Today, in the name of chairman of the group, Zhuke convened a group meeting on Harry Potter theme park.

CEO Victor Jones;

Jack dueson Schmidt, CEO;

Senior vice president Marion T. Ford;

Senior Vice President Harry Quinn;

Kevin Fitch, CEO of Wald pictures, one of its subsidiaries;

President of SpongeBob house, one of the subsidiaries, and President of Family Entertainment Department of the group, taro Hashimoto;

After all, this is the first large-scale collective meeting held by the group headquarters since the end of 2001. No one will be absent. Even if the business in hand is busy, they will rush to this meeting immediately.

Before the meeting, Kevin Fitch whispered to taro Hashimoto, "Mr. Hashimoto, you'll be busy in the next few years."

"Kevin sang, what do you mean by that?"

Hashimoto doubts.

Kevin Fitch immediately rolled a white eye: "Hashimoto, can you stop acting stupid? The preparation of Harry Potter theme park, including the specific operation in the future, don't tell me it's not your responsibility? "

Smell speech, Hashimoto tairo chat up a smile way: "I make a joke just."

He's just playing dumb!

For now, although he does not hold the post of senior vice president in the group headquarters, he has a lot of power, even one of the most powerful executives.

SpongeBob house has more than 32 stores in the United States.

Well, these are all direct stores.

If you include franchise stores and cooperative distributors, then the number will never be less than 150 stores.

In June 2002, Fortune magazine, together with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, made a valuation list of all unlisted companies in the United States with great potential.

Among them, there is SpongeBob house.

SpongeBob house is valued at $190 million, ranking 172 on the list!

"Hashimoto, you see, this is just a subsidiary of SpongeBob house, which you are responsible for. Don't forget, you are the president of the group's family entertainment department, responsible for the authorization of the group's games, books, peripherals, etc. And the Bates doll factory alone is enough to be envied by many people. "

Kevin Fitch said slowly, in an envious tone.

SpongeBob house is valued at $190 million, ranking 172 on the list. But what about the Bates doll factory?

——Ninth!

you 're right!

According to the list published by Fortune magazine, among the newly rising and unlisted enterprises, Bates doll ranks very high, directly in the top ten and ranks ninth.

Valued at over $5.1 billion!

"You say, can I not envy it?"

Kevin Fitch joked: "since the establishment of the Bates doll factory, it has created a series of amazing miracles in just two and a half years. It is the presence of countless large enterprises."

Hashimoto quickly responded: "Kevin sang, what you said is too... Exaggerated."

As soon as the words came out, many of the executives who were present were stunned.

Is this NIMA modest?

Bullshit!

In the face of the rapid rise of Bates, who is not envious of it?!

Jin Shuguang's music director domino immediately said with a smile, "you've gone too far, man."

"That's it

Ms. Donna Langley, President of TV group, said slowly: "if I remember correctly, in the recent group financial report review, the total sales of Bates dolls in the first half of this year exceeded 3 billion US dollars, second only to the sales of Barbie dolls of Mattel company, which was 3.35 billion US dollars, ranking second, occupying nearly 40% of the doll doll doll series market share."

"True or false?"

Kevin Fitch was shocked and said, "I know that the Bates doll is very successful, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful!"

Other people's faces were also shocked!

Mattel's Barbie dolls have been sold around the world for nearly 50 years. It is the childhood memories of countless girls, and it has also created incredible profits for Mattel.

But now?

There's the Baez doll!

Once on the market, it quickly became the rival of Barbie doll, which can be called the enemy of life!

Especially in a short period of more than two years, it has been able to compete with Barbie doll, and has the qualification to challenge its hegemony.

In fact, not only the executives present were shocked, but Mattel was even more angry and wanted to eat its meat raw. You know, Bates almost belongs to Mattel!

Ms. Donna Langley envied: "SpongeBob house, Bates doll factory, family entertainment department of the group, together with the upcoming Harry Potter theme park, tut tut ~ Hashimoto, you are responsible for the industry in the future, its value is no less than 10 billion US dollars!"

Domino, Kevin Fitch and others are all envious.

At present, one of the group's senior executives is one. When it comes to the scale and power of the industry in charge, no one can compare with taro Hashimoto.

"We have a lot of power, but we also have a lot of responsibility. I feel this great pressure all the time. All of you, please encourage me."

Hashimoto said solemnly.

Ms. Donna Langley

Domino "...."

Kevin fitch

All the people in the room took a puff.

Pressure?

They want it, too!

Hashimoto murmured to Kevin Fitch: "Kevin sang, I heard that the boss may completely split the production department and Distribution Department of Wald pictures in the near future. Is that true?"

It's true that no pot can be opened.

"Yes."

"Although I don't want to admit it, judging from the current manpower adjustment of various departments of the company, the film distribution Department will be completely independent by the end of this year, or at the beginning of this year at the latest, and will be separated from the Wald film system," Kevin Fitch said stiffly

Film and television production and distribution, the two completely split, can undoubtedly protect the interests of the group to the greatest extent.

Especially in the box office!

In the original time and space, Warner company produced and released the final episode of the Harry Potter series. The three actors in the Hogwarts iron triangle proposed a high price to the producer and demanded a high box office bonus.

Warner, of course... Is not a vegetarian!

The distribution box office of Hollywood's major issuers is about 5% - 35%, with a lot of flexibility.

For popular movies such as Harry Potter, the distributor's revenue is about 8-10%. However, Warner, facing the greed of the Woz iron triangle, directly set the distribution revenue at 38%, which is three points higher than the normal maximum of 35%.

Finally, there is a phenomenon on the producer's account!

The global box office of the final episode of Harry Potter exceeded 1.3 billion US dollars, but the producer's account showed a loss, and it was a huge loss, which completely ruined the actors' dream of sharing accounts, and did not get a cent of the box office bonus.

Therefore, the complete separation of the Distribution Department and the production department has many advantages, but it will also cause labor pains, and even lead to large-scale staff turnover.

"I know the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but the pain is inevitable. In the next six months to a year, my life will be difficult."

Kevin Fitch said with a wry smile.

Taro Hashimoto and others nodded.

Dong Dong Dong~

At this time, a sound of footwork came.

Here comes big boss Zucker!
