Chapter 633 Top [-] Global Box Office of the Year! (The third update asks for subscription!)
Tang An brought a few people into the hotel, and Fox's global distribution vice president Burt, Columbia vice president Elizabeth, lions and other company executives came up to welcome them.

Burt smiled, "Mr. Tang, I didn't expect you to like basketball too. It's a pity that the NBA is in the offseason and there are no games for now."

Tang An and everyone nodded and said hello, "I don't know much about it, I just have time to visit it occasionally."

Everyone inside knows what happened outside.

Regarding Tang An's threat to buy the Lakers, he just laughed it off.

Although it is almost impossible, but with assets of 43 billion, there is no problem in buying something with a valuation of 10 billion.

It's just a question of whether to buy it or not.

No one opened their mouths to laugh at Tang An for not understanding the rules here, and even Elizabeth kindly reminded her.

"Mr. Tang, there are many requirements for buying an NBA team. When Mr. Bass took over the Lakers, he was rejected by the league management. When Prokhorov bought the Nets, he was even interfered by the Congress. It is too difficult to buy the Lakers. .”

"I don't know about that, thank you for reminding me." Tang An pretended to be stunned.

Regardless of whether it is difficult or not, it is just a gimmick.

All major companies have their own business, and they are not entangled in this matter.

Being able to open a mouth is a billion-dollar deal, which also made the executives of major companies on the scene more confident in seeking investment.

Lynn Harris, the executive vice president of the production department of Warner Bros., spoke first. She had a drink with Tang An and said.

"Mr. Tang, Warner Bros. will produce and release a large number of films in the next three years. At present, films such as "Jupiter Ascending", "Secret Agent", "Peter Pan", "Heart of the Ocean", and "Extreme Thief" are all popular projects in Hollywood. , Many investors on Wall Street want to cooperate, if you are interested, we can accept part of the investment."

"Of course, I am very happy to cooperate with you." Tang An nodded and smiled.

What a fool, it's all a big show, the show can't be more miserable, Tang An is simply taken for a ride.

This Warner has just ended its cooperation with Legendary Pictures, and the management has been changed one after another, so how can we get rid of some garbage projects.

Not only Warner, which has just lost its most powerful partner, but other companies are not much better. Basically, Tang An has not heard of a few good projects.

However, Tang An did not refuse, and dealt with it one by one, saying that he would find another time to send someone to talk.

During the period, Tang An also clearly stated that he wanted to acquire two Hollywood film companies, and asked the executives of several major companies to recommend one or two.

If you say it clearly, no one will be vigilant.

With the precedent of bragging about buying the Lakers, Tang An is probably regarded as a typical example of a fool with a lot of money, after all, he is too young.

This time was different from the previous banquets, as producers, directors, screenwriters, and stars from all walks of life came together continuously.

With a net worth of 43 billion US dollars and the 299th richest man in the world, even if he is not from the United States, he is also very attractive to them.

After dealing with one crop after another, a white man immediately came forward to say hello, "Mr. Tang, I'm Ryan, Ryan Reynolds."

The actor of Deadpool, Tang An nodded slightly, "Hello."

"Mr. Tang, I used to play Deadpool in "Wolverine". This time I heard that you want to invest in the movie "Deadpool". Thank you very much." Ryan said excitedly.

"It's still under discussion, and it hasn't been decided yet." Tang An was noncommittal. As a director, he could see through the performances of these actors at a glance.

Ryan found a topic to chat for a few more words, and seeing that Tang An didn't respond to him, he also left very interestingly.

Coming to the friend, the friend immediately asked, "Ryan, how is it?"

"I don't know yet, but this Mr. Tang doesn't seem to want to talk to me." Ryan shook his head, but he didn't feel discouraged.

"That's right, I'm a big shot, so I can chat with you, but it seems that this matter is settled, Ryan, you are going to star in a superhero movie alone, and you are the next Robert Downey Jr." said the friend excitedly .

Early the next morning, Tang An rushed to another hotel to meet Ma Jingzhong, chairman of Xinke Materials Group.

Acquiring a Hollywood company allows the big boss to come over in person, and it is not easy to see their company's life.

"Hello, Mr. Ma."

Ma Jingzhong took the initiative to get up and shook hands with Tang An, "Dong Tang, I have admired your name for a long time. In the future, Xinke will ask Dong Dong for advice in the film and television industry."

Tang An smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, you are welcome. Your company is a mining giant, and the real economy is much more reliable than our illusory media industry."

Atletico Madrid sighed, "Now the macroeconomic environment is sluggish, and the development of the copper mine and copper processing industry is weak, so I want to open up new businesses."

Tang An nodded to express his understanding. Otherwise, Atletico Madrid would not have spent 11 billion to acquire a Changan Mengzhou, and even signed a gambling contract with a net profit of [-] million in three years.

It must be so desperate that you want to take a gamble in the film and television industry. You really think that just making a movie can be a big hit.

If you go to Omen to fight, you probably have better hopes than this.

At most two popular TV series can earn [-] million in net profit, but how many such TV series are there in a year, and how many domestic film and television companies are there.

Even Huace, the leader in the TV drama industry, dare not guarantee it, let alone a Changan Mengzhou.

After chatting for a few words, we started to get down to business.

"Mr. Ma, have you settled with Midnight Investment Company?" Tang An asked.

"It's almost done. I'm sending people to count the asset film library, co-produce and sell film copyrights and IP resources as an agent, and the financial issues are also being checked."

The asset appraisal and so on are jointly participated by both parties, and the legal, financial and actuary of Hantang Media also participated.

"The current valuation of Midnight Investment Company is about 5500 million US dollars, but the operation and assets of this company are very good. There are more than 200 film copyrights in the library, which can bring a lot of money every year. The purchase price is currently It’s 1.7 million US dollars, Nicolas Chatier’s core management team requested to retain 20% of the shares, and we need 1.36 million US dollars to acquire the remaining 80% of the shares.” Atletico Madrid quickly said a number.

Like Tang An's conclusion, this number is neither high nor low. After all, there are a large number of movie copyrights in the film library, and there are many movies that can be developed as sequels.

And Nicolas Chatier himself is a gold medal producer, and his management team is worth a lot of money.

At least it is a little cheaper than Xinke’s 600% premium later on, not to mention that “Dallas Buyers Club” will be released in November this year. This film was produced by Nicolas Chatier, and Midnight Investment’s Lightning Entertainment and another company invested.

"Mr. Ma, if you accept this price, then we will follow the original agreement. Hantang Media will contribute 8670 million US dollars to take up 51% of the shares, and your company will contribute 4930 million US dollars to take up 29% of the shares."

Hantang Media must be a controlling shareholder, which was agreed when Atletico Madrid came to Tang An, otherwise there are other goals.

There are tens of thousands of large and small film and television companies in Hollywood, and there are always suitable ones.

"No problem, we can sign the contract after we finish the evaluation."

Atletico Madrid did not go back on their word. It spent 11 billion on the acquisition of Changan Mengzhou last month. The funds are indeed insufficient, and they can catch up with Hantang Media, so they can develop better in the film and television industry.

An acquisition project will be discussed verbally, and Tang An will send people from China to settle the follow-up matters slowly, and will not participate in these trivial matters.

It is not uncommon for a domestic company to acquire a Hollywood company. In addition to Wanda, Fosun, one of the largest private holding groups in China, with assets of nearly 3000 billion, will invest in the president who has just left Warner’s high-level struggle at the beginning of next year. A company founded by Jeff Robinoff.

Wanda, Huayi, Ah Li, Kemet and other companies will successively acquire Hollywood companies.

After talking about business, we chatted for a while.

Atletico Madrid talked about the acquisition of the Lakers, which has been widely hyped, "Now Dong Dong is the enemy of the entire American sports circle."

Tang An waved his hand and said, "The enemies in the sports circle are a bit too much. It's just some Lakers fans who are scolding me. It's all media hype."

Just smelling the fishy smell, the reporter came up. Now that the NBA is off season, there is no big news, so Tang An just came up.

Entertainment news and sports news are all reported, and Tang An has become the enemy of all Lakers fans. On some sports TV stations, Tang An has also become a turkey who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

All interviews were rejected, and they could be fired up however they liked, as long as there was movement, it was enough, and Tang An didn't care.

However, the media hype indirectly helped Tang An, and even the box office of "Interstellar" grew slowly.

"Interstellar" has now received 2600 million domestic box office this week, and the total box office has also reached 19.76 billion, slowly moving towards the 20 billion mark.

Combined, Southeast Asia and Europe received US$2330 million this week. The trend is relatively stable, but it is definitely not as good as domestic ones.

In three weeks, the total box office in Southeast Asia and Europe reached 1.206 million US dollars.

In North America, this week, it received 1960 million US dollars, and the total box office in North America reached 8590 million US dollars.

All markets in the world add up to a total of 4690 million US dollars in a single week, missing the global weekly crown.

However, "Interstellar" has now surpassed the half-billion-dollar mark at the global box office, reaching a whopping $5.055 million!
It once again broke the global box office record and overseas box office record of Chinese-language movies, and ranked eighth in the 2013 global annual box office list!

The top seven are "Iron Man 3", "Minions 2", "Vegetarian Chicken 6", "Monsters University", "Superman: Man of Steel", "Crazy Primitives", "World War Z ".

Blockbuster films such as "Oz and the Wizard of Oz", "Star Trek", and "Wolverine" were under the pressure.

Although it is only the eighth place, and there will be Thanksgiving in the second half of the year, "Interstellar" is still in theaters, and it is very possible to maintain the top ten position in the world at the end of the year.

This will be the first non-Hollywood film to rank in the top ten annual box office worldwide!
