1091. Another big deal
Wang Yifan had predicted before that Ali Media would definitely not give up on its globalization strategy.
Because Imperial Cinemas have acquired all of them. Although Ali Media has money, it is not too much money to burn it.
Everything they do is purposeful and very purposeful.
In fact, Ali’s entry point is very good. Their initial idea was very simple. In China, the pattern has actually been relatively solidified.
Although it has not solidified like Hollywood, it is actually difficult to break the situation from the inside.
Facts proved that Ah Li was right.
There are many strong situations in China, and it will be difficult to change at least in a short period of time.
Huaxin is far ahead in content, and no one can shake this point.
Although Ah Li has money, she fails to invest in movies once, twice, or three times, and maybe nothing is it, they can lose money.
But it was a huge blow to Ali Media's reputation.
In fact, why Ah Li entered the film and television industry is not because it is profitable. No matter how much he says, it is still the purpose in the end.
No matter what it means to improve the industrial chain, or ecology, moats, etc.
In the end, I still can't escape the word "interest"!
The current losses are just to make better regain in the future.
However, since the domestic side cannot break the deadlock in a short period of time, if Ali Media wants to break the deadlock, it can only go from the outside to the inside.
So, the globalization strategy came out.
But the first shot was dumb.
But Ali Media had to fire the arrow on the string.
Since we cannot let domestic movies go out, let foreign movies come in.
Of course, they will definitely not do things without profit.
So, soon, after Ali spent a huge amount of money to acquire the world's second largest theater chain and the Imperial theater chain, Ali once again made a shocking big deal.
Ali Media spent a huge amount of money to acquire famous Hollywood film companies and formed an alliance with the Film Company.
Although the Alliance Film Company is not one of the Hollywood giants, it is also famous in Hollywood.
It can be said that it is the most powerful film company outside of several giants.
It has produced many movies that are well-known to domestic audiences.
This time, although it is not as big as the previous acquisition of Imperial Cinemas.
But the acquisition price also reached US$1.5 billion!
It can be said that it is another huge acquisition.
"Ali Media takes action again, and 10 billion Chinese currency acquires North America's largest independent film company to form an alliance with the Film Company! It aims at Hollywood!"
"Shocked, Ah Li took another move for the globalization strategy, and 10 billion yuan acquired the Alliance Film Company, and the globalization strategy may take another move!"
"Is it a big deal or a failure to build Ali's film globalization strategy for 30 billion yuan? Let's wait and see!"
......
For a time, domestic and foreign media exploded directly.
Of course, it is more of the domestic media.
After all, it has not been long since Ali Media acquired Imperial Cinemas. As a result, Ali Media made another heavy blow after the failure of "Infernal Affairs".
It can be said that in recent years, the film and television industry has really not made such a big deal for a long time.
The two largest acquisitions were all made by Ah Li, and naturally made the media carnival for him!
After the news was reported, the Internet exploded directly!
"Damn it, I'm really a big dog lover!"
"It's another acquisition of nearly 10 billion yuan, it's so rich and inhumane!"
"Not to say anything else, Ah Li's ability to do something big is really unrivaled!"
"Awesome, awesome, awesome, say important things three times!"
“…”
When Cao Meng saw this news, although he was shocked by Ali Media's inhumanity, he was even more impressed by Wang Yifan.
Because Wang Yifan’s previous predictions have become once again.
Cao Meng eventually rejected Ah Li's olive branch and chose to bind him to the light and shadow of the times.
After "Infernal Affairs", Cao Meng even understood.
After all, he is not young, so he quickly realized the reality.
Perhaps in the future, Ah Li may indeed become the leading real super film and television giant in China.
But how long does this take?
Three years, five years, ten years?
Perhaps even if Ah Li really becomes a real existence that surpasses Huaxin, so what?
Actually, it really has nothing to do with him.
Because at that time, he might have already retired from the movie.
It is better to grasp the present than to bet on an uncertain future.
The reason why Cao Meng chose to reject Ali was of course related to Wang Yifan.
Although Wang Yifan did not say it clearly, Cao Meng himself knew that if he tied up with Ali Media and turned to Ali Media, then his cooperation with Wang Yifan would basically be over.
Maybe Ali is not short of money, but in fact, Cao Meng is not short of money either. Perhaps Ali Media can bring more benefits to Cao Meng than Wang Yifan or the times.
But at the age of Cao Meng, a director at this level, to be honest, profit and money are actually not his biggest pursuit.
But what Wang Yifan could give him was something Ali Media could not give him.
For example, a good story, such as a movie that allows Cao Meng to continue to consolidate his position as the number one director in Hong Kong.
Yes, he can understand it. At this stage, it is not realistic to want to go to Hollywood to play wild and conquer North American audiences.
If there is something like that, will Wang Yifan give him Cao Meng?
In terms of closeness and alienation, how could Cao Meng compare with Wang Yifan's direct descendants like Li Mingjuan and Chen Shaojun?
But at least, among the people who are currently working with Wang Yifan, Cao Meng also has irreplaceable attributes, that is, he is a Hong Kong islander and a Hong Kong island director!
Moreover, the key is that Cao Meng is still not so optimistic about Ali Media's step.
Why?
Because co-production of movies is actually not new at all.
But what's the result?
How many successful co-productions are there?
Most of the co-productions end up being a mess!
Is Ali that strong? Perhaps this is true in terms of economic strength, but in terms of content, Ali cannot compare with Wang Yifan at all!
Cao Meng was more watching the fun.
Ali Media, the acquisition of the Alliance Pictures is not the end.
The next action is what everyone pays attention to.
As expected, Ali Media soon announced a package of major plans!
The Alliance Film Company will work with Ali Media to create multiple co-production movies.
As for the director candidate, this time Ali Media is indeed determined to succeed if she fails.
Ali Media announced that the director of the first co-production film after acquiring the Alliance Film Company, the top Hollywood director, the best director of the Academy Awards, and the director of the film directed by the film with a total global box office of over 10 billion US dollars, Jack Curtis!
After this news came out, it could indeed be said to have shocked countless people.
Let me put it this way, Jack Curtis can compare with Steven Spielberg in his previous life.
It can be said that it is an absolute Hollywood big shot.
It is conceivable what price a big man needs to pay to cooperate with him!
Chapter completed!
