Hollywood Starts with Animation

"Mr. Wald, you are welcome!"

At the reception, Messier, chairman of Vivendi Group, spoke enthusiastically, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. Not only that, Blizzard's executives also expressed great welcome to Zucker's arrival.

Zucker immediately stepped forward and shook hands with him: "Mr. Messier, you're welcome."

Facing Blizzard execs...

Zucker said: "Mr. Michael Morheim, the Blizzard company created by you has brought me a lot of joy, you must know that I am a game fan, "Warcraft" series, "Diablo" series, " I love the StarCraft series very much, and when I have free time on weekdays, I will definitely pick it up.”

"Thanks to Mr. Wald for his love, all members of Blizzard are very honored."

Mr Michael Morheim said.

He is the founder of Blizzard and currently serves as the President of Blizzard.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere at the scene was once very good.

But!

The reporters around were vaguely expecting.

"The atmosphere is good... Haha, but it's just pretending!" A middle-aged reporter from the "Irvine Consultant" pouted.

"Mr. Devitch, can they still fight?" Eva, a rookie reporter, was extremely puzzled.

Hearing this, the middle-aged reporter Davich, he looked at the beautiful face of the new female reporter Eva, his eyes could not help but fiery, and he suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and smiled: "They can't fight, but they won't sneer. few."

Eva: "..."

Davech explained: "It's just a feud between big companies and big companies. Since Mr. Wald established Wald Pictures, he has made good friends with Paramount and 20th Century Fox, the six major Hollywood companies, but with the Warner, Disney, and Universal have always had a gap.”

"As early as the second half of 2000, Universal Pictures poached Wald Pictures for many times, and at least more than 30 people from the producers, screenwriters, props, makeup and other departments have jumped to Universal Pictures. "

"Are you saying that the relationship between Universal and Wald Pictures is bad?"

The new female reporter Eva suddenly nodded her head like a garlic clover.

beauty recognition,

The middle-aged Davech couldn't help but get even more excited.

Devitch continued: "Not long ago, Universal Pictures' new film "The Scorpion King" was scheduled to be released on April 17, but not long after, Wald Pictures announced "Chainsaw" and "The Devil Wears Prada". The movie is coming out, and the release date is right in tandem with The Scorpion King.”

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

"This shows that it is the rhythm of playing in the ring."

The voice fell.

What is it that Eva, a new female reporter, still doesn't understand?

You must know that the parent company of Universal Pictures is the French Vivendi Group, and the chairman of the Vivendi Group is the Messier in front of him.

Two reporters from the "Irvine Consultant" broke down here, and other reporters from the surrounding media were also vaguely looking forward to it.

"Enthusiasm, good atmosphere, everything is an illusion."

"that is!"

"Mesier, the chairman of Vivendi Group, is not a good person. He has a hot temper. Of course, Zucker Wald is also famous for his bad temper. Now that the two meet, it is definitely a collision of sparks. picture of the earth."

"A fight? Not really, but there's definitely a lot to do with words."

The low downline of reporters is definitely far beyond the imagination of many people.

The meaning of a sentence of ordinary words can definitely be derived from countless meanings through their out-of-context excerpts. To spark a hot spot, they don't mind arching fires.

It's not too big to watch the fun~

Expect!

However, after watching the whole process, the surrounding media reporters were dumbfounded...

Zucker and Messier have always had a good conversation.

"This, this, how is this possible?"

"Irvine Consulting" reporter Davic exclaimed.

The female reporter Eva looked at him suspiciously and said, "Mr. Davich, didn't you say that they would have a verbal attack? But now it seems that they get along very happily!"

Davic endured the embarrassment and said perfunctory: "Man, there will definitely be times when you miss, but that's not necessarily the case. Maybe the two of them will have a verbal confrontation in the next second, um, it's definitely the case."

Eva was skeptical, and there was a look of disappointment in her eyes.

"They don't say they will never die, but there's no reason to talk happily!" Davech exclaimed in his heart.

In fact, the surrounding media reporters were also puzzled.

......

"Mr. Wald, please forgive me for the poor reception, please forgive me, I will also greet the other guests." Messier made a hearty voice.

Zhu Ke smiled and said, "You are busy with your work, I am fine."

Messier left, and Zucker kept looking at his back with doubts in his eyes.

"Dave, the information you gave me says that Messier is a hot-tempered guy, and it is very likely that he will confront me, but now? He is completely a gentleman!"

Zucker asked.

Messier, who is like a spring breeze, where is the hot-tempered reckless man?

Dave Roberts, President of Popcap Games, frowned: "Boss, the information I collected should be correct~"

"Hehe~"

The company's game director John Veitch shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Dave, your information must be wrong, I think Mr. Messier is very good, very enthusiastic and generous, and he is a very good person. An upright gentleman."

Brian and Jensen, the two founders of Pop-Cap Games, nodded in agreement.

President Dave Roberts: "..."

Seeing this, Zucker comforted: "Okay, Dave. It's okay if the information is wrong. No matter how Messier of Vivendi Group treats me, the battle between me and Universal Pictures will definitely last for a long, long time. ."

......

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening.

Popcap Games president Dave Roberts suddenly knocked on the door of Zucker's hotel room and entered.

"Is something wrong?" Zucker asked.

Dave Roberts nodded heavily and said, "Boss, I am very sorry for disturbing you this time. However, I asked someone to inquire again to prove that the information I gave you during the day, Messier, chairman of Vivendi Group, it Not wrong."

"What's the situation?" Zucker was puzzled.

In the following time, Dave Roberts elaborated on the latest information about Messier.

In the second half of 2001, Messier, the chairman of Vivendi Group, made an important decision, that is, to enter the American entertainment market, enter Hollywood, and put the French Vivendi Group, a water company with a history of 150 years. , transformed into a global media giant.

At a price of nearly 10 billion US dollars, Vivendi Group successfully acquired Universal Group, one of the six major Hollywood companies.

For a time, the media in the United States were shouting: "European wolves are marching into the United States!"

Messier, who is only in his 40s, is the youngest chairman of the Vivendi Group in history. Even though he has a hot temper, his style is capable and decisive. In just a few years, Vivendi has been reborn. Soaring into the sky, it became the second largest media group in the world and the largest in Europe after AOL-Time Warner.

Vivendi created a mythical miracle.

However, just when it was popular all over the world and bullish, huge losses and huge debts pushed Vivendi to the brink of collapse.

"is it so serious?"

Zuko looked suspicious.

After all, Zhu Ke is a well-informed person, and he has not received news in this regard until now.

Dave Roberts took a deep breath and said, "That's what the news guy said, but he's not particularly sure."

Zu Ke looked uncertain at the moment, and immediately called Andy Chelop, the president of Gale Capital, who was far away in New York.

"Is it Vivendi?"

Andy on the other end of the phone said: "Boss, I have received such similar rumors here, but it is not entirely certain whether Vivendi has suffered a serious and huge loss. This will have to wait for the announcement of Vivendi's new quarterly financial report. result."

After a few more words, Zucker hung up the phone.

"Boss, how's the news?" Dave Roberts asked hastily.

Zhu Ke shook his head: "Anti can't judge whether the news is true or not, but if it is true, if something happens to Universal, then we might be able to take a bite of meat from the Vivendi Group."

A little excited.

Blizzard... Zucker is very greedy!

Moreover, Vivendi's game company is far more than Blizzard!

This piece of fat, let alone classmate Zhu Ke, many jackals, tigers and leopards will definitely be heartbroken and take a bite.

" "The second is sent.
