Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

In Hollywood, to a film company of MGM's level, its shares are not so easy to get.

Like the Big Five, most of the shares are in the hands of the group forces behind them, and as part of a complete industrial chain, it is almost impossible to sell.

The second-tier MGM, if you want to start, also have to pay a lot more cash than the stock price.

Unless it is someone like Kevin, who is inseparable from MGM, he can buy shares at a normal price.

In other words, Kevin is actually buying more than 100 million shares worth of $90 million, which is taking advantage of the fire.

Kirk Kercorion stared at Kevin for a long time with a joyful and unpredictable look, until a few minutes later, seeing that Kevin's face was still fearless, and then suddenly laughed, revealing a very kind look.

"Kevin, I believe you, I can sell 10% of the equity directly to you, I can also give 20% of the shares to Warner Bros., of course, yours can be purchased at the current price, Warner must buy at a 1.3 times premium, I value you, not them."

Kevin's face finally showed joy.

Don't look at just 10% of MGM's shares, this is an achievement that countless directors have never achieved in a lifetime.

The success of this step means that he has crossed countless results that directors have never achieved in their lifetimes and has become one of MGM's countless major shareholders.

Since then, his status in Hollywood has been different.

The most basic point is that he can use MGM's connections to win awards for his films, as long as his film level is high enough, no matter what age or other things, it is impossible to stop him.

As the founder of the Oscars, MGM mobilizes contacts and favors, even the Oscars cannot refuse.

If anyone thinks that Oscar is not influenced by the outside world, then Kevin can only say that the person is still too young.

Of course, even MGM, in Kevin's heart, is just a springboard.

In the future, his Sunrise Entertainment will use the resources of MGM and Warner, plus a large number of IPs provided by Marvel, step by step according to the future Disney development route, and become an absolute giant in Hollywood.

But before he can really grow up, he still needs MGM's big umbrella to shield him from the wind and rain...

.....

A day later, he refused Kirk Kercorion's invitation to gamble in his casino, and he Kevin did not share the sky with gambling drugs and would never touch this thing.

The three returned directly to New York.

Rett acts as Kirk Kercorion's contact and goes directly to Warner to negotiate the sale of the shares, while Kevin cleans up assets.

Funds ready to purchase 10% of MGM's shares.

With no premium and the current share price not high, Kevin can get 10% of the shares for a mere $90 million, which is undoubtedly a big profit.

In his memory, ten years later, MGM, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, was able to sell itself for more than three billion dollars.

It's just that MGM is unwilling to sell at this price, so he chose bankruptcy.

And even now, MGM's 10% shares, the real value will at least double, if not for MGM now too much need Kevin, this price would definitely not want to get MGM shares.

Kevin came directly to Sunrise Films.

After a little chatter with the two little sisters at the front desk, listening to their compliments, and taking them out for a good meal, Kevin returned to the company and came to Dawson's office.

"Dawson, how much activity funds does the company currently have, and how much money will come in later?"

Dawson nodded, called out a woman with ordinary looks with glasses that Kevin did not know, and counted it in person.

After some calculation, the glasses woman raised her head and said:

"At present, the company's income is mainly the income from escaping from Desperate Town, and the subsequent sale of copyrights, totaling 61.85 million US dollars, excluding expenses, leaving 58.43 million US dollars."

"In the follow-up, the current North American box office has reached 150 million, and there are still one to two weeks before it goes offline, and it is expected that the North American box office will be about 160 million, and the company's revenue will be about 30 million."

"The subsequent overseas box office share should be relatively large, and it is expected that hundreds of millions of dollars may be received, as well as subsequent copyright income..."

Kevin interrupted.

"Enough, so it seems that after the release of Mission Impossible, my funds will be enough."

The eye woman held her eyes and said

, "BOSS, you will have to pay taxes in April, after the operation of charitable funds and other aspects, you only need to pay about 15% of your income for the year, but this money is best reserved in advance..."

Kevin then patted his head.

I almost forgot about this, in the United States, the tax office is the boss, what FBI, what S.H.I.E.L.D. compares to it, it is all small garbage.

The tax office is a force with an independent armed force.

No matter how rich the rich are, once it comes to tax evasion, the tax bureau will not buy it.

Reasonable tax avoidance is okay, tax evasion and tax evasion, no!

Kevin didn't have the guts to take on the tax office.

As for more tax avoidance methods, some are impossible for film companies to use, and they can't be lowered for the time being, and they need to hire professionals to study it later.

In this way, there is still a certain gap in his hand, Kevin silently calculated.

However, this matter is not urgent, and he can delay the payment for several months.

What he cares about now is how Mr. Reite and Time Warner negotiated.

.....

On the other side, Reiter and Robinoff were chatting happily in Warner's president's office drinking coffee.

Robinoff pondered Ret's words, somewhat moved.

The most valuable thing of the film company is actually their film library, and MGM, as the oldest film company, the number of movies in the library is not too much, which is valuable in the hands of Time Warner.

At this point, you only need to invest 20% of the shares to be able to use their film library, although you also have to pay, but it is still a profitable transaction.

Especially at this time, Mission Impossible is still in the hot screening, the stock has not yet reached the peak, this time to start, even if it is a 1.3 times premium, Time Warner will definitely not lose.

And the most important thing is that Steve Kevin will buy 10% of MGM shares, and if they don't join Warner, it will be difficult to meddle in Kevin's investment in other films, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to them.

Escaping from Desperate Town and Mission Impossible gave them a taste of sweetness, and they were somewhat addicted.

Under these multiple considerations, although LTECH has no decision-making power, he has decided to persuade Time Warner to buy 20% of MGM shares, of course, Warner and MGM shares swap is not unacceptable.

This depends on the needs of the big boss behind MGM, whether to cash out part or continue to be optimistic about entertainment stocks.
