Mission Liu Shenhao Chapter 155 Three Scripts

In 1984, the media tycoon and newspaper tycoon in Turkey and Australia bought 20th Century Fox from Marvin Davis, turning the nearly bankrupt 20th Century Fox into a subsidiary of his own News Corporation.

Journalism made Merck famous. Entering the entertainment industry has made Merck truly the richest in the world.

According to our Chinese understanding, this is a typical conversion of name and reality.

In the Western world, before the rise of social networking on the Internet, newspapers and television had a great say in the field of public opinion.

Note that the old man is Jewish. Tuao has always been the younger brother of the United States, and is considered to belong to the Angsa branch by default. Otherwise, this person simply cannot build a so-called media empire in the Western world.

Suppose, if Cao Su wants to break into Angsa's public opinion system and try to master slightly larger TV stations, newspapers, and major Hollywood production companies, the issue of identity alone will not be able to pass the test. Will definitely be checked! You know this with your toes.

But mastering public opinion doesn't mean having money. This also requires conversion and wealth accumulation.

On June 28, 2013, under pressure from investors, Merck split News Corp. into 21st Century Fox, with the part focusing on developing the film and television business, and the rest as the new News Corp.

At this time, 21st Century Fox's operations included 20th Century Fox Films, Fox Television, regional sports stations, cable channels, and international assets.

After the split, the Murdoch family owns about 17% of the Hollywood giant 21st Century Fox.

In terms of A shares, this shareholding ratio is too low. However, for a listed company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars in the United States, this shareholding ratio is not low. Some families hold 5% of the shares, but they control the board of directors and management rights.

The Merck Do family firmly controls the Fox.

…

The producer of 20th Century Fox who came to the door was Jeremy Keppel. Its status in Fox's production division doesn't look too high either. Otherwise, he wouldn't have personally come to "fudge" Cao Su.

The meeting place was in an office the Cactus Company leased in downtown Hollywood. This is an old building with 5 floors.

The Cactus Company is located on the third floor. The office area is about 100 square meters. According to the original layout, there are office areas, the boss's office, meeting rooms, and pantries.

Act as the clerk at the front desk to bring coffee in, then exit.

Cao Su looked at the white man in his fifties. He looked energetic and well-kept. He was about 1.75 meters tall, with a conspicuous aquiline nose and gray hair on his temples.

He brought three selected plays.

Two science fiction themes, one espionage theme. This spy theme obviously wants to lean on 007. But the protagonist is set as a woman, and it is the way of Long Ge's comedy and action films.

Cao Su worked in U.S. stocks for a week with $12 million. The market was closed for one day on Thanksgiving and two days on weekends. During the four-day operation, he made a total of 85% of the profits in the U.S. stocks.

Under the circuit breaker mechanism of U.S. stocks, the highest gain on the day was 30%, and the highest drop was 20%. The expert-level stock trading level is still very powerful, with a profit of 10.2 million US dollars. Moreover, the US stock market is the operating mechanism of T+0.

Buy anytime, sell anytime. Unless it hits the stock fuse.

Of course, there are limits to this skill. First, he cannot add leverage. The explanation provided by the Xiaopo system is that increasing the leverage will magnify the greed and fear of human nature and reduce the success rate of skills.

Second, to make money from stocks or not to make money from futures!

Today is Wednesday, Cao Su pulled out 4.5 million US dollars in the stock market and directly used the [Project Detector] to scan three scripts. One scan costs 10 million dollars.

Seeing the Chinese man in front of him put down the script in his hand, he waited for about half an hour and explained aloud: "Mr. Cao, science fiction and comedy films are the favorites of North American fans, and they are easy to hit the box office. So I picked out three scripts like this..."

Cao Su put the script on the desk, picked up the coffee cup, and asked inexplicably, "Mr. Keppel, it stands to reason that 20th Century Fox is one of the six major Hollywood film companies, since you are optimistic about these projects, Why do you still want to invest with me?"

A profitable business, why let others take a bite?

He always thought it was five. At present, it is actually six major movie giants that dominate Hollywood: Fox, Disney, Universal, Warner, Sony-Columbia, Paramount.

Jeremy Keppel said with a wry smile: "Mr. Cao, there are two reasons. First, internal competition incentives. As one of the six major Hollywood giants, we internally write thousands of scripts every year. Competing for project funding. Fox, at most, produces less than 20 films a year.

Second, it involves a well-known Hollywood secret.

In Hollywood's current industrial chain of production, distribution, and projection, Hollywood film giants are often just behind-the-scenes investors in the actual production company, or only act as film distributors.

The secret of Hollywood's six monopoly Hollywood is not to monopolize content production, but to monopolize distribution! This is the core of the whole game!

Spielberg's DreamWorks failed to become the eighth-largest company in Hollywood because it did not master distribution channels. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Therefore, the current Hollywood giants do not focus on film production, but focus on film theme development, film budget financing, film distribution and marketing, and film work procurement. "

Cao Su understood what Jeremy Keppel meant. In fact, giants like Fox don't pay much attention to the production process. They themselves are doing the work of financing the film. So it is normal to go outside to pull investment.

This is an eye-opener for Cao Su. The movie giants don't value movie production. Can you imagine? No one had spoken to him about these things before.

Cao Su took a sip of coffee and pondered for a while, then asked, "Mr. Keppel, how do you monopolize distribution? Only cinema screens can monopolize it, right?"

What is a monopoly? Master the limited necessary resources.

Then there is the monopoly that generates excess profits!

Therefore, the monopoly of the distribution link, it sounds incredible! From the perspective of the entire film's industrial chain, it is the "show" link that is really suitable for monopoly!

The movie theater is mine, and I can play anyone's movie if I want. When there are sufficient film sources on the market, I only put my own films and my allies' films. This is a monopoly!

He read entertainment articles on the Internet, and the hegemonic foundation of all the protagonists' entertainment empires must be to control the theater chain. No longer controlled by people.

So, what's going on here?

Jeremy Keppel sat outside Cao Su's desk and explained: "Mr. Cao, this involves the history of Hollywood. If you don't mind, I will take some of your time to tell you about it."

Cao Su gestured for him to speak. +Bookmark+
