Alibaba Jack Ma movie is already in the works. Bruce Feirstein has already finished the script entitled "Alibaba".
According to the report of Deadline, Feirstein has completed the story that begins from Ma's childhood to the time he founded Alibaba in his garage in 1999 and battled against eBay in China. The script also discussed Richard Nixon's influence in his life that started when the former US president visited Hangzhou in 1972.
In a report by The Hollywood Reporter, Janet Yang, who will produce the Alibaba Jack Ma movie, is planning to set up an international co-production. Yang has worked with Oliver Stone and partnered with Lisa Henson. She has been producing flicks,like "Shanghai Calling" (directed by Daniel Hsia) in China. It is in this country where she met Feirstein, who was then rewriting and producing domestic audience films that include Zhang Jiarui-directed movie "Hong He" ("Red River"). He was also writing about business for "Vanity Fair". Feirstein has also written hit films, which include two James Bond movies - "Golden Eye" (1995) and "The World Is Not Enough" (1999).
Ma has been in the headlines this week as it raised its IPO total to $25 billion in its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange - thereby breaking all records. He thanked Americans for giving their trust to the company and for raising "a little money so we can do more things", CNN reported.
As he spoke to a panel discussion at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, Ma expressed his goal to extend help to small businesses. "The secret here is helping those who want to be successful. Help young people. Help small guys because small guys will be big. Young people will have the seeds you bury in their minds and when they grow up they will change the world."
Alibaba Jack Ma movie will be shot in China and in some parts of America.
