Chapter 94

One day at the end of May.

As the boss of Golden Dawn entertainment group, Zhuke needs to inspect his company.

Even as a shake off shopkeeper, we can't let the company completely out of our control, otherwise it will inevitably lead to a situation of big tail.

The financial audit, the introduction and replacement of important equipment, the appointment of personnel in important positions, etc. all need to be personally reviewed and decided by Zhuke.

First stop: Wald pictures.

As a subsidiary of Golden Dawn entertainment group, it is the most core subsidiary.

Victor, CEO of the head office and CEO of Wald pictures, got the news early and accompanied Zhuke to review the company.

"Boss, these materials in front of you have been the result of a week's sorting and auditing by the financial team of the head office." Victor pointed to the paper on his desk.

The content of the document is not much, only dozens of pages.

Of course, this is the result of the audit and streamlining of the financial team led by Martha. Otherwise, it will be a stack of raw materials.

Many can let the human headache that!

While looking at the sorted materials, Zhuke listened to Victor's explanation.

"Boss, the Distribution Department of Wald pictures has grown from only six states last year to 35 states."

"Of the 48 native states, 13 remain; As for the two overseas places, Alaska and Hawaii, they are also sending manpower to set up their distribution business. It is expected that by the end of this year, the distribution network of Wald pictures will be able to completely lay out the whole United States. "

Zucker nodded immediately.

There are both gratification and bitterness.

You know, the reason why Wald film's distribution network can cover so many places so quickly is that Zhuke has paid real money!

Since the establishment of Wald pictures, Zucker has never drawn any money from it. Except for the shooting funds of various films, all the remaining funds are used to expand the company's distribution network.

Besides, the money is not enough!

As a result, Zucker mortgaged part of the film company's shares and several film copyrights, borrowed $30 million from Wells Fargo, and invested all his money in the Distribution Department.

"Not bad. I didn't spend so much money in vain!"

Zucker nodded in relief.

Victor added: "boss, for the establishment of the Distribution Department, the US dollar needs to be continuously invested. After all, when we have a distribution network covering the United States, the next step is to set up a distribution network covering the whole of North America in Canada, Mexico and other places."

"The next step is to go to South America!"

"Then there are Europe, Asia, Australia and so on, all of which require a lot of money."

The voice fell, and the corners of Zhuke's mouth drew slightly.

“......”

What else can Zucker say now?

It's a huge gold gobbler to set up a Distribution Department!

It took more than $50 million to build a distribution network covering more than half of the United States.

Well, you can imagine how difficult it is to set up a global distribution business!

Moreover, when it comes to the day of going out of North America, the pressure we are facing is not only the pressure of capital, but also the pressure of film and television distribution industry in other countries!

And various local protection policies of governments.

That's why Hollywood's big six is always the big six.

Only they are able to release films from all over the world. The film and television counterparts in other countries, let alone surpass, do not even have the qualification to look up to them.

First, there is no money;

Second, we don't have strong contacts.

Most importantly, in order to set up a global distribution business, which of the six major Hollywood companies has not been deeply cultivated for decades?

Wald still has a long way to go!

"Victor, no matter what else, we need to complete the distribution network covering the United States and North America first. As for the distribution business in Europe and other places, we will look back."

Zhuke's tone was full of helplessness.

"OK, boss." Victor answered.

Apart from the big six, the other second tier film companies in Hollywood are also strong. The shareholders behind them are also strong figures. The distribution business covers the United States and even North America, so there is no problem.

But!

They just don't have a global distribution business!

Even if it's making the top three movies in North America's annual box office, such as twilight's peak entertainment. However, in order to promote the film to the overseas market, we can only accept the exploitation of Hollywood's six major industries.

Always be controlled by others!

Under the long-term repression, even if they are all ambitious at the beginning, they will inevitably be acquired or eliminated by the big six in the end.

Think of the DreamWorks built by Spielberg, carsenberg and David Geffen!

When DreamWorks was founded, what a sensation it was!

Once upon a time, it once claimed that it was a big company "able to compete with the big six".

For several years in a row, he has produced such well-known films as Saving Private Ryan, Shrek the monster, kung fu panda, etc., which swept the Oscars. But in the end, they were dismembered and acquired because of the suppression of the six big companies?

One of the most important reasons is that there is no network covering the global distribution business!

"Damn it

"Not so much now!"

"Start with your own money and try."

"It took ten years and more than one billion US dollars to set up a global distribution business."

"After a few years, if not, I will buy one of the top six."

Zucker is confident.

It's money. As a passer-by, he still has the strength.

.......

Next time, Victor explained the shooting situation of "fatal bend 2", "human clearance plan" and "the sixth sense" to Zhuke.

"Boss, one of the three films, the human clearance project, was closed as early as the beginning of this month, and post editing and other production began. The film has been roughly cut three times, and it is expected that it will be finished in another two weeks." Said Victor.

"Er..."

"It seems that Zach is really in a hurry. It's less than four months. How he wants to shoot "Sparta 300" soon

Victor also said with a smile: "it's a little faster, but judging from the situation reflected by Kevin Fitch, Zach is not in a hurry to make things rough."

Zucker nodded: "I have never doubted the quality of Zach's directing works. He is a director with pursuit. Well, what about Nolan? "

Nolan?!

Speaking of Nolan, Victor immediately came to the spirit.

"Boss, I have to say that you have a good eye for people. I have been to the shooting scene of "fatal bend" several times, and I have also seen a few rough clips. Director Nolan is really a very talented young director. From my professional perspective, his future achievements will not be low. "

"Ha ha." Juke gave a mean smile.

Nolan, the film he shot all his life, has never scored lower than 7.5, and is one of the few directors who combine art and business.

Can his future achievements be lower?

Shamalan is directing "the sixth sense of the supernatural", which makes Zhuke worry less.

Everything is going very well!

After all, shamaran has an amazing artistic standard in the theme of supernatural terror. The film also makes Zhuke very much look forward to, you know, it is a movie with the number one box office in 1999 and the global box office is more than 600 million US dollars!

The second watch is on.

Thank you for your reward.
