Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 37 "The Talent Show" Copyright

Since 1996, although Marvel's stock has risen, it is still unavoidable from the fate of bankruptcy and reorganization, and its dilemma has deepened.

On a certain day in 2003, a young man approached Marvel's then executive Sal Polmat and proposed a genius idea.

He is David Messer!

David: "I have a crazy idea, why don't you make a series of movies with your own brand? Why can't the superheroes in these movies cross each other, just like they are in the comics?"

Marvel: "How can I do this?!"

This is a million-dollar proposal and the prototype of the "Marvel Cinematic Universe"!

After the establishment of the company's animation department, Zhu Ke convened all the employees of the animation department to discuss the issue of "SpongeBob SquarePants".After the meeting, Stephen was appointed as the head of the animation department on the spot; David Messer served as the second in command and concurrently as the chief screenwriter of the animation department.

For the company's animation department, Zhu Ke is full of imagination!

In the following days, Zhuke's work became even busier.

All day long, either in the studio, or go to the company’s animation department to check the progress of "SpongeBob SquarePants"; or go to Silicon Valley to see the development of ICQ; moreover, there are more little girlfriends like Lima, shopping and Talking on the phone; in addition, Zhu Ke also used extremely limited time to study management knowledge.

Busy people are exhausted!

But it is also quite substantial.

"It's not easy to pass through!"

"You said, Lao Tzu has gone through it now, and he still has to learn. Is there any heavenly reason?!"

"It's not easy to be a billionaire!"

While Zhuke complained, he did not forget to read through the book.Yes, Zhu Ke has a large number of managers, but as the boss, not to mention proficient in the management of various departments, he cannot be fooled anyway.

Human nature is evil!

This is the criterion Zhu Ke believes in.

Of course, it’s no wonder that Zhu Ke is so speculative. Don’t think too much of a person. Is it rare for company managers to cheat their bosses?

Especially for large companies, the internal personnel struggles can be extremely fierce!

The game between company management and bosses and shareholders is not uncommon.

For the future, Zhu Ke is full of confidence.In the future, my wealth will definitely exceed tens of billions of dollars. If I don’t have the management skills, I will not be able to hold back the huge wealth after the crossing dividend.

"No one who is a damn wants to take advantage of Lao Tzu, even my management."

.......

July 1.

Los Angeles, SpongeBob House Head Office.

"Okay, now each store will report on the business situation of the last month." Zhu Ke took a sip of coffee.

The voice fell, and the person in charge of several stores sitting next to Zhu Ke, including the old leader James, began to report.

"Boss, the net profit of our head office in June was US$120,000, an increase of a full 58% compared to May, and the revenue is gratifying."

"The situation of our second store is not bad. Net profit hit a record high, reaching 118,000 US dollars."

"Your second store is good, but our third store also hit a new high, with a net profit of US$105,000."

.......

As everyone spoke, Gu was full of laughter, and the atmosphere was very good.

If the business is good, their income will be more, can they be in a bad mood?

It has to be said that the SpongeBob House in June is extremely brilliant.The turnover of the seven stores has repeatedly hit record highs. In one month, Zhuke has brought a profit of 650,000 US dollars, an increase of 42% year-on-year, and an increase of 91% compared to April.

"Everyone has worked hard, come, applaud for yourself~!" Zhu Ke laughed.

Happiness~!

The applause was endless, and the faces of James and others flushed.

The bonus this month will definitely not be less.

"Boss, the business of each store is so good. In addition to all of us, the most important thing is that the boss is wise and mighty. He has won the peripheral authorization of several hot movies in advance." For James, everyone has Is nodding, expressing approval.

"Low-key, low-key, how many times have you said it, don't engage in any personality cult." Zhu Ke gave James angrily.

In fact, Zhuke was pleased with their flattery.

This Nima is totally a dick!

Strictly speaking, James is right. In the past two months, the seven stores of SpongeBob SquarePants House have been able to set new highs repeatedly because of Zhu Ke's brilliance.

"Tornado Storm", released on May 1, reached a box office of 41.05 million U.S. dollars on the day of its premiere. Today, the cumulative box office in North America has reached 230 million U.S. dollars;

On May 22, "Professional Secret Service", the premiere box office reached 45.4 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office as of yesterday also exceeded 150 million US dollars;

On June 7th, "Break into Death Island" premiered at a box office of 25 million U.S. dollars. At present, the cumulative box office in North America is also a full 100 million U.S. dollars.

These films were among the top ten in the North American annual box office rankings in 1996, and the film licenses in the Los Angeles area were also awarded by Zhu Ke.Even though these movies are not the best-selling items around animated movies, they can't stand the large number!

Zhu Ke can be said to have made a lot of money!

"Everyone, today is July 1, and the day after tomorrow is the premiere of "Independence Day." I think you know what this means?" Zhu Ke said in a deep voice.

James and others nodded heavily.

Man, that's the movie "Independence Day"!

The 1996 North American box office champion!

The North American box office was US$306 million and the global box office was US$817 million.

At the same time, Zhu Ke not only won the peripheral license of the film in the Los Angeles area, but after paying $1 million to 20th Century Fox, he obtained the online sales right of the Internet in North America, which of course only took two years.

Yes, it is selling peripheral products online!

After Wald Pictures signed a strategic contract with Amazon.com, Zhu Ke has been working hard on online peripheral products. The movie peripheral products of "Independence Day" are the first step.

"Big companies are black!"

"This is especially true for Fox in the 20th century. Just two years of online peripheral authorization cost Laozi $1 million!"

Zhu Ke secretly scolded big companies as shameless.

Yes, big companies are really shameless.They have never sold movie peripheral products on the Internet. After Zhu Ke came to the door, they certainly wanted to give it a try.Two years of online peripheral authorization time is enough to see their shrewdness.

You made money, that's good, in the future, the price of our film online peripheral license will increase!

You make a lot of money, that's even better. In the future, our online peripheral licenses will no longer be sold.Anyway, there is no need to open a store, so the profits are naturally more.

It has to be said that the booming development of the Internet has caused a huge blow to physical stores. This is true in the Great China, especially in the United States.

In 2020, the North American film peripheral market will reach 20 billion U.S. dollars, of which as much as 15 billion U.S. dollars will be sold online.This is also the reason why Zhu Ke did not continue to open new stores after making money in surrounding stores.

Can't afford to hurt, brother!

"Ding Dong~!"

The conventional system that pretends to be dead is alive?!
