"Wow"

All the paparazzi were shocked to look at this pair of men and women, the male hero was free and easy, and the female was sexy and beautiful, but it was such a pair of men and women in their twenties who had become billionaires! No, to be precise, the combined wealth of the two of them has definitely exceeded more than one billion dollars, or even more!

"Oh God, the world is really unfair!"

"So if you have money, you can make more money, so what's the point of us ordinary people working hard?"

"Rich and beautiful, and as a result, I found a boyfriend who is richer and better than myself, Imanka is simply the darling of the world."

"Mr. Gretel, do you have a next move? Can you tell us a little bit about that? ”

Even the paparazzi, who have always been lawless, unnaturally lowered their two tones in the interview with the two, and in the face of billionaires, these paparazzi have already understood in their inner subconscious that the other party is the kind of high-ranking big man, not the "entertainment stars" they usually follow can be compared.

"Of course, my next move is Marvel, I've commissioned Ms. Julia Roberts under ICM, to meet with Mr. Stan Lee, and I hope to be able to bring those superheroes from Marvel Comics to the big screen through my infusion, "Iron Man" is about to be released, in addition to Wolverine, Captain America, etc., I hope to be able to turn them all into reality! It's going to take a lot of money, but I'm ready for it. ”

After saying this, Xiao Shu left with Imanka.

But the paparazzi are messy: it's one thing to know that you're rich, but it's another thing to know what you're going to do!

"That's Marvel! It is the largest comic book company in the United States and owns many copyrights of Marvel Comics! Is he crazy! ”

"Marvel's market capitalization has reached $5 billion, although Marvel's capital chain has been very tight because of the relationship between constantly raising funds for superhero shooting, but it is not something that an outsider rich man can covet."

"Unless Gretel intends to put all his money into it, but I don't think that's possible, it's rumored that Wall Street has been staring at Marvel Comics, and Walt Disney, which they control, also owns a lot of shares in Comics, so it seems that Gretel Diao is competing with Wall Street again!"

Under the noise of the paparazzi, in the afternoon of the same day, the news of the Chinese billionaire and American upstart "Grete Diao" who intends to enter the comic industry has been disclosed from major news websites!

"Pointing at Marvel! Gretel Diao, who has just received a large wave of dollars in the Los Angeles Times, claims to inject money into Marvel Comics! ”

"Is it rampant? Or are you prepared? Gretel Diao intends to buy Marvel Comics! ”

"Since the outflow of Gretel's remarks, Marvel Comics' stock price has been stimulated, and it has risen by more than 10% that afternoon!"

"According to financial commentator Mr. Will Green, he said that this could be another financial fraud on the part of Gretel, and perhaps he had already acquired a portion of Marvel Comics stock with the intention of selling it at this time!"

Goodman, the founder and chairman of the board of directors of the company, had to come forward to clarify, saying that the company had not received Mr. Grett's acquisition request, asking investors to calm down, and claiming that Mr. Stan Lee, the pillar of Marvel, had agreed to Mr. Grett's invitation to meet and would have a formal meeting with Grett at the Hilton Hotel tomorrow.

"Boss, that's the specific news."

Later that day, Jessica reported to Xiao Shu and informed Xiao Shu of the relevant news, and after finishing speaking, she secretly looked at Xiao Shu and showed an obsessive look: wealth can bring a different aura to people, and she is willing to serve this man with the celebrity, in addition to the factors that this man really makes her heartbeat, is it not because this man has suffocating wealth?

So even if Xiao Shu gave her a day off today, in the afternoon, she was still willing to follow this man, listen to his instructions, and do things for him.

"Jessica, don't be nervous, every acquisition we make is scalable and scalable Oh, the acquisition of Marvel will be a long process, I don't want my subordinates to be overly nervous because of this, your main job now is to arrange the next activities for Scarlett Johansson, to increase the exposure of Emma Roberts, well, let me think about it, in addition, your task is to find more newcomers, such as this woman, I think her profile is very good, I hope you can poach her to our company."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhu turned the computer and pointed the screen at Jessica.

"Gal Gadot, a Jew, once served in the Israeli army, won the national beauty pageant in '04, was published in Maxim magazine in '07, and became a well-known model because of his published image of the Israeli army in a small area in the United States, and then made the front page headlines of the New York Post because of this matter, announced his entry into Hollywood this year, and is seeking to join the crew of "Fast and Furious 4".

Very simple information, most of which were even handwritten by Xiao Zhu, Jessica looked at the photo and frowned: "This woman...... It's not so beautiful, it's not a star, it's a little more masculine, maybe it's because you used to be a soldier? ”

She actually wants to ask, this kind of "little person", how did you choose her, boss?

Xiao Shu smiled: "I see a peculiar temperament from her, I like this temperament very much, signing her and bringing her to see me is your task in the near future." ”

Peculiar temperament? Jessica looked weird, she really didn't see any peculiar temperament about this Jewish woman, but whatever she was, whatever the boss said.

"Good boss!"

Xiao Zhu looked at the photo of Gal Gadot, maybe it was because the other party was a "Wonder Woman" relationship, how did he think that the other party did have a peculiar temperament, which was easy for men to rise to the hope of conquest, and ......

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Shu picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, old man, how are you doing?" The phone was connected, and Xiao Zhu asked enthusiastically, there are very few Americans who can get his enthusiasm, and Hugh Hefner is one of them. This "old man" with tens of billions of dollars in assets is now in his twilight years, and he has urged Xiao Zhu several times to hurry up and carry out "that plan".

"Oh God, my friend, you finally called me, everything else is going well, even the NBA is willing to give me some face as an old man, this year's All-Star Game is about to be held, they are willing to let this year's All-Star participate in our career, of course, the specific stars to interview, we still need to discuss ourselves."

"However, it didn't go well on the E side, and E's influence in the United States is amazing, even surpassing the NBA to some extent, so it's not easy for those people to convince ......."

The IM project has always been a big project carried out by Xiao Zhu and Hugh Hefner, among which there are countless "fun" projects, basketball and boxing are two big projects! This is also a project that Hugh Hefner has been working on.

"E, I'll be responsible!"

Xiao Shu casually assured Hugh Hefner that as of now, he didn't even know a person E, but it didn't matter, capital could ignore these things, and then he said the purpose of his call: "Old man, you should know the latest news about me." ”

"Of course, when I heard that you made a lot of money on the Los Angeles Times, all I can say is, you're amazing, young man!" Hugh Hefner smiled: "But today you have another big news, listen to my advice, Marvel is not something we should meddle in, the power of Wall Street is so strong, even if it is our joint efforts, we must be cautious." ”

"Oh, thanks! Those who can remind me at this time are my most sincere friends! ”

Xiao Shu said sincerely, he naturally knew that Hugh Hefner had good intentions, and then he said: "Man, I actually plan to take a stake in Warner, how do you think this difficulty is compared to acquiring Marvel?" ”

Warner Bros. Entertainment, one of the eight giants of Hollywood, and even the top giant, is a super-large film production and distribution company that can stand side by side with Walt Disney, the most important thing is that unlike Marvel Comics, which is now an independent company, DC Comics, another major comic book company in the United States, was in the hands of Warner Bros. early, Superman, Batman and a series of classic superheroes are all from DC, from Warner Entertainment's subordinates, and the Justice League that can compete with the Marvel Universe in the future, It's nowhere to be seen at the moment!

Hugh Hefner was silent for a long time, and only after a while did he say, "I feel like you might as well buy Marvel!" ”

Xiao Shu smiled dumbly and said: "Hey, man, I didn't say that I would buy Warner, I just bought shares, I want about 10% of the shares, although for a company of Warner's size, 10% of the shares is a lot, but it is not impossible to take out, of course, I also have some other preparations for this......"

What preparation? Naturally, it is the copyright of all kinds of movies, some movies that are about to become popular!

After hanging up the phone with Hugh Hefner, Xiao Zhu began to control New Century Entertainment and start the real work.

First, on the Dongying side, Xiao Zhu's agent began to contact the production company of "Transformers", and spent $10 million to get the film adaptation rights and movie peripherals of "Transformers" for the next 10 years.

Second, for the copyright related to "The Lord of the Rings", Xiao Zhu began to instruct the headquarters of New Century Entertainment in the Americas to take action, and this related copyright includes the film adaptation rights of "The Hobbit" that Warner Bros. is seeking!

Third, Xiao Shu contacted the publishing house and the author of a best-selling book, her name is Stephanie Mayer, and won the entire adaptation rights of the "Twilight" series of movies from her for $8 million!

Subsequently, Xiao Shu turned on his computer, which contained two books and four scripts.

The two are "The Hunger Games" and "Alice in Wonderland", and among the four scripts, in addition to the two adapted scripts, there are two other screenplays, "Inception" and "Gravity".

For people who are open-minded, especially for people like Xiao Shu who can "copy" things directly from their minds, he either doesn't do it, or he can do it to the extreme!

Each of the six future series of films selected by Xiao Shu is a super-valuable copyright of more than $5 billion! These movies are a single North American box office, and they are all super large numbers of more than 500 million, not to mention the peripheral and series copyright income!

Xiao Shu plans to use these things to do something.

The next day, the version of "The Hunger Games" was released in the United States, and the slogan of the publishing company was: The first English book published by the Oriental genius Grete Diao!

In the eyes of the American public, the name Gretel Diao has always been synonymous with the rich and famous, and now, someone suddenly claims that he has written one, and he has written it in China before, and the American public is instantly confused.

On this day, at the Manhattan District Library in New York, Xiao Zhu stood in front of the stage for the first time and held a new book signing.

As soon as the news came out, the whole New York was in a sensation, and many people, even those who didn't think Xiao Shu could write a good book, couldn't help but be curious and came to the scene.

Yu Na also came over early this day, because she knew that this was another opportunity for her, before, because she reported on Xiao Zhu, and in the "New York Times", she became a contracted responsible editor and became a hot celebrity under the editor-in-chief, but she was not satisfied with this, she still wanted to go higher, and "The Hunger Games", she knew that this was an ambitious product of Xiao Zhu, and the money that was about to be invested was terrifying, so "The Hunger Games" was bound to be popular, even if the quality of this film itself was not good, With such a huge amount of money poured in, it will also be on fire for at least a while.

"Mr. Gretel, meet again."

Standing in front of the rows of books, Yu Na motioned for the photographer to follow, and she then appeared in front of Xiao Zhu.

"Hello, Miss Yu Na."

Xiao Shu had already received Yu Na's interview request before, so he pretended not to know at this time and greeted with a smile.

"I only knew that you were a rich man, Mr. Gretel, and a caring female sympathizer, but now I didn't expect you to write a book, have you ever written in this area before?"

Speaking of this, Yu Na paused and said: "With all due respect, in the United States, most celebrities have one or two autobiographies, and other literary works, it seems that after becoming famous, they can exchange fame for dollars, just like looking at the previous presidents, after they retire, they always have to write one or two autobiographies, and the public has long lost patience with this, may I ask if the work you signed for sale today is also this kind of work?" ”

Xiao Shu smiled dumbly and said: "In fact, my profession is a writer, and it can even be said that I started as a creator, in Huaguo, my first "Breaking the Sky" is still on the best-selling list of the largest genuine books on the Internet, and it is the first. When I came to the U.S., I found the situation of women here worrying, so I had an idea to think of The Hunger Games and describe it......
