For MM Group, the second half of the year is still quite good, during the Christmas file, following "Youth Musical", a "Money Grabbing Couple" is a big hit again.

This 977 version of "The Money Robbing Couple" has long been regarded as a classic of comedy because of the interesting plot and outstanding actors, and this film is a classic remake, although the remake is often not as bad as the previous work, but there are highly praised "40-year-old virgin" directors as screenwriters, adding more funny, weird robbery scenes, and most importantly, there is the comedy king Kim Carrey's ever-changing face as a signboard, unique performance style, Exaggerated expressions and body language, the typical genius and idiot hybrid gold style is irreplaceable.

It was released on Christmas Eve on December 21, and won 55 million US dollars at the box office in the first week, as the first Mr. 20 million, Carrey's appeal is huge, this schedule from "Song and Dance Youth", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "King Kong" three melee to "New Money Grabbing Couple" four melee battles.

Two of them are owned by MM Group, and several films in a row have been successful, coupled with an ambitious film plan for next year, many evaluation agencies on Wall Street believe that the acquisition of MM from Columbia and MGM has almost gotten out of the clouds and adverse effects of mergers and acquisitions, and has begun to get on the right track.

With the increase in competition, it has long been recognized that a single film company cannot be sustained, MGM is hanging on to a life to live miserably, and Paramount was acquired by Viacom in 93 years and became the last giant company to be acquired by the media group.

At that time, Soni, through the acquisition of Columbia Pictures, transformed from a manufacturing company to a media company, and after the film and television resource business was divested this year, it returned to the prototype.

MM, which has inherited Sooni's film and television resources, is essentially no different from a large production company because of the lack of publicity platforms, such as TV networks, home broadband, radio, newspapers, magazines and other channels, and is more likely to be sniped and blocked.

For Soni to be sniped by Wall Street predators and kicked out, the Big Five are happy to see it, and they are not welcome to the new MM to enter the game, the best outcome of MM is to collapse on its own or merge into any giant system, so at the beginning, they invariably isolated and excluded MM.

MM waved the check and couldn't get the cooperation contract, they had to find another way, and Gu Ge, YouTube and other Internet companies to cooperate, the new Internet is changing people's lives at an amazing speed, which also gives MM the opportunity to break through isolation, the open Internet, the eternal Internet is not something anyone can block, MM put the publicity channel in cooperation with Internet companies, and the effect is also there.

Besides, the media companies in the United States are not these, Time Warner, News Corporation, Viacom, and Disney are reluctant to cooperate with MM, and under the leadership of Peter, chairman of the board of directors of Random House, MM and Bertelsmann have reached a strategic cooperation agreement.

With a history of 170 years, Bertelsmann Group is a Fortune Global 500 company, the world's leading media and services group, recognized as one of the top 10 media groups, Bertelsmann has more than 50 countries and regions in the world to develop television (RTL Group), books (Random House), magazines (Goonyar G+J), services (Arvato Group) and media clubs (direct group) and other businesses in more than 50 countries and regions around the world.

Its RTL Group is Europe's leading entertainment content production and distribution company, with a network of 45 TV channels and 31 radio stations in 11 European countries, as well as a number of strong programming companies around the world.

Its printing and publishing company, Gunayar, is Europe's largest publisher of periodicals and magazines, publishing more than 500 periodicals in more than 30 countries and regions, as well as providing a large number of online magazines and information services.

Arvato Group is one of the world's largest providers of globally networked media and communication services, with more than 60,000 employees designing and implementing integrated solutions for a wide range of business processes for corporate customers around the world, with a portfolio of products covering all aspects of the service, including printing, digital storage and content conversion and distribution, data management, customer service, customer relationship management and services, supply chain management, financial services, professional IT services and customs IT services, educational media direct marketing and many more.

This European media giant, has been squeezed out by the United States media industry, in the film and television production and channels of the power is still quite strong, the previous Sony is highly cooperative with it in music, but also formed a joint music business company, and many of Soni's publicity and promotion business is packaged to them.

However, MM cancelled the cooperation because of the good relationship between Bertelsmann and Soni, and the two parties interrupted the cooperation for several months, of course, Soni owed Tasman a large amount of publicity and promotion fees was the main reason for the dispute between the two parties.

Of course, they will no longer pay for the cost of condoms, and Bertelsmann is the service I provided, and I should receive the money, and MM's position, you are the service provided to Soni, it is they who are cool, why should we pay the bill, this is not ten dollars or eight dollars, but tens of millions of dollars.

So the three companies have been arguing with each other, and whether it is Mark or Iger, they tend to cooperate with Time Warner and Viacom, they are more resourceful and powerful, but they naturally do not want to be greedy for MM's little cheapness, but want to see MM's jokes, which contributed to the cooperation between MM and Bertelsmann.

In fact, the biggest difference between the two sides was because of Mark, who did not like Bertelsmann's Der Spiegel.

Founded in 1947 in Hamburg in German and English, Der Spiegel is a weekly magazine published in Germany with an average circulation of nearly 1.1 million copies per week. Influential both at home and abroad, Rudolf Augstein has been the editor-in-chief and publisher of Der Spiegel since the publication of the first edition of Der Spiegel on January 4, 1947, and renamed the magazine Der Spiegel.

As one of Germany's most famous weekly magazines, with an average circulation of nearly 1.1 million copies per week, the magazine bills itself as "the most important newsweek in Germany and the most widely circulated in Europe".

It is also said that German journalists do not go out to cover the newspapers, but each person reads a copy of the newspaper in his hand in order to find the topic of the week's report, although this is only a joke, but it does reflect the phenomenon that some issues in German society are set by this magazine.

However, this influential newspaper has always been anti-Huaxia and aimed at the Chinese government, so that it has attracted the dissatisfaction of the relevant departments, and even the Bertelsmann Book Club, which is popular in China, cannot get along and is forced to close its business, which is a big obstacle for those who are interested in entering the Chinese market and taking a share of the second largest box office in the future.

But both sides understand that arguments are meaningless, political differences are meaningless, and they should sit down and seek solutions, as Bertelsmann's signature in the publishing world, "Der Spiegel" has a huge influence, they will not change themselves because they cater to the preferences of the powerful, "Der Spiegel" is not just selling 110 copies as simple, its output of cultural value and influence is the real big head, it is Bertelsmann's star company.

Therefore, in this cooperation, there is a secret agreement, if Betas unilaterally dies and incurs a ban by the Chinese authorities, MM will not take the blame, and has the right to unilaterally suspend the cooperation, the two sides are only allies of interests, limited to commercial cooperation, no political demands, not a real alliance.

So when MM and Bertelsmann announced a strategic cooperation agreement on the second day of Christmas, the people were not salty, but for several giant companies in the Hollywood media industry, the shock was huge.

This means that their isolation and exclusion is a joke, they are beginning to regret that they rejected MM's check in the first place, and now they are cheaper than the Germans, which is also, MM has a banking family and an oracle background, theoretically they are not short of money, and people who are not short of money are afraid that they will not find a helper?

Of course, their initial refusal cannot be wrong, the two sides compete in many aspects, they will cooperate with peer giants, but there are fewer situations, more competition, and the main idea is to make less money than cooperate with opponents.

Iger hopes to cooperate with Viacom, MM's Columbia Pictures and Viacom's CBS CBS are the same company, because of the antitrust law, the two sides have a deep relationship, there has always been cooperation, it is said that Columbia Pictures is newly owned by MM, and CBS is newly owned by Viacom, and the two sides are together for warmth, mutual benefit is the best way.

But Viacom's head Lei Shidong is not happy to cooperate with them, and the competition between MM Nafix and BesTV is too fierce, and they are almost out of the dog's brain.

The two sides had a short honeymoon cooperation period when they cleaned up Hastings's NVC this year, and the two giants joined forces to target the killing, and the NFY could not bear such a huge blow, so it was directly finished and merged into the MM system.

Lei Shidong is not happy, everyone has joined forces to suppress, and you will take advantage of the cheapness, Viacom works in vain, Blockbuster is Viacom's star enterprise, with a market value of nearly 10 billion, it has felt the threat of Netfy, so it will set up its own online leasing company, Lei Shidong put forward a kind suggestion, he is willing to buy Netifix at a price one percent higher than the market price, and the two sides will cooperate in many aspects.

For BesTV, the threat of Napuff is huge, it is threatening BesTV's business system, and it is a good choice to merge and acquire.

Mark refused, and his brain didn't get into the water, how could he do such a stupid thing?

I wish you all book friends a happy new year.
