Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 225 Lincoln Park and "Finding Nemo"

For the Golden Dawn Music Company, Zhu Ke is a proud one.

"The Talent Show" is a well-known variety show in the United States. Although there are various performances such as talk shows and magic, the type with the most contestants is still the song singing.

Jinshuguang Music takes advantage of the platform and can greatly attract popular singers to join!

Aside from Eminem, Beyoncé and others in the first season, the second season of the show just ended more than a month ago, and three other popular players joined Jin Shuguang Music, and they released related news not long ago. Album.Cumulative record sales have also exceeded 5 million.

This is all money!

And still quick money!

Excluding various channel fees and expenses, only three new singers who joined the company soon have earned 16 million U.S. dollars in revenue from Jin Shuguang Music.

"This money is really good!"

Rao is the now amazing Zhu Ke, and he has to sigh.

From the beginning of 1998 to November 1998, in just one year, Jin Shuguang Music generated 390 million U.S. dollars in revenue. Excluding various expenses, the net profit reached 87.5 million U.S. dollars.

This profit amount is enough to guarantee Suguang Music to secure its place in the top ten music entertainment companies.

"what?!"

Zhuke looked at the report and suddenly said: "Domino, what is the origin of this JIVE record company, it's really amazing!"

It's not that Zhu Ke was overly surprised, but JIVE Records was indeed amazing.

In November, "American Grammy Weekly" just published the annual profit rankings of major music companies in the United States.

Jin Shuguang Music's annual profitability ranked 9th;

JIVE Records is ranked 5th;

Revenue has explained a lot. The most important thing is that JIVE Records is very small, far inferior to giant music companies such as West Coast Records and Sony Music. Even if it is compared with Jin Shuguang Music, it is much inferior.

You know, the reason why Jin Shuguang Music can rank 9th is because of the existence of singers such as Eminem and Beyoncé;

But what does a small music company like JIVE Records have?

Why does it make so much profit in a year?!

"Boss, JIVE Records is indeed a small company. The total staff of the entire company is less than 50. But who told them to discover the two male idol groups of Backstreet Boys and Super Boys?"

Domino envy said: "The two groups Backstreet Boys and Super Boys are very popular among American youth groups. It is no exaggeration to say that any music company sitting on them can achieve high returns."

Backstreet Boys?

Super Boy?

Well, Zhuke has heard a lot of their songs in his last life, and they were indeed very popular.

"What a fucking shit!"

Zhuke curled his lips jealously.

However, Domino on the side was speechless.

We must know that in the eyes of the outside world, the reason why Jin Shuguang music is so strong is entirely dependent on the existence of Eminem and Beyoncé, of course, it also relies on the platform advantages of the "God Talent Show" program.

"Boss, in the eyes of outsiders, you are the luckiest one!" Domino slandered.

Eminem, Beyoncé, and the new company's sweetheart Spears, which one is not the famous existence in the 21st century?

"Domino, how do men's groups make money now?" Zhuke asked suddenly.

"Yes!"

When it comes to professional issues, Domino appears very confident. He affirmed: “Since 1996, the profitability of men’s groups in music has been increasing year by year, especially for rap and rock genres, with annual growth rates of 67%~110%. ."

Hearing this, Zhu Ke was speechless.

What is fast money, this is fast money!

At the end of the 1990s when Internet music downloads were not yet popular, the profitability of records was indeed very appalling!

The market value of each music giant is nearly tens of billions of dollars;

However, by 2010, even giant companies such as Universal Music and Sony Records had a market value of only US$1 to US$2 billion.

This is the inevitable trend of the times and the development of science and technology.

"Ding Dong!"

The long-lost system has appeared again!

[Congratulations to the host for a piece of future information.

"Fuck!"

The system that had been pretending to be dead for half a year unexpectedly bubbling again.

[On December 1, 1998, the male singer group Lincoln Park was swept out by Warner Records, reminding the host that they can cut their Hus.

Lincoln Park!!!

For Linkin Park, Zhuke, as a traverser, certainly knows their existence.

"I dare not say that it is the most powerful heavy metal rock team in the early 21st century, but it is definitely the team with the best sales and popularity."

What else does Zhuke have to say?

Of course, hand out the olive branch and summon it to his subordinates!

........

Somewhere in Los Angeles.

"Everyone, give your opinion."

Chester Bennington, the lead singer of the band and the soul of the team, looked around at several other team partners.

The guitarist Brad Delson first got up and said loudly: "I think I can accept the invitation of Golden Dawn Records. After all, Warner Records doesn't like us. Can we still rely on it?"

When the voice fell, several key members including the bassist and drummer also agreed with this decision.

No people here, there are places to keep them!

Who is a rock guy who is not very arrogant?!

"Done!"

Chester Bennington, the soul man, is not indecisive, otherwise he would not commit suicide in 2017.

In this way, the famous Lincoln Park in the future will join the Golden Dawn Music Company!

There is no doubt that Zhuke has another cash cow!

.......

Water World Animation Studio.

"David and Stephen, are you sure that "Finding Nemo" can be completed early next year?"

Zhu Ke looked at the two in front of him in surprise.

"Yes!"

Chief screenwriter David Messer affirmed: "If it weren't for excellence, we wouldn't have spent more than two years. Now it is slow."

Leading chief Stephen Solenberg echoed: "David is right. It took us more than half a year to shoot in Australian ocean waters, otherwise it would not take that long to complete the film."

Happiness!

After getting a positive answer, Zhu Ke was immediately excited!

Man, that's "Finding Nemo"!

In the original time and space, the film was released in 2003. Once it was released, it not only won the global box office of 860 million US dollars, but also won the Oscar for Best Animation.

The profitability of its offline market is quite amazing!

The most critical is the "Finding Nemo" series, in the original time and space, but two shots in one fell swoop.The second one is the first time in 13 years, but still achieved a global box office of 730 million US dollars.

Zhu Ke said excitedly: "Then you finish it as soon as possible, and I will discuss with the theaters to arrange for the movie to be released during the summer or Thanksgiving."

"Okay, boss!"

Both Stephen and David are quite excited at the moment!

After all, "Finding Nemo" animation film, from the project to the production, until now, but a full two and a half years.This is still with the help of Zhu Ke, the opener, otherwise the time must be extended by at least one year.

The bitterness is not enough for outsiders.

"" The second update is sent.
