Hollywood Starts with Animation

Zucker is not in a hurry to sell his stake in the internet company.

Under the big wave of the Internet, there is no worry that these shares cannot be sold. Small shares of 6 companies including Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Oracle, and IBM have cashed out 172 million US dollars.

It's just the beginning.

The next stage, of course, is to sell the shares of Yahoo, Microsoft and Cisco.

At present, these shares are worth $940 million in the market, but those sharks who have heard the wind and want to get these shares from Zucker will have to bid $940 million higher.

$1 billion?

$1.1 billion?

Do not! Zucker clearly told those buyers, there is no 1.2 billion US dollars, please don't open your mouth!

The lion speaks up!

Yes, Zucker made it clear that he was going to make a lot of money, but those buyers were desperate to get these shares. After all, the market is optimistic about the stocks of Yahoo, Microsoft, and Cisco. This is a seller's market.

Next stage:

Zucker intends to short a batch of Amazon's stocks, but if he holds more than 5% of the shares, he must report to the CSRC, which takes time;

Well, and $200 million worth of shares in AOL;

Zhu Ke is waiting for the news of AOL's acquisition of Time Warner Group, which involves more than 180 billion US dollars and can be called "the largest merger in history". At that time, the stocks of the two companies will rise sharply, which is inevitable. Zhu Ke Grams naturally want a piece of the pie.

Not surprisingly, in a few months, Zucker will hold $4 billion to $6 billion in cash.

If you add the cash and gold reserves in Zucker's original personal account, the total cash amount is definitely an astronomical figure.

On this day, Zhu Ke was working at the headquarters of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group, and he had handled a number of tasks successively.

1. The animated film "Finding Nemo" produced by Waterworld Animation was officially scheduled to be released in the United States on August 6, 1999 after three rounds of movie fan test sessions and two rounds of cinema screenings.

In the contract signed with a group of cinemas,

2,780 cinemas have been initially planned, with a maximum of 3,100 cinemas;

"The schedule is good."

"This year's July schedule is also a dead period!"

"Paramount's "Bride," Warner's "Hurricane," Universal's "American Pie," Disney's "G-Type", DreamWorks' "Ghost Invasion," the rest of "Deep Sea Shark," "Eyes Widespread" ... is not an easy generation!"

"Well, although there are some strong rivals in the August schedule, compared to July, the pressure is obviously less."

2. Jin Shuguang Music Company plans to release several albums composed of Eminem, Beyonce, Britney Spears and Linkin Park in the second half of this year;

Among them, Britney Spears and Linkin Park are the most anticipated.

Because it will be Britney Spears' first solo album, and also Linkin Park's first heavy metal rock album after joining Golden Dawn Music;

"Look at this list~"

"I'm going to lie down and win!"

"Emm, Beyonce, Britney Spears, Linkin Park, if you can have one, you can make a lot of money for the company, but now I have four!"

dong dong dong~~~

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Zucker's office.

"Hey, Kevin, did you come here in person?" Zu Ke was overjoyed, but also a little curious. He didn't understand why Kevin Feige, the vice president of Wald Pictures, came in person.

That's right, it's Kevin Feige!

"Come on, sit first."

Zucker greeted Kevin to sit down, and arranged for the secretary to pour two cups of coffee.

"Boss, I'm here this time for the Blair Witch movie," Kevin said.

"Oh?" Zucker's mouth twitched.

The Blair Witch movie, of course Zucker knows.

It's also a DV movie that Zucker bought himself at the Saint Denis Film Festival for $130,000.

Kevin Feige said: "The viral promotion plan for 'Blair Witch' has been launched, and the starring and director have been arranged properly, and even if the ticket-buying audience finds out after the fact, it will not affect us at Wald Pictures. "

Zucker nodded: "Yes, that's it. Viral propaganda is fraudulent and legal propaganda after all, so we have to be careful. Aren't the directors and stars trying to be famous? Give them! All we want is money! "

In the original time and space, "Blair Witch" created a box office miracle!

It is a film with a shooting cost of only 60,000 US dollars. It is known as the originator of the "pseudo-documentary". It is a film shot with a DV in hand, and the camera shakes can make people dizzy.

It would be an understatement to say that it is a rubbish, three-nothing movie.

But... after its release in 1999, it has created a North American box office of 140 million and a global box office of $248 million.

The income ratio is amazing!

It can be said to be a myth!

Of course, it is undeniable that its success is not the success of the film itself, but the success of a complete "fraud" and "scam" marketing.

The shooting cost of 60,000 US dollars, but its publicity cost is close to 20 million US dollars.

"Genius director Daniel, ghost director Adeyado!"

"The originator of pseudo-documentary!"

"We give them all these reputations, and the audience's anger will be pinned on their heads, and it has nothing to do with our production and distribution companies."

"Name, they get it! Money, we earn it!"

"Isn't it harmonious?!"

Zucker smiled.

Fraudulent and deceptive propaganda, there is always a time when they are exposed, and they don't give up these fame. At that time, the audience's anger after being deceived and deceived will be borne by Zucker.

What a thief, classmate Zhu Ke!

Kevin Feige understood and smiled: "Boss, I understand. We are the publisher of "Blair Witch", and the rest, we don't know, and it's none of our business!"

"That's right." Zucker clapped his hands.

Capital is always dirty!

......

Soon.

Attorney Zhang Wei and Zhang from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in Europe also received good news.

The future founders of Kazaa (network disk), Skype (Internet telephony), (music), and Starship Technology, Niklas Zenstrom and Janus Frith, accepted Zucker's proposal. Invitation, promise to work for Zucker.

But...they have a request!

"We don't want to go to America, we only want to work in Europe!"

Faced with this request, Zu Ke generously agreed!

Zucker is extremely tolerant of top talent.

"Zhang Wei, tell them both, I will invest 2 million US dollars to set up my first overseas company in Luxembourg, and let them both take charge of the company," Zucker said on the phone.

"Boss, Niklas and Janus have no management experience, so you can delegate power to them so confidently?" Zhang Wei said in surprise.

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Ke smiled and said, "It's only $2 million. If you lose, you will lose. I want both of them!"

Shortly after.

Zhu Ke's first overseas technology company was established.

Named - Starship Technology!
