"Well, even if AOL Time Warner has a day when the stock price crashes, what about MGM? As a veteran film company, it is not so easy to intervene. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Fang Yufu on the side said.

"Have you never noticed that MGM has produced fewer and fewer films in the past two years, just last year and this year, do they have big productions?" After Liu Anran finished speaking, he took out a cigar and just wanted to smoke it, but was snatched away by Fang Yufu.

People hope that if you are pregnant, how can you smoke your second-hand smoke here.

"Well, you know why I used to pay so much attention to Steve Jobs' Pixar Animation Studio, right? In fact, if you talk about big productions in future movies, you can't do without special effects at all. Liu Anran touched his nose and continued.

"But MGM is now conformist and eating the old book. With the rise of these new small studios and studios, the impact on them is growing. ”

"In my sense, MGM is actually an empty shell right now, holding on there. Now I can figure out why our first "Ghost Shadow" was able to be released after talking about it on their side. One is because they don't have many films either, and the other is Robert Jr.? Downey's favor. ”

"If you think about it, is it possible that such a company wants to make a change now? They've missed the initial opportunity, and it's hard to change their strategy now. First, their managers need to change their mindset, and second, they need to convince those shareholders. And both of these points are very difficult. ”

"Because in their hearts, they still guard the MGM brand, and they have always felt that they are very strong, and they have produced so many classics, and they will always be Hollywood's No.1."

The three of them were listening carefully to Liu Anran's analysis, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was possible.

As soon as MGM mentions it now, it is a tall existence, but now after Liu Anran peels off the layer of camouflage on MGM's outside, there is actually a skeleton left, and there is no meat on the body.

"But even if you have a chance to swallow MGM in the future, what are you going to do to turn MGM around? It would have cost a lot of money to invest in MGM, and now you have to fight on two fronts, thinking about AOL, Time Warner, how much money do you have to complete this plan? Fang Yufu asked again.

She found that Liu Anran began to be triumphant again, and she didn't know why, when she saw his expression, she wanted to hit him.

"Therefore, all those far-sighted geniuses have calculated many steps in advance. Don't pinch me, I said I can't do it yet. Liu Anran had just been stunned for a moment when he saw Fang Yufu raise his hand and hurriedly changed his words.

"I've been thinking about Old Joe's Pixar animation studio for a long time, and I talked to him last time, but the difference is the funding. If we have Pixar Animation Studios, whether or not we acquire MGM in the future, we can fill the shortcomings of our own company. ”

"The cartoons produced by Pixar Animation Studios are very good, and it is estimated that the market value will be higher after this event is over, and if it wins some more awards at the Oscars, it will continue to be high. So in two days, when the funds can be withdrawn, I will have to talk to Jobs. ”

"Actually, MGM's property is not all of his picture, but mainly his resources. Not having a theater is also our own shortcoming, and the last time Paramount was squeezed out of the Halloween schedule, it was because of this. ”

"The Paramount case is a joke for the current studios, and in the '80s, the U.S. government had to come forward to encourage the studios to open their own theaters."

"For those large companies, it doesn't matter whether the theater chain is directly controlled or not, anyway, it is good to have a parent company joint venture, and there will be no worries about film scheduling in the future. But what about us Dream Media? If you don't have your own theater chain in hand, you will be boycotted by them sooner or later in the future. ”

"We still shoot fewer films now, but what about more films in the future? It will definitely affect the scheduling plans of the rest of the film companies. And if our company is too strong, the rest of the companies will be able to sit still? If they form a group to boycott us, the pressure on us to collect the money will be too great. Maybe the film has not yet been released, and the DVD will have to be released. ”

"And if we build our own theaters, not only will the investment be large, but it will also take a lot of time, which is far less fast than the acquisition."

"Actually, I'm really curious, you're usually just fooling around, when do you think about so many things in your head?" Fang Yufu looked at Liu Anran carefully for a while and asked.

"Well, every night when I can't sleep, I think about how the company will grow in the future. How can you do it without planning? No matter how good the film we shoot, if we don't plan in advance, sooner or later we will be squeezed out by those big film companies. Liu Anran said with a wry smile.

At present, the influence of my company in the media field is not very large, and people do not pay much attention to it. When it grows in the future, it is estimated that some departments of the U.S. government will look at themselves when they don't have the rest of the film companies.

He is not only a foreign capital, but also a Chinese, and the United States has always been committed to suppressing the development of China.

In fact, he has been planning for so long, and he hasn't thought about what to do when the time comes. After all, this is not an acquisition of tens of millions of dollars, this is an acquisition plan of billions and tens of billions, and he has never operated it.

He only knows some key points, and he can only make a fuss when those key points come.

The first key point is the internal contradictions of AOL Time Warner, which caused the collapse of their stock price, which will fall to a trough of $8.7 in July next year, and finally stabilize at $16, with a market value of $280 billion.

The second key point is that MGM was acquired by Sony and the rest of the consortium in 05, and then declared bankruptcy again in 10 years.

The third key point is Jobs's personal attitude. His illness was discovered in advance because of his own intervention, which can be regarded as a good fate. His cooperation with Disney has entered a low point, and at this time, as long as he has the funds, he still has some opportunities to persuade Jobs to sell Pixar Animation Studios to him.

The acquisition of Pixar Animation Studio, he can talk to Jobs, and he doesn't want to get all of the acquisitions of MGM and Time Warner, as long as he gets one, and the most optimistic thing in his heart is Time Warner.

This matter can't be played by himself, and there will be a lot of variables in the middle, so he will prepare with both hands. (To be continued.) )
