Start with hooves

Many of the ideas in "Star Wars" appear to be wild and unconstrained.

However, due to the development of the times, some things now look a bit outdated.

For example, it is hard for Su Rui to imagine that after entering the interstellar era, people are still fighting with "cold weapons", not to mention destroying stars with one shot, etc. At the very least, they should be like Iron Man and play with a single weapon. A. Human body modification and the like, arming oneself with cutting-edge technology, are in line with the needs of intelligent creatures for their own safety.

In early wars, soldiers on both sides needed to be in close contact. In modern times, the battlefield has shown a trend of becoming farther and farther away. It is focused on using long-range weapons to attack enemies outside the visual range, such as artillery, missiles, drones, etc. It's much more efficient than hand-to-hand combat.

After entering the interstellar era, I believe that long-range weapons will be very terrifying, and the strength of individual soldiers will also be greatly enhanced. However, in "Star Wars", it feels a bit like children's play house.

The new version of "Star Trek" released two years ago appears to be relatively new and fashionable.

The extremely realistic visual effects give the audience an unprecedented enjoyment in the dreamlike virtual world, and revitalizes a once-over-the-top theme.

In Suri's view, if the rights to "Star Wars" are successfully acquired, some settings will need to be significantly changed.

Of course.

At this time, George Lucas, the founder of the Star Wars series, was sitting opposite Suri. He would not be stupid enough to say to his face, "You have passed your time. The future should be left to us young people."

Once Lucasfilm is truly annexed and all the copyrights are obtained, Suri will not be able to do whatever he wants.

As long as the story is attractive enough, I believe even die-hard Star Wars fans will choose to be tolerant and accepting.

With the global influence of the Star Wars series, there is no chance that it will compete with Marvel Studios in the next ten years. In its grand universe series, there are so many peripheral side stories that can be filmed. There is potential to be explored.

If you look at the dramas such as "Passengers", "Interstellar", "The Wandering Earth" and "The Three-Body Problem" planned by Daju Pictures, you will know that Suri has always been interested in interstellar themes, and science fiction dramas have been filmed. The box office is easily much higher than other genres, and horror films are more likely to make big gains with small gains and create box office dark horses.

Until now.

The highest-grossing film under Daju Film Company is still the first "Death" starring Daddario, and the highest-grossing one is "The Ex" starring Suri. It can still provide some box office to this day, but the film schedule The volume is already very low.

When it is completely offline, the digital broadcast rights of "The Ex" will be sold to Netflix Entertainment for US$2000 million, and at the same time, they will enjoy a certain amount of paid on-demand revenue.
Also chatting in director George Lucas’ restaurant.

Suri ordered a fruity charcoal-grilled beef tongue. After tasting it, he found that there was some cumin powder sprinkled on the surface, which made it taste better than expected.

Director Lucas's fiancée suddenly asked:
"Actually, I have been to Huaxia many times for work. Many of the dishes there are delicious, such as braised pork, beggar's chicken, and mutton skewers. They are all my favorites. I saw the news on the Internet some time ago, which said Because of the movie you starred in, many young people have tried to go to Chinese restaurants recently, wanting to taste some authentic Chinese food on the hidden menu, and many restaurants in Chinatown are doing booming business. "

Su Rui laughed dumbly:

"Yes, there is also the Chinese Food Association, so they sent me a gift, which is a rice bowl and chopsticks made of pure gold, which symbolizes a great meaning."

George Lucas wiped his mouth and said with emotion:
"I know that China has suffered disasters in modern times, and many European museums still store exquisite cultural relics, but they robbed everything but the recipes. I lived in the UK for half a year, and whenever the housekeeper didn't know what to do, Make me fish and chips no matter what kind of dishes are arranged. Even without exercise, I have lost 11 pounds, which is very good for my health.”

Suri couldn't answer this. To understand it from another perspective, he has obviously stolen so many treasures and wealth, but he still cares about the recipes. From this point of view, Director Lucas is the real thief.

The practice of robbing traditional cultural heritage is sometimes more hateful than robbing money. This is why Suri resents a certain "most powerful country in the universe".

Director George Lucas went on to say:
"In fact, compared to Disney and Time Warner, I am more optimistic about your strength. You have the magical power to turn stories into exciting ones. However, the management of those big companies are stiff-minded and never dare to take risks easily. Just like Disney's works, it seems Always use the same template, and maybe selling the company to you is the right choice.”

This is a fact and there is no need to be too modest.

Suri replied:
"Before going out tonight, several board members of Netflix Entertainment and I held an impromptu online meeting, and the result was that the maximum bid was US$36 billion."

"As an Internet company that has just been established a few years ago, we have limited funds. This is the result that I strive for, while other shareholders prefer to invest their funds in the development of mobile terminal equipment and continue to expand the global market."

"But I am confident that I will not mess up your hard work. Maybe in just a few months, you will be able to see the "Star Wars" derivative web series that costs tens of millions of dollars per episode and is created with huge sums of money. And Disney, Shareholders of companies like Time Warner simply want to use your influence to drive up their company’s stock price.”

"Honestly, I don't care about many things anymore. I already have everything I want in terms of material things. I just enjoy the process of creating wonderful movies and TV series."

The quoted price of US$36 billion is slightly higher than that of Time Warner Group and almost the same as that of Disney Group.

Honestly.

Director George Lucas is already very satisfied with this offer.

After all, the last time Lucasfilm released a movie was in 2005. Since "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith," his company has been resting on its laurels, making money by renting DVDs, licensing games, and selling peripheral products.

Although he also thought about continuing to shoot some sequels, spin-offs, etc., George Lucas was getting older and his passion had long since faded. Rather than continuing to embark on an adventurous journey, he was more worried about missing the mark and screwing up in old age. The golden signature of Star Wars.

If the box office flops, buyers will probably have to think twice, let alone US$36 billion, even if it is US$26 billion.

After listening and tasting the wine, Director Lucas said: "You should like the number 8 very much. It is very auspicious. How about 38 billion US dollars?"

".8 is indeed auspicious, but 38 also means swearing in Chinese. 6 is very good, and 66 is a good luck."

Su Rui just finished speaking.

Director Lucas immediately stretched out his hand: "Two 6's are not bad, 36.6 billion US dollars, I should be able to accept this price."

"???"
