Pixar Animation Studio.

"Boss, all the information you want is here." John Lasseter handed a stack of documents to Jobs behind the desk.

Shortly after Jobs took over the document, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the lenses that reflected the glasses also shone.

"Hmph~!"

Jobs snorted coldly: "Juke Wald, this little bastard, has really made a name for himself in Hollywood!"

Lassei sighed, "Yes, no one would have thought that a year ago he was a little bastard who planned the copyright of our movie, but now he is enough to be a well-known producer in Hollywood."

"Run Lola" has more than $100 million in global box office;

Although "Hard Fruit Candy" has a box office of only a few million dollars, it has won a good reputation as a niche movie;

"The Deadly Behind" has a box office of more than $32 million in North America and a box office of more than $40 million in overseas box office;

"Juno" is even more amazing and caused a sensation as soon as it was released.

Currently, the movie "Juno" has won the box office championship in North America in a single day, with a box office of 29 million on the first day; in addition, in the first weekend just past, the film also won the box office championship in the three-day weekend!

In the first three days of the first weekend, the cumulative box office reached more than 63 million US dollars.

"John, pay more attention to Zhuke in the near future. Tell me immediately if there is any situation." Jobs put down the document in his hand.

Lasser nodded: "I understand, I will pay more attention to the situation of Wald Pictures in the near future."

Hearing this, Jobs said in a deep voice: "It's not just Wald Pictures, but also that icq!"

icq?

Lasseter frowned in confusion.

"Not bad, it's icq!"

Jobs solemnly said: "When I watched the movie on the premiere, I felt that I was creative in icq and it would definitely cause a wave of trends, but I never expected that in just less than three days, its registered users in North America would have exceeded 500,000."

"So awesome?!"

Even though Lasset had seen many big scenes, he was shocked at this moment.

You should know that in 1996, the number of people using the Internet in North America was about 50 million. Now, only three days after IICQ was launched, its cumulative number of registered users reached one percent of the total number. How can Lasset not be shocked in this case?

.........

Paramount Pictures Group.

"Boss, have you seen the box office figures last weekend?"

Juke's old friend Jordan stared at the middle-aged woman sitting behind the desk with a bright look full of respect.

"Well, I just finished watching it, and the box office champion last weekend had a total of more than $63 million. I have to say that Wald Pictures is a young, dynamic and highly promising film company. If it is right, we can acquire it."

The middle-aged woman who talks is Jordan's superior.

Her name is Shirley Lansing!

She is the CEO of Paramount Pictures Group, one of the six major Hollywood film groups, and is also the first woman to lead the six major film groups in Hollywood history. In the future, the annual "Hollywood Women's Rights List" will specially set up the "Sherry Lansing Leadership Award" named after her.

Her abilities can be seen.

"Boss, do you mean to enter the acquisition negotiation stage directly, or to participate in the previous stock?" Jordan asked.

Shirley Lansing pondered: "Let's get involved first to let him feel our Paramount's sincerity. Haha, after all, he needs our Paramount's strong overseas promotion and distribution capabilities."

"I see."

Jordan nodded heavily.

Of course he understood!

The so-called sincerity and participation are nothing more than binding you in advance, so that while you taste the sweetness in the early stage, you will become more and more inseparable from large companies, and you will be eroded step by step, and you will inevitably be acquired in the end!

for example:

The second-tier film company Miramax, whose majority of its equity belongs to Disney;

Searchlight Entertainment belongs to the 20th Century Fox;

New Line Film Company belongs to Time Warner;

Touchstone Film Company, also belongs to Disney;

etc.......

Many second-tier film companies in Hollywood were eventually recruited by large companies through various means.

As for the so-called first participation, it is also a joke!

It's just a gentler method.

It’s like DreamWorks animation, isn’t it just the sweetness thrown out by Paramount and got hooked away!

.........

Warner Film Group.

Barry Meyer, who was then the chairman of Warner Film Group, a subsidiary of Time Warner Group, looked at the report in surprise.

I have to say that he was a little surprised at this moment.

However, a tall black man opposite him was a little unhappy, and his dissatisfied expression was completely revealed on his face.

Well, he is the old NBA rogue Jordan!

"Damn it~!"

Jordan said angrily: "Where did this Wald Pictures come out? It ruined my movie "Space Dunk" and even snatched away my weekend box office champion!"

Although he is the god of basketball, he is also a person, not to mention that he has a bad temper.

Now that the movie he starred in has been suppressed, how can he accept it as proud as him?

Barry Mayer said in a deep voice: "Michael, calm down."

"calm?"

Jordan kept rapping again: "Are you kidding? I was defeated by a high school girl who was pregnant before marriage. Don't you allow me to complain a few times?"

At this moment, Jordan was extremely upset.

In fact, Barry Mayer doesn't like to reason with outsiders in the circle, but facing Jordan, who is known as the "Flying Man", he cannot remain silent, and he must respond.

"Michael, don't worry."

Barry Meyer calmly said: "Winning first does not necessarily mean winning to the end. Don't forget that we are the Warner Film Group! In North America, we have a great influence on theaters and media and newspapers. Just put a little pressure on the opponent can collapse~!"

"oh?"

Upon hearing this, Jordan's eyes lit up immediately.

However, he thought of something and hesitated again: "Will it be bad to use external tricks?"

Haha~~

Barry Meyer immediately laughed.

"Man, this is not an outside move. It is our conventional means, that is, to use all the means that can be used to achieve our goals."

Not long after, he personally instructed his subordinates to contact the theaters and exert influence in order to help them reduce the schedule of "Juno".

As for the media and newspapers?

Haha~!

Warner, one of the top six in Hollywood, is a subsidiary of the giant media group Time Warner. In North America, even News Corp., it is not as powerful as them in terms of influence.
