Chapter 1377 Merging MGM and Paramount
Although DreamWorks has decided to unify Hollywood now, I am not the only one. In fact, among these film companies, there are at least two film companies that I am not willing to do. That is MGM in Marskolov and Paramount in Adolf Chuck.
Since these two companies have chosen to be friends with our DreamWorks, they have been loyal to us and have never betrayed us. Even if they encounter extreme difficulties and the company is about to go bankrupt, the two old men have never frowned. I have always remembered their support for me over the years.
Malskolov is the one with the deepest relationship with me among so many film companies in Hollywood, and this has nothing to do with him as my father-in-law. In fact, since I was a young man, he has always supported me until now. Although Adolf Chuk, although he had a conflict with us at the beginning, he later became my hard-core support after joining our front. This old man with a hot temper is comparable to Malskolov, has always sighed at the friendship between DreamWorks.
So despite the idea of unifying Hollywood, and I believe that as long as we are willing, no Hollywood film company can escape the fate of being annexed, it is absolutely impossible for me to take action against these two film companies.
It was also for this reason that at the party that night, I didn't ask Gans to call the two of them. But I didn't expect that if I didn't look for them, they came to the door by themselves.
"Old Ma, look at what you said, but I never looked down on you. You see, you are very busy now." I laughed.
"Of course I know you're busy, not only that, but also what you're busy with." Marskolov looked at Adolfk, and the two of them smiled mysteriously, as if they had a sympathy.
"What are you two looking for me?" I lit a cigarette and looked at the two cute old men.
"Of course there is something big." Adolf Chuck leaned over and said, "Andre, I heard that you are going to take down Hollywood's film companies now and make Hollywood an organic whole, right?"
"It's true. To be honest, I'm doing this one night. Look at Dianhua, Columbia, 20th Century Fox... they were all taken down." I said, pulling my fingers, then raised my head and smiled at the two of them: "But don't worry, MGM and Paramount are absolutely impossible to be on our list."
I already understand the meaning of this. It is to tell them that MGM and Paramount can still show their own exhibitions and support and cooperate with DreamWorks. Just like before.
In this way, people like Kerry Kefeller dreamed of hearing it. But after these two old men heard what I said, their faces calmed down.
"Andre. Do you think you look down on me, the old man?" Marskolov said in a deep voice.
This old man's face was still as bright as before, and his eyes were covered with clouds.
"Old Ma. When did I look down on you? I said it just now." I grinned.
This old man's temper has never weakened.
"Then tell me why I just missed it?" asked Marskolov.
"This..." I was speechless. Others were afraid that they would be annexed, so this old guy came to me!? Lao Ma was burned?
I reached out and looked at Lao Ma's forehead. It didn't seem like a sign of burning.
"Take your paw away. I didn't burn it!" Marskolov yelled, and said to me, "Didn't you think you'd take us MGM?"
"Old Ma, you guy is so funny. Everyone is hiding far away, why do you come to the door and ask for annexation?" Coolidge next to him was almost laughing to death.
"Old Ma, Adolf, I am cleaning up the portal this time. You two support us so much, have always been our most loyal friends, and we will not attack you." I will tell the truth.
Marskolov looked at me and sighed: "Andre, I came to you today for this matter. I am old. Really, look at me. I used to be able to eat a cow for a meal, but now, even a cow hair can last me to death."
When Marskolov said these words, his expression was full of vicissitudes: "Andre, I have been in Hollywood for so many years. I have watched this place change my appearance bit by bit, and I have watched my film company grow stronger and stronger. I have seen the intrigue and the ups and downs of life. Now I am old, I don’t have the same spirit as I used to, nor have that experience."
"Old? Lao Ma, if anyone dares to say you are old, come and look for me. I will definitely beat that guy up to the point of being unable to find Bei." Gans swung his arm.
"You bastard, you call me Lao Ma now!" Marskolov's words made the room burst into laughter.
"Andre, during this period, Hollywood has encountered so many unpleasant things that have changed dramatically, and we, MGM, are also facing the verge of collapse. In this case, I still haven't given up and still stick to it. The fundamental reason is that I want to persist like this and wait for you to come out! My old bones are to watch you manage Hollywood well and become a movie holy place, so that the name Hollywood will last forever! So, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will persist, even if my MGM is destroyed!"
"Now, my persistence is successful
Here, DreamWorks is now so angry that Roosevelt's bastards will be punished for evil. My wish has come true, and now I am in my sixties and seventies. Go outside and see. People of my age on the street are not for walking and playing basketball. I should enjoy life well. I have lived for so many years, been tired for a lifetime, and suffered for a lifetime. Now I have to be happy." Marskolov said and laughed.
"But you gave up, what should I do if MGM?" I was dumbfounded.
"What should I do? I have to ask you this. Andrei, I'm going to hand over MGM to you to take care of." Marskolov took a sip of wine, very comfortable.
"Leave it to us to take care of it?" I swallowed. Did the horse's head be squeezed by the door? MGM's current assets are more than one billion yuan.
"Not bad. Leave it to you to take care of. I can't keep up with the times. GM can only have a better show in the hands of you young people. Don't say anything else, I've decided." Marskolov's attitude was firm and his tone was tough.
"But Andre, I have a condition." Marskolov pondered for a moment.
***, it seems that there is indeed a free lunch in the world, and there are conditions for it. But I am very happy if it is conditions.
"I'll take care of MGM for you, but it doesn't mean that MGM belongs to you." Marskolov paused and looked at our faces.
Gans and others were so happy that they were straightforward. They left it to us to take care of but it did not belong to us. Lao Ma was a typical teasing us.
Lao Ma seemed to realize what Gan and others were thinking, and then smiled and said, "You only have the right to manage MGM, and the owner of MGM is my grandson Adolfles Kolovlyon. Do you understand?"
"Hi!" Marskolov's words made Gans and others pat their thighs together.
"Old Ma, Adolf is the boss's son, and the family doesn't speak two people. Are you teasing us?" Gans hugged Lao Ma's shoulder and laughed.
"I'm very serious. MGM's owner must be Marskolov, he must be my grandson." Marskolov stared at me and smiled badly.
This old man made me not know what to say. But since he hoped to do this, I had no problem. I would first deal with MGM Adolf after he became an adult, so that at that time, this kid would not do anything to playboy.
"Okay. Lao Ma decided so." I nodded.
"That's all." Marskolov stretched and said, "I'll pack my luggage when I'm raising a bitch. I'm going to hunt in Africa. Calvin, do you think I'm better to buy a single-barrel hunting rifle or a double-barrel..."
After explaining the matter, Marskolov went to find Coolidge and whined.
"Spanking hunt! Binoculars and single tubes are not good. Isn't you another gun on your body?! What kind of trip to Africa? Africa can be so excited about this imperial hotel!? I'll find you a room, I'm finding you a girl, and let you shoot twice. You won't go to Africa if you don't go to Africa!" Coolidge, a bitch, is really getting more and more unfair.
"But my old gun hasn't fired for many years." Marskolov looked down at the legs.
"What does it mean to be old and firm? Don't you know? Listen to me, I will arrange it for you later. Beating a girl is much more satisfying than beating an African buffalo..."
...
Looking at the two old people, I was about to collapse. Who are these?
"Adolf, I have discussed with the board of directors. We will cooperate fully with you tomorrow. If you have any difficulties, just ask us and we will be satisfied." I looked at Adolfke sitting opposite me and spread my hands.
"Andre, cooperation is good, but I don't care about this." Adolfke scratched his bald head and grinned.
"What? You haven't cooperated with us?" I was shocked.
"Not what it means. I'm here tonight, but I'm not here to accompany Lao Ma to shoot. I'm going to have something to do with you." Adolf Chuck smiled and said, "Look, I'm so old. I'm even more exhausted during this period. Like Lao Ma, I want to enjoy the peace of mind."
"Why, you want to give up the ball too?" I understood what Adolfke meant. But a question immediately appeared in my mind, that is, Lao Ma gave up the ball because his grandson was my son, and there was no relative relationship between Adolfke and me.
"Andre, do you think this is OK? I will sell you 51% of Paramount's shares to you and make you the major shareholders of Paramount. And Paramount's future exhibitions will be left to you. I, the old man, accompanied Lao Ma to shoot... No, go hunting together, do you think it's OK?" Adolfke looked at me, and his face showed an indecent smile as much as Marskolov.
Looking at this old man, I was really amused and crying.
"Adolf, I don't understand if you want to, Paramount will get better and better in the future. I have always regarded Paramount as my own life. How could I choose to do this now?" I wondered.
"Andre, the reason is very simple, that is, I think Hollywood is different from the previous one. I used to run a film company, and there were two main reasons: one was that I really wanted to make some good movies, and the other was that I made money. Now, no one in Hollywood can surpass you in making movies and hand over the company to you, and I can definitely make money. In this way, I will hand over the company not only.
I hope that everything can be realized and I can enjoy the peace of mind, why not do it
Before Adolf Chuk finished speaking, Marskolov next to me hugged me on the shoulder: "Andre, you don't have so many concerns. This time we two old men are really serious, so you just agree to take us to do it."
"Boss, since Lao Ma and Adolf are so full of loyalty, let's lead us to truly achieve great unification in Hollywood." Gans and Fatty also began to urge each other.
"It's easy, since that's the case, I'll do it." I walked to the window and looked at the brightly lit Hollywood outside.
This night, Hollywood completely changed, which has never been born in Hollywood in the past few decades.
Two days later, a series of news came from the good news, which made the already earth-shaking United States more and more turbulent.
On this day, news conferences from major Hollywood electric companies have been rolling and undulating, and almost every news conference is definitely shocking news.
First, Columbia, 20th Gion Fox, Warner Bros. and other film companies announced that they would sell their equity to DreamWorks and become a company controlled by DreamWorks. Then DreamWorks held a press conference to announce the acquisition of Thunder Dinghua. After the acquisition, the name Thunder Dinghua will disappear in Hollywood forever.
Then, Paramount Film Company announced the transfer of 51% of its shares to DreamWork, and Adolf Chuck immediately announced the transfer of the position of chairman of the board to me.
Then, on that night, Erskolov held a grand banquet at the Lincoln Hotel, which invited Hollywood's famous people. From the beginning of the banquet, people speculated that there must be some important news to be announced. And midway through the banquet, Marskolov did not disappoint people. In front of so many people in Hollywood, Marskolov smiled and announced his official retirement. The owner of MGM Film Company, named Adolf Marskolovlyon.
When Jia, who attended the banquet, looked at the photo of the slim little brat projected in the middle of the banquet, everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe such a fact, and they couldn't believe that the successor boss of MGM Film Company, who had dominated Hollywood for so many years, was such a child who was not even as furious as hell. Moreover, the child's name was so loud and so meaningless: Adolfelskolov Corleone!
This series of news shocked the entire United States. The big media even saw that foreign reports were reported.
"Lei Dinghua was annexed and disappeared by DreamWorks. Columbia, 20th Gion Fox, Warner Bros., Stars, Frontiers, Paramount is controlled by DreamWorks. In addition, the Universal and Crescent Moon, which were originally under DreamWorks, look at Hollywood, many of the original film companies are now under the feet of Red Dragons! Over the past few decades, Hollywood has finally developed to the point of becoming a world! And the whole process is so thrilling and so shocking!"
"For today's situation, many people will involuntarily comment on whether it is good or not. This is a matter of opinion. On the one hand, Hollywood has achieved great unification and will inevitably form a monopoly. In the absence of competition, all film companies have only one boss, so the movies produced by Hollywood will have certain problems to some extent. If this monopoly situation is not well controlled, it will easily cause American movies to lose their vitality and may also be unfavorable to the American public. Everyone knows that once any industry monopolizes, it will produce a lot of overbearing policies and benefits."
"But on the other hand, we should also see that in such an era, the formation of such an organic whole will have a huge driving force for the American Film Festival to the survival of Hollywood. In recent years, Hollywood has changed its turmoil. After suffering so many breakups and reunions, and after countless ups and downs, Hollywood has finally won its golden age. The formation of the Hollywood unified situation will not only make the Hollywood castle extremely solid, but will also form a reasonable allocation of resources from various Hollywood industries, greatly promoting the stable exhibition of Hollywood movies."
"What is certain is that from this day on, Hollywood will be the same as before! A brand new page will begin from now on!"
The front page headline of the Los Angeles Times is very representative of the views of the American media on this matter.
But these are obviously not all we need to do. In addition to unifying Hollywood, we have a lot of things to do next.
Damn it, I forgot to bring the USB flash drive at work today, so I had to go home to pass it on.
