Chapter 163: Penguin Pictures' Acquisition Again


Li He and Tang Qianqian spent a good night together, but Cheng Zhiwen, the president of Penguin Pictures, had some insomnia and came to the study alone to sit empty."

The Martian" was a box office hit, but while he was happy, he was a little worried, worried about Li He and his dream factory.Half of Penguin Pictures' current performance is supported by Li He, and if Li He and DreamWorks are lost, Penguin Pictures will immediately collapse by half.But now Li He has become a sweetheart, and countless film companies and capital are staring at him, digging corners anytime and anywhere.Don't look at him, Cheng Zhiwen usually calls Li He brothers, but when it comes to his own vital interests, that relationship is almost nothing.Perhaps the only advantage of Penguin Pictures is that it will give Li He a lot of freedom, but now this advantage is nothing.After all, Li Hedu is already a 10 billion director, who will interfere in how he wants to shoot?

Not only will they not interfere, but they will also find ways to support him and make him happy."

No, Penguin Pictures can't lose Li He......"

Cheng Zhiwen made up his mind, and immediately called his assistant and asked him to book tickets.Cheng Zhiwen wanted to go to the headquarters to talk to Ma Yongxin and seek the support of the group.On the other side, Wang Changtian, the helmsman of Light Pictures: "Light Pictures can't lose Li He......"

Then Wang Changtian called the secretary and announced the convening of the board of directors to seek the support of the board of directors.Some other powerful companies have some ideas, and several have already begun to take action, with the aim of poaching Li He into their subsidiaries.Although Li He uses closed shooting, some people with great powers can still come to the door, such as the Mediterranean man in front of Li He."

Director Li He, I guarantee that our company has the best conditions in the industry, and we have a lot of young actresses......"

Mediterranean gushed endlessly, not noticing Tang Qianqian's murderous gaze."

Okay, I see, thank you for your kindness, Mr.

Zheng, but at the moment I have a good time working with Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures, and I won't consider these for the time being."

Li He politely declined.Mediterranean was a little disappointed, but he still kept the basics: "Okay, if Director Li He changes his mind, please contact me." ”Mediterranean said goodbye and left, but he didn't say that he would get angry and threaten Li He, if you don't join us, you will destroy you and the like, they are all adults, and they will not be so naïve.So far, although there is no conflict of interest and friction with Penguin Light, the overall cooperation is still very pleasant, and Li He has no idea of moving the nest.In the past few days, I have been meeting people from other companies frequently, just to put pressure on Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures to get better conditions for myself."

Humph!

This bald, what does it mean that there are many beautiful actresses?

Don't look at me next to me. ”Tang Qianqian was furious.Li He was a little funny, but he hurriedly reassured: "Okay, okay, everyone has been rejected by me, calm down." ”"Humph!

I'm so angry......"

Tang Qianqian was still very angry.It's no wonder that she is so angry, it's really that in the past few days, major companies have shown their own powers, and the conditions are similar to everyone, so some people use their crooked brains and take some side roads.Li He didn't even have any interest in talking about these things, and directly refused to send them off, but there were still some things that really made Tang Qianqian angry.Cheng Zhiwen flew to Shencheng early in the morning, and finally met Ma Yongxin, the helmsman of the Penguin Group, at noon."

Oops!

You Xiao Cheng is a rare guest!

I don't usually see you hanging out here in the group company. ”Ma Yongxin joked.Cheng Zhiwen smiled bitterly: "Mr.

Ma!

I can come to the head office for support. ”As soon as it came to work, Ma Yongxin became serious: "Is it about the acquisition of DreamWorks Studio?"

”Seeing that Cheng Zhiwen nodded and said yes, Ma Yongxin continued: "I heard that Director Li He has been unwilling to agree before, and he has been a little loose recently, and he has met several companies one after another. ”"Yes, that's right, the light pictures are also discussing countermeasures, and now I'm afraid that Director Li He will fall to the light, so the problem will be a bit serious."

Cheng Zhiwen said.Ma Yongxin sat in his seat and pondered for a while and said, "What do you think?"

”"I've thought about this idea for a long time, but Penguin Pictures has not yet been listed and independent, and it is still a wholly-owned subsidiary of Penguin Group, and if there is no share, it will not be able to convince Li He."

Cheng Zhiwen said.The acquisition of DreamWorks is not only the meaning of Cheng Zhiwen, but also the plan of Penguin Group, Li He and DreamWorks are really the best quality resources, and Penguin Pictures wants to hold them in their hands.No one knows what Ma Yongxin and Li He talked about, only that after Cheng Zhiwen returned to the capital, he announced that Penguin Pictures was about to seek listing.On the set of "Batman", Lin Feng, a well-known action director in the circle, was explaining the action routines during the filming for a while.It turns out that Nolan's version of Batman's action scenes are a mess, and if it sounds good, it is simple and rude, and if it doesn't sound good, it is a child fight.Although Chinese movies may not be as powerful as Hollywood, they are still strong in action design.After Lin Feng received the job, he immediately started research with his team and designed a suitable action routine.Li He requires that the action routines must be simple and direct, not bells and whistles, and should be ornamental.After working hard and consulting the dragon and tiger martial artists on Hong Kong Island, Lin Feng finally completed his goal.Of course, the leading actor Chen Kun will not go into battle in person, after all, Batman wears a mask throughout the whole process, and he doesn't need to complete the action scene himself, in fact, the action scene is completed by two martial artists who are about the same height and weight as Chen Kun.It's also very sad to think about it, Chen Kun's salary for taking over the role of Batman is 15 million RB, while Wu Xing is more than 6,000 a month, and the two stand-ins are more than 8,000 a month.Although the salary is already considered a high salary in the martial arts, it is simply incomparable with Chen Kun.Of course, Chen Kun's salary of 15 million is mainly because he is worth this price, and when he took over the filming of "Looking for the Dragon", his set was 20 million.The investment in "Looking for the Dragon" is 180 million RMB, which is a relatively large investment, but it can't be compared with the investment in "Batman: Time to Go to War"."

Batman: Time to War" has a total investment of 125 million US dollars, equivalent to nearly 900 million RMB, which means that after the release of "Batman", it will achieve a box office of at least 2.7 billion to recover the cost.You must know that "The Martian" has just exceeded 2.7 billion box office, and if the Chinese version of Batman is not liked by the audience, resulting in a box office failure, those competitors will definitely not be merciful.And I don't know how overseas audiences feel about the Chinese version of Batman, if they don't like it, they can only rely on the domestic market, and Li He plans to touch "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron".This shooting is the most bottomless in Li He's heart, since the shooting, Li He has been insomnia for many nights, and the pressure is too great.After another sleepless night, Cheng Zhiwen came to the door and discussed a major matter with Li He......

I'm Director Lee
