Chapter 459: Acquisition for Revenge?
The company didn't go well, and at first he could use Ovitz's old connections to poach people everywhere, but gradually, what he had in his hands had lost its vitality and could no longer squeeze any oil and water, and he couldn't find anything new to replace it. As a result, the company's operation has not reached his expectations at all, and it has even gradually shown a trend of depression recently.
It can only be said that he has built CAA too well in the past, and he has not given much room for new economic companies to survive. At the beginning, Ovitz wanted to sign Roy despite the retaliation of the Moran family, in order to fight against the water and give himself a glimmer of life. Life or death, he has no choice.
Indeed, Roy's addition gave him some respite. Many people saw that he was able to snatch the person she was holding out from Leila's hands, and they were immediately optimistic about his strength and ability and joined the company. But gradually, they found that there were big problems with the operation of this company, such as the first-line actors could not get the roles they wanted, or the low-level actors were playing some inconspicuous movies.
Ovitz couldn't help it. He has too few resources at his disposal right now. The few who can be taken out are all given to the most famous people in the company in order to win people's hearts, and the following ones are only run by the agent himself. However, in this increasingly competitive Hollywood, how can it be so simple to want a satisfactory role? Under the vicious circle, Ovitz feels that he is gradually unable to do so.
Although the two companies together should not cost much, Channing still felt that they were not a suitable acquisition. Marvel's own constraints make him unable to see the direction of making money, and AMG's prospects are not bright, even where Ovitz has been planted, can Lyra do a good job?
Leila knew that her thoughts seemed like a haphazard decision now, but she knew exactly how it would develop in the future, and it was impossible for her to change her decision because of Channing's favor or disapproval.
"Tell me first, do I have enough money to buy them?"
Qian Ning frowned and calculated in his heart: "I have also evaluated the two companies before, and they should be able to win within 500 million US dollars." If you're lucky, maybe 400 million will be enough. ”
This is a "cheap" price that Leila expected. You must know that Disney spent more than $4 billion on the acquisition of Marvel in the future! But if you think about it, it is not surprising that the future Marvel is an obvious treasure trove, with inexhaustible potential. And now Marvel is struggling with a difficult situation, and even needs to sell the copyright of superheroes to maintain it.
Not to mention the AMG Artist Management Company, which is of no use in the eyes of investors other than the fact that the broker contract they now have is worth a little money.
"Let's buy it. Leila didn't explain to him: "I want those two companies, and I must complete the acquisition by May." Speaking of this, she showed a slightly evil smile: "If you want to be busy working overtime while Janet is giving birth, I don't care. ”
“…… Thanks! No, you'll get what you want by May!" Channing agreed categorically. At the same time, he also made a decision, that is, the future child must see her as little as possible, so that the pure little angel will not be dyed black by her.
The acquisition of hundreds of millions of dollars, led by Leila, could not be more welcome in the media. Shortly after Leila confirmed the acquisition, news broke that she was acquiring both Marvel and AMG Artist Management.
Like Qian Ning's initial thoughts, many people also felt incomprehensible that she was going to buy these two. Wall Street's elite evaluated her decision in all respects, and were similarly less optimistic about her acquisition.
But not everyone is optimistic, and at least some comic book fans are very supportive of Layla's acquisition of Marvel. The current Marvel is too poor, and I don't know how many good ideas have been wasted, if there is such a person as Leila, who wants money and money, wisdom and wisdom, Marvel will definitely make better achievements in the future.
And don't forget, she is a famous director in Hollywood. With her there, it means that comic book fans and superhero fans are likely to see more superheroes on the big screen. And her love for comics was reported during last year's "Victor Incident", so it's no surprise that the acquisition of Marvel has now been announced.
Marvel is just a small one, and what makes the public pay more attention is her acquisition of AMG. Why? Because many people think that she is willing to buy AMG for revenge!
Revenge for snatching Roy from her in the first place!
Many people in Hollywood know that Roy was created by her, and everyone can see the hard work she put into him. is also the endorsement of luxury, the protagonist of the movie, and the singing of the Super Bowl, it can be said that she has created such a sudden star under her series of creations.
Unlike other stars who became popular immediately, he did not become popular based on a certain role, but through all aspects of the matching, he was jointly promoted to the throne of star. In this way, he will not be tied to a certain role, and his handsome face will not be relegated to the vase actor.
Those stars who are suddenly popular because of a certain role that everyone likes will not work. is like Leonardo in the Titanic, the so-called success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He. What made him popular for half the day was the Titanic, and it was also this movie that made him unable to get out of the role.
would go to such great lengths to praise Roy, and a fool could see how important he was to Lyra. As a result, he Ovitz poached people silently, not to mention the daughter of a wealthy family, even a flat-headed ordinary person would feel very faceless, right?
So AMG was acquired, except for a little surprise at the beginning, after "figuring it out", I didn't feel anything. The eldest lady is rich, and she is angry, why can't she buy his company?
Seeing such an argument being hyped by the media, Leila felt a little wronged. Wasn't it Roy's business when she decided to buy it?
Unfortunately, not many people believe such words, not even Ovitz himself.
So, in the third week of the acquisition, Leila and Ovitz sat together.
"Is it really because of Roy?"
"It's not. Leila sighed softly, too lazy to explain the question she had explained several times.
Clearly, Ovitz was not convinced.
Today he looked a lot haggard from the last time they met. The dress is still meticulous, but the expression on his face is not as scrappy as last time.
