————————

On April 7, Wang Shang appeared at the finale banquet of "Iron Man".

"It's a really great movie!!"

"Our goal is $600 million at the box office!!" At the finale banquet, Disney producer Oni confidently said to the reporters and guests who came to the ceremony.

He does have a lot of faith in the film, which has a huge fan base. It has an elite production team, and the 3D technical team is the top special effects team of Tianwang Special Effects. The most important thing is that after watching the filming footage, producer Omni found that Robert Downey Jr. simply played Tony Stark.

Everything is a sign of the film's future box office hits. It also indicates that "Iron Man" will become a series of movies, and as long as the sequel is not made badly, the box office will be as high as "Spider-Man"!!

At this time, producer Oni couldn't help but look at Wang Shang, who was talking and laughing with others, and his heart was complicated, both admiration and jealousy. The Forbes list has come out, and Wang Shang's net worth has also appeared in the top 200 of the world's richest list.

Oni looked at his young face, looking at his old age. Sighing helplessly.

Wang Shang didn't know the feelings of Disney producer Oni. At this time, he was chatting with some reporters and celebrities, Wang Shang did not feel that socializing was a difficult thing, but rather a pleasure, and he could learn more about what he didn't know through chatting. Regulates your mood. Expand your horizons. At the same time, you can also get acquainted with these guests, which will also help you in the future.

And the guests who chatted with Wang Shang also felt that Wang Shang was an approachable person and very easy to talk. is very humorous, coupled with Wang Shang's identity and net worth, I can't help but think of making friends.

Amy is a reporter for the "Variety" newspaper, and today she got the opportunity to come to the finale banquet of "Steel Warriors", interviewed many stars, and gained a lot, and was very happy.

Just as the finale was about to end, Amy's phone rang suddenly.

"Amy, I heard that the boss of Tianwang Film and Television Group is at the finale banquet, right?"

Amy: "Yes. ”

The other party said anxiously: "Quick, interview him, I just saw a news on the Internet, saying that his company's "Fast and Furious 3" will be officially released in Huaxia on May 1. ”

"Ahh Amy exclaimed and quickly covered her mouth, she had quickly seized a big opportunity, and nodded again and again with a blushing face, "I understand what you mean." ”

After hanging up the phone, Amy calmed down her excitement, looked at the other competing peers around her, and then pretended to be casual and came to Wang Shang's side: "Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm Amy, a reporter from "Variety", and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

The person next to him saw a wavy blonde beauty take the initiative to come to Wang Shang, and his eyes couldn't help but think that Wang Shang blinked ambiguously, and then left with interest.

Wang Shang looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who took the initiative to come over, and couldn't help but take a closer look, she looked good, with a strong charming style, but unfortunately the pores on her face were a little thick. Wang Shang politely stretched out his hand while commenting vaguely: "Hello! ”

"Mr. Wang, I am a fan of "Fast and Furious", I heard that "Fast 3" is scheduled to be released in China on May 1, when will it be released in North America? I can't wait! Amy asked intelligently in a fan's tone, making Wang Shang feel a lot more comfortable.

"For the release of North America, we still have to contact the distributor, and at the same time, we have to go through the review and negotiate with the major theaters to arrange the schedule, so it should be too late in May."

Then Amy asked some questions about the release of "Fast and Furious 3" and Wang Shang's new movie, and Wang Shang answered them in detail in order to promote his movie.

Soon after, under the announcement of the host, the finale banquet of "Iron Man" ended.

The whole finale banquet was very successful, and the major entertainment times in North America reported on the completion of "Iron Man" in the afternoon of the same day. At this time, "Iron Man" also released stills in a timely manner, which triggered a large-scale onlooker of Iron Man hero fans.

At this time, the Times of "Variety" broke the news that "Fast and Furious 3" had completed production and was ready to be released, and it also reported in detail the interview with Wang Shang. Not long after the newspaper was released, it was snapped up by countless fans, and then more and more news about "Speed 3" spread to the United States through the Internet.

The fame and fans accumulated over a long period of time are 10,000 times better than any publicity, and the news instantly radiates throughout North America, and then spreads across the ocean to Europe and the world.

Countless fans are boiling!!

While Wang Shang was still resting in the hotel, the publishing directors of Paramount, Universal, Disney and other companies came to the hotel one after another, trying to grab the distribution rights before the competitors reacted. As a result, as soon as I arrived at the hotel, I saw those 'acquaintances', and the eggs were immediately shattered.

When Wang Shang was found, the distribution directors of several companies almost didn't fight.

Seeing a few people glaring at me and I glaring at you, staring at you like a bull's eye, as if at any time there would be Chinese martial arts such as killing pigs in your arms and cutting off your children's legs, Wang Shang hurriedly stopped: "Don't look for me, I will arrange someone to negotiate with you later." ”

That night, Wang Shang was invited to Robert Downey's home and was naturally warmly welcomed and toasted a lot to express his gratitude to Wang Shang.

"My new movie, there is a character who is not the main character, I don't know if you would like to come in." Wang Shang asked as he continued to drink.

Donnie didn't say anything, and directly agreed: "There is absolutely no problem, on call." ”

"You won't regret it." Wang Shang patted him on the shoulder and said.

The next day, Wang Shang took a shower in good spirits, and then exercised for a few minutes in the sky garden on the roof of the hotel.

Soon, the cinema acquisition team came to report to Wang Shang.

The reporter is Li En, the leader of the acquisition team, and a person with rich experience in negotiation. "Boss, the acquisition of movie theaters is not going well, those movie theaters obviously have plans to sell, but they insist on not letting go, or they know that we have a lot of money to buy, so they simply open their mouths."

Wang Shang was still slowly playing Tai Chi, which he had just learned for a long time, and said: "If they don't sell, they will go to the next one to negotiate, anyway, we only buy one movie theater in a large city, and there are many choices, if he doesn't sell it, others will sell it." Let the other person beg you, not you beg the other person. ”

"Are there any special requirements for the cinema you acquired? As long as the location is good, the population is large, and the transportation is convenient. "Li En is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to pretend to understand, and he is very bold in asking questions.

Wang Shang thought for a while, waved off the others, and said to Li En: "Here I will tell you personally, remember to keep it secret." ”

It could be seen that Li Enmian was a person who could keep his mouth shut, and he nodded expressionlessly.

"Now the company has invented a new technology that can make the film bigger. According to the current technical specifications, the cinema needs a theater to install a large screen of 22 meters by 16 meters, do you know what I mean? ”

"22 meters x 16 meters? Isn't that 8 stories tall? "Lee En and his friends were stunned!!

This width and height is too exaggerated!!

Li En said distractedly: "This movie must be very cool to watch." ”

"It's just a standard size, but it can be expanded to 29 meters x 22 meters to ensure that the film is not distorted, and the number of seats for the audience will be expanded from 200 to 500-600. So, you know what I mean? ”

The meaning is obvious, that is to say, the cinema must be transformable, otherwise there will be no such tall and large cinema hall at all.

Li En left with the acquisition team again, and with Wang Shang's authorization, Li En could free his hands and feet to sweep the entire North American cinema.

In the following days, Wang Shang went to see the Tianwang Special Effects Company, and then went to visit the crew of "Thor", at this time "Thor" is also about to be completed, and it is expected to be edited and released at the end of the year.

On April 13, the North American distribution company of "Fast and Furious 3" was finally decided, and it was Disney, partly because Tianwang Film and Television Group and Disney Pictures are now in their honeymoon period. As for the release schedule, Disney will coordinate with the theater side to solve it, but in the name of "Speed 3", the film scheduling rate will definitely not be low.

On April 14, Wang Shang took hundreds of special effects artists on a plane back to China. Before going back, Li En and his team successfully acquired 5 movie theaters in North America, with prices ranging from millions of dollars to tens of millions of dollars.

When Wang Shang returned to the company, the news that Wang Shang was going to choose the second secretary had already spread.
