China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

Ten hours later, we landed in the United States.

Then go directly to the summit.

No more nonsense, let’s get to work first.

This time, the special effects production of "Iron Man" went smoothly because of the buffs.

Of course there are areas that need to be changed, but that’s okay, it’s just a minor problem.

The overall estimate is that it will be completed in about 4 months, that is, June.

It won’t be a big problem to catch up with the summer release. If not, it will be released in the Christmas release.

Nowadays, Ping An Lu does not have to worry too much about schedule issues in Lao America.

"Directed by Lu Ping'an" is the signature, and its commercial value is very solid.

Robert Downey Jr. is also very dedicated. It is said that he has not taken any other roles since the filming was completed. He is always on call at home and has been on call for several months.

For this attitude, Lu Pingan decided to give him some rewards.

Let him come to China to represent Burger King later.

Everything worked fine for Iron Man, and so did the rest of the projects.

It’s March, another spooky month.

Lu Ping'an's "Saw" has reached its sixth installment.

"Human Purge Plan" has also reached its second part.

And "Insidious 2" is finally about to be released.

After James Wan finishes filming "Insidious 2", he will start preparing for his new movie "The Conjuring" series.

Generally speaking, in terms of low-budget horror films, the top company is still the leading company.

This will also bring great help to Dingfeng’s road to listing.

Of course, overall, the market value of the peak is also significant. Watts said that it was worth US$3 billion when it was listed, which is not comparable to the six major companies.

If there are no big hit movies in the future, the increase will be limited.

Of course Lu Ping'an knew what he meant, so he just said: "Go somewhere with me in a few days."

"Why go?"

"Sign a contract."

"What contract?"

"We will know when the time comes. I can only tell you that after this contract is signed, in the future, based on this contract alone, even if all other Summit projects are fully invested, the market value will not be less than 10 billion US dollars!"

"real or fake?"

"Bet or not?"

"Again!"

Watts chuckled and asked no more questions. He knew Lu Pingping had a plan.

Then move on to the project.

At present, Summit will probably be launched in the second half of the year. After the launch, in addition to arrangements for commercial films, there will also be arrangements for award-winning films.

And the movie that was taken out was also famous, it was "The Hurt Locker" that defeated "Avatar" in the original time and space.

The film was filmed in 2007 and will be released this summer to compete for next year's Oscars.

Of course, Watts doesn't have much confidence in the film, because Hollywood already knows that Cameron's new movie is coming, and it is said to be amazing.

Lu Ping An didn't say much about this and just asked Watts to make a budget.

Two days later, Lu Pingan temporarily ended his production work on "Iron Man", and then joined Marvel again with Xiang Guoqiang.

This time the contract was officially signed.

Last time Marvel, Disney and Lu Ping An discussed the acquisition.

The plan is now finalized.

Disney will use US$3 billion in cash to acquire 85% of Marvel's shares, which means a market value of 3.5 billion, which is 40% higher than the 2.5 billion market value Lu Ping An negotiated at the time.

At the same time, Lu Ping An’s shares and the original gambling contract with Marvel will not be affected.

At that time, it will be diluted according to the total acquisition plan.

At this point, Disney fully demonstrates their style.

They think this is a matter between Ping An and Marvel.

All they have to do is give Marvel and Lu Ping An enough room to play without intervening too much.

If Lu Ping'an wins the bet, everyone will be happy.

Of course, Marvel has also made more detailed additions to the gambling agreement.

In the future, the box office of "Iron Man" must reach 800 million, so that Lu Ping An can obtain 20% of the shares.

For every 100 million less, it will be 5% less. If the box office is less than 500 million, then there is no need to talk about increasing the shares, and it is regarded as a failure of the bet.

The gambling agreement will not affect Lu Pingan's production rights to the Iron Man trilogy, because the copyright is now in his hands.

It's just that if the box office of "Iron Man 1" is really bad, then of course the right to speak will be affected when making subsequent movies.

This is normal, and Lu Pingping understands.

On the same day, the three parties signed a contract.

In this wave, Lu Ping An directly received 140% of the profit from Marvel’s early investment.

It’s just that this wave of profits is dead.

The market value of Marvel Studios will skyrocket in the future, but the company will not be listed. It will not be easy for Lu Ping An to cash out his shares.

But there is a way to do this. This is the contract that Lu Ping An and Watts talked about before.

On the afternoon of the next day, Lu Pingan signed an investment agreement on behalf of Dingfeng, Xingchen and Marvel Films.

The agreement states that Summit and Stars will invest in future Marvel movies regardless of their prospects, with the total investment amount not less than 5%, and will not voluntarily withdraw their capital. In addition, Summit and Stars will give Marvel Studios permanent Prepared $200 million in interest-free loans for film production.

Among the investment amounts and loans, Xingchen and Dingfeng each share half.

This is just like long-term advertising sponsorship agreements. Hollywood companies have many similar contracts. Such contracts are indeed legally effective and comply with the rules of the game.

But generally speaking, no one would really play like this.

Just like advertisers who sponsor NBA rookies, they rarely use lifetime contracts.

Today's Marvel Studios is a rookie player that seems to have a bright future, but no one knows what the future holds.

Lu Ping'an is playing like this. To put it bluntly, he is mentally ill and has too much money in his pocket and no place to spend it.

To put it nicely, it is natural that the new shareholder Lu Pingan has unimaginable confidence in Marvel Studios.

This is a good thing, but faith cannot be eaten as food.

So faced with the 5% investment insurance and the interest-free loan of US$200 million.

Marvel and Disney directly accepted it and said to Lu Ping'an: Welcome to Marvel, I hope you won't need it in the future.

Lu Ping'an was also very happy.

With this paper agreement, even though it is only 5%, the future market value of Dingfeng and Xingchen has a huge guarantee.

Marvel's market value has increased, and its own company's stock price has followed suit. This wave has allowed the company to buy a ticket and go directly to the expressway.

Of course, Lu Ping'an couldn't help but wonder, if he could time travel five or six years earlier. Forget it, let's look to the future.

After signing the contract, the three companies held a small cocktail party.

The next day, Disney’s acquisition of Marvel was also reported in the newspapers.

Not many details of the transaction were disclosed, except that Lu Ping An was officially announced as the person in charge of the Iron Man project.

After the news came out, Marvel fans were excited again.

Marvel's "Captain America" ​​and "The Incredible Hulk" hit the market online, and Marvel fans have accumulated too many regrets.

It wasn't until Lu Pingan said he wanted to film "Iron Man" that he regained his confidence.

Now that Disney has acquired Marvel, Lu Ping An has officially joined.

Marvel, there is help!

There were many disturbances from the outside world, but Lu Pingping continued to do his own thing.

Two days later, Lu Ping'an didn't pay much attention to it. He was going back to his country.

Before taking off, Guorong called.

"Peace, do you want to see my child?" (End of Chapter)
