Chapter 226 Start the acquisition of Miramax(1/3)

"What are you writing, a new script?" Scarlett lay on Chen Tian's shoulder, looking at the computer screen, "Prison break?"

Chen Tian stopped and hugged Scarlett from behind with his hands: "Yes, I am a fugitive and I want to escape from prison."

Chen Tian has been writing the script of "Prison Break" for more than a month. Chen Tian has not been optimistic about this TV series since the third season. What he has written is only a general direction.

Some of them have been handed over to Michael Amrt, and the overall direction is similar to the later script of "Prison Break" but Chen Tian would ask for a little higher in details.

Especially in some of the plots that were criticized in later generations, Chen Tian considered making adjustments.

However, the characteristics of American dramas are to film and broadcast and then modify the scripts. There are few people who directly finalize the scripts like this. If it weren't for reference from later generations, Chen Tian wouldn't have been so stupid to do it all.

"Are you hinting at me like this? "

"I'm hinting at you." Scarlett's eyes seemed to be able to speak.

Chen Tian was about to say something, but his phone rang.

"David Ellison?" Chen Tian looked at the screen and picked up his phone. "David, you haven't called me for a long time. Don't tell me that you have a good script."

"Justin, what if I buy a company?"

Chen Tian was confused: "Acquiring a company? What kind of company, I don't understand this."

"global."

"Global? Are you sure? Global is not MGM now, and it is not cheap to acquire it." Chen Tian was a little surprised. He never expected that David Ellison was aiming at Global.

You should know that if there is no 10 billion acquisition of Global, it will definitely be 9 billion. This is not a small amount.

Just after he thought about it, Chen Tian suddenly realized that something was going to happen. That is, later generations, Global seemed to have acquired 80% of its shares by General Electric in 2004.

The reason is that the company's parent company, Vivendi, France, has suffered huge losses due to its rapid expansion. While changing management, it began to auction its assets.

"Of course it's not cheap, but its parent company Vivendi must sell its own companies. If they don't sell, they will wait for bankruptcy.

To be honest, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have the courage to buy a company. It’s because of you that I have the courage.”

The volume of the phone was quite loud, and David Ellison's voice came out of the speaker.

Scarlett made a funny and disgusting expression. At the same time, he shook his head and took his hands away from Chen Tian's shoulders.

Chen Tian glared at Scarlett: "I feel pressured to say that. In fact, Global Resources are very good. If you buy and acquire Global Shares, you will definitely not suffer any losses."

Chen Tian is telling the truth. Global Development has always been very good, much better than MGM DreamWorks.

MGM is probably entering the negotiation stage, and this year it should be reported that the acquisitions proposed by major film companies will be revealed one after another, and will eventually be acquired by Sony in February next year.

Compared with when MGM was acquired, Global operates well and is profitable every year without a debt crisis.

However, the only problem is not easy for Oracle, which has a market value of 64 billion yuan.

With so much market value, it is already optimistic that the circulation funds are worth $5 billion.

"David, what do you really want to buy? Do you want to buy it? Will you take Oracle shares? Then your dad won't kill you?"

David Ellison on the other end of the phone sighed: "This is the problem. It is absolutely impossible not to rely on my dad, but he can't take out so much money at once.

Unless he fully supports me, he will never and will not allow my sister and I to exchange their shares for funds."

David Ellison's tone was a little depressed, and Chen Tian knew that he was very interested in filmmakers now.

"There are definitely many people competing for Global. To be honest, although Oracle is a big company, there is still a big gap compared to those giants, such as General Motors.

As long as these giants join the competition, even if you have the ability to join the acquisition, you may not be able to compete successfully." Chen Tian is telling the truth. In the future, General Motors did acquire 80% of Global shares.

"I know all of these. Don't you know how something super delicious is tempting you in front of you?

I dreamed of eating it, but I didn't have the ability. If we had a company ourselves, we wouldn't need to share profits with those companies.

Why don't Justin start a film company together?" David Ellison's tone suddenly became excited as he said.

"Your thoughts are really jumping."

"I don't think it's strong at all. It's always better to work for others than to work. Even if Justin is an independent producer now, you still have to go through those guys to release it, right?

What if we own a company? It's completely different. Although it will be easy to start, we can enjoy the hardships of starting a business.

More importantly, I don’t think it’s too difficult. You are alone and have the ability to maintain the survival of the company. As for the film source library, we can acquire them. What Los Angeles has never lacks is small companies that cannot survive every day.

And they all have their own source library, some more and some less, and recently I heard that Disney and Miramax are very stiff, and they have entered the negotiation stage with Weinstein.

If possible, we can consider acquiring Miramax. I have the ability to acquire this myself and don’t need my dad’s help.

Are you interested? I think this is very feasible."

David Eric is indeed not a joke. Miramax Pictures should have an estimated price of about $500 million.

Later generations Disney and Weinstein brothers split up and paid the Weinstein brothers $1.30, and Disney got the right to use the name "Milla Max" and the inventory of more than 800 videos by Miramax Company.

After the Weinstein brothers and Disney split up, they continued to run the Dimen Film Company, a subsidiary of Miramax, and the company's cooperation plan with Miramax.

The collaboration plans include sequels to "Shocking" and "Very Little Spy", as well as more than 25 other projects.

The Weinstein brothers had already won over him several times, and Chen Tian was also moved. But his instinct was still a little distance from the Weinstein brothers.

But now that David Ellison has put forward his idea, Chen Tian’s heartbeat index is much higher than that of the Weinstein brothers.

Chen Tian can now sell $200 million with his shares in Facebook and Tube. It is entirely easy to have this money to cooperate with the Ellison brother and sister.

"David, do you really want to acquire the company?"

David Ellison laughed: "Of course, I never joke, but I don't have the idea of ​​my dad. I just want to make money easier and more easy for both of us, and I don't care about the rest.

I know you are very good now. If you want you to be the boss, we are brothers, right?"

Since they met David Ellison, brother and sister, David Ellison is more like a big boy, while Megan Ellison has a good personality, but his methods are tough and have the potential to become a strong woman.

"David, I can't give you an accurate reply now. To be honest, Weinstein has told me several times about working together, but I didn't agree.

The answer I can give you now is that as long as Manny has no problem, I want to give it a try with you."

David Ellison on the other end of the phone smiled happily, which made Chen Tian’s ears hurt: “Justin, this is the best news I have heard, I’ll wait for you good news!

By the way, Justin said hello to Scarlett for me, if she agrees, I decided to provide her with the latest Chanel brands for free every month from now on.”

"Are you trying to bribe her?"

Scarlett didn't know what Chen Tian and David Ellison were talking about, but it seemed to have something to do with her.

"Haha, if you want to think so, that's it, I won't say it anymore, wait for you to get the good news to me."

Chen Tian put away the phone and Scarlett rushed forward: "Why are you asking me for me and want to bribe me?"

"Manny, you know what's going on now.

David wanted to acquire the company and work alone with me, and now he has a chance.

At Weinstein's party some time ago, you also knew that Harvey and Bob both advised me to work with them, but I wanted to do it with David even more.

Now I want to ask for your ideas. If you agree, I want to give it a try. I am still young and have some good ideas on my hands, as well as James Win, Michael Amrt and many of them.

I think it should be pretty good to work with David."

"Why should I ask for my opinion? Just make your own decision. I can't give you much help, except to help you make a movie." Scarlett asked with a smile, holding Chen Tian's neck.

"Manny, are you talking nonsense? You are my wife, I won't ask who you ask."

Before Chen Tian could say goodbye, Scarlett hugged Chen Tian and kissed Chen Tian fiercely: "I like your answer."

"Then what you mean is to agree? What if I fail, what should I do if I have to sell my house?" Chen Tian asked with a smile.

Scarlett glared at Chen Tian: "Failure starts again. At worst, you can cooperate with other companies again. Besides, I have confidence in you."

"I don't have confidence. What if I really go bankrupt?"

"What do you think? You didn't have anything when I was with you, right? At worst, you can start over, but don't sell the house.

Although I don’t have money, I still have tens of millions of dollars. I believe that this little money will be fine to support both of us.”

"Okay, then I'm not afraid anymore. If I lose, I have a wife to support me!" Chen Tian kissed Scarlett hard, "I'll reply to David now, and I feel new motivation now."

"New motivation?"

"Of course, I can't let others laugh at me." Chen Tian let go of Scarlett and picked up the phone again.

After David Ellison called Chen Tian, ​​he focused all his attention on Miramax Pictures.

It is not easy to let Disney go easily, Miramax Pictures has a very good operation.

If you want to completely acquire Miramax Pictures, it will probably cost about 800 million to 1 billion US dollars.

"Justin, are you giving me good news?" David Ellison immediately answered when he heard the phone ringing.

Chen Tian laughed: "Of course it's good news, do you want bad news?"

"Then you mean she agreed to you, that's really good news. I have an impulse now that I'm buying a plane ticket to fly to New York to meet you.

I can't stand waiting anymore. We have to talk about this in person.

All I can say now is that I guess neither Disney nor Weinstein will easily agree to us.

If we can reach an agreement with the Weinstein brothers, negotiations with Disney would be much easier, but they are not easy to deal with.

But it should be good if they are with us. Of course, this premise is that I or you are the president, and they are CEO.
