"George, movies are your life. Since you agreed to be the head of Shengtang Film and Television Company, I also promise to provide you with a good script. Anyway, this thing is very simple for me. I can write it in a few days.
Come one."
If Lucas wants to return to his old career, Liu Lang will certainly support him strongly.
"Don't brag, I want a good script!"
"Don't worry, I will be able to write one for you in two days. It's called "Die Hard". As for the actors, I think the guy named Bruce Willis should be able to do it!"
"Die Hard" is Bruce Willis' famous work. Liu Lang remembers that this movie was released in early 1989. According to the time, it should have started filming in the first half of 1988, which is only half a year ago.
It's time, maybe the script has just started to be written, and the actors haven't been decided yet, Bruce?
Willis is still just a small character, Liu Lang just "cut off" it. Anyway, he can write this script in just a few days. As for the director... What kind of director does this kind of police movie need?
Apart from the explosions, it’s just about being cool, there’s not much technical content, it’s just fun to shoot.
"'Die Hard'? The name sounds quite domineering. What's the content?"
Lucas asked immediately, and everyone present was also curious.
"The content is very simple. It is that a police detective came to Los Angeles from New York to meet his wife who had been separated for half a year. He also wanted to take this opportunity to get back together with his wife. The two were invited to attend a Christmas party held on the 30th floor of a building.
party, but a group of gangsters took advantage of the more than 600 million yuan in public bonds stored in the building's vault. They blocked the building and took the party attendees hostage. The police detective managed to escape, but in order to save his wife, he was single.
A fierce fight started with the gangsters!"
Liu Lang is so familiar with this movie that he remembers this series of movies clearly.
"The plot is very simple!"
Lucas felt the script was unreliable.
"George, this is just the main plot. The selling point of this movie is the battle of wits between police and gangsters, as well as exciting scenes such as explosions. Don't worry, I will mark it clearly when I write the script, and I can guarantee that this is also a good movie.
For blockbuster movies, Sheng Tang Film Production Company has been able to gain fame with "Pulp Fiction" and "Die Hard", and it will not be slower than Sheng Tang Music!"
Liu Lang vowed to do so.
"Okay, then you just write the script. Is half a year enough?"
"Half a year? Half a year to write the script. I will give you the script in a week. I will give you a budget of four million US dollars for this movie, but it will take me half a year to make the movie!"
Liu Lang would not let others get there first, even though he was considered a "plagiarist".
"Okay, Liu, it's a deal. As long as you give me a good script, I'll start filming right away. I can film it for you in five months, not to mention half a year!"
Lucas is not a rookie like Quentin Tarantino. He has long been a big director in Hollywood, and is still a shareholder of Sundown. He has many resources behind him. "Die Hard" is not "Planet".
"Battle", you can tell by listening to the plot that there are no computer special effects and not much post-production. This kind of movie is an assembly line and can be shot very quickly.
Quentin Tarantino on the side was really filled with emotion. This is a film and television giant. Making a movie is as simple as one sentence. What a difference!
"George, you are wrong. You are not filming for me. You are also the major shareholder of Shengtang. If the movie makes money, you can also get the money. Brother Sun, the film production company has been established. Everything will be divided according to the model of Shengtang Music. Likewise,
It's 10% equity.
I will provide 9% of the shares, and the remaining 1%... George, this 1% will be paid by you, and the profit sharing will also be based on the Shengtang Music model... In addition, I have decided,
At the beginning of next year, Shengtang Company will launch a listing plan and strive to go public as soon as possible. As for the shares, except for the three shareholders including me, George and Brother Lin, all the shareholders sitting here have shares! Brother Sun, your Sun family is fully responsible for this matter!"
Liu Lang's words made everyone's eyes shine. Liu Lang was actually going to be listed on the stock market, which meant that they would also become shareholders, and it also meant that they would become rich soon.
Shengtang is now the darling of the capital market. Many recruitment organizations have approached Shengtang, hoping to promote its listing. The reason is very simple. Shengtang's resources are so good that there are no liabilities at all. They are all high-quality capital. Those on Wall Street predict
, Shengtang is currently worth 50 million U.S. dollars. Once listed, it will be no problem to exceed 80 million U.S. dollars, or even over 100 million U.S. dollars. You must know that Marvel, an old comics company that has been established for 40 years, has a current market value of only 2 U.S. dollars.
A little over 100 million US dollars.
After the listing, many senior executives will receive a large number of shares. If they sell them immediately, they can earn at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. Of course, these people here will not do such stupid things. Everyone can see the future of Shengtang Company. According to
If it continues to develop at this rate, I am afraid that within five years it will become one of the largest entertainment companies in the United States. Its market value should not be lower than that of "Fox", "Universal", and "Paramount". The market values of these companies are all in the ten-digit range.
Starting from US$100 million, there will be no problem for these people sitting here to become millionaires by then.
Sun Mingren was not an employee of Shengtang, but Liu Lang asked him to be responsible for the company's listing. This was another big opportunity for the Sun family.
The Sun family has been working with the NBA for more than half a year. During this time, they have gradually become famous in the industry, growing from an inconspicuous law firm to a medium-sized one. They have also established several departments, including civil law, economic law, and criminal law.
Legal, the scale has expanded two or three times, and employees have
The number increased to more than 20 people, and even the famous lawyer Robert Kardashian became a partner of the Sun Law Firm. Yes, this Kardashian will be the NBA's "All Defensive Team" more than 20 years later.
Father, now that he is related to the NBA, there seems to be some divine will!
Even in the United States, listing is a very complicated matter. It has to go through three stages: comprehensive evaluation, standardized restructuring, and formal launch, involving finance, taxation, corporate systems, corporate debts, and company equity distribution. There are really too many.
, especially high-quality companies like Shengtang, many companies
If they want to subscribe to it internally and become the listing agency of Shengtang Company and successfully go public, the Sun family will receive a very generous salary, but more important than money is that they will become a well-known firm.
, and at the same time joined Shengtang Company to become an independent director member of its cooperation.
As everyone knows, the listing of Shengtang Company is just the beginning. Now the company already has two branches, Shengtang Music and Shengtang Pictures. These two companies can also be split and listed. Each listing is an expansion of capital.
Everyone will get a lot of wealth every time.
It can be said that Liu Lang's decision made everyone extremely happy and everyone was more motivated.
Of course, the current valuation of Shengtang by the outside world is 50 million US dollars. Liu Lang feels that this is really an underestimate of Shengtang. Why did he set the listing time for the second half of next year? It is to rapidly expand Shengtang's wealth during this year.
, as long as the two branches of Shengtang Music and Shengtang Pictures come up with highly influential works, I believe that by this time next year, the value of Shengtang Company will be far from 50 million US dollars, and it will not be more than 100 million US dollars.
