Chapter 632 Dubai Vacation
Looking at the sea view outside the window, I felt relaxed and happy.

Ahead is the beach. There are many people on the beach at this time. Girls from all over the world are wearing bikinis, playing in the sea, or sunbathing on the beach. The picture is really eye-catching.

With a telescope, you can even see some breathtaking scenes.

Shaking his head, this is really a paradise for the rich, where you can enjoy all kinds of top-notch services.

Luxury cars, yachts, private jets, beautiful women.
Everything is available.

The propaganda in the Middle East is over.

Li Hao no longer needs to participate in publicity. Hu Ge is going to Nanyang to meet Jiang Wen and will promote in Nanyang for three days.

Li Hao is in Dubai for a few days of rest and vacation.

Then, Li Hao made a phone call.

During this period, taking advantage of the sharp rise in AMC's stock price, Li Hao quietly sold his shares and cashed out part of it.

All the AMC stocks in his hands are tradable shares.

At its peak, he held 3.9 million shares of AMC Cinemas shares, accounting for 97.5%.

There was no way. At that time, AMC Cinemas' stock price was as low as $2.

The market was generally not optimistic about it, so Li Hao naturally took the guesswork out of it.

After last summer, when the stock price began to rise sharply, he gradually took action.

In addition to this time, he still holds 2.8 million shares, accounting for 70%.

This ratio is still too high.

Li Hao's plan is to reduce the share price to 51% and become the controlling shareholder.

Even for the 51% shares, Li Hao carried out various diversifications.

To avoid being targeted by some people who want to use him to kill chickens and monkeys.

That's how Americans are, they always stay out of people's affairs.

I just hung up the phone and picked up my laptop to watch the news.

One piece of news dominated domestic news headlines. It was not that "Three-Body: Dark Forest" won the weekly box office championship again, but that Alibaba Pictures announced that Liu Cixin's science fiction novel "Supernova Era" has started filming.

Ever since Li Hao filmed "The Wandering Earth" and achieved super high box office, the original author of "The Wandering Earth", Liu, has become very popular, and he almost answered the phone with people wanting to buy the copyright!
The copyrights of Da Liu's other novels have been sold at high prices.

The film and television adaptation rights of the novel "The Age of Supernova" were sold early at no price.

Previously in 2019, "Supernova Era" held a launch symposium in Beijing, but there was no news later.

This time, the news about Alibaba Pictures is actually dominated by Alibaba Pictures, which spent a lot of money.The other party can say that with this copyright, Pingbai has made a lot of money.

"Supernova Era" will shoot a total of five movies to create a movie universe, with a total investment of 50 billion yuan, with an average investment of 10 billion yuan per film.

Li Hao shook his head. Alibaba Group, a big dog, is really rich. Before, they were complaining and laying off employees, but as a result, they invested heavily in film and television.

Even though last year's "Man Jiang Hong" was interrupted by Li Hao's manipulation, he still shamelessly continued to invest in film and television.

50 billion yuan, it sounds like 50 yuan.The director actually hired a famous Hollywood director to direct.

Li Hao smiled. In recent years, the mainland has not invited Hollywood directors to direct, but there is often a phenomenon of acclimatization.

If Chinese-language films are integrated, this is a question that many overseas directors who want to make a difference in Chinese-language films have to think about.

However, in science fiction movies, this phenomenon of acclimatization should be reduced a lot.

Subsequently, Tencent also announced the launch of "Ball Lightning". The film and television adaptation rights of this novel are in the hands of Beijing Ferris Wheel Culture Media. This time Tencent also hemorrhaged to obtain the film and television adaptation rights of the novel.

It is conceivable that with the success of "Three-Body: Dark Forest", countless film and television companies, investors, and directors have turned their attention to Chinese science fiction themes.

"It's a pity that Liu's copyright was sold too early!" Li Hao observed three seconds of silence for Liu.

Although Liu Zixin is said to have single-handedly brought Chinese science fiction to world-class heights.But the price of his copyright was quite cheap.

Firstly, it was sold early. At that time, Liu was not yet famous, and the concept of 'hot IP' had not yet become popular.

Furthermore, the subject matter is limited. Ten years ago, who would have believed that the Chinese film market could produce hard-core science fiction blockbusters?
When "The Martian" was being filmed, countless people were watching the show with gloating. Many people said privately that Li Hao was dazzled by success.

Even if "The Martian" is successful, when "The Wandering Earth" was launched, the industry was generally not optimistic.

The original "Crazy Alien" was claimed to be adapted from Liu Zixin's science fiction novel "Country Teacher". In fact, the connection between the two is not that big. It can only be said that it was inspired by it, and Liu Zixin was even embarrassed. The name of the signed screenwriter.

Li Hao, who has obtained the film and television adaptation rights, is quite conscientious. Although the fee is not high, he allowed Liu Zixin to serve as the screenwriter and gave him a sum of money as compensation.

Of course, since "The Wandering Earth" became popular, Liu's film and television adaptation rights have increased significantly, and the film and television adaptation rights of his two subsequent novels have been sold at high prices.

But now, it is not Liu who has the highest rights to adapt novels for film and television, but Li Hao's novels.

In the past few years, Li Hao has successively uploaded six science fiction novels, three novels and three novellas. Limited by the number of chapters and words, no one has won the championship in electronic subscriptions, but each one has sold well, and the number of novels has been very high. There are also many rewards.The sales of physical books are also quite good.

Many people wanted to buy these science fiction novels written by Li Hao at high prices, but Li Hao did not agree.

The only film that was filmed was "Galaxy Expedition", which was given to Lao Mouzi.

Li Hao also holds the title of screenwriter for "Galaxy Expedition".

After three days of vacation in Dubai, Li Hao returned to China and the plane landed at Xiangjiang Airport.

"Three-Body: Into the Dark" is still in theaters, with box office sales at home and abroad soaring, and has gained a good reputation in major film markets around the world.

Even in South Korea, although there are fierce voices, Korean audiences still vote with their honest bodies. "Three-Body: Dark Forest" topped the Korean box office this year, and is quickly widening the gap with No. 2.

And No. 2 is none other than "Dragon Snake"!
If last year, Korean movies were almost unable to survive, then this year it will be even worse.

So far, none of the Korean cinema movies have been announced to be filmed.

So much so that the media have said that Korean movies are finished!

Then, people discovered that Korean action movies are soaring. Last year, their output reached 60% of Japanese action movies. Such a surge rate leaves no doubt that its output will probably catch up this year and become the world's largest output. land.

In terms of categories, the two are often classified into Japanese and Korean options.

What’s even more bizarre is that the government is openly encouraging this industry and has set an ambitious goal, planning to increase annual output to 3 units in three years and market size to US$30 billion.
