can be regarded as responding to Peacock's words, when the news of Viacom's acquisition of Paramount spread, it can be regarded as causing a shock in the Hollywood entertainment industry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

DreamWorks still has a certain status in the Hollywood film industry, but after the detailed merger and acquisition plan came out, not to mention those film companies, even those reporters who have been fighting in the entertainment industry all year round have smelled a different smell.

2002 was an extraordinary year for the entire American entertainment industry. And the reason why it is extraordinary, everyone's general opinion is that it is because of the existence of Liu Anran in the Hollywood film and television industry.

Liu Anran successively acquired Marvel and Pixar Animation Studios, allowing Marvel, which has never made a movie independently, to devote itself to the production of the film. Then he bought MGM and completed a snake swallowing elephant.

At that time, Viacom was one of the companies interested in acquiring MGM, but Viacom, a large company, did not compete with Liu Anran's small company, Dream Media.

Then it didn't take long for Viacom to buy DreamWorks. If it were all acquired, the media would not have much suspicion. The main thing is that DreamWorks' most lucrative animation division was spun off and became a brand new company to work with Paramount.

It is conceivable that Liu Anran's little loach has touched the nerves of these big whales, and they will not hesitate to sacrifice short-term interests in order to have more resources to keep their position, and the first one to act is Viacom.

It is also understandable that the relationship between Dream Media and Paramount was not very good, and a crazy rush for the schedule was staged, but Paramount was beaten up by Dream Media.

Paramount is Viacom's child, and his own child is a little uncompetitive, and when he is Lao Tzu, he has to help the child get ahead. The quality of Paramount's films produced this year is really not high, so let's get DreamWorks to enhance Paramount's creativity.

What's missing, anyway, Viacom has a lot of money and resources, so it can't let the small company Dream Media keep worrying, right? You have to let them see the real strength of the first-line bigwigs in Hollywood.

Some people come to this conclusion and then praise with their foreheads, Joe? Decater was the happiest, and he was looking forward to seeing Dream Media get beaten up by Viacom-backed Paramount. It is best to let the share price of MGM, which was acquired by Dream Media, fall all the way to the end.

But that's not the really shocking news, the day after Viacom announced that it was going to buy DreamWorks, General Electric's NBC also made a move. They were going to merge with France's Vivendi-owned Universal Entertainment Group to form the new NBCUniversal.

Although there is only news coming out, neither company has issued an announcement to confirm. But this attitude of theirs represents acquiescence.

If we use the level of earthquakes to measure these acquisitions, Dream Media's acquisition of MGM is not even enough for the intensity of level five. After all, MGM has been played badly, and only the film library remains. And Viacom's acquisition of DreamWorks can also reach level 5 strength. DreamWorks' animation studio was spun off separately and moved up a few notches.

Then NBC and Vivendi teamed up to form NBCUniversal, and the intensity of this earthquake must be at least eight or higher.

NBC is one of the three major commercial broadcasters in the United States, and Vivendina is also a big conglomerate. Don't look at their current economic situation, which is more chaotic, but the foundation of the people is there, and after selling the Cannal+, which has the highest load rate, the strength of the people is even stronger.

This merger is at the level of strong alliances, and its purpose is undoubtedly to seize the position of the first brother of Hollywood studios. For this position, who of these giants does not covet? With the blessing of NBC, it has added a very powerful attack power to Universal.

In fact, when Liu Anran saw the news, he was a little dumbfounded. He knew that Universal Pictures often changed bosses, you are in charge today, and he will be in charge tomorrow, but he didn't expect that his influence would be so great, not only prompting Viacom to buy DreamWorks in advance, but also allowing the two giants to join forces in advance.

Now there is still no action left Sony, Warner, Fox and Disney.

Warner belongs to the type that is now taking care of itself, Fox is the type to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai, and the remaining Sony and Disney are not suitable opportunities for the time being in Liu Anran's view.

I only disrupted the rhythm of these companies being acquired a little, and then it caused a chain reaction. It looks like its own small wings, but the wind of the fan is a bit strong this time.

He is also a little worried, because this successive mergers and acquisitions have changed the pattern of some Hollywood. Although the overall change is not significant, there are changes. He is now worried that the future development deviation is too big and difficult to control.

The only thing I am glad about is that even if I just came to the United States and didn't have much money, I still had some good scripts in my hand. Later, I acquired some more, and I have the confidence to fight with these big companies, otherwise I might really be spoiled by them.

"Well, now you're a veritable '-stirrer'." Fang Yufu looked at Liu Anran and said jokingly.

"How aggrieved do I have to be? Paramount has always wanted to deal with me, okay? Makes me look like a terrorist. I thought that if I visited that independent film company tomorrow, I guess the front foot will go in, and the back foot will buy them. Liu Anran said with a wry smile.

"It seems that this year is not only a critical year for our company, but also a critical year for the entire Hollywood, and there will be a possibility of merger in the future. We're kind of out of it, and we'll just buy others. Do you think this cooperation between NBC and Vivendi can be achieved? George said with a smile.

"Pretty much." Liu Anran nodded, "NBC wants to expand its influence in the entertainment industry, and Vivendi also needs external support now, and the cooperation between the two sides has natural advantages." If it weren't for the fear that Smith would be in a hurry, I would have liked to call him and ask. ”

There are all kinds of comments in the media that today's big turmoil is caused by itself, and many people have different opinions about this revolt.

It is said that this can accelerate the integration of the film industry and launch more excellent films. Some people oppose it, saying that the stronger the strength of large companies, the more they will squeeze the living space of small companies, which is not conducive to the development of the Hollywood film industry in the long run.

This is just a matter of the film industry, and Hollywood residents are also joining in the fun, and some time ago they launched a movement for Hollywood to break away from Los Angeles, but it was opposed by the vast majority of residents.
