Chapter 843: New Year's New Plan (1)


"Amc theater line?" Although Guo Tailai bought Artisan Entertainment and Marvel, he didn't really understand how to do it in this industry. To put it plainly, Guo Tailai is a layman, so he doesn't understand what the name stands for.
However, as a layman, Guo Tailai also knows what the cinema line means for film and television companies. As long as you have a theater line, you can arrange your films when your film is released. Others can't say anything, this is the advantage. Of course, when you are unhappy, you can also reduce the number of competitors. This is also an advantage. Even more hooligan can also ask for exclusive exclusivity.
"I remember there is a bill in Hollywood. It seems that the film and television company cannot run the theater line, right?" Xiao Fen En said of the theater line and asked Guo Tailai if he was interested. It definitely meant that Guo Tailai could buy it if he wanted, so Guo Tailai is also more confused.
"You're talking about the Paramount Act?" Obviously, Finn Jr. knew more than Guo Tailai: "It used to be this way, but this bill basically existed in name more than a decade ago. The Ministry of Justice said publicly, Since the industrial environment is different from the past, they will no longer implement the Paramount Act. At the same time, they encourage large studios to regain the opportunity to get involved in the film business by appealing, as long as the large studios can win a lawsuit. Your Artisan Entertainment is not a big studio, right? "
"Do you mean, if I'm interested, I can buy it?" Guo Tailai nodded in the video and said, "What trouble has this theater encountered now, and do you need to introduce new investors?"
"Actually, no!" Xiao Finn laughed. "However, Dad said he would like to thank you, so some opportunities can be artificially fought. One of their major shareholders has been a bit troublesome recently. My dad can help him solve it, so, You know!"
"Understand!" Guo Tailai understood instantly. The old Finn helped to solve the troublesome conditions, it must be to buy the cinema shares in his hands.
"Although you as a foreigner will have some trouble buying local theaters in North America, this is not insurmountable." Xiao Fen said by saying, "You can first understand that as you may encounter The investigations of the Trade Commission and the anti-monopoly bill, etc., do n’t worry, my dad can handle it.

"Thank you very much! Finn!" Guo Tailai will of course know about it, but a North American cinema company brought it to her door as a gift, but it can't cold the old Finn's heart to want to repay.
When talking with Xiao Fen, Guo Tailai's analog computer was already connected to the Internet. First, he looked at the Paramount Act, and briefly understood the AMC circuit. To Guo Tailai's surprise, amc is actually one of the three major theaters in North America, ranking second, and just in 2002, the general theaters were acquired.
The full name of this theater line is the American multi-cinema (amc), which is the first theater line to introduce a multi-room cinema. In addition, there are many firsts in cinema history. For example, the stadium ’s stepped seats are introduced into the theater to ensure that the visibility of each seat is not obstructed; the armrest is set to be adjustable, and the armrest can be raised to form a couple seat; a cup holder is set on the armrest, To facilitate the audience to place drinks.
AMC's theaters are mainly concentrated in the center of large and medium-sized cities, which is the mainstream of high-end theaters in the United States. In addition to the United States and Canada, there are theaters in Britain, France, Huaxia Xiangjiang, Spain and other regions. It currently has about 300 theaters and more than 4,000 screens, which is quite amazing.
It is said that the amc theater line is still preparing to acquire the loews cineplex entertainment theater line. If successful, it will have 347 theaters with more than 5,000 screens.
So it looks like this cinema line is very promising! Have a mess!
While thinking about it, Lin Jiayi rushed back and rushed to Guo Tailaihui to report: "I have asked Marvel's senior executives to conduct a self-examination. It is time to clean up and wait for them to solve all the problems before letting them rebuild a new Marvel universe plan."
"In addition ..." Lin Jiayi looked at Guo Tailai and hesitated.
"It's okay, Jia Jia, if you have any thoughts," Guo Tailai smiled at Lin Jiayi. "Don't worry I won't listen."
"I suggest you don't return Spider-Man and Hulk back to Marvel." Lin Jiayi also hesitated and said with a gritted tooth: "I know you have a good relationship with mj, mj also likes spider-man, but spider-man and Hulk's copyright is better placed in other companies. "
"You can think about it!" Guo Tailai knew that Lin Jiayi would definitely not hurt herself, so she answered with a smile: "As long as the reason is sufficient."
"The reason is very simple." Lin Jiayi laughed: "These two copyrights are equivalent to those you bought back with 500 million US dollars. If returning Marvel, is this part of the value of capital increase or borrowing? If it is capital increase, mj and Li and Man Ivy executives must increase their capital in equal proportions, otherwise they will have to dilute their shares. But not everyone can get so much money in proportion, so it will cause greater instability to Marvel during the liquidation period. "
"It makes sense!" Guo Tailai agreed with Lin Jiayi's words: "Forcibly increasing the capital, maybe they would think that I intentionally diluted their shares."
"There is also a big problem with borrowing." Lin Jiayi went on to analyze: "Although you are a large shareholder and have the right to make a decision on borrowing, such a large amount of borrowing must be returned by other shareholders in proportion. Now the profit situation is worrying. Marvel, I'm afraid I can't take such risks yet. "
"In addition, the copyright of these two character series is placed in other companies, and there are other benefits." Lin Jiayi was wholeheartedly thinking of Guo Tai: "You can authorize Marvel to join these two characters in the Marvel universe. However, the division can be negotiated separately, and the copyrights of other characters of the artisan entertainment are united together, which can in turn restrict Marvel. Once the Marvel universe has been successfully developed, it will not make Marvel's family dominated. "
"Okay!" Guo Tailai was persuaded: "You can arrange this. But I can still ask that the Spider-Man's player must be mj, can this always be?"
"Of course!" Lin Jiayi laughed, and got up to get busy again: "No problem at all."
"Jia Jia!" After waiting for Lin Jiayi to make arrangements, Guo Tailai called her again: "If we have the opportunity to own an American cinema company, do we?"
"Difficult, right?" Lin Jiayi had an in-depth understanding of this, and shook her head directly: "Several large theater lines are definitely not easy to get. For small theater lines, the place is remote, and there are not too many theaters and screens. Quite laborious. "
"Amc." Guo Tailai said his name casually.
"So what are you waiting for? Buy!" Lin Jiayi replied categorically when she heard the name.
"Okay!" Guo Tai nodded. "Then prepare the negotiation team!"
