Because of the different focus of the industry, even if it owns a+e TV network, Disney TV station and other newspapers and magazines, Walt Disney is still weaker in traditional media than Time Warner and News Group. Moreover, in today's current situation where traditional media has been almost divided up, it is difficult for Disney to catch up in a short period of time. ()

What is the most powerful media in the future? This problem is unusually obvious to Ryan.

In addition to its stable position in traditional media, Disney has been expanding its military presence in the Internet in recent years. Not only has close cooperative relations with Google, Yahoo, Apple, etc., its subordinate Yutube is also the largest online video website in the United States. In the first quarter financial statements released by Disney this year, this video website finally reached a balance of revenue and expenditure for the first time.

Twitter and Facebook can be said to be an important step for Disney to improve its network system.

Of course, while Disney is expanding, there are not without threats. Other companies are also targeting Disney's subsidiaries and even the entire group.

Just in the first half of this year, Google, which already dominated the Internet search, tried to buy the yutube website from Disney. At that time, Ryan stated that he could agree to their acquisition, but proposed a condition that Google shares must be exchanged.

Everyone knows that Ryan is not short of money, and Google finally gave up on this plan.

In recent years, Ryan has been holding 20% ​​of Google's shares in his hands. Both the founders of Google and the shareholders of Wall Street are not fools. If his shares continue to increase and rely on Disney's terrifying ability to make money, Google may not be able to become a holding subsidiary of Walt Disney.

In fact, Ryan really wanted to do this, but he understood that in this way, his good relationship with the Wall Street Jewish Group would inevitably break down and the acquisition might not be successful. The final result was more than 80% of the loss.

He is now Google's largest individual shareholder and has enough voice on the board of directors. There is no need to end up fighting a horrible thing like Wall Street alone. Just think about it.

Besides, in a few years, those vampires will need the strong support of the media group and can win enough benefits for themselves.

In addition to Google, another threat comes from Conscart.

Just in May, Comcast Group announced that it would use a price of 86 billion US dollars to buy Walt Disney Company. It shocked the whole United States at that time and made many people almost laugh because Conscart's market value is not 86 billion US dollars. What do they use to raise funds?

Also, the federal government will definitely not allow two top five media groups in the United States to merge.

Facts also prove that Conscart does have other purposes. They shouted that the acquisition of Disney was just a smoke bomb, and their actual target was Disney's extremely profitable espn TV station's extremely sports business.

However, Disney in this life is not Disney that was bothered with internal and external troubles before Michael Eisner stepped down in his previous life. Conscart just tried to get in touch with Disney's management and then took the initiative to retreat.

These large groups, like Coca-Cola and Pepsi, maintain a certain tacit understanding in the competition, and will not launch a life-and-death battle, not to mention that Disney, Viacom, Time Warner and News Corp. If they are counter-stop, they may be the one who is divided.

You should know that the wired and network service business in Conscart's hands is far more attractive to traditional media groups than the film and television industry-centered businesses in Disney.

This is a country that advocates free competition. Competition in business can never be avoided.

With the arrival of the Independence Day holiday, the weekends around the forefront have become a period of competition for many films. The most eye-catching ones are the releases of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Coffin" and "World War".

After waiting for more than a year, the fans of "Pirates of the Caribbean" finally welcomed Captain Jack Sparrow's sail. After using "The Hunger Games" to dominate the box office in June, the Disney-produced film once again won the battle.

The premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Soul Coffin" is still placed in Disneyland, Los Angeles, California. The film started painting in North America with 4,133 theaters. It won a North American box office of $135.63 million in three days on the first week, successfully reaching the box office rankings.

Just like the handover of the relay race, when the Hunger Games North American box office was approaching $400 million and gradually stagnated, Disney released a big production in a timely manner, rushing around in the summer season.

This film is indeed powerful. Not only did it top the North American box office championship for two consecutive weeks, it also took only 14 days to save $286.68 million from North America, which is definitely a veritable money-making tool.

It was not until Spielberg's "War of the World" was released the next week that there were competitors in the film market that could truly compete with "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Coffin".

The old Jewish man teamed up with Leonardo DiCaprio's remake of science fiction film, which drove "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Soul Coffin" out of the box office championship with $77.06 million from 3,908 theaters in the first week; the latter's performance in the three days of this weekend was still strong, with a box office of $35.21 million, which put the film's North American box office to the mark of $300 million, reaching $321.89 million.

The movie that can compete with The Hunger Games for the annual box office championship has appeared, but this is still a Disney movie.

"If you only talk about the profitability of movies," Spielgberg looked at the faintly visible golden beach and said to Ryan, "No company in the world can compare with Disney."

Shrugging elegantly, Ryan stood on the green lawn, posing in a standard hitting position, swung the club in his hand vigorously, and the white golf ball flew high, drawing a wonderful parabola, landing beside the pond.

"Damn it's so bad." Ryan complained, the shot was quite out of standard.

"Stephen, Ryan."

Nicole drove the electric car and parked near them, "Do you need me to take you over?"

"I am honored."

Spielberg smiled and got on the electric car. After Ryan packed up the clubs, he sat next to the old Jewish man.

"Stephen." Ryan raised the topic just now, "You really plan to sell DreamWorks?"

After sighing a long time, Spielberg helped his eyes and nodded heavily, "It's true."

"Interested, Ryan?" he asked back.

“There are enough film companies under Disney.”

Judging from DreamWorks' current debt-ridden situation, the final price will definitely not exceed $2 billion. Although this money is nothing to Ryan, there are many classic films missing in the DreamWorks library in this life. The future Transformers series is in his hands, which is indeed difficult to attract him.

However, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox are still very interested in DreamWorks.

The electric car quickly stopped by the pond. Ryan jumped out of the car, used another three shots, and finally completed the hole with four strokes above par.

"Do you continue?" asked Nicole, who temporarily acted as a driver.

"Let's go back to the rest area." Spielberg shook his head, "I'm old and I feel tired after exercising for a while."

Ryan took Nicole's driver's seat and drove the battery car back to the rest area by the sea. The three of them found a small table and sat under a large sun umbrella, enjoying the cool sea breeze and savoring the best coffee provided by the club.

After chatting for a few words, the topic gradually changed to "Jurassic Park 3", which is about to officially begin.

“The location is still Lanai.”

This location where the second part of the filming is now Ryan's private property, and it is definitely the most suitable place to shoot. "Kate is still your assistant. Disney contacted Stan Winston. He has finished the model production of "Iron Man" and will then be transferred to the crew. We will still hand the special effects to Industrial Light Magic."

"Can I recommend an actor?" The script had long been handed over to Spielberg.

"Stephen, if you want, just enable it." According to Spielberg's meaning, he should not be the protagonist.

"A godson for me." Spielberg saw Ryan's a little confused and added, "In fact, he has been playing small roles over the years. His acting skills and image are guaranteed to meet the requirements of Dr. Glen's students..."

"No problem." Ryan understood. He was probably talking about Shia LaBeouf. "I will have someone discuss a contract with him."

As we all know, Spielberg has three star goddaughters in Hollywood, Drew Barrymore, Gwyneth Paltrow and Catherine Zeta Jones. In addition, there is also a godchild, namely Shia LaBeouf.

In general, the old man is quite good at teaching girls and children.

If Spielberg hadn't been the producer in his previous life, would Shia LaBeouf win the male lead in "Transformers"?

However, this life is not necessarily the case. Ryan plans to hold a large-scale audition for the male and female protagonists, which is part of the entire publicity plan. He once asked Scarlett Johnson, but the fat girl obviously has a pure vase that is completely a decorative role and is not interested in characters without any technical content.

As for whether the final heroine will fall on the head of the fox, it depends on whether she will come to the audition.

Anyway, it is enough to find a vase with basic acting skills and sexy and beautiful roles in this kind of role.

Maybe you can find an angel from Victoria's Secret to play the leading actress?

On the way to Beverly Hills, Ryan was still considering this issue, which is a typical win-win situation.
