Chapter 1061： Fan economy

"I have let people investigate carefully, and neither of those two projects are of war epic type."

In the office, Jim Pross said to James Murdoch: "The Martian is a science fiction film started by Ridley Scott, and The Doomsday is the type of disaster that Roland Emmerich is better at. "

James Murdoch thoughtfully: "It seems that Ronan Anderson has also realized that the epic type currently has a greater risk."

Jim Prolos immediately answered: "The director may also have a problem. Ridley Scott and Roland Emmerich are clearly past their peak. These two projects..."

James Murdoch waved his hand: "Several project failures, even large production projects, 20th Century Fox can withstand, there will be no major problems with Relativity Entertainment, we still pay attention to ourselves."

Like many things he did in the UK, James Murdoch never thought of defeating Relativity entertainment in movies and TV.

This is Ronan Anderson's best field, and fools will directly collide with him in this area.

"War is not only on the front." James Murdoch said slowly: "There are also places that you can't see behind."

Jim Prolos is an absolute confidant of James Murdoch. He understood what he meant, thought about it, and reminded: "There is no stalemate on the front battlefield, and there will be no room for operation on the back battlefield."

James Murdoch lightly patted the arm of the chair: "We still have to wait for the opportunity."

This opportunity is not only to create, but also depends on its own situation. Jim Prolos thought of the strategy of the group company, and finally couldn’t bear it. He asked the question that he cared most during this period: “Why Time Warner and Warner Bros. Relativity entertainment?"

"This is a decision made by my father." James Murdoch is not stupid. Rupert Murdoch's support is the key to the situation where he is in power today, even if he does not agree with Rupert Murdoch in his heart. K’s decision will not be stupid enough to strongly oppose it. He emphatically reminded: "Twentieth Century Fox wants power to cooperate with News Corp."

Jim Prolos assured: "I will." He tentatively asked: "Didn't Warner Group publicly reject the group company's offer? Continue?"

James Murdoch said: "Father's decision will not be changed easily."

"Then we..." Jim Prolos looked at James Murdoch: "Where are we?"

James Murdoch did not have any anxiety or anxiety, and said: "We do our best. The group company is mobilizing resources because of Warner’s acquisition. This is not a good condition for us. If there is a problem on Warner’s side, the concentrated resources You can transfer the target as soon as possible."

"I see." Jim Prolos thought of something: "Something went wrong with Lehman Brothers. There is no guarantee that the third loan will be in place this year."

James Murdoch stood on the shoulders of the giants of News Corporation and the Murdoch family and knew a lot, saying: "Wall Street has encountered some difficulties, temporarily, Lehman Brothers has temporarily cut off funds."

Although the two companies are partners, Lehman Brothers is in trouble, which is not necessarily a bad thing for Twentieth Century Fox.

Relativity Building.

"I am going to New York this afternoon." Robert Iger came to see Ronan and asked, "Do you have anything else?"

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Marvel Entertainment is on the right track and there is not much attention. Wall Street seems to be a bit unusual, Bob, go check it out and maintain communication with Goldman Sachs and other companies. Also, pay more attention to it. Lehman Brothers."

Robert Iger said: "This time I mainly go to Wall Street."

Ronan said: "I have a few thoughts about Lehman Brothers, have you read it?"

"I have seen it." Robert Iger said directly: "It depends on the specific situation. After all, Lehman Brothers is one of the four major investment banks..."

Ronan nodded slightly and said, "It's best to prepare in advance. If we have the opportunity, we can seize it in time. There is really no chance, and we don't force it."

Robert Iger replied: "Don't worry." He was about to leave, and said: "The business investigation team sent to the East heard news that the contact with Qianlu Group is generally good. They are determined to invest in the film and television entertainment industry. Currently, the market there is rapidly building an urban commercial complex and supporting theaters, and is also preparing to build a brand-new film and television industry base."

Ronan said with a smile: "The greater their determination, the better for our future."

"Yes, they are very rich." As if thinking of some current conditions in North America, Robert Iger was quite emotional: "The real estate industry is crazy."

He turned back the offending topic: "That Mr. Lin will come to Los Angeles again next year. Will they make up their minds? It is estimated that there will be a result by then."

Ronan said, "Keep in touch with them."

Robert Iger didn't wait much, chatted a few words about the strategic level of the plan, and quickly left Ronan's office.

Afterwards, Ronan specifically learned about the situation on the other side of the Pacific.

Qianlu Group is in a period of rapid expansion. It frequently acquires land and commercial complex in Shangma City. It is quite strong and has a deep background.

can develop to this stage, certainly not easy.

Fortunately, Ronan never thought about going to the partner on the other side of the Pacific. This is a normal business cooperation of mutual benefit.

Compared to other Hollywood companies, Relativity Entertainment is definitely a good company with a conscience in the market on the other side of the Pacific.

The most important point is that Ronan can be sure that he is really ready to invest in the film and entertainment industry, and the possibility of eventually reaching a cooperation is very high.

This former group company from the East, in the media, entertainment and sports industries all over the world, it was almost crazy to invest in buying, buying and buying, and it once set off a frenzy of acquisitions in North America and Europe.

However, with the emergence of certain irresistible factors, the company's final plan to build the so-called Oriental Hollywood film industry could only end in abortion.

But that was ten years later, and Ronan was also concerned about the other side of the Pacific. This situation will not happen in the short term.

Therefore, Ronan sees very clearly that even if a cooperation agreement can be reached with Qianlu Group, it is destined to be a short-term cooperation, and the two parties cannot become long-term partners.

Just entered October, as the time for next year's donkey and elephant fight is getting closer and closer, Hei Tan has become more active, and personally brought the formed team to Los Angeles, California.

This is a concentrated place for leftists and one of the base camps of the Saga Party. Hollywood has countless big-name stars who support the Saga Party.

Scarlett Johansson, George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Will Smith, etc.

These people will cheer for Hei Tan in various ways on different occasions.

As a public figure with a large number of fans, Hollywood stars are influential, and there are many people like George Clooney who want to take the road to Ronald Reagan's success.

In addition to a series of public activities, Hei Tan also visited the wealthy and celebrities in California one after another, and came to the Future World Manor to visit.

Ronan and Jessica Felton made special time to entertain the Heitan classmates and his wife in the manor.

Perhaps it was Ronan's influence, and he was also working hard. Even in the face of these political tasks, Jessica Felton was able to move forward and retreat freely and talked with Heitan's wife without being stage fright.

As for Ronan and classmates Hei Tan, none of the topics involved the donkey and elephant dispute next year, nor did they talk about any political or economic topics. The two sides talked about anecdotes like old friends.

The specific matters are naturally discussed by the company's public relations experts and the team of Heitan students.

It is enough for the two to show their attitude.

Hei Tan also invited Ronan and Jessica Felton to visit his home when they were in Washington.

The contact between the two parties in Los Angeles, this time.

Relativity Entertainment’s large-scale plan has been unfolded step by step. The income of the film and television business supported by the plan is directly related to success or failure.

Embassy Pictures promoted the release of film projects as planned.

On the first weekend of October, the movie version of "Hannah Montana" starring Taylor Swift was officially released.

This is a veritable fan movie, and the audience is very clear, that is, the audience of the "Hannah Montana" episode and the fans of Taylor SwiftUnexpectedly, such a A purely fan-oriented movie will have a staggering box office number on the premiere weekend.

Three days after the opening of the painting weekend, the movie version of "Hannah Montana" won $38.95 million in North America.

This number, on the one hand, illustrates the success of the drama version, on the other hand, it also represents the great appeal of Taylor Swift.

It is no exaggeration to say that after "Little Pig Page", "Hannah Montana" and country singers, Taylor Swift has become the veritable most popular youth idol in the United States.

This is a good thing, and there are also huge hidden dangers.

If it is replaced by someone else, Relativity Entertainment will inevitably increase its popularity and overdraft Taylor Swift in order to maximize benefits.

But her father, after all, is one of the backbone and top management of Ronan, a huge interest group.

Therefore, under Ronan's instruction, Big Machine Records and Shahai Entertainment both talked with Taylor Swift about the future transformation.

Maybe Taylor Swift has problems like this, but she is definitely a very smart girl, and all the past proves that she knows how to cooperate with the company's various plans.

Youth idols have a shelf life. If you are not careful, this shelf life will be shortened quickly. Like Walt Disney, many popular youth idols have been created before the shelf life arrives to maximize their benefits.

This kind of overdraft consumption of the fan economy undoubtedly makes the future of many youth idols extremely difficult.
