Recently, some media exclusively learned that a buyer consortium led by Chinese private capital has reached an acquisition intention with a top Hollywood film company.

Authoritative sources revealed that the target is one of the six members of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), one of the so-called "Big Six" in Hollywood. The target price range is US$8 billion to US$10 billion.

Hollywood's "Big Six" refer to: Sony/Columbia, MGM/UA, 20th Century Fox, Disney/Buena Vista, Warner Bros., Paramount, Universal.

In the past two years, China Capital has had many scandals with Hollywood's Big Six. For example, Wanda and Shanghai Film Group successively announced plans with Paramount to acquire and establish overseas joint ventures, but they failed to implement them in the end.

In the context of recent foreign exchange controls and control of overseas investment in the film and television industry, the market is looking forward to what institution has the courage and ability to invest in projects worth tens of billions of dollars.

It is reported that the buyer's consortium is composed of multiple powerful institutions, mainly private capital. The controller of the leading investment institution may be a person with the surname L.
