Chapter 238 God Piece
After having a certain idea, Chen Tian put his attention back on the screen.
I watched "Shrek 2" again, but I had a different viewing. When Chen Tian used to watch it, he was on demand on computers and TVs, which was completely different from watching it in the theater now.
Looking at the superb computer effects displayed on the screen, Chen Tian sighed at the technical level of DreamWorks animation.
In the hall, Chen Tian had the idea of acquiring the animation technology department. Although the animation department of DreamWorks is expensive, it is creative and technical, and has many animation ideas that Chen Tian knew would be popular.
While Blue Sky Studios’ acquisition price may be much lower than DreamWorks Animation, the team is too small and the production cycle is obviously not suitable.
Not to mention that Blue Sky Studio is currently in the cooperation period with Fox, and there are still three years before the cooperation expires.
Pixar Animation is undoubtedly the most capable company among Hollywood animated films, and the comprehensive level of computer technology is also the highest, but the market value is too high.
If you want to buy Pixar animation from Steve Jobs, unless Chen Tian throws all the YouTube and Facebook shares in his hands to Jobs and then takes out 30 to 4 billion.
Although the market value of Facebook and YouTube is not as high as in the future, its growth rate is much higher than in the future.
Less than half a year since its birth, Facebook's market value has been estimated to reach US$2 billion. Now Facebook's social functions have been developed, and those small games that seem simple have conquered many people.
Moreover, the global market is opening one by one, and the number of registered users has exceeded 100 million worldwide early.
YouTube was born a lot later, but its market value has also risen very quickly, and its market value is now estimated to be $500 million.
Pixar animation, Chen Tian chose to give up without thinking, and finally turned his attention to DreamWorks Animation.
700 million, which is Chen Tian’s estimated price. The last time he acquired Miramax, Chen Tian raised a lot of funds and borrowed money from Oracle using shares mortgage.
Want to acquire DreamWorks. Seventy-million is not a small amount.
When the film was finished and after he parted with Jenny Frence, Chen Tian and David Ellison did not leave directly.
"Justin, I think we can really make animated movies and look at the audience!" David Ellison, who walked towards the Cinema Café, looked at the fans who kept entering the cinema, turned his head and said to Chen Tian.
“That’s what I think we can make. But the funding is currently lacking and I want to acquire DreamWorks animation division, and they’ve been in trouble lately.
I think this is a good opportunity, and they currently have no cooperative companies, so there are no other issues that need to be worried about, but where does the funds come from?
Accept venture capital? What do you think?”
"Forget it. Justin, the whole world knows that your shares will become more and more valuable in the future. I guarantee that those guys on Wall Street will definitely want to own them."
What David Ellison said is not an exaggeration at all. Since the founding of the website, it has been increasingly favored by investors.
A number of top venture capital companies such as Red Shirt, SoftBank, IDG have contacted Chen Tian, and venture capital under Goldman Sachs Group on Wall Street and Goldman Sachs Bank have also contacted Chen Tian Mark Zuckerberg.
But Chen Tian has temporarily politely rejected it, but now he wants to take out the 500 million yuan and this is the solution that Chen Tian can think of.
Chen Tian has enough confidence in the influx of funds from venture capital companies. He believes that as long as he speaks, those venture capital companies will be happy to give US dollars.
"Justin, I should be able to give out $200 million at most, and I can't do anything more.
However, I personally suggest that if I can't accept it, I won't accept it. We can negotiate with DreamWorks first. This is a full negotiation process. I did not evaluate the DreamWorks animation department.
I will do this as soon as possible and let us take the initiative as much as possible.
It really doesn't work, Justin I have a suggestion. That's to get Facebook on the market!"
Chen Tian was stunned. He didn't consider the word listing at all.
You should know that Facebook has only been established for more than half a year. If it is really proposed to go public, it will take almost half a year to prepare for the final listing as soon as possible.
This time is very embarrassing, but even if it can be launched as soon as possible, Chen Tian doesn't plan to do this.
"Wait and see first, let's value it first and then negotiate with them. We can have several movies that are about to be released, and the DVD and Blu-ray of "Kill Bill" will be launched.
I estimate that the company will still be able to provide 100 million funds when the negotiations are successful. If you can provide 200 million, I will be able to collect the funds by working harder than 100 million US dollars.
DreamWorks animation department will definitely not exceed 760 million, which should be about the same. In that case, we should be able to take the initiative. At worst, I can give them Facebook or YouTube shares."
"Oh, your words will be very touching. If a reporter exposed them now, many people will definitely come to you."
"I hope so, but I always feel that two men will misunderstand when watching movies and drinking coffee together. Of course, I don't discriminate against homosexuality." Chen Tian didn't want to cause unnecessary disputes because of his jokes.
Once you encounter this sensitive topic, you will be done, so Chen Tian pays special attention to issues such as racial discrimination, homosexuality, and men and women's rights on all occasions.
"A cup of mocha, a cup of cappuccino without sugar to this gentleman, thank you!" David Ellison said with a smile at the beautiful waitress.
"Okay, please wait!" The beautiful waitress was dressed very individually, and the maid outfit made David Ellison's eyes unable to move away.
It has to be said that this cafe has attracted many men to go there. It is not uncommon for a person alone or even two men to be together. This is true in many booths, which makes Chen Tian feel a little better.
"David, I'm going to find a group of actors, a group of actors who can fight in the near future, and then make a pure action movie.
I want a military helicopter, can you help me with it?"
"You are going to make a new film or an action film. Isn't it "Assassin League"?" David Ellison asked in surprise.
"No, it's not "Assassin's League" but a pure action movie. I will use 99% of the actors, or more accurately, the yellow people.
I want a military helicopter, of course I wouldn't think it would be too many if you could get me a lot."
Chen Tian’s action film, which is called "Rail" in later generations, is intended to draw on "The Raid", which is called "The Legend of the Movie", but it is only a reference to the thoughts and some plots, and there will be considerable changes in the general content.
Especially the action scenes, Chen Tian planned to leave them to Zhen Zidan to handle them completely. Chen Tian was still very satisfied with the action scenes he showed in Chinese films.
On this basis, Chen Tian will use "Rail" to judge and put forward some action scenes, and then make action arrangement adjustments.
Chen Tian is preparing to set the background in the Golden Triangle and then build a building similar to the Raid.
"The plane is fine, I'll handle it..." David Ellison suddenly stopped and looked at the entrance of the cafe.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Tian said and turned his head, his slender legs imprinted into his eyes.
The woman was wearing flat shoes, but Chen Tian seemed to be taller than him.
With a perfect figure, no wonder David Ellison, a person who has seen countless beauties, would look at attention. At this moment, David Ellison stood up.
PS: It was very hard. At 11:20, the light suddenly flashed, and then it went on strike. I opened the meter lock with my ear spoon, but it was useless to push the switch on. I guess the fuse was broken and I had to go to work tomorrow. It was hard!
