Chapter 0490 Night Talk, Invest in Lucas
"Ah Xing, tell me, how much confidence you have in that "Star Wars", 30 million US dollars, 150 million Hong Kong dollars, how dare you......"
It's just, it's crazy,
In the Holiday Inn suite on Wilshire Avenue in Beverly Hills, Tang Shuxuan, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, only felt that the little boy in front of him was really crazy.
That's 30 million dollars, not 30,000 or 300,000.
This, this is really completely unreasonable.
Invest $30 million to make a movie, and the box office must sell at least $100 million to protect the capital.
With such a big investment risk, what a pity it would be if you lose money at that time? Not to mention that it is still a line built by yourself, how should you deal with yourself at that time?
"If I follow you, I will invest 30 million now, and I can make billions when I turn back, what do you think?"
Li Wenxing, who was also sitting on the sofa, looked at Tang Shuxuan, who had been a god since he came back, rather helplessly, as for making such a fuss?
Although, although in terms of the current situation of the film industry, investing so much money to make a movie is indeed a bit of a luxury,
But we can't help it, don't shake Lucas so much, don't take money to smash him unconscious, how can I pry him and persuade him to come back?
Don't fight, although the other party is an artist, he is also a businessman, and he also has the characteristics of a capitalist who cannot afford to make a profit early and is mercenary......
"Billions? Why? How is it possible?"
Billions? Are you sure it's not 10,000,000 millions? What are you talking about? I'm afraid it's not crazy to think about money?
Tang Shuxuan really didn't understand this time, how could he say that it was more mysterious? Who gave you confidence?
"Don't be excited, don't be excited, listen to me analyze ...... with you slowly"
Seeing that Tang Shuxuan had heard his words, the whole person became excited, and looked at himself like a fool,
Li Wenxing was helpless and speechless, why? How do I know why?
Anyway, I didn't like this movie very much back then, but people just sold it, what can I do?
"Sister Tang knows the model of "Xun Qin"? That is, the mode of simultaneous operation of all entertainment copyrights, the same idea, used for the development of different entertainment fields,
Hollywood has been using this model for a long time, but it's not comprehensive enough, and Disney is one of them, but it still needs to license some of the rights to others.
"Star Wars" is a creative story with more development value than "Xun Qin", the latter also has obvious congenital shortcomings, it is difficult to integrate with the West, this is a cultural barrier, the former does not exist at all.
"Star Wars" is also another "Transformers", and even more valuable than "Transformers", because the story background of the latter is not grand enough.
In fact, it is a bit premature to shoot "Star Wars" now, the shooting equipment is not advanced enough, and the special effects technology is not mature enough, which will limit the sci-fi charm of this movie.
To put it bluntly, with the current conditions, the things that come out will not be too gorgeous, and they must not be cool enough. Condense it into one photo, and the photo won't be too clear.
But there are also benefits, it is the first sci-fi masterpiece, its appearance, will redefine the framework of sci-fi films, it will become a pioneer, a milestone, just like the gangster theme of "The Godfather", later people can only follow the trend, it is difficult to surpass.
The development value of "Star Wars" is not only limited to its movie box office, but also the potential value of comics, toys and other copyrights.
Take "Transformers" as an example, only comics and toys, last year, it earned 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
How big is Xiangjiang? The local market of rice is dozens of times that of Xiangjiang, but what about the global market?
"Star Wars" is obviously a series of stories, which means that as long as you don't die, don't do nonsense, and develop it well, it can be like "007", keep shooting, and eat this one idea for decades.
That's why I'm willing to spend a lot of money, and even be honest and honest.
Lucas is very smart, he knows the value of "Star Wars" very well, and he won't let go of the copyright, no matter how I hide it, I won't get the copyright in the end.
So I can only show that I am optimistic about it, I am willing to invest heavily in it, and then I encourage him to know that he is not prepared enough, he is not strong enough, he has received too little help, and he needs my investment very much.
Actually, I don't just want to invest in Star Wars, I want to invest in Lucas's private film company, including his film special effects studio.
Believe me, investing in "Star Wars" is worth the money, and investing in Lucas, it will not be a loss, but I know that he has other good scripts in his hands, and the value is no worse than "Star Wars". ”
Honest, see honesty, so honest that even the old bottom was exposed to Tang Shuxuan.
However, Li Wenxing has no fear, so what if he shows it to the other party? Tang Shuxuan will never harm his good deeds.
Not only that, but maybe he can also give him advice.
Moreover, he needs Tang Shuxuan's help now, whether it is to help him make eyeliner, to probe Lucas's next reaction, dynamics,
You must know that in the evening, although the conversation between the two sides after meeting was very pleasant, it was only small talk, plus he explained his intentions, but the other side did not give any response.
Then in the next period of time, there needs to be such a person to act as an intermediary for each other, so as to reserve a buffer space for the negotiation between the two parties.
In this way, whether it is rejected by the other party, or after the other party agrees to cooperate with the two parties, and there are differences in the negotiation process, they will not fall into a dead end all at once.
And if you want Tang Shuxuan to be a good middleman, you must make her deeply aware of her sincerity to this cooperation and her determination to 'swear to the death'.
Otherwise, if deep down in her heart, she has no confidence in this cooperation, does not think so, does not approve, and has doubts about this cooperation, then when it is time for her to play a role, she is hesitant and undecided, and she does not strive for what she should strive for, and she does not work hard to put it in place, but it will be a tragedy.
"I'll say as much as I want, and next, I hope that Sister Tang can do her best.
Here are my three strategies, three goals:
The first thing is to directly invest in Lucasfilm and all the subsidiaries under his name, as long as he is willing to accept the shares, he dares to make an offer, I dare to give money;
The second is to add to the development of this "Star Wars", movies, comics, toys, peripherals, the development of all copyrights, and get as much as you can.
In the end, even if the first two goals are not achieved, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with Lucas and wait for his next work.
Of course, my money is not blowing in the wind, and I should use the least amount of money to strive for the greatest benefits. ”
The picture is poor, the ultimate goal.
Li Wenxing admitted that his own appetite is indeed a bit big, and he even delusionally wants to buy out Lucas's future filmmaker career directly.
It's no wonder that Lucas is too powerful, before Lucas goes downhill, its own commercial value, even if it invests more, is definitely not a loss.
