When night comes, Shao Shuaijun writes and draws in the study room of the villa. The series "Dance My Life" can be used as a signature, and if it continues, almost every one of it has exceeded 100 million. There are also "Twilight"
There are several movies that can be explored. Twilight, Breaking Dawn, and Breaking Dawn are all planned sequels. It will not be a problem to create another 2 billion box office for Ding Feng.
The "Hunger Games" series is obviously a box office money-making machine, and it is not difficult to win a box office of 2 billion. The "Sherlock Holmes" series, if it is managed well, can also form a very long series. And once "Planet of the Apes"
Now that I have bought the rights, it is definitely a series that I can continue to explore.
The series "The Hangover" is definitely going to be continued, and we will strive to have an R-rated comedy like this every year. After all, the cost is too low, and you will still make money no matter how much or how little you make. And "Teddy Bear" can also be
As a series, any movie that makes money can be made into a sequel.
If you do a detailed calculation, there are also "Weakness: Progress of the Game", "Slumdog Millionaire", "Life of Pi", "Warm Bodies", etc. Shao Shuaijun has already included all the movies he can find.
We found it out and laid a solid foundation for Summit Entertainment. As long as we don't run it haphazardly, it won't be a problem to maintain its glory for ten years.
"What are you writing?"
Li Xiuxiu entered the study at some point and put a coat on Shao Shuaijun. The weather changed suddenly tonight, and it started to snow outside. It didn't snow on Christmas, but it started snowing after Christmas.
The flavor of Christmas here in the United States has lost a lot.
For Shao Shuaijun, it doesn't matter if he can't celebrate Christmas, since it's not a traditional Chinese festival.
"I'm thinking about movies. The company will increase its scale next year, invest more in movie production, strive to capture more box office market share, and then increase the stock price. I think once we acquire Marvel Comics,
There will definitely be some problems in the capital chain, and you must have a strong ability to attract money to make the stock market strong. After this period of time, after the superheroes return to the team, it will be the time for Summit Entertainment to become a giant!" Shao Shuaijun said confidently.
Li Xiuxiu smiled slightly: "Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and Summit Entertainment will go public tomorrow. I don't know why, when Dream Chase Jiahe went public for financing, I stayed up all night. Now, I leave all the preparation work to others, but I am normal.
It’s very strange to go to and from work.”
Shao Shuaijun chuckled: "Humans, it is inevitable that you will feel uneasy for the first time. You are afraid of pain and fear of something going wrong. After the first time, you will become familiar with the routine and there is nothing to be nervous about."
"What are you talking about? My mind is full of dirty thoughts."
"Who are you? I'm talking about the reaction to the listing. Isn't it just uneasy, worried that the stock will be worthless, and afraid of this or that situation? Once you have experience and prepare for another listing, there will be nothing to make a fuss about.
What I said was very serious, I really don’t know who would like to associate it with that.”
"Okay, who are you talking about? You dare to arrange for me." Li Xiuxiu immediately rushed over with her teeth and claws open.
Shao Shuaijun reacted quickly, twisted his body, stretched out his hands, and hugged Li Xiuxiu, who was rushing towards him, and then kissed Li Xiuxiu's lips, defusing the deadly attack.
Two men and women kissed so passionately.
After a long time, they left panting heavily.
Li Xiuxiu smoothed her hair, leaned on Shao Shuaijun's shoulder, and asked, "Aren't you going to attend the listing press conference tomorrow?"
"No, leave it to Mitchell to take the lead. After all, this is the United States. Mitchell will make Summit Entertainment look more like an American company, rather than an American company acquired by a Chinese company. The acquisition of Marvel Comics is not
It's an easy thing, and we have to make sure that it doesn't arouse any unnecessary national sentiments."
Cross-border acquisitions have always been a difficult problem. It is not just a business move, but political factors and public sentiment have to be taken into consideration. Marvel Comics is an American comic giant, and it is nothing for an American company to acquire Marvel Comics. But a company with a Chinese background,
When acquiring Marvel Comics, we must consider whether the majority of comic fans will accept it.
Shao Shuaijun is Chinese and feels that it is better to keep a low profile at this time and let Mitchell take the lead in everything so that the Americans think that this is an internal transaction between the Americans and there will not be too much interference. He can only come out after the deal is done.
Very good.
"Walt Disney is very powerful, we may not be our opponents." Li Xiuxiu was a little worried.
"Comparing strength, we are not weak after listing. Don't forget that we have Dream Chase and Dream Entertainment as our backers. The total capital of Dream Entertainment Group now exceeds more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, which is more than the market value of Walt Disney
It needs to be even stronger. Once Summit Entertainment goes public, Dream Chaser Entertainment Group will become a giant."
Shao Shuaijun said calmly: "What we are fighting for is just a bid. Our bid is high and the cooperation conditions are good. Marvel Comics is the natural way to choose. No one will have trouble with money. Besides, Walt Disney is not necessarily willing to pay a high price.
Marvel's superhero copyrights, some of the most famous ones, have all been sold. If you want to get them back, you need more investment. Those who retain the copyrights are less famous heroes. They will spend a lot of money for such a show.
Is it very powerful? I don’t think so.”
Not everyone knows the future direction. Walt Disney was looking ahead when he judged that superheroes would have great achievements in the future.
But it is limited to knowing that superheroes can do something. As for what kind of achievements they will do, even if you stand in front of the boss of Disney and tell him that Batman is not the only box office miracle, more superheroes will set off more miracles.
Box office. He probably didn’t believe it either.
So far, the most popular superheroes are Superman, Batman and Spider-Man, and perhaps Iron Man.
Only Summit Entertainment, led by Shao Shuaijun, has the courage to put all the company's bets on superheroes who don't know how much they can earn.
"Where do you think our limit is?" Li Xiuxiu does not have the confidence of Shao Shuaijun.
"There is no limit. As long as we can do it, we will buy Marvel Comics at all costs. Unless they don't want to sell it, if they want to sell it, it must belong to us."
Li Xiuxiu frowned: "Now the company has unified opinions on the acquisition of Marvel Comics, but to be honest, everyone is confused and doesn't know how to develop it. Superheroes can make money, but the money earned can make up for our expenses.
?”
"Everything is possible!" Shao Shuaijun laughed, "I already have a plan. Once we acquire Marvel Comics, we will start shooting a movie with a large collection of superheroes called "Avengers", Iron Man, and the Hulk.
, Green Arrow, Captain America, and Thor will all appear in the movie. A single superhero is a movie, and together they are also a movie. The future will be brilliant."
…
On January 1, 2009, New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar, Summit Entertainment was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Shao Shuaijun didn't pay attention to the specific stock market conditions. He was drinking coffee with a sixty-year-old strong man in a cafe in Hollywood. This man who was still a strong man at the age of sixty was none other than a generation of martial arts superstar Cyril
West Stallone. One of the three tough guys on the big screen in the 1980s.
Stallone can't help but be good at acting, writing and directing. "Rocky", which he wrote and acted in, became a sensation and not only conquered the audience, but also conquered the Oscar. This is his most brilliant movie. And then "Rocky"
The sequels, as well as the "First Blood" series written, directed and acted in, have all created brilliant box office success.
Regrettably, except for "Rocky", which was recognized by the Oscars, the other films starring Stallone could only be recognized by the Golden Raspberry Awards, and he was even awarded the Worst Actor of the 20th Century award by the Golden Raspberry Awards.
"Hello Mr. Stallone, I grew up watching your movies, Rocky and Rambo, they are so cool." Shao Shuaijun first complimented Stallone.
Although Stallone is old, he is still as strong as ever. Fortunately, the two of them are sitting face to face. If they were squeezed together, Shao Shuaijun would be at least one size smaller than Stallone. Stallone's facial nerves have been damaged, so he always has the same cold expression.
He also spoke very directly: "Hello, Director Shao. It's a pleasure to have coffee with you. I wonder if Director Shao wants to see me for anything?"
"Of course, I recently reviewed the action blockbusters of the 1980s. I feel that the action scenes in today's movies are more like vaudeville, without any beauty of violence. Suddenly, I feel very regretful. So I came up with an idea, why not make Hollywood
All the action superstars gathered together to make a nostalgic action blockbuster?"
"Oh, Director Shao has a new movie plan? I heard that you are filming an art film, right?"
Shao Shuaijun nodded and said: "I am filming "Pumping Heart". I do have an idea for a movie, but I am not good at shooting this kind of tough guy action movies. So I found you, Mr. Stallone. I hope to invite you to star.
and direct this movie."
"Is there a script?"
"No."
"No?"
Shao Shuaijun nodded: "The movie only has a general outline of the story, which is about a group of mercenaries who received a mission and went to a small island to overthrow the local armed forces. Then they fell into a crisis, and then there were all kinds of battles. To be honest,
The plot is not important, you can play it as you like, the main purpose is to stage a tough guy action drama. If you agree, everything from the script to the casting will be left to you, and we, Summit Entertainment, will invest."
"This..." Stallone was a little moved, but also a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, Mr. Stallone, the remuneration will definitely be in line with your worth, and you will be in charge of the entire movie. We only make investments, and you have full power to decide the direction of the movie."
Stallone thought about it for a moment and then agreed: "Okay, I accept!" Since the 1990s, his acting career has gone downhill. It is a joy for him to accept an invitation to make a movie.
, no need to think too much.
"Then it's settled. Oh, by the way, I can provide the name of a movie, just for reference. I call it "Suicide Squad"."
"The Expendables" is an American action film written, directed and starred by future Sylvester Stallone. It is full of vulgar scenes and arrogant logic. It recreates the feelings of men in the past and pays tribute to the action movies of the 1980s and 1990s. The film brings together
Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Jet Li and many other action stars performed with heroic and iron-blooded performances.
In my memory, "The Expendables" was also a series. Before Shao Shuaijun was reborn, two movies had been released, both of which had a global box office of US$230 million, which was very profitable. Since Summit Entertainment wants to expand, "The Expendables" must be included in the franchise.
Make it clear with Stallone and determine when to sign the contract and when to start filming.
Today's task is completed.
After doing the math, Shao Shuaijun secretly muttered: "The Expendables is the future masterpiece of Lionsgate Pictures, and The Hunger Games is also the future masterpiece of Lionsgate Pictures. The Twilight Saga and Warm Bodies are both.
Future productions of Lionsgate Pictures. Why do I feel that I have a grudge against Lionsgate Pictures? I am stealing the future of Lionsgate Pictures. Oh, I am so embarrassed... When can I wait?
, and now that Lionsgate has been acquired, we’re all one family, so there’s no need to be so concerned about it, right?”
So busy with trivial matters, and delayed for more than a week, Shao Shuaijun finally returned to the crew of "Pumping Heart".
When making movies in the past, Shao Shuaijun couldn't wait to devote himself to it.
Now I have to divide my time and can only squeeze out a small part of it for filming movies.
Sometimes Shao Shuaijun himself feels that he has embarked on a path completely opposite to his dream. In his dream, he wanted to be a pure person for movies, but now, he has no pure self at all. The reality is always constant.
It drives people, like inertia, to keep running forward.
As I ran, I lost my way.
Wait until you remember and turn around.
Huo Ran realized that he had already run to another runway.
"Fortunately, I have finally finished everything I have to do, and I will no longer care about the company's affairs from now on!" Shao Shuaijun said to himself with a bit of shame.
The crew had almost finished rehearsing the play. As soon as Shao Shuaijun arrived, he immediately entered into shooting mode...
At this time, Summit Entertainment's stock had just been circulated and was immediately robbed. In just half a day, it had already reached the daily limit. With the Twilight series' global money grabbing and Twitter's strong registered users, Summit Entertainment's stock was naturally a high-quality stock.
It's normal to go crazy.
And this weekend, the box office of "The Hangover" in its third week was also released, with 26.78 million US dollars. It once again won the North American weekend box office championship. This is the third consecutive championship, with a total box office of 164.2 million US dollars, achieving an incredible R-level low cost.
Comedy Miracle Box Office.
As if the wind fanned the fire, Summit Entertainment's stock continued to rise in the next week, rising from US$1 per share to US$8 per share before it began to stabilize. In other words, Summit Entertainment's capital
It has increased by eight times. Originally it was US$1.5 billion, but now it has a market value of US$12 billion.
With a market value of nearly 90 billion yuan, it has surpassed Dream Chaser Golden Harvest to become the subsidiary with the highest market value under Dream Chase Entertainment Group. Now that they have money, they immediately launched a fierce offensive to acquire Marvel Comics.
Super hero, Shao Shuaijun is bound to win! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
