Silicon Valley

There are many movie companies on the verge of bankruptcy in the United States. Henry only sent someone to investigate a little and got a long list.

Henry asked professionals to analyze which one has acquisition value, and then asked them to come and buy directly.

Within a few days, Henry's men completed the acquisition. The acquisition object is called UFO Film Company, which is headquartered in Hollywood, and the purchase price only cost 8 million US dollars!

After completing the acquisition of the film company, Henry immediately reorganized it, poached better talents through the headhunting company to manage the company, and changed the film company's name to Galaxy Film Company, for which Pixar Animation Studio designed the company LOGO and the title LOGO! Subsequently, Henry invested 80 million US dollars in Galaxy Films, and then invested in "Terminator 2" in the name of the company.

This investment is not only a single company of Galaxy Films, but a number of investment companies. In addition to Galaxy Films, there are Warner and Universal Films.

The reason for the introduction of the other two companies is entirely because of the need for post-release, and they can have an advantage in arranging films!

Eating alone in Hollywood is like being alone in Hollywood, unless you become a Hollywood giant yourself!

Distribution, promotion, cinema, etc., it is very difficult for a small company to handle!

Terminator is an excellent franchise after all, and the reason why other companies are reluctant to invest in Terminator 2 is because the budget is too big and the risk is too high. But now that the Galaxy Film Company is willing to make this big money, other companies are also very willing to follow the investment and obtain the distribution rights of the film. However, the film rights belong to Galaxy Films!

Galaxy Films invested $70 million, and Warner and Universal invested $150,000 each. A total of 100 million US dollars, enough for James Cameron to burn money.

Now that the funds are in place, the crew can also be formed, and "Terminator 2" will start filming a year earlier than the previous life!

Subsequently, the Galaxy Film Company announced the news that the "Terminator 2" crew was recruited to recruit actors, and the response was overwhelming!

"Terminator 2" invested hundreds of millions of dollars, which was very small at the time! Whoever can show his face in this movie is definitely a highlight in his career, that is a qualification! ! ! Besides, "Terminator 1" was not very popular back then, "Terminator 2" may be even more popular, and starring in such a movie will definitely rise in value!

Henry saw a lot of movie stars coming for interviews, and he thought, the huge investment is also an attraction! However, when Arnold Schwarzenegger asked for a salary of 10 million, Henry wanted to curse! Next door to Spicy, is it easy to make a movie? You need 10 million to open your mouth. James Cameron is not spending his own money, but he agrees. He also says that Arnold Schwarzenegger only gives him face. Ten million, or more.

Hearing this, Henry was also speechless!

"Ten million, I'll give it!!!" Henry gritted his teeth and said, feeling like he wanted to cry without tears!

Afterwards, it took seven, seven, eighty-eight actors to recruit for a month, and by the time the filming started, it was already March. Henry thought making a movie was fun at first, but after watching it on the set, it was really boring! Combined with seeing the tyrant James Cameron yelling there, the roar is simply terrifying!

"Schwarzenegger!! Can you act?! What I want is a hint of emotion in the coldness. You are as stupid as a piece of wood. I have told you several times that you can't act well!!!"

"Linda Hamilton!!! You are the same, you look like a prostitute who is standing on the street, you are just playing a strange person who is regarded as a mental patient!!!"

"..."

Damn it, James Cameron's swearing is too poisonous!

Henry just stood by and watched, and felt that he was already in a whirlpool. After this battle, he decided that he would never appear in any film made by James Cameron, not even a cameo! ! !

Is it comfortable to want to be drenched in blood by his scolding? ! !

If it wasn't for the fact that the movie he directed would be very popular, or to make himself popular, I'm afraid no one would want to make a movie under James Cameron!

The name "Tyrant on the Set" really lives up to its name! ! !

Henry said, let others be scolded by James as much as possible, and make money quietly by himself!

Life should be like that!

In addition to the special effects of the galaxy, the special effects of the film "Terminator 2" also invited Industrial Light and Magic. George Lucas gave Henry a punch as soon as they met, and said with a smile, "Henry, you are not being kind at all, and you actually dug my Industrial Light and Magic corner!"

"Hehe..." Henry smiled and said, "Where, you Industrial Light and Magic are so talented, digging a few people is like pulling a few hairs, it doesn't matter!"

Industrial Light \u0026 Magic is poached every year, and Henry is just one of them. Besides, Henry's poaching is very restrained and selective. Only a dozen or so talents who are not welcome at Industrial Light and Magic, or even excluded but have good skills! George Lucas made a huge profit by buying Pixar back then, so of course we have to find a way back this time!

"It doesn't matter? You asked me to dig a dozen of you to try!"

"Lucas, you're so embarrassed to say that the computer animation department you sold to me back then has been losing money, and I've been tricked to death by you!!! I just poached a few of you, so do you mind?" Henry asked George · Lucas poured bitterness in front of him, pretending to be pitiful!

George Lucas also knew about Pixar's situation. He only burned money, not making money. He was very glad that he sold it at the beginning, otherwise he would lose money. Lucas laughed dryly and said, "Hehe, there will be a day to make money..."

Yes, there will indeed be a day of making money! I'm afraid that time, you will regret it to death!

Henry grinned, secretly happy, and really wanted to see what the expression on George Lucas's face looked like that day.

This time I invited Galaxy Special Effects and Industrial Light and Magic to do special effects for "Terminator 2". In fact, the main force is still Industrial Light and Magic. However, Henry single-handedly facilitated this cooperation, the opportunity is rare, and it is a good opportunity to steal the special effects of the Galaxy. At the same time, bank special effects can also see what the world's top special effects companies are and how they should catch up!

After the film company was dealt with, Henry didn't have the time to focus on filming. All Henry has to do is to win more and better film resources for the film company, such as the rights to adapt novels, excellent scripts, comic adaptation rights and so on.

Occupy the ditch first and talk about it!

To shoot or not to shoot is another matter!

So Henry took action.

And the first goal is "The Lord of the Rings", "The Lord of the Rings" is Tolkien's epic fantasy novel, is recognized as the originator of modern fantasy literature! In 1968, United Arts bought the rights to The Lord of the Rings from Tolkien for $15,000. In 1976, Hollywood producer Saul Zaenz bought the adaptation rights from United Artists!

This is the news that Henry sent someone to inquire about. Therefore, the key person who wants to get the right to adapt "The Lord of the Rings" is Sol Zaenz!

Henry sent someone to contact him and said that he wanted to buy the adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings". Saul Zaenz actually called out a sky-high price of "five million dollars". You know, even the best Hollywood script can't be sold. So expensive! Before 1990, million scripts were almost as rare as dinosaur fossils! Saul Zaenz is asking for a price, of course Henry disagrees.

So Henry continued to send someone to talk to him.

After several discussions, he finally agreed to sell the adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings" to Galaxy Films for 2.5 million.

After Henry completed the acquisition of the adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings", he kept looking for his next target. However, Henry's favorite is the acquisition of Marvel Comics! I just found out after inquiring that American billionaire Ron Perelman is preparing to buy Marvel for 85 million. Damn, how can this be tolerated? ! ! (Happy New Year, I wish you all the best of luck and all your wishes come true!)
