Chapter 619 Amazing licensing fee

DreamWorks is indeed going crazy.

After several consecutive days, Spielberg, the three dreamwork giants, Jeffrey Carsonberg, and David Geffen, all their jealous eyes turned red.

A month ago, DreamWorks' new work "Villain Storm" was released. In order to make the movie high box office and to make it a bleak North American film market, DreamWorks has made great efforts.

Massive amount of publicity and distribution funds were spent;

Giving a lot of favors;

Even the great director Spielberg didn't want to look at him and he pleased the film critics and the media without any bottom line.

But what is the result?

"Villain Storm" movie suffered a lot!

DreamWorks has completely lost the opportunity to list the US stock market in 2001!

"We failed, but... they succeeded?!"

Spielberg gritted his teeth and said, "Look at what the media are talking about recently? The savior of the Hollywood film market, the only two listed animation companies in the United States, ranks 1st and 3rd film companies in the United States, Oh no, the ranking of Water World Animation is no longer the third place, but the second place, the ranking taken from us."

The words fell.

Jeffrey Carsonberg's face was very ugly.

Once upon a time, he was the head of Disney animation department and the top leader. However, later, he was swept out by Michael Eisner, known as the "Disney Tyrant". Since then, he has vowed that he will definitely take revenge.

He worked hard ~

He successfully made DreamWorks Animation a star in the global animation market!

Especially the emergence of "Shrek Monster" in early 2000 made Jeffrey Carsonberg highly recognized by the market, and the media also praised him.

But, what about now?

In a time when the film market is in bleak, Water World Animation's "Flying House Global" and Pixar Animation's "Monster Electric Power Company" ignited the market's popularity and reputation as soon as it was released, and the box office growth remained high.

"Now in the eyes of the media and the public, there are only Water World Animation and Pixar Animation. Where is DreamWorks animation?"

Katsenberg's deep unwillingness almost overflowed.

David Geffen, one of the three giants, comforted him: "We just need to be ourselves."

"madness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Spielberg scolded without hesitation: "The market cake is so big, and there are so many divisions between Water World and Pixar. Where can we have our place?"

"you......"

David Geffen glared at Spielberg.

He didn't expect Spielberg to be so disrespectful to him. You must know that he is also one of the company's major shareholders.

I don’t want to be faced!

There is no doubt that the gap between the three DreamWorks has deepened again.

To be honest, the conflict and disagreement in words are just an introduction. The key is that DreamWorks is not having a good time now and when interests are damaged, various gaps will naturally occur.

At the same time...

Blue Sky Studio.

As a subsidiary of 20th Century Fox Film, one of the top six Hollywoods, it has been focused on the production of animation films since it was acquired.

Although it only has a short animated short film that is just a few minutes away? But after they obtained sufficient funds, the animated film "Ice Age" they are currently producing has given them enough confidence.

"What?!"

"Say it again!!!"

At this moment? As the founder of Blue Sky Studio, Chris Wedge, how could he look calm? He was so surprised.

Carlos Shaldanha said in a deep voice: "The news is true, I just learned it."

Hearing this? Chris Wedge's face was filled with shock.

Why?

Because not long ago? To be precise, 20 minutes ago, Water World Animation and Pixar Animation announced their respective major news almost one after another.

The movie "Flying House Global" sold the authorization amount in the surrounding 50 states across the United States? It is as high as US$140 million;

This result?                                                                                                                              

The last work of Water World Animation, "Find Nemo", has a licensing fee for surrounding 50 states across the United States, but it is almost more than $50 million.

Below the average of DreamWorks animation;

It's far lower than Pixar animation!

But this time, the periphery authorizations in 50 states across the United States alone reached $140 million?    It really stunned many people.

"This, this?   This... is so incredible!"

"There is US$140 million in the surrounding area near the United States. If it is converted into countries and regions around the world? Wouldn't they make a profit?!"

At this moment, Chris Wedge, the founder of Blue Sky Studio, really had her eyes red?   The redness is red.

Carlos Schaldanha, also founder and one of the directors of "Ice Ages", said in a faint tone: "Man? If you listen to Pixar's "Monster Electric Company", you will be even more breathless."

“…”

Chris Wedge's eyes showed surprise.

Carlos said quietly: "Five minutes after the announcement of the news in Water World Animation, Pixar announced that the "Monster Electric Power" animated film has a perimeter authorization amount of up to $142 million in 50 states across the United States."

The words fell.

Chris Wedge stopped talking because at this moment he had separated the walls.

The American film market under the influence of the 911 incident was completely shocked by Pixar animation in Water World animation!

As the saying goes: "The times create heroes!"

This is what the current Water World animation and Pixar animation are.

The movie box office explosion;

The company's stock price soared and its market value continued to rise;

The various peripheral licensing fees related to the movie have also broken through the sky!

Dongdongdongdongdong~~

At this time, Rupert Murdoch, one of the top six Hollywood 20th Century Fox Films and the owner of News Corporation, suddenly visited Blue Sky Studio in person.

"I won't say much extra words."

"I believe you have received the news."

"The animated film of "Ice Age" must be completed by the end of this year, and it must meet the audience as soon as possible."

Murdoch said coldly: "This market cannot be just Water World, Pixar, DreamWorks, it must have a Blue Sky Studio."

When he heard this, Chris Wedge and Carlos were shocked.

The two of them knew that Murdoch's patience was about to be worn out. After all, the achievements created by Water World and Pixar were really amazing!

Lighting entertainment.

Many people may not know the name of this animation company, but when it comes to the company's works "Miniu" and "Despicable Me", there are many people who know it.

That's right, Lighting Entertainment is the creator of "Miniolo".

However, because the company's founder Chris Mellandale and he played with Zhu Ke hard, the copyright of the Minions is very likely not to belong to Lighting Entertainment.

After all, Zhu Ke’s ability to plagiarize is amazing!

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk ~"

At this moment, Mellerdandley looked at the newspaper in shock and exclaimed: "That guy Juke Wald, after speculating on military stocks and grain and oil futures after the 9/11 incident, has made a lot of money again."

The assistant nodded and couldn't help but say, "Boss, in a few days it will be the day when Forbes' new year's annual wealth report is released. I guess he, Juke Wald, will be the top ten in the United States this time!"
Chapter completed!
