() Microsoft's entry into Hollywood is nothing new.

In the 80s, when George Lucas had a lot of money and had nowhere to spend, when he spent money on computer special effects, Microsoft, which was also studying the graphical interface, had already hooked up with him; After discovering that Lucas was not interested in computer animation, Microsoft proposed to buy, hoping that Lucas could sell the complete Pixar team to himself, if it wasn't for Jobs finding Spielberg, Lucas and Spielberg were closer, maybe in 86 years, Pixar animation had already been in the hands of Microsoft.

Later, when Pixar Animation was losing money year after year, Microsoft, which had made achievements in the graphical interface, was still raising prices and wanted to buy Pixar Animation from Jobs, but who was Jobs? He is the biggest guy in the tech circle who looks down on Gates the most!

If you buy it from someone else, he may have already sold it, and now Gates wants to buy it? Dream!

It is precisely because of Jobs' tough attitude that Hollywood giants will be a little relieved, although for them, Microsoft is a layman in entertainment, but the professional team can still shine brightly if they spend money.

Not to mention what Microsoft can do, but no one wants the rich giants to enter the market with money and screaming, after all, the entertainment cake is so big, one more person will share, and others will eat less.

But now—

What the hell did Microsoft invest in DreamWorks?

The guy with the highest box office as a director in the world, the highest box office as a producer, and the guy who knows the market the most accepted Microsoft's investment?

Isn't this the rhythm of Silicon Valley's invasion of Hollywood?

Although at the same time as the news was announced, the Hollywood giants had already made people find out the reason, and learned that the investment of 500 million shares of 18.5 was made by Paul Allen alone, and Paul Allen had already left Microsoft, but-

He had a falling out with Bill Gates, but he had reconciled with the other party in '87, and when he bought the Seattle SuperSonics of the Mosaic League, Bill Gates was the only guy who appeared in the audience with him.

And the reason why he bought the Seattle SuperSonics of the Mosaic League is also very simple, because Microsoft is headquartered in Seattle, and he doesn't need to fly around when he invites Bill Gates to watch the game.

As for Samsung...... Their presence did not provoke a strong reaction from the Hollywood giants.

Although Koreans can't get rid of three things in their lives' 'death, taxes, and Samsung', Lee Mi-kyung, who invested in DreamWorks, is not Lee Kun-hee's daughter! It's the daughter of Lee Meng-hee, the eldest son of Samsung's founder Lee Byung-cheol!

Where is the difference between Lee Mong-hee and Lee Kun-hee?

The story of the love and killing of the Samsung Li family can not be told for three days and three nights, and generally speaking, Li Meijing's father Li Mengxi, when Samsung broke up, did not get any property of Samsung Group, as the eldest prince who did not learn and did not know how to learn, carrying the name of Samsung, and doing a bunch of heinous work such as smuggling, this kind of brain-dead behavior naturally made him lose the favor of his father, and after the death of his father, he inherited the First Sugar Company, which was later renamed CJ Group.

And Lee Kun-hee, that is the current head of Samsung Group.

Lee Mi-kyung and Lee Kun-hee, who invested in DreamWorks, are uncles and nieces, but this relationship is useless in the eyes of Hollywood giants, because Samsung Group, which is still buying semiconductor products from Sony, is simply not enough!

If it was Lee Kun-hee who went to DreamWorks, they would still pay attention to it, and the daughter of the waste prince?

Hehe......

What's the point of 300 million to get 10.8 percent of the shares?

Is South Korea's entertainment industry enough to watch?

Except for money, Li Meijing has nothing!

And if you really want to dig out your pockets and compare money - the one who gets up year after year and shouts, 'Lao Tzu is going bankrupt!' Hurry up and lend some money to Lao Tzu to operate! MGM Luen Mei is not afraid of CJ Group!

After all, the Brockery/Wilson family behind them don't want to see the 007 franchise collapse!

In this way, what really warns Hollywood giants is actually the money invasion and technical support of Silicon Valley!

They didn't know how much impact DreamWorks' three SSR-level leading parties would have on the current film and television industry, but just when they urgently held a meeting to deal with the sudden news, Sony, which had been quiet for half a year, and Spielberg, issued another cooperation announcement.

Sony announced the spin-off of Columbia International and Samsung International under the name of Samsung Pictures, and the transfer of 41 distribution offices and 26 long-term cooperation agreements to the newly established company.

Not only that, Sony also sold 50% of the shares of the new company in exchange for the investment rights of the "Spider-Man" trilogy and Spielberg's series of films, and the new company has only three shareholders, except for Sony, which accounts for half of the shares, and the remaining half, Roland and Spielberg hold half of the shares.

When this news appeared, Ben was still there thinking about how to kill the giants of DreamWorks, and they were all stunned!

hat？

stoppppp！

Balls are all good!

You big-eyed DreamWorks** turned out to be an ally?

Ben was still pondering there, should everyone work together, Time Warner, Viacom, Disney, MGM and the United States twisted into a rope, united, and took away the DreamWorks who wanted to do things in waves, and they all stopped!

If it was just the formation of DreamWorks, then they would definitely not be polite to Spielberg's old friends, because the table for sharing the cake is so big, and it can't accommodate the emerging capital of Silicon Valley to beep here!

But the problem is, if you eat Sony's overseas releases, then everyone is a friend!

Because Sony has always been an alien force they want to get rid of!

When Sony acquired Colombian Samsung, it was the heyday of the Japanese economy, and it happened to be the trough of the American economy at the same time, but even so, in the face of Sony's hot money, this group of guys still did not feel cold.

Since Coca-Cola sold Columbia Pictures, everyone has tacitly agreed to set up Sony.

Participate in bidding and force Sony to acquire at a premium; instigated Sony to hire the well-known Gonghuo brothers; Time Warner waited for an opportunity to make a move, and swept up a billion dollars in Sony's acquisition; All kinds of bigwigs are even more immortals across the sea to show their own powers, Spielberg, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, Francis Coppola, these guys have contributed one brilliant report after another to Sony, but also squeezed the profits of the film to be wiped out, otherwise, even if Sony is stupid, it will not be able to lose nearly 300 million in five years! Even if you don't understand the rules of the game, you still have the eye to distinguish profits, right?

In fact, from the very beginning, these guys didn't take Sony seriously, in their opinion, even if the Japanese consortium buys a lot of American companies, in the end, they have to spit out with interest, Mitsubishi buys Rockefeller Center? In the end, it didn't return to Goldman Sachs at half price? Hideki Yokoi bought the Empire State Building? Now half of it has fallen into the hands of Chuan Jianguo! Panasonic, which dared to buy an American music company, is now crying and shouting for a pick-up man! And Sony......

They feel that Sony, which is already about to lose money and cry, can't last long at all!

Of course, this was the previous idea, and to be precise, it was the industry consensus before Sony announced that it had obtained the investment rights in "Spider-Man" - but after winning "Spider-Man", these giants no longer thought so!

Because a market-recognized A+List can afford a company's performance!

MGM back then was carried by death like this!

That's right, although the circle is harmonious, but when the "Spider-Man" belonging to Sony broke out, their perception of Roland has changed, and then "Forbes" magazine, "forced to buy and sell" hard shoehorn copyright, is a means for them to try, but Roland is not clear, they are ready to finish all the parts, and then carefully study what the relationship between Sony and the Jewish gang is, if these old men are tired of living and want to support Sony, then ......

It's still too late for you to turn around, give up Sony, everyone is still good friends!

And just when the film market is sluggish and everyone is ready to watch the knife......

Sony spent a lot of money to buy the company, and half of the overseas distribution was gnawed off?

Spielberg: Those guys don't want to bring in Silicon Valley money to go it alone, but they want to dismember Sony?

Hold the grass!

Since you want to kill Sony, then the best is a friendly army!

…………

"What's going on now?"

On the slopes of Beverly Hills, Beverly Hills' most hidden gem is Beverly Garden, a vast green space with dozens of mansions of all styles hidden in the midst of flowers and flowers, and the heavy iron gates that separate them from the world.

The people who can live here are either Hollywood superstars, senior producers, media tycoons, even the smallest houses, the price has never been less than 10 million, and in such a garden, the seventy-one-year-old rich man who just climbed out of the pool sat on the edge of the recliner, letting the waiter wipe his body for him, and his eyes have been focused on the middle-aged man next to him, "Outside, it seems to be very noisy?" ”

“yeah。” The middle-aged man in the plaid shirt smiled and nodded, "Steven, they're making too much trouble." ”

"If we just attracted funds from Microsoft and Samsung to form DreamWorks, we would have already targeted them, but the problem is that while setting up DreamWorks, Steven also took half of the shares of Sony's overseas distribution company, if it is to seize the market, we will definitely not give them time to develop, but if it is to replace Sony, then we will not be able to do it......"

The bald middle-aged man's words made the old man laugh, his left hand was raised lightly, and the waiter who knew it in his heart naturally handed over the wine glass, and after taking a sip, the old man asked again: "This shouldn't be your idea alone, right?" ”

"Of course!" The bald middle-aged man responded: "Jeffrey, Gary, these guys are not doing it now, because we all want to find out what the hell is going on......"

The bald middle-aged Jeffrey and Gary are the two helmsmen of Time Warner, and the old man who asks about things here is Somer Lei Shidong, the boss of Viacom, and the bald man is Philip Daum, the deputy who has followed Lei Shidong for more than ten years.

"You think they're dismembering Sony?" Lei Shidong asked.

"Possibly." Philip's answer was not so affirmative.

"Why?" Lei Shidong put down his wine glass.

"The first to occupy overseas distribution?" Philip's eyes flickered.

Although he has followed Lei Shidong for more than ten years, Philip still doesn't dare to confront him, because he knows that the other party is a violent temper, if his answer deviates too much from Lei Shidong's thoughts, then Lei Shidong will definitely scold without face.

"Although the channel of overseas distribution is not making money now, it is definitely a manifestation of Sony's soft service to sell it hastily."

"Since the acquisition, Sony has lost money for five consecutive years, which is in line with our expectations, and in our estimates, if Sony still has no hope of making a profit, then they can only give up the film and television entertainment project like Panasonic, and now they would rather sell the shares of overseas distribution companies than win over Steven and them, don't they just want to make a last ditch fight before the official launch? If they can make a profit, they still have hope of rising, if they can't make a profit, then they ......"

"I'm afraid it's going to be officially quit."

Why are these media giants crowding out Sony?

Isn't it just that there is no room for outsiders in the whole circle!

The two helmsmen of Time Warner are either Jews or married Jewish wives, Lei Shidong, who controls Viacom, the parent company of Paramount, is Jewish, and Stanley Gold, who has the majority of Disney's shares, is also Jewish, and after cutting these three, Universal is looking for a new owner, Sony is biting Hollywood, and Fox -

Although the interesting Murdoch is not Jewish, he has one-eighth Jewish ancestry, and although he is not welcomed as a friendly Jew, everyone has no intention of attacking him immediately, so it seems that it is not natural to kill Sony?

Because now there is only one outsider tossing around in the business!

Kill Sony because their identity is wrong, and the weapon of public opinion cannot be mastered by outsiders, and they want to kill DreamWorks because the knife to divide the cake is full, but if DreamWorks only eats Sony's part......

"If DreamWorks wants to replace Sony, that's actually a good thing for us." Philip shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sony's ownership of Columbia's Samsung Pictures and music companies doesn't mean much to us. ”

"Our next goal is to buy CBS, and Time Warner is eyeing the Turner broadcast network, Disney wants to eat ABC, for us, the first to carve up the cable media network, is the most important thing, the film company, the music company these things are not important to the channel at all, and their existence and our Paramount, Time Warner's Warner Bros., and Disney's own business overlapped, maybe Disney without a live-action film business will want to eat Columbia, But it doesn't mean much to us to eat Colombia......"

That's right, Roland originally wanted to borrow Sony's channels to break through the blockade of the Big Six, but for these giants, what they were afraid of was not DreamWorks' ability to create myths at all, but that there were too many people who shared the cake!

For them, the cake of entertainment, six people have already survived, if they tolerate the entry of DreamWorks supported by Silicon Valley, then their interests will be damaged, but if the total number of six people who share the cake remains the same, and DreamWorks only replaces Sony to share the cake, then they are still welcome! Because the DreamWorks Triumvirate is all Jewish! Their interests are the same!

In their opinion, Roland's channel for Spielberg to eat Sony is not the meaning of uniting Sony against the five at all, but uniting the five and eating Sony with their help! Because in the previous five years, Spielberg 'cheated' at least 100 million from Sony alone! Everyone has a tacit understanding! Everyone knows it!

Roland himself will feel that instigating Spielberg to exchange game rights for overseas distribution is a way of showing his power!

In fact, the old man is even clearer than him! If you take Sony's channel, your own people won't beat him for the time being!

Because on the surface, they are unanimous in their outwards!

Since they're allies, no one will treat them to pasta!

Since the DreamWorks Big Three want to replace Sony, Colombia and Samsung, the interests of the other companies are the same!

"I can understand your thoughts, but how do you explain that 25 percent of Sony's new distribution company is in the hands of Roland Allen?" Lei Shidong waved his hand and motioned for the waiters who were staying on the side to go down.

"If DreamWorks is trying to take Sony's place, then tell me, why isn't Sony's newly established distribution company directly owned by DreamWorks? But Steven and Roland split it up? ”

"Because the half that belongs to Roland, DreamWorks can't take it." Philip had already seen all the materials looted by his subordinates before he came, "All the copyrights sold by Marvel are now on Roland, and the "Spider-Man" he and James made up is the project that Ronald (Perelman) and Carl (Icahn) need......"

"We can say that they are tinkering with what they like, or we can say that they are helping those two guys play ball advertising, but in either case, we can't deny the possibility that Ronald and Carl may profit from this, the two of them used Marvel shares as collateral, issued junk bonds and merged other assets, and cashed out a total of almost one billion, in order to stabilize the stock price, they need to let shareholders see the film and television painting pie painted in 91, in this case, Roland will cry if he is bullied, Do you think they'll stay on Wall Street and ignore it? I still have money to do things with you, Roland helped them stand on the stage once when Marvel was listed, and then helped Carl's brother advertise once, and cooperated with them to carry out a relationship hype, Roland is so knowledgeable, and there are people who want to rob him of what he deserves, then the two of them, but they will really beat people......"

"And the company that is targeted by the two of them at the same time, can it last for three months or half a year?"

"Besides, isn't Roland a student of Steven? Roland holds the equity, isn't it Steven who holds the equity? The two of them hold shares in the department, and if they encounter something, they can discuss it behind closed doors, but if it is put in DreamWorks, the three founders and the two major shareholders, every time they encounter a problem, do they have to have a meeting and quarrel? ”

"Hey......

Philip's words made Lei Shidong laugh, and the corners of his grinning mouth showed the joy in his heart, "You mean, there are also contradictions within DreamWorks, and we will let it go now, and the final situation will only be that DreamWorks and Sony disappear at the same time?" ”

"No one can guarantee this kind of thing, because there is also a situation where the DreamWorks project is popular and Sony is following behind to make a profit." Philip didn't mean to pack the ticket, "We never question Steven's talent in movies, DreamWorks and Sony share channels, it's still very easy to make it, and Sony will definitely find a way to tinker with its own project after turning a profit, so, I personally think that while we are keeping an eye on CBS, we also want Paramount to give Sony some fun, DreamWorks has a high probability of making a profit, and Sony also has a high probability of turning over, and at this time, If Sony's own projects continue to lose money, then they will have to rely on DreamWorks all the time. ”

"In this case, Microsoft and Samsung, who see the possibility of annexing Sony, have a high probability of continuing to inject capital and let the three of them eat Sony, and as long as they fight, there are many things we can do."

Yes, although Time Warner and Viacom can accept six people to share the cake, but the fewer hands that share the cake, the more they will earn? Raising DreamWorks and Sony into a fight was the most they wanted to see, and now......

"Leave them alone for the time being, let them cooperate for a while." Lei Shidong put down his wine glass and said with a final word: "No one will interfere in the project of "Spider-Man", no one wants to provoke those two wolves, and our goal now is to rob the cable TV network, and the market share cannot be eaten by Time Warner and Disney!" ”

At the same time that Viacom's helmsman Lei Shidong made this decision, Time Warner and Disney also maintained a high degree of unanimity, and after seeing GM's NBC make such a sassy operation, occupying the cable network is their biggest goal, as for the establishment of DreamWorks and Sony's cooperation with them?

It doesn't matter if it's cooperation or embezzlement, there's no hurry, let the bullets fly for a while!

It doesn't make much sense to shoot now, not only that, the only target they can hammer at this time is Roland, but no one has a bad head to hammer Roland! They do have a big family, but they don't have a money printing machine at home!

And if Roland knew what these people thought, then he would only sigh, the world is unpredictable!

He knows a lot, but that doesn't mean he knows it all!

Cooperating with Sony can be thought by these guys as wanting to swallow Sony?

Hold the grass! If he had known that this group of guys had this kind of thought, then he would still be worried about a chicken!

Let the old man go to the top wave first?

Hehe, this group of people didn't even think about fighting immediately!

However, this is also a good thing for Roland.

Sneak into the village, don't shoot guns!

Inform the other party before you do anything?

Isn't that brain-dead!

The tacit understanding of these giants is naturally impossible to be publicized by the media, of course, this is nonsense, the media is all opened by their family, how can people say bad things about themselves?

In this way, after the news of the establishment of DreamWorks was released, the outside world was amazed, and those unknown melon-eating people were full of infinite expectations for the formation of the Big Three, in their opinion, this is the voice of resistance from entertainment to capital, those who really like music, animation, and movies, hope that DreamWorks can continue to dream like the name.

Under the sound of hope, other things are still going on in an orderly manner, "Warcraft" is on the market as scheduled, the Olsen sisters entered the crew of "Game of the Brave" on November 14, Sony PS game consoles were announced on time, and the Christmas schedule also kicked off......

It's a pity that this year is the year of entertainment water reversal!

No matter how the film company struggles, there are always social hot spots and people's livelihood news to grab the headlines!

On December 19, 94, Mexico suddenly announced that its currency, the peso, had depreciated by 15 percent.

The Mexican financial crisis came suddenly.

And what impact did this kingdom that was close to America and needed to be walled and isolated in later generations had on America?

America's 20 billion shares in Mexico directly evaporated 7 billion, plus the depreciation of the peso, the cumulative loss of more than 10 billion, because the money turned into waste paper, prices skyrocketed, some guys who were already living in poverty wanted to take risks and smuggle America into America.

Such behavior has naturally become a social hot spot.

In the face of such a sharp question, what is the Christmas stall?

There is a constant influx of refugees in the country, who still goes to the movies?

The four major states on the U.S.-Mexico border are directly affected, and in this case, the guys who are staring at the cable TV network have no longer hesitated, the movie is damaged, then pull up the TV industry, there will be crises every year, only if the volume is large enough and the business is enough, can we try to survive every time the risk arises!

Ninety-four years are given in vain, and this year's loss means better profits in the future!
