Hollywood starts with animation

Early the next morning.

Paramount representatives led the inspection team to New Zealand.

"Welcome everyone!"

"Mr. Jordan, long time no see."

That's right, the leader of the Paramount expedition is indeed Zhu Ke's old friend, Jordan, who is now the head of Paramount's distribution department and vice president!

The bearded Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor of Weta Digital, as they greeted Zhu Ke yesterday, lined up at the company's door.

Peter Jackson said enthusiastically: "Mr. Jordan, welcome to my small company."

Jordan teased: "Peter, you are not honest at all. Weta Digital is not a small company, and you are the director of "Lord of the Rings"."

Peter Jackson smiled, naively like a panda.

After a welcome, Jordan began a formal inspection.

Motion capture technology...

Professional special effects computer...

First-rate and talented special effects artist...

A group of talented and creative employees...

...

All these shocked the Paramount team such as Jordan.

"It's so unexpected!" The player Anmi whispered.

"Yes."

Another team member White suppressed his excitement and said: "I said that a small special effects company located far away in New Zealand, how can the guy Zhuke Wald come here in person?!"

Anmi: "I dare not say anything else. The level of Weta Digital's special effects production is not inferior to our Paramount special effects department. As for the special effects department of Wald Pictures, hehe, let's not mention it. "

is not it!

At this moment, Wald Pictures, due to its short establishment time, has a slight shortage of talents compared to the Big Six.The talent reserve and technical reserve in the special effects department can be described as "very poor".

Team member White couldn't help but continue: "Especially the motion capture technology, my God, they are too successful. In my opinion, Industrial Light and Magic may not have such a level."

Anmi nodded heavily.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Jordan led the team and left.

quickly.

The group arrived at a nearby five-star hotel and checked in.

As the leader of the Paramount team, Jordan opened the remote video call immediately after integrating some materials.

After a while, a clear face appeared on the computer screen in front of Jordan.

——Summer Redstone!

"Jordan, the result?" Lei Shidong asked flatly.

Jordan sat down in a distress, and said solemnly: "Boss, Zhuke's purpose for visiting New Zealand, we are quite sure that it is for Peter Jackson's Weta digital special effects. According to our judgment, the purpose of his trip is definitely more than just. It’s an investigation, and it’s more inclined to buy shares and acquire Weta Digital.

Redstone nodded: "I know that Zhuke's purpose is not pure."

"He Zhuke Wald, I know too well. Don't look at this guy, sometimes he is crazy, but he is a very clear purpose person. Film companies, TV stations, radio stations, publishing, games, Internet, film and television Surroundings... His goal is very clear, which is to gradually grow his Golden Dawn Entertainment Group and build a huge media empire."

The person who knows you best is often either your enemy or your friend.

Film and television special effects are only a trivial small section in the media empire, but they still have a certain effect on enhancing the influence of a media group.

Jordan continued: "Boss, according to our one-day survey results, Weta Digital can be called a B-level good asset. I suggest that the company invest in shares or acquire it."

Pondering~

Ten seconds later...

"I agreed."

Redstone has never been an indecisive person, and immediately said: "You will send me the evaluation results and the detailed information of Weta Digital as soon as possible. Of course, you can start negotiations with Weta Digital first, and for specific acquisition actions, A dedicated person will be arranged to be responsible."

"Yes, boss." Jordan replied loudly.

Paramount has taken a fancy to the excellent asset of Weta Digital.

The video call ends.

Jordan put down the headphones and muttered to himself: "Zuke, although we are friends and have good personal relationships, we have a different position right now, so don't blame me for cutting my head. Haha~"

...

Another day passed.

Paramount’s Jordan is collecting detailed information on Weta Digital with the team and preparing to start the acquisition.

At the same time, the representative team of 20th Century Fox also arrived at Weta Digital Corporation at noon today.

"what?"

"Can you say that again!"

"The leader of the 20th Century Fox is really Lachlan Murdoch?!"

Peter Jackson, the bearded man who got the news, was a little gagged.

Lachlan Murdoch, he is the eldest son of the Murdoch family and the first heir to media magnate Rupert Murdoch's huge industry.

At the same time, Lachlan has served as the Deputy CEO of News Corporation since 1999, second only to his father and CEO Peter Chernin.

The proper third in command!

Good friend Richard Taylor was also shocked: "It turned out to be him!"

"For now, the assets of the entire Murdoch family are not as good as that of Zhuke Wald alone, but Zhuke is completely inferior to Murdoch in terms of power in the news section, especially in Australia and New Zealand. Family!"

Murdoch started in Australia.

At the same time, Murdoch's eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch, has become a celebrity in the political and business communities of Australia and New Zealand since he was announced as the first heir to News Corporation, and his influence is amazing.

In the American and European fields, Zhu Ke is not afraid of anyone.

However... In Oceania, Zhu Ke's influence cannot catch up with the Murdoch family. After all, Zhu Ke does not have any industrial investment in this area.

No, when Lachlan Murdoch arrived at the New Zealand International Airport, the head of the New Zealand Information Agency, minister-level officials, personally greeted him at the airport.

Look at this card!

How does Zhuke compare?

Don't be surprised, the Murdoch family in New Zealand and Australia is completely like a Turkish emperor.

"Stabilized! As long as Lachlan Murdoch walks around our Weta Digital, then New Zealand's first batch of state-supported high-tech companies must have our place."

Bearded Peter Jackson, as a director and businessman, has a very sensitive political sense.

Richard Taylor was also very excited.

Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox Pictures, three consecutive film and television industry giants visited Weta Digital, and it instantly made Weta Digital noticed by large and small film companies in the United States.

Competitors with the idea of ​​buying shares and acquisitions have increased again in just a few days.

One of the most important people is John Durr, who is called one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Venture Capital".

"" The second update is sent.
