When night came, Shao Shuaijun was in the study of the villa, writing and drawing. The series "Dance Out of My Life" can be used as a signboard, and it has been done, and almost every one of them has broken 100 million. "Twilight" still has several films to be explored, Twilight, Dawnbreak, and Dawn are all planned sequels, and it is not a problem to create two billion box office for Ding Feng.

The series "The Hunger Games" is obviously also a box office money-absorbing machine, and it is not difficult to win the box office of two billion. The "Great Detective Sherlock Holmes" series, if it is well managed, can also form a very long series. And once "Planet of the Apes" buys the copyright, it is definitely a series that can continue to be explored.

The series "The Hangover" is determined to continue to be made, and strive to have an R-rated comedy like this every year, after all, the cost is too low, no matter how much you earn, you will make money. And "Teddy Bear" can also be made into a series, but any movie that makes money can be made into a sequel.

If you do the math, there are also "Weakness: The Process of the Competition", "Millionaire in the Slum", "Life of Pi", "Warm Corpse", etc., Shao Shuaijun has found all the movies he can find. It has laid a solid foundation for Summit Entertainment, as long as it does not operate indiscriminately, it is not a problem to maintain the glory of ten years.

"What are you writing about?"

Li Xiuxiu didn't know when he entered the study and put a coat on Shao Shuaijun, tonight's weather changed suddenly, and it was snowing outside. There was no snow at Christmas, but it snowed after Christmas, which made the taste of Christmas in the United States lose a lot.

For Shao Shuaijun, it doesn't matter if he can't spend Christmas. It's not a traditional Chinese festival.

"I'm thinking about the film, the company will expand next year, invest more in film production, try to capture more box office market share, and then raise the price of the stock. I think once we acquire Marvel Comics, there will definitely be a little problem in the capital chain, and we must have a strong ability to attract money in order to make the stock market strong. After surviving this period of time, when the superheroes return to the team, it is time for Summit Entertainment to become a giant! Shao Shuaijun said confidently.

Li Xiuxiu smiled slightly: "Tomorrow is New Year's Day." Summit Entertainment will be available tomorrow. I don't know what's going on, when Dream Chasing Golden Harvest went public for financing, I stayed up all night. Now I leave all the preparations to others, but I commute to work normally. It's weird. ”

Shao Shuaijun smiled: "People." The first time you can't help but feel uneasy. I'm afraid of pain and I'm afraid of going out of the situation, and after the first time, I'll be familiar with it in the future. There's nothing to be nervous about. ”

"What are you talking about, full of dirty thoughts."

"Who is dirty, I'm talking about the reaction to the listing, isn't it just nervous, afraid that the stock is worthless, distressed, and afraid of such and such a situation? When you have the experience and prepare for another listing again, there is nothing to make a fuss about. I'm talking very seriously, I really don't know who likes to associate it with it. ”

"Okay, who are you talking about, you dare to arrange me." Li Xiuxiu immediately pounced with her teeth and claws.

Shao Shuaijun reacted quickly, twisted his body, stretched out his hands, and hugged Li Xiuxiu who rushed over into his arms, and then kissed Li Xiuxiu's lips to resolve the must-kill offensive.

Two men and women, kissing so hotly.

After a long time, he gasped and parted.

Li Xiuxiu brushed her hair, leaned on Shao Shuaijun's shoulder, and asked, "Won't you participate in the listing press conference tomorrow?" ”

"No, it's all in the hands of Mitchell, after all, this is in the United States, and Mitchell will make Summit Entertainment look more like an American company than an American company that has been acquired by a Chinese company. The acquisition of Marvel Comics is not an easy task, and we have to make sure that it does not cause any unnecessary national sentiment. ”

Historically, cross-border acquisitions have been a difficult issue, not just a business exercise, but also a matter of political factors and public sentiment. Marvel Comics is an American comic giant, and American companies acquire Marvel Comics, nothing. But a company with a Chinese background, when acquiring Marvel Comics, must consider whether the majority of comic fans accept it.

Shao Shuaijun is Chinese, and he thinks it is better to keep a low profile at this time, and let Mitchell come out in everything, so that Americans can think that this is an internal transaction of Americans, and there will be no big interference. When the wood is ready, it is good to come out again.

"Walt Disney is very strong, we don't have to be rivals." Lee so-so was a little worried.

"Competing for strength, we are not weak after listing, don't forget that we still have Dream Chase Golden Harvest and Dream Chase Entertainment as backing. Now the total capital of Dream Entertainment Group is more than 10 billion US dollars, which is stronger than the market value of Walt Disney. ”

Shao Shuaijun said freely: "Spelling for acquisition is just a bid, we bid high, the cooperation conditions are good, and it is surprising how to choose the natural way of comics." No one is going to have trouble with money. Moreover, Walt Disney is not necessarily willing to pay a high price, and the superhero rights of Marvel Comics, several of the most famous, have been sold, and if you want to recoup, you need to invest more. Those who retain the copyright are some heroes who are not very famous. Will they put a lot of effort into such a showcase? I don't think so. ”

Not everyone knows where the future is going, and Walt Disney has judged that superheroes will do something in the future, which is already ahead of its time.

But it's just limited to knowing what superheroes will do, as for what kind of things will happen, even if you stand in front of the CEO of Disney and tell him that Batman's box office miracle is not the only one, and more superheroes will set off more box office. He probably didn't believe it either.

So far, the blockbuster superheroes are Superman, Batman and Spider-Man, and perhaps Iron Man.

Putting all the company's bets on superheroes who don't know how much money they can make, only Summit Entertainment led by Shao Shuaijun has the courage.

"Where do you think our bottom line is?" Li Xiuxiu does not have Shao Shuaijun's self-confidence.

"There is no limit, as long as it can be done. Acquire Marvel Comics at all costs. Unless they don't want to sell, if they want to sell, they must belong to us. ”

Li Xiuxiu frowned: "Now in the company, there is a unified opinion on the acquisition of Marvel Comics, but to be honest, everyone is very confused and doesn't know how to develop it." Superheroes are able to make money, but can the money they earn make up for our expenses? ”

"Anything is possible!" Shao Shuaijun laughed, "I already have a plan, once we acquire Marvel Comics, we will start making a movie with a large collection of superheroes." It's called "The Avengers". Iron Man, Hulk, Green Arrow, Captain America, Thor will all appear in the movie, and a single superhero is a movie, and together it is also a movie, and the future will be brilliant. ”

……

January 1, 2009. New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar. Summit Entertainment is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

What is the specific stock market situation? Shao Shuaijun didn't pay attention, he was in a Hollywood café, drinking coffee with a 60-year-old strong man. This man is still a strong man at the age of sixty. It is a generation of martial arts superstar Sylvestre. Stallone. One of the three tough guys on the big screen in the 80s.

Stallone can't help acting, but also writing and directing. "Rocky", which he wrote and acted in, was a sensation, conquering not only the audience, but also the Oscars, which is his most brilliant film. The subsequent sequel to "Rocky", as well as the "First Blood" series written, directed and acted by himself, all created brilliant box office.

It's a pity that except for one "Rocky" that was recognized by the Oscars, the other movies starring Stallone can only be recognized by the Golden Sour Plum Award, and even awarded the Worst Actor Award of the 20th Century by the Golden Sour Plum.

"Hello Mr. Stallone, I grew up watching your movies, Rocky and Rambo, it's so cool." Shao Shuaijun first complimented Stallone.

Although Stallone is old, the majesty is still there, fortunately, the two are sitting facing each other, if they are crowded together, Shao Shuaijun will be at least one size smaller than Stallone. Stallone's facial nerves have been damaged, so he has always had the same cold expression, and he spoke very directly: "Hello Director Shao, it's a pleasure to drink coffee with you, I think Director Shao is looking for me something?" ”

"Of course, I've recently reviewed the action blockbusters of the 80s, and I feel that the current movies, the action scenes are more like juggling, and there is no violent beauty at all, and suddenly it's a pity. So an idea came to mind, why not gather all the action stars of Hollywood and make a nostalgic action blockbuster? ”

"Oh, Director Shao has a new movie plan? I heard you're not filming a literary film, aren't you? ”

Shao Shuaijun nodded and said: "I'm filming "Heartbeat", I do have an idea for a movie, but I'm not good at making this kind of tough guy action movie." That's why I found you, Mr. Stallone. I would like to ask you to star and direct this film. ”

"Is there a script?"

"Nope."

"No?"

Shao Shuaijun nodded: "The movie only has a general synopsis, which is to tell the story of a group of mercenaries who received a mission to go to a small island and overthrow the local forces. Then there was a crisis, and then there were all kinds of fighting. To be honest, the plot is not important, it can be played casually, mainly to stage a tough guy action scene. If you agree, from the script to the casting, it will be handed over to you, and we will invest in Summit Entertainment. ”

"This ......" Stallone was a little moved, and a little hesitant.

"Mr. Stallone, rest assured, in terms of salary, it is definitely in line with your value, and the movie is all in your hands, we only make investments, and you have full authority to decide the direction of the movie."

After a little consideration, Stallone agreed: "Okay, I accept it!" "Since the 90s, his acting career has gone downhill, and it is a joy for him to accept an invitation to a film, and there is no need to think about it.

"Then it's settled, oh yes, I can provide a name for the movie, just for reference. I call it "The Expendables." ”

"The Expendables", Future Sylvestre. Stallone's self-written, directed, and acted American action movies are full of vulgar shots and brutal logic, recreating men's feelings in the past, and paying tribute to the action movies of the 80s and 90s. The movie brings together Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Jason. Statham, Li Lianjie and a large number of action superstars, iron-blooded and proud performances.

In my memory, "The Expendables" is also a series, and Shao Shuaijun has released two films before his rebirth, both of which have achieved a global box office of two or three billion US dollars, which is very profitable. Since Summit Entertainment is going to expand, "The Expendables" will definitely be included in it.

Explain clearly to Stallone, and determine when to sign the contract and when to prepare for the film.

That's all for today.

After wrenching his fingers and calculating, Shao Shuaijun muttered to himself: "The Expendables" is the future masterpiece of Lionsgate, "The Hunger Games" is also the future masterpiece of Lionsgate, and "Twilight" and "Warm Corpse" are all future productions of Lionsgate. How do I feel that I have a grudge against Lionsgate, I have robbed Lionsgate of the future. Alas, I'm so embarrassed...... When will Lionsgate be acquired again, there is no need to be so concerned if they are all a family. ”

was busy with trivial matters like this, and after a delay of more than a week, Shao Shuaijun finally returned to the crew of "Heartbeat".

used to make movies, Shao Shuaijun couldn't wait to devote himself to it.

Now I have to divide my time and can only squeeze out a small part of it for filmmaking.

Sometimes Shao Shuaijun himself feels that he has embarked on a path that is diametrically opposed to his dream. I dreamed of being a pure person for the movie, but now, I don't have a pure self at all. Reality always keeps driving people, like inertia, to keep running forward.

Running and running, I lost my way.

Turn around when you remember.

Huo Ran realized that he had run to another runway.

"Fortunately, I finally finished everything I had to do, and I won't care about the company's affairs in the future!" Shao Shuaijun muttered to himself a little embarrassed.

The crew has almost rehearsed the scene, and as soon as Shao Shuaijun came, he immediately entered the filming state......

At this time, the shares of Summit Entertainment had just been circulated, and they were immediately robbed, and the limit had been increased in just half a day. With the Twilight series grabbing money around the world, and Twitter's strong registered users, Summit Entertainment's stock is naturally a high-quality stock, and it is normal to be robbed like crazy.

And this weekend, the box office of the third week of "The Hangover" also came out, with $26.78 million, once again winning the North American weekend box office, which is already three consecutive crowns, with a total box office of $164.2 million, achieving an incredible R-rated small-budget comedy miracle box office.

As if the wind fuels the fire, the stock of Summit Entertainment will continue to rise in the coming week, from the original $1 a share to $8 a share, before it began to stabilize closely. In other words, the capital of Summit Entertainment has increased by a full eight times. It was $1.5 billion, but now it's $12 billion.

With a market value of nearly 90 billion yuan, it surpassed Dream Chase Golden Harvest to become a subsidiary of Dream Chase Entertainment Group with the highest market value. When you have money, you will immediately launch a fierce offensive on the acquisition of Marvel Comics.

Superhero, Shao Shuaijun is bound to win! (To be continued......)
