With the end of the Golden Globe Awards, Hollywood has another blockbuster acquisition news - Disney has acquired the Sriwood Animation Studio, which originally belonged to New Universal, for $2.2 billion in cash.

Disney is a listed company, and it will take three months to go through a set of processes for such a large-scale acquisition.

The acquisition was finalized in mid-January, and at the end of January, it was hastily announced, and the purpose was obvious.

When New Universal was questioned by wind critics, Disney showed a firm attitude of support behind the scenes!

In this sense, Donn admires Michael Eisner's style.

The hegemony and dictatorship are not fake, but they also dare to act!

He can openly ridicule Steve Jobs for piracy in Congress, and dare to show the alliance between Disney and New Universal in the whole society.

In any case, Donn did them a great favor by selling Silkwood to Disney.

In this regard, Eisner is much stronger than Lei Shidong.

With the acquisition of Discovery Media and the sale of Silkwood Animation Studio, New Globe Group started the new year with a cash flow of $2.5 billion on its books.

Among them, the North American headquarters had 1.46 billion US dollars, and the overseas headquarters had 1.04 billion US dollars.

Not much.

If we want the aircraft carrier New Globe to set sail at full speed, we will have to rely on debt to get by.

Is it going public to raise money?

Tang En communicated with the chief financial officer, and the other party said that New Global's current debt is too low, and it is suspected of making money when it is listed now. It would be easier to ask for the debt to be raised to about $15 billion and then apply for listing.

The more debts you owe, the more you are uncles, and it is really a common truth.

Fortunately, with the acquisition of MGM, New Universal's layout in the film and television entertainment department has been completed by 90%, which is almost complete.

MGM's delisting process is not yet over, but the Ministry of Justice and the Securities and Futures Commission have already reviewed it.

In other words, MGM is now a real new global industry!

Don can also truly exercise the power to kill MGM.

At this time, Don was sitting in his office, and at his desk stood Amy Pascal, listening to the teachings.

""Fatal Charm"? Such an old-fashioned and boring project can still pass the review? No wonder MGM's performance is so poor, and the production department's film selection vision is not as good as IMDB's film critics!"

On Donn's desk, there was a thick stack of scripts, as many as seven or eight.

Under Amy Pascal's stunned eyes, Donn opened a script, glanced at it casually, and threw it directly into the trash, with a lot of disdain.

"Boss, no...... Don't you need to look into it any more?"

Amy Pascal was a little flustered.

Just a few glances and then knock out a project, that's too hasty, right?

This is MGM's production department, which has worked hard to save up, at least we must respect the fruits of other people's labor, right?

"No, those shit, fire them all as soon as possible!"

Don was prescient, and he had a negative impression of the current group of people in power at MGM.

In the previous life, after MGM was acquired by Sony at a high price, it once had high hopes.

The result?

Even with the support of a huge copyright library and "007", the losses are getting more and more serious!

In 2009, it could only file for bankruptcy reorganization.

Later, Sony was ruthless, relinquished his control over MGM, replaced all the people in the Cork Cockrian department, and let a group of newcomers take charge of MGM.

That's what happened later.

The current MGM is still controlled by Cork Corkrian's descendants, and instead of distinguishing them one by one, it is better to drive them all out, which is simple and trouble-free.

"Is 'Beauty Shop' so familiar?" Donn picked up another script and asked pretendly.

Amy Pascal hurriedly said: "In 2002, MGM launched a movie "Barbershop", which was from a male perspective and did well at the box office, and this year "Barbershop 2" will be released. The movie "Beauty Shop" is equivalent to the women's version of "The Barbershop". ”

"Hmm. Don nodded, "This is okay, since it's a female perspective...... Just leave it to Rose Pictures to operate, which can be regarded as supporting women's rights. ”

"Good. ”

Tang En frowned and said sarcastically: "It's still bigger than the sky, why don't you go to the sky? It's ridiculous! If this kind of garbage movie is made, it will be a waste of time!"

This time, I didn't even read the content of the script, and with only one title, it was directly eliminated.

Amy Pascal was about to cry, and she stubbornly admonished, "Donne, you ...... Are you serious?"

"Huh?" Donn's eyes widened.

Amy Pascal wanted to cry without tears and said, "Even if MGM's production department is ...... The level is relatively poor, but you can't be so hasty, right? The preliminary preparation of these projects has cost a lot of money. ”

"When there is a continuous interruption, you will suffer from it!" Don snorted and waved his hand, "I know it in my heart! Amy, you haven't been working at New Globe for a long time, and you may not know how I work." It's good for you to implement my decision on the movie, and controversy is a waste of time. ”

Amy Pascal was speechless.

Next, "Jimini Glick's Cheerleading", "Out of Swimming", and "Madison" were cut in half one after another.

Don En did almost the same way, flipping through the script a few times at random, and throwing it directly into the trash.

It seems that taking a second look is a burden.

"The remaining two films, it's definitely fine. "Cool to the End" is a sequel to "Shorty Man", a dark comedy. "Devil May Cry" is a remake of the old film in the 80s, and it is also very much expected by the market. ”

These are Amy Pascal's two favorite movies, for fear of being eliminated by Donn in a daze, so I quickly recommend it.

"Oh. ”

Don blinked and opened the script of "Cool to the End".

Amy Pascal said: "The crew of this movie has been prepared, and the director is Gary Gray, who has filmed "Ace vs. Ace" and "Stealing the Day", which is very powerful. The male lead continues to be played by John Travolta, and the female lead is his partner Uma Thurman in "Vulgarity......"

"Wait!" Don interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "The heroine can't do it, she has to change." ”

Amy Pascal was stunned, "Huh?"

Don said: "'Vulgar' and 'Kill Bill' have imprisoned the image of Uma Thurman, who is an actor in cult films. I see it says the budget is $53 million, and it's a commercial film, and you have to choose an actress with market appeal. ”

"Who?"

"Charlize Theron. ”

At last night's Golden Globes dinner, Donn spoke to Charlize Theron. She took a film offer from Paramount and asked her to make a sci-fi action film, "Magic Woman".

This is a big bad movie!

Don En warned her on the spot that she couldn't take it!

As a friend, he couldn't have watched Paramount pull her into the fire pit.

Paramount wanted to jump, so he jumped on his own.

Don't hurt anyone!

Let Charlize Theron and director Gary Gray work together again to make this "Cool to the End".

Amy Pascal blinked and said with a smile: "She is a big hit for actresses this year, she can participate, of course, the best, is that in terms of production budget, it will increase by 10 million, and Theron's salary is much higher." ”

"This movie, transfer it to Universal Pictures, you can handle it. Don waved his hand and picked up the script and plan of "Devil Cry and Howl" again.

"Huh?"

Tang En first looked at the plan and saw a person's name, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he subconsciously used a carbon pen to draw a circle on the name.

Chloe Moretz, a stunning little Lori!

Amy Pascal stepped forward and glanced at it, and her face was a little strange: "Boss, she'...... She's only 7 years old, if you're in the mood, you can pick that Rachel, I've seen her, she's a pretty girl......"

"What do you think?" Don glared at her, then turned pale and coughed, "Rachel...... Which Rachel?"

"Rachel Nichols, although she has not debuted for a few years, she has the nickname of 'three highs' in the industry. ”

"Three highs?"

"Well, highly educated, tall, and visionary. She is a double major in mathematics and economics from Columbia University, and she is 1.78 meters tall, and she can't look down on many suitors in the circle. ”

Donn smiled, "Interesting. ”

"Or ...... Shall I make a call and ask her to come over?"

"Oh, don't you say she's high-eyed?"

Amy Pascal laughed, "No matter how high it is, it can't be higher than you." ”

"Forget it, highly educated actresses are a little arrogant, like Nat, if you can't touch it, you won't touch it, and you're tired. Donn waved his hand, then took a pen and drew another circle in the cast list, "Ryan Monoz is the actor, right? You can work with the girl Chloe Moretz and focus on training. ”

"Sure enough!"

Amy Pascal was disdainful.

Men, it's all Lolita!

However, her face was solemn, and she said, "What about "007"?"

This is MGM's most important intellectual property!

As the head of Universal Pictures, she certainly wants to win "007" to Universal Pictures.

"Leave it to Don Pictures. They are my old team, running big projects, more mature and more experienced. Donn said lightly.

Amy Pascal had 10,000 imbalances in her heart.

Descendants of the horses, sure enough, there is special treatment.

The current Tang En Pictures is completely implementing Tang En's explosive strategy, and the production cost of each movie launched will exceed 100 million US dollars.

In contrast, Universal Pictures, although producing more, is profitable and more profitable.

Of course, even so, it is much better than when she was at the helm of Columbia Pictures in the past.

The position of vice president of the New Global Women's Rights Foundation alone is very prominent.
