Chapter 315 The Temptation of the Media Tycoon

After Mawson Fritz left, Zhang Hao fell into deep thought.

Da Mi Mi coaxed the child to sleep, and took a piece of clothing for Zhang Hao to put on.

"What's the matter? I see you are frowning." Da Mimi asked with concern.

The two are both husband and wife, and they are also beneficial partners. Zhang Hao did not hide anything, and truthfully told the situation that Da Mi Mi is facing now.

"That is to say, now you are regarded as an opponent by some people in Hollywood?" Da Mimi said his understanding.

Zhang Hao said helplessly: "I'm afraid it's not just some people, but most of them. After all, Warner Pictures depends on me to make money, so they won't exclude me now, but maybe in the future."

After "The Dark Knight Rises", his film contract with Warner Pictures ended.

According to the future plan, he has no intention of continuing to develop in Hollywood, so his honeymoon period with Warner Pictures will come to an end.

Now that the honeymoon period is over, there is no reason for Warner Pictures to shield Zhang Hao from the wind and rain in the North American market.

Losing the very important market in North America is a fatal blow to Zhang Hao.It will be even more difficult to replicate the box office miracle of "The Martian" in the future.

But there is no way, some choices must be made, and losing a market is better than getting nothing.

Da Mimi was also worried, holding Zhang Hao's hand and said: "This will have a serious impact on us, what should we do?"

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "The key to breaking the game is [-]th Century Fox, we need [-]th Century Fox's global distribution system.

Later, I will go to Mr. Ma, and Mr. Yu will talk to them. We must speed up the progress and grab the global distribution resources of [-]th Century Fox before the Hollywood vampires. "

Although Hollywood can control North America, it cannot control the rest of the world.

In terms of military and economics, other places listen to North America.But in the field of culture, especially in Europe, they are extremely arrogant and look down on North American barbarians anyway.

That is to say, the Western world will not form a united front when it comes to cinema, as it does in the military and economic spheres.

Among other things, Hollywood can't control Zhang Hao, who has a deep influence in Asia.

Could it be that he still went crazy because of a small movie?

Therefore, Zhang Hao felt that, at most, he would be excluded from the North American market.It doesn't matter to Zhang Hao, the big deal is to be Hollywood in the 90s.

At that time, there was no such thing as a film market in the mainland, and it did not prevent Hollywood from making a fortune in the global market.

Zhang now also assumes that there is no North American market, and it will not delay his crazy box office around the world, but it will be harder.

Numerous truths over the years have proved that movies that can be popular in North America are often popular all over the world.

Losing the North American market has almost declared the loss of the foundation of global popularity.

So Zhang Hao now has two tasks to do, one is to continue to enhance his global influence.

The other one is more difficult, and that is to make Chinese-language movies become popular trendsetters.

When will a movie that is popular in the Chinese film industry become popular all over the world, it will not only be the success of Zhang Hao alone, but also the success of all Chinese filmmakers.

But the current goal is a bit lofty, even a bit nonsense, even Zhang Hao doesn't believe that he will see this kind of situation one day.

But the most amazing thing about things is their unpredictability.

No one knows what the future holds, even ten years from now.

People at this moment can't imagine how the world structure will change in a few years. There is only one thing they can do, seize the opportunity of the times and plan for a rainy day.

After Mosen Fritz left, Zhang Hao immediately held a meeting with several executives, and the project office in Shanghai began to move frequently.

At the same time, there was a large amount of funds flowing into the international capital market, and unknown people began to absorb the shares of [-]th Century Fox in the world.

However, if you want to carve up the legacy of [-]th Century Fox, you have to face two problems.The first one is that [-]th Century Fox's operating conditions are not bad, and it is still struggling to maintain it.

The second is the parent company News Corporation and its boss Rupert Murdoch.

This is unavoidable no matter what, if you want to join this feast of dismemberment, you can't do it without the acquiescence of News Corporation.

However, this opportunity came soon. Although Rupert Murdoch was facing a lawsuit against wiretapping, it was clear that the Ministry of Justice of various countries did not restrict his freedom.

He still found time to come to the capital and asked to see Zhang Hao by name.

Rupert Murdoch has always wanted to enter the mainland market, and Phoenix Satellite TV is his media TV station.

He even married a Chinese wife for the mainland market.

However, the introduction of the wiretapping door was caused by his Chinese wife. His wife admired the former leader of the British leadership and wrote many nasty love letters to the leader.

Rupert Murdoch suspected that his wife was not loyal to him, so he arranged to install bugs and cameras on telephones, houses and other places to monitor every move of his wife and the former leader.

But unexpectedly, this move was soon discovered by the British intelligence department, which triggered a series of butterfly effect events.

Of course, the above are gossip rumors, and the official statement is that News Corporation eavesdropped on political leaders, so it was investigated.

In any case, Rupert Murdoch is about to be forced to dismantle News Corporation before realizing his ambition to enter the mainland market.

Rupert Murdoch didn't want to sit still, he chose a path between left and right.

No, I flew to the capital to meet Zhang Hao.

As for why I met Zhang Hao, it starts with a photo.

Last August, because of Zhang Hao's outstanding contribution to the promotion of Chinese film culture, he was interviewed by the big leaders.

Rupert Murdoch saw this photo and thought that Zhang Hao had a very strong relationship.

Based on Rupert Murdoch's research on the human society, he believes that Zhang Hao is the way to open the upper leadership.

It happened that he also found out that Zhang Hao was gathering capital and wanted to participate in the acquisition of [-]th Century Fox.

Both parties have their own needs, and they happen to be what the other party wants, so why not talk about cooperation.

So, at the Beijing Banquet Hotel, Zhang Hao met this well-known bigwig in the media industry, the legendary Rupert Murdoch.

Rupert Murdoch didn't engage in the politeness of wine table culture, but got straight to the point when he came up.

"Zhang, I know you want Twentieth Century Fox, but the conservative forces in Hollywood will not allow you to participate in this acquisition."

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "I know, Mr. Murdoch, so I don't want all of them, just some of them."

"Without my consent, it is impossible for you to get a penny of assets." Rupert Murdoch bewitched: "Don't you want to fully take over [-]th Century Fox? Become a member of the Hollywood club?"

Zhang Hao smiled helplessly: "Mr. Murdoch, I am 30 years old this year, and the cumulative global box office has exceeded 45 billion US dollars."

The implication is that you don't think I'm younger than you, it doesn't mean I'm stupid than you.

Rupert Murdoch obviously didn't expect to fool Zhang Hao in this way.

He continued: "Our News Corporation has extensive media resources around the world. If we can cooperate, then these media resources will be used by you."

Zhang Hao will not believe these nonsense. In fact, News Corporation is facing a forced split, and soon these resources will be owned by other companies.

This is the general trend, and it is not Rupert Murdoch or he can stop it.

And Rupert Murdoch is obviously aware of the situation, he also said: "Of course, these resources are now facing the danger of being devoured.

These greedy idiots, seeing News Corporation's temporary difficulties, want to lie on their bodies and suck blood. I will never let them go. "

As he said, Rupert Murdoch looked at Zhang Hao sincerely: "But I need your help, Zhang, I know you have a lot of connections at the top, and I need the market to continue my life and help me recover. "

After hearing this, Zhang Hao shook his head silently and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Murdoch, I'm afraid I can't help you."

"Why?" Rupert Murdoch didn't understand. In his opinion, this is a choice that is beneficial to both parties.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly and said, "I don't know if you've heard a word, family and country."

"What do you mean?"

"I am not only myself, but also represent the countless people behind me, sometimes I can't hurt so many people for my own selfishness.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Zhang Hao wiped out the last Australian lobster and ran away.

Only the old Rupert Murdoch was left in a mess in the wind, repeatedly chewing on the four words "family, country, and world" in his heart.

The meeting with Rupert Murdoch did not disturb Zhang Hao's rhythm.Even if Rupert Murdoch disagrees with the capital behind Zhang Hao joining, he is powerless to stop it.

Because Twentieth Century Fox is no longer the blood-supplying machine of News Corporation, but a vampire.News Corporation had to sell Twentieth Century Fox if it wanted to survive.

What I regret most now is Disney. Since the secret was revealed, the value of [-]th Century Fox has risen. After all, there are more buyers.

News Corporation urgently needs a sum of money to save its life, and it will certainly not allow Twentieth Century Fox to be acquired at a low price.

And wait, this takeover battle still has to be fought.

The capital market moves frequently here, and Da Mi Mi is not idle.The first TV series "Want to See You" after the postpartum comeback also landed on the Penguin platform and received great praise.

Although it is an old-fashioned love story, "Want to See You" has a new idea and suspense elements, which makes the audience who follow the drama want to stop.

Da Mimi played two roles in the play, and her acting skills were once again affirmed.

And the male protagonist Bai Jingting also commented on this drama, becoming a phenomenal white boyfriend, and his Li Ziwei makes people want to stop.

When Xin Shuang directed a TV series for the first time, he achieved great success and accumulated a certain amount of capital, becoming a hot director.

This is another talent from Zhang Hao's team. Xin Shuang was poached by several film and television companies immediately.

However, Xin Shuang said that he has no intention of changing jobs. After "Want to See You", he plans to adapt "Bad Boy" and make it into a web drama as well.

This idea was supported by Zhang Hao, and a lot of money was invested.

At the beginning of 2017, Tianmi Film and Television Production Company heard all good news.

There is still a long way to go, and it will take some time.
