After a day of playing, the two of them were exhausted.

"Let's go to dinner, you are the landlord, you lead the way." It was not early, Wang Shang's stomach was also a little hungry, and his appetite began to rise.

Liu Xi dragged Wang Shang's hand and said with a delicate face: "Uncle, go, I'll take you to my house, and I'll make you something to eat!" ”

"You're still going to make good food?? I can't see it, eldest lady......" Wang Shang was a little surprised, thinking that this eldest lady was the master of ten fingers that did not touch the spring water.

Hearing Wang Shang's words, Liu Xi was suddenly unhappy, raised his neck, and said arrogantly: "I'm a chef, how can I not do it?" Let's go!! ”

Dancing all the way.

Wang Shang got into Liu Xi's car, drove all the way, and came to a group of villas. Wang Shang has known Liu Xi for half a year, but he has not come to her house until now, let alone seen her parents.

"My parents have something to do today and came back very late, so I don't need to see them for the time being." Liu Xi said slyly.

The car twisted and wound in the community, and walked a lot before coming to a villa, the villa was surrounded by a low fence, which was covered with green vines, Wang Shang saw that the iron of the fence had rusted to the point that it was not in shape, and it was estimated that the house in this community was not small.

When you go inside, you can see that there are a lot of flowers and plants planted in the yard. At this time, spring has just arrived, and the courtyard is full of spring.

Liu Xi put his arm around Wang Shang's left hand and introduced Wang Shang as he entered: "Look over there, there is a small swing, which is where I played with my brother when I was a child. ”

"There used to be a small swimming pool, but it was filled in. I used to play when I was a child," Liu Xi pointed to another open space and introduced.

After entering the villa, a large hall appeared in front of Wang Shang.

There was no one inside, Liu Xi dragged Wang Shang's hand while introducing Wang Shang to him one by one. A lot of it was from her childhood.

Soon she took two huge photo albums, handed them to Wang Shang, then changed into a set of clothes, took out some things from the refrigerator, and went to cook.

Wang Shang opened the photo album. Saw a picture of her as a child. There were moments full of laughter everywhere, and I also saw the young appearance of her parents, as well as Liu Yang.

One of the most profound photos of Wang Shang is a little girl who is only about 80cm tall standing in front of a little boy who is only 70cm tall, tugging at the little boy's ear. The little boy covered his face with his hands and cried.

Then I looked at another photo. I saw the little girl sitting on the little boy's body. The little boy lay on the ground and couldn't move, and he was also crying and mourning.

Wang Shang: "......"

This girl was quite fierce when she was a child, just a big sister.

"Ahh It was a voice from the kitchen. Liu Xi rushed out, ran to Wang Shang's side, grabbed the photo album, and then pulled out a few photos from several places. Then he handed the album back to Wang Shang, a little afraid to look at Wang Shang, and his face was as red as a ripe apple.

Wang Shang was inexplicable, but when he took back the album and looked at it, the two photos he just looked at were gone.

Wang Shang knew this in his heart and was happy: "Your brother has always been bullied by you, right?" ”

"Ahh Liu Xi was frightened like a rabbit and fled back to the kitchen.

An hour later, Liu Xi wore a white sè dress, sat on a stool and leaned next to Wang Shang, revealing her graceful body curves.

At this time, after she saw that Wang Shang didn't mind her temperament, she also returned to normal, and spooned a piece of water egg into Wang Shang's bowl: "Try ......"

Wang Shang sucked the jelly-like egg into his mouth, a fragrance permeated, and praised: "Yes, the taste is okay, the heat is just right, it seems that you really know how to cook." ”

Liu Xi immediately became arrogant, like a proud little swan, and said vividly: "Of course, don't look at who I am...... Try this again......"

She sandwiched other dishes into Wang Shang's bowl.

"Well, this back to the pot meat is good, and the stuffed tofu is also good." Wang Shang found that her craftsmanship was no worse than that of her mother, which was really amazing.

Wang Shang brushed aside a trace of hair in front of Liu Xi's face and fed a spoonful of stuffed tofu to her mouth: "When did you learn the cooking skills, not bad?" ”

"When I was a child, I was a picky eater, and I learned it anyway because I had a lot of time." Liu Xi said proudly.

"Yes, you're amazing!" Wang Shangmo stroked her hair and said with half praise.

――――――――

After only 2 days in Haizhu, Wang Shang returned to the magic capital.

As soon as he returned to the company, the secretary Li Shuiyue took a copy of the information and handed it to him: "Boss, the information of several special effects companies has been obtained." ”

Wang Shang took the information and looked at it.

"Dimensionality, Blu-ray, Shadow?? All three of them are about to go bankrupt?? Wang Shang remembered the last time he was in the United States, he had the experience of communicating with these three special effects companies, at that time, these three companies could be said to be awesome, their nostrils were all facing the sky, and they had never looked at people head-on.

"These three companies are all dead~~" Wang Shang smiled at the secretary.

The secretary was also a little smug and said, "Now look at how awesome they are!" ”

In addition to these three special effects companies, there are several other special effects companies that are also facing major financial difficulties.

In recent years, there have been more and more places where special effects have been used in movies, and special effects have begun to become more and more popular, but the strange thing is that the special effects companies that do special effects have lost money, and there are only a few special effects companies that can maintain a certain amount of financial support, including Industrial Light and Magic, Weta, and Digital, which has been deeply cooperating with Tianwang Film and Television Company.

And the reason why those special effects companies went bankrupt was that the expenses were much greater than the revenues. In the second half of 2007, there were rumors in the North American entertainment industry that many special effects companies complained that the money given by the filmmakers was too small, and the special effects research was a huge financial hole, which made it more and more difficult for them to operate.

The pressure of competition in the industry is high, and the high production cost is the main reason for its bankruptcy. In addition to the hardware, there is also investment in intellectual "equipment": when a movie starts, it needs to set up a research and development department composed of scientists, 1/3 of whom are experts in the physics field and the Internet.

Computer chips or the hardware used for filming are just the surface, but it's where the hundreds of hours of work that artists put in, the on-set assistants who work hard to coordinate with the special effects producers, and the engineers who write out long lists of appropriate code and set up the entire production process for the film.

Another reason is that the special effects company that paid for the production did not benefit from the popularity of the film, and Hollywood's sharing system is that the film has a share from the director, producer to actors, but the special effects company has never had a share.

Since the end of 2007, more than six Los Angeles special effects production companies have closed down, thousands of special effects engineers have lost their jobs, and many contracted special effects artists who used to have no worries about food and clothing have been reduced to short-term contract workers.

Many special effects artists have moved to other parts of the world, such as Huaxia, a country where the film industry is thriving.

Since then, Wang Shang began to call people to the United States to 'squat', find a professional investigation company to investigate and evaluate all these special effects companies in North America that may go bankrupt, and be ready to enter the market for acquisition at any time.

Now I've waited until now, and I've finally waited for my chance.

Most of the future movies will be special effects, and Wang Shang will naturally spend a lot of effort to acquire them. Talent is important, but the patents owned by those special effects companies are also very important, so the acquisition of special effects companies is a must.

Wang Shang took the information and looked at it one by one.

"The valuations of dimensional, Blu-ray, and Shadow assets are $430 million, $330 million, and $270 million, respectively, as well as technicolor, fullscaleeffects, etc., all of which used to have a series of brilliance, but now they have begun to seriously shrink their assets, all of which are about $2-300 million."

Wang Shang looked at these offers and couldn't help laughing: "It's so cheap, it's just sent to the door." After the acquisition, it was just right for them to work for "Transformers". ”

However, if you want to acquire a few, it will cost more than a billion US dollars, that is, tens of billions of yuan.

Soon, Jia Jinqian, the person in charge of the finance department, rushed to Wang Shang's office with a large pile of meat on his body.

"How much cash flow do we have in our company now?"

Jia Jinqian filtered in his heart, and quickly replied: "At present, there is not much cash flow, only about 500 million, mainly to the special effects department, Yanjing Research Institute, "Fast and Furious 2", "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" and the remaining dozen or so movies. ”

"So little...... Wang Shang had to turn in another direction, "If you borrow from the bank, how much can you borrow?" ”

Jia Jinqian calculated in his heart: "If you take out a loan, you can also use "Fast and Furious 2" and "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" to get a mortgage, you should be able to get 7 billion, and you can also use related patented technology to get a mortgage, I don't know how much I can borrow, I'm not a professional." Of course, the last one can be secured by the company's shares, which will presumably be of interest to many banks. ”

A day later, Tianwang Film and Television Company sent a business negotiation team to the United States secretly.

The next day, more than a dozen banks in the magic capital sent people to Tianwang Film and Television Company with a roar, and they were extremely excited, as if a hungry man who had been hungry for more than ten days saw delicious food, and ran over to the vicious dog to pounce on food and rob it madly.

On the fourth day, news began to spread in the society that Tianwang Film and Television Company used "Fast and Furious 2" and "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" to mortgage a total of 8 billion yuan in two banks.

After the news came out, it was immediately seized by the media with a keen sense of smell.

"Tianwang Film and Television Company is in a big move! What is the intention of the loan of 8 billion? ”

"Is it a new big movie? Need so much budget?? ”

"Tianwang Film and Television Company, which has always had fewer loans, has finally broken the routine this time, what is the reason?". (To be continued......)
