Chapter 393 This Industrial Light and Magic should pay attention
Industrial Light and Magic has become so famous after more than 20 years, specializing in special effects for movies, and has won numerous honors, such as "Finding Nemo", "The Incredibles", "Ice Age", "Cars", "Toy Story", etc.
The cartoons are all the work of Industrial Light and Magic, and these achievements alone are enough to make countless film and television companies look up to them.
However, in 1985, Industrial Light and Magic was still a small company, and its business situation had serious problems. It was even on the verge of bankruptcy. The founder, director Lucas, must also be in dire straits.
It seems incredible, but it is the fact. Even though Lucas relied on Industrial Light and Magic to complete the production of an unprecedented Star Wars movie, his production method has not been recognized by more people. His special effects have
In this era, it is still a bit too fast and too expensive. Even big Hollywood productions often have headaches. In addition, the current movies are all feature films, and special effects are rarely used, so his Industrial Light and Magic was founded five years ago.
After a few years, it has reached a point where it is unsustainable.
Why Liu Lang knows this is very simple, because next year, in 1986, twenty years later, the world-famous Gang Leader Qiao was kicked out of the Apple company he founded. In a fit of anger, he bought Industrial Light and Magic and established
A company called Pixar, in his
Under his leadership, Pixar gradually developed into a top special effects company. Pixar later cooperated with Disney, and the powerful alliance has since swept the world. The special effects of the Marvel series of movies were all created by Pixar, which can be called a visual feast.
.
The current Industrial Light and Magic is just a special effects company on the verge of bankruptcy. If they cooperate with Liu Lang to produce Transformers cartoons, I believe they will be very happy. Of course, this is not Liu Lang’s purpose. Liu Lang is planning to make Industrial Light and Magic
He bought and established his own special effects company. Once he masters this resource, he will be beautiful.
"Mr. Liu, you actually know this Industrial Light & Magic company?"
Lin Guodong was a little surprised. In fact, he had been asking about any companies in the United States that could produce cartoons in the past two months. He had also heard of the name of Industrial Light and Magic, and he also knew that the founder was the great director Lucas, but
He felt that the price of a company founded by such a big director must be very high. Transformers has just started and doesn’t have much money, so he didn’t get to know the company in depth. Now he heard Liu Lang say that Industrial Light & Magic is about to go bankrupt.
It's incredible.
"This boss of mine is really unfathomable. It seems that he has many friends in the United States. His connections are really great!"
Lin Guodong thought to himself.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I have learned a little bit about some animation companies before, including Industrial Light and Magic. The great director Lucas is also someone I like. I will go find him when I get back and talk to him."
Regarding cooperation, since they are almost bankrupt, I believe the asking price will not be too high!"
Lin Guodong replied.
"Well, let's discuss it in detail first. If the price is right, we will cooperate with them. In addition, all the publishing fees for my book in the United States will be transferred to the branch's account, and you can use it as you like!"
Liu Lang opened his mouth and said.
"No, no, Mr. Liu, that's your royalties, I can't use them!"
Lin Guodong waved his hands repeatedly.
It is unimaginable for Lin Guodong to buy more than 50,000 copies in a month. Now Transformers only sells a few thousand copies a month. The price of "Third Industry Wave" is 15 US dollars a copy, %
The manuscript fee for Ten is one yuan and a half, and 50,000 copies is more than 70,000 U.S. dollars! It’s more than 70,000 U.S. dollars a month, and in a year
That's more than 800,000 US dollars, which is higher than the annual salary of presidents of many large companies... Lin Guodong felt "horrible" when he thought about it. Liu Lang could earn money that he couldn't earn in decades just by reading this book.
, this is the gap! But no matter how much money there is, it is still Liu Lang's personal income from royalties and has little to do with Shengtang culture.
Liu Lang waved his hand.
"What is money? If you don't spend it, it will always be paper. Only when you spend it is money. Some people spend money to buy consumer goods, cars, and houses. These all need to be bought with money. Most people will do this, but for an entrepreneur
He said that for them, money is not only for consumption, but also for money to be regenerated.
Those royalties are of no use to me. I am not short of money in China. It is cheaper to put it in the bank. Shengtang Culture needs money, so I use these royalties as start-up capital...Brother Guodong, I
I believe in your abilities and your character, don’t you even believe in yourself?”
Liu Lang's words were very level, and Lin Guodong could only nod his head.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I will make the money increase in value!"
"That's right. By the way, Brother Zequan, I heard that you want to set up a law firm in the United States. This is a good idea. I support you!"
Lin Zequan wanted to open a law firm in the United States. He told Liu Lang on the phone a month ago. Of course, Liu Lang had no problem and immediately agreed.
It's true that the other party is his private lawyer, but this private lawyer mainly helps Liu Lang deal with foreign companies. As for the country, the two groups of Mu Xiaohu and Yongli Group are enough.
Lin Zequan's father is also a well-known lawyer in Hong Kong. He runs a law firm with others and is considered one of the partners. This is the only industry of the Lin family. Unlike Sun Mingren, his father is not only a justice, but also a lawyer.
He has his own media industry, and although his wealth is not as strong as that of the Huo family, in terms of social status, it may not be much lower than Huo Yingnan.
Lin Zequan's grandfather was a lawyer. No, in that era it should have been called a lawyer. His father was also a lawyer. He himself graduated from the law department of a well-known university. Not only him, but also one of his younger brothers and sisters also studied law.
A standard legal family, so it is very normal to establish a law firm in the United States.
"Mr. Liu, this law firm was invested by my father, and I also own some shares, so I want to come forward to help. However, the fact that I am your personal lawyer cannot be changed. Of course, my father also knows this.
So in the end our Lin family decided that we hope you can become a shareholder of this company. This is an agreement, take a look!"
Lin Zequan suddenly took out a contract and handed it to Liu Lang.
"protocol?"
Liu Lang was also slightly shocked. The other party didn't tell him about this! Why is there suddenly an agreement?
Taking the contract handed over by Lin Zequan, Liu Lang saw that it was indeed a contract, a contract for the distribution of shares.
The Lin family established a law firm in Los Angeles, USA. The partner is Lin Zequan's father, Lin Zhixiang, who holds 40% of the shares. Lin Zequan holds 20% of the shares. In addition, Lin Zequan's younger brother and sister each hold 10% of the shares.
, the remaining 20% of the shares are all owned by Liu Lang.
In other words, the property rights of this law firm belong to both the Lin family and Liu Lang. In addition, the contract also states that Liu Lang's 20% share does not need to pay any monetary fees at all and is provided free of charge by the Lin family.
