Zhuke and leishidong talked a lot about the Harry Potter theme park, such as the investment, the site selection, the area of the park and so on.

    In a word, Lei Shidong is very interested. He intends to join in and have a share.

    Lei Shidong is very rich. Both Viacom''s achievements and influence in the media field and Paramount''s strength in the world film industry can provide great help to Harry Potter paradise.

    However, Zhuke refused!

    "Lei Shidong, forget it. I''m just making a fuss, so I don''t have to trouble you. "

    Zucker declined.

    Smell speech, Thunder Stone east face color a stiff, but soon adjusted to come over, sigh a way: "that is really a pity!"

    After a pause, he said, "don''t you want to hear the price of my dismissal? I believe that this price will make you very satisfied. "

    be deeply moved but still reject!

    Zucker still gritted his teeth and refused.

    "Just because you are strong enough, I dare not let you participate in it!"

    There''s a secret in Zhuk''s heart.

    In a word, the Harry Potter theme park project, Zucker will never let Hollywood colleagues involved.

    Don''t you see

    In the original space and time, Warner company, holding the copyright of Harry and Potter, is in the face of the construction of the Harry Potter theme park project. It faces the huge olive branch thrown by the global parent group of Universal Studios, without hesitation agreeing to cooperate.

    In the first year, it was quite fruitful.

    But!

    What will happen in a few years?

    More than half of the profits earned by Harry Potter Park belong to Universal Studios.

    The ownership and management rights of more than ten Harry Potter parks scattered around the world are also controlled by Universal Studios.

    In contrast, Warner, which holds the copyright, only makes hard money in the end!

    In other words, in the Harry and Potter theme park project, Warner company made a wedding dress for Universal Studios.

    How can Zhuke now accept the "goodwill" from his peers?

    "These people are a group of cannibals who don''t spit bones!" Zucker is always on the alert.

    Sure enough, in the period before the opening of the next movie, Disney, Sony Columbia, and even Warner and universal, who are always in conflict with Zucker, frequently take the initiative to seek contact.

    Isn''t it for Harry Potter theme park?!

    Among them, Murdoch, the boss of News Corporation and 20th century fox, is the most attractive.

    "With a total investment of US $1.5 billion in the early stage of the project, we news corporation can provide us $1 billion. Of course, we need to obtain 55% of the revenue share of the whole project."

    "In addition, we News Corporation will continue to increase the follow-up funds of Harry Potter theme park in the future."

    This is the price offered by Murdoch.

    Chuckles and refuses again.

    .......

    The next day.

    In the office of the headquarters of Golden Dawn entertainment group, Zhuke warmly met with wall Dylan, senior partner and senior vice president of Goldman Sachs investment bank, and had the first informal conversation on the Harry Potter theme park.

    "Zhuke, first of all, I want to ask about the scale of Harry Potter theme park. Of course, I hope you can draw an analogy with Disneyland, which will give us a clearer understanding."

    Said wall Dylan.

    Zhuke nodded and immediately took out a project drawing: "this is the preparation draft of the Los Angeles Harry Potter theme park. The entire Los Angeles Harry Potter Park covers an area of 12 hectares, equivalent to the size of 16 football fields. Of course, this will be far less than the area of Disneyland, which is often hundreds or hundreds of hectares. "

    "But I think 12 hectares is enough!"

    "In our planning, the main scenes of the park include the town of Hogsmeade, the mysterious forbidden forest, Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry, platform 9 and 3 / 4, and many other places."

    "Visitors can also go deep into the center of the castle, visit the headmaster Dumbledore''s office, and the small shops selling magic supplies in the small town."

    "In addition, visitors can eat in the broken cauldron bar, buy chocolate frogs, butter beer in the shops in Hogsmeade village, and buy magic wands in Diagon Alley. If you don''t think it''s exciting enough, you can experience living in one of the lounges of the four Hogwarts Colleges (Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, hutchpatch, Slytherin) you choose to live in at night. "

    In short, Harry Potter theme park and Disneyland are very different!

    Disneyland tends to be a huge playground;

    On the contrary, Harry Potter theme park is more fan oriented amusement, which can restore the scene scale of the movie to the greatest extent;

    The two take root from different angles!

    "I don''t deny what you said is very good, but the premise of everything is the success of the Harry Potter series, you know," he said

    "The first movie in the Harry Potter series, with a global box office of more than $800 million, isn''t it enough to prove its influence?" he asked immediately

    "Man, the second movie in the Harry Potter series hasn''t been shown yet."

    Wall Dylan pointed out without hesitation.

    Who can guarantee that the future series of Harry Potter can achieve such a high box office?

    "Ha ha!"

    "Drucker said with a laugh:" if the second and third Harry Potter movies are released now, do you think it''s necessary for me to tell you this now? Investment is nothing more than taking the lead. You miss it, and some people want to participate. "

    Wall Dylan, vice president of Goldman Sachs, said in a flash.

    More Than This......

    Zucker''s chief assistant, Alexander, personally took out a document, which recorded in detail the recent visitor list of Golden Dawn entertainment group.

    Merrill Lynch;

    Lehman Brothers;

    Bear Stearns;

    wait. Yes, the major investment banks on Wall Street are also paying attention to the project investment of Harry Potter theme park. Even commercial investment banks such as Citibank, Wells Fargo and HSBC want to give generously.

    Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle and other high-tech companies have been in frequent contact with Zhuke in recent years.

    Many people want to take a share in the Harry Potter Park project. In other words, Zhuke does not lack co-author, but strong and beneficial co-workers.

    "What do you think now, Dylan?" chuckled Zucker, spreading his hands

    "Ah ~"

    What can I say?

    Dren sighed, but said: "Zhuke, the whole wall street people say you are a cunning fox, but now it seems that you are more like a cunning and experienced hunter."

    "So, what do you want to say?"

    "You''ve won," he said solemnly
