- I-Warner Bros. I-Discovery inqabe ukunikezwa kokuqala okuvela ku-Paramount Skydance okungaba ngu-$20 ngesheya ngalinye.
- I-Paramount icabanga ukuphakamisa isicelo sayo nokufuna ukusekelwa okwengeziwe kwezezimali, ezingxoxweni ne-Apollo Global Management.
- U-Warner ucabanga ukuhlukana abe izinkampani ezimbili, isinyathelo esingase siguqule ukulinganiswa nesikhathi sokuthengiselana okungenzeka.
- Abanye abantu abazongenela ukhetho balahlekelwa yisisekelo: INetflix ngeke itshale imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-75-100, kanti iComcast izobhekana nokuhlolwa okuqinile kokulawula.
I-Hollywood corporate chessboard iyahamba futhi: I-Paramount Skydance ihlole ukuthenga i-Warner Bros. Discovery. (iqembu elinezenzo zomthetho zakamuva njenge umangalela uMdJourney), kodwa indlela yokuqala ayizange iphumeleleNgokwemibiko eminingi, isiphakamiso sokuqala sithathwe njengenganele inkampani eholwa ngu-David Zaslav, evuselela inkulumo-mpikiswano ngentengo, isikhathi, kanye nokuba nokwenzeka kokulawula kwesivumelwano esinjalo.
Lesi script siza ngemuva kwe- ukuhlanganiswa kwakamuva kwe-Skydance ku-Paramount futhi phakathi nenqubo yokuhlelwa kabusha emkhakheni wezokuzijabulisa. Ukubheja kukaDavid Ellison kuyanda ukukhiqiza amafilimu amaningi nochungechunge, kodwa u-Warner—ngesikhathi sokudlondlobala kwezohwebo— Ubonakala engazimisele ngokuyeka ukulawula ngaphandle kokulinganisa okubonisa umfutho wayo wamanje.
Ukunikezwa: izibalo, ukwenqatshwa kanye nokuhlola
Ngokwemithombo ecashunwe yiBloomberg, I-Paramount Skydance inikezwa cishe u-$20 ngesheya ngalinye ngayo yonke i-Warner Bros.. Ukutholwa (WBD). Isiphakamiso sikalwe njengesiphansi kakhulu futhi, okwamanje, inqatshwe yi-WBDEsigabeni sangaphambi kwemakethe, amasheya e-WBD avale ku-$17,10, ngemali yemakethe elinganiselwa ku-$42,3 billion.
Ulwazi olutholakalayo alucacisi ukuthi ngabe le ndlela ihlotshaniswa yini nokucatshangwa kwe Isamba sesikweletu se-WBD (esicishe sibe ngamabhiliyoni angama-35,6 ekupheleni kukaJuni), isici esibalulekile ekubaleni inani lenkampani. Akekho phakathi kuka-Warner Bros. Discovery noma i-Paramount abenze imibono eminingi yomphakathi., ngale komugqa ojwayelekile wokuqapha kulezi zinqubo.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, I-Paramount icabanga ukuphakamisa ibhidi, izwakalise ngokuqondile abaninimasheya be-WBD, futhi iqinise umsipha wayo wezezimali ngozakwethu abakhethekile. Isu libonisa ukuthi okwenziwayo akukhishelwa ngaphandle, kodwa izingxoxo zizodinga ububanzi bentengo obuhlukile nokucaca mayelana nobubanzi bempahla.
Kungani manje: ukuhlelwa kabusha kwangaphakathi kanye nehhovisi lebhokisi
Isikhathi asikona nje ukuqondana. U-Warner uveze ngezinhlelo zokuthi ihlukaniswe yaba izinkampani ezimbili sibheke phambili onyakeni ozayo: ngakolunye uhlangothi, izitudiyo nokusakaza (Warner Bros.) kanye, ngakolunye, amanethiwekhi omhlaba (Discovery Global). Ukwenza ukuthenga ngaphambi kwalokhu kuhlukaniswa kungagwema ukuhlukaniswa kwempahla futhi kube lula ama-synergies embonini ngokushesha ekukhiqizeni, ekunikezeni amalayisense nasekusabalaliseni.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ibhizinisi lefilimu le-WBD libhekene nesikhathi esihle: Omongameli beMotion Picture Group uMichael De Luca noPam Abdy bavuselele izinkontileka zabo. ngemuva kokusebenza okuqinile kwehhovisi lebhokisi. Imibiko eyahlukene ibeka ukuthathwa kwehhovisi lebhokisi lomhlaba jikelele lesitudiyo cishe 4.000 billion kuze kube manje kulo nyaka, ngokukhishwa okuningi okusha okuhola impelasonto yokuvula.
Lokhu kuthuthukiswa kokusebenza akugcini nje ngokuphakamisa isimilo sangaphakathi; nayo kuqinisa okulindelwe amanani yanoma yimuphi umthengi ocatshangelwayo. Ngamanye amazwi, uma ikhathalogi ikhanya kakhulu kanye nokusebenza kwayo, kuba nzima kakhulu ukuthethelela iprimiyamu ekhawulelwe kukho konke okwenziwayo.
Uxhaso kanye nokwesekwa okuvela kuParamount Skydance
Okuhamba phambili ekuhlaseleni UDavid Ellison, esanda kuqeda ukuhlanganiswa kwe-Skydance ne-Paramount. Ngasohlangothini lwezezimali, izingxoxo ziye zavela nazo Ukuphathwa Komhlaba Wonke kwe-Apollo ukuxhasa ngezimali umnikelo oqinisiwe, ngenkathi ULarry Ellison -umsunguli we-Oracle kanye nobaba kaDavide- uyaqhubeka nokuba umsekeli ofanelekile we-Paramount entsha.
Uma kubhekwa ukwenqatshwa kokuqala, izindlela ezimbalwa zenqubekelaphambili ziyacatshangelwa ngaphakathi kwe-Paramount: nyusa intengo, hlela ukusebenza ngezinsimbi ezixubile (imali namasheya) noma ukuheha imali eyengeziwe lokho kunciphisa amandla okuba khona. Konke lokhu kuhlale kungaphansi kokusabela kwemakethe kanye nokuchazwa kokulawula e-US nakwezinye izindawo.
- Nyusa isicelo: hlola ububanzi obusondeza ukulinganisa kumandla angemva kokubambisana.
- Iya kubaninimasheya: hlola ukuze uthole ukwesekwa okuqondile uma ibhodi le-WBD lihlala lithule.
- Qinisa ukuxhasa ngezimali: Ozakwethu abafana no-Apollo banganciphisa ubungozi bokubulawa.
Abanye abangaba abathengi kanye nesihlungi esilawulayo
Abahlaziyi babona indawo encane yokuthuthukiswa emzileni wokunye. I-Netflix ngeke ibe yimbangi okungenzeka ibe nayo: Ngeke kulunge ukusebenzisa imali ephakathi kuka-75 no-100 wezigidigidi futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, intshisekelo ku iziteshi zekhebula ukuzuza njengefa bekuyoba yindlala. I-Comcast uzobhekana nokubuyekezwa kwe-antitrust okuqinile ikakhulukazi; i-apula y I-Amazon Azibonakali zikulungele ukweqa leli zingafuthi I-Sony cishe uzodinga umlingani wemali yebhizinisi ukuze aphakamise indlela yokuncintisana.
Lokhu kweqa imingcele kuyashiya I-Paramount Skydance isesimweni esithandwayo uma umkhakha uqhubeka nokuhlanganisaNgakho-ke, ukugxila kuyasuka kokuthi "ngubani" kuye kokuthi "kanjani": isakhiwo, isikhathi, nezimo zokulawula kuzoba yizixazululi zegeyimu.
Yiziphi izimo ezicatshangelwayo
Kunemiphumela ehlukahlukene etafuleni. Okuqondile kakhulu kungaba a ukunikezwa okuthuthukisiwe kwe-100% ye-WBD elenelisa ibhodi futhi liphase izihlungi zokulawula. Enye indlela kungaba ngokusebenzisa umbimbi noma izivumelwano zokusabalalisa kanye nokuqukethwe ezikhiqiza isikali ngaphandle kokuhlanganiswa okugcwele. Umzila wesithathu, osalindwe ukuphenduka okungenzeka ku-WBD, uzobandakanya ukwenza kusebenze imisebenzi ekhethiwe uma izimpahla sezihlukene.
Esidlangalaleni, u-Ellison ukugweme ukuqinisekisa umnyakazo othize, nakuba ephakamisa i-ajenda yokuhlanganisa: “Kunezinketho zesikhashana ezisebenzayo” futhi okubalulekile ukuzuza amandla okukhiqiza "amafilimu amaningi nochungechunge." Imakethe, ngakolunye uhlangothi, iyakwehlisa lokho amasonto nezinyanga ezizayo izoba nesinqumo ekunqumeni ukuthi i-hypothesis ihumusheka ekuxoxisaneni okusemthethweni.
Nge-slam yokuqala nezingcezu ezimbalwa ezisazosuswa, U-Warner no-Paramount bakala amandla abo ngokushaya kwenhliziyo okubonisa umjaho wesilinganiso sokusakaza, ukuhambisana kwekhathalogi, nezindleko zemali. Uma ukunikezwa okusha kufika, intengo yakhona, ukufakwa (noma cha) kwesikweletu, kanye nohlaka lokulawula luzosetha ijubane lomsebenzi okuthi, uma livaliwe, ingachaza kabusha imephu yokuzijabulisa nhlangothi zombili ze-Atlantic.
