Hee Sung helped Taylor shoot two music videos, "You BelongWithMe" and "LoveStory", and at the same time paid attention to the investment negotiations about the film, which remained in the United States until the end of February.

Hades Films invested $60 million in "Ice Age 3", reaching 50% of the investment quota.

In addition, 40 million was invested, according to 20% of the amount of each film invested in the movies produced by Fox in 08-09, and the specific investment in the movie Hades is not too much to ask.

In fact, this is the so-called friendship investment, which is an additional investment for the future cooperation between the two parties.

Hades wants to have priority access to Fox's more than 3,000 theatrical screens.

Compared to Fox, the cooperation with Paramount is a little more complicated.

First of all, it is the copyright of the "Transformers" series that has not been taken, and it is impossible for either Paramount or DreamWorks to let go, Carey is only the chief operating officer, not a big boss like Hee Cheng who has all the right to speak.

However, Hades finally received 50% of the investment amount, and in addition, "Transformers 2" will be filmed by DreamWorks, Hades, and Paramount, and Hades began to cultivate its own creative team.

This agreement is not only for "Transformers 2", and when "Transformers 3" starts filming, Hades can still participate.

Because of the failure to obtain copyright-related things, it is naturally impossible for Hee Sung to fulfill all the $300 million promised outside of "Transformers 2", and in fact, Paramount does not have many movies worth investing in.

"Star Trek 11: Open Future" will be completed in March, and Hades is still relatively weak in terms of publicity, so he can only give up the idea of getting a piece of the pie.

But even so, Hades still invested $175 million to invest in "Special Forces: Rise of the Cobra" without making a copyright claim.

"Special Forces" is the same as "Transformers". The film was released in the summer of 2009 and won the North American box office title of the week and received numerous accolades around the world.

But its global box office is only 302 million, which is definitely a loss-making movie if you don't count the peripherals and theaters.

This is also the reason why Paramount likes to pass on the risk to others to invest, and they themselves have no confidence.

If you spend nearly $200 million on a failed movie. Against the backdrop of the financial crisis, Paramount could almost announce a split sale.

The reason why Hee Sung is willing to invest in this loss-making film is simple, he wants to take over DreamWorks from Paramount.

On December 11, 2005, Paramount Pictures announced that it would acquire DreamWorks for $1.6 billion, of which $1.6 billion would be paid by Viacom, the parent company of Paramount Pictures, of which $775 million would be paid in cash, and the remaining $825 million would be paid in the form of Paramount accepting $825 million in debt from DreamWorks.

The animated prodigy Jeffrey F. Brown, who was the executive director of Disney Films, was led by the great director Spielberg. Katzenberg and the record industry are known as the godfathers of American music. Geffen's Dream Factory, which started with three to five feature films a year, started with an ever-increasing number of productions. There are many excellent works, including Spielberg's feature films and Jeffrey's films. Katzenberg's animated films, both of which quickly created brands. Cartoons were particularly good, with DreamWorks quickly becoming almost as famous as Disney's.

However, they are above self-confidence and have ambitions to create an independent film empire that is not dominated by conglomerates on television, film, music and online.

1999 year. DreamWorks abandoned plans to build a high-tech film studio in Los Angeles; In 2004, DreamWorks sold its record label to Universal Music and scaled back the production of its television program; Meanwhile. DreamWorks also dropped the website Pop.com.

By 2005, the debt-ridden DreamWorks had simply sold itself out, and Spielberg had become Paramount's wage earner.

Now, Spielberg regrets it, first seeking support from India's Reliance Big Entertainment and then actively approaching JPMorgan Chase.

Paramount, which is taking care of itself and is fully tightening its defenses, is voluntarily terminating its contracts with DreamWorks executives and employees, a move that will allow DreamWorks to quickly restructure.

However, it is up to Paramount to whom to sell DreamWorks' stake in.

That's why Hee Sung gave up more lucrative movies and invested in "Special Forces" - whether it was bribery or sycophancy, in short, he spent two weeks and $300 million to invest in "Transformers 2" and "Special Forces", and finally got Paramount's friendship.

In order to eat DreamWorks, Hee-sung had to prepare at least $1 billion in cash before 09 and repay about $500 million in DreamWorks in the next three years.

However, he will get the rights to about 80 or so films under DreamWorks, and Hades, who eats DreamWorks, will become a film giant on a par with Paramount and Fox.

In terms of funds, he spent $400 million transferred from his father, and there is still a total of 200 million left in his hands, and Apple's 500 million shares will not be able to be realized for a while and a half, so there is at least a gap of $800 million.

A moment back to the feeling before liberation, that's it.

However, he still has to spend the money that should be spent.

First invested $35 million in the filming of "The Hangover", and then after writing the script of "Speed Scandal", Hades began to create the "Ghost Record" series, and Hades will begin preparations for its first horror film.

Hee-sung was recording an album while on vacation, and on February 24, he participated in the 80th Academy Awards as a spectator.

"Juno" was nominated for Best Picture, Director, Actress, and Original Screenplay in this awards competition, and finally won the Original Screenplay Award, becoming both a popular and blockbuster movie.

On the 25th, "Special Forces" sent him an invitation to play the role of the white ghost in the movie.

Hee-sung read the script and the detailed description of the manga part, and the white ghost is the ninja bodyguard and assassin who is commonly known as "Cobra Commander".

He specializes in sniper assassination and intelligence work, and his ancestors have been assassins for 30 generations, and he has a good family tradition. He flies from wall to wall, comes and goes without a trace, is able to endure all kinds of hardships and pains, and has great endurance. He is proficient in longbows, samurai bows, star darts, and nunchucks, and is also a master of five martial arts; His stance has greatly strengthened the Cobra Order.

In fact, the white ghost in the comics is a real ruthless character, and you can often see him easily dodging bullets or splitting enemy guns in two with his sword.

However, this strong man is the only member who has changed his position, and has weighed his loyalty between the "special forces" and the "Cobra" organization several times, and has had a long-term relationship with the sword brother "Snake Eyes".

In Carey's words, it's a complex bad guy and challenging.

Of course, in the first part, he was a bad guy, a bad guy through and through.

The evaluators of the crew have circled the four popular Asian faces of Hee-sung, Rain, Lee Byung-hun, and Hiroyuki Sanada, and because of the investor, they naturally hope that Hee-sung can appear.

Paramount hopes to take this opportunity to deepen the cooperation between the two parties; In addition, I also hope that the film can get a better harvest in Asia.

Not counting the preparation stage, "Special Forces" is planned to be filmed for ten months, which is absolutely impossible for Hee Sung, because this year is a very sad year for him and his friends.

However, because of his investment, he enjoys more freedom than others, and Carey promises that he can travel between the two places whenever and wherever he wants, and make flexible time adjustments.

It's not unacceptable to shoot or not, but compared to the purely cool type, White Ghost is obviously more able to exercise acting skills. Moreover, it will be difficult to find such an Asian role for him in the future.

Therefore, Hee Sung was very entangled in this, and it was not until the end of the month that he made up his mind and decided to work hard to take on this movie.

The opportunity is rare, and he doesn't want to dismiss Paramount's face and affect the DreamWorks acquisition.

Unfortunately, the plan could not catch up with the change, and on the third day after he signed the contract and participated in the press conference of "Special Forces" on the 28th, he did not hesitate to tear up the contract and took the fastest flight straight back to Seoul.
