Chapter 324: Establishing a Game Company
The conversation between Zhuke and Lei Shidong can be described as unexpectedly smooth.
Of course, except for Zhuke and Redstone herself, there is only one Lisa who knows the details, which are unknown to outsiders, but there are many well-informed people in the United States, and there is no shortage of speculation.
So that night, a local newspaper in Los Angeles published the news.
[What exactly is Juke Wald's intention to meet with Lei Shidong, chairman of Viacom Group?]
This newspaper, called "Chasing Wind News", cited multiple speculations in its article.
“Mergers and acquisitions?”
"As we all know, AOL is now negotiating mergers and acquisitions with Time Warner Group. So, as a media empire, does Viacom Group also have to adopt mergers and acquisitions? The target of the merger is Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, a subsidiary of Juke Wald?"
Watching the fun is not a big deal!
This is what we are talking about!
The media's unconformity and unlimited ethics are well known to everyone. In order to pursue hot spots, selling points and interests, the primary point of the news they report is to talk about it in a big way and attract more readers' attention.
Obviously, they succeeded!
That night, the evening newspaper, which was released in the new issue of "Chasing Wind News", was completely sold out in just a few hours.
Nebel Joe, the owner of the "Braining Wind News", looked at the performance report and smiled: "This Juke Wald is indeed a hot topic in mobile. Now I tie him to Redstone to report, which has indeed attracted a lot of attention. I want to make a lot of money!"
"Boss, then what should I do next?" asked an editor.
"Idiot~"
Nebel Joe shouted: "Of course, it's a series of reports that lasts at least a week. Do I need to teach you this? If you don't make money, God will not forgive me, Amen~"
at the same time.
Other tabloids in America are not to be outdone.
A lot of manpower was withdrawn at the first time and quickly wrote.
"Hurry up~ guys!"
"We have already given the bastard Nebel Joe of Wind Chasing News a step ahead, there is a lag behind, and now we have to catch up."
"Time is money!"
A media newspaper boss constantly urges his employees. The hot spot is money, the capital for their pursuit and survival.
"Boss, Juke Wald and Redstone are not easy to mess with. They are media tycoons themselves, and they have a strong and powerful lawyer team. We can't afford to mess with each other." An employee said worriedly.
"I'm afraid of you!"
The boss said disdainfully: "They are strong, but I am not a vegetarian. Could it be that they can cover the sky with just one hand? I don't have other skills, but I am brave. In a word, no one can stop me from making money. This is the right given to every citizen by American law, and God cannot deprive him of it."
......
Various reports are frequent, and conspiracy theories are constantly coming.
Whether online or offline, the public attracted the attention of the general public and started a crazy discussion.
"Really or not?"
“Viacom Group is going to acquire Mr. Wald’s company?”
"It should not be possible! As far as I know, Mr. Wald just cashed out billions of dollars in cash from the stock market not long ago, and he would not be short of money."
"Haha, I think it might be true..."
"As far as we all know, Viacom's Paramount Pictures, which has worked with Zhuke's Wald Pictures, has been a senior partner for several years. Now it is completely possible to get together again and even go further."
"Isn't it common for the six major Hollywood companies to acquire second- and third-tier film companies? Don't doubt it!"
"Rumor, it's so fragrant, simple and confused!"
.........
For a time, the media of Viacom Group's acquisition of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group was flying all over the sky. The rumor was so buzzing and dust was noisy.
Jinshuguang Entertainment Group.
Assistant Alexander frowned and said, "Boss, should you let the company's legal department be dispatched and sent a letter to these media for warning."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary to send a letter. Although it's fake news, isn't it a promotion for us? These media know that they are all human beings!"
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, and the person came was ceo Victor of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group.
Victor said straight to the point: "Boss, I agree that you have decided to work with Paramount Pictures to be the producer of the Tomb Raider project. This will deepen our contact with the Six majors and will not put us on the target of public criticism."
After the words came to an end, Zucker smiled.
Victor said again: "My main purpose is not the Tomb Raider project, but I think the company's Wald Pictures will expand its recruitment."
"Extend the recruitment?" Zhuke raised his eyebrows.
Is there a shortage of people?
"Boss, looking at this year, Wald Pictures has produced many popular films such as "My Grand Greek Wedding", "Spartan 300 Warriors", "Blair the Witch", and "Finding Nemo", but the number of our productions is far from that of the Six majors and DreamWorks."
While talking, Victor gave Zucker a set of data.
As of the end of September this year, the number of films produced by Wald Pictures was only 6, which has increased to a certain extent compared with the same period last year.
However......
Compared with the six major production volumes, this is like a younger brother!
As of the end of September, Disney Group has released 14 videos one after another;
Warner Bros. Pictures has released 13 videos;
Sony Columbia Pictures has released 11 videos;
...
DreamWorks Film, which is known as the top six majors, has also released 9 videos.
"Boss, this is just the number of films produced by Liuda and DreamWorks itself. If they invest in it, the number of sub-film companies they control will be even greater." Victor said in a deep voice.
If a film company wants to grow and grow, in addition to having high-quality high-quality movies, it also needs to have strong strength and ability to produce multiple movies.
With the insufficient number of videos, how can we occupy a certain voice in theaters?
Is Wald Pictures strong enough at this stage?
No!
At present, the only movies that Wald Pictures is producing are Spider-Man, Harry Potter, "Death is Coming" and "Butterfly Effect". This is already in its limit.
In contrast, Six majors and DreamWorks...
Their manpower and strength can ensure that they produce more than 8 movies at the same time, and even more, and there will be no shortage of manpower.
A lot of talents!
In a word, Wald Pictures has a serious shortage of manpower!
The lack of talent is even worse!
"I agree, whether it is recruiting or poaching people, I only look at the results." Zhuke pondered.
“Yes, boss.”
Victor was immediately full of energy, and there was no doubt that Wald Pictures' size would expand soon.
Soon, Zhu Ke was the only one left in the huge office.
"Ding Dong!"
[Congratulations to the host, I obtained a brief list of personnel for Baokai Game Company, founded in 2000.]
Baokai Game Company?
The system suggests that I create a game company?
While Zhu Ke was confused, he had never heard of the name of Baokai Game Company. After all, Zhu Ke played games in his previous life and rarely paid attention to the production company behind his games.
However...
Not long...
Damn it!
"The "Plant vs. Zombies" game turned out to be made by this Baokai Game Company!"
Chapter completed!
