Light and shadow player

During the production of the first part of "Kung Fu Panda", DreamWorks Animation had no money and asked Cheng Yu'an to fight the autumn wind.

Cheng Yu'an opened his mouth and asked for 35% of the investment share of "Kung Fu Panda" and 30% of the copyright of the entire series.

In the same year, Katzenberg and Cheng Yu'an signed a priority investment agreement with DreamWorks Animation for 10 films, with a minimum of 6 million US dollars.

Although Cheng Yu'an has no shares in DreamWorks Animation, he has been the most important investor and partner of DreamWorks Animation for 10 years.

At the end of last year, DreamWorks Animation was in financial crisis. Katzenberg approached Cheng Yuan, hoping that the two parties would continue to deepen cooperation. Katzenberg tried to persuade Cheng Yuan to agree to a major film company to exchange shares with DreamWorks Animation, but Cheng Yuan refused.

What Cheng Yu'an didn't know was that DreamWorks Animation was on the verge of bankruptcy at that time. Yes, DreamWorks Animation still had profitable movies, but his existing funds could no longer support his normal operation.

Even with Cheng Yu'an's investment of no less than 6000 million US dollars per film, Katzenberg could not take the ship of DreamWorks Animation any further.

In addition, Cheng Yu'an has his own animation label, and it's doing a good job, so he doesn't care about DreamWorks Animation. If it weren't for the investment agreement, he would have to invest the money and it couldn't be transferred. Cheng Yu'an Get off early.

Up to this year, apart from the "Kung Fu Panda" series, Cheng Yu'an has invested in a total of six DreamWorks animation films in the past 10 years. The most recent two investments are "How to Train Your Dragon 3" and "Crazy Primitives 2".

As soon as Comcast announced the acquisition of DreamWorks Animation, Cheng Yu'an's personal investment and financial management team immediately received inquiries from Universal, hoping to buy out the preferential investment agreement.

The invested films have become a fait accompli, Universal will no longer interfere, and Cheng Yu’an will still receive the established investment income of these films, and Universal plans to buy back the priority investment rights of the next four films at a price of US$4 million.

Cheng Yuan authorized his own financial advisor. The price was too low, less than 2 million US dollars, and Cheng Yuan would not even consider selling this agreement.

According to the acquisition plan, even if Universal acquires DreamWorks Animation wholly, DreamWorks Animation will still maintain its independent operation, and Universal has no right to interrupt the 10-year investment partnership between Cheng Yu'an and DreamWorks.

In other words, as long as Cheng Yu'an didn't want to sell it, even if Universal wanted to buy it, he couldn't buy it.

However, due to the harsh agreement, Cheng Yuan's investment rights cannot be transferred or distributed, and can only be bought back by DreamWorks Animation.

Cheng Yu'an wanted to get out of the car, because DreamWorks Animation had run out of money to squeeze out; Comcast also didn't want to see an Oriental lying on DreamWorks Animation and suck blood, and was determined to buy back this investment agreement.

The two parties are negotiating the price.

Ordinary audiences don't know the relationship between Cheng Yu'an and DreamWorks Animation, but everyone in the industry knows about it.

Analysts in the film and television industry have begun to estimate and predict Cheng Yu’an’s investment in DreamWorks Animation over the past 10 years and the profits he will get from this acquisition.

It’s not that I don’t know, but it’s a surprise that the three “Kung Fu Panda” alone have brought Cheng Yu’an more than 10 billion US dollars in revenue, including box office revenue and 30% of the global full copyright and omni-channel revenue.

According to preliminary estimates, the "Kung Fu Panda" series will also bring Cheng Yu'an a minimum of 2000 million US dollars in revenue every year.

"Why is his vision so accurate, it can be shot by him."

"Boldly eat meat. Back then Katzenberg tricked investors all over the world. He was the only one who dared to invest. If he doesn't make money, whoever makes money will make money."

There are many rich people in the world, but there are not many like Cheng Yu'an who dared to fight against everyone's opposition when DreamWorks Animation was at a low point in 05.

Everyone wants to buy the bottom, and no one dares to say that what they copy must be the bottom.

And Cheng Yu'an doesn't care about the outside world's discussion—in fact, there is not much discussion, and the main industry is concerned about this matter.

I still concentrate on filming in the crew.

After staying up for several nights, I still didn't finish filming the scene of Wu Jing leaving the warehouse, but I shot a lot of other scenes.

Cheng Yu'an didn't have dinner with the actors during the crew's break at noon.

Instead, he opened a small kitchen with Wu Jing and went to the hotel to have a big meal.

There are guests.

Yu Qian came to visit the class.

"Master," Yu Qian explained to the young man next to him in the private room, "Relax, the people of Yu'an are very nice and have no airs. Speaking of which, he still has friendship with us. His grandfather learned cross talk seriously before liberation. But during the war at that time, the master died within two years of learning, and the apprentices dispersed before he could set up his branches, and there was no way to verify the master's sect."

The guy brought by Yu Qian was Guo Dalin, the leader of the young class. Guo Dalin said, "That's Haiqing."

"Young master, you are stupid. Haiqing is not important to Haiqing. They don't do this business anymore."

"During [-] or [-], the Deyun Club couldn't open the door. Yu'an won our show for a month, and sent fruit baskets and flower baskets when he came back. Your father and I will remember this love."

At that time, Guo Dalin was still young, and his master and father would not tell him these things.

Cheng Yu'an and Wu Jing arrived a little later, and as soon as they came in, Yu Qian raised his teacher and questioned him: "Man, you are not real."

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "I didn't do anything, and when you came here, you said I was not authentic, what did I do, and I was not authentic?"

"The 20th anniversary celebration, why didn't you come?" Yu Qian said with a smile.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Deyun Club. On April 4, Deyun Club invited friends and held a grand celebration. Many people in the entertainment industry went.

They also sent a post to Cheng Yu'an and left a ticket, but the couple were busy filming, so they only sent a flower basket to express their congratulations, and they didn't go there.

"Isn't this busy, 30 years, I will definitely be there in 30 years." Cheng Yu'an opened his mouth to celebrate the 30th year.

"Hey, if you talk about what's in front of you, you're talking about 10 years later."

"Who is this?" Cheng Yu'an asked knowingly, and cited Yu Qian as an introduction.

"Da Lin, son of Degang,"

"Uncle Cheng." Guo Dalin greeted.

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "I don't like to talk about cross talk with you bastards. I was called uncle by Yue Yunpeng and his group when I was 20, and they all called me old."

Yu Qian asked Cheng Yu'an to take a seat: "Friendship is here. Let's talk about you being 20. Even if you are 12, he still has to call you uncle."

The host and guest are seated, and the food is served.

"I have to film in the afternoon, so I won't drink it. I'll drink it when I return to the capital after filming."

Deyunshe and Cheng Yu'an are closest to Qian, while Guo Degang is closest to Ranqiu.

Qin Ranqiu facilitated some of the cooperation between Remote and Deyun Society.

Including "Happy Comedian" invited Guo Degang to be the host, and it was also related to Qin Ranqiu.

Cheng Yu'an knew that the purpose of Yu Qian's trip was nothing more than to bring his apprentice Da Lin to recognize him.

Cheng Yu'an is willing to support the younger generation, but for some reason, he is a little uncomfortable with Guo Dalin's behavior.

It's not that he behaved badly, but that he was great!
The mellowness of the 20-year-old boy at the dinner table, the ease with which he speaks and the thoughtful way he handles things, makes people feel very awkward.

This child is too precocious!
I don't have the impulsiveness and nonsense that should be at this age.

Yu Qian wanted to pave the way for his apprentice in the film and television industry, but those in the film and television industry are not afraid that you will cause trouble, but that you have no personality.

Guo Dalin's personality has been worn down by his family and the education he received since he was a child.

After everyone had dinner, Cheng Yu'an took Yu Qian and his apprentice to visit the set, and then sent them back.

On the way back, the transparent Yu Qian clearly felt Cheng Yu'an's attitude towards Guo Dalin.

I don't like it, but I don't hate it either. I don't love talents, but it's okay to help.

Yu Qian said earnestly to his apprentice, "Do well, young master. I have your food."
