Hollywood Starts with Animation

"Hollywood starts with animation ()"

"As the first contact with Weta Digital, Zucker Wald, why is there no movement now?"

Where is Zucker going?

This topic has been ignored by many media. After all, the recent Weta Digital is too lively, and investors such as Paramount, 20th Century Fox, and John Doerr have entered the market, and they have been completely satisfied. The curiosity of the masses.

"Where is Zucker? We don't care now." This is the voice of the editor-in-chief of the New Zealand Post, and it also represents the current dynamics of the media at the moment.

June 10.

4pm New Zealand local time.

A local TV station in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, launched an analysis report on who ended up in the Weta Digital acquisition case.

Many local people in New Zealand, because of their interest, watched the program for the first time.

Host:

Al Bass, male, 40 years old, a well-known local host in New Zealand;

Invited guests for this episode:

Philip J. Morse, male, 52 years old, works at the Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. He is a professor and authority figure in economics and international relations.

"Everyone, good afternoon, everyone, I'm Al, I'm the host, I'm sure everyone has heard of the special effects company 'Vita Digital' recently. The company was established in 1993 and its address is in Wellington, our capital. , but not many people had heard of it a month ago."

"It's so anonymous."

"But what about now?"

"With the arrival of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group CEO Victor Jones and the well-known billionaire Zucker Wald, many people have learned about Weta Digital; followed by the well-known Hollywood film company Paramount, 20 Century Fox came one after another, including the venture capitalists of Wall Street, and they also came at the first time, and they offered acquisition prices one after another. Since then, Weta Digital, a once unknown special effects company, has become a recent darling."

The show's host, Al Bass, speaks in a slow, tactile way, trying to grab the audience's attention as much as possible.

Zucker;

20th Century Fox;

Lachlan Murdoch;

Paramount;

VC Four Heavenly King John Doerr:

Wall Street;

......

Just picking out one of them can constitute a news issue, let alone gathering together now?

The surging trend directly detonated the hot spot.

Philip J. Morse, a professor of economics and international relations at Victoria University of Wellington, said on the program: "In terms of the current situation, the companies that can finally successfully acquire Weta Digital are nothing more than three-way forces."

1. 20th Century Fox Pictures;

2. John Doerr, one of the four kings of venture capital;

3. The billionaire Zucker Wald;

"Uh? Professor Philip, can you elaborate?" The host, Al, wondered.

The audience at the scene and in front of the TV could not help but be full of doubts and puzzles.

Professor Philip nodded and said, "First of all, we will rule out Paramount Pictures. Although it was the first company to announce the acquisition of Weta Digital, its multiple bids are really too low. Well, at least compared to The other parties are absolutely insincere."

In fact, the same is true. Summer Redstone, the owner of Paramount, is not willing to pay more, even if he is optimistic about the future of Weta Digital.

First of all, it should be clear that the special effects company itself is a beast of gold.

The development of new technologies requires a lot of money.

"If you look at 20th Century Fox, it's different."

"It's asking price is not low. It is a full $67 million, which is a very high and sincere price."

"At the same time, once 20th Century Fox becomes the majority shareholder of Weta Digital, it will definitely bring a large number of special effects orders to Weta Digital, which is definitely a win-win situation.

"

"It's also very important that 20th Century Fox is the owner of the Murdoch family, and the Murdoch family's influence in Australia and New Zealand is huge."

"I'm bullish on 20th Century Fox."

The voice fell.

Many people nodded frequently, thoughtfully.

The host of the show, Al, continued to ask: "The second one, John Doerr, one of the four kings of venture capital, are you optimistic about him?"

Hearing this, Professor Philip nodded and said: "As we all know, John Doerr, known as one of the four kings of venture capital, has been making frequent investments in the past ten years since he stepped down as an Intel executive. Many of the companies he has owned have brought him a lot of returns, and his connections on Wall Street with various countries and regions are not low.”

"Even if the purchase price he offered was not the highest, it was enough to benefit Weta Digital."

The crowd nodded again.

Professor Philip can become an authoritative person in both economics and international relations, of course, there is a set.

The most typical is the column data.

The presentation of cases and data has convinced many people.

"So, what's the matter with Mr. Zucker Wald?"

The host Al asked: "As far as I know, after Mr. Zucker Wald visited Weta Digital, he did not have any follow-up actions, nor did he launch an acquisition. Why do you think he will become Weta Digital? new master?"

This question is also a question of many people.

Even in this acquisition, many people almost forgot about Zucker's existence.

After all, Zhu Ke has not made any shots so far.

There is no sign of a shot!

No wonder everyone forgot about Zucker's existence.

"Haha~ it's just a smoke bomb!"

Professor Philip said solemnly: "I am quite sure that Zucker Wald is definitely not a spectator of this Weta Digital acquisition! He will definitely take action!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Immediately, many in the audience were in an uproar.

The viewers who were watching TV couldn't help but wonder.

at the same time.

Lachlan Murdoch, the eldest son of the Murdoch family, and 20th Century Fox's acquisition team this time, are also watching the show.

"what?"

One team member exclaimed: "I forgot about that guy, Zucker Wald."

A member of the team slapped his forehead suddenly, and said in shock: "We came to New Zealand, didn't we come for Zucker Wald from the beginning?!"

Immediately, many people looked at each other.

As the third-in-command of News Corporation, Lachlan Murdoch's face is ugly at this moment, "Before I came, my father warned me that Zucker is a very, very, very cunning guy, don't want, we still ignore it. He is."

Isn't it?

Before his visit to New Zealand, Rupert Murdoch sent his eldest son to show the importance he attached to Zucker.

Not only that, but in private in recent years, Murdoch has repeatedly used Zucker's "young and promising" to educate his many children.

And yet...Lackland ignored it!

It is no wonder that in the future, he will voluntarily resign from all positions in News Corp.

His mental age is far less than his physical age!

......

Paramount represents the team.

Jordan, who was the team leader, completely relaxed.

In his words: "When I meet such a stingy and stingy boss, since I already know that the acquisition is hopeless, why should I worry about it? Sometimes it is very difficult to pretend to be stupid and be a salted fish quietly. Is it good?"

In terms of workplace survival, Jordan also has a set.

Jordan watched the TV program and thought to himself: "Victor returned to Los Angeles a long time ago, while Zucker was stranded in New Zealand. According to the news, he was eating and drinking in various cities, and he couldn't take time all the way. He would give up Victoria. Tower Digital? I don't think so!"

Upheaval!

Suddenly, at the end of the TV show, the host of the show, Al, suddenly changed his face.

Why?

In his headset, a reminder from the program director came. A familiar name came directly into his mind.

- Zucker Wald!

Zucker shot!

" "The second is sent.
