"Bought it? Are you serious?"
This news was no less shocking to Wang Ling than the revelation that Poladi's startup funds had come from Zhang Menglong's grandfather.
Countless organizations had tried to woo that special effects team, including Hollywood's largest special effects company, which even offered $200 million to sign them up, but they were rejected.
Keep in mind, to date, the highest payday for any movie in the world has been $100 million. For a special effects team of less than a hundred people, that was an astronomical figure.
It was clear how stringently this special effects group chose their projects.
"Haven't you heard that 'money talks'?" Zhang Menglong said. "It wasn't expensive, just $1 billion, and they'll work exclusively for me until retirement!"
"Shit!" Wang Ling couldn't help but curse. $1 billion to acquire a special effects team was something probably only Zhang Menglong could afford. "I guess it wasn't that simple, was it?"
