Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 208 European Strategy-Football

At the end of June.

Jinshuguang Entertainment Group held its second executive meeting in mid-year.

The core of this conference is still the preparation of overseas distribution channels for films.

"First of all, we have to clarify the fact that our cooperation with Paramount on overseas film distribution is over~!"

"No longer exists!"

"I also tell you a word, we do not rule out cooperating with other Hollywood film companies in the future, but in terms of overseas distribution, we at Wald Pictures must self-prepared to establish a film distribution channel outside of the United States, which is not negotiable! "

"We must have distribution channels in the four major states of South America, Europe, Australia, and Asia!"

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhuke rarely showed a very strong side, and cut off some executives who wanted to restore their old ideas with Paramount.

The powerful Zhu Ke suffocated many group executives at the scene.

There are still many executives who have illusions about Paramount's cooperation in the distribution of overseas films.

First of all, following Hollywood's six majors, you can put aside the problem of distribution and make full-scale movies, which is enough to protect the company's high annual profits;

Secondly, when countless people see the Big Six in Hollywood, they will lower their heads innately.

Because the six major Hollywood companies are too strong and too powerful!

Looking at the development of Hollywood in the past 20 years, too many companies have risen. They want to challenge the status of the Big Six, but the result?

Either it was acquired or turned into the dust of history!

Even today's extremely powerful DreamWorks, can't breathe under the suppression of the six!

"Everyone, please remember, I am not a Don Quixote challenger, I am a rich man, a very rich man!"

Zhu Ke glanced at the people present, and said solemnly: "Victor, you are the CEO of the group, and you express your opinion."

Victor?

For a while, all the eyes of everyone present were focused on CEO Victor.

Kevin Fitch is composure;

Bill McNick put his arms around his chest, with great interest;

Donna Langley has no expression on her face;

Taro Hashimoto's eyes are fixed;

Domino's eyes shine;

A group of executives showed a variety of styles.As the first person under the group company Zhu Ke, he Victor has such an influence, otherwise, why would he be able to get the option award in the coming year?

"I support the boss' decision to terminate the follow-up cooperation with Paramount on overseas film distribution!"

Regardless of the discoloration of many people, Victor immediately said: "On this issue, I have a set of data here that I want to show you."

[In 1996, the movie "Lola Run"]

North American box office: $14.9 million;

Overseas box office: 115 million US dollars;

Wald Pictures sold the overseas copyright of the film to Paramount for $2 million.

As of June 1998.

With regard to the "Lola Run" movie, Wald Pictures made a total profit of US$9.2 million in the box office, offline market, and peripheral licensing channels;

On the other hand, Paramount Pictures, in just over two years, the related income of the "Lola Run" movie has brought it at least 45 million to 55 million US dollars in profit.

In other words, in the matter of "Lola Run", Wald Pictures' profit is only a fraction of Paramount.

Completely reduced to a wage earner!

For a time, a group of group executives who were prepared, looked ugly at the moment.

There are six films in the "Fatal Bend" series, "Human Clear Lake Project 1," "Shards of Memory", "Juneo", and "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural"...

Groups of related data are constantly presented in front of everyone.

"Everyone, do you know?"

"With these six films alone, Paramount made at least $300 million in revenue from various channels overseas!"

"Especially "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", which has achieved a box office of more than 600 million U.S. dollars in the global market. The final profit of the film produced under the circumstances that we invested in countless manpower, material resources and financial resources was even worthy It's on par with Paramount as an overseas publisher, or even slightly inferior."

"Do we still need to continue this kind of exploitative and blood-sucking cooperation?"

Victor looked around and said solemnly: "Remember, we are not touchstones, emperor gates, lion gates movie companies, our chairman, Mr. Zhuke Wald, he is a super rich man with a net worth of over 2 billion US dollars. , Ability and financial resources make us a stronger existence."

Ms. Donna nodded: "I agree with the decision of the boss and Mr. Jones."

Old Bill: "There is nothing to say, since the boss is rich, then we have nothing to worry about, support!"

Kevin Fitch: "Our cooperation with the Carlos Foundation, the self-prepared distribution channel in Mexico, and the layout in South America are generally good, and markets such as Europe cannot be overlooked."

Domino: "I am in charge of music, but the expansion of the company's film business channels will definitely promote the music sector. I have no reason to oppose it."

Hashimoto Taro: "In the current global market, channels are still an indispensable and important component. I agree with the decision of the boss."

.......

The successive statements of the heads of subsidiaries directly made Zhu Ke's decision an unstoppable reality.

In fact, the outcome of this meeting is not very important!

Because Zhuke has already decided.!

However, the support of the executives and responsible persons of the subsidiaries will allow those fantasists and wall-riders to be driven to the express train, to forge ahead with the company, and exert stronger efficiency.

At the same time, from the data report provided by CEO Victor, it is indeed that Paramount has taken a huge profit, but Victor has "actively" ignored a fact.

"Without Paramount's strong overseas distribution capabilities, those movies would not be able to get such a high box office!"

Victor actively ignored;

Zhu Ke and others also actively ignored it!

This is because this meeting is not a "discussion" meeting at all, but a meeting for all senior management to clarify the facts and give everyone confidence.

"I just want to do it alone, not working with Paramount!"

This is the key.

In addition, Zhu Ke directly set the target with a wave of his beater at the meeting.

Abbreviation: European Strategy!

.......

July 3.

During the 1998 World Cup in France, Bill McNick, as a representative of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, went to Europe in person to discuss some cooperation with the senior leaders of the UEFA committee.

"Become Famous"!

"Mr. McNick, your company is going to obtain the authorization of our UEFA to start shooting this "Fame in One Go"?" UEFA President Gehad Aigner frowned.

(Note: Before 1999, the president of UEFA was called the general secretary. Here, the name after 1999 is directly adopted.)

"Yes."

Old Bill solemnly said: "We asked you what you mean with UEFA on the first stop, and cooperated with FIFA on the second stop, and strive to create a football movie, or even a series of football movies, that we can make a profit, and You can expand your influence. This is a win-win behavior."

Except for the first one at the box office, the other two of the "Fame by One Goal" series are not good enough, but its influence is world-renowned.

You may not have seen the movie "Become Famous", but you must have heard of it.

This is an important entry point for Wald Pictures and Golden Dawn Entertainment Group to expand their influence in Europe.

The first update of "" will be sent, and today 4 will be updated to make up for what we owed yesterday.
