Back To 2005

"In addition, I want to acquire a special effects company in Hong Kong Island."

Unexpectedly, the other party supported his shooting plan so easily, and Li Donglai was a little embarrassed to tell him another request.

However, the revitalization of Chinese science fiction films is not just talk. The cost and cycle of investment are enough to prohibit ordinary people. Otherwise, there would not be a representative science fiction film in China.

Rushing to launch science fiction movies will only continue to smash the brand of Chinese science fiction movies and only make people laugh.

"I support Director Li's idea. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. If we want to make our Chinese science fiction movies well, we must have a professional special effects team of our own. I don't know what good things Director Li has proposal?"

Unexpectedly, Li Donglai had considered it so comprehensively, so Zhou Anan naturally wanted to express his strong support. After all, it was not his money that was spent in the end.

Furthermore, the acquisition of a special effects company will also lay the foundation for the company's future major movies and high-end TV series, saving the audience from complaining about special effects for 50 cents in the future.

Also, when 3D movies become popular in a few years, good special effects companies will not worry about running out of business.

"I have researched that Jiying Company in Hong Kong is preparing to sell. They have participated in the production of "The Legend of Shushan" and the special effects of many international blockbusters. The production team has a good foundation. If Mr. Zhou agrees, I would like to work with your company Acquire this special effects company. Just use the first two movies to get used to it."

After meeting a close friend for a long time, Li Donglai enthusiastically introduced the special effects company he was interested in and planned a development route.

Hollywood is undergoing a hidden revolution. When Cameron's 3D movie succeeds, film special effects will become the mainstream in the next ten years, and special effects companies will not worry about business at all.

If it weren't for his limited energy in directing movies, Li Donglai would have wanted to acquire this company, which represents the pinnacle of special effects in Hong Kong Island, as a sole proprietor.

Now that Blue Whale Entertainment endorses it, that would be great.

Especially since the other party has such a forward-looking major shareholder, the future of Chinese science fiction movies is promising.

"When the time comes, I will have someone contact Director Li and we will start putting on airs as soon as possible."

Some people are stupid enough to endorse the rich second generation, and Zhou Anan doesn't pay for the investment costs.

Whoever made Blue Whale Entertainment already have a debt of 1 billion, the money in the account is not his money and cannot be invested in real estate and the stock market. Let them contribute to the revitalization of domestic science fiction movies.

"good."

Li Donglai was very excited when he met such a big boss who supported him. He had a great appetite and ate several plates in a row.

After talking about the future development of the film, Zhou Anan successfully fooled this professional international director with his forward-looking vision.

When he finally escaped, Zhou Anan looked at his watch and saw that it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

We chatted for three hours, and he didn't know when he would become so eloquent.

Asking the company's private car driver to take the beautiful secretary back first, Zhou Anan made a phone call and asked the driver to drive to Nanzhouyuan.

After retrieving the Maserati that he had stored in the parking lot for many days, Zhou Anan drove to Yintai Plaza. His girlfriend and classmate Wang Fengman had not yet finished watching the movie.

"Classmate Zhou, aren't you going a little too far? You left your girlfriend to me and didn't even treat her to dinner."

Half an hour later, the movie ended. When Wang Min saw the male classmates waiting there, he couldn't help but complain.

Wang Min was secretly happy to be temporarily recruited, but he couldn't say it.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to a supper."

As usual, Zhou Anan took a look at classmate Wang's sins, took his girlfriend's hand, and said with a smile.

"That's pretty much it."

Wang Min is already familiar with this kind of thing.

After arriving at the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, she took the order without mercy, which was a kind of revenge for the two of them lying in front of her.

"Are you going back tomorrow morning?"

Zhou Anan asked after grabbing a piece of Shaomai for his girlfriend.

"Well, my mother has called me several times. Anyway, we will go back to school in a few days."

Speaking of this, Shi Mingxia was also full of reluctance.

"Hey, you two, don't show off your affection in front of me, you're getting tired of me."

Wang Min, who had goosebumps while eating noodles, quickly interrupted the two of them.

"."

The full parting friendship was ruined by the light bulb. Zhou Anan did not continue the topic and thoughtfully gave his girlfriend something to eat.

Returning to the house in Guanhuyuan, Zhou Anan had already had someone clean it up in advance. The largest guest room was handed over to Mr. Wang, and he and his girlfriend naturally entered the master bedroom.

Parting is imminent, and the love is deep.

The next morning, after Zhou Anan went for a run and bought breakfast, when he asked the two girls to get up, there was still a little black around Wang Min's eye circles.

Isn't the sound insulation effect of this room bad?

Zhou Anan remembered that the air conditioner was on in the master bedroom last night and the doors and windows were closed.

"Wang Min, what are your plans next?"

When sending his girlfriend to the bus station, Zhou Anan asked the plump girl who was chatting privately with her in the back seat.

"I'm going to stay at my aunt's house in Hangzhou for two days first. You can just take me to the bus stop later."

"OK."

After seeing off his girlfriend Yiyi, Zhou Anan dropped her plump girl classmate at a bus stop and drove to Blue Whale Entertainment.

When he arrived at the conference room, all the shareholders were there, including Mr. Li who was not doing his job properly.

"An'an, let's have lunch together later."

After not seeing his little brother for two days, Wang Xiaoxiao missed his brother's barbecue dinner.

"I have arranged lunch. How about dinner or midnight snack?"

"Fine."

After chatting for a while, everyone got down to the topic. General Manager Feng introduced the situation of bank loans. No one present had any idea about the loan of 1 billion.

Zhou Anan felt a little bored at such a calm and harmonious shareholders' meeting.

". We have coordinated with Excalibur Capital, and one person contributed half of the capital to acquire 45.8% of Marvel's shares. We got 23% of the shares and needed to pay a fee of US$98 million, which converted into Chinese dollars is 720.3 million. At present, the company has remaining The available funds are 385.65 million, but we have to cooperate with director Li Donglai to develop a science fiction movie."

After talking about the loan, Feng Jiming talked about the highlight of today's meeting.

On Marvel's side, several major shareholders and CEOs disagreed with Blue Whale Entertainment's sole acquisition of their company's shares.

After communication with Excalibur Capital, they both acquired the company together, and obtained the approval of Marvel's board of directors.

It is unclear whether there is a secret operation by Excalibur Capital. Blue Whale Entertainment, which can only passively accept the new acquisition plan, has a lot less financial pressure. The original loan of 1.5 billion has been reduced to 1 billion.

Coupled with the repayments from several of the company's projects, Blue Whale Entertainment still has a lot of liquidity left, enough to start the production of a major science fiction movie.

The first step is to acquire Jiying Special Effects Company in Hong Kong City, which requires more than 50 million yuan.

Jiying Special Effects currently cannot make ends meet, but some of its own assets and equipment are still relatively valuable.

Of course, the most valuable thing is the large number of special effects production talents it has gathered over the years.

Those special effects production teams alone can save several years of time compared to building a special effects company from scratch.

In addition, after acquiring the special effects company, in order to cooperate with Li Donglai's 3D film production, he also had to purchase a series of advanced computer equipment, which cost a lot of money.

Revitalizing domestic science fiction is not something we just talk about casually.

"We need to speed up communication with Jiying Special Effects and get started as soon as possible. Cameron has already started production in April and is expected to release it by the end of 2009 or early 2010. We can speed up the production progress and take advantage of their success."

After General Manager Feng finished speaking, Zhou Anan continued.

He clearly remembers that Cameron did not let the audience down this time. "Avatar" reaped billions of dollars at the box office and made huge profits.

If "The Martian" can take advantage of this trend, it will definitely get a good box office and enter the international film market.

"No problem. If our movie is successful, then our Blue Whale Entertainment brand will be fully launched. It is the first 3D science fiction movie in China, which is exciting just thinking about it."

When talking about the company's future aspirations, Feng Jiming's face was full of smiles.

Compared to dad's small company, it is nowhere comparable to the big entertainment company he is now in charge of. Let dad's little bit of property be inherited by the future younger brother or sister in the mistress's belly.

"Can cartoons be made into 3D?"

Li Shucheng, who rarely spoke at the side, asked, and the meaning was obvious.
