Chapter 570: Six Seven Billion and the Twin Era (3)
"Schindler's list ......" Aso sneered: "In 82, the then MCA president Sid Scheinberg met Spielberg, and the two had a good relationship, and one day, Sid gave each other a newspaper, talking about the newspaper's praise of Schindler's list of the original book. Spielberg was shocked by the story, so West Germany, who had the world in his hand, asked him, "When are you going to start filming?" Spielberg replied: Ten years later. β
No one took this matter to heart, but the funny thing is that the two signed the contract solemnly at that time. Spielberg was not well-known at the time, and he was worried that no one would invest in it. So the MCA signed up, and he did it without thinking about it......" A touch of mockery hung on the corner of his mouth: "Who knows, in a few months, his ET will completely canonize him." He regretted it, but the MCA treasured the contract. β
"So...... Ten years later...... It's exactly '92...... In the past, Global has become the bottom of the Big Six. Just when we were both on the verge of negotiating, the current president, Lou Brown. Wasserman remembered Spielberg's contract. And the film rights to Schindler's list have long been bought by Universal. β
Spielberg is already working on Schindler's list, and it's a story he's been accumulating for a decade. But Lou. Wasserman made an ironclad order that he must shoot Jurassic Park first and then Schindler's List, otherwise Universal would not sell the rights. Thereupon...... Jurassic Park has become the biggest variable in the MCA auction world. β
Aso's voice was full of hatred: "We also think this film is quite good, even above Terminator 2!" We estimate that it is likely to be profitable! So, our negotiations with MCA included the transfer of Jurassic Park! MCA is also afraid of too much investment, after all, their current net profit is about 600 million, and they don't have the courage to smash movies with one-fifth of the net profit of your company...... After lengthy copyright and acquisition negotiations, they finally agreed......"
By this time, two years had passed...... It's March of early '91, and both sides are exhausted and just want to end this hellish negotiation and get Jurassic Park to become Panasonic. Universal's first shot got off to a good start. I didn't expect ...... In April 91, when Sony found out that it was the Qin Dynasty that set foot in the film industry, all of a sudden, only the negotiation of signing a contract entered a damn quagmire! β
"MCA began to delay the contract with Panasonic indefinitely...... And prepare for the umpteenth time to be in close contact with you. I was already worried about this at the time, MCA's ambition was clear, and if the film could be adapted for the rights, they would never give up on Universal! It's like a vault full of gold! So, I asked Mitsui-kun to find you......"
"Mr. Mitsui, are you asking for it?" Qin Yuanfeng said differently.
Aso nodded in mid-levels: "Yes, the Qin Dynasty joined 3DO, and I was the first to mention yΓ¬." β
Qin Yuanfeng sighed.
By mistake, unintentionally inserted willows. My own crossing has indeed changed too many things...... Without the Qin Dynasty, he remembered that in history, at this moment the world already belonged to Panasonic, and he didn't think about it if it wasn't for Aso Banshan.
Without him, 3DO is estimated to be wiped out after investing hundreds of millions of dollars, leaving only the invincible heroes of Might and Magic to be immortalized in the world.
Without him, there would be no olive branch of MCA, and it would not have caused this situation of Panasonic and MCA sandwiching him.
He almost understood what was going on, sighed and said, "So, MCA one-way tore up the contract that had been negotiated?" β
"Yes."
"They put on a celebration banquet in the name of Universal, that is, they want to win me over, because of the popularity of Need for Speed, they want to win the games and movies of Jurassic Park, and they want to turn over completely, and they want to break into the electronic entertainment industry in one fell swoop?"
"That's right." Aso's masseter muscle twitched twice, looked at Qin Yuanfeng seriously, and said in his words: "Qin Jun...... We, are allies? β
Qin Yuanfeng was silent.
An unbelievable thought welled up in his mind.
It's fleeting, but it takes root in an instant, and it's hard to choose.
"What if I want Jurassic Park?"
Aso was silent for a while: "I'm afraid it's difficult." Truth be told, it's the highlight of New Universal. β
"Game Copyright?"
"Belongs to 3DO."
Qin Yuanfeng looked at him deeply, and after a long time, he said, "I want to think about it." β
Aso didn't speak, watched him open the car door and leave, and only said when he was about to close the door: "Qin Jun, I hope you understand that Panasonic and you are allies, maybe you will still be a high-level Freemason in the future, look down and don't look up, Panasonic has no intention of being an enemy of you." β
"Sixty-seven billion dollars in investment." He knocked lightly on the car window, as if to say something that was none of his business: "Two years of manpower, material resources and energy. You should understand that this is already a dead knot that Panasonic can't let go. β
Qin Yuanfeng paused, didn't say anything and got into his car.
Aso sat in the car and didn't say a word for a long time. Just looking at the light rain falling in the sky, his eyes were obscure.
"Book me a plane ticket to New York, no, charter a plane right away." As soon as Qin Yuanfeng got into the car, he said to Peng Jie in the front row.
"You're going to New York?" Peng Jie turned around: "Qin Dong, the leader has made a phone call, I hope you will return to China as much as possible, and I want to talk to you about something." β
"When I go to New York, I go back home." Qin Yuanfeng's eyes, he didn't expect to be the same as Aso Banshan at this moment, the same profound, the same obscure: "There is one thing...... I'm not sure, I can't settle down. Nor can the mind be accessible. β
"I can't go back to China now without solving this matter!"
Peng Jie didn't ask anything, and immediately drove towards the airport.
Late at night, after four o'clock, Zhong Han looked at the duo in front of him suspiciously: "Big night, shouldn't you see hell?" I don't think you're such a conscientious person. β
"There are important things, very important things." Qin Yuanfeng regarded it as his own home, pushed the door and walked inside. Unexpectedly, Zhong Han stopped at the door with a nervous face.
"How?" Qin Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows.
"Ahem......" Zhong Han coughed dryly: "You came too suddenly, I didn't pack it up, let's find another place to talk?" β
"It's okay, why are you so petty?" Qin Yuanfeng was puzzled, and was about to open the door, when suddenly, a charming voice floated out from the crack in the half-open door: "Mr. Zhong, quick."
Howlongwillitta/ketowait?β
Everyone, Qin Yuanfeng, Peng Jie, instantly looked clear.
"You can get dressed to greet me in your busy schedule, Zhong Han, you are very good." Qin Yuanfeng's tense psychology was rushed like this, and he suddenly relaxed a lot, and said with a smile.
Peng Jie quietly made up a knife: "According to the attenuation of the sound, it should be in the living room." β
Zhong Han glared angrily.
Qin Yuanfeng said with emotion: "It seems that Zhong Dong's sofa is very large. β
"Maybe it's the bed couch." Peng Jie continued to mend the knife.
Zhong Han suddenly.
"Wait a minute......" He glared at Peng Jie hatefully, if it weren't for the fact that the force value was not at the same level, I am afraid that at this time a full martial arts exercise would have been staged.
Fifteen minutes later, the personable Zhong Dong appeared in front of the two again, and the two of them glanced at his lower abdomen in unison.
"Nope! Be! Fast! Gun! Zhong Han's temples were jumping, and he gritted his teeth and went to the garage: "Wait, two old lewd/stick ......"
In Zhong Han's angry infinite speeding, Sanren came to a night cafΓ©. I asked for a private room with the sleepy-eyed waiter and sat in.
"Say!" Zhong Han's one-word mantra, is he easy? If you do a good deed, you will be blocked by the chairman thousands of miles away, goalkeeper, right?
"Okay, don't be angry, good, Peng Jie, blow it to him." Qin Yuanfeng laughed without limit, he hadn't been so happy for a long time.
I have to say that watching subordinates eat deflated is the inferior nature of every superior.
Zhong Han didn't let it blow.
"Tell me something, senior, I'm afraid you, okay? It's all sent to the United States, and you won't let me go! He finally covered his face and wailed, he couldn't be shameless with this person, this person was grandmaster-level.
Qin Yuanfeng adjusted his mood and wanted to get up strictly, but his reaction was to laugh several times without hindrance, laughing so much that Zhong Han's face turned green, before he cleared his throat, coughed dryly, and said strictly: "There is one thing, I can't pay attention to it, Zhong Han, you are the first to follow me." I'd like to ask for your opinion. Moreover, this matter is very wide-ranging. If one is not handled well, something big will happen. β
Seeing his solemn expression, Zhong Han finally got rid of the nameless fire that couldn't be extinguished, and nodded: "The things that can give you a headache must not be a trivial matter, I will try my best to express my position." β
Qin Yuanfeng sorted out his words, the thoughts just now were fleeting, and the lingering sense of hesitation was deeply rooted in his heart and could not be dispersed for a long time.
This idea is related to the future general line of the Qin Dynasty, and he can't be sloppy at all.
"What do you think our host will be?" He asked.
"I don't know, your question is too broad."
"Then I'll put it another way." Qin Yuanfeng pondered for a moment: "Is it biased towards 2D or 3D?" β
Zhong Han thought for a while: "If it was a few months ago, you asked me, I couldn't be sure, but now, I think it's definitely 3D!" β
Qin Yuanfeng nodded, he just opened a topic, the next era is coming, it is definitely 3D king, the most typical example is the miscalculation that 2D is still the mainstream of Sega's fifth-generation console SS, Saturn, 2D function far exceeds 3D, but it was defeated under Sony's PS a few months later! And the one that laid the foundation for the PS victory is the 3D game, FF7.
"Host, determine the 3D direction, this time I will go back, I will tell Mr. SΓΉ Yokoi in person, I guess his development idea has already taken shape. However, we all know that the Qin Dynasty has always been a software victory! To put it bluntly, it's a game! β
"So, for the console release, we needed a real Zhenshan work. Not Pokemon, but a brand new, refreshing, sincere and new, never-before-seen new game! He paused, with excitement in his eyes: "Or ...... A complete metamorphosis of the game! β
Zhong Han has been with him for several years, and he immediately heard what he said, and asked solemnly: "You...... Got an idea? β
"Yes!" Qin Yuanfeng couldn't help but stand up, bit his lip and said, "It's just ...... This line of thinking, however, has emerged in two. I couldn't make a choice! β
