Chapter 224 Revisiting DreamWorks Animation (4/5)
After the meeting, Zhang Junsheng, Wan Ziren and Chris made an appointment to go to the golf course...
Wen Ziren looked at Zhang Junsheng with a strange look all the way. Needless to say, there must be nothing good!
Zhang Junsheng didn't want to pay attention to him, but in the end, the son of the plane couldn't hold it in: "What do you want to say?"
"Are you a mature woman?"
“…No, I’m a beauty controller!”
"Tsk tsk..."
Chris hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Chasing gossip is always a man’s nature!
Wen Ziren tells vividly: "Last night, there were many beauties, including Carolina Kokuva, Erin Heatherton, Emma Watson, Rosie Handington Whitley, and Amber Heard. They are all beautiful girls. Guess who our Mr. Zhang chose to spend the night with?"
“…Emma Watsonter?”
"no!"
"Rosie Handington Whitley... She seems to be having a hot fight with Jason Statham... Then Amber Hilder!"
"Haha...he chose to get along with Jennifer Aniston!"
"Tsk tsk..."
Harris would like to ask if you have an Oedipus complex?
I didn't dare to ask, after all, Zhang Junsheng is his boss!
After a long time, Zhang Junsheng spoke quietly: "...I said I'm drunk too much, do you believe it?"
"hehe…"
Haha, you are paralyzed, what's wrong with Jennifer Aniston? After all, he is the 'the sexyest woman in the world'...
You are jealous!
My idol, Crayon Shin-chan, is 15 years older than him!
Zhang Junsheng always believes that Xiaoxin will get Nanazi!
However, Zhang Junsheng learned the Taoist scriptures after all, and knew that this kind of thing could not be done often. "Jianhu Seven Collections" says: A woman who replenishes yang and blood, beautifies color, pleases the spirit, and acts calmly, and can become an earthly immortal. From the 25th to the 35th, I will give her love to her, even if she has no benefits or great losses. After 40th, she can cause illness. If Tiangui is gone, it will be like a dead branch absorbs water, and it will not be a ghost, but will kill her body...
Therefore, he has always avoided having sex with women over forty years old and killing himself!
Sister Yu is not listed here, she devotes her wholeheartedly to death until she dies...
...
On the court, Zhang Junsheng skillfully pushed the golf ball ten feet away from the hole into the hole, and entered the hole in one shot...
"Oh, you have made a lot of progress in your technology!"
Jeffrey Carsonberg was a little surprised.
Zhang Junsheng was a little proud and explained: "Of course, I often train in China!"
Golf social interaction has become more and more common in recent years. Even in the country, Zhang Junsheng often swings one or two shots...
It's really playing basketball, not the kind of house with one ball...
I never understand what to be excited about stuffing a golf ball into that thing...
"The global box office of "Kung Fu Panda 2" should be 800 million, right?"
"…Almost, to be honest, I didn't expect the box office in China to be so high!"
"Kung Fu Panda 2" has reached 600 million in mainland China. Conservatively estimated that it can have at least 700 million box office, which is converted into US dollars, and is infinitely close to 100 million...
In the entire Greater China region, the box office of "Kung Fu Panda 2" has long exceeded 100 million US dollars, the box office of North America is 260 million US dollars, and the global box office is more than 600 million US dollars. It is a normal prediction to have more than 20 days left before the downgrade, exceeding 800 million US dollars.
"Dreamworks hasn't seen a globally thrilling anime movie for a long time!"
Zhang Junsheng didn't know what to say.
As the ending chapter of "Shrek Monster", "Monster Shrek" had a box office of only US$130 million in North America, and the global box office also hit a new low in series, with less than US$700 million...
Not to mention the second movie that sold $920 million worldwide, it is a big gap with the third movie that was $799 million!
"Now we can only develop new projects!"
Jeffrey Carsonberg seemed to ask casually: "How much is the periphery of "Kung Fu Panda 2" sold?"
"…The series should have $2.5 billion so far. This aspect has been managed by Disney. We are only responsible for projects in the mainland!"
“…How much is sold around the Chinese region?”
"There are less than 100 million US dollars, and the surrounding areas of China have just been developed, so it is difficult to sell at a sky-high price... However, the future is very bright, after all, we have a population of 1.3 billion!"
"I want to hand over the Chinese agency rights of DreamWorks to you!"
“…Water?”
Jeffrey Carsonberg held up his glasses: "Dreamworks' capital chain is a little tight now, so I want to take advantage of the peripheral agent. As you said, China's market is very large, but unfortunately, I don't have the energy to develop..."
"…Jeffrey, do you know the highest box office in DreamWorks animation in China?"
Before Jeffrey could speak, Zhang Junsheng said: "It's "Monster Shrek 4", which is less than 90 million yuan. After "Madagascar 2" was released in mainland China, it only won a box office of 37.95 million yuan... Let's put it this way, DreamWorks does not have the influence you imagined in China!"
Losing "Kung Fu Panda", DreamWorks' influence in China is far less than before. At present, the most box office anime movie in mainland China, besides the "Kung Fu Panda" series, Blue Sky Studio's "Ice Age 3", won 160 million yuan...
“…So, what do you mean?”
"Jeffrey, you know what I think. I always respect you and DreamWorks!"
"…You still want to acquire DreamWorks?"
"right!"
...
DreamWorks is not the kind of pussy that Pierce, basically the product of Pixar represents a big sale!
Toy Story 3 is the end of the Toy Story series, and sold $1 billion worldwide...
Crushing "Monster Shrek 4"…
And they are better at producing single-episode works, "Flying House Travel" is $790 million worldwide...
They insist on releasing one movie a year. Anyway, they rely on Daddy Di, so they can only do it with peace of mind, and don’t have to worry about the surroundings and releases...
DreamWorks Animation is different. Jeffrey Carsonberg must ensure both quality and peripherals. For the actual situation of the company, sequels with revenue guarantees must be given priority.
The money tree of "Monster Shrek" has fallen, and we will definitely develop a new project...
Where is the money?
Jeffrey Carsonberg has always wanted to build DreamWorks into a brand that is not inferior to Disney!
In fact, the animation produced by DreamWorks does have this potential...
After all, it does have a high-quality IP!
However, fully developing the commercial value of these animation images requires a huge organization to understand the toy industry, game industry, park operation methods, etc. This is not something that a company that has been founded in DreamWorks Animation for more than 20 years can do.
In order to survive, DreamWorks still needs to keep making movies and selling movies.
It is more of a content maker, and most of its revenue comes from the movie box office itself.
This is also its biggest weakness.
The animation production cycle itself is long and the cost is high, and DreamWorks animation will rely too much on the success or failure of a movie.
So in order to become the next Disney, DreamWorks Animation needs a stable backer that can help them resist the risks of animated movies, and at the same time they have the ability to help them develop the commercial value of animation images.
In fact, there are many companies in Hollywood who want to acquire DreamWorks. Japan's SoftBank Group and the United States' Hasbro have even announced the acquisition of DreamWorks for $3.7 billion and $3.4 billion. The problem is that Jeffrey Carsonberg himself hopes to maintain control over DreamWorks animation!
In other words, although you bought me, you can't have me completely...
Who will do this?
Chapter completed!
