After coming to Magic City for so long, this is the first time Lin Ze has come to the Magic City branch in parallel time and space.
It's a bit unprofessional...
But there is no way!
Who let the cheongsam and Guangxiu Liuxian skirt make him linger a little bit?
The Parallel Time Magic City branch is on Lingling Road, District XH, opposite the building is the Magic Shadow Group.
In the company conference room, Lin Ze looked at Chen Dong, the general manager of the branch, "Let's talk."
Chen Dong nodded and said: "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone had a box office of 140 million in its first week of release, and the total box office is expected to be around 300 million."
"In addition, there are several film projects that came to us. Some of them were interested in the company's funds, some were interested in the company's distribution capabilities and connections in the lighthouse country, and there was also an animation company that came to us because of the company's technology." p>
Lin Ze became interested in the animation company mentioned by Chen Dong, "What's the name of that animation company?"
Chen Dong lowered his head and flipped through the document and said, "It's called Horgos Caitiaowu Pictures Co., Ltd."
Now Lin Ze was completely interested. Isn't this the company that produced Nezha: The Devil Boy?
In 2019, I made a box office of 5 billion in one fell swoop. I never expected that it would come to my doorstep.
In fact, the return of the Great Sage produced by this company has gained some fame, but it was Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World that really made it famous.
Including Yang Jian and Jiang Ziya later, although their results were very good, they did not reach the peak of Nezha.
And as far as Lin Ze knows, Nezha’s investment is about 15 million US dollars, which is about 100 million yuan.
Compared with the income it brings, if calculated based on the lowest 34% of the producer, it should be around 1.7 billion yuan, and based on the current exchange rate, it should be around 250 million US dollars.
The rate of return reached a terrifying 1600%!
"But they are quite well informed!" Lin Ze said with a smile.
Lin Ze estimated that they came to him because of his previous acquisition of a rhythm special effects studio.
This person has participated in the animation production and special effects of many movies such as Life of Pi, The Hunger Games, X-Men, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, etc.
When Lin Ze founded Parallel Time and Space, he accidentally got the news that it was about to go bankrupt, and in one fell swoop he acquired it as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parallel Time and Space.
The special effects in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone were done by them.
However, this news obviously did not report that the scandal between Lin Ze and the Hollywood female star was very popular, so not many people knew about it, let alone in China.
Chen Dong nodded with a smile on his face. He still remembered that he still didn't understand the reason why Lin Ze acquired Rhythm Studio. It was only after Lin Ze sent him to Shanghai that he understood the reason behind Lin Ze's actions.
China is an untapped blue ocean market. Although the level of special effects is not very high, there are so many of them!
"What is their request?" Lin Ze continued to ask with interest. Since they took the initiative to send it to his door, he had to participate, otherwise wouldn't he miss such a good fate?
Chen Donghui reported: "What they mean is to hand over some of the special effects to us, and they hope to send employees to the Rhythm Studio to communicate."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "It seems that Caitiaowu is really determined to delve into the field of animated films."
"Then you go talk to them and see if you can take the form of technical shares, and even use funds to win as many shares as possible if necessary."
"I also told them that if cooperation can be reached, both parties can conduct technical exchanges every year in the future."
Chen Dong nodded and recorded: "Okay, BOSS, I think there is a high probability that this can be done."
"Even Disney can't guarantee that every movie will be a success. They must be eager to have another company take the risk. Besides, we still have the technology they need most."
Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction to Chen Dong. The reason why Chen Dong valued him so much was not only because he was more suitable here, but also his vision and execution ability were also very important.
Lin Ze said with certainty: "If the movie they produced this time can be a big success, it will also make Parallel Time famous in the country."
Right now, Rhythm Studio is still in a loss-making stage, which means that Lin Ze’s capital is relatively strong, and an ordinary company would no longer be able to sustain it.
Chen Dong nodded in agreement. Although he was not 100% sure that this animation movie would be successful, he believed that Lin Ze would be successful.
"What about other film projects? What others are there?" Lin Ze continued to ask.
Chen Dong lowered his head and looked at the document report and reported: "There is also Jinling Thirteen Hairpins directed by Zhang Guoshi, who values our distribution capabilities in the Lighthouse Country, and the richest man in Xihong City came to us because of financial problems."
Hearing Chen Dong talk about funding issues, Lin Ze immediately thought of two movies where the director sold his house to raise funds.
That’s right!
It’s Wu Jing’s Wolf Warrior 2 and Guo Fan’s The Wandering Earth series.
Lin Ze asked curiously: "Are there any Wolf Warriors and Wandering Earth in it?"
Chen Dong searched carefully and shook his head and said: "No."
Maybe it’s because the project hasn’t been established yet or because we don’t know about parallel time and space?
With this speculation in his mind, Lin Ze continued: "Then you should learn about these two movies and try to get a share of the movies as much as possible."
"Don't worry about funds, I will give you the greatest authority."
"Okay." Chen Dong nodded immediately. Since Lin Ze values these two movies so much, he must do it.
However, due to the rhythmic special effects studio owned by Parallel Time and Space, this gave Chen Dong a lot of confidence.
After all, you can’t participate in some movies just because you have money, especially those sequels of hit movies that are destined to make money.
There are so many rich people, why should you be asked to get a share of the pie for no reason?
"What about the Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling and the richest man in Xihong City?" Chen Dong continued to ask.
Lin Ze thought for a moment and said: "The richest man in tomatoes can invest, take as much share as he can, and try to reach a certain cooperative relationship with the company behind them."
"We can also participate in their future film projects."
Mahua’s later movies such as Walking Alone on the Moon, Warm Hug, and Shy Iron Fist all did well at the box office.
"As for the Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling, please participate if you can. If their conditions are not excessive, then agree to them."
Lin Ze had some guesses about their purpose of coming, and it was just about Oscar.
I’m wondering if I can use the influence of Parallel Time and Space in the Lighthouse Country to make this movie more likely to win awards.
Lin Ze can only say that he can help within a limited scope. As for the rest, he must either spend real money or get it right.
"Okay, BOSS, I understand." Chen Dong nodded and said.
