At the end of June.

Jinshuguang Entertainment Group held the group's second executive meeting in the middle of the year.

The core of this conference is still the issue of the preparation and construction of overseas distribution channels for movies.

"First of all, we need to clarify the fact that our cooperation with Paramount on overseas releases of the movie is over~!"

"No more!"

"I would like to tell you one thing, we do not rule out that we will cooperate with other Hollywood film companies in the future, but in terms of overseas distribution, we, Wald Pictures, must build a film distribution channel outside the United States, which is not negotiable!"

"We must have the issuance channels in the four major states of South America, Europe, Australia and Asia!"

At the beginning of the meeting, Zucker showed a very strong side rarely, cutting off some executives' idea of ​​rebuilding the old with Paramount.

The strong Zhu Ke made a suffocate number of group executives on the scene feel a little suffocated.

There are still many executives who have fantasies about Paramount's cooperation in releasing overseas movies.

First of all, following the six major Hollywood posts, you can put aside the problem of distribution and make all your efforts to make movies, which is enough to ensure the company's high profits every year;

Secondly, countless people will naturally lower their heads when they see the six major Hollywoods.

Because the six major Hollywood companies are really too powerful and too strong!

Looking at Hollywood's development in the past 20 years, there have been too many companies rising. I want to challenge the six major positions, but the consequences?

Either it is acquired or turned into dust of history!

Even the most powerful DreamWorks are now suppressed by the six major players and breathless!

"Everyone, please remember that I am not a Don Gilleshode-style challenger, I am a rich man, a very rich man!"

Zhuke glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice: "Victor, you are a group CEO, please express your opinion."

Victor?

For a moment, everyone present focused their eyes on ceo Victor.

Kevin Feige was calm;

Bill McNick held his chest with his hands, interested;

Donna Lang Lei has no expression on his face;

Taro Hashimoto's eyes were unbounced;

Domino's eyes shine;

A group of executives showed their various styles. As the first person under Zhuke, Victor had such influence, otherwise why would he be able to get the option reward in the coming year?

"I support Boss' decision to terminate the follow-up cooperation with Paramount on overseas film releases!"

Victor ignored the fear of many people and immediately said: "On this issue, I have a set of data here, I want to show you."

【1996, the movie "Running Lola"】

North American box office: $14.9 million;

Overseas box office: $115 million;

Wald Pictures sold the film's overseas copyright to Paramount for $2 million.

As of June 1998.

For the movie "Running Roll", Wald Pictures' total profit in box office, offline market, peripheral licensing and other channels was US$9.2 million;

In contrast, Paramount Pictures, in just over two years, the related revenue of the "Rola Run" movie has brought it at least US$45 million to US$55 million in profits.

In other words, in terms of "Running Roll", Wald Pictures' profit was only a fraction of Paramount.

Completely reduced to a worker!

For a moment, even the group executives who were prepared were very ugly at the moment.

"The Deadly Bend" series, "Human Clear Lake Project 1", "Memory Fragments", "Juno", "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" complete six films...

A group of related data is constantly presented to everyone.

"Do you know, everyone?"

"Paramon made at least $300 million in terms of various overseas channels' revenues!"

"Especially "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" has achieved a box office of more than 600 million US dollars in the global market. The final revenue of the movies we have invested countless manpower, material resources and financial resources is almost as good as that of Paramount, an overseas publisher."

"Does we still need to continue this kind of exploitation and blood-sucking cooperation?"

Victor looked around and said in a deep voice: "Remember, we are not the touchstones, the film companies of Dimen and Lion Gate, our chairman, Mr. Juke Wald, is a super rich man with a net worth of over 2 billion US dollars. He has the ability and financial resources to make us stronger."

Ms. Donna nodded: "I agree with the decisions of boss and Mr. Jones."

Old Bill: "There is nothing to say. Since the boss is rich, then we have nothing to worry about and support!"

Kevin Feige: "Our cooperation with the Carlos Foundation, the self-established Mexican distribution channels, and the layout in South America are currently generally good, so markets such as Europe cannot be spared."

Domino: "I am responsible for the music field, but the expansion of the company's film business will inevitably play a good role in promoting the music sector. I have no reason to object."

Taro Hashimoto: "Under the current global market situation, channels are still an indispensable and important component, and I agree with the boss's decision."

.........

The successive statements of the head of the subsidiary directly made Zhuke's decision an irresistible reality.

In fact, the results of this meeting’s statement are not very important!

Because Zucker has decided.!

However, the support of the executives and heads of subsidiaries will allow those fantasy and fencers to be driven onto the express train and work hard with the company to exert greater efficiency.

At the same time, judging from the data reports provided by CEO Victor, Paramount did make great profits, but Victor "actively" ignored a fact.

"With Paramount's strong overseas distribution capabilities, those movies cannot achieve such a high box office!"

Victor took the initiative to ignore it;

Zhu Ke and others also took the initiative to ignore it!

Because, this meeting was not a "deliberation" meeting at all, but a meeting that clarified the facts to all executives and gave everyone confidence.

"I just want to work alone and don't cooperate with Paramount!"

This is the key.

Moreover, at the meeting, Zhu Ke waved his hand and set his goal first.

Abbreviation: European Strategy!

.........

July 3.

During the 1998 World Cup in France, Bill McNick, as a representative of the Kingshuguang Entertainment Group, went to Europe in person to discuss certain cooperation with the senior executives of the UEFA Committee.

"One Goal to Fame"!

"Mr. McNick, is your company going to obtain the authorization of our UEFA to start filming this "One Goal"?" UEFA President Gayhard Egner frowned.

(Note: Before 1999, the UEFA President was called General Secretary, so the name after 1999 was directly adopted here.)

"Yes."

Old Bill said solemnly: "We asked you what you mean by UEFA in the first stop, and the second stop was to cooperate with FIFA, striving to create a, or even a series of football movies. We can make a profit, and your side can expand its influence. This is a win-win behavior."

Apart from the first box office, the other two are not good, but their influence is world-renowned.

You may not have watched the movie "One Goal" but you must have heard of it.

This is an important entry point for Wald Pictures and Kingshuguang Entertainment Group to expand its influence in Europe.
Chapter completed!
