Vol 2 Chapter 640: DVD format controversy
Sony Group Chuanmutong a Ze ....
He came, Zucker want to see it?
Originally, Zhuke didn't intend to see him, just let Alexander deal with it, but after thinking about it, Zhuke still responded. After all, the other party has already come, and he may have a cooperation relationship with Sony in the future.
"Good morning, Mr. Kawaki, welcome your coming."
Zhuke shook hands with it.
After seeing Zhu Ke, Kazawa Kawaki bowed deeply again: "Mr. Wald, please advise."
~ This ritual was little devils.
"Mr. Kawaki, I also know a lot about your country. I don't know what will happen to you this time?" Zhu Ke didn't intend to waste time.
Hearing that, Kazawa Kawaki said immediately: "Mr. Wald, since you are quick to speak, I will be straightforward. According to what is heard, the number of movie copyrights of the Wald Pictures film library under your name are now owned. More than 2,000, and our Sony Group is currently the world’s largest manufacturer and seller of DVD players and DVD discs."
Zhuke frowned: "You mean..."
With an excitement in his heart, Zhu Ke roughly guessed the intention of the other party.
"Yes!"
Kazawa Kazawa said in a deep voice: "For the moment, the main manufacturers in the global DVD player and DVD disc market are our Sony Group and Toshiba Group, and our Sony Group wants to do more and achieve greater gains. The first and foremost point of this market share is to own more film library copyrights."
"And your company's library of more than 2,000 movies is naturally worthy of our Sony."
"To this end, we will pay a lot of reward!"
Zucker secretly Road, a cry really.
As a traverser, Zhu Ke knows that in the future, Sony will win over many Hollywood film companies to form a "Blu-ray" alliance, and the alliance "HD" with Toshiba Group to initiate a time-consuming battle over the DVD format.
This time-consuming battle has left the entire Hollywood location turbulent.
No film company is spared, because there are huge benefits in it.
In terms of the current North American market:
Sony’s DVD player is priced at US$199 to US$399 per unit, and the general price can be as high as US$600;
A DVD disc, the price is 7~12 dollars;
The North American market has hundreds of millions of users, and the benefits are not hard to imagine...
What's more, the clearer "DVD Blu-ray" format developed and manufactured by Sony Group is undoubtedly the top level in the market. The price of a CD can reach 35 US dollars.
With the introduction of the Blu-ray DVD format, the price of each DVD disc has risen by US$20, and the benefits of this are undoubtedly even greater. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a huge trillion-dollar market, and everyone who participates in it can get massive benefits.
Since ancient times, it has been moving people's heart!
"In other words, the Sony Group wants to obtain the authorization of our Wald Pictures library?" Zhu Ke said.
"Yes it is."
Chuanmutong a Ze outspoken.
Zhu Ke curled his lips and said: "The number of movies in our company's film library exceeds 2,000, and the price your company needs to pay is not a small amount."
"100 million dollars!"
Kazawa Kawaki immediately said: "100 million U.S. dollars, or more! As long as you can get your company's authorization, we can pay a higher price, at any price.
Hiss~
Even a wealthy man like Zhuke is shocked by Sony's generous work at this moment.
Sony is so rich!
However, Zucker still refused!
......
"why?!"
Kazawa Kawaki looked at Zhu Ke, who refused resolutely in disbelief, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Wald, you must know that your company is involved in this. The US$100 million licensing fee is just the beginning. Future sales dividends can also be used. Bringing you a generous return, why did you choose to refuse?"
"Ha ha!"
Zhu Ke smiled: "Sony is indeed the world's largest manufacturer and seller of DVD players and DVD discs, but don’t forget that Sony’s rival, Toshiba, is equally powerful, and I believe its price will not Low. What do you think?"
Chuanmutong a Ze: "......"
Shop around~
Sony wants Wald Pictures' film library license, and Toshiba, which is determined to want more market share, is naturally willing to pay more money.
Now Sony promised?
100 million dollars?
Zhu Ke is confident that he can get more money in return, so don't worry now!
......
after an hour.
CEO Victor entered Zhuke's office.
"Boss, I have learned. This Japanese Kazawa Kazawa has been in contact with as many as 12 film companies such as 20th Century Fox, Disney, and Paramount in the past few days. The purpose is naturally also for the films of major film companies. Library."
Victor said.
Zhuke nodded: "These little devils are really good at doing business. Take one step and look at three steps. The most important thing is that they are rich."
Victor couldn't help but twitched, and sighed: "Now they are frantically acquiring the copyright of the film library before they even develop the latest DVD format. It shows how rich they are."
Sony is of course very rich.
Ah, it was incredibly kind of money!
In 2004, Sony paid more than US$600 million in order to license nearly 3,800 movies in the Paramount library;
In 2007, in order to win the DVD format dispute with Toshiba HD, Sony paid more than 3 billion U.S. dollars to directly acquire the almost empty MGM Pictures;
Similarly, there DreamWorks film library.
The number of film rights is only as large as the DreamWorks film library of 250 movies. In order to take it, Sony directly offered a price of more than 130 million US dollars;
Toshiba followed closely behind with a price tag of US$135 million.
"The monk can't touch me?"
Zhu Ke secretly said in his heart: "Although Wald Pictures under my name has a library of more than 2,000 movies, most of the movie copyrights belong to the movie copyrights of worthless and junk; however, "Spiderman" , "Harry Potter" and other film licenses, but belong to a very valuable type of copyright."
"100 million dollars, what is it?"
"Drag it for two or three years, without a price of 400 million U.S. dollars, I will definitely not sell it!"
......
In the next few days, Hollywood was extremely lively!
The two groups, Sony and Toshiba, visited the major film companies one after another, and the prices offered by them one after another attracted the attention of the major film companies.
Third- and fourth-tier film companies face millions and tens of millions of prices, how can they stand it?
They agreed without hesitation one by one.
However, DreamWorks, Touchstone, Searchlight, Lions Gate Pictures, Emperor Gate Pictures...
These second-tier film companies are a lot cunning~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although Sony and Toshiba offer attractive prices, they resisted it.
Refuse;
Wait and see;
Became the attitude of these film companies.
The top Hollywood giants such as Disney, Paramount, Universal Pictures, and 20th Century Fox are not in a hurry.
You can offer a price of 100 million US dollars now, and in the future you can offer 300 million, 500 million, or even more!
