Chapter 583
If it weren't for the fact that the US subprime mortgage crisis had arrived in full force, and the US economy had been seriously affected, leading DreamWorks into a desperate situation.
Otherwise, DreamWorks would never have been driven to the point of being acquired by another company.
"How much did my dad buy DreamWorks for?"
Chen Mo asked curiously.
"It seems DreamWorks asked for 440 million US dollars, I don't know how your dad finally bought it for 300 million."
Wang Jinghua flipped through the news and answered.
Only 300 million US dollars.
Chen Mo smiled.
In his past life, Disney had always wanted to acquire DreamWorks, but under the influence of the 2008 financial crisis, Disney was also hesitant about whether to acquire DreamWorks.
They hesitated until 2012, when the impact of the financial crisis gradually faded.
Disney then spent nearly ten times the price to acquire DreamWorks.
If you don't say Chen Fu is the son of luck, he just happened to catch the time when DreamWorks' internal capital chain was most difficult.
If it were a day or two later, it probably wouldn't have been possible to acquire DreamWorks at such a cheap price.
However, it was mainly because Chen Mo reminded Chen Fu in advance to pay attention to DreamWorks' operating status at all times, otherwise Chen Fu would not have taken action to acquire it at the first opportunity.
"But Momo, the controversy over Mo Mo Company buying DreamWorks is still very big; many people think that Mo Mo Company doesn't produce animated movies anyway, so it's better to let other companies acquire DreamWorks; this is a waste of resources."
Wang Jinghua spoke.
Such public opinion has already appeared internationally.
Although Mo Mo Company has produced one "Kung Fu Panda", its qualifications in the production of animated movies are still too light.
DreamWorks has quite a few fans.
It's normal to have such remarks.
"Alright, since it's already acquired, then let's make an animated movie first."
Making animation is not simple.
He has long had advanced painting skills, and making animated movies is just a small matter.
Chen Mo stayed up all night to make the design for "WALL-E", and handed the script and character design drawings of "WALL-E" to DreamWorks, letting DreamWorks produce it.
"WALL-E" can be considered the ceiling in global animation production.
It was even included in the National Museum in the United States in his past life, treated as a national treasure animation.
Once "WALL-E" comes out, it will definitely be able to directly establish Mo Mo Company's ability to produce animated movies.
At the same time, on the other side.
"What? Mo Mo Company has already acquired DreamWorks?"
The boss of Disney was also shocked to know this.
Now the impact of the financial crisis is great, even if they want to acquire DreamWorks again, they need to hold an internal meeting to decide.
Mo Mo Company's actions are so fast.
"Still a step late, if I had known, I would have spent money to acquire it first; lost a big investment!"
The boss of Disney was quite helpless.
Even if they didn't successfully acquire DreamWorks this year, they would definitely not give up on DreamWorks in the future.
However, if they really wanted to acquire DreamWorks this year, they wouldn't be able to come up with so much liquid capital at once to acquire it.
After all, under the influence of the financial crisis, except for Mo Mo Company, no Hollywood company can temporarily come up with so much liquid capital at once.
A pity.
A few days later, at the domestic Golden Melody Awards ceremony.
Again!
A group of singers looked at Chen Mo who came to the scene and wanted to cry but had no tears.
Originally thought that Chen Mo didn't release many new songs last year, so they estimated he wouldn't participate in the Golden Melody Awards this year.
Who knew that once the great catastrophe in Wenchuan County came out, Chen Mo's "Rice Field Fragrance" directly made him kill a group of charts, and he was nominated for the Golden Melody Awards in the last few days.
"Chen Mo was just nominated, he shouldn't be able to win an award, right?"
Cai Yilin's expression was very wonderful.
"That's hard to say."
Lin Junjie, who also came to compete for the award, shook his head with a bitter smile.
He hadn't seen a time when Chen Mo participated in the Golden Melody Awards and didn't win an award.
"Why is it you guys again, we meet again."
Chen Mo sat among several Golden Melody Award candidates and greeted them with a smile.
Yeah.
Chen Mo came to wholesale trophies again, and they came to accompany the run again.
Everyone wanted to cry but had no tears.
They thought Chen Mo wouldn't come to participate in the Golden Melody Awards this year, so they would have a chance to win a big award.
The influence of "Rice Field Fragrance" in China is too great.
Especially since this song was created for the great catastrophe, its popularity and significance are not comparable to the songs they were nominated for this year.
"The winner of this year's Best Annual Song Award is... Chen Mo! Everyone, applause to welcome Chen Mo to the stage to receive the award!"
Sure enough, the host's voice sounded on the stage, and Chen Mo went to the stage to receive the award.
Best Annual Song Award, Best Composer Award, Best Lyricist Award, and Most Popular Male Singer Award, Chen Mo won six or seven trophies in a row again.
"So many trophies again, there's no place to put them when I take them back; should I just find a warehouse to pile them up?"
Chen Mo frowned, very seriously distressed.
"..."
Other singers at the scene were very speechless.
It's the first time I've seen someone complain about having too many trophies; if it really doesn't work, sharing one with them is fine too!
