Disney has been engaged in a two-year acquisition of 21st Century Fox, and a week ago announced that it would launch a $66.1 billion merger, including its 20th Century Fox films, 20th Century Fox television, FX-Networks, National Geographic, and its 30% stake in the streaming platform Hulu.

However, it is worth mentioning that since Disney came out to make trouble with Bluestar Technology's acquisition of Marvel Comics, the "Liangzi" of the two sides has become deeper and deeper, and Di Baobao is difficult to have opponents in Hollywood, and its real major problem is the two content production and streaming platform giants Bluestar Pictures and Netflix.

At the video conference, one of the executives attending the meeting said: "20th Century Fox has Marvel's superhero IP, and it seems that Disney is really playing a lot." ”

At present, the ownership of popular IPs such as X-Men, Deadpool and Fantastic Four is in the hands of 20th Century Fox, and they are all family assets sold by Marvel when it was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Obviously, this regrets the interaction of different characters and stories in the Marvel universe of Marvel, a subsidiary of Blue Star Pictures, if we can merge 21st Century Fox, and let more characters be linked in future movies, such as Deadpool and Spider-Man, good friends in the comics, and then Wolverine and Iron Man.

The starring role of Wolverine has already set a flag, as long as the X-Men can enter the Marvel Universe, he is willing to play Wolverine again, and even Iron Man fights.

The competition between Bluestar Technology and the Hollywood giant has not stopped since the acquisition of Marvel, and the two sides are constantly fighting openly and secretly.

It's just that the friction here is magnified to the entire Bluestar Technology Group, which does not account for too much of the commercial technology empire, but it still has a huge influence in the global film and television entertainment industry.

Now that the senior management of Bluestar Technology has begun to exert efforts in the field of cultural output, intending to occupy its commanding heights, the battle for the film and television sector will only become more fierce than before.

Luo Sheng put his legs on his desk, sat reclining against the boss's chair, and said lightly: "One sentence is over, if the 21st Century Fox is Disney's, we will be uncomfortable; If it's ours, Disney is uncomfortable, we don't want to be uncomfortable, let Disney be uncomfortable, it's as simple as that. ”

If it is swallowed by Disney, the integrity of the Marvel Universe may never be realized, Blue Star Pictures is of course very uncomfortable, and the commercial value mining of the Marvel Universe will also be restricted.

In addition to Marvel's works, 20th Century Fox also mastered the "Avatar", "Alien" and "Planet of the Apes" series, as well as the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" series, "Ace Agent" and other popular works.

On top of that, the company also has the permanent distribution rights of "Star Wars: A New Hope", and if Disney succeeds in the acquisition, and its acquisition of Lucasfilm has already been acquired, then it will have absolute control over the super IP of "Star Wars".

In turn, Bluestar Technology won, not only Marvel superhero IP gathered, but Disney could not wholeheartedly develop the super IP of Star Wars.

Luo Sheng added: "If we buy Fox, we want Bluestar Pictures to have direct control, and IPs such as X-Men and Deadpool cannot be returned to Marvel, lest Marvel make its management bigger and bargain with the parent company." ”

Marvel Studios, a subsidiary of Bluestar Pictures Group, has supported half of Bluestar Pictures' performance because of its popularity in recent years, and to some extent it is a bit kidnapped, and Marvel's management is becoming more and more confident, speaking louder and louder.

If this continues, will there be a strike in two years?

Because Marvel has made some movies, which are mixed with some elements of the Black Chinese Kingdom, although it is relatively obscure, but eating the food of the owner of the black owner, this is obviously floating, Luo Sheng has been unhappy with Marvel management for a long time.

Although Blue Star Pictures is not a jack of all trades, although it promises not to interfere or participate in the day-to-day operations of Marvel management, the company's voting rights at shareholders' meetings are absolute control, but it has not yet used its authority.

If Marvel jumps like AMC theaters, Luo Sheng doesn't mind directly withdrawing the entire Marvel management, and the IP of the Marvel universe will be smashed if it is smashed, and Blue Star Technology can afford to lose hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.

"Iron Man", "Magnesium Team" and "Spider-Man" ostensibly belong to Blue Star Pictures, but their actual ownership is actually in the hands of Marvel, which is affiliated with Blue Star Pictures.

If the acquisition of Fox is successful this time, the IPs of the X-Men must not be returned to the hands of Marvel, and they must be directly controlled by Bluestar Pictures, so as to gain greater control so that Marvel can be a little more restrained.

At this time, Luo Sheng said with an undoubted tone: "M&A is reorganization, the obedient stay, the disobedient are withdrawn, the chaos in the early stage is not a big problem, the chaos is more healthy, the short-term loss is insignificant, the medium-term loss is acceptable, the parent company is transfused, the merger and acquisition of Fox is not to take a few board seats and it will be over, what I want is the actual right to speak, otherwise it is meaningless." ”

Lao Zhang nodded: "Understood." ”

A company as big as Fox in the 21st Century, even if it is really broken, it can sell a lot of money by selling assets, anyway, it is not the son of Bluestar Technology, even if it is broken, Luo Sheng will not feel distressed at all.

This topic was established, and the next topic was successfully undertaken, and one of the executives at the meeting asked, "What about the theaters?" It's a question, we can't do it, who can? ”

This is not something that ordinary companies can do, and the minimum standard is also that of multinational companies, with a size of more than $50 billion.

In China, there are only a few companies that have this strength and financial resources, such as Wanjiao, Alibaba, Byte, and Hua.

Wan Qian was originally the most diligent in the layout of the film and television culture sector, three years ago, he bought and bought the AMC Cinema Line and Legendary Pictures, but now the fire is out, all kinds of sales and sales, not to mention.

Alibaba, as the second largest Internet giant in China after Bluestar Technology, with a market value of $500 billion in e-commerce giants, must have this strength, but the problem is that the competition with Bluestar Technology is greater than cooperation, and the two sides are "crossfire" in many fields such as entertainment, social networking, and e-commerce.

ByteDance, an emerging Internet multinational company that has risen in recent years, seems to have the posture of a giant, in fact, this company is also Luo Sheng's, it seems to be the most suitable, but the two sides are pinching so badly on the surface, it will make it difficult for Lao Zhang to do, and the management does not understand that it will object, thinking that this will shake the core competitiveness of the parent company, and it will inevitably be collectively opposed.

Huawei, a serious technology company, purely plays high-tech, and has nothing to do with the entertainment industry. However, if Luo Sheng says hello to Huawei, with the pattern of the old man, coupled with the sincere cooperation between the two parties for so many years, Huawei will definitely accept this suggestion generously, and he will not lose anywhere, and the probability of making money is very high.

But the problem is that Huawei is also the object of the focus of the United States, especially the leading 5G technology, the United States does not care about it less than the Cote d'Azur, Huawei has not even been able to open the North American market today, in a sense, it is worse than the Cote d'Azur, no matter how to say that Azure-5 mobile phones have also been sold to the North American market.

Luo Sheng said in a deep voice: "This is indeed quite nerve-wracking, there are a lot of things that can be done, but they are all unsatisfactory, and they may explode ......."

The management has made corresponding analyses for these companies, and the results have not been satisfactory.

At this moment, another executive suddenly said: "Mr. Luo, I think there is another one missing, maybe it's okay." ”

Luo Sheng was curious: "Who?" Lianxiang, you say? Say this and forget it. ”

"No, it's not this, it's Mr. Lei."

Mr. Lei?

Rebus?

Luo Sheng was slightly stunned, and the executive continued: "Xiao Mi I think it's very suitable, anyway, Xiao Mi's business does almost everything, balance cars have been done, it's nothing to have a theater to play, and the outside world will not be surprised, the key is that Xiao Mi will not cause too much vigilance from Lao Mei." ”

Zhang Bowen couldn't help laughing: "Hey, I said, don't spread the latter sentence to Mr. Lei's ears, Mr. Lei will feel offended when he listens to it, maybe he won't cooperate with us." ”

Everyone smiled.

Well, the company that has been named and cared for by Lao Mei in recent years is a manifestation of its recognition of its strength, which may be some kind of authoritative certification.
