Chapter 1134: The Peak Witnesses the False Supporters, the Dusk Witnesses the True Believers

Chapter 1134: The peak witnesses hypocritical support, and the dusk witnesses true believers...

Google's hot search No.1: "Shocking! Walton Pictures officially announced this morning, saying that it has completed one of the six major Hollywood '20th Century Fox Pictures' and its parent company '21st Century Fox's full acquisition job! ”

Google's hot search No.2: "It is reported that the acquisition of Walton Pictures totaled $53 billion, and it is also responsible for up to $13.7 billion in foreign debt, with a total purchase of $66.7 billion!"

Google's hot search No.3: "According to the announcement document, in addition to 20th Century Fox, one of the six major film studios, the ones that were successfully acquired also include Fox Searchlight Pictures, National Geographic Channel NatGeo, and Asian Paid TV. Operators Star TV and some shares of Hulu Video Website..."

No.4: "The success of this acquisition also means that the copyrights of "X-Men", "Fantasy Four" and "Deadpool" that Fox previously held will officially return to Marvel, and at the same time, Hollywood's long-lasting success IPs such as the animation "The Simpsons" will also belong to Walton Pictures."

"At present, 21st Century Fox retains assets such as Fox News and Sports, and has officially reorganized into an independent company, Fox Corporation."

"MPAA officially announced that from today, Walton Pictures will replace 20th Century Fox Films and become a new member of the MPAA's presidium, and will officially participate in the formulation of relevant policies of the Hollywood Film Association in the future."

“…”

At this moment, not only Google's hot search list, but other traditional and online media platforms including Twitter, TMZ, Hollywood Daily, are all reporting on Walton Pictures' successful acquisition of 20th Century Fox.

It is no exaggeration to say that the whole Hollywood will be completely sensational now!

In everyone's previous predictions, Walton Pictures will one day join the MPAA Association, which is unquestionable. After all, the achievements made by this company in recent years are really impressive.

But everyone never expected that Walton Pictures would join the "MPAA Alliance" in this way!

The acquisition of the veteran film manufacturer 20th Century Fox forced MPAA to accept it as a new member of the presidium...

This operation is ridiculous! ?

The hot discussions on the Internet are almost in full swing!

"What did I see? Is this another Sony rising?"

"No!No!No! Walton Pictures is not comparable to Sony. Even though Sony has acquired Columbia Pictures and MGM Pictures one after another, it has never been able to achieve any outstanding results."

"Hollywood's eight majors have become seven majors, six majors have become six majors, and then five majors have returned to the six majors... Twentieth Century Fox Films has been acquired! My God! This is simply crazy!"

"Can anyone tell me how this company, which has been established for less than 15 years, has come step by step to this day?"

"Walton Pictures seems to have been buying and buying. Since buying Marvel, it has successively bought DreamWorks, Lucas Pictures, etc., and now it has bought 20th Century Fox in its hands. That's so shocking!”

"So, can you keep making money?"

"No! You are all wrong! It is because this company has been producing high-quality film works that it has more strength and resources to buy..."

There are constant discussions on the Internet, and so is the reality.

When the new Warner Bros.'s first female CEO Ann Sarnov came to visit the crew of "Aquaman" at DC Pictures, he talked about Walton Pictures with DC Pictures president Jeff Jones.

The former said with confidence: "I finally understand why "The Story of Water" lost to "Manchester by the Sea". It turns out that the owners behind them are the same."

Jeff Jones was amazed: "It's really incredible that Walton Pictures has successfully acquired 20th Century Fox? This is too exaggerated!"

Previously, under the leadership of Kevin Tsujihara, Warner Pictures has always appeared as a rival to Walton Pictures.

After all, the two companies control DC and Marvel respectively, which can be said to be the "opponent".

And now, even though Kevin Tsujihara has been fired, the status quo has not changed.

DC and Marvel are still rivals, even a hundred years later!

But because of this, in the face of Walton Pictures' continuous upward development, both Jeff Jones and Ann Sarnov have performed extremely cautiously.

However, in a short period of time, both sides will definitely not go to war, because both Warner and DC need to continue to accumulate strength.

"How is the situation here on "Aquaman"?"

After the visit, Ann Sarnov directly asked about the specific situation of Jeff Jones' new project.

The latter naturally knew the projects he followed up with, and immediately blurted out: "The main filming of the film has been completed, and we are currently following up on the post-production of the film and a small amount of re-shooting work.

We are preparing to schedule it to be officially released in North America on December 21 this year, and will be the first to launch the release in the Chinese market on December 7..."

On December 21, the appearance of this date means that "Aquaman" is heading for the Christmas schedule.

Ann Sarnov did not object to the launch of the screening plan in the Chinese market in advance.

As we all know, except North America, the country that loves superhero-themed movies the most is that great Eastern country.

And judging from the previous feedback, as long as the quality of the movie is not a problem, you can usually achieve a good box office result in China.

But the only thing that made Ann Sarnov a little worried is that the Christmas schedule will not collide with Marvel's new work, right?

Faced with her concerns, Jeff Jones said: "Based on the current known situation, Marvel has not released any new works during this period, and our concerns are not true."

"That's good."

Ann Sarnov breathed a sigh of relief, chatted with Jeff Jones for a moment, then left DC and started back towards Warner.

After confirming that there is no problem with "Aquaman", she will have to urge other movie projects on Warner next.

During Kevin Tsujihara's tenure as the president of Warner Bros., the company's performance has not been very good.

Now that she, the first female president of Warner, has successfully taken office under the foundation of the "Women's Rights Movement", she naturally has to make some achievements and demonstrate her abilities.

Moreover, Walton Pictures is becoming more and more powerful. If Warner doesn't do anything, it will probably fall to a very embarrassing level later.

...

"Fei, Disney, Universal, Paramount, Sony Columbia, Warner Bros. and other companies have sent us congratulatory letters one after another. I think it is necessary for us to hold a grand celebration banquet for this!"

At Walton Pictures, Natasha came to Chen Fei's office excitedly and told him about the current response from the outside world.

Twentieth Century Fox was acquired, and Hollywood's six major re-ranked... Although Walton Pictures has been in less than 15 years since its establishment, it has become one of the "giants" in Hollywood!

"It's true that we should hold a celebration banquet, so you can arrange it."

Chen Fei agreed without thinking too much.

The word "low-key" does not apply to Hollywood. You must be high-profile here to make the outside world realize that you are not easy to bully.

Especially film and television companies, if they are a coward, they will have no foundation to establish themselves.

Therefore, appropriate high-profile is the best way to deal with external snooping!

"Oh, by the way, after the celebration banquet, I have to go to Atlanta to complete the filming of "Avengers 4", and all the affairs in Los Angeles will be left to you."

"Okay, I'll do it."

Natasha understood what Chen Fei was talking about, it was nothing more than the publicity work in the early stage of the release of "Avengers 3".

The film has been scheduled to be released and will be screened in the North American theater market on April 27, two months later, and then gradually extend to the world.

As one of Walton Pictures’ most critical film projects this year, it naturally needs to be followed by Natasha himself.

Before leaving, she also informed Chen Fei of the official launch of the movie "The No. 1 Player" in the North American theater market.

After more than 100 days of release, this "Dream Realization Work" directed by Chen Fei won a box office of US$550 million in North America.

In the global theater market, the total box office of this movie has exceeded US$1.3 billion!

Of course, the box office revenue of theaters is just a small head. The real big head is the revenue of various copyrights, IP development, and the "No. 1 Player Fantasy Theme Park". This is where you can really make a lot of money!

…

It was soon evening, and in the banquet hall of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Hollywood celebrities, stars and funders were all present, witnessing Walton Pictures' feat of acquiring 20th Century Fox!

Chen Fei even met Rupert Murdoch, the "World Press Tycoon" who is 87 years old this year.

Although the old man is not young, his physical condition is pretty good. He can still walk with a crutch and does not need help from others.

Chen Fei came forward and chatted with him for a few words, expressed his concern to him a little, and at the same time revealed his idea of ​​acquiring the "News Group" he controlled.

Unfortunately, although the old man is old, he is very sane and has no idea of ​​selling News Corporation.

As the foundation of the Murdoch family's foothold in North America, News Corporation is really important to him!

If you buy this "big killing weapon", the Murdoch family will be ruined in a blink of an eye.

Although Chen Fei was a little regretful, he did not force him.

News Group can't get it, so there is still Twitter.

The traditional media industry has always been deeply rooted. He, an outsider, cannot interfere at all, and can only choose to cooperate with them.

But if he can get Twitter, coupled with TikTok, which has gradually become popular all over the world, he is fully confident that he can always stand on the periphery of public opinion and not be deceived by anyone!

As for Musk, let him play his "Mars Plan" first. Twitter is destined to be out of reach for him in this life.

...

As the night became darker abroad, the sky was completely bright at this time.

"Walton Pictures acquired most of Fox's entertainment assets (including film and television departments) for $66.7 billion, becoming one of the largest mergers and acquisitions in Hollywood history!"

"Fox's copyrights such as "X-Men", "Fantasy Four", "Deadpool" will return to Marvel, and foreign fans are hotly discussing how these characters will be integrated into the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)..."

"Walton Pictures has successfully achieved full control of Hulu through the acquisition of 30% of Fox's shares, and the competition with Netflix's streaming media may be even more intense!"

"After Fox Pictures merged into Walton Pictures, the six traditional Hollywood giants have been reshuffled, and the global film market may undergo major changes!"

"The copyright of the "Avatar" series held by Fox has been officially handed over to Walton Pictures, and the subsequent films will be released by Walton Pictures, while promoting the expansion of the "No. 1 Player Fantasy Theme" paradise."

"As the chief content executive of Walton Pictures, director Chen Fei's personal assets have once again surged, and the latest Hurun Global Rich List has included it in the top ten!"

A new day has arrived, and domestic time has entered March 12.

Early in the morning, the entire film and television industry and even the entertainment industry fell into huge heated discussions and had not stopped for a long time.

"Oh my goodness? Walton Pictures acquired Twentieth Century Fox? Is this too awesome, right?"

"Tsk tsk, no wonder "Manchester by the Sea" can beat "Story of Water". The latter's behind-the-scenes production companies were acquired by the former, so it would be strange if they couldn't win."

"I've already said the word envy of the two things..."

"Hurun's top ten global rich list? Oh my goodness, Director Chen is so awesome!"

"Doesn't this mean that Director Chen's influence in Hollywood is getting bigger and bigger? I really envy those who are Feiyue Film and Television. It will become easy to develop in Hollywood in the future."

“…”

There are constant heated discussions inside and outside the circle, and the bosses of major domestic film and television companies are envious of this.

"Mr. Chen's influence in Hollywood is getting bigger and bigger. I don't know if Happy Twist can use his big ship to go to Hollywood for a few laps."

In the post-production studio of "Li Cha's Aunt", Zhang Chen couldn't help but mutter.

Song Yang, who was standing by, quickly flattered: "It must be possible, Happy Twist will definitely get better and better! After all, our company has Feiyue Film and Television participated in the investment. Director Chen will not let us die, right?"

Zhang Chen was happy when he heard this, but then he looked at some sadness at some of the films of "Li Cha's Aunt".

"Can you really succeed in using this movie to sprint for this year's National Day?"

"I think it's OK, just like last year's "Shameful Iron Fist", this National Day holiday will inevitably become another 'Civilian' moment when Happy Twist shines in the film and television industry again!"

Hearing these words, Zhang Chen thought for a while, without hesitation, and directly ordered, "Okay, then listen to you, just go to the National Day holiday."

He had already made a decision in his mind.

Since "The Shameful Iron Fist" chose to go to the National Day, then the "The Richest Man in Xihong City" that will be completed soon will be arranged to go to the summer vacation.

So far, the only "blockbusters" that have been announced to be scheduled for this summer vacation are "A Good Show" directed by Huang Bo and Jiang Wen's "Evil Is Not Suppressing the Righteousness".

From this point of view, the competition this summer should not be too great. "The Richest Man in Xihong City" will definitely have a relatively impressive performance after going there.

Shen Teng + Ma Li, this pair has become the "king bomb" lineup of Happy Twist!

At the same time, affected by the new news from Hollywood and the expansion of Chen Fei's wealth pool, many mainland film and television companies have launched new film and television project plans, intending to strengthen the territory of their own companies to the outside world Expand a wave.

Bona approached Han Han and targeted his new movie script "Flying Life".

Xinli Media once again focused on youth-themed movies, and cooperated with Chen Yushan to launch the youth-love-themed movie "A Kiss to Fell in Love".

The news of the establishment of "Sader Than Sadness" came from Wanwan, and the news that the script of "Youth" with youth theme movie "Youth" was about to be finished...

In addition, the project "My Motherland and Me" launched by Alibaba Pictures is also progressing steadily.

For a moment, the Chinese film and television industry became more and more lively!

At this moment, China Film announced the latest batch of Hollywood imported blockbusters.

Among them, the news that "Avengers 3" will be scheduled for May 11, and "Jurassic World 2" will be scheduled for release in the mainland on June 15 has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many mainland film and television companies.

Following closely behind is Feiyue Film and Television’s announcement that “Super Time and Space Cohabitation” will be scheduled for April 29 to participate in the May Day competition.

On the other hand, Ning Ying officially announced that "Asura" will be released on July 13 and will participate in the box office role during the summer vacation.

Subsequently, many movies directed and starred by Xiao Shenyang, "The Insects Crossing the River", "Die Renjie: The Four Heavenly Kings" produced by Huayi, and "Shadow" that has ended its post-production work have been released.

Even many TV series joined in the fun, and the launch time was announced one after another in the following days.

"Fuyao", "Two million students in their class", "The Night of the Night", "The Song of Heaven", "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace"...

For a moment, the Chinese-language film and television industry seemed to be in a state of "explosion"!

At the same time, Cai Xukun officially ushered in the appearance in the variety show circle.

"Hello, everyone, I am Cai Xukun, a personal trainee who has been training for two and a half years. I like singing, dancing, rap, basketball, music..."

When Chen Fei saw this video that went viral on Weibo at the shooting site of "Avengers 4" in Atlanta, he almost burst out laughing!

As expected of Kun Kun, once he appeared, he immediately became the subject of hot discussion and topic on the entire network.

Even Fan Chenchen, who was rumored to be Fan Bingbing's "illegitimate child", was not as popular as Kun Kun who played basketball in suspenders.

"The peak produces false supporters, and the dusk witnesses true believers..."

Chen Fei couldn't help but blurt out a quote that had already gone viral on the Internet before his rebirth.

Unfortunately, this was heard by Kevin Feich who passed by him.

"Fei, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, let's prepare for the next stage of filming."

Chen Fei shook his head and threw all the information about "ikun" out of his mind.

He set a shooting time of 4 months for this movie, which means it must be completed before mid-July.

It just so happens that Liu Yifei's due date is in this period. After finishing work, she can almost see her future child.
