PS: PS: There is only one chapter today, because the time available for coding today is shorter than expected yesterday!Feel sorry!
"Well, since you have already decided, I won't say anything more. How much equity are you going to sell?" Fang Mingyuan said bluntly. Anyway, he said everything that should be said, so he couldn't hold their ears and said, "The Monster" The global box office of Shrek is likely to exceed [-] million US dollars.
"Alan hopes to recoup his investment in DreamWorks, Jeffrey hopes to continue to run the animation department, David hopes to be a shareholder who doesn't care, and as for me, I hope to have enough energy and funds to shoot what I want to shoot. Movies," Spielberg said.The Allen he mentioned was one of the founders of Microsoft, Paul Allen. He was an anonymous partner of DreamWorks and invested [-] million US dollars in the start-up capital of DreamWorks.It's just that the current amount of money has shrunk to a large extent.Fang Mingyuan nodded slightly. These requests were not beyond his expectations, but he still wanted to hear how much equity he could get in DreamWorks in the end, which would determine whether he accepted their conditions, and in the future What kind of attitude will you use to run this company.
"We hope that the shares of me, Jeffrey and David can reach 50.00%, and the rest of the shares will be all yours." Spielberg said. With 40.00% of Jiu's shares, he is naturally the company's well-deserved major shareholder.Moreover, the three of them also had a certain influence on the company's affairs and Fang Mingyuan's decision-making.If Fang Mingyuan became the controlling shareholder, DreamWorks would not belong to them at all.
"40.00%30.00?" Fang Mingyuan rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment and said, "I can accept a 3000% increase in shares. But for this money, even if Alan agrees to end his investment in the company. But the company's financial The situation has not improved significantly." DreamWorks now has a net worth of almost US$[-] million, but it still has US$[-] million in debt.Paul Allen didn't have to assume any debts, and he took away almost [-] million US dollars. There was nothing to say, but in this way, apart from the change of the company's major shareholders, the financial situation did not change at all.
A look of surprise flashed in Spielberg's eyes. He originally thought that the two parties would have a dispute over the shareholding ratio, because Fang Mingyuan has always been relatively strong on this issue.Either as a small shareholder, there is no major event that Fang Mingyuan thinks, and he doesn't care about anything.Or you have to be the one who can make a final decision.He also thought a lot about how to persuade Fang Mingyuan to accept this ratio, but who knows, it didn't work at all.
"Then you mean..." Spielberg said.
"I hope that now that you have made such a decision, you can simply rebuild a brand new DreamWorks company and let it go into battle lightly!" Fang Mingyuan said. "Also, after I take over DreamWorks, I also need to have strong funds to support the next plan. It's not that I can't get loans, but is it necessary for the vampires in the bank to share the benefits?"
"Fang, what's your plan?" Spielberg's eyes lit up immediately. Fang Mingyuan's words contained a lot of meaning.
"I plan to build a theme park in the United States, like Disneyland and Universal Studios!" Fang Mingyuan said.Spielberg was instantly refreshed.That's not a bad idea.The resources in the hands of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, such as "Jurassic Park", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Terminator", "Titanic", "Ice Age" and other movie scenes are truly reproduced.Let tourists have an immersive feeling, and at the same time, they can also experience and understand the movie set and how the special effects in the movie are shot, which is very attractive to the majority of tourists!It can be said that both Disneyland and Universal Studios have done this, and both have achieved very good results.If you add the film resources in the hands of DreamWorks and MGM Films, the theme park created can be as good as the theme park of Universal Studios!Moreover, some thrilling rides can also be arranged in this kind of theme park, just like a big amusement park, tourists often need two to three days to finish the whole park. Such consumption, such as catering and accommodation, will be quite considerable.
In the United States, if the theme park is well managed, it is a swan that lays golden eggs, which can bring huge profits to the company every year.Today's movies require hundreds of millions of dollars in investment. Once the movie fails at the box office, it will be a heavy blow to the company. If DreamWorks was able to flourish in records, TV dramas, and the Internet, it would fully develop the peripheral interests of the movie. Come out, not only the company's profit margin will be greatly improved, but also the ability to resist risks will be enhanced accordingly.It is not likely that the failure of one or two films will strain the company's funds.
As far as he knows, someone proposed a few years ago that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group could build a "Jurassic Park" theme park. Interested in.It's just that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has not been active in this regard.After that, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group produced more and more excellent works, and the voice of building a theme park became louder, but Hong Kong Kumho Film Group never responded.Many people think that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is not interested in this field.
"Moreover, I still have a few scripts in my hand, which can be handed over to DreamWorks and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group to complete, including movies and animations." Fang Mingyuan dropped another bomb.Now that he has become a major shareholder of DreamWorks, he naturally has to be treated differently.Moreover, Fang Mingyuan had to admit that although Dreamworks did not develop so well in several other fields, its achievements in the two fields of film and animation were quite dazzling.There are many reasons why DreamWorks has fallen to where it is today.After all, so far, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is the only film company that has not failed at the box office among the films screened around the world. So the boss changed.
Spielberg was delighted again. The script that Fang Mingyuan took a fancy to, whether it was a movie or an animation, had box office results that were worth looking forward to.If DreamWorks can really unload all the burdens and have a few good scripts, then it is not impossible to make a beautiful turnaround.
"Of course, if you insist, I won't force it. It's relatively easy for me to borrow money." Fang Mingyuan smiled.Now he does have the confidence. As long as DreamWorks announces that the next work will be a cooperation with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, "Fang" will have no difficulty in getting a loan from an American bank for the script, even It is the American bank that has no eye value, isn't there the second Gulf bank?
"Fang, I need to discuss this issue with them again." Spielberg said, although he personally supported Fang Mingyuan in his heart and was very confident in Fang Mingyuan's plan, but he couldn't express his opinion easily. On this issue, the three of them had already decided to advance and retreat together, so he could only speak so far before convincing the other two.Of course Fang Mingyuan also understood that after all, the three of them started a business together and came to this day together. Fang Mingyuan hoped to tie all three of them into the Fang family's camp, but he didn't intend to create any new conflicts from it, so he expressed generously , I can wait for news from Spielberg.
"I heard... after Pixar Animation Studio refused to terminate the contract, Disney sent an invitation to Hong Kong Kumho Film Group to cooperate?" Spielberg said.
"Well, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has indeed received it." Fang Mingyuan smiled.Although Disney has not made it public, Spielberg and the others, as senior Hollywood industry insiders, naturally have their own news channels, so it is not surprising to know this.
"Are you going to accept it?" Spielberg hesitated for a moment.Although Disney said that its performance has declined in recent years, as the most successful animation film production company in Hollywood and even in the world, it is also a veteran film company in Hollywood. It holds the copyrights of a bunch of classic animation films and cartoon characters. It can be said that it is far superior to other film companies. Although in recent years, animated films have also been valued by other film companies. There are upstarts such as DreamWorks, Pixar Animation Studios, and Blue Sky Studios. However, Disney His status in Hollywood has not been affected much.
"I will politely decline, Stephen, please forgive me, Gamestation and Blizzard still need the cooperation of Disney." Fang Mingyuan said seriously.He understood why Spielberg asked this question, and he naturally understood how to answer it.Now that you have chosen your allies, you will naturally choose your camp and opponents at the same time.
"That's good! That's good! Jeffrey will be very grateful to you." Spielberg took a long breath. The answer should be very satisfied.Jeffrey Katzenberg, who was once kicked out by Disney, has always wanted to compete with Disney in the field of animation.If... Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company wants to cooperate closely with Disney, this person will probably feel very unhappy. (to be continued~^~)
