At the same time, negotiations with Hasbro also paid off, with the family studio finally giving up "Special Forces", but "Transformers" was successfully won by a deep-pocketed negotiation team, and also obtained the co-development rights of toy peripherals.

Because at this time, Transformers toys and Hasbro are concerned, in fact, profits have been decreasing year by year, and novelty toys are emerging in an endless stream. If we don't find a way out from other places, we may be completely reduced to the dustbin of history in a few years.

Working with Hollywood is the best option.

Family Pictures has also made a commitment to immediately start creating the first live-action "Transformers" movie, with an investment of 100 million yuan. Rival DreamWorks is also on an attractive footing role, making live-action films, and they are undoubtedly more convincing than family studios in the filmmaking industry.

But DreamWorks also has disadvantages, three shareholders, the interests of the issue must be carefully calculated, it is impossible to be as one-sided as Hu Yifei. They bargained too hard, thinking that with Spielberg's name, they could easily win over the project, but they underestimated the allure of the oily dollar of Chiguoguo, and in the end, Hasbro still fell to the family studios.

The incident did not attract much media attention, and only a small number of media reported on it.

After winning the adaptation rights, Hu Yifei immediately gave a new task to the digital field, putting the live-action movie "Transformers" in the first place for research.

For this reason, Hu Yifei specially delayed the filming work for a few days, and also returned to the United States to arrange the task.

The live-action version of "Transformers" is undoubtedly the first heavyweight challenge in the digital field after changing owners. Many people are grateful to Hu Yifei for not making any layoffs after taking over the company, and they are grateful and friendly to him.

It's not the first time I've come to the digital realm, but I've changed my identity twice. The previous time it was deserted, only James Cameron was accompanied, but this time there was no James Cameron, but there were a number of company executives and technical directors.

"You must all be familiar with Transformers, and some of you have worked on them before. Now, naturally, the live-action version of "Transformers" will not only require the simple transformation of the cartoon. I ask you to give the various Transformers inside a makeover from their original appearance. ”

"For example, Optimus Prime's current shape is a bit earthy, a little more majestic, and a little more grandiose! The other Autobots are nowhere near as domineering as the mad Transformers, and I need you to improve on that. The audience wants to see the real car transformation process on the big screen, although it is impossible to expect that each module can really be transformed, but it also needs to make people feel the shock. ”

Hu Yifei's mouth kept saying a word of request.

These special effects directors listened and had a feeling that big trouble was coming.

The birth of a Transformer can be roughly divided into seven steps, conceptual design, mechanical setting, drawing the internal mechanical skeleton and external armor, as well as preliminary attempts at three-dimensional transformation, deepening the Transformers design to the point where it is close to completion, detailed modification and polishing, head design, and three-dimensional design by the members of the model team. Take Optimus Prime as an example, which currently has a total of 10,108 parts, 1.8 million polygon faces, and 2,000 texture textures. Trying to improve it is definitely a huge project that involves the whole body.

However, everybody feels incomparably excited, and there is money to be made when there is a job, isn't it?

Finally, Hu Yifei said: "This time, I will set you a new rule, as long as this "Transformers" can be sold globally, in my digital field company, it will participate in box office dividends!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately cheered and was ecstatic. Can the special effects industry finally participate in box office dividends?

Although it was just a leak from Hu Yifei's pocket, it was enough for them to see the infinite possibilities. If the previous digital field could participate in various large dividends, it would not be reduced to the situation of seeking financing everywhere to solve the problem of survival.

……

After leaving the digital field, Hu Yifei still wanted to find James Cameron, but learned that he had already taken the team out to step on the spot.

He called James Cameron, who also congratulated him on winning the digital realm.

Hu Yifei warmly invited him to return to the digital field and promised part of the equity. He doesn't need to manage the company, he just needs to continue to be at the helm and research on special effects, and he will continue to study 3D shooting technology.

The digital field is James Cameron's original effort, although there is a gap between them, but now the digital field has become Hu Yifei's, isn't it. He couldn't just watch it sink, he would definitely be touched. did not agree to Hu Yifei's invitation, only said that he needed to think about it.

Hu Yifei didn't urge, and said: "If you want to find a fantasy landscape, I suggest you go to Zhangjiajie, China, and maybe you will get a harvest." ”

"China? I will go and thank you for the suggestion Galen. ”

……

The digital field has come to an end for the time being, and compared to the crazy acquisitions of the Japanese in the United States during the period when the yen was soaring, and even the acquisition of Columbia after graduation, it is not a big deal.

But when it comes to Hu Yifei's third big move this year, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Family Pictures has unknowingly completed the acquisition of bulk shares in the Marvel market, accounting for 18% of the shares, and Hu Yifei has become the company's largest individual shareholder. And based on this, it officially issued an acquisition offer to the entire Marvel company.

The important thing is not the acquisition offer, there are companies being bought every day in the United States, who can manage so much.

The important thing is that the price of family pictures alone this time is a sky-high price of 1.5 billion US dollars, and it is cash, and the payment can be completed as soon as the deal is completed, which is the focus of media attention.

What is the wealth and wealth, this is the wealth and the wealth!

There are many billion-dollar billionaires in the United States, but there are not many billionaires who have billions of dollars in cash at any time. Such a crazy performance gives people the feeling that his money is not money at all.

Maybe Hu Yifei was too generous, which actually attracted several Marvel shareholders to be greedy and want to ask for more, and the two sides entered the stage of bargaining. Some don't want to sell, some want more, some wait and see, and some are indignant and swear to defend Marvel's sovereignty to the death. Even these employees formed a march against Marvel's takeover by a Chinese company.

But they are undoubtedly the most shareless group of people, although they are sincerely commendable, but there is nothing they can do.

Some professionals pointed out that Marvel completed the acquisition, and the final transaction price may exceed $2 billion. Hu Yifei has just acquired the digital field, and he has spent hundreds of millions of dollars, to say the least. He also has a massive investment of nearly a billion dollars in China, and also invests a huge amount of money to make a science fiction movie, so how much money is left of the money he earned last year, and does he still have that much cash?

What kind of confidence does it have to make a $1.5 billion cash acquisition offer to Marvel?

There is no airtight strong in the world, and a piece of gossip suddenly attracted the attention of the media.

Scarlett Johansson has taken over media mogul Murdoch's top luxury villa worth hundreds of millions in Beverly Hills, which is said to have been sold for just one dollar. The tax department has also intervened in the investigation to find out whether there is any problem of tax evasion and evasion. (To be continued.) )
