Hollywood starts with animation

Some day at the end of May.

As the boss of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, Zhu Ke needs to patrol his company.

Even if you act as a shopkeeper, you can't let the company completely break away from your own control, otherwise it will inevitably lead to a situation where you can't get rid of it.

Financial review, introduction and replacement of important equipment, appointment of personnel in important positions, etc., all need to be reviewed and decided by Zhu Ke himself.

First stop: Wald Pictures.

As a subsidiary of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, it is the most core subsidiary.

Victor, the CEO of the head office and also the CEO of Wald Pictures, received news early in the morning and accompanied Zhu Ke to review the company's situation.

"Boss, the materials in front of you are the result of a week's review by the head office's finance team." Victor pointed to the files on the desk.

The content of the file is not much, only dozens of pages.

Of course, this is the result of the review, sorting, and streamlining of the financial team led by Martha, otherwise it would definitely be a stack of original data.

There are so many headaches!

Zhuke listened to Victor's explanation while looking at the sorted information.

"Boss, now the distribution department of Wald Pictures has grown from a distribution business covering only 6 states last year to 35 states."

“There are 13 states left in the 48 local states. As for the two overseas Alaska and Hawaii states, we are currently sending out manpower to start the distribution business. It is expected that before the end of this year, our distribution network of Wald Pictures , Can fully deploy the entire United States."

Zhuke nodded immediately.

There is comfort and bitterness.

You must know that the distribution network of Wald Pictures can cover such a place so quickly, Zhu Ke paid real money!

Since the establishment of Wald Pictures, Zhuke has never drawn any money from it. Except for the shooting funds of various movies, all the remaining funds have been used to expand the company's distribution network.

Moreover, the money is not enough!

Therefore, Zhu Ke pledged part of the film company shares and the rights of several films, and borrowed 30 million US dollars from Wells Fargo Bank, and all his mother's money went into the distribution department.

"Not bad, not in vain that much money I invested!"

Zhu Ke nodded in relief.

Victor added: "Boss, for the formation of the distribution department, the U.S. dollar needs continuous investment. After all, when we have a distribution network covering the entire United States, the next step is to establish a distribution network covering the entire North America. The internet."

"The next step is to enter South America!"

"Then Europe, Asia, Australia, etc., all of which require large sums of money."

The corners of Zhu Ke's mouth twitched as the voice fell.

"..."

What else can Zhuke say now?

The formation of the issuing department is simply a huge gold swallowing beast!

It cost more than US$50 million to build a distribution network covering more than half of the United States.

So, one can imagine how difficult it is to form a global distribution business!

Moreover, when the day comes to go out of North America, the pressure you face is not only the pressure of funds, but also the pressure of the film and television distribution industries of other countries!

And various local protection policies of various governments.

This is also the reason why Hollywood's top six is ​​always the top six.

Only they can distribute films from all over the world to the world.The film and television colleagues in other countries, let alone surpassed, they don't even have the qualifications to expect it.

No funds

Secondly, there is no strong network.

The most important thing is that in order to form a global distribution business, which one of the six major Hollywood companies has not cultivated in it for decades?

Wald Pictures still has a long way to go!

"Victor, don't care about anything else. We should first complete the distribution network covering the United States and North America. As for the distribution business in Europe and other places, we will look back."

Zhuke's tone was full of helplessness.

"Okay, boss." Victor replied.

In addition to the six major Hollywood film companies, the other second-tier film companies are not bad in strength, and the shareholders behind them are also powerful figures. The distribution business covers the entire United States, and even North America, without any problem.

but!

They just don't have a global distribution business!

Even if it is a film that has the top three annual box office charts in North America, such as the peak entertainment of the "Twilight" series.However, in order to promote the film to overseas markets, it can only accept the exploitation of the six major Hollywood.

Always be controlled by others!

Under long-term suppression, even if all of them were ambitious in the beginning, they would eventually be acquired by the Big Six, or eliminated.

Think of the DreamWorks created by Spielberg, Katzenberg, and David Geffen!

What a sensation it was when DreamWorks was founded!

Once upon a time, it once claimed to be a big company that "could compete with the Big Six".

For several consecutive years, "Saving Private Ryan", "Shrek", "Kung Fu Panda" and other well-known movies that swept Oscars have been produced.But in the end, wasn't it also dismembered and acquired because of the suppression of the Sixth National Congress?

One of the most important reasons is that there is no network covering the global distribution business!

"Damn it!"

"I don't want that much now!"

"I spent money to build it first, try it out."

"Learning from Shimen Film Industry, it took ten years and more than one billion US dollars to establish a global distribution business."

"After a few years, if it still doesn't work, then I will buy one of the Big Six."

Zhuke is confident.

Isn't it just money? As a traverser, I still have this confidence.

.......

In the following time, Victor explained the shooting of the three films "Fatal Turn 2", "Human Removal Project", and "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" with Zhu Ke.

"Boss, the "Human Removal Project" of the three films, has been closed as early as the beginning of the month, and has started post-editing and other production. The film has been rough cut three times, and it is expected that it will be completed in two weeks. "Victor said.

"Uh......."

Zhuke couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "It seems that Zach is really anxious. It has only been less than 4 months. How he wants to shoot "Spartan 300" quickly!"

Victor also smiled and said: "It's a bit faster, but from the situation reflected by Kevin Fitch, Zach is not eager to get things done and shoddy."

Zhuke nodded: "I have never doubted the quality of Zach's directorial work. He is a pursued director. Well, how about Nolan's situation?"

Nolan?!

Speaking of Nolan, Victor immediately came to the spirit.

"Boss, I have to say that you have a good eye for people. I have been to the filming site of "Fatal Bend" several times, and I have also seen a few rough cuts. Director Nolan is indeed quite talented. From my professional perspective, his future achievements will not be low."

"Haha." Zhu Ke smiled unkindly.

Nolan, no film in his lifetime has a score lower than 7.5, is one of the few directors that combines art and business.

Can his future achievements be low?

The Sixth Sense of Supernatural being directed by Shamaran is even more worrying for Zhuke.

Everything is going very smoothly!

After all, Shamaran has an amazing artistic level in the subject of supernatural horror.Zhu Ke is very looking forward to this film. You must know that it is a film with a box office runner-up in 1999 and a global box office of more than $600 million!
