Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 63 Acquisition of UPN Television Network

The negotiations between Wald Pictures and Paramount have fallen apart!

After all, in the face of their "good intentions" to buy shares, Zhu Ke, who is thinking of small peasants, can't accept it.

Zhu Ke loves money very much, that's right.

But Zhuke is the kind of person who doesn't like trouble.Once Paramount successfully acquires shares, it will inevitably add a lot of troubles in future work and life, such as participating in equity competitions, internal personnel struggles, etc., which will involve a lot of energy.

Of course Zhuke was reluctant.

"I came across here to enjoy life, not to intrigue."

Although the equity negotiations with Paramount have collapsed, other cooperation is still possible.

Three days later.

CEO Victor, on behalf of Wald Pictures, signed a series of copyright contracts for Juno with Paramount.

The main contents are:

First: Paramount invested 30 million US dollars to purchase the overseas copyright of "Juneo" from Wald Pictures, including DVD, video tape copyright, and associated toys, clothing, keychains and other peripheral copyrights;

Second: Paramount invested 2 million US dollars to purchase the rights to produce the sequel to the movie "Juneo";

Then there are some other terms, but nothing.

In the end, the amount involved in the contract was as high as US$32 million.

In the beginning, Zhu Ke did not intend to sell the entire overseas copyright of "Juneo", but intended to sell only the overseas distribution rights of the film. But when he thought of the various shady releases in Hollywood, that could only be the case.

Can't help Zhu Ke accidentally.

The bottom line of big Hollywood companies is really too low!

Even if they have signed the issuance contract, they can get the overseas box office share, but they can legally encroach on Zhu Ke's interests as long as they use their hands.

Of course, there is good news.

After the signing of the contract, the pressure on the media and theatrical line of "Juneo" produced by Wald Pictures was also resolved because of Paramount's action.

"Since Paramount has purchased the overseas copyright of Juno, they certainly can't just watch the North American box office hit hard. After all, the North American box office is the vane of overseas box office, which involves their interests."

Victor said.

Zhu Ke was deeply impressed by this remark.

In fact it is the same!

After the contract was signed, less than five hours later, the major theaters in North America readjusted the schedule of "Juneo" and increased the screen more or less.

"Tsk tut~!"

Zhu Ke sighed: "A big company is a big company. It hasn't been long since the release, and the number of screens for our movies has recovered to more than 2,400."

While feeling that Paramount was powerful, Zhuke felt more powerless in his heart.

"Damn it! Without a complete distribution network, without the presence of media power, Lao Tzu will encounter this kind of useless incident in the future."

At this moment, Zhuke thought a lot in his mind.

The reason why the six major Hollywood is so powerful that they dominate the entire Hollywood like kings, overlooking the rising and falling clouds, is it not because there are complete global distribution channels and the existence of media power throughout the United States and even the world?

"I want to distribute channels!"

"There are also TV stations, media and newspapers!"

"If I have these, I will see who would dare to follow me by then!"

.......

9 pm.

Zucker’s villa.

Today, we welcomed two guests.

Former ace negotiation expert Kang Di, barrister Zhang Wei.

"You two, I'm sorry to invite you over so late, so I won't go around." Zhu Ke pretended to be sorry.

Puff puff~!

Before Zhuke finished speaking, Kangdi, who was drinking water, couldn't help but spray out.

"Condy, you are really disgusting."

Zhuke was disgusted.

Kangdi quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Man, you say I'm sick? I think it's you. We haven't met in a few months. When did you learn to speak like a'gentleman'? It's not the one I know. The'crude' young man."

"Well, just assume I didn't say it."

At this moment, Zhuke was also quite speechless.

Why is Lao Tzu a vulgar young man?Can't I grow?Isn't it possible that there is a feeling of being admired for three days?

The barrister Zhang Wei on the side smiled and did not speak.

Next, Zhu Ke will share his thoughts on acquiring TV stations, media and newspapers, as well as the difficulties in the previous period.

"Zuke, you want to buy a TV station?"

Kangdi couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Man, you don't have a fever, do you? Do you know how much it costs to buy a TV station or build a media network? Do you have the money?!"

Three consecutive questions are a reminder!

Zhu Ke did not answer Condy's question directly, but pointed at the barrister Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei knew it, and said solemnly: "Mr. Condy, please allow me to introduce the gentleman beside me. Zhuke Wald, he is the owner of the chain stores around SpongeBob Squarepants House and the third echelon in Hollywood. The owner of Erde Pictures, the owner of a building worth 9 million US dollars in Silicon Valley, the full shareholder of California Standard Bank, the owner of the copyright of "The Talent Show", the largest individual shareholder of icq... ."

After some words came to an end, Kangdi was stunned!

"I'm going~!"

"Old man, haven't we seen you for a few months? Why do you have so much money now?!"

"He even holds 2% of Yahoo!"

"In addition, are you still the largest individual shareholder of the icq that has exploded recently?"

"Oh my God!"

"Your assets are over 100 million, right?!"

.......

At this moment, let alone Condi, if you replace it with anyone, you will probably be shocked.

Who would have thought that a few months ago, a person who often drank and slapped himself and chatted with him would become a billionaire in an instant?

"Condy, you are wrong. My assets are not more than 100 million dollars, but more than 200 million US dollars."

Hearing Condy's words of astonishment, Zhu Ke was a little proud.

Well, although Zhu Ke’s current achievements may not be as good as those of many traversers, as an ordinary person, being able to work out such a wealth of billions in just over a year is already quite proud. thing.

"Old man, do you still think I don't have the money to buy TV stations and set up media channels?" Zhu Ke looked at Kangdi indifferently.

What else can Condy say when the voice falls?

"Damn capitalist~!"

Well, Condy can only curse a few words.

.......

...........

Conti is a talent, and Zhuke knows this very well.

In the more than a year, Zhuke has invited him to join his company many times, but he refused. In his words, he now doesn't want to be restrained, just wants to be a freelancer.

I have to say that in the matter of acquiring TV stations, Kangdi's actions are impressive.

In less than a week, a TV station was basically settled, oh no, it is a TV network with two TV stations to be precise.

——UPN Television Network!

Sometimes I have to sigh the wonder of fate. The owner of UPN TV network is the Viacom Group, the parent company of old friend Paramount.

Speaking of UPN TV network, not many people may know about it in the future, but when it comes to CW's name, some people have heard of it.

"Smallville", "The Flash", "The Vampire Diaries"...

The above American dramas are all produced by CW Television Network.

CW Television Network is a public television network in the United States. It was established in 2006. Its predecessor was based on Warner's WB Television Network and Paramount's UPN Television Network.

"Zuke, UPN TV Network is definitely the best TV station for your current needs."

Kangdi explained: "This company was established in 1992, and the personnel composition of all departments is relatively complete. After the broadcast, the price is not high due to the year-round low ratings. According to the statistics company's estimation, the purchase price is about 3000. ~$32 million."

More than 30 million dollars?!

Hearing this, Zhu Ke couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Come on~!

Because of the sale of all overseas copyrights and sequel production rights of "Juneo", the $32 million that was just acquired from Paramount seems to be thrown back to them.

However, Zhuke is not a pity.

Although the money is gone, but somehow I started a TV station, don't you think?

"Now it's ok, "SpongeBob SquarePants" don't need to find a broadcasting platform; um, yes, there is also the North American copyright of "The Talent Show", you don't need to sell it, you can do it yourself!"

For a time, Zhuke thought a lot.

Huh?

It seems that the National Real Wrestling Tournament (WEE) can be played!
