The acquisition of "EMI EMI by Sound of Rain" caused a sensation around the world, and it was a little incredible that an unknown company snatched such a large piece of fat from Sony, Universal and many other giants. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This news was widely reported in Huaxia, and this time the Su family did not deliberately block it, and even boosted the fermentation of the news, because they also planned to continue to speculate on the stock price of "Shanghe", so that they could withdraw as soon as possible.

In fact, even if the Su family wants to stop it, it can't hide Cheng Xiaoyu's brilliance, after all, this is the largest overseas merger and acquisition in the history of China, and this news is not surprising that it appeared on the CCTV news network, and Cheng Xiaoyu's name also appeared on the CCTV news network again.

According to Agence France-Presse, EU regulators issued a statement approving the $4.5 billion acquisition of EMI Music by Sound of Rain. On July 12, Chen Haoran, President of Rain Voice, represented Rain Voice and Citibank President Will Murphy. Dimon attended a grand press conference, and from this day on, the 100-year-old "EMI Momoyo" will be closed on the stage of music history, replaced by the "sound of rain". ”

The picture shows a press conference in New York, Chen Haoran in a straight suit in front of the camera, handsome and calm. As Dimon shook hands and exchanged documents, flashing lights flew down like a waterfall.

The voiceover of the news continued: "EMI EMI is one of the world's top five music products companies in the last century, and the merger of 'Sound of Rain' with 4.5 billion US dollars, or about 31.56 billion Chinese coins, will shatter Sony's dream of becoming the world's number one music product giant." ”

According to public information, EMI is one of the world's largest music publishing and distribution companies, with a history of 100 years, and has the copyright of 1.3 million music, including many big-name stars and classic tracks..... and Chinese violinist Chen Yunmei, musical theater queen Sarah Brightman and many other superstars. In comparison, Sony's Sony/ATV Music Rights Company (SAMP) owns only 750,000 songs, while Universal Music owns 800,000 songs. With this acquisition, 'Sound of Rain' has become the world's largest music copyright controller. ”

"In order to obtain approval from the European Commission, Sound of Rain promised not to carry out large-scale layoffs on EMI Motodai and unlocked some of the copyrights owned by EMI Motoi."

"Not only that, the acquisition of EMI by the 'Sound of Rain' was strongly sniped by Sony and Universal, for which it paid a premium of more than $400 million, and after the 'EMI Ambival' was merged by the 'Sound of Rain', the world's record industry formed five major music companies in the last century: Warner, Universal, BMG, Sony and EMI, to this day, there are only three left."

Then the image of Cheng Xiaoyu participating in the G20 party appeared in the picture, "Cheng Xiaoyu, the founder of 'Sound of Rain', is a famous producer, musician, director, and pianist in China, and his 'Sound of Rain' has also changed the pattern of global music product companies, becoming the first Huaxia company to become an international music product giant, which is also the largest merger and acquisition case in Huaxia so far, in addition to Cheng Xiaoyu and Xu Qinning's 'Xichu International Pictures', after the acquisition of Europe's largest cinema chain odeon.anduci, becoming the world's largest cinema chain. ”

"After completing the global layout of music and film, the entertainment empire belonging to Cheng Xiaoyu is revealed, and this extraordinary talent in art and business has also shown amazing talent. U.S. Ambassador to China Terry. Branson told the media that Cheng Xiaoyu, who grew up in the United States and was deeply influenced by Chinese culture, is not only an outstanding artist, but also has the ability to influence the relationship between the United States and China, and he is a bridge between the United States and China for cultural exchanges. Next, let's turn to the international news. ”

This minute-long news made Cheng Xiaoyu, a name that had been silent in China for a long time, shine again, and after Cheng Xiaoyu was imprisoned in Neon, the domestic media deliberately reduced Cheng Xiaoyu's coverage, especially the official media.

CCTV took the lead in breaking the silence of the TV media, and it was still such a large-scale report, and the Chinese official media who felt the signal were collectively crazy, and they invariably began to report on Cheng Xiaoyu's miraculous performance in the past two years.

But unlike the high praise of the Chinese media, the majority of the voices of the American media are declining, the main reason is that "Xichu" announced that it will continue to add 400 million US dollars to increase the construction of 3D and IMAX theaters around the world, which makes the media think that Cheng Xiaoyu's capital chain is on the verge of breaking at any time, as long as "Titanic" is not good at the box office, it will cause a chain reaction and form an avalanche.

Most of the American media are critical of Cheng Xiaoyu's practice of pinning the safety of an empire on a movie.

The Wall Street Journal published a lengthy analysis - "Betting on 3D and IMAX, Cameras and Spotlights."

The article said: "Xichu International Film continues to increase the construction of 3D and IMAX screening halls, which has increased the doubts of industry insiders about whether Cheng Xiaoyu's entertainment empire can be established.

Cheng Xiaoyu, who has been in the carnival of acquisitions, may not really realize how dangerous his capital chain is, and continuing to invest in 3D and IMAX will undoubtedly increase the weight.

The income of 'Voice of Rain' and 'Xichu' continued to be good, making Cheng Xiaoyu bet bigger and bigger in this feast, but the problem never left.

Seeing the strong demand for a new movie-going experience, Cheng Xiaoyu set an astonishing strategic goal for 'Xichu', hoping to take a gamble in this feast.

There is nothing wrong with taking a gamble, but this is not driven by capital, but with Cheng Xiaoyu's personal vision and Cheng Xiaoyu's confidence in his directing ability, such a three-D and IMAX outlet is not worth all.in.

In addition, outside of this acquisition feast, there are constant doubts: without a small cost advantage and a huge burden of EMI Baidai, can Cheng Xiaoyu's 'Sound of Rain' still be supported? The question that follows is whether 'Sound of Rain' and 'Xichu' can still achieve such high profits?

In fact, this question is almost unquestionable, and it is unlikely.

What makes everyone pay more attention is how long can Cheng Xiaoyu hold on with his talent? You must know that whether it is 'Xichu' or 'Sound of Rain', they are essentially vampires parasitic on Cheng Xiaoyu's personal body, once Cheng Xiaoyu has a problem, these two gold-making monsters who draw on Cheng Xiaoyu's talent will also have to be finished.

Cheng Xiaoyu's entertainment empire, which is "big and fast", looks very beautiful, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging......"

As for Wells Fargo, Citibank, Sony and Universal, who understand Cheng Xiaoyu's full identity, none of them have spoken out, Sony certainly does not want to increase the momentum for their opponents, and Citigroup and Universal will not say anything when they see Cheng Xiaoyu himself, let alone talk more.

The Hollywood Reporter then conducted in-depth interviews with a number of Hollywood film insiders, asking them what they think of 3D and IMAX movies and Cheng Xiaoyu.

The opening chapter is about Staven. Interview with Bell.

"Mr. Staven, what do you think of Director Cheng Xiaoyu?"

"A really good and thoughtful young man, I love him and his films."

"This year's Oscars are your "The Shawshank Redemption", and there is Clint . Eastwood's "Black Swan" and Cheng Xiaoyu's "Titanic", who do you think has a better chance of winning? ”

"It's hard to say, it all depends on the choice of more than 6,000 judges, and I wouldn't be surprised who wins in the end."

"Do you think director Cheng Xiaoyu's bet on 3D and IMAX is the right choice? What do you expect to be at the box office of "The Shawshank Redemption", "Black Swan" and "Titanic"? ”

"I personally have a cautious attitude towards 3D and IMAX, and I am still very optimistic about the prospects of 3D and IMAX, but at this moment, Cheng Xiaoyu has taken a lot of risks in making such a choice, but we all understand that the greater the risk, the higher the return, as for the box office, I hope everyone can promote each other, the higher the better, and everything will prosper the film market ......."

"Clint. Director Eastwood: What do you think of director Cheng Xiaoyu? ”

"I think Cheng Xiaoyu is a very good commercial film director, his success is all based on his grasp of the audience's preferences, but because of this, he can't make good art films, I don't doubt that he can make movies that sell money, but art is precisely difficult to reconcile with the public's taste."

"This year's Oscars are attended by Staven. Bell's "The Shawshank Redemption", your "Black Swan" and "Titanic", who do you think has a better chance of winning? ”

"I'm confident in my Black Swan, Kose. Joey gave a very wonderful performance in it, I think she has the strength to win the Oscar position, this time the biggest opponent of "Black Swan" is "The Shawshank Redemption", I have a lot of love for the old guy Staven. I don't doubt Bale's skills at all, but I'm more optimistic about myself, not to mention that he has won enough awards, and it should make me beautiful. ”

"As for "Titanic", the box office is definitely higher than mine, you must know that my investment in "Black Swan" is only 50 million US dollars, which is not enough for a fraction of others, but I think the award may not have anything ......to do with it."

"Do you think director Cheng Xiaoyu's bet on 3D and IMAX is the right choice? What is the box office of the movies that you expect "The Shawshank Redemption", "Black Swan" and "Titanic" to be released in the Christmas schedule? ”

"I don't think there is much to say about 3D and IMAX, this technology is very mature, we can feel 3D or even 4D movies when we walk into Universal or Disneyland, but this does not mean that the movie-watching market is mature, in fact, the audience's acceptance of 3D movies is not high, Cheng Xiaoyu is not the first director to play 3D or IMAX, before Francisco and Tony. Huaien has also tried the waters of three-D movies many times, and I think you know that it is not that the box office is poor, but that no one watches it at all, so I think Cheng Xiaoyu's decision is very irrational......"

"As for the box office, it should be "Titanic" the highest, after all, it has invested 600 million US dollars, even if it only recovers half of the cost, it is very scary, but this does not mean that it must be the first, I think "The Shawshank Redemption" should be possible to surpass "Titanic", as for my "Black Swan" should be slightly lower, after all, this is a movie born for art."

The Hollywood Reporter then published an article on Peter. Interviews with Koopla and many other industry insiders, Peter. Koopla gloated over Cheng Xiaoyu's performance, and bluntly said that Cheng Xiaoyu's bet on 3D and IMAX was just looking for excitement, which was a kind of stupidity that didn't know the height of the sky.

Peter. Kophera also prophesied: "Don't talk about the Oscars, I think it's a big question whether the box office of "Titanic" can have a high cost, "Titanic" is destined to sink, Cheng Xiaoyu and his "Xichu" are also destined to sink, don't believe it, let's see, next year we will see another Cheng Xiaoyu in Hollywood's bankruptcy......"

And not only Peter. Kopla, most filmmakers don't understand Cheng Xiaoyu's irrational approach, and Kenichiro Takahashi, vice president of Sony Pictures, also said sarcastically: "Sony, Universal and Disney have lost more than a billion dollars on 3D projects, and now it's the turn of the next fool, I don't know how much Cheng Xiaoyu is ready to lose!" Anyway, it looks like there must be a $600 million! ”

And this kind of discussion is not only in the industry, but also many movie lovers on the Internet have expressed their opinions, ordinary fans maintain a cautious optimism about the box office of "Titanic", after all, most people feel that the big investment of 600 million US dollars, and Cheng Xiaoyu and Catherine. Blanchett made a promise that he should check it out anyway.

As for the opinion on "Titanic" participating in the Oscars, no one is optimistic, after all, everyone knows the unspoken rules of the Oscars, and many fans think that as long as "Titanic" can be nominated for several Oscar technical awards, it is not bad, as for the best director and best picture, it is absolutely impossible to even nominate such big awards.

First, because "Titanic" is a special effects blockbuster, it is a congenital deficiency.

Second, this session also has Clint . Eastwood and Staven. Bell is such a big deal, Staven. Bell doesn't need to say more, Clint . Eastwood's "Black Swan" is known as a sword sharpened in seven years, and it is aimed at the Oscars, and there is a big mountain that Cheng Xiaoyu can hardly match.

Third, Cheng Xiaoyu is only 24 years old, the best director of such a young Chinese? excuse.me! Isn't this an international joke?

Therefore, all fans feel that even if Cheng Xiaoyu can get a nomination for this Oscar, it will be a huge honor, and there is almost no controversy about this, and everyone thinks that it is an established fact.

For viewers and fans, the only suspense is how much box office "Titanic" can get, and whether 3D and IMAX will be successful.

Of course, it is not without controversy about whether "Titanic" can set off a little storm at the Oscars, Cheng Xiaoyu's Chinese fans have mysterious confidence in Cheng Xiaoyu, and they quarreled with some Chinese rational fans for this.

However, these hardcores are only a small group of people, and they don't have much right to speak.

It's just embarrassing that the post of the quarrel between the two parties was also translated into English and posted on the American Film Forum, among which Cheng Xiaoyu's brainless fan, Internet celebrity beauty Luo Luo also posted a video to support Cheng Xiaoyu, she said with tears: "Why can't Mr. Cheng win the Oscar?" Don't you think you're going too far? You think he can't do it, you come, you go to act in movies, you go to write songs. You don't know him at all, and if you don't have that ability, don't talk about others! He has never let us down! He is the pride of our Chinese people! Don't you support that he is still Chinese? ”

This most liked sentence made Cheng Xiaoyu's die-hard fans become a cult by the public, and it also became an international joke.

Countless people left messages under the little girl's "whisper": "The brain is a good thing, it's a good thing, I hope you have it too, it's good to be a fan of Cheng Xiaoyu, but you can't be blindly confident." ”

"Although I also like Mr. Cheng's movies and music, and I also think that Mr. Cheng is the pride of Chinese people, but to be fair, judging from Mr. Cheng's past movies, there is still a big distance from the Oscars, everyone has such expectations, which is understandable, but you still have to talk about the Basic Law."

"Ugh! I'm sorry, I really don't support Director Cheng, I'm a medicine fan! This little girl has a beautiful face, but why is she so brainless? Shame and shame abroad! ”

"Cheng Xiaoyu's brain-dead fan is the best at talking, do you know how hard he works? How about you if you have the ability? You definitely don't look as handsome as him, and you are jealous of him when you say that his mother is soaking! Although Mr. Cheng really has some ability, he is really a sissy! ”

.......

Regardless of the ups and downs of the outside world, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't pay much attention to it, at this moment he was in New York and Hollywood bigwig Harvey. Weinstein met to discuss public relations about Titanic's participation in this year's Oscars.
