Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 411 411. The Final Word [Wish you all a Happy New Year]

There are actually many theories about the major Hollywood film companies.

For example, the first statement is the eight major Hollywood film companies.

The source of this statement is the eight major film companies in Hollywood in the golden age.

There is also a saying of 5+3.

The difference is that the top five have their own theaters, while the three small ones do not.

The Big 5 are Paramount, MGM, RKO, Warner Bros., and Fox.

The 3 majors are Universal, Columbia, and United Artists.

Hollywood movies in the golden age dominate the entertainment industry. Every Ugly Chinese watch an average of two movies a week, and they sell well all over the world.

In 1948, the court passed the Paramount Act, ruling that owning both production and distribution theaters was a monopoly, so several major film companies had to split.

At the same time, television began to become popular in the 60s and [-]s, and movies were greatly impacted.

The golden age is over.

After the golden age came the new Hollywood era.

Hollywood fell into a dark age.

Of the 8 major film companies, two were the first to leave the show.

RKO, which was the first to implement the Paramount plan, was the first to fall. In 1957, RKO switched to the TV industry and withdrew from the film market.

Afterwards, United Artists, the weakest of the Big Eight, was resold several times, but failed to last until dawn, and was acquired by MGM.

The remaining six families could not escape the impact of the times.

Most of them were resold several times during the darkest period.

Entering the 80s, the era of blockbuster movies came again, comprehensive media groups emerged, the system of independent studios could no longer meet the needs of the new market, and the tide of mergers and acquisitions rose again.

After the new century, media and IT giants have completely controlled Hollywood.

In 1969, MGM, the former big brother, was acquired by Cork, a Nevada investor.

In 1970 it was bought by billionaire Cork.

In 2005, it was acquired by a consortium formed by Sony, and then went bankrupt in 2010.

It was reorganized by Telescope Entertainment, a private Hollywood studio.

In 2021, it will eventually be acquired by Amazon.

Colombia survived the darkest period relying on TV and records. In the 80s, it was once controlled by Coca-Cola.

In 1989, it was acquired by Sony at its peak
Fox, which faltered until 1981, was bought by oil tycoon Davis.

In 1984, it was acquired by Murdoch's News Corporation.

The revived Fox bought Blue Sky Studios.

If Lu Chen remembers correctly, in 2019,
Fox would eventually be bought by Disney and renamed 20th Century.

As for Universal Pictures, it has changed owners nine times, from founder Laimer to British film tycoon Arthur, to Decca Records, to Ugly Music, to Panasonic, and to Canadian beverage giant Seagram company, French water group Vivendi, and American General Electric.

Until 2011, General Electric merged Universal Pictures and its National Broadcasting Company to form a new company "NBC Universal" and sold it to Comcast.

Universal, which is not short of money, hatched Illumination Entertainment, and later acquired DreamWorks Animation.

As for Warner, in 1967, it was acquired by Qiyi.

In 1969, it was acquired by Kinney National, which acquired DC Comics.

In 1989, it merged with Time Group.

In 2000, it merged with America Online.

By 2018, next year, Time Warner was acquired by AT&T.

Paramount, acquired by Petroleum Capital Group in 1966.

In 1993, it was acquired by media giant Viacom.

It is said that Paramount is currently the only giant that actually works in Hollywood.

None of the eight giants had the last laugh.

All are currently controlled by the media giants.

The one who really had the last laugh was the mouse that was shown to the children.

That's right, Disney, the only company in Hollywood that hasn't changed hands yet.

And still keep buying.

Bought Lucasfilm, bought Pixar, bought Marvel, bought Fox, and is currently the only one in Hollywood.

The reason why Disney had the last laugh is because Disney's overall revenue, parks and derivatives are the big ones, while movies are just the small ones.

Therefore, unlike other giants, which are highly dependent on the film market and the box office of each film, if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

In addition, Disney has also turned itself into a media giant. ABC, the largest television network in the Ugly country, is a subsidiary of Disney.

According to the current North American film market share, there are six major film companies:
The six are Disney, Sony Columbia, Universal, Warner Bros., Paramount, and 20th Century Fox.

There is also Lionsgate, which is like a nerve knife. When it is good, it can surpass Paramount, and when it is bad, it falls back to the second line.

If you count the unconventional Lionsgate, it can also be called the Big Seven film companies.

now,

The Big Six did exactly what the executive from DreamWorks said, how to deal with Jiaxing Media with a headache, there is no legitimate reason to want to curb the development of Jiaxing Media in Hollywood.

After all, they value China's film market more.If they mess around with their own chassis, what will Huaguo do?
Jiaxing Media can definitely do the same.

If Jiaxing Media's films are not allowed to enter Hollywood, what if Huaguo also does not allow their films to enter the Huaguo market?
Therefore,
They really didn't have a better way for a while,
Unless the six of them can unanimously join forces temporarily to suppress Jiaxing Media at the same time, but they are all fighting happily, so it is so easy to crowd out Jiaxing Media?

Regardless of Jiaxing Media's words...

The current Jiaxing Media is really capable of doing things in their territory.

Today's Jiaxing Media has developed. In terms of scale, it may be worse than them, but in terms of strength.

It's hard to say, they can be sure.

Today's Jiaxing Media is no worse than any of the top six in terms of strength.
It is estimated that in another year or so, Jiaxing Media will become the top seven.

Will Jiaxing Media become the seventh largest entertainment company in the world?
What makes the six major crises even more serious is that.

They can feel that Jiaxing Media is not a good person. Since Jiaxing Media's branch here broke out in "Kung Fu Panda 2" and started to acquire theaters, in just ten days, there are already three small theaters and Jiaxing Media has reached an acquisition intention, so that Jiaxing Media's strength here has grown a bit.

That's right, this is Wang Xin's victory.

After knowing Lu Chen's plan, Wang Xin's blood boiled once.

As an entertainer.

It's not just directors who have been hammered these years, they are the same!In the face of the powerlessness of Hollywood blockbusters, whether it is the director or them, they are basically the same.

Therefore,
Of course, they would not be polite if they had the opportunity to fight back. To put it bluntly, they have been waiting for this day for a long time.

money clears the way,
Let the theater chain's acquisition plan become simpler, to be honest.

In this place, as long as you are brave enough to spend money, basically there will be no major obstacles. If this trend continues, Jiaxing Media's branch here will definitely be able to eat up many small theaters here. Next, completely possess the confidence to wrestle with the six major arm-wrestlers.

Of course, these all cost money.

A lot of money is needed.

However, at this time, Jiaxing Media was really not short of money, and they didn't spend a penny to exchange shares with Kiwi.Therefore, the income from several previous works was directly accumulated.

but.

In order not to stimulate the six majors so quickly,
Lu Chen didn't let Wang Xinbi let go of his hands and feet to do a big job.

no way,
At this time, it is really necessary to stimulate the six majors too hard, what they are facing is definitely a storm.

Six big storms.

They might not be able to handle it.

therefore.

After purchasing the three-day small theater chain, Lu Chen directly asked Wang Xin to stop decisively.

After the war started,
Continue to buy.

This is Lu Chen's idea, because "Jurassic Park" will be officially released at that time. This movie is used by Lu Chen to start the battle of gods. At that time, the attention of the six major universities will definitely be attracted by this movie. .

At that time,
Their small movements will not be so easily developed.

Even if it is developed.

It's also impossible for them to put all their minds on it.

under distraction.

It was easier for Lu Chen and the others to succeed.

As for the post-production work of "Jurassic Park", Lu Chen does not need to participate in it recently.

Therefore, in the next time, Lu Chen can make a temporary wave of salty fish.

For example, watching the drama on Kiwi in the office, and now, their "Rising Star Project" has begun to be implemented.

28 of the 12 works have been determined, including 16 movies and [-] small-cost web dramas.

These web dramas will all be placed on Kiwifruit.

This is after Lu Chen and the others exchanged shares with Kiwi,
Just settled things.

That's why Lu Chen said that it wasn't too difficult to help Kiwi overtake on a curve.

Their "Rising Star Project" alone can guarantee that at least 40 works will be placed on Kiwi every year.

These works are all exclusive.

Even if these 40 works do not have big productions and big casts, this number alone can cause headaches for several other video sites.

Besides.

The works of Jiaxing Media in the next five years will be exclusively placed on Kiwifruit.

Think about it.

In the next five years, if the audience wants to see the works of all the directors of Jiaxing Media, they can only go to Kiwi.

How much traffic can this wave bring to Kiwi.

There is no need to calculate carefully, just think about it,

Absolutely massive.

Even if the other companies pull all the other domestic directors over.

Not necessarily comparable.

no way,
People are so strong.

It can be said that although the agreement between Jiaxing Media and Kiwi Fruit has not been spread, many people in the industry know the news.

It also includes Penguin Film and Television and Youku.com.

The two horse bosses had basically the same reaction when they heard the news.

It's all unbelievable.

They couldn't figure out why Kiwi would agree to such an exaggerated share swap.

To know.

The market value of kiwifruit is close to 600 billion.

And Jiaxing Media only used 20.00% of the four shares to exchange for half of the kiwifruit.

What's the meaning,
That means, from the perspective of Kiwi, the market value of Jiaxing Media is now more than 2500 billion.

It's kind of scary.

This is also the reason why Lu Chen and the others have been unable to negotiate with Penguin Film and Television, because from the perspective of Penguin Film and Television,
Jiaxing Media is not worth so much.

But they don't believe it,
Some people believe.

in fact,

This valuation really underestimated Jiaxing Media, because the light and shadow special effects and the brokerage company have already gone out independently.

The brokerage company has already listed.

A small target with a market capitalization approaching triple digits.

As for the light and shadow special effects, I will go to ring the bell soon,
Although the bell has not yet been struck, professionals have already given a rough estimate.

Close to three hundred small goals.

As for Jiaxing Media, Jurassic Park is still under construction.

None of these are included.

and so.

This is Lu Chen's confidence to dare to confront the Big Six in Hollywood.

The morning time passed quietly while Lu Chen was watching the video.

At lunch, Lu Chen met Zeng Jia and other high-level executives in the cafeteria, and he quietly went over, only to hear one of the high-level executives complain: "Recently, the entertainment industry is still quite chaotic, and the rise of internet celebrities has directly disrupted In the entire entertainment industry, many Internet celebrities have already extended their claws to the actor industry."

The person who spoke was called Rossi Zhang.

Lu Chen still had a good impression of him, because Luo Xizhang was the only agent who remained in Jiaxing Media, and was responsible for the management of the few remaining actors in Jiaxing Media.

Under Jiaxing Media's opponent's power, it can be said that the entire entertainment industry is going smoothly, but I didn't expect to have a headache because of these things...

"boss."

Zeng Jia saw Lu Chen.

Lu Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, I just sit around casually, and eating alone is quite boring. You were talking about internet celebrities just now?"

"Yes?"

Luo Xizhang is not very embarrassed, after all, he knows the temper of his boss.

"Why, no Internet celebrity wants to grab resources from you, right?"

"Really!"

Luo Xizhang said helplessly in an instant: "How should I put it, these Internet celebrities are really..."

"It's bright with a little sunshine?" Lu Chen said.

"That's it. A little fame means pretentiousness. Nowadays, there are already quite a few Internet celebrities who think they are better than some actors and singers. It has seriously disrupted the market..."

With the rapid development of the Internet and e-commerce, the speed of Internet celebrities has surpassed the speed of the traditional film and television media industry. It takes about 2-3 years to make a movie or TV star, while a high-quality online short video takes 2-3 days. , so that the speed of transmission is completely dominated by Internet celebrities.

Nowadays, it is a popular saying that Internet celebrities are more popular than celebrities.

By the end of this year, the daily income of an e-commerce platform to content producers has surpassed that of Huaguo's entire entertainment industry.

Although there is no data to support this statement and it has attracted a lot of doubts, the public can still intuitively feel that last year's Internet celebrities were indeed too popular.

Take a very simple example.

Last year, the most frequently searched ones included the emotional lives of individual Internet celebrities. Some of them cheated, some divorced, and some spoke outrageously, all of which aroused discussions on Weibo.

Although many netizens looked confused: who are they?
But people are red.

"What's this?"

Lu Chen smiled and said: "Now we are also qualified to formulate rules, let's contact the Big Five and purify the environment of the entertainment industry."

Lu Chen made the final decision directly.
