Chapter 462 Buy a basketball team to play?

The next day.

Zach Bluff, a young man with a director's dream, was so excited that he never slept all night. He watched the time repeatedly and waited until 9 a.m., and his eyes were already scarlet, but he couldn't stop being excited, and finally called Kevin Feige.

"Hey~ Hello~ I'm Zach Bluff, are you Mr. Kevin Feige, the president of Wald Pictures?"

Bluff said to the phone, feeling uneasy.

"Yes, I'm Kevin Feige. Well, you're Zach Bluff?" A voice came from the phone, and it was Kevin Feige.

Bluff was excited: "Do you know me?"

Kevin Fitch on the other end of the phone nodded and said, "Yes. Last night, I had already received an email from Mr. Wald, saying that "Love Returns to New Jersey" by your screenwriter is not bad. If possible, you can send the script to my email address. After that, we will make an appointment to meet and have a meeting. How about it?"

"Okay, OK, thank you very much." Bluff nodded like pounding garlic.

Logically speaking, the script submission process has a fixed process and principle.

As the president of Wald Pictures, Kevin Feige rarely comes into contact with first-hand scripts.

The company's production department, screenwriter department, external public relations department... departments with certain functions will first review foreign scripts. After multiple reviews, layers of reviews, and several discussions, we can only go to Kevin Feige's desk.

When I get to Kevin Feige's desk, is it OK?

No!

Every day, the script submitted to Kevin Feige's desk has a more than 95% chance of being thrown into the warehouse and eating ashes.

There are only a very small number, a very small number of lucky scripts written by the scripts, with a very small probability, and they will be liked by Wald Pictures;

At the same time, among this small number of scripts, only a few scripts will be filmed into films!

Is it complicated?

It's indeed very cumbersome and cruel!

But it won’t work without deleting and selecting it all!

As the sixth largest existence in Hollywood today, Wald Pictures receives dozens of foreign scripts every day, and sometimes it can receive hundreds of scripts in a day.

The quality can be said to be uneven!

Moreover, most scripts have no possibility of filming becoming a complete film, and the issue of profit must be considered.

Please, Wald Pictures is a commercial organization, not a charity!

"marvelous!"

"I can only do what I can!"

"Walder Pictures receives so many scripts every day, and the review time alone can make many screenwriters desperate, and I can actually get the favor of Mr. Wald, which is simply wonderful!"

Bluff has reason to be excited. Just by being able to directly contact Kevin Feige, countless screenwriters can envy and hate.

...........

Baltimore.

It is the largest city in Maryland, America and an important harbor city along the Atlantic coast. It is only more than 60 kilometers away from Washington, the capital of the United States. At the same time, it is also the birthplace of the American national anthem.

At this moment, a huge Boeing 767 plane landed here at Baltimore International Airport, attracting the attention of many people.

"Hey~ This is a private plane!"

A new ground crew member exclaimed.

"Lope, don't yell. You are still too young to know that this is the famous "Lola" private jet. It is the air car of Mr. Juke Wald, a well-known American rich man." A senior ground crew member smiled.

He knew that Zucker's private jet would land at Baltimore International Airport today a few days ago.

The "Rolla" is Zucker's air car. Its name comes from the movie "Rolla Run".

The first film that Zucker filmed after entering Hollywood, the name "Rolla" represents the start of Zucker's entertainment industry and has very important memorial significance.

"Boss, your itinerary today is to visit Under Armour Sports Products. Well, to be precise, you're going to stay in Baltimore for three days," said Bachel Liszt, one of the think tank members.

Just finished speaking.

Before Zucker could respond, Alexander, the chief assistant who arrived in Baltimore overnight, also said: "Boss, you can only stay in Baltimore for three days at most. After all, you still have multiple companies to inspect next."

Dafeng Capital, Roskey Real Estate, California Standard Bank......

These companies are industries independent of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group. As the director of the Presidential Office and chief assistant to the chairman, Alexander naturally has no right to interfere or interfere.

But!

If you mention Under Armour Sports Goods Company, then as Zhuke's chief assistant, he has no choice but to do so.

For this reason, he flew to Baltimore overnight!

.........

"Hi, Juke!"

"Hi Kevin!"

As soon as he arrived at Under Armour Sports Goods Company, Kevin Planck, the founder and president of Under Armour, gave Zucker a big hug.

"Mr. Planck, the conference room is ready." The secretary reminded.

Planck nodded, looked at Zhuke and said, "Zuke, since the conference room is ready, let's talk about work first?"

"Yes, work is important! I'm here to witness the development of Under Armour's company!" Zucker waved his hand.

Not long.

Everyone sat in the conference room, and Alexander was responsible for the meeting minutes.

Under Armour Sports Goods Company, founded by former football star Kevin Planck in 1996, is committed to building a better and more advanced sports goods company, and it will also become an influential sports brand in the future.

In 1998, Zucker acquired more than 70% of Under Armour's equity for a price of US$4.5 million.

In 1999 and 2000, for two consecutive years, Zucker added several additional investments and owned 91% of Under Armour's equity in one fell swoop, turning it into a subsidiary of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group.

Founder Kevin Planck, although the Under Armour shares held by him are now only in single digits, he is still very satisfied.

After having the big backer of Zucker, Under Armour Sports Goods Company, it has been doing well in recent years.

"As of now, magazines such as Fortune, Finance, and professional investment firms such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan have given us the estimated value of Under Armour up to $100 million."

"We are proud to have developed to this stage in just a few years!"

"At the same time, based on the development of rugby supplies, we officially started sports products for basketball, football and other sports events in mid-2000. In the future, we have not yet relied on the advantages of sports brands to create sweatshirts, ordinary T-shirts, sports pants..."

"We have also started to build direct stores in major cities such as Baltimore, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Salt Lake City since the end of 1999. It is expected that by the end of 2001, the number of direct stores alone will reach 30; the number of franchise stores will reach 100."

...........

When Zhu Ke heard these data, he couldn't help but smile.

Under Armour Sports Products Company, from a pure rugby supply provider to a designer and supplier of many sports products involving rugby, football, basketball, tennis and other sports products, is definitely a huge improvement.

Sweatshirts, regular T-shirts, sweatpants, shoes...

These common clothes are the growth points for Under Armour's future profits!

Zucker looked at Planck and asked: "Kevin, in terms of football, I have a Manchester City club in the UK. So if I buy an NBA basketball team, will it bring better benefits to the company?"

"Buy a NBA basketball team?!"

Planck looked at Zhuke in horror and swallowed, "Man, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Too unbelievable!

Zhuke smiled and said, "Kevin, I just made $1.3 billion in the Japanese financial market a few days ago. Don't you know? It's very easy to buy an NBA basketball team!"

Planck: "......"

Don't know!

Yesterday, he was hospitalized in the hospital. There was no way, the old problems left by him when he was an athlete.

Zhuke's Dafeng Capital, which is owned by Zhuke, is garnering $1.3 billion a day, he really doesn't know!

"Damn, are rich people so wild in their paths?!"
