Chapter 208

At the end of June.

Golden Dawn Entertainment Group held the group's second executive meeting in the middle of the year.

The core of this conference is still the preparation of overseas film distribution channels.

"First of all, we need to be clear about the fact that our cooperation with paramount on overseas film distribution is over ~!"

"No more!"

"I would also like to tell you that we do not rule out cooperating with other Hollywood film companies in the future, but in terms of overseas distribution, we, Wald pictures, must build our own distribution channels outside the United States. This is not negotiable!"

"We must have the distribution channels of the four major states of South America, Europe, Australia and Asia!"

At the beginning of the meeting, Zucker showed an extremely strong side, breaking the idea that some executives wanted to get back together with paramount.

Strong Zhuke, let the scene a lot of Group executives, feel a burst of suffocation.

On the issue of paramount's cooperation in the distribution of overseas films, there are still many executives with illusions.

First of all, following Hollywood's big six, we can put down the problem of distribution and make movies to ensure the company's high profit every year;

Secondly, when countless people see the big six in Hollywood, the sky will drop first.

Because the six big companies in Hollywood are really too powerful and powerful!

Looking at the development of Hollywood in the past 20 years, there are too many companies rising to challenge the status of the top six, but what are the results?

Either acquired or turned into the dust of history!

Even today's most powerful DreamWorks is also choked by the six oppressors!

"Please remember, I am not a challenger of Tang Ji", I am a rich man and a very rich man!

Zhuke glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Victor, you are the CEO of the group. You are a gesture."

Victor?

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on CEO victor.

Kevin Fitch is calm;

Bill mcnichol was very interested in holding his chest in his hands;

Donna Langley has no expression;

Mr Hashimoto's eyes are fixed;

Binocular illumination of domino;

A group of senior executives showed a variety of styles. As the first person under the group company Zhuke, Victor has such influence. Otherwise, how can he get the option award in the next year?

"I support the boss's decision to terminate the follow-up cooperation with paramount on overseas film distribution!"

In spite of the color change of many people, Victor immediately said, "on this issue, I have a set of data to show you."

[in 1996, the movie "Lola Run"]

North American box office: 14.9 million US dollars;

Overseas box office: 115 million US dollars;

Wald pictures sold the film's overseas rights to paramount for $2 million.

As of June 1998.

As for the film "Lola Run", Wald pictures made a total profit of 9.2 million US dollars in box office, offline market, peripheral licensing and other channels;

In contrast to Paramount Pictures, in just over two years, the revenue from the movie "Lola Run" has brought it at least 45 million to 55 million US dollars in profits.

In other words, on the issue of "Lola Run", the profit of Wald pictures is only a fraction of paramount's.

Completely reduced to a wage earner!

For a time, Rao is a group of Group executives who are prepared. At present, he looks very ugly.

"Fatal bend" series, "human Lake project 1", "memory fragments", "Juno", "the sixth sense of the supernatural" full six films

A group of relevant data, constantly presented in front of the public.

"You know what, folks?"

"For these six films alone, paramount has made at least $300 million in overseas revenue from various channels!"

"Especially the sixth sense, which has made more than $600 million at the box office in the global market. The final profits of the films we have invested in with countless human, material and financial resources are comparable to, or even slightly inferior to, paramount, an overseas distributor. "

"Is it necessary for us to continue this kind of exploitation and blood sucking cooperation?"

Victor looked around and said in a deep voice, "remember, we are not the touchstone, Timon, Lion Gate movie companies. Our chairman, Mr. Zucker Wald, is a super rich man with a fortune of more than 2 billion dollars. He has the ability and financial resources to make us a stronger existence."

Ms. Donna nodded: "I agree with the boss and Mr. Jones."

Old Bill: "nothing to say, since the boss has money, then we have nothing to worry about, support!"

Kevin Fitch: "the cooperation between us and Carlos foundation, the distribution channel in Mexico and the layout of South America are generally good. Naturally, Europe and other markets can't let it go."

Domino: "I am in charge of music, but the expansion of the company's film business channel is bound to play a good role in promoting the music sector. I have no reason to object."

Taro Hashimoto: "in the current global market situation, channels are still an indispensable and important component. I agree with the boss's decision."

.......

The successive statements of the head of the subsidiary directly made the decision of Zhuke an irresistible reality.

In fact, the result of this meeting is not very important!

Because Zucker has decided.!

However, with the support of the senior executives and responsible persons of the subsidiary companies, those fantasy and wall riding groups will also be driven to the express train to work hard with the company and play a more powerful efficiency.

At the same time, according to the data report provided by CEO Victor, it is true that paramount has occupied a great profit, but Victor has "actively" ignored a fact.

"Without Paramount's strong overseas distribution ability, those films can't get such a high box office!"

Victor took the initiative to ignore it;

Zhuke and others also took the initiative to ignore!

Because this meeting is not a meeting of "negotiation" at all, but a meeting to give all senior executives clear facts and give people confidence.

"I just want to work alone, not cooperate with paramount!"

This is the key.

And, at the meeting, with a wave of his hand, Zhuke first set his goal.

Abbreviation: European strategy!

.......

July 3.

During the 1998 World Cup in France, bill mcnick, as the representative of Golden Dawn entertainment group, went to Europe to discuss some cooperation with the senior officials of UEFA Committee.

"One shot to fame"!

"Mr. mcnichol, is your company going to get the authorization from UEFA to start shooting this film" one shot to fame " UEFA president Gerhard eggner frowned.

(Note: before 1999, the president of UEFA was called the general secretary. Here, the title is used directly after 1999.)

"Yes."

Old Bill said solemnly: "we asked you what you and UEFA meant in the first stop. The second stop is to cooperate with FIFA and strive to create one or even a series of football movies. We can make profits while you can expand your influence. This is a win-win behavior."

Apart from the box office of the first film, the other two films are not good, but their influence is world-famous.

You may not have seen the movie "one shot to fame", but you must have heard of it.

This is an important entry point for Wald pictures and Golden Dawn entertainment group to expand their influence in Europe.

"The first watch" is sent to you. Today, it's the fourth watch to make up for what you owe yesterday.
