Chapter 398
Wald Pictures.
Zucker, Old Bill, Kevin Feige, and Zach Schneider were staring at the TV.
The content that the TV is playing at this moment is a live broadcast of the press conference provided by Viacom TV platform.
"Dear friends in front of the TV, we are broadcasting a live broadcast of DreamWorks Animation and a press conference for signing a distribution contract with Paramount."
"As we all know, since 1997, Paramount Pictures has signed a series of cooperation agreements with DreamWorks Animation and DreamWorks Group, the parent company of DreamWorks Animation."
"The cooperation agreement ended in early March this year."
"So, the big Hollywood film and television companies have had a lot of struggles to obtain the overseas distribution rights of DreamWorks Animation!"
"There are many famous film companies, such as Mr. Juke Wald's Wald Pictures!"
"Recently, while promoting "Spider-Man", Wald Pictures has made many good moves on DreamWorks animation in order to compete for the overseas distribution rights of DreamWorks animation. Well, it is enough to prove that Wald Pictures actively helps promote "Chicken Run".
"However, today...Dreamworks Animation's overseas distribution rights and distribution contracts in the next few years will be once again spent on Paramount Pictures!"
"Here, let us congratulate DreamWorks and Paramount. Their hands together again will surely contribute even better movies to Hollywood, America, and the audiences who love movies all over the world!"
The next picture naturally switched to the rostrum.
Paramount's representative is Zucker's old friend.
——Jordan!
I have to say that my old friend Jordan has been promoted recently. In addition to being the top leader of Paramount Distribution Department, he has also been promoted to the position of senior vice president of Paramount Pictures. He is in a good mood and walks with great enthusiasm.
"A friend of the reporter asked me just now why Paramount held hands with DreamWorks again?"
Jordan said funnyly: "What else can it be? Of course, both sides are interested in cooperation. After all, cooperation is beneficial to both of us."
The person in DreamWorks is Jeffrey Carsonberg, who has a "good character".
“I also heard a lot of journalists mentioning why not working with Mr. Juke Wald’s company?”
Jeffrey Carsonberg looked around and said solemnly: "In fact, we have also focused on the cooperation of Wald Pictures. Moreover, the cooperation between our two sides is very good, and several negotiations are also very good. It can be said that if it is good, it is not enough to sign a formal contract. Alas~ I am deeply regretful that I have failed to continue to cooperate."
He paused and said, "However, the result also shows that the cooperation between DreamWorks and Paramount is obviously better than cooperation with Wald Pictures."
The reporters at the scene nodded frequently.
However......
At this moment, the old Bill and the others who were watching the press conference were almost smashed by the TV.
Kevin Feige said angrily: "I never expected that Jeffrey Carsonberg, who has always been good-character, is also such a bastard guy?! He is still working to the last step, and he is just about to sign a contract? He is fooling around!"
How many friendly negotiations have you been?
Nothing to negotiate!
Zach Schneider, who is the director and director of the production department, couldn't help but echo: "A few days ago, at a director exchange summit, I heard other directors say that DreamWorks often deduct directors' pay and dividends, and they criticized this a lot. However, if you don't want DreamWorks animation, it's so unbearable, and you can easily lose your trust!"
"Calm down~"
Old Bill was calm and smiled and said, "Dreamworks failed to make an appointment and made a mistake. Haven't we prepared for it? We can't cooperate. In the future, we just think it's a thunderbolt."
"Even so, I'm still quite upset!" Kevin Feige's eyes shone coldly.
Zach Schneider couldn't help but laugh, "Dreamworks' reputation was already stinking on the streets, but now, its reputation is even worse!"
Zucker nodded.
In fact, when Zhuke learned that he had been fooled, he was of course quite angry and restless at the first time, but just a moment later, Zhuke calmed down.
It is a pity that it is impossible to win the overseas issuance rights of DreamWorks, but Zhuke doesn't have to do it.
If there is no, there is nothing!
"Kevin, Zach, you don't have to get angry. DreamWorks is proud now, and there will be some trouble for them in the future!" Zhuke laughed.
Dreamworks?
hehe!
In the original time and space, DreamWorks' name is quite resounding.
It can be said that its popularity is no less than that of the top six Hollywoods.
Let’s not talk about the animation produced by DreamWorks Animation. Just live-action movies produced by DreamWorks, such as "Artificial Intelligence", "Save Private Ryan", "Vanilla Sky", "Cat and Mouse Game", "Escape from the Cloned Island"... It is a pretty good movie.
DreamWorks Group has a huge fan base around the world.
but!
However, DreamWorks Group, its reputation in the industry and at home and abroad, is inaudible.
The mountain capital of India, Samsung in South Korea, Daewoo Group, Keizuru Honda in Japan, Lee Consortium in Southeast Asia, and nobles from all over Europe...
Many people have been deceived by DreamWorks!
People outside the industry invest in Hollywood's film industry, are cheated and exploited, which is certain, but in the end, there are many investors who can make money, but it is just a matter of how much they make.
However, almost none of the laymen who invested in DreamWorks can make money!
Even if DreamWorks movies are selling well, Spielberg can still make losses on the books.
To put it bluntly, they are just cheating people. Well, they are still unscrupulous.
As the saying goes, "It's not that you don't pay back, the time has not come!"
Since 2003, DreamWorks has been in a dilemma and has suffered a serious shortage of funds.
At this time, Spielberg's world director's title was once again given out, but no one believed him anymore, well, except for a few guys with iron heads.
Just a few years later, DreamWorks was divided up by other film companies.
The final bleak ending ~
.........
That night.
Zucker received a call from DreamWorks Jeffrey Carsonberg.
"Sorry~"
"Sorry, my best friend!"
"You know, many things are not decided by me!"
"I know what I say now is useless, but please believe that I did not intend to hurt you. I hope we are still good friends."
Jeffrey said a lot on the phone and apologized to Zucker many times.
"I understand, of course I understand!" Zhuke said with a smile.
Let's go lie~
I hope we will still be good friends in the future?
Go dreaming~
At this moment, Zhuke had already made a decision: "Now you still need to thunder and block the suppression of the six major Hollywood majors, and I will not fight. However, when your DreamWorks is in crisis, I will definitely laugh... push it and push DreamWorks into the abyss."
Soon, Spielberg also called Zucker in person.
Regarding the movie, I talked with Zhu Kehai, and Zhu Ke responded with a smile.
"Let's see~"
Anyone who knows Zhuke knows that this guy has never been a generous master.
Chapter completed!
