Hollywood Starts with Animation

Two days later.

London, in a hotel suite.

"Boss, the director of the "Original Chef" program group, just called to let us know that the program you participated in will be broadcast on ITV Variety Channel 1 at 8 pm next Wednesday." Alexander said respectfully.

"Next Wednesday? Our movie "Finding Nemo" will be released in the UK next Friday. Well, it's just in time." Zucker thought for a moment.

Why go to a variety show?

Isn't it just to promote the movie, otherwise, why would Zhu Ke, a dignified billionaire, go into battle in person? Just like Bell's "Survival in the Wild" in many episodes, why so many stars and dignitaries appear, isn't it also for publicity.

"Those vampires, how many people are attending tonight's banquet?" Zucker asked.

Alexander understood and immediately said: "According to the feedback received so far, 13 people will attend tonight's banquet."

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Ke couldn't help sneering and said: "These guys are really bullying me young! 27 invitations were issued, but only 13 people attended. Tsk tsk tsk ~ I won't talk about making our money, not talking about our box office share, and greed for what we deserve. Not to mention the interests, now I don't even have a chance to eat."

Alexander echoed: "Capital is greedy!"

Withholding and delinquent box office share of $110 million;

The greedy funds of up to 13 million US dollars;

A group of overseas channel dealers who cooperated with Wald Pictures are completely unscrupulously lying on Zucker to suck blood.

How can Zucker endure it?

Besides, Zucker has compromised twice, reducing the share ratio twice in a row.

The overseas box office share has dropped from 33% to 31%;

Subsequently, it dropped to 30%.

Don't watch the operation twice, it only reduces the share by 3%, but according to the many movies released by Wald Pictures, its total box office is more than 1 billion US dollars. A 3% reduction in revenue is equivalent to a profit of $30 million for Wald Pictures;

This compromise price

It's really not small!

Furthermore, Wald Pictures and them have also made a lot of profits in terms of peripheral product sales and peripheral licensing, and the amount of profits before and after is no less than 20 million US dollars.

"I gave $50 million back and forth, but their greed is absolutely limitless."

"It can be one, two, and no more!"

"Alexander, believe it or not, if we don't be tougher this time, they will inevitably force us to make concessions again. It will not be a $50 million dollar then."

Zhu Keqiang held back his anger.

Alexander sighed: "Boss, you are right. In fact, not to mention our Wald Films, even the big six in Hollywood have no less than 20 lawsuits with overseas distributors every year. In July 1998, Fox Pictures and Paramount Pictures sued filmmakers and distributors in Britain, France, and Germany for $130 million in compensation for the box office revenue of "Titanic". funds?"

Your circle is so messy!

Zuke cursed inwardly.

It's not uncommon for Hollywood to be divided into such bullshit because of the box office.

Production company, director, actor;

Production companies and distributors;

Production companies and theaters;

The publisher and the American theater chain;

The issuer and the cinemas and distributors in overseas countries and regions;

......

The frequency of economic lawsuits is simply endless!

7pm.

"Zwilly" restaurant in London.

At this moment, in a small banquet hall that can accommodate 50 people, there are more than a dozen brightly dressed men or women, old or young, chatting in groups.

"Mr. Juan, since Madrid, Spain, for a few years, your business has become more and more prosperous. I am really envious!" said De Maita, a film dealer from Denmark.

"Mr. Demeta, you are too modest. As far as I know, the performance of the film peripheral industry you operate in Denmark and Norway this year is enough to make many people ashamed." Spanish businessman Williams Juan smiled stand up.

"Ha ha!"

A 20-year-old brown-haired beauty from Rome, Italy, came over with a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Good evening, Mr. Juan and Mr. De Meta."

Juan frowned: "This lady, who are you?"

Williams Juan from Spain, he did not know the brown-haired beauty, but the Danish businessman De Maita did.

"Mr. Juan, let me introduce to you, this beautiful woman is Miss Belika Kessinde, the second daughter of Mr. Raymond Kessinde, the second largest individual shareholder of Leidu Group." DeMetta said.

Leidu Group?

The full name is Bino Spring Leidu Group!

Hearing this, Williams Juan's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly said hello.

Some people may not know about Leidu Group, but when it comes to its brands, it is definitely known to many people.

Gucci, Balenciaga, Girard Perregaux, Puma and other brands are sub-brands of Leidu Group.

Leidu Group was founded in 1963 and renamed Kering Group in 2005. It is one of the luxury luxury companies in Europe. Together with Louis Vuitton Group, Hermès Group and Richemont Group, it is also known as the four major luxury goods giant companies in Europe. .

As of 2020, the four luxury giants, all of which are large companies with a market value of more than 150 billion US dollars!

There is no doubt that the 13 people invited to the event today are all big businessmen and entrepreneurs who are either rich or expensive, and none of them are worth less than 100 million US dollars.

"Baron Tobit!"

"Mr. Tobit!"

"Baron, here you are!"

At this moment, the little old man, Baron Tobit, who was stooping but had burning eyes, appeared. As a result, the eyes of the audience were all focused on him.

His wealth may not be the most among the people present, but his connections are definitely the strongest among them all.

"Mr. Zucker Wald, are you here yet?" asked old Tobit.

Next to him, Hu An immediately curled his lips and said, "How can I get there now? They are super rich with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, shouldn't they be arrogant?"

"It's abominable!"

The Danish businessman Demeta said, "Baron Tobit is here. He, Zucker Wald, as the master, asks all of us to wait for him. Haha~ It's too disrespectful!"

For a time, many people present showed dissatisfaction.

Only the second young lady of the Kessinde family, Belika Kessinde, showed a mysterious smile.

"Boss, what they said makes sense." The little secretary beside Belica frowned.

"Hehe, what do you know?" Belika said lightly.

Boom!

At this moment, the door of the small banquet hall was pushed open again.

"Who is it that I say I'm putting on airs? Who said that I don't respect others?"

That's right, our classmate Zhu Hao is here.

" "The second is sent.
