Chapter 637 Star Wars
Visiting the crew of "Super Body" during the filming.
Suri unexpectedly learned that George Lucas, the great director who owns the copyright to "Star Wars", invited him to have a meal at his restaurant tonight and wanted to talk about the acquisition of Lucasfilm.
According to the information he got.
George Lucas seems to want to find the most suitable buyer, not only comparing which company pays more money, but also who has a strategic development plan that can continue to promote the "Star Wars" series.
After Jiang Jiaya reported, she said with emotion:
"It seems that director George Lucas has really decided to retire. This is tantamount to looking for a successor, so as not to live up to his most successful efforts in decades. In the blink of an eye, Lucasfilm has already celebrated its 40th anniversary. It’s such a scary time, I still remember the shock when I first watched Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones.”
Su Rui glanced at her sideways and said speechlessly:
"I remember this show was released around 2002, and it didn't seem that long ago when Natalie Portman starred. You didn't even mention "Star Wars: Episode II: The Empire Strikes Back," which is the main story of the entire series. The second one, I think it is the most classic, you must be a fake Star Wars fan."
".Men like this kind of movies. I preferred watching cartoons at that time."
Jiang Jiaya just finished speaking.
Suri continued:
"Not just at that time, now when you go out on a plane, you also like to kill time with "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "The Simpsons"."
"The great thing about the Star Wars series is that every box office entry ranks in the top 100 in global film history, and the games, peripheral products, TV series, etc. that are derived from it are also very profitable."
"But since director George Lucas decided to sell it and retire, he should simply let it go. I don't want to use the Star Wars copyright to shoot other dramas in the future and have to continue to be pointed out by him, if he says that I will release it." If the drama is not authentic enough, then I will be sitting on a candle."
Jiang Jiaya added:
"However, it is undeniable that Director Lucas has been tied to "Star Wars". This series is the glory of his life. Some people are more nostalgic, and they are different from a cold-blooded animal like you."
Suri was noncommittal about this, shaking his head and saying:
"If I offer 2 billion US dollars and come up with a particularly powerful Star Wars copyright development plan, and Time Warner offers 3 billion US dollars, but the development plan is rubbish, who do you think Director Lucas will choose?"
"To put it bluntly, you still have to look at money after all. Only when the price is close, will you choose the most suitable buyer."
"Since it's a business, it should look like a business. I don't want to end up being Director Lucas's foil. Even if he creates new brilliance, others will only praise him for how great he is."
A sale is a sale, and it is best for everyone to let go decisively.
Jiang Jiaya couldn't argue with Suri, so she only asked: "So, do you want to go to the dinner arranged by Director Lucas?"
"Go, why not go? Once we get the rights to "Star Wars", it will be very beneficial to Netflix Entertainment and Daju Movies. In addition, my game studio will also be able to develop a few small games."
————————————
As one of the few super rich people in Hollywood.
The great director George Lucas has many side jobs and is relatively low-key on weekdays. His restaurant is located near the Avenue of Stars, with the theme of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The dining atmosphere is full of Western elements, and there are even a few items placed in the corner. Replicated crystal skull.
The Crystal Skull, which is full of mystery in Western history, has been proven to be the product of forgery in the 19th century. The "Raiders of the Lost Ark" released a few years ago also borrowed elements from it.
Compared to the sparkling crystal skull under the light, Suri was more interested in the elk specimen in the corner. The antlers were almost 2 meters long and looked like they were alive at first glance.
Although George Lucas is 67 years old, he has a 41-year-old fiancée who came with him during the meal.
This age gap seems reasonable, but Suri finds it a bit interesting when she thinks that when director Lucas was 26 years old, his fiancée had just been born.
Drawing inferences from one example, Su Rui thought that her "right one" might not be born yet. If given the chance, she could spend another twenty years waiting for her to grow up.
At this moment.
After you sit down, say hello warmly and find a topic to talk about something else first.
After a while, Su Rui asked curiously:
"I thought that when talking about acquisitions, you would contact Netflix CEO Terentz. I usually don't get involved in this."
The gray-haired director George Lucas laughed and said:
"With your voice in Netflix Entertainment, can he really make the decision? I heard that you are more interested in the copyright of "Star Wars" and want to launch some derivative web series, so Netflix Entertainment took the initiative to contact you. I think it’s better to ignore them and communicate with you face to face. I hope you like the food in my restaurant.”
This is true.
If Suri doesn't nod, CEO Terenz and other shareholders will have no confidence in taking over Lucasfilm.
The market valuation of Lucasfilm has reached about 3.5 billion US dollars, and the final transaction price will probably exceed this figure. If the subsequent development work cannot be successfully completed, most of the initial investment will be in vain.
Suri picked up the menu and while choosing the dishes she wanted to eat, she told:
"Before I decided to acquire it, I had already conceived several spin-off series worth developing. I have to say that the new version of "Star Trek" makes me feel very cool. "Star Wars" should also expand some branch plots. Unfortunately, even if I If you live to be 120 years old, there is a high probability that you will not be able to witness a new interstellar era with your own eyes. You can only find comfort in fantasy movies and experience the excitement of traveling through the universe."
George Lucas sighed and laughed:
"If even young people like you can't see it, then I'm even more hopeless. I've also watched the new version of "Star Trek". It's really fascinating. Nowadays, computer special effects are so advanced that I seem to be almost unable to follow them." Compared to the new computer-drawn Enterprise spaceships, the spaceships in my old movies look like junk on the street that no one wants."
Su Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, and quickly replied:
"Don't say that. There are still many fans who are obsessed with the Star Wars series. We will never be able to make movies that transcend the technological limitations of the times. Just like a few decades later, VR technology may have become popular, and people will think that I "Breaking Bad" and "The Walking Dead" are very old."
Not wanting to become an old antique who only recalls the glory of the past, Director Lucas changed the topic and asked:
"You don't need to tell me the specific ideas, otherwise I can't help but change my mind about selling again. Are you confident in developing the "Star Wars" copyright?"
"Of course, my money didn't just fall from the sky. If I wasn't sure, who would risk billions of dollars?"
