Hollywood starts with animation

The listing of US stocks, generally speaking, whether on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, is something that countless companies dream of.

Ring the bell, what a beautiful sound!

For the Nasdaq exchange, Zhu Ke is naturally familiar.The number of personal visits is no less than 20.

Once upon a time, the first pot of gold for Zhu Ke's fortune was the listing of Netscape;

Subsequently, Zhu Ke went through the Yahoo listing, icq listing, and Amazon listing successively, witnessing the rise of Internet myths.

It was the first time to ring the bell in person.

Senior executives such as Stephen Solenberg and David Messer of Water World Animation Company visited the Nasdaq exchange to witness this event in person.

"Finally looking forward to this day~"

Stephen Solenberg was full of exclamation at the moment, "I still remember when, in 1996, Mr. Zucker Wald took a person and ran to my home in person. At that time, I had just resigned from the Academy of Marine Sciences. The marine life comic illustrations and scripts brought by Mr. Wald deeply attracted me."

"At that time, I had an urge to make this animation."

"So... "SpongeBob SquarePants" was born!"

"However, I never thought from the beginning to the end that our company still has one day to go public!"

In the words, Stephen felt like a dream.

At the beginning, he slapped his head to join Zhu Ke's banner because of a dream. However, his current achievements have greatly exceeded his expectations.

David Messer smiled and said: "Hehe, I know. When I heard that Mr. Wald recruited you, Water World Animation had no shadow at all. Well, the animation department of Wald Pictures was not established at all~ "

As the "Father of SpongeBob SquarePants", Stephen is the first animation talent recruited by Zhu Ke;

Of course, David Messer is not too bad!

He is the first batch of employees who joined Stephen Solenberg after joining the company, and he is a talent that Zhuke digs from Pixar Animation at the expense of his old face.

"David, you said that when you first joined the company, did you ever think that our company would go public one day?" Stephen asked suddenly.

"Ok!"

David Messer nodded heavily and said: "I have been looking forward to the listing, but the time has improved for 10 years."

Hearing that, Stephen still spoke up, and an executive with a raunchy and big beard on the side couldn't help but catch up.

His name is Jerez!

He is the first batch of employees of Water World Animation. He currently holds the position of director of 3 groups. He is the third leader after David and Stephen, and he is also in charge of operations.

"I know what David said. David and I were both members of Pixar Animation. We went through the listing of Pixar Animation in 1995, but at that time we had little qualifications and were not qualified to participate in the allotment. At that time, David threatened to say , Pixar didn't allocate shares to him, so he will regret it in the future~" Jerez joked.

"Tsk tut~"

Stephen immediately slapped his lips: "David, I can't see you, a steady fellow, when you are also very energetic!"

"It's not worth mentioning that I was young and crazy." David began to chatter.

This can be regarded as a small black history.

.......

The bell ringing ceremony is less than 2 hours away.

However, thousands of people have gathered inside and outside the exchange, and many of them are specifically for the upcoming Water World Animation.

"Can you buy the stock of Water World Animation?"

"Of course I want to buy it!"

"Not only that, but you can buy as much as you can. According to "Finding Nemo"'s global box office of 900 million US dollars, do you think that people who want to buy Water World Animation will lack it?"

"I dare to say that the grand occasion of Water World Animation today will definitely not be inferior to the grand occasion of Pixar's listing in 1995."

"That's right, when Pixar Animation was launched, I didn't sell it, and I regretted it later!"

A group of stockholders and investment institutions are gearing up to move around.

To be honest, the market expectation of Water World Animation before its launch is much higher than that of Pixar Animation.

On the one hand is the impact of the current environment;

Investment in the stock market is popular among the people, and the Internet wave is sweeping across the United States. Most people who buy stocks have made money.

On the other hand, the background of water world animation is very strong.

A "Finding Nemo" has a global box office of more than 900 million US dollars, which has proved that Water Century Animation can produce an animated film that is popular around the world; in addition, "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Peppa Pig" are the ace animation series of the United States. , These two animations are the bottom line and stable profitability.

Therefore, investors and market investment institutions all have great expectations and confidence in the future of Water World Animation.

In the past few days, Zhu Ke’s WB TV network has broadcast the information of Water World Animation on a rolling basis to create momentum for the listing;

As the sponsor of the listing, Goldman Sachs Investment Bank, one of the five largest investment banks on Wall Street, is not even a vegetarian. The power it mobilized is enough to start a protracted war.

As soon as Goldman Sachs came out, there was good news for the launch of Water World Animation across the United States and the world, which further consolidated the market's confidence in Zhu Ke.

.......

The bell ringing ceremony is about to begin~

Zhuke and Lima came to the scene hand in hand.

Zhuke's friends also spared no time to personally cheer for Zhuke on the platform.

The pursuit of media reporters is even more endless.

There is no doubt that Zhuke is the most beautiful cub on Nasdaq today!

"After the IPO, it will be easier for our Water World Animation to make money!" Zhu Ke couldn't help sighing.

In addition to box office revenue and offline revenue, the market operation of Hollywood film companies has another thing called movie derivatives and financial products.

When a movie explodes, the production company may make a box office profit of 100 million U.S. dollars, and because of the listed company, its income from the financial market and derivatives may exceed 300 million U.S. dollars.

This is the huge benefit of listing!

Don’t you see the big days of Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, Wanda and other groups, why frequently invest heavily in the entertainment industry?

What is the profit at the box office for these giant companies?

What these giants like them is precisely the financial income brought by the movie, which is huge profits!

"Some pure filmmakers think that commercial finance has tarnished the art of film. But... Lao Tzu is a businessman. As long as you can make money, who cares about your art or not?" Zhu Ke disdainfully said.

Time is up~

In the witness of countless people, Zhu Ke rang the little bell himself.

Zhu Ke has gone through several years, and his first listed company has finally arrived!

Water World Animation, Xiongqi~
