【串流購物節:那些待價而沽的好萊塢企業們】#葉郎串流筆記
雖然 Delta 病毒株威脅潛伏,但過去幾個月美國和世界各國疫情的緩和已經使好萊塢進入一種百貨公司周年慶的購物氛圍。檯面上、檯面下許多製片公司甚至中小型發行公司都陸續貼上標價求售。
這個氣氛乍看有幾分像是1918年西班牙流感全球大流行之後的美國電影業。只是當年疫情後求售的多半是受到疫情重傷的映演業和製片業,有點折價出清的哀傷味道。2021年 COVID-19 後的出售潮卻沒有一絲出清拍賣的哀傷,而是價碼越喊越高的慶祝行情。為什麼?
最主要的差別是除了全球大流行的疫情之外,過去一年還發生了另外一件大事:串流大戰。
串流改變了投資人對於內容投資的心態。電影原本是一個高度風險的行業,上映的時候觀眾來了就中了,觀眾沒來就輸了。串流的商業模式改變了原本一翻兩瞪眼的行業,讓電影在電影院下片之後還能有長尾效應,持續在平台上接觸到更多觀眾。有了串流收入來平衡風險,電影開始變成一個好投資標的。錢就來了。
短短一個月內,傳出求售的公司包含:導演 Ron Howard 的製作公司 Imagine Enterainment、以發行藝術電影著稱的 A24、萬達集團擁有的 Legendary Entertainment 、NBA 球星 LeBron James 的製作公司 SpringHill 和女星 Reese Witherspoon 的製作公司 Hello Sunshine。事實上就在本文寫作的過程中,Reese Witherspoon 的公司根本已經賣出。
如果你手上有個幾億美金或是幾十億美金,以下是串流大戰中的好萊塢購物指南:
█ 老公司也來試水溫——Imagine Entertainment
Imagine Entertainment
標價:約8~8.25億美元
年份:1985年
業務性質:製作公司(電影、電視、串流)
創辦人:製片 Brian Grazer、導演 Ron Howard
代表性作品:《A Beautiful Mind 美麗境界》、《The Grinch 鬼靈精》、《24 反恐任務》、《The Da Vinci Code 達文西密碼》、《Apollo 阿波羅13》
導演 Ron Howard 的 Imagine Entertainment 是最適合用來說明好萊塢併購市場熱度的案例。
作為一家已經有36年歷史的製作公司,Imagine 在這些洋洋灑灑的賣座大片清單之中並沒有實際擁有作品權利,只有少數 Ron Howard 本人導演的作品如《美麗境界》還有穩定的分紅進到公司帳戶。而且這家老製片公司的兩大支柱——製片 Brain Grazer 已經年屆70,導演 Ron Howard 也邁入67歲的年紀。也就是說將來併購 Imagine 的人既買不到作品權利和 IP,也不能期待這兩位不惑之齡的台柱能繼續為公司帶來長期穩定的創作能量。
出手買下 Imagine 買到的就是一家有穩定現金流,然後持續幫 Netflix、Apple TV+ 和 HBO / HBOMax 拍片的老製片公司。這也說明了該公司的求售價格相對比較務實,只有大概8億美元再多一點。
甚至有人懷疑 Brian Grazer 和 Ron Howard 是否真心想賣他們經營了一輩子的公司。外界猜測他們或許只是看市場熱度太高,純粹把價格丟出來試試水溫,讓子彈飛一會兒再來認真思考要不要。
這樣過熱的市場氛圍來自於串流玩家的焦慮。一般認為最後全球串流市場大概只能容納四到五個超級平台,而屆時規模就是生存與否的關鍵。預計最後留在市場上的串流平台每年的內容投資金額至少都要超過100億美元。此刻不斷搬現金來併購的串流公司只能透過盡可能買現成的人才、公司、內容和 IP,來避免自己的公司在五年內提早淘汰出局。
所以這場好萊塢併購熱潮完全是賣方市場,成為有史以來最適合賣掉好萊塢公司的時機。一名業界高層就跟產業媒體 The Wrap 說:「任何人帶著對的出價上門,你就得果斷做出對的決定。因為你如果現在不與人合併,最終也會被另一家更大的買走。」
另一名業界人士則強調一連串事件使資本市場到達前所未有的熱度,「在這種時機點如果還不求出售,你還想怎怎樣?現在就是時候!」

下文還有四家等待併購的好萊塢企業——《Godzilla vs Kong 哥吉拉大戰金剛》的 Legendary Entertainment、《The Moring Show 晨間直播秀》的 Hello Sunshine、《Moonlight 月光下的藍色男孩》的 A24 和《Space Jam: A New Legacy 怪物奇兵:全新世代》的 SpringHill,歡迎客官繼續選購。

brain vs mind 在 DR. SIMON MSH Facebook 的精選貼文
💗 Self-Love encourages healthy boundaries so that other people treat us with respect, and so that we treat others with respect.
Whereas, Selfishness pushes us to violate other people's boundaries for our benefit, and it encourages us to violate our own boundaries to feed our addictions and compulsions.
People are having hard time to understand & manage Self-Love, because there is no one teaching them how to do it in a right way.
That is why people are often confused about self-love vs selfishness.
I help people to find their Self-Love & nourish it in an easy way by teaching them how to use self hypnosis & brainwave entrainment to access their subconscious mind.
My medical specialty in clinical neurophysiology & about 2 decades experience in wellness life coaching, helps me to understand the complex brain network better than many therapists without medical background.
