Chapter 974 "Jurassic World" (24)

If you want to receive financing, first of all, you must exclude Ahri...

Everything Ahri acquires is to connect with Ahri’s system.

What is the Ali system?

Just listen to me!

I see that your business is very promising, so I decided to buy it. Once I buy it, it will be mine. You have to obey my command. Do you think I don’t understand? You know better than me, why did you still get acquired by me?

Actually, it's not...

What is Ahri’s investment and acquisition for?

In addition to simply occupying the market, the most important thing is to get traffic!

The reason for investing in Didi is because Didi has a large number of orders going to Alipay every day, and the reason for acquiring Youku UC is because these applications can provide a large amount of traffic to Taobao system.

He started out as an e-commerce business!

In addition, Ahri's senior leaders are generally very arrogant. In their eyes, humans are not worthy of giving them advice at all. They are the gods of the world, and they have the power to control the direction of human progress...

They really only think that the talents within their system are elites and talents.

Ahri's direction is the right direction for the world.

It gives people the impression that they are unwilling to accept it, have no awe, and do not respect each other...

For example, Ali Entertainment has not done much and cannot produce a single product. It shouts loud slogans and has long-term plans.

It only knows how to pile up data and traffic, and completely disrespects the content. It is the most delusional company among the big capital that wants to mass-produce content.

It’s hard to explain clearly what Alibaba Entertainment is doing. When we spent a lot of money to buy it, it was number one in the industry, but after three to five years, it was basically gone.

It’s not just big entertainment companies. Acquisition or investment companies such as Lazada (a Southeast Asian shopping platform) and Ele.me have all gone through a series of processes such as team integration, integration into Alibaba, and parachute executives, etc., and then they declined. !

You asked Shen Xudong to deal with them?

He certainly doesn't want to.

Then use Tengxun or Baidu...

In fact, Baidu is no less deceptive than Ali. Basically, most of the companies it acquired have gone bankrupt...

To tell a funny thing, there were rumors that Baidu was going to acquire Meituan and Toutiao...

Later, Toutiao's PR responded that we have no plans to acquire Baidu for the time being.

I have been lying around making money for too long.

Content producers have never been respected. To paraphrase Guo Degang’s words, content or service producers are Baidu’s bread and butter! Baidu has never respected it before, causing a large number of content producers to leave, and the ecosystem cannot operate.

Otherwise, Baidu knows that it is very possible to kill Zhihu, Wukong Q&A, and Tieba to kill information traffic sources like Sina...

Path dependence has been formed. Boss Li has one strategy a year...

Everyone probably still remembers Boss Li’s famous saying, “If you think Baidu is not good, you don’t have to use Baidu.”

Boss Li says 10, middle-level managers dare to say 100, and it is not uncommon for the grassroots to work up to 10,000.

Examples of Baidu’s failures include Nuomi, Baidu Waimai, Youya, Baidu Doctor, Baidu Games, Baidu Mall, Baidu Space, etc. There are too many to count. In the end, nothing has been achieved. The only surviving company, iQiyi, has not yet made a profit;

As for Fujin News…

Can talk.

…

"Jurassic World" is actually "Jurassic Park 4"...

Universal has always had doubts, mainly because the first three parts of the "Jurassic" series have been on a downward trend in North America, from 350 million for the first part, to 230 million for the second part, to 180 million for the third part. Box office receipts have been declining.

In addition, in recent years, top series blockbusters have entered the "4 era". "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", "Shrek 4", and even "The Lord of the Rings" have filmed prequels...

However, the box office and reputation of these blockbusters of the "4" generation are not as good as those of their predecessors...

"Jurassic", no matter how you calculate it, the cost will be more than 100 million US dollars...

Super A-level production in an absolute sense.

Universal has no shortage of series, including "The Fast and the Furious" and "The Bourne Supremacy", including the recent "Minions" series that have been extremely popular...

Most importantly, Universal has always wanted to restart the monster universe - Universal started with B-level movies, and has a bunch of monster copyrights, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Invisible Man, The Black Lagoon...

In recent years, attempts have been made to revive these screen images. The cost of 2004's "Van Helsing" was as high as US$160 million, and the cost of 2010's "The Wolfman" was a blockbuster-level US$150 million...

According to the original words of Universal Pictures CEO Donna Langley, "Universal Pictures has accumulated an amazing number of monster characters over the years, and we have been trying to bring these monsters back to the big screen for many years!" ’

After all, this thing belongs to inheritance!

Therefore, they are not very enthusiastic about "Jurassic World".

In the original time and space, the development of "Jurassic World" was actually Legendary Pictures' idea. Thomas Tull broke up with Warner Bros. and signed a three-year contract with Universal to jointly produce "Seventh Son: Conquer the Devil", "Germany" "The First Year of Gullah", "Jurassic World", including "Warcraft" and "The Great Wall" are all distributed globally...

Thomas Tull is a monster fan, and naturally he is also a dinosaur fan!

It was he who found Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, Spielberg's company, and proactively suggested making "Jurassic World"...

This time and space has been replaced by Shen Xudong!

He was deeply impressed by the movie "Jurassic World", mainly because he was very interested in dinosaurs!

To be honest, in terms of creating an atmosphere of disaster and horror, "Jurassic World" has no breakthrough. The method used is still the dinosaur roaring and lowering its head, with its big eyes just inches away from the humans hiding behind fragile obstacles...

Putting aside the 3D effects and CG special effects, "Jurassic World" is not as good at grasping the sense of crisis as "Jurassic Park", and the thriller scenes seem to be thrilling and terrifying...

But... when we have 3D technology, more realistic stunts, and clearer picture quality, the performance of these violent ancient beasts on the screen will naturally be more impactful!

Monster movies, these are the ones to watch!

Do you expect to gain anything valuable from the "Jurassic" series?

animal protection?

Man and nature in harmony?

Just like that stupid movie "Godzilla: King of the Monsters", it advocates the coexistence of humans and monsters for the sake of so-called environmental protection. The release of King Ghidorah indirectly awakened a large group of monsters, causing a global natural disaster and killing countless people. Then at the end, her husband and daughter were about to be killed by a monster, and she suddenly felt her conscience and went to save people...

In short, it is okay to kill others, but not my family.

Hundreds of millions of people around the world died just to make this heroine understand the truth that "family is the most important thing."

However, the third part of "Jurassic World" is almost the same as "King of the Monsters". The protagonists are all trying to outwit each other - the protagonist group goes deep into a dangerous area full of carnivorous dinosaurs, but they don't even bring a weapon... Obviously he There are firearms.

In addition, what does the protagonist group rely on to deal with dinosaurs throughout the whole process?

By touching the head.

That's right, it's literally touching the head...

Simply outrageous!

Is this a script that humans can write?

Ahem, none of this matters to Shen Xudong. He simply invested in "Jurassic World"... and did not participate in the film's production.

Universal proposed two plans. One is to invest US$100 million and take 80% of the profits, provided that Universal recovers the costs first; the second is to lock in the Asian copyright in advance for US$50 million...

Shen Xudong chose the first option!

And a sequel priority investment clause was added to the contract.

The Big Six in Hollywood and Universal are quite reliable to investors. Although they also took away the copyright of "The Fast and the Furious", they did not covet the investors' share of the money.

There is still credibility!
