Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 851 Two Years (adding updates to the rudder master "Feng Ling Yue Ying")
Facing the offensive of Hollywood giants, to be honest, Liangtianchi Pictures is very difficult to resist.

Not to mention finding the relevant department to check the water meter, directly competing with you on the schedule, etc., as long as there is one, Tianchi Films will collapse by itself.

That is to let Sony Columbia cut off the North American and global distribution channels of Tianchi Pictures.

Without the distribution channel of Sony Columbia, it is impossible for each Marvel superhero movie costing hundreds of millions of dollars to get the expected box office.

It could have won a global box office of 10 billion, but in the end it could only get 5 million, or even 3 million.

Let me ask you, will it collapse or not?

As for asking other independent film companies for help?
Impossible, facing the threat of Hollywood giants, or even the threat of forming a group, no independent film company can withstand it.

It's not bad if they don't make trouble by then.

As for believing in the character of Sony Columbia?

It's even more impossible, no one is a good person, you can rely on yourself after all.

Now Sony Columbia has shown its interest in Marvel Entertainment. If you want to rely on Sony Columbia to keep Marvel Entertainment, it is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger!
In the past, Chen Hao also thought of countless ways, but in the end they all failed.

It is impossible to monopolize the huge profits of the Marvel superhero movie universe.

Eating alone can't last long!Not to mention a Chinese in North America!
Therefore, Chen Hao can only share this super big cake, and at the same time continuously strengthen his own strength, so that he no longer has to be coerced and lured by Hollywood giants.

And the recent MGM bankruptcy trusteeship made Chen Hao see a possibility that Liangtianchi Pictures could become a giant!
"You mean you're going to sell Marvel Entertainment and use the money to buy MGM?" Smart asked.

Chen Hao said with a smile, "Yes and no, I will not sell Marvel Entertainment completely, but only sell a part of the shares."

After all, only Chen Hao knows how profitable the Marvel superhero movie universe will be in the future.

It can be said that in the future, there will be fewer and fewer successful original movies, basically in the era of IP movies, and Marvel superhero movies are the absolute king among them.

Hollywood is almost ruled by Marvel superheroes, so the global movie market will naturally be ruled by Marvel superheroes!

But even though part of the profits must be given up, it is impossible for Chen Hao to be so stupid as not to keep a piece of the biggest cake.

Smart nodded when he heard the words, "Disney's offer to Marvel Entertainment has been raised to 45 billion US dollars. If you sell half of the shares, then there are more than 20 billion US dollars, which should be able to satisfy those consortiums."

Chen Hao smiled. He discussed with investment consultant Hu Jin before that MGM's assets are as high as 113 billion, but now they are completely non-performing assets.

Therefore, Chen Hao only needs to spend about 20 billion US dollars to let those consortium shareholders cash out and leave.

After all, they also used high leverage to win MGM at that time. They had already earned 20 billion US dollars, and they could get rid of MGM, a hot potato, so why not do it.

Of course, huge debts cannot be avoided.

As for Disney wanting to buy Marvel Entertainment for 45 billion?
impossible.

Although it was 42 million more than the 3 billion in his previous life, Chen Hao was not stupid. He only sold Marvel Entertainment after "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2" were released.

At least you have to wait until the "Avengers" directed by you is released.

At that time, the first phase of the Marvel superhero movie universe has been completed, and the entire Marvel superhero movie universe is presented to everyone, and the price will really soar.

The current 45 billion, after "The Avengers" is released, it will at least triple, or even exceed 3 billion is not impossible!
However, Chen Hao has to keep a considerable part of Marvel Entertainment's equity, after all, it makes money.

At the same time, Chen Hao thought that it would be best to bring in a few Hollywood giants, so as not to let the Disney family dominate.

After all, Disney in the future will develop so fast that even 20th Century Fox will be swallowed up by it.

In order to suppress this most powerful competitor in the future, Chen Hao wants to control Disney's purchase of Marvel Entertainment's equity.

However, the reality is that under the financial crisis in 2008, even now many companies have not recovered well.

Of the six giants in Hollywood, apart from Disney having money, that is, Warner Bros. has some money, and the other giants have nothing but assets, but they really don't have much cash.

If Disney really wants Marvel Entertainment, it may use the method of raising prices to force other giants to leave.

Of course, Disney must also invest in cash + equity.

This kind of approach is also what Chen Hao wants to see. If he wants to survive in Hollywood for a long time, the best way is to have me in you and you in me.

This can greatly improve the company's ability to resist risks. As long as you don't fail, I will survive.

Chen Hao wants other giants to participate, but they are short of cash, but Disney, who is the strongest in the future, has the most money.

However, if Chen Hao wants to win MGM, he must have cash, which is really a bit contradictory.

"I will sell part of the shares in Marvel Entertainment, but not now, but after "The Avengers" is released." Chen Hao said.

Smart nodded when he heard the words, obviously knowing Chen Hao's self-confidence, thinking that after the release of "The Avengers", Marvel Entertainment's valuation will skyrocket!

"But you gave all the money to the shareholders of MGM Holdings, so what will happen to MGM after you buy it? You must know that they still have huge debts. Even if they don't need to pay back immediately, the interest on the debt alone is not low." Smart said.

"Doesn't MGM still have hotels, resorts, and coffee businesses? After the acquisition, I plan to transfer these assets, at least sell the projects that are not doing well. The funds returned should be enough for MGM to repay the interest. It has been operating normally for 2 years." Chen Hao said.

Smart nodded when he heard the words, this is a way.

"There are still 2 years before the release of "The Avengers", so you can spend these 2 years negotiating acquisitions with MGM Holdings. After all, MGM's equity is a bit complicated, and the acquisition of such a large amount of money is not Maybe we can talk about it in a while.

At the same time, you have to contact other Hollywood giants besides Disney and Sony Columbia to let them also participate in the negotiation of Marvel Entertainment's shareholding, so that we can sit down and raise the price.

Anyway, you have to talk to them slowly, wrangling slowly, until after the release of "The Avengers" in 2012. " Chen Hao said.

After hearing the words, Smart thought about Chen Hao's whole plan, and it seemed that it was indeed feasible.

But it is not without flaws. The most important point is that the next three films "Thor", "Captain America" ​​and "Avengers" in the first phase of the Marvel superhero movie universe must be successful.

Otherwise, Marvel would not be able to sell at a high price, and would not be able to satisfy the appetite of MGM's controlling shareholders at all, so the acquisition of MGM would be a fantasy.

But with the success of the two Marvel superhero movies, "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2", Smart can't help but look forward to the next three movies.

If all goes well, Liang Tianchi Pictures may acquire MGM, and then become the new seventh largest Hollywood giant, and he will also become one of the most powerful bigwigs in Hollywood!
