Chapter 16: Jurassic World (2/4)
If you want to accept financing, first of all, you must discharge Ahri...
Ahri buys everything to connect with the Ahri system.
What is the Ali system?
Just listen to me!
I saw that your business is very promising, I decided to buy it, and it will be mine, you have to listen to my command, you say I don't understand? You know better than I do, why were you bought by me?
Actually, it's not...
What is Ahri's investment and acquisition for?
In addition to simply occupying the market, the most important thing is for traffic!
The investment in Didi is due to the fact that Didi has a large number of orders to Alipay every day, and the acquisition of Youku UC is because these applications can provide a large amount of traffic into the Taobao system.
He started as an e-commerce company!
In addition, the Ahri leaders are generally arrogant, in their eyes, humans are not worthy of giving them advice at all, they are the gods of the world, and they have the power to manipulate the direction of humanity...
They really only feel that the talents in their system are elites, talents.
Ahri's direction is the right direction for this world.
It gives the impression that there is no receptivity, no reverence, no mutual respect...
For example, Ahri Entertainment, there is not much to do, there is not a single product, the slogan is loud, and the plan is long-term.
only knows how to smash data heaps and traffic, completely disrespects content, and is the most delusional in big capital to mass-produce content.
It's hard to tell what Ali Dawen Entertainment is doing, when it was bought with a lot of money, it was the first in the industry, and then after three or five years, it was basically gone.
Not only Dawen Entertainment, but also Lazada (Laizanda, a shopping platform in Southeast Asia), Ele.me, these acquisition or investment companies, without exception, have gone through a series of processes such as team running-in, integration into Alibaba, and airborne executives, and then they declined!
You let Shen Xudong deal with them?
He certainly didn't want to.
Then Tengxun or Baidu...
Baidu is actually not weaker than Ahri, and most of the companies it acquired have gone out of business...
To say a funny thing, there were rumors that Baidu was going to buy Meituan and Toutiao...
Later, Toutiao's PR replied that we have no plans to acquire Baidu for the time being.
Lying down to make money for too long.
Content producers have never been respected, to paraphrase Guo Degang's words, the producers of content or services are Baidu's food and clothing parents! Baidu has never respected it before, causing a large number of content producers to leave, and this ecosystem cannot function.
Otherwise, Baidu knows that it is very possible to kill Zhihu, Wukong Q&A, and Tieba to kill information traffic sources like Sina...
Path dependence has been formed, and Boss Li has a strategy every year...
Boss Li's famous saying, it is estimated that everyone still remembers: "If you think Baidu is not good, you can not use Baidu".
Boss Li said 10, the middle level dared to say 100, and it is not uncommon for the grassroots to work to 10,000.
The examples of Baidu's failures range from glutinous rice, Baidu takeaway, Youya, Baidu doctors, Baidu games, Baidu mall, Baidu space, etc., which are too many to count, but nothing has been found, and the only immortal iQiyi has not made a profit so far;
As for the vine news...
It can be discussed.
……
"Jurassic World" is actually "Jurassic Park 4"...
Universal has always had doubts, mainly because the first three installments of the "Jurassic" series have been on a downward trend in North America, from 350 million in the first part, to 230 million in the second part, and 180 million in the third part, and the box office revenue has been declining.
And in recent years, top series of blockbusters have stepped into the "4 era", "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", "Shrek 4", and even "The Lord of the Rings" have made prequels...
And the box office and word-of-mouth of these "4" blockbusters are not as good as their predecessors...
"Jurassic", how do you calculate, the cost will be more than 100 million dollars...
Super A-level production in the absolute sense.
There is no shortage of series from Universal, "Fast and Furious", "Spy" and the recent special blockbuster "Minions" series...
The most important thing is that Universal has always wanted to restart the monster universe - Universal started with B-grade movies, and has a bunch of monster copyrights in his hands, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, Werewolf, Invisible Man, Black Lagoon Demon Tan...
Attempts have been made in recent years to revive these screen images, with 2004's Van Helsing costing $160 million and 2010's Werewolf costing $150 million...
In the words of Donna Langley, CEO of Universal Pictures History, 'Universal Pictures has amassed a staggering number of monster characters over the years, and we've been trying to bring these monsters back to the big screen for years!' ’
After all, this thing belongs to the legacy!
So, they weren't very enthusiastic about Jurassic World.
Thomas Tur broke up with Warner, signed a three-year contract with Universal, and co-produced "The Seventh Son: The Battle of the Demons", "The First Year of Dracula", "Jurassic World", including "Warcraft" and "The Great Wall" are all distributed worldwide...
Thomas Tur is a fan of monsters, and naturally a fan of dinosaurs!
It was Spielberg's Amperin Entertainment that he found, Spielberg's company, who took the initiative to suggest making "Jurassic World"...
This time and space has been replaced by Shen Xudong!
The movie "Jurassic World", he was impressed, mainly he was very interested in the creature dinosaurs!
To tell the truth, in terms of disaster and horror atmosphere, "Jurassic World" has not made any breakthroughs, and the method used is still dinosaurs roaring and bowing their heads, and their big eyes are a few inches away from the humans hiding behind vulnerable obstacles...
Aside from 3D effects and CG special effects, "Jurassic World" does not grasp the sense of crisis as well as "Jurassic Park", and the thriller scenes seem to be thriller and thriller...
But... When we have 3D technology, more realistic stunts, and clearer picture quality, the performance of this group of violent ancient beasts on the screen is naturally more impactful!
Monster movies, that's all for watching!
Are you counting on anything worthwhile from the Jurassic series?
Animal welfare?
Harmony between man and nature?
It's like the stupid movie "Godzilla: King of the Monsters", advocating the coexistence of humans and monsters for the sake of so-called environmental protection. Unleashing the king Ghidorah indirectly awakened a large group of monsters, causing a global catastrophe and killing countless people. And then at the end, her husband and daughter were about to be killed by monsters, and she suddenly found out her conscience to save people...
In short, it's okay to die for others, but not for my family.
The death of hundreds of millions of people around the world is just to let this heroine understand the truth that 'family is the most important'.
However, the third part of "Jurassic World" is similar to "King of Monsters", and the protagonists have all kinds of intelligence - the protagonist group goes deep into the dangerous zone full of carnivorous dinosaurs, and they don't even bring a weapon... Apparently he had a firearm.
In addition, what does the protagonist group rely on to deal with dinosaurs throughout the whole process?
Touch your head.
That's right, it's literal...
It's outrageous!
Is this Nima a script that humans can write?
Ahem, these don't care about Shen Xudong's business, he simply invests in "Jurassic World"... Not involved in the production of films.
Universal proposed two plans, one is that he invests 100 million US dollars and takes 80% of the profits, provided that Universal gives priority to recovering costs; The second is to lock in the copyright in Asia in advance for $50 million...
Shen Xudong chose the first one!
And the sequel preferential investment clause was added to the contract.
Hollywood Six, Universal is still quite reliable for investors, although they also forcibly seized the copyright of "Fast and Furious", but people did not covet investors' share of the account.
There is still credibility in terms of credibility!
