"Yes." Wu Tao nodded in agreement.
"Let's talk about something else. Velociraptor tastes pretty good. I'll treat you to a feast of copy dragon meat later."
"Tsk tsk, I said earlier that you are very enlightened. I didn't expect it to be so extravagant. I heard that it costs at least several million to breed a dinosaur. What a prodigal"
"Well, one second, two seconds, well, the dinosaur's money is earned, haha!"
The day after Li Linfei returned to the company headquarters, two celebrities from Hollywood came to visit the headquarters in person.
One is Thomas Tull, one of the six traditional giants of Hollywood, the current helm of Universal Pictures, and the other is Colin Trevorrow, a well-known director in the industry.
Colin, the director, is really famous because of "Jurassic World" released in 2015. He became famous after directing the fourth film of the "Jurassic Park" series reboot movie, and then became famous in Hollywood. fame.
The subsequent "Jurassic World 5" and "Jurassic World 6" were both directed by Colin. The new trilogy of dinosaurs after the restart also made him a hot commercial film director in Hollywood. Universal Pictures made a lot of money.
However, after Universal transferred the entire copyright of this lucrative and powerful IP to Future Technology, it finally made a fortune again.
After a lapse of time, when Future Technology revealed the real-life version of Dinosaur Park, global executives saw new business opportunities. Maybe this sky-high price of full copyright IP transfer is not the last one.
For this reason, Thomas Tull, the CEO of Universal Pictures, personally came to Future Technology. It is very simple, because Future Technology is a technology giant.
Although there is a film subsidiary, it is not large, even with the acquisition of News Corporation.
In particular, Li Linfei has repeatedly mentioned that future technology will not make content, which has seen huge business opportunities for Universal Pictures, combining Diaomen Island Dinosaur Park and Western Project's dinosaur habitat.
If Future Technology can be persuaded to start the new movie "Jurassic World", it will definitely be a big deal with no loss. He also knows that Future Technology has Lin Min Entertainment, but so far, it has only shown movies. Together, a "Legend of the Fox Spirit" came out, so they came to seek cooperation and guide the shooting of "New Jurassic World" together.
This is the biggest purpose of Thomas coming to China, but then again, although Universal Pictures claims to be one of the six Hollywood giants, that is only in relative terms.
In the face of such a behemoth of future technology, Thomas still respects him. The big business he cares about can even be dismissed by the other party. Only by taking enough practical actions can he show his sincerity.
Thomas knew that Li Linfei's trip to Yanjing was over, and he had officially returned to the company headquarters the day before yesterday, and today was exactly the appointment time, that's right.
Even if the CEO of Universal Pictures wants to meet Li Linfei, he has to make an appointment, unless he is a world super tech giant with the same status and influence as Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page or Elon Musk. Universal is obviously far from reaching this level.
At this moment, it was the afternoon, the sun was no longer so hot, and the sky was about to enter dusk.
Li Linfei did not break his promise, and shared a feast of roasted dragon meat with Wu Tao in his manor.
On the man-made water beach, Li Linfei did it himself, wearing a pair of white casual shorts with his upper body bare, and the "proprietary master" on the grill was an adult Velociraptor.
Li Linfei wore a pair of flat-style black sunglasses and was very busy when Ding Yang came here: "Boss, the helm of Universal Pictures has arrived at the headquarters. Do you want to meet him now?"
"Bring it here directly." Li Linfei said without looking back, while turning over the grill and adding a little seasoning.
"Universal Pictures? A filmmaker?" Wu Tao, who was enjoying the gentle sunshine, said curiously: "I remember you said that you don't play content production?"
"If you don't make content, you can't meet filmmakers?" Li Linfei laughed.
"What is he here for?" Wu Tao, who was lying on the sand, asked.
"The world is full of prosperity, all for Lilai." Li Linfei said.
Upon hearing the explanation, Wu Tao raised his eyebrows wordlessly, made his mouth into an "o" shape, nodded silently, and immediately lay down again to enjoy the afterglow.
"It's done!" Li Linfei clapped his palms, and immediately lifted a whole roasted Velociraptor onto the table. The head and internal organs had been removed.
Wu Tao, who was lying on the sandy ground, couldn't resist the scent inhaled in his nostrils in the end, and immediately came to the flat table. Li Linfei cut off a piece of meat from his thigh.
"Well... not bad." Wu Tao nodded after eating a piece, and his mouth was obviously a little hot when he kept exhaling. While chewing, he looked at the huge dragon meat on the table and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "According to the current cultivation of an adult fast and fierce The cost of the dragon, tsk tsk... It's 2000 yuan (RMB) for one mouthful. I've lived most of my life and never imagined that I can enjoy such a luxurious meal. It's such a prodigal."
Wu Tao said so, but it tasted unambiguous.
Just finished eating a piece of meat, and already earned back the money of several Velociraptors. "Li Linfei said, and the two couldn't help laughing. Future Technology is indeed a group technology company that is more efficient than a money printing machine.
Li Linfei accounts for as much as 90% of the shares of the future technology company. It is not an exaggeration to say that it takes several seconds to swallow a piece of meat.
"Boss!" At this moment, Ding Yang's voice came from behind, and the two foreigners were taken to the beach. Seeing Li Linfei and Wu Tao eating and drinking, Director Ke Lin stared at the barbecue on the table. round.
Chapter 56 Restarting the Dinosaur Movie
Li Linfei, who was sitting cross-legged on the sand, turned around and looked at the two foreigners, and said with a smile, "I have to say, Mr. Thomas, you are in good time, please sit down as you like, um, and Director Colin, come here, Ding Yang, you come too, let's greet this dragon together."
The two foreigners, Thomas and Colin, glanced at Li Linfei, but were immediately attracted by the food on the table, especially the enticing aroma in the air. After a while, everyone gathered together.
"It's hard to be polite, Mr. Ren." Thomas smiled, not caring about what he was wearing at the moment.
"Cough..." Li Linfei shook his head with a smile and said, "You are free to cut whatever part you want to eat. There are Western-style tableware beside you."
Li Linfei, the super rich man in the world, is so casual. Although the two foreigners who just arrived are a bit reserved, the current situation seems to be a good sign.
There was no extra fabric on the sand, but the two foreigners didn't care whether there was any fabric on the sand, and sat around the table with their buttocks. The director did not dare to put on airs of a gentleman.
"Mr. Thomas, how does it taste?" Li Linfei looked at Tull with a smile.
"Hmm..." Thomas nodded again and again, gave a thumbs up, and connected another piece of entrance.
"Mr. Li, may I ask if this is... dinosaur meat?" Colin cut off a large piece and asked curiously before the entrance.
"Veloster." Li Linfei cut off a small piece and threw it into his mouth, chewing slowly.
"Vetlosaurus?" Thomas, who was enjoying the feast, saw the silhouette of the dinosaur on the dining table, and immediately asked in doubt: "Is this too small? Could it be a young dragon that has not yet reached adulthood?"
The outline of the dinosaur on the table is too small. Although Thomas is not an expert on dinosaurs, the company's six dinosaur series movies also let him know about these prehistoric creatures. Colin is also very curious.
Especially director Colin, as one of the main dinosaur protagonists of "Jurassic World", Velociraptor is very clear that an adult prehistoric Velociraptor is about two meters long and more than 50 centimeters in height, but what do you think of this one? It's just over a meter long.
"Actually, this is indeed an adult velociraptor." Li Linfei replied, seeing the puzzled and curious expressions of the two foreigners, he explained: "The length of this velociraptor is about 1.5 meters (meters) interval, about 35 centimeters (centimeters) high and more than 220 pounds (about 100kg)."
"As for the reason why the Velociraptor was about one-third smaller."
Li Linfei glanced at the surrounding scenery, and then said: "It is mainly caused by the current situation of the earth's environment."
"You should know that the oxygen content of the air in prehistoric times was about 50% higher than it is now. The oxygen content of the air is nearly 30%, but now it is only about 19%. It is common sense that organisms will be larger in an oxygen-rich environment."
"This velociraptor grew up in the atmospheric environment on Earth today. In fact, not only the velociraptor was much smaller, but the general dinosaur size was about a quarter or a third smaller."
After chatting for a while, Li Linfei finally looked at Thomas: "Mr. Tour, you did not hesitate to travel across the ocean to come here yourself, please tell me your purpose?"
As soon as he heard the business, Thomas immediately became serious, patted his palms lightly, and immediately said with confidence: "This is Mr. Li. I think Universal Pictures and your company can carry out a win-win cooperation project."
"Oh? I would like to hear more about it." Li Linfei said without raising his head, eating the dinosaur meat by himself.
Thomas didn't care about Li Linfei's casualness, and continued: "The dinosaur park that your company is about to build will definitely resonate all over the world. I have listened to your symposium during the Beijing summit."
"Your company has created a complete industrial chain centered around 'dinosaurs', and film and television and peripherals must also be an important part, especially film and television, which will be of great benefit to the promotion of 'Dinosaur Park'."
"Of course, I have no doubts about the current global popularity of 'Dinosaur Park', but further film and television will definitely have better effects and more considerable profits, and at the same time can drive the value-added of surrounding benefits, which is also what makes 'Dinosaur Park' 'All-round development of the value of the industrial chain." Thomas said at length.
