There will be no problem working with LEGO to start an animation studio.

Now Lego is at the darkest moment of its lowest point in history, and the new CEO is eager to lead Lego out of the quagmire.

It is definitely a rare opportunity to cooperate with an entertainment giant like New Universal.

For New Universal, this is also the best time to reach an agreement with Lego.

Because from now on, Lego is no longer the Lego of the past.

The performance has soared, leaving Nangong Dream, Mattel, and Hasbro far behind, and has become the world's largest toy company.

Even Lego toys have surpassed the limits of children and are sought after by many adults.

In his previous life, in order to develop his animation career, Warner cooperated with Lego and was forced to accept a lot of aggrieved conditions. For example, Lego has to participate in the whole process of the production of the movie, Lego has to participate in the dividends of the profits of the movie, Lego has a veto right in the decision-making of the movie, and Warner has no right to participate in the sharing of the sales of toys......

In order to make money, Warner just likes to do this kind of aggrieved thing.

Because of "Harry Potter", he knelt down to JK Rowling, and because of the animated movie, he went to be a grandson of Lego......

For the sake of making money, there is no dignity.

In contrast, Disney is much more powerful.

The battle with Jobs almost broke up with Pixar, the war with George Lucas, which almost ruined the Star Wars series, the strong pressure on Marvel Entertainment and the power to operate independently for Marvel Studios, and the firm split with Netflix and called for the streaming business......

Anyway, Warner's grievances, Don can't accept it.

At this time, Lego is not qualified to make conditions.

New Universal is going to take over the Lego Animation Studio, so let's steal the fun!

As soon as the relevant movies come out, how much brand promotion will it bring to Lego?

Don has a resolute condition, that is, Lego Animation Studios, which must be a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Universal, and Lego is not qualified to point fingers!

Of course, in order to prevent the conflict between film and television content and the values of Lego toys, Lego can have the right to monitor, but in the production of movies, laymen who engage in toys should not be involved.

The relevant dividend conditions will be more complicated.

At least, New Universal will not suffer at this stage!

You can get the maximum profit!

In the entire January film market, there is almost only one voice - "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King".

The film has grossed more than $270 million in North America and $600 million worldwide.

In contrast, Universal's action thriller "Resident Evil 2" is also bleak.

On January 20th, New Globe released a blockbuster news: it spent $3.48 billion to wholly acquire Discovery Communications, a company that has been in a delicate position in the American television industry!

This deal immediately caused an uproar in the media circles.

It's not that I'm surprised by Donn's generosity, but that I'm a loser who laughs at him!

Spending such a large amount of money to buy an Discovery Communication Channel with an average daily rating of less than 0.6% and a market share of less than 1%, is this a loss of mind?

According to the usual M&A cases in the past, the average transaction price was 7.6 times the profit of the acquired company in the current year.

How much did Discovery Communications make in 2003?

$310 million!

Less than one-tenth of the sale price!

Donn Walker, who has always been shrewd, is the one who has been wronged this time!

For a while, Donn, who was already on the cusp of the feminist incident, was once again ridiculed by many professional media.

To say that there is no individual force behind this, no one believes it.

On January 25th, the 61st Golden Globe Awards Dinner began.

The small-budget film "Lost in Translation" received 5 nominations.

Scarlett Johansson, who attended the dinner with Donn, was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for the first time, and there were two to mention.

She was nominated for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy for "Lost in Translation" and Best Actress in a Drama for "The Girl with the Earrings".

She was happy.

Don also seems to be in a good mood, greeting many directors and stars, and does not seem to be affected by the recent turmoil in the slightest.

"I heard that Discovery Channel is expensive?"

Sofia Coppola is dressed up tonight and in high spirits.

Compared to the media's ridicule of Donn, Sofia Coppola's life is comfortable.

"Lost in Translation" cost only $5 million to shoot a stunning effect, grossing $110 million worldwide, and has even more artistic value. Not to mention the Golden Globe Awards, with the current awards season's reviews and heat, even if it is an Oscar, there is a chance!

Of course, the jackpot is unlikely.

This year's awards season is destined to be a one-man show for "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King".

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive at all!"

Don shook his head repeatedly.

The price of $3.48 billion looks high. However, if the price is not high, how can it be possible to convince the shareholders behind the intricate and complex and entangled interests of the company?

Sofia Coppola asked curiously, "Then why do you say that out there?"

Don scoffed, "It's because they're stupid!"

"Just talk nonsense. ”

Sofia Coppola gave him a blank look.

Tang En said lightly: "Wait and see, hum, the exploration and communication channel is in my hands, and it can play the effect of king bombing, but unfortunately, they can't see it at all." ”

"The effect of the king bomb?"

Sofia Coppola's eyes widened.

"Ahem, a poker game. Forget it, do you have any new plans? Don immediately changed the subject.

"I already have the idea of taking the 18th-century French guillotine queen to finish the script this year. ”

As a female director, Sofia Coppola rarely has the opportunity to direct a mega production. However, as a member of the Coppola family, she has an extremely high pursuit of films.

Her films are all written and directed by herself, which is developing in the direction of master directors.

"Okay, just talk if you need help. Donn nodded.

Sofia Coppola hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "This movie, I want to make it bigger." ”

The success of "Lost in Translation" has made her much more confident than before.

Tang En immediately suddenly smiled and said, "How much investment?"

"$50 million!"

"So much?"

Sofia Coppola frowned, "You don't give?"

Don shook his head and said, "It's not about money. Historical Themes...... I'm afraid it's hard to have too many successes in the box office market, or foreign history. If the cost is too high and the box office pressure is too great, it will not be good for you. ”

"That's $40 million, don't say no, I know, 'Lost in Translation' made $50 million for New Universal! The next movie, I'm going to shoot at the Louvre, I'm going to shoot a masterpiece. Sofia Coppola said lightly.

Tang En pondered for a moment and said, "Well, it's good to try your hand and accumulate some experience in large-scale scenes." ”

"What do you mean?"

"According to the plan, I plan to launch Marvel's first superheroine movie around 2008, which should be Erica. If your level is recognized by the production department, I want you to direct, it will have far-reaching implications. ”

Sofia Coppola was stunned.

Superheroine ...... Marvel Studios ...... The investment in this movie is at least 100 million US dollars, right?

When did a female director take on such a heavy task?

This trust is heavy.

"I ...... Can I?"

"As long as you work hard, you will be able to do it!"

Done's answer was unquestionable.

Patty Jenkins can have the ability to direct "Wonder Woman", but Sophia Coppola cannot? In terms of directing level, Sophia is much better than her.

……

As widely predicted by the media, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is the biggest winner of the Golden Globe Awards, winning four awards in the drama category: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Song, and Best Film Score.

However, "Lost in Translation" directed by Sofia Coppola was not bad, winning three awards in the musical comedy category: Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay.

Sofia Coppola took the stage twice and cried tears of joy.

It is worth mentioning that Charlize Theron won the actress crown without suspense with her superb performance in "The Female Devil".

Don didn't pay attention to the award because ...... He had an uninvited guest by his side - Tom Cruise.

He was nominated for The Last Samurai.

This time, though, he's here to show goodwill.

"Don, CBS's remarks during this period of time are not very favorable to you. ”

"How?"

"I've heard something. ”

Donn's eyes flickered.

Tom Cruise is the great god that Paramount worships, and Paramount and CBS are one family, and there are some things that he will most likely have inside information.

"I don't pay attention to the rumors. ”

In the end, he has been an opponent for so many years, and Don has to put it up on the shelf. In front of him, even Tom Cruise has to pretend to be a grandson.

In recent years, Tom Cruise has been far less prosperous than he was in the nineties.

He didn't have the confidence to continue arguing with Don.

It's time to admit your mistakes.

What kind of status does Tang En have now? Even Lei Shidong has to be soft.

Bow to him, no shame!

"Your position, of course, is not afraid of the gossip. But the image of the New Global Women's Rights Foundation is important, isn't it?" Tom Cruise had his trademark smile on his face, handsome and sunny.

"Oh?" Donn's eyes lit up, it seemed that there was a master behind Tom Cruise this time, "Tell me about it." ”

Tom Cruise lowered his voice, so low that only the two of them could hear it, "There is a revamped comedy show "Wonderful Children's Words" in CBS primetime. The host is Bill Cosby, a well-known black comedian. ”

Tang En's heart shook violently, and his face couldn't help but show a little excitement.

Now, public opinion outside is very unfavorable to him.

It's okay to acquire the Discovery Communication Channel, but it was just a "big wrong" and was laughed at by some so-called experts and professionals for a while.

Mainly, the feminist argument is this.

The New Global Women's Rights Foundation is on the cusp of receiving a $10 million donation.

Don was thinking about how to break the game.

Unexpectedly, Tom Cruise sent a big gift!
