Global Monopoly of Technology

Disney has been in the process of acquiring 21st Century Fox for two years. A week ago, it announced that it would launch a merger with $66.1 billion, including its 20th Century Fox Film Company, 20th Century Fox Television Company, FX- Assets such as Networks, National Geographic, and their 30% stake in streaming platform Hulu.

However, it is worth mentioning that since Disney came out to disrupt Bluestar Technology and acquired Marvel Comics back then, the "liangzi" between the two sides has become deeper and deeper. Di Baobao is difficult to have a rival in Hollywood, and his real worry It is the two content production and streaming platform giants Bluestar Pictures and Netflix.

During the video conference, one of the executives who attended the meeting said: "20th Century Fox has a superhero IP under Marvel. It seems that Disney is really playing a lot."

At present, the ownership of popular IP such as X-Men, Deadpool and Fantastic Four is in the hands of 20th Century Fox, all of which are properties sold by Marvel when it was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Obviously, this is a pity for the interaction of different characters and stories in the Marvel universe of Marvel, a subsidiary of Bluestar Pictures. If Twenty-First Century Fox can be acquired, more characters will be linked in future movies. Get up, like the good friends Deadpool and Spider-Man in the comics, and then like Wolverine and Iron Man.

The starring role of Wolverine has been established. As long as the X-Men can enter the Marvel Universe, he is willing to play Wolverine again and fight with Iron Man.

The competition between Bluestar Technology and Hollywood giants has not stopped since the acquisition of Marvel, and the two sides are constantly fighting.

It's just that the friction here is magnified to the entire Bluestar Technology Group, a commercial technology empire.

Now that the senior management of Bluestar Technology has begun to exert force in the field of cultural output to occupy its commanding heights, the competition in the film and television sector will only be more intense than before.

Luo Sheng put his legs on his desk, sat leaning against the boss chair, and said lightly: "After a sentence is finished, if 21st Century Fox is Disney's, we will be uncomfortable; if it is ours, Disney will be uncomfortable, We don’t want to be uncomfortable, make Disney uncomfortable, it’s that simple.”

If it is swallowed by Disney, the completeness of the Marvel Universe may never be realized. Of course, Blue Star Pictures is very uncomfortable, and the commercial value mining of the Marvel Universe will also be constrained.

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

On top of that, the company also has the perpetual distribution rights to Star Wars: A New Hope,

If Disney's acquisition is successful, and it has acquired Lucasfilm, it will have absolute control over the super IP of "Star Wars".

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

Luo Sheng added: "If we acquire Fox, we want Blue Star Pictures to directly control, and IP such as X-Men and Deadpool cannot be returned to Marvel's hands, lest Marvel expand its management to bargain with the parent company. ."

Marvel Studios, a subsidiary of Bluestar Pictures, a subsidiary of Bluestar Technology Group, has propped up half of the performance of Bluestar Pictures due to its popularity in recent years. He became more and more confident, and he spoke louder and louder, and even if he wanted this or that, he even made small moves.

If things go on like this, is there going to be a strike in two years?

Because Marvel has made some movies, which are mixed with some elements of Heihuaguo, although it is relatively obscure, but eating the owner's rice to blacken the owner, this is obviously floating, Luo Sheng has been unhappy with the Marvel management for a long time.

Bluestar Pictures is not a big deal. Although it promises not to interfere in the day-to-day operations of Marvel's management, the company's voting rights at the shareholders' meeting are absolute control, but it has not yet used the authority.

If Marvel jumps like AMC Cinemas, Luo Sheng doesn't mind directly withdrawing the entire Marvel management. If the IP of Marvel Universe is smashed, it will be smashed, and Bluestar Technology can afford to lose tens of billions of dollars in profits.

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

If the acquisition of Fox is successful this time, the IP of the X-Men will definitely not be returned to Marvel's hands. It must be directly controlled by Bluestar Pictures, so as to gain greater control, so that Marvel can restrain a little.

At this time, Luo Sheng said with an unmistakable tone: "M\u0026A means reorganization, those who are obedient will stay, and those who are disobedient will be withdrawn. There is no problem at all in the early stage of chaos, and after chaos, it will be healthier, and the short-term losses will be negligible. Medium-term losses are also acceptable, the parent company has a blood transfusion, and the acquisition of Fox is not done with a few board seats, what I want is the actual right to speak, otherwise it is meaningless."

Lao Zhang nodded: "Understood."

For a company as big as 21st Century Fox, even if it is really broken, it can sell off its assets for a lot of money. Anyway, it is not the son of Bluestar Technology, so even if it breaks Luo Sheng, it will not feel bad at all.

This topic was established, and the next topic was successfully undertaken. A senior executive who attended the meeting asked: "What about the theater chain? 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 50 billion US dollars.

In China, there are only a few companies that have this strength and financial resources after thinking about it.

Wan Chong was originally the most diligent in the layout of the film and television culture sector. Three years ago, it bought and bought all over the world. After buying the AMC cinema chain, it also bought Legendary Pictures. Now it is turned off.

Ali, as the second largest Internet giant in China after Bluestar Technology, and 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 "crossing fire" in many fields such as entertainment, social networking, and e-commerce. Both sides are afraid that the other will cause trouble. Even if they really cooperate, they will keep one hand.

ByteDance, an emerging Internet multinational company that has risen in recent years, seems to already have the appearance of a giant. In fact, this company is also Luo Sheng, which seems to be the most suitable, but the two sides are so fierce on the surface, they will It is difficult for Lao Zhang to do it, and the management does not understand that they will oppose it. They think that this will shake the core competitiveness of the parent company and must be opposed collectively. Although Luo Sheng said that there is no difference, it is difficult to do if they are opposed collectively. It is not a showdown yet. time, difficult.

Hua Wei, a serious technology company, is purely high-tech, and has nothing to do with the entertainment industry. However, if Luo Sheng said hello to Hua Wei, with the pattern of being an old man and the sincere cooperation between the two sides for so many years, Hua Wei would definitely accept this proposal generously, and the loss would not be much, and the probability of making money would be very high. big.

But the problem is that Hua Wei is also the focus of the old and the United States, especially the leading 5G technology. The old and the United States are not less concerned about it than the Cote d'Azur. Hua Wei has not even been able to open the North American market to this day. In a sense, it's worse than the Côte d'Azur. After all, the Azure-5 mobile phone has also been sold to the North American market.

Luo Sheng said solemnly: "This is indeed quite nerve-racking. There are many things that can be done, but they are not satisfactory, and they may explode..."

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

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

Luo Sheng asked curiously: "Who? You mean Lianxiang? Just say this."

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

Mr. Ray?

Rebs?

Luo Sheng was stunned for a moment, but the executive continued: "Xiao Mi, I think it is very suitable, anyway, Xiao Mi's business has done almost everything, even the balance car, it's okay to have a theater chain to play, the outside world also It won't be an accident, the key is that Xiao Mi won't arouse Lao Mei's vigilance too much."

Zhang Bowen couldn't help laughing and said, "Hey, I said, don't pass that last sentence into Mr. Lei's ears, Mr. Lei will feel offended when he hears it, and maybe he won't cooperate with us."

The crowd laughed heartily.

Well, the company that has been named and cared for by Laomei this year is a manifestation of its recognition of its strength. This may be some kind of authoritative certification.
