Chapter 797 797. The world's first cinema chain?

In addition to praising its achievements in releasing movies, the celebration banquet held by Disney is also a place for Disney stars to socialize, so the guests present must dress more formally and not be too casual.

And this is exactly what troubles Li Binbin, because she has too many choices.

"GUCCI, CHANEL, Dior and PRADA, which one do you think I should choose?" Li Binbin invited Nie Wei to his room, and then asked Nie Wei, pointing to several movable hangers in front of him.

These clothes are sponsored dresses chosen by these international brands for Li Binbin, and the twenty or thirty sets in front of him are not all. If Li Binbin is not satisfied with this batch, these international brands will send more latest dresses. , until Li Binbin chooses one he is satisfied with.

In fact, according to Li Binbin's current popularity in the United States, she is not worthy of such sponsorship by these major international companies. After all, Li Binbin is only a new actress in Hollywood who has only appeared in one popular movie.

But who makes Li Binbin a Chinese? She has the Chinese market as a backer, which greatly increases her value in the eyes of these brand companies. After all, Li Binbin is now regarded as the top actress in China, one of the largest markets in the world. Has a very high reputation.

Coupled with the surge in consumption power of Chinese people in recent years, it proves the potential and value of this market, which is also coveted by these companies. Naturally, they will not let go of anyone who can attract people there to their own brands. Opportunity.

"Are the colors of these GUCCI clothes too eye-catching? They are gorgeous, but they are a bit too high-profile. The style of CHANEL is a bit girly. Will wearing it at my age make people look pretentious? But these pieces from PARDA The clothes I wear make me look a little older..."

Li Binbin looked at these dazzling clothes, obviously unable to make up his mind. Finally, he looked at Nie Wei, asking him to help make up his mind.

"No need to choose, I don't think any of these are suitable." Nie Wei stood up and said, "I already booked a gift for you when I knew I was going to attend this celebration banquet. Now I'm just waiting for you to come with me to meet one." Meet the designer."

"Designer, what dress did you order for me?" Li Binbin didn't care about Nie Wei's decision. Instead, she was more curious about what dress Nie Wei had prepared for her.

"I can't tell, but it's a dress that suits you better than the ones in front of you." Nie Wei replied with a smile.

"Still playing mysterious." Li Binbin rolled his eyes at Nie Wei, but his expression looked much more relaxed, obviously trusting Nie Wei.

After all, the original "Assassin's League" style was a great success because he followed Nie Wei's advice, and Nie Wei was able to make her so beautiful in the movie. Now he said that he would give himself something more suitable than these. , Li Binbin believed that Nie Weiwei would be able to do what he said.

The two of them took the nanny car and soon arrived in front of a villa.

"Here?" Li Binbin and Nie Wei got out of the car together and asked Nie Wei.

"Well, the other party's studio was originally in New York. I specially invited her to come to Los Angeles to help you design and make this dress." Nie Wei explained briefly, then smiled and said to Li Binbin: "Let's go, and help you by the way." Please introduce me. If your development in Hollywood goes smoothly in the future, you may have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Even if Nie Wei only revealed a few words, Li Binbin was as curious as a cat scratching his heart. After all, Nie Wei had a very high opinion of this mysterious designer in addition to her words.

With such curiosity, Li Binbin followed Nie Wei towards the door of the villa.

Walking to the door, Nie Wei first pressed the doorbell. After waiting for less than three or four seconds, the doorbell pager was connected.

"Sister Weiwei, it's me, Nie Wei."

"Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you right now."

A gentle voice came from the beeper, and Li Binbin was thinking about who this sister Weiwei was. Soon the door was opened, and Li Binbin didn't have time to think too much. He quickly put away his thoughts and followed Nie Wei. footsteps.

The villa is not big, there is only a small garden. Li Binbin can even clearly see the door of the villa through the small garden. Just as the two of them stepped into the garden and took a few steps, the door of the villa also opened, and then A woman who looked about forty or fifty years old came out and opened her arms towards Nie Wei enthusiastically.

Then Li Binbin saw Nie Wei coming up to her with a smile and hugged the woman gently. What made Li Binbin a little concerned was that the female designer seemed familiar to her, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

"Sister Weiwei, I haven't seen you for half a year. You seem to be young again. Shu Chang told me last time that she asked you for some skin care tips."

"I take your compliment seriously, but when it comes to maintenance, I have gained some experience recently. Next time I see Shu Chang, we will have a good exchange."

After a while of greetings, Nie Wei introduced Li Binbin beside him to Wang Weiwei. This time, Nie Wei asked the person who designed Li Binbin's dress to be Wang Weiwei, who had originally designed Shu Chang's wedding dress.

Although this female designer has been dubbed the 'Queen of Wedding Dresses', what really made her famous was designing dresses, and the dresses she designed have been selected as the best dressed by many media judges at major award ceremonies for many years. Award, it can be seen that her design ability in dress is also very good.

In addition to the dress, Nie Wei introduced Li Binbin to Wang Weiwei because she also wanted her to take care of Li Binbin.

This is also the main reason why Nie Wei specially invited her to Los Angeles, just to let Wang Weiwei and Li Binbin get to know each other. With Wang Weiwei, the fashion queen in the industry, as a guide, it will be much easier for Li Binbin to open up contacts here.

At this time, Li Binbin had also remembered who the woman in front of him was, and his attitude unconsciously became more respectful, assuming the attitude of a junior.

"Binbin has a very international face. No wonder so many young Americans are obsessed with it." Wang Wei smiled and praised Li Binbin, and soon brought the topic to his dress design this time.

"The design of this dress, first of all, I had a bold idea in terms of materials. I wonder, Binbin, have you heard of Yunjin?"

"Every inch of gold is Yun Jin?" Li Binbin was still thinking, but Nie Wei at the side had already opened her mouth to answer for her.

Hearing Nie Wei's answer, Wang Weiwei immediately smiled and nodded, and said: "I just received a nice piece of Yunjin, which matches your skin color very well, so I thought of designing a Yunjin cheongsam for you. "

"Sister Weiwei, you plan to let Sister Binbin show her oriental beauty to the greatest extent, not to cater to Western aesthetics, right?" Nie Weiwei knew Wang Weiwei's intention after hearing this.

"Nie Wei, if you are not a rich man, I really want to hire you as my assistant. You understand my thoughts so well." Wang Weiwei looked at Nie Wei as if he was seeing a close friend, because Nie What Wei said is absolutely correct.

In Wang Weiwei's view, instead of asking Li Binbin to wear those Western-style dresses to cater to Hollywood, it is better for her to wear Chinese-style cheongsam dresses to highlight her specialness, because in Wang Weiwei's eyes, whether it is the design circle or the entertainment circle, the most feared It's all about catering. Only when you are unique can you have the potential to succeed.

Soon, Wang Weiwei showed Li Binbin the Yunjin fabric to be used for the cheongsam dress. Li Binbin fell in love with the Yunjin fabric at the first sight.

The white cloud brocade with auspicious dark patterns is paired with the pictures of flowers and birds embroidered with golden silk thread. It is elegant and has a touch of grace and luxury. The Chinese civilization has accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years. The brocade fabric that once conquered the entire world really has something that makes women deeply moved. Fall in love with its charm.

"Sister Weiwei, this brocade is so valuable." She reluctantly looked away from the cloth. The first thing Li Binbin thought of, who was born in a poor family, was the value of this piece of cloth.

Even just looking at the quality of Yun brocade, you know that it is definitely not cheap. Coupled with the design of Wang Weiwei, a world-class designer, wouldn't this dress cost a sky-high price?

"Don't worry about money. These companies will take care of it for you." At this time, Nie Wei, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke. With one sentence, Li Binbin's inner tangle was dispelled, and he unconsciously showed a relaxed smile.

"Isn't it very happy to have a proud boss?" Nie Wei did not forget to tease Li Binbin. Li Binbin nodded affirmatively when he heard this and gave Nie Wei a thumbs up.

"Boss is so heroic!" Li Binbin looked like a valiant child of the world. He didn't feel embarrassed at all because the company paid for it. Li Binbin's reaction also made Nie Wei couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, the girl who grew up in that land , is born with a great energy in his temperament.

She accepted it frankly, which naturally meant that she accepted the company's goodwill.

Nie Wei also didn't mention the value of this cheongsam. Nie Wei didn't think it was necessary to mention something like asking for credit. For a loyal girl like Li Binbin, no matter how much benefit you give her, she will definitely pay you back double in the future.

Wang Weiwei then showed Li Binbin the design drawings she painted, and then explained her design elements and concepts to Li Binbin, while not forgetting to ask Li Binbin if she had any suggestions.

Finally, I measured Li Binbin's figure again, and today's meeting was basically over.

"Binbin, you'd better go on a diet in the past two days. You have a good figure, but cheongsam emphasizes curves most. Any shortcomings will be infinitely magnified. Of course, your beautiful curves will also be infinitely magnified." Wang Weiwei finally sent Nie Weihe a message. When Li Binbin left, he did not forget to give Li Binbin a few words.

"I know, I will pay attention to my diet." Li Binbin promised.

Two days later, on the day before the Disney celebration party, the finished cheongsam was finally made as Li Binbin had been looking forward to it. Wang Weiwei personally delivered the cheongsam to the hotel where Li Binbin was staying. The two also chatted about the celebration party the next day. Wang Weiwei didn't say goodbye until the two of them had a French lunch together in the hotel restaurant.

Nie Weiwei didn't return to the hotel until the evening. He had been busy negotiating with AMC Cinemas Company these days. The acquisition had come to an end, and he would naturally appear as the BOSS.

The final transaction value of the entire acquisition was US$2.5 billion, and Nie Wei would obtain all the shares of AMC. The company was delisted last year due to debt repayment, which saved Nie Wei a lot of trouble.

AMC has 346 businesses and more than 5,000 screens. After acquiring this theater chain, Nie Wei has become the number one theater chain in the world with the addition of Star Cinemas in his hands. merchant.

Of course, at this moment, the final step of agreement from the trading departments of the two countries is still needed for this transaction to be completely completed.

At this point, Nie Wei and the shareholders of AMC are mobilizing their own efforts to facilitate this transaction as soon as possible. Nie Wei is very anxious, and the shareholders of AMC are even more anxious.

After all, they are short of money and want to get rid of this burden as soon as possible.

On the night of Disney's celebration party, the news that Nie Wei's Fanxing Company acquired AMC Cinemas was finally revealed by a financial media outlet in the United States that had received the news. As soon as this news appeared, it immediately caused an uproar in China and the United States.

So much so that when Nie Wei attended the celebration banquet that day, the stars and Disney executives looked at Nie Wei a little differently.

Nie Wei didn't care much about this, nor did he care about the inner thoughts of these people. What really annoyed him was the reporters who came to the scene to interview. Obviously, after Nie Wei acquired the second largest theater chain in the United States, this The media reporters also have a lot to ask Nie Wei.

When the process of the celebration banquet started, this group of reporters could restrain themselves for a while. When the formalities of the celebration banquet were completed, this group of media immediately seized this momentary opportunity and threw all the questions at Nie Wei.

"Mr. Nie, when you acquire AMC Cinemas at this time, are you optimistic about the future of the American film market?"

"Mr. Nie, what is your true price for acquiring AMC Cinemas?"

"After acquiring the AMC theater chain, what are your plans to transform this theater chain company?"

"Will your acquisition of AMC Cinemas affect your cooperation with Disney?"

Of course, Nie Wei would not reveal his plan to this group of media. After leaving a word of no comment, he walked into the banquet hall. As for the group of media, they were naturally blocked by the security guards at the scene.

On the contrary, Iger, who was walking beside Nie Wei, looked at Nie Wei with a somewhat meaningful look for a long time, and suddenly said with a smile: "Mr. Nie, I admire your ambition to acquire AMC theaters."

"The final result has not been determined yet, everything is just empty talk." Nie Wei replied with a smile.

Hearing Nie Wei's words, Iger shook his head, then picked up the two glasses of champagne on the table, handed them to Nie Wei, and then said: "I don't think the US government has any reason to reject this deal, right? I wish Mr. Nie success with this glass of champagne, after all, champagne represents victory.”

Nie Wei smiled, picked up the champagne in his hand and clinked the glass with Egger.

On the other side, Wang Weiwei and Li Binbin were chatting with a group of celebrities invited by Disney. Originally, Li Binbin thought that these Hollywood celebrities would be very cold towards him, and might also act arrogant. But after actual contact, she found that the enthusiasm of this group of people was beyond her imagination.
