Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 21 Call from the UK

The voice of the discussion just now came from Charlize Theron, who was talking to a girl named Jenny in the store just now.

"Jenny, Charlize, what did you say about Yahoo? What about Yahoo?"

Zhu Ke asked immediately, the whole person still a little worried.

"Boss, please be gentle, you hurt me."

Sai Huang was upset, because Zhu Ke, who was excited, accidentally scratched her arm just now.

"Sorry, sorry, please tell me more specifically." Zhu Ke apologized.

Soon, Zhu Ke got the general situation of Yahoo.

Yahoo will be listed on April 12th.

Damn it!

That's Yahoo!

Although Yahoo has been in recession after 2005, it can be said that Wang Xiaoer's New Year is not as good as one year.But before that, it was the world's largest Internet portal.In January 2000, its stock price per share reached a maximum of $475, with a market value of over 100 billion.

However, what is its opening price?

Zhuke didn't know much about it before crossing, but vaguely remembered it was more than twenty dollars.As long as you buy Yahoo's stock when it goes public, and then sell it in January 2000, you can get a profit of more than 20 times!

"Ding Ding Ding~~!"

At this moment, the store's phone rang, and it was Zhu Ke.

"Boss, this is Victor, thank God I finally found you."

There was a voice on the phone.

"What's the matter? Is the release date of "Lola Run" set?"

Zhuke wondered if Victor would call SpongeBob House, but he still asked curiously.

As for why the call is made to the fixed phone in the store instead of the mobile phone?That's because Zhu Ke didn't buy a mobile phone. Today's mobile phone is a kind of "brick cell phone" instead of a cell phone that can be stuffed into his pocket later.

"Boss, the release date has been fixed, but it is not the main reason."

"Oh? You keep talking."

"Boss, just now, I received a call from the United Kingdom. The other party is the British BBC Broadcasting Corporation. They intend to cooperate in the production and development of your "Teletubbies" global copyright."

Teletubbies?

"Fuck, what's the lack, the British guy is going to give me money!" Zhu Ke was excited.

Although the content of "Teletubbies" is very young, and there is no "Peppa Pig" around it crazy, but it is a British national treasure series, which has profoundly affected a generation, even in the hinterland of China at that time, Zhuke also watched it. Have been there more than once.Well, even if many people don't like Teletubbies, they cannot deny its existence and influence.

"Victor, so I'll go to the company later, and let's talk in person."

Then Zhu Ke said a few more words and hung up.

"Zuke, are you leaving?"

At this time, James came up. He had seen Zhu Ke slouch before, but after a phone call, the whole person became excited, and he couldn't help but be curious.

"Yes."

Zhu Ke responded and was about to leave, but suddenly he thought of something and turned back: "James, this morning is not busy, and it is not a weekend. You will go to the film company with me. I have something to discuss with you."

"Okay, I will arrange it." James nodded.

Don't think that James is a god pit. He has pitted Zhuke many times before, but he has also helped Zhuke many times.But since joining SpongeBob House, his work can be described as conscientious, and the whole person has changed a lot.

He needs this stable job.

After all, the paralyzed mother and young sister in the family need him to raise.

Family makes a man grow up!

"Oh, by the way, James, you brought Charlize with me, and I have something to look for with her. Hey, I said, buddy, what do you look like? I don't have much interest in her, otherwise I would have started it long ago, you I know, she lacks paternal love and hopes to find an older boyfriend. I have a business to look for her." Zhu Ke couldn't help rolling his eyes.

.......

quickly.

Zhuke, James, and Charlize Theron drove to Wald Pictures.

After entering CEO Victor’s office, he simply greeted Victor first, and then talked to the Emperor.

"Charlize, are you planning to leave in another week? Are you sure?" Zhuke asked.

Sai Huang nodded: "Yes boss, you know, I am an actor after all. Working for you before was just a stopgap measure. Now my acting courses are all over, I have to sprint for my dream. Of course, I am also very grateful to the boss and everyone for their care during this time."

What can Zhu Ke say?

Would you persuade her to give up her Hollywood dream?

Wake up buddy, she's the emperor!

How many of the actresses who can make a world of Hollywood in the future are fuel-efficient lamps?She has a clear goal for herself, it is not that Zhuke will make her give up by saying a few words, besides, Zhuke does not intend to force her to stay.

"Well, then I wish you a bright future in Hollywood."

"Thank you boss."

"Stop calling me boss, we are friends, we will call me Zhuke from now on."

"Zuke..."

"Yes, this is a friend."

In the next few minutes, Zhuke kept chatting with Charlize again, from home to work, including future plans, etc., and the atmosphere was very good.

but.

Talking and talking, we talked about endorsements!

"Charlize, I think your image is very suitable for SpongeBob SquarePants House. You can be our image spokesperson, right?"

That's right, this is Zhuke's purpose for finding her.Talking and caring are all nonsense.

There is no advantage, it is a bastard.

Taking advantage of Charlize Theron is still not popular, Zhuke intends to sign a long-term endorsement, preferably the kind of lifelong.Of course, it's not just Charlize Theron. After waiting for a while, Zhuke plans to sign Xiao Li after he has the money. After all, after the release of "Titanic" next year, he will become a global hit!

"Boss, you are really... Are you sure I can be popular?"

The Emperor Serb was speechless at first, and then he was happy again. After all, she knew Zhu Ke's stingy attributes too well, and being able to get him to spend money to sign the endorsement contract was an affirmation of her.

"Of course, you are so beautiful, you must be red!"

Afterwards, Zhu Ke said a lot of good things without money, so the emperor Hu Sai silly signed an endorsement.

And also the endorsement of lifelong system.

For this, Zhuke paid 100,000 US dollars in one go.I have to say that this operation was extremely stunning, and it later brought Zhu Ke a rich return.Of course, the liquidated damages are necessary, a full 20 million.

The 20 million liquidated damages almost fainted Sai Huang.

(Some people may say that this kind of contract is suspected of being illegal, but does Zhu Ke care? Isn't it just a lawsuit, just drag it for a few years.)

......

The second person to enter the office was Zhuke's old residence, James Sean.

"James, I have here a list of movies to be released in the near future. You can find lawyer Zhang Wei, go to various film companies, and be sure to sign a peripheral license contract within a certain period of time." Zhu Ke handed a few A4 papers to James.

When the voice fell, James couldn't help being excited.

Why?

Zhuke asked him to deal with these things, obviously because of his plans!

"Zuke... uh no, don't worry, boss, I will definitely win the peripheral license of the movie at the cheapest price in the shortest time." James solemnly said.

This list of movies seems to be an ordinary list of movies.

1. Independence Day.

2. Tornado storm.

3. Professional special agent team.

4. Brave the island of death.

.......

but.

If you look at this list of movies next year, you will find that the movies on this list are all the top 30 movies on the North American box office chart in 1996.

"Independence Day" was directed by Roland Emmerich and starred by Will Smith. It was released on July 3 and was produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox. It received $50.22 million on the day of its premiere, breaking the first day box office in North America. On record, the total box office in North America reached 306 million US dollars, the North American box office champion in 1996, and the global box office exceeded 800 million US dollars;

"Tornado Storm" North America gross box office of 241 million US dollars;

"Professional Agents" North America gross box office of 180 million US dollars;

"Brave to Death Island" has a total North American box office of 134 million US dollars, and so on, Zhu Ke listed 15 movies in one fell swoop.Although Zhu Keji is not very clear about the specific box office rankings in 1996, he clearly knows that he will definitely not lose money if he wins the peripheral licenses for these films.
