Chapter 247

Before being sniped by Davis fund, Columbia film has distribution channels all over the world, operates normally, and can compete with several other giant companies.

MGM fell into bankruptcy and liquidation after the huge attack on the Whisperwind. Finally, cork dumped his burden, sold it and made a lot of cash.

Columbia Pictures can be restarted as long as they inject capital. Both Leighton and Pascal are capable people. They have not only won the trust and decentralization of the new boss, but also have 700 million funds in their hands. They are gearing up for a big fight.

MGM has a lot of problems. Such an old giant company doesn't even have its own distribution channels. Since the sale of Lianyi, its distribution business has been packaged for Disney's Bowe operation. In recent years, there are few popular works except legal beauty, which is not as good as mm in box office revenue.

MGM's only valuable thing now is its brand. There are thousands of films and tens of thousands of TV dramas in the film library, as well as the copyright of 007 series, which is a series of films that can make no loss.

After the merger of mm, it immediately has the right to produce sequels of blockbuster series such as chainsaw and hangover, and also has distribution channels all over beimi. It doesn't have to worry about being stuck in distribution.

Marvel pictures is still in its infancy, but their sharp weapon is the running superhero blockbuster iron man, the first multi million dollar production in the MM system, directed by Hollywood box office elixir mark. They are ambitious to formulate a Marvel Universe film plan. Once successful, they will not be much worse than the other three companies.

In terms of overall planning, Columbia Pictures will be responsible for the overseas distribution of MGM pictures and the global promotion and distribution of Marvel films, which solves their channel problems.

Egger can combine the film libraries of the two companies to form the world's largest film library. In terms of DVD rental and sales, egger can bring them 250 million to 300 million stable revenue every year, and become a decisive force in the DVD format dispute. Moreover, they have plans to cooperate with YouTube to provide online video services, However, at the current network speed, it is estimated that it can not provide a good experience service.

However, they can pilot first. In future generations, streaming media companies squeeze the six big companies into almost no place, which makes Disney's acquisition of large enterprises such as 20th Century Fox impossible to form a monopoly. We can see how much pressure streaming media puts on them.

The reorganized mm group does not have its own TV station, which is a short board, but they have the strongest advantage in the Internet. With the help of Guge and toutube, they also have their own film publicity channels. In addition, with more than 800 cinemas in Colombia, they decided to rely on these 800 cinemas to set up derivatives counters, Specialized in selling all kinds of film peripheral products, so as to form an ecological chain in terms of content + channel + derivatives.

This makes mm more competitive, but to do all this, we need to make a smooth transition, and then make several popular films, which can put the company on the right track.

After MGM sold to Columbia film, the media claimed that Hollywood had entered six times. However, sonny was sniped within a few days and never recovered. Some media even said that he would enter five times ahead of schedule.

The MM group, which controls Colombia and MGM, will have two seats in MPAA, greatly increasing its influence. The film rating system of MPAA is commonly used by giant companies to suppress small companies.

MPAA American Film Association, headquartered in Hollywood, California, was established in 1922 and initially emerged as a trading organization in the film industry. Today, it is involved in not only films released in cinemas, but also television, home photography and other transmission systems that may appear in the future. Imagine that they want to engage in small and medium-sized companies to control film classification. MGM and Columbia film have one seat respectively, and the chairman is held by the presidents of the seven giants in turn.

It can be said that mark spent 12 billion, which is very valuable. Back then, Leston spent 10 billion US dollars on paramount in 1993. At that time, 10 billion was equivalent to 20 billion now.

After Davis announced the sale of Columbia Pictures and MGM pictures, it immediately affected the hearts of all parties. Its process was full of drama. It fell into the hands of mm, which surprised many people. Many people estimated that the dark investment model designed by Davis plus three veto rights could sell at least $15 billion.

However, it is impossible to guess what Davis did. He only exercised his veto once and sold the company to MM quickly and decisively. Many people suspect that mm may have bribed Davis, but it is the same fact that Colombia and MGM fall into MM's hands.

The next day, all the entertainment news of TV stations and newspapers took this as the headline and reported it with all their strength. In this country where entertainment is dead, it is more concerned by the people than the Iraq war, and the ownership of Columbia film and MGM film will make Hollywood enter the real six times.

The new one is mm. In terms of film assets and market share, he ranks fifth after paramount, and global is at the bottom.

The second article of major TV stations and newspapers is the giant attack of DreamWorks super blockbuster escape from clone Island, which is another masterpiece after the famous Mai copy of Pearl Harbor.

The protagonist of this sci-fi action film chose two literary film stars to become the biggest highlight of the film. The hero is Ivan McGregor, the Scottish actor who plays Obi Wan in the Star Wars series. His art films include Moulin Rouge, big fish and other business cards, while the heroine relies on the girl with Pearl Earrings and lost Tokyo Scarlett Johansson, who has become a Hollywood star in films such as the chainsaw and the hangover, also has a lot of supporting roles: Germain hansu, Sean bin, Steve basmi and Michael Clark Duncan, almost all of whom are guests of the Academy Awards.

Backed by DreamWorks with billions of dollars, Michael Bellin's prop cars are Cadillac 2002 concept cars worth $7 million. Of course, he will not neglect his good action design and visual effects. Fifteen cameras in different positions are used to shoot at the same time for pursuit, racing, gunfight and explosion, so as to capture each subtle action. The famous producer, Mr Spielberg also personally added a number of funny passages to the film to add a comic atmosphere.

Its investment reached 120 million yuan, which was invested and produced by DreamWorks and distributed by Warner. The specific distribution investment should not be less than 30 million yuan, but its first week box office was only 12.4 million. If it was not supported by top secret flight, it would break the world record. Now it is second only to top secret flight.

The huge loss of top secret flight. Colombia was a dead pig at that time. It was not afraid of boiling water. The money was invested by the Japanese and David. Martin just lost literally, and David could afford to lose with his super dad.

DreamWorks originally had rumors of financial tension and broken capital chain, all counting on this large area to subsidize families. Unexpectedly, it ushered in an unprecedented huge loss, the stock price fell, and many executives left.

These have little to do with mark. His peers are like enemy countries. Who doesn't ask God to bless the big sales of his films and the huge losses of others? Now the huge losses of this blockbuster make DreamWorks enter the countdown to bankruptcy.

Mark is busy with his feet off the ground now. It's such a big thing that Giselle is pregnant. He should go home and have dinner together to celebrate. However, in order to prepare for signing the contract, he is too busy. He doesn't even return home and calls Giselle for leave.

Giselle also understood that this time they ate a piece of fat meat, and her peers were envious and jealous. If there was no formal contract one day, there might be variables. It was also wise for Mark's transition committee to take over power in advance and appease people's hearts, which could minimize the loss. She understood mark.

Mark prepared the contract overnight and arranged to sign the contract early the next morning. They also knew that they took advantage of it this time, which made their peers really jealous, so they kept a low profile and didn't arrange a press conference or anything. They signed the contract quickly and low-key. After signing the contract, they immediately put the money in the account of Davis fund. Before leaving work at 12 noon, Columbus Asia Film and MGM film fall into MM's hands.

The team of lawyers and accountants led by David began to move in and take over the property, while the armed guards of Blackwater security company, which once hated Colombian and MGM employees, retreated amid boos and cheers.

Accustomed to Martin's military takeover and rough rule, now MM's takeover team composed of lawyers and accountants makes people feel friendly.

At the same time of counting and liquidating the property, the transition committee officially issued Notice No. 2. The next week is the time for counting, and convened meetings with the heads of branches and cinemas all over the country to get to know each other. The salary will be paid during the counting period and will not work normally until the counting is completed.

These things are simple to say, but actually they are very troublesome. Mark, they have made extremely sufficient preparations and prepared a large number of people. The work is still very busy. It can be imagined how chaotic it was when Martin suddenly took over.

Now they have mm, and they have trained a lot of talents, and egger has also recruited many former departments to enrich their management team. In addition, because Martin cut a large number of personnel, these vacant positions have been quickly supplemented, which is very good for them to return to normal work as soon as possible.

Many people have found a good position. Mark's father David serves as the chief legal officer of the company, and Mark's lawyer Baker serves as the Deputy official. Another David is also jealous. He also asks mark for a position.
