……

"The Avengers" currently has a global box office that directly beats the first three "Spider-Man", "The Dark Knight" and "Iron Man 2", becoming the most successful hero movie. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) At the same time, with the global box office exceeding 1.1 billion US dollars, it has also achieved Li Donglai's third personal film work of 1 billion US dollars, and the total box office of the director's works has broken through, second to Spielberg by a slight margin.

Although he lived in seclusion, his personal prestige reached another peak.

Among the overseas box office maps of "The Avengers", the British and Chinese tables are the most eye-catching, and the film has accumulated to 6.57 million and 6.23 million US dollars respectively in these two countries. In addition, the Avengers are also very strong in countries such as Mexico (4.96 million), South Korea (4.13 million), Australia (4.5 million), Russia (3.6 million), France (3.34 million) and Germany (2.41 million).

This week, Tim Burton's "Dark Shadow" teamed up with Johnny Depp was a dismal box office.

Compared with the frequent good news of "The Avengers", Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's eighth joint creation of "Dark Shadow" was highly anticipated, but its release was disappointing, and the film only earned 2.88 million in North America, and the scene was bleak. The film earned slightly more overseas, earning 3.67 million in 42 countries and regions. Judging from this number, there will not be a very good table xiàn in the future.

In addition, "The Avengers" is also Disney's 5th film with a global box office of 1o billion+, far ahead of the six major Hollywood studios.

However, Hollywood's most watched film company this year is still not Disney. It seems that in order to congratulate the boss Li Donglai on his daughter, the latest overseas box office news was released, after a long release cycle. "The Story of Old Lacey" officially exceeded $600 million at the global box office and has been rolled off the 6th line in various places. "The Hunger Games" still stubbornly stopped in the top 4 of the TOP12 list, taking another $4.51 million this week, with a total box office of 393 million in North America, 270 million at the overseas box office, and a total of $663 million at the global box office, becoming the second film of the Phantom to achieve a global box office of 600 million this year.

And they are next. There is also Li Donglai's R-rated comedy "Teddy Bear", the cost is indeed not high, but with the power of "The Avengers". No one dares to underestimate its box office potential anymore.

During this time, the media paid attention to the film industry, except for "Revenge" or "Revenge", they thought that there would be no more big news students except for Li Donglai to give stars, but unfortunately they were wrong.

On the day of the 14th until the evening. Li Donglai was accompanied by Messiah and others. With a smile on his face, he walked out of the Rainbow Media Holding Group building. This acquisition is really sweaty, if it weren't for the Middle Eastern woman around him, he wouldn't have been able to achieve it anyway, "Messiha, you can actually borrow so much money from a Middle Eastern bank, but you told me that your family doesn't sell oil?" You lied to me. ”

Messiah said proudly, "I'm glad you were fooled." My family sells oil. But now that I'm your creditor, let's think more about how to pay off the debt. ”

Li Donglai shrugged helplessly, "Who would have thought." I was a billionaire one moment, and now I'm a poor egg. It's easy to pay back my debts. Just introduce me to your oil business, and the money will be paid back in no time. ”

"No way, that's not something I can do."

The two quarreled and left the office building, and not long after, AMC TV announced to the outside world that it was acquired by Li Donglai 1oo%, and the company would temporarily withdraw from the stock market for adjustment.

When the news reached the desks of the major media outlets, they even suspected that they had read it wrong, and finally were dumbfounded after several confirmations.

"Extra, extra: the most popular pay TV station among American audiences, AMC American classic movie cable TV station today announced the news that it was acquired by 1oo%, and the acquirer is none other than the famous Li Donglai."

China got the news a little later, and netizens were still inexplicable when they saw the huge headline on the Internet, is AMC TV famous? Can the Chinese buy American TV stations?

As long as you are familiar with American dramas, you basically have a certain understanding of American TV stations.

Television stations in the United States are divided into public stations, and users can connect to the TV antenna and receive the TV station without paying for it. and cable stations, that is, pay TV networks, TV stations that need to pay to watch. Unlike free public stations, cable stations must rely on breaking through conventions and alternative controversies to attract audiences.

There are five major public TV stations and four popular pay stations in the United States, as well as some TV stations that are not big but have many die-hard fans, such as FX TV.

The five largest public television stations include: CBS, ABNETBC, Fox Broadcasting, Columbia, and Warner Bros. Union.

Some of the more popular pay stations include H-Wave Home Theater Network, TNT Turner Network, Shotime Entertainment Time Network, and AMC American Classic Movie Cable Network.

Pay-TV shows in China have been very slow, and most people are used to watching free Shangxing. But in the United States, cable television is a representation of the wealthy. The best run is, of course, H-Wave, who has 1.9oo paying subscribers all year round. The TVs produced are also known for their classics, and they are the monopolists of the Emmys.

It is worth mentioning that the TV series "Mad Men" launched by AMC cable channel in 2OO7 depicting American advertising people in the 60s of the last century. This "revolutionary" TV work was not only well received by the industry and received hot ratings, but also won the best drama series at the Emmy Awards in 2oo8, breaking the previous domination of TVB by H wave and others at the Emmy Awards.

If the Phantom has anything to do with AMC, it's their lead series "The Walking Dead", which is made by the Phantom.

It is said that AMC is not short of money, why was it acquired by Li Donglai?

The only thing they can call troublesome lately is the withdrawal of AMC from Dish-Ork's TV box program in the first half of the year due to commercial disputes. But dish-ork is the rule-breaking existence of Hollywood TV circles. The reputation is not very good, and even if AMC withdraws from Dish-Ork, it still doesn't hurt. At most, it's a little less money. It is not a reason for the acquisition.

The media began to hate that they didn't have a pair of miles of ears, and they didn't get any news in advance. They are known as the uncrowned kings, and their investigative abilities are naturally pervasive. The editor-in-chief gave an order, and the subordinate reporters had to get the news in their hands even if they broke their legs.

Many people noticed that the acquisition was taken by Lee Dong-lai and not by the Phantom Company.

However, U.S. law stipulates that non-U.S. nationals cannot own U.S. television stations. The film company founded by Li Donglai in the United States has grown enough to threaten Hollywood's Big Seven, which has made many conservatives jealous. Now he dares to meddle in the TV station and ignore the laws of the United States, which is worth it.

Before the truth is known. The local media began a long series of accusations and discussions. Many people who do not know the truth have been incited by conservatives to resist Li Donglai's acquisition of amnetbsp; All of them have intervened in the TV station, and the US government cannot ignore it. The White House even sent a special investigation team to find out the truth of the matter.

Li Donglai is about to be awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But this wind direction is getting stronger and stronger. The strange thing is that Li Donglai has been sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai and has not responded.

The more he does not respond, the more crazy the media will become, and they will not give up if they do not blow up Li Donglai's acquisition contract. Because they all know that AMC and Phantom together is not a simple 1+1 problem. If you look at what the Phantom has achieved so far, it may not be a few years. AMC will become the leading television station of the cable network.

Soon they found out the answer from AMC TV.

There was no formal signing contract, but the name of the shareholder shown on the letter of intent for the acquisition was not Li Donglai. Rather, three unfamiliar names, Elsa Lee, Anna Lee, Hero-Lee...... Three points of the world.

"Who are they?"

"Well, Elsa Lee is a name that was registered just a week ago and is the daughter of Lee Donglai and Emma Watson. Who is Anna Lee, Hero-Lee? "Reminiscent of the previous news, Li Donglai took Yoona to the hospital for a pregnancy test, and now it seems that the news is true. This Korean Cinderella is definitely pregnant, not only pregnant with one but both.

But these two babies haven't been born yet, maybe only a meat ball with a bigger fist will actually become a major shareholder of a TV station with a market value of billions?

More and more information is being revealed, and this acquisition war is gradually coming into the eyes of financial experts.

Classic, can be called a classic instant acquisition battle.

First, it acquired the shares scattered in the market with lightning speed, and then quickly completed the share transfer agreement with several shareholders of Rainbow Holdings. After Li Donglai had reached the fact that the established acquisition had been reached, he publicly entered the Rainbow Holding Group building and held a general meeting of shareholders to complete the final acquisition.

It is not known how this process will be.

However, this acquisition has mobilized a huge amount of more than 500 million US dollars, of which in addition to Li Donglai's personal funds, a larger part of the funds actually came from the largest bank in the Middle East country Kuwait, the Central Bank of Kuwait.

Kuwait has proven oil reserves of 9.4 billion barrels, about 1o% of the world's total reserves, a country that sleeps on oil. The whole world will not doubt their property. But when did Li Donglai get involved with the Middle East Bank, with a lightning loan of billions, and the tax rate was surprisingly low?

After an investigation, I learned that Li Donglai has always been surrounded by a Middle Eastern woman named Messiah who helps with investment and financial management, and she is also quite famous in Waltz. It is astonishing that there are women in such an Islamic nation-state who are so outstanding in the financial center of the Western world.

There is no doubt that the loan from the Middle East is certainly the Messiah who played a large role in this. For the Central Bank of Kuwait, they are not short of money or fame, and cooperating with Li Donglai is also a win-win situation.

Currently, the Central Bank of Kuwait is constructing a new building in the Sahrq area. There was a good thing for the media to interview, and President Sheikh Salim Abdulaziz Al-Sabah took the opportunity of the media to invite Li Donglai to travel to Kuwait.

"Ha, all the good things are taken up by Li Donglai alone." (To be continued......)
