"Four comic-based movies will be launched at the same time, with a total investment of 1 billion gold. If no one is willing to invest, Woodpecker will be the sole investor!”
This sentence echoed in the minds of the reporters, and everyone was shocked beyond words.
God, as far as they knew, Li Yang's net worth was only about 1.1 billion meters of gold, and these were just assets, not cash.
Solely funded shooting, starting at 1 billion meters of gold, where would Li Yang get so much money? To rob a bank? Or would he directly bet all his assets?
"Mr. Li, you must be joking. How can Woodpecker Entertainment release four comic-based movies at the same time? Moreover, it's a starting investment of one billion dollars.”
In the seat next to him, Marvel Entertainment's CEO, Kevin Fitch, frowned and stared straight at Li Yang. He wanted to see if Li Yang was telling the truth or not.
Unfortunately, Li Yang was not like a young man at all. He didn't say anything on his face. What you could see was what he wanted you to see. Perhaps only God knew what he was thinking.
"Boss, you're too impulsive. Wasn't the previous plan to produce one movie a year? Why did it become four?”In the back, Karl, the general manager of Woodpecker Company, was sweating. He wiped his forehead with a towel.
Carl didn't know that Li Yang only had one goal in mind, and that was to take everything for himself.
As long as he made it big enough to scare everyone, no one would dare to come and share the food.
There was no problem in sharing the benefits, sharing the risks, and earning money together. He had to invest his real money!
In Li Yang's current plan, who would dare to take this risk?
On the signing stage, Li Yang saw everyone's reaction. He smiled and said confidently,"Everyone, I know what you're thinking. You're just mocking me, but I don't care. Time will prove everything. My decisions will never be wrong. I, Li Yang, will never lose money on my investments.”
"You can brag all you want. You're still comparing yourself to the stock god. His net worth is close to 100 billion, and you're not even a fraction of his.”Dozens of reporters rolled their eyes in disdain. They didn't say anything even if they saw through it.
No matter what, the more Li Yang boasted, the more sensational the news report would be tomorrow. It didn't matter what he said or whether he could achieve it or not. As long as the people were interested, the reporters and media would benefit.
He had almost finished bragging and achieved all his goals. Li Yang did not want to waste time with the reporters, so he stood up and said,"Friends from the media, this press conference is almost over. You have obtained the news materials you wanted.”
With that, Li Yang and Kevin Fitch signed the copyright reselling agreement for the ten heroes under the sound of nearly a hundred cameras.
When they walked out of the venue, an entertainment reporter ran up and asked,"Mr. Li, regardless of whether these four comic-based movies can achieve your expectations, all four movies are movies with huge investments. Do you have a suitable candidate for the lead role in mind?”
Obviously, once the news was out, the entire Hollywood would be shocked. Many male and female celebrities wanted to get a role.
Those big shots might not be interested because they cherished their feathers and did not want to act in bad movies. However, those small celebrities who were still struggling were definitely interested.
Li Yang didn't want to answer such a question, but seeing that this entertainment media had a good influence, Li Yang casually said,""As for the male and female leads, there are no suitable candidates yet. However, in order to make these four comic-based movies work well, I will personally find the most suitable male and female leads!”
The example from his previous life was right there. To be safe, Li Yang was not willing to take the risk of changing people. If the movie failed after changing people, then Li Yang would have no place to cry.
"Mr. Li, shouldn't the director be the one to choose the male and female leads? Do you think your taste is better than the famous directors?”The entertainment media reporter continued to ask questions.
"You're still too inexperienced to dig a hole for me!”Li Yang glanced at the reporter and left without answering him.
If Li Yang admitted that his taste was higher than the famous directors, wouldn't he be making enemies for no reason? He was an outsider, so how could he look down on those professional directors!
"Your brain works really fast. As expected of the most cunning little fox on Wall Street!”The entertainment media reporter complained in a low voice.
…………………
"Boss, slow down…"
In the aisle of the Hilton Hotel, Carl jogged to keep up with Li Yang's pace. Due to his fat body, it was a little difficult for Carl to keep up with Li Yang's pace. He took a few deep breaths and said,"Boss, what you said to the reporters just now couldn't be true, right? Are we really going to release four manga movies at the same time? This was an astronomical investment!”
" When have I ever lied…" Li Yang stopped in his tracks, smiled at Carl, and comforted him,""If we follow my plan, even if the sky collapses, there will be no mistakes. We don't have to wait for the movie to be released. Woodpecker will soon shine!”
When Li Yang said " very soon ", he was naturally referring to Taylor, the money tree. It took a long time to make a good movie, but it didn't take too long to release a good album. As long as there were good songs, it could be produced in a week.
Coincidentally, Li Yang did not have many other things, but he had a lot of champion songs and best-selling albums.
" Boss, I think by tomorrow, whether it's you or Woodpecker Company, they will be the topic of discussion in the US…" Carl smiled helplessly. He wanted to mock him, but he thought it was inappropriate and quickly changed it.
" If everyone can infer the unknown outcome and avoid disaster, will there still be a difference between the poor and the rich in this world?”Li Yang glanced at Carl and walked towards the elevator, ready to leave the Hilton Hotel.
" I can't refute it. It makes sense…" Carl shook his head and smiled as he followed closely behind Li Yang.
……………
In the afternoon, before the media had even started to report on the press conference, the news had already spread among the upper circles of the United States.
Many business elites were in disbelief. Some people who knew Li Yang were even more shocked.
In their impression, Li Yang had always been known for being mature and steady, taking every step carefully and closely linked with each other.
Now, why would Li Yang suddenly make such a move? Did he want to bet big?
At night, at the dining table in Irina's home, Bunder put down his napkin and looked at Irina, who was sitting on his left, as he said,""You heard the news, right? Li Yang bought the film rights of ten Marvel heroes for 100 million dollars. This is simply stupid. Can these ten heroes earn back the 100 million dollars?”
"This isn't over yet. Li Yang even announced in front of the reporters that Woodpecker Entertainment is going to start their manga adaptation project and will shoot four superhero movies at the same time. The total investment is one billion dollars. I think his brain is damaged. He doesn't know who he is and dares to enter any industry!”
Irina fell silent upon hearing this. She didn't know how to retort. At the very least, from her point of view, Li Yang's move was too risky. If he were to fail, it wouldn't just be a huge blow to his bones, but it would be a waste of years of hard work.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Bunder continued to ask. He had finally managed to turn the situation around. How could he not scold Li Yang properly?
On the left seat, Irina glanced at Bunder and said with a forced tone,""Father, it's still too early to make a conclusion. Li Yang has always been famous for creating miracles.”
"Very good, let's wait and see!" Bunder shook his head and sighed. He was too lazy to say more.
