Chapter 92: Inspection company
A certain day at the end of May.
Zhu Ke, as the boss of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, needs to patrol his company.
Even as a shopkeeper, the company cannot be completely separated from its own control, otherwise it will inevitably lead to a situation where the tail will not fall.
Financial review, introduction and replacement of important equipment, appointment of personnel in important positions, etc., all require Zhu Ke to review and decide in person.
First stop: Wald Pictures.
As a subsidiary of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, it is the most core subsidiary.
Victor, who is also the CEO of Wald Pictures, got the news early in the morning and accompanied Zhu Ke to review the company's situation.
"Boss, these materials in front of you are the result of a week's review by the head office's financial team." Victor pointed to the files on the desk.
The content of the document is not much, only dozens of pages.
Of course, this is the result of the review, sorting, and streamlining of the financial team led by Martha, otherwise it is definitely a stack of original data.
There are so many headaches!
Zhuke was watching Victor's commentary while looking at the collated materials.
"Boss, now the distribution department of Wald Pictures, has grown from a distribution business covering only 6 states last year to 35 states."
"There are 13 states left in the 48 local states. As for the overseas Alaska and Hawaii, we are currently sending out manpower to start the distribution business. It is expected that before the end of this year, our distribution network of Wald Pictures , Can fully deploy the entire United States."
Zhuke nodded immediately.
There is comfort, but also bitterness.
You must know that the distribution network of Wald Pictures can cover such a place so quickly, Zhu Ke paid real money!
Since the establishment of Wald Pictures, Zhu Ke has never drawn any money from it. Except for the filming funds of various movies, all other remaining funds have been used to expand the company's distribution network.
Besides, the money is not enough!
Therefore, Zhu Ke pledged a part of the film company shares and the rights of several movies, and borrowed 30 million US dollars from Wells Fargo Bank, and all his mother's were invested in the distribution department.
"Not bad, not in vain the money I invested!"
Zhu Ke nodded in relief.
Victor added: "Boss, for the formation of the distribution department, the U.S. dollar needs continuous investment. After all, when we have a distribution network covering the entire United States, the next step is to establish a distribution network covering the entire North America. The internet."
"The next step is to enter South America!"
"Then Europe, Asia, Australia, etc., all of which require large sums of money."
The voice fell, and the corners of Zhu Ke's mouth twitched slightly.
"......"
What can Zhuke say now?
The establishment of a distribution department is simply a huge gold swallowing beast!
The establishment of a distribution network covering more than half of the United States alone cost more than US$50 million.
Then, one can imagine how difficult it is to build a global distribution business!
Moreover, when the day comes to go out of North America, the pressure you face is not only the pressure of funds, but also the pressure of the film and television distribution industries of other countries!
and various local protection policies of various governments.
This is also the reason why Hollywood’s top six is always the top six.
Only they can distribute films from all over the world to the world. Film and television colleagues in other countries, let alone surpassed, they don't even have the qualifications to expect it.
There is no money at first;
Secondly, there is no strong network.
The most important thing is that the six major Hollywood companies have been cultivating for decades in order to form a global distribution business.
Wald Pictures still has a long way to go!
"Victor, don't care about anything else, we must first complete the distribution network covering the United States and North America is the top priority. As for the distribution business in Europe and other places, we will look back."
Zuke's tone was full of helplessness.
"Okay, boss." Victor replied.
In addition to Hollywood, except for the Big Six, the other second-tier film companies are not bad in strength. The shareholders behind them are also powerful figures. The distribution business covers the entire United States, and even North America, without problems.
But!
They just don't have a global distribution business!
Even if it is to shoot the top three movies in the North American annual box office rankings, such as the "Twilight" series of Pinnacle Entertainment. However, in order to promote the film to overseas markets, it can only accept the exploitation of the Big Six in Hollywood.
is always subject to others!
Under long-term suppression, even if all of them were ambitious in the beginning, they would eventually be acquired by the Big Six, or eliminated.
Think about the DreamWorks created by Spielberg, Katzenberg, and David Geffen!
When DreamWorks was founded, it was a sensation!
Once upon a time, it once claimed to be a big company that "could compete with the Big Six".
For several consecutive years, he has produced "Saving Private Ryan", "Shrek", "Kung Fu Panda" and other well-known movies that swept the Oscars. But in the end, wasn't it also dismembered and acquired because of the suppression of the Sixth National Congress?
One of the most important reasons is that there is no network covering the global distribution business!
"Damn it!"
"I don't want that much now!"
"I spent money to build it first, try it out."
"Learning from Shimen Film Industry, it took ten years and a billion U.S. dollars to establish a global distribution business."
"After a few years, if it doesn't work, then I will buy one of the Big Six."
Zuke is confident.
Isn't it money? As a traverser, I still have this confidence.
...
In the following time, Victor explained the shooting of the three films "Fatal Turn 2", "Human Removal Project", and "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" with Zhu Ke.
"Boss, the "Human Removal Project" of the three films, has been closed as early as the beginning of the month ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and has started post-editing and other production. The film has been rough cut three times and is expected to have another two weeks. You can complete the film." Victor said.
"Uh......."
Zhuke couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "It seems that Zach is really anxious. It has only been less than 4 months. How he wants to shoot "Spartan 300" quickly!"
Victor also smiled and said: "It's almost a bit faster, but from the situation reflected by Kevin Fitch, Zach is not eager to get things done and shoddy."
Zhuke nodded: "I have never doubted the quality of Zach's directorial work. He is a pursued director. Well, how is the situation on Nolan's side?"
Nolan? !
Mentioned Nolan, Victor immediately came to his spirits.
"Boss, I have to say that you have a good eye for people. I have been to the filming site of "Fatal Bend" several times, and I have also seen a few rough cuts. Director Nolan is indeed a very talented person. From my professional perspective, his future achievements will not be low."
"Hehe." Zhu Ke smiled unkindly.
Nolan, none of the films he has made in his lifetime has a score lower than 7.5. He is one of the few directors who combines art and business.
Can his future achievements be low?
The Sixth Sense of Supernatural being directed by Shamaran, that makes Zhuke more worry-free.
Everything is going very smoothly!
After all, Shamaran has an amazing artistic level in supernatural/horror themes. Zhu Ke is very looking forward to this film. You must know that it is a movie with a box office runner-up in 1999 and a global box office of more than $600 million!
The second update of "" is sent.
Thanks to Yuzen Zenchan for the reward.
