Hollywood starts with animation

MDS (Midas) Pictures.

It is a film company focusing on film production, distribution, and DVD distribution. It is located in the Burbank area, just one street away from the Wald Pictures Building.

"Mr. Brandon Midas, our Golden Shuguang Group is here with sincerity."

Taro Hashimoto solemnly looked at the sad man in front of him.

Brandon Midas is 27 years old and is the second-generation successor of MDS Pictures. He took over MDS Pictures from his father five years ago.He had just left school and was ambitious, planning to carry forward the MDS film industry that his father had left him.

but!

However, his heart is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper.

He messed up several big projects one after another, causing heavy losses to MDS Pictures.

"Mr. Hashimoto, you let me think about it again. After all, the film library of MDS Pictures is the hard work of my father for many years." Brandon said solemnly.

"I understand you!"

Taro Hashimoto said: "But the bank will never understand you and your company. If you don't sell the library, would you sell the company directly? That's sorry for your father in heaven."

For a moment, Brandon was silent.

The pressure on him from the bank really made him breathless.

In these years, anywhere in the world, if you owe money to banks, then those damn banks are bound to chase you.

Of course, the premise is that your company is in a downturn.

Otherwise, in the face of large and well-developed companies, those banks are eager for you to borrow more, and even beg you to borrow.

a long time.

Brandon said: "Mr. Hashimoto, in addition to the film library, we also have film distribution channels. Our company is sold to your company as a whole, don't you know if it is possible?"

Sold as a whole?

Ha ha!

Wald Pictures now has no shortage of distribution channels, well, at least there is no shortage of distribution channels in the United States!

"Mr. Brandon, you have to know one thing. For your MDS Pictures, we are only interested in the copyrights of 65 movies in the MDS Pictures library. As for the others, please forgive me for nothing." Taro Hashimoto said bluntly .

"......"

Brandon was silent again.

Two days later.

Brandon, who received multiple bank calls again, finally compromised.

In desperation, he could only sell the film library of his own film company.

Taro Hashimoto paid US$2.8 million to take the ownership of 65 films in MDS Pictures.

In the following days, Taro Hashimoto led his team, constantly traveling to and from Hollywood's second- and third-tier film companies, seeking to buy the film rights in their library, and to enrich the film library of Wald Pictures.

what?

Why don't you go to the top six in Hollywood?

Ha ha!

The six major Hollywood companies are rich and powerful, and they don't lack that money.Moreover, behind them are large media groups with their own TV platforms, home entertainment departments, and even Disney and Universal, as well as entertainment cities.

They can make the most of the film library of massive movie rights.

Every year, those film libraries can bring them a steady profit of tens of millions of dollars. How can they be sold?

Therefore, if Hashimoto Taro wants to collect those film rights, he can only seek second and third-tier film companies.

Of course, those stores that provide DVD rental services are also one of the important goals.

Blockbuster Group is the largest sales chain of DVD and video tape rental services and sales services in the United States. At its peak, it had 9,000 stores, more than 60,000 employees, and a market value of more than 30 billion US dollars;

Of course, the entire United States cannot be the only chain store that provides DVD and video tape rental and sales.

In the United States, there are also numerous DVD and video tape stores.

But nowadays, Blockbuster is the dominant company, and other companies are shivering and overwhelmed. Bankruptcies, bankruptcies, bankruptcies, and store cuts are happening every day.

However, you can't underestimate them.

The skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and they have a lot of film rights and ownership.

.......

As of the end of January, Taro Hashimoto and his team have collected the copyright and ownership of as many as 1,400 movies.

"Boss, the number of movies currently in our library, even if we look at all Hollywood studios, is second only to Hollywood's six and MGM, ranking eighth." Hashimoto Taro Hui reported.

Zhuke nodded in satisfaction.

However, Zhuke is a bit pity.

"There are indeed a lot of copyrights for these 1,400 movies, but the quality is really a headache!" Zhu Ke laughed.

Hashimoto Taro: "Boss, the copyright of those excellent movies is in the hands of big companies, um, and Blockbuster, we can't do much."

"Well, I know you tried your best."

Zhuke has nothing to say.

The quality is not good, but the quantity will come together.

The copyright of an excellent film may be worth tens of millions of dollars;

The copyright of a low-quality film is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of dollars.Of course, even lower, a few thousand dollars can be won.

The expensive one is dying;

No one wants cheap free picks;

"Nothing!"

Zhu Klang said: "It doesn't matter if the copyrights of those junk movies don't make money. At least it enriches our film library. Besides, we can double the profits from DVD manufacturers like Sony and Toshiba in the future."

Zhuke didn't feel a loss at all.

You know, the later, the more valuable the copyright of the film!

Especially after 2010, when the Internet online video and streaming media sites emerged, even the copyright of junk movies can also bring rich returns to the company.

Zhu Piao, classmate, will never make a loss business!

"By the way, how much is it spent now?" Zhu Ke asked.

"Boss, a total of 60 million U.S. dollars has been spent so far. It's not that I don't want to spend 100 million U.S. dollars. It is because many movies are too general and have no desirable value at all." Hashimoto Taro smiled bitterly.

"Hahaha~!"

Zhu Ke waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, you just spend the money and spend the 100 million dollars. No matter how trash the movie rights are, there is a time to make money. Let go and do it boldly~"

"Yes, boss."

As Zhu Ke said, the copyright of these junk movies will also bring Zhu Ke extremely rich returns in the future.

It can be said to be a big profit.

.......

at the same time.

Paramount Pictures.

CEO Shirley Lansing looked at Jordan and asked: "You said, Golden Dawn Group collects film rights on a large scale, what is their purpose?"

Hearing this, Jordan shook his head.

"Boss, logically speaking, they collect copyrights from major, medium and small companies in Hollywood in order to enrich the film library, which is understandable for the recently established Wald Pictures."

"but!"

"The weird thing is that they are not afraid of meat and vegetables."

"Whether it is the copyright of excellent movies or the copyright of those junk movies, they don't let it go, which makes me very confused."

"After all, the copyright of those junk movies is completely useless."

Jordan said solemnly: "That fellow Zhuke Wald is such a cunning man. It stands to reason that he should know the copyright of those junk movies. It is useless. But now this one, I really don't understand."

Shirley Lansing was also very puzzled at the moment.

How do they know that the reason why Zhu Ke is not afraid of meat and vegetables is because he knows the future DVD format battle.What about junk copyright, DVD manufacturers such as Sony and Toshiba are at the bottom. They will not lose money at all, but will only make a fortune.

"Um~~"

Shirley Lansing pondered: "So, you don't care about him. Didn't it mean that Wald Pictures has two new movies to be released? You will pay more attention in the near future."

"Okay, boss."

Although the cooperation between Paramount and Wald Pictures is now over, Paramount still has a zealous attitude towards Wald Pictures and wants to buy it one day.

"" The second update is sent.
