Chapter 324 Establish a Game Company
The dialogue between Zucker and Redstone can be described as unexpectedly smooth.
Of course, except for Zucker and Redstone himself, only one Lisa knows the details, and outsiders don't know, but there are many well-informed people in the United States, and there is no shortage of guesses.
So that night, a local newspaper in Los Angeles published the news.
[What does Zucker Wald intend to meet with Viacom Group Chairman Redstone? 】
The newspaper, "Chasing the Wind", cited a number of speculations in the article.
"M&A?"
"As we all know, AOL is now negotiating mergers and acquisitions with Time Warner Group, so Viacom Group, which is also a media empire, should also adopt mergers and acquisitions? Entertainment Group?"
Watching the fun is not too big a deal!
It's the media!
The media's incorruptible and unrestrained conduct is well known to the world. In order to pursue hot spots, selling points and interests, the primary point of the news they report is to go big and attract more readers' attention.
Clearly, they succeeded!
That evening, the new issue of Evening News of "Wind Herald News" was completely sold out in just a few hours.
Nebel Joe, the owner of the "Chasing News" newspaper, looked at the performance report and grinned: "This Zucker Wald is really a mobile hotspot, and now I'm tying him to Redstone again. Reporting together, it really attracted the attention of a lot of people, I want to make a rhythm!"
"Boss, what should I do next?" an editor-in-chief asked.
"Idiot~"
Nebel Joe said loudly: "Of course it's going to be a series of reports for at least a week. Do you still need me to teach you? If you have money or not, God will not forgive me, Amen~"
at the same time.
America's other tabloids, not to be outdone.
In the first time, a lot of manpower was removed and the writing was fast.
"Hurry up~ Guys!"
"We've got that bastard, Nebel Joe of The Herald, one step ahead,
There was lag, and now it is necessary to catch up. "
"Time is money!"
The boss of a media newspaper is constantly urging his employees. The hot spot is money, the capital for their pursuit and survival.
"Boss, Zucker Wald and Redstone are not easy to mess with. They are media tycoons themselves, and they have a strong team of lawyers with a large lineup. We can't afford it." An employee worried.
"Afraid of you, you!"
The boss said with disdain: "They are powerful, but I'm not a vegetarian. Could it be possible that they can cover the sky with one hand? I don't have any other skills, but I'm bold. In a word, no one can stop me from making money. It is the law of America that gives every citizen a right that God cannot take away."
......
There are frequent reports and conspiracy theories.
Whether online or offline, Ku Shi has attracted the attention of the masses and launched a crazy discussion.
"real or fake?"
"Viacom is going to buy Mr. Wald's company?"
"It shouldn't be possible! As far as I know, Mr. Wald has just cashed out billions of dollars from the stock market recently, and he won't be short of money."
"Hehe, I think it might be true..."
"As we all know, Paramount Pictures, a subsidiary of Viacom, and Wald Pictures, a subsidiary of Zucker, have worked together for several years and are senior partners. Now they are together again. It's entirely possible to go even further."
"Isn't it common for the six major Hollywood companies to acquire second- and third-tier film companies? No doubt!"
"Rumors, real fragrance, simple and blurry!"
......
For a time, the media of Viacom Group's acquisition of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group was flying all over the sky. It was rumored to be a tumultuous, dusty hustle and bustle.
Golden Dawn Entertainment Group.
Assistant Alexander frowned: "Boss, do you want to send out the company's legal department and send a warning letter to these media."
Hearing this, Zu Ke waved his hand and said, "There's no need to send a letter. Although it's fake news, isn't it a propaganda for us? These media know well, they're all human beings!"
dong dong dong!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the person who came was Victor, the CEO of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group.
Victor said straight to the point: "Boss, you decided to cooperate with Paramount Pictures as the producer of the "Tomb Raider" project. I agree. This will deepen our contact with the Big Six, and will not let We're under fire."
When the words fell, Zu Ke smiled.
Victor said again: "The main purpose of my coming here is not the "Tomb Raider" project, but I think the company's Wald Pictures is going to expand its staff."
"Expanding staff?" Zu Ke raised his brows.
Are you missing someone?
"Boss, throughout this year, Wald Pictures has successively produced many popular films such as "My Great Greek Wedding", "Spartan 300 Warriors", "Blair Witch", "Finding Nemo", etc. However, our production The number of films is far from the Big Six and DreamWorks."
As Victor spoke, he gave Zuke a set of data.
As of the end of September this year, the number of films produced by Wald Pictures was only 6, which was a certain increase compared to the same period last year.
However......
Compared with the Big Six, this production volume is simply a younger brother!
As of the end of September, the Disney Group has released 14 films;
Warner Bros. Pictures, which launched 13 films;
Sony Columbia Pictures, with 11 films;
...
DreamWorks Pictures, known as the first under the Big Six, also released 9 films.
"Boss, this is only the number of films produced by the Big Six and DreamWorks itself. If you add the subsidiary film companies they have invested in and controlled, the number will be even more." Victor said solemnly.
For a film company to grow and develop, in addition to high-quality boutique films, it must also have a strong ability to produce multiple films.
The number of films is not enough, how can they have a certain right to speak in the cinema?
Is Wald Pictures strong enough at this stage?
No!
At present, Wald Pictures is producing only four movies, "Spider-Man", "Harry Potter", "Death Comes" and "Butterfly Effect", which is already the limit state.
In contrast, the Big Six and DreamWorks...
Their manpower and strength can ensure that they can produce more than 8 movies at the same time, or even more, and there will be no shortage of manpower.
Abundant talents!
In a word, the manpower of Wald Pictures is seriously insufficient!
The lack of talent is even worse!
"I agree, whether it's recruiting or poaching, I only look at the results." Zu Ke pondered.
"Yes, boss."
Victor was suddenly full of energy, and there is no doubt that the size of Wald Pictures will expand in the near future.
Not long after, Zu Ke was the only one left in the huge office.
"Ding dong!"
[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a brief list of personnel of the Baokai game company founded in 2000. 】
Pop open game company?
Does the system suggest me to create a game company?
While Zhu Ke was puzzled, he had never heard of the name of the Baokai game company. After all, Zu Ke played games in his last life and paid little attention to the production company behind his games.
However...
Soon...
What the hell!
"The game "Plants vs. Zombies" was actually made by this Baokai game company!"
" "The first more is sent.
