Hollywood Starts with Animation

The negotiations between Wald Pictures and Paramount have collapsed!

After all, in the face of their "good intentions" of investing in shares, Zhu Ke, who thought of small farmers, really couldn't accept it.

Zucker is a big lover of money, that's right.

However, Zucker is the kind of person who doesn't like trouble. Once Paramount becomes a shareholder, it is bound to add a lot of troubles in future work and life, such as participation in equity competition, internal personnel struggle, etc., which will involve a lot of energy.

Of course Zucker was reluctant.

"I came here to enjoy life, not to intrigue."

Although the shareholding negotiation with Paramount collapsed, other cooperation can be carried out.

three days later.

CEO Victor signed a series of copyright contracts for "Juno" with Paramount on behalf of Wald Pictures.

Mainly include:

First: Paramount invested 30 million US dollars to purchase the overseas copyrights of "Juno" from Wald Pictures, including DVD, video tape copyrights, and associated toys, clothing, keychains and other peripheral copyrights;

Second: Paramount invested $2 million to buy the rights to make a sequel to the movie "Juno";

Then there are some other clauses, but nothing.

In the end, the amount involved in the contract was as high as $32 million.

At the beginning, Zucker didn't plan to sell the full overseas copyright of "Juno", but only planned to sell the overseas distribution rights of the movie, but when he thinks of the shady scenes of Hollywood's distribution, that's all he can do.

Can't help Zucker careless.

It is really the bottom line of big Hollywood companies is too low!

Even if they sign a distribution contract and can get a share of the overseas box office, as long as they move their hands and feet, they can legally encroach on the interests that should belong to Zucker.

Of course, there is also good news.

After the signing of the contract, "Juno" produced by Wald Pictures was faced with the pressure from the media and the theater, but also because of Paramount's shot, it was easily resolved.

"Since Paramount purchased the overseas copyright of "Juno", of course they can't watch the North American box office of "Juno" suffer a heavy blow. After all, the North American box office is the vane of the overseas box office, which involves their interests."

Victor said.

For this remark, Zu Ke deeply agreed.

In fact it is!

After the contract was signed, in less than 5 hours, the major theaters in North America readjusted the schedule of "Juno" and increased the screen more or less.

"Tsk tsk tsk~!"

Zu Ke sighed: "A big company is a big company. It didn't take long for our movie to be screened, and the number of screens for our films recovered to more than 2,400."

While feeling the power of Paramount, Zucker felt more powerless in his heart.

"Damn it! Without a perfect distribution network, without the existence of media power, I will encounter such useless incidents in the future."

At this moment, Zucker thought a lot in his mind.

Isn't the reason why the Big Six of Hollywood are so powerful that they dominate the whole of Hollywood like emperors and overlook the rising and falling of the clouds.

"I want a distribution channel!"

"There are also TV stations and media newspapers!"

"If I have these, then I'll see who would dare to follow me!"

......

9 pm.

Zucker's villa.

Today, we welcomed two guests.

Former ace negotiator Kandi and barrister Zhang Wei.

"You two, I'm sorry to invite you here so late, then I won't go around the corner." Zucker pretended to be sorry.

puff~!

Zucker's words haven't finished yet,

Kandi, who was drinking water, could not help but spit it out.

"Candy, you're so disgusting."

Zucker was disgusted.

Kandi waved his hand quickly and scolded with a smile: "Man, you say I'm disgusting? I think it's you. We haven't seen each other for a few months. When did you learn to speak like a 'gentleman'? It's not the one I know at all. What about the 'vulgar' young people."

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say it."

At this moment, Zu Ke was also quite speechless.

How could Lao Tzu be such a mean young man? Can't I grow up? Couldn't it be possible to have a feeling of admiration for the three days of Shibei?

The barrister Zhang Wei on the side smiled and did not speak.

Next, Zucker shared with them the idea of ​​acquiring TV stations, media and newspapers, as well as the difficulties of the previous period.

"Zuke, are you going to buy the TV station?"

Kandi couldn't help laughing and said, "Dude, you don't have a fever, right? Do you know how much it will cost to acquire a TV station or build a media network? Do you have the money?!"

Asking three times in a row is worthy of life!

Zucker didn't answer Kandy's question directly, but pointed to the barrister Zhang Wei next to him.

Zhang Wei understood, and immediately said solemnly: "Mr. Candy, please allow me to solemnly introduce the gentleman beside me. Zucker Wald, he is the owner of the chain stores around SpongeBob SquarePants, Hollywood's third echelon Walter. The owner of German Films, the owner of a building worth $9 million in Silicon Valley, the full shareholder of California Standard Bank, the owner of the copyright of "Got Talent Show", the largest individual shareholder of icq... ."

After some words came to an end, Kandi was stunned!

"I'm going~!"

"Old man, haven't we seen each other for a few months? Why do you have so much money now?!"

"He still holds 2% of Yahoo's shares."

"Also, are you still the largest individual shareholder of the icq that has exploded recently?"

"Oh my God!"

"Your assets are over 100 million, right?!"

......

At this moment, let alone Kandi, it is estimated that anyone would be shocked.

Who would have thought that a few months ago, a person who often drank, spanked and chatted with himself would become a billionaire in the blink of an eye?

"Kandy, you are wrong. My assets are not over 100 million, but over 200 million US dollars."

Hearing Kandy's astonished words, Zucker was a little proud.

Well, although Zhu Ke's current achievements may not be comparable to that of many traversers, as an ordinary person, it is quite a proud thing to be able to work hard for such a billionaire in just over a year. thing.

"Old man, do you still think I don't have the money to buy TV stations and set up media channels?" Zucker looked at Kandi calmly.

When the voice fell, what else could Kandi say?

"Damn capitalist~!"

Well, Kandi can only swear a few words.

......

............

Candy is talent, and Zucker knows that.

In the more than a year of being together, Zucker has invited him to join his company many times, but he has rejected them all. In his words, he doesn't want to be bound by anything now, he just wants to be a freelancer.

It has to be said that in the acquisition of TV stations, Kandi's actions are powerful.

In less than a week, a TV station was basically negotiated, oh no, to be precise, a TV network with two TV stations.

-UPN TV Network!

Sometimes I have to sigh about the wonderful fate. The owner of the UPN TV network is the Viacom Group, the parent company of the old friend Paramount.

When it comes to the UPN TV network, not many people may know about it in the future, but when it comes to the name of CW, some people have heard of it.

Smallville, The Flash, The Vampire Diaries...  

These American TV series are all produced by the CW TV network.

The CW television network is a television public network in the United States. It was established in 2006. Its predecessor is based on Warner's WB television network and Paramount's UPN television network.

"Zuck, the UPN network is definitely the best station for your needs right now."

Kandi explained: "This company was established in 1992, and the staff of each department is relatively complete. After the broadcast, due to the low ratings of the whole year, the price is not high. According to the estimation of the statistical company, the purchase price is about 3,000 yuan. ~$32 million."

Over $30 million? !

Hearing this, Zhu Ke couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Got it~!

Because of the sale of the overseas full copyright and sequel production rights of "Juno", the $32 million that was just received from Paramount seems to be thrown back to them again.

However, Zucker is not a pity.

Although the money is gone, but somehow I started a TV station, don't you think?

"That's it, "SpongeBob SquarePants" doesn't have to look for a broadcast platform anymore; um, yes, there is also the North American copyright of "Tarenxiu", so there is no need to sell it, you can do it yourself!"

For a time, Zu Ke thought a lot.

Huh?

The National Wrestling Match (WEE) seems to be able to do it too!

" "The second is sent.

Thanks to the book friend "I run with the white horse" for the reward of 100 starting coins.
