Chapter 324: Acquisition of Marvel Comics!
Chapter 324 acquires Marvel Comics!
Next, after the extras basically left the Brooklyn Bridge, Zhou Shaoming arranged for three helicopters to fly around the sea surface of the Brooklyn Bridge, and at the same time, the camera filmed in all directions.
After all of this was over, Zhou Shaoming took photos with Bloomberg's two daughters, signed autographs, and so on.
In the end, after Mayor Bloomberg also left, Zhou Shaoming stood in place and waited for the interview of the beautiful reporter Serena, after all, this time the helicopter was from the New York newspaper, so it was reasonable to have to be interviewed by the New York Daily News.
"Mr. Smith Zhou, after a night of intense shooting, I don't know if you have anything to say about it? It's hard work or excitement! Serena asked with a smile.
"It's hard, I really don't feel it, if it's hard, it's definitely the actors who are working harder, as a director, I'm the conductor, sometimes I'm still blind!" Zhou Shaoming smiled, and then said: "As for shooting, those who know me know that I have high requirements for making movies, almost harsh, but it is precisely because of this that I can become a popular director today Smith Zhou!" ”
"Director Zhou, you are humble! Furthermore, is there anything unique you would like to express about the movie "I Am Legend" this time? For example, like the last time "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", you want to express a sense of gratitude, a kind of affection, or so on! "I Am Legend" was filmed with airplanes, police cars, and even thousands of extras, and the filming location was the famous Brooklyn Bridge, what kind of expectations do you have for such a large-scale film? ”
"I can't say it's a big deal! The film really needs these things, whether it's the plane or the venue, although difficult. But it has to be used. I want to make this movie well. These are musts. As for the expectations for the movie, it has not been released yet, and the movie is nothing more than the box office and word of mouth. Hopefully we can have a good harvest, of course, it would be nice to get some prizes, haha"
"Director Smith Chow. You're kidding, too! Okay, now is there anything you want to say? Serena said playfully.
"Suffice it to say that Miss Serena must be the leading beauty reporter for the New York Daily News! Haha" because the shooting went smoothly at night, at this time, Zhou Shaoming was in a very good mood, and even teased a beautiful reporter.
"Director Zhou, it's not good to praise other women like this in front of Jessica!" Serena was stunned, she really didn't expect Zhou Shaoming to say such a thing, but she didn't react for a moment. Then he smiled ambiguously while looking at Jessica on the side.
Suddenly, Jessica's face turned red. lowered his head, and Zhou Shaoming was a little depressed, obviously his real girlfriend was Christina, okay?
"Okay, Director Zhou, it's not too early, let's go back first, and if there is anything you need to use later, just call me directly." Serena pulled a business card out of her pocket, then turned around in a dashing manner.
Just two steps away, Serena suddenly turned around: "I forgot to say that Smith Zhou is even more handsome than the legend!" Giggles"
"Huh?" Zhou Shaoming sweated, such a fierce beauty.
"Everyone is gone, don't look at it!" At this moment, Jessica said with some taste.
"Okay, call it a day and go home, I'm tired, it's already half past ten in the evening, and it's a bit long tonight!" Looking at the listless and tired people in the crew, Zhou Shaoming shook his head and said loudly.
The next morning, Zhou Shaoming was in the spacious big bed, and at this moment, the mobile phone rang.
"Boss, about the acquisition of Blizzard and Marvel!" The call was from Jon, and at this moment, Jon said on the other end of the line.
"Go on!" Speaking of these two companies, Zhou Shaoming immediately woke up from his sleep and sat up directly.
"Blizzard is very difficult to negotiate, the president of Blizzard has no idea of being acquired at all, and it is really difficult to want to acquire it in a short period of time. Marvel is much better, but there are also some unsatisfactory places, and now there are two ways to acquire Marvel, one is asset acquisition, and the other is share acquisition. Marvel's tentative estimate is around $1.5 billion. If Supernova is a one-time asset acquisition, it will have to invest at least 1.5 billion, and it is not difficult for the company to come up with so much money now, but once the acquisition is completed, Supernova's liquidity is basically gone, and it is a little difficult to carry out other businesses. In the event of a joint-stock acquisition, Supernova would only need to contribute less than one billion yuan to become the largest shareholder for the time being. Boss, what do you think you should choose? ”
"A one-time acquisition, no shares or anything, what I want is that Marvel will belong to supernova in the future, and it will belong completely. Remember, Marvel is worth much more than you think, and it's a one-time acquisition. As for funding, it will be released around November and the day after tomorrow and "The Walking Dead" will be a hit! The money is definitely enough, but it's a little nervous, and it's good to slow down the progress of other aspects of the business a little. Zhou Shaoming said directly.
"Boss, are you sure? Would you like to talk to President Christina? ”
"No, Marvel must buy it, you will know its value in the future, more than 5,000 heroes! "Iron Man", "Hulk", "The Avengers", his value is far beyond your imagination! Jon, I ask you to seize the opportunity to buy Marvel in full, and do it in the near future, preferably, to surprise me before I go back from filming. Zhou Shaoming said excitedly.
Thinking about the popularity of Marvel's superhero series in his previous life, Zhou Shaoming was excited, once Marvel got it, supernova will basically monopolize the superhero series in the future, and then he can count the money just by shooting all kinds of heroes!
"Okay, boss, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to deal with this matter!" Jon also felt the excitement and excitement in Zhou Shaoming's tone.
Although I don't know why the boss is so excited, Jon understands Zhou Shaoming, Smith Zhou has never been a targeted person, since he has made such a decision, it must be based on the reason, as Zhou Shaoming's right-hand man, he just needs to deal with it according to Zhou Shaoming's intentions!
"Yes. I'll leave this matter to you! Don't let me down! If the funds really don't have enough to tell me again. Zhou Shaoming finally gave a serious explanation. Then scratched the phone.
Later movies are basically in the world of 3D. The highlight of this series of superhero movies is that the scenes are hot, which is especially in line with the 3D effect.
Zhou Shaoming is sure that as long as "Iron Man", "Hulk", "The Avengers" and so on are released, it goes without saying how much money he earns. At least supernova will officially step into the ranks of film company giants.
Columbia, Fox, Warner Zhou Shaoming's eyes flashed with excitement, like a cheetah seeing its prey.
Today, Zhou Shaoming's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, and he can no longer meet the small ideal of defeating Lionsgate.
And about funding. Zhou Shaoming really doesn't have to worry, now the acquisition of Marvel is almost enough, if it is really not enough, he has other ways to make money in a short time, for example, Facebook is not available for the time being, as long as he gets it out, he will be able to make a lot of money soon, but he is not in a hurry now, and he can get it again when he goes back after filming "I Am Legend".
The next morning, Zhou Shaoming did not go out. Whoever watches TV in bed is rarely somewhat relaxed.
Really. The headlines were all about his filming last night.
Seven o'clock in the evening!
Another night of filming began, and Zhou Shaoming and the crew quickly rushed to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Filming tonight is still tough, with more extras than last night.
"Zhou, how do I feel that I will be able to shoot the Brooklyn Bridge in less than 20 days?" In the car, Will Smith asked with some curiosity.
"It's true that according to this progress, it only takes a few days to complete the shooting, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth before, and it would be more stable to apply for a few more days." Zhou Shaoming smiled slightly, in fact, it is indeed not an easy task to make a movie on the Brooklyn Bridge.
If I remember correctly, in my previous life, the D-front crew of "I Am Legend" only had a week to shoot on the Brooklyn Bridge, and it could only be done at night.
During the small talk, the crew came to the Brooklyn Bridge.
At this time, Mayor Bloomberg had already arrived one step earlier, and of course, with Roger and his subordinates.
"Your Excellency, you came before me." Zhou Shaoming was a little surprised.
"Haha Actually, even if I'm not filming, sometimes I come to the Brooklyn Bridge, stand and look at the scenery of New York City, and every time I have a unique taste." Bloomberg squinted his eyes and said with some enjoyment.
"Looking at the beauty of the city under my jurisdiction, if it were me, I would be obsessed with this feeling." Zhou Shaoming can fully understand.
He himself is such a person, for each of his films, Zhou Shaoming will take them out every once in a while to enjoy them, that feeling is an affirmation of the fruits of his labor, and that kind of satisfaction Zhou Shaoming couldn't understand anymore.
In the same way, Mr. Bloomberg looked at New York the same way Mr. Zhou looked at his own films.
"Director, are you going to start?"
"Hehe not yet, tonight's scene is very troublesome, I have to communicate with those extras in batches before I can start filming. Your Excellency Mayor, you can enjoy the sea scenery first, and I'll go and communicate with them first. ”
"Okay!"
Subsequently, Zhou Shaoming, Benjamin, Berrick, Will Smith, Harry, Jessica and other crew workers all walked towards the extras, and then divided hundreds of extras into groups, and then several people began to explain in detail the scenes that needed to be filmed tonight and what they needed to perform.
Time passed quickly, and at eight o'clock, Serena, a beautiful reporter for the New York Daily News, landed again in a helicopter to the top of the bridge.
Then, New York car rental companies also came, bringing dozens of cars.
For a moment, the spacious Brooklyn Bridge turned out to be a little crowded.
Three helicopters, six or seven police cars, dozens of cars, thousands of extras, and even more ordinary people who came to see the excitement. (To be continued.) )
