Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

If you can't get the movie copyright of the Harry Potter series, it's good to get the Fantastic Beasts series. With the copyright of the Fantastic Beasts series, you will have an opportunity to cooperate with Warner later.

Lin Hao took advantage of the Fantastic Beasts series, and Warner will definitely find ways to get it back. After all, it is a prequel to Harry Potter, and it will have bargaining chips.

Lin Hao also plans to add elements of Harry Potter to Universal Studios. In the past, Universal Studios had them, and they also cooperated with Warner, but the price was not small.

"What about the others?" Lin Hao asked again.

"Also, the copyright of the movie "Resident Evil" that you asked me to buy has been purchased from Constantin Film Company in Germany. However, after the release of "Resident Evil 1" in 2002, the global box office was only over 100 million US dollars, but the production cost was 33 million US dollars, and it did not make back the cost at the box office. It can only make back the cost through the peripheral products and videotapes in the later stage."

Robert was a little confused as to why Lin Hao valued this. If the novels of "Harry Potter" were best-sellers all over the world and the movies were also a big hit, it was understandable that Lin Hao wanted him, but he really did not see the potential of the "Resident Evil" series.

This is also why Constantin Film Company was willing to sell. The first one did not make money at the box office, so the subsequent series naturally had to be carefully considered.

To be honest, the global box office of the "Resident Evil" series is not too high.

"Resident Evil 1": released on March 15, 2002, with a production cost of 33 million US dollars, a North American box office of 40.11 million US dollars, an overseas box office of 62.86 million US dollars, and a global total box office of 102 million US dollars;

"Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse": released on September 10, 2004, with a production cost of 45 million US dollars, a North American box office of 51.2 million US dollars, an overseas box office of 78.14 million US dollars, and a global total box office of 129 million US dollars;

"Resident Evil 3: Extinction": released on September 21, 2007, with a production cost of 45 million US dollars, a North American box office of 50 million US dollars, an overseas box office of 97.76 million US dollars, and a global total box office of 148 million US dollars;

"Resident Evil 4: Resurrection": released on September 10, 2010, with a production cost of 60 million US dollars, a North American box office of 60.12 million US dollars, an overseas box office of 240 million US dollars, and a global total box office of 296 million US dollars;

"Resident Evil" 5: Punishment: Released on September 14, 2012, with a production cost of $65 million, a North American box office of $42.34 million, an overseas box office of $198 million, and a global total box office of $240 million.

The production cost of "Resident Evil 6: The Final Chapter" was $40 million. Its North American box office was $26.83 million, its overseas box office was $285 million (including RMB 1.109 billion in mainland China), and its global total box office reached $312 million.

They are basically 100 million or 200 million US dollars, but they are very popular in China, and their popularity is very wide. The box office in China is also very high. "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" had a box office of RMB 208 million on the first day of its release in China. In less than 48 hours after its release, the domestic box office reached RMB 460 million. It successfully broke the 800 million mark in 7 days after its release, and its Chinese box office exceeded the total box office in other parts of the world.

Although the box office is not too high, Lin Hao likes this movie very much, so he bought it. Although the box office is not high, there is still some profit. In the previous life, the production and distribution companies of the "Resident Evil" series were not Hollywood giants, and the box office was not strong because of this. Now it is naturally different with Universal Pictures.

Whether it is the "Fantastic Beasts" series or the "Resident Evil" series, they are all planned by Lin Hao a long time ago. Universal Pictures is very important to Lin Hao. In the next 20 years, the global film industry can be said to be the world of Hollywood. It is conquering cities and castles all over the world. As the leader of Hollywood, Universal Pictures can bring huge profits.

In addition to these two series, there is also the Marvel series. Lin Hao has asked Menier to acquire it. Marvel is almost bankrupt at this time, so it is not difficult to acquire it. With Marvel, there is no need to worry about the box office of future movies.

The first thing Lin Hao did when he returned to the United States was to finalize the acquisition of Marvel, so as to avoid more trouble. Although Disney acquired Marvel in 2009 in the previous life, it was better to acquire it early in case something unexpected happened.

"Very good, we'll talk about the rest after we get to the company." Lin Hao was still very confident in Robert's work, and he was always very steady......

Back in Paris again, Lin Hao was in a good mood. Back in Paris, Lin Hao couldn't help but think of Sophie Marceau, and his heart couldn't help but warm up. He wondered if she was in France or Paris.

Soon he came to the bottom of the company building. Haohan Capital has a branch in Paris, not only in Paris, but also in many cities in Europe.

Lin Hao registered many companies in Europe this time. As Haohan Capital controlled more and more companies and the scale of the company became larger and larger, Lin Hao redivided the equity of Haohan Capital. The shares behind it were cross-shared in various ways before. This time, most of the shares of the cross-shareholding companies were injected into the company registered in Europe this time. Anyway, Lin Hao himself did not have any shares.

"Boss, according to your request, we will reorganize all the luxury brands acquired this time, including Valentino, Bulgari, Richemont Group's luxury brands Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, Van Cleef & Arpels, Piaget, Montblanc, etc., and 51% of Gucci Group's shares, including Gucci, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, etc., into a luxury group. The headquarters of the group will be in Paris. What do you think the name should be?"

Robert asked Lin Hao. After acquiring Richemont Group's luxury business, Lin Hao now has enough luxury brands, but they are all very scattered. Reintegrating them together will be more conducive to development.

After hearing Robert's words, Lin Hao really didn't know what name to give. Originally, the name Gucci was good, and all other famous brands could be directly injected into the Gucci Group.

But Lin Hao only owns 51% of Gucci's shares, and the rest is with Kering Group, which is the world's third largest luxury company, and the Gucci brand is only a second-tier brand, which is not high enough to be used as a reorganized luxury group.

In this European luxury acquisition, what Lin Hao actually wants to acquire the most are LV, Hermes and Chanel. These three are all luxury brands, and Hermes is a top luxury brand. Unfortunately, it is not so easy to purchase these three brands.
