China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 500: State of Mind and "Inception" [-in-]

Xiong Xiaoge definitely couldn't do the work of drafting the equity transfer agreement himself, it was all done by the secretary.

While the secretary was drafting, Xiong Xiaoge invited Sun Yi to participate in activities together.

Sun Yi was a little confused.

Xiong Xiaoge's office is indeed not small. It is located on the top floor of the building and has a wide view. But when it comes to activities, Sun Yi still doesn't quite understand.

Could it be possible to go to the roof to get some fresh air?

Xiong Xiaoge laughed, patted Sun Yi on the shoulder, and said loudly:

"Here, let me give you a try. This is the latest product I just brought back from the United States. It's first-rate."

Sun Yi was stunned.

Usually this kind of line is used in gangster movies and attracts a lot of fans.

But Xiong Xiaoge definitely can't do this. He can only make a few money by gaining fans, but he can't make as much by investing in stocks.

You can "rob" reasonably and legally.

Sun Yi put aside the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.

Make money, not shabby.

Besides, from now on, he is also a person who plays with capital.

Rather than simply being respectful, he followed Xiong Xiaoge out of the office area.

When you turn a corner, you will find a different world.

A small hall about six or seven meters wide is covered with artificial turf and is completely green.

There is a small railing in the middle of the turf, dividing the entire space. There is a platform about three meters and 20 centimeters high on each side, which is also wrapped in turf. There is also a row of small squares marked with various graphics on one side of the platform. , I don’t know what it means specifically.

There is a projector hanging from the ceiling above the platform, a curtain hanging on the opposite side, and a row of probe-like things inserted into the walls on the left and right sides.

Looking at the entire space, there should be two devices.

However, Sun Yi really didn't see what it was for.

Indoor football?

Xiong Xiaoge walked to the cabinet on one side, opened it, and gestured to Sun Yi: "Come on, Brother Sun, choose one."

Sun Yi walked over and took a look.

Oh~

Although I have never played it, I recognize it, a row of golf clubs.

These are two sets of indoor golf equipment.

"Have you ever played it? Do you want to give it a try?" Xiong Xiaoge chose a wooden pole and invited Sun Yi with a smile on his face.

What can I say about this thing? I have definitely never played it in my life.

I have played with friends a few times in my previous life, and I can probably master the basic moves. I can't say that I am proficient, but I can't be said to be a beginner.

However, at that time, I felt that this thing was quite boring. If I had the time, I might as well go to K-pop and play more confrontational games.

However, Sun Yi certainly cannot refuse Xiong Xiaoge's invitation.

After unscrewing the sleeves of his shirt to expose his forearms, Sun Yi also chose a wooden pole. He clasped his hands over each other, shook his shoulders, and waved it twice on the spot to get a feel for it.

"Well, that's good. There's nothing wrong with your posture. Let's play two strokes together."

Xiong Xiaoge stood on the platform on the right and gently pressed the small square on the platform with a pole.

The projector and screen all lit up, and then a golf ball automatically rose from the small round hole in the center of the platform.

It turns out that this thing on the platform is a control button, a set of fully automatic equipment.

Sun Yi stood on the platform, stood still with his right foot, adjusted his left foot, pulled the club back, took two previews of the ball, and swung decisively.

Whoosh.

I wipe it!

The ball remained motionless, hitting nothing.

Sun Yi's face turned red.

The ordinary Xiong Xiaoge smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, let's get to know each other a little more."

As Xiong Xiaoge said this, he stood up in position, held the club in his hand, and began to aim.

"It is said that golf is the second most difficult sport in the world compared to F1 racing. I think it is right. This golf looks very simple, but it is not. Although it is so quiet, its whole body is moving. "

Before he finished speaking, Xiong Xiaoge made a standard downswing.

With a bang, the ball was hit straight away, hit the curtain and fell. Then the computer simulated trajectory continued to be displayed on the curtain, along with ball speed, height and other data.

It's a straight shot.

Xiong Xiaoge looked at the screen, kept swinging, and continued: "I think the charm of this sport is that it is a sport that you play with yourself. Every time you try to challenge yourself, surpass yourself, and hit a hit." A good shot brings a great sense of accomplishment.”

The ball landed on the screen, showing the final score. Xiong Xiaoge put down the cue, turned to look at Sun Yi, and signaled him to try again.

Sun Yi stood up again, adjusted his breathing, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, fixed his eyes on the position of the ball, took aim a few times, twisted his body with his spine as the axis, and swung down.

Snapped.

The ball flew out quickly and hit the center of the curtain.

"nice shot!"

Xiong Xiaoge clapped his hands excitedly.

Sun Yi let out a long sigh of relief. This shot felt really different.

I am also playing golf. When I played golf in my previous life, I thought that after relaxing today, I would have to go to work on Monday.

Now when I play golf, I think about how many times the market value of a company can increase if it goes public, and how much the next movie can surpass at the box office.

In my previous life, I followed a group of tourists to arrange a venue, and it was only for a limited time.

Now I am standing on the top floor of a 28-story building, surrounded by well-known successful people. I can lean over the capital and show off as much as I want.

It's like two different lives.

The whole person's state of mind is obviously different.

Pa. Pa. Pa.

Sun Yi was a little addicted and kept swinging along with Xiong Xiaoge.

After hitting the first straight and far ball, you will want to hit another one.

Indeed, as he said, once the ball is hit, a sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously.

Moreover, you will always feel that the next ball will be better, and you will want to constantly surpass yourself and reach a new height.

No wonder golf is called a sport for nobles and is now favored by many successful people.

If you haven't reached that position, you won't be able to experience this feeling of constantly challenging yourself. You will only feel that it is a waste of time and it is meaningless.

After fighting for an hour, the two stopped, each wiped their sweat with a towel, went to the rest area nearby, and drank tea.

"How about it, it feels pretty good!"

As the host, Xiong Xiaoge poured tea for Sun Yi and asked with a smile.

Sun Yi took a sip, and the hot tea gently entered his throat, smooth and mellow.

"It's really good, Mr. Xiong. I kind of like this sport. The manufacturer of this equipment told me that I will buy one for my office later."

Xiong Xiaoge laughed repeatedly and waved his hand: "Hey, I'll give you a set. I'll arrange for someone to install it for you in two days."

"Hey, thank you Mr. Xiong."

"Why are you so polite? There is plenty of room for our future cooperation. After a while, call Wang Xing and let's get together again and go to an outdoor venue. When the time comes, I will introduce you to some old friends." Sun Yi Nodding, thinking.

The old friend Xiong Xiaoge refers to is probably from the top circles in domestic business.

Xingkong is about to be launched, and it is obvious that he has entered the threshold of this industry.

At this time, the secretary knocked on the door, handed the drafted equity transfer agreement to Xiong Xiaoge, and then walked out consciously.

Xiong Xiaoge flipped through it briefly, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he handed it to Sun Yi, and then joked:

"Brother Sun, you are very generous. This purchase is 20% of the shares."

Sun Yi smiled shyly and replied: "A gift."

"Haha, I don't have the romance of you young people. I will help you change the listed equity structure. If there are any changes, please notify me in time. We will report it to the China Securities Regulatory Commission for re-examination. This transfer agreement will take effect upon signature. "

Sun Yi took the transfer letter and thanked:

"Thank you, Mr. Xiong."

"Why are you so polite? Oh, by the way, I have one more thing to trouble Brother Sun."

With that said, Xiong Xiaoge said hello, turned back and walked into the office. He came back after a while, holding something like a document in his hand, and handed it to Sun Yi.

Sun Yi took it and took a look.

"script?"

Xiong Xiaoge nodded and said: "A Hollywood script." Then he smiled heartily and continued to explain: "Look at my memory, you don't know, I invested in Legendary Pictures in North America."

Sun Yi was suddenly shocked.

IDG Capital invests in Legendary Pictures?

When did it happen, why didn't I know?

Sun Yi recalled, if he remembered correctly.

The Chinese branch of IDG Capital, which was headed by Xiong Xiaoge in his previous life, should have invested in Legendary Pictures in 2010, but now it is a full year ahead of schedule.

He didn't know if this change had anything to do with him.

"We are now the second largest shareholder of Legendary Pictures. Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for your original suggestion."

It turns out that it really has something to do with Sun Yi, listening to Xiong Xiaoge’s explanation.

Just a week ago, Xiong Xiaoge invested US$9500 million in Hollywood's Legendary Pictures, buying % of the shares and becoming the second largest shareholder after the founder.

The contract has been signed and the specific funds have been transferred, but it has not yet been disclosed to the media.

No wonder Sun Yi didn't hear any news.

"Congratulations to Mr. Xiong."

"Happy together, rejoice together."

Sun Yi picked up the script just now and asked with some confusion: "Mr. Xiong, what about this one?"

"Oh, yes, this is a movie project that Legendary Pictures will promote next year. They asked me if I have any ideas for additional investment. You see, although I am very optimistic about cultural and entertainment industries and companies and dare to invest, after all, technology There are specialties in the industry, and on specific film projects, I have to ask the opinion of a great director like you."

Everyone carries the sedan chair.

Xiong Xiaoge was very considerate to Sun Yi, and Sun Yi waved his hands repeatedly and replied humbly: "Mr. Xiong is overly praised. He can't be said to be a great director. Let me read the book first."

With that said, he read the script.

It’s okay. Legendary Pictures is very thoughtful and the script is written in both Chinese and English.

The dream was

The dream is.

As soon as Sun Yi started talking, his heart skipped a beat.

Damn it, this can't be "Inception".

Sun Yi composed himself and continued reading.

Dreams and reality seem to conflict with each other. For most people, dreams are an illusory thing. But in reality, we often use words such as dream, dream come true, and dream to combine dreams and beauty. Things are connected together, which shows that there is still a great connection between them.

Dreams and reality have common characteristics, and both reflect our emotions and thoughts.

Dreams and reality can interact.

Various events that appear in dreams can sometimes remind people of things in the future.

People may encounter difficulties, may feel lost and depressed in reality, but dreams can provide people with hope and strength, and at the same time, they can also give people clear ideas, allowing them to deal with real problems more effectively.

Does this mean that in dreams, people can actually change their behavior, just like when a person is young, the ideas implanted in his brain will deeply affect his life.

This is a story of dream and reality.

If it doesn’t run away, it’s Nolan’s “Inception.”

Speaking of which, when Sun Yi watched this movie in his previous life, he called it awesome.

Although it is very sad, I have to admit that the movies produced by Hollywood are really inferior.

This film can be said to be the pinnacle of the stream-of-consciousness soft science fiction genre.

Sun Yi once thought of copying him, but for various reasons, he was unable to do so.

The main reason was time. If he remembered correctly, the first draft of this script should have been as early as 07. Director Nolan had this idea. However, due to Warner's film contract, he needed to finish filming "Batman" first. OK.

According to this statement, Sun Yi could have procured the script in 06.

But it doesn't make much sense. At that time, if the script was procured, it would not be filmed at all. Even now that Starry Sky has combined its soft and hard capabilities to make this movie, it will take a long time to prepare, and it is said that it was only 06.

As for buying a script and then suing them for infringement and plagiarism.

Just go to bed, no one will pay any attention to you.

Unless you register the script in Hollywood, but even then, you will only get the money from selling the script at most, or if you don't sell it, they will directly adjust the plot, and you have no place to reason.

In 06, Sun Yi was still in the crew. He had just made his first theatrical movie "Those Years" as an executive director. He was a pure newcomer.

Don't read too many novels and think that by writing a script, you can take on the Hollywood film and television giants. I would never dream of doing this.

Sun Yi retracted his thoughts, slowly closed the script, and said to Xiong Xiaoge: "Mr. Xiong, in my opinion, this script is rare even in Hollywood. If I guess wrong, the screenwriter and director of the script Probably Christopher Nolan.”

"Yes, this is also one of the cooperation projects between Legendary Pictures and Warner Pictures."

Sun Yi nodded, thought for a while, and said frankly: "Mr. Xiong, let me tell you this, if it were me, I would definitely invest in it. This kind of soft science fiction movie has a market in Hollywood and even around the world. , coupled with Nolan’s level of director, I don’t see the possibility of losing money.”

Xiong Xiaoge rubbed his chin, obviously thinking too. After a moment, he asked: "Brother Sun, how much do you think it would cost to make a good film like this?"

"Hollywood shoot?"

"Well, it was filmed in Hollywood."

"It's at least US$1.5 million."

Xiong Xiaoge nodded, "Oh, Legendary Pictures quoted me US$1.6 million, which seems to be about the same." After that, he sighed, "Hollywood movies are really expensive."

After hearing this, Sun Yi's heart moved slightly. He sat up straight and asked tentatively: "Mr. Xiong, I would like to ask how much investment quota Legendary Pictures has. I don't know if it's convenient."

Xiong Xiaoge immediately understood what Sun Yi meant, smiled faintly, and replied: "Legendary Pictures invested 20%, Warner Pictures invested 30%, and there are several film and television funds that often cooperate with them. After investing 20%, there is still 20% of the quota left. What, Brother Sun, do you have any ideas?"

This is "Inception", how could I not have any ideas?

Besides, once you become an investor, you have a lot more room to operate.

Not to mention making money, trying to become an actor is not like playing for fun.

Sun Yi did not hide it and admitted directly: "I do have an idea."

Xiong Xiaoge pondered for a moment. Although he invested in Legendary Pictures, investing in a company is different from investing in a movie.

Everyone knows the rumors about Hollywood cheating investors, and he, as a shareholder, also has a guilty conscience. Bringing in Sun Yi and using his shooting experience in Hollywood is indeed a kind of insurance. Besides, he is already a partner, so the investment amount is not bad. , simply nodded and said: "Okay, then each of us will take half and eat the 20 percent."

　I owe a chapter, so I'll make up for it tonight or tomorrow.
