Vol 2 Chapter 619: Amazing licensing fees

DreamWorks is indeed going crazy.

For several days in a row, the three giants of DreamWorks Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen had their jealous eyes red.

A month ago, DreamWorks’ new work "Rival Storm" was released. In order to make this film a high box office and to make it a savior of the bleak North American film market, DreamWorks paid a lot.

Spent a huge amount of publicity funds;

Paid a lot of favors;

Even the great director Spielberg has no face, and has no bottom line to please film critics and the media.

But, the result?

"Rival Storm" movie blood loss!

DreamWorks completely lost the opportunity to be listed on the US stock market in 2001!

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

Spielberg gritted his teeth: "Look at what the recent media are talking about? The savior of the Hollywood film market, the only animation company listed in the U.S., the No. 1 and No. 3 film company in the U.S., oh no, now The ranking of Water World Animation Company is not 3rd, but 2nd, the ranking that we have taken away from us."

The voice fell.

Jeffrey Katzenberg's face was very ugly.

Once upon a time, he was the head of Disney's animation department and the number one leader. But later, he was swept out by Michael Eisner, known as the "Disney Tyrant"; since then, he has vowed that he will retaliate.

He worked hard~

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

In particular, the emergence of "Shrek" in early 2000 made Jeffrey Katzenberg's recognition by the market, and the media also praised him.

But what about now?

At the moment when the movie market is bleak, Water World Animation's "Flying House Global" and Pixar Animation's "Monster Electric Company" have ignited the market's popularity and reputation as soon as they were released, and box office growth has remained high.

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

Katzenberg was deeply unwilling, almost overflowing.

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

"silly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Spielberg cursed unceremoniously: "The market cake is so big, and there are more divisions between Water World and Pixar, where will our place be?"

"you......"

David Geffen glared at Spielberg.

He didn't expect Spielberg to be so shameful to him, knowing that he is also one of the company's major shareholders.

I don't want face!

There is no doubt that the gap between the Big Three of DreamWorks has deepened again.

The verbal conflict and discord, to be honest, is just an introduction. The key is that DreamWorks' life is not easy now, and when the interests are damaged, various gaps will naturally continue to appear.

at the same time......

Blue Sky Studio.

As a subsidiary of 20th Century Fox Pictures, one of the six major Hollywood companies, it has devoted itself to the production of animated films since it was acquired.

Although it only has an animated short film in just a few minutes now? But after they have obtained sufficient funds, the animated film "Ice Age" that is being produced at this moment? It has given them enough confidence.

"what?!"

"Can you say that again!!!"

At this moment? As the founder of Blue Sky Studio, Chris Witch, where is there a trace of calmness? He was surprised.

Carlos Sardan said solemnly: "The news is true, and I just learned it."

Hearing this? Chris Wedge's face was full of shock.

Why?

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

The film "Flying House Global", the amount of peripheral licenses sold in the 50 states of the United States is as high as 140 million US dollars;

This achievement? Created the highest transaction amount in the history of film licensing in the United States, breaking a series of records!

Waterworld Animation’s last work "Finding Nemo", its peripheral licensing fees in all 50 states in the United States, but worth more than 50 million US dollars.

Lower than the average level of DreamWorks Animation;

It is much lower than Pixar animation!

But this time, the peripheral authorizations in the 50 states alone are as high as 140 million US dollars? Many people are stunned.

"This, this? This...it's incredible!"

"Near the United States, there are 140 million U.S. dollars in peripheral licenses. If it is converted into countries and regions around the world? Don't they want to make a profit?!"

At this moment, the eyes of Chris Wedge, the founder of Blue Sky Studio, were really red? They were all red.

Carlos Chardanha, who is also the founder and one of the directors of "Ice Age", said quietly: "Man? If you listen to Pixar's "Monster Electric Company" news, you will be even more suffocated."

"..."

Chris Witch looked surprised.

Carlos said quietly: "Five minutes after the announcement of Water World Animation, Pixar announced: "Monsters Electric Company" animation film, its peripheral authorized amount of 50 states in the United States is as high as 142 million US dollars."

The voice fell.

Chris Witch said nothing, because at this moment he was already separated.

The American film market under the influence of the 9/11 incident was completely shocked by Pixar Animation, an animation of Water World!

As the saying goes: "Times make heroes!"

The current Water World Animation and Pixar Animation are just like that.

Movie box office explosion;

The company’s stock price has skyrocketed and its market value has continued to rise;

Various peripheral licensing fees related to the movie have also broken through the horizon!

咚咚咚~~

At this moment, Rupert Murdoch, one of the six major Hollywood studios, 20th Century Fox Pictures and the owner of News Corporation, suddenly visited Blue Sky Studio.

"I won't say any more than that."

"I believe you have received the news."

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

Murdoch said coldly: "This market cannot only have Water World, Pixar, and DreamWorks. It must have Blue Sky Studio."

Upon hearing this, Chris Wedge and Carlos were immediately shocked.

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

Lighting entertainment.

Mentioning the name of this animation company may not be known to many people~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But mentioning the company’s works "Little Yellow Man" and "Despicable Me" two animation works, then there are many people who know Up.

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

However, because of the company’s founder Chris Mehler Dandeli, who played Zhu Ke severely, it is very likely that the copyright of the little yellow man does not belong to Lighting Entertainment.

After all, Zhu Ke’s plagiarism ability is one-by-one!

"Tsk tut~"

At this moment, Meldandeli looked at the newspaper in shock and exclaimed: "That fellow Zhuke Wald, after the violent speculation in military stocks and grain and oil futures after the 9/11 incident, has made a lot of money this time."

The assistant nodded and couldn't help saying: "Boss, in a few days the "Forbes" annual wealth report will be released for the new year. I guess this time the top ten in the United States, there must be him Zhuke Wald!"
