To the disappointment of Yu Jing and other fans who were following the Directors Guild Awards, the best director in the drama category was finally won by the artist's director, Michael Hazanavicius.

At the Golden Globe Awards, the artist completely lost to the rural teacher, but it is clear that the directors of the Directors Guild still prefer pure literary film artists.

As a result, Peng Yichen's possibility of winning this year's Oscars has suddenly become unclear again.

Because in history, there are only 5 directors who won the best director of the directors' guild, but did not win the Oscar.

Although this year's Oscars, the list of nominees will not be revealed until February 17.

But in the eyes of the media in Huaxia and Xingqi Country, it is almost certain that Peng Yichen will be shortlisted for the four awards of Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture this time, and the two awards of Best Shooting and Best Special Effects Technology will inevitably be shortlisted.

In other words, rural teachers will be shortlisted for at least 6 Oscars.

It's just that in the end, no one can know if this movie and Peng Yichen can win a few awards.

The Director's Guild Awards ceremony, the day after the curtain came down, in the former destination crew, Natalie, the real protagonist, is finally about to appear.

……

Just when Peng Yichen was filming his pre-destination in Las Vegas.

Huaxia's merger and acquisition of Time Warner has finally come to an end.

Five film and television, real estate and Internet companies, including Huaxia's Huimin Film and Television Group, Shengda Real Estate Development Group, Forty Thieves Group, Hailang Group, and Pain News Group, jointly acquired the shares of Time Warner Group 41.

plus 15 shares in Peng Yichen's hands.

Huaxia has more than 56 shares of Time Warner.

Plus 7 shares in Robinov's own hands, and 12 shares that can be indirectly controlled.

They have a stake in 75 Time Warner.

This share, without even having a shareholders' meeting, can drive Bix directly out of the group company.

That's exactly what they did.

On February 2, 2012, Bickers, the president of Time Warner, was officially notified by the board of directors that he was fired.

Even if he still has 15 shares in his hand, if he is unwilling to sell them, then the board of directors has the right to freeze his right to pay dividends and vote.

In other words, even if he held these stocks in his own hands, they were just a pile of waste paper.

Only selling it is his best choice now.

Bix, a tycoon who has dominated Hollywood for many years, did not make too many struggles, and he sold all the shares in his hand to Peng Yichen at a price 10 higher than the market price.

Since then, Peng Yichen has the stock of Time Warner 30 in his hands.

This may not seem like much, but it is already the limit of what an individual can control the stock of such a huge listed group.

You must know that the voting rights and execution rights of 41 Times Warner shares acquired by Huaxia Enterprises have all been authorized to Peng Yichen and Chen Jing Film Company.

In other words, in addition to submitting the group's annual report and voting on major matters at the general meeting of shareholders every year, Peng Yichen is equivalent to controlling the shares of Time Warner 71.

As a result, he now has almost all of Time Warner's management power.

dismissal or promotion of any person in the group,

US$200 million invested in any of the following projects,

He can make a decision without consulting anyone at all.

This kind of power is much greater than Bicks' power in Time Warner.

Since Time Warner was founded in 1918, no one has ever had such a right.

But Peng Yichen deserves this kind of power, because the profit of one of his movies can be worth the profit of Time Warner for five years.

But the acquisition wasn't all smooth sailing.

The paparazzi who followed Peng Yichen at the beginning finally sold the news about Huaxia's acquisition of Time Warner at a sky-high price.

The next day, the news that "Time Warner was maliciously acquired by Huaxia Company" spread throughout the Star Flag Country.

Previously, Huaxia Company had always borrowed an offshore company and had been acting as an agent for a local company in Xingqi Country to carry out this acquisition.

Although many people in the financial circle of the Star Flag Country have long known that this merger and acquisition was initiated by the Chinese people.

But as long as they can make money, none of these people spread the news.

But after the news media exposed the news, some people in Xingqi began to boil, and they didn't want to see the largest film company in Xingqi Country being in the hands of the Chinese.

The government of the Star Flag State has also begun to use various legal and diplomatic means to review the merger and acquisition of Huaxia Enterprises.

And the reaction of Huaxia enterprises is very fast, they have long known the news, and it is impossible to keep it hidden.

Huimin Film and Television Group, Shengda Real Estate Development Group, Forty Thieves Group, Hailang Group, and Pain News Group immediately set up a strong legal team in Xingqi Country to defend their mergers and acquisitions.

At the same time, Huaxia Enterprise also officially held a press conference to announce Time Warner's latest shareholding structure.

But they abbreviated that this was a normal "investment in shares" behavior, not a merger and acquisition.

Because Time Warner's shares were divided into 6 shares by 6 Huaxia companies and 1 Huaxia director, no one or company has absolute control over Time Warner.

Of course, even the children of the Star Flag Country don't believe in this statement.

Soon, the government of the Star Flag State filed a bill with "threatening national security" and organized the Foreign Investment Committee of the Star Flag State to conduct a strict review of the behavior of Huaxia's acquisition of Time Warner.

At the same time, it announced that it would suspend Huaxia Enterprises from exercising the rights of Time Warner shareholders.

On February 10, 2012, Huimin Film and Television Group, Shengda Real Estate Development Group, Forty Thieves Group, Hailang Group, Pain News Group, and Chenjing Film Company jointly issued an open letter to the government of the Star Banner State, denying the other party's accusations about security issues and threatening that if the government arbitrarily suspended the normal rights of the shareholders of a group company, the Star Flag State would no longer be able to gain the trust of any foreign investor.

In other words, there will be a large number of foreign investors who will withdraw their capital from the Star Flag State.

This threat cannot be ignored by the government of the Star Flag State.

Because in this time and space, the largest group of foreign investors in Xingqi is Huaxia investors.

If a large number of Chinese investors really withdraw their funds, then it is very likely that there will be another financial crisis in the Star Flag Country.

This is something they dare not bear.

The government of the Star Flag State could only reluctantly issue an announcement.

It said that Huaxia Enterprises can still exercise the rights of the company's shareholders before the results of the investigation are out.

The Intelligence Committee of the House of Representatives of the Star Flag State, which launched a comprehensive investigation on February 12, released its investigation report on the 20th.

According to the report, due to various reasons, Huaxia enterprises generally have the problems of opaque management and bureaucratic organizational structure, so it is very difficult to understand the extent and methods of Huaxia's influence and control of domestic enterprises.

At the same time, the committee held that six companies, including Huimin Film and Television Group, Shengda Real Estate Development Group, Forty Thieves Group, Hailang Group, Pain News Group, and Chenjing Film Company, did not cooperate well with their investigation and were unwilling to explain the relationship between Shengda Real Estate Group and Hailang Group and the Huaxia government.

Therefore, they believe that it is necessary to stop the merger and acquisition of Time Warner by Huaxia Enterprises.

This report has been released, and various rumors have been released in the film and entertainment industry circles of Huaxia and Xingqi countries.

People in the Star Flag Country speculated that this was a means for the Chinese government to expand the influence of international public opinion, so the Star Flag State government did not want this merger to succeed.

However, people in Huaxia said that this time it was simply the normal expansion of their international business by Huaxia Enterprises, and it was the government of the Star Banner Country that wanted to suppress Huaxia Enterprises and did not want to see Huaxia Enterprises enter the North American market, so they deliberately prevented Huaxia Enterprises from merging with Time Warner.

Anyway, all kinds of rumors are spread all over the world.

Although Huaxia Enterprises has successfully completed the acquisition, the government of the Star Flag State does not accept their application for equity transfer and filing procedures, and the shares in their hands can only take effect within the company, which also makes the acquisition unable to be completely completed.

In this case, Han Sanpin, chairman of the Central Film Group, who promised to support this action, finally made a move.

Han Sanpin directly reported the matter to the Huaxia government, asking the government to safeguard the legitimate commercial interests of Huaxia Film Company in the international market and prevent Huaxia Company from being bullied by foreign governments.

Recently, the Chinese government has been criticized by the government of the Star Flag State on trade, and the trade friction between the two sides has intensified.

This time, the government of the Star Banner State even wanted to block the legitimate business activities of Chinese enterprises.

The Huaxia government immediately exerted strong pressure on the Star Banner State.

An official announcement was issued to warn the government of the Star Flag State that if it violated the TO agreement, it would interfere with Huaxia Enterprises' acquisition of Time Warner's shares.

Then Huaxia will not abide by the TO agreement, and the films of Xingqi Film Company will be restrictively imported, and the co-production policy will also be canceled. Moreover, the trade and investment in China will also be subject to a comprehensive review by the Chinese government.

As soon as this announcement came out, the other 6 major film companies in the Star Flag Country immediately jumped up.

You know, they have already co-produced many movies with Huaxia Film Company.

If you can't enter the Chinese film market, won't you all have to smash it all in your hands.

Other enterprises that have invested and traded in China can't sit still!

A Time Warner is said to be the No. 1 company in the film industry, but compared with other high-tech companies, the market value of that company is only a drop in the bucket.

How can such a "small company" affect the operation and market of these large companies in China?

Huaxia, a market with a population of 1.4 billion, is very important for many Star Flag companies.

In the end, under the dual pressure of external and internal, on February 25, the Intelligence Committee of the House of Representatives of the Star Banner State finally reluctantly announced that all Huaxia enterprises had passed the review and were eligible to acquire the shares of Time Warner.

This confrontation between Huaxia and Xingqi in the film industry finally ended with a comprehensive victory for Huaxia.

Time Warner also ushered in a new era, which belongs to the era of Chinese enterprises and Peng Yichen.

On February 27, Peng Yichen was officially elected as the chairman of the board of directors of Time Warner and assumed the position of president.

Robinoff became CEO of Time Warner Group, and Sun Yizou became CEO of Warner Pictures.

The name of Time Warner's group company was also changed to China Time Warner.

Like Sony Columbia, it has become another entertainment media group company controlled by foreign capital among the seven major Hollywood film companies.

Since then, the whole of Hollywood has also entered a new era.
