Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 265 The Last Link

In Gu Ming's memory, it was called Sofu Network Building.

Well, it is located east of Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College, adjacent to Zhongguancun.

The construction area is 40500 square meters, with two floors underground and thirteen floors above ground.

That's right, it's him.

In 06, Soufou spent huge sums of money to buy it.

How much did it cost?

1.8 billion?

This is the same as its quoted price, and it seems that it should be this number.

How about that?

Gu Ming mentally calculated the distance between it and Nortel, which was less than five kilometers.

Not too far.

Moreover, future Venus stars will definitely not be able to just hang out in the film and television industry. The Internet will definitely have to get involved. Moving to Zhongguancun will make it easier to recruit people.

"That's it."

"Go and get a detailed report. If there's no problem, the company will get a loan to buy this building down."

Hearing Gu Ming's words, Li Xiaoping suddenly felt that her life was complete.

The headquarters building that we have longed for is right in front of us.

It's about to happen.

Thinking about the feeling of standing on the top floor of the building and looking down, I feel more and more how right I was to join this company in the first place.

Who would have thought that in just eight years, Daystar could develop to where it is today.

A well-deserved leader in the domestic film and television industry.

Theatrical music movies and TV shows are all available.

"Okay!" Li Xiaoping responded angrily, turned around and walked towards the door.

After taking two steps, she suddenly turned back and said, "Mr. Gu, what are you going to do with the remaining $100 million?"

"Do animation."

"cartoon?"

Li Xiaoping was not surprised by Gu Ming's choice.

As a film and television company, there is not even a single cartoon, which seems to be lacking something.

If the last link of animation as a media company is completed, Daystar will indeed be more complete.

only……

"What kind of cartoon needs $100 million?"

"you guess."

"One hundred million U.S. dollars." Li Xiaoping immediately eliminated the cartoons on TV. She couldn't make any money back, she couldn't make it back at all.

And it doesn’t cost that much money!

That's the movie.

"A 3D animated movie?" Li Xiaoping was startled by her own idea, "An animated movie like Pixar or DreamWorks Animation?"

"That's right!" Gu Ming nodded slightly.

In Gu Ming's view, animated movies are probably the easiest movies to break through various cultural barriers.

It also saves you the trouble of thinking about the dubbing. If the mouth shape doesn't match, the Chinese version and the English version are average, ensuring the original taste.

The box office is profitable enough, and the subsequent derivatives are unmatched by other movies.

As long as the animation is popular, anything can be licensed.

Schoolbags, shoes, socks, water bottles, there are so many types.

Even if it’s just licensed dolls, that’s a lot of money.

"Invest 3 million in an animated film?" Li Xiaoping was a little unsure, "Is it possible? If it fails, we will suffer a big loss. Otherwise, we should start with animated films, one step at a time, make it bigger and stronger, and then attack again. D animated movie?"       "No need."

Gu Ming held out three fingers, "To succeed in doing big things, there are three conditions, first, money, second, money, and third, still money!"

"I climbed directly to the highest level, and the salary offered to me was half that of my peers. Anyway, the salary in China cannot be compared with that in the United States. Even if the salary is doubled, the cost will be much lower."

"But..." Li Xiaoping was still a little hypocritical, "If you invest 3 million in a live-action movie, then I won't say anything and will welcome it with both hands and feet, whether it be an animated movie or a 2D animated movie. We don't have the relevant talents in the country! Everyone is doing it D cartoon."

"Then go to North America and Europe to recruit people, and pay them double or triple wages. When the film is released, you can even get a small commission based on the box office!"

"You don't need too many people like this. An animated film requires about five to six hundred people to produce. We will recruit dozens of people from North America, and use domestic people for the rest. Ten in one area is almost enough."

"I can also come up with ideas for the story outline and character design. I think it will be successful."

"Also, don't you have Sophia's phone number? The two of you will communicate and ask him to mobilize his contacts to help you decide on the candidate."

"In short, animated movies must be made!"

If you don't do it, you won't be able to catch up.

I originally planned to make "Kung Fu Panda", but it turned out that they had already registered it. If we don't hurry up, it will be a series of cartoons that can be popularized all over the world and become a box office hit.

As for what cartoons to produce after the animation company is established, Gu Ming has already made up his mind.

Minions!

Also called "Despicable Me".

In the previous life, starting from 10, a total of five "Despicable Me" movies were released, including "Despicable Me 1.2.3" plus "Minions with Big Eyes" and "Minions with Big Eyes: The Prequel to Despicable Me".

The combined global box office of the five animated films reached US$4.6 billion.

How big a bite of cake is this?

And it can be filmed in China, so you don’t have to worry about any constraints.

If you don’t eat, you are simply not human.

"Okay." Li Xiaoping understood that she couldn't persuade Gu Ming to come back to what he had already decided. And she didn't dare to 3% think that D animation would definitely not be possible. In terms of film and television, Gu Ming had not missed his choice yet. Who could say that he would be wrong this time?

Anyway, Li Xiaoping didn't think her vision was stronger than Gu Ming's.

Therefore, she simply followed Gu Ming's thinking and asked, "Mr. Gu, will the animation company this time set up a department directly within Daystar, or will it establish a new subsidiary?"

"Let's set up a subsidiary in Chang'an."

"Get closer to the special effects company and move them to the High-tech Zone."

"It and the special effects companies can also have a certain promotion effect."

Of course, this is only one aspect.

Gu Ming still has feelings about his hometown.

As well as another deeper consideration, an investment of 100 million U.S. dollars is not a small amount in a high-tech zone. It can make friends.

And now we are setting up an animation company to produce "Despicable Me", which will probably be released in 2008.

It’s just the right time for results to come out!

When the time comes, Ling Ba will think of ways to increase investment, such as mortgage loans, and invest tens of billions. Changan will invest part of it and Fushi will invest part of it.

It doesn’t matter what you invest in, it will start at tens of billions anyway.

In the previous life in 2008, Guan-Shaanxi's GDP was only 680 billion, and the annual GDP investment was close to 2%. The investment in skin care was only more than 70 billion. If it were divided into 30 and 40 billion, it would be close to 100%. Five of them.

It's quite interesting, I think I can still make some friends for myself.

After all, you don’t only invest for one year, right?

Well, that’s it!

With such a plan, Gu Ming felt an inexplicable sense of security.

Lying comfortably on the back of the chair, he waved his hand to Li Xiaoping, "Go out and execute it."

After he went out, Gu Ming picked up a pen and started drawing on the paper.

One, two, three.

When wearing jeans, this one has two eyes, this one has one eye, and this one has a bunch of stupid hair on its head.
