Chapter 659: Careless Friendship

At that time, MGM owned half of Hollywood.

Later, it was not well managed, and it was bought by Cork Cockrian.

As a result, the tragedy of MGM began.

Cork Corkrian doesn't understand movies at all, but his mind is clear, he knows the value of MGM's assets, and he has a good hand to play.

He took advantage of MGM's own shooting base covering an area of hundreds of square kilometers to play with real estate.

Since then, the MGM brand has changed from one to two to MGM Pictures and MGM Hotel Group.

His focus is on the MGM Hotel Group!

Every time the hotel group ran into cash flow difficulties, Cork Corkerian would make up for it with MGM Pictures.

Over the decades, MGM Pictures' studios, studios, shooting bases, brokerage companies and other assets have all been sold out.

Even, many props from classic movies were auctioned by him to make money.

The most odious thing is that half of MGM's movie library has also been sold!

All the way around, it fell into the hands of Warner Bros.

With the huge resources and social influence of MGM Pictures, MGM Hotels are getting better and better.

The MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas is the world's largest casino, and even ...... It's going to Asia.

MGM's brand is very loud, and in the final analysis, it still relies on MGM movies.

The better the movie, the higher the MGM brand value.

This brand value is not only MGM Pictures, but also MGM Hotel Group.

Now, New Universal has acquired MGM Pictures, and although the deal is not yet complete, MGM Hotel Group's share price has risen significantly.

It's not that Wall Street is optimistic about Cork Cockrian, it's the investors' recognition of Donn!

MGM Pictures is in the hands of Cork Corkrian, but Don Walker is different, he is almost a god of movies, and the movies he personally participated in the production and planning are almost all blockbusters.

With Don taking over the management of MGM Pictures, the preliminary judgment of the market is obvious - MGM Pictures is about to turn over!

MGM Pictures' turnaround will boost the brand value of "MGM".

When the brand value is high, MGM Hotel Group will naturally be recognized by the capital market.

To put it bluntly, this is a secret trick played by Kirk Cockrian!

This is to let Don work for him!

"That old thing, do you really think I'm going to let him get his way?" Donn said to Bill McNick about MGM Pictures' future plans, his expression grim.

"Do you have an idea?"

"The idea? is actually quite simple. ”

"Huh?"

Tang En said coldly: "I'd rather bend than bend! Want to take advantage of me? No way!"

Bill McNick's cloudy eyes widened, and something came to mind, "You're not going to ...... Closing MGM Pictures?"

"Why not?" Don En's face was indifferent, he had already thought about this issue clearly, "MGM has been founded for 80 years, and after so many turmoil and twists and turns, it is time to die. ”

Bill McNick pouted.

Really!

This kid's personality is still the same as back then!

When he was at the helm of Down Pictures, he was not technically a businessman, just a filmmaker, and now he manages the New Globe Group, and he is a businessman through and through.

But the mind ...... Not commercial at all.

"Warner and Fox have had the intention of acquiring MGM, and their acquisition target is mainly MGM's copyright library. After the acquisition is completed, the film company is closed. But...... We bought MGM Pictures at such a high price, and it just shut down?"

$4.3 billion, just to buy that part of MGM's film and television library, this is really expensive.

Don smiled: "$4.3 billion seems like a lot, but if you take a long-term view, it's not too much." The copyright of "007" alone is worth $2 billion, right? With a library of 4,200 films, this will be a strong guarantee for New Universal. Don't forget, after the acquisition, we will surpass Warner Bros. to become the world's number one studio!"

Bill McNick groaned for a moment, then laughed, "Donn, if we really shut down MGM, that old fellow Corkrian...... Estimated to jump feet. ”

"He has gone from a veteran to a gambling tycoon today, isn't all this relying on MGM? Now that MGM is in my hands, he doesn't want to squeeze out a penny of benefits!" Donn was very resolute.

"What about these people in Hollywood?"

Bill McNick retracted his smile.

Compared with Cork Corkerian, the closure of MGM Pictures will really touch Hollywood filmmakers, especially those with a lot of experience.

MGM ...... It's a memory of a generation.

It's a Hollywood legend.

Donn smiled, "Aren't we working on a film museum?" MGM ...... It's time to go to the museum. ”

"Huh?"

Bill McNick was stunned for a moment, and a somewhat complicated expression immediately appeared on his face.

So it's here!

Everyone thought that Don opened the Film Museum to do good things for Hollywood movies and promote film culture.

At this moment, Bill McNick finally understood that this is not a way out.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Even so, the closure of MGM Pictures may cause a big storm of public opinion." ”

Don hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Well, so close the matter of MGM, don't leak it yet." When MGM Pictures is delisted, all the formalities have been completed, and then it will be announced. When the time comes...... I'm going to see who dares to speak out!"

As long as the acquisition of MGM Pictures is completed, integrating MGM Pictures' film library and film projects, New Universal will become the undisputed number one film giant in the world!

At this time, who dares to stand up?

If you have gas, you have to hold it!

……

Natalie is back after filming Star Wars Prequel 3.

The face is not very good-looking.

Don was a little nervous, constantly comforting, and constantly pleased.

I thought she was angry because of Gal Gadot, or ...... Recently, he has dated more women, and the vinegar is too much.

"Oh, are you bothered? I've said it all, it's none of your business. ”

At home, Natalie is still sulking on the couch.

"It has nothing to do with me, and it doesn't have to do with Gail. She's only 18 years old, and she doesn't dare to see you like this. Don reached out and put his arm around her.

She didn't refuse.

Not bad.

Natalie sighed faintly, "This matter has nothing to do with your woman, it's my carelessness." ”

"What?"

Don was stunned, a little dumbfounded.

Careless dating?

This word can make people think about it.

"What the hell is going on?" Hearing that it had nothing to do with him, Tang En's confidence was enough, and he put up the master's shelf, and asked in a deep voice.

Natalie twisted, "Oh, don't ask, bother." ”

Don frowned, "Someone bullied you?"

"Hmm!"

Natalie let out a heavy "um".

"Damn, who's it? I'll settle accounts with him!" (https:)
