mds(Midas) Pictures.

It is a film company focusing on film production, distribution and DVD distribution. It is located in the Burbank area, just one street away from the Wald Pictures Building.

"Mr. Brandon Midas, our Kingshuguang Group is here with sincerity."

Taro Hashimoto looked at the sad man in front of him seriously.

Brandon Midas is 27 years old and is the second-generation successor of MDS Pictures. Five years ago, he took over MDS Pictures from his father. He just left school and is ambitious and intends to carry forward the MDS Pictures that his father left to him.

But!

However, his heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper.

He messed up several major projects in succession, causing mds Pictures to suffer heavy losses.

"Mr. Hashimoto, please let me think about it again. After all, the film library of mds films is my father's efforts for many years." Brandon said in a deep voice.

"I understand you!"

Taro Hashimoto said: "But the bank will never understand you and your company. If you don't sell the film library, will you just sell the company? This is to sorry for your father in heaven."

For a moment, Brandon fell silent.

The pressure from the bank really made him breathless.

In these days, anywhere in the world, if you owe money from banks, then those damn banks will definitely chase you.

Of course, the premise is that your company is in a downturn.

Otherwise, facing those big companies with good development, those banks want you to borrow more money, or even beg you to borrow money.

a long time.

Brandon said, "Mr. Hashimoto, in addition to the film library, we also have movie distribution channels. Our company is sold to your company as a whole. I wonder if it is okay?"

Total for sale?

hehe!

Wald Pictures now has no shortage of distribution channels, well, at least it is not short of distribution channels in the United States!

"Mr. Brandon, you should know that for your mds film industry, we are only interested in the copyright of 65 movies in the mds film library. As for the others, please forgive me for being helpless." Taro Hashimoto said bluntly.

“……”

Brandon was silent again.

Two days later.

Brandon, who received multiple bank calls for a loan, finally compromised.

In desperation, he had to sell his own film company's film library.

Taro Hashimoto paid $2.8 million to take ownership of 65 movies in MDS Pictures.

In the following days, Taro Hashimoto led his team to visit second- and third-tier film companies in Hollywood, seeking to purchase the copyrights of their films in their film library and enrich Wald Pictures' film library.

What?

Why don’t you go to the top six Hollywoods?

hehe!

The six major Hollywoods are rich and powerful, and they are not short of that little money. Besides, behind them are large media groups, with their own TV platforms, family entertainment departments, and even Disney and Universal, as well as entertainment cities.

They can maximize their use of a massive film copyright library.

Every year, those film libraries can steadily bring them tens of millions of dollars in profits. How can they sell them?

Therefore, if Taro Hashimoto wants to collect the copyrights of those movies, he can only seek second- and third-tier film companies.

Of course, stores that provide DVD rental services are also one of the important goals.

Blockbuster Group is the largest sales chain of DVD and videotape rental and sales services in the United States. At its peak, it had 9,000 stores across the United States, with more than 60,000 employees and a market value of more than 30 billion US dollars;

Of course, it is impossible for the entire United States to be the only chain that provides DVD and video tape rental and sales.

In the United States, there are also many DVD and video chain stores.

But now, Blockbuster is the dominant one, and other companies are trembling and overwhelmed. Those who go bankrupt, those who go bankrupt, and those who go bankrupt, and those who go bankrupt, and those who go bankrupt, and those who go bankrupt, and those who go bankrupt, and other stores cuts happen every day.

However, you can't underestimate them.

The lean camel is bigger than a horse, and they have a lot of copyright and ownership of the movie.

.........

As of the end of January, Taro Hashimoto and his team have collected copyrights and ownership of up to 1,400 movies.

"Boss, the number of movies in our library is currently ranked 8th even if we look at all Hollywood film companies, after Hollywood's Big Six and MGM." Hashimoto Taro reported.

Zhuke nodded with satisfaction.

However, Zhuke is a little sorry.

"The copyrights of these 1,400 movies are indeed quite large, but the quality is really a headache!" Zhu Ke said with a smile.

Taro Hashimoto: "Boss, the copyright of those excellent movies is in the hands of big companies. Well, there is also Blockbuster, so we can not do much."

"Well, I know you've tried your best."

Zhuke had nothing to say.

If the quality is not good, let’s make up for the quantity.

The copyright of an excellent movie may be worth tens of millions of dollars;

The copyright of a inferior movie can be handled with only a few hundred thousand dollars. Of course, even lower, you can get it with a few thousand dollars.

The most expensive ones are dying;

No one wants to pick up cheap ones for free;

"fine!"

Zhukronran said: "It doesn't matter if the copyright of those junk movies is not profitable. At least it enriches our film library. In addition, we can double the profit from Sony and Toshiba's DVD manufacturers in the future."

Zhuke didn't feel at all guilty.

You know, the more you go, the more valuable the copyright of the movie will be!

Especially after 2010, when the Internet online video and streaming websites emerged, even the copyright of spam movies could also bring generous returns to the company.

Zhu Koukuo will never do a loss-making business!

"By the way, how much has it cost in total now?" Zhuke asked.

"Boss, I have spent a total of 60 million US dollars at present. It's not that I don't want to spend $100 million, but many movies are too ordinary and have no desirable value at all." Hashimoto Taro smiled bitterly.

“Hahaha~!”

Zhu Ke waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just spend money and spend the 100 million US dollars. No matter how rubbish the copyright of the movie, there are times when you make money. Let's go and do it boldly~"

“Yes, boss.”

As Zhuke said, the copyright of these junk movies will also bring extremely generous rewards to Zhuke in the future.

It can be said to be a big profit.

.........

At the same time.

Paramount Pictures.

ceo Shirley Lansing looked at Jordan and asked, "You said, the Jin Shuguang Group is collecting film copyrights in a large number, what is their purpose?"

Upon hearing this, Jordan shook his head.

"Boss, in theory, they collect copyrights from major and medium-sized companies in Hollywood, with the intention of enriching the film library, which is understandable for the not-so-established Wald Pictures."

"but!"

"It's strange that they don't care about meat and vegetables."

"Whether it is the copyright of excellent movies or the copyright of those junk movies, they don't let it go, which makes me wonder."

"After all, the copyright of those junk movies is completely useless."

Jordan said in a deep voice: "What a cunning guy, Juke Wald, that guy, is. Logically, he should know that the copyrights of those trash movies are useless. But now I really don't understand."

Shirley Lansing was also extremely puzzled at this moment.

"Yeah~~"

Shirley Lansing pondered: "So, don't you care about him for now. Didn't you say that Wald Pictures has two new movies to be released? You can pay more attention to it in the near future."

"Okay, boss."

Although the cooperation between Paramount and Wald Pictures has ended, Paramount is still stubborn about Wald Pictures and wants to acquire it one day.
