The Precidio District of San Francisco is located here. The Letterman Digital Art Center was newly built in 2005.

The company was founded in 1971 by George Lucas, the most famous of which is the Star Wars series, but it also has other major productions, such as the Indiana Jones series and American style paintings.

Lucasfilm is an industry leader in visual effects, sound effects and computer animation in the film industry.

But now, Lucasfilm is facing a turning point because George Lucas, the company's founder and actual controller, has decided to retire and sell his shares in Lucasfilm.

Lucasfilm executives have been hesitating in recent months. Even George Lucas is no exception. After all, the decision to sell the company is good, but selling a good price is not easy.

"Tell me."

In the conference room, George Lucas slowly spoke, "I've been talking for so long, what do you think?"

Michael Zhou, who serves as chief operating officer, said: "In terms of contact with Relativity Entertainment, they are very sincere and willing to take over Lucasfilm in full and ensure the stability of Lucasfilm."

The people next to him echoed: "Ronan Anderson is Hollywood's best film operator at present, and he has the ability to continue leading Lucasfilm forward."

This is also in line with George Lucas's intentions.

Someone answered another question: "The initial offer of Relativity Entertainment's $3.6 billion US dollars is also above our bottom line, and this is the first offer, and there are still some discussions later."

George Lucas nodded slowly. Ronan's offer was reasonable. The two sides had to negotiate formally later, and $3.6 billion was not the final price.

The president Jones Kent, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "I received an offer from the acquisition, and 20th Century Fox expressed strong interest."

Everyone else looked at Jones Kent, who took a file bag and asked the assistants to send it to every executive in the venue, and said: "Jim Prous of Twentieth Century Fox called me personally and sent me an official letter."

George Lucas picked up the file and browsed it briefly, without any intention of opening it.

"Twentieth Century Fox?" Michael Zhou was full of doubts: "Don't they want to acquire Time Warner? Why are they suddenly interested in Lucasfilm?"

Jones Kent smiled and said, "It's not surprising that Lucasfilm has cooperated with 20th Century Fox. The Star Wars series of movies are all released by 20th Century Fox. Both parties have common interests and a good foundation for cooperation. If they become one, they will maximize their advantages."

This statement aroused many people's thoughts, after all, Lucasfilm and Twentieth Century Fox have been working together for nearly 30 years.

"But Twentieth Century Fox is in bad condition recently." Michael Zhou said what he knew: "The acquisition of Time Warner failed and paid a considerable price. Twentieth Century Fox..."

He looked at Jones Kent: "Do they still have enough funds to acquire Lucasfilm? What shareholders want is cash, not a contract that can only be fulfilled in the future."

Jones Kent secretly glanced at George Lucas, saw that he was still browsing the documents, and said: "Enrolling Twentieth Century Fox, even if they are not strong enough, also gives Relativity Entertainment another competitor, which can win more favorable conditions for Lucasfilm."

Regardless of anything else, let’s put the 20th Century Fox in the field first. James Murdoch promised that 20th Century Fox had a way to make the relativity entertainment retreat.

Jones Kent said: "I suggest establishing a communication channel with 20th Century Fox on this matter, and making it public when appropriate, and putting pressure on relativistic entertainment."

This is in the interests of everyone here and no one objected.

After some discussion, George Lucas said: "You are responsible for the specific operation. I only emphasize one thing: if the bid is similar, our first choice is still relativistic entertainment."

If the price is too high, he will also consider it for the entire Lucasfilm.

Lucasfilm soon ended its meeting, and related news soon appeared on the desk of Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan and Robert Iger convened a meeting of personnel, but did not do anything at the moment. It involved such a huge acquisition case. Patience is a must-have quality, and impatientness often backfires.

Moreover, the secret investigations in the UK and the United States have never stopped. Relativity Entertainment is waiting for a better opportunity, and judging from the information feedback from all aspects, opportunities will soon appear.

But as far as Lucasfilm is concerned, relativistic entertainment has huge advantages, especially in terms of capital.

The team of Relativity Entertainment is also appropriately increasing its bargaining chips. This acquisition case is ultimately a matter of money.

Thanksgiving is coming, and this is also a period when films are released in the North American film market. Walt Disney's family celebration "Thunder Fighter", 20th Century Fox's blockbuster "Australia" and Lionsgate's "Extraordinary Human Trafficking 3" were all chosen to open the painting this weekend before Thanksgiving.

"Thunder Fighting the Dog" is the first computer animation feature film since Disney Animation Studio announced the withdrawal of the hand-painted animation department, which determines the future development of Disney Animation.

"Australia" is not the dragon ball given to 20th Century Fox by Ronan. They seem to be very superstitious about Nicole Kidman's fame and appeal. Driven by Caa's Pat Kingsley, Nicole Kidman and Wolf Hugh Jackman were invested 130 million US dollars to create this Australian version of "Gone with the Wind".

Needless to say, "Extraordinary Human Trafficking 3", imported from France, and the masterpiece of Guo Da Statham, a prosperous and beautiful woman.

At the same time, Relativity Entertainment also has a movie released this weekend, starring Gal Gadot.

This weekend, except for "Extraordinary Trafficking 3" which is very weak, the other three films seem to have certain competitiveness.

Among them, Relativity Entertainment has the lowest investment, with the production cost of "The Hunger Games" only $60 million.

But with the momentum of "Twilight" and the fame that Lindsay Bill has long been opened up, and the huge book fans attracted by the original work, this dystopian youth idol film has attracted the most attention.

Compared to the previous movie, Lindsay Bill, as the producer, strengthened the action scenes at Ronan's suggestion, and director Patty Judges's action scenes is not a weakness.

Next, the heroine's role is enhanced and she becomes the absolute protagonist.

The 360-degree appearance without blind spots and the super long-legged archery shot are also full of highlights.

In the words of movie fans, Katniss is indeed a great surprise in the film, with good looks, legs and good characters!

Gal Gadot also signed a long contract with Relativity Entertainment, and there is still a long time to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment.

Compared with ordinary Hollywood actresses, Gal Gadot has a longer shelf life in appearance and appearance, and it is not a problem to play the role of the girl Katniss.

The biggest problem with my former cousin is that she is too mature. After all, Katniss is a 16-year-old girl. Perhaps because of the deep development of many people, Katniss who starred in Katniss said that she was twenty-five years old and believed it.

White actresses like Big Cousin are very mature at around 20 years old. It is a bit difficult to say that they are fifteen or sixteen years old.

This is a helpless thing. Actors of fifteen or sixteen are often the most embarrassing group in Hollywood. Just like many female stars who have been playing heroines until they are about 40 years old, they are reluctant to step down to the supporting actress position, and they can take on very few roles.

Actors of this age, especially actresses, face very complicated situations. Playing roles younger than their actual age, there are too many cute girl stars in Hollywood who are more competitive than them; playing roles older than them is basically impossible; even if they play roles that match their own age, they have to face competition among actresses in their 18 or 19 or even early 20s, and the latter has much advantage over them in their performance and mentality.

The content of the movie is also easily accepted by American audiences, simple and clear, and has the nature of a youthful idol.

In the future North America, the Kingdom of Panam was built on a ruin, with its center Capita located in the center of twelve districts.

Every year, the twelve districts are forced to send one boy and girl aged 12 to 18 to Capitol as a "tribute" to participate in the "Hunger Games".

This is a cruel and terrible competition between life and death. All tributes must be fought until death. The last survivor is the winner.

Survival is the instinct of 16-year-old Katniss. She relies on poaching outside the fence of District 12, collecting wild fruits to support her mother, sister and herself. When Katniss participates in the Hunger Games instead of her sister who won the "life and death lottery", she understands that this means death to her. If she wants to survive, she must choose between human nature and survival, death and love.

Whether it is a movie, it is very similar to the island country's "Battle Royale". After the movie was released on a large scale in the international market, the media on the island country were inevitably talking and bombarding.

But just like the Lionsgate Films used to be, Relativity Entertainment doesn't care at all, and the other party can't win a multinational lawsuit.

Copyright is very important among Hollywood companies, even with other companies in North America or the Western world, but the style outside this range is a bit overbearing.

For example, in the country of origin of "Battle Royale", how many movies in Hollywood have been discussed plagiarizing their anime or other literary works, but few people there initiate copyright lawsuits, and even if someone commits a copyright lawsuit, it is difficult to win.

It can be said that in countries and regions not within the circles designated by Hollywood, Hollywood's rules of the game do not consider them at all.
