Chapter six hundred and sixty-one is not a suppression of suppression
"Mr. Palmater is too modest. Objectively speaking, the box office results of "Iron Man" are already very good." Cameron said seriously. Although Marvelis is one of the two giants in the comic industry, it is not so good in the film industry.
, but it is absolutely a rookie. It is already quite outstanding to achieve such results in the first few works. After all, it is impossible for everyone to be as defiant as Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Co., Ltd., from "Terminator 2"
"After becoming an instant hit, it has established a firm foothold in the film industry. Moreover, the reason why Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Co., Ltd. has been able to achieve such results is that most of its films are produced with Hollywood films.
Cooperate with film companies and successfully leverage the power of these film companies.
"Thank you, Director Cameron, for your compliment. I think the cast members of "Iron Man" would be very happy if they knew about your compliment." Palmater smiled, but he was secretly complaining in his heart. Now that he said this
What's the use of words? When "Iron Man" was released, if Cameron had publicly praised it in the media, the global box office of "Iron Man" would have been at least tens of millions of dollars higher! Of course, this is what he said in his heart.
Come on, Palmater wouldn't say it unless his brain was flooded.
"Mr. Palmater, I'm here this time because I want to talk to you about something." Cameron said, "Marvelis wants to enter the film industry. Do you have any intention of cooperating with others?"
Palmater's heart tightened and he said seriously: "Director Cameron, what do you mean..."
"I'm here today on behalf of Dream rd Company to ask Mr. Palmater whether Marvelis Company has any plans to transfer or share its equity." Cameron said calmly, "Dream rd Company is willing to acquire your company's shares at a suitable price.
Part or all of the equity."
"Dream Company?" Palmater repeated. The name was unfamiliar. But he didn't think Cameron would joke with him about this kind of thing.
"Dream Company is still a newly established company, but I think Mr. Palmater will be familiar with the shareholders. There are me, Spielberg, DreamWorks Pictures, Kingfisher Film Group and its president, Ms. Gore.
, as well as Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and its president Fang." Cameron said, "If Mr. Palmater likes cash, we have prepared US$3.5 billion for the entire equity of your company. If Mr. Palmater likes
In terms of equity, we can also give up part of the equity of Dream rd Company. I wonder if Mr. Palmater is interested in our proposal? Or is he still interested? "
Palmater blinked, then laughed after a while and said: "Director Cameron is really funny, it seems you think I have no choice?"
"No, no, no, you have to find a way to settle this misunderstanding, Mr. Palmater, because when he talks to us, he often says that I was abducted by him and told him what to do. Our Dream rd company has absolutely nothing to do with it.
It means forced buying and selling." Cameron said seriously. Although Palmater's face was calm, he was shocked in his heart. It was indeed as Cameron said, Dream rd Company is indeed unknown, but
Its shareholders are all well-established. Every one of them is well-known in the global film industry.
"Should I feel honored? The fact that marvellis company is favored by everyone shows our value." Palmater handed Cameron a cigar, lit another one for himself, and puffed out smoke.
"Haha, but Fang has a saying that is very good. The original words are in Chinese. I can't remember how to say them. The meaning in English is very straightforward. There are often good horses that can run a thousand miles a day, but those who can run them
It’s not often that people can identify horses from a herd. Therefore, pearls are often mixed with gravel. Only a few pearls are lucky enough to be discovered by people and become treasures treasured by the world.” Cameron smiled, “And, now,
The global economic downturn is inevitable, and we believe that Marvelis needs our help if it wants to show its talents in the film industry."
Palmater opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Even he couldn't tell lies in front of Cameron. Marvelis's status in the film industry was not comparable to Hong Kong's Kumho Film Group.
Compared with DreamWorks Pictures and Kingfisher Film Group, they are not on the same level.
And it is undeniable that Parmat is tempted! Parmat is not young anymore, and running Marvelis over the years has made him feel tired, especially now that the future development prospects of Marvelis are not clear, which is even more frustrating.
He has worked hard. And if Marvelis can get the support of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, DreamWorks Films, Jade Bird Film Group, Cameron, Spielberg, Fang...
When Palmater took over Marvelis, which had filed for bankruptcy, it was because of his long-term optimism about the comics industry and his love for Marvelis. Another important reason was that doing so would bring him benefits and social status! And here we are.
Now, he no longer has more energy and better business strategies to push Marvelis forward, so it would be a good idea to hand it over to a team that can make its future more glorious and enjoy the dividends and glory himself.
choice.
Cameron looked at the furnishings in the living room with a smile, as if these things had great appeal to him, and did not urge Palmater to give a reply.
"Director Cameron, what if I refuse? Will you all join forces to suppress my Marvelis company?" Palmater said.
"No, no, no, you can rest assured that we will not do this kind of thing. The prosperity of Hollywood is also what we people want to see. Marvelis is willing to join Hollywood, which will have a great impact on the future development of Hollywood and movies.
It is a good thing to have more diversified works. We will just shift our acquisition targets to dis companies. I believe Warner Group will be happy to cooperate with us to provide more classic works for movie fans." Cameron said.
Be honest without hesitation.
Palmater wanted to yell, this is not suppression, what else is suppression! Dis Company has always been a competitor of Marvelis Company in the comics industry. Since it was acquired by the then Time Warner Group Company in the 1990s, it has
Sufficient funds and channels to enter the film industry are also popular for a while. Marvelis Company is much inferior to it in terms of movies. If Dis Company gets support from Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company and others, its movies will be in the market
The market share will be higher, and the popularity of the movie will definitely promote the development of Dis Company in the field of comics. This is undoubtedly a bad news for Marvelis Company.
But he can't blame Cameron and the others. The two giants in the comics industry are Marvelis and Dis. It's hard for other companies to catch up with these two companies. If you, Palmater, refused to cooperate, they found another company to cooperate. This
It is a matter of course, and no one can say otherwise. He, Palmater, is not the President of the United States, but he is the President of the United States, and this does not fall within his jurisdiction.
"Then why did you choose us first?" Palmater asked with a smile, "If it's convenient."
"This is actually not inconvenient, because we think that your company's comic characters are more down-to-earth. Haha, this is what Fang said. It means that most of these comic characters are civilians or low-level people who have experienced some unexpected encounters.
And became a superhero, and the comic characters of dis company are relatively high-ranking, with powerful backgrounds and elite backgrounds. As you know, Fang himself is from the civilian class. Of course, he prefers heroes from civilian backgrounds. Of course, superheroes from civilian backgrounds
With his advantages, superheroes from elite backgrounds also have advantages, otherwise "Superman" and "Batman" would not be so popular."
Palmater nodded. The media has actually said this for a long time. It is not very new, but it is enough to explain why Dream forced rd Company to choose Marvelis Company in the first place. As for the deeper reasons, he certainly would not think that.
In such a simple way, Dream forced rd company to choose marvellis company. Since Cameron had no intention of saying anything, he couldn't ask any more questions.
"If I choose equity, should it be the equity of Dream Company or the equity of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group?" Palmater asked. The equity of these two companies is not the same thing.
"If Mr. Palmater insists, the equity of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is not out of the question, but firstly, the equity of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is very expensive, and secondly, what Mr. Palmater can get
The shareholding ratio must be much smaller than that of the Dream Company." Cameron said calmly, "From our perspective, of course we hope that Mr. Palmater will have a clear understanding of this."
Palmater nodded. He was not surprised by Cameron's answer. This result was also within his expectation. Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has not yet been listed, although the National People's Congress wants to become its shareholder.
There are people out there, but until now, only Jobs has been able to publicly become a shareholder of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, and that was the result of him transferring all his shares in Pixar Animation Company to Hong Kong Kumho Film Group.
Moreover, many people in the industry have speculated that there are other reasons behind Steve Jobs becoming a shareholder of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group. Otherwise, with the considerable profits of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group jointly controlled by the Fang family and the Guo family, how can
