Age of Dreams

Listening to Xiao Qi's plan, their eyes lit up. <

Investment rights and priority rights are of course a lot worse than real copyright ownership!

"But will they agree?" Sam still lacks confidence.

"Let’s talk, how do you know if you don’t talk about it?" Xiao Qi smiled, "What's more, we don’t have a film company when we sell the copyright, so we can only ask them to make it? They can make a lot of money in production. This also means that Paramount has not left these hero series!"

David was obviously moved, he was silent for a moment, and nodded seriously: "Then, let's talk about it again!"

He is a rich second-generation, yes, but he is a smart rich second-generation, he will only spend money on the business he likes, and will not spend a lot of money on pleasure.

He was just too excited before, thinking that Paramount can give these benefits, that is the best result. He can satisfy his childhood wishes, become the most beautiful person in Hollywood, and make money. Suntory!

But he never thought of negotiating the principle of reciprocity.

I always feel that Paramount is one of the seven major Hollywood studios, a giant, and he is just an investor. They are lucky enough to be able to move so much.

But the fact is that in the context of this financial crisis, Paramount, a giant, has been shaky, and his investor is holding a lot of money, and it can be a life-saving straw for Paramount.

Sam seems simpler. He knows that David has Hollywood experience. He was just following his studies. But since he knew that Xiao Qi was also investing in David Studios, he also wanted to come to Rongcheng and Xiao Qi. Discussing investment matters, by the way, he also became a shareholder of David Studio.

"One more thing." David gulped his tea. Said: "Our studio, Sam wants to join in. And if we really want to reach an agreement with Paramount, 1.45 billion US dollars, our money is not enough, it is time to re-negotiate the shares!"

"What do you think?" Xiao Qi asked instead without answering.

"1.45 billion is an astronomical figure. My father will give me another 200 million dollars at most. It is impossible to give me the rest." David said honestly.

"My money is less. My father only gave me 100 million dollars. I mainly follow to learn." Sam said in a whisper, 100 million dollars is a lot for others, but in front of Xiao Qi and David , The money is too little.

"Calculate, I originally invested 300 million, plus 200 million is 500 million US dollars, Sam 100 million... In addition to our operation needs. You have to invest at least another 800 million US dollars in, are you willing to add it?" David asked Tao.

"Add it!" Xiao Qi nodded, "I paid a total of 1 billion U.S. dollars, but the owner of the shares has changed, and all will be given to Little Taylor."

"Wow..."

Sam gave a thumbs up, "Xiao Qi, you are so bold!"

"Nonsense, he has made Miss Swift's belly bigger and he doesn't marry someone. Naturally, I have to give it more!" David said with a chuckle.

"Miss Swift is only 18 years old? You are only 21 years old, and you are going to have children so soon... You Chinese have a strange mentality." Sam also laughed: "I didn't plan to get married before I was 30. The child must be after 35 years old."

David very much agrees with Sam's words, but he has not forgotten what is going on. "The total capital of David Studio is 1.6 billion US dollars. According to the proportion of investment, Xiao Qi is 62.5% and Sam is 6.25%. I am 31.25. %. Since the number of shareholders has increased and I am not the first shareholder, I think the studio name can also be changed."

"I propose to call Friendship Studio, how about it?" Sam suggested, "We are all friends. Starting a business together is very exciting, and it also symbolizes that we have to maintain friendship!"

"I think it's good." Xiao Qi has no objection to these, and Little Taylor doesn't like to argue for such falsehood.

"Then set it like this!"

David doesn't have much opinion either. In his heart, doing things and becoming a movie tycoon is the most important thing.

However, David did not consider the acquisition of Paramount that Xiao Qi said, because such a huge film company involved too many things in all aspects, and he didn't want to take care of it.

Participating in investment, shooting, screening, etc. for the movies he likes is what he likes to do.

He believes that Xiao Qi will not buy Paramount, no matter how big and beautiful Paramount is, but making a movie is really not easy, maybe you will lose money, and you don’t know which one will lose money. In the days of suffering, a smart person like Xiao Qi would naturally not want to experience it.

David's proposal to Xiao Qi was really tempting.

He followed Xiao Qi's meaning in this way. What a huge figure of 1.45 billion, it was almost 25% of Paramount's value. So much money was exchanged for so little things, and it was really a shame.

"Transformers", "Mission Impossible", "Iron Man", "Captain America", and "Avengers" these five series of movies are so profitable. He has made calculations a long time ago, and it is currently Paramount's best Something that can be taken out.

Although taking the opportunity to ask for the copyrights of these films is a bit of taking advantage of the danger, the problem is that if they do not make a move, Paramount will go bankrupt like MGM, and then these copyrights will be cheaper for others.

Between the company being sold off by Redstone and the two ways of giving benefits to continue, David believes that Paramount will definitely make the right choice.

Besides, David knew more than Xiao Qi.

The copyright of the above five super movies is very troublesome.

For example, "Iron Man" was sold by Marvel Animation to Disney for a long time, while Paramount only obtained the production and distribution rights for the first and second installments. Starting from the third installment, it will return to Disney.

As for the "Mission: Impossible" series, half of the copyright is in the hands of Tom, and Paramount only has half. When the time comes to shoot, we should also discuss cooperation.

Considering the loss of the interests of these two series, David felt that he could take the film copyright of "Tomb Raider" to make up for his loss.

"I also remembered one thing, that is, David and I have to make money from now on." Between David's thoughts, Sam said sternly: "Buying the copyright is one thing, but you can't invest in shooting. No money? According to the production cost of these blockbusters of 100 million to 200 million, we have to prepare at least about 500 million before we can continue to rely on profit."

"You're right!" David came back to his senses and sighed: "We have to work hard, it's better for Xiao Qi! Just sell some shares and earn 93 billion US dollars, which makes people jealous that they want to kidnap him. !"

"Don't be so pitiful, how about you tell your father, if you don't want to, return the shares to me?" Xiao Qi spread his hands and said.

"Dream you!" David and Sam said in unison.

"Hahaha..."

The three looked at each other, and suddenly laughed.

...

Sam and David are really not people who like to have fun. After talking about business, they also repaired in Chengdu for a day, then hurriedly boarded the plane and flew back to the United States again.

Xiao Qi is seldom willing to do business with the rich second generation, but Sam and David are good people. The previous Sam was a little dull, but after a period of polishing by Branson, in just a few months, It became a lot more calm, so Xiao Qi had to sigh that Branson really had a way to teach children.

Xiao Qi had planned to buy Disney shares for Little Taylor, but Joe’s gang has never started, making Xiao Qi a little helpless. It just so happens that Friendship Studios can make money from several movies here and gain the reputation of Nuo Da. It is very helpful to consolidate little Taylor's position in the entertainment industry, at least to make her music path go smoother.

Taylor is really a very naive little girl, she is not interested in all the fame and fortune, Xiao Qi is the most important person in her life, besides that is music.

But the music circle is not much simpler than the movie circle. If there is no strong force to protect herself, with little Taylor's simple personality, sooner or later, she will be run and framed by others and fall into the abyss.

If there is such a huge strength behind it, with Sam and David to help Taylor, then even if Xiao Qi can't be in the United States all the time, she won't be afraid of others.

Of course, although the Friendship Studio will be successful for more than ten years, it is ultimately just rootless duckweed, so Xiao Qicai intends to buy her about 5% of Disney shares. This is the one that can truly stand forever. capital.

But after David's lobbying, Xiao Qi suddenly felt that there was another industry that was more suitable for Little Taylor, and suitable for Little Taylor and his children and grandchildren.

That is the famous Marvel Comics Company!

All comic heroes in the United States basically come from Marvel comics and comics.

The comics have famous characters such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Flash, as well as superhero teams such as the Justice League and the Teen Titans.

Marvel comics also have Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine, etc.~www.readwn.com~ There are also superhero teams such as Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men.

The two are evenly matched, each occupying half of the country.

However, the comics were acquired by Time Warner as early as 1969, and it has been almost 40 years since Time Warner has been able to let it go.

Marvel comics are different. They have always insisted on operating on their own, but their stalls have been too open in recent years and their development has been too fast, so recent days have not been very easy.

A series of superheroes appeared on the screen after the mature promotion of imax and 3d technology, that is, around 2009 and 2010, and Disney was lucky enough to purchase Marvel at the end of 2009.

Prior to this, Marvel Comics had not yet demonstrated its huge ability to attract gold.

But just use money, anyway, Xiao Qi has money.

As long as the strategy is right, it is definitely not difficult for Marvel Comics to change the surname to Swift! To be continued. .
