Chapter 1083: A Trip to the United States (Continued 4)
A wealthy man on the other side of the ocean, who wrote, directed, and acted in a movie work, actually got a box office of 800 million!
In Mark it sounds almost like a myth.
He couldn't help but ask, "Really, how old is this rich man, how much does he invest in movies?"
"What am I lying to you for?"
Benjamin laughed and patiently explained: "This rich gentleman is only 30 years old this year, his film is said to have invested only $50 million, and he also owns a film company called DreamWorks." ”
Mark was speechless.
Although he belongs to the technical nerd, he buries his head in the studio all day to engage in his own creative research, and his ears do not listen to what is going on outside the window, but in the circle, how can he not understand what Benjamin wants to express.
The cost of $50 million and the box office of 800 million are dazzling success examples in Hollywood.
Who would dare to despise such a figure?
You must know that the cost of "Starry Sky Danger", which Rubik's Cube Studio participated in last year, was several times more expensive, and the box office was not as good!
Seeing that Mark was speechless, Benjamin smiled proudly and said, "As far as I know, this rich gentleman has a net worth of more than 10 billion, do you know why he came to visit our studio?"
Mark was stunned and asked, "Why?"
His IQ is all focused on technology, and his emotional intelligence in business is a mess, but there's nothing wrong with giving Mr. Benjamin a simple sneer.
Benjamin smiled brightly: "I'm also curious about this question, especially when I know that the special effects of that 800 million box office movie were digitally powered to help DreamWorks do it, and I am even more strange." ”
Digital Power is a well-known special effects production company in Hollywood, which has participated in the special effects production of many Hollywood blockbusters and won many Academy Awards in the technical category.
Compared with digital power, the Rubik's Cube Studio is much worse in terms of strength and fame and influence.
There is a question here, DreamWorks and Digital Power have a very successful precedent for cooperation, so why did Luo Kai, as the boss of DreamWorks, come to visit the Rubik's Cube Studio?
You can't be here to show off your success, right?
"So I did some research through the folks at Fox..."
Benjamin said proudly: "It turns out that our rich man is going to shoot a science fiction film!"
Mark immediately understood: "He took a fancy to our strength in sci-fi special effects!"
"That's right!"
Benjamin patted his friend on the shoulder and said excitedly, "Man, here's our chance to make a fortune!"
There are quite a lot of large and small special effects companies in Hollywood, with uneven levels of strength and technology, and there are many well-known large companies, and these large companies often have their own areas of expertise, or style bias.
For example, digital power is the best at military and action special effects, and Silver Diamond Studio is the leader in the field of fantasy and magic, of course, there are all-round, but it is the top existence in the industry.
The Rubik's Cube studio is relatively focused on the production of special effects for sci-fi films, and they have not only accumulated considerable experience in this area, but also developed special software, so they were able to win the production of "Starry Sky".
Fox Films also took a fancy to the strength of the Rubik's Cube Studio in this regard, so it invested in the shares.
However, compared to Benjamin's excitement, Mark scratched his head: "But we already have a project to work on this year, where is there enough manpower to open a new project?"
Because of the success of "Starry Sky Danger", the Rubik's Cube Studio got a new business at the beginning of the year, at least in the past half a year, it has to put all the elite soldiers into it, and there is no room to start another game.
How can you make a fortune? It is impossible to break the contract, right? If you fight a lawsuit, you will have to pay for death!
"You're stupid!"
Benjamin looked at Mark with eyes that hated iron and steel, and said, "We can recruit more if we don't have enough manpower, and we can also pull a group of interns from the school to come over and buy a new batch of equipment." ”
"Mark, haven't you always wanted to buy a few of IBM's latest graphics workstations? As long as this deal is negotiated, I'll buy you another ten!"
For a tech nerd, there's nothing more nerve-stimulating than buying a new device, and Mark's eyes lit up and he almost patted his chest: "Say, what do you want me to do?"
"It's simple..."
Benjamin smiled and said, "Let our guests get a good look at the technical prowess of our studio, show them your best work, and make them willingly pull the money out of their pockets!"
Mark replied without thinking, "No problem, I'll do whatever you say!"
His mind is full of his favorite IBM workstations, one, two, three... Ten units!
Compared with the simplicity of Mark's tech nerd, Benjamin, as the CEO of Rubik's Cube Studio, has an attractive dollar and a bright future flying in his mind.
In his opinion, Luo Kai's visit is simply a pie in the sky, a dream opportunity.
Who doesn't know that the Chinese people are wealthy, and those Chinese tourists who come to the United States are the most willing to spend money, and the other party is a billionaire, who just needs the technical ability of the Rubik's Cube Studio.
If you don't take the opportunity to stab him, Benjamin feels sorry for himself!
He has already thought about it, first coax Luo Kai to be happy, and then dig up a sum of money from Luo Kai to expand the scale of the studio, the cooperative project must be done, but it has to be completed little by little...
Benjamin didn't have the guts to pit any Hollywood studio, but his peers on the other side of the ocean did not have the slightest psychological pressure, and behind him stood Fox Films.
Fox Films must be happy to see this, after all, "Starry Sky" failed miserably in Huaxia under the other party's film, and it was just to take revenge by his hand.
As for the lawsuit or something, Benjamin is not worried at all, the shrewd Harvey will make the contract perfect, and guarantee a 100% victory in the local court in Los Angeles...
Thinking of the smugness, Benjamin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Click!
At this time, there was a knock on the office door.
Benjamin immediately restrained his smile, raised his hand to adjust his tie, coughed and said, "Come in." ”
It was his secretary Susan who knocked on the door and entered: "Boss, our guests are coming soon." ”
Benjamin nodded: "Well, got it." ”
He winked at Mark and said, "Mark, let's go, let's go and greet the guests together." ”
With Mark with him, Benjamin hurried out of the office, and before he saw the visitor, his face was already full of warm smiles.
