I was the owner of the Lakers

“Lack of money? Buy the copyright for a big production? Xiao Yang thought of the situation of Peter Jackson announcing the shooting of the Lord of the Rings next year, and instantly understood, it turned out that this forced the idea of playing the Lord of the Rings now, although Weta Digital was not sold in history, it must have been that Peter Jackson encountered a turnaround during this time.

But now that Xiao Yang knows about this, how can Jackson successfully complete this gorgeous reversal, and the meat sent to his mouth is simply sorry for the protagonist aura given by God.

“Labor and management not only want to ring the ring, but also Weta Digital labor and management must swallow it together.” Xiao Yang muttered in a low voice.

Just kidding, Weta Digital will be the top special effects “517” team second only to Industrial Light & Magic in the future, not only the Lord of the Rings six-part series, but also the special effects they produce include King Kong, Avatar, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and other visual masterpieces, and buying him before they start being the Lord of the Rings is really a big leak.

“What are you talking about? I didn’t hear clearly,” Iger watched Xiao Yang’s face change constantly, as if playing with a face, one moment happy and one moment worried.

“I said we must buy Weta Digital, did you ask how much the New Zealand fat man was going to sell it for?” Xiao Yang calmed down and looked at Iger and asked.

“Well, I didn’t say how much, but the market value of Industrial Light and Magic has been stable at about $4, and Weta Digital, which is slightly worse than him, has 200 million if not 300 million, so I came to you to ask for instructions, so much money and tinder source can not be taken out.” Iger shrugged and said that everything depended on Xiao Yang, a rich man.

“It’s nothing to buy a full-fledged special effects company at this price.” Xiao Yang felt that if he could buy Weta Digital at this price, it would not be a loss at all.

“In this way, $4, I will set the bottom line according to the market value of Industrial Light and Magic, and this reserve price will be handed over to you to negotiate, no matter what, you must buy Weta Digital.” Xiao Yang made a decision in an instant.

“OK, no problem, it’s easy to do if you have money, now Peter Jackson is short of money” Iger agreed excitedly, no matter whether Weta Digital is a subsidiary of Tinder Source at that time, as long as Xiao Yang buys it, it is the same boss, what special effects blockbuster will be filmed in the future, I am afraid that there is no suitable post-production team.

“Okay, you can go to talk right now, the sooner the better, so as not to make trouble” Xiao Yang urged Iger to hurry up to start the acquisition negotiations, he was not quite sure when Peter Jackson’s opportunity would come, after all, in history, this fat man successfully filmed The Lord of the Rings, and Weta Digital did not sell.

He doesn’t want to miss this opportunity, a team ah, and a team that can make a blockbuster like The Lord of the Rings right away, if you buy it, Tinder Source can even make a big Marvel superhero and move it to the big screen.

……

“Hello, Xiao, first meeting” Standing in front of Xiao Yang was a fat man with a beard, wearing an ill-fitting suit, and stretched out his right hand towards Xiao Yang.

Iger really has no words, just three days, and the time is almost the same as Peter Jackson, this time officially brought Jackson to sign a contract with Xiao Yang.

The reason for this so fast is also because this big fat New Zealand man is too short of money, not only in a hurry to buy the rights of The Lord of the Rings, but also to prepare a shooting plan, these are all places that are anxious to use the money.

And Weta Digital has to constantly burn money to improve technology and update equipment.

Although it is a top special effects company, it is not very popular with special effects blockbusters now, so Weta Digital does not make any money at all, and it is very self-sufficient.

Over the years, Jackson has to pour money into it almost every year to survive………

So when Iger found him and offered him an unrejectable price, he agreed to Xiao Yang’s acquisition request without much bargaining.

“Hello, Peter, I heard Robert mention you, and I admire your Weta Digital, so when I heard that you wanted to sell it, I immediately asked Robert to contact you. Looks like I got it right,” Xiao Yang smiled and shook Jackson’s hand.

“Hehe, if it weren’t for the fact that there is really no way on my side, the gap is too big, otherwise I wouldn’t have thought of selling Weta Digital.” Jackson smiled bitterly, after all, it was his own hard work, so he sold it, and he really couldn’t bear it.

“Don’t worry, I will invest heavily in Weta Digital to make him develop better, I believe you also hope to see the company you founded become the pinnacle of the industry.” Xiao Yang said with a smile.

“I hope so.” Jackson smiled, “Well, let’s sign the contract.” ”

Xiao Yang also didn’t want to talk nonsense, directly gave two contracts that had already been drawn up, Jackson took it and handed it to the lawyer he brought to see, and after the lawyer read and confirmed that it was correct, he solemnly signed his name 0.7 words on the contract.

The next thing was left to the professionals, and at this point, Xiao Yang officially became the new owner of Weta Digital for $280 million.

————————–

To explain, the shares of Weta Digital are not all Peter Jackson alone, in fact, Weta Digital was created by Peter Jackson and his friends Richard Taylor and Jimmy Selkirk, here for the sake of the plot needs to ignore the issue of the shares of the other two, everyone sees that there is no need to be too entangled.
