Chapter 694 The Nature of the Media Industry

William White's big investment has in fact raised the bar for the film industry. Even if you are an industry giant, I am afraid you need to weigh the price of direct competition.

As for those small companies, if they want to mix well in the film industry, the difficulty is undoubtedly against the sky. Of course, as long as you have the ability to fool you into the money, you can still try it.

No matter how good William White is 13, he can't fill 20,000 screens. The overall box office data of the United States is increasing year by year, even in the face of negative economic growth this year, it is still growing.

"Paramount wants to sell it?tsk, what a big appetite, who is this so bullish?" William White was a little strange, they seemed to have a good life, how could they sell.

It is said that Hollywood is how, in fact, only Paramount is a Hollywood film company in the true sense. A bunch of companies, including White Pictures and Disney, don't have their registered addresses in Los Angeles or even in California.

Don't look at California's money, the economy is also good. California's taxes are basically the highest in the country.

"Boss, it's Lei Shidong, the one who started from the theater. ”

"Wait, Filson, this old fellow should be in his seventies, right? Is this planning to start a second business?"

"Yes, boss, don't underestimate this guy either. This time, the support of the Jewish consortium was strong. Moreover, Paramount does have plans to sell it. The only problem now is that his wife seems to be planning to separate from him. ”

Poof, William White laughed directly, he really didn't expect that there would be such an interesting thing.

Hey, no, MTV's creativity was cut off by him. This old guy shouldn't have this capital. What the hell is going wrong.

"Filson, is the cinema chain very profitable now? This guy named Lei Shidong still has any business. ”

"Video rentals, TV stations, and theaters. The theater chain in the past two years has indeed been very profitable. "Filson said in his heart, you don't look at how much money you make. Cinema companies don't just have box office, don't they still sell popcorn? By the way, there are also all kinds of consoles, and you should know how profitable these things are.

"I see, he's got his eye on Paramount's library. The money spent now will soon be earned. ”

"Yes, boss, plus Paramount's distribution channels, he is no less of a threat than Time Warner. ”

"Well, these guys are really tenacious. By the way, how is Murdoch doing now?"

"He's already on his own, except for News Corp and Fox, the old guy is an empty shell. Even in these two companies, he has a very low stake. ”

"Well, I see, let's see if they sell the film library, and besides, help me about MGM's Corkerian. ”

"Okay, boss, I got it. ”

Filson doesn't need to ask to know that buying a film library is. You sell the most valuable thing, and the ghost will continue to buy it. As for that Corkrian, this thing is just a churning stick, and if the boss flickers here, he will definitely stir it up.

William White knew perfectly well that no matter how much he coveted it, Paramount would not be able to sell it to him. The combination of White Pictures and Disney is already very scary, if you add Paramount, his statue of William White can stand on the Walk of Fame.

Movies, television, newspapers and magazines, it seems to be irrelevant, but it is not. He William White started out in film, and then in television, newspapers and magazines. Today, White Media is a behemoth.

Murdoch is different, the old guy started in the print media. Then there's TV, and finally there's film. Obviously, his thoughts are similar to those of William White, except that he and William White have different views on the question of who comes first and who comes later.

As it turned out, William White was a good move. From film and television to print media, Murdoch was beaten. At the moment, I'm afraid I can't even count as an opponent.

Lei Shidong has been thinking about Paramount for three years, and he has been observing Hollywood for three years. William White's every move, he observed very carefully. After so many years, he summed up four words, that is, content is king.

In the current situation, Lei Shidong knew that he couldn't wait. William White, the bastard, is obviously using the capital advantage to crush the opponent, if he doesn't buy a ticket to enter the game, no one in this world can resist William White at all.

The news of a movie made with 200 million dollars fell into an eerie silence throughout Hollywood. No one knows what a $200 million dollar movie should look like, and no one knows how to make a $200 million movie.

However, there is a common belief that William White will not necessarily lose.

The global box office has exceeded 100 million, which is considered a good movie in Hollywood. When it comes to William White, 500 million dollars is the profit and loss line. Nima, this gap really can't be relieved.

Go and blame it?

Don't be funny, low-budget movies, you are not opponents. If you have the ability, you have a higher rate of return than the home ghost before talking.

William White's success has shown the world what the media industry should do.

Yes, you all have your own agendas, and you all want to carry private goods. Making money is not your first choice, how to pour chicken soup into the world is your job.

William White is now telling everyone with practical actions that you are all wrong. The most important thing in the media is the content, who the hell cares who killed whom you used to do.

To be honest, the level of education in the United States is seriously polarized. Ordinary people can settle accounts enough, and their mastery of historical and geographical knowledge can only be described as ridiculous. If you talk to these people about what they don't have, it's better to tell them that the cat is cuter.

Elites don't necessarily like it.

No kidding, don't talk about it now, even in the era of self-media, in addition to those traffic stars, the animals with the highest number of clicks must be.

Besides, what TV the elite like to watch is useful, and the life of this group of guys must be very fulfilling, and it won't help your ratings much.

Obviously, it is not difficult for other giants to see it, Lei Shidong understands it. Looking at William White holding a lot of money, the old guy's eyes were red.

"Henry, what does my damn wife say?"

Seeing that the old guy was unscrupulous, Henry didn't plan to persuade him. The two in-laws are like this, and you can be regarded as capable.

"Somer, if possible, you'd better reconcile. After this lawsuit, it can't be solved without 500 million. ”

"Five hundred million?" Lei Shidong felt his liver tremble. Jews are also more generous, but Somerray Shidong is not among them.

If there is a stingy leaderboard in this world, the old guy must be at the top. For the sake of the beautiful knife, he went to court with his wife, and he meowed several times. For the sake of the beautiful knife, he tore his face with his son. Haha, this guy, only Grande can be compared.

Of course, the stinginess here is only about his attitude towards people. The family doesn't want to use his money, and the people in the company can't do it. In one of the most typical cases, Viacom's reporter was kidnapped in Iraq and later torn up because Lei Shidong refused to pay the ransom.

At the same time, he was tied up, and because someone paid a ransom, it didn't take long for him to be released.

In the end, Viacom's reasoning is barely explained, as paying the ransom does encourage such behavior. Well, even if the explanation makes sense, everyone in the circle knows that the old guy is reluctant to pay. It's okay to say that 350,000,000 is okay, and if you catch 350,000,000, you won't give it to his son.
