Chapter 305 Zhu Ke Visited Overseas to Promote the Film
late August.
Zucker took a group of people and took a flight overseas. The purpose was naturally to better promote the animated film "Finding Nemo".
The list of accompanying persons is as follows:
Former Fox CEO and current president of Wald Pictures: Bill McNick;
Vice President of Waterworld Animation, one of the directors of Finding Nemo: David Messer;
President of SpongeBob SquarePants' surrounding chain stores and director of Jin Shuguang's home entertainment department: Taro Hashimoto;
Wait, 17 people in total.
Of course, if you add Zhu Ke's security team, the number is bound to be more than a dozen people.
At the same time, Alexander, director of the President's Office and chief assistant to the chairman of Jin Shuguang Group, arrived in London, England two days ahead of schedule to act as a pawn.
"This time, everyone will be wronged first. After a few months, everyone will go to Europe to promote the movie. You can take our company's own plane."
In the first-class cabin of the flight, Zhu Kelang said.
own plane? !
"Boss, you are referring to the super-midsize business jet you ordered with Gulfstream in June 1998, the Gulfstream G200, which is also one of the most luxurious business jets in the world." David Messer suddenly The eyes lit up.
"Yes, that's it. It will be delivered by the end of October this year." Zucker laughed.
The voice fell, and everyone present was overjoyed.
With its own company's exclusive aircraft, who wants to see public flights?
What's more, it's a Gulfstream G200!
The price alone is as high as $25 million, and if you add luxury interiors, it will definitely add millions more.
How can you compare the comfort level of a public flight aircraft?
Bill McNick suddenly said, "I've never been on the company's exclusive plane a few times."
"Don't come here,
old man! "
Zucker immediately laughed and scolded: "When you were the CEO of Fox Pictures, you didn't miss the exclusive plane of Fox Pictures."
"Don't mention it, don't mention it!" Old Bill waved his hand quickly.
Old Bill is trying to force everyone.
For a time, everyone in the entire cabin laughed.
This time to go overseas to promote the film "Finding Nemo", Zucker must go!
Up to now, although Wald Pictures has built an overseas distribution network, it has only completed the initial construction, the background is too poor, and the shelf is very fragile. Once targeted, it is bound to cause huge lethality.
Have to pay attention!
"I have to go in person and stabilize those greedy guys." Zucker thought to himself.
A few months ago, the three films "My Big Greek Wedding", "300 Spartans" and "Blair Witch" were released overseas. Those local snakes from overseas countries and regions bullied Wald Pictures" Young", making small moves in it.
As far as Zucker is concerned, the box office share they withheld, which should have belonged to Wald Pictures, was as much as more than 13 million US dollars.
"How greedy is this~"
"The shameless behavior of these people is almost blatant!"
They forced Zucker to come in person. They were so arrogant that they annoyed Zucker!
Old Bill, Hashimoto Taro, David Messer and others accompanied them, and they also had their own roles.
Bill McNick is the president of Wald Pictures, and he also served as the CEO of 20th Century Fox Pictures. He has been in Hollywood for decades and has experienced countless ups and downs, and he enjoys a certain reputation around the world. , the network is very wide.
With his participation, it can ensure better publicity and distribution of Finding Nemo in overseas countries and regions.
The role of David Messer is also huge!
He is one of the directors of "Finding Nemo" and is second only to President Stephen Solenberg in the water world animation company.
Every business needs a facade, especially an entertainment company.
There is no doubt that he, David Messer, is a face and card character introduced by Zucker.
Some people may say: "Aren't you worried that after he becomes popular, he will move to another company?"
Ha ha!
Classmate Zhu Ke was very relieved.
Option awards and the company's listing of allotment shares are all means by which Zucker can take advantage of his David Messer.
Job-hopping, are you willing to do these hard-earned things?
President of the chain stores around SpongeBob SquarePants, director of Jin Shuguang's family entertainment department - Hashimoto Taro.
"During the listing process of Water World Animation's allotment, I know that you little devil has ideas and is unwilling."
"But, what can you do?!"
Zhu Ke turned away from Taro Hashimoto, who was sitting upright not far away, and couldn't help squinting.
Hashimoto Taro, he is a very aggressive person, and can be called the most aggressive person in the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group. At the same time, he is also a very ambitious person.
Ms. Donna from the TV Group, Old Bill from Wald Pictures, and even Victor, the group's CEO, was disdainful of Taro Hashimoto.
"All I want is your aggression!"
"Little devil, you honestly become a knife in my hand, keep restraining and warning those executives."
Zucker knows that Hashimoto Taro is a human being.
He is a vicious dog that Zucker puts in the flock to balance the whole group.
Doesn't Hashimoto Taro himself know?
Of course he knows!
He's an extremely smart guy, and he volunteers to be a lackey. In his words: "As long as the goal can be achieved, all means are essential things on the road to success."
After a few hours......
The flight arrives in London.
"Boss, it's 6 pm local time in London, I have the hotel ready for everyone, everything can start tomorrow."
As soon as he arrived at the London airport, Alexander brought two people from the London branch to pick up the plane.
"Okay. I don't worry about you doing business!" Zu Ke smiled.
More than two hours later.
David Messer suddenly came to Zucker's hotel suite and said, "Boss, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight. I just received a call from Mr. Lyman's assistant."
Lyman?
Zucker's expression moved, and he asked, "Is that Lehman Schwytz, one of Europe's largest distributors of movie peripherals, who has a net worth of tens of billions of dollars?"
"Yes!"
David Messer shrugged and said with a smile: "Mr. Ryman invited not only me, but also Taro Hashimoto. Of course, the two of us are just pawns. The person he really wants to meet is actually you, the boss."
Zu Ke pondered for more than ten seconds and said: "I have wanted to meet him for a long time. If we can finalize a cooperation agreement with him on peripheral products, although we will give some benefits, it will speed up our layout in Europe, feasible! "
agreed!
The pros outweigh the cons, and Zucker has no reason to disagree.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
At this moment, Alexander knocked on the door of Zucker's suite.
"Boss, this is the specific list of companies that are greedy for ink and withhold our $13 million in funds for no reason." Alexander submitted a document to Zucker.
Zucker looked at the list with a sullen look on his face.
Lines of numbers that stimulate the eye!
It's all his mother's money!
Deceiving too much!
Zhu Keqiang endured his anger and said, "Alexander, you help me invite them to dinner in London three days later. After ITV's TV interview is over, I must deal with them severely. Hmph, I really think I'm a mess~ !"
" "The first more is sent.
The minister did not update yesterday. I drank too much at noon, and I didn't recover at night. The amount of alcohol was too bad. Make up today.
