Reborn Technology Upstart

It is precisely because it is very troublesome to shoot foreign movies in China, so the reason why Ye Zishu is more keen on shooting animated movies is that he does not need to worry about finding actors, nor does he need to find shooting locations.

All you need is a good script, and then give it to Phoenix Film and Television for special effects, and it will take about a month to complete the production, which is much simpler and less troublesome.

The last time I filmed "Titanic", I just invited so many European and American people to participate in the performance, and the transportation expenses were a lot of money, and the transportation expenses for group performances alone accounted for a large proportion.

Ye Shu can spend such money, after all, he is sure that "Titanic" can bring a lot of income, compared with the huge income, these costs are negligible.

But the people of Shengshi Film and Television Company can't think like this. When they shoot the movie, they don't have that much confidence. It is a low-cost movie, of course it can be a little less.

Therefore, the best shooting location is overseas, or the film needs very few foreign characters, so that it can be shot domestically at a lower cost.

Hearing Zhang Guoli's words, Ye Zishu took out the script from the bag. Despite the four movies, the thickness of the script is still considerable.

Because the scripts he writes are very detailed, including all the storyboard scripts. He has always been like this. One is to set a good example for the people in the company, and the other is that it is not easy to make mistakes in the execution.

"So many?" Zhang Guoli saw the scripts on the table, stood up immediately, flipped through all the scripts, and said.

"There are four scripts, three animation scripts, and one live-action movie, all of which are the first in the series, so when shooting, try to follow the script as much as possible." Ye Zishu said.

"Is this the whole plan of Mr. Ye for filming next year?" Zhang Guoli asked.

"Actually, I'm going to shoot two live-action movies. The other one is called "The Lord of the Rings", which can also be called "The Lord of the Rings". However, the copyright is currently in the hands of others, and I need to purchase the adaptation copyright, so I haven't written it for the time being." Ye Zi said the book.

When Zhang Guoli heard what Ye Zishu said, he immediately became interested. With Ye Zishu's talent, he actually wanted to adapt someone else's, which means that this book has the value of adapting, or has a strong appeal.

"Leave the copyright purchase to us, and we will handle it properly!" Zhang Guoli said with a smile.

Because in Zhang Guoli's view, as long as it can bring huge benefits, it is not unacceptable to pay a higher price for purchasing copyrights, but he thinks things are simple.

"Now the film and television adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings" are in the hands of the Weinstein brothers, the founders of Miramax,

Of course, it is also possible that the copyright is held in the name of the company.

Whether it is held in the name of the company or in their own name, it is very difficult for us to buy it, because they are all people who know the goods. "Ye Zishu also said with a smile.

"Then what should I do?" Zhang Guoli was dumbfounded. If he bought it from the author, as long as the price is right, it is usually easy to buy it.

But in the hands of film and television companies or filmmakers, it is more troublesome to buy, and the price paid may be much higher.

Shooting a movie is definitely risky. If you spend a huge amount of money to buy copyrights, the cost will increase a lot. If you don't make money, it will be a stick.

"So the way I think about it is to buy Miramax. Anyway, you are worrying about how to shoot foreign films. When you have your own Hollywood film company, it will be much easier for you to shoot.

This company can help with movie casting, and even shooting scenes can also be assisted by them. You only need to bring the shooting team over there, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble.

You can even cooperate with Miramax to shoot movies. They have produced many good movies before, and their professionalism is still very high.

You can learn a lot in the process of working with them, which is very important for your growth, what do you think? "Leaf Book said.

Hearing what Ye Zishu said, Zhang Guoli suddenly understood, yes, this company is not a Hollywood giant, and the acquisition should not cost much.

"How much will it cost to acquire this company?" Zhang Guoli asked carefully.

"It won't cost much, I think it will be between US$80 million and US$100 million, and with the strength of Shengshi Film and Television Company, it is still capable of acquiring it.

But we need to be quick, because Disney is also starting to focus on this company, and I hope you immediately form an acquisition team and hire professional acquisition personnel to assist.

I hope to acquire it in the shortest possible time. If Disney gets involved, the acquisition will be more troublesome. They will definitely raise the price on the ground, and the price will be a bit high at that time. "Leaf Book said.

Hearing what Ye Zishu said, Zhang Guoli nodded and said, "We will push this matter forward later, and at the same time contact the Hollywood office to help contact professional acquisition personnel for assistance."

my country's current overseas acquisition experience is very insufficient. In the acquisition process, it is best to invite professional acquisition personnel. If it is an acquisition of a large company, a professional acquisition team may be required to be responsible.

Obviously, it is not necessary to hire a professional acquisition team to acquire Miramax, but it is very necessary to hire professional lawyers and asset appraisers.

Ye Zishu and Zhang Guoli talked about the points that need to be paid attention to in overseas acquisitions, so as to avoid them stepping into the trap. At the same time, they also emphasized that it is best if they can be acquired, and if the cost is too high, just give up.

There are too many live-action movies he can shoot, and they are not limited to "Lord of the Rings".

"By the way, when purchasing, confirm whether the copyrights of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" are in the company's or their own hands.

Although we hope to acquire their company, we also hope to acquire the copyright of the film and television adaptation of these two books. If it is in their personal hands, we will give priority to acquiring the copyright of the adaptation of these two books.

If it is in the hands of the company, then we can make some appropriate concessions when acquiring the company, but we can't be too eager to let the other party see through our intentions.

I think you need to find someone completely unrelated to us to inquire about copyright matters, and don't want us to come forward in person, which will easily expose our purpose. "Leaf Book said.

"I know how to do it." Zhang Guoli said.

After talking about these things, Ye Zishu asked, "Is there any progress in the acquisition of Shanghai Animation Film Studio?"

Zhang Guoli shook his head and said: "At first, we thought that after we achieved good results in our three animated films this year, we could show the outside world our strength in the field of animation film production.

This should impress the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, but the effect does not seem to be good. The other party still did not agree, and their superior unit also did not agree.

On the contrary, their ordinary employees did not resist this, because they are very clear about the situation of this company and still want to change the current state. "

After hearing this, Ye Zishu felt a little strange. How could it be the other way around? Generally speaking, grassroots people are more opposed to being acquired by private companies, because it will seriously infringe on their interests. How can private companies compare with iron rice bowls.

Zhang Guoli saw his doubts and said: "These painters are all capable, and those who are truly capable will not worry about being eliminated wherever they go."

Hearing Zhang Guoli's explanation, Ye Zishu nodded. He agrees with this. The more average a person is, the more chance he has to rely on the power of the organization to survive.

This is also because the more powerful a person is, the less likely he is to form cliques, and the more average a person is, the more he likes to exploit relationships, because he can only use this to get a better chance of survival.

In previous lives, people who like to exploit relationships were called high EQ. In fact, this is determined by the living environment. If you don’t even engage in this, and you don’t have other abilities, you can’t starve to death?

"Then give up the acquisition!" Ye Zishu thought for a while and said solemnly.
