my time as a director

Li Qian looked at the time, the auction was supposed to take two or three days, but he didn't have the time to sit here for two days for this little money, it would be uncomfortable to sit for a day.

"2800 million dollars!" Li Qian said.

"2850 million!" Takagi glanced at Li Qian, and continued to increase the price. He already has a special effects company, and is he aggressively entering the film and television industry? Sony's trip is determined to win.

"3000 million US dollars!" Li Qian spoke again.

At the beginning, everyone added 50 to 3000 yuan, up to [-] yuan, but Li Qian directly increased it to [-] million US dollars, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

The major entertainment companies of course know about Li Qian. Three years ago, Columbia transferred a large sum of money. This year, Warner made a fortune with the overseas box office of Jaws 6000, which grossed more than 3 million US dollars.

There are only a few Huaguo directors and actors who can make money, how could they not know each other.

But this time, Takagi, who angered Sony, glanced at Li Qian with a cold face, with a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth.

Little devil, what are you looking at!

Li Qian glared back at the old dumpy man.

Chapter 398

"$3030 million!"

Ichiro Takagi gave a new quotation with a cold face, adding 30, which was already close to the expected limit, then looked at Li Qian with a look of disdain, turned his head and said to the auction judge and the creditors present at the meeting.

"As we all know, Hollywood's special effects companies have encountered difficulties in their business operations. The biggest problem is the lack of sufficient business to maintain the company's operations. Sony invests in a large number of movies every year, and there is enough business to support the digital field, and we have special effects. The experience of the company, after the merger of Sony graphics and digital fields, will guarantee the jobs of all employees, and we will not lay off anyone!"

"And this Huaguo company."

Takagi changed his tone, and continued with disdain, "As far as I know, this company only invests in two or three movies a year, and all of them are low-cost movies, which are completely unable to support the daily operations in the digital field.

And I don't think that Huaguo Films needs such high technology in the digital field. If future operations cannot be guaranteed, it is conceivable that in two years, today's auction will be repeated again. "

This is indeed Li Qian's disadvantage. Unless the price of the bankruptcy auction is overwhelming, it cannot be ignored for the company's future operation plan.

Now a large number of unemployed special effects workers in Hollywood are already on strike, and the industry is stable, which is what judges need, so they can't help but nod.

Takagi nodded in satisfaction, and glanced at Li Qian, who was naturally hostile to Hua people, no matter who they were.

However, without even looking at him, he said to Judge Shi Shiran, "Mr. Judge, the film industry in Huaguo is developing at a rate of 30% per year. My last film's box office reached 25 billion US dollars. In the future, this The number will increase every year. After [-], there will be more and more movies with a box office of [-] million US dollars in the Huaguo film market, which is not uncommon.

This box office can support higher investment, and my film company is already preparing a blockbuster Oriental adventure with an investment of 6000 million U.S. dollars, and a sci-fi blockbuster with an investment of [-] million U.S. dollars. Most of the expenses will be spent on special effects.

This may not be enough, but Huaguo is more than just my company, in fact, my company is just a small company, established for only a year and a half."

After bragging for a while, Huayang, Bernard, and China Film were also brought in, but the point is not this, this is just an excuse to convince the judge, the important thing is money.

"3300 million!"

Li Qian offered a price similar to Sony's 3030 million, so he didn't say anything more, waiting for other bids.

Arabic numerals are used all over the world. Although Li Qian didn't say anything, everyone knows what it means.

The dignified Sony only increased the price by 30, while the small company he was talking about, Li Qian directly added 270 million, and 3300 million. Compared with 3030 million, Sony seemed even more stingy.

Ichiro Takagi was also furious. The dignified vice president of Sony Entertainment was despised by a Chinese.

At that time, Japan Benz claimed that it could buy the entire Milijian just by the east longitude, and they did so. They purchased a lot in Mirijian and bought the Empire State Building, which shocked Mirijian people.

Although Mi Lijian's father taught him a lesson, Takagi looked down on anyone except his father, let alone the hostile Chinese people.

However, just as he was about to speak, someone in the team behind him reminded him that the bottom line had already exceeded $300 million.

Although he is the vice president of Sony Entertainment, Sony Entertainment is not his after all, and the price has already exceeded the bottom line, which means that the company will not accept this price.

Of course, Sony will not deny its account, but Takagi is in trouble.

In the end, Takagi resentfully shut up.

The core special effects business and special effects studio in the digital field were acquired by Li Qian at a price of 3300 million US dollars.

After the auction was over, Zhong Lifang went to meet with the other party for the follow-up matters, and Li Qian was fine.

Li Ming also came to congratulate Li Qian, and left helplessly.

"That man is a white glove." Zhong Lifang looked at the back of Li Ming leaving, and suddenly remembered something.

"Who?" Li Qian was stunned.

"The Chinese man next to Li Dong."

"Oh, forget it, I don't know either."

Li Qian shook his head indifferently, no wonder Xiao Ma was coming, he also found it strange that Xiao Ma's current business situation is not good and there is a VAM agreement, and the money he brought was used to buy it.

With white gloves involved, it's no surprise.

The so-called white glove, literally means white means legal, through some legal means, as a middleman to make profits.

As for how to operate, Li Qian doesn't bother to make money through the digital field, anyway, it has nothing to do with him, and the goals of the two parties are different.

In the follow-up, the digital field will send a group of people to set up a branch in China. Li Qian has already acquired a medium-sized special effects company in China.

Keep the top business in North America, and split the rest back to the mainland. If you don’t want to go, you will slowly open it later.

What guarantees everyone's employment is nonsense, just find an excuse and resign.

It doesn’t take too many people to come to China, just a small part is enough. In terms of special effects at home and abroad, the main difference is not the technology, but the gap in concept and thinking.

In addition, the special effects training school of the digital field in North America, which is the industry of the parent company of the digital field, will cooperate with Li Qian in the future and slowly send some people to train.

Leaving the bankruptcy court, in the car going to the hotel, Thomas talked about the Jaws series again.

"Director Li, this series still has potential to be tapped. I think the fourth part can still be filmed."

The global box office is 6000 million, and the box office has almost recovered the cost. The remaining DVDs and other copyrights are almost pure profits, so Thomas has no choice but to not want to make a fourth film.

"We won't shoot the fourth part. In fact, there is nothing left to film. If we continue filming, the reputation of this series will be ruined." Li Qian shook his head, how else to film, there is no suspense at the end of the third part.

The second and third parts are attractive, a large part of which is the suspense left at the end of the previous part.

The first movie had the best reputation, and the sense of horror was achieved to the extreme, so the appearance of the last shark was always remembered by the audience.

Although the second part is nothing but fried rice, but the protagonist was killed by the son of the shark. Such an exciting thing also made up for it a little.

But the third part, not to mention that there is no suspense in the end, even if you want to, there is no way, the son of the shark is dead.

I can't make the wife of the shark's son in the next one, it's really a cycle, and it's over.
