American Fortune Life - Chapter 1991

Karl saw that Andy had an Asian beauty with a new face next to her, so there would be no surprise. For Andy’s “playfulness”, it can be said that the person he knows best is him.

Of course, for Chen Zhihua, Carl had seen the data long ago, and Carr had a rare identification of Asian faces. When he saw the painting himself, he also expressed admiration for Andy’s Yanfu.

After giving a brief introduction to the two, After a brief greeting, Andy asked the maid to take Chen Zhihua to choose a room, and reported to the relatives in China that it was safe. Only Andy and Carr were left in the living room. .

“Every time you come back, you have to come here with me. Seriously, there are not so many resources for them to share. The problem is, is it the Asian face who is the hardest to find resources, boss, you are trying to drive me crazy. what.”

As soon as Chen Zhihua left, Carl began to grumble bitterly and complained.

Andy shrugged without a word and said calmly: “It’s not to let them act as female first and second females, arrange some small roles, it’s good to show their popularity, and Asian actors can become third- and fourth-tier stars in Hollywood. It ’s very good. It ’s the second line in the sky. There is only one Jack Chen. They know it, so do n’t complain, just talk about what ’s happening in Hollywood recently. ”

Hearing Andy’s words, Carl felt relieved, and said with a depressed expression on his face: “You know the situation in Hollywood, there are not many Asian characters … forget it, when I didn’t say.”

Seeing Andy staring coldly at himself, Carl replied with great interest, smirking and continued, “Nothing major has happened recently. Except for the mountain fires that have not yet been extinguished, you may be interested in Disney being with Lu Cass Films contacted, and it was reported that Disney intends to acquire Lucas Films, to capture the revenue of the Star Wars series, and to strengthen the expansion of the male user market. “

“Huh?” Andy was stunned. To be honest, the news was a bit unexpected, but it was soon relieved. After all, Marvel has become a cash cow in his hands. It seems that there are few targets for Hollywood to buy in Disney. Finally, the Star Wars series is undoubtedly the best choice. It is not weaker than Marvel ’s superhero ip, but Star Wars ’influence is more extensive and popular.

“Well, it smells like money!”

Andy sighed, he knew that this time the acquisition, Disney couldn’t spend less. To know that the old guy of George Lucas is also savvy. For so many years, he has been pressing the Star Wars series without shooting sequels. He didn’t want to shoot the sign and smashed the signboard. More importantly, he was a bit weak and wanted to sell it at a price.

“Yeah, this transaction may involve four to five billion dollars. This time, maybe it really made Disney a big deal.” Carl said with emotion.

“Oh? What’s your opinion, let’s hear it.” Andy was intrigued by Carl’s tone.

“Nothing, Lucasfilm is a behemoth in the film industry, but a complete system that runs through the entire Hollywood film industry. It includes several subsidiaries.

“Lucas Publishing” has continuously brought him licensing income. “Industrial light magic” and “Skywalker sound effects” have become one of the most important branches of Hollywood in the past two decades and an integral part of the Hollywood industrial system. So far, Industrial Light and Magic has produced and participated in nearly 300 movies, and Skywalker sound effects have also produced special effects for more than 300 movies.

This is a huge fortune. In addition, four years have passed since the last Star Wars movie. Star Wars fans around the world have long been impatient. If Disney’s acquisition is completed by then, it will be ruthless. One point, creating a Star Wars a year, squeezing the potential of Star Wars, maybe it will make money from the acquisition with profit.

The Star Wars series definitely has this potential. You know, it is a complete world, and it is a complete world that has been built for more than thirty years! “

After hearing Carl’s words, Andy fell into contemplation, frowning slightly, and touching his chin. He also took it for granted. He didn’t think about joining the battle for the acquisition of Lucas Pictures. However, he was very Hesitation, after all, his stall is too big. Smith Media Group, which has just completed the integration, has not digested the existing resources. It also holds a lot of IP resources in its hands and needs a lot of funds to invest. Whether billions of dollars in acquisition of Lucas Pictures can be digested is a big question.

He has no shortage of money, but if he walks on the road to buy what he sees, he will not return. The steps are too big. What should I do if he is weak?

Stabilize first, wait and see. Anyway, this kind of acquisition negotiation can not be reached in a day or two, especially George Lucas, who uses the Star Wars series as a child, is definitely a big trouble in the negotiation.

“You said, if I proposed to Lucas to acquire ILM, would you say he would agree?”

When Carl heard about Andy’s question, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile, “Boss, a complete diamond necklace. Will you knock on a diamond for money?”

“Okay.” Andy himself knows to ask a silly question, but it also shows how embarrassed he is with Industrial Light and Magic. Although Universal Pictures also has its own special effects animation company, some advanced technologies and Industrial Light and Magic is no match.

“Well, there is one more thing. Recently, Hollywood has begun to popularize in Asia to find money. Hot money in India and the dynasty has become the hottest topic in Hollywood. Many companies have sent people to the dynasty and India to find money. You see , Do we also send someone to India to see, after all, many people are stupid and do n’t take white for nothing. ”Carl smiled and raised an eyebrow at Andy to report.

If you want to ask what is missing in Hollywood today, then there is only one answer: money!

Hollywood found that financing from U.S. hedge funds and banks had dried up, and now Asan and Tianchao companies have large amounts of money and are able to invest. Hollywood is desperately in need of overseas funding to continue its global expansion.

Foreign capital investment in Hollywood is nothing new. As far away as foot basins, German and French capitals landed in New York and Los Angeles in the 仈 jiu of the last century. They also bought and bought everywhere, and they also caused commotion. Soon after the excitement passed, Hollywood left them with lessons to be left in Vanity Fair.

India has become an important force that has slammed the Hollywood gates in the recent round.

However, it is conceivable that only a large amount of tuition and lessons were waiting for them, and then their heads were loosing and stunned.

Iron-clad Hollywood, flowing foreign investors, this sentence is not just talking, but a **** lesson summed up.

Think about it. Before coming to Hollywood, who is not in the country with all his skills and who is not entangled in the waves of capital and want to become famous in the California sunshine, who does not want to promote their excellent culture in front of American audiences?

But in fact, many investors do not have the professional knowledge of the film and television industry, ignore the special nature of the creative industry, and blindly carry out capital operations. The end result is likely to be a smash in the past, and not an equivalent exchange.

To be honest, in the big pit of Hollywood, both the director and the producer are proficient in the professional skills of flickering foreign capital and empty gloves white wolves, because they have already ushered in too many ‘soils’. The success stories are endless. Their noses are more sensitive than dogs. When they smell a little blood, they will rush up without any bottom line. They will shake their tails to please the new bosses. Waiting for the arrival of another foreign capital.

“Go, why don’t you go!” Andy said without hesitation, “Asan are willing to send money, why not!”
