Light and shadow player

Chapter 527 People in America
David showed them around the company, and Cheng Yu'an and Cheng Lingfeng discussed things in the office.

"Can this be done?" Cheng Yu'an expressed concern about what Cheng Lingfeng was going to do.

"Try it, the Marvel universe is so popular, and DC has started to do it, why can't we?" Cheng Lingfeng also wants to make a movie universe.

But a big film company does not have this gene, and neither the copyright library nor the film library can compare with Marvel.

"But you are a killer universe," Cheng Yu'an looked at the few movies on the list, not knowing what to say, ""John Wick" will spread the killer world at least in the second and third movies, "The Witch Eunuch" Can the world of "John Wick" be linked with "John Wick"? When we create this killer world, we basically rely on originality, and the risk is too great."

Marvel has comics as a background, Cheng Yu'an has nothing to do in the movie universe.

This is something no one has done before, even if he lives a new life, he is not sure that he can do it.

"Lucy can be added later."

"No, Lucy has already become a god. When she comes to the killer universe, it will be a dimension reduction blow. If you really want to do it, you can add the gangsters from Hong Kong Island in "Super Body". Lucy's CPH4 can be used as an introduction to introduce the killer world Go to low-level sci-fi. The medicine of NZT-48 in "Never Ending" can also be used as a linkage." Cheng Yu'an immediately had a general development direction of the future killer universe in his mind.

Some people will say that the audience is here to watch the killer fight with real swords and guns, why do you make it into science fiction.

"Fast and Furious" can drive into nuclear submarines and satellites, so it's not too much for me to pass through the science fiction of Killer Universe, right?

The killer universe is developing in the direction of science fiction. Cheng Yu'an roughly estimated that more than 10 movies will be used to pave the way for the world view, and there will be TV dramas in between.

"Talk to Europa Films and see if we can authorize the worldview of "Taken" to us." Cheng Yu'an immediately thought about the killer universe ten years later.

Even the idea of ​​"Taken" has to be played.

"There's no rush," Cheng Lingfeng said, "The third part of "Taken" Europa has to be filmed."

"Still filming? The second film was made by selling copyrights, and the third film is still filming? Can Liam Neeson be moved?"

"Don't worry about whether people can be beaten or not. They will start filming in February next year. Let's put "Taken" aside and do a good job with "John Wick" and "The Witcher" in our hands."

"How is the preparation for "Jurassic World"?" It has been almost 2 years since the film was authorized by Universal.

"It's almost there. Now we need actors. We tentatively plan to launch in Hawaii in April next year." Well, there is still half a year left.

"I forgot to tell you, Lu Zheng wants to put Tiantian in."

Cheng Yu'an frowned, not because he disliked Lu Zheng's behavior, but because he didn't understand what role Jing Tian could play in "Jurassic World".

"I told Lu Zheng that the script has been finalized, and the heroine is a white woman, so it is impossible for Tian Tian to play it. He doesn't mind at all, and he said it is fine to play a supporting role. He said that he is willing to pay 1300 million U.S. dollars."

"For 1300 million US dollars, just buy a supporting actress?" Cheng Yu'an knew that Lu Zheng was rich, but he had never seen such money spent.

Cheng Lingfeng smiled: "No one will refuse this price."

Cheng Yu'an nodded, and he would agree with him.

"So I gave Tian Tian the secretary of the heroine Claire, Zara."

The aunt and nephew were talking when David knocked on the door lightly and told them to go to lunch.

Cheng Yu'an nodded, and walked out to the company canteen with Cheng Lingfeng.

A group of people from the company also finished the tour, followed behind, and a few girls were chattering, saying that the games in the company's entertainment room were fun, and that the company's fruits and coffee were good.

Reba was still holding a genuine minion backpack from a big animation company.Nazha wants the animation company to give her a Dabai doll.But the person in charge said that "Big Hero [-]" won't be released until next year, and the dolls are only made as samples, so they can't be released to the public. They will give her another one after the movie is released.

In the end, Nazha took the same Teddy from "Teddy Bear".

Everyone took the elevator to the cafeteria, Cheng Lingfeng said: "Tell Tiantian later, don't do this in the circle, it's annoying." What he said was to use money to open the way, "She listens to you."

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm getting married soon, you say Tian Tian listens to me.

"What can she do? It's not like you don't know what the stars are like. Tian Tian doesn't care."

Cheng Yu'an knew that the stars were shining brightly for a few days.

Probably next year it will fall into a crisis and gradually disappear from the circle, Tiantian will have a very difficult life in the future.

After the meal, Cheng Yu'an acted as a tour guide and took everyone around Hollywood, a real public-funded tour.

Back at the hotel in the evening, after settling everyone down, Cheng Yu'an returned to his room to have a video conference with the domestic remote executives.

"Good guy, these internet guys are really rich!" Chen Zhixi said.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Yu'an was in a foreign country, and the news was a bit unclear.

"Ari plans to acquire Youku for US$45 billion."

"How much?!" Cheng Yu'an couldn't believe his ears.

"A billion dollars."

"No, is Youku worth 45 billion?"

In this life, Tudou is held in remote hands. Although Youku is still the number one video platform in China, Tudou, Wannian's second child, poses a great threat to him on the content side. The gap between the two is almost negligible. Just wait for a chance. Can fully overtake.

For this reason, Ari is willing to spend the original 45 billion US dollars for the acquisition.

"Whether it's worth it or not, Ari has already made a takeover offer to Youku's board of directors, and the hope is great." Youku's boss position is trembling.

Among the top 3 domestic video sites, his family has no backing.

Backed by the largest film and television company in China, Tudou has a 3-year guarantee of 100 billion self-made content investment, plus a 3-year long-distance film and television content.

Behind Aiqiyi is Du Niang, who is also rich and powerful.

Youku urgently needs to find a solid backer.

"Yunfeng Fund approached me before," Wang Wei said, "it said that it would buy 10% of my shares for US$14.7 billion, but I did not agree."

Long-distance does not hold 100% of Tudou's shares. Long-distance owns 28.14% of Tudou's shares and is the largest shareholder. The founder Wang Wei still owns 16.4%.

When Yuanyuan took control of Tudou, it accounted for more than 45% of the shares. After launching the Hong Kong stock listing process, after several rounds of financing, the shares in hand were diluted to the current situation.

"I listened to their proposal, they don't know how to create content, and they will speculate on concepts." Wang Wei still didn't forget to bury Ari.

According to the original space-time timeline, Ari will acquire Youku in 15, but Yuanyuan has made a lot of money in the film and television industry, allowing many Internet manufacturers to enter the film and television industry ahead of schedule.

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu'an asked, "Has the listing date of Tudou's Hong Kong stock market been set?" It is indeed too difficult to raise Tudou with Yuan Yuan's family alone, and the amount of money is not enough to invest in it.

Zhong Lifang said: "It's fixed, on June 6 next year, I'll find someone to figure it out, and it's time to open the business and collect money."

In the past two months, the industry has been quite uneven. In addition to Ali's acquisition of Youku, even 360 and Xiaomi have said they want to do film and television.

Is the threshold of the film and television industry so low?

"And their prices are higher than the other." Jiang Xuerou, who is in charge of remote content creation, said, "Almost all of our nine scriptwriting studios and the six scriptwriting groups of the Literature Department have received their invitations."

"How high can it be?" Even though the remote payment to screenwriters is not the highest in the industry, the remuneration is at the pyramid level.

The 26 people in the third screenwriting group who wrote "Lost in Thailand" took 6.8% of the film's share of the film, and they still gave priority to payment.

"They didn't disclose the specific amount, but they said, how much we give, they will directly triple it, not including bonuses."

"It's really rich." Cheng Yu'an couldn't help but sigh with emotion about the handicrafts of the Internet, "Is anyone changing jobs?"

"Money touches people's hearts. In the past few days, seven or eight of our screenwriters have left."

The theme of the meeting gradually went awry, Zhong Lifang smiled and said, "Even I have received offers from them."

Cheng Yu'an smiled, Zhong Lifang was poached by Cheng Yu'an and Cheng Lingfeng from the pony, and she also holds shares in Long-distance Media Group.

Zhong Lifang's salary as a professional manager is definitely the highest in the domestic film and television industry, and it may not be one of them.

The annual salary is 4700 million, plus dividends and bonuses, and I get 2 million a year with my eyes closed.

Just for facilitating the acquisition of Tudou, the company gave her a personal bonus of more than 3 million yuan.

I want to dig Zhong Lifang blindly.

Chen Zhixi couldn't dig any more, apart from the relationship between Cheng Yu'an and Qin Ranqiu, Qiushi Hotel Group, owned by Ranqiu's family, was the eighth largest shareholder of Long Distance Media.

Yuanqiu Golden Harvest Films is a joint venture between Yuanyuan and Qiushi Real Estate.

As the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, it is impossible for her to go to another house.

Zhong Lifang took the initiative to explain: "Ari wants me to be the chairman of Big Entertainment, with an annual salary of 1.3 million plus dividends."

"Excuse me—" Cheng Yu'an was really shocked, and joked, "Ask if they still need someone, how about I become the chairman of the board for them."
