Chapter 474: North Sugar Man and South Zhou Yi
The excited Chen Hao hugged Xiaoying and turned around again and again, but the frightened Xiaoying screamed again and again.
"Ah......h
Finally, Chen Hao put down Xiao Ying, and Xiao Ying couldn't help but say angrily, "What kind of nerve?"
"I bought Marvel, hahaha......" Chen Hao laughed.
"Acquisition is acquisition, a comic company needs to be so happy!" Xiao Ying said angrily.
"Haha, you don't understand!" Chen Hao shook his head with a smile.
"I don't want to understand, I'm going to sleep. Xiao Ying glanced at Chen Hao, and turned to look for the bedroom.
Chen Hao was still excited, and his passion had nowhere to vent, so he thought of the widow sister, but unfortunately sent a message, but the widow sister was not in Los Angeles.
Then I saw Xiaoying after washing, thought about it, forget it, take a bath, and sleep!
The next day, Chen Hao came to Marvel again, but Kevin Feige, who came to greet him this time, was very enthusiastic.
The two sides did not be too polite, they just signed the contract, and Chen Hao immediately called over some of the money.
The acquisition of Marvel cost a total of $780 million, of which $210 million was funded, and the other $570 million was the original Marvel's debt.
Now, Marvel is a wholly owned subsidiary of Measuring Ruler Pictures, but it is also saddled with $570 million in foreign debt.
Of the $210 million in funds, the first payment of $60 million was paid, and the remaining $150 million, at the suggestion of Hu Jin, Chen Hao decided to take out a loan.
In this way, it can not only ensure that the working capital of Tianqi Pictures is sufficient, but also amortize the income and reasonably avoid taxes.
"Mr. Chen, happy cooperation!" said Kevin Feige with a smile.
"Happy cooperation!" Chen Hao laughed.
Although Tianqi acquired Marvel, Chen Hao did not plan to make too many changes to the management, because it was the current Marvel management that successfully developed the Avengers.
Chen Hao only needs to do his role as an investor, after all, when it comes to understanding Marvel superheroes, he is definitely not as good as Kevin Feige and Stan Lee.
"The job arrangement is as usual for the time being, and so is the division of work, and your most important job is to sort out the linkage and timeline between various superheroes to create a good Marvel Cinematic Universe. Chen Hao said.
"Don't worry, I've already done some of the work before, and it's relatively easy to do it now. Kevin Feige laughed.
"That's hard work, everyone, looking forward to the formation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Chen Hao said.
After getting Marvel, Chen Hao and Hu Jin left together.
"Thanks to you this time, Mr. Hu!" Chen Hao said with a smile.
"It's just a matter of business. Hu Jin said with a smile.
"I'm going to trouble you about the loan. Chen Hao said, "In addition, after returning to China, there will be tasks for you." ”
"And?" Hu Jin was stunned when he heard this, "Your appetite is really too big!"
"It's an acquisition that has been implemented for a long time, but has not been smooth. Chen Hao said.
"Let's talk about it specifically!" Hu Jin said with interest.
"I asked Zhuang Liqi to go to Jin Yingma to talk about the acquisition, but now the newly established Chengtian Entertainment has also taken a fancy to Jin Yingma, and it has been competing with us for a long time, so I will trouble you to keep an eye on it this time. Chen Hao said.
"It was Mr. Zhuang who was in charge before?" Hu Jin said when he heard this.
"Yes, but Kim Young-ma doesn't have to force it if he really can't do it. Chen Hao said.
In the previous life, Chengtian Entertainment said that it had acquired Jin Yingma, but when Chengtian was full of internal contradictions, he said that he and Chengtian were only in a cooperative relationship, and even broke away from Chengtian directly in the end.
The production ability of Kim Yingma's film and television dramas is still very strong, but it is also a hard stubble!
"If Jin Yingma can't do it, then you can contact Zhou Yi and Sugar Man and strive to buy one of them. Chen Hao said.
North Sugar Man and South Zhou Yi were well-known in the field of film and television drama production at that time.
Now, Zhou Yi has shown his talents, "Water Moon Cave Sky" was born, known as the pioneering work of fantasy martial arts in the mainland, in addition to the first time-traveling drama "Love Through Time and Space" in the mainland.
"The History of Martial Arts", "The Young King", "Xiao Shiyi Lang", "The Legend of the Spirit Mirror", "Qinghe Love", "Li Wei as an Official", etc., in the first ten years of the century, Zhou Yi was definitely a smash hit.
It's a pity that the celebrities are not popular, and their own artists are stunned that they have not cultivated a big name, but the cooperative artists of other people's families are more popular than one another.
Moreover, the uneven distribution of roles led to the loss of the core resources of the artists later, and the directors who cooperated with them also kept switching, and the cooperative relationship became more and more unstable.
When the "Feeding Door" broke out, countless negative news followed, Jiang Xuerou and her husband (Boss Zhou Yi) broke up unhappily, and Jiang Xuerou quickly retired.
Then Zhou Yi lost his backbone!
The subsequent rise of new peers such as Huanrui, in terms of screenwriting, original strength, cost control, etc., may have been inferior to Zhou Yi at that time, but in the layout of the whole IP industry chain, creating martial arts IP and derivative business, Zhou Yi is obviously too immature.
The final result is that when the mainland entertainment industry has just entered its golden period, it has dissipated directly!
It can be said that Zhou Yi Film and Television is a good memory of many post-80s generations, a smash hit, but it suddenly dissipated like smoke, and there was no news, it's a pity!
As for the sugar man, he is now quite famous in Treasure Island, but he is not as good as Zhou Yi in the mainland, and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which made it popular in the mainland, was cut off by Haotian.
So in terms of fame and influence, the current sugar man is somewhat insignificant.
But Chen Hao knows the future of the sugar man, so he also regards it as one of the goals, but it is difficult to say whether he can get his wish.
Because the sugar people, like Rongxingda, were reluctant to introduce capital at first, but they missed the best reality of development and growth, and later wanted to go public but failed, regretting not being at the beginning!
"OK, when I will complete the loan in China, I will immediately collect information and try to give you a result as soon as possible. Hu Jin nodded.
"That's hard!" Chen Hao nodded.
There is a professional person to operate, which really saves time and effort, and has many benefits.
After separating from Hu Jin, Colombia's call came again, and they asked Chen Hao to attend the press conference of "The Da Vinci Code".
As a key project of Colombia this year, with an investment of up to $115 million in A-grade productions, it is natural to start promoting before the start of production, maintain the popularity, and lay the foundation for a higher box office.
In fact, "The Da Vinci Code" has always been very popular, because this best-selling book has been controversial because of religious issues since the interview.
Now to be adapted into a movie, Colombia has invested 115 million, and it has also found the hot Chinese director Chen Hao to direct, which has earned enough eyeballs.
Therefore, the press conference of "The Da Vinci Code" was crowded with North American media reporters.
