The three-party or even four-party transaction attracted Hollywood's attention.
The acquisition itself lasted for several years, forming a long tug-of-war, which naturally caused other Hollywood companies to spy on it.
But fortunately, George Lucas's own will is firm enough, which makes other companies have no opportunity to take advantage of.
The difficulty of this previous acquisition was Warner Pictures, because Warner also holds some shares in Xiangmelon Studios and has corresponding decision-making power.
Warner Pictures CEO Qili Rose tried hard to raise the stock price with the idea that I can't get you and didn't want it.
Although George Lucas belongs to Gilbert Jr., he cannot refuse such a good thing. So Lucasfilm's packaging purchase price has been rising all the way, and its recent offer has reached US$4.3 billion.
Faced with Warner's shameless behavior of raising stock prices, Ivanka, Cameron Diaz and Gibert Jr., discussed it and made preparations.
The first is to urge Warner Pictures to complete the share repurchase of Gua Studios as soon as possible, and the second is to put pressure on Warner through Gilbert Jr.'s influence.
So when he was interviewed by the French National Television Film Channel, Jibert Jr. revealed that because of the tight schedule, he considered giving up directing some of the originally planned movies.
And this part needs to be said to be "The Rise of the Dark Knight" which is closely related to Warner.
This move really worked. The Warner Pictures Board of Directors quickly put pressure on Qili Ross, and the board of directors did not want the series to change directors.
Not to mention, Qili Ross may not have the idea of changing directors. But after the previous work "The Dark Knight" made great achievements, it is extremely risky to change the director.
So, during the global sales of Inception, Warner's equity in Cantaloupe Studio fell to single digits.
In addition to a few more small shareholders, most of the equity is back in the hands of Gilbert Jr.
Of course, the Warner equity in Jibert Jr. also dropped a lot, and although his board seats were still retained, his influence had become much weaker.
And Qili Ross also stopped raising the stock price, allowing the acquisition to proceed.
At present, several parties have entered the detailed negotiations, and I believe the results will be obtained within one or two years.
This is quite good news for Disney.
Relying on Robert Iger's smart management and Disney's continuous expansion over the years, Disney's market value has reached 65.3 billion US dollars.
Due to the good news of the acquisition, Disney's stock price reached a new high again, reaching a market value of $67 billion, firmly seizing the number one spot of Hollywood film companies.
However, Robert Iger was not satisfied. His goal was to bring Disney to the world's number one media entertainment group, surpassing Sony Entertainment, and surpassing large media groups such as Comcast.
On the board of directors, Robert Eiger passionately portrayed the company's future beautiful scene to shareholders.
"We have Pixar, we are about to own Lucasfilm and Industry Light Magic. We will also own Marvel Studios, and we will take over most of the shares of all the Melon Studios.
We will acquire the high-quality resources of DreamWorks, and we will become the world's number one film company, bringing together movies A super media group that produces offline entertainment electronic game series.
We will dominate the world..."
It has to be said that the prospect portrayed by Robert Eiger is very touching the Disney board of directors. Even the opponents of Robert Iger and Gibert Jr., have to admit that such a picture is so wonderful.
But once these transactions come true, Disney will no longer have anything to do with the Disney family, and it will be changed to Landrini from then on.
Although they are all Ni, is Ni who changed his surname still the same Ni in the past? I'm afraid no one can say it well.
Disney started big moves with ambitions, and the movie market was not stopped. As of May 23, on the third weekend of the 2010 summer season, Avatar has scored $748.82 million in North America, continuing its own record performance.
Now this movie is still being screened in a few 3D theaters. Before the new 3D movie comes out, there is still a certain market for the film.
The most shocking thing is the global box office. As of this weekend, "Avatar" has scored 2.710.48 million US dollars worldwide, shocking the world.
There is also a ridiculous news mixed in between. The famous snake anthropologist Steve Augustine went to an island with a primitive tribe in an island country in the Pacific Ocean to look for a snake.
In order to gain the trust of the local natives, Steve Augustine screened "Avatar" to the residents of the primitive tribe, of course, the ordinary open-air movie 2D version.
But the indigenous tribes were shocked. They threw the totem they originally believed in and turned to believe in Namei in "Avatar".
Steve Augustine also became a messenger of God and enjoyed good treatment in the indigenous tribes, including two beautiful ladies who seemed to be beautiful to the indigenous people.
This story proves that "Avatar" has become so famous that all the natives of the Pacific Islands far away from the ends of the world know it.
The world has set off a wave of 3D movies. Anyone who knows movies knows that "Avatar" is at best a qualified commercial movie.
It can be popular all over the world because of its excellent Hollywood special effects technology and shocking 3D effects.
As the film director, James Cameron was once again accused of being a god, and as an investor, Gibert Jr. was once again praised for his good vision, which is in sharp contrast to David Ellison.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
It's also an investment movie. David Ellison made a bad job like "Creation of War", but Jibert Jr. invested in movies like "Avatar".
This is simply incomparable, Jibert Jr. completed a one-sided beating.
There have never stopped all the discussions about "Avatar". When Guo Fan returned to China, he talked about "Avatar", or Hollywood and Chinese-language films when he was a guest at the Beijing College Student Film Festival. gap.
The director who sat with him was Lu Chuan. Lu Chuan, who has not been given the nickname Lu Chuan Taro, is one of the most anticipated Chinese film directors in the Middle Ages.
His family background is also very strong. If Guo Fan had not studied abroad and directed Hollywood movies, he would not be qualified to talk to others.
Lu Chuan first talked about the gap between Chinese-language films and Hollywood films. He believed that it was a full-scale gap, especially in the strength of the systematic film industry.
"The best special effects companies in the world are in Hollywood, and the best film industry practitioners are in Hollywood."
Lu Chuan held up the microphone and spoke excitedly: "The Lord of the Rings at the beginning of the millennium 》The crew came to China, and many practitioners joined the crew of "The Lord of the Rings" and learned a lot.
But there are hundreds of thousands of practitioners in similar industries in Hollywood.
For example, in terms of investment scale, the current big-selling "Avatar" has invested 500 to 600 million US dollars. Which film company in the Chinese-language film industry can spend so much money?
Even if you can spend so much money, will there be such a large market to carry big productions and big investments in movies? "
Lu Chuan probably has not been able to invest well recently, so she complained about the conservative film company and the unprofessional practitioners, which is also normal.
After working hard for a few years, Guo Fan He still has some emotional intelligence. He did not refute Lu Chuan's remarks, and Lu Chuan's statements are not unreasonable.
But Guo Fan has his own opinion, and he also believes that people are the key.
But it is not a practitioner, but a creator. (This chapter ends)
