Chapter 339: This Is Also Called a Condition?
After chatting with Stan Lee, Lee Jin-woo confirmed that he had come to make a fortune.
At this time period, shouldn't Marvel have hooked up with Disney in private?
How could Stan Lee come alone and find him, the God of Wealth, to make a fortune.
"Each of those characters is like a beloved child to me, and no parent wants to sell their child to someone else."
Stan Lee wants to guarantee Marvel's independence, and he personally doesn't want the character to be controlled by a big company.
Once incorporated into a large company, there are many things that are no longer up to him and Marvel.
"So, what do you think?"
Li Zhenyu needs to understand his true intentions before deciding whether to do so.
Stan Lee wants to bring in new investors to revitalize the company.
Just like MGM in the moment.
So, he was eyeing the money in his pocket and saw hope in MGM.
"Price code?"
"Marvel needs $200 million to launch a new project, on any terms, as long as it can guarantee its independence."
"What's new?"
"Iron Man 2."
Li Zhenyu remembers this film, it seems to make money, but it is not clear how much he earned.
200 million US dollars, according to the transaction price of Disney's acquisition of Marvel, 4.09 billion US dollars, Li Zhenyu's shares are 2%.
Such a small stake does not mean much to him.
"1 billion, 35 percent of the equity ......" raised his hand until Stan Lee, who wanted to speak, Li Zhenyu continued: "I can authorize the equity to you, as long as it can make money for me." ”
"Stan, I'm a businessman, a simple businessman. Whoever can make money for me, I will support whomever I want. ”
"Of course, I personally like those characters in Marvel, but I like the value in them even more...... Banknotes, understand? ”
Li Zhenyu rubbed his fingers, showing the greed and philistine of the capitalists to the fullest.
Stan Lee is happy about this, and he likes a pure businessman like Lee Jinyu the most.
As long as you make money,
Such investors are as generous as God in the eyes of those who seek capital.
"I'll talk to Feige."
"Discuss?"
Li Zhenyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was very playful.
This is clearly to let him make a public statement and give himself a clear answer.
"I'll convince him."
Stan Lee smiled and promised him with a grim face.
Whether to give up part of the interests and continue to control the future development direction of Marvel, or to package and sell it to Disney and become a marionette in the hands of others.
Stan Lee is not a good businessman, but that doesn't stop him from making the right judgment.
With Marvel alone, it is impossible to burn money.
With Lee Jin-woo's $1 billion, they were able to kick-start all of their previous filming plans.
What's more, Marvel doesn't have enough resources at its disposal either.
Excellent film talents, almost surrounded by the seven, and those who are outcast also have their own teams.
Outsiders who want to use these talents will have to pay a great price.
It is possible that a film that is a big success will not get any money at all in the end.
All profits can be blackened by large companies under various names.
"Soul Catcher" is a ready-made example.
Advanced equipment, concepts, the best venues, and an excellent production team are the important elements that make up a classic film.
Money is important, but when it's no longer an issue, it looks worthless.
With the support of MGM's production team, Marvel's filming plan will go more smoothly.
"Lee, I'll convince Feiqi, but 35 percent is too high."
"$1 billion in cash, if he wants it, he should learn to accept, not reject."
Li Zhenyu gave real money, not any stock exchange, to pay off debts.
If you want this money, show the utmost sincerity.
He should understand the difference between a package acquisition and a portion of the equity purchase and licensing the equity to the other party, and Kevin Feige should also understand the difference.
If he couldn't even figure this out, Li Zhenyu could only say, 'It's a pity.' ’
After talking to Stan Lee, he hurriedly left the venue early.
Seeing that Lee Jin-woo's side was empty, Sam Mendes hurriedly stepped forward and asked him if he had any ideas or proposals for the next shooting.
Sam Mendes doesn't want to do this, as a director in Hollywood, what he wants most is decision-making power.
But Li Zhenyu's identity and the promise he gave him made him have to do it.
"What I want to say is in the script."
The script was written by him himself, and there is anything else that needs to be reminded.
It's gone, it's all in the script.
"That's it?"
"Yes, that's it."
Sam couldn't hide his joy, he felt that he must have spent his life of luck when he met such a boss.
There are no messy requirements, and they will not interfere in the normal filming of the crew, and they are refreshing and generous to give money.
I just like to play with female stars, which can also be called a requirement?
If it weren't for the age difference, Sam Mendes would have wanted to ask him, "Dear Lee, can you be my godfather?" ”
Yes~
I almost forgot about the children, and the children.
"Lee, are you interested in being my child's godfather?"
Li Zhenyu was very surprised, how could he suddenly mention this, the relationship between them was not good enough to this extent.
"I'm not religious, Sam."
Sam, who had been overexcited before, regained his composure: "Sorry, I'm a little too excited. Trust me, Lee, it's going to work. ”
Sam Mendes only thinks that he is taking care of his emotions, and he will use the reason of 'not being religious' to euphemistically reject himself.
Who is not religious, and where does his soul and his faith belong?
Besides, he is a businessman.
If you were a physicist, he would feel normal.
"Lee, meet again."
Today, the number of people who want to talk to him alone is a bit large, and as soon as Sam Mendes left, Monica, who is the beauty and sex appeal of this film, came to the door.
"You look good, radiant, a little more than when we met before...... A breath of freshness. ”
It is like a peony that has been watered by the rain and blooms brilliantly in the sun.
"Thank you."
Monica Bellucci thanked him with a complicated face.
Because, she didn't know whether this sentence was praising herself or Li Zhenyu's boasting.
He should know best why he became like this, and who he is nourished.
"Is there something wrong?"
Hearing him ask, Monica, who was in a state of speculation, blurted out her thoughts: "I want to ask, if you are free tonight, we can find a place to have a drink alone." ”
'Alone' 'Have a drink'
Taken together, these two elements convey the same meaning as 'come and go'.
"Sorry, I have an appointment......"
Seeing her somewhat lost look, Li Zhenyu took out his mobile phone and shook it and said, "Perhaps, I can ask her if she minds more than one person." ”
Tonight, he asked the Hearst sisters.
To be precise, it was the Hearst sisters who asked him to meet on the Upper East Side tonight, saying that there was something important to talk to him about in person.
Li Zhenyu actually didn't want to toss, but Lydia said it very clearly on the phone.
There is something very important, and Amanda also said on the side that she is not messing around.
Therefore, he could only let the crew make another trip.
Raising his wrist, he glanced at the time, "It's almost time, do you want to go together?" ”
Looking at the palm spread out in front of her, Monica didn't hesitate for long before handing her hand to him.
"When will you come back, do you want to talk to the director? Filming will officially start tomorrow. ”
"Don't worry, you'll be on the crew by dawn tomorrow morning at the latest."
Nodding to Cho Hyun-joo, the other party walked to Sam Mendes, who was telling everyone a summary of the story, how he won his position as director, and the general situation of the filming plan and progress.
Now is the best time to stir up the heat, and the red envelope given at the end of the interview is not for nothing.
"Director Mendes, can you talk to me first?"
When Zhao Xianzhu returned to the car, the car immediately drove to the airport.
In 4 hours and 45 minutes, the Gulfstream G300 landed in New York without a hitch, and the hands on the watch stopped at 5 p.m.
Flip around, and the clock is 3 hours back, and it's 2:35 New York time.
……
PS: The weather is really cool this year, it rains from time to time, and the highest is 30 degrees.
I was going to install an idle machine, but because I was fat, and now I'm tangled again, and I don't feel like I need it at all!
