Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

"Not only that, but many subsidiaries of Phantom Animation, Phantom TV, Phantom Records, and Phantom Bank are all very dynamic. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) According to the grapevine, the Phantom is seeking AMC TV. Because it's just gossip, again I can't be sure whether it's true or not. After all, American television stations do not allow foreigners to own, of course, if Li Donglai is willing to naturalize, I think the immigration bureau will definitely welcome it, but this possibility is very small. ”

Li Donglai only saw the Los Angeles Times after returning to Los Angeles the next day. There are nothing about the evaluation reports about the phantom, but the last piece of gossip almost didn't make Li Donglai break out in a cold sweat.

Hurry up and call Messiah, "The acquisition can be expedited, so as not to have too many dreams at night." "Now that the funds raised by the listing have exceeded expectations, Li Donglai also seems to be full of confidence.

"But boss, your child hasn't been born yet, do you want to transfer to the United States?"

"It's almost raw. In short, try your best to solve a qiē side trivialities. ”

Affected by the overwhelming advertising, the next day almost the "Phantom Group" shares just opened, buy orders flocked, this day seems to be completely unaffected by the previous day before the suspension of hot money shipments, the "Phantom Group" stock price plummeted, a morning even only the sell is far from being able to buy, the stock price rose ferociously broke through 2o US dollars, until noon before the suspension of the market to close to the stable.

The Phantom's stock sold well, which also caught a competitor by surprise.

Lionsgate, Legend, and Peak, which were originally still tied with the Phantom, these backbones were instantly thrown away by the Phantom. When he looked up again, the Phantom had already begun to pursue the Hollywood Seven.

There is an old Chinese saying that it is called the three fires of the first office.

Other Hollywood companies were quick to feel the impact of the Phantom's first fire.

"The Story of Old Lacey" continued to be released, and in the third week, under the impact of the comedy "Dragon Tiger Boys" co-starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, it won $2.28 million this week and temporarily ranked second, with a total of 158 million in North America. The overseas box office continues to be hot, and the total global box office has exceeded 300 million.

Sure enough, it was a good help, and the Phantom Company's movies did not disappoint again, and the stock would not plummet due to inflated prices.

Hollywood is a mature base for the film industry. In Hollywood's overall revenue. The DVD business contributes more than 5o% of the share, and only 2o% of Hollywood's total revenue comes from the theatrical box office. The remaining 3o% comes from on-demand, airing of satellite TV, cable TV, etc., and the biggest cake is provided by the sale and rental of movie DVDs.

The cost of a DVD is about $4, counting shipping costs, etc., DVDs will not exceed $5, while the difference between the cost of Blu-ray Disc and DVD is $2. A DVD costs $8-$11, and a Blu-ray disc costs $35-$32, which is why major studios like to sell DVDs.

However, the first fire does not refer to "The Story of Old Lacey", and the excitement is not there.

The Washington Post burst out. Recently, two "qingren" people revealed that the Phantom Group intervened in Lionsgate's acquisition plan for "Twilight" producer Summit Entertainment, and wanted to intercept the acquisition with an offer of $412.5 million and $3ooo made by Lionsgate.

Lionsgate's stock has been hit by its peers recently, and it has been in decline.

originally wanted to stimulate the stock market by acquiring Summit Entertainment, but who wanted to even be cut off. The Phantom is like a tyrant. Waving a checkbook, shouting in Hollywood that I want to buy it. Vulgar and crude, but this trick is the most effective way in Hollywood.

Lionsgate was exposed and went to war with the Phantom again in the media.

All of Hollywood is watching the takeover battle between three of Hollywood's largest independent production companies. It's not the first time the Phantom and Lionsgate have fought each other, having already done it once before when they bought the rights to The Hunger Games. That time it was the Phantom who spent a lot of money. Purchase the next copyright.

That competition also made Lionsgate see Li Donglai's paranoia. As long as he likes it, no matter how much money he spends, he will pull it down.

This time it was even more inextricably fought, and the boss of Lionsgate almost stood in the newspaper and scolded. But Li Donglai was silent, and the only person who came out to confront him was Ge Bulin, the Phantom's propaganda director. The more silent Li Donglai became, the more he seemed to be bound to win. Everyone knows that Li Donglai became famous in Hollywood by relying on "Twilight", so this time the repurchase of the copyright of "Twilight" is located at Summit Entertainment. How determined will it be?

Summit Entertainment is happy to watch the competition, bid it, the more the better.

It's a pity that they were also disappointed, Lionsgate didn't dare to shell out more money to fight a takeover war with the local tyrant Phantom, and Summit Entertainment itself was still burdened with a debt of 500 million, which also made them lose their bargaining capital.

In the end, the latecomer Phantom Group took on a total of $500 million in debt from Summit Entertainment. and paid it $442.5 million in cash or debt to complete the acquisition of Summit Entertainment.

The total purchase price is as high as 900 million.

In return for the acquisition, the Ghost Group will acquire the rights to a large number of films, including the teenage vampire series "Twilight" and "Bomb Disposal Unit," increasing its library to 13,000 films. More importantly, it will also gain access to the latter's overseas markets, so as to make up for its shortcomings in this area and further expand its overseas markets.

In the second fire, the Phantom Group negotiated with Japan's Toho Group, the copyright owner of "Godzilla", to cut off the Hu from Legendary Pictures and win the remake rights of "Godzilla".

The team that represented Li Donglai to negotiate in Japan was warmly sought after by the Japanese media. Sean announced that he would do his best to start the plan, and would work with Toho to shoot a new American version of "Godzilla", and that Japanese actors would be selected to play important roles at that time, which was also one of Toho's requirements. They were very afraid that Li Donglai would make Japan's Godzilla a Chinese monster, but Li Donglai had no intention of doing so at all, and readily agreed to the conditions.

So Dongbao also happily gave up Legendary Pictures and chose Phantom, which has a more guaranteed box office, as the partner object.

When Wen Ziren saw the news, he was very excited, "Is your first blockbuster about to start?" ”

He was so excited that he looked for all Godzilla movies and television works to watch. I was immersed in this big monster for days. It wasn't until Li Donglai called him that he got out of the monster. "Are you ready, my conditions have been met. Then "Godzilla" will be handed over to you? ”

"Huhu, to be honest, I'm so excited that I can't sleep for days."

Li Donglai smiled: "It's not okay if you can't sleep." That will affect your work efficiency, so you have to take care of your body. ”

"Thanks, I'll take note. When can I start drying? Wen Ziren felt that he couldn't wait.

Li Donglai Shi Shiran said: "Then it's up to you, choose the script first." Will you come to the company tomorrow to sign a contract? ”

"Okay, I'll be on time."

The third fire, the phantom suddenly sharpened his knife to the legend.

He has been interested in World of Warcraft for a long time, and he used to have low energy. Right now. Say whatever you want, you have to take the right to shoot. They made a formal request to Blizzard to acquire the rights to World of Warcraft. And there is a great temptation that the film will be directed by Li Donglai himself, and the final investment will not be less than 300 million US dollars, and the budget can be increased again if necessary.

The most important thing is that Warcraft has been masturbated year after year, and the director has changed one after another. The legend still hasn't seen it come out. Li Donglai eagerly wanted to take over, and they were naturally very moved. Well, the threshold is on the Legend's side.

In fact, Legendary Pictures' attitude towards "World of Warcraft" is also polarized, and the reason why it has been delayed year after year is not without reason. First, scripts are a big global problem, and good scripts are hard to find. Second, if "World of Warcraft" is to be filmed well, it needs a large investment. This big is not ordinary. They budgeted several times, and each time it was no less than 300 million. This made them very frustrated and worried that they would not be able to recover their costs.

Of course, World of Warcraft hasn't been released for several years, but there are still topics coming out from time to time, apparently because there are some people within the saga who firmly believe in its commercial value. Legend cooperates with Blizzard, and even if it owns the copyright, it is difficult to achieve filming and release. If Blizzard is determined to take back the film and television rights. Legends can fight lawsuits, but they know that they can't withstand it for long......

The Phantom has been making big moves since the beginning of spring.

Now that "The Story of Old Lacey" still occupies the top three of the North American weekend box office charts, the Phantom's other long-publicized blockbuster "The Hunger Games" is finally about to be unveiled.

The promotion of the movie skyrocketed, and Jennifer Lawrence and Alex Watson, who starred in the film, also skyrocketed in popularity. Along with it, you have to be on the road even when it's time to eat. The daily itinerary is to run publicity, publicity, and publicity......

"The David Late Show", also known as "The David Lightman Late Show", is a famous talk show on cBs TV in the United States. The host is David Letterman. It has a habit of frequently employing sitcom-style laughter and humorous commentary on current events. All content. Including the participation of citizens and the conversations of guests, they are all written in advance by the screenwriter.

With the sound of music, the show began.

David sat down with his suit buttoned and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, our first guest tonight is a little girl, and her very urgent movie "The Hunger Games - What to Eat Tonight" will be released on Friday. Here she comes, lovely, incomparable James Lawrence. ”

Jennifer was almost tired of crawling, and kept chattering with David, "They told me to watch out for you, saying you were a weird old man." The first sentence made the scene burst into laughter.

"Haha, then be careful."

"No, no, I think it's kind."

"You look tired, have you been busy lately?"

Jennifer was already a little incoherent, "yes, yes, um. I've been running publicity lately, but luckily this is the last stop today. Li Dong came to tell me that I had to run a hundred propaganda points, and then I would be paid 10 million yuan for the next film, and then we ran around like hormones. ”

"Wow, that's nice. Don't you get paid too much now? ”

"Yes...... Be. Sorry, I don't know if they asked me to say that. For the next 10 million salary, I have to fight. ”

"Li Donglai looks quite confident, he directly told sù that you will be paid 10 million yuan for running 100 stations?"

"Yes. You know, he's an amazing man. Recently, the company has just gone public, and the action is very big. None of us are sure. If no one watches the movie, I don't know if it will kill us. ”

"Haha, I think he may be coaxing you, so that you can step up the publicity."

"No!" Jennifer yelled, "If he's lying to us, then...... It's better to just kill yourself. ”
