Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

"Resident Evil" is a game developed by Wujiang Group, and it can now be adapted into a live-action movie.

The plot of "Resident Evil" is already very clear. Zhao Ye no longer needs to write the story. The screenwriter of Shanghai Animation Film Studio can write a good script.

So, Zhao Ye said to Xu Xiangming at this time: "There are too few special effects projects, so we will make the movie ourselves. I think we can shoot "Resident Evil", and the heroine invites..."

Just in the middle of speaking, Zhao Ye suddenly realized that Milla Jovovich, the heroine of "Resident Evil", seems to be very young now, and her fame and acting skills may not be enough to support the role of the heroine of "Resident Evil".

However, apart from Milla Jovovich, Zhao Ye really can't think of anyone else who is more suitable to play the heroine of this movie than her.

Zhao Ye hesitated for a moment. This movie has a lot of game fans, so it doesn't matter which actress will play it. If her acting skills are not good, she can hone her skills.

Zhao Ye is still willing to give Milla Jovovich a chance.

"The heroine will be chosen by Milla Jovovich, but some important supporting roles in this movie can be played by Chinese actors! This movie is for global users, otherwise the cost will not be recovered!"

Xu Xiangming nodded.

Zhao Ye had other things to do later, so he left.

As soon as Zhao Ye left, Xu Xiangming looked at the people around him and asked, "Do you know who Milla Jovovich is?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Milla Jovovich has made her debut since she was a child and is considered a child star.

Moreover, at this time, he had already starred in an action movie called "Detective Dragon", which was released in January 1992.

During this period, most Hollywood movie stars were not famous in China.

Not to mention Milla Jovovich.

It is normal that no one has heard of her name.

However, as long as people inquire in Hollywood, they will definitely know her information.

……

……

Shanghai Animation Film Studio quickly formed an acquisition team to go to the United States.

After arriving in the United States, the acquisition team split into two groups.

I met with Jobs along the way and prepared to acquire Pixar Animation Studio.

The other way to Marvel.

At this time, Jobs actually regretted acquiring Pixar Animation Studio. Making computer-animated movies was more difficult than he imagined. He had been investing in Pixar for many years. So far, Pixar had become a hot potato. He just wanted to sell it. No one wants to buy it either.

Pixar Animation Studios has been losing money, and real success will have to wait until "Toy Story" is released, but that will be three years later.

As a result, Jobs was worth as much as $10 billion, and was hired back by Apple again.

Zhao Ye doesn't know whether Steve Jobs can continue to return to Apple when Shanghai Art Film Studio acquires Pixar?

"Hello, Mr. Jobs, I am Fan Yuquan, director of the investment department of Shanghai Art Film Studio. Nice to meet you!"

Fan Yuquan smiled with a smile on his face and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Mr. Pan!" Jobs said, shaking hands.

"Mr. Jobs, we have expressed our company's purpose to you on the phone. Are you willing to sell Pixar Animation Studio?" Fan Yuquan asked.

Jobs said in a deep voice: "How much are you willing to pay?"

"As far as we know, Mr. Jobs, when you acquired Pixar from George Lucas, you spent US$1000 million, and then successively injected capital into Pixar, which was about US$3000 million. In other words, you spent a total of 4000 million US dollars. Dollar."

Fan Yuquan paused and said, "So, our company is willing to spend US$7000 million to acquire Pixar."

Jobs shook his head, dissatisfied with the price, and said, "$7000 million is too little. I want $ million! I won't sell Pixar without $ million!"

Jobs sounded determined.

Fan Yuquan frowned. He thought spending $100 million to acquire Pixar Animation Studio was a bit expensive.

Although Pixar now has a strong technical advantage in computer animation production, Pixar has not proven that computer-animated movies can achieve box office success.

Fan Yuquan immediately bargained with Jobs.

However, Jobs insisted that he wanted US$1 million, and the negotiations between the two parties reached a deadlock.

Fan Yuquan could only say with regret that we would talk about it next time.

Jobs left worriedly.

He also has a computer company named NeXT Corporation. NeXT launched its first workstation computer product, the NeXT Computer, in 1988, followed by the smaller NeXTStation in 1990.

However, annual sales are less than 400 units.

Until the company was acquired, a total of only four to five thousand units were sold.

Businessland, a retail partner, also closed down. The company's big bet on NeXT wasn't the only blow that caused the collapse, but it definitely played a role.

At this time, Jobs was at his worst moment.

By next year, almost all of NeXT's vice presidents, including the five who originally co-founded the company with Jobs, will have left.

However, this series of experiences is very important to Jobs. When Jobs evolves into Jobs 2.0, the whole world will be crazy about it.

At the moment, NeXT is having a hard time developing, with annual sales of less than 400 products, and with Pixar being such a drag, Jobs is worried.

Jobs now wants to sell Pixar and get the funds back to develop NeXT.

Wherever you fall, you stand up.

The Apple board of directors kicked him out of the company, and he wanted to prove that the Apple board of directors made a wrong choice.

It's just that it's so embarrassing now. NeXT has developed into this horrible state, which makes Steve Jobs lose face.

Steve Jobs opened his mouth and dared to ask for $1 million. In fact, he was strong on the outside and weak on the inside, so he had little confidence.

If Shanghai Art Film Studio is not willing to pay such a high price to acquire Pixar, it can lower the price.

But on the other side, negotiators from Shanghai Art Film Studio met and chatted with Ronald Perelman.

Back in 1988, Marvel was resold to Ronald Perelman for $8500 million.

Rather than running comics, Ronald Perelman is more concerned about how to make Marvel make more money through capital operations.

Under Perelman's leadership, Marvel went public in 1991.

After going public, Marvel began to expand aggressively. In addition to desperately launching comics, it also frantically acquired other companies, including toy companies, card companies, comic distribution companies, etc., while also carrying huge debts.

Moreover, in 1991, a group of star painters such as Jim Lee and McFarland quit Marvel to set up their own business and established Image Company. Marvel has lost its most influential author.

At the moment, the comic book industry is in a slump again. A large number of comic shops have gone bankrupt and closed. Marvel's sales channels have been damaged, and its stock price has also been falling.
