Chapter 1024 Yang Ming Re-Splitting MGM United Artists

Chapter 1024 Yang Ming split MGM-United Artists into two movie giants!

Los Angeles.

Beverly Hills Villa.

Yang Ming and Las Vegas tycoon Kerkorian agreed to acquire MGM-United Artists, and the rest of Yang Ming was handed over to Yuan Tianfan and the staff of Future Capital.

He and Azhu and others left Las Vegas.

For some people, Las Vegas is a paradise. However, for Yang Ming, staying there is really not as comfortable as staying in Los Angeles.

At this time, the temperature in Los Angeles is only about 20 degrees Celsius during the day, which is the most comfortable time, but the highest temperature in Las Vegas during the day is as high as 45 degrees Celsius, which is not the same world at all.

The news that the Empire Group officially acquired MGM-United Artists has spread all over the world.

M country, all over the world, especially Hong Kong, and even China were very shocked to hear this news, while Yang Ming was considering what to do next after the acquisition.

MGM and United Artists were both one of the eight giants of Hollywood movies.

However, in 1981, MGM completely acquired United Artists, merged the two companies, and then optimized internal resources.

In Yang Ming's opinion, it is still a pity.

Historically, MGM has always been the overlord among Hollywood movie giants. If it had not been suppressed by the United States and capital, MGM would have always been.

As for United Artists, it is also very complicated.

In 1919, United Artists was funded and founded by Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and David Griffith.

The purpose was to get rid of the constraints and exploitation of big movie companies and strive for more creative freedom and greater profits. The original idea was to only shoot and distribute the works of the four founders.

Later, because Griffith withdrew, the number of works by Chaplin, Fairbanks and others was limited, so the company made funding independent producers to shoot and distribute their films as its business focus.

Even so, United Artists was just a small company when it was founded in New York. From the 1920s to the mid-1930s, it gradually developed into one of the eight major companies in the American film industry.

At this time, MGM and United Artists were united, which was equivalent to the Empire Group spending one dollar to swallow up two Hollywood film giants.

In 1969, Krikorian fully acquired MGM. But Krikorian seemed to be more interested in the real estate owned by MGM. He even closed MGM's distribution department in 1973 and handed over the distribution affairs to United Artists.

In 1979, Krikorian announced that MGM had become a hotel company.

All MGM hotels, including the later MGM Macau and MGM Grand Las Vegas, are casino hotels under MGM International Hotels Group, and their founder Krikorian's MGM Hotels Group is the owner.

This time, the Empire Group acquired MGM-United Artists, and this MGM Group was not included.

If it was included, the acquisition price might be higher.

In addition to MGM Hotels, which still belonged to Krikorian.

There are many company brands under MGM-United Artists, but some of them are not so well-known.

Yang Ming stood in front of the study window of the Beverly Hills villa and looked outside.

. . .

One week later.

Yuan Tianfan and Future Capital Company have completely negotiated with Krikorian's company to acquire MGM-United Artists.

Except for MGM Hotel Group, Krikorian is unwilling to give this to Empire Group.

Of course, Yang Ming also knows that the tallest MGM Hotel in Las Vegas is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. How could Krikorian give it to Empire Group?

Moreover.

In addition to using it to launder money, Krikorian's acquisition of MGM-United Artists is most importantly to use MGM's popularity to build his hotel industry.

"Boss, Mr. Kirk is unwilling to give the name of MGM Hotel back to us. He is unwilling to sell the ownership of MGM Hotel to us, nor is he willing to let the hotel change its name."

"Tianfan, this is inevitable. Of course, MGM Hotel has a good name. Even if the other party is unwilling to change it or sell it to us, we can still build MGM Hotel."

Yang Ming and his team also built MGM Hotel?

At this time, the Empire Group already has many five-star hotel brands. The most famous one in Hong Kong is of course the Oriental Mandarin. The Empire Group also established the Empire Hotel in the Empire Group Building, which is still built according to the seven-star standard.

In addition to these, Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, Wheelock and others all have their own five-star hotels.

However, Yang Ming knows that the global hotel industry will also develop better and better in the future.

A name like MGM obviously has an innate advantage.

And this time, the most important thing is to swallow up MGM first-United Artists.

"Tian Fan, I plan to split MGM and United Artists again and let the two companies form independent film companies."

Split again?

Originally, MGM and United Artists were independent film companies, but they merged after MGM acquired United Artists.

Historically, MGM and United Artists split again, and even later, Tom Cruise and his partners invested in United Artists to acquire United Artists from MGM.

From the original merger, MGM-United Artists did not optimize resources, but dragged each other down.

If they are split again.

The two film companies can shoot according to their own different characteristics and gain more market.

Yuan Tianfan also strongly agrees to split MGM and United Artists again.

"Boss, I agree very much." Yuan Tianfan said.

If MGM-United Artists is split again.

It means that Hollywood film companies will become MGM and United Artists again, although the bosses of these two companies are now Empire Group and Yang Ming.

However, after the split again, they will be financially independent, market independent, and many internal things will also be independent.

In addition.

Before acquiring Marvel Comics, Yang Ming had promised Stan Lee to establish Marvel Films.

In addition to these.

Yang Ming is also preparing to set up DreamWorks in advance. This company, like in history, focuses on animation TV series, animation movies, etc.

In addition, Yang Ming also asked people to prepare to set up Netflix.

Although the conditions for Netflix to be established are not yet met, Yang Ming knows that in a few years at most, after the emergence of a large number of DVDs, VCDs, and even the Internet, Netflix will play an important role.

In other words.

According to Yang Ming's plan, he is in the important film and television markets in Hollywood and North America.

Among them, including MGM, United Artists, Marvel Studios, DreamWorks, and Netflix.

In addition to these five giants.

Yang Ming plans to take the IP in Marvel Comics and give it to MGM, United Artists, Marvel Studios, DreamWorks, etc. for independent development or joint development.
