Chapter 850 2 years
Faced with the offensive of Hollywood giants, to be honest, it is difficult for Lynn Film to resist.
Not to mention finding relevant departments to check the water meter, directly competing with you in terms of schedule, etc., if you have one, the QYU will collapse by itself.
That is to cut off Sony Columbia's North American and global distribution channels.
Without Sony Columbia's distribution channels, it would be impossible for each Marvel superhero movie that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to get a box office as scheduled.
What could have won a global box office of 1 billion yuan, but in the end it could only get 500 million yuan, or even only 300 million yuan.
I'll ask you, will you collapse?
As for asking other independent film companies for help?
It is impossible. In the face of the threat from Hollywood giants or even group threats, no independent film company can withstand it.
It would be good if they didn't take any harm to the wrongdoing.
As for believing in Sony Colombia's character?
It’s even more impossible. No one is a good person, and you are the one you can rely on after all.
Sony Columbia has shown interest in Marvel Entertainment now. Wanting to rely on Sony Columbia to maintain Marvel Entertainment is tantamount to seeking a flirt with a tiger!
Chen Hao once thought of countless ways, but in the end it didn't work.
It is impossible to monopolize the huge profits of the Marvel Superhero Cinema Universe.
Eating alone cannot last long! What's more, it's a Chinese in North America!
So Chen Hao could only share this super big cake, and at the same time continuously strengthen his strength so that he no longer had to be threatened and tempted by Hollywood giants.
The recent bankruptcy custody of MGM has allowed Chen Hao to see a possibility of Liangtianchi Film becoming a giant!
"You mean you're going to sell Marvel Entertainment and buy MGM with that money?" Smart asked.
Chen Hao smiled and said, "Yes, no, I will not sell Marvel Entertainment completely, but only sell a part of the shares."
After all, only Chen Hao knows how much money the Marvel superhero movie universe will make in the future.
It can be said that in the future, there are fewer and fewer successful original movies, basically in the era of IP movies, and Marvel superhero movies are the absolute king among them.
Hollywood is almost dominated by Marvel superheroes, so the global movie market will naturally be dominated by Marvel superheroes!
However, although some of the profits must be given up, Chen Hao cannot be so stupid that he does not keep a piece of the biggest cake.
Smart nodded after hearing this, "Disney's offer to Marvel Entertainment has increased to $4.5 billion. If you sell half of the shares, then more than $2 billion should be able to satisfy those consortiums."
Chen Hao smiled. He had discussed with investment consultant Hu Jin before that MGM's assets were as high as 11.3 billion, but now they are completely non-performing assets.
Therefore, Chen Hao only needs to take out about US$2 billion to let those consortium shareholders cash out and leave.
After all, they used high-plus leverage to win MGM at that time. They had already made $2 billion. They could still put aside MGM's hot potato, why not do it?
Of course, huge debts cannot be avoided.
As for Disney's desire to buy Marvel Entertainment for 4.5 billion?
Impossible.
Although it is 300 million higher than the 4.2 billion in his previous life, Chen Hao is not stupid. He only released "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2" and sold Marvel Entertainment.
At least I have to wait until the release of "Avengers" directed by myself.
At that time, the first phase of the Marvel Superhero Cinema Universe had been completed, and the entire Marvel Superhero Cinema Universe was presented to everyone, and the price really rose.
The current 4.5 billion will be at least tripled after the release of "Avengers", or even exceed 20 billion!
However, Chen Hao himself has to retain a considerable portion of the equity of Marvel Entertainment, after all, it makes money.
At the same time, Chen Hao thought it would be better to add a few Hollywood giants to the market so that Disney would not dominate.
After all, Disney will develop too vigorously in the future, and even the 20th Century Fox will be swallowed by it.
In order to curb this future strongest competitor, Chen Hao wanted to control Disney's purchase of Marvel Entertainment's equity.
However, the reality is that under the 2008 financial crisis, many companies have not recovered well even now.
The six giants in Hollywood, in addition to Disney's wealth, are also rich, that is, Warner Bros., and other giants have only assets, but they really don't have much cash.
If Disney really wants Marvel Entertainment, it may use the method of raising prices to force other giants to leave.
Of course, Disney is definitely a way to invest in cash + equity.
This is something Chen Hao is willing to see. If you want to survive in Hollywood for a long time, the best way is to have me in you and I have you in me.
This can greatly improve the company's risk resistance. As long as you don't fall, I will survive.
Chen Hao wants other giants to participate, but they lack cash, so they will be the strongest Disney in the future.
And Chen Hao must have cash to win MGM, which is really a bit contradictory.
"I will sell part of the equity of Marvel Entertainment, but not now, but after the release of "Avengers"," Chen Hao said.
Smart nodded when he heard this, obviously knowing Chen Hao's confidence and believed that Marvel Entertainment's valuation will soar after the release of "Avengers"!
"But you give all the money to the shareholders of MGM Holdings, what should I do after you acquire MGM? You should know that they still have huge debts. Even if they don't need to pay them back immediately, the interest on the debt alone is not low." Smart said.
"Don't MGM have hotels, resorts and coffee businesses? After the acquisition, I will transfer this part of the assets, at least sell the projects with bad business conditions. The funds should be enough for MGM to pay back interest and have been operating normally for two years." Chen Hao said.
The Smart actor nodded, this was a solution.
"There are still two years left before the release of "Avengers", so you will spend these two years discussing the acquisition with MGM Holdings. After all, MGM's equity is a bit complicated, and it is impossible to negotiate for such a large amount of funds in a short while.
At the same time, you also need to contact other Hollywood giant companies besides Disney and Sony Columbia to let them participate in the acquisition negotiations of Marvel Entertainment, so that we can start the price easily.
Anyway, you have to talk to them slowly and argue slowly, and it will be fine until the release of "Avengers" in 2012." Chen Hao said.
Smart thought about Chen Hao's entire plan after hearing this, and it seemed that it was indeed executable.
But it is not without flaws. The most important thing is that the next three films in the first phase of the Marvel Superhero Cinema Universe, "Thor", "Captain America" and "Avengers" must be successful.
Otherwise, Marvel would not be able to sell at a high price and would not satisfy the appetite of MGM's controlling shareholders at all. Then acquiring MGM is a fantasy.
But the success of two Marvel superhero movies, "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2", made Smart couldn't help but look forward to the next three movies.
