Director’s Legend

When night came, Shao Shuaijun was in the study room of the villa, writing and painting. The "Dancing Out of My Life" series can be used as a signboard and continue to be done. Almost every one of them is over 100 million. "Twilight" has several more titles that can be explored. Twilight, Breaking Dawn, and Breaking Dawn are all planned sequels. It is not a problem to create 2 billion box office for Ding Feng.

The "Hunger Games" series is obviously also a box office cash machine, and it is not difficult to win 2 billion box office. The "Detective Sherlock Holmes" series, if managed well, can also form a very long series. Once "Planet of the Apes" has bought the copyright, it is definitely a series that can be continuously explored.

The "Hangover" series is determined to continue, and strive to have such an R-rated comedy every year. After all, the cost is too low. No matter how much you earn or less, you are earning. And "Teddy Bear" can also be made into a series, but any profitable movie can be made into a sequel.

Counting it down, there are also "Weakness: The Progress of the Game", "The Millionaire of the Slums", "The Fantasy Drift of the Youth Pie", "The Warm Corpse" and so on. Shao Shuaijun has already put all the movies he can find. Found it. It has laid a solid foundation for Summit Entertainment. As long as it does not operate indiscriminately, it will not be a problem to maintain a decade of glory.

"What are you writing?"

Li Xiuxiu didn't know when he entered the study and put a coat on Shao Shuaijun. The weather changed abruptly tonight, and there was a lot of snow outside. There was no snow at Christmas, but snow fell after Christmas, which lost a lot of the taste of Christmas in the United States.

For Shao Shuaijun, it doesn't matter if Christmas is not over, and it is not a traditional Chinese holiday.

"I'm thinking about movies. The company will increase its scale next year, invest more in film production, strive to occupy more box office market shares, and then increase the stock price. I think once we acquire Marvel Comics, There will definitely be some problems in the capital chain. A strong ability to attract gold is necessary to make the stock market strong. After this period of time, after the superhero returns to the team, Summit Entertainment will become a giant!" Shao Shuaijun said confidently.

Li Xiuxiu smiled slightly: "Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and Summit Entertainment will be listed tomorrow. Somehow, when Chasing Dream Jiahe went public and raised, I stayed up all night. Instead, I left all preparations to others, but I was normal. It’s weird to go to get off work."

Shao Shuaijun chuckled: "Well, it is inevitable that you will be uneasy the first time, afraid of pain and fear of the situation. After the first time, you will be familiar with you and there is nothing to be nervous about."

"What are you talking about, full of dirty thoughts."

"Who is nasty? What I'm talking about is the reaction to the listing. Isn't it just uneasy, afraid that the stock is worthless, distressed, and afraid of such a situation? When you have experience and prepare for another listing, there is nothing to fuss about. What I said is very serious, I really don’t know who likes to think about it."

"Okay you, who are you talking about, dare to arrange me." Li Xiuxiu immediately rushed over with her teeth and claws.

Shao Shuaijun reacted swiftly, twisting his body and stretching out his hands, he hugged Li Xiuxiu, who was leaping over, into his arms, and then kissed Li Xiuxiu's lips along the way, dissolving the killing offensive.

The two men and women kissed so passionately.

It took a long time to breathe and separate.

Li Xiuxiu stroked her hair, leaned on Shao Shuaijun's shoulder, and asked, "Are you not going to attend the press conference tomorrow?"

"No, it's all over to Mitchell. After all, this is in the United States. Mitchell will make Summit Entertainment look more like an American company than an American company acquired by a Chinese company. The Marvel Comics acquisition is not An easy thing, we must make sure that this incident does not arouse unnecessary national sentiment."

Traditionally, cross-border acquisitions have been a difficult problem, not just a commercial act, they just have to consider political factors and public sentiments. Marvel Comics is an American comic magnate, and American companies acquire Marvel Comics, nothing. But for a company with a Chinese background to acquire Marvel Comics, it must consider whether the majority of comics fans will accept it.

Shao Shuaijun is a Chinese. I think it is better to keep a low profile at this time. Let Mitchell take the lead in everything so that Americans think that this is an internal American transaction without much interference. When the tree is finished, come out again in a good mood.

"Walt Disney is very strong, we are not necessarily opponents." Li Xiuxiu was a little worried.

"Competing strength, we are not weak after listing. Don’t forget that we still have Dream Chasing Golden Harvest and Dream Chasing Entertainment as backing. Now Dream Chasing Entertainment Group has a total capital of more than US$10 billion, which is more than Walt Disney’s market value. Even stronger, once Summit Entertainment goes public, Dream Chasing Entertainment Group will be a giant group."

Shao Shuaijun said freely: "What we fight for acquisitions is just bidding. We offer high bids and good cooperation conditions. How should Marvel Comics choose the natural way. No one will have trouble with money. Moreover, Walt Disney is not necessarily willing to pay high prices. The superhero copyrights of Marvel Comics, the most famous ones, have all been sold. If you want to take it back, you need to invest more. Those who retain the copyright are all less famous heroes. For such a fancy, they will spend Do you work hard? I don't think so."

Not everyone knows where the future is going. Walt Disney is already looking ahead when judging the future of superheroes.

But it is only limited to knowing what superheroes will do. As for what they will do, even if you stand in front of Disney’s boss and tell him that Batman’s box office miracle is not the only one, more superheroes will set off more box office. He probably didn't believe it either.

So far, the top-selling superheroes are Superman, Batman, and Spiderman, and perhaps even include Iron Man.

All the company's bets are placed on superheroes who don't know how much they can earn. Only Summit Entertainment led by Shao Shuaijun has this courage.

"Where do you think our bottom line is?" Li Xiuxiu does not have the confidence of Shao Shuaijun.

"There is no limit. As long as it can be done, Marvel Comics will be acquired at all costs. Unless they don't want to sell, they must belong to us if they want to sell."

Li Xiuxiu frowned: "Now the company has unified opinions on the acquisition of Marvel Comics, but to be honest, everyone is confused and does not know how to develop. Superheroes can make money, but the money earned can make up for our expenses. ?"

"Anything is possible!" Shao Shuaijun laughed, "I already have a plan. Once we acquire Marvel Comics, we will start making a movie with a large collection of superheroes. The name is "The Avengers", Iron Man, and the Hulk. , Arrow, Captain America, Thor will all appear in the movie. A single superhero is a movie, and together it is also a movie. The future will be brilliant."

...

On January 1, 2009, New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar, Summit Entertainment was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Shao Shuaijun did not pay attention to the specific stock market. He was drinking coffee with a 60-year-old man in a cafe in Hollywood. This man who is still a strong man at the age of sixty is a generation of martial arts superstar Sylvester Stallone. One of the three tough guys on the big screen in the 1980s.

Stallone can't help acting, as well as screenwriter and director. "Rocky", which he wrote and acted by himself, was a sensation. It not only conquered the audience, but also conquered the Oscars. This is his most brilliant film. Later, the "Rocky" sequel and the self-written, directed and self-acted "First Blood" series all created brilliant box office.

Regrettably, with the exception of one "Rocky" which was recognized by the Oscars, other films starring Stallone could only be recognized by the Golden Plum Award, and even the worst actor of the 20th century was awarded by Golden Plum.

"Hello Mr. Stallone, I grew up watching your movie, Rocky and Rambo, it's so cool." Shao Shuaijun first complimented Stallone.

Although Stallone is old, the hero is still there. Fortunately, the two are sitting face to face. If they are crowded together, Shao Shuaijun is at least one size smaller than Stallone. Stallone’s facial nerves have been damaged, so he always has that unchanging cold expression, and he speaks very directly: "Hello Director Shao, I am very happy to have coffee with you. I think there is nothing wrong with Director Shao asking me? "

"Of course, I recently reviewed the blockbuster action movies of the 1980s, and I feel that the current movies and action scenes are more like juggling, without any violent beauty, and I suddenly regretted. So I thought of an idea, why not put Hollywood All the action superstars have gathered to make a nostalgic action movie?"

"Oh, Director Shao has a new film plan? I heard that you are not shooting a literary film?"

Shao Shuaijun nodded and said: "I'm making a movie, I do have an idea for a movie, but I am not good at making this kind of tough guy action movie. So I found you Mr. Stallone. I hope you will come to star in you. And directed this movie."

"Is there a script?"

"No."

"No?"

Shao Shuaijun nodded: "The movie has only a general outline of the story. It is about a group of mercenaries who received a mission to go to a small island to overthrow the local armed forces. Then they fell into a crisis, and then all kinds of fighting. To be honest, The plot is not important, you can play it casually, mainly to stage a tough guy action scene. If you agree, everything from the script to the casting will be handed over to you, and Summit Entertainment will invest."

"This..." Stallone moved slightly and hesitated.

"Mr. Stallone can rest assured that in terms of film remuneration, it is absolutely in line with your worth, and all the movies are in your charge. We only make investments. You have full power to decide the direction of the movie."

Stallone thought about it for a while, and agreed: "Okay, I accept it!" Since the 1990s, his acting career has gone downhill. It is a delight for him to accept an offer for a movie. , No need to think about it.

"That's OK, oh yes, I can provide the name of a movie for reference only. I call it "The Expendables"."

"The Expendables", an American action film written, directed and acted by Sylvester Stallone in the future, is full of vulgar shots and outrageous logic. It reproduces the feelings of men in the past and pays homage to the action movies of the 1980s and 1990s. The movie brought together a large number of action superstars such as Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, and Li Lianjie, and performed with iron and blood.

In my memory, "The Expendables" is also a series. Before Shao Shuaijun's rebirth, he had already released two of them, both of which achieved a global box office of two or three billion US dollars, which was very profitable. Since Summit Entertainment wants to expand, "The Expendables" must be included under its banner.

Explain clearly to Stallone and determine when to sign the contract and when to prepare for the auction.

Today's task is completed.

With the wrench pointing to the finale, Shao Shuaijun murmured to himself: “The Expendables is a masterpiece of Lionsgate’s future. The Hunger Games is also a masterpiece of Lionsgate’s future. Both Twilight and The Warm Corpse The production of Lionsgate Pictures in the future. How do I feel that I have an enmity with Lionsgate Pictures, I have snatched the future of Lionsgate Pictures over. Alas, I’m so embarrassed... When will I wait? , And then buy Lions Gate Pictures, it’s all a family, so there’s no need to care about it.”

In this way, he was busy with trivial matters, and after a delay of more than a week, Shao Shuaijun finally returned to the crew of "Heartbeat".

Before making movies, Shao Shuaijun wanted to devote himself to it.

Now I have to divide my time, and can only squeeze out a short period of it for filming.

Sometimes Shao Shuaijun himself feels whether he has embarked on a road that is completely opposite to his dream. In my dream, I wanted to be a pure person for the movie, but now, I don't have a pure self at all. Reality is always driving people, like inertia, running forward.

When I ran, I lost my way.

When I think about it, turn around.

Huo Ran realized that he had already run to another runway.

"Fortunately, I finally finished everything I had to do, and I won't care about the company's affairs in the future!" Shao Shuaijun said a little embarrassingly.

The rehearsal of the crew was almost complete. When Shao Shuaijun came, he immediately entered the shooting state...

At this time, Peak Entertainment's stock had just circulated, and it was immediately snatched up. The daily limit has been reached in just half a day. With the Twilight series of global money grabs and strong registered users of twitter, Summit Entertainment’s stocks are naturally high-quality stocks, and it is normal to be snatched.

And this weekend, the box office of the third week of "The Hangover" also came out, with US$26.78 million, and once again won the North American weekend box office championship. This is already three consecutive championships, with a total box office of US$164.2 million, achieving an incredible small R-level cost. Comedy Miracle Box Office.

As if the wind is helping the fire, Peak Entertainment's stock will continue to rise in the next week. It has risen from the original $1 per share to $8 per share, and only then began to stabilize. In other words, the capital of Summit Entertainment has increased by a full eight times. Originally it was 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, but now it has a market value of 12 billion U.S. dollars.

With a market value of nearly RMB 90 billion, it has surpassed Dream Dream Jiahe to become the largest subsidiary of Dream Dream Entertainment Group. With money, the acquisition of Marvel Comics immediately launched a fierce offensive.

Superhero, Shao Shuaijun is bound to win! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
