Chapter 57 Special Effects Order

The Truth Society is recruiting new students, and Huang Mingzhe rarely took the time to check the situation of the three subsidiaries of the Thinking Society.

As the first son of the Thinking Club, Dream Company finally completed the break-even in August this year, and in August, Dream Company spent 137 million yuan in various departments, while the income was 142 million, and it made a slight profit of more than 5 million.

It's not easy! It took more than a year since the Dream Company was established to break even, and then the Dream Company entered a state of self-sufficiency.

Especially with the spread of Dream Bubble Studio's special effects technology in the industry, many movies and TV series have found Dream Bubble Studio.

For example, Dongying's animation company, Hollywood's film company, etc., Dream Bubble Studio not only has high quality special effects, but also very fast, although the price is a little expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Hollywood, The Disney Company.

President Robert Washington looked at the video on his computer, and he was amazed at the starry sky.

"Let's, Industrial Light & Magic is still unwilling to adjust the time!"

Jean Duruff nodded helplessly: "They said it would take at least five months to complete our order, because they took the order from Fox." ”

Robert sneered: "I really think that they are the only special effects company in this world, let you go to Huaguo and talk to the dream company." ”

"No problem."

"Wait a minute." Robert stopped Jean Duruff, who was leaving.

"Mr. President, what do you command?"

"If you can, buy the Dream Company." Robert said suddenly.

"Mr. President, if I want to acquire, I need a professional to evaluate." Jean Duruff reminded.

"You're in charge of this." Robert went on to say that the reason why he wanted to buy Dream Company was mainly because of the science fiction rights of Science Fiction House and the special effects technology of Dream Bubble Studios.

In particular, their company has just acquired Marvel and obtained a lot of comic book rights, and their adaptation of the first Marvel movie, Iron Man, is in need of special effects technology.

"OK, Mr. President."

……

A Boeing plane slowly landed at Bao'an Airport, a group of obvious foreign faces, and did not attract much attention.

In an international metropolis like Pengcheng, it is normal for foreigners to appear here.

And at the same time.

Huang Mingzhe and Chen Wenna, escorted by Zhang Shi and four security personnel, rubbed shoulders with Jean Duroff and his party.

He came to Bao'an Airport to go to Oslo, the capital of Norway, to receive the Abel Prize.

Then go to Sweden next door to receive the Crafoord Prize, a world science prize almost as famous as the Nobel Prize, established by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1980 and awarded annually with a prize of 500,000 US dollars.

Of course, the prize money for the Abel Award is even more, nearly 800,000 US dollars.

This time to receive the award in the past, it is very likely that it will be his last time to go abroad, because with the emergence of high-energy batteries, lithography machines, photoresists and other technologies, Huang Mingzhe will definitely not be able to go abroad casually anymore.

The plane flew north.

……

There was a sound of footsteps, and the assistant opened the office door: "Mr. Zhang, the people from Disney have arrived." ”

"Let's just say I'm out on the expedition and ask them to come back tomorrow morning." Zhang Hanqing commanded.

"Uh...... Good. The assistant couldn't figure out what the president meant, so he could only hurriedly go down and convey it.

Zhang Hanqing turned his chair and squinted at Jean Duruff and his party through the one-way glass of the window, and he whispered to himself: "Greedy Mickey Mouse." ”

Apparently, Zhang Hanqing has received a letter of intent from Disney to acquire Disney, and Huang Mingzhe has asked him to reject Disney.

Jean Duruff, who was at the door, frowned after listening to the assistant's instructions, he looked at the ordinary little building, and then turned and left.

From this move, he knew that this acquisition would be yellow nine times out of ten, and as soon as he arrived here, the other party directly gave himself a closed door, obviously because he didn't want to talk about the acquisition with Disney.

The Peninsula Paris.

Jean Duroff put down his investigative report, which he commissioned from a commercial research firm to investigate, about the fantasy company.

After reading the report, he was also very surprised, the parent company of this dream company is called Thinking Club, and the founder is even more magical, the mathematical genius Huang Mingzhe who cracked Hodge's conjecture.

"Mr. Duruff, judging from the operation of their company, Dream Company just broke even last month, and the other two subsidiaries of the Thinking Society are just wasting money." Wood from the legal department said.

Jean Duruff, of course, knew that the two companies were wasting money, one was developing a lithography machine, the other was developing a high-energy battery.

In his opinion, that mathematical genius is panicked with a lot of money, and he is delusional about developing lithography machines and high-energy batteries.

"A conceited genius, he will pay for his recklessness." Jean Duruff shook his head and said.

"This is not right, when the capital chain of the Thinking Society is broken, we may be able to win the dream company at a low price." Wood laughed.

The next day.

Jean Duruff and his entourage finally met with Zhang Hanqing.

in the conference room.

"President Zhang, our Disney Company is willing to invest 500 million US dollars to acquire your company, I don't know what your company wants?" Jean Duroff didn't beat around the bush.

Zhang Hanqing smiled: "I'm very sorry, our company has no idea of selling. ”

"That's a shame." Jean Duroff was not surprised by the result, and continued: "In that case, let's talk about the special effects order. ”

"Please." Zhang Hanqing turned his head and motioned for the assistant to take notes.

"Our company is recently filming a comic book adaptation of the movie Iron Man, if you order this feature to your company, how much will your company offer?"

"Iron Man?" Zhang Hanqing turned his head and asked Ye Shengnan, the person in charge of the Dream Bubble, "Shengnan, what do you think?"

"We need to provide some synopsis of the script before we can evaluate the price."

Zhang Hanqing said to Jean Duruff: "Mr. Duruff, this requires your company to provide a summary of the script and specific requirements for special effects before we can evaluate it, and of course we can sign a confidentiality agreement." ”

After some negotiation between the two sides, the final special effects production cost of Iron Man was 50 million US dollars, and there were supplementary terms, if Disney wanted to increase special effects shots, it would need to pay additional fees.

And Dream Company promised to complete the special effects production within two months.

In fact, Iron Man has already filmed more than half of it, but because Marvel's capital chain was broken, Disney took advantage of the situation and acquired Marvel.

Because the sci-fi in this world was not popular before, Marvel was also half-dead, and now Disney is reluctant to invest before, so he gritted his teeth and took out the money to test the water.

As soon as the contract was signed, the dream company began to work, which is the largest order since the establishment of the dream company, and the completion of this order can make about 300 million yuan, which is equivalent to more than two months of income of the dream company.

These gringos are more willing than those domestic film companies, and those domestic film companies claim to invest hundreds of millions, but the result is to spend tens of millions of dollars to invite traffic stars, and then invest in special effects.

As soon as the movie came out, the special effects cost five cents.

Anyway, since the establishment of Dream Company, the largest order received in China is 42 million, and the others are generally small orders of several million.
