It is said that the fat director Peter Jackson planned to trick Yi Feiyang in order to get more investment. Because he found that Yi Feiyang seemed to be very rich, especially this time the box office of "Iron Man" exceeded 1.5 billion. It was simply
Local tycoon.
"You know, Weta Digital is currently in a very delicate development period. Because of the success of "The Lord of the Rings", the company's business has made great strides forward. However, due to improper negotiations with your Fantasy Entertainment, "The Lord of the Rings" has
The sequel to "The Ring" has been extended indefinitely, which is very bad news for you and me. Therefore, if you are willing to invest in Weta Digital instead of acquiring it, I can assure you that we will continue to take over "The Ring".
I want to work on the sequel to "The Ring" and strongly support your company's development in film special effects. From now on, it is definitely a win-win situation. Please believe me, dear Yi, I am a good friend."
Yi Feiyang admired the fat man in front of him so much. People said fat people were either naive or stupid, but this man in front of him was cunning and cunning!
You can see how well they have spoken. They have not only considered the actual business of your company, but also made safe and reasonable arrangements for your future plans. Even nannies are not so attentive.
Thinking of this, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but laugh, and his laughter was so hearty that even Peter Jackson behind the table was stunned...
"Dear Yi, are you okay..." Peter Jackson hesitated for a moment. He a little doubted whether the extremely mature young man in front of him was crazy, or maybe he forgot to take medicine before going out.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Yi Feiyang suppressed a smile. As the chairman of the board of directors of a large company, he was in a weak position as if he was asking for help. For Yi Feiyang, who always likes to be strong, it is simply unbelievable.
But this is exactly the effect he wants. He knows very well that Peter Jackson is difficult to convince with just a few words. So everything today is just a show. A show that can completely defeat Fatty Peter.
That's all.
"Since you want to invest, then, no problem..." Yi Feiyang deliberately pretended to think for a moment, and then stood up suddenly. Seeing that Peter Jackson was shocked, he leaned forward with his hands on the table.
Let space and distance create stress: “If I invest $300 million, how much control should I get?”
Peter Jackson was indeed taken aback by Yi Feiyang, especially when Yi Feiyang half-bent over and stared at him while saying this. It really felt as if Yi Feiyang was controlling him. Resist the fluctuating emotions, Peter Jackson
He glanced at Yi Feiyang in surprise, but he didn't know how to stand up and take the initiative to counteract the pressure deliberately created by Yi Feiyang: "I'm sorry, I just said it, if you plan to take the absolute controlling stake, I am unlikely to sell it.
!”
"What if it's 500 million U.S. dollars?" Now the distance between Yi Feiyang and Peter Jackson has gradually narrowed. Yi Feiyang's aggressive eyes and attitude formed a huge contrast with the comparison just now: "What if it's 800 million U.S. dollars?"
?”
Hearing such a huge amount, Peter Jackson's heart couldn't help but beat rapidly. The equity in his hands was actually worth up to 700 million US dollars, and Yi Feiyang already controlled 42% and paid this price.
That would be really hard to refuse.
Yi Feiyang is now like a devil, whispering softly in a sleepy tone: "800 million U.S. dollars, with 800 million U.S. dollars, you can reshape a dream. Or more dreams. Give up everything in front of you for your dream.
, what’s the difficulty?”
Peter Jackson was completely caught in a fierce psychological struggle. He now seemed to have two completely opposite angels and devils fighting each other in his heart. Yi Feiyang's extremely seductive tone made him hopelessly trapped.
In the imagination of realizing his dream. Yes, if he had 800 million, he could indeed do a lot of things.
As one of the well-known directors in the United States, Peter Jackson has always been ranked lower than Cameron and Spielberg. The reason is not that his talent is not as good as theirs, but because he has a big backer behind him. Specifically, he has a big backer.
Money, allow them to use it to squander it and film movies.
For example, Spielberg, as an American Jew, has always been funded by American Jewish plutocrats. Especially when he was filming "Schindler's List", there were countless people who funded him. As we all know
, Jews are very rich, and rich Jews like to help those talented artists, and film, as the seventh art, is undoubtedly a category that is funded. What’s more, Spielberg, who is also of Jewish origin, is even more favored by these Jewish plutocrats.
their favor.
Besides, the great director Cameron, although he is not a Jew, is very much appreciated by the mainstream American plutocrats. The reason is because Cameron has the same advantages as these people, that is, he is ambitious enough and dares to take risks! People
Everyone knows that Hollywood is a paradise for adventurers, and Cameron is undoubtedly the best among adventurers. He dares to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot an unprecedented blockbuster. For those who fund him, this is actually worse than a prostitute~
Women and drugs are even more exciting.
Looking at these two super directors, Cameron originally spent more than 200 million US dollars to shoot "Titanic", and Spielberg now spent 160 million US dollars to shoot "Artificial Intelligence". Compared with
Under the circumstances, Peter Jackson only spent more than 80 million to shoot "The Lord of the Rings", but the publicity claimed that it was an investment of hundreds of millions. To put it bluntly, his own filming funds were only half and one-third of others!
God, I, Peter Jackson, am also a great director. Why can’t I be awesome once and make a real blockbuster worth hundreds of millions?!
800 million! If I really have 800 million in my hand!
Grandma's bear, I don't have to look at anyone else's face, I dominate everything!
Then didn’t Cameron say that he was the king of the world? Then let’s see who is the real king of the world!!! Hahaha!!!
Unknowingly, Peter Jackson was sweating profusely, and suddenly he finally understood that this was Yi Feiyang's trap. He couldn't help but look frightened, and cast his eyes on Yi Feiyang, who was standing by the window with his hands behind his back.
He shouted loudly: "God, you are the devil! I will never sell the company to you!"
Yi Feiyang is observing the city of Wellington. The environment here is really good. Compared with the hustle and bustle of other cities, there is a rare tranquility here. But at this moment, what he is thinking about is not the quality of the environment, but what happens if it happens.
I really bought Weta Digital. So, do I want to move it out of Wellington?
Hearing Peter Jackson's shout, Yi Feiyang smiled disapprovingly, but this smile seemed a little weird. He did not turn around immediately, but put down his hands on his back to make himself look more like
Be calm rather than overwhelming.
With Peter Jackson panting behind him, Yi Feiyang thought about it and believed that Peter Jackson should be calm enough to think. Then he turned around naturally. He showed a peaceful smile, just like this
Under the circumstances, the gentler the smile, the more mysterious and terrifying it appears in Peter Jackson's eyes.
Yi Feiyang smiled slightly at him, and his white teeth turned into sharp swords in Peter Jackson's eyes. After smiling, Yi Feiyang stared at his opponent. There was no fierceness in his eyes, he was very calm.
Said: "Our agreement will remain valid for one week as long as you are willing!"
After saying that, Yi Feiyang drifted away. Peter Jackson came to the window and looked at Yi Feiyang's retreating figure, while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He felt that this Chinese Yi was really terrible, like a devil. A little bit uncomfortable
If you pay attention, you will be tempted to hell.
At this moment, Yi Feiyang, who was below, suddenly turned his head and smiled at Peter Jackson who was peeking. This smile made Peter Jackson's spine go cold. He didn't understand, but he was also very surprised.
Why did Feiyang pay such a sky-high price to acquire its own Weta Digital company? Is it just to successfully shoot the sequel to "The Lord of the Rings"?! If the answer is really like this, it would be ridiculous!
Just when he thought of 800 million, his heart couldn't help but beat loudly, and he couldn't help but think of Yi Feiyang's dreamlike words just now. Another cold sweat broke out, and he thought that if he didn't agree to this
When it comes to buying and selling, maybe this sentence can really haunt me for the rest of my life. But fortunately, Yi Feiyang is gone...
Unfortunately, Yi Feiyang only left Weta Digital, not Wellington. Within ten days, this nightmare will definitely visit Peter Jackson again.
Yi Feiyang is not very sure, but he is confident. As a successful entrepreneur, what can be accomplished without confidence?
On the way back to the hotel, the fat man Gao Jiabao made a long-distance call and asked him how the acquisition was going. Yi Feiyang said that there was no result, and that Peter was very stubborn. The fat man said on the phone that business should not be rushed, it should be like a stew.
Just like beef brisket, stew slowly. Also, be sure not to bleed profusely and be slaughtered.
Fatty's meaning was very clear to Yi Feiyang. He was afraid that Yi Feiyang couldn't help but spend a lot of money to acquire Weta Digital. In Fatty's view, every penny was hard-earned and he shouldn't spend it so lavishly.
After the conversation, Yi Feiyang hung up the phone and told the black bodyguard driving the car, "Drive slowly, I'll take a rest."
Lying on the car seat, Yi Feiyang rubbed his brow.
Now that Fantasy Entertainment's filming plan for the second half of the year has been fully launched, Director Li Yin is preparing to film "Brokeback Mountain". This drama is a script written by Yi Feiyang with Li Yin's suggestion, but Li Yin is a famous "Moji" director, and the filming
Although the speed is very fast, the preparation time is very long, which is mainly used in polishing the script, selecting scenes and actors. In this regard, Yi Feiyang does not interfere much. After all, this is his personal characteristic, otherwise it would not be possible to repeat it.
He has won many awards for his photography, and as the saying goes: slow work leads to careful work.
In terms of actors, Yi Feiyang recommended Gyllenhaal without hesitation. He was the leading actor in the movie "Brokeback Mountain" in his previous life, not to mention that after Yi Feiyang's training in the movie "Iron Man", Gyllenhaal
It can be said that his acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and he is fully capable of playing this role well.
Then let's talk about the cartoon "Kung Fu Panda" that Yi Feiyang has been preparing for. This time Yi Feiyang brought Fat Jack Black to New Zealand not just to see the scenery or to visit. From the beginning, Yi Feiyang appointed Fat Jack as the character.
The director of the play and the voice actor of the protagonist Abao.
Fat Jack has followed Yi Feiyang for so many years. Unlike his good friend Rabbit Bill, who devoted himself to adult movies, he has become a porn tycoon in underground movies. He has filmed a series of adult versions of "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Gladiator", etc.
He is popular and very profitable, and Fatty is not as famous and popular as directors such as James Wan and Tim Burton.
Fatty has always stayed by Yi Feiyang's side in obscurity, acting as his right-hand man, deputy director, assistant, and even recorder and secretary. He is willing to do any job and works hard without complaining.
Yi Feiyang saw this and took it to heart. He felt that he owed Fatty a lot. For this seemingly silly optimist, Yi Feiyang knew very well that Fatty was talented. He knew how to play rock and roll, and he also filmed and directed "Rock and Roll".
"Campus", knows how to script, wrote and starred in "Crazy Priest". It is precisely because of these tortuous experiences that in his previous life, he perfectly played the role of "director" in the blockbuster "King Kong".
Now, Yi Feiyang is ready to give Fat Jack a chance to direct a blockbuster. The investment in the animated film "Kung Fu Panda" is about 50 million, or even more. After all, it needs to be made into a 3D animation. But it takes a lot of time and money.
of.
When Jack heard the news, he was very excited. Yes, he almost fainted with excitement. You know, among his brothers, no one has ever been treated like this. What does this mean? It shows how much the boss treats him.
Trust! No, it should be extreme trust!
After accepting "Kung Fu Panda", Fat Jack began to study with Yi Feiyang how to shoot the movie and create animation manuscripts. For example, they designed dozens of images of the panda Po, and finally Yi Feiyang chose the one that was closest to his previous life.
Playful.
In addition, Yi Feiyang deeply knows that animation special effects, especially 3D animation special effects, are inseparable from a good special effects company. Although the fantasy special effects team has already filmed and produced "Speed Snail", "Despicable Me", and "
Classic cartoons such as "How to Train Your Dragon" helped Fantasy Entertainment create a new era of cartoons. However, in Yi Feiyang's view, one cannot rest on one's laurels or work behind closed doors. This time I brought Fatty here just to let him take a look at Weta Digital.
Learn the special effects techniques, and find out more precisely...
I have a headache!
Yi Feiyang closed his eyes on the seat.
Speaking of which, Yi Feiyang has plans to shoot the second part of "Iron Man", but he does not plan to direct this movie again. He is a person who likes challenges, or to put it bluntly, he likes the new and hates the old. He never likes to shoot the same movie.
, so he has a plan. If Peter Jackson can sell Weta Digital to him, he can even hand over "Lord of the Rings" and "Iron Man 2" to him to direct. Unfortunately, judging from the current situation,
He wholeheartedly looked towards the bright moon, but the bright moon illuminated the ditch!
"Let it go!" Yi Feiyang muttered and stopped thinking about it. As the car bumped, he fell into a slumber.
…
Yi Feiyang doesn't like hotels in Wellington very much. They don't feel as friendly as Hilton. After thinking about it, he doesn't know how many times he goes to Hilton in a year, so he naturally feels friendly. What's more, Hilton has a partnership with him, so he can go there.
Discounts and enjoying the lowest prices are of course the first choice for me, who is called a miser. I feel relieved when I think of this.
Back in the room, Dures and Fat Jack were waiting for him. As soon as he saw Yi Feiyang pushing the door in, Dures asked anxiously: "How was it? Yi, is the negotiation successful?"
Yi Feiyang shook his head. This was not because he was frustrated. He was sure that Peter Jackson would not sell it like this. Unless... unless the fat man went bankrupt soon, it would be difficult to sell these properties. After thinking about it, he frowned and asked:
"Has there been any reply from the North American theater chain? Can Weta Digital go bankrupt within three days?"
Yi Feiyang's method is very simple and very vicious. Since Peter Jackson refuses to sell the company, he will use the power of the big guys in the North American theater chain to force him to surrender.
You must know that theater chains and film companies generally complement each other. Film companies rely on controlling theater chains to release movies, and theater chains make money by releasing movies. If those theater chains collectively affect the film companies, they will not give Weta Digital a chance to survive.
, then, no matter how awesome Peter Jackson is, he will be cornered.
"The action has already begun over there. God, you are so scary. I guess Peter Jackson still doesn't know what kind of opponent he is facing." Dures sighed.
"We can't take it lightly. If Peter tries to save himself, we will fail!" Yi Feiyang said cautiously.
"No problem! Peter Jackson only has two properties and some stocks in his name with a total value of less than 30 million. In order to develop Weta Digital, he previously mortgaged US$180 million in equity. This year, Weta Digital
The estimated market value was originally less than 500 million US dollars, but after we intervened in the acquisition, it improved slightly and reached 500 million US dollars." Fat Jack had already memorized the information in his mind and said.
"I have analyzed it over the past few days. With our financial resources, it would be very easy to force him to go bankrupt!" Dures smiled. But his expression suddenly changed: "But, dear Wellington Yi, if we really want to force him
If we go bankrupt, we may lose about US$100 million to US$200 million! Is it worth it?”
"It's absolutely worth it! This company will definitely be able to bring us ten times the profit in the future!" Yi Feiyang said in an extremely positive tone, affirming this action with an attitude that could not be denied: "Adu, this time it is still up to you not to let anything go.
I am disappointed. All preparations must be completed within seven days. If he does not surrender within seven days, he will be bankrupt immediately!"
Dures and Fat Jack were both confused as to why Yifeiyang was sure that this company had such huge potential. However, Yifeiyang didn't tell them anything specific and just let them operate.
Wellington is a beautiful city, and such a city can best inspire people's creativity and inspiration.
At least, Yi Feiyang had the inspiration to start filming the next movie in the hotel room.
Specifically, Yi Feiyang was watching a program on TV at that time, and it was suddenly broadcast to overseas news. The news content was about the case of rape of women in India.
Yi Feiyang remembers clearly that cases like this in India fermented in his previous life and became the biggest news in the world. Especially rape cases, as well as cases of persecution of women and children, were the biggest cancer in India. It can be said that India
It is the region with the largest gap between rich and poor in the world, and the region that best reveals the true face of capitalist society.
But the overall impression of India comes from an Oscar-winning movie in his previous life, the world-famous "Slumdog Millionaire"!
The definition of "brilliance" is different for everyone. When people get old and are about to complete the whole journey of their lives, they will lie on the bed and recall the glorious past they once had, maybe with a little regret, maybe with a little regret.
Being satisfied will at least help them re-understand the meaning of life... But for the male protagonist Jamal Malik, the "brilliance" in his life is today. On this most important day in his life, Jamal only needs to
If he answers a question correctly, he will get a large bonus that can turn his life upside down - 20 million rupees. Because he participated in an Indian TV show called "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", passed all the tests and finally finally
Rush to the final level.
The 18-year-old Jamal was originally the least optimistic challenger on the show because he was not only too young, but also an orphan who grew up in the slums of Mumbai. But now, he is far away from becoming a "multimillionaire".
There was only one step away... Just as the show was about to enter the live broadcast that night, Jamal was suddenly arrested by the police on suspicion of defrauding a large bonus in the show - indeed, a man who had never
How could a boy with no education and who wandered the streets every day know so much knowledge and answer all the questions in the show?
In order to expose how Jamal deceived him on the live show and to find out all the secrets hidden behind him, the police detective planned to spend an entire night to interrogate Jamal unexpectedly and investigate his incredible past.
…
It can be said that this movie has a Hollywood-style smooth narrative, full of suspense, and a thrilling storytelling method. It has the romance and brightness of American stories, a fairy tale temperament, an epic-style big picture, and the humanistic care of European movies.
.At the 66th American Film Golden Globe Awards, "Slumdog Millionaire" suddenly emerged as the biggest winner of the night, winning four awards for Best Drama Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Film Music.
, and at the next Oscar Awards, it swept the entire army and won an incredible five awards!
For Yi Feiyang, if he wants to compete with Spielberg's "Artificial Intelligence", this drama is the only one that can stand out!
In the previous life, this drama was adapted from the novel of the same name by an Indian writer, but it has not been created yet and requires Yi Feiyang to be completely "original". For this reason, Yi Feiyang began to study various information and materials about India in the hotel room.
