"Good. "George Lucas is also a very decisive man, otherwise he would not have been able to develop his film company to the point where he is now. You must know that compared with Spielberg's Dream Factory, his Lucasfilm does not have the support of billionaires!

Since Zhang Fan gave a price that reached his psychological bottom line, and the negative impact of not agreeing was too great. At this time, it is natural to accept that it is the best choice. Anyway, he has long wanted to sell the film company, after all, it is impossible to develop to the level of several giant Hollywood companies anyway, and he has seen through this for so many years.

Now George Lucas is so old that he doesn't have the strength and idea to continue to struggle for decades. Holding a large sum of money and enjoying life is what he wants to do most now.

As for Lucasfilm, there is no difference between falling into the hands of Zhang Fan and falling into the hands of other Hollywood giants for George Lucas.

"Thank you. Zhang Fan got up with a smile and came to the bar and poured two glasses of red wine. He himself did not like red wine, but preferred stronger whiskeys. But at this time, it's clear that red wine is the most suitable.

"Welcome Lucasfilm to the Disney family. Zhang Fan raised his glass to George Lucas, "It will be an important part of Disney." ”

George Lucas's expression was a little dazed at this time, after all, it was decades of hard work, and selling it now was like giving away a child that had been raised for decades. Although this child is relatively old, he was also raised by himself.

But fortunately, after so many years of ups and downs, George Lucas has already opened his mind. This emotion was quickly shaken off by him, after all, he had bought eight billion dollars. It's not a bond or a stock or anything. In Hollywood, except for Zhang Fan, there is no company that can come up with so much cash at one time!

If Lucasfilm were sold to other companies, they would not directly give so much money even to the big companies. Instead, they will choose a portion of the cash plus bonds, stock transfers, and other ways to offset the total amount. And what's even more infuriating is that even if this is the case, you have to pay in installments!

This is also an important reason why George Lucas is so happy to accept Zhang Fan's offer. After all, Zhang Fan gave the money briskly, or paid it in one lump sum, of course he wouldn't make trouble for himself.

The news of Zhang Fan's acquisition of Disney has not completely dispersed in Hollywood, and two more bombshells have exploded in Hollywood.

First, Disney announced that it had acquired Marvel for $2 billion to form Marvel Studios. This directly stewed all those superheroes of Marvel. Except for Disney, no one in Hollywood can get those superheroes from Marvel.

From then on, superhero movies can only belong to Disney and Warner. Other companies want to enter this increasingly popular field unless they can create a popular character on their own.

If Disney's acquisition of Marvel is still shocking, then the revelation that Disney bought the famous Lucasfilm for up to $8 billion is enough to terrify its peers in the industry.

Lucasfilm is a second-rate film company in Hollywood. In fact, as long as you don't have large-scale film distribution rights, you can't become the top first-class film company. In the history of Hollywood, there have been many film companies that have achieved the ultimate because they lack distribution rights and cannot be promoted to the first-class level, and finally have to fall.

Lucasfilm owns the rights to the Star Wars series, which has a very important place in the hearts of movie fans all over the world!

Star Wars has had a deep impact on a generation, and it has made George Lucas and his film company a huge attention around the world. It is precisely because of this strong attention that Lucasfilm has not been swallowed up by Hollywood's wolves while owning the Star Wars series.

Because the reputation of Star Wars is too great, unless George Lucas sells it himself, there is no way to take advantage of it, even if he is greedy! After all, there are too many eyes staring at this place, and rashly attacking Lucasfilm will inevitably be stared at by countless pairs of eyes. This is what allowed Lucasfilm to get through the dangerous stage in the early stage. When it grows, ordinary means are no longer useful to it.

At this time, if you want to buy Lucasfilm, you can only use money to smash it.

Although there have long been rumors that George Lucas is ready to retire, the major film companies are still in the evaluation stage. No one thought that Zhang Fan, who had just won Disney, would make a lightning move without hesitation and take down Lucasfilm at a sky-high price of up to $8 billion!

This incident made many people jealous. That's eight billion dollars!

Although several major Hollywood companies say that they are large companies with a large market capitalization, none of them can come up with so much money at once. And the bosses won't agree to spend so much cash on the acquisition. Even the rights to Star Wars and Industrial Light & Magic are extremely important to any film company.

At this time, Zhang Fan took out such a large sum of money to swallow Lucasfilm, which naturally made everyone jealous.

It's just that they can't do anything but jealousy right now. What Zhang Fan has in his hands is Disney. This is one of the largest film companies in Hollywood and even in the world. There was not the slightest problem with making the film.

He also owns AMC Cinemas, and he doesn't need to look at anyone's face at all to release movies. He also owns Pixar and is a well-deserved king of kings in the field of animated films. He also has a lot of excellent copyrights, and any one of them will be said to crush the existence of other people's works.

Now that Marvel has been bought, almost all of the superheroes have fallen into Zhang Fan's hands. With the purchase of Lucasfilm, ILM brought the most advanced technology of film special effects to Disney. And there is also the super IP of Star Wars in hand.

Who can fight against such a super-powerful Disney, and how can it fight it?

In all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, there is helplessness. Because no one can do anything against Disney. can only watch it become more powerful step by step.

As for the kind of thing that prompts actors to strike Disney's productions, it's a joke. No actor can refuse the attraction of Zhang Fan's works, let alone the huge sign of Disney. If you do this kind of thing, you will be humiliating yourself.

As for mobilizing official forces against Disney, it would be even more ridiculous. Some of Hollywood's giants are Disney, and they are not afraid of playing with money or playing with law.

The only way to hit Disney now is to stop it at the film market. Beat Disney's work through a dignified head-to-head confrontation. If Disney suffers a series of failures and loses money. That may make Zhang Fan choose to give up because he can't afford the loss. At that time, it's definitely a feast for all of Hollywood. Anyone will want to take a bite out of the big Disney cake!

The idea is indeed very satisfying, but these people don't know it, for Zhang Fan, who has a golden finger, the confrontation through his works is his most powerful place!

There is no one in the world who is more capable of making popular movies than Zhang Fan. Working hard with Zhang Fan in this regard, that is to kill yourself.

The entertainment industry throughout Hollywood and the world is constantly talking about it, and everyone is very interested in Disney's strong expansion. They were curious to know where Disney got so much money for a string of acquisitions?

It's just that now Disney is Zhang Fan's private company. In terms of finances, if he is not willing to make it public, no one should want to know the details.

However, ordinary people in the outside world may not know this, but real insiders have already learned through various channels that Zhang Fan previously held a large number of shares of Alibaba and was repurchased by Alibaba at a super high price. Not only did Zhang Fan have sufficient funds to acquire Disney, but he could also carry out a series of mergers and acquisitions in the future.

In addition to Marvel and Lucasfilm, Zhang Fan has also acquired some small companies or studios with special technology, or copyright, or expertise in certain aspects.

After completing such a series of mergers and acquisitions, Zhang Fan finally ended the corporate restructuring during this period.

Now Disney has truly transformed into a large multinational media group, with a television network, a film company, a distribution channel, and a variety of technical support and various guarantees. Disney even has Disneyland, which other competitors envy but can't do anything about!

With these things in place, the company will officially embark on the fast track to rapid development.

The market is the most responsive. By the time Disney's acquisition was almost complete, many professional news outlets had already given high reviews. It has even climbed the value of Disney's assets all the way to more than $80 billion! It even said that the company's assets will inevitably continue to soar as time goes by!

Countless investors beat their chests and were annoyed that Disney had been delisted, and there was no chance to buy such a good and excellent stock.

Disney's former shareholders have ugly faces, and Disney has not improved in their hands for many years, and there are even signs of regression. But as soon as it fell into Zhang Fan's hands, it began to soar into the sky, which was a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo. And it's the kind that snaps.

Regarding all kinds of disturbances in the outside world, Zhang Fan didn't care about it at all. He is not a joint-stock company, so he doesn't need to pay attention to these things at all.

Zhang Fan is now ready to arrange the next stage of the film shooting plan, and he is ready to use an intensive film offensive to occupy all the time from the beginning of the year to the end of the year!
