In the summer, the practice of Xia Xue and his sister dismembering Universal Pictures has suffered a lot of doubts in the United States.

Because Universal Pictures was founded in 1912, it has a long history of 83 years. It has released countless classic films, such as "No War on the West Front", "Spartacus", "American Painting", "Jaws", "Back to the Future", etc.

Its works have deeply influenced generations of Americans, so it is not only one of the six major Hollywood giants, but also a memory of generations of Americans.

Now, the company has been dismembered by the Xia brothers and sisters from Hong Kong, which naturally makes many Americans very dissatisfied. It is really hateful that they have brutally trampled on the memories of Americans with the help of capital.

Therefore, many people jumped out and called on the government to stop this transaction and avoid companies like Universal Pictures falling into fragmented fate.

However, despite their protests, they were useless in the end, and the transaction was successfully carried out.

Not to mention Xia Tian, ​​Xia Xue and her close relationship with the Republican and Democratic Party of the United States, nor to mention that this acquisition was guided by the lawyers and was completely in compliance with the norms. It has happened more than once just about the dismemberment of the Hollywood giant.

In the 1980s, after Ted Turner, president of Turner Broadcasting, bought MGM from Italian gambling king Kirk Kirkirian, he left the film library and sold all the other assets back to Kirkirian.

Earlier, after Twentieth Century Fox was acquired by private investor Marvin Davis, it also cut its assets.

In fact, in the United States, it is normal to cut assets after acquiring a company, keep high-quality assets and sell inferior assets.

After all, for capital, profit is the first factor, so you can walk faster than others by lightweight equipment.

...

Xia Xue’s Snow Media and CBS all focus on building channels, striving to allow people from all over the world to watch their own channels.

To this end, Snow Media has cooperated around the world and signed agreements with local cable TV providers to enable its channels to enter the local market. It even rented satellites to spread its TV signals to all parts of the world.

Today, Snow Media has entered more than 90 countries and regions in North and South America, Europe, Australia, Africa, Australia, Asia and other places, covering more than 1.5 billion users, making it one of the world's largest cable TV companies.

But Snow Media or CBS are not good at producing content. They all work with other film and television companies to buy shows from them to play, such as movies, dramas, variety shows, etc.

Even if Universal Pictures is barely kept, the movies, dramas, variety shows and box office ratings may not be high due to lack of relevant experience.

In this way, Universal Pictures will not only not bring profits to Snow Media and CBS, but will instead cause huge losses to them.

After Panasonic bought Universal Pictures, due to lack of relevant experience, Panasonic lost more than one billion US dollars in more than four years. Snow Media and CBS are naturally not inferior.

So instead of staying to lose money, it is better to leave the library and package other assets and sell them to Xiatian.

In this way, he not only lost his burden, but also earned $5.8 billion, which was equivalent to winning Universal Pictures’ huge film library for only $900 million and getting a big advantage.

Therefore, after the transaction was completed, Snow Media's stock price rose by 20%.

...

In the summer, it won $5.8 billion in most of Universal Pictures' assets, but in fact, this deal is relatively cost-effective.

Panasonic has been in charge of Universal for more than four years and has lost more than one billion US dollars. That is because they lack experience and have suffered huge losses in the movies they invested in, which has caused huge losses.

Panasonic's huge losses have also made many buyers interested in the world retreat, fearing that they will repeat Panasonic's mistakes.

These assets are burdens to others, but in summer they are valuable assets. He knows which movies make money and which movies cannot make money. So he will lead Universal Pictures out of the dilemma quickly.

Moreover, the acquisition of Universal Pictures has strengthened the strength of Tianxia Production. Although Tianxia Production is also known as a small giant, its annual box office revenue even exceeds that of giants like Fox and Universal, it still lacks in production, distribution, etc. compared to real giants.

After receiving Universal Pictures, the production and distribution capabilities of Tianxia Production were greatly enhanced, which is of great benefit to the quality of Tianxia Production film and television series.

...

After receiving a large amount of Universal Pictures' assets in the summer, it also underwent a merger and reorganization.

On the one hand, it broke up all departments of Universal Pictures and MCA TV Group and merged with Tianxia Production.

The reason why the independence of Universal Pictures, MCA TV and other companies was not retained is because Xia Tian did not have the energy to take into account the two companies at the same time, so after the merger, it would be easier for him to manage it.

On the one hand, merger of mca record company with Columbia record company. In this way, the two records join forces to become the world's largest record company, which is beneficial to both companies.

In addition, Putuman Books, for example, also merged its business with Marvel's publishing companies, and theaters are also managed by the distribution department of Tianxia Production.

After the merger and reorganization, Tianxia Production has digested assets such as Universal Pictures, MCA TV Group, and Putuman Publishing Company on the surface. However, to truly absorb and integrate them, it may take a long period of running-in period.

Xia Tian was mentally prepared for this, so he did not expect to complete it in one go.

After the merger, Xia Tian did not wipe Universal Pictures out of its history, but instead retained the Universal brand.

In the future, movies produced by the world will also be released as Universal. After all, Universal Pictures has become famous for decades and has a high status in the hearts of movie fans. If the movies are named after their box office, they will sell more.

After the merger of mca record and Columbia record, mca's label will also be retained. The reason is the same.

In addition, in summer, Universal Studios is intended to build a Disney-like park. At present, there are four Disney parks around the world, located in Los Angeles, Orlando, Tokyo and Paris. In the future, Disneyland will also be opened to Hong Kong and Shanghai Stock Exchanges.

Universal Studios now has only two, located in Los Angeles and Orlando, respectively. Compared with Disney, Universal Studios also lacks representative characters.
