2429 [Situation Analysis]
"The Disguised Strange" starts filming, "The Jedi Men" starts filming, "The Speed of Life and Death", "A Dai and Agua", "The Time and Space Police", and "The Extreme Suspect" starts filming...
World production, Columbia Pictures has been fully launched recently, and many movies have started filming together, which shocked Hollywood.
Speaking of which, Hollywood now has the most popular operations, the company under Xiatian.
Among the six major films, Paramount was won by Viacom last year (in 1993).
Viacom is a giant in the American cable TV industry and the famous MTV Music Channel, which is its subsidiary. In his previous life, Viacom also acquired CBS CBS and became one of the most powerful media groups in the United States.
However, in this life, Xia Tian started early, so Viacom should not imagine that it would develop as smoothly as in the previous life. In addition, Xia Tian also snatched the Blockbuster Audio and Video chain store that should have been acquired by Viacom.
After Paramount was acquired by Viacom last year, several new movies have been released this year, but overall it is still in the recovery period. The several movies produced are not too exciting, and they can only be said to be just a loss.
Universal Pictures was acquired by Fuso's Panasonic Company in 1990.
Because Sony's previous investment in Columbia Pictures attracted a lot of firepower from the people across the United States, Panasonic faced much less resistance to acquiring Universal Pictures.
However, after Universal’s new owner was expensive, its development was still not very good. Panasonic’s people are good at making home appliances, but they know almost nothing about making movies. Many of the movies they have invested in have lost all their money, which made Panasonic wince.
In addition, the outbreak of the Fuso economic bubble has caused Panasonic to suffer heavy losses and its funding for Universal Pictures has also decreased a lot, which has caused Universal Pictures to decline even more in the past two years.
The "Jurassic Park" series, which was originally supposed to be produced by Universal Pictures, was also snatched away by Xia Tian in advance, resulting in the loss of the only two points of Universal Pictures.
After Fox Pictures was acquired by media tycoon Murdoch in 1984, its development did not improve much. Because Murdoch was not interested in Fox Pictures, but its several TV stations.
Based on these TV stations, Murdoch merged and acquired all the way, forming the fourth largest wireless TV network in the United States, Fox TV Channel, and becoming a tycoon in the American TV industry.
Compared with that, Fox Pictures has received much less resources, so it has not developed well over the years. In addition, many popular movies that should have been produced by it, such as the "Home Imperial" series, "Edward Scissor Hands", "Die Hard" series, etc., have been filmed first by Columbia Pictures, which has also made it more "malnutrition".
...
Among the six major Hollywood films, except for Columbia Pictures, the only two who are doing well are Warner and Disney.
Warner Pictures merged with Times Group in 1990 and joined forces. It has developed well in recent years. In particular, the comic-revised "Batman" series has been even more popular, making Michael Keaton famous, and also allowing Tim Burton to prove his talents.
However, despite this, Warner Pictures is still a little worse than Columbia Pictures. Moreover, the "Harry Potter" series that made Warner Pictures a fortune in the future has now been snatched away by the summer. It is basically impossible for Warner Pictures to make money with this little magician.
...
Disney is holding the cartoon, a wise treasure, and has achieved good box office revenues. "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", "The Lion King", etc.
Its old animation works are even more of a money-making tool. Not only are they re-released many times, but they also released commemorative versions of videos, vcds, etc. Because Americans have seen Disney animations since childhood and have a deep affection for it, they will not dislike Disney's rehearsal at all, but instead buy it.
From the 89th to 93rd, in just seven years, Disney earned $1.5 billion in single-selling videotapes, which is even better than Columbia Pictures.
You should know that Columbia Pictures has the advantage in sales because of the support of Blockbuster Audio and Video chain. Even so, it has never sold Disney, which shows how powerful these two-dimensional cartoon characters are.
Thanks to these two-dimensional characters, although Disney has not lived as glorious as Columbia Pictures in recent years, its life is also very comfortable.
However, the two magic weapons that will help Disney rise in the future, Pixar Animation Company and Marvel Studios, have now been bought by the summer.
Therefore, it is a question whether Disney can become Hollywood's largest giant like in its previous life.
In his previous life, Disney and Pixar collaborated with Pixar to successfully cross the gap between 2D animation and 3D animation, avoiding the decline caused by the rise of 3D animation. Moreover, Pixar's animation also brought high profits to Disney and laid the foundation for future expansion.
In 2009, Disney spent $4 billion to win Marvel Studios and successfully opened the Marvel Universe, laying the foundation for Disney's glory in the next ten years. The Marvel movies were launched at a rate of two to three a year, and each movie was able to achieve a good box office.
But now, both Pixar and Marvel are being bought in the summer. Whether Disney can catch up with the animation changes after losing Pixar; whether it can still dig out another treasure pot without Marvel, all this has become unknown.
...
Summer is still very optimistic about the future development of Columbia Pictures and Tianxia Production.
After all, with him here, it is difficult for both companies to lose money.
However, the only drawback is that the two companies are still two independent companies and do not belong to each other.
If two can be combined into one, not only will the strength be greatly increased, but the resources can also be shared, which is really a very good thing.
Although Tianxia Production has developed well in the past two years and has become a veritable giant in Hollywood, it has always lacked its foundation. Especially in the overseas market, it is still difficult to enter other markets except East Asia, and it still has to use other companies to release movies.
If it can be merged with Columbia Pictures, it can use its distribution channels. It will not only help to increase the domestic box office in the United States, but also help to increase the overseas box office.
Columbia Pictures can also get all the help of summer, rather than being basically in a state of letting go, like now.
However, if the two companies want to merge, one of the problems is Sony.
It is impossible to agree to the request of summer.
