Reborn American Tyrant

Chapter 695 The Essence of the Media Industry

William White's large-scale investment has in fact raised the threshold of the film industry.Even if you are an industry giant, you still need to weigh the cost of direct competition.

As for those small companies, it is undoubtedly difficult to mix well in the film industry.Of course, as long as you have the ability to fool money, you can still try it.

No matter how good William White is, he can't fill 20,000 screens.The overall box office data of the United States is increasing year by year, even if it encounters this year's negative economic growth, it is still increasing.

"Paramount wants to sell? Tsk tsk, what a big appetite, who is this awesome 13?" William White was a little strange. They seemed to have a good life, how could they sell it.

They talk about Hollywood, but in fact, only Paramount is a Hollywood studio in the true sense.A bunch of companies, including White Pictures and Disney, are not registered in Los Angeles, or even California.

Regardless of whether California has money or economic development.California's taxes are basically the highest in the United States.

"Boss, it's Lei Shidong, the one who started on the cinema chain."

"Summery Stone East? Wait, Philson, this old guy, should he be in his seventies? Is this planning to start a second business?"

"Yes, boss, don't underestimate this guy. This time, the support of the Jewish consortium is very strong. Moreover, Paramount does have plans to sell. The only problem now is that his wife seems to plan to share with him. Family."

Puff, William White smiled directly. He really didn't expect that there would be such an interesting thing.

Hey, that's not right, he cut off the creativity of MTV TV.This old guy should not have this capital.Where is the problem?

"Philson, are the theater operators very profitable now? This guy named Redstone has any business."

"Video rentals, TV stations, and theaters. The theaters in the past two years are indeed very profitable." Philson said heartily, you don't look at how much money you make.Cinema operators don't just have box office, don't they also sell popcorn.By the way, there are all kinds of game consoles. You should know how profitable these things are.

"I see. He has taken a fancy to Paramount's film library. The money he spends now will be paid back soon."

"Yes, the boss, coupled with Paramount's distribution channels, his threat is no less than Time Warner."

"Hey, these guys are really tenacious. By the way, how is Murdoch now?"

"He has already thrown all his bets. Except for News Corp and Fox, the old guy is just a shell. Even for these two companies, his holding ratio is very low."

"Well, I see. Go and see if they sell the film library. Also, Kokolian who helped me ask MGM."

"Okay, boss, I see."

Philson knew without asking that buying a library was nonsense.You sell the most valuable things, the ghost will continue to buy.As for the Cokerian, this is a stirring stick, and if the boss flickers here, he will definitely stir it up.

William White knew very well that no matter how much he coveted, Paramount could not sell him.The combination of White Pictures and Disney is already very scary. If Paramount is added, his statue of William White can stand on the Avenue of Stars.

Movies, TV, newspapers and magazines seem to be irrelevant, but they are not.He, William White, started with movies, and then TV newspapers and magazines.By now, White Media is already a giant.

Murdoch is different, the old guy started with paper media.Then there is the TV, and finally the movie.Obviously, his thoughts are similar to William White, but on the question of who comes first, he and William White have different views.

Facts have proved that William White is one move higher.From film and television to paper media, Murdoch was hanged.At the moment, I am afraid that even the opponent is not even considered.

Redstone has been thinking about Paramount for three years and has been observing Hollywood for three years.He observes every move of William White very carefully.After so many years, he summed up four words, that is, content is king.

When it came to this situation, Lei Shidong knew that he could not wait.William White, the bastard, is obviously using his capital advantage to crush his opponent. If he doesn't buy a ticket to enter the market, no one in the world can beat William White.

The news that a movie was made at 200 million dollars, the whole Hollywood fell into a strange silence.No one knows what a 200 million dollar movie should look like, and no one knows how to make a 200 million dollar movie.

However, a common idea is that William White may not lose.

With a global box office of over 100 million, it is considered a good movie in Hollywood.When it comes to William White, half a billion dollars is the profit and loss line.Nima, this gap really cannot be let go.

To blame?

Don't be funny, you are not even rivals for low-cost movies.If you have the ability, you will have a higher rate of return than Home Alone.

William White’s success has taught the world what the media industry should do.

Yes, you all have your own goals, and you all want to carry private goods.Making money is not your first choice. It is your job to feed the whole world with chicken soup.

William White is now telling everyone with practical actions that you are all wrong.The most important thing in the media is the content, who cares about who you killed before.

To be honest, the education level of Laos and America is very polarized.Ordinary people are choking in their calculations, and their mastery of historical and geographic knowledge can only be described as ridiculous.If you talk to these people about the ones that are not, it's better to tell them that cats are more cute.

What?The elite may not like it.

Don't be kidding, don't say it is now, even in the age of self-media, except for those traffic stars, the animals with the highest clicks must be those animals.

Besides, what the elites like to watch on TV is useful. This group of guys must have a fulfilling life and will not help your ratings.

Obviously, other giants can see that it is hard to say, Redstone sees it.The old guy's eyes were red as he watched William White's money.

"Henry, what did my damn wife say?"

Seeing the old guy's nonchalant words, Henry did not intend to explain.If your two in-laws do this, you can be considered capable.

"Summer, if possible, you'd better reconcile. This lawsuit will not be settled without 500 million."

"Five hundred million?" Lei Shidong felt his liver tremble.There are also more generous Jewish people, but Summer Redstone is not in this list.

If there is a stingy ranking in this world, the old guy must be among the best.For the sake of a good knife, he went to court with his wife and returned him several times.For the sake of the knife, and his son tore their faces.Haha, this guy, only Grandet can be compared.

Of course, the stingy mentioned here is just his attitude towards people.Family members don't even want to use his money, and it's even impossible for people in the company.The most typical case is that Viacom’s reporter was kidnapped in Iraq. Because Redstone refused to pay the ransom, the reporter was torn apart.

Those who were tied up at the same time were released soon after someone paid the ransom.

In the end, the reason given by Viacom was reluctant to explain, because paying the ransom would indeed encourage this behavior.Well, even though the explanation is correct, everyone in the circle knows that the old guy is reluctant to pay.It's okay to say three to five million, thirty to fifty million, you won't give it to his son if you catch him.
