Chapter 1742 The Film Industry (2)
The accumulation of wealth and wealth at the level of Han Xuan has long been different. The level of contact with truly entering the top class that is enough to influence human society has long exceeded the level of intersection with a certain political party official, but is communicating directly with the two major political parties in the United States.
Mr. Han is fine. He became a super rich man more than ten years ago and was usually communicating with elites at this level. Although Guo Muzhou is rich, he has not yet become as rich as that. It is natural to feel moved after listening to his grandson's words. The family's power has developed too fast, which makes him feel an illusion of being unreal.
Old Man Han has been developing his own business, and Guo Muzhou earned a lot of money when he was young, and then he entered a long state of relaxation and traveled everywhere. Especially after his only daughter got married to Han Qianshan, he lived leisurely for more than ten years. It was not until Han Xuan suggested to enter the film industry in 1994 that he would start again and develop his second career.
After sighing, Guo Muzhou then said to Han Xuan: "If Time Warner Group can be merged, it will be of great benefit to our company.
dc comics and Marvel comics are both in our hands. We can merge these two companies, and the Avengers can add new members, Superman vs. Iron Man, Captain America vs. Batman.
Marvel Studios has successfully released the movies such as "Blade Warrior", "Men in Black" and "X-Men". How much money can be made is second-most important. More importantly, these movies have been popular in the box office, indicating that they have successfully opened up the IP market for animation adaptations into movies. My Marvel Comics Company's market value has soared to 4 billion.
Have you known this company would be popular for a long time? That's why I asked me to buy this company back then, and so did Pixar Animation Studio. This long-term vision really scared me.
In addition, Dimen Pictures can also benefit. If it is merged with Warner Bros. Pictures, its strength will be ranked first among major Hollywood film companies. Compared with veteran companies such as MGM, Warner Bros. Pictures is in good condition. Over the years, it has made some good movies every year, and the number of terrifying film library resources will bring it a lot of profits."
Part of the reason why Han Xuan targeted Time Warner Group was because he was attracted by the copyright of Warner Bros. Pictures’ film library and the copyright of Time Music. These two parts can be transformed into a continuous stream of huge profits through the Internet in the future.
Most of the largest media groups in the United States, including Viacom, News Corporation and other companies, are adopting similar development models: TV stations, newspapers and magazines, plus one or several large film companies, to control the entire good industrial chain from shooting to broadcast, thus creating a huge influence.
Han Xuan also tried to form an emerging media group through ABC TV and grandfather's industries. However, the market has almost been controlled by those old media groups, and it is difficult to achieve great development. It will take a long time to seize market share with them.
I just happened to have a lot of funds in my hand, and there was a good opportunity to annex Time Warner Group. With the failure of the merger with the United States Online, I lost my advantage in the Internet access industry and my stock price plummeted. It can be said that I have both the time and people and the advantages.
At this time, he smiled and told his grandfather, "I am not a god, so how can I calculate which companies can rise? However, when a company develops, it has the principle to promote its development.
At that time, I considered that with the rise of computer technology, movie special effects will become more and more realistic. The world depicted in comics can be truly moved to the big screen through computer special effects, which is why you acquired Marvel, and Pixar Animation Studio is the same. Compared with traditional animation, it is also more realistic.
In addition, after the economic crisis in the 1980s and the 1990s, the cultural and entertainment industry will inevitably develop with the development of the economy. I am doing business in this way, paying attention to the prospects of a certain industry, but investing in it."
"In other words, do you think Time Warner Group has great potential this time?" Guo Muzhou made tea again, said this with a smile, and filled Pu'er tea into the small cup in front of Anya.
At first glance, he is a veteran who is proficient in tea ceremony. In the place of origin of Pu'er tea, the water will boil when it reaches about 87 degrees Celsius because of its high altitude. Therefore, locals use this kind of water that is over 80 degrees Celsius to make Pu'er tea. Pour it out and cool it for a short time before you can drink it.
This method was preserved by Grandpa Han Xuan. He cooled the boiled spring water for a while before he started making tea. The spring water comes from the Palm Springs area of California. The groundwater is rich in minerals and has a slightly sweet taste.
Han Xuan replied: "The news industry will definitely improve again with the Internet industry and be influenced by the emerging online media industry. However, other departments are quite worth investing. It is more profitable to invest so much money in other places, but influence is more important to my family.
That's all? Then you can help me manage the film industry?"
"Let me talk about it then. You may not be able to acquire Time Warner Group. I am older now and my energy is not as good as before. I can only help you take care of it. Dimen Pictures Group alone has made me exhausted and I have had a lot of white hair recently."
"I'm not sure I'll get the controlling stake in Time Warner Group, but I'm sure I'll get its subsidiary Warner Bros. Pictures. A large part of its shares are in the hands of the Japanese. If you give it money, the consortium will definitely resell the shares to me."
After hearing Han Xuan's words, grandfather Guo Muzhou looked up at him. He was worried that the Internet bubble would collapse and the baby grandson would be in a bad mood. Now he seems to be overly worried and smiled on his face: "Let's talk about it then. It's almost the end of the year. The finance side is counting this year's revenue situation and can give employees a big red envelope.
Why do you have time to come to me today? I just heard that you will sing in Times Square this year. How could you like to show up there? Your current identity is not suitable."
"I had a headache when I mentioned this. My friend Ramirez was tricked by me. I just wanted to rehearse the songs and went to Times Square to sing and came to Los Angeles.
Maybe I have to dance while singing, which is really a big problem. Where can I dance?"
Han Xuan shook his head helplessly, remembered something, and asked his grandfather: "My Black Hole Records Headquarters is also inside Stark Building, which floor is it?"
