"$30.3 million!"

Takagi Ichiro gave a new offer with a cold face, adding 300,000, which was close to the expected limit, and then looked at Li Qian with disdain, turned his head and said to the auction judge and the creditors attending the meeting.

"As we all know, Hollywood's special effects companies are experiencing problems in their business today, the biggest problem is the lack of enough business to maintain the company's operations, Sony invests in a large number of movies every year, there is enough business to support the digital field, and we have experience in running special effects companies, after the merger of Sony graphics and digital fields, we will ensure the work of all employees, we will not lay off anyone!"

"And this Chinese company. ”

Takagi's tone changed and he continued disdainfully, "As far as I know, this company only invests in two or three films a year, and all of them are low-budget films, which are completely unable to support the daily operation of the digital field.

And I don't think that Huaguo Film, where there is a need for such high technology in the digital field, if the future operation cannot be guaranteed, it is conceivable that in two years, today's auction will be repeated again. ”

This is indeed Li Qian's disadvantage, and unless the bankruptcy auction has an overwhelming price advantage, the company's future operation plan cannot be ignored.

Now that a large number of unemployed special effects personnel in Hollywood are already on strike, the stability of the industry is also what judges need, and they can't help nodding.

Takagi nodded in satisfaction and glanced at Li Qian, who was naturally hostile to the Chinese, no matter who they were.

However, he didn't look at him, and spoke to Judge Shi Shiran, "Mr. Judge, now the Chinese film industry is developing at a rapid rate of 30% per year, and the box office of my last film reached 250 million US dollars, and this number will increase every year in the future, and after three or five years, there will be more and more films with a box office of 200 million US dollars in the Chinese film market, which is not unusual."

This box office can support higher investment, and my film company is already preparing an oriental adventure blockbuster with an investment of $60 million, and a sci-fi blockbuster with an investment of $100 million, and most of the cost will be spent on special effects.

This may not be enough, but Huaguo is not only my company, in fact, my company is just a small company, only a year and a half ....."

bragged about the bull, and brought Huayang, Bernard, and Zhongying with him, but the key is not this, this is just an excuse to persuade the judge, the important thing is money.

"33 million!"

Li Qian opened a price similar to Sony's 30.3 million, so he didn't say anything more, waiting for other people's bids.

Alaper numbers, common all over the world, although Li Qian didn't say anything, but everyone knows what it means.

dignified Sony, the price increase is only 300,000, and the small company in his mouth, Li Qian directly added 2.7 million, and 33 million, compared with 30.3 million, Sony is even more stingy.

Ichiro Takagi was also angry, and the dignified vice president of Sony Entertainment was despised by a Chinese.

Back then, the Japanese Benko claimed that they could buy the entire rice grain jian just by the east longitude, and they did the same, and they made a big purchase in the rice grain jian, and bought the empire building, which caused the rice grain jian people to be shocked.

Although he was later taught a lesson by Mi Lijian's father, Takagi looked down on anyone except his father, let alone the hostile Chinese.

However, as soon as I wanted to speak, someone in the team behind me reminded me that the bottom line had exceeded $3 million.

Although he is the vice president of Sony Entertainment, Sony Entertainment is not his after all, and the price has far exceeded the bottom line, which means that the company will not accept this price.

Of course, Sony won't admit it, but Takagi is in trouble.

In the end, Takagi shut up in hatred.

The core special effects business and special effects studio in the digital field were won by Li Qian at a price of 33 million US dollars.

The auction is over, and the follow-up Zhong Lifang goes to dock with the other party, and Li Qian has nothing to do.

Li Ming also came to say hello to Li Qian, and left a little helplessly.

"The man was a white glove. Zhong Lifang looked at the back of Li Ming leaving, and suddenly remembered something.

"Who?" Li Qian was stunned.

"The Chinese man next to Dong Li. ”

"Oh, forget it, I don't know either. ”

Li Qian shook his head indifferently, no wonder Xiaoma was coming, he also felt strange, Xiaoma is not doing well now, there is a gambling agreement, and the money used to buy it.

With white gloves involved, it's not surprising.

The so-called white gloves, literally, white means legal, through some legal means, as a middleman to make profits.

As for how to operate, to make money through the digital field, Li Qian doesn't bother to care, anyway, it has nothing to do with him, the purpose of the two sides is different.

In the future, the digital field will send a group of people to set up a branch in China, and Li Qian has already acquired a medium-sized special effects company in China.

Leave the top business in North America, and divide the rest back to the mainland, and those who don't want to go will slowly open it later.

Anything to ensure the employment of everyone is nonsense, just find an excuse to resign.

There is no need for too many people to come to China, just a small part, at home and abroad in terms of special effects, the main difference is not technology, but the gap in concept and thinking.

In addition, the special effects training school in North America in the digital field, which is the industry of the parent company in the digital field, will cooperate with Li Qian in the future and slowly send some people over for training.

......

Leaving the bankruptcy court, in the hotel car, Thomas talked about the "Jaws" series again.

"Director Li, there is still potential to be tapped in this series, and I think the fourth part can still be filmed. ”

The global box office is 60 million, and the cost has almost been recovered at the box office, and the remaining DVDs and other copyrights are almost pure profits, so Thomas doesn't want to make a fourth part.

"I won't shoot the fourth part, in fact, there is nothing to shoot, and if I continue to shoot it, the reputation of this series will be ruined. Li Qian shook his head, how else can he shoot, there is no suspense at the end of the third part.

The second and third parts are fascinating, and a large part of it is that there is suspense left at the end of the previous part.

The first part has the best reputation, and the thriller is done to the extreme, so the appearance of the shark at the end has been remembered by the audience.

Although the second part is fried cold rice, the protagonist was killed by the shark son, such an exciting thing also makes up for a little.

But in the third part, not to mention that there was no suspense in the end, even if you wanted to stay, there was no way, the shark son was dead.

I can't have a shark son's wife in the next part, it's really a cycle, and I don't play anymore.

Thomas thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, how about Director Li hand over the adaptation rights of "Jaws" to us?"

"Oh, how much does your company produce?" Li Qianqi, Hollywood bought the adaptation rights of Chinese movies, and the last time was "Infernal Affairs".

"How about $8 million?" Thomas said.

"5000!" Li Qian smiled.

Thomas almost didn't choke, and $50 million scared the hell out of him.

$50 million, it's enough to invite two 20 million clubs, just buy the adaptation rights, it's outrageous.

"$12 million. ”

"40 million. ”

"15 million. ”

"Your company can earn two 35 million for the third part, continue to use the title and routine of "Jaws", and shoot three more films, your company can earn 200 million US dollars, 40 million!" Li Qian said very conscientiously.

"18 million, no matter how high it is, it's not something I can decide. Thomas shook his head.

Li Qian said with a smile, "There is an old saying in our country, if you retreat from the sea and the sky, it is better to compromise, 30 million." ”

Thomas struggled for a long time before he said, "I need to report to the board." ”

"Then I'll wait for news from Mr. Thomas. ”

is the same as buying vegetables in the vegetable market, and the adaptation rights of "Jaws" were sold for $30 million.

Nearly 200 million yuan, if other companies know about it, they can be scared to death.

However, this price is not expensive at all, only 30 million US dollars.

"Jaws 3" can create at least 70 million profits, and after the adaptation, it will be replaced by white actors, and one will be released every two years, and it will be no problem to make two bad money.

Make $30 million for nothing, sometimes it's that simple.

In fact, it is not simple, before Tengxun launched WeChat, Li Qian bought some stocks, did nothing, and made more than 100 million.

This trip to Hollywood is not bad, and in the end, Li Qian wanted to mention the Oscars to Thomas, after all, the Olympics must be marketed, and Warner has experience in this area.

But I still didn't say it, after all, the above hasn't given a reply yet, if you are slapped in the face, it will not be good.

......

After finishing his errands, Li Qian flew back to the capital overnight, and there was nothing to do in Mi Lijian.

On the third day of returning home, the above finally made a choice, "Truman's World" will represent Chinese films at the 2013 Oscars.

It's not too early, more than a week has passed in September, and in order to meet the conditions for participation, "Truman's World" officially began to be screened in a cinema in a VIP hall with only 23 seats on the outskirts of Jiangning.

There was no publicity, so the cinema opened early and was released at 7 o'clock every morning, and even the tickets were bought in advance.

Ordinary audiences didn't know that it would be released at all, and the ticketing platform couldn't see it, so they could only buy it on the spot, and not a single ticket was revealed.

The "audience" was specially arranged to go in, and the ordinary audience didn't know that there was such a thing.

However, the requirement of commercial screening is here, and it is impossible to conceal it, which is called internal secret screening, not formal commercial screening, and must be made public.

Even if it is a suburban cinema, the place where there is a cinema is not too remote, and there are also audiences who go to see it, and some attentive viewers saw the information about the screening of "Truman's World" from the ticket sales information scrolling on the big screen of the cinema on the first day.

However, when I bought the tickets, I was told that more than 150 tickets for the seven performances in the next week had been sold out.

As soon as this news came out, it was a fryer, and the movie I had been looking forward to thought would be released in a few months, but it was suddenly screened, and the key was that I couldn't buy tickets!
