The negotiation between Wald pictures and paramount is broken!
After all, in the face of their "good intentions" of taking shares, Zhuke, a small-scale peasant, can not accept it.
It's true that Zucker loves money very much.
But Zucker is one of those people who doesn't like trouble. Once paramount successfully becomes a shareholder, it is bound to add a lot of troubles in the future work and life, such as participating in the fight for equity, internal personnel struggle and so on, which will involve a lot of energy.
Of course, Zucker didn't want to.
"Lao Tzu came here to enjoy life, not to intrigue."
Although the negotiation with paramount collapsed, other cooperation can be carried out.
Three days later.
CEO Victor signed a series of copyright contracts with paramount on behalf of Wald pictures.
The main contents are as follows:
First, paramount has invested US $30 million to purchase the overseas copyright of Juno from Wald pictures, including DVD, video copyright, and associated toy, clothing, keychain and other peripheral copyright;
Second, paramount paid US $2 million to buy the right to make the sequel of Juno;
Secondly, there are other provisions, but nothing.
In the end, the amount of money involved in the contract was as high as $32 million.
At the beginning, Zhuke did not intend to sell all the overseas copyrights of Juno, but only the overseas distribution rights of the film. However, when he thought of all kinds of Hollywood distribution shady scenes, he could only do so.
It's not up to chuck to be careful.
The bottom line of big Hollywood companies is too low!
Even if they sign the distribution contract, they can get overseas box office share, but as long as they use their hands, they can legally occupy the interests that should belong to Zhuke.
Of course, there is good news.
After the signing of the contract, "Juno", produced by Wald pictures, was faced with the pressure from the media and the cinema. It was also solved by Paramount's hand.
"Since paramount bought the overseas copyright of Juno, they certainly can't watch Juno's North American box office suffer a heavy blow. After all, North American box office is the vane of overseas box office, which involves their interests."
Said Victor.
Zhu Ke thought this was true.
In fact, the same is true!
In less than five hours after the signing of the contract, the major courtyard operators in North America readjusted the film layout of Juno and increased the screen to some extent.
"Tut tut ~!"
Zhuke sighed: "big companies are big companies. Before long, the number of screening screens of our films has returned to more than 2400."
With paramount giving awesome, Zuker's heart was more powerless.
"Damn it! Without a perfect distribution network and the existence of media power, Laozi will encounter this kind of cowardly incident in the future. "
At this moment, Zhuke thought a lot in his mind.
Isn't it because of the perfect global distribution channels and the existence of media power all over the United States and even the world?
"Laozi wants distribution channels!"
"There should also be TV stations, media and newspapers!"
"If I have these, then I will see who dares to kick me!"
.......
9 p.m.
Zhuke's villa.
Today, we have two guests.
Former ace negotiator Kangdi and barrister Zhang Wei.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to invite you here so late, so I won't beat about the bush." Zucker pretends to be sorry.
Poop, poop!
Before he had finished speaking, condi, who was drinking water, could not help bursting out.
"You're disgusting, condi."
Zucker hated it.
Connie quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "man, do you think I'm sick? 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 "vulgar" young man I know
"Well, I didn't say that just now."
At this moment, Zhuke was quite speechless.
How can I be such a vulgar young man? Can't I grow up? Can't you have the feeling of seeing each other with new eyes?
Zhang Wei, a barrister, laughed and did not speak.
Next, Zhuke will share with them the idea of acquiring TV stations, media and newspapers, as well as the difficulties of the previous period.
"Zucker, are you going to buy the TV station?"
Condi couldn't help laughing: "man, you don't have a fever, do you?"? Do you know how much it costs to buy a TV station or set up a media network? Do you have the money? "
Three even ask, can urge a life!
Zhuke did not answer Kangdi's question directly, but pointed to Zhang Wei, the barrister beside him.
Zhang Wei knew clearly and said solemnly: "Mr. Kangdi, please allow me to introduce this gentleman around me ceremoniously. Zucker Wald, the owner of chain stores around SpongeBob house, the owner of Wald pictures, the third tier Hollywood company, the owner of a $9 million building in Silicon Valley, the full shareholder of Standard Bank of California, the owner of the copyright of talent show, and the largest individual shareholder of ICQ
The words ended, and Condi was stunned!
"I'll go ~!"
"Old man, haven't we seen each other for months? Why do you have so much money now? "
"The hand still holds 2% Yahoo stock unexpectedly."
"In addition, are you the biggest individual shareholder of the ICQ that has recently exploded?"
"My God
"Are you worth more than 100 million?"
.......
At this moment, let alone condi, anyone would be shocked.
Who would have thought that a few months ago, a person who often drank, farted and chatted with himself would become a billionaire in a flash?
"Condi, you're wrong. My assets are not more than 100 million, but more than 200 million dollars. "
Hearing the startled words of condi, Zhuke was a little proud.
Well, although Zhuke's current achievements may not be as good as many of the walkers, as an ordinary person, it is quite proud to be able to make such a fortune in just over a year.
"Old man, do you still think I have no money to buy TV stations and set up media channels?" Zhu Ke looks at Kangdi with a light manner.
What else can condi say when the voice is down?
"Damn capitalist ~!"
Well, condi can only swear.
.......
...........
Condi's a talent, and Zucker knows that.
In more than a year, Zhuke has invited him to join his own company many times, but he refused. In his words, he doesn't want to be constrained and just wants to be a freelancer.
It is hard to say that in the acquisition of TV station, conti's action is awesome.
In less than a week, a TV station was basically negotiated. Oh no, to be exact, it is a TV network with two TV stations.
——UPN network!
Sometimes I have to sigh the wonder of fate. The owner of UPN TV network is Viacom group, the parent company of old friend paramount.
When it comes to UPN, maybe not many people will know about it in the future, but when it comes to CW, some people have heard about it.
Superman prequel, flash, Vampire Diaries
These American dramas are all produced by CW TV network.
CW television network is a public television network in the United States, which was founded in 2006. Its predecessor is based on WB television network of Warner and UPN television network of paramount.
"Zucker, UPN is definitely the most suitable TV station for your current needs."
"The company was founded in 1992, and the personnel composition of each department is relatively perfect. After the broadcast, due to the low audience rating all the year round, the price is not high. According to the prediction of the statistics company, the purchase price is about US $30-32 million."
More than 30 million dollars?!
Hearing this, Zhuke rolled his eyes.
Come on!
Because of the sale of Juno's overseas full copyright and sequel production rights, the $32 million that just came from paramount seems to be thrown back to them.
However, it's not a pity for Zhuke.
Although no money, but somehow started a TV station, you say it is not?
"Well, SpongeBob doesn't have to look for a playing platform; Well, by the way, there's also the North American copyright of "talent show". You don't have to sell it. You can do it yourself! "
For a moment, Zhuke thought a lot.
Why?
It seems that we can do it too!
The second watch is on.
Thank you for "I run with white horse" and reward 100 yuan.
