Hollywood Hunter

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

The three major Hollywood unions simultaneously filed a lawsuit in Delaware federal court on Monday, November 19 to try to block Daenerys Entertainment's acquisition of mca. The entire Westeros system is busy dealing with this matter, but It doesn't stop Thanksgiving coming.

Thanksgiving this year is November 22.

It happened to be snowing on the East Coast, and Simon liked the atmosphere of snow again during the holiday season, so he and Janet spent this Thanksgiving together at the manor in Greenwich.

After Thursday, another box office week arrives in Hollywood.

Previously, from November 16 to November 22, the first week of the Thanksgiving schedule, Stallone's new film "Rocky 5" successfully won the single-week box office championship.

However, the popularity of this action film series, which once created a box office miracle, is still not as popular as it used to be. It only received 19.6 million US dollars at the box office in the first week of its opening. The industry generally predicts that the film will drop between 40% and 50% in the next week. The total North American box office is expected to be less than 50 million US dollars. The producers can only expect to rely on overseas box office and other channels to recover the cost.

"Dancing With Wolves" produced by Daenerys Entertainment ranked second, with a box office of $12.67 million in the first week of its large-scale opening. Compared with only 1,031 screens and 3 hours of movie time, the single hall exceeded 12.67 million US dollars. The $12,000 box-office hit was pretty good.

Taking into account the previous screening results, "Dancing With Wolves" accumulated a total of 17.3 million US dollars at the box office within three weeks of its opening, which is close to the film's production cost of 20 million US dollars.

"Ten Days of Dangerous Love", which was released during Halloween, fell by 22% this week, and it is a pity that it failed to rebound in the Thanksgiving period. The film received an additional $6.87 million in seven days, and within four weeks of filming, the cumulative box office reached $43.99 million.

Disney's "Three Dads and One Baby", which was confirmed to be released on Wednesday, November 21, earned $5.32 million in two days with its excellent reputation and festive atmosphere, which is a bit of a dark horse.

The 2D animated film "Little Heroes", also produced by Disney, had a box office of $4.79 million in the first seven days of its opening, ranking fifth.

Outside the top five, it's basically a bunch of old movies.

On November 23, the second week of the Thanksgiving schedule, there are also three new films, namely "Red Pink Alliance" by Daenerys Entertainment and Columbia Pictures, "Predator 2" by Fox Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures. 2d animation movie "The Nutcracker Prince".

Among them, "Pink League" and "Predator 2" both have more than 2,000 screens, while "The Nutcracker" has only 906 screens, which is comparable to Disney's "Little Heroes" and belongs to 2D animations of this era. The standard distribution model for movies.

Inside the estate on the northern outskirts of Greenwich.

Except for the main road, other areas in the manor are still white and have not been cleaned up.

Sophia Fisher parked the car outside the manor's main villa, got out of the car and opened the rear door. The two little guys couldn't wait to get out of the car and ran towards Janet who was approaching.

Today is Sunday, November 25th.

It happened to be a sunny day. At ten o'clock in the morning, the air was still cold, but the sun was shining brightly.

Sophia traveled from Europe to see the kids over the weekend as usual, and neither Simon nor Janet left the East Coast after Thanksgiving.

Going forward to greet Janet, listening to the chirping of a pair of children and Janet, and soon ran to build a snowman together, Sophia walked into the villa by herself.

The villa looked very warm. She took off her windbreaker and handed it to the B-girl Betsy who came over. After asking a question, she learned that Simon was in the study upstairs, so she walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Simon was on the phone, and there were many documents scattered around the desk. Hearing the knock on the door, he responded casually. Seeing Sophia's hesitant appearance after pushing the door, she smiled at the woman, indicating that it was all right, and Sophia walked in.

Trying to make herself appear as casual as possible, Sophia paced across from Simon's desk, casually helping the man sort out the documents on the desk, listening to him talk to the other side.

The discussion is about the recent mca acquisition.

Regarding how to deal with the lawsuit of the three major trade unions and other issues that follow, these things are not suitable for anyone to hear, but the man did not deliberately lower his voice to avoid himself, which made Sophia feel some warmth in her heart.

After putting away several documents, the woman went to the bookshelf again and pretended to look at the books on it. With his back to Simon, he wondered if he was looking at himself.

It's just that after a while, the man's phone call still hasn't ended.

Walking from one side of the bookshelf to the other, she couldn't jot down anything.

Putting down the Lola figure that he had been playing with for a while, he turned around and looked over. Simon happened to hang up one call, but directly transferred another.

Couldn't help but feel some resentment.

Then I felt that I was really hopeless. This little man, after all, was younger than me... so many years.

Simon flipped through a document diligently, holding the microphone in his hand and discussing with the other side, raised his head inadvertently, noticed Sophia's expression, paused, and made a come over gesture to the woman with a smile.

What did you do in the past?

Thinking so, Sophia walked over.

As soon as he walked to his leather chair, he was pulled by the waist and pulled into his arms by the man.

His body was a little stiff, and he struggled lightly, but he didn't dare to exert too much force.

What if he lets go.

He didn't dare to speak, he was on the phone.

Moreover, just holding himself, he didn't do anything else too much.

When I entered the door, it seemed to be locked.

Find a good reason, completely relieved, and submissively sit on the man's lap.

Seeing the man's devotion, he reached out his hand and helped him hold the microphone to his ear. With one free hand, the man touched her earlobe, gently took off the silver earring that he had specially put on today, and threw it on the table.

It turns out that he doesn't like women wearing earrings.

Remember silently.

Next time for earrings, well, maybe he doesn't like it either. Probably to wear nothing.

Then wear nothing.

After more than ten minutes, Simon finally put down the microphone, the study was quiet, and the children's laughter outside happened to be heard from the window. Sophia was suddenly a little nervous, worried that he would not be able to bear what to do at this time.

It's almost noon.

He quickly found a topic and asked, "Isn't it troublesome this time about mca?"

Simon rested his chin on the woman's shoulder, sniffed the good smell of women, picked up a document on the desktop and continued to look at it, saying: "If the three major trade unions just mess around, it will be really troublesome, but you just need to understand what they want. Whatever you want, it will be easier.”

It seems that I heard him discussing with people just now. It seems that the three major trade unions are most dissatisfied with Daenerys Entertainment, probably because Simon has moved many films to shoot overseas.

This has cost American filmmakers a lot of job opportunities.

Thinking to herself, Sophia said casually, "Well, is the next Batman going to be filmed in China?"

Simon smiled and said: "If they want something and I give it before they say it, it will only lead to a lack of people's hearts. For those who deliberately trouble me, what they want, I am more inclined to let them lose More."

I vaguely remembered that he was chatting with someone just now, and he was going to play a promotional video on the abc TV network next week.

I've listened to it since I knew it, but now I don't know how to talk.

Fortunately, the man's hand that was originally around her waist got into the hem of the clothes a little restlessly.

Staying at the manor for dinner at noon, little Gemma was very attentive and asked her mother if she had lost her earrings. Sophia seemed to have just discovered it, and then nodded her head regretfully. The little girl persuaded a few words very sensible. If you lose something, you can buy it again, but you should pay attention next time.

certainly.

Then the little guy chased after him. Is his mother very hot, why is his face red?

He quickly changed the subject indiscriminately.

I noticed that the little man on the opposite side was forced to smile and grin. I don't know if he was stepped on or pinched, and he seemed to be in pain.

No sympathy at all.

He clearly said that it was almost noon, and he was so resistant to it, and he was still messing around.

A new week has arrived, and many members of the public who are still paying attention to the news of Daenerys Entertainment's acquisition of mca have unexpectedly ushered in another sensational news.

Westeros suddenly announced that it has reached a cash acquisition agreement with a total value of $8.7 billion with Bell Atlantic, a telecom operator on the east coast of the United States, of which $7 billion is paid in cash and bears Bell Atlantic for a total of $1.7 billion. 's liabilities.

Bell Atlantic's board of directors announced that it will hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on December 3 to vote on the acquisition.

However, according to the information subsequently exposed by the "Wall Street Journal", while obtaining the approval of the board of directors, Westeros has won the approval of about 25% of important shareholders in advance, that is to say, the shareholder voting process has almost been passed. .

All Westeros needs to fight for is approval from the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.

As if to pave the way for the approval of the two major regulatory authorities, the New York Times followed with news that as long as the acquisition is approved, Simon Westeros will transfer the $8 billion hoarded overseas. Back home to pay for the acquisition.

At 28% capital gains tax, that would mean a hefty tax bill of more than $2 billion.

When the overall economic environment of the United States is deteriorating and the government's fiscal deficit continues to rise, a one-time tax payment of more than 2 billion US dollars is definitely not optional for the federal government.

Moreover, although the federal government has many restrictions on the telecommunications industry, it is only to acquire a regional telecommunications operator. Unless it is deliberately finding fault, there are really not many obstacles at the regulatory level.

However, someone jumped out immediately.

But it was Motorola, who had had a big holiday with Westeros.

Motorola cited the provisions of the Telecommunications Act promulgated during the at-t split in 1984, pointing out that the Westeros Corporation owns a telecommunications equipment company called Nokia. Although this company was established overseas, it still violated the Telecommunications Act in that year. Operators shall not be involved in the terms of the production of telecommunication equipment.

Moreover, the retired former chairman of Motorola, Robert Galvin, also appeared in a cbs news interview program, rhetorically attacked Simon's private luxury life, and said the federal government should take measures to limit another capital oligarch The emergence of the United States does not need a second Rockefeller family.

Simon's accusations against Robert Galvin were not heard at the time. However, Westeros was the first to deal with motorcycles

Lola responded to the demands, saying that Nokia's business will be limited to Europe. As long as the acquisition of Bell Atlantic is completed, Nokia will completely withdraw its North American business, which has begun to test the waters, and even set up a technology research institute in Silicon Valley.

You come and go in the media, and many spectators are still a little confused.

what's going on?

Wasn't Daenerys Entertainment looking to buy mca, how did it suddenly become the Westeros company buying Bell Atlantic?

Or, Simon Westeros originally planned to buy Bell Atlantic, and mca was just a pretense?

This is also not reasonable.

In order to acquire mca, Daenerys Entertainment pushed Panasonic out of the competition through a very generous agreement. If it was so easy to give up, not even Panasonic would agree.

or.

Simon Westeros is this, two-way operation?

Two acquisitions at one time?

This……

After all, the people who eat melons are just watching the fun. With the announcement of each piece of news, the stock prices of Bell Atlantic and mca have made the most direct response, because the agreement between the two sides has basically been reached. In the following days, the market trading volume Bell Atlantic's stock price, which fell sharply, rose only 8%, but mca's stock price fell by a full 11%, from a high of $69 to $61.

In terms of mca, some people don't care, or even secretly rejoice, it would be better for Daenerys Entertainment to just give up this acquisition.

But many shareholders who want to cash out at a high level are reluctant.

Some shareholders have even threatened to file a class-action lawsuit if Daenerys Entertainment walks away from the acquisition.

The three major Hollywood unions, who are sharpening their knives, are also somewhat at a loss. How can they hit a Bell Atlantic takeover case with one punch.

When many people hadn't reacted, the abc TV network suddenly started to broadcast an advertisement. This is an investment advertisement for the film and television industry released by the Australian government. The beautiful scenery of snow-capped mountains, jungles, etc. is vividly displayed, and various preferential policies for overseas filmmakers in Australia are also introduced.

Just like singing a double reed, Daenerys Entertainment immediately announced that it has signed 6 film production memorandums with a total value of 300 million US dollars with the Victorian government of Australia, and the Victorian government will provide Daenerys Entertainment with a unified 20% tax rebate plan .

In exchange, all six films will be produced in Australia over the next three years, including the post-production period, and more than 70% of the crew will be hired from Australia. As a result, this package will directly or indirectly bring tens of thousands of jobs to Victoria.

Moreover, the two sides jointly declared that there will be more in-depth and extensive cooperation in the future.

The most fundamental meaning of the existence of major Hollywood guilds is to ensure a series of work rights and interests of their members.

Daenerys Entertainment's direct transfer of film production overseas is tantamount to another draw.

You don't even have a job, so how can you protect your job rights?

The Aussie promo for the film and the $300 million memo was followed by news that Daenerys Entertainment CEO Amy Pascal and the company's president of television, Robert Iger, were in the aftermath of the Thanksgiving break. He personally went to Toronto, Canada to investigate and contact the local government, and planned to build another film and television production base in Toronto, mainly for the production of TV programs.

After years of patient management, Daenerys Entertainment has long been a TV content provider whose strength should not be underestimated. If hundreds of millions of dollars in TV production investment go abroad every year, it is clear that the domestic entertainment industry will lose a large number of jobs.

Therefore, this news is undoubtedly another heavy blow for the three major trade unions.
