Entertainment: Taking her daughter out of the house, it is popular on the Internet

Chapter 327 Overseas Layout, Theaters in Hand (Seeking Monthly Pass for Subscription)

Herman has a vigorous personality. After talking to Gu Chenfeng, he held a video conference with the shareholders of the board of directors that night.

The entire senior management of Disney discussed for two hours, and finally agreed to sell 20.00% of the equity of Disney Cinemas to Gu Chenfeng.

After finishing the board of directors, Herman couldn't wait to come to the gold market.

After Gu Chenfeng got the news, he received Herman in a five-star hotel.

"Mr. Herman, you are too anxious. You just talked about it yesterday, but you came here today. This may be very detrimental to the next negotiation!" Gu Chenfeng poured a cup of tea for Herman , said with a smile.

Herman smiled bitterly: "The whole world knows the situation facing Disney Films. If I'm delaying, it will only become more and more unfavorable to us."

Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "That's true."

Herman looked at Gu Chenfeng with burning eyes, and said, "Mr. Gu, have you been waiting for me?"

Gu Chenfeng smiled and said, "Why do you say that?"

Herman replied: "I have asked people to investigate. Although Universal, Paramount and other companies have indeed approached you, you don't seem to be particularly interested in them, so I guess your goal is us Disney from beginning to end."

Gu Chenfeng laughed loudly and said: "I have to admit, Mr. Herman, you are indeed a very wise person. When I cooperated with you on the global release of "Zootopia", I went to learn about Hollywood. According to the relevant information of the six giants, the operating conditions of the two companies, Disney and MGM, do not seem to be very good.”

"And between Disney and MGM, I am still more optimistic about Disney. After all, you have more serious problems than MGM. This is completely in my best interest, so I chose Disney as the "Crazy Zootopia" one's business Patner."

"Including the current "Inception", the reason why I chose you Disney is also because of the 40% share. Only you are the most likely to agree. For MGM, at least 43%."

"You Disney originally pinned all your hopes on the movie "Around the Stars", but unfortunately this movie failed. Last year, if "Zootopia" hadn't returned your blood in time, I'm afraid your It could get worse!"

Hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, Herman's heart was agitated. When he was negotiating with Gu Chenfeng about the three superhero comics, Herman could see that Gu Chenfeng was not a simple character.

Now after hearing what he said, I admire Gu Chenfeng's thoughtfulness even more.

So he said bitterly: "Indeed, if it weren't for "Zootopia", our situation would be even worse. At the same time, Mr. Gu, you also used this animated movie to let us see your ability."

"This is really in line with Hua Guo's words. Show off your own strength, but not fully reveal your own strength, and subdue your opponent a little bit. Now we, Disney, are very optimistic about Mr. Gu."

"Especially the achievements of the movie "Inception" after its release made Disney executives very optimistic about Mr. Gu, so they also agreed to you to invest in Disney theaters."

Gu Chenfeng smiled and said: "That's really good. I specifically read the history of the six major Hollywood film companies. No matter in which period, there will always be one or two giants that fall behind. Unfortunately, this time it is Disney and Michael Kors. May these two."

Herman said with admiration: "Mr. Gu is not only talented, but also a shrewd Chinese. Working with you, maybe we can really save Disney from danger."

Gu Chenfeng smiled and said, "Mr. Herman, you agreed to my conditions, right?"

Herman nodded and said: "Our company's top management has already agreed, and the quotation is 32 billion US dollars, plus the film adaptation rights of "Harry Potter" and peripheral copyrights, then Mr. Gu can buy our Disney theaters for 20.00 % of the shares."

Hearing this, Gu Chenfeng's expression changed slightly, and he said, "It seems that you, Disney, are not sincere in negotiating with me! Do you really think that the success of "Inception" can help Disney get out of the predicament?"

Now the total market value of Disney Cinemas is 150 billion, 20.00% of the shares, the value should be 30 billion US dollars.

But now Disney not only wants Gu Chenfeng to give 32 billion US dollars, but also rewards the film adaptation rights and peripheral copyrights of "Harry Potter", this is simply a joke.

Herman said: "Mr. Gu, this is already the bottom line of Disney's board of directors."

Gu Chenfeng took a deep look at him, and said: "The 28 billion US dollars plus the rights to adapt the first three films of "Harry Potter" will be exchanged for 20.00% of the shares of Disney Cinemas. As for the peripherals of the movies, I don't plan to Sell ​​to any company."

"Mr. Gu, do you think this is possible?" Herman frowned.

Now that Disney has the success of the movie "Inception", the stock price has risen somewhat, and they have also obtained the overseas announcement of the comics from Gu Chenfeng. If Gu Chenfeng shoots these three movies , Disney also has the opportunity to invest 20.00%.

"There is nothing impossible." Gu Chenfeng said with a smile: "First of all, the eight novels of "Harry Potter" can be made into ten movies. As long as the first movie can achieve both box office and word-of-mouth, then the At that time, Disney's stock price will skyrocket immediately, and more importantly, I plan to start filming the three superheroes "Iron Man", "Spider-Man" and "Hulk" in the future."

"I promised you at the beginning that I can give you a share of the investment. I can say that these three films, as long as they are made, will cause a global sensation that will definitely not be smaller than "Inception"."

"If you follow the three superhero movies of "Iron Man" and shoot "Harry Potter", then Disney will be able to release four blockbuster movies in a year, which will not only solve your current crisis, but even make Disney a Soaring into the sky and returning to the top, this will definitely benefit you and not harm you at all."

Herman looked at Gu Chenfeng in disbelief, and asked, "Mr. Gu is going to shoot the three superheroes "Iron Man", "Spiderman" and "Hulk" again?"

"Of course!" Gu Chenfeng nodded, and continued: "These three superhero comics are already very popular in our country. If you Disney can do more, after I shoot them, maybe overseas The market has also opened up."

Herman asked: "Mr. Gu is so confident that these three comic films will be a big hit? Can the novel "Harry Potter" be a big hit?"

Gu Chenfeng heard the words, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said: ""Inception" and the works I created have already explained everything. Since I want to shoot, I must Take good pictures of them, otherwise wouldn’t you be shooting yourself in the foot?”

"Besides, Mr. Herman, whether it is the three comics or the novel "Harry Potter", you have come to me in person. Don't you think that the comics and this novel are the most likely to succeed? A series of movies?"

"If you didn't come out of this judgment, then Mr. Herman, you wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to China in such a hurry, right?"

Hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, Herman was taken aback, and finally admitted: "Indeed, we are very optimistic about those three comics and this "Harry Potter" novel, although there are not many comics abroad. Fans, but the quality and stories of the manga are very good, we believe it will be loved by everyone."

"As for the novel "Harry Potter", what we value is the tens of millions of book fans, but this does not mean that you can keep the price so low."

Gu Chenfeng smiled and said: "It's okay, just wait a little longer. I originally planned to start filming these three superhero movies this year, so I can just take a rest. I've been busy making movies anyway. , haven't had a good rest yet."

"Are you planning to start filming this year?" Herman stared at Gu Chenfeng and asked.

"Yes!" Gu Chenfeng nodded, and said: "I plan to shoot this year, but it's still in my plan, and I haven't started preparing for the crew, after all, "Inception" hasn't been released yet. "

For Gu Chenfeng, he is really not in a hurry to sell the "Harry Potter" movie to change the copyright, because he still has three comic movies to prepare for shooting.

As for "Harry Potter", if the first three films can be used to invest in Disney's theaters, it would be a good deal. After all, this novel has always been the dark thread of Gu Chenfeng's development, and no one else knows about it.

To the outside world, it was only known that Gu Chenfeng had created three superhero comics, and everyone knew that Gu Chenfeng would definitely make these three comics into movies.

So everyone didn't notice the popularity of the book "Harry Potter" overseas.

Gu Chenfeng can afford to wait, but Disney can't afford it anymore. Although the three comics can be made into a movie, it might make Disney recover a little bit, but that won't solve the problem.

After all, Gu Chenfeng, not Disney, was the filmmaker for these three comics. They were only investors and did not have much influence.

But buying the "Harry Potter" movie and changing the copyright is different. Disney can shoot and produce it by itself, which has a great impact on Disney's stock price.

It can be said that the "Harry Potter" series of movies is the last straw for Disney, and Herman has no choice at all.

And he is not the kind of CEO who is willing to watch Disney slowly die, so he understands the importance of this novel to the Disney company.

At the same time, he finally understands why Gu Chenfeng has been looking for Disney to cooperate with him again and again. His feeling is that he is afraid that Disney will die suddenly and be swallowed up by other Hollywood companies. If this is the case, Gu Chenfeng wants to gain global coverage The chances of getting a line are very slim.

After all, the other Hollywood giants have abundant capital flow, and their films are relatively stable. Although not every film company's works can be a hit, they can at least get a good box office.

Since the failure of "Around the Stars", Disney has been in a slump since then, and no good movies have been released.

At this moment, Gu Chenfeng's cell phone rang.

"Hey, husband, just now someone who claimed to be the president of Warner Asia called me." Luo Qingcheng's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Gu Chenfeng held the handset of the mobile phone and said to Herman: "Mr. Herman, I'm sorry, I'm going out to answer the phone."

After speaking, he opened the door of the box and went out to answer the phone.

As a China hand, Herman had just clearly heard what Luo Qingcheng said on the phone, so he quickly took out his mobile phone and called the chairman of Disney.

Now even Warner, the giant, has already made a move, which made Herman even more worried.

After 10 minutes, Gu Chenfeng returned to the treasure box, and Herman also finished talking with the chairman on the phone.

Gu Chenfeng smiled and said: "Mr. Herman, although we failed to cooperate successfully this time, we have always been partners and friends."

Hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, Herman realized something in an instant, and said, "Mr. Gu, it was Warner who found your wife just now? Are they willing to sell you the shares of Warner Cinema?"

Gu Chenfeng showed an unpredictable smile, and said: "There are many things that need to be discussed. I am not in a hurry. Originally, I was a part-time job in filming and writing scripts. My main job is a baby daddy."

Herman definitely wouldn't believe Gu Chenfeng's words. After pondering for a while, he said, "Mr. Gu, I just reported to the chairman that 20.00% of the shares of Disney Cinemas will be exchanged for 30 billion US dollars. In addition to the adaptation rights of the eight Harry Potter films, we have the priority for the peripherals of the films."

"If you agree, we can sign the contract today. If you don't agree, forget it."

Hearing Herman's words, Gu Chenfeng began to calculate.

30 billion U.S. dollars, that is, 180 billion soft sister coins. Now Qingchen Entertainment Company, before the income from "Inception", the accumulated property is only 200 billion soft sister coins.

If you take out 180 billion at once...
It's okay, and Disney theaters will definitely bring more benefits in the future.

So Gu Chenfeng took out a bottle of Moutai, poured a glass for Herman and himself respectively, then picked up the glass and said with a smile: "It's a happy cooperation."

Hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, Herman was overjoyed, and immediately raised his glass and said, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

The two clinked glasses of wine.

In the afternoon of that day, Gu Chenfeng signed a cooperation agreement with Herman.

When Gu Chenfeng returned to the company, Gu Chenfeng said to Zhang Qingqing: "Sister Zhang, I need to go to the Foreign Exchange Management Department to handle foreign exchange business tomorrow, you call Minister Liu, let's go together, and then go to the Lighthouse Country .”

Hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, Zhang Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she said, "Mr. Gu, have you really negotiated with Disney and invested 30 billion US dollars in their Disney theaters?"

Regarding "Harry Potter", Gu Chenfeng didn't tell anyone else, so even Zhang Qingqing, the agent, didn't know about it.

Only Wang Yao and Luo Qingcheng knew about it.

Gu Chenfeng nodded, and said: "Yes, if we want to go to the world film market, we must have our own theaters, otherwise we will be stuck. This time we can win the Disney theaters, which can be regarded as a reward. Our film in a while will go to the international film market to pave the way."

Zhang Qingqing looked at Gu Chenfeng with admiration on his face, and said, "Doesn't that mean that you will also be a Hollywood bigwig in the future?"

"No, I'm just an ordinary actor in Huaguo, and my investment in Disney theaters is just to ensure that my movie won't be choked by others when it's released globally." Gu Chenfeng explained.

When he signed the contract with Disney, he also signed the investment contract for three superhero comics.

According to Gu Chenfeng's budget, the investment in these three comic films is as high as 20.00 million U.S. dollars, and Disney will take 6000% of the shares, which is [-] million U.S. dollars.

But Disney only has dividend rights, not management rights.

After all, Gu Chenfeng won't have a producer in his head for his own movie.

Zhang Qingqing is used to Gu Chenfeng's invisible pretentiousness, and asked, "By the way, Mr. Gu, the three comics "Iron Man", "Spiderman" and "Hulk" are really going to be made into movies. ?"

"Yes!" Gu Chenfeng nodded, and said: "Sister Zhang, after the Disney matter is settled, I will write the scripts of the three comics. We can prepare the crew."

"Okay!" Zhang Qingqing nodded.

I am in admiration for Gu Chenfeng's talent, ability, state of mind, and Zhang Qingqing.

While the domestic entertainment companies were still staring at the domestic market, Gu Chenfeng had already set his sights abroad, and had already begun to deploy overseas. Even Zhang Qingqing was shocked by this kind of forward-looking ability.

However, the better Gu Chenfeng performed, the happier Zhang Qingqing was.

Although she cannot be his child's stepmother, she is also the woman behind him.

···
At night, Gu Chenfeng came home and told Luo Qingcheng about it.

When Luo Qingcheng heard that it wanted 30 billion US dollars, she asked worriedly: "Husband, do you have enough money for your company? I still have more than [-] million US dollars that you brought back last time. If it is not enough, you can go there!" "

Gu Chenfeng said with a smile: "My wife, how can I get back the money I gave you? You should find a good big villa for that money, and we will buy a villa when the time comes."

"The company's previous movies, animation movies and some peripheral money have all been recovered. There are 200 billion, which is completely enough, and this time it has the right to adapt the movie of "Harry Potter."

Hearing Gu Chenfeng say that those movies he made before actually accumulated to 200 billion, Luo Qingcheng almost dropped his jaw in shock, and said with emotion: "My husband, you are really amazing, you have accumulated so much wealth in such a short period of time." .”

Gu Chenfeng smiled and said: "No matter how rich you are, it's just a number. Taking care of you and Tangtang is my biggest dream."

Luo Qingcheng warned: "Husband, you are going to the Lighthouse Country again. It is not safe there, especially when such a large investment is involved, you must bring more people there."

"Don't worry!" Gu Chenfeng nodded, and said, "I will find a few private bodyguards in China, besides, your husband and I are very skilled."

Luo Qingcheng looked at Gu Chenfeng and kept scanning his body, always feeling that the kung fu in his mouth was not serious.

really···
The next morning, Gu Chenfeng took Liu Kuang and Zhang Qingqing together to submit an application for exchanging 30 billion U.S. dollars to the Foreign Exchange Management Department.

In order to get the approval as soon as possible, Gu Chenfeng approached Su Changde from the Department of Culture and asked him for help.

For Gu Chenfeng, a talented young man, the Department of Culture valued him very much. After learning that he was going to buy 20.00% of the shares of Disney Cinemas, Su Changde was quite surprised and said, "Mr. Gu, are you kidding me?"

Everyone knows that the six major Hollywood giants are very interested in their respective cinema chains. There were many companies in Huaguo who wanted to buy it before, but they all failed in the end.

Of course, one family has succeeded, but now that one family has the nationality of the Lighthouse Country, they are no longer considered Chinese.

If Gu Chenfeng succeeds in this matter, he will be the first Chinese in China to own an overseas theater chain, so Su Changde will be surprised.

Gu Chenfeng briefly talked with Su Changde about the process of buying Disney theaters, and said: "If Disney wants to get through the current predicament, or even return to the top, then the novel "Harry Potter" That's the point, so they don't have a choice."

"Although I promised to invest in my three superhero comics, I can definitely delay the filming until after they go bankrupt. At that time, I won't be breaking my promise."

"But if they agree to my shareholding, I will start the film production of these three comics this year. This is definitely a very rare opportunity for them, so they are excited."

Su Changde said: "I have heard of this magical novel "Harry Potter". At that time, many entertainment companies in China wanted to buy its film and television rights to change copyrights. It seems that they have paid more than 1 million copyright fees. I didn’t sell it, I didn’t expect you to be the author of this book.”

"Okay, I've agreed to your matter. I'll report to my superiors in the afternoon and try to get you 30 billion US dollars in foreign exchange tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenfeng smiled and said, "That would be great, thank you Director Su."

If the foreign exchange can be successfully obtained tomorrow, then this matter can be confirmed as soon as possible. Gu Chenfeng still knows the reason why there are long nights and many dreams.

At this time, Su Changde said: "However, you have to promise me one condition."

"What condition?" Gu Chenfeng was stunned and asked.

Su Changde said in a deep voice: "Don't change your nationality, and be a Chinese forever."

When Gu Chenfeng heard it, his face instantly became extremely solemn, and he said: "I have no regrets in this life, and I will be a Chinese in the next life. Director Su, you can rest assured that I, Gu Chenfeng, was born in Hua, and died in Hua." Soul, this will never change."

"A change of nationality will never happen to me, Gu Chenfeng."

Hearing what Gu Chenfeng said, Su Changde slapped his thigh suddenly, and said, "Okay, well said, Mr. Gu, you said that you have no regrets in this life, and you will be a Chinese in the next life, which makes me feel strongly. Your patriotism for your country."

"I hope that no matter how much you achieve in the future, you can still remember your original intention today."

Gu Chenfeng nodded, and said: "Keep your original intention, I often say, and it's what I've been doing."

Although the Department of Culture and the Department of Foreign Exchange Management are not in the same system, the leaders above are connected, so after Su Changde reported this matter, someone called the Department of Foreign Exchange Management soon.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Gu Chenfeng received a call from Su Changde, saying that the matter had been settled, and Gu Chenfeng could take the money to Huaguo Bank to handle the exchange business today.

Upon receiving the news, Gu Chenfeng immediately took Liu Kuang, Zhang Qingqing and others to the bank.

Directly exchanged 30 billion U.S. dollars from the account of Qingchen Entertainment Company. After receiving the money, Gu Chenfeng flew to the Disney headquarters in New York with a few personal bodyguards that night.

It is worth mentioning that the few personal bodyguards that Gu Chenfeng found were all found by Wang Yao from the capital for him, and all of them were retired from her brother's team, and there was no problem with their skills.

After Gu Chenfeng arrived at the Disney headquarters, Herman did not make any small moves, and readily transferred 20.00% of the equity of Disney Cinemas to Gu Chenfeng.

At the dinner, Herman said: "Mr. Gu, I know that you are a very good screenwriter, and you are also the author of "Harry Potter". How about letting you do the adaptation?"

Gu Chenfeng smiled wryly and shook his head, "Mr. Herman, you think I'm a machine. After I go back, I have to adapt three superhero comics and write their scripts. Where did I find the time to adapt them?"

"Besides, I'm really not interested in changing the things I wrote. If "Harry Potter" wants to succeed, the most important thing is casting. I don't know what Mr. Herman is going to do?"

Herman obviously didn't understand what Gu Chenfeng meant, and said directly: "Of course the casting director is asked to go to various schools to find suitable young actors. Is there anything else that needs to be paid attention to?"

"Some things require a sharp edge!" Gu Chenfeng said with a smile: "If I were to choose, I would first select [-] to [-] actors who would agree with the role, and then let them each perform a part, and upload these videos to the audience. Go online, and then book fans will vote for the actors they think are suitable."

"In this way, "Harry Potter" can cause a big sensation before filming starts, and it can completely achieve the effect of being popular before it is broadcast."

Hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, Herman's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "My God, Mr. Gu, you are such a genius. This idea is really great."

Gu Chenfeng waved his hand and said: "I am the author of this book, of course I don't want to see it fail after being made into a movie, and this is the first movie in the "Harry Potter" series. It needs to be given [-]% attention."

"Only if the first film is successful in terms of box office and word of mouth, then your company can hope to make this series of films successful and achieve both fame and fortune."

"Mr. Herman, I wish you far, and I wish Disney good luck."

Herman quickly picked up the wine glass and touched Gu Chenfeng, saying: "I also wish "Harry Potter" good luck."

For this banquet, Herman invited many Disney stars to participate, among them there were many big beauties with hot bodies. For Gu Chenfeng, a handsome young man with rich money, and he was still single, many girls starred caught his attention.

After a two-hour banquet, Gu Chenfeng had more than 30 business cards in his hand, and more than 20 of them belonged to female celebrities.

Even domestic netizens don't know that Gu Chenfeng and Luo Qingcheng have obtained a marriage certificate, let alone overseas people.

But Gu Chenfeng knew very well that these business cards are sharp knives. As long as he can't hold back a little bit and something happened to one of the female stars, maybe Herman will get the relevant information the next day. The video will force Gu Chenfeng to amend the contract at that time.

After all, Disney, which can become one of the six giants in Hollywood, even if it is lonely now, their methods are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
