Chapter 1633: Dissuasion
Of all the people Lei Shidong knew, Yin Jun's experience was the most legendary.
At the beginning, even if Yin Jun tried his best to buy United Arts Films and Disney, he couldn't stand on his feet in Hollywood.
Thanks to the fact that he has produced good blockbuster movies along the way, he has been able to gradually develop and grow, and finally gain everyone's recognition.
At that time, because he was excluded by the six major Hollywood companies, Yin Jun also needed Lei Shidong's theater chain to help contact the cinema to release the movie.
But now you see, the North American branch of the Kirin Group not only stands firmly in the position of the first giant in Hollywood, but even swallows the ABC TV news network in one go, and once again greatly expands its media territory!
This path taken by Yin Jun is what Lei Shidong dreamed of!
It's just that now Lei Shidong is still dreaming and working hard, and Yin Jun has turned his identity as a media giant into reality.
Such a successful person will definitely not rely on luck, people are definitely born to eat this bowl of rice.
Lei Shidong is suspicious and decisive, but when he encounters such an important acquisition, the first person he thinks of asking is Yin Jun.
It happened that Yin Jun came to Hollywood to attend the Oscars, and Lei Shidong followed, hoping to get some guidance.
People in their sixties asked young people in their twenties for advice, but Lei Shidong didn't feel ashamed at all.
As long as he can achieve his goal, it doesn't matter how low his posture is.
As a result, Yin Jun directly denied his idea as soon as he came up, and bluntly said that MGM couldn't do it.
Such a resolute attitude made Lei Shidong a little surprised.
In his opinion, even if Yin Jun is not optimistic, he will not say it so decisively.
As everyone knows, Yin Jun's attitude is quite gentle.
Where is MGM a pit so simple?!
It's a sinkhole!
From now on, no company that takes over MGM will succeed.
Even after 2012, under the leadership of Telescope Entertainment, they continuously invested in the "Hobbit" trilogy and "007: Skylight Crisis", but it was completely difficult to return, and they could only be acquired by Sony Entertainment for the second time.
This time Sony Entertainment was smart, they learned from the previous boss Kerkorian's method, and wanted to directly strip the useful assets, and then throw away the rest along with the debt.
But where are the Americans willing to agree?
You bought the company and you have to be responsible for it!
In particular, MGM is still the pride of the Americans, and it cannot be ruined like this.
As a result, Sony Entertainment's head was very painful, and they didn't know how to deal with it.
That's for later.
Besides, MGM in the previous life still has 007 as a lifesaver to defend himself.
But MGM in this life did not acquire Lianyi Film Company, and Lianyi Film Company was acquired by Yin Jun's Kirin Group, so they did not own the copyright of 007.
Without 007, what's the use of relying on MGM's last twenty or thirty years of film libraries and copyrights?
It's a burden to buy!
So many debts to be repaid, so many people to feed...... All of this has to be settled with money!
Once MGM's income is not enough to pay for these payments, it is not impossible to go bankrupt.
At that time, the billions of dollars invested by Lei Shidong will all be wasted!
However, Yin Jun couldn't say these words to Lei Shidong yet.
However, although Lei Shidong is ungrateful and very selfish, he is his friend.
Moreover, in the past few years, Lei Shidong has spared no effort to actively promote and release Lianyi Films and Disney Films, and has made great contributions to the continuous development and growth of the two companies.
With these, Yin Jun wanted to help him with this.
Not to mention that if Lei Shidong takes charge of Paramount in the future and buys CBS TV News Network, it is equivalent to another media giant.
If such a group were his allies, it would be much easier for Yin Jun to do things in Hollywood.
Yin Jun is not afraid that Lei Shidong will cross the river and tear down the bridge, because he is a smart person, as long as the Kirin Group does not lose power and maintains a leading position, Lei Shidong will not dare to partner with others to deal with the Kirin Group.
"I think Summer, you're in a bit of a hurry. In Lei Shidong's thoughts, Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice, "You acquired Viacom last year, and you should have greatly developed and consolidated the entertainment and cinema business, so that you will have the capital to think about the Big Seven in Hollywood! Now you don't have so much money, even if you borrow my money, are you really sure to get MGM right?"
Don't say anything, I can do it, you can do it. To be honest, I think that the booth of Lianyi is much cleaner than MGM, and it is also smaller, which is the most suitable for me to re-develop! MGM's structure is too big, and many things are difficult to return, if you really want to get in, you can't get it right without a decade or two of hard work to sort it out!
Instead of spending a lot of time with MGM, it is better for you to develop the industry you are good at, and then accumulate enough strength to win the Hollywood studios that can really make you a lot of money in one fell swoop...... For example, Paramount, which I just mentioned, is a very promising company, ten times better than MGM!"
Lei Shidong was originally full of excitement, and came to Yin Jun to ask for advice, and even asked Yin Jun how to manage a large entertainment media group.
As a result, Yin Jun directly gave him a slap in the face, which made him wake up from his dreams.
But Lei Shidong was not angry, but very happy.
Fortunately, there is such a friend as Yin Jun, who gave him a detailed analysis of the gains and losses, and made him understand that the Big Seven in Hollywood are definitely not so easy to have.
Thinking about it carefully, he has developed too smoothly in the past few years, so he was so tempted by others that he almost fell into it.
If MGM is really as good as they say, why has it been looking for someone to take over for the past two years?
I have only bought Viacom for less than half a year, but with a little experience in managing and running entertainment companies, I dream of eating one of the seven Hollywood giants in one bite like Yin Jun and becoming a Hollywood giant?
That's too easy, right?
If it were that easy, wouldn't everyone be able to become a stunning figure in Hollywood, and everyone could become the next Yin Jun?
Apparently that's impossible!
Success that everyone can succeed in is definitely not success.
Behind the seemingly delicious taste, there is actually a trap.
Lei Shidong was also self-made, and when he thought that he had such a bad thought, he almost ruined the family business he had worked hard to earn for decades, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his head.
Of course, Lei Shidong didn't think about whether Yin Jun was exaggerating.
However, Lei Shidong immediately reacted, and Yin Jun didn't have any reason to scare him.
Even if Lei Shidong bought MGM, there was no threat to Yin Jun.
Don't forget.
Yin Jun's previous opponents include supergiants like Warner Bros. and Universal Movies!
Behind them, they are also supported by media giants, and the scale is larger than the current North American branch of Kirin Group.
But what is the result?
Haven't you been by the North American branch of the Kirin Group?
Even the two giants of Warner and Universal are not opponents, and they have only swallowed MGM's company by themselves, how can they be a threat to him?
So what Yin Jun said is his truest judgment of MGM.
This also proves that Yin Jun regards himself as a friend.
Thinking of this, Lei Shidong nodded solemnly, "Ah Jun, I probably understand what you mean! After I go back, I will definitely investigate again to see if it is really MGM has something to hide! And for the entire acquisition plan, I will also carry out the most rigorous planning and calculation." ”
"It's best to be careful. Yin Jun smiled slightly, "Somer, but you're a little uninteresting...... My IMAX screen is now installed in many movie theaters, when will your national entertainment company theater chain be able to change costumes on a large scale?"
Lei Shidong is also a good actor.
Hearing this, he immediately showed a wry smile, "Ouch, don't you know! Our theater chains are all bitter, and there is not much profit to make these costume changes...... The same is true for my own movie theaters, which are still in an unstable period due to massive expansion in the past few years, where would I dare to install such an expensive IMAX screen?"
"IMAX will definitely make a lot of money in the future!" Yin Jun coughed lightly, "You see I avoided letting you fall into a pit today, why don't you have to be funny?"
Facing Yin Jun's sudden scoundrel, Lei Shidong couldn't cry or laugh.
But what Yin Jun said is also true, everyone has said it, and they don't say anything at all, it's really not like words.
"Okay, okay!" Lei Shidong could only agree, "I'll try my best to arrange, and strive to install 50 screens within this year, so I should be satisfied, right?"
"Enough friends!"
Yin Jun laughed, "Don't worry, we will step up the production of IMAX movies in the past two years, and many audiences have also agreed with this wonderful viewing mode, so its development will get better and better, you just wait to make a lot of money, and then go buy your favorite company!"
"I hope so!"
Thinking that he has made so much money in the past few years by relying on the movies of the North American branch of Kirin Group, Lei Shidong also laughed.
The teenager didn't tell Lei Shidong, in fact, IMAX has been in the promotion period for several years, and there is no way to make a lot of money.
It's just that he needs more movie theaters to join in, so that movie theaters can force other movie companies to shoot more IMAX movies.
Although the other six major companies in Hollywood have made a lot of IMAX movies one after another when they see that IMAX movies are very profitable and very popular, these are not enough.
With the current development momentum of IMAX, ten years later, at least 50 IMAX movies will be released every year to maintain the improvement of IMAX technology and make it continue to climb in all aspects.
Only when the technology gets better and better, the audience will pay for these new technologies.
Isn't it?
