Chapter 268: Say Move the New Line
"Mr. Shay, that's not all." Lin Xiao said seriously, "If a company wants to expand, mergers and acquisitions are the fastest way, and Dawn now has this strength, and we need another opportunity to expand." Of course, I believe that in this financial turmoil, the collapse of large film and television companies is by no means only New Line. ”
This is a hint to Shay that he still has many options, and the new line is just one of them.
Peter moved his lips, but said nothing.
"More importantly, what do you get once the new line is incorporated into Warner? Just to keep it? Even the sign is canceled? This is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst, what about later? Did Mr. Shay think about what to do with the new line? ”
"Warner Bros. is the real team of Warners, and their biggest resource is undoubtedly inclined to Warner Bros., you may say, the new line does not necessarily get more resources than Warner, maybe there will be more in the past. That's right, that's what you said, but have you ever thought about it, the current one, it's all your own, and to merge with Warner, you need to accept Warner's handouts. They may start out with a lot of them, but once they're in a bad mood one day, it's impossible to say. ”
"Even a director like Nolan has been pushed out to testify against me in court, what else can't they do? Even without that, with the results of the new line in recent years, guess what Warner would do? ”
Without waiting for Shay to speak, he continued, "If I were the CEO of Warner, I would definitely take back the distribution rights of more than 50 million of the new line, the excuse is very simple, that is, the new line has not performed well, and it is different to ask for it and others to ask for it, as for when it will be returned, it is uncertain...... Again, if it were me, I would use the resources of New Line to support Warner Bros. until New Line was completely merged into Warner Bros., and from then on, there would be no such company as New Line. ”
In the previous life, Warner did exactly that.
Saying this, Lin Xiao didn't expect Shay to promise him on the spot, and even if he agreed on the spot, it was just a verbal promise, and it could be changed at any time. He knew that Shay would definitely go to Warner, but if the answer he got was the same as he said, Warner really asked for more than 50 million distribution rights, then under this psychological hint, the rift between Shay and Warner would be out of control.
Psychology is the most mysterious thing in people, and a small hint is likely to receive unexpected effects.
Shay didn't speak, but calmed down, sat down and glanced at Lin Xiao, and asked in a low voice, "So what can Shuguang give?" ”
"It's very simple, Dawn will not manage all the actions of the new line, but correspondingly, all the profits of the new line must also be separated from Dawn, that is to say, we belong to two different departments under the dawn, but the dawn will not ask the new line for results."
Shay's eyes flashed, this was the result he wanted to see the most, as long as he could get through this level, he believed that the whole new line would come back to life!
One of the top 10 illusions in life: I can do it.
Shay is now this delusion, or rather, obsession.
"What does the new line cost?"
"If you want to merge and acquire New Line, then you must hold New Line stocks, of course, even if I sweep the shares of New Line, I can't compare to Warner's, so ......"
"So you want us to use the original shares! The new line and the dawn buy the new line together?! ”
Shay gasped, this is tantamount to declaring independence to Warner, which will touch Warner's scales!
In an empire, grades are one thing, but there is another thing, which is just as important as grades, and that is majesty!
The reason why Warner will deal with Lin Xiao quickly is, to put it bluntly, that Lin Xiao slapped Warner in front of the world.
The territory that already belongs to the empire actually wants to swear independence, and it is dawn again! One can imagine how angry Warner will be!
Lin Xiao's approach made him very excited, if he could really do one country, two systems like China, this would definitely be the result he hoped for the most, and once he bought the shares of the new line, the new line immediately had life-saving money! They can just bet on the next movie!
Although the company sign hangs under the dawn, it is better than disappearing completely!
He glanced at Lin Xiao deeply, and suddenly said, "Mr. Lin, it looks like ...... You're not satisfied with China's territory anymore......"
Lin Xiao smiled, "If you can make it bigger, why don't you make it bigger?" This financial crisis is a huge blow to other companies, but I think Mr. Shay should understand the current situation. ”
Shay sighed.
How did he not understand? Now the dawn is falling, and the fat is flowing oil! It can be said that the Big Six can't come up with so much cash from them, and the funds of the Big Six will be withdrawn once they are withdrawn, leaving operating funds and anti-risk funds, as well as an emergency fund, special funds, and all the others are invested in movies, television, and records.
Although it is possible for them to use the funds they want to retain, billions or tens of billions, but the dawn is by no means a reason for them to use this funds, and now this funds, they will use them with all their strength to resist the financial turmoil, let alone use it because of a dawn.
In the world, I am afraid that only Dawn is willing to use this condition to merge and acquire a new line at this time!
He calmed down and asked, "What about the conditions?" ”
"It's very simple, the movies shot in Hollywood after Dawn need to be produced by a new line, that is to say, the new line becomes the production unit of Daybreak, and the specific division needs to be discussed after a merger."
Lin Xiao seemed to be calm when he spoke, but he knew in his heart how big a trap this step was.
Without it, within two years, the world's film industry will be in a slump, and according to what he said, what is his greatest strength? Not the system, but the prophet!
He clearly knows that there will be no good movies after the new line! Performance has been sluggish!
However, any company that wants to be big, and soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, and the new line will not be willing to go on like this, they will look for dependence.
This dependence, Lin Xiao will naturally give them, that is a series of dramas that every company is extremely extravagant!
The so-called series of dramas, does not mean that filming Men in Black 123 is a series of dramas, even if Men in Black is popular, but they have no foundation for the masses, and they will be forgotten for a long time, the real series of blockbusters has a broad mass base and a deep human history, such as Chibi, such as Harry Potter, so that it will be long-lived, and the next one is not expected to be hyped.
When the new line can't shoot anything on its own, the Warcraft series given by Daybreak will become their lifeline, with this kind of start, even if Daybreak doesn't do anything, over time, the new line will automatically regard Daybreak as their parent company!
This is Huairou, which is completely different from Warner's iron-blooded wrist, but the effect is the same, and the most important thing is that Dawn and Warner are completely different. When it comes to Warner's status, they won't look at the life and death of the re-line, after all, they have Warner brothers, and the different attitudes have led to very different means.
"Shay." Peter suddenly spoke, "I have to tell you something...... Lin has already decided to work with me in the next play, and he is the leading actor ......"
"Invest more than 200 million."
Shay's eyes lit up suddenly. However, the next sentence made him completely shocked.
"The subject matter is World of Warcraft."
"Whew......" Shay's breathing was a little heavy.
He is a person who dares to gamble, or to put it bluntly, a gambler, when no one dared to shoot the Lord of the Rings, he read the script and asked directly, "Isn't the original book three?" Why only make one? "That's the Lord of the Rings.
Similarly, World of Warcraft is now taking the world by storm, he is playing it himself, and he knows very well how much potential this game has.
However, the greater the potential, the greater the risk, at least until now, Blizzard's games have sold all over the world, but no company has dared to shoot them.
Now, there is.
"I will hand over this play to the new line production, directed by Peter." Lin Xiao said that this is also his method, Peter has an irreversible relationship with the new line, and he just uses this drama to resolve the gap between the new line and the run-in stage of dawn.
Shay stood up, took out the cigarette case he was carrying, took out one, thought about it, and handed it to Lin Xiao, "Do you want one?" ”
"Thanks, I don't smoke."
Shay nodded, nodding to himself, intoxicated by the clouds and smoke.
It was a long time before he extinguished the cigarette butt, swallowed his spit, and said, "I can't promise you." ”
"I still need to think about it. However, thank you, Mr. Lin, and I promise that your proposal will be carefully considered. ”
Peter wanted to say something, Shay waved his hand "Peter, my old fellow, this matter is not only about me, but also about the big family of the new line, I can't rush to agree, yes, I know that in your opinion, the publicity of Dawn is very strong, the world's first video network, and it is still the most influential video network, Dawn is well funded, but ...... I have to think about it too much...... Hope understood. ”
Lin Xiao nodded, "Then, I'm looking forward to Mr. Shay's choice." ”
chatted for a while about irrelevant topics, most of which were everyone's opinions on film and television, and Shay sent off the guests.
After getting in the car, Peter said apologetically, "Lin, sorry, I don't seem to be able to help." ”
"You've helped a lot." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "If it weren't for you, Shay's attitude wouldn't have softened so quickly, and he wouldn't have lost his temper a few times, and after the merger, Mr. Peter's film would have been needed to integrate the emotions of both parties." ”
"Are you so sure you'll merge with the new line?"
Lin Xiao said with certainty, "Shay didn't agree, because he didn't hear Warner's request, now it's just a condition on my side, he is a film and television person, and he is also a businessman, so he naturally has to choose the best." ”
His eyes flashed, "And I believe that with Warner's status, there will definitely be no good conditions!" At least countless times worse than my conditions! At that time, for the sake of the new line, even if he tried to defy Warner, he could only join forces with me! ”
He only said one sentence to Shay, that is, Warner would take back the distribution rights of more than $50 million in the new line, and when this matter became a fact, Shay's heart was completely biased towards Dawn.
Even if it doesn't work, he has one last resort.
And this trick will definitely make the new line really nod!
