Chapter 170

The acquisition of White Castle press cost US $7.8 million;

The acquisition of smile press cost 63 million US dollars;

The acquisition of Duke of brown bear press cost US $70 million;

After winning the three publishing houses, Jin Shuguang entertainment group spent a total of 140.8 million US dollars. Rao is rich and powerful, and the money is definitely not a small number.

"Victor, our current liquidity should be enough to support the film distribution network in Mexico and South America, right?"

Asked Zhuke.

"Yes

CEO Victor nodded and said, "this morning, the financial director, sister Martha, just reported the financial situation of the company to me. At present, there is still US $120 million of working capital on the account of the head office, which is enough to prepare for the establishment of distribution networks in Mexico and South America. Moreover, even if there is a shortage of funds, we can allocate funds from UPN and Wald to support the strategic expansion plan of the head office. "

Smell speech, Zhu Ke nodded.

The heart is clear.

"Oh, yes. As for Titanic, don't forget to pay more attention in the near future, and urge paramount and fox to quickly transfer the first share to our company's account. " Zhuke reminded again.

"OK, boss."

"The big six guys in Hollywood are all cannibals. If they don't pay attention, our money will be taken away. I don't want to go to court with them because of the money. That's too much trouble." Zucker curled his mouth.

The six virtues of Hollywood are not reassuring at all!

Every year, there are no less than dozens of lawsuits against any one of the six major Hollywood companies over pay and share issues!

For the film "tantenik", Wald pictures invested 85 million US dollars to take 25% of the box office profit share of the producer, as well as the related offline peripheral licensing revenue.

According to the current box office trend, the box office results of the film should be almost the same as the original time and space.

In other words, the box office in North America is 659 million US dollars, the overseas box office is 1.151 billion US dollars, and the global cumulative box office is 1.81 billion US dollars (not counting the remade 3D version in 2012 and the 20th anniversary version in 2017).

...

First, North America.

"Titanic" North American box office 659 million dollars!

After deducting 39% of the cinema's share, 18% of the distributor's expenses, 3% of the material expenses such as copying, and 15% of the director's share, only 25% of the total box office in North America, or about $164 million, fell into the hands of the producers.

However!

This $164 million is not entirely owned by Wald pictures!

The revenue of Wald pictures is only a quarter of the 164 million US dollars, and only 41 million US dollars in the end!

"Damn paramount and fox, it's so black!"

Make complaints about Zuker's report, Tucao: "Victor, look at their distribution costs, click on the tongue, have no shame to get 18%."

Don't make complaints about Zuker.

You should know that in normal times, the distribution cost of a film with a cost of more than 100 million yuan is 8% ~ 15%, and even the distribution cost of some films is only 6%.

I have to say that the big six are really enough for chicken thieves!

The production company and the distribution company of the film "tantenik" are the two of them. To raise the distribution cost is just a left-handed thing for both of them, but for Wald pictures, it is a big loss.

"Ha ha!"

Hearing the words, Victor laughed very unkindly.

He said with a smile: "boss, you can just say it in front of me. If you say it in front of paramount and 20th century fox, you will probably make them angry."

"Don't forget, we made a lot of money at the overseas box office."

"In addition, in North America, the box office alone recovered US $160 million, deducting US $85 million of costs, and we made us $75 million."

"The big beneficiary is the profit of the offline market, which is expected to bring us another profit of no less than 250 million US dollars in the next few years."

As the voice fell, juketon was out of breath.

After this account, Zhuke really made a lot of money.

Moreover, even if in the future, the film will be re released in the 3D version in 2012 and the 20th anniversary version in 2017, Wald pictures, as one of the investors, will continue to enjoy profit sharing.

It's so beautiful!

"Well, the next job is to integrate the three publishers acquired into one publishing house and three sub famous brands."

For a time, Zhuke thought a lot in his mind and began to make a long-term plan.

What is the purpose of acquiring publishing house?

It's not to expand the territory of Golden Dawn entertainment group and provide the company's anti risk ability.

At the same time, after the integration of the publishing house, we can start the operation of the Harry Potter series novels. When the time is right, we can start the big movie mode at one stroke.

.......

Fox in the 20th century.

CEO Bill mcnick, president Tom Rothman, COO jack, director of production garnopoulos, production manager and Titanic producer Grant Hill.

Five people gathered to discuss the issue of Wald pictures.

"Bill, we are going to lose a lot of money in the Titanic project. You are the CEO of the group, and you are mainly responsible for it!"

At the beginning of the meeting, Tom Rothman, as the president of the group, pointed the spearhead directly at CEO Bill mcnick.

The purpose is obvious!

That is to investigate the responsibility and bring you down!

If you don't step down, how can I get a chance to be in the top position?

"According to the financial data, Wald pictures will make at least $320 million in the next few years," said garnopoulos, director of production. The board of directors has made its position and asked us to explain the sale of investment shares to Wald pictures. "

"That's right!"

Chief operating officer Jack: "bill, you are the CEO, you have to take the main responsibility!"

Grant Hill, production manager and Titanic producer, agrees: "Mr. Murdoch, he'll see how much money we've made for him and how much money we've lost because of our stupidity."

CEO Bill

deserted by one's followers!

At this moment, bill mcnick felt very cold. In addition to scolding a few guys at the scene for their unkindness, he also scolded the initiator, Zhuke.

If it wasn't for Zucker, he would still be enjoying the success and cheers brought by the Titanic.

Now, however, it's all over!

Sure enough!

Within a few days, in the new board of directors, the vast majority of shareholders headed by Chairman Murdoch issued an attack on CEO Bill.

In particular, those shareholders who have been dissatisfied with bill for a long time call on other shareholders to remove bill as CEO.

In the end, it was voted through.

Bill, step down!

"Zucker Wald, you son of a bitch, you made me lose my job. I'm not finished with you!" Bill mcnick.

"The third watch" is delivered, and the author continues to open the code.
