Technology Bigshot

Thomas and Colin stayed at the headquarters of Matrix Technology for five days. After meeting with Ren Hong, after some discussion, the two sides verbally confirmed the cooperation. These days, the well-prepared Thomas led a team of lawyers to negotiate with Matrix Technology, and the cooperation officially came into effect. The nearly one-week trip of Universal CEO in China came to an end, and he returned with a cash cow. U.S.

For Ren Hong, this kind of cooperation is just a small business that is painless, and he will not do it himself if he does not have a big business worth more than tens of billions of dollars. This level of volume is the real focus of Ren Hong's strategic cooperation with Alphabet.

However, these are only relatively speaking. This contract is the top priority for Universal Pictures. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a huge project and the next top priority. The new "Dinosaur" For the trilogy, it is necessary to pay a sky-high price of 900 million U.S. dollars for the ip film and television agency production authorization paid to Matrix Technology. In addition to the production costs of the trilogy, in fact, Universal Pictures’ funds are not very rich, and the company’s cash flow is only 1.4 billion. USD or so.

You know, as one of the six major Hollywood film companies, the company's funds have to be allocated to other projects. However, although Universal's mix in Hollywood these years has been average, it is not as good as Walt Disney, but it is still better than Sony Pictures. of. In addition, the authorization fee of US$900 million is also paid in batches, so the funds are not too tight. After all, the parent company of Universal is also the American telecommunications giant Contaste. Passionate novels on the 19th floor

Although Matrix Technology did not put too much pressure on its partners, Thomas did not hesitate to win the trilogy. This is a large project with an investment of nearly more than 2 billion US dollars. Bankruptcy, but it is almost a certainty that it will be hit hard, and the parent company will have to insert its ass. Examples of a film company being dragged down by a big-budget movie abound in Hollywood.

Moreover, Thomas does not intend to share this cake. He thinks that the most powerful partner of Matrix Technology is enough. At least the first Universal must be fully invested and produced by the company, and no other investment funds will be introduced. Everyone knows that this is a big deal that is sure to make money.

Thomas returned to the company headquarters and immediately held a company high-level meeting to establish the project.

A week later, Universal Pictures held a press conference to officially announce the company's major investment this year.

"...Half a month ago, I personally went to Xlous Company to have a detailed discussion with its founder, Mr Ren, and won a big project from Xlous Company." At the press conference, Universal Pictures CEO Thomas and the head of the project department Qi Qi attended the press conference, and Director Colin was among them.

Dozens of reporters at the scene, especially the reporters from the Hollywood entertainment media newspaper, were very curious when they saw Colin.

"Xlous company? Could it be..." A reporter seemed to have guessed that the only reason why Universal Pictures can partner with Matrix Technology is the IP of "Dinosaur".

Everyone was soon confirmed, Thomas looked at everyone, and said: "The company officially announced that the new "Dinosaur" trilogy will be officially approved from now on, authorized by Xlous Company, produced and distributed by Universal Pictures, Colin Taylor Mr. Worrow is in charge of the director of the trilogy. The title of the new film is officially established, that is, "Jurassic World 7". The initial investment budget of the film is 17.3 billion US dollars, and the initial announcement budget is 2.1 billion US dollars. The summer file will be released simultaneously around the world on Friday, March 28."

As soon as the news came out, the reporters at the scene looked sideways. Thomas at the press conference looked high-spirited. No wonder he wanted to announce this big project himself. Thinking back to 2015, when "Fast and Furious 7", "Fifty Shades of Grey", "Minions" and other big movies produced by its subsidiaries were all over the world. In comparison, the performance of Universal in the past two years It's not very ideal. It's the norm in recent years that it's not enough to compare with the top, and it's more than the bottom.

Universal has produced a series of movies in the past ten years, but no more than five have sold globally, of which "Jurassic World" occupies three. Since the IP of "Dinosaur" was transferred to Matrix Technology, it is second only to " After the ninth part of the "Fast and Furious" series of the Jurassic World series was filmed, this series is about to come to an end.

Universal Pictures does not have any masterpieces that can stand alone. Compared with Walt Disney's "Star Wars" series and "Marvel" universe series, Time Warner has the "Harry Potter" series and DC series. Fox has the "Avatar" series, and Paramount has the "Transformers" series. These peers have money-absorbing cash cows. Universal Pictures originally had a "prehistoric behemoth", but it was sold to Matrix Technology. It is reasonable to be dumped by its peers over the years. After all, there was only one fantasy in 2015.

Now, with the re-authorization of the new trilogy of "Dinosaurs" from Matrix Technology, it is undoubtedly a booster to stabilize the morale of the army. Global executives are extremely optimistic about the prospects of this project. In 2027, the "Virtual World" online personal screening room It will be even bigger. The real version of Dinosaur Park is about to open. The emotional bonus of Dinosaur IP is almost a combination of the right time, place and people. As long as there are no moths, it will be difficult to sell it well.

After the press conference, as the director of "Jurassic World 7", Colin Trevor announced more movie details at the press conference.

"The movie plot of "Jurassic World 7" is very good. This is a brand new series different from the past, a brand new chapter, and a new beginning." Thomas said with an excited look when facing the reporter.

He suddenly smiled mysteriously and said: "Actually, you will never guess it, because it is so good. I can tell you that Mr. Ren, the founder of xlous company, gave me great and helpful advice on the plot of the movie. We Even overthrew the old script and re-wrote the script for this."

"In the new "Dinosaur" trilogy, the birth of dinosaurs is no longer an international genetic company, but a more realistic Xlous company. The place where the story takes place is not fictional. Yes, it is the reality on Diaomen Island in the future This is the Dinosaur Park, where the story is happening."

At the reception, a group of reporters suddenly showed strange eyes when they heard this.

The special reporter of "Hollywood Reporter" raised his hand and said: "Mr. Colin, can I think that "Jurassic World 7" is a movie purely for the exclusive promotion of xlous company? Diaomen Island Reality Dinosaur Park, xlous The assets of the company, the Xlous company replacing the International Genetics company in the plot, this movie seems to me almost an advertising movie for the Xlous company."
