Chapter 597 It's More Difficult Than Fighting an Aircraft Carrier

Fox's attitude was to be expected, no one would sell a hen that lays golden eggs.

Keep raising the price, maybe Fox will sell the X-Men, but it may not be right for Marvel.

In order to buy back the previously sold rights, they have spent more than 1 million US dollars-more than the price of buying Marvel.

Is it necessary to spend more money to buy X-Men?

Yang Dongsheng thought for a while and said, "It is not necessary to buy the entire X-Men. You can buy the copyrights of some of the characters separately, such as Deadpool and Scarlet Witch. But if Fox asks for too much, it's fine. Enough!"

Of course, the more characters in a movie, the better. Sometimes there are too many people, but it is not easy to arrange.

They have bought back characters such as Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, etc., plus Spider-Man, Ghost Rider in Columbia’s hands, and the remaining characters in Marvel’s hands, and they can already form a team Beat Thanos.

I still want to buy Deadpool, of course, for the separate "Deadpool" movie.

The purpose of buying the Scarlet Queen is to balance the gender ratio in the Avengers, and to prevent people from being attacked with feminism when it is released. However, they have brought back the Fantastic Four, and adding the Invisible Woman can also balance the gender ratio.

Yang Dongsheng told James Whistler the outline of the Marvel and "Transformers" series of movies.

Of course, some details have to be excluded from it - Yang Dongsheng doesn't want to see an M1A1 kill an alien robot in one shot.

James Whistler took notes honestly.

"Don't use well-known actors as actors, and don't want big-name directors as directors. Just find a group of people who can make movies step by step. The selling point of these movies is special effects. They are different from "Infernal Affairs"!"

In order to invite Martin Scorsese to be the director of "Infernal Affairs", they gave Martin Scorsese a lot of autonomy, including the final editing rights.

They are outsiders, and Hollywood has always been a bully.

And Sony did too many bad things when they took control of Columbia. In 1996, they offered a sky-high price of 2000 million U.S. dollars to invite Jim Carrey to star in "Kingsman", directly increasing the remuneration of first-line stars to 2000 million. all production companies.

Now all these bad things are on their heads!

The script of "Infernal Affairs" has been reworked by Martin Scorsese for the screenwriter.

Yang Dongsheng looked at it, and although it was a little different from the previous life, the general trend remained the same.

The two male leads invited Keanu Reeves and Edward Norton respectively, and the female lead used Cate Blanchett.

The big villain originally wanted to invite Jack Nicholson, but they didn't accept it. Martin Scorsese finally used Harvey Keitel, who he had worked with many times.

Liam Neeson plays the boss of the hero on the police side.

……

Judging from the script and casting, Martin Scorsese put his heart into it.

Since this is an award-winning film, everyone's salary is not high,

Even the popular Keanu Reeves, when he filmed the first part of "The Matrix", his salary was already 1000 million US dollars, and now he is a proper member of the 2000 million club, but he took the initiative to cut his salary. He paid 600 million U.S. dollars, which is already the highest paid person in the entire crew.

In addition to movies, James Whistler also bought a large number of stocks in companies such as Cyberport and Hong Kong Pipeline Gas, preparing to privatize them.

In addition, he has recently acquired some mines and land in the United States.

The United States has long been the largest foreign investor and holds minerals from many countries.

Foreign companies also like to go public in New York.

Mavericks' new stadium construction progress, short Enron, US, Germany, France, Italy's natural gas fields...

After James Whistler reported, Freddie Krueger began.

In the past few months, they have given Algeria great support.

They played a vital role in A country being able to survive until the chicken country retreated, but what they supported A country was not the arms that Yang Dongsheng had envisioned, but food.

Afghanistan is one of the world's major food importing countries, especially in the past few months, it has been winter and spring in the northern hemisphere.

The bombing of the chicken country failed, and they still hang on, just wanting to wait for the food shortage in the country, and then enter the country for "disaster relief" under the banner of humanitarianism.

But they only guessed the first half of the matter, not the second half.

After the food shortage in Afghanistan, food prices skyrocketed.

Although the countries next to Afghanistan are all grain importers, they have begun to export grain to Afghanistan.

If it was the previous life, the price of food around A country would rise very quickly. After the price difference is small, there will be no one to sell food.

However, the biggest change that Alice has brought to the local area in the past few years is that the local food production has increased significantly.

After the price of grain in North Africa skyrocketed, Freddy Krueger immediately used the gold Yang Dongsheng gave him to purchase a batch of grain and sell it to North Africa, earning a fortune.

With the defeat of the chicken country, now the whole of West and North Africa is open to them.

On the other hand, they have completed negotiations on the purchase of fighter jets.

The first batch of 12 Su-30s was ordered, with a total price of nearly 7 million U.S. dollars, all paid in gold, which is much higher than others.

Their base is located in the tropics and by the sea. The fighter jets will be used in the sea environment with high salt spray, high temperature and humidity in the future, which is very different from the original design of the Su-30.

In order to adapt to this environment, all equipment must be watertight, and the load equipment must be treated accordingly... These improvements will inevitably lead to an increase in cost.

And they also purchased a lot of ammunition, and also purchased training services.

At the time of delivery, an aerial tanker must be dispatched.

But even more difficult than fighting an aircraft carrier is finding an aircraft carrier.
