From an aesthetic point of view, Kristen Stewart's status among American movie fans is the same as Liu Tianxian's status among domestic movie fans. She has impeccable looks and terrible acting skills.

Zhou Buqi felt it, and that was it!

Very cold and not very cooperative.

I didn't know, so I thought someone owed her a lot of money. This made Zhou Buqi lose all interest. He originally wanted to write a check to her the next day, so there was no need to discuss it.

Service attitude is too bad.

After staying in the United States for seven or eight days, Zhou Buqi was ready to return to China.

Xu Baihui said sarcastically: "It seems that I had a great time last night. The real purpose of coming to Hollywood was achieved."

Zhou Buqi glared at her and said: "Stop talking nonsense, I have to go back to deal with national affairs. Microsoft is going to take serious action this time. If the opportunity is delayed, the country will suffer huge economic losses."

Xu Baihui pouted, "What about Hollywood?"

Zhou Buqi said: "We've almost talked about it, you can just stay and finish it off. I've got "The Agent Next Door" for you, aren't you satisfied?"

“What about Marvel?”

"The investment in the 13-movie platter has been confirmed, and there is no way they can go back on their word. Just go and sign the contract. You are the boss of Jieyu Media."

“What about financing?”

"Let people from Goldman Sachs run it, and you need to audit the net assets and do due diligence. The whole process will be relatively long. I will just pay and leave the negotiation process to you. It's just a comic company, and it's not worthy of my personal involvement."

As he spoke, Zhou Buqi was quite arrogant.

Right now, he really doesn't pay much attention to Hollywood, and Silicon Valley is his main target.

Xu Baihui rolled her eyes with a mocking look on her face, "How can I destroy you!"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Anyway, you can just make up your own mind. Well... let me set a standard for you. For 25% of Marvel's shares, the capital should not exceed the valuation of US$500 million or US$2 billion.

I think it’s much worse.”

"Oh," Xu Baihui nodded. She has a daring character. "If you mess up, don't blame me."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "It's okay. If you succeed, it's yours. If you lose money, it's mine."

The corner of Xu Baihui's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a bit of a smile, "Boss Zhou, when will you return to China?"

"Let's go tonight. We'll be there tomorrow morning."

"That's just right. You can accompany me to meet someone this afternoon."

"Who?"

"There is a director in charge of the film business of CBS Television Network, who is the person in charge of CBS' Hollywood business. Her name is Jia Le, she has been in the United States for seven or eight years, and her current name is Jessica. She graduated from China Central Television. I want to invite

She comes here to take charge of the Hollywood side of Jieyu Media."

Zhou Buqi agreed, "Well, it should be. I heard that CBS's corporate culture is not very good and sexual harassment in the workplace is very serious. She should be willing to change jobs."

Xu Baihui curled her lips and said: "In this business, which company is not serious? When you are in China, I will help you find it less?"

Zhou Buqi coughed lightly and said with a serious expression: "Don't be too picky when hiring people. Men are better at this job. I can help you in China, but we are beyond our reach here in the United States."

Xu Baihui nodded lightly, "I know, and I will continue to look for people. Anyway, I just want a Chinese with domestic connections. When Sony acquired Colombia, it found a few Americans to take charge, and it was a disaster for them. In the early stage, it was still

We have to rely on our own people and wait until the business is stable in a few years before looking for Americans."

"As long as you know the number."

"In addition to platter investment, I also want to control the movie myself."

"Hollywood movie?"

"Um!"

Xu Baihui has beautiful eyes and conquered Hollywood. How exciting is it? It doesn’t have to be great, as long as you do it well and make a few similar movies, it will become popular.

What Huayi Duo couldn't do, Jieyu Media has done. Who is the best in the industry?

Zhou Buqi felt that this idea was feasible, thought for a moment, and said from a high position: "We are outsiders after all, and it is not easy to start a business in Hollywood. It took Sony ten years and two to three billion US dollars to achieve this goal."

We have put Columbia Pictures into normal operation. In the short term, we will still focus on platter investment. This is the employer, and the producers are asking us, and no one dares to offend."

Xu Baihui raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you saying that in addition to the platter investment project you took over this time and the superhero blockbuster cooperation with Marvel, you will continue to do platter investment in the future?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, let's do it! This is a quick way to gain a foothold in Hollywood. With the outbreak of the financial crisis, the platter investment model that has been popular for many years is probably going to stop. From now on, Legend Pictures and Relativity Media

The cities will launch platter business one after another and begin to transform into production companies. Jieyu Media is likely to be the only platter investment partner. The whole of Hollywood must hold you in the palm of their hands. When the time is ripe, then make your own movies

.”

Xu Baihui was a little worried, "What should I do if I lose money?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "If you lose, you lose. What are you afraid of? Just try boldly and do it!"

Taking advantage of this wave of bargain-hunting orders during the financial crisis, it’s hard to lose money!

Unless the film company dares to play tricks and make a fuss about its books.

For example, Time Warner Group owns Warner Pictures, as well as many TV networks, magazines and other media platforms that can advertise. There can be related transactions here.

The most typical example is "Harry Potter 5", which was released last year. It was a hit for 4 consecutive films, and it is impossible to change the main actors in the 5th film. The actors took advantage of Warner and offered sky-high prices one after another, trying to rip off the film.

Warner one stroke.

Warner had no choice but to bite the bullet and admit it, signed a humiliating contract, gave a large profit share, and happily finished the movie.

If the contract is completed honestly, Warner will not earn as much as the actors. There will be internal operations, production fees, consulting fees, publicity fees, distribution fees, and the repayment of Warner's loan from Time Warner.

High interest rates...

Lin Lin finally calculated that this movie, which grossed US$1 billion at the global box office, had a loss of US$167 million.

If there is a loss, there will be no profit, and there is no need to distribute profits to the actors.

With this lesson learned, the actors learned the lesson and made major concessions in subsequent contracts, allowing the glory of this series to continue.

Jieyu Media does not need to worry about this.

This is the employer. Not only can we not play tricks, but we must also serve the sponsor father properly.

…

Zhou Buqi returned to China on a private plane.

A little rushed.

But I am really satisfied with this trip to the United States.

First of all, the operations in the financial market are really perfect. Although there are not dozens or hundreds of times of returns, the current returns are already eye-catching enough.

Ziweixing earned more than 5 billion U.S. dollars, and Zhou Buqi's personal overseas account jumped from 330 million U.S. dollars in cash to 3.86 billion U.S. dollars.

The next step is to set up a family fund, put the 3.86 billion US dollars into it, and invest in various diversifications to maintain the appreciation of wealth. Invest 250 million US dollars in Facebook, lend 500 million US dollars to Jieyu Media for investment, and then set aside

Offered $500 million to acquire 25% of Marvel's shares.

Using half of the remaining funds is enough to buy a wealthy team in the UK.

Very satisfied!

This wave of bargain hunting for platter copyrights in Hollywood is even more amazing.

I spent US$150 million to buy the rights to 16 movies owned by Twentieth Century Fox. Although there are only two well-known movies, "Avatar" and "Raymond", this is enough! The investment ratio is as high as 33.8%!

I spent 200 million US dollars to buy two "Fast and Furious" 4 and 5, three "Twilight" 2, 3 and 4, "Despicable Me", "Suicide Squad", "Public Enemies" and "Neighbors"

The investment rights of a total of 9 films in "Agent".

These nine movies are actually three cases.

They belong to Universal Pictures, Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate Pictures respectively.

The proportion of each case is different.

Universal's films are the "Fast and Furious" series, "Despicable Me" and "Public Enemies", accounting for 30%; Summit Entertainment's "Twilight" series, because it is a small company, so the share is

It is extremely high, reaching 43%; Lionsgate has two films, "The Expendables" and "The Agent Next Door," and the platter ratio is 37%, which is also relatively high.

Then, there is the cooperation with Marvel.

US$1 billion has bought the investment rights for Marvel's next 13 comic blockbusters, with the investment share expected to be between 35% and 45%.

Winning these three major orders will provide the basic conditions for Jieyu Media's international operations.

Overall, it was a very satisfactory trip to the United States.

On the plane, Feng Muer put down her chair early to rest.

Sun Wanran was lying in Zhou Buqi's arms, watching the movie "La Vie en Rose" together.

"By the way, you said that Hollywood will kneel down to Silicon Valley. Is it true or false?"

"Of course it is."

“Netflix?”

"Um."
