Shuguang Entertainment Group.

"Boss, this is an invitation from Sony Columbia Films." Alexander handed Zhuke an invitation.

Zhu Ke took it and was happy on the spot when he saw the invitation.

【The celebration reception of the movie "Black Hawk Down".】

Zhuke smiled and said, "I remember the movie "Black Hawk Down" was directed by Ridley Scott, right?"

"Yes, it's him."

Alexander nodded.

Zhuke waved the invitation letter in his hand and said, "If I remember correctly, the box office of this movie should be a crushing defeat. Columbia Pictures lost a lot of money. Just this, they even have to hold a celebration party?"

"Are you fooling around?"

The movie "Black Hawk Down" tells the story of the 1993 Somalia War. The US military engaged in a protracted street fighting with the Somalian armed militia due to intelligence errors. This team consists of Army Rangers, Delta troops, and some Navy SEALs, with a total of about 150 people. The small mission completed within one hour was unexpectedly attacked by local troops and turned into a 15-hour battle of trapped beasts.

Film production cost: $95 million;

Promotional and distribution expenses: more than US$30 million;

Director: Ridley Scott;

Ridley Scott is not a little director of Ahmao and Gou, but a well-known director. His representative works include "Blade Runner", "The End of the Road", "Gladiator", etc.

In the future, he will also direct and film "American Gangster", "Prometheus", "Martian Rescue"...

There is no doubt that he is one of the top directors in Hollywood.

Logically speaking, the war movie "Black Hawk Down" should have been a great success, but unexpectedly, it encountered the 911 incident...

You said, can this movie have a high box office?

Moreover, the movie is released on December 18!

Don’t forget that among the various movies released on December 19, "Lord of the Rings" exists.

"Black Hawk Down" encounters "Lord of the Rings", and it's almost time to die.

Producer Sony Colombia, a loss of blood!

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk ~"

Zhuke sneered: "That's it? Colombia also has the nerve to say that she will hold a celebration party?"

If Zhu Ke was replaced, he would definitely be shameless to hold a celebration party.

The movie is a long time to lose money, so where can I still have time to do this?

Alexander followed and said: "Colombia was very miserable in 2001. According to statistics, the final North American box office of the movie "Black Hawk Down" should be over 100 million yuan. This result is already the highest-grossing movie in Colombia in 2001."

Zhuke's face twitched.

"Man, if I remember correctly, this result shouldn't be in the top 15 of the 2001 North American box office rankings."

Zhuke asked.

Alexander nodded again: "The ranking is about 17 to 20th. Anyway, I will definitely not be able to enter the top 15."

This is Sony Colombia.

You should know that Sony Columbia Pictures is one of the six major Hollywood companies, which are all in Disney, Paramount, Universal, Warner, 20th Century Fox, etc., and are a veritable big company!

But what about 2001?

It's old...

Compared with other companies that are the top six Hollywood companies, even compared with Wald Pictures, DreamWorks and other film companies, it is not as good as those of Hollywood companies, and it is completely unmatched by its top six Hollywood identities.

Of course, if Colombia had not had global issuance channels, its performance would have been even worse.

"Boss, they invited you, are you there?"

Alexander asked.

"Go, of course!"

Zhuke raised his lips and said, "I want to see... what they sell in the gourd."

.........

Warner Bros. Pictures.

"What's the name?"

"You can tell at a guess that it must be for our film library authorization!"

"Recently, both Sony Group and Toshiba Group, these two Japanese companies have made bloody moves and waving checks everywhere for the sales of DVD players and the emerging DVD formats they may have developed."

Former Time Warner chairman Steve Ross showed disdain.

"I agree deeply."

CEO Barry Mayer nodded heavily.

Steve Rose: "You go there and I won't go."

Barry Mayer nodded and asked suddenly, "If I foresee Shay at this cocktail party, should I warn him again."

Shea, the boss of Xinyi Film, recently benefited from the explosive performance of the "Lord of the Rings" movie, but she danced happily and did not take Warner seriously at all. She even had plans to leave Warner...

This made Barry Mayer very angry.

"Need not."

Steve Rose waved his hand and sneered: "He Shay is not qualified enough. Although he is very clamoring now, he even attracted a large number of neutral shareholders to stand on his side, but I don't believe he can succeed all the time."

"Well, no one can succeed all the time!"

"As long as he makes a major mistake... then how much these shareholders support him now, how much they will oppose him in the future. At that time, we can start strongly at any time and directly take over the management rights of Xinyi Film, and turn it into our Warner subsidiary."

Upon hearing this, Barry Meyer laughed.

A company of a size of Xinyi Film Industry will definitely be greatly damaged if it makes a major mistake;

What about Warner?

Even if three, five, or ten movies fail, they can quickly turn around according to Warner's size!

This is the foundation of a large company!

.........

soon.

Columbia Pictures held a celebration party for "Black Hawk Down" and it was successfully launched.

The heads of major Hollywood film companies have basically come;

There have been many leading Hollywood actors, producers, directors, etc.

Zhuke is among them, too.

"The boring cocktail party is all nonsense."

Murdoch said.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke raised his wine glass and smiled and said, "Aren't everyone like this?"

Murdoch nodded, smiled and said, "That's right. But I believe the next content will not be too boring."

Zhu Ke immediately smiled and said, "I think so too. After all, according to the box office performance of "Black Hawk Down", there is no reason to hold a celebration party."

really!

During the middle of the celebration banquet, changes occurred.

"Dear guests, let us now welcome Mr. Kawaki Ichizawa from Sony Group!" the host on the scene said loudly.

Kawaki Ichizawa!

He comes from Sony Group. He is the man who has recently waving checks everywhere in Hollywood. He is also the man who has made Hollywood so excited recently.

Kawaki Ichizawa said, "Good evening, dear guests, I will take this opportunity to announce something. From now on, the 12 companies led by our Sony Group will officially establish the "Blu-ray CD Founders" alliance soon."

"On behalf of Sony Group, I sincerely invite you to join."

Blu-ray Disc Founders Alliance, the predecessor of Blu-ray Alliance, is an unbiased interest group. Once DVD Blu-ray is officially developed and put into use, it is very likely to monopolize the DVD format market.

This market size is trillions of dollars!

Of course, the premise of monopoly is to win over a sufficient number of allies and defeat Toshiba HD's DVD format.

The words fell.

The audience was in an uproar in an instant.

"Sony really said it!!!"

Murdoch's face changed.

Many people have long guessed Sony’s true intention, but when they learned from the representatives of the Sony Group, they were still shocked.

Because this market is so tempting, the wealth contained in it is enough to make anyone crazy!

Zhuke, Redstone, Barry Mayer, Shea and others immediately looked at each other.

If you don’t say it, say it out, and do it, there are clear differences between these three.

Now Sony has made it clear and has attracted a group of allies to form the Blu-ray CD Founders Alliance. This alliance will inevitably affect the interests of the entire Hollywood in the future, and no one can be spared.

Or join the Sony League;

Or join the Toshiba Alliance;

It is not realistic to want to please both sides and be a fence-bearer!

The second update of "" is given.
Chapter completed!
