Chapter 489: Special Effects Layout, a Long Way to Go (Second Update!)

Yin Jun's words were undoubtedly very shocking to Winston. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He has never doubted the future of Yin Jun's model stunts, which is the most important reason why he has always insisted on his special effects studio.

Yin Jun's detailed analysis shows that he has studied model special effects, and even emerging CG special effects.

This shows that he is not an outsider, but an insider.

So it is logical that Winston has no objection to the intention of investing in Stan Winston Studios expressed in Yin Jun's words.

It should be said that a huge part of Americans are not as persistent as the Chinese people in the companies they founded.

They usually start a company just to achieve their ideals and ambitions.

As for the future investment and acquisition, for them, it doesn't matter, for the better development of the company, they are also willing to accept such changes.

This is where the business of the United States is very open and free, and it is also the most important reason why their science and technology, and even the network technology in the future, can develop rapidly -- without the promotion of capital and the addition of more talents, it is basically impossible for a company to develop rapidly and sweep the world!

The Americans do much better than the Europeans, and those in Europe who cling to their own companies are not one or two.

Therefore, after entering the 21st century, the United States can abandon its European homeland and develop rapidly, while Europe can only continue to decline.

Come back to the present.

Yin Jun's words felt a lot to Winston.

But for Huo Jianning next to him, this is pure foolishness.

I wanted to buy someone else's company, and as a result, I began to praise and admire Winston for a while, and then told him about the difficulties of the present and the beautiful scenery in the future...... After such words, it is no wonder that a craftsman like Winston is not impressed.

Winston, who was excited and calmed down, asked, "You mean, you want to invest in my studio?"

"It's not an investment, I want to buy. Yin Jun said in a good time: "I am willing to buy 90% of the shares of Stan Winston Studio for $20 million in cash, and the remaining 10% will be left to you." Then I will give another 20% to the outstanding talents who have made special contributions in the company in the future. In addition, I promise to provide $10 million a year for the development of the studio within five years, so that you have better machinery, better raw materials and more sufficient capital to invite talents to join the company. This 50 million fund will not dilute everyone's shares. ”

Winston gasped.

Yin Jun said this, in fact, it means that he used 70 million funds to buy 90% of Stan Winston's shares, and he also had to give 20% to the backbones.

In fact, this is 70 million to acquire 70% of the shares!

What is the reason why his small studio is worth $10 million and is willing to pay ten times the price - $100 million to acquire it?

"Why?" asked Winston directly.

"I'm a filmmaker and I want to make something interesting in the future, so special effects are a very important part. Yin Jun said with a smile, "It's best to have a special effects company by yourself, so as not to make others unsatisfactory to me." ”

"Do you need our model effects at the film company in Hong Kong?" asked Winston.

"It's not just Hong Kong, it's Hollywood. Yin Jun said with a straight face, "Now that I have invested in two films, this is just the beginning, sooner or later, I will buy a big company in Hollywood, and then also make movies." ”

Winston nodded, but obviously didn't believe that Yin Jun would buy a "big Hollywood company", but as long as Yin Jun was interested in the special effects company and was willing to use it, it would make him feel satisfied.

But how long this enthusiasm can last makes Winston a little hesitant.

After all, if Yin Jun loses interest in two years and immediately sells the company's shares to others, then in the turmoil, the special effects studio will definitely not be able to do a good job.

Yin Jun added another fire to him at this time, and he took out a stack of materials from his bag for the third time, "Mr. Winston, here are some of my views and suggestions for the model special effects company, you can take a look." ”

Winston thought about things, and felt that Yin Jun was an outsider, what professional advice did he have?

So he opened the information a little carelessly, and only after a few glances, he immediately indulged in it, and it wasn't until he finished reading this opinion that he reluctantly raised his head.

"I finally believe that Mr. Yin, you are passionate about this industry. "I don't have a personal opinion, but I have a group of old guys who don't own a stake but are part of the studio, so I want to ask for their opinions...... If you can increase our salary a little bit, about 10%, I'm sure they'll be happy to welcome you on. ”

"After I buy the studio, I won't interfere with your personnel and professional management, but the accounting firm will audit the accounts twice a year. Yin Jun said, "So, you can make this decision yourself." I just need you to do your business seriously, don't care about losses, don't care about expenses, just do a good job of the technology of the special effects studio. ”

"Really?"

Winston was pleasantly surprised.

He originally thought that after Yin Jun bought Stan Winston VFX Studio, he would take full control of the studio, which is what is usually done by controlling shareholders.

I didn't expect Yin Jun to be willing to give up so much power.

No, it's not just decentralization.

Yin Jun also said "no matter the loss", "no matter the expense", this is to let them concentrate on the technology, any method can be tried!

In other words, Yin Jun is supporting them to constantly burn money to play technology!

That's what really makes Winston happy!

"Nothing I say is false. Yin Jun nodded, "Then, Mr. Winston, what you give back to me must be the best and best technology, don't you say?"

"Of course!"

Winston said, "Don't worry, I'll do the best for you in this movie...... Let them see the true strength of our studio!"

"Good!"

Yin Jun laughed, and took out a bunch of documents from his bag for the fourth time, "This is the approximate contract I wrote, you go back and look at the aluminum wire, if there is no problem, we can sign the contract at any time." ”

"I see. Winston was more efficient than ever, "I'll get a lawyer in a moment and try to sign the contract tomorrow." ”

He didn't doubt Yin Jun's strength.

Investing in Lucas's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" can't be fake, and looking for Spielberg to make a movie can't be fake, he will know about this matter with a phone call later, how can there be a scam?

"Good!"

Yin Jun raised his hand, "I wish us a happy cooperation, and I also wish our company success as soon as possible and become the No. 1 special effects company in Hollywood and even in the world!"

When Winston and Yin Jun shook hands, they smiled from ear to ear.

That's exactly what he's working for!

……

Coming out of Winston, Huo Jianning asked Yin Jun in the car, "Jun Shao, you want to find a special effects company to do "E.T.", I can understand this." You want to buy a special effects company to serve your film business, and I get it. But why are you willing to spend $70 million at a special effects company that is absolutely not worth $20 million? And in the end you only get 70 percent of the shares! Is this Mr. Winston really that powerful, really worth the price?"

Faced with the question of his future minister, Yin Jun just wanted to say, that's because you haven't watched the movie version of "Jurassic Park".

Anyone who watched the movie version of "Jurassic Park" did not fall for the dinosaurs in it.

Whether you're screaming, excited, horrified, apprehensive, nervous, restless...... The dinosaurs that are extremely realistic will definitely make you sigh, it is exactly like the real thing!

And these dinosaurs were made one by one by Winston and his assistants.

As long as you know this, you will know, if nothing else, it is just for the movie "Jurassic Park", and it is worth spending 70 million US dollars to get in!

You must know that the "Jurassic Park" trilogy, plus "Jurassic World", has exceeded $3.5 billion at the global box office!!

There are other related sequels in the future, one will be released in three years, and there will be no problem at all.

Of course, from the previous life of "Jurassic Park", there are also many flaws.

The first part of "Jurassic Park" is better than the lifelike dinosaur model.

The second part continues Spielberg's style, coupled with people's expectations for a sequel, so it can still win $620 million at the box office.

But the third part was not directed by Spielberg, and it blindly used routines, and the box office of $400 million in the end was not available.

But Yin Jun feels that none of this is the key.

The most important thing is that after the first part was amazing, "Jurassic Park" did not have better technical strength to support it, and the special effects of the third part were not much different from the first part, so the audience would lose interest.

In the fourth part of "Jurassic World", because of the combination of more computer special effects and model special effects, coupled with the combination of 3D and IMAX, it hit the global super high box office of 1.52 billion US dollars in one go, which shows where the real core attraction of this kind of dinosaur movie is.

Therefore, Winston's model effects are only part of the success of the special effects.

On the other hand, Yin Jun also had to ask the special effects studio to add computer animation effect technology.

However, it would take two years for SGI, the manufacturer and designer of SGI's super workbenches, to be founded.

Until then, let Winston concentrate on developing the model's special effects.

Thoughts flickered.

Facing Huo Jianning's question, Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice, "Don't mention it here for the time being. Brother Ning, ten years later, if someone takes 1 billion Hong Kong dollars and wants to buy out your contract and poach you to change jobs, I won't agree. ”

Huo Jianning smiled dumbly, "You mean, you are also optimistic about his future development?"

"Yes. ”

Yin Jun smiled slightly, "When we make investments, we don't necessarily have everything right. Now Winston is one of Hollywood's premier special effects masters, and I think his special effects company has a future, so I bet on it. Whether it succeeds or not, we need to hand it over to time to verify, so let's see as we go. ”

Huo Jianning shook his head when he heard this.

On the one hand, he felt that Yin Jun acted decisively and was very courageous, and on the other hand, he also felt that Yin Jun was a little too aggressive.

But in the face of Yin Jun's strong self-confidence when he spoke, Huo Jianning vaguely believed that what Yin Jun did was not so simple.

Perhaps, this is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people.

In terms of business smell, geniuses are always so sensitive!
