Chapter 140 Excellent? Then buy it!

Universal Pictures Group.

"What?!"

"Our new film failed to win the weekend box office championship?"

"The Sixth Sense of Supernatural Science" has a cumulative box office of more than $93 million in the first three days of the first weekend?"

Board of Directors *** Eric Langella, this thin old man, couldn't help but frown when he looked at the report in his hand.

"Rymond, what is the origin of this Wald Pictures? It can defeat the Jackal's Doomsday produced by our Universal Pictures and win the weekend box office championship?"

United*** Eric Langella asked: "Is it a subsidiary of Columbia or a subsidiary of Disney?"

Upon hearing this, Universal Pictures President Remond Cervarane shook his head immediately.

"None are!"

"Oh?" The little old man Eric became interested in an instant, "It's not a subsidiary of the six majors. Please tell me carefully."

At this moment, Eric was indeed interested.

A film company independent of the six majors was able to win the weekend box office championship and even gained the position of its own global leader. How could Eric, a senior capitalist, not be curious?

His interests come from interests.

His current idea is to ask if he can acquire it!

Universal Pictures President Rimond Cevaraine understands it.

He solemnly said: "Boss, the producer of "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" is called Wald Pictures. It was founded at the end of 1995 and was predecessored by Hughes Pictures."

"After acquiring Hughes Pictures, its company boss, well, Juke Wald, was an extremely young man who was only 18 years old. Shortly after the acquisition, he personally served as the screenwriter and director, completing Wald Pictures' first theater film, "Rolla Run."

"After the film was released in North America, it has accumulated a total of nearly $14 million in box office."

"The production cost is said to be less than 1 million US dollars, which is a typical case of small profits and big profits."

"Of course, the most important thing is that Paramount bought the overseas release rights and copyright of the film for only millions of dollars, and in just a few months, the European market alone achieved a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars."

After the words came to an end, even the old man Eric showed a hint of shock.

Make a big difference with a small one?

Achievements of over 100 million US dollars overseas are just a typical case list of small profits!

It's not, so what is it?

For a moment, Eric, who is Universal Pictures United, almost couldn't help but ask Raymond: "Why didn't you buy it?"

Of course, Eric didn't say this.

Because the past is naturally the past, there is no point in asking these questions now. Well, it will only make you stupid.

"What about it later?"

Talents in large companies are not omnipotent. It is normal to miss some profitable videos every year. However, the old man Eric still feels a little distressed when he misses the box office of hundreds of millions of dollars.

later?

At this moment, a shock appeared on the cold face of Universal Pictures President Raymond, and he said in a deep voice: "Later, Wald Pictures has successively launched three films: "Hard Fruit Candy", "Deadly Bends" and "Juno".

"The box office of "Fruit Hard Candy" is not high, but its reputation is good, and the offline market is very rewarding;"

"The Deadly Bend" has achieved a box office of more than 32 million US dollars in North America, and its overseas box office is close to 40 million US dollars, and its production cost is only 1 million US dollars, which is another case of making a big fortune with a small profit;"

"The most amazing thing is the "Juno". The movie has achieved a box office of more than 63 million dollars in three days of its first weekend, and its global box office is more than 200 million dollars."

Damn it!

The little old man Eric immediately bounced out of his seat in shock.

Logically speaking, even if these box office data doubled, Eric, who has seen many big scenes, wouldn't be so shocked.

However......

The speed of Wald Pictures' rise is really terrifying!

Wald Pictures, which has been established for just one year, has released two movies with a global box office of over 100 million US dollars. Is it shocking for others?

Looking at the major Hollywood film companies, no one can rise so quickly!

.........

In the following time, Universal Pictures President Raymond introduced in detail the actions of Wald Pictures afterwards.

Acquisition of UPN TV Network and launch the popular variety show "America's Got Talent";

Founded the Water World Animation Studio and produced the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants" that swept across the United States;

It owns the largest surrounding chain in downtown Los Angeles - SpongeBob House;

Merge several subsidiaries to establish a small media group-Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group;

Its subsidiary Jin Shuguang Music has recently launched a new album by its signed artist Emu, with sales exceeding 30 million copies;

In addition, Wald Pictures has a complete distribution network that can cover the entire United States;

.........

All kinds of deeds shocked the little old man Eric again and again!

"Acquiring him!"

"We must acquire him!"

The little old man Eric had a bloody red eyes and almost roared in a roaring tone: "A such an excellent film company must have a great parent company, and we Universal Pictures must not miss it."

"Boss, we tried it, but it was rejected by Juke Wald." Reymond shook his head and smiled bitterly.

reject?

"snort!"

The little old man Eric snorted coldly: "Dare you dare to refuse? Do you don't know how great our Universal Pictures is and how powerful it is?"

The implication is very obvious!

You dare to refuse?

OK, don't blame me for suppressing you!

In terms of media public opinion, theater screening, film review and rating committees give you all-round blows!

Descendant?

Not! This is just a normal business method, well, at least they understand so much about large companies.

"There are multiple collaborations in the boss, Wald Pictures and Paramount," reminded Universal Pictures President Raymond.

"Well?"

The little old man Eric was stunned for a moment.

In other words, Paramount is supporting Wald Pictures. In this way, in terms of theater screening and the film review and rating committee under the control of Hollywood will not be so easy to rated Wald Pictures' films.

Especially the film review and rating committee!

As the name suggests, the film review and rating committee is an organization that gives corresponding ratings to movies produced by major North American film companies, that is, the G-level (mass level), PG-level (normal level), PG-level (rural level), PG-13 level, R-level, NC-17 level that you see in daily life...

The Film Review Rating Committee, affiliated to the American Film Association, is a civil organization, but due to its long history and the influence of the six major Hollywoods, it almost determines the rating of a film.

The audience group that can watch videos is mandatory, mainly in terms of age.

At the same time, it is also a symbol of Hollywood's six major powers and unrivaled status!

Are you against the Six Majors?

Well, just a little bit of stumble on you can cause you to lose a huge amount!

However, now, because Wald Pictures has Paramount backing, it is not that easy for Universal Pictures to grasp Wald Pictures in the film review and rating committee.

"So, then we will use the real money price to officially acquire it!"

The little old man Eric is not a master who can't take it or let it go. He immediately said, "Rymond, go and talk to them about how much it can be purchased. Haha, a young man under 20 years old must have agreed when he heard that we bought it."

How much does it cost to acquire?

Suddenly, Remond shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Boss, don't think that Juke Wald is young, but he really doesn't lack money."

Remond smiled bitterly: "In addition to being the boss of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, he also owns 2% of Yahoo stock, 12% of ICQ stock, 8% of Amazon stock, and the stocks of these three companies alone are worth more than 600 million US dollars!"

“And, Zuckerwald also has Standard Bank of California, LinkedIn, and a series of investments in hand, so…”

So what?

Of course it's Jukovald, he doesn't lack money at all!

The little old man Eric suddenly lost his soul for a long time before sighing: "Are young people so amazing now?"
