After inspecting the Galaxy Film Company, Henry nodded to himself, he was very satisfied. 【..】

Animated films include: Pixar Animation Studios, DreamWorks, Ghibli Animation Studios!

Movie special effects include: Galaxy special effects and Weta Studio!

However, it would be even cooler to add another Industrial Light & Magic in the movie special effects!

Industrial Light & Magic is a subsidiary of Lucasfilm. George Lucas established Lucas Pictures Co., Ltd. in 1971. Its subsidiaries include visual effects "Industrial Light & Magic", post-sound editing "Skywalker Sound Effects" and more!

Special effects blockbusters are to give people an ultimate audiovisual experience, so not only must there be amazing pictures, but also shocking sound effects! Skywalker sound effects are the industry leader, just to make up for the deficiencies of Galaxy Films in this regard!

In addition, Lucasfilm also has two super ips, the first is naturally "Star Wars" and the second is "Indiana Jones".

If Galaxy Films merged with Lucasfilm, its strength would increase sharply!

At this time, Henry looked at Bobby Robin and said: "Robin, you will contact George Lucas and say that Galaxy Pictures wants to acquire Lucas Pictures!"

Hearing this, Bobby Robin was immediately surprised. The market value of Lucas Pictures is more than 3 billion US dollars. This merger plan will be the largest merger in the history of Galaxy Films!

Although there are only two super IPs of Galaxy Film Company-"Jurassic Park" and "Toy Story", they have many well-known movie copyrights, and the IP value of these movies is also expensive! Moreover, there are more copyrights of movies that have not been shot or released, such as "Harry Potter", "Lord of the Rings", "Resident Evil"...

Galaxy Film is one of the largest film distribution companies in the United States and even the world, and it also has more than 3,000 Galaxy stores across the United States! Although the Galaxy Film Company is not listed, it still has a market value of 40 to 50 billion US dollars!

...

George Lucas was surprised when he received the acquisition request from Galaxy Films. He stabilized his mind and paced around the office. Consider whether to accept the acquisition. This time, Galaxy Films expressed its willingness to wholly acquire Lucasfilm for US$500 million and 5% of Galaxy Films shares. If it accepts it, it will become Galaxy Films second only to Henry William in the number of shares held. Major shareholder under Sri Lanka!

Accept it or reject it?

This night. George Lucas did not sleep well, he has been thinking about this problem!

Although Galaxy Film Company has not been established for many years, the speed of development has shocked the world! Moreover, Galaxy Studios is also the most profitable film company in Hollywood! As if they have a pair of discerning eyes that can recognize what movies are hot, most of the movies released are very profitable!

Lucasfilm is just a film production company. There are not many movies produced in a year. Although Industrial Light & Magic is the top special effects company in the industry, it does not receive too many orders every year. Usually the special effects production cycle of a movie is very long, and it is considered very good to be able to complete the special effects work of ten movies in a year!

At present, the investment in a movie is generally tens of millions of dollars. How much can Industrial Light and Magic get? The huge cost of special effects, minus the remuneration of the actors, directors and crew, is not much left. Industrial Light and Magic made a net profit of US$10 million from a movie, which is already a big profit. Normally, a list that can make so much money. Most of them are special effects blockbusters with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, but how many such movies can there be? What's more, Galaxy Special Effects and other special effects companies are also grabbing "meat" to eat!

Regardless of the reputation of Industrial Light and Magic, it is actually not very profitable!

When the entire Lucasfilm industry was sold to Disney, the price was only more than four billion U.S. dollars. And Disney bought Pixar but it cost more than seven billion U.S. dollars!

The next day, George Lucas woke up with a pair of dark circles under his eyes. He thought about it all night last night, and finally decided to accept the acquisition of Galaxy Film Company.

He has studied the management model of Galaxy Film Company, and the development of its subsidiaries are relatively independent. The acquisition of Lucasfilm should also allow Lucasfilm to operate independently. therefore. The right to make a movie is relatively free. At the same time, he became a major shareholder of Galaxy Film Company, so he naturally had a certain right to speak in Galaxy Film Company, and he made much more money than before. Who would have trouble with money?

Once George Lucas has made a decision, he will not procrastinate. After eating breakfast, he called Bobby Robin, CEO of Galaxy Film Company, and told him that he basically agreed to the Galaxy Film Company's acquisition request, but in terms of price. Further discussions are needed!

Bobby Robin then invited George Lucas over the phone to negotiate with Galaxy Films.

Within two days, George Lucas took the negotiating team to the Galaxy Film Company. The speed of the negotiations was very fast. After only two weeks of negotiations, Galaxy Films finally agreed to add another 100 million U.S. dollars to the original offer, that is, to complete the deal with Lucas at 600 million U.S. dollars plus 5% of the company’s shares. The wholly-owned acquisition of the film company!

After the signing of the contract, the two companies jointly held a press conference to announce the merger of the two companies to the outside world.

The negotiations between Galaxy Films and Lucasfilm are secret negotiations, and there has been no news before. The news was announced at this press conference. The reporters felt so suddenly and so shocked that everyone's faces were filled with consternation!

"Mr. Bobby Robin, can you describe the details of Galaxy Films' acquisition of Lucasfilm?"

"Yes," Bobby Robin smiled at the reporter and said slowly, "After two weeks of negotiations, Galaxy Films spent $600 million and 5% of Galaxy Films shares to acquire Lucasfilm. At present, George Lucas has become the second largest shareholder of Galaxy Films and a director of Galaxy Films, and his shareholding is as high as 2.8%. "Although George Lucas controls Lucas Films, he still has Other investors, therefore only got 2.8% of the shares!

"Mr. Lucas, when will the "Star Wars" series of films be filmed? It has been 10 years, and Star Wars fans are very eager for something new!"

George Lucas has been up and down for ten years, and it can be said that he has sharpened his sword in ten years. Now, he has finally finished writing the first part of "Star Wars: The Phantom Crisis", "I have written the script of Star Wars. After Lucasfilm and Galaxy Films complete the resource integration, I will start shooting the new movie!"

Bang bang bang! ! !

There was a wave of applause from the audience, and the flash of the camera did not stop for a moment!

The next day, the front pages of the major newspapers were all about the Galaxy Film Company’s acquisition of Lucasfilm, and the filming of the "Star Wars" series was about to begin!

Star Wars fans who saw the news were immediately ecstatic!

"Great, after ten years of absence, Star Wars has finally returned!"

"Support Star Wars, support George Lucas!"

"Star Wars Classic!!!"

"..."

The response of the major film companies was even more shocking. Galaxy Films has now acquired Lucas Pictures, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger, and it is expected to become the strongest film company in Hollywood...

Disney and Galaxy Film Company are at odds, so I feel most upset to hear this news! And just at this time, their meticulously crafted masterpiece "The Lion King" was finally released!

"The Lion King" swept the box office chart as soon as it was released ~lightnovelpub.net~, and topped the box office weekly chart. Subsequently, the movie box office continued to sell well and became more and more popular!

Disney immediately exulted. Although Pixar animation is fully computer-produced, Disney has proved with its strength that traditional hand-painted animation can also be a big hit at the box office!

At this time, a little lion named "Simba" quickly spread all over the United States, and then spread all over the world! It is naughty, active, kind and brave, and very popular.

"The Lion King" this animation, Henry has seen it in his previous life, it is really good-looking, this is the pinnacle of Disney's traditional animation! However, it has flourished and declined. Under the impact of computer animation, traditional hand-drawn animation has become more and more inadequate.

Disney has the most hand-painted artists in the world. It is very difficult for Disney to easily abandon its strengths! However, regardless of whether Disney makes changes, Galaxy Films, which owns three animation studios: Pixar, DreamWorks, and Ghibli, will definitely be the strongest animation film production company! ! !
