Tang An led a few people into the hotel, and was greeted by Bert, vice president of global distribution at Fox, Elizabeth, vice president of Columbia, and the lions.

Burt smiled, "Mr. Tang, I didn't expect you to like basketball too, but it's a pity that the NBA is in the offseason now, and there are no games for the time being." ”

Tang An nodded with everyone and said hello, "I don't know much, I just have time to take a look occasionally." ”

What happened outside just now, the people inside also knew about it.

For Tang An's threat to buy the Lakers, he just laughed it off in his heart.

Although it is almost impossible, but people have assets of 4.3 billion, and there is no problem in buying something with a valuation of 1 billion.

It's just a matter of whether you can buy it or not.

No one opened his mouth to laugh at Tang An for not understanding the rules here, and even Elizabeth kindly reminded him.

"Mr. Tang, there are many requirements for buying NBA teams, Mr. Buss was rejected by the league management when he became the owner of the Lakers, and Prokhorov was even intervened by the parliament when he bought the Nets, and it was too difficult to buy the Lakers. ”

"I don't know, thanks for the reminder. Tang An pretended to say suddenly.

Whether it's difficult or not, it's just a gimmick.

Major companies have serious things to do, and they don't dwell on them.

The fact that it was a billion-dollar deal as soon as it opened its mouth also made the executives of major companies on the scene more confident in seeking investment.

Lynn Harris, executive vice president of production at Warner Bros., was the first to speak, and she clinked a glass with Tang An.

"Mr. Tang, we at Warner will produce and distribute a large number of movies in the next three years, and at present, "Jupiter Ascending", "Secret Agent", "Peter Pan", "Heart of the Ocean", "Extreme Thief" are all popular projects in Hollywood, and many investors on Wall Street want to cooperate, if you are interested, we can accept some investment. ”

"Of course, I'm more than happy to work with you. Tang An nodded and smiled.

Zhen Nima's cheating father, all of them are big pounce films, and they can't be more miserable, they simply treat Tang An as a big wrong.

This Warner has just ended its cooperation with Legendary Pictures, and the management has changed one stubble after another, how to clean up some garbage projects.

Not only Warner, which has just lost its most powerful partner, but other companies are not much better, and basically Tang An has not heard of a few good projects.

However, Tang An did not refuse, dealt with them one by one, and said that he would find another time to send someone to talk.

During this period, Tang An also clearly expressed his desire to acquire two Hollywood film companies, and asked executives of several major companies to recommend one or two.

If you say it clearly, no one will be vigilant.

There is a precedent of boasting about the acquisition of the Lakers, and Tang An is probably regarded as a typical example of a person who is stupid and has a lot of money, after all, he is too young.

This time is different from the previous banquet, and producers, directors, screenwriters, and stars from all walks of life continue to come together.

With a net worth of $4.3 billion, the 299th richest person in the world, even if they are not from the United States, they are also very attractive.

After coping with one stubble after another, a white man immediately stepped forward again to say hello, "Hello Mr. Tang, I'm Ryan, Ryan Reynolds." ”

Deadpool's actor, Tang An nodded slightly, "Hello." ”

"Mr. Tang, I used to play Deadpool in Wolverine, and I heard that you want to invest in the movie "Deadpool", thank you so much. Ryan said with excitement on his face.

"It's still being discussed, and no decision has been made. Tang An was noncommittal, as a director, the performances of these actors could be seen through at a glance.

Ryan found a topic to talk about for a few more words, and seeing that Tang An didn't pay attention to him, he left with interest.

Coming to his friend's side, the friend immediately asked, "Ryan, how's it going?"

"I don't know, but this Mr. Tang doesn't seem to want to talk to me. Ryan shook his head, but wasn't discouraged.

"That's right, they're big shots, so I can make small talk to you, but it seems that this matter is stable, Ryan is going to star in a superhero movie alone, and you are the next Robert Downey Jr!" the friend excited.

......

Early the next morning, Tang An rushed to another hotel to meet Ma Jingzhong, chairman of SIEMIC Materials Group.

Buying a Hollywood company is not very easy to get the big boss to come over in person and see their company.

"Hello Mr. Ma. ”

Ma Jingzhong took the initiative to get up and shook Tang An's hand, "Tang Dong, I have admired my name for a long time, and in the future, Xinke will ask Tang Dong for more advice in the film and television industry." ”

Tang An smiled and said, "Mr. Ma is polite, your company is a mining giant, and it is much more practical to do the real economy than our illusory media industry." ”

Atletico sighed, "Now that the macroeconomic environment is sluggish and the development of copper mines and copper processing industries is sluggish, I want to develop new businesses." ”

Tang An nodded in understanding, otherwise Atletico Madrid would not have spent 1.1 billion to acquire a Chang'an Mengzhou, and even signed a VAM contract with a net profit of 400 million yuan for three years.

This has to be desperate to think about gambling in the film and television industry, and it can really be a big hit if you just shoot a film.

If you go to Omen, you probably have more hope than this.

A popular TV series can earn 400 million net profits from a maximum of two TV series, but how many such TV series are there in a year, and how many film and television companies are there in China.

Even the leading boss of the TV drama industry, CTI, didn't dare to pack tickets, let alone a Chang'an dream boat.

After a few small talks, I started to get to the point.

"Mr. Ma, has the midnight investment company negotiated on the side?" Tang An asked.

"It's almost over, I'm sending someone to count the asset film library, co-production and agent sales of film copyrights and IP resources, and the financial issues are also being investigated. ”

The asset appraisal and so on were all jointly participated by both parties, and the legal, financial and actuary of Hantang Media also participated.

"Midnight Investments is currently valued at about $55 million, but the company's operations and assets are very good, there are more than 200 film rights in the library, which can bring a lot of income every year, the purchase price is currently $170 million, Nicolas Châtier-centric management team wants to keep 20% of the shares, we need $136 million to buy the remaining 80% of the shares. Atletico quickly said a number.

As Tang An came up with, this number is neither high nor low, after all, there are a large number of movie copyrights in the film library, and many of them can develop sequels.

Nicolas Châtiers is a gold medal producer himself, and his management team is worth a lot of money.

At least it's a little cheaper than the 600% premium of Xinke later, not to mention the fact that "Dallas Buyers Club" will be released in November this year, which is produced by Nicolas Chartier, and invested by Midnight Investment's Lightning Entertainment and another company.

"Ma Dong, if you accept this price, then we will follow the original negotiation, Hantang Media invested 86.7 million US dollars to account for 51% of the shares, and your company invested 49.3 million US dollars to account for 29% of the shares. ”

Hantang Media must have a controlling stake, which was said when Atletico Madrid came to Tang An before, otherwise there would be other goals.

There are tens of thousands of large and small film and television companies throughout Hollywood, and there is always a suitable one.

"No problem, we can sign the contract after we have completed the evaluation. ”

Atletico Madrid has no regrets, it cost 1.1 billion to acquire Chang'an Mengzhou last month, and the funds are indeed insufficient, and they can catch up with Hantang Media, and they can also develop better in the film and television industry.

An acquisition project is negotiated verbally, and Tang An will send people from China to slowly handle the follow-up matters, and these trivial things will not be involved.

It is not uncommon for a domestic company to buy a Hollywood company, and in addition to Wanda, Fosun, one of the largest private holding groups in China with assets of nearly 300 billion yuan, will invest in a company founded by President Jeff Robinoff, who has just left the failed struggle at Warner's top level, at the beginning of next year.

Wanda, Huayi, Ahri, Kemei and other companies will acquire Hollywood companies one after another.

After talking about business, we chatted a few words.

Atletico Madrid talked about the acquisition of the Lakers that is currently being hyped, "Now Tang Dong is the enemy of the entire sports circle in the United States." ”

Tang An waved his hand and said, "The enemies in the sports circle are a bit too much, it's just that some Lakers fans are scolding me, it's all the media hype." ”

The reporter just smelled the fishy smell and went up, and now the NBA is in the offseason, and there is no big news, Tang An just got up.

Entertainment news and sports news are all reporting, Tang An has also become the enemy of all Lakers fans, and in some sports TV stations, Tang An has also become a turtle who does not know the height of the sky.

All interviews were rejected, how to fry how much you like, it is enough to have movement, and Tang An doesn't care.

However, the media hype has indirectly helped Tang An, and even the box office of "Interstellar" has grown slowly.

"Interstellar" has now received a box office of 26 million in China this week, and the total box office has also come to 1.976 billion, slowly moving towards the 2 billion mark.

Southeast Asia and Europe combined to get $23.3 million this week, and the trend is relatively stable, but it is certainly not as good as in China.

In three weeks, the total box office in Southeast Asia and Europe reached $120.6 million.

And North America, which received $19.6 million this week, brought the total box office to $85.9 million.

All markets in the world combined for a total of $46.9 million in a single week, missing out on the global weekly crown.

However, "Interstellar" has now surpassed the $500 million mark at the global box office, reaching a whopping $505.5 million!

It once again refreshed the global box office record and overseas box office record of Chinese films, and ranked eighth in the global annual box office list in 2013!

The top seven are "Iron Man 3", "Minions 2", "Vegetarian Chicken 6", "Monsters University", "Superman: Man of Steel", "Crazy Primitives", and "World War Z".

"The Wizard of Wonderland", "Star Trek", "Wolverine" and other blockbusters were pressed under him.

Although it is only the eighth place, there will be a Thanksgiving file in the second half of the year, but "Interstellar" is still in theaters, and it is very likely to maintain the top ten positions in the world at the end of the year.

This will be the first non-Hollywood film to rank in the top 10 of the annual box office in the world!
