"The ridiculous MGM, the ridiculous Fengyu Holdings Group, the ridiculous Feng Yu."
"MGM was acquired by Fengyu Holdings Group and is destined to become a victim of capital."
"Is MGM signing an unknown director with a high salary a big gamble or a farce?"
"Fengyu Holdings Group has successively purchased MGM and AMC theaters. Is it really planning to attack the film and television industry in a big way?"
…
In the past few days, the media has been full of news about Fengyu Holdings, MGM, etc. Of course, there is also a lot of news about Kameda Masao, Ralph and others. Fengyu Holdings Group’s big move has been regarded as a big move that may change the pattern of Hollywood. event.
Sini Pictures was the first to jump out and start the mocking mode, claiming that it was very ridiculous for MGM to enter the arms of Fengyu Holdings Group, because Fengyu Holdings Group had no relevant experience at all.
They seem to have forgotten that when the Sony Group acquired Columbia Pictures, they did not have much experience. The little experience they had was that Sunnie owned shares in some small film companies in the island country.
However, at that time, Japanese capital was aggressively attacking the American market. Not only Sunny, but also companies such as Dongzhi and Songxia also entered the American film market. As a result, they were all tricked by Americans.
MGM immediately began to fight back, claiming that Sunny had sour grapes. It would be sad if MGM was acquired by Sunny through a leveraged buyout. Compared to Sunny Company, they believe in the strength of Fengyu Holding Group.
Following Disney, Warner, Universal, Paramount, 20th Century Focus (Fox) and other top film and television production companies, they all launched attacks on MGM. Some believed that this was an invasion of the American cultural market by Chinese capital, just like the original It’s the same as the capital invasion of island countries.
Some people also believe that the entry of capital giants into the film market will lead to the wrong path of high investment. This can be seen from the fact that MGM signed many directors at once and applied for multiple film projects at the same time.
With so many movies invested at the same time, can MGM film them? Are they planning to release more than three movies a year? And why such a high investment? For that "Avatar", there is actually a plan to invest more than 300 million US dollars. Isn't this crazy!
In order to shoot "Avatar", they actually wanted to acquire film special effects production companies such as Industrial Polishing. This style of directly throwing money at them has deeply hurt the fragile hearts of other film companies.
In fact, if possible, they would also like to directly invest money in this way to give others the feeling that our company is powerful, so that other competitors can only look up to them, and make those good producers, directors, and actors willing to cooperate with their company. , allowing them to leave other companies far behind.
It's a pity that they don't have so much money. If the investments of several other companies in the company are combined for a year, maybe they can have as much investment as MGM. Isn't MGM afraid that their investment will fail
Instead, they now hope that this is a smokescreen put out by Fengyu Holdings Group, just to resell MGM, theaters, etc., so that they will lose a competitor, a strong competitor.
Although this competitor is not to the level that makes them despair, it is still very powerful and they can't help but look up to it. Not only is the company powerful, but also the person at the helm of the company, Feng Yu, the richest man in the world.
Feng Yu's power seems to be inconspicuous, but the speed of Feng Yu's rise makes them look up to him. This is a man who even Bill Gates can only give in to. This is a man who became the world's leader at the age of thirty. The richest person is a person who makes money whatever he invests.
It seems that nothing in Fengyu Holdings Group’s original industry was new. Whether it is the Internet, hardware, retail, culture and entertainment, financial investment or other industries, it seems that those giants have already existed.
But Feng Yu was so miraculous, he found another world through the cracks, and it grew up and became the tallest tree in the forest.
This time, Feng Yu invested in the film and television industry, and his investment was much larger than before. He acted like he was not short of money from the beginning, which put great pressure on those companies.
…
"Boss, now other film companies, big and small, are discussing us. I don't think MGM's counterattack alone is enough. How about our Fengyu Holdings Group also speak out and warn those film and television companies?" Turtle Tian Zhengxiong said with a frown.
Feng Yu smiled nonchalantly: "Where is this? After we acquire Marvel, I think they will dance even more happily. But they can just dance, so that our MGM's exposure will be better." It will be higher, they are helping us promote it for free.”
It doesn’t cost any money, and it always makes headlines. The audience knows about it as soon as the movie project is started. What’s wrong with that? Sometimes even if you spend money, you may not get this effect.
The collective denunciation of those film companies just proves their guilty conscience and their weakness. A powerful person never bothers to talk, but expresses himself directly with actions.
"That's right, then let MGM continue to deal with them. But MGM's copyright is not worth selling. We have selected some classic movies and burned them into high-definition for sale, but the sales situation and performance It’s average. Although there is profit, the profit is too small.”
MGM spent US$5 billion to acquire it. Although it disposed of some other businesses and took the opportunity to get rid of some debts, the actual cost still exceeded US$8 billion. Now spending so much money to invest in movies means that if MGM cannot reach 10 billion U.S. dollars in revenue within three years, it will not be considered a profit. If it cannot pay off its debts within five years, it will really lose money. .
"Don't worry, hasn't the project for the 007 series already been approved? After this movie is released, the 007 series of movie discs will be driven by the sales volume. Aren't the sequels of The Terminator also in our hands? We won't also have the previous ones. Have you bought the high-definition disc copyright? This is also a huge amount of income."
"And when Marvel comes under our ownership, Marvel's comic movies alone will create super high profits for us every year. And you have to believe in Cameron's magic. Titanic set a box office record, but even more The scary thing is that the sales of their CDs and other peripheral products are no worse than the box office sales of movies, who would have thought?"
Feng Yuxin said that this does not include Cameron's interruption to launch a 3D version of Titanic. In the previous life, the global box office of this movie would have increased to more than 2.1 billion US dollars, and the sales of CDs and other peripheral products would have Reaching a breathtaking US$3.5 billion!
While the two were talking, Ralph knocked on the door and came in, telling Feng Yu some news that surprised Feng Yu.
