Liu Liu went to great lengths to give birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
But after giving birth, Lin Jianqiu had to return to the company to continue working.
A lot of things have happened in this year, but the development of New World is still rapid.
First, in the middle of the year, a super-large typhoon of level 17 landed in Hujian, and Xia City also suffered a huge impact.
The New World's science fiction park naturally suffered a huge impact.
But for the science fiction park, the impact is relatively small.
First of all, the trees on the island were not transplanted there, but were originally grown here and have well-developed root systems.
In addition, the island is relatively large, and the trees on the outside weaken the wind entering the interior, so the plants inside are preserved.
The already built Jurassic Park was not greatly affected.
After all, the buildings are mainly made of cement.
However, the New Paradise where the crew of "The Wandering Earth" is located has suffered a lot.
Various large glass, various sci-fi venues, and various settings suffered a huge impact.
But there is also good news. For example, the scenes in the movie involving huge waves were originally planned to be special effects, but now they can be shot directly, and with the addition of post-production, the overall texture has greatly improved.
But many facilities also had major problems.
The filming period of "The Wandering Earth" has exceeded half a year. If there is any further delay, the filming will have to be postponed to the summer of the following year.
There is still the final post-production and technical challenges, so it may not be released until the Chinese New Year next year.
But at this time, Yuan Lei, the director of Shanghai TV, came to the door.
Said they could fix it.
All damaged facilities in the New World Science Fiction Park were repaired in a short period of time.
Han Zhou then realized that Yuan Lei's son-in-law had already entered the upstream industry of the theme park and acquired a large supplier in the United States.
With domestic companies able to provide materials, repairs became faster, and the construction of the theme park, the venues needed for filming, and various sci-fi facilities also became faster.
New World has reached in-depth cooperation with them.
Of course, although their company is large, it only takes up one-fifth of New World's orders in one go.
For this emergency, they took out almost all the things they had stockpiled.
But this time, Han Zhou once again looked up to Yuan Lei and his son-in-law.
The New World theme park will not stop there. They have now acquired a major supplier from the United States and have transformed themselves into the largest supplier of theme park facilities in China.
The future will definitely keep up.
However, Han Zhou did not lose out either, as he thought that it was a good thing for him to keep the money within the family. He reminded Zhang Jiuqun and others that if they had any spare money, they could buy the company's stocks.
After the summer typhoon, filming entered high-speed mode again.
However, the shooting of this huge commercial film is still quite long.
The filming of "Jurassic Park 2" was also very long.
It is expected that "Jurassic Park 2" will be released in the summer of next year.
"The Wandering Earth" will be released during next year's Spring Festival.
In this year's box office market, New World Group companies have also been busy.
The Lord of the Rings officially hits theaters in the summer.
After the release of The Lord of the Rings, it became a global hit!
First of all, the "Twilight" series has sparked a craze among young people for watching fantasy-themed movies.
Compared with "Twilight", "The Lord of the Rings" is a big commercial film with huge investment, and the scale is different.
So European and American audiences really like this.
The Lord of the Rings dominated the market almost all summer.
The box office reached 940 million US dollars.
Just shy of a billion.
This is far inferior to "Jurassic Park", but it is also among the top 100 films in world film history!
You have to know that the configuration of The Lord of the Rings is not a little bit worse than that of Jurassic Park.
And The Lord of the Rings has the ability to cultivate die-hard fans, so future series will become more and more profitable.
Tianle, the second company of the New World Group, is aggressive and presents itself on the world stage.
But this year's dispute is not over.
In early December, "Fast & Furious" is online!
As early as four years ago, Universal China and Universal cooperated to start the production of a series of films.
In the beginning, Universal China provided Chinese actors, and allowed them to participate in its own films, making various films with Chinese elements.
I can’t say how much profit these movies made, but they all made money.
Thanks to this series of collaborations, Universal China also opened a branch in the United States and began to connect with European and American theaters through Universal's connections.
Universal was not worried about Universal China at all at that time.
Because in their impression, Universal China is just a music company.
How easy is it for a music company to transform into a film company?
Where does the technology come from? Where does the personnel come from?
Without any experience in commercial blockbusters, how many years will it take for Universal China to make its own commercial films?
How many years will it take to make a commercial blockbuster?
How many more years will it take to make a truly profitable commercial blockbuster?
However, they completely underestimated the speed at which the Chinese film market would explode.
When the Chinese film market exploded, Tianle and New World were confronting the Beijing circle in recent years.
Global China has been developing.
Universal China and Mailang are of the same origin and jointly operate Anlan. How much money have they made in the past few years?
All this money was invested in the film industry.
Before the collapse of the Beijing circle, there was a fierce fight between the gods, and the Shanghai circle and the Northwest circle were already dead.
A large number of companies can no longer bear it.
In the past, if you were good at one of the following: acting, directing, or production skills, your company would be able to thrive.
Now the tide is rising and all boats are lifted. If we do not advance, we will retreat. If we cannot achieve great development, it will be equivalent to regressing.
Many companies were sold off when they couldn't survive.
Global China took over a large number of personnel and technology.
Then, the outstanding talents selected by Universal China worked with New World to make several films and learn from their experience.
Last year, Universal China began to really start making commercial blockbusters, and the first one was "Fast and Furious"!
When the film project was approved, Universal didn't think there was any problem.
But then, problems gradually emerged.
The first was that Universal China and Mailang began to merge.
The couple is too old to have any other children, so they only have one heir.
After making money in recent years, the two began to repurchase shares one after another and began to show their ambitions.
Many years ago, both of them were the second largest shareholders of both companies.
Now he has become the first shareholder and then the absolute majority shareholder.
Anyone with eyes can tell what they are going to do.
If you follow them, you will have to give up your management rights over the company. If you don’t, you will be kicked out.
Many people choose to ask for money. After all, only a fool would choose to lose both his money and his life.
Subsequently, the two companies did not merge as expected.
Instead, a company called An Group was established.
An Group began to hold shares in the two companies.
The two companies began to operate independently in terms of management and ownership, which also marked the beginning of the development of the two companies into global groups.
By the time Universal smelled something was wrong it was too late.
In the past few years, Universal China has made huge concessions to Universal, and has learned everything it needs to learn to enter Hollywood, and has also established the necessary network of relationships.
In December, "The Fast and the Furious" will face off against a Universal movie called "The Fast and the Furious".
Universal China was not at all outdone, taking in nearly 400 million US dollars at the global box office.
If it weren't for "Rush Hour" coming out to compete, the box office would probably be over 600 million.
This battle gave Global a bad feeling.
Many years ago, there was a company in China that obtained the authorization of a German home appliance company. This company became a subsidiary, then became independent, and then developed. It took only ten years to acquire the former parent company.
It seems that Universal China is replicating this behavior.
To put it bluntly, it means "your parent company's products are too bad, which affects my brand effect. I want to acquire you."
However, a box office of 400 million is still far from 1 billion.
Therefore, after Universal China emerged, its voice was far less than that of Tianle.
The current structure of the world film industry has become the original structure of five American film companies, four large and one small, plus three companies of Chinese descent, two large and one small.
These four and one small are also related to Tianle and Universal.
Yi Sheng is on the brink of life and death, with only one last movie to struggle.
He launched his own work this year.
The first thing is to prepare for release in the summer.
As a result, "The Lord of the Rings" took the world by storm, and they simply chose to withdraw and postpone the release date.
This incident is too embarrassing for the big movie companies.
Be afraid before the battle.
They set their sights on the second period, which was the Christmas period.
However, the fierce competition between "The Fast and the Furious" and "The Rush Hour" affected Yi Sheng again.
Yi Sheng believes that these two movies have been released for 25 days and it is already Christmas, so it should not have much impact.
As a result, as soon as their movies were released, Universal China and Universal began to invest heavily in publicity and promotion.
Upgrade the battle again.
Yisheng has no money to follow.
So, the last chance for error was to die suddenly on the spot.
This is not Yisheng’s biggest dilemma.
As early as seven years ago, Penguin Group became the world's largest gaming company.
After the cooperation between Penguin and New World, the business and advantages of Penguin Games segment expanded rapidly.
And New World has swept the gaming field with "Honghuang".
The global game market is so small, and Penguin and New World are expanding towards fatness. Who is being harmed?
Yi Sheng.
Yisheng was losing ground in every field in which he was good at.
The companies under the New World Group are stirring up trouble in the global entertainment market, but their impact on the other four major companies does not seem to be significant.
But Yi Sheng was about to die suddenly.
It seems that New World is aiming to kick Yisheng out and join the ranks of the top five film companies.
This style of painting is very deceptive.
For the big movie companies, this does not seem unacceptable.
Originally, many years ago, Yi Sheng had no place in the ranks of major film companies.
Didn’t Yisheng rise to prominence by relying on the money it earned during the economic boom in the Sakura Country and buying various IPs in Hollywood?
Now that Yisheng is finished, many companies are discussing buying back their former IPs.
This is how the world's capital market works. You broke my leg, and I had no choice but to give it to you in order to survive.
Now the situation has changed, and it's my turn to take your legs.
But Yi Sheng was unwilling to give up.
Compared with the game market, the film market is larger and easier to produce results.
What kind of market is the gaming market?
Any small company can become instantly famous with a hit game.
This market is extremely volatile.
The film market is different.
How much effort does it take to get into the ranks of a major film company? What are the advantages of getting in?
Yisheng was absolutely unwilling to quit.
At this point, Yisheng has only two choices.
Abandon the entire gaming market and sell all games.
Abandon the entire film market and sell all IPs.
Yisheng reached the moment of choosing between two happiness options.
And the buyers...are all New World!
At the Sakura Country headquarters of Yisheng Group, Han Zhou, who has rarely appeared in public, was wearing sunglasses.
The president of Yisheng Group, Saburo Tanaka, lowered his head and was thinking.
Han Zhou looked at the neon lights outside the window.
It’s worthy of being called Neon.
"Mr. Tianjian, is this price appropriate?"
Saburo Tanaka knew that he seemed to have no choice but to accept it.
However, Saburo Tanaka was unwilling to accept it.
This is the birthplace of Yisheng and the ancestral land of Yisheng.
To put it simply, it is Yi Sheng’s ancestral temple and tomb.
Although this person wanted to buy Yi Sheng's land, Yi Sheng's ancestral tomb happened to be on this piece of land.
Han Zhou looked out the window: "It's not easy for Yi Sheng to walk from Sakura Country to the world."
"Do you want to sell the film industry and return to Sakura Country?"
Saburo Tanaka looked painful.
Indeed, he was very reluctant.
It seems that selling the gaming business is the only option.
Han Zhou is not in a hurry. Han Zhou is waiting.
The Land of Sakura is completely different from all the mainstream countries with relatively strong economic development in the world.
People from other countries around the world like to play online games and e-sports, but people in Japan only have a special liking for stand-alone games.
People from other countries in the world prefer live-action movies, while people in Japan prefer anime.
The New World doesn’t have enough time to create these works to conquer the Land of Sakura.
New World has the money to directly take over all game players and anime fans from Yisheng.
Originally, New World's comics and anime have been entering the Sakura Country in a strong way in recent years.
Yisheng has shrunk in this small field.
If New World takes over Yisheng's gaming and animation fields, it will basically be the only dominant player in the Sakura Country.
In the future, what the children of Sakura Country watch will be decided by the New World.
What games the young people of Sakura Country play in the future will be decided by the New World.
This deal means something very different to the New World.
Han Zhou finished looking at the neon night scene and turned around: "Or, you can sell the movie business to me?"
Han Zhou doesn't need those junk IPs.
However, these IPs have been operated by major companies for many years, and some are even 40, 50, 70 or 80 years old.
At the beginning, all of them were acquired bit by bit by the expanding Yisheng.
Many major American film companies are now restarting their film plans.
Getting these copyrights from Yisheng is of no use to New World, and New World will not film them.
But it can be ensured that major film companies cannot film them.
If it remains in Yisheng's hands, they may still be able to cooperate.
From a development perspective, it would be more meaningful for New World to acquire Yisheng’s film business.
However, buying Yisheng's gaming business makes more sense for China.
It is equally beneficial to do either of the two things.
Tian Jian Saburo was in great pain, but he finally made a decision: "Han Sang! Yisheng's game business will be sold to New World in its entirety."
"We've agreed on a price, 7.3 billion US dollars."
What Han Zhou wants to buy is not Yisheng’s game patents, nor their IP, but the business of all the games currently running and Yisheng’s personnel team structure.
Their game patents are worth US$1.8 billion and their IP is worth US$3.5 billion.
Penguin wants to buy this part.
What New World wanted was worth 1.9 billion, and the rest was taken by Penguin, who offered about 5.4 billion.
After three years of operation, the network was finally closed. Han Zhou laughed and said, "Mr. Tian Jian, you made the wisest choice."
“I hope you will have great development in the film industry in the future.”
The legal departments on both sides have a lot of work to do, but the matter has been settled.
After finishing the work, Saburo Tanaka immediately contacted Disney.
When Disney was in trouble, it sold the three most famous IPs in the Big Hero series to Yisheng.
Now Disney is rebooting the series and has been in talks with Yi Sheng.
What they mean is to borrow IP, and how much money is borrowed each time.
But Yisheng wants a mixed investment.
The problem is that Yisheng has no money left.
The negotiations have been stuck for a long time. This time, Yisheng has money and is about to restart them.
As long as Disney's series is successful, Yisheng can make independent movies based on its own hero IP and revive the company.
This is why Yisheng bought so many IPs in the first place.
However, the market is no longer what it was back then.
…
"Have you heard that the New World movie "Alone on the Moon" is about to be released!"
"Ah? Didn't New World say that it was fully committed to filming The Wandering Earth and Jurassic Park 2?"
"You don't understand this. 'Lone Moon' is also a space science fiction film, but it's a comedy. It was filmed during the break in the filming of 'The Wandering Earth' using the materials and resources from that film."
"I see. Same crew, same equipment, same venue. Just a spoof, right?"
"clever."
It seems that in the previous life, when filming "The Wandering Earth 2", the crew shared a lot of props with "Lone Moon".
For example, the moon scenes and the return capsule in The Wandering Earth 2 were shot using the Solitary Moon.
After all, it's a science fiction Daji.
When New World makes its own, these things become multi-purpose.
After all, in addition to the lunar scenes and return capsules, the actual lunar bases, underground bases, and various scenes can be used universally.
After all, it will be used as a theme park facility in the future, so the scene production cannot be simple and must be built with high configuration.
Use it once and then forget about it?
Therefore, when "The Wandering Earth" was being filmed, Han Zhou asked Zhang Jiuquan to form a team to film "The Lone Moon".
Although both are science fiction films, the special effects in "Lone Moon" are not so sophisticated or rigorous, and the main focus is on comedy.
Although Zhang Jiuquan has never made a science fiction film, he does not have the unique sensitivity of a science fiction film director.
But he just treated it as a comedy and left it at that.
If he didn't understand something, he could just ask Wu Hengyong directly.
…
The end of the year is approaching, and the quality of movies in this year's Spring Festival has dropped significantly.
Now that New World, Tianle and Universal China have all started to look at the global market, it would be impolite to focus on the Spring Festival period.
After all, the global box office market in summer and winter is larger than that in early spring.
This year's Spring Festival, the only powerful movie seems to be "Lone Moon".
If we have to find a rival for him, it would be "Boonie Bears: Jedi Heroes".
Guess what? It’s also a New World movie!
Boonie Bears has now been released for seven seasons and has made a lot of money in the animation industry.
In the past, New World was small in size, and it was never the turn for the Boonie Bears IP to come to the fore.
Liu Tiantan now has a lot of people under his command, so he directly assigned this project to his subordinates.
Apart from anything else, the special effects of the New World Animation Department are guaranteed.
Both films are positioned as family-friendly movies and are Lunar New Year films.
The rest of the movies, are barely worth mentioning.
This Spring Festival is particularly lonely.
How could other film companies have the time to compete with New World?
Their own heads exploded!
When celebrities in the entertainment industry sign contracts, they usually sign until the end of the year.
Starting last year, representative stars from major companies began to refuse to renew their contracts on a large scale.
A year later, he joined one of the five major companies of New World Group.
In the past year, major companies have wanted to complete the contract renewal of other stars.
What about improving treatment, what about increasing resources, what about threats.
It's useless.
It’s the end of another year, and a large number of celebrity contracts are expiring.
Once capital is formed, there is no such thing as an opponent.
They are like snow, and the New World companies are rolling on the snow. They don’t have to do anything, and the snowball is getting bigger and bigger!
This Spring Festival period is lonely.
But the audience is not alone.
They don’t know the secrets behind it, but just looking at the film market, it’s quite lively.
If compared with two or three years ago, it seems a little worse.
But compared with five or eight years ago, it is far more!
The comedy film "Alone on the Moon" began to sweep the box office.
In fact, this movie is already very good, but the director of the original version does not have a sci-fi mindset and has many flaws.
Han Zhou revised the script and gave it to Zhang Jiuquan to shoot.
Zhang Jiuquan often dragged Wu Hengyong to discuss, so there were no loopholes in the filming.
The laughter is still there, but there are fewer loopholes, and the quality is higher than the original version.
The one that swept the box office market is normal.
And movie fans are looking forward to it more and more.
"It stands to reason that Lone Moon is a comedy film made in a short period of time using scenes from The Wandering Earth, right?"
"No, Lone Moon is equal to the scraps of The Wandering Earth. If they are both so good-looking, how good is The Wandering Earth?!"
In essence, "Lone Moon" follows the routine of a Hollywood blockbuster, which is very complete and incorporates some of China's unique sacrificial ideas.
Audiences who are used to watching Hollywood blockbusters can actually easily accept this movie.
But everyone is thinking about one issue.
If the dishes made with leftover ingredients are so bad, then the main dish must be great, right?
Looking forward to it more and more!!!
The good news is, it’s finished.
The bad news is that you have to wait a year before it can be aired. You can only watch "Jurassic Park 2" in the summer at best, and "The Wandering Earth" during the Chinese New Year next year!
