Chapter 1241: The Lion King

Liu Lang's house was idle, and Liu Lang didn't sell it, so Mo Lan found a local Chinese to clean it regularly every week.

Since Moran agreed to be the general manager, she immediately began to find some people, all of whom she had met while studying at Stanford University, and many of whom were also Chinese.

Liu Lang doesn't care about these things, what salary, what various benefits are all Mo Lan's words, in fact, Liu Lang has promised Mo Lan, she is a shareholder of the company's shares in the future, accounting for ten percent of the shares, and the rest is temporarily owned by Liu Lang, but also to find some investors, not that Liu Lang has no money, but to use the identity of these investors to better carry out work, of course, the major shareholder has to be Liu Lang, he wants to grasp the actual control of the company.

Moran went to prepare her management team, Liu Lang was not idle, went to Shengtang Company to take a look at old friends, today's Shengtang Company is already a large company with more than 500 employees, the senior management has no leisure time, they are busy every day, especially Industrial Light & Magic has long become a special effects production company with multiple high-tech departments, and the level of special effects produced is well-deserved to be the first in the world, starting with "Toy Story", followed by "True Lies", and then "Finding Nemo" , all three films won the Oscar for Best Special Effects, and the other awards were even softer.

Because of the emergence of industrial light and magic, many film companies have begun to pay attention to film special effects and establish their own special effects companies in Hollywood, but their level is still far from industrial light and magic, especially technical engineers, Chengxian and Cattermor are now the top bosses in the industry, and have also become visiting professors at several schools.

Many entertainment companies are secretly looking for them, giving them high salaries, hoping that the other party will jump ship, but no one can succeed, let alone Chengxian and Cattermole, even middle-level personnel can't dig up, but there are some ordinary staff who jump ship and leave, which is normal, after all, the other party gives a lot of money, but after these people leave, they want to sell their shares to other employees at market prices, which is actually a big loss, after all, the shares of Shengtang Company will grow at a rate of more than 10% every year, which is better than any entertainment company。

Now ILM is working on its third animated film, The Lion King Liu Lang still remembers that this movie is the first Hollywood blockbuster introduced in China, it was in 1996, that year Liu Lang graduated from junior high school, and a few good classmates went to the Cultural Palace in the city center to watch this movie, at that time the country was a circular field, from eight o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the evening, ten yuan tickets can be seen casually, Liu Lang and his classmates entered on time at eight o'clock in the morning, and then they watched it in the dark, watched it four times, and did not come out until six o'clock in the evening, and walked unsteadily。

Even if Liu Lang does not rely on his soul search ability, all the plots in "The Lion King" are remembered clearly, and every line is engraved in his mind a little recall, this movie is of course a very classic, in fact, it can be ranked in the top three in the history of Disney, and it was released in 95 years in the previous life, and the total global box office reached 900 million US dollars, which is much higher than the Toy Story that appeared later.

Of course, the situation has changed in this life, Industrial Light & Magic produced Toy Story nearly ten years in advance, allowing world movies to enter the era of 3D special effects, Disney, which made its fortune with animation, can no longer be compared with Saint Tang, Disney in this life is destined to be incomparable with the previous life, because Marvel is already in the hands of Saint Tang, without this company, Disney is a second-rate company at best.

The copyright of the cartoon "The Lion King" belongs to Disney, and Disney already wanted to make this cartoon into a movie last year, so he discussed the production with Shengtang, well, with the blessing of industrial light and magic, Disney no longer has the confidence to complete a Hongda animated film by itself, after all, the technology is not good, once the independent production is messed up, it is not good, and now the Shengtang company and Disney are very happy to cooperate, the previous "Finding Nemo" With the Disney Company, they invested 3 million US dollars, and finally earned 30 million, and the rate of return reached 10 times, who can refuse this kind of good thing that can make money lying down? Therefore, Disney now has a very good relationship with the Shengtang Company, and the same is true for the Fox Company, and in their eyes, the Shengtang Company, which has Liu Lang in charge, is a cash cow, and as long as they serve them well, they can have a large amount of money flowing into their pockets.

For this reason, Disney took out the copyright of "The Lion King" "obediently" for Liu Lang's reference, and Liu Lang, of course, took it all right, and immediately made a decision to invest in filming, and then spent a week drawing a full set of sketches.

Disney just took out the copyright, and the storyline hasn't been thought out yet, and then in a week, Liu Lang built a complete story line, and drew more than 200 sketches, and dozens of characters such as Simba and Mufasa were all on the paper.

Lucas and these people are not surprised by Liu Lang's superpowers, one brain can be worth hundreds of brains of others, don't try to understand Liu Lang's wisdom with mortal thoughts, this is their consensus, but others have not personally learned Liu Lang's ability, when a script and more than two hundred are placed in front of everyone, everyone is dumbfounded, what is even more terrifying is that this script is almost perfect, there is no need to change it at all, all the pictures are also perfect, the drawing is vivid, everyone who has seen it can't help laughing, even the owner of Disney has to admit that this story is much stronger in Liu Lang's hands than in their hands。

Of course, it is much stronger than them, you must know that in the previous life, the cartoon "The Lion King" took two years just to polish the script and create the image in the early stage, and every plot and every picture has been done to the extreme, it can be said that this cartoon is the collective crystallization of hundreds of people's hard work for two years, and now it is all owned by Liu Lang alone.

Not only the script and storyboard drawing, Liu Lang also arranged most of the music of this movie for the first time, "Endless Life", "Waiting for Me to Be King", "Hurry Up", "Hakula?? Matata", "Feel My Love Tonight", the reason why Liu Lang wants to compose the songs himself is, of course, because these songs are so classic, they are all at the level of the Academy Award for Best Music, if you miss these songs, the charm of the movie will be reduced by at least thirty percent.

Liu Lang spent three days recording the song in the recording studio, and when everyone listened to it, they almost knelt down to bow to Liu Lang, and they all had a question in their hearts to ask Liu Lang: How can you let others live if you are so good?

Of course, when they ask this question, they are satisfied in their hearts, because it's all money! Before the movie is finished, you can imagine that the movie will be a big hit again.

Since last year, Shengtang Company has been producing this work, because of its rich experience, this work has taken a year to come to an end, and it will be released this Christmas, and the box office will exceed five or six hundred million US dollars, but it is likely to reach the record of nine hundred million US dollars in the previous life, after all, 3D animated films have not yet come out at that time, and there were already "Toy Story" and "Finding Nemo" before this life Two pinnacle works, this will have a certain impact on The Lion King, but even five or six billion dollars is very good, after all, the investment in this movie is only 30 million US dollars, and the yield is more than ten times.
