I Am A Trilionaire - Chapter 39

There are many film companies that are close to bankruptcy in the United States. Henry just sent someone to investigate a little and get a long list.

Henry asked professionals in his company to analyze which companies had the acquisition value, and then asked them to buy them directly.

Within days, Henry’s men completed the acquisition. The target of the acquisition is called the UFO Film Company, which is headquartered in Hollywood, and the purchase price is only 8 million US dollars!

After completing the acquisition of a film company, Henry immediately reorganized and recruited better talent through a headhunting company to manage the company. At the same time, the film company changed its name to Galaxy Film Company, and Pixar Animation Studios designed the LOGO for the company! Subsequently, Henry injected 80 million US dollars into the Galaxy Film Company, and then invested in “Terminator 2” on behalf of the company.

The investment this time is not only for the Galaxy Film Company, but a number of investments besides the Galaxy Film Company, there are Warner and Universal Studios.

The reason for allowing the other two companies to invest was due to the need for a later release, which could have an advantage in film settings!

Making his own fortune in Hollywood is like eating hardwood, unless he has become a Hollywood giant!

Distribution, promotion, theater, etc., Small companies have a hard time dealing with it!

“Terminator” is an excellent film series, and the reason other companies are reluctant to invest in “Terminator 2” is that the budget is too big and the risks are too great. But now that the Galaxy Film Company is willing to make this big break, other companies are also very willing to follow suit and get the distribution rights to the film. However, the film copyright belongs to the Galaxy Film Company!

Galaxy Films invested US $ 70 million, Warner and Universal invested US $ 15 million each. A total of 100 million US dollars is sufficient to fund the needs of filming by James Cameron.

Now that funds are available and a crew can be formed, “Terminator 2” will start shooting a year earlier than its previous life!

Subsequently, the Galaxy Film Company announced news of the formation of a crew of “Terminator 2” to recruit actors, and the results were amazing!

“Terminator 2” invested hundreds of millions of dollars, which was huge at that! If anyone can show his face in this film, it will definitely be the highlight of his career, it’s kind of a qualification! ! ! After all, “Terminator 1” is cool, “Terminator 2” is probably even cooler, starring in a movie like that, his popularity will definitely go up!

Henry saw many movie stars come in for interviews, and thought that his big investment was an attraction too! However, when Arnold Schwarzenegger asked for a salary of 10 million, Henry wanted to scold him! Bro, is it easy to make a film? You can simply ask 10 million for his salary. James Cameron didn’t dare to spend his own money. James even agreed, and told Arnold Schwarzenegger whatever would be given.

Hearing this, Henry also fell silent!

“Ten million, I’ll give it !!!” Henry gritted his teeth, and he felt like crying without tears!

Then it took a month to recruit seven or eight actors. When filming started, it was already March. Henry thought filming was fun at first, but watching it on set was really boring! Besides, seeing the tyrant James Cameron screaming there, the roar was terrifying!

“Schwarzenegger! Do you know how to act ?! All I want is a touch of cold emotions, you fool like a madman, I have said a few times over and over !!!”

“Linda Hamilton !!! The same thing happened to you. You look like a seducer standing in the street. You are just acting as a mentally ill person with strange words and deeds !!!”

“…”

Damn, James Cameron’s words are too poisonous!

Henry just stood to the side and watched, somehow he felt like he was in a whirlpool. After seeing this battle, she decided that she would never star in any film that James Cameron made! ! !

Do you want to act comfortably but with distressed ears and minds from receiving James’ poisonous words? ! !

If it weren’t for the fact that the films he directed would be wildly popular, or to make himself popular, no one would want to make films under James Cameron’s direction!

The name “Tyrant” really lives up to its name! ! !

Henry thought, let other people be scolded by James and he just makes money quietly!

Life should be like that!

The special effects from the “Terminator 2” movie, apart from the addition of the Galaxy special effects, also invited Industrial Light and Magic. George gently punched Henry as soon as he met, and smiled: “Henry, you are so bad, you really got my Industrial Light and Magic!”

“Haha …” Henry said with a smile, “Blame yourself for having a large amount of talent in industrial light and magic, acquiring multiple people is like pulling out a few hairs, no problem!”

“No problem? Let me try to take your employees!”

“Lucas, you know that the computer animation department you sold me at that time spent a lot of money, and I was cheated to death by you !!! I’ll get a few more from you, do you mind?” Henry said to George bitterly and then pretended to be pathetic!

George Lucas also knew about the Pixar situation. He only spent money, not made money. He was very lucky to have sold it at the start, otherwise he’d lost the money. Lucas laughed dryly: “Hehe, there will be auspicious days …”

Yes, there will indeed be a lucky day! I am afraid that when the time comes, you will regret your decision!

Henry grinned, secretly delighted, eager to see what George Lucas would look like on that day.

This time Galaxy Special Effects and Industrial Light & Magic were invited to create special effects for “Terminator 2”. In fact, his main strength is Industrial Light & Magic. To be more precise, Galaxy Special Effects does an additional job. It’s harder to call Soy Sauce. However, Henry alone contributed to this cooperation, a rare opportunity, this is a good opportunity for the Galaxy’s special effects to steal knowledge! At the same time, special effects can also be obtained by stealing knowledge from the world’s top film special effects companies and figuring out how to catch up with them!

After dealing with film company affairs, Henry didn’t care about filmmaking matters. What Henry had to do was get more and better film resources for the film company, such as novel adaptation rights, excellent scripts, comic adaptation rights, and so on.

Henry launches the action.

And the first goal is “The Lord of the Rings”, “The Lord of the Rings” is a very epic fantasy novel, and is recognized as the originator of modern fantasy literature! In 1968, United Artists purchased the rights to adapt Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” for $ 15,000. In 1976, Hollywood producer Saul Zaentz bought the adaptation rights from the United States!

This is information for Henry if he wants to get the rights to adapt “The Lord of the Rings”, the key person is Saul Zaentz!

Henry sent someone to contact him and said he wanted to buy the rights to adapt “The Lord of the Rings.” Saull Zaentz is actually asking for a sky-high price of “five million dollars.” So expensive! In the 1990s, millions of scripts cost almost as rare as dinosaur fossils! Saul Zaentz really raised his prices, and Henry clearly disagrees.

So Henry kept sending people to talk to him.

After several talks, he finally agreed to sell the adaptation rights for “The Lord of the Rings” to the Galaxy Film Company for 2.5 million.

After Henry completed the acquisition of adaptation rights for “The Lord of the Rings”, he continued to look for his next target. However, Henry’s favorite is to acquire Marvel Comics! It was only after asking Henry for information that American billionaire Ronald Perelman was preparing to buy Marvel for 85 million. Shit, how could this be tolerated? ! !
