Vol 2 Chapter 610: If you have money or don’t make money, God won’t forgive us
Alexander is awesome.
In just a few days, he investigated the situation of Xinxian Films and also figured out why Shay invited Zhuke to participate in the "Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe" project.
"Boss, this is the result of my investigation after sorting it out."
Alexander said.
A collated survey result of New Line Pictures was placed straight on Zhuke's desk.
Zhu Ke turned a few pages and said in amazement, "I didn't expect that the film and television copyright of the novel "The Lion·Witch·The Wardrobe" is really in the hands of Xinxian Pictures?!"
Alexander nodded and said, "Furthermore, if the film and television copyright of the "Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe" novel cannot be launched at the end of 2001, then the ownership of this project will automatically be adopted to Disney. This is also true."
Hearing this, Zhu Ke frowned immediately and said, "It shouldn't be, Shay is this guy so honest?!"
No wonder Zhu Ke doesn't feel weird!
Shay’s character is really very poor, it can be called the best!
He has the temperament of running a train, and the entire Hollywood industry is one of them. Who doesn't know?
In early 1998, Shay took a movie project and took the initiative to find Fox Searchlight Pictures, a subsidiary of 20th Century Fox Pictures.
He took the initiative to come to seek cooperation
Doflamingo of Fox Searchlight Pictures, seeing that the project was good, he nodded and agreed without hesitation.
But the result?
The end result was that Shay gave Doflamingo a big trick!
In the name of Fox Searchlight Pictures and New Line Pictures, Shay succeeded in attracting film investment from Canada and Mexico. After the funds were quickly in place, Shay did not hesitate to kick Fox Searchlight Pictures away.
This movie project is called-"Rush Hour"!
The film’s production cost was only 35 million U.S. dollars, but it achieved a North American box office score of more than 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, and ranked sixth in the North American annual box office rankings in 1998.
Immediately afterwards, "Rush Hour 2" and "Rush Hour 3" were equally good at the box office.
What Xinxian Pictures earns is full of money, and the U.S. dollar flows wildly.
Jackie Chan, one of the leading actors in the series, has also become one of Hollywood's most well-known action actors in one fell swoop, and his salary has risen to 10 million dollars.
On the other hand, Doflamingo of Fox Searchlight Pictures, who was kicked away, almost got an angry nose.
He clamored in the media more than once, "Xie Yi of New Line Pictures is a complete liar!"
"He is a villain without any bottom line!"
"He deceived me and hurt me. He should be thankful that this is not the Middle Ages, otherwise I must find him in a life and death duel between men!"
There are many similar examples.
That's why Zhu Ke said that Shay's character was very poor, and he couldn't believe it.
"This time he actually tells the truth?!"
Student Zhu Ke was a little surprised at this moment.
However, Alexander shook his head. "No, he only told half the truth."
""
Zhu Ke was stunned for a moment, and then turned to the next few pages of the information again.
a long time.
Zhu Ke just sighed, "Sure enough, Shay is not an honest person at all."
New Line Pictures.
"Although I didn't tell the truth completely, I didn't completely deceive either."
Shay looked at Jonathan, the right-hand man in front of him, and smiled, "Yes? From the beginning to the end, I actively seek to cooperate with Zhuke Wald? It has his own purpose, but he Zhuke Wald participates in it? Yes Is it possible to make money? This is also true!"
Vice President Jonathan smiled "Boss wise!"
1. The film and television copyright of the novel "The Lion·Witch·The Wardrobe" is in the hands of Xinxian Pictures;
2. The film and television copyright of the novel "The Lion·Witch·The Wardrobe"? If it cannot be launched at the end of 2001, then the ownership of this project will automatically be adopted to Disney;
3. The funds of New Line Pictures are concentrated on the "Lord of the Rings" project? There is no extra funds to develop "The Lion·Witch·Magic Wardrobe"? So I found Zhuke, and Wald Pictures is in the magical fantasy project. The success of "Harry Potter" can greatly guarantee the success of the project.
The above three points are true!
Shay also explained these three points to Zhu Ke? Only from this point? He could say that he did not deceive Zhu Ke.
but!
He has another purpose, and he has concealed it from Zhuke
"I want to completely get rid of Disney's influence on New Line Pictures, so this time is the best opportunity!"
Xie Yi said coldly, "Since 1991, for the survival and development of New Line Films, I have accepted the Disney Group's shareholding; in 1993? We also accepted Warner's shareholding; there are two Hollywood six majors as backers, we Survive better. However? Now a full 10 years have passed, and we have created a great movie for Xin Xian Film Industry."
""Blade Warriors", "Mulan", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Rush Hour", "Powers Ace", etc.? Of course there will be the upcoming "Lord of the Rings" series of movies."
"Over the past ten years, we have created two film companies, Disney and Warner? How huge profits have been created"
"But? The profits created by us? Most of them were taken away by Disney and Warner. We only took a fraction."
"Hehe, of course I am not reconciled!"
"So I found investors on Wall Street!"
Up to now, after being acquired by AOL, Warner has been deeply involved in the internal struggle between the old faction Warner system and the new faction AOL system. The two sides can be described as incompatible;
Disney is no better.
The chairman of Disney, Michael Eisner, and Roy Disney of the Disney family are also in conflict;
This allows Shay to see an opportunity!
He saw an opportunity for Xinxian Films to completely get rid of the two movie giants Disney and Warner.
Only if people have ambitions, no one wants to keep bowing and bowing to others!
One of the top five investment banks on Wall Street, Goldman Sachs.
Wall Delen, one of the senior partners and senior vice presidents of Goldman Sachs Investment Bank, said, "Shay has a lot of courage!"
"At the time when Disney and Warner were in a serious internal struggle, he found Zhuke Wald and found us Goldman Sachs. In this way, the "Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe" movie project has both " The behind-the-scenes team and successful experience of the "Harry Potter" movie again have our huge funds from Goldman Sachs."
"Once this project is really successful, Shay can really make New Line Pictures independent!"
"Even if they can't completely get rid of the influence of Disney and Warner, it can greatly dampen the control of the two movie giants over the new line of film industry, leaving him Shay in control."
"Tsk tut~"
"A guy cunning enough!"
The voice fell.
The assistant frowned and said, "Boss, shall we continue to participate?"
"Of course continue!"
Wall Delen joked, "As long as the "Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe" movie project can make money, we can't miss it. God won't forgive us if we don't make money."
In the same way, Zhu Ke decided to participate in it after clarifying the ins and outs.
You said, would offend Disney and Warner?
Does Zhuke need to care?
Zhuke himself and the two movie giants Disney and Warner are a little bit ridiculous~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Now if you offend a little bit, there is nothing to say, after all, if there are too many lice, don't bite people.
The "Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe" movie, um, is also the "Chronicles of Narnia" movie. It is a hit movie that has won more than 7.8 billion US dollars worldwide, and it has made achievements in children's and adolescents' magical themes. Second only to the "Harry Potter" series of movies.
Zhuke participated in the film project "The Chronicles of Narnia", and the future benefits will not only be limited to the box office.
Movie peripherals, offline DVDs, TV platform broadcasting, copyright income
On the whole, once the Wald Films under Zhu Ke's name participates, it will be able to make at least $200 million in profits.
As Wall Delen of Goldman Sachs Investment Bank puts it, "If we have money or not, God will not forgive us."
