Chapter 96

Chapter 96

The unexpected encounter with Lucas freed William White from the temptation. It would be even better if he could invest in Raiders of the Lost Ark smoothly, but it is a pity that Lucas is a very chicken thief. If you are interested, it proves that his script is very good.

It's not Lucas' self-deprecation, he's been through a lot with this damn script.

The current situation is obviously different. William White is willing to invest, and he doesn't even have too much entanglement with the share ratio. The part of the dispute between the two parties is peripherals and sequels.

In other words, William White is very optimistic about this movie, and he didn't say anything about the budget of 30 million dollars. Tens of millions.

It's definitely not luck that Lucas can thrive in Hollywood, where wolves look around.

What level of IP is Star Wars?

This is something that any giant wants to get. Lucas can always hold it in his hands. It is definitely not a fluke.

Lucasfilm is better than Dreamworks. If you only talk about directing ability, Spielberg is obviously better. In terms of running the company, Lucas has the upper hand. If it weren't for the old guy getting too many divorces, it would probably be at the billion level rich man.

After the boring dinner, William White chose to go home directly. If the conversation turned into Raiders of the Lost Ark, maybe he would still be interested in cheering up. Now it’s all right, and the old guy’s delaying tactics made him lose his mood.

"Hey, it's really not enough to fight against this kind of old fox." William White figured it out, and he would definitely be used.

Hollywood giants are now in a sensitive period. William White's every move will be carefully interpreted. Even if he doesn't change his attitude immediately, he will re-examine this movie.

Don't be surprised, Lao Mei believes in luck very much.

Since investing in William White's movies is hopeless, it is not bad to invest in the movies he likes.

Although a little depressed, he doesn't care too much, and he can't steal all the blockbuster movies.

If someone really does this, then it is not making money, it is a proper act of death.

Balance, balance is important.

Whenever AMD is about to go bankrupt, it is often Intel that pulls it, and the two companies are in love with each other. It could almost be made into a movie.

Looking back, William White thinks that this is deliberate. The continuous confrontation between the two companies has actually wiped out other chip companies. This may be a great scam at all.

Aren't you complaining about Intel squeezing toothpaste?

AMD appeared, usually a year and a half ahead, and then it was crushed into slag, and then naturally squeezed toothpaste.

William White is here to enjoy life, as long as no one provokes him, he will not go for trouble, money is endless, so forget the money that is too troublesome, it is really meaningless.

This incident also reminded him that he is not very suitable for negotiating if professional matters are left to professional people.

When he meets the old fox Lucas again, William White will sign an exclusive agreement with him, and he can only sign with himself under the same conditions.

He was right in his estimate. The news about the dinner party was quickly spread by interested people, and Lucas also successfully got rid of the embarrassment of the previous period.

Hollywood is a place where capitalization is very thorough. If you don't want to be restrained by investors, the best option is to find a bunch of investors.

Lucas is naturally a master at this, and the incident changed the next day. The old guy not only secured a few investments, but also basically confirmed the issuer.

For Lucas' apology call, William White was also helpless. Fortunately, he was young and shameless enough to make Lucas owe him a favor no matter what.

The old guy doesn't want to offend this guy, so favors are favors. Anyway, if you can help, you can only help, so I have to apologize.

Lucas couldn't help but sigh, is this the wave behind the Yangtze River pushing the wave ahead? The old man is still very young, and a movie that was not watched well turned over in an instant.

The old man is the producer, Spielberg is the director, and Harrison Ford starred.

This shit is the strongest combination in Hollywood, how come no one invests?

The two films of White Films are big sellers, the old man also has Star Wars, and Spielberg and Jaws are no worse than his two films.

What Lucas thought was right, but unfortunately, Hollywood is looking at short-term interests. His Star Wars is the best 13, but the production cost is also high, and the conversion rate of investment and box office is far lower than that of White Pictures.

Christmas is over, and Home Alone is still making box office hits. Although the box office data has shrunk significantly, it is far more than the movies of the same period.

According to this trend, even if it can't surpass the police academy, it is estimated that there will not be a big gap.

"Forbe, have they set up the venue yet?" William White couldn't help being entangled, he still had very important things to do.

"Master, everything has been arranged, and the meals are confirmed, there will be no problems."

There are still two days until the press conference. For William White, this busy year has just begun. In addition to this arcade, his comics also need to be accelerated.

Although he didn't doubt the ability of his subordinates, he decided to observe it himself. After all, the people in the company have no experience. It's good to find the problem now, but it will be too late.

Although there were a lot of foot pot people coming, he didn't plan to eat Japanese food, the foot pot food was too much trouble and it was not easy to get full.

It's a small six-story building, which looks a bit gimmicky, and the spray paint on the walls is all cartoon images from the game.

It is still in its infancy, and he has no ability to build a headquarters building. Anyway, the land in the United States is cheap, and there is no possibility of skyrocketing.

When Laomei Real Estate was at its craziest, it was far inferior to Footbath and Tianchao.

You have to know that their government and banks encourage real estate speculation, so it didn't increase much.

"David, tell them to turn on the ventilation, there is still some smell." Walking into the company hall, William White immediately smelled some weird smell. His body is more sensitive now, and what he dislikes the most is the smell of these chemicals.

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away."

"Go and get some air freshener. You can spray it today, but you can't spray it when it officially starts in two days."

The subordinates were also helpless, they didn't think there was any smell, but since the boss said something, they had to do as they said.

After walking around the company, nothing amiss was found, and William White left surrounded by a group of bodyguards.

It's a new year, and Los Angeles doesn't seem to be ready yet, with people on the streets getting a little sluggish.

Including White Films, all crews have not yet started work, and William White can't help it. This is the case with Americans. Except for the elite, everyone else prefers vacations.

Lucas has already started preparing the crew, and with enough money, other things will be easy. His movements are faster than William White.
