"Winning the championship is no problem, but..."
At this point, Wang Yi paused for a moment and looked at James Cameron with a strange look in his eyes.
"I heard that you are nicknamed the studio tyrant?"
James Cameron shrugged: "They are talking nonsense. Do you think I look like a tyrant?"
Wang Yi nodded seriously: "Like."
James Cameron laughed and said: "They are slandering."
Wang Yi shook his head: "I don't care whether they slander you or not. Anyway, if you dare to lose your temper with me then, I will just give up and leave."
James Cameron shook his head: "In that case, you will have to pay huge liquidated damages."
Wang Yi spread his hands: "Do you think I am short of money?"
James Cameron couldn't help but curled his lips: "It's a big deal to be rich?"
Wang Yi nodded: "Hey, it's amazing."
After saying that, the two laughed loudly.
…
James Cameron is the kind of person who is decisive and decisive.
After deciding on the shooting method and location, he contacted all parties that afternoon and started setting up the studio.
James Cameron searched for locations throughout Sacramento, and they finally decided on Wang Yi's 90 Riverside Avenue for filming.
Mainly because he took a fancy to Wang Yi's artificial lake and the more than 50 acres of corn planted by Wang Yi.
Originally there was a chase scene in a cornfield in the play.
James Cameron planned to directly plant corn.
But I happened to see that Wang Yi’s 50 acres of corn had now grown to more than a foot tall, which saved trouble.
The filming in the cornfield involved crop circles and chasing and fighting scenes in the cornfield, which would definitely damage Wang Yi's cornfield. James Cameron also talked about the issue of compensation.
In the end, they spent US$50,000 to rent Wang Yi's cornfield and compensated Wang Yi for expenses.
As a result, Wang Yi earned US$70,000 before the filming of the movie even started.
But this little money is just a small amount of money to Wang Yi now.
He also wanted to take advantage of this movie to make a big profit.
So he asked Sister Luo to contact producer Ryan Coogler and express his intention to invest.
The producer was a little reluctant though.
After all, they are not short of money for this movie.
Now one more person investing means one more person wants a share of the pie.
However, in the film market, when investing in films, you cannot go it alone.
Except for movies that no one invests in, which may be funded by a certain company or individual alone, the rest of the movies are basically jointly invested by several or even a dozen parties.
After all, everyone is in the same circle. When you eat meat, you have to share some soup with others.
The so-called investment is not about fighting and killing, investment is a matter of human relationships.
And Wang Yi is also the protagonist of this movie.
He has a huge Chinese market behind him, and he also has more than 1 billion fans around the world.
All these factors added up, and finally Ryan Coogler agreed that Wang Yi could invest.
However, he and Wang Yi also have an agreement, that is: if the return of the film does not exceed 30%, then Wang Yi will not receive an actor's salary. If it exceeds 30%, Wang Yi can receive both dividends and salary.
But this is equivalent to giving money to Wang Yi for free.
With Wang Yi participating, how could this movie lose money?
In fact, Sony, the company behind Ryan Coogler, does not know that Wang Yi still has a 0.1% stake in Sony.
Wang Yi once read those equity documents carefully and found that these equity documents were not ordinary equity numbers.
Although Wang Yi only holds 0.1% of the equity in these companies, there is a special clause in it. This clause does not appear in the equity documents of any other shareholders.
That is, if these 50 companies perform poorly and suffer losses for three consecutive years, Wang Yi's equity will increase to 1%.
If there are two more consecutive years of losses, Wang Yi's equity will increase to 10%.
If there is still a loss in the next year, Wang Yi's equity will increase to 51%.
In other words, if these companies suffer losses for six consecutive years, Wang Yi will obtain 51% of the equity of these companies and have controlling rights - that is, the right to speak.
Even if these companies have suffered losses for six consecutive years, they are still as skinny as a camel, with 51% more equity than a horse. That amount is scary to a person.
Of course, the probability of these companies losing money for six consecutive years is not high.
So Wang Yi basically only gets the dividend of 0.1% of the shares.
But things are unpredictable, who can guarantee it.
Marvel, the giant in the American comics industry, was so poor that it sold its characters before, so it sold Spider-Man to Sony.
Who can guarantee that Sony will not be so poor that they sell characters in the future?
Carmelo Anthony then spent two weeks building a studio.
Wang Yi stood in front of his home, looking at the huge studio set up on the lawn.
He was a little surprised, this is not a fucking studio, it is equivalent to building a movie theater.
There are various types of buildings in various terrains.
There are ancient buildings, terrain simulating alien surfaces, and rivers and waterfalls.
There is an underwater world and the wonders of snow-capped mountains.
It is said that the construction of this movie theater alone cost nearly 10 million US dollars.
Charlotte can’t spend 1 billion in a month?
Just kidding, make a big-budget movie, build a movie theater, and you'll spend all your money in minutes.
This is a real waste of money.
After the studio was ready, we waited for Wang Yi to return from the away game to start shooting.
During this period, Wang Yi is basically guaranteed to average 40 points per game, plus 11 assists and 9 blocks.
If nothing else goes wrong, in the 11th game, he will be able to complete the task of blocking 100 shots.
In addition to Wang Yi, who has maintained his usual high level, there is another player in the NBA whose performance is quite explosive.
Moreover, his popularity is already on par with Wang Yi's.
This person is this year's top pick, Michael Arthur.
Michael Arthur played 10 games.
He averaged 32.1 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks per game.
Although except for rebounding, there is a big gap between him and Wang Yi in other items, but don't forget that he is an American.
Compared to an outsider like Wang Yi, the fact that such a genius can appear in the United States naturally makes them even more excited.
Moreover, these statistics of Michael Arthur are much better than those of James in his debut season.
As a rookie player, it is really surprising that he can perform like this in his first season.
And the most incredible thing is that this guy has a stronger body than James, but he has more flexible breakthroughs than James.
He can not only rush and break through like a tank, but also make changes of direction and dribble past people like Wang Yi.
With his height and weight, but also possessing such speed and dribbling comparable to that of a defender, he would be out of position to hit anyone.
Against those who are taller and stronger than him, his speed and fancy dribbling can easily break through; against those who are more flexible than him, he can use tank breakthroughs to forcefully crush his opponents.
