Chapter 695: The essence of the media industry

William White's generous investment actually raised the threshold of the film industry. Even if you are an industry giant, you may need to weigh the cost of direct competition.
As for those small companies, it is undoubtedly difficult to mix well in the film industry. Of course, as long as you have the ability to fudge money, you can still try it.
No matter how good William White is, he can't fill up 20,000 screens. The overall box office data of the United States is increasing year by year, even if it encounters negative economic growth this year, it is still increasing.
"Paramount wants to sell? Gee, so big appetite, who is this cow 13?" William White was a little strange. They seemed to have a good life. How could they sell it?
They all talk about how Hollywood is. In fact, only the Paramount family is a Hollywood film company with real meaning. A bunch of companies, including White Pictures and Disney, do not have registered addresses in Los Angeles or even California.
Don't look at California's wealth, economic development is good. Taxes in California are basically the highest in the United States.
"The boss is Lei Shidong, who started by the cinema line."
"Somery Stone? Wait, Philson, this old guy, should there be more than seventy? Is this planning to start a second business?"
"Yes, boss, don't underestimate this guy. This time, the support of the Jewish consortium is very strong. Moreover, Paramount does have plans to sell. The only problem now is that his wife seems to intend to share with him Family."
Poof, William White smiled directly, he really didn't expect that there was such an interesting thing.
Hey, no, he was cut off from the idea of ​​MTV TV. This old guy should not have this capital. What is the problem?
"Filson, is the cinema dealer very profitable now? This guy named Lei Shidong, what business is there."
"Video rentals, TV stations, and cinemas. The cinemas in the past two years have really made money." Philson said heartily, and you don't look at how much money you make. Cinema line merchants don't just have box office, can they still sell popcorn? By the way, there are all kinds of game consoles. How profitable are these things? You should know.
"I know, he took a fancy to Paramount's film library. The money he spends now will soon be made."
"Yes, the boss, coupled with Paramount's distribution channels, his threat is no less than that of Time Warner."
"Ah, these guys, are they really tenacious. By the way, how is Murdoch now?"
"He's already thrown away. Except News Corp. and Fox, the old guy is an empty shell. Even these two companies, his holding ratio is very low."
"Well, I know. Let's see if they sell the film library. In addition, help me ask Kokorian of MGM."
"Okay, boss, I know."
Philson knew without asking, buying a library was nonsense. If you sell the most valuable things, the ghost will continue to buy. As for the Kokryan, this is a stir stick. If the boss flickers here, he will definitely stir it up.
William White knew very well how no matter how he coveted, Paramount could not sell him. The combination of White Pictures and Disney is already terrible. If Paramount is added, his statue of William White will stand on the Avenue of Stars.
Movies, TV, newspapers and magazines do not seem to matter much, but they are not. William White started with movies, then TV newspapers and magazines. By now, White Media is already a behemoth.
Murdoch is different. The old guy started with paper. Then there is the TV, and finally the movie. Obviously, his thinking is similar to that of William White. It's just that he and William White have different opinions on who comes first.
Facts have proved that William White plays higher. From film and television to paper media, Murdoch was beaten. At this moment, I am afraid that even the opponent is not counted.
Redstone has been thinking about Paramount for three years, and watching Hollywood for three years. William White's every move, he watched very carefully. After so many years, he summed up four words, that is, content is king.
In this situation, Lei Shidong knew he could not wait. William White's is obviously using capital advantage to crush his opponent. If he doesn't buy tickets to enter the field, no one in the world can resist William White.
The news that a film of two hundred million dollars was made for a movie, and the whole Hollywood fell into a strange silence. No one knows what a 200 million dollar knife movie should look like, and no one knows how to make a 200 million dollar knife movie.
However, a common idea is that William White may not really lose.
With over 100 million box offices worldwide, Hollywood is a good movie. When it comes to William White, the $500 million knife is the breakeven line. Nima, this gap really cannot be relieved.
Do you want to blame?
Don't be funny, you are not rivals for small-cost movies. If you have the ability, you have a higher rate of return than the head of the imp, and then speak.
William White’s success tells the world what the media industry should do.
Yes, you all have your own purpose, and you want to carry private goods. Making money is actually not your first choice, how to fill the world with chicken soup is your job.
William White now tells everyone with practical action that you are all wrong. The most important thing in the media is the content, who cares about who killed you before.
To be honest, Lao Mei's education level is seriously polarized. Ordinary people are choking enough to account, and their mastery of historical and geographical knowledge can only be described as ridiculous. If you talk to these people about what you don’t have, it’s better to tell them that the cat is more cute.
What? The elite may not like it.
Don't joke, not to mention now, even in the era of self-media, in addition to those traffic stars, the most traffic must be those animals.
Besides, what kind of TV does the elite like to watch have eggs? The life of this group of guys must be very fulfilling, and it won't help your ratings much.
Obviously, other giants understand that it is not difficult to say, Lei Shidong understands. The old guy's eyes were all red when he looked at William White's huge amount of money.
"Henry, what did my wife say?"
Seeing that the old man was speechless, Henry did not intend to persuade. If the two parents-in-law do this, you are also capable.
"Sammer, if possible, you'd better reconcile. This lawsuit comes down, there is no way to get 500 million."
"500 million?" Lei Shidong felt his liver tremble. Jewish people are also more generous, but Somerset Stone is not in this list.
If there is a stingy leaderboard in this world, the old guy must be at the top. In order to be a good knife, he and his wife were in the court, and he gave me back several times. For the sake of a beautiful knife, he and his son tear their faces. Haha, this guy, only Grand Terrace can be compared.
Of course, the meanness here is just his attitude towards people. People in the family don't want to use his money, and people in the company are even more impossible. The most typical case is that the reporter of Viacom was in Iraq because Redstone refused to pay the ransom, and the reporter was later torn.
At the same time, someone was tied up, because someone paid the ransom and was released shortly.
The reason given by Viacom in the end is barely explained, because the payment of ransom will indeed encourage such behavior. Well, even though the explanation is clear, everyone in the circle knows that the old guys are reluctant to pay. Fortunately, three or five hundred thousand people say, thirty or fifty million, you won't give it if you catch his son.
