Before The College Entrance Examination, My Life Was Gamified

Chapter 143 Buying Mgm

Back to Longguo, this time Li Bai got off the plane directly at Modu International Airport.

There is no room for ambiguity about the Dragon phone.

Although the chip of the mobile phone is still being manufactured, the production of the rest of the components is urgent. All the money in his hand has been invested in the construction of the production line, and Li Bai has once again become poor and useless.

Of course, all the money put into the production line is US dollars, and there are more than 100 million Dragon National Coins in the storage space, which is enough for my daily life.

No... When did my life become so extravagant that it needs to be measured in units of one hundred million?

After another half a month of busy work, Li Bai returned to the imperial capital again.

It is now mid-July, and Li Bai rarely missed the school's final exam, but the problem is not serious, and he can go to the school to hold a small re-examination in a few days.

"You didn't even attend the premiere of "Twenty Years Old Back"." Lu Yao said in a low tone.

She also knew that her boyfriend was very busy, but she still couldn't help but feel sore in her heart.

Perhaps this is the nature of women.

Besides, for Lu Yao, this "Back to 20" has far-reaching significance, and this is the first film he and Li Bai have collaborated in a real sense.

And at the end of the movie, Li Bai also appeared as an Easter egg.

That scene was copied from the end of "She's Strange".

So in Lu Yao's view, this movie is a way to commemorate her relationship with Li Bai.

Well, the emotions of little girls are so delicate.

Li Bai was naturally a little embarrassed.

To be honest, if Lu Yao hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about this movie.

Cough, cough, quickly correct your attitude.

"How about it, is the movie highly rated?"

Although the score of the script of this movie has reached the quasi-king level, Li Bai is still a little nervous.

Lu Yao narrowed her eyes into two crescents: "Word of mouth and box office are both very high."

This is her first starring role in a movie, and everyone says her acting skills are good, how can this not make Lu Yao happy?

Now that Li Bai is finally back, she can share her joy with those closest to her.

"That's good."

Li Bai was relieved.

If the first movie he shoots in China hits the street, Dark Horse Media's future will be difficult.

First of all, most of the newcomers with fierce competition within the company joined the company because of Li Bai's capital and script.

Once Li Bai loses the chain, these leeks will probably not be safe.

The second is colleagues in the entertainment industry. After all, Li Bai's reputation as the first screenwriter of Longguo is evaluated by the audience. The box office appeal brought by this gimmick is not even inferior to the three directors of Longguo.

If there is a chance to break the golden status of Li Bai's first screenwriter, these guys will definitely not mind secretly contributing to the flames.

Thinking of movies, Li Bai thought of another thing: "Has the filming of "Sunshine Sisters" started?"

"The filming started a long time ago, and it was still on Hong Kong Island. I did not participate this time. After all, the company's resources cannot be concentrated on me alone. After I finish filming "Flesh and Soul" directed by Chen Da at the end of this year, I will I will transition to work behind the scenes.”

Lu Yao made this decision with great determination.

Although Li Bai doesn't care about her status as an actress, what about the others?

After all, actors are actors, and in ancient times, they belonged to the lower class industry.

And Li Bai is not an ordinary person, she naturally understands what she should do.

Li Bai rubbed the other party's hair: "It's good for you to be behind the scenes, and you can still act if you have a particularly good script in the future."

This woman is just too gentle, it seems that the starting point of everything is Li Bai himself, which makes Li Bai always feel a sense of guilt.

Uh...could it be that I was a scumbag in my previous life and got retribution in this life?

No, this is obviously a blessing.

"En." Lu Yao responded softly.

Li Bai embraced Lu Yao with one hand, and operated the laptop with the other.

"Congratulations on the release of the first big-screen movie of the Crown Princess, the members of the East Palace came to spread flowers."

East Palace?

what the hell is this

Li Bai subconsciously clicked on Lu Yao's blog on the notebook.

Taking a closer look, my girlfriend's fans have already exceeded 3 million, which is obviously already at the level of a first-line actress.

"Yaoyao, what is this East Palace? Why do I feel weird?"

Li Bai frowned, he always felt that the word Donggong had only been heard there before.

But I couldn't think of it for a while, so I could only ask my almighty girlfriend for help.

"Isn't the East Palace the sleeping palace of the ancient prince?"

"Is that so? Why do I remember that there is a word about eunuchs?" Li Bai looked bewildered.

"That's Dongchang." Lu Yao covered her mouth and laughed.

Ugh... this is embarrassing.

Fortunately, it's not Dongchang, cough cough cough.

Li Bai hurriedly changed the subject with a guilty conscience: "How much is the box office of our movie?"

"Half a month after its release, the box office was 110 million. The media estimated that our film's final box office could reach 150 million. It's a pity that the pirated version has already come out, and it's still in high-definition."

Speaking of this, Lu Yao sighed.

If there is no pirated version, "Back to 20" can definitely hit 200 million box office.

It's a pity that due to the influence of piracy, the stamina has been somewhat insufficient.

Li Bai's expression darkened.

Alas, even my own identity can't hold back those people, which shows how deep the waters of the Longguo film industry are now.

If it's just a sneak shot of the gun version, it only represents ordinary pirates.

The high-definition version is only available to those in the industry.

Seeing that Li Bai was in a bad mood, Lu Yao spoke up to comfort her: "."The box office of "Back to 20" is already very good. It is higher than the box office of many Hollywood blockbusters that were released earlier. Take Wu Baige for example. As for the director's "Wind Talker", after the film was released, MGM has already put it up for auction."

Are you going to put it up for auction?

This is breaking news.

Li Bai remembers that in his previous life, Wu Baige's "Wind Talker" made MGM close to bankruptcy, but it still held on until 2005, when it was put up for auction, and then Sony and other consortiums jointly completed the acquisition.

And the high purchase price (Qian Qian Zhao) is terrible.

It paid 3 billion US dollars in cash alone, and also assumed a 2.3 billion US dollar loan from MGM.

Even thinking about it, it feels expensive. In Li Bai's opinion, MGM at that time was not worth so much money at all.

Later, big conglomerates like Sony lost hundreds of millions of dollars every year, which was simply a loss.

But in the previous life, because MGM had good box office movies such as "Legal Blonde" before "Wind Talker", everyone still has expectations for MGM.

The stock hit $12 per share in 2005.

And now, without some other high-grossing films, MGM has been a serious drag on MGM.

Even though MGM also has high-quality industries such as movie theaters, TV stations, resorts, hotels, etc., the current stock price has fallen to the dollar.

After all, MGM movies are the most well-known industry.

Li Bai suddenly looked at Lu Yao: "How about we buy MGM?".
