Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 247 Expansion of the Film Library

"Dear ladies and gentlemen, I announce that the 32nd NFL (Professional Football League) annual championship Super Bowl advertisement has officially started bidding!"

The host's voice fell, and hundreds of people throughout the scene responded with applause.

The Super Bowl, watched by hundreds of millions of people, has this appeal!

The extremely huge exposure is the existence that all companies dream of.

"This time the Super Bowl midfield advertising time will reach three minutes, which is 180 seconds. This time there will be 6 30-second main advertising spots and 12 live venue advertisements."

"First of all, the first 30-second commercial will be shot, with a base price of 200,000 US dollars, and each price increase is not less than 10,000 US dollars."

The bidding host shouted passionately, waving his hands constantly in the air.

200,000 starting price?

To be honest, this price is really expensive, after all, the advertising time is only 30 seconds.

"Hiss~~!"

"This year's base price is $50,000 higher than last year's $150,000."

"The NFL Major League is trying to kill us as fat sheep!"

Suddenly, a large number of business representatives quietly retreated.

This year's starting price is as high as 200,000 U.S. dollars, so the final falling hammer price cannot exceed one million U.S. dollars!

Not everyone has Zhuke's financial resources.

"Bah~~!"

"Don't come if you don't have money, a bunch of stingers who can't bear to spend money."

At this moment, among the people sitting around him, there was a burst of laughter.

Suddenly, the man who said this attracted the attention of many people present, and Zhuke and Bezos also followed their reputation.

"Who is he?"

Zhuke frowned at the young brown-haired man who had been doing it in the back row, who was less than 30 years old.

Hearing this, Zhu Ke's chief assistant Alexander shook his head.

"I know."

Bezos smiled and said: "He is the owner of Mitch.com, similar to Yahoo. He is a portal site. Two years ago, he was a car mechanic and worried about three meals a day, but luckily caught up. In this era of the Internet, his portal planning has been favored by a Wall Street investment bank. Now it is developing well, and the market value of Mitch’s portal is as high as US$300 million."

"Oh, would you know?"

Zhu Ke was a little confused, but also a little bit sorrowful.

The portal!

In the United States of America in the late 1990s, there was definitely something to do with portals!

In just a few years since its establishment, Yahoo has a market value of nearly 40 billion U.S. dollars, which speaks for itself.

The portal website, Zhu Ke had planned to do it before, but at that time, it caught up with the Asian financial crisis, so Zhu Ke gave up.

"Zuke, don't underestimate me. I have a lot of knowledge about the newly emerging Internet companies in the United States."

"Oh, yes, even if you take a 30% stake in Google, I know."

Bezos's face was full of pride.

Zhuke condensed his expression and said with a thumbs up: "No wonder you can succeed, you are amazing at this point!"

"Of course." Bezos shuddered.

Lucky?

Zhuke didn't like this title.

Because in the eyes of many outsiders, Zhuke, like the owner of Mitch’s portal, is also the lucky one of the era.

In the United States, a person who has not gone to college or higher education, even if you are worth billions, in the eyes of many upper-class people, you are ultimately a lucky person.

"Humph!"

Zhu Ke secretly said: "Waiting for one day I will become the world's richest man, and see who dares to look down on me."

Why did ICQ's Wisger and Zhuke turn their faces?

The main reason is that he doesn't look down on Zhu Ke without a higher education.He sneered at the several development proposals mentioned by Zhu Ke.

In his words, um...student scum, how much can you understand?

.......

"300000!"

"Fart, I'll pay 500,000!"

"600000!"

In a blink of an eye, the auction price of the first 30-second advertisement continued to rise.

Many companies feel powerless and announce to give up.However, more people join the competition, and most of them are Internet companies.

Before the dot-com bubble, Internet companies were indeed rich in wealth.

"1.3 million dollars!"

The first 30-second advertisement for the 32nd Super Bowl was sold for $1.3 million.The person who paid this price was indeed the owner of Mitch’s portal.

"Look at it, I said it a long time ago, don't fight with me, now I'm fighting, didn't I win?" The owner of Mitch's website arrogantly.

This sentence caused many people around to glared.

"This damn guy is really arrogant." A middle-aged man couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

Zhuke shook his head.

Mitch website?

Haha, it's just a garbage portal.

Zhuke hadn't heard of it anyway in his previous life.

"It is estimated that after the Internet bubble broke out, it was either bankrupt or acquired by other companies." Zhu Ke thought.

Under the Internet bubble, let alone small shrimps like Miche, even giants like Yahoo have suffered heavy losses.

Nasdaq’s Dow Jones Index fell nearly 3,000 points, you are kidding.

.......

In the following time, Zhuke and Bezos were not on the sidelines and joined the bidding.

Zhu Ke won the third 30-second advertisement in one fell swoop, with a transaction price of 1.19 million US dollars;

Bezos won the fifth 30-second commercial with a transaction price of $1.26 million;

In the end, in less than an hour, the 32nd Super Bowl ads were all shot, with a total price of 11 million US dollars.

It doesn't sound like much.

In 2020, a 30-second advertisement for the Super Bowl will cost as much as 5.6 million U.S. dollars for a single advertisement; the number of auctioned ads will be as high as 77, and only the advertising part will make a direct profit of 120 million U.S. dollars.

But don’t forget, it’s 1999!

The dollar has not depreciated to such an extremely low level.

In 1999, the total advertising cost of 11 million US dollars was 45% higher than that in 1998.And there are a total of 18 advertisements, of which 13 are made by Internet companies.

The wealth of Internet companies is big enough to be seen before the crisis breaks out.

"These damn Internet companies~"

"These damn rich people!"

"Arrogant, keep arrogant~"

"I want to see next year. How many Internet companies can I visit?"

Zhuke couldn't help but curl his lips.

For $1.19 million to buy a 30-second advertisement, Zhu Ke really feels distressed, even if it is a Super Bowl advertisement.

You should know that in the original time and space, a 30-second advertisement for the Super Bowl in 2000 can be done for $500,000 to $850,000.

.......

Return to Los Angeles.

"Boss, Mr. Taro Hashimoto wants to see you." Alexander said.

"Oh? Let him in."

Zhuke frowned and immediately put down his report about the upcoming release of "My Grand Greek Wedding" on Valentine's Day.

Not long after, Taro Hashimoto came in.

"Boss, I am looking for you this time because I hope that the group can set up a new department-home entertainment department." Taro Hashimoto said straight to the point.

Zhuke pondered for a few seconds, "The home entertainment department? You mean, you want the group to acquire the related film rights of other film companies to expand the company's film library?"

"" The second update is sent.
