I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

Chapter 821 The Ugly Words Come Ahead

In terms of propaganda, Concubine Han's press conference was a failure.

Apart from being able to confirm that Maochang had indeed acquired MGM, the reporter basically knew nothing about it—when it was acquired, how much it cost, how much time it took, and what difficulties it experienced...

Entrepreneurs love to tell stories.

A good story can also make money.

A cross-border acquisition, in the minds of many people, it is almost a gamble of Snake Tunxiang.

There must be a story in it.

Just like a warrior slaying a dragon for a princess, the princess must be beautiful, the dragon must be very evil, and the warrior must be very brave. The whole process is full of various dangers and twists and turns, so that the story will be wonderful.

But Concubine Han is obviously not a good storyteller.

Although she is in charge of Maochang's front-end business department that produces online literature, comics and other content.

However, as far as the news is concerned, this is enough to break the news.

Compared with this, Jack Ma spent a little money to shoot Gong Shou Dao is simply low.

There are two key points of discussion.

One is that our Chinese company actually bought a Hollywood film company.

Of course, Cat Factory is not the first to buy a Hollywood studio.

Yida's US$3.5 billion acquisition of Legendary Films was also a sensation back then.

It's a pity that two big movies have lost money in a row. Warcraft spent 160 million US dollars to shoot, and the North American box office was only 47.08 million US dollars. Even if China contributed 221 million US dollars to the box office, it would still have a loss of at least 15 million US dollars.

White is busy.

And the following The Great Wall was even worse.

Since the main market is still the mainland, there is no need to list more data on how miserable it is.

Even so, Maochang's acquisition of the Hollywood film company MGM still made the keyboard warriors unable to control themselves with excitement.

Besides, how does Legendary Pictures compare with MGM?

I don't even look at those novels that write entertainment articles, who the hell buys Legendary Pictures, they all go to MGM, okay?

MGM is one of the most prestigious film companies in Hollywood and a symbol of MGM films and Hollywood.

Let's not mention any of the male stars. The two goddesses Garbo and Hepburn alone are enough to drive the keyboard warriors crazy.

The films produced by MGM have won a total of 170 Oscars so far, ranking first among the major Hollywood film companies.

The acquisition of MGM is simply the acquisition of the entire Hollywood.

Compared with MGM, Legendary Pictures is a younger brother, a scumbag, not even Mao.

And another topic is how much it will cost to acquire this thing.

Various analysis posts will come out soon.

Some say eight billion U.S. dollars, some say ten billion U.S. dollars, and some even say thirty billion U.S. dollars.

All kinds of things, all look professional.

The more you don’t talk about the cat factory, the more people guess, thinking that the cat factory is probably too expensive to buy, and you are too embarrassed to speak up.

After the ten-minute press conference ended.

Instead of meeting the fabled boss, Mary Parent and Gary Barber were involved in a high-level meeting.

Shi Shanshan, Chen Xiaoman, Pei Qianlong, Qin Beier, Qin Baoer, Concubine Han, Du Qixi and Qian Na attended.

This project is led by Mr. Pei, so I'll leave it to Mr. Pei, and I'll be in charge of the translation. Shi Shanshan, the CEO of Tangtang Cat Factory, has no self-confessed identity.

Mary Parent and Gary Barber were amazed at the vibe at the top of the Cat Factory.

Moreover, these senior executives all look very young.

There are two more of the same length.

These two are exactly the same and should not be underestimated, they are not vases.

One is in charge of China's fourth largest video website, and the other is in charge of China's most outstanding distribution channel.

The director who looks very old but is said to be born in the 1990s once won the Best Director Award at the Venice International Film Festival. In fact, several of his films have been watched by two Hollywood producers.

After all, literary and artistic films can counterattack like this, and they can indeed be analyzed by filmmakers.

Qian Na is the person in charge of the artist management department of Maochang. If there is no accident, she will also become the person who has the most dealings with MGM in the future.

The person who attracted the attention of these two the most was the Vice President of Group Strategy of Cat Factory.

It is said that this person led the takeover battle this time, taking one of the former eight major film companies under its banner for only 6.2 billion U.S. dollars, and the means are shocking.

You two don't need to be nervous. The development of the company depends on the two of you. However, there are some things that I like to clarify in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble later. Pei Qianlong began to preside over the meeting.

The two crooked nuts immediately became nervous after Shi Shanshan translated.

Uncle, you've said all the ugly things before, but you actually told us not to be nervous.

Haha, just kidding, come on, Sima Yier~ Pei Qianlong made a clumsy joke.

Shi Shanshan held back her laughter and translated it.

Sir, please allow us to listen to the joke later, we are eager to know the future of MGM. Mary Parent could not hold her breath.

Let's put it this way, I expect Mr. Gary Barber to control the overall situation for us and smooth out Hollywood's relationship. At the same time, I expect Mary Parent to manage the company's specific affairs and ensure that all aspects can be implemented according to plan. Pei Qianlong said .

This is expected. These two people have a clear understanding of themselves.

Gary Barber is already old, and he is a bit powerless to let him manage the company. If he is asked to use his personal connections to ensure MGM's status and attributes in Hollywood, he will be more relaxed.

And Mary Parent clearly has more responsibility.

We don't care about personnel matters, but in terms of finance and legal affairs, we will send people in. Anything that enriches our own pockets is not allowed to happen. After all, we will not treat anyone who is serious about doing things badly. 10% of the total profit will be distributed as welfare. This It was agreed early on, and the two executors of the company's goals can participate in the investment of the project in their own names.

Eunuch Pei asked Lin Dong for instructions. In addition to giving 10% of the profit, Lin Dong also decided to let the two executives enjoy the treatment of investors.

Shi Shanshan translated, and both of them nodded sharply.

Since both of you have no objection, let's deal with another very important matter, very important, Mr. Du... Pei Qianlong signaled Du Qixi to start.

Then Du Qixi turned on the video playback equipment in the conference room.

Mary Parent and Gary Barber didn't know why, but watched patiently.

As soon as the video came up, the picture was very beautiful. The natural scenery was perfectly captured by high-end equipment, and after various types of natural scenery, feline creatures appeared one after another.

This should be a documentary.

The played version is an edited version.

After that, a thing they were familiar with but very strange came out.

Meow!
