Global monopoly of technology

Disney has been conducting a two-year acquisition of 21st Century Fox. It announced a week ago that it would initiate acquisitions for US$66.1 billion, including its 20th Century Fox Film Company, 20th Century Fox Television Company, and FX- Networks, National Geographic, and its 30% stake in streaming media platform Hulu and other assets.

However, it is worth mentioning that since Disney came out to disrupt Geying Bluestar Technology’s acquisition of Marvel Comics that year, the "Liangzi" of the two parties has become more and more serious. Baby Di is hard to have a rival in Hollywood, and its real heartache It is the two content production and streaming platform giants Bluestar Pictures and Netflix.

In the video conference, an executive at the meeting said: "20th Century Fox has Marvel's superhero IP, it seems that Disney is really a lot of small nine."

At present, the ownership rights of popular IPs such as X-Men, Deadpool and Fantastic Four are in the hands of 20th Century Fox, and they are all property that Marvel sold at the time of bankruptcy.

Obviously, this is a pity for the interaction of different characters and stories in the Marvel Universe of Marvel, a subsidiary of Blue Star Pictures. If 21st Century Fox can be acquired, more characters will be linked in future movies. Get up, such as the good friends Deadpool and Spider-Man in comics, and Wolverine and Iron Man.

The leading actor of Wolverine has set a Flag. As long as the X-Men can enter the Marvel universe, he is willing to play Wolverine again and fight Iron Man more.

The competition between Bluestar Technology and Hollywood giants has never stopped since the acquisition of Marvel, and the two sides have been fighting in secret.

It's just that the friction here is magnified to the entire Bluestar Technology Group, the business technology empire, and it doesn't account for much, but it still has a huge influence in the global film and television entertainment industry.

Nowadays, the senior management of Bluestar Technology has begun to make efforts to occupy its commanding heights in the field of cultural output. The battle for the film and television sector will only be more intense than ever.

Luo Sheng put his legs on his desk, leaned against the boss chair, and said faintly: "The sentence is over. If the 21st Century Fox is Disney's, we are uncomfortable; if it is ours, Disney is uncomfortable. We don’t want to be uncomfortable, to make Disney uncomfortable, it’s that simple."

Being swallowed by the Disney Whale, the integrity of the Marvel Universe may never be realized. Of course, Blue Star Pictures is uncomfortable, and the commercial value mining of the Marvel Universe will also be hindered.

In addition to Marvel's works, 20th Century Fox has also mastered the "Avatar", "Alien" and "Planet of the Apes" series, including the "Rise of the Apes" series, "Ace Agent" and other popular works.

Most importantly, the company still has the permanent distribution rights for "Star Wars: A New Hope". If Disney succeeds in the acquisition and its subordinates have acquired Lucasfilm, it will have absolute ownership of the super IP "Star Wars". Control.

In turn, Bluestar Technology won. Not only did Marvel superhero IPs gather, Disney also couldn't wholeheartedly develop the super IP of Star Wars.

Luo Sheng added: "If we acquire Fox, Blue Star Pictures will have to directly control it, and IP such as X-Men and Deadpool cannot return to Marvel's hands, lest Marvel will grow bigger and its management will bargain with the parent company. ."

Marvel Pictures, a subsidiary of Bluestar Films, a subsidiary of Bluestar Technology Group, has supported half of the performance of Bluestar Films due to its popularity in recent years. To some extent, it is a bit kidnapped. I have become more confident and speak louder and louder.

If this continues, will there be a strike in two years?

Because Marvel has made some movies with some black Chinese elements, although it is more cryptic, but eating the owner's fan black owner, this is obviously drifting, Luo Sheng has been upset with the management of Marvel for a long time.

Bluestar Pictures is not a panacea. Although it promises not to interfere with the daily operations of Marvel's management, the company's voting rights in the general meeting of shareholders are absolute control, but it has not used its authority.

If Marvel jumped like the AMC theater line, Luo Sheng wouldn't mind directly removing the entire Marvel management team. If the IP of Marvel Universe was smashed, it would be smashed, and Bluestar Technology could afford to lose tens of billions of dollars in profits.

"Iron Man", "Mg Team" and "Spider-Man" appear to belong to Blue Star Pictures, but their actual ownership is actually in the hands of Marvel, which is a subsidiary of Blue Star Pictures.

If the acquisition of Fox is successful this time, the X-Men IPs must not be returned to Marvel's hands. They must be directly controlled by Bluestar Pictures to gain greater control so that Marvel can converge.

At this time, Luo Sheng said in an unquestionable tone: "M&A is a reorganization. The obedient stay, and the disobedient are withdrawn. The chaos in the early stage is no problem at all. The chaos and the subsequent treatment are healthier, and the short-term loss is insignificant. Mid-term losses are acceptable. The parent company has a blood transfusion. The acquisition of Fox is not finished with a few board seats. What I want is the actual right to speak, otherwise it is meaningless."

Lao Zhang nodded: "Understood."

In the 21st century, a company as big as Fox, even if it is really broken, can sell a lot of money by selling its assets. Anyway, it is not the son of Bluestar Technology, even if it is broken, Luo Sheng will not feel distressed at all.

This issue was established, and the next issue was successfully undertaken. An executive at the meeting asked: "What about the theater? This is a problem. We can't do it. Who can do it?"

This is not something that ordinary companies can do. The minimum standard is also a multinational company with a scale of more than US$50 billion.

In China, there are only a few companies that want to have this strength and financial resources. Wanzhen, Ali, Byte, and Hua are such a few companies.

Wan Ting was originally the most diligent in the film and television culture sector. Three years ago, he bought and bought all over the world. When he bought the AMC cinema chain, he also bought Legendary Pictures. Now it is turned off and all kinds of selling and selling, not to mention.

Alibaba, as the second largest Internet giant after Bluestar Technology in China at present, an e-commerce giant with a market value of 500 billion US dollars, must have this strength, but the problem is that it is more competitive than cooperation with Bluestar Technology. The two sides are "exchanging fire" in various fields such as entertainment, social networking, e-commerce, and both sides are afraid that the other will cause trouble. Even if they do cooperate, they will keep one hand. This is obviously difficult to achieve a major event.

Bytedance, the emerging Internet multinational company that has emerged in recent years seems to have become a giant. In fact, this company is also Luo Sheng's. It seems to be the most suitable, but the two sides are so hard on the face. It is difficult for Lao Zhang to do it, and the management does not understand that they will oppose it. They think it will shake the core competitiveness of the parent company and will inevitably oppose it collectively. Although Luo Sheng said nothing, it would be difficult to do it if they all oppose it collectively. Time, difficult.

Huawei, an upright technology company, purely high-tech, has nothing to do with the entertainment industry.However, if Luo Sheng would say hello to Huawei, with the pattern of being an old man, coupled with the sincere cooperation of the two parties for so many years, Huawei would definitely accept this suggestion generously, and it would be impossible to lose money, but the probability of making money is very high. Big.

But the problem is that Huawei is also the focus of attention by the United States, especially the leading 5G technology. The attention of the United States is no less than that of the Blue Coast. Huawei has not even been able to open the North American market even today. In this sense, it's worse than the Blue Coast. Anyway, Azure-5 phones are also sold in the North American market.

Luo Sheng said solemnly: "This is indeed quite nerve-wracking, there are a lot of things that can be done, but it is not satisfactory, it may explode..."

The management made corresponding analysis for these companies, and the results were not satisfactory.

At this moment, another executive suddenly said: "Mr. Luo, I think there is still one missing, maybe it can."

Luo Sheng curiously asked: "Who? You said Lianxiang? Just forget it."

"No, it's not this, it's President Lei."

Mr. Lei?

Rebs?

Luo Sheng was stunned, and the executive continued: "I think Xiao Mi is very suitable. Anyway, Xiao Mi does almost everything in business. He has done balance bikes. There is nothing to do with a theater chain. No surprises. The key is that Xiao Mi will not cause Lao Mei to be too vigilant."

Zhang Bowen couldn't help but smile and said, "Hey, I said, don't pass the latter sentence to Mr. Lei's ears. Lei will always feel offended when he hears it. Maybe he won't cooperate with us."

Everyone smiled knowingly.

Well, the company named and looked after by Lao Mei these years is a manifestation of recognition of its strength. This may be some kind of authority certification.
