As Thanksgiving Day approaches, turkey should be served, and foods such as cranberry moss jam, sweet potato, maize, pumpkin pie, home-baked bread, and a variety of vegetables and fruits are also on the plate.

But this Thanksgiving Day in 2004 was not destined to make it easy for some. Just when the outside world commented on Chen Tiandu's gloating, an unexpected news suddenly shook the world:

It has been rumored that the matrix of "fragrant and sweet bite" has been ...... To be precise, it was just Chen Tiandu himself, who suddenly launched a counterattack, announcing the simultaneous anti-takeover of Paramount and the full acquisition of DreamWorks. ”

The offer for Paramount's parent company, Viacom, has not yet been announced, but the acquisition of DreamWorks is a real deal. The offer for DreamWorks was as high as $3 billion, and it was also willing to take on all the debts of DreamWorks Productions, while announcing that it had acquired DreamWorks...... Including more than 50% of the shares of DreamWorks Animation on the market, they will continue to acquire if needed.

This stake already accounts for 13% of DreamWorks' total shares, which is enough to be a shareholder.

And take this as an opportunity to officially launch a full acquisition of DreamWorks, including the most profitable DreamWorks animation company.

As soon as the news broke, it immediately caused an uproar throughout Hollywood. The news has also spread to the world at a rapid pace. Not only did it not relent, but it intensified, stabbing the spearhead of the bayonet against the real Hollywood giant Paramount Pictures, and also participated in the DreamWorks acquisition that competed with Universal and Paramount......

"Oh my God!"

The media boiled all at once, "It's really not moving, it's a blockbuster." ”

"Haha. The show is on stage. The Chinese who robbed the money were angry! ”

Almost all of China's mainstream media outlets rushed to report the news. Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are also paying close attention to the report.

This acquisition is also related to the matrix completely getting rid of the hat of an independent production company and moving towards a giant company; There is also a company in China that has become a global giant. Perhaps there will be more domestic films in the future, which will enter the North American market through this channel.

Japan's Sony once acquired Columbia, and over the years, it has invested money in China under the guise of Columbia. Major award ceremonies such as the Hong Kong Film Awards, Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, etc., you will definitely hear such a sentence: "Thanks to the Colombian company ......" is actually thanking the Japanese, but with the Colombian brand, he immediately turned into an American boss. It makes you less resistant.

They came to China with great fanfare to collect money, brandished banknotes and pointed fingers at Chinese films, "there must be no plots that slander Japan's image", "Sino-Japanese peace, you are wrong to scold the Japanese", "Anti-Japanese war films, I'm sorry, we don't invest" and so on. But most people dare not speak out, and the media rarely reports it.

Why? It's because Sony bought Colombia.

It is conceivable that in this era of the rise of domestic films, the matrix suddenly launched an acquisition of the giant, and how huge the impact it had on the domestic media.

Yahoo Entertainment News. Commenting on the incident, the report said: "When Paramount was clamoring for the acquisition of the matrix, the whole world almost forgot. The boss of the matrix is a rich man. There is a saying in China, 'the butt of the tiger cannot be touched', and this move is undoubtedly touching the butt of the tiger. This top rich man is still very young, and the blood on his body has not yet been worn out. You go to beat the water dogs, and he stabs you in the back with great fanfare, and this knife immediately makes Paramount unbearable. For Paramount's acquisition, the matrix may not be moved, but in the face of the acquisition of the matrix, will Paramount be tempted......"

Whether Paramount is tempted or not, I don't know yet, but DreamWorks is already tempted.

They urgently convened a board meeting to discuss the acquisition. And set up a special team to negotiate with the matrix team. Before they knew it, most of their shares had been acquired, and they didn't know about it, which was really unbelievable, and it was also a huge blow to DreamWorks, and they were burned at the stake.

Fortunately, the Big Three are already at odds, and DreamWorks is going to sell sooner or later, but it just changes buyers.

Peck's moment can be described as a spring breeze, during this time, it seems that every rich person in Hollywood is clamoring to buy the matrix, but no one has seen a real move. Now as soon as his boss moves, he gets stuck in the throat of his opponent, which is really cool!

He took the team in a relaxed mood and started negotiations with the DreamWorks team.

On Saturday, The Hollywood Reporter first gave a comprehensive interpretation of the acquisition: "Are you still discussing when Chen Tiandu will break through Spielberg's box office kingship, you guys are out, and now Chen Tiandu will soon become the new owner of DreamWorks......"

The text generally states that Matrix Group will acquire the copyright of all DreamWorks content after acquiring DreamWorks.

The valuation of DreamWorks Productions is about 1 billion, and the valuation of DreamWorks Animation is currently more than 1.5 billion with the big sales of the "Shrek" series, and it is still on the rise.

But the $3 billion offer to pay cash is enough to make DreamWorks' three shareholders excited.

Observer Gerhard, CEO of boutique consultancy Eurotechnology? Fasol said of the timing of the acquisition: "It's a good time to make an acquisition because DreamWorks has a fairly low valuation right now. ”

Fasol added: "In terms of the matrix, the group wants more content, and the acquisition of DreamWorks brings more content to it. In particular, the joint acquisition of DreamWorks Animation can vigorously promote the sluggish pace of the matrix in the animation industry. The integration of the production department of DreamWorks will also increase the annual output of the matrix.

Janney Montgomery Scott, an analyst at the U.S. securities rating agency, Tony ? Waiber also said in the report: "Chen Tiandu's targeting of DreamWorks did not start with this acquisition, and it is not difficult to find that he has actually begun to switch to DreamWorks long before we open the previous news." Donnie, who was Chen Tiandu's financial steward at the time, explained that it was just a normal business investment, and it seems that it is obviously more than that. They had been preparing for this work for a long time, perhaps even earlier. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Paramount gave up on the acquisition of DreamWorks, and the matrix suddenly came out, which was the best time.

"He has always been sober, and sensible people know that the problem of information security leaks can only exist at the stage of questioning. If the security of network user registration information is really ensured, then BI may be even more untrustworthy than Chen Tiandu personally. Without any legal basis, it is illegal to force him to reduce his stake in Google. ”

Steve? Spielberg also publicly responded to the media, saying: "Since DreamWorks is not doing well and its growth is sluggish, it makes sense to sell it to Matrix." I think it's interesting that DreamWorks' new owners are not Hollywood giants in the traditional sense, and I thought that DreamWorks and Lionsgate, and even Matrix might all face being acquired at some point, but Matrix came out on top, and he managed to withstand the pressure, stand on his feet with eye-popping results, and go from strength to strength. It used to be my dream...... Now someone has done it. ”

Chen Tiandu still didn't show up, he just updated his ace wave ok and wrote a long professional analysis document to analyze the future of informatization.

"The future film and television industry will definitely be a world of networks."

"Video sites, smartphones, mobile Internet access, tablets...... will come out one by one. Imagine if your mobile phone can surf the Internet like a computer, it will be easier to call, make friends, take photos, shoot videos, and upload videos. Almost everyone will have a camera, what era will it be, and how colorful will the video content be? ”

"The digital age is coming, and digital sales of music will outpace physical record sales. Because it's easier to on-demand, listen. The hit dramas that are one season a year will also be squeezed by newer and faster online dramas. ”

"People won't be satisfied with all the movies and TV series that are available. At that time, technology companies will be more interested in media studios. It would be a fragmented world. There may be a website that specializes in live video shows, where you sit in front of your computer at home and show you how to eat three meals a day just by going online, and you can reap a lot of money from a large number of fans. ”

"It's not a far-flung sci-fi movie, maybe it's happening around you, you just don't know it yet. For example, as I know, Andy Rubin used to work on a smart operating system for mobile phones, so that mobile phones can go online like computers, and they have implemented this operating system, and there will be physical phones soon. It would be a real work of art that would make a splash around the world and make all the non-smart phones out there. The mobile phone giants will be shuffled, and the backward ones will be eliminated...... Ahem, it's far away. ”

"In short, the acquisition of DreamWorks is not just about expanding production, we will move towards more original content......

His remarks caused a huge discussion in the industry.

Everyone knows that the mobile phone operating system introduced in Chen Tiandu's article has been acquired by him, and he has begun to develop smart phones.

He mentioned the concept of a "fragmented world of content", which was recognized by his peers.

As soon as they became Apple's CEO, they agreed, because they also began to study Apple's mobile phone business. "I very much agree with the concept of a fragmented world of content, and a more comfortable, convenient and fast intelligent world will surely be the dominant one in the future. However, I would like to express my deep condemnation of what Chen Tiandu himself has done, which is unfair competition. I warn you that it is impossible to cut off the core of the apple by this means. ”

“？？？”

Three question marks floated on the heads of netizens, what kind of nerve did Jobs have. When did Chen Tiandu offend this great god again? Isn't he making his own cartoons?

Oh, and it turned out to be Apple, which re-emerged in 2001 with the release of the MP3 player iPod. To be continued.
