I became popular on the stage

Chapter 679 The Avengers, there is hope! (seeking subscription)
A series of big moves in the second world almost caught the industry by surprise.

Before this, many people felt that in the international arena, the second world was supported by Lin Xuan alone. For example, the entertainment industries such as music and movies were all produced by him alone. Because of this, people in the industry felt that The Second World does not have much international competitiveness.

After all, a single tree is hard to support.

Any stable large company must have its own system of business mechanisms and profit points, and it is impossible to pin the profits of all businesses on one person.

Who would have thought that Second World would suddenly launch several explosive games and Transformers IP.

The IP value of Transformers has not yet been reflected.However, the income of several games is really displayed in front of everyone. According to their popularity, the second world is only in the game, and the monthly income will reach 200 billion in the future!The profit is as high as 50 billion or so.

With a monthly profit of 50 billion, a year's income is [-] billion.

For example, the market value of Facebook is 3700 billion U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to 2.6 trillion Chinese dollars.And for such a behemoth, its annual net profit is less than 500 billion Chinese dollars.

So it is equivalent to: If the second world can stabilize the game revenue, then the game industry alone may cause the market value of the second world to soar to more than 3 trillion Chinese dollars!

More than a trillion!

In the previous life, Penguin’s market value had soared to 7 trillion Chinese dollars at the highest, and such a high market value, almost 5 trillion was supported by the game market, and the combined market value of WeChat, QQ and many other businesses was less than 2 trillion.From here, we can see how big the game market is.

……

Second World Headquarters.

Ma Bin's heart was trembling. He had already guessed that the four games that Lin Xuan spent huge sums of money to create were unusual, but he never thought that they would become so popular.

He came to Lin Xuan's office: "Boss Lin, I would like to ask, will the company continue to produce other games?"

Generally speaking, the number of games owned by a game company is basically calculated in the hundreds or even thousands, while Second World currently only has five games, which is too monotonous.

Lin Xuan nodded: "Of course we must continue. The game must be vigorously developed. But I will not intervene for the time being. In the future, the game department will find a way, whether it is planning by itself, buying from outside, or operating through an agency. Okay, we must break through one hundred games under Second World within one year. Casual, puzzle, chess and card games, stand-alone games, online games... and so on are all included."

Why is Penguin's game dominant?
It is because there are too many games on it, and any player can find their favorite genre on the Penguin game platform. Over time, players are too lazy to go to other game platforms.

What Lin Xuan has to do is to build the game department of Second World into a large self-contained platform similar to Penguin Games.

If it can be done one day.

He believes that Second World can definitely occupy half of the global game industry.

After all, there are still many games in my mind that I haven't brought out, such as: "League of Legends", "Cross Fire", "DNF", "My World"... There are too many, all of which are classics.

of course.

Games are only a small part.

After talking about the game, Ma Bin continued: "Mr. Lin, most of the IPs of "Transformers" have officially entered the operation stage, and the progress is quite good so far. But there is still the most important one. Item: The filming of "Transformers 2". Because the box office and word-of-mouth of the first "Transformers" were quite good, it set off a wave of mechs all over the world, and there are a large number of die-hard fans of mechas, so everyone is in Looking forward to the second movie. I came today just to ask, do you have any plans for the second movie?"

Thinking appeared on Lin Xuan's face.

It has been a year and a half since "Transformers" was released.

It was indeed a long time.

However, "Transformers 2" has not been released for a long time. There are several reasons: First, it is because of the delay in the time due to the bet between myself and the Hollywood director.Second, after the filming of "Titanic", the funds were insufficient, and it was difficult to start the second filming.

But now, the matter of "Titanic" has come to an end. Although the box office revenue has not yet arrived, because the game revenue of "Original God" and "Glory of the King" are almost instantly entered into the company's account, so the second The world's accounts have once again become abundant.

There is time.

Funding is available.

Time to film Transformers 2, too.

"Well, let's do this... You let the company prepare 2-2.5 million US dollars of funds. Forget it, you don't need so much, just prepare 1.5 million US dollars, and the rest will attract foreign investment when the time comes, and you will also get some benefits for other companies. When the funds are ready, I can start filming on my side."

Lin Xuan exhorted.

"Okay." Ma Bin nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mr. Lin, although Second World has developed the game industry and the IP industry of "Transformers" internationally. However, the Second World Film Company now only has Isn't it too thin for you to shoot a movie by yourself?"

Now the Second World Film Company has enough post-production personnel.But apart from him, there is no director, no screenwriter, no planner, no producer. This is an extremely unhealthy structure.

Once Lin Xuan falls, the company will face bankruptcy.

But Lin Xuan is also quite helpless. Before his bet with Hollywood directors is finally won, the Hollywood Directors Union may not easily allow him to recruit personnel to expand the company's team.

So now, he can only resist alone.

Just when he was about to say something.

suddenly.

Ring ring ring ~~~ The phone rings.

Lin Xuan glanced at the incoming call and answered the call: "Mr. Huang?"

The call came from Huang Ming, the person in charge of Second World who was far away in North America.

Today's Huang Ming can be said to be in high spirits, his voice is a few decibels higher, revealing a strong confidence.After several years of ups and downs in North America, he finally came to the day when he could feel proud.

As the person in charge of the Second World around the world, Huang Ming had always lived in Big Cat's territory before, and his identity was also in a very awkward position.When soliciting business from outsiders, he looks down on people with low status, and the other party looks down on him on people with high status.

But now, the Second World has suddenly opened up the situation internationally, and his status has suddenly risen, becoming one of the top giants in the business world, and his glory is boundless.

Huang Ming smiled and said, "Boss Lin, I received someone with a special status just now, guess who it is?"

"Oh?"

Lin Xuan blinked: "Who?"

Huang Ming said, "Langman."

Lin Xuan was surprised: "Langman?"

Huang Ming said: "Yes, this morning, Langman found me alone, saying that he wanted to talk to you."

Lin Xuan frowned: "What did he talk to me about? Is he still going to fight with me?"

He knew the character of the old man Langman, who was too stubborn and stubborn.At the beginning, I clearly told Langman not to match up with my movie, but the other party didn't believe in evil, so he had to come to suppress him.Afterwards, the movie hit the street, the capital pursued the responsibility, a dignified Hollywood director, I heard that now he has been reduced to the point of selling his house to pay off his debts.

Huang Ming coughed: "No, I asked Longman. The other party seems to want to join the second world."

"what?"

Lin Xuan's brain roared, and he suddenly stood up.

Huang Mingdao: "Langman said that he is already heavily in debt, and because his two films failed miserably at the box office, the first film may only be regarded as bad luck, but the second film caused investors to lose money due to his own reasons." He suffered a lot, so his reputation in the film industry has been discredited, and he has almost no capital to find him to direct films. If this continues, he may have to leave the directing circle. That's why Longman found me. He said that he could not do without the film industry, and he hoped You can put him aside and let him join the Second World. In return, he is willing to direct you a movie for free to prove his ability. If you are not satisfied with his directing level, you can also fire him at that time. "

Lin Xuan's expression became complicated.

He didn't expect that Langman would be reduced to this point.

Haven't spoken yet.

Huang Ming continued: "Boss Lin, Langman is still waiting for my reply in the living room. If you think it's inappropriate, I'll reject him right now."

Lin Xuan changed his mind: "No! You don't have to refuse... You let him come to China and tell him that I am waiting for him in the second world."

Huang Ming was taken aback: "You are going to agree to Langman's request."

Lin Xuan nodded: "Almost."

In Lin Xuan's view, it might be a good thing if Langman can join the Second World.There is no way, because the current second world is too short of people, especially the top directors, and there is no one except myself.Although Longman suffered setbacks at the box office of both films, the failure of the other party was not due to lack of ability, but because of encountering himself.In terms of ability, Lin Xuan is sure that Longman is still the top director in the world, no less than legendary directors such as Gustav, Jais, and Pete.

Therefore, if Longman can be recruited, then the strength of Second World Films will be greatly enhanced.

Of course, in the early stage, Longman really joined the Second World.

But even if the other party has other goals, Lin Xuan is not afraid.

The next day.

Lin Xuan then received Lang Man who had come all the way from the headquarters of the Shanghai Metropolis.

Langman, who was full of travel and dust, came to meet him as soon as he got off the plane.

Looking at the old man with gray hair, haggard figure and dull eyes, Lin Xuan couldn't believe that the other party was the high-spirited, arrogant and confident Hollywood director a year ago.

"You...why are you like this?"

Lin Xuan couldn't believe it.

Langman's voice was low: "Mr. Lin, you are laughing at me. I caused some capitals in North America and Western Europe to lose hundreds of millions of dollars. How could they let me go? You are capital yourself, and you should know the power of capital. Although I I have some reputation, but I am nothing in front of the capital. They forced me to almost nowhere. I searched all the film companies in Hollywood, but no one stood up for me, so I can only come to you. Misunderstood, but I think Mr. Lin is the only one who can save me. If you want me to join the Second World, I will not let you down. And I believe that you will let me join."

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Oh? How can you see that?"

Langman said seriously: "First of all, you are already against all the capital in Hollywood, so my joining your company will not cause you any trouble, but will only enhance your strength. Secondly, I think your second world When the film company is short of people, I can meet your company's requirements. Again, you are willing to let me come to China to meet you, which shows your attitude to a certain extent, otherwise you would not even give me the chance to meet. "

interesting.

Lin Xuan looked at the old man in front of him with admiration in his eyes.

It seems that although the other party looks very haggard, his mind is still flexible.

Lin Xuan said: "But you should know that I have had a lot of trouble with you, how can you make me trust you?"

Langman immediately said: "This is easy to handle. I know you will not believe me in the early stage. So I can let my wife and daughters all come to China to settle down as your hostages... I love my daughters the most, and I miss them. Settling down should be enough for me to gain your confidence."

hostage……

Lin Xuan didn't expect the old man to say such an idea.

However, he was almost certain in his heart that Longman probably joined the Second World sincerely.

After thinking about it, Lin Xuan suddenly asked: "Mr. Langman, do you have friends in other film circles? You were right just now, the second world is very short of people now..."

The voice did not fall.

Langman immediately said: "Mr. Lin, don't worry about this. I have been in Hollywood for more than [-] years. Although I have been squeezed out by capital, my friends have already spread all over Hollywood. They include directors, producers, drama managers, screenwriters, Producers, and even a lot of well-known actors, I can try my best to invite them to join the second world.

I can't vouch for others.

But what is certain is that I can definitely pull the four of Byron, Dahl, Flix, and Cliff into the second world lineup. "

"Really?"

Lin Xuan's expression finally couldn't keep calm, and his eyes lit up.

Because the four people Langman mentioned, although not as famous as Langman, each of them is a senior director.After Lin Xuan entered Hollywood, he studied the qualifications of all directors.It can be said that the strength of these four cannot be underestimated. Perhaps they only need to give each other a chance to soar into the sky.

Langman nodded vigorously: "Of course it's true, the four of them are my true friends. And they haven't signed to any other film company, and they are all free agents at present."

In Hollywood, and even around the world.Many directors basically go it alone.After they receive a suitable script, they will go to the film company to invest and ask the other party to provide resources, while the director himself is only responsible for the filming.After all, even the top directors cannot afford the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in blockbuster films.

Moreover, many directors are unwilling to be bound by company contracts, so a special cooperative relationship between directors and film companies has been formed.

In China, major directors such as Qin Wen and Liu Ji are free agents.

Langman said: "Of course it is true, but I need Mr. Lin to assure them that after they enter the second world, you can come up with one or two good scripts for them to direct. Because they are willing to join the second world, It's for your reputation."

Lin Xuan was emotional: "Mr. Langman, go and tell Byron and Dahl that as long as they are willing to join the Second World, within five years, I will give each of them a script that is not weaker than "Transformers" .”

This time, it was Longman's turn to be shocked.

The big Hollywood director was stunned for a while, and suddenly he was shocked: "Then... what about me?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "You have it too!"

"I...I...I..."

Langman's body was trembling, and he tremblingly said after a while: "Mr. Lin, I assure you, within three days, within three days, I will have Byron and the others come to China to report for you!"

God!

Everyone give a script that is not weaker than "Transformers"?

Even Longman, who has directed several popular global fantasy blockbusters, almost screamed out of excitement when he heard the news.

What is a director most eager to see?
Not much investment.

Not a good actor.

It's a script!

Good scripts are rare, and even many truly capable directors find it hard to find a good script in their lifetime.No matter how little the investment is, it can be made up, and no matter how bad the actors are, they can teach, but if the script is not good, it is tantamount to a clever woman who cannot cook without rice, and there is no way at all.

Langman tried his best to take a deep breath, then said goodbye and rushed out of the room in a hurry, taking out the phone while running.Obviously, he went to call his good friend.

Looking at the back of Langman leaving excitedly.

Lin Xuan also clenched his fists fiercely. Compared with Langman's excitement, he was also very excited inside.

"My reunion, there is hope..."

Lin Xuan wanted to laugh.

　I have something to do today, so it's a little short...
