Chapter 425 Raising the pole as a flag

If the film and television industry wants to subvert the tradition, it is difficult to be as pure as the Internet and high-tech industries.

Even the new concept of film and television is inseparable from the promotion of emerging technologies, such as 3D, giant screen, holographic projection, AR, multi-screen viewing, streaming media...

In short, technology is still the primary productive force!

imax and Dolby Laboratories are the future trends of film technology.

The imax company, which developed the high-definition giant screen, was born in 1967. After decades of development, it has cooperated with major theater chains and built more than 75 imax theaters in North America.

Headquartered in New York, the company was successfully listed on Nasdaq in 1994. The current share price is $1.03 and the market value is $64 million.

In comparison, it will be more difficult to acquire Dolby Laboratories, which is a private company.

Dolby Laboratories was founded in 1965 and is headquartered in San Francisco, mainly for the audio field, including Dolby Noise Reduction System and Dolby Surround Sound System.

Fortunately, Dr. Dolby is old and in poor health, so he must solve his death as soon as possible.

Because if Dolby is passed on to his son in the form of a private enterprise, according to the current laws of the United States, he will have to pay a huge inheritance tax!

So to solve this problem, Dolby has only two ways to go: first, sell the company; second, let the company go public.

Only cashed-out money or stocks can be passed on to future generations in the form of trust funds and charitable funds.

However, it is difficult for Dolby to go public in the short term, because the company has sufficient cash flow and no debt, which is a big problem. (The debt ratio is too low, and equity financing will make the financial structure more unreasonable, so it cannot be listed)

In short, imax and Dolby Laboratories have certain difficulties in acquisition, but as long as the price is in place, it is not a big problem.

"Universal Pictures Impossible!"

Bill McNick immediately vetoed.

Of course Dunn knew, he said with a smile: "Vivendi is booming now, of course they can't sell Universal Pictures, let's just spread the news to the federal government to reveal some signals, and by the way find out about the Vivendi Group's Mouth."

No country wants its media channels to be controlled by foreigners. Even Murdoch has become an American citizen.

Once the federal government confirms that Dunn wants to buy Universal Pictures, it will definitely give the green light.

In Dunn's original plan, he never planned to acquire imax and Dolby Laboratories, but since he has the goal of changing Hollywood, the technical side must be complete.

Anyway, the future prospects of these two companies are infinite.

If you can combine the imax giant screen and Dolby panoramic sound to launch a Dolby imax theater, it will be a real detached viewing experience!

Dunn is going to go out to the crew of "Chicago" that is being filmed at Fox Studios. When I see a paragraph about the new decoration on the first floor of the company, I feel that my whole body is full of energy!

"New order, new model, new power, new Hollywood!"

Change from now on!

"Chicago" has been filming for more than a month, because director Rob Marshall is a newcomer, and executive producer Kathleen Kennedy has been with the crew and is very busy.

As soon as she saw Tang En, she couldn't help complaining, "Big boss, I came to work at Rose Pictures, but I'm part-time! You've arranged too many jobs for me? From "Juno" to "Resident Evil" ", from "All the time" to "Chicago", I'm more tired than full-time!"

From the smile at the corner of her mouth, Tang En knew that she was satisfied with the status quo, but it was just American humor, and said with a smile: "Aren't you doubting my determination to promote women's rights? I just want to prove it to you! Also, you didn't get it. Any news? "Gone Lover" is also preparing for the project, and Rose Pictures is also responsible."

Kathleen Kennedy shook her head and said earnestly, "Dawn, I don't think this is the right decision. Rose Pictures... is just a small company, producing 23 films a year is enough, there is no need to overproduce. Promotion of women's rights , it takes time to accumulate, and it is too late."

Tang En said: "You should have heard of it? The company has put forward a new strategic slogan!"

"New order, new model, new power, new Hollywood, right?" Katherine Kennedy looked at him half-smile.

Dunn gave a thumbs up, "So, you should understand my ambition. The atmosphere of Hollywood...the oppression of women is too much, and I desperately want to change this situation."

Katherine Kennedy looked at him meaningfully, "If that's the case, you can't be merciful everywhere..."

Tang En said righteously: "Of course the overall situation is the most important!"

There was a bit of fun in my heart.

Even if men and women are equal, can it still affect him?

To put it 10,000 steps back, even if the status of women in Hollywood has been greatly improved, actresses refuse to devote themselves to their roles, and there are no unspoken deals.

Isn't there a model circle?

It was a dark sky there.

This will not affect Tang En's beautiful personal life at all, there are too many women who worship gold!

Especially in the United States, which advocates capital in a social environment.

Kathleen Kennedy pondered for a while, "The Gone Girl can be set up for the time being and will be filmed later in the year, and Rose Pictures should not be involved in too many films. One more thing, I think the work of Rose Pictures has already been for me. Equivalent to full-time.”

"Oh?"

Dunn's eyes lit up.

Kathleen Kennedy is now president of Rose Pictures, but she also serves as president of Kennedy-Marshall Films, the husband-and-wife production company.

"My husband and I have been talking on the phone for a long time these past few nights." Katherine Kennedy paused for a while, then looked up at Dunn, "We agreed that your ambition is also our goal!"

This time, Dunn is really excited.

Does this count as raising the bar as a flag, and answering all the calls?

Katherine Kennedy and her husband Frank Marshall are the top producers in Hollywood!

Tang En swallowed his saliva vigorously, "You and Mr. Marshall, are you going to join Tang En Pictures?"

"is it okay?"

"Yes! Of course you can!" Dunn slapped his hands, and immediately hesitated, "But... Katherine, I have no contact with Mr. Marshall, but I understand your talent. If it is full-time, it would be too much for you to be in charge of Rose Films. It's too condescending."

In terms of ability, Kathleen Kennedy is even better than Nina Jacobson, the president of Marvel Pictures, but managing a small Rose Pictures is a bit overkill.

Katherine Kennedy pulled her hair around her ear and smiled, "It's okay, as a woman, I prefer the mission of Rose Pictures."

Dunn nodded and said in a low voice: "Catherine, you should know that I made a lot of money in the stock market. I have transferred 7 billion US dollars to the account of Dunn Pictures, let's join forces, including Mr. Marshall, to do a Big deal!"

"$7 billion?"

Katherine Kennedy exclaimed, her face hard to hide in shock.

She and Steven Spielberg are good friends She knows that when DreamWorks was founded, the three giants were assembled, and Alan Paul was brought in to invest, and the total capital was only 1 billion US dollars. .

That's been a hit in Hollywood.

However, Tang En in front of him has even more aggressive means. Under the circumstance that Tang En Films has zero debt and a very high profit rate of return, it still brazenly injects 7 billion US dollars!

What does he want to do?

Katherine Kennedy's heart was beating wildly, this time, she was more convinced of Dunn's firm, decisive, fighting temperament and courage!

What DreamWorks can't do, maybe it really has to be done by Dunn Pictures!

Dunn patted her on the shoulder, "I said, I want to establish a new pattern and a new order in Hollywood. Believe me, you have made a very correct choice this time!"

Katherine Kennedy was heartbroken by what he said and took a deep breath, "Hollywood needs to change, DreamWorks failed, it doesn't mean that the mechanism of the past will be invincible!"

Dunn smiled and pouted in the direction of Catherine Zeta Jones who was dancing and acting earnestly in the distance, "What about her? What did you say recently?"

Katherine Kennedy also knew about Dunn and Kirk Douglas, and shook her head, "She has been acting seriously, and she never talks about family affairs."

As she spoke, she lowered her voice, "Actually, Mr. Michael Douglas is not bad and has a good reputation. He has come to visit the crew several times, and he has expressed his goodwill to you through me. It's old Douglas, he seems to be I misunderstood you."

"Misunderstanding?" The corner of Tang En's mouth was slightly raised, a little funny, "I'm afraid it wasn't a misunderstanding. I scolded him badly when I called him that time."

"what?"

Kathleen Kennedy was instantly pale.
