Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 257 An Insane Warner Chairman

$17.5 million!

This is the movie "My Grand Greek Wedding", which premiered at the North American box office on Valentine's Day, February 14.

Undisputedly became No. 1 in the North American box office rankings of the day!

The second place is the film "Trust in a Bottle" produced by Warner, with 19.3% of the film output, and reported to receive 13.2 million US dollars.

In this contest between Zhuke and Time Warner, Zhuke won a phased victory.

And it was a victory that stunned many people!

The $17.5 million box office amount, if compared with the box office of those high-cost blockbuster films of more than 40 million yuan on the first day, is a very clumsy comparison, but you must understand that it is just a love movie.

A love movie can receive 17.5 million US dollars for the first day, which is an incredible amount.

"I go!"

After seeing the report, Jordan, an old friend of Paramount Pictures, couldn't help but blurt out: "Awesome! Zhuke Wald, you can't imagine that you have developed to this level in just a few years, even Warner Media has all the power. Under the circumstances, you can win, I have to say that you are good enough."

If you ask the entire Hollywood, who first came into contact with Zhuke?

That is undoubtedly his Jordan!

During this Valentine's Day schedule, Jordan thought that Zhuke would lose without Paramount's asylum and Warner's targeting, but he never expected Zhuke to counterattack.

Man, that's Warner!

No wonder Jordan is not surprised!

Miramax Pictures.

President Harvey Weinstein's pupils shrank.

"My God~!"

"how can that be?!"

"AOL has 25 million users and is growing at a rate of 50,000 per week, with a market value of nearly 300 billion U.S. dollars. It is the largest Internet emerging media giant in the United States and even the world. How could it get together with Zhu Ke? go with?"

"Is this world crazy?!"

Harvey Weinstein can also be regarded as a senior practitioner in Hollywood. He has been in the world for decades and has seen a lot of wind and waves, but he did not expect that because of a movie, he was involved in two media giants.

America Online;

Time warner

"It's just a movie, is it so big?" Harvey suddenly smiled bitterly.

For a whole day, the two media giants came out together, involving as many as 213 media and newspapers. This is not much worse than the presidential election of the United States!

Harvey murmured: "It's not easy to mess with, this Zhuke Wald is really not easy to mess with! No, to be precise, if there is no accident in the future, no film company will dare to mess with him secretly."

In order to make a movie in a small way, even two media giants, AOL and Warner, have provoke in. Which company will dare to win?

Not only Harvey Weinstein, but also Shay, the president of New Line Films, who has always regarded himself highly, was silent at this moment.

"Damn Zhuke Wald, he really made him into trouble!" Shay was quite upset.

In his eyes, Zhuke is just a lucky young man.

But now, he dare not say that.

In the competition between media giants, Zhuke can participate in it and win a big victory. Do you say that a veteran Hollywood person like Shay can beat Zhuke?

The young people have emerged, so should we old guys abdicate unconditionally?

Don't even think about it!

How is the situation better than people!

Zhu Ke's action now really frightens many film companies that have lost their eagerness.

These companies have more or less fantasies about Wald Pictures, believing that they might start after losing Paramount’s asylum, but now Zhuke has used a big killer like AOL, how can they still pay? The slightest thought is scared.

AOL, with a market value of nearly US$300 billion, weigh it.

.......

Time Warner Group.

"Damn it!"

Chairman Steve Rose scolded: "A small Wald Pictures has produced so many moths, and even AOL can stand up and support him. What is this going to do? Fighting?"

"Humph!"

"Hit it!"

"In my life, Steve Rose, I started as a small funeral agency, entered the parking lot business, and then extended my career. I galloped between Wall Street and the Mafia, acquired Warner Pictures, and then swallowed it. Whale-like annexation of Time Group, and single-handedly created Time Warner, the world's largest media group, who have I been afraid of?!"

In words, Steve Rose is full of hostility and domineering.

He is not a rich second generation born with a golden spoon. He is a model of starting from scratch. The starting capital is far behind Paramount's Redstone, but he can have today's level, he can fully deserve to be a legend!

He has nothing to fear!

Suddenly, in the huge conference room, more than a dozen Time Warner Group executives were silent.

No one dared to speak.

"Boss, please listen to me."

At this moment, Barry Meyer, the vice president of Warner Pictures, stepped forward.

Originally Steve Rose was the one who intended to speak badly, but as soon as it was Barry Meyer, he did not get angry.

Although Barry Meyer is not the CEO of Time Warner Group, nor the president of Warner Pictures, he is a person Steve Rose admires very much.

(Note: Barry Meyer has been in charge of Warner Pictures since 2000.)

"Boss, our Time Warner market value is as high as 150 billion U.S. dollars, and we have hundreds of companies with more than 120,000 employees. In the traditional media field, we dare to be the second. Then no one in this world dares to say that we are the first. ."

"but..."

"Boss, for the sake of a film produced by Wald Pictures, are we really going to fight a new giant like AOL head-on?"

"I have to say, we may not be able to win."

"And, isn't it just a movie, he is young and vigorous, and he wants to win. Then, we will give him it."

"He Wald Pictures only produces a few movies a year, how many movies does Warner Pictures produce a year?"

"If you really want to go to war, then no matter what the result is, we will lose a lot."

Barry Meyer said solemnly: "Forbearance is calm for a while. I don't believe that AOL can always protect him. To clean up him, we have a chance!"

The voice fell, and many executives now agreed.

Is it good for them to go to war?

Besides, they don’t believe that Steve Rose would choose a positive one!

He said this now, nothing more than going down a step.

Now Barry Meyer has taken the stage for him, you say, can he not take it?

"Humph!"

Steve Rose snorted coldly: "Zuke Wald, and Steve Case from AOL, you two guys wait for me~"
