"This ...... Harry?" Sloane's expression suddenly became extremely embarrassed, and he looked at Han Quanyou, looking very hesitant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What, is there something wrong, didn't you just say that Hasbro is willing to sell the ownership of Transformers?" See Harry? Sloan suddenly became hesitant, and Han Quanyou couldn't help but be anxious, could it be that Harry just now? Sloan is playing tricks on himself, hanging his appetite. Thinking of this, Han Quanyou couldn't help frowning, and his anger began to burn.
"This is true, Hasbro really doesn't care much about the Transformers model, after all, Hasbro has a lot of toys, and we are willing to spend money to buy them, and of course Hasbro is willing to sell them." Seeing Han Kwonwoo's reaction, Harry? Sloan knew that Han Quanyou was a little angry, and couldn't help but explain in a hurry.
"Since that's the case, then what are you hesitating about, what are you going to buy, you have to buy it, you have to buy it, you can buy it as soon as the meeting is over, you can not bargain, and strive to sign the contract when you have dinner tonight."
Seeing a little embarrassed Harry? Sloan, this also makes Jason on the side? Cruise couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, although the two usually disagree, but in general, it was all for MGM Pictures.
See Harry? Sloane looks so embarrassed now, Jason? Cruise was also a little unbearable, sighed and said: "Actually, the main reason is that we don't have enough funds to buy it now. ”
Speaking of which, Jason? Cruise's expression changed, and eventually he became very ashamed and embarrassed. Yes, the dignified eight major Hollywood film companies, in terms of history and trophies have been honored, is the first of the eight major Hollywood film companies, MGM Pictures. Now that it has fallen to this point, even the ownership of the toy model cannot be taken for more than 10 million dollars, which also makes Jason, as the vice chairman? Cruise was ashamed.
Yes, MGM Pictures has such a deep heritage, with countless honors and fame, and now it has become like this, all because of the lack of ability of senior managers like themselves.
Although I felt very embarrassed and ashamed, I seemed to feel a little surprised and sarcastic when I saw Han Quanyou who was stunned, Jason? Cruise couldn't help but complain and said: "Besides, every money is important to MGM Pictures now, although the Transformers are great, they are just a toy model, what's the use of buying this." Are you going to let the dignified MGM Pictures change careers and vigorously develop toy models, so that movies and toys can be combined. Forget it, it's impossible for us to surpass Disney in this regard. ”
Han Quanyou was stunned for a long time, and finally spoke: "Who said that I want to change MGM Pictures and convert it into a combination of movies and toys like Disney?" ”
"That's not the case, so why are you so excited, why are you in such a hurry to buy the Transformers royalties?" Listening to Han Quanyou say this, isn't it just Jason? Cruise, even Harry? Sloane was puzzled, too.
"Because Transformers are very important to our MGM Films, it depends on whether our MGM Pictures can stand up again." Han Quanyou was very serious and said in an unusually serious tone.
"Cut~~~ Just a toy model, it can also save our MGM Films, what are you when we are MGM Films, although our MGM Pictures is in a bad situation now, but no matter what, our MGM Pictures is also the first of the eight major Hollywood studios, how can a small toy model save the great MGM Films."
Jason? Cruise snorted with disdain, for Jason? For Cruise, it's ridiculous that a small toy model can save MGM Studios from today.
"Yes, MGM Pictures is the first of the eight major Hollywood companies, and it can afford to be great. But how did such a great MGM film company become like this in your hands, I want to know why, dear Mr. Jason, you seem to be able to answer my doubts. ”
Han Quanyou has never been a silent person, the good thing to say is that the surname is very bold, and the sand can't melt into his eyes, and the bad thing to say is that he is stingy, and he will take revenge if he has revenge.
Listen to Jason? Cruise's disdainful tone, of course, Han Quanyou didn't do it, and fought back unceremoniously.
"You!" Jason? Cruise was furious, he didn't expect Han Quanyou to be so unkind and dare to say that.
"What am I, what I'm saying is the truth, the great MGM Pictures got this in your hands, I really don't know what to say about you. A great film company also has its own reading power producer surname, which must have a background, a signboard, and a word-of-mouth. Such a great film company ended up with a debt of up to four billion dollars, and I really don't know whether to admire you or not. ”
Coldly looked at Jason? Cruise glanced at him, and Han Quanyou said with great disdain. Thinking maybe it's because of Jason? Cruise, the MGM film management, is useless, so MGM Pictures is now 4 billion dollars in debt, and Han Quanyou is even more angry, and his tone has become more unkind.
You also make some gas, what kind of 4 billion debts, less is not good, if it is 2 billion, then it will be much easier and more convenient.
"Yes, I admit that the reason why MGM Pictures has become what it is now is that we, the top management, do have an unshirkable responsibility." This time, not waiting for Jason? What does Cruise say, Harry? Sloan spoke first.
"Hey......" looked at Han Quanyou, who looked disdainful, and then looked at Harry, who looked silent? Sloan, Jason? Cruise couldn't help but sigh at the sky. Yes, in any case, the reason why MGM Pictures has become what it is now is that as a senior manager of the company, I do have some unshirkable responsibilities.
"Humph!" See Jason? Cruise didn't say anything anymore, Han Quanyou couldn't help but snort coldly, and no longer paid attention to Jason? Cruise, turn to Harry? Sloan said seriously: "Mr. Harry, after the meeting, you go to Hasbro to talk about the ownership of the Transformers, don't be afraid of too much money, and even I can give you 20 million dollars, you try to buy the ownership of the Transformers with the least amount of money under this limit." ”
Although even if it costs 50 million US dollars, as long as he can buy the ownership of the Transformers, Han Quanyou will not feel distressed.
But Han Kwonwoo is not a fool, just Harry? Sloan said that ten million dollars would be about the same. In this case, you don't have to show off your money, after all, it's important to limit every point. Therefore, Han Kwon Woo gave Harry? Sloan's $20 million to buy the Transformers' royalties, $20 million, is enough.
"Well, well, what, lee, you're saying that you're paying $20 million to buy ownership of the Transformers?" Harry? Sloan nodded, but suddenly thought of something, and looked at Han Quanyou with a surprised look on his face and said.
"Hehe, yes, I'll pay!" See a shocked Harry? Sloan, Han Quanyou couldn't help but smile and said.
"Lee, in fact, Transformers are not particularly important, if you like it, you can draw for a little money, you can buy all the Transformers toys, no matter how much you like Transformers, you don't need to buy the ownership. You know, our MGM film company is really tight on money right now, if you can, you can put this money into the company. ”
Looked at Han Kwon-woo, Harry? Sloane proposed embarrassed and ashamed. After all, Harry? Sloane couldn't help but bow his head, not just Harry? Sloan, and even the others, including Jason? Cruise, as well as the members of the union, bowed their heads in shame.
The dignified MGM Film Company is now helpless to ask others for money for $20 million.
"Hey......" Han Quanyou let out a long sigh, it seems that MGM Films is really short of money now, otherwise, the CEO of MGM Films would not be so low-voiced, and some beggars asked him for this money.
"Don't worry, Harry, there will be money, but after all, the ownership of the Transformers is in your hands, you must know that our MGM Pictures seems to be able to stand up, and it will be up to the Transformers." Shaking his head, he reached out to stop Harry, who was about to explain something? Sloan, Han Quanyou said very seriously, and at the same time said that he bought the ownership of Transformers, not because he was a crazy Transformers fan, but for MGM Pictures.
"Ah~~~ You mean, you're going to make a movie related to Transformers!" Harry? Sloan was stunned, and looked at Han Quanyou with a puzzled expression, in today's market, Han Quanyou still dares to play like this, how can this not let Harry? Sloan was taken aback.
A movie set in a toy model, Harry? As an old filmmaker, Sloan really doesn't think that such a movie can do anything in today's market.
So, Harry? Sloan's first thought was to refuse, after all, MGM Pictures now has no money, and even if he finally has a sum of money to make a movie, he is definitely not allowed to spend this money on this type of movie.
Spent on a movie set in a toy setting, Han Kwon-woo was willing to spend the money on MGM Studios' signature "007" film series. Although it may not necessarily be a big-box office movie, it can at least guarantee a certain box office.
"Hmph~~~ You really like to go off the rails, choose a toy background of the unpopular, you really dare to think and dare to do." See Harry? Sloan disagreed, Jason? Cruise couldn't help jumping out again, and said with great disdain.
"Yes, it's unpopular enough, pirate-themed movies are unpopular enough, before the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series, who dares to think about it, who dares to shoot. But now, it turns out that there is no such thing as unpopular and popular, everything depends on the script, it just depends on the actors. As long as the script is of good quality and the actors' acting skills are outstanding, they can also achieve great success in unpopular movies. ”
Facing Jason? Cruise's sarcasm, Han Quanyou said very calmly. Carry it with Yuan Bin in South Korea, and Johnny in the United States? Depp is pinched. All this has made Han Quanyou tested, and now for anyone's attacks and sarcasm, Han Quanyou can treat them with a normal heart, as long as Han Quanyou himself wants to fight back, he can treat the other party's words as air.
Han Kwon Woo's words once again made Harry? Sloan and Jason? Cruise was stunned, and the two only thought at this time that Han Quanyou was not only the current unstable leader of MGM Pictures, but also an actor and a genius screenwriter.
Thinking about the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise, especially the second installment that surpassed a billion dollars at the global box office, has now broken the $500 million box office mark and is still skyrocketing in the third installment. Whether it's Harry? Sloan, or Jason? Cruise, his eyes are red at the moment, and he is envious.
And the reason why the second and third parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean" can be successful is because the script is really excellent. Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but think that it seemed that Han Quanyou was the screenwriter of these two movies.
Thinking of this, an idea flashed in the minds of the two at the same time, could it be that Han Quanyou belongs to the kind of sword that goes off the rails, is particularly talented in playing unpopular, and is very good at writing scripts for unpopular movie themes.
Thinking that it couldn't be cold before, it almost made people forget about pirates, but under the promotion of Han Quanyou, it has now become popular all over the world. Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but get excited.
Although the movie with a toy model as the background is indeed very unpopular, suddenly watching it, I even feel that there is basically no market. But considering the success of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series, the two are also somewhat looking forward to Han Kwonwoo's choice of toy back movies. Maybe a movie with an unpopular theme will shine in the hands of a genius like Han Quanyou.
Looking at Harry? Sloan and Jason? The expressions of the two of Cruise changed, and Han Quanyou couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, your guess is not wrong, I do plan to make a movie about Transformers." You know, when I was a child, I really liked Transformers models, because I was also full of feelings for Transformers, and sometimes a person would always bring himself into the Transformers world, so I had a lot of experiences and ideas. So, I can assure you that you don't have to worry about the script at all, and I've put a lot more thought and preparation into the Transformers script than Pirates of the Caribbean. So I can guarantee that when the time comes, I will definitely create a script that will satisfy everyone. ”
"But we don't have any money right now. Since Lee you have chosen a movie with a toy background, there will definitely be a lot of intense fight scenes, and even if computer stunts can solve a lot of places, it will still cost a lot of money. ”
Although it was tacitly assumed that Han Kwon-woo was ready to shoot a movie set in Transformers, Harry? Sloane still said helplessly. No matter what kind of movie is made, the main problem now is funding. And MGM Pictures is now the most nervous and lacking, and it is precisely the problem of funding.
"It's not a problem, I can still pay for it." Han Quanyou suddenly smiled and waved his hand disappreciatively.
"What, you pay this money, you know how much it takes, how much do you have to pay?" Jason? Cruise looked at Han Quanyou with a surprised expression, and asked without the slightest pause.
"This, is $200 million enough?" Han Quanyou was stunned, thought about it carefully, and said with some uncertainty.
"What, two hundred million dollars, you mean you can come up with two hundred million dollars." Jason? Cruise looked at Han Kwonwoo in surprise, and seemed surprised that Han Kwonwoo was able to come up with $200 million.
Don't say it's Jason? Cruise, even Harry? Sloan also looked at Han Quanyou with a surprised face, and he didn't expect Lee to be able to come up with 200 million US dollars.
"Hehe, money is not an issue. Uh~~~ By the way, I almost forgot to say it, Owen. When it came to money, Han Quanyou couldn't help but suddenly realize, patted his head and said to Owen behind him.
"Yes, boss." Owen smiled, stood up in the comments of everyone in a hurry, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am the personal butler of the boss." For the acquisition of MGM Pictures, our boss also made detailed thoughts. It was therefore decided to provide an initial tranche of $1 billion. Of these billion dollars, 500 million dollars are used to alleviate the urgency of forced debts, and the remaining 500 million dollars, 100 million dollars, are to settle the hearts and minds of the company. Of the remaining $400 million, $200 million is for filmmaking, $100 million is for publicity and some special expenses, and the remaining $100 million is used as a backup fund. ”
After speaking, in the surprise of everyone, Owen smiled faintly, and then sat down calmly.
A billion dollars, Harry? Sloan was stunned, Jason? Cruise was stunned, as were the other union members, even Han Kwonwoo himself.
How could it be a billion dollars, didn't it be said in advance, how did the direct investment of two billion dollars suddenly decrease by half, what is the reason for this, is there something unexpected happening? Thinking of this, Han Quanyou couldn't help but turn his head to look at Owen who was sitting behind him.
Seeing Han Quanyou's puzzled expression, Owen smiled and explained softly in Han Quanyou's ear: "Invest money slowly, so as not to invest two billion dollars at a time, so that they think that the boss is a rich man, and you will ask the boss for money everywhere and everything in the future." Although you have a lot of money, you can't afford MGM Pictures to spend so much. Therefore, investing a billion dollars at a time not only gives them the feeling that the boss you have money, but also makes them feel that the boss does not have much money, and you must carefully calculate the billion dollars, and the effect will probably exceed the effect of one billion dollars. ”
Owen's words couldn't help but make Han Quanyou suddenly realize, for the first time that he felt how wise he was to find a personal butler on a whim at that time. You must know that even if Owen used Han Quanyou's funds to invest and bring Han Quanyou a steady stream of income, Han Quanyou didn't think so.
On the contrary, now with Owen's self-assertive arrangement, Han Quanyou felt very wise and correct for the first time that he had made the decision to hire Owen as his personal butler.
