Chapter 536 Zhu Ke is like a lamp
The next day.
After turning on the vacation mode, Zhu Ke has once again stepped into the building of the headquarters of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group after nearly two months.
"What?!"
ceo Victor said in surprise: "Boss, do you mean that Vita Digital, located in New Zealand, is a special effects company with strength no less than Industrial Light and Magic?"
Zhuke stressed: "I mean potential!"
Victor still asked: "Boss, you need to understand that an excellent special effects production company is not just a simple model for a first-class special effects engineer for special effects software, but the most important thing is to have the R&D capabilities of new technologies. From this point of view, Industrial Light and Magic is very powerful."
Obviously, Victor expressed doubts.
Hollywood's slightly larger production companies have their own film and television special effects departments that can produce some simple special effects, but...the real large-scene special effects and top special effects still require professional special effects companies to entrust.
Moreover, it costs a lot of price.
The special effects cost of Wald Pictures’ two films, “Spider-Man” and “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”, is astronomical.
Zhuke immediately laughed and scolded: "Victor, you are the only one in the entire group who will question me and not give me face."
Upon hearing this, Victor solemnly said: "Boss, I am the CEO of the Group. I need to be responsible to the Group and to you."
Zhuke laughed twice, waved his hand, and said, "You, I can't tell you. In short, I'm optimistic about the future of Vita Digital. Of course, I will go to New Zealand in the next two days and take a look first."
Victor nodded.
In fact, Zhuke can make decisions on all the company's decisions without giving Victor any face at all, but Zhuke will not do this, nor can he do this.
Victor works for the Group Ceo. His performance is not very good, but he wins in a "stable" way, which is very satisfying to Zucker.
After all, there are many people who are eager for quick success and instant benefits in Hollywood.
Zhu Ke always despises this kind of person.
"Victor, do you want to come and take a look with me?" Zucker suddenly suggested.
"Well......?"
Victor was stunned immediately, but after thinking for more than ten seconds, he spoke: "Yes. But I will not have time to leave after three days, and I will stay in New Zealand for more than two days."
Zhuke immediately applauded: "The time planning is so accurate. With a CEO like you, it is definitely a blessing for any boss."
Praise of Hongguoguo.
Which boss doesn’t like a capable and very dedicated subordinate?
Victor smiled and said, "Boss, I was interested in Vita Digital just because I heard you. Once it really has excellent potential as you said, then it is a good thing for us to invest in it or even gradually acquire it."
Of course it is a good thing!
With the development of the times, high-investment special effects movies have gradually become mainstream movies in Hollywood in the 21st century, and Zucker holds a large number of superhero copyrights. If these copyrights are to be made into movies, then the expenses in special effects will definitely be large.
"Having a particularly excellent special effects company in hand will have this huge driving effect on the overall operation of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group." Victor's tone was firm.
Zucker nodded again.
In 2012, Disney acquired Lucasfilm, including its subsidiary Industrial Light and Magic, and paid more than $4 billion in acquisition price.
The profitability of the special effects company itself can only be said to be average. After all, a lot of money is invested in the research and development of new technologies, but an excellent special effects company is definitely a special component for a film company.
Who among the six major Hollywoods is not jealous of Industrial Light and Magic?
Zhuke is also very envious, but Lucas will not sell it at this moment. After all, Lucas is still very energetic. On the other hand, Vita Digital has not yet fully risen, but it has the opportunity to become a subsidiary of Jin Shuguang Entertainment today.
.........
A few days later.
Zhuke and Ceo Victor and his group took the private plane "Rola" to New Zealand.
There is no secret in Hollywood.
Look, the news spread as soon as Zhu Ke and others flew away from Los Angeles.
"What's this guy doing in New Zealand?"
Shea, the owner of New Line Films, immediately fell into deep thought, and the sorrow between his eyebrows could not be dissolved. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and immediately called director Peter Jackson: "Peter, where are you now? Are you going back to New Zealand?"
"Yes, I just went back to New Zealand this morning."
The voice of director Peter Jackson soon came from the other end of the phone.
Shay tightened his fists and asked, "Is it because of that guy Zucker?"
Peter Jackson, the bearded man, didn't think much and replied: "Yes, during the youth director exchange event a few days ago, I had a great time talking to Mr. Wald. Moreover, he should have arrived in New Zealand today, well, visit my Vita Digital Company."
"Mr. Shay, is there any problem?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yi felt much more at ease.
Why?
Because of the special effects company that requires huge investments, Sheayi’s new Line Film Company does not need it at all and cannot afford it.
The phone hangs up.
Shay raised his lips slightly and smiled, "That guy Juke Wald is still always cunning! Visit Vita Digital? Haha, I don't believe a word! In my opinion, he is aiming to turn Vita Digital into a subsidiary of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group!"
The words fell.
Company Vice President John Nathan said in surprise: "So should we stop it?"
Shay waved his hand and shook his head, "We have no reason to stop it! Moreover, we can't afford to support the special effects company. It's not us who should worry about, but Disney, Colombia, and the six major Hollywoods in the world."
As expected.
The six major Hollywood companies also received the news immediately and made accurate judgments.
It’s not that easy to fool these old foxes!
In just a few years, Zhuke's reputation has become the focus of everyone's attention and will become the focus wherever he goes, just like a firefly in the dark, it is impossible to hide himself.
Disney: "We can't stop it."
Since the box office failure of the movie "Pearl Harbor", Disney's severe internal struggle has once again erupted on a large scale. Even Disney Pictures' ceo Robert Eiger was almost removed from office.
It can be seen how fierce the struggle is.
Sony Columbus: "Why stop it? It's just a special effects company in New Zealand. If Jin Shuguang wants to acquire it, it's no big deal."
Hollywood is not short of excellent special effects companies, and there are still a large number of them.
However, they muttered about the potential of Vita Digital, which can be comparable to the existence of Industrial Light and Magic in the future, and is even better in motion capture technology.
Global: "A professional special effects company is a gold-swalking beast, and there is no need to introduce it."
Since Universal Pictures was acquired by France's Vivendi Group, high profits are the first goal.
Paramount: "That guy Zhuke is not a targetless person. When it comes to understanding Zhuke, we Paramount has a say. Vita Digital is very likely to be a potential gold."
Media tycoon Lei Shidong became interested immediately and arranged for people to go to New Zealand for inspection.
Murdoch, a media tycoon of 20th Century Fox, also made the same choice and appointed the company's vice president to inspect.
soon......
The private plane of the Rolla arrived in New Zealand successfully.
Victor smiled and said, "Boss, I guess the whole Hollywood knows that we have so much fanfare in Vita Digital."
Zhuke shrugged and said, "If you know, you will know. I am determined to win Vita Digital unless they are richer than me."
not give a damn about.
Zhuke doesn't care about the reactions of major Hollywood movies at all. Today, Zhuke has the confidence to say this.
Today, it is very difficult for Zhuke, who is like a light, to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger and keep a low profile. Since that is the case, Zhuke simply throws away these cloaks and deals with the problem openly.
Chapter completed!
