American Fortune Life

Karl saw that Andy was surrounded by a beautiful woman with a new face of Asian descent. Naturally, there would be no surprise. For Andy's ‘greed for fun', it could be said that he was the one who knew him best.

Of course, when it comes to Chen Zhi Painting, Carl has already read the information, has an unidentifiable face of Asian descent, and when he sees the painting himself, he also admires Andy's brilliance.

Two people were introduced, and after a brief chill, Andy asked the maid to take Chen Zhi painting to pick the room and report safely to her family and friends in the country, leaving only Andy and Carl in the living room.

“Every time you come back, you shove one at me. Seriously, there really isn't that much resources to divide them. The problem is, it's still the most difficult Asian face to find resources, boss. You're trying to drive me crazy. ”

As soon as Chen Zhiyang left, Karl began to complain in a bitter way.

Andy shrugged his shoulders, bluntly saying: “It's not like we're going to let them play girls one, two, arrange some little characters, just paint their faces, Asian actors can be Hollywood three or four stars, it's already very good, they're up on the second line, there's only one Jack Chan, and they know that, so, don't complain, tell me, what's new in Hollywood lately. ”

When Andy said that, Carl was relieved, but with a depressed look on his face, he said, "You know what's going on in Hollywood, there aren't many Asian characters... Forget it, when I didn't say. ”

Seeing Andy staring at himself coldly, Carl followed his heart with a very interesting smile and continued: “Nothing much has happened lately. In addition to the volcanic fires that have not yet been extinguished, you may be interested in Disney being in contact with Lucas Film Industry. There are reports that Disney intends to acquire Lucas Film Industry, take down Star Wars Series revenues and strengthen the expansion of the market for men's xing users. ”

“Hmm?” Andy was stunned at first. To be honest, the news was a little unexpected, but it soon became clear, after all, that Marvel had become the rocking money tree in his hands, and seemed to have few goals in Hollywood that Disney could acquire. The Star Wars series was undoubtedly the best option, not weaker than Marvel's superhero IP, but more widespread and deeply influenced by Star Wars.

“Tsk, it smells like money! ”

Andy was saddened. He knew that Disney couldn't afford to spend more on this acquisition. You know, George Lucas, an old guy, was also clever. He had been pressing the Star Wars series for so many years, not shooting sequels. Besides not wanting to shoot randomly and smashing the sign, more importantly, he was also a little overwhelmed and wanted to sell for a price.

“Yeah, the deal could have involved four to five billion dollars, and maybe this time it was really Disney picking up a big deal.” Carl said with some emotion.

“Oh? What do you think? Tell me.” Andy was curious by Carl's tone.

“Nothing, Lucas, is a huge movie industry, but a whole system of Hollywood movie industry. It includes several subsidiaries.

“Lucas Publishing” continues to bring him licensing gains, and "Industrial Light Demon” and “Skywalker Sound” have become one of Hollywood's most important branches for nearly two decades and an integral part of the Hollywood industrial system. To date, Industrial Light Magic has produced and participated in nearly 300 films, and Skywalker Sound effects have produced special effects for more than 300 films.

This is a tremendous fortune, plus, four years after the last Star Wars movie, global Star Wars fans will have to wait a long time. If Disney Acquisition is completed, be harsh, build a Star Wars in a year, squeeze the potential of Star Wars, and maybe earn back the acquired money along with the principal and interest.

The Star Wars series definitely has this potential, you know, it's a whole world, and a whole world that's been around for over 30 years! “

When he heard Carl's words, Andy was caught in contemplation, frowning slightly, touching his chin, and he was also deeply convinced that he hadn't thought of joining the battle for the acquisition of Lucas Film, but he hesitated, after all, that his stall was too big, that Smith Media Group, which had just completed its integration, had not digested any of its existing resources, that it was holding a lot of IP resources, that it needed a lot of money to invest, and spending billions more to acquire Lucas Film, whether it could be digested, was a big question.

Money, he's not missing, but if he walks up to see something, he buys something, he buys something, he doesn't go home. It's too big a step. What if it's bullshit?

Still steady, wait and see, anyway, this kind of acquisition negotiation is not possible in a day or two, especially considering the Star Wars series as a child, George Lucas, which is definitely a big problem in the negotiations.

“You said if I offered Lucas the acquisition of Industrial Light Demon, would he agree? ”

When Carl heard Andy's question, he had to roll his eyes and cry, “Boss, a complete diamond necklace, would you knock down a diamond for money? ”

“Okay.” Andy himself knew to ask a silly question, but it also showed how obsessed he was with Industrial Light Demons. Although the Universal Film Industry also had its own special effects animation company, some advanced technology and Industrial Light Demons could not be compared.

“By the way, one more thing, Hollywood recently started traveling to Asia to find money, the hot money in India and Heaven has become the hottest topic in Hollywood, a lot of companies have sent people to Heaven and India to find money, you see, do we send people to India to see, after all, how many people are stupid and don't take money for nothing.” Carl smiled at Andy's eyebrow picking report.

If you're going to ask what Hollywood needs most right now, then there's only one answer: money!

Hollywood finds that financing from US hedge funds and banks has dried up, and now San and Tian Dynasty companies hold large amounts of money and have the ability to invest. Hollywood is in dire need of overseas funding to continue its global expansion.

Foreign capital investment in Hollywood is not new. Far away, Germany, French capital landed in New York and Los Angeles in the 1980s, buying everywhere, and causing riots. Soon after the excitement passed, Hollywood left them with the lesson of staying in the famous grounds.

India has become an important force in the recent round of knocking on the Hollywood gates.

However, it is conceivable that waiting for them is only a large amount of tuition and lessons to be learned, and then the bloodshed slips away.

Hollywood, a flowing foreign investor, wrote a bloody lesson, not just a word.

Imagine, before coming to Hollywood, who didn't have the skills to scold the country, who didn't ride the capital wave and want to be famous in the California sunshine, who didn't want to promote a culture of excellence in front of the American audience?

But in fact, many investors do not have the expertise in the film and television industry, disregarding the specificities of the creative industry, blindly carrying out capital operations, and the end result is likely to be smashing past thousands of gold in exchange for no equivalent.

Honestly, in this big Hollywood pit, both directors and producers, are skilled at ignoring foreign capital, the white wolf's expertise in empty gloves, because they've come to too many ‘dirt', and there are so many success stories, their noses are more sensitive than dogs, they smell a little bloody, they pounce on the bottom line, they shake their tails, they empty their money, they turn their faces, they don't recognize anyone, and they wait for another BO foreign capital to arrive.

“Go, why not!” Andy didn't hesitate to say, "Sandy was happy to send the money, why not! ”
