Chapter 582 - Eyeing Marvel (Asking for Subscription)
"But the 5S contract is not as simple as it sounds on the surface, it requires huge resources to give power!"
The next moment, Xiao Zhu's words immediately made Emma Roberts nervous, and even Julia Roberts nodded thoughtfully, as a typical Hollywood person, she naturally recognized Xiao Zhu's words very much.
"We at New Century Entertainment now only have Miss Scarlett Johansson, a 5S-level contracted customer. The resources poured into her are as follows. ”
"First, the cost of a full set of costumes and makeup, our positioning for Miss Scarlett, is a future superstar, then her expenses will become very huge, Miss Scarlett must use super first-class boutiques, of course, the price is not ordinary." Although these things were for him to see, Xiao Shu didn't say this.
"Second, Miss Scarlett enjoys the best resources in the company, so that she can take the fastest path. Miss Scarlett has now become a well-known feminist person, since the end of "Nanny Diary", she is in a bad environment, but after our packaging and continuous delivery of a certain amount of news and advertising, Miss Scarlett not only has not lost popularity, but her image has also become better. ”
"Even, in our planning, a full-fledged 'feminist' program is opening the door for Miss Scarlett, and she will be our next core target for the show, film, merchandise development, etc., tentatively named The Hunger Games, and at least $300 million will be invested in her! It is expected that after the completion of the plan, Miss Scarlett Johansson will at least be able to become a very Hollywood A-list female star. "Then it's convenient for me to ...... After all, it is more enjoyable to be a star than to be an ordinary beauty.
"Third, Miss Scarlett Johansson, even if she signed the 5S plan, she also has a terrifying binding force on herself, Miss Emma, you should know that a star's appearance and body shape, and even temperament are very important, and if you want to get these, you not only need a natural template, but also an acquired training, your natural template is very good, I have to admit that you are already a beautiful beauty now, but the acquired temperament still needs to be cultivated."
Many things, when others say more difficult, then it will make people feel more credible, so after listening to Xiao Zhu's words, Emma Roberts looked at him with almost bright eyes, and said without hesitation: "Great, I just want this kind of signing!" I promise you, as long as I am contracted, I will do anything. ”
When she said the last sentence, Emma Roberts showed a touch of shyness on her face, she looked at Xiao Shu with confused eyes, and thought in her heart: I heard that there are many unspoken rules in Hollywood, but if it is the handsome man in front of her, it seems that there is nothing worth embarrassing.
Julia Roberts didn't see her niece's expression, she said to Xiao Zhu with a somewhat cautious expression: "For the second point, as a well-known producer in Hollywood, I will give some support. ”
Xiao Zhu showed appreciation, and being able to say this sentence proves that Julia Roberts is a person who understands. She knows that in Hollywood, simple unspoken rules are actually useless: there are so many beautiful women in the world, and you are given so many resources just because you are willing to sleep? At least in the eyes of the average person, this is impossible.
Julia Roberts also understands how valuable the second point Xiao Zhu said, don't look at Scarlett who hasn't taken off yet, and when the resources piled up on her fully explode, she will definitely be able to go far, far away. And unlike Emma Roberts, Scarlett is now Xiao Zhu's rumored girlfriend after all. Girlfriend and ***, after all, are different, and Julia can't support her niece Emma to hook up with Xiao Zhu, so she can only pour resources into herself.
And she clearly pointed out her identity as a "producer", not as a superstar, because she calmly knew that in front of capital, her star halo was almost useless, but the identity of "producer" was relatively on the table, Hollywood's pyramid, producers almost have the right comparable to capital, on the one hand, because most producers themselves are stewards of large investments, and on the other hand, Hollywood implements a "producer-centric system", which is a "director-centric system" with Huaguo"It's completely different.
"Well, with Ms. Julia's help, I think our plans can be quicker."
Xiao Zhu's words are only here, the next thing is to chat casually with Emma and the two daughters, and do not continue on this topic, life is bland and tasteless, unlike ordinary people, Xiao Zhu's life is surrounded by "celebrities" like Julia Roberts, and beauties like Emma Roberts, it is naturally more comfortable to get along with these people, especially if the other two are interested in making friends.
After eating, Xiao Shu led the two daughters back to ICM and instructed Jessica to formulate a new 5S-level agreement and officially sign a contract with Emma Roberts.
Before signing the contract, Xiao Zhu deliberately brought Julia Roberts to his conference room and explained: "Emma is still young after all, I plan to let her temporarily take the route of a popular star, at first a youth idol star, and then seek transformation." ”
"Lionsgate is looking to shoot the film series "Scream 4", I think Emma is very suitable for this style of film, her first goal is to become the heroine of this series of movies, and use the resources of this series of movies to instantly make her famous and make her a scream queen! Julia, this needs your help. ”
In her previous life, Emma Roberts's fame mostly came from her second-generation star status, and she had a lot of works, more than some first-class stars, but what was impressive was only one "Scream 4", which was called the screaming queen by fans, this was her most shining time, although Xiao Zhu signed Emma Roberts, she was not ready to shake her world line. Of course, after Emma Roberts became the "screaming queen", it was enough to continue other actions.
"I happen to be looking for resources in this area, the Scream series is really good, it has a regular fan base, and it is very popular with teenagers, but I am afraid that Emma will fall into the shackles of the series and will not be able to take on other roles in the future......"
Julia Roberts said with a little concern.
"Even if it's Emma, no one can guarantee that she will become popular immediately, so Ms. Julia, your worries are unnecessary, of course, I will have a big move next, and Emma can also join this big move later, that series is the series that can really make her popular."
"What's the big move?" Julia asked curiously.
"Marvel!"
Xiao Shu said seriously: "The generation that grew up watching Marvel and DC Comics has grown up, and the upcoming "Iron Man" this year is the beginning of the Marvel series of comic books. ”
"Miss Julia, I've heard that you have some connections within the Walt Disney Company, and I'd like to be able to reach out to the upper echelons of Walt Disney and ask you to match."
Hearing Xiao Zhu's words, Julia gasped, that was Marvel! No one is a fool, since the adaptations of movies such as "Spider-Man" and "Hulk" became popular, capital has been eyeing this huge piece of fat. However, money will always be a huge obstacle to everyone's progress, and now that Marvel Comics' market value has reached $5 billion, even if it only buys some of its shares, it will cost billions of dollars, such a huge amount of money, even Wall Street needs to think clearly: although most people think that the series is promising, but how promising it is is still unknown, and billions of dollars of investment requires huge risks.
That's why Julia was surprised, because compared to behemoths like Walt Disney, Xiao Shu looks too thin.
Of course, Julia won't be nosy, and she quickly nodded, "Okay, I'll help you contact Stan Lee, who has been looking for superheroes from comics to get to the big screen, and must be interested in your investment." ”
Stan Lee, the father of Marvel Comics, is the benchmark figure who will carry forward the development of Marvel Company. At its peak, he used to own more than 60% of Marvel Comics, but with the entry of capital, his shares have been diluted to more than 30%, but even so, he is still the first creator of Marvel, and his status in Marvel Comics is scary.
Looking at the back of Julia leaving, thoughts rose in Xiao Zhu's heart.
As a reborn, no one understands the value of Marvel Comics better than him, and his biggest regret in his previous life was that he came to the United States a year late, and could only watch Walt Disney completely acquire Marvel at a high price of more than $4 billion! And in his previous life, Xiao Zhu's main opponent in the field of culture and entertainment was Marvel! It is Walt Disney, who has gradually become a puppet of Wall Street, and Wall Street.
And now, even if it is reborn, Xiao Shu does not think that he can directly buy Marvel, because Walt Disney has been eyeing Marvel for at least five years, and this behemoth has been constantly coveting all kinds of superheroes of Marvel Comics, and now Walt Disney's shares in Marvel Comics are definitely more than 30% or even more! The reason why the acquisition has not yet been completed is only because the capital is waiting for the release of "Iron Man", after all, capital has always looked at risks and benefits.
Xiao Zhu's purpose has always been only one: to make himself the biggest capital, and other capitals, such as Wall Street, will naturally become his own stepping stones!
……
In the afternoon, Immancara took Xiao Zhu to go shopping on the avenue of Billy Hills, since Xiao Zhu announced that he had completely sold the shares of the "Los Angeles Times", the rumors of "reconciliation" between the two spread far and wide, not only the shareholders of the "Los Angeles Times", almost all the United States knew that this pair played with the capital of Wall Street, so that Morgan Bank lost at least more than 400 million US dollars!
The two walked on the street, followed by a bodyguard in a black suit, this is a bodyguard sent by Blackwater, Xiao Zhu's continuous investment in Blackwater has made him the largest shareholder of this company, although William is not very willing, but even he has to admit that Xiao Shu has completely captured Imanka's heart, so Blackwater Company also acquiesced to Xiao Zhu's existence.
Farther away, there is a series of paparazzi, American paparazzi are pervasive, they stare at Xiao Zhu and Imanca, trying to take any picture between the two that may cause news hotspots, even if the two are just chatting and shopping casually, it will also be over-interpreted by the paparazzi, plus some specious photos, it can attract a lot of traffic - after all, now in the United States, everyone knows that this pair has become the focus of attention with their transcendent wealth.
Walking out of a Prada store, Imanka has changed into a set of sky blue dresses, she is tall, under the background of the dress, she looks extremely beautiful, her long legs are not wearing any stockings, but she is extremely beautiful, and it makes people have an urge to kneel and lick.
Some of the paparazzi immediately rushed up and shouted through the bodyguards: "Miss Imanca, how much net worth do you have now?" Can you tell us how much you earned in the Los Angeles Times takeover war? ”
The United States has always been a place to worship the winner, and in just half a day, the media's attitude towards Xiao Shu has been reversed 180 degrees, and even the paparazzi stared at Xiao Shu and asked loudly: "Mr. Gretel, do you have any further investment plans?" Although you made a lot of money from the Los Angeles Times, did you just let go of Greensmith, who was your enemy, so easily? I heard that he is now a minority shareholder in the Los Angeles Times, and he was also a beneficiary in that takeover war. ”
Imanka is a vain person, and this morning's news made her very angry, she could not tolerate being regarded as a loser even though she had won the "war". She almost couldn't help but show off how good her man was and how rich the benefits she brought to herself, but she understood some characteristics of Chinese people, so she didn't open her mouth at the moment, but looked at the man next to her.
Xiao Zhu felt Imanka's impatience, patted her little hand at the moment, and said softly: "Whatever you are afraid of, you can say whatever you want, I hope that my woman is the focus of the world and enjoys all the good things in the world, even if you hate you, you have to admit that you are excellent!" ”
Imanka showed a bright smile, Xiao Zhu's words simply spoke to her heart, and she replied without hesitation: "Five hundred million!" $490 million, to be exact! That's all we've gotten in the Los Angeles takeover! ”
