After returning to the hotel, Summer first instructed Robertson to contact his agent in the United States, Michelle, and ask her to come to the hotel to meet her. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info then he went back to the room with Zhong Chuhong.

The so-called little bie is newlywed, of course, there are many things to do.

After feeding Zhong Chuhong several times, I watched her fall asleep, and only then did she put on her clothes and came to the next room in the summer.

"Boss!" Michelle hurriedly got up and greeted when she saw Summer.

"Hmm. Summer nodded, "Please be seated!"

"Thank you, boss!" Michelle sat down and looked at Summer with blazing eyes, "Boss, what do you command?"

"The purpose of my visit to the United States, I think you should also know. Summer said, "How about it, what do you suggest?"

"Boss, which companies are you targeting? If it's a small company, it's relatively easy to acquire, so I'll just talk to them personally." If it goes well, it won't take a month to close the deal.

But if it's an acquisition of a large company, it's not easy, and you need the help of a team. Lawyers, consultants, bankers...... And the acquisition is protracted, and it may take a year or two to negotiate. Michelle introduced.

"Of course, I'm going to buy big companies, and I'm going to have to buy the big six Hollywood companies. Xia smiled slightly, "I can register hundreds of those small companies in minutes, what's the use of buying them." ”

……

Although there are a lot of film companies in Hollywood, there are simply too many of them, but only these six major film companies are really standing.

The reason for this is that they have super strong distribution capabilities, and they have a distribution network all over the United States and the world, and they can sell movies anywhere in the world (excluding the Soviet Union, China, **, etc.). And the stronger the distribution ability, the more the film can be sold at a high price and the more money it can make money.

The second is because they are diverse, in addition to making movies, they are also involved in television, radio, books, magazines, comics, theme parks, etc. In this way, even if a business loses money, it can be compensated for with other money-making projects.

The third is that they all have the support of the consortium behind them. Behind Fox is Murdoch's News Corporation, behind Paramount's Gulf Oil, behind Universal Pictures is American Music, and behind Columbia Pictures is Coca-Cola...... Even if they lose money for a while, with the financial support of the consortium, it will help them tide over the difficulties and create brilliance again.

Other film companies are not as lucky as them, just like the DreamWorks co-founded by the well-known director Spielberg, the well-known producer Jeffrey Katzenberg, and the well-known music tycoon David Geffen, although it has launched a large number of blockbuster movies, such as "Artificial Intelligence", "Cat and Mouse Game", "Memory Rift", "Shrek" and so on, but in the end it still can't avoid the fate of being acquired.

It is because it is only a simple content manufacturer, but the production cost of the film is borne by it alone, and the majority of the revenue is taken by the distribution company, so the risk and benefit are absolutely not proportional.

When a movie makes money, the distribution company takes the lion's share, and when a movie loses, DreamWorks loses the most. And the risk of making a movie is considerable, and even if DreamWorks has a big director like Spielberg, there is no guarantee that every movie will make money.

In fact, in a year or two, DreamWorks lost $3.6 billion. And it does not have the support of large conglomerates, so once it loses, it will fall into a financial crisis, and it will naturally be unable to escape the fate of being acquired.

Summer didn't want to end up like DreamWorks and wasn't satisfied with making a content producer, so she had to buy the big six studios.

And he also knows that spring in Hollywood is coming soon.

One is in the 90s, with the development of special effects technology, the shooting technology of movies will usher in a great leap forward, and the pictures that were difficult to shoot in the past are no longer a problem with the help of digital special effects.

These amazing movies can draw the audience's attention away from video cameras and cable television. After all, watching a movie on TV, how can that kind of visual enjoyment be compared to watching a blockbuster movie on the big screen in a theater.

Second, Hollywood film companies gradually got rid of their dependence on the theatrical box office and focused their profits on follow-up development. For example, videotape, cable TV, theme parks, peripheral product development, and so on.

In the 90s, Hollywood studios earned more from video tapes and cable TV than they did at the box office.

Moreover, because the number of viewers covered by video tapes and cable TV is obviously more than the number of viewers who go to the theater to watch the movie, more audiences are exposed to the movie, which promotes the development of film peripheral products and enhances the value of the movie.

For example, in the 90s, Hong Kong pirated DVDs, which were popular in the mainland, caused a certain amount of loss to the film companies (in fact, the loss was not large, because most of the genuine Hong Kong DVDs could not be imported into the mainland).

But if it weren't for the popularity of those pirated DVDs, it is estimated that most people would not know what kind of characters Wang Taoxian, Cheng Long, and Zhou Yanfa were, let alone that they would later come to the mainland to make money.

Three, in the nineties, the Soviet Union collapsed. The originally closed Eastern European market was suddenly opened, allowing Hollywood studios to gain more than 300 million viewers out of thin air. The market has suddenly increased by nearly one-tenth, and it is also a high-quality customer in developed countries, which naturally greatly increases Hollywood's income.

Therefore, don't look at the fact that Hollywood film companies are having a miserable time now, and they are forced to "sell their bodies", but if they wait a few more years, they will become unattainable "white rich beauty". So if you don't make a move now, you really don't have a chance in the future.

……

"Boss, if that's the case, then we have to have a big team to help us make the acquisition. "Lawyers, consultants, and bankers are all indispensable." ”

"There's a PR team to that too. Summer added, "I'm an outsider after all, and buying Hollywood will upset a lot of people." So I had to have a PR team to help me reduce the pressure of public opinion and clear the obstacles. ”

"Yes, the boss is really thoughtful. Michelle nodded.

"Flattery doesn't need to be said, the team is formed by you, and the acquisition starts as soon as possible. "Summer Road.

"Yes, boss. Michelle nodded hurriedly.

"When do you think you'll see results?" asked Summer again.

"I think it will take at least half a year. Michelle thought for a moment.

"Okay, I'll give you three months. After three months, I have to see the results. Summer nodded, "Otherwise, you can roll up and leave." ”

"Huh?!" Michelle's face wrinkled into bitter melon when he heard this. I knew that it would be nice to say it for a year!
