Post-shadow Development Plan

Lucasfilm is only Lucas's industrial assets in Hollywood, but he can have such a huge influence in Hollywood, of course, there are many hidden assets-such as connections.

Lucas spends a lot of money every year on his alma mater, the University of Southern California.

Part of the money will be used to update equipment and teaching software to help students in the school's film department better learn how to make movies.

The other part is to support capable film graduates to work hard in Hollywood.

Lucas didn't just do this for a year or two, but decades.

It can be said that the University of Southern California, the number one film university in the United States, has endured the favor of Lucas for decades.

It is no exaggeration for the film students of USC to say that they are the disciples of Lucas.

The identity of an alumni is very important to the entertainment industry, not only a network but also a resource.

After decades of development, these film students who graduated from USC have become a force that cannot be ignored in Hollywood.

It's as if Qiye was desperate at the beginning, even if she got a loan, she had to go to Dongyi University.

For a relatively closed circle like film, attending a prestigious school is the most convenient way for an ordinary person like him with no background to integrate into it.

The same is true for USC. Counting various connections, this group can influence nearly a quarter of Hollywood practitioners.

If these people do resist the Murdochs, it's not impossible for them to be purged from the film industry.

But it's just cleared out.

Outside the Hollywood movie circle, the influence of USC will be much smaller.

For Ziyuan, who has already made various preliminary preparations, simply driving the Murdoch family out is not what she wants to see.

She wants the Murdoch family to never turn over.

That's why Ziyuan stopped Lucas from going to the Murdoch family to settle accounts now.

Because the time is not yet ripe.

George Lucas asked with some doubts: "Ziyuan, I didn't expect you to stop me."

"Fox has always been the distributor of the Star Wars franchise, and if you want to have full control of the franchise, it's not enough to buy Lucasfilm."

"Don't worry, George. I've thought about it."

Ziyuan said confidently: "Regarding this point, Jiufeng already has a comprehensive plan."

"Oh?"

Lucas raised an eyebrow in interest.

"If all goes well, Jiufeng can not only obtain the entire copyright of "Star Wars", but also solve the various copyright issues left by Marvel in one go."

"Tell me."

Of course Lucas knew that Jiu Feng was having trouble with Fox because of the copyright issues of "Fantastic Four" and "X-Men".

Ziyuan didn't hold back, and said directly: "Jiufeng is going to buy Fox."

As long as the company is bought, there will naturally be no copyright issues.

Lucas opened his mouth slightly, and he looked at Shion in disbelief.

"I remember the [See Moon] site was seeking a seat in the MPAA."

Lucas suddenly mentioned an unrelated matter.

"Yes."

Zi Yuan nodded.

"And then you're going to buy Fox, which has the MPAA seat?" Lucas continued.

"Jiufeng is not the sole shareholder of [See Moon]."

Shion's words sounded like she was answering an irrelevant question, but Lucas laughed out loud.

"Ziyuan, your ambition is really big."

After laughing, Lucas pointed to Shion and commented.

Zi Yuan just smiled faintly: "I didn't say anything."

"Okay." Lucas said, rubbing the beard on his chin, "tell me, how do I cooperate?"

···

Compared to Ziyuan who is busy digging pits for Fox and News Corp.

Qiye seemed much more relaxed.

This kind of ease does not refer to physical ease, but mentality.

After all, he is busy preparing for the preliminary work of the film every day, and he doesn't have much time to rest.

Now that News Corp.'s stalking target has been changed to Lucas's relationship, Qiye's monitoring is much less intensive.

This made him very comfortable.

I'm a little sorry Lucas though.
