819 Dick Cook is also an old fox

Dick? Cook knew that Liu Anran and Paramount had a conflict, and their grievances had a long history. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info If it was usual, he wouldn't mind following along with the small bench to watch a joke.

But now that Liu Anran is carrying the momentum of his big victory at the Oscars, if he wants to really start a war with Paramount, this problem will be much more serious.

There is competition among these old film companies, and when they are in the same schedule, they all want their films to stand out and trample the films of other companies under their feet. But if you do it according to Liu Anran's idea, then it means that the films they produce this year will collide more with Paramount.

Whether Paramount is dead or alive, he doesn't care much. Just like Liu Anran said, maybe you can pick up some cheap ones. What he is worried about is that if Paramount is really fully suppressed by Liu Anran, it may cause a chain reaction on the Hollywood side in the future.

The last time Liu Anran made a move, it triggered a wave of mergers and acquisitions in Hollywood, and major companies followed suit. If Liu Anran really gave Paramount a down, he didn't believe that he didn't care about Paramount's property at all.

Paramount has really not performed well in the past two years, and there are no films that can be used. And Paramount's parent company belongs to Viacom, and although they can take care of Paramount for a while, they can't take care of it forever.

Viacom also has its own group of shareholders who invest in Viacom to make money, not to lose money. Paramount's revenue book is very unsightly, and it has fallen behind in major awards, which has actually caused dissatisfaction among many shareholders.

This is all the news he got from other channels, if Liu Anran suppresses Paramount for another year this year, Paramount's fate is really uncertain.

"Why do you have such an expression? Can't I do something about Paramount? "Liu Anran looked at Dick? Cook asked with a smile.

"It's not that I can't do anything to them, I'm just sorry for them." Dick? Cook said with a shrug of his shoulders.

"It's not just because I'm holding a grudge, it's because they're making small moves. If I don't give them some color to look at, they'll think we're bullies. Liu Anran said with a smile.

"Don't mention them, what the hell is Miramax going to do? Can you give me an accurate message. You also know that my new film is about to start shooting, and there is not a lot of time. And you also need to deal with it as soon as possible, after the Oscars, "Fahrenheit 911" was brought up again. ”

"The day after tomorrow, I'll give you the news and see what price I can finalize. But don't expect to be able to pick up the bargain, although we have a partnership, but that's another story. "Dick? Cook said after thinking about it for a moment.

"As for Pixar, you're going to be a bit high, and if you can lower your share, we can look into it. Now that we're working on a plan to revive the animation department, we can't rely on external forces. ”

"Don't you have to think about it for me, too? Pixar is not short of resources and creativity now, and it is already very good to be able to give you half of the profits. If you give too much, I'm afraid Pixar won't agree. Liu Anran said with a wry smile.

"I can only say that you were too greedy before, and if you raise it appropriately, you may extend this contract a little during the Jobs period. Now Pixar has the financial support of the special effects department, and it has reached a very tacit cooperation stage with my company and the company. ”

"Even if I had told the top management at Pixar in the past, if there were too many benefits to give up, they wouldn't agree. I promised them that I would leave Pixar to them to run their own business. ”

Dick? Cook gave him an angry look, but his heart kept scolding. Without you, maybe our relationship with Pixar would have been simpler, and it would have been possible to include Pixar in our development system.

Now Pixar has been so complicated by you, and it plays such an important role in Dream Media, and you now say that it has nothing to do with you.

"Hehe, then let's do it first, I'll go back and wait for your news." Liu Anran said with a smile after picking up his daughter.

Hopefully, they'll see him stand up and come to his senses. They were all a little bored just now, there was nothing to play here, and there were so many toys at home that were interesting.

"How?" After sitting in the car, Fang Yufu asked curiously.

"Dick? Cook is also an old fox and does not play tricks. Even if I offered the sweetness of continuing to work together on Pixar's side, he didn't take it. Liu Anran shook his head.

"Now they also realize that the animation department can't do without their own technology, and if they continue to work with Pixar, I'm afraid it will continue to hinder their development."

"But Miramax is finally loosening up a bit, and it's up to them what kind of price they can offer. There are so many things involved here, and it is definitely impossible to sell them to us so happily. ”

"If you really buy Miramax, will it go to MGM or Dream Media?" Peacock asked.

"Let's go down to Dream Media, and save yourself the trouble for MGM. But now it also depends on Disney's offer, and if it's really high, I can't buy it. ”

The only advantage of a direct acquisition is that it can make the Weinstein brothers work hard and do not have to worry about them taking up too many shares.

If you can't buy it, just cooperate with the brothers' company, the advantage is that it doesn't cost a penny, but the cooperation is on an equal footing. In the future, in terms of the interests of the film, they will take up more.

Liu Anran still expects the former in his heart, but he is afraid that Disney will really give a price that he can't accept.

He wouldn't believe Dick? Cook: They didn't communicate briefly, but they may have been disrupted by the news that they were going to make a move on Paramount.

"Forget it, don't think about it, just wait for the news, and see what kind of reply Disney gives." Liu Anran said with a smile.

"You should also think about how to play on the island this time. If there is any facility that you are not satisfied with, you can change it later. ”

"Also, when I finish filming "The Departed", we will get married, but we can't delay it any longer. I also have to give birth to a baby and be a companion for the girl. ”

Fang Yufu glanced at him, "Virtue." ”
