China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 66 65. This Blizzard Is Too Dark
Two days later, the two boarded a direct flight from Yangcheng to Los Angeles with a negotiating and learning team.

"When I got on the plane, I saw that you were busy all the time. What are you writing?"

In the business class, Cao Yu's computer kept crackling, which made Lu Huateng very strange.

Cao Yu said as he typed: "I forgot something before, and I just can't sleep now, so I sorted out this thing, and this time I went to the United States, it might be useful."

Lu Huateng leaned over curiously, took a look, and asked, "Avatar? What is this?"

Cao Yu said with a smile: "A kind of alien with long ears. This is a movie script. It's not easy for us to come to the United States. Let's make a script by the way and find someone to co-produce."

I have watched the movie "Avatar" twice in theaters and several times on the computer, and I am very familiar with it.

However, it is not self-deprecating to want to make such a movie with amazing visual effects in China. Even in another ten years, it may not be possible.

Now I can only try to find James, talk about cooperation, and strive for a gorgeous co-production, so that I can also earn money from foreign devils.

Although he knows the script of "Avatar", James has already written it, but haven't you filmed it yet?

I wrote it, and it is not plagiarism.

"Science fiction? Brother, you are amazing, what else do you know?" Lu Huateng praised the alien sincerely.

"What? Are you tempted? How about investing [-] to [-] million? Earn money together, don't say I didn't pull you when the time comes."

Cao Yu chuckled, anyway, the investment in this movie is huge, and his company has a little wealth, so if he wants to invest, he probably will have to mortgage the shares of Jingdong or Penguin by then.

However, with nearly ten times the box office, future earnings will also be leveraged.

"Three hundred and fifty million?"

Lu Huateng's head was buzzing. Penguin's current situation is good, but it hasn't been listed yet. Three to five billion?which movie is this?
Shaking his head with a wry smile, he said, "Forget it, I don't understand the entertainment industry, but if you are short of money, I can help you, but it won't be too much."

"It's enough to have this sentence."

Cao Yu patted Lao Lu on the shoulder, not reluctantly.

The script outline was finished quickly, but the plane was still in the Pacific Ocean. When he was bored, Cao Yu wrote another movie script and asked the translator who followed him to translate the general plot of "Avatar" into English and attach it to the back of the script. Also drew a picture of the image of Avatar.

"I heard that Blizzard's parent company also has Universal Pictures. If something happens to "Avatar", the investment in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is less than [-] million US dollars, and the box office is more than [-] million. It should be good."

The last time he bought a domain name by himself, Cao Yu spent tens of thousands of dollars more. Therefore, he wanted to use a few scripts to harvest the leeks of the American people.

As for other movies with good box office, you have to eat the meat one bite at a time, and take your time.

Because in another year or two, the Avatar project will be established, and now is the right time to start.

After the script was written, the plane landed at Los Angeles Airport, and the group went straight to Blizzard's headquarters in Irvine, California.

"The seaside city here, the air is really good, but it's not sweet?"

Standing downstairs in Blizzard, Cao Yu let out a cold snort.

"How can the air be sweet?"

Lu Huateng didn't understand, wondering why Cao Yu said this.

"fine."

After finishing speaking, several people walked into the small building full of game atmosphere.

Explaining the purpose of coming, the reception staff was very enthusiastic, and directly welcomed Cao Yu and his party into the reception room.

The entire company is full of promotional pictures of games that Cao Yu is familiar with, such as "StarCraft" and "Diablo".

Because Lao Lu claimed to be the CEO of Huaxia No. [-] Network Company, Blizzard's vice president Frank received the team from the East.

"Which of our games are you more interested in?"

Frank is well aware of the market in the big eastern country, and he has produced a lot of materials, preparing to introduce them.

"These are not interested, we want to represent online games."

The character of a Westerner does not like politeness, so Cao Yu also directly explained his purpose of coming.

"Online games?"

Frank froze for a moment, then was a little surprised.

Although the online game "World of Warcraft" developed by the company has been secretly developed for several years, but just announced the development plan, did the Huaxia company hear the news?

"That's right, it's an online game."

Cao Yu nodded, online games are the future trend.

"We have!"

Frank immediately took out the information of "World of Warcraft" and began to introduce it.

Can he not pay attention to opening up the market for this long-developed game in China?

Make money, not shabby.

"I'm not good at negotiating, Laolu, I'll leave it to you."

Cao Yu is still self-aware, and he can refer to the suggestions and negotiate the specifics, and hand them over to Lu Huateng and Penguin's team.

The two sides fought with each other, and Lu Huateng frowned almost the whole time.

Cao Yu can only understand some numbers, but the numbers are astonishing. They are all a few or even a dozen words worth a million dollars. No wonder Lao Lu is like this.

After silently reading various game materials for a long time, the negotiation between the two parties finally came to an end.

"Brother, this transaction is a bit risky."

When Lu Huateng expressed his thoughts, it seemed that he didn't want to take the risk.

"How much do they want?"

"The license fee for the copyright is 300 million US dollars, and they have to pay 680 million US dollars for development and 1300 US dollars for promotion and sales."

"Black, really black!"

Although Cao Yu knew that this game was very profitable, he couldn't help but frowned when he heard these figures.

But he still asked: "How much is the share?"

"Brother 22%, the initial investment is so much, it's not worth it. With so much money, we can develop several small games ourselves according to your plan."

Lu Huateng even wanted to leave.

"Damn, these foreign devils, vampires!"

Cao Yu scolded, thinking why he was reborn a few years earlier, so that he could seize the opportunity to develop this monster, and then let you foreign devils come and buy our copyright.

But think about it, even if it is reborn early, does this technology exist in China?

Although this business is definitely not a loss, otherwise NetEase and Ninetowns would not spend so much money to win this.

After thinking about it, he got up straight away and said, "Let's go!"

"call"

Lu Huateng breathed a sigh of relief.

Just two steps away, Cao Yu turned his head and said to the translator: "Tell him, just say that the price is too high. There are not many Huaxia who are willing to be taken advantage of. One year later, they will lose hundreds of millions of dollars. Let them think for themselves." Think about it."

Sure enough, when the translator said this to Frank, the foreign devil immediately stopped the group.

They are all businessmen, and he also knows very well that what this young man said is correct, if he goes online in China one year later, the loss will indeed be huge.

"Mr. Frank, what's the matter?"

Cao Yu turned his head and said deliberately: "Your quotation is too high, and the risk is too great."

"Look at our game first!"

Frank is also an old fox, so he didn't continue to negotiate the price immediately, but directly invited Cao Yu and Lu Huateng to a room and turned on the computer.

The World of Warcraft interface appears on the computer.

"I played pandaren before I was reborn."

Looking at the familiar scene and game interface, Cao Yu just laughed in his heart, and suddenly a thought popped up in his mind.

"The IP of Kung Fu Panda, is there any trick?"
