America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 249 248. "Operation Leo"

More than ten years later, when the Internet became increasingly developed, the door to information blockage opened.

As a result, a joke has spread, that is, Israel is the father of the United States and the Jews control the United States.

There is some truth to it, but it's not that absolute. It's still mainly about ridicule.

Because just like the United States is divided into two parties, the Jewish people are also divided into two major factions - Zionism and Diaspora.

Most of the Jews living in Israel are Zionists, and many ordinary Jews still follow Jewish teachings.

When it comes to the United States, it is Jewish diaspora. It has no interest in such things as restoration. The only connection between the two sides is that everyone is Jewish.

Diaspora likes to play with finance, public opinion, and Internet high technology, and is very resistant to Zionism, its half-brother who likes to engage in war.

After all, this is an era of global peace, and war is despised. When the time comes that your Zionism will be scolded, I will not be spared either.

But what is interesting and contradictory is that the military capital of Angsa in the United States is very supportive of Israel, and they are counting on their little dad to make war fortune.

Angsa Capital supports the Republican Party, that is, the Conservative Party, so Diaspora Jews support the Democratic Party, that is, the Liberal Party.

As far as the current United States is concerned, diaspora Jews are mainly concentrated in two major areas: finance and public opinion media.

Needless to say, finance, Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan, Goldman Sachs, Lehman and other banking and financial groups all have their big hands.

In terms of media, there are established newspapers such as The New York Times and Newsweek, as well as some television stations and entertainment news and other industries.

Generally speaking, the strength of Jews in the financial field far exceeds that in the field of media and public opinion.

Because times are developing and changing, the paper newspaper industry is declining rapidly and will soon exit the stage of history in less than three to five years.

Internet media is an emerging force, and the Jews cannot control it. Google, Yahoo, etc. are like mothers if they have breasts. They will help anyone who gives money and traffic. They are called mercenaries.

Compared with more than ten years later, the current control of Jewish capital over public opinion is much weaker, far from the level where future generations can block whoever they want.

Eric's opponents are just a few of these people. Together they are very strong, but they are still far from invincible.

As long as he defeats them this time or fights to the death, in the future in Hollywood, these people will have to bow their heads and avoid him when they see him.

The plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport. Eric did not go with everyone and left through a private passage.

This reduced a lot of trouble. Many reporters stayed there for a long time, but in the end they were in vain.

Bale, Theron, Nicole, Ken Watanabe

Nowadays, all the big-name actors and actresses, including Oscar-winning actors and actresses, are having difficulty. They have not found their target, so these paparazzi dispersed in a hurry.

Nicole smiled helplessly: "If it were before, we would have been asked questions for at least half an hour, and maybe even cause traffic jams."

Theron shook his head: "But now it's not in people's eyes. Everyone's attention is on Eric. I don't know if he's gone."

Everyone was silent. Ever since the two announcements were released yesterday, public opinion has exploded.

Especially in the Hollywood circle, stars big and small are curious, waiting, anxious, hesitant, and worried.

Several people received calls from friends, wanting to get inside information.

And they all kept silent. Nicole and Theron were pretending to be confused. Although the others were filming with Eric, this kind of thing was obviously beyond their capabilities.

The discussion online is equally intense.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on? What's going on with the Big Six and MGM? It seems like there's going to be a fight!"

"It doesn't seem like a fight is about to start, but it has already started. The statement can be issued, which proves that they have discussed it in private many times, but the result is definitely not satisfactory to both sides."

"I don't understand, what the hell is going on? Because of Mel Gibson? I admit that he is really talented, and I also like 'Braveheart'."

"But he is just a middle-aged rough man. Why did he become Helen? Are the Sixth University and MGM going to launch the Trojan War for him?"

"Hahahaha. This metaphor is really vivid and vivid. Mel Gibson is Helen, the six major companies are like the Greek coalition led by Agamemnon and Menelaus, and MGM is like the Greek army that has been besieged for ten years. Troy."

"Ten years? Don't be kidding. Troy can survive ten years without being breached, because that's a fairy tale. If there is a war with the Big Six, whether MGM can survive for one year is a question, because we are in the real world. "

"Agree! I bet MGM will retract the statement within three days. Eric Cooper is too young and thinks of himself too highly. This statement is like a crime of passion. He will regret it immediately after he wakes up. , and then retracted the apology."

"Eric Cooper is crazy for shielding Mel Gibson, a racist who must also be an anti-Semite."

"I identified the people above as radical Jews. You always like to hit others with a moral stick, but you never reflect on your own atrocities in the Middle East. You stand on the high mountain of morality all day long. Don't you feel cold?"

"The Jews use World War II as an excuse to disguise themselves as victims, as if the whole world owes you, but only the mustaches and Germans owe you, and no other countries or nations owe you."

"I hate people with double standards the most, disgusting!"

"I feel that everyone has made a mistake. MGM is developing very well. Why do you think that once the war starts, the Big Six will crush MGM? Couldn't it be that MGM can break through and dominate Hollywood? ?”

"Haha. The Internet is definitely a gathering place for fools. Just look at the stock price of MGM. Ever since that arrogant Eric Cooper made his statement, its stock price has been falling. It has now dropped by almost 5 %, this is a lesson for this self-righteous young man!”

"Perhaps there is little hope, but don't forget that this is Hollywood, a place rich in movie dreams. The weak protagonist in the movie can always defeat the powerful enemy. The audience also likes this kind of plot. Anyway, I really hope to see Michael Prune crawls on them!”

"Yes, I hope so too!"

"Me too."

"Just do it!"

Just when everyone was waiting for their meal, the heads of the six major companies also gathered at the mansion of Disney CEO Michael Ainas.

"I'm a little confused. Is the world changing too fast? Or are children too confident in themselves?" Warner CEO Barry Meyer said with a funny face.

Sony CEO Howard Stringer sneered. He really didn't expect that the opportunity for revenge would come so soon.

I was blamed and made a fool of myself because of Michael Jackson's incident, and I must let the other party feel this way this time.

"Gentlemen, let's talk about your opinions. Many people are watching. Eric Cooper is clearly against us. What should we do?"

The old Bidens looked at each other, and Paramount CEO Brad Gray looked hesitant. He is the youngest of the six, only 46 years old this year.

There is no grudge between Paramount and MGM, and the "Transformers" copyright dispute is just a normal business behavior in his opinion, so he is not very willing to get involved in this fight.

Moreover, Paramount has been having a hard time in the past few years. It only has one big IP, "Mission: Impossible", to support the show, and it is at the bottom among the seven major companies.

So Brad Gray doesn't want to or has the energy to do these things. What he needs to do most now is to revitalize the company.

"I think we should contact Charlie Cooper. Children are immature, but he is an experienced helmsman. Just let him take care of his son."

Hearing this, Howard Stringer smiled and said, "Brad, when did you become an indecisive person? This is not like the you I know."

"You can fire hundreds of employees at once, and they also have children. You don't give these people a chance."

"And Charlie Cooper has officially announced his retirement. He can't control Eric Cooper. Everyone can see this."

After being scolded, Brad Gray also said in a sinister manner: "You're right, otherwise I wouldn't have let Eric Cooper do what he did, which caused Sony's stock price to plummet by 8 billion, leaving many people disgraced and embarrassed."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. MGM's stock price has only dropped 5% now. How can it compare with Sony?"

The scar was torn open, Howard Stringer immediately glared at each other, while the other three sat and watched the fun.

Seeing this, Michael Ainas hurriedly stood up to stop us. We are here to deal with others, not to engage in internal strife, although the six of us also have our own conflicts.

"Brad, Howard, we are here to discuss how to deal with MGM, not to quarrel."

"I hope everyone can come together and bring MGM down, which will be good for all of us."

"At least there will be one less competitor in the market. You have also seen how strong this lion has been for more than a year."

"Brad, I know you are encountering difficulties now. As long as you cooperate well, Disney will lend you a sum of money."

"when?"

"immediately!"

"Okay, then I have no objection." After receiving the practical promise, Brad Gray spread his hands.

Michael Ainas nodded: "Okay, let's all express our opinions. Since Eric Cooper is going to compete with us, as an elder, it's time to teach him a lesson."

"Michael, you can give me a lesson, but I hope you won't use force. I know you have a lot of connections."

"Of course, we are now a civilized society, and barbaric behavior is no longer in line with our identity, isn't it?"

"It's best to do this. Just attack the Cooper boys commercially. Don't forget that Charlie Cooper can also call people from the casino. Reciprocal harm is not advisable."

"Well, this is also my idea. Let me just make a simple suggestion. Since we want to deal with Eric Cooper, the best way is to defeat his company."

"My idea is very simple, which is to gather everyone's strength to launch a joint sniper attack on MGM, and attack every movie and TV series produced by MGM."

"Everyone brings out their own trump cards. We need to reschedule. We will definitely suffer some losses in the process, but everything is worth it."

"This battle is related to the honor and majesty of our six major companies. I hope everyone can cooperate seriously!"

Hearing that joint sniping was going to be used, the other five people nodded secretly in anticipation.

Generally speaking, the competition between film companies is to snipe each other's works, especially the A-level productions that the other party has carefully prepared and spent a lot of money on.

The specific operation is to put your own trump card IP in the same schedule as the opponent's and defeat the opponent at the box office.

When two movies are in the same schedule, the audience will naturally face a choice. Many people will not watch both movies at the same time, but choose one of them.

Then the audience will consider various aspects such as the movie's subject matter, special effects, and reputation. This involves a lot of manipulation, such as paying off film critics and the media to slander the opponent.

But this approach will also face problems, that is, the box office potential of the schedule is very high, and two major productions cannot reach the capacity limit.

This is related to the overall economic strength of the country, especially the economic strength of the United States, which is still the first in the world.

For example, the box office limit in July is US$3 billion. MGM has a big production, and Disney has a big production. Both movies are expected to have a box office of 500 million.

As a result, even if there are other small company films competing, the huge potential is still enough to satisfy both MGM and Disney.

In this case, even if the purpose of sniping can be achieved, the effect will be limited.

And what should we do if we want to achieve the sniper effect? Naturally, I would invite a few more allies to snipe together.

If two movies are not enough, seven major companies will come together, and seven blockbusters will be squeezed into one schedule to compete. What will be the result?

There is a high probability that no one will make money or lose money. In this way, the purpose of sniping will be achieved. In short, it will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and damage yourself by 800.

However, MGM is only one company, while the Big Six are joining forces.

The former requires constant fighting, but the latter is a wheel battle, and it is clear who has the advantage.

The happiest thing in the process is the audience, who will enjoy a gluttonous feast.

"Barry, what do you think?" Michael Inners looked at Barry Meyer.

Barry Meyer nodded slightly: "I have no objection."

"Howard?"

"No comment"

"Brad?"

"I don't have any objection either."

"Railin?"

"That's what I thought too."

"Oliver?"

"I'll listen to you this time."

Michael Ainas smiled: "Okay, that's it, I'll name this plan "Operation Leo"!"

bell.

As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone started ringing. He picked it up and looked at it. It was his secretary.

The phone call lasted for a long time. Michael Ainas looked confused at first, and then his expression suddenly changed after a while.

"Michael, what happened? You don't look good."

The old man frowned: "There is news again from MGM. It turns out that this is the reason why Eric Cooper wants to go to war with us."

"What? What are you talking about?"

Michael Inas turned on the TV and jumped to an outdoor program.

In New York, Times Square, Lionheart's advertisement is playing on the huge screen.

I saw a male lion running in the picture. It passed through the jungle, crossed the river, crossed the canyon, and finally rushed to the highest mountain, roaring shockingly at the vast sky!

"Roar for your dreams!"
