Hollywood starts with animation

The next day.

After starting the vacation mode, Zhu Ke stepped into the headquarters building of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group again after nearly two months.

"what?!"

CEO Victor was surprised: "Boss, do you mean that Vita Digital, located in New Zealand, is a special effects company that is no less powerful than Industrial Light & Magic?"

Zhu Ke emphasized: "I mean potential!"

Victor still asked: "Boss, you have to understand that an excellent special effects production company is not only a simple model of special effects software + special computers + first-class special effects artists, but the most important thing is the ability to develop new technologies. In this regard, Industrial Light & Magic is very powerful."

Obviously, Victor was skeptical.

Hollywood's slightly larger production companies have their own special effects departments for film and television, which can produce some simple special effects, but...the real big scene special effects and top special effects still need to commission professional special effects companies.

Moreover, a large price tag is required.

The cost of special effects for the two films "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" by Wald Pictures is an astronomical figure.

Zhu Ke immediately laughed and scolded: "Victor, only you in the entire group will question me and not give me face."

Hearing this, Victor solemnly said: "Boss, I am the CEO of the group. I need to be responsible to the group and to you."

Zhuke haha ​​twice, waved his hand, and said, "You, you, I can't tell you. In short, I am optimistic about the future of Weta Digital. Of course, I will go to New Zealand in the next few days and take a look first."

Victor nodded.

In fact, Zhuke can make all decisions of the company in one word. There is no need to give Victor any face, but Zhuke will not do it, nor can he do it.

Victor serves as the CEO of the group. His performance is not exceptional, but his victory is "stable", which is very satisfactory to Zhu Ke.

After all, there are a large number of professional managers in Hollywood who are eager for quick success.

This kind of person Zhu Ke always despised him.

"Victor, do you want to come with me to see?" Zhu Ke suddenly proposed.

"Uh......?"

Victor was taken aback immediately, but after thinking about it for ten seconds, he said: "Yes. But I won't have time to leave until three days later, and I will not stay in New Zealand for more than two days."

Zhuke immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "The time planning is so precise, and the existence of a CEO like you is definitely a boon for any boss."

The compliments of Hongguoguo.

Which boss doesn't like capable and dedicated subordinates?

Victor smiled and said: "Boss, I am only interested in Weta Digital because of what you said. Once it is as you say, it has excellent potential, then we will invest in it, or even acquire it gradually. A good thing."

Of course a good thing!

With the development of the times, high-investment special effects movies have gradually become mainstream Hollywood movies in the 21st century, and Zhu Ke holds a large number of superhero copyrights.These copyrights want to be filmed, so the expenditure on special effects is definitely not a small number.

"There is a particularly outstanding special effects company in hand, which will greatly promote the overall operation of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group." Victor said firmly.

Zhuke nodded again.

In 2012, Disney acquired Lucasfilm, including its subsidiary Industrial Light and Magic, for which it paid a massive purchase price of more than $4 billion.

The profitability of the special effects company itself can only be said to be average. After all, a lot of money is invested in the research and development of new technologies, but an excellent special effects company is definitely a special part of a film company.

Who doesn't look at Industrial Light and Magic in the six Hollywood?

Zhuke is also very greedy, but Lucas will not sell at this moment, after all, Lucas is still very energetic.In contrast, Weta Digital, it has not yet fully emerged, but has the opportunity to become a subsidiary of Golden Dawn Entertainment today.

.......

A few days later.

Zhu Ke and CEO Victor and his team traveled to New Zealand by private jet "Lola".

There are no secrets in Hollywood.

No, the news spread just after Zhuke and others flew out of Los Angeles.

"What is this guy doing in New Zealand?"

Xie Yi, the owner of New Line Pictures, immediately fell into thought, and the sorrow between his brows couldn't be resolved.Suddenly, his inspiration flashed and he immediately called director Peter Jackson: "Peter, where are you now? Are you going back to New Zealand?"

"Yes, I just returned to New Zealand this morning."

The voice of director Peter Jackson soon came over the phone.

Shay clenched his fist and asked, "Is it because of that guy Zhuke?"

The bearded Peter Jackson didn’t think much, and replied: “Yes, at the young director’s exchange event a few days ago, Mr. Wald and I had a great conversation, and he should also arrive in New Zealand today, um, visit My Weta Digital Company."

"Mr. Shay, is there any problem?"

Hearing this, Xie Yi felt much relieved.

why?

Because of the huge investment in special effects companies, Shay’s New Line Film does not need it, and can’t afford it.

The phone hangs up.

Shay’s mouth raised slightly, and he smiled: “That fellow Zhuke Wald is still always cunning! Visiting Weta Digital? Haha, I don’t believe a word! In my opinion, he just aimed at Weta Digital has become the purpose of a subsidiary of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group!"

The voice fell.

Company Vice President Jonathan said in amazement: "Then shall we stop?"

Shay waved his hand and shook his head: "We have no reason to stop! Moreover, we can't afford the special effects company. It is not us that should worry about it, but Disney, Columbia, and the six Hollywood big players like Universal."

as expected.

The six major Hollywood companies also received the news immediately and made accurate judgments.

Fooling these old foxes is not that simple!

In just a few years, Zhu Ke's reputation has become too popular and has become the focus of everyone's attention. It will become the focus wherever he goes, just like a firefly in the night, it is impossible to hide himself.

Disney: "We can't stop it."

Since the film "Pearl Harbor" lost at the box office, Disney's serious internal struggle broke out again on a large scale.Even Robert Iger, CEO of Disney Pictures, was almost removed from his post.

It can be seen how intense the struggle is.

Sony Columbus: "Why stop it? A special effects company based in New Zealand. If Jin Shuguang wants to buy it, it will buy times. It's no big deal."

Hollywood does not lack excellent special effects companies, and the number is particularly large.

However, they murmured about the potential of Weta Digital, which is comparable to the existence of Industrial Light & Magic in the future, and even better in terms of motion capture technology.

Universal: "A professional special effects company is just a golden beast, there is no need to introduce it."

Since Universal Pictures was acquired by the French Vivendi Group, high profits have been the first goal.

Paramount: "That guy Zhuke is not a targetless person. When it comes to understanding Zhuke, we at Paramount absolutely have a say. Vita Digital is very likely a potential gold."

The media magnate Lei Shidong immediately became interested and arranged for people to go to New Zealand for inspection.

Murdoch, the media magnate of 20th Century Fox, made the same choice and appointed the company's vice president to inspect.

quickly......

The private jet Lola successfully arrived in New Zealand.

Victor smiled and said: "Boss, we are investigating Weta Digital with such a big fanfare, I guess the entire Hollywood knows it.

Zhuke shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you know it, I know it. I am determined to win Vita Digital unless they are richer than me."

not give a damn about.

Zhuke doesn't care about the reactions of major Hollywood movies. Today, Zhuke has the confidence to say this.

Nowadays, like Zhuke of the lamp, it is very difficult to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger and keep a low profile. In this case, Zhuke simply throws away these coats and handles the problem with openness.
