Hollywood starts with animation

August 1.

On this day, Zhuke successfully gave himself a day off.

But even so, Zhuke couldn't be idle.

"Boss, this is the business report of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group for the first half of the year. Well, there are many documents that need to be signed by you."

Alexander, director of the President's Office and chief assistant to the chairman of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group, came to Zhu Ke's villa early in the morning.

"Oh! NO~!"

Zhuke patted his forehead in despair, and he immediately collapsed on the sofa.

"My rare vacation was just ruined by you, Alexander." Zhu Ke complained deeply.

Alexander sneered: "Boss, you should understand that entrepreneurs don't have real vacations!"

What can Zhuke do?

He is desperate!

The business development has grown to the height it is today. This huge ship is no longer something Zhu Ke can stop. The entire Golden Dawn Entertainment Group has thousands of employees who will eat with Zhu Ke. It is impossible for them to stop the company. Before.Even if Zhuke didn't want to move, others would push Zhuke forward.

"Come, come, I fucking fight it too~!"

Zhu Ke reluctantly accepted the thick stack of documents and flipped through it.

The first thing that catches the eye is the operating statements of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group in the first half of the year.

Wald Pictures:

As an important part of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, it occupies a vital position in the group.

From the beginning of January this year to the end of July this year, it lasted nearly 8 months.

Wald Pictures successively produced and released three films, "My Grand Greek Wedding", "300 Spartans", and "Blair the Witch"; of course, it also undertakes and distributes films from other film companies. This part Up to 7 movies.

"My Grand Greek Wedding": Achieved a North American box office of 259 million U.S. dollars, an overseas box office of 138 million U.S. dollars, and a global cumulative gross of 397 million U.S. dollars;

Moreover, the film broke the box office record of North American romantic movies in one fell swoop.

"Spartan 300 Warriors": Achieved 210 million US dollars in the North American box office; overseas market box office is even more expensive, has already achieved 207 million US dollars in box office.

Cumulative global box office results: $417 million.

At present, there are still a small number of theaters in North American theaters in long-term screenings, and it is expected that they will receive several million dollars in box office.

"Boss, just by relying on the box office revenue of these two films, our performance in the first half of the year is higher than that of the top second-tier DreamWorks."

Alexander smiled and said, "Of course, if you add the revenue of "Blair the Witch", even if it is compared with the Big Six, it won't be much better."

Zhuke nodded.

Immediately opened the income statement of "Blair the Witch".

As of June 30, "Blair the Witch" had already achieved a box office of 140 million U.S. dollars in North America, as well as U.S. dollars overseas, and the global box office was close to 200 million U.S. dollars.

The lowest-cost movie in history that was built for $60,000 really shocked many people.

"The box office of the three films at home and abroad is as high as 430 million US dollars."

As for the other seven films, they are produced by other films and distributed by Wald Pictures, with 9%-15% of North American box office revenue.

The overall profit is also a lot.

There are millions of dollars in profit.

Although this amount of profit is inconspicuous compared to the profit of the six major distributions, it is a full 42% increase compared to the distribution profit of Wald Pictures in the same period last year.

This is progress.

The income of the offline market, the income of Wald Pictures, has also increased a lot over the same period last year.

DVD, video tape market, peripheral games, clothing, portrait rights, dolls, books, etc. are all profitable.

In the box office market, excluding various film costs, publicity costs, cinema share, copying and other material expenses, taxes, etc., in the first half of this year, Wald Pictures accumulated a net profit of 240 million US dollars.

Of course, if you add peripheral profits, copyright operations and other profits, then the overall net profit will exceed 320 million US dollars.

"Boss, this $320 million is the result of pure profit. Compared to the second half of this year, the company will no longer worry about lack of cash." Alexander laughed.

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Ke curled his lips and said: "It's too early to mention these. You don't know the urinary nature of the theaters. Without delaying a few months, can we expect all the profits to be accounted for? The 2nd batch and the 2nd batch of box office split accounts, that’s good."

Alexander: "......"

Okay, Zhuke is screaming now, it's purely cheap and good.

The film and television market is making money, but as Zhu Ke said, film is an investment with high risks and high returns, but with a long return to the current period.

If it weren't for Zhuke's opening, Wald Pictures would not have such a high return in the first half of today.

In the first half of this year, Wald Pictures was indeed impressive.

"Where is this?"

"I am now waiting for "Finding Nemo" to be released. Once it is released, even if Pixar and DreamWorks can't break the monopoly of 3D computer animation, it will definitely allow Water World Animation to occupy a place in the animation field."

In addition to the strong performance of Wald Pictures, the remaining subsidiaries of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group also performed outstandingly.

TV Group, Golden Dawn Music, Water World Animation, SpongeBob Squarepants House, Golden Dawn Publishing, Under Armour Sporting Goods Company, Manchester City Club, their overall revenues have also increased compared with the same period last year.

Especially the TV Group, the performance is extremely amazing!

It has jurisdiction over UPN Television Network, which ranks No. 3 in the U.S. limited-paid field, and WB Television Network, which ranks No. 8 in the U.S. public television field.

Hot broadcasts in TV series such as "Prison Break", "The Walking Dead", "The Big Bang Theory", and "Broken Sisters";

Variety shows such as "God Talent Show", "Millionaire", "WWE Live Wrestling Entertainment", "I Am a Celebrity";

In addition, it has received strong support from nearly 3,000 films in the Wald Pictures Film Library, attracting a large audience.

With many auras added, Golden Dawn TV Group's turnover in the first half of this year exceeded US$3.2 billion in one fell swoop, with a profit of US$510 million.

This performance is ranked 7th in the American TV field, second only to 6 TV groups including ABC, FOX, NBC, CBS, Paramount Online, and Comcast.

This achievement is really impressive. After all, which one of the other six TV groups does not have decades of history, has worked hard for a long time, and has a very wide coverage.

The size of the Golden Dawn TV Group is still far behind.

But even so, Zhu Ke's name as "Little TV Emperor" was completely recognized!

.......

August 3.

Zhuke came to McAfee when it was one day before the premiere of "Finding Nemo" and three days before the film was officially released in the United States.

McAfee (anti-virus) will formally hold the third voting meeting for the B round of share expansion today.

Zhu Ke readily attends the appointment, and has the consideration of increasing his shareholding.
