise he will definitely alert the snake.

And because of Meituan.com's plan to go public, Yang Ming is now an important VIP customer of Hongmu Fund. In addition, due to his business dealings with Hongmu Fund, there is no problem for him to entrust Hongmu Fund to acquire a theater company.

In fact, entrusted acquisitions are also one of the business scopes of Redwood Fund.

"Well, are there no problems with funds?" Barber couldn't help but asked worriedly. This is not a small amount of money.

Hearing Barber's words, Yang Ming couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm short of everything, but I'm not short of money. Barber, don't worry, I will never hold back on funds."

Yang Ming's domineering answer made Barber couldn't help but laugh.

He thought of the billionaire in front of him.

The market value of a theater chain company is about 2.6 billion yuan, one-third, which is almost 900 million yuan. This should not be a big problem for Yang Ming.
