Chapter 2410 Use magic to defeat magic

Jason Kilar had long been dissatisfied with Lucasfilm's self-reliance, so he asked cautiously: "What should I do? Are we going to force ourselves against them?"

Zhou Buqi snorted: "I just came over there. Those two women told me that if I forcefully promote the technology licensing strategy, they will submit their resignation reports together."

"I also have such worries." Jason Kilar nodded, and then said thoughtfully, "I think the key is to look at George Luca. Lucasfilm is all his people."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "How many years has it been since he sold the company?"

Jason Kilar said: "But the influence has always been there, and Catherine and Lin Wen have always adhered to his development strategy. A very important reason is that Lucasfilm is not in Hollywood. It can be seen from the geographical location. Maintain your independence.”

Zhou Buqi said resolutely: "No matter what, my plan cannot be changed! First promote the cooperation between Lucasfilm and Asda, and you will do this! You have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you disagree!" "

This is a small coffee shop, and Zhou Shaoning is also present.

Of course he hopes to reach a cooperation with Lucasfilm as soon as possible.

But he also saw that this matter was very complicated.

MSI Global is about to IPO, and it is also related to the prospects of the new "Star Wars" trilogy. If it is not handled well, it may cause big troubles.

Zhou Shaoning said very conservatively: "I think it's better not to rush yet, at least... at least we have to wait until after the listing. The IPO is the most important event at the moment."

Zhou Buqi said: "Weixing Global has a profit of US$3 billion a year, and Lucasfilm only contributed US$100 million. I don't believe they can still go to heaven! They also have this leverage to rely on. They can't let it happen." They succeeded. The future is an era of technology, and even movies will become more and more technological. MSI Universal must continue to explore in the field of film technology based on Lucasfilm."

This is the long-term strategy of Ziweixing Global.

We are now in the digital age, and the technological attributes of movies will only become stronger and stronger.

Technology will be an important part of Ziweixing Global's future strategy.

If you want to do science and technology, you must first have a scientific and technological idea.

Lucasfilm's self-conscious attitude towards technology, which is a movie idea, not a technological idea, has long been out of tune with the current era.

Whoever dares to stop him will step down!

Jason Kilar hesitated and said very cautiously: "Actually, there is another reason, which is the increasingly fierce feminist trend. The two heads of Lucasfilm and Industrial Light and Magic are both women. She Both of them have always regarded themselves as feminist pioneers. If they leave...it will affect the external image of Ziweixing Global, and the outside world may criticize us for not supporting women's rights."

Zhou Buqi also took this into consideration and snorted: "It's okay, rely on magic to defeat magic!"

"ah?"

Jason Kilar was slightly startled.

Zhou Buqi said: "First of all, we can let Ann Sarnoff take over. I believe she can lead Lucasfilm well."

Ann Sarnoff is the vice president of Ziweixing Global and serves as assistant to the chairman.

Boss Zhou usually makes some decisions about Ziweixing Global through her.

She is a female.

If one woman is used to replace another woman, it will be difficult for the outside world to criticize it, at least it will not interfere with it from the perspective of political correctness.

Zhou Buqi continued: "As the CEO of Industrial Light \u0026 Magic, you can find a person of color to replace you. However, it is best not to be too aggressive before taking action. Stabilize one first, and take down the other. Separate their camps. , first promote Lucasfilm’s technology patent licensing strategy. When the time is right, we will win another one.”

Jason Kilar said worriedly: "I'm just afraid that they will advance and retreat together."

Zhou Buqi pondered for a moment, "The main thing is to get rid of Kathleen Kennedy. I looked at it and found that she can't do it at all. Industrial Light and Magic is fine. It's just special effects. Women's rights are women's rights. It won't affect anything. This Katherine That won’t work, let her be in charge of the Star Wars series, and she will definitely bring in her personal work and put feminism into it.”

Jason Kilar said: "She carries on all of George Lucas' legacy."

"Even if George Lucas is here, he still says this!" Zhou Buqi made a decisive decision, "No matter what, it's decided, get rid of her! Then let An take over and strive to be listed on the market. The change in this position has been completed before now. Linwen Brennan’s side should be stable first. Whether it is a salary increase or a stock payment, she cannot be allowed to leave.”

"What should I do with George? I can't do anything with him." Jason Kilar could only ask Boss Zhou, "Why don't you give him a call?"

"OK!"

Zhou Buqi still has some confidence. He is a technology expert. He wants to make some adjustments to Lucasfilm's technical route... Who dares to object? Are you qualified to object?

Who else knows more about technology than him?

Even if George Lucas didn't want to, he wouldn't be as courageous as those two women. After all, in terms of workplace ethics, Zhou Buqi is now the owner of Lucasfilm, and it is his freedom to deal with Lucasfilm how he wants.

This is actually not easy.

In the previous life of Lucasfilm, after it was acquired by Disney... control has always been in the hands of Kathleen Kennedy, and behind her is George Lucas.

As a result, the new "Star Wars" trilogy was just about playing feminism and political correctness. It didn't have any exciting plots and received rave reviews.

The spin-off series that was produced also suffered failure.

Disney was very dissatisfied and wanted to fire her.

But there are many obstacles.

Repeated attempts to remove Kathleen Kennedy were unsuccessful.

Later, they had no choice but to invite Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, to come out. He had built the Marvel Universe so successfully and his prestige was high enough that Disney wanted him to help Lucasfilm create the right one. The "Star Wars Universe" has finally found a breakthrough.

Zhou Buqi would not give her a chance.

Now that she is seeking her own death, if she dares to resist, challenge, threaten, or refuse to implement the big boss's decision regardless of professional ethics... then you're welcome, just seize the opportunity and capture her!

Save her from ruining the new Star Wars trilogy again.

Jason Kilar said: "'Star Wars 7' is already in the post-production stage. If she is fired at this time... it may affect the subsequent arrangements for the film."

"The impact will have an impact. If the worst happens, we will increase investment and postpone the release. The most important thing now is to let her leave Lucasfilm. I never want to see her again!" Zhou Buqi decisively took responsibility. , "Let's just say she contradicted me in person. I was very angry and wanted to fire her at all costs!"

Jason Kilar smiled, "This is the strongest reason. Even if George Lucas wants to object, I'm afraid he can't say anything."
