Post-shadow Development Plan

Little Murdoch looked impatient.

But it wasn't about Jim Ganopoulos, it was about his father.

News Corporation and [-]th Century Fox spent too much useless resources on Time Warner.

Although he successfully obtained a part of Warner's shares, it also aroused Warner's vigilance.

Now the two sides have been deadlocked on the issue of acquisitions, unable to advance or retreat.

But what is certain is that Time Warner is very resistant to this acquisition.

In fact, Warner was not the only one who resisted.

Originally, according to the old Murdoch's plan, the money in hand was enough.

Warner's ability to persist until now is not just one person resisting.

Many people who are unwilling to see a super large media group have contributed.

It even includes Washington.

The news media is the main throat, and the government will never want an uncontrolled media empire to appear on its own soil.

In fact, judging from Murdoch Jr.'s own judgment, this acquisition must not be able to continue.

It's just that it's not easy for News Corporation to get out, after all, a large amount of the company's funds are temporarily tied up in Warner.

Coupled with the impact of the aftermath of the 08 financial crisis, News Corporation and Fox can really be said to be stealing chickens and losing money.

Twentieth Century Fox in particular, has diverted funds to buy Warner stock, and its own film projects have failed one after another.

If it wasn't for the big sale of "Avatar" that made him breathe a sigh of relief, he would probably be called upon by the bank now.

Although it has not yet reached the point where the capital chain is completely GG, the successive failures have already had a serious impact on Fox.

[I hope that the next project can be profitable normally. 】

Because of spending too much money last year, the movies released by Fox this year are basically low-cost.

Even if you lose, you can't lose much.

The only exception is "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" directed by Guy Ritchie.

If this legendary epic production, which cost Fox 1 million US dollars, can succeed, then Fox will definitely have a better time in the next period of time.

But if it fails...

Little Murdoch didn't dare to think about the possibility of failure. This movie was completely created by himself.

And it was an item snatched from that woman in Jiufeng Ziyuan.

If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

According to the current test screening feedback, the movie is not bad overall.

Although it is not the multi-line narrative style that Guy Ritchie is best at, the ghost director has continued his own style.

With a large investment and numerous special effects scenes, there is absolutely no reason to fail.

But just in case...

"Jim, you asked the post-production department to find a way to process "Legend of the Holy Sword" in post-production 3D."

Now that the 3D trend is so hot, using 3D gimmicks should be able to win over a group of people.

Jim replied hesitantly: "But the movie didn't take 3D into account from the very beginning, so the effect of post-transformation will be very poor..."

"It's okay, anyway, as long as there is a 3D gimmick, that's enough."

The little Murdoch said casually: "Isn't the Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" next door doing the same thing?"

"I see."

Jim didn't protest.

Following the trend has never been a problem in Hollywood, as long as it works well.

"Then how much should we charge for Lucasfilm?" Jim returned to the topic just now, "It's hard for us to compete with Eagle Peak."

The little Murdoch gritted his teeth and said, "It's a high price. In short, squeeze Jiufeng out first."

"Um...the problem is that we don't have that much money."

Although Jim Ganopoulos didn't know how much Jiufeng offered, he still understood the value of Lucasfilm itself.

"Get people out of the game, how much we give after that is not up to us?"

A gleam flashed in Little Murdoch's eyes when he said this.

"But there is a contract agreement..."

"It doesn't matter, I will let them take the initiative to lower the money at that time."

As he spoke, Little Murdoch turned his head to look at the one from the New York Post.

"Within two months you've got to have a major George Lucas scandal."

Talking about what little Murdoch remembered.
