Chapter 28 Always Have a Dream (6/6)

Tian Xiaopeng is the head of Yuehua Animation Department. Zhang Junsheng asked him to come to North America, so of course he had business.

"Kung Fu Panda 2" is still being produced, and Tian Xiaopeng has planned an animation project himself, called "The Return of the Great Sage", which is also derived from "The Great Trouble in the Heavenly Palace"...

Anyway, he is very busy...

The animation department has newly joined the Pleasant Goat team, which generated more than 100 million revenue last year, which is very exciting...

Is this kind of low-end animation so profitable?

"I know that Chris Melledandley you mentioned, "Ice Age" and "The Simpsons" are all his leading works!"

"...I hold half of his company. This time I come to promote Tingfeng Entertainment to acquire his company!"

"…You're very optimistic about him?"

"Nonsense, don't be optimistic, will I spend money to play?"

Eighty million US dollars, forty percent of the shares, the son of the plane is rich, but he is not a waste of money...

Tian Xiaopeng thought about it seriously: "It's very difficult!"

“…Yes, it’s very difficult!”

Dingfeng Entertainment's distribution capabilities can only ensure that 2,000 theaters can be opened, but the six major Hollywood companies can start at 3,000...

They have a complete distribution chain...

"But there is no chance!" Zhang Junsheng smiled: "The reason he was able to leave Fox is mainly because Fox is too greedy. If my conditions for driving are high enough, he would not be able to refuse!"

“…But, is Chris Melledandley really worth our investment?”

Zhang Junsheng was even more confused, so Tian Xiaopeng explained: "Didn't you always want to acquire DreamWorks?"

"…You can see this..."

Touching his nose, Zhang Junsheng said: "Dreamworks' market value is too high, and Jeffrey Carsonberg is an idealist, so I probably don't play with him..."

...

Who is Jeffrey Carsonberg?

The leader of DreamWorks animation!

His peak record was not "Shrek Monster", but "The Lion King"!

"The Lion King", the pinnacle of 2D anime, with a global box office of US$980 million!

It was 1994!

Then, Jerever Carsonberg was swept out by Walt Disney at the most glorious moment in his life.

In the field of animation film production, Jerever Carsonberg was a successful person, but in the internal power struggle of Disney, he was a complete loser.

The one who defeated him was Michael Eisner, who turned Disney from a studio into a giant media company.

Since leaving Walt Disney, Jerever Carsonberg's biggest wish is to put Disney animation under his feet in the field of animation film production.

This wish will probably never come true!

Because Disney acquired Pixar!

Pixar, Disney's biggest competitor!

To be honest, if it weren't for money, Disney wouldn't have acquired Pixar...

It seems that if you can't beat your opponent, join him or absorb him is not Durant's first!

Many people predict that the future of Hollywood animation may be the only one!

Dreamworks animation is no longer as brave as it used to be...

After the fall of DreamWorks Group, the independent DreamWorks animation studio did not even have the ability to distribute in North America. This animation studio, which can rank among the top three in the Hollywood industry, can only exist as a pure producer. Even though its animation feature films that have received good responses, its revenue capabilities have always been poor due to the release reasons.

This is also the main reason why Jeffrey Carsonberg ended up selling DreamWorks animation to Universal...

Release issues!

There are also overseas sales issues...

This is an opportunity.

Tingfeng Entertainment now has complete North American distribution and overseas distribution capabilities, but it is quite immature. Before DreamWorks fall apart, if you can sign several film contracts in DreamWorks and show your strength, you may have the opportunity to become a merger and acquirer, and you can even invest in Jeffrey Carsonberg NewTV...

Compared to Netflix, New   is likely the most correct way to open streaming media...

I won't say this for the time being, after all, the idea of ​​the establishment of NewTV is a bit advanced...

...

Golf course…

Wen Shiren insisted that Zhang Junsheng meet with Chris Mellerdandeley at the golf club, saying that this is the norm in North America...

Alas, it's really an American!

In China, what does golf represent?

It represents HK$10 million!

Two represent a luxury house...

Zhang Junsheng posed for a meter away from the entrance of the hole, but after one shot, he failed to enter the hole...

It's not his fault, I'm used to entering the hole and not shooting...

A little embarrassed, Zhang Junsheng changed the topic: "...I don't know golf very much. Do you know Liuliuzhu?"

“…Liuliu?”

Wen Shiren shook his head.

"That's a sport for our Chinese children. It's quite fun... The rules are similar to golf, and you have to go into the hole..."

"Is that? What does it look like?"

"It's just a glass ball with a diameter of about one centimeter. We didn't have toys when we were kids..."

While chatting, Chris Mellerdandley came over.

He is a golf master, and he went straight into the hole with one shot...

With a break in the midfield, Zhang Junsheng said: "Tingfeng Entertainment has a complete North American and overseas distribution channel. Chris, I believe you should also know that Tingfeng won a box office of 500 million US dollars worldwide with a movie "Twilight"!"

"…But, the overseas copyright of Twilight was sold to Universal in packages."

Chris Mellerdandley certainly knew the purpose of Zhang Junsheng meeting him, and he didn't really want to bring lighting entertainment and give it to the top...

During this period, he is flirting with Global...

"That's for the second movie to be pre-sale. "Twilight 2" will be released next April. I'm sure the movie will not have bad results overseas!"

“…Let’s talk about it then!”

Chris obviously doesn't want to talk about the topic of merger.

"Chris, Lighting Entertainment must find a partner, and an independent animation production company does not have the ability to publish..."

“…I can find six majors!”

"Then are you going to share 60% of the profits to them?"

Capital is a vampire without conscience!

The six major Hollywood occupies the top of the pyramid, and their control over distribution is outrageous!

For example, DreamWorks.

DreamWorks has a small size and narrow channel, so they can only use large companies to promote and distribute. Even if they sell big movies, they don’t make much money. "Save Private Ryan" costs 70 million yuan and sold a box office of $500 million worldwide, but DreamWorks earned only $30 million.

Where did the money go?

All made money by the issuer...

Therefore, every time DreamWorks launches a work, it will be replaced by overseas publishers. It is useless. Although the six major internal competitions are the same as the outside world!

Chris Mellanderly obviously understood what Zhang Junsheng meant, hesitated for a moment, and the son of the plane struck while the iron was hot: "I can guarantee that after the merger of Dingfeng Entertainment and Ke Lighting Entertainment, operate separately and share the distribution..."

"The European distribution channel has been established, and Asia is handed over to me. What else do you have to hesitate about?"

Chris finally said his biggest concern: "I'm worried that you will withdraw funds to supplement the other side..."

"Haha... you can rest assured that Tingfeng Entertainment, lighting entertainment, and Lucas Cinema, I won't move!"

He could think of the money he had withdrawn...

Zhang Junsheng added: "I will not withdraw funds casually before I take over DreamWorks Animation!"

“…Water? Dreamworks Animation?”

Chris looked at Zhang Junsheng deeply, probably thinking that this person might be a bad person...

DreamWorks Animation is a listed company with a market value of about US$2.2 billion. Zhang Junsheng's North American industries combined, and the total amount is no more than 800 million...

"You have to have dreams..."

Zhang Junsheng smiled dismissively.

"Chris, you probably don't know. Mr. Zhang invested in Uber in June this year. Uber had just been established at that time. Now Uber's valuation has reached US$1.2 billion, and his investment has benefited five times!"

Tian Xiaopeng glanced at Chris Melledandley and spoke lightly.

“…”

Chris looked at Zhang Junsheng in surprise, and then asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Why did you give up the oil pipe?"
