Chapter 147: Total Annexation of Marvel!
Shao Gong and his entourage returned to Austin on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and it was already past the Chinatown New Year's Eve activities, and they came back on a Sunday night, and they could go to work in the company the next day, which was also a good time for him.
After dinner, Ximen Yan, who ate an ice cream, led Liu Yifei's mother and daughter back to rest, and Li Yong also led his girlfriend back to the villa to get married, but Shaogong went to the attic of the villa by himself, where he drew comics and wrote, his comics were drawn every day, and he couldn't quit if he wanted to. It has been updated every day, with a minimum of one update and a maximum of three changes.
After twelve o'clock, suddenly a gust of wind blew in the window, and a blood-red flower suddenly appeared in the void, and then the flower slowly formed a person's phantom, and a woman's voice came out of the phantom: "Master, Marvel is in contact with the Walt Disney Company, and it is said that Marvel is going to sell the company." It's just that Marvel is asking for $4.5 billion, Disney can't eat it, and the two sides are bargaining. As for several other companies, when they heard the price of $4.5 billion, they also closed their doors. At present, those who can have the strength to eat Marvel, except for Menghang, only the six old Hollywood companies, and the rest of the companies do not have this strength. ”
"Good. ”
Shao Gong didn't reply: "Gather a few resentful spirits in the territory of the magnesium country, and ask them to go to the homes of Disney's high-level executives to toss hard, especially those high-level executives who agree to buy Marvel and take charge of real power, and it doesn't matter if you kill a few if necessary." Anyway, I don't want Disney to bother with Marvel. ”
"Understood. ”
The phantom said respectfully: "It's no secret that the six old Hollywood companies want to deal with you, because the undertaker and the killer group have added the bounty amount before, and your amount is now ranked first on the world bounty list, with a total of 200 million US dollars. ”
"Hehe, 200 million, what a big deal! If I didn't have the ability to break my head and be reborn, I would have wanted to cut off my head in exchange for that bounty. ”
Shao Gong smiled: "Let's go first, and I'll report it when I have more useful news." ”
"Yes. ”
The phantom bowed down to receive the order, disappeared in the void in an instant, and directly turned into a gust of yin wind and flew out of the window. And Shao Gong flicked his fingers, and a finger sounded, so that Ximen Yan, who was staring at the gust of wind, instantly stopped pursuing, she looked at the window, and returned to the villa with a 'cut' in her mouth.
"Marvel, I'm going to dream of it. ”
Shao Gong smiled, because he has a script for Spider-Man here, so Marvel only filmed the X-Men trilogy and Wolverine two-part in his early years, although the reputation is good and the box office is considerable, but no works have come out since then, which is not ideal with DC picking up Superman's remake, but DC can still hold on, but Marvel is a little unable to hold on.
In fact, even if Marvel filmed the Spider-Man trilogy, they were going to sell the company in 2009, which is the general trend, like the financial turmoil, and they can't hide if they want to.
As long as Menghang can win Marvel, it is equivalent to controlling Marvel, then Menghang can start filming superhero movies, and make many films in a row, so that the name of Marvel can be resurrected again and earn greater benefits. But Marvel's price is 4.5 billion US dollars, and Menghang's latest three movies have earned 2.1 billion US dollars.
If there is no reservation, Menghang's branch in the magnesium country is now only 4.6 billion US dollars at most, of course, this does not include the money earned by domestic Menghang, Menghang Cinema Line, and secret means, but he does not plan to move the money of these three parties. However, with the unreserved acquisition of Marvel, the magnesium country branch will almost fall into the point of running out of ammunition, but he has made a shooting plan for the Menghang branch, and those shots will cost at least 600 million US dollars, and he will not be able to use the money of the three parties if he buys them all.
"No, four billion at most, leaving $600 million at the bottom, and if Marvel doesn't agree, then use abnormal means to get them to agree. In short, Marvel must be won, and no one can stop it. ”
Shao Gong muttered in his heart, his eyes flashed, and he didn't even know that the brush in his hand was broken.
And Ximen Yan just opened the door after going back, and suddenly heard a slight sound again, she peeked and saw that Liu Yifei's room suddenly opened a crack, Liu Yifei walked out in a flash, tiptoeing like a cat towards the corridor leading to Shaogong's villa.
These three villas all have corridors, usually the door is not locked, you can go through with a twist of the handle, Ximen Yan's room is in this corridor.
Liu Yifei walked very carefully in cute pajamas, but when she saw that she could go to the porch door leading to Shaogong's villa through only one more door, the door next to her suddenly opened, and a cold voice blew instantly like a cold wind on a snowy mountain: "Where are you going so late?"
"This, this??"
Looking at Ximen Yan, who was leaning against the door, looking at herself vigilantly, Liu Yifei felt quite embarrassed, so she had to be powerless to explain: "I ate too much salad for dinner, and now I am hungry, and I want to go to Shaogong's kitchen to find something to eat." By the way, my sister only had some ice cream for dinner, aren't you hungry?"
"In order to stay in shape, I can't do anything about being hungry. ”
Ximen Yan made an excuse for herself, looked at her and said, "You go back first, I'll get you food, and then send you to your room." "She is not Liu Jing, Liu Jing and Liu Yifei are classmates, she is not, she is just a bodyguard and assistant hired by Shaogong, and if there is no appointment, she has the responsibility to block it back.
So after Liu Yifei was deflated here at Ximenyan, she had no choice but to go back to the room. She is not hungry, as long as she wants to see Shaogong and talk to him, because she knows that Shaogong must not be asleep now, and that guy has no time to rest until two or three o'clock in the morning, this is the law of his life, and he has been like this all these years.
"It's hot for you, let's eat!"
Looking at a glass of milk and a steak on the bedside table, Liu Yifei wanted to cry without tears, if she ate it, how many catties of meat would she have to grow?
On the second day, Shao Gong asked the housekeeper to take care of Liu Yifei's mother and daughter, and then took the old and new duo to the company.
Ye Xuan's parents bought her a villa in Austin, and also arranged for housekeepers, since she signed Ye Xuan, she was responsible for her personal safety, so Menghang equipped her with bodyguards.
In the conference room, Shao Gong introduced the new assistant to the president and the newly signed Ye Xuan, and then arranged the next shooting plan.
The first movie is "Changing Face", the male protagonist is still Nicolas Cage, last year's "Air Prison" in which John Woo participated has accumulated enough magnesium country-style shooting experience, and it is now just the right to take the lead, and this face changing can be said to be the most suitable for him to practice.
Next are two sea movies, "Deep Sea Shark" and "Extreme Deep Cold", also known as the sea monster, the doctor in the deep sea shark and the red-dressed heroine in the extreme deep cold, Shao Gong arranged Ye Xuan to star.
The fourth is "The Disaster of the Python" and "Van Helsing", the heroine of the Python Disaster is Ye Xuan, the male protagonist of Van Helsing is Leonardo, and the female protagonist is Amber.
The next two are big productions, namely "The Matrix" and "Inception", the male protagonist is Leonardo, and the female protagonist is Liu Jing.
In Shaogong's mind, it is the most ridiculous that a female star does not know martial arts, so he wants to train Liu Jing to become a generation of female stars in the magnesium country branch, and make Ye Xuan a monster queen.
The filming plan is the fantasy theme "Pirates of the Caribbean", the two male protagonists are Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, and the female protagonist is Amber.
The reason why the reservation plan is left is because if the Dream Airlines Division acquires Marvel, the remaining money can only be used to let the major crews start work, and the crews that are completed first will be the first to enter post-production, and after completion, they can get the theater to grab money, and if they earn money, they will use it to spread the crew after that, so that the major crews will not be forced to stop production due to lack of funds.
Seven shooting plans, one retention plan, and eight films, it will take at least one year to complete the shooting, and half a year to complete the post-production, which is still a time estimate made by giving priority to the films that are shot first, which also indicates that in the next year and a half, the Magnesium Dream Airlines branch will enter the wheel mode, and every staff member will be very busy.
Just when everyone thought that Shaogong was going to die down, he sighed and said to Li Yong: "Brother Yong, let the country transfer 100 million US dollars." With that, he released two more animation productions, "Ice Age" and "Robot Story", each with a production budget of 50 million US dollars.
If the eight films of science fiction, adventure, fantasy, gunfight, and magic are showing their spears to the five old Hollywood companies, these two animation productions are undoubtedly showing their fangs to Disney. But Shao Gong has to do this, those people secretly buy their own heads, if they don't show their means, those people really think he is easy to bully.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although the predecessor of the Magnesium Dream Airlines Branch, Wright Company, can be said to be a success and a failure of animation, but our company's animation and special effects technology is undoubtedly one of the best among the six old Hollywood companies, and the animation department is currently producing two feature-length animations, "Slam Dunk" and "One Piece", but just like this, I will not be reconciled, our goal is an animated movie, and we are not what we used to be, so I am confident that we will regain what we lost before. ”
Shao Gong looked around, and the momentum on his body was fierce and domineering: "This is the production plan of the Magnesium Country Dream Aviation Branch in the next two years, and once the work is formulated, any unexpected factors cannot stop our shooting, so everyone must go all out, understand?"
“OK,BOSS!”
The magnesium country is not like Asia, the Asian name Shaogong has always been the president of Ouyang, and the name of the magnesium country for him is: BOSS. In the past two years, the prestige of how much Gong has been in the company is simply Lao Tzu is your king, your emperor, and he has indeed achieved the export order, and the people are simply obedient to the emperor for this boss who led them from the trough all the way to glory.
In addition, there are a lot of animation and stunt production students transferred by Dream Airlines in China, if they don't have a job, how can they learn experience and technology from these guys.
As the tasks were assigned, the heads of departments also left the conference room, and only Kevin Wright remained. Because he knew that Shao Gong must have extra work for him.
Seeing Kevin staying, Shao Gong said, "Sure enough, you still understand me." ”
"Of course, I'm the vice president of the company, not the supervisor, and I know I definitely have extra work. ”
Kevin smiled and lit a cigar for Shao Gong, and then lit one himself, and after the two took two puffs, Kevin asked, "Say! What kind of work?"
"I heard that Marvel is going to sell the company, I hope you will come forward to negotiate with them, and we will take Marvel from Menghang. ”
"What?"
Kevin exclaimed: "The other party is offering $4.5 billion." If we had used the company's money to buy Marvel, the rest of the shooting would have to be discontinued. And I have a stake with Oudian, and the company needs to give us our fair share. You're going to take almost all of your money, and while I know you have a good reason to buy Euro One Cinema, I'm sure I'll support you. But Baran of Oudian, have you asked him?"
"You tell him about my plans, and I don't think he would object to it if he was smart. ”
Balang is his believer, not to mention that there are unwarranted pills, the fat man will never dare to disobey Shaogong's orders.
"Okay!"
Kevin waved his hand helplessly: "I'll go and talk to Balang." ”
"Even though we're going to buy Marvel, we're only going to pay $4 billion at most, not a penny more. I naturally have my good reasons, and since you know me, then I won't say more. ”
Looking at Kevin's somewhat bitter expression, Shao Gong smiled: "That's why you need to negotiate with them, the acquisition negotiation is a bargaining negotiation, not a consensus can be reached after meeting a few times, hello, hello, everyone." It's going to take a long time to get into a verbal fight, so if you play with it, Marvel has to pay me four billion dollars. ”
"Well, I'll do my best. ”
Speaking of this, Kevin suddenly emphasized his tone, looked at Shao Gong's increasingly aggressive eyes, and hurriedly changed his words: "I promise with my life that as long as I don't die, Marvel will belong to the Menghang branch." ”
"Very good, the vice president of our Menghang branch needs to have this spirit of fighting with his life, go!"
"Then I'm leaving. ”
Kevin stood up and left, but when he was about to leave the door, he suddenly said: "One hundred and twenty martial arts gyms in the United States have challenged you, their hall owners are currently in Austin, and they have also established a ring in the music park, they called me last night and said that they already knew that you were back, although the undertaker you defeated, but these? But don't worry, although those hall owners belong to different schools, but there is no Huaxia hall master, it seems that the martial arts people in Huaxia are still quite united outside." ”
"Don't worry, those who jump out are all scum, and I'll make them all obey. ”
Shao Gong licked his lips and showed a demonic smile, Kevin looked at this smile, and touched his rib that had been injured, and suddenly felt pain again.
