When Zhou Yu launched the new turkey experiment, in mid-September, the crew of "Dihan" held a start-up press conference at Paramount headquarters in Hollywood. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This indicates that the film is no longer just a rumor, but is about to become a fact.

Also on this day, some practical information related to this movie was also spread throughout the ten directions through the press conference.

The initial investment of 500 million US dollars was received as early as when Xu Ke and others arrived in Los Angeles and formed the crew. The upfront investment of 500 million US dollars and the uncapped budget have caused an uproar in the film industry of the whole world!

This initial investment alone has set a new investment record in the entire film history!

Of course, this is only a longitudinal comparison.

Because of the different ages, the value of American knives naturally varies. The current 10 million dollars is not comparable to the 10 million in the 80s and 70s.

The inflationary effect has caused almost all currencies in the world to depreciate year by year.

But pay attention to these four words!

That is, 500 million is not enough, plus more. It's not enough, keep adding!

That's the most amazing thing.

There has never been such a thing in this world!

The media exclaimed: Is Paramount going to create an era of movies that only lose money and don't make money?

Many filmmakers were amazed and envious when they saw this information. For those who are interested in film art and career, cost is often a hand that holds their throat.

Regardless of the cost, many people are even confident that they can make a good movie.

Of course, there is no shortage of tones that criticize Zhou Yu.

Especially those who have made up their minds to only make money from this industry, they hate Zhou Yu deeply - some of them can't be opened. As soon as you open it, you can't take it!

They need to make money, not make a beautiful movie - the main thing is the secondary.

But for Zhou Yu, they are also helpless - how do people invest, that is people's freedom, people have money, it is your business?

Even Jian Lin could only smile bitterly - he knew that Zhou Yu's sentence that there was no limit to investment and no cap was definitely not a joke.

In this day and age, the power of money is getting bigger and bigger. You can see some signs here. Zhou Yu tore open the curtain of 'cost saving', and those filmmakers have this kind of requirement when they have to participate in films invested by other companies in the future after they have eaten the sweetness.

"Paramount is not limited to investment, don't you say to keep up with the pace, you have to relax a little, right?"

Such a tone must be a headache.

At the launch conference of the movie, the main actors went into battle together.

Emperor Wu's actor Tang Guoqiang, Wei Qing's actor Zheng Zhidan, Li Guang's actor Cheng Long, Empress Wei Zifu's actor Gong Li, Emperor Wu's Golden House Chen Ajiao's actor Fan Binbin, and even the Xiongnu Yizhi Xianshan Yu's actor Ma Jingtao, etc., and some such as the Xiongnu leaders of other tribes, these supporting roles are Hollywood star cameos - such as Johnny, such as Cage, and so on.

These are all Hollywood superstars, let them participate, although it is a cameo, but it is also by Zhou Yu's face. If you change to Xu Ke to invite yourself, I am afraid it will be difficult to find one with a broken leg.

Not to mention how rich Zhou Yu is, just Viacom, the third largest media group in the United States, is enough for these big stars to give face.

Moreover, the gimmick of this movie is big enough, even if it is a film with an oriental historical background, it is attractive to them.

This lineup can simply brighten people's eyes!

Before this, whether it was Cheng Long or one of the few other actors who could achieve something in Hollywood, although they had also cooperated with Hollywood film companies, there were not as many stars as they do now, and they were so famous.

It can be said that for the actors and filmmakers in Daxia, this opportunity is really rare.

Especially the older generation of filmmakers who have never had contact with Hollywood, this is the first time they have worked with a foreign star.

The promotion of "Emperor Han" is in full swing, and at the same time, Yuewen Group, headquartered in the magic capital, is also in a meeting.

The meeting was presided over by Wu Wenhui, CEO of Yuewen Group.

The participants included representatives of Carlisle Investment Group, representatives of Goldman Sachs, a vice president of the holding company Transcription, and a number of other investors who have seats on the board of directors, as well as the heads of many subsidiaries of Yuewen, including a certain point, a certain creation, Xiaoxiang, Novel Reading, Yunqi, Hongxiu and other subsidiaries.

When everyone arrived, Wu Wenhui stood at the front of the long table and began to speak.

"This time, I invite everyone to come to the meeting, and there is only one topic."

Wu Wenhui said: "But before discussing the topic, let's first ask Vice President Zhang to speak. ”

Zhang Zhidong, who was the first on the left hand, stood up, bowed slightly to everyone, and waited until all eyes were focused on him before he spoke: "What I want to say is the content of today's meeting. ”

"Three days ago, the Transcription Board received a fax from the American CAMC company."

"The content of this fax is in the document in front of you. CAMC made a US$1 billion offer to Transcription to acquire its stake in Yuewen Group. ”

When Zhang Zhidong said this, his eyes fell on Carlisle and Gao Sheng's representatives opposite.

The two bowed slightly, and the representative of Goldman Sachs said: "Yes, CAMC has also made an offer to us to acquire the equity of Yuewen Group in our hands. ”

"Therefore, the topic this time is Yuewen Group, where to go."

After Zhang Zhidong finished speaking, he sat down.

Wu Wenhui stood up again and said, "Transcription Group owns 80 percent of the equity of Yuewen Group, plus a part of Goldman Sachs and Carlisle's respective companies, it has exceeded 90 percent. If the acquisition is successful, then we Yuewen Group will change owners. ”

"Now, please speak freely and share your opinions. Where do we go from here? ”

Wu Wenhui sat down.

One of them raised his hand and stood up: "I want to ask first, what is the opinion of Transcript, Carlisle and Goldman Sachs?" Vice President Zhang, as well as Mr. Amway and Mr. Calus, what do you think? Has it been decided to sell the equity? ”

"Let's not talk about that." Zhang Zhidong smiled and said, "We need to listen to your management. ”

When the man heard this, he frowned slightly, and said, "Then the second question, what is the origin of this CAMC company?" ”

That's a question to the point. The rest of the people pricked up their ears.

"CAMC Company..."The corner of Goldman Sachs' representative trembled slightly, and he said: "This is a newly established asset management and investment company this year, which owns a part of the shares of the world-class arms companies Lockheed and Northrop, a part of the shares of the high-tech company Space Exploration Technology Company, as well as a majority of the shares of the California St. Mary's Fruit Company and the Xiangjiang United Fruit Trading Company, and a 51 percent stake in Viacom, the third largest media group in the United States. ”

Arms companies? A high-tech company? Fruit company? Media conglomerate?

Hearing this information, many people at the meeting pondered and groaned - this is clear, this is not a small company!

And the representative of Goldman Sachs has not finished speaking: "The president of this company is the daughter of the chairman of Bank of America, the largest commercial bank in North America, Ms. Christina. And behind this lady, there is another person that we Goldman Sachs, or the capitalists in the whole of America, pay special attention to, this person is a Chinese, maybe you know him. ”

"The Chinese who make the capitalists of the United States pay attention?"

Quite a few people's eyes widened.

"Some people may have guessed," the representative of Goldman Sachs said slowly: "Zhou Yu, Chinese, 21 years old this year, the founder of the world's most high-end fruit brand Yuyin Fruit, was the 21st super-rich person on the Forbes list last year." ”

He paused: "Now the media is hotly hyped, not counting the investment ceiling, the investor of the film with the history of Daxia as the background, of course, Paramount is also his." ”

Now, everyone knows!

"It turned out to be him!"

Many people have moved their minds.

This is a veritable tycoon, just like this movie, the courage to spend money is simply blinding!

Loser?

Generous! Heroism!

And young!

"I don't know what the purpose of this acquisition of Yuewen Group is... If we can support us as strongly as he did in making movies, I think it would be a good thing. ”

"Don't you see? The people from Transcription, Carlisle and Goldman Sachs are here, and the meaning is clear. ”

"Eighty percent of the time, they've already decided to sell Yuewen. If you don't want to, you won't come at all, and you won't call us to a meeting, so just refuse? ”

"Right!"

A cadre of people exchanged heads and buzzed to discuss.

After a while, seeing that their respective opinions were almost exchanged, Wu Wenhui spoke: "After the CAMC company sent a fax to the transcription, it also had some simple exchanges with me. They pledged to strongly support the development of Yuewen Group. ”

Speaking of this, he set his eyes on Zhang Zhidong.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Zhang Zhidong's eyes - Yuewen Group is a relatively successful investment, and it has been profitable until now.

If, according to his own opinion, he was not willing to sell that part of the equity.

But it's a pity that he didn't have the final say in the transcription, and even to a certain extent, Ma Huateng didn't say it.

In equity transactions, the investment companies with European and American backgrounds behind them can play a decisive role.

Since those investment companies have spoken, unless Ma Huateng is willing to offend the investment company in one fell swoop in order to keep Yuewen, and add a Chinese super-rich man, he has no way to disagree.

Besides, people pay money with one hand and deliver goods with one hand, a lot of money, so they don't owe money! A billion dollars, not less!

The value of the entire Yuewen Group, when it was first established last year, was about 50 to 6 billion Daxia coins. Now at the maximum bottom line valuation, even if it is 7 billion, when converted into American knives, it is only a little over 1 billion. And 80% of the equity owned by Transcription has been sold for one billion US dollars, which is already a lot of premium.

"Mr. Ma decided to sell the equity of Yuewen Group." Zhang Zhidong spoke: "Since everyone has no objections, then, this matter is decided." ”

He didn't want to say more, so he sat down. (To be continued.) )
