Hollywood Starts with Animation

Chapter 34 The Beautiful Little Model

What Bei Baldou said is right. Zucker's Wald Films has no advantages compared to big film companies.

"Haha~!"

Suddenly, Victor smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Bezos, you are the president of Amazon. Of course you have the right to choose. Whether this cooperation is or not, our boss will not care."

After a pause, he continued: "As far as I know, you and your Amazon mall have negotiated with several major Hollywood film companies dozens of times, but the results seem to be unsatisfactory."

"Humph~!" Bei's bald head lost his good expression instantly.

Victor was right.

This piece of information is not only the information that Zucker has seen in his previous life, but also the information that Victor has collected over the past few days.

Amazon Marketplace is just a small company in the Internet industry today, and it is inconspicuous. In fact, as Victor said, Bezos and Amazon have contacted major Hollywood film companies more than once, seeking them to sell peripheral products on the Internet platform.

But.

He was rejected more than once.

They said, "Oh, you can sell our products on your online platform, you can, but you have to pay us extra."

It's like a supermarket shelf charge.

What a shrewd person Bei Bald is!

It’s true that he has money, and it’s even more true that he likes to enjoy himself. After his fortune, he can be described as extravagant and extravagant. Yachts, planes, luxury houses, luxury cars, model girlfriends, etc., can be said to be pediatrics. However, for others, his stingy attributes are even more than that of Zucker!

The request for a listing fee was of course refuted by Bei Guangtou.

No one wants to take advantage of him.

Look at other Internet technology companies, how many founder teams can own a large amount of equity after they go public? Many bosses can have more than 10% of the equity after the company grows and grow, but if you look at Bei Baldou, even in 2020, he still owns a large amount of equity in Amazon.

Bei Bald Tou is extremely poor and extravagant, what if he has no money to spend?

Sell ​​stocks!

Before Zucker passed through, in the end of January and the beginning of February 2020, in just 4 days, Bei Baltou sold a large number of stocks and obtained $3.4 billion in cash.

What is the money used for?

Of course, "buy, buy, buy", buy luxury houses, buy art, and change girlfriends!

Therefore, from the beginning, Zucker did not expect to take Amazon's original stock from his hands. Of course, this is temporary. When the Internet bubble swept the world, Zucker said that he would not be able to step in.

"Jeff, you have seen the virtues of big Hollywood companies. When it comes to greed, they are no worse than Wall Street. They are all masters who don't see rabbits and don't throw eagles. You must pay a listing fee when you cooperate with them." Zucker cut to the chase.

Bei Guangtou shook his head and said with a smile: "It's understandable for big companies, and I can also pay them the listing fee. You must know that this is more beneficial than detrimental to the development of Amazon.com."

Old Billy on the side nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Bezos, on the point of listing fees, I Victor fully believe you might do it, but what about the rest?" Victor asked.

Zucker continued: "For example, they want Amazon's original equity!"

Equity? !

"you.......!"

In an instant, Bei's bald face became quite ugly.

Amazon's Marketplace is a newcomer these days, and that's right.

However, its development potential is quite good. Many people with discerning eyes see it. According to the greed of big companies, of course they have to pinch Bezos. This is not surprising. This is their consistent code of conduct. It is the way to survive against opponents!

in Hollywood land,

Small companies occasionally produce a few good movies, showing good development potential, and big companies will definitely come to the door immediately.

The representative of the big company said: "We want to invest in your company, you will gain the advantages of our distribution channels, and we will gain a potential company. This is a win-win situation."

The owner of the small company said: "We do not accept shares!"

The representative of the big company said: "If this is the case, then we will be the enemy in the future."

Hollywood Six, what is it? !

It is the existence of a giant!

Big companies only need to move their hands and feet a little, and small companies can be exhausted, just like Zucker's Wald Films, the first movie "Lola Run" released, is only MGM. As the second-in-command of one of their departments, he almost made "Lola Run" unable to get enough screens with just one sentence.

Its powerful influence is evident.

This is why, after the 21st century, the Big Six will always be the Big Six, and small companies will never come out! Even in 2018, Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox was just a game between big companies.

Taking a stake in a company with potential is a routine operation of the Big Six in Hollywood.

(This is true. For example, DreamWorks Animation Studio and Paramount cooperated, and DreamWorks Animation was included in Paramount; Pixar, Marvel and Disney, the same is true, and so on, it’s not too much .)

"Jeff, do you want to use Amazon's equity to fight for cooperation with big Hollywood companies?" Zucker laughed: "If so, you are not the Jeff Bezos I know!"

Victor added: "We at Wald Pictures are inconspicuous now, but we will be dazzling in the future, and even the BBC is our partner."

Old Billy also helped: "Big Hollywood companies are masters of eating people and not spitting bones. I don't know and dare not cooperate with them. I think Zucker's Wald Pictures is good."

After pondering for a long time, Bei Baotou finally agreed!

The three have joined forces to launch movie peripherals on Amazon in one fell swoop!

Of course, Bei Baldtou never thought that Zhu Ke was going for Amazon's equity! The cooperation this time is just further contact.

......

the next day.

Witnessed by the lawyer, Zucker, Bald Tou, Billy Old, and the son of Billy Old Billy, the owner of the logistics company, signed the contract together.

After the contract was signed, Zucker hurried to the set of "Deadly Bend".

That's right, today is the day when "Deadly Bend" officially started filming.

"Mr. Wald, good afternoon~!"

After entering the set, the entire crew greeted Zhu Ke one after another.

Director M. Knight Shyamalan, who was making the final preparations before filming, saw Zucker coming and chatted with Zucker.

"Mr. Wald, you haven't seen the hero and heroine of this film. Come on, let me introduce you."

M. Knight Shyamalan said, and a man and a woman were called.

handsome man!

pretty girl!

This is the first impression of the hero and heroine of the film to Zu Ke!

The actor said: "Mr. Wald, nice to meet you, I'm Joaquin Phoenix."

The heroine said: "Adriana Lima, is an actress and a model."

What the hell!

Zu Ke's surface is as stable as a dog, but his heart is moving!

Joaquin Phoenix, aren't you the fucking Joker in Joker 2019? Unexpectedly, at this time, it is still a small fresh meat. Before Joaquin Phoenix played The Joker, Zucker had never heard of it, but after watching The Joker, he was surprised to find that this guy's acting skills are really awesome.

Adriana Lima? !

"It's so fucking beautiful and in such a good shape!"

Zuke looked at Adriana Lima and couldn't help but feel a sense of urge to move. This is not love, it's completely Zucker's body!

Man, this is Adriana Lima!

The world's top ten supermodels in the future!

At the moment, Zucker couldn't help but glanced at director M. Knight Shyamalan. He never imagined that this guy's vision for selecting people was so good.
