Hollywood Starts with Animation

　　 late August 1998.

　　 For the "Spider-Man 1" movie, Zhu Ke has sent multiple groups of people to South Korea, Japan, Thailand, India, Great Heaven and other places to seek investors for the project.

　　Wald Pictures is not a small role now!

　　 After several years of development, it has successively launched a number of hot films, and has a complete North American distribution channel, making it a leader among Hollywood second-tier film companies.

　　 But, a film company with a reputation as Wald Pictures, has been coldly dealt with overseas!

　　 India.

　　Mountain Capital, as one of the largest large funds in India, has invested heavily in European and American markets in recent years.

　　 Hollywood, as an iconic product of the United States, has naturally been favored by Mountain Capital. Since 1996, they have signed a US$500 million film project investment plan with DreamWorks.

　　 But...

　　 They were smashed by the old and cunning Spielberg!

　　 Spielberg’s DreamWorks uses a variety of methods to squeeze, transfer, file taxes, or add additional production costs to frantically infringe upon the interests of mountain capital.

　　 More than two years have passed. Mountain Capital invested 500 million US dollars and lost at least 100 million US dollars.

　　 "Yes, we don't trust you!"

　　 A person in charge of the investment department of Mountain Capital looked at the representatives of Wald Pictures and said coldly: "You Hollywood people are too immoral. You use all kinds of methods to infringe the interests of our investors."

　　 "Spielberg, is he famous enough."

　　 "But look at what he did?!"

　　 "He is a businessman vampire, more than a film director!"

　　 "According to the accounting of our accounting department, the 500 million dollars we invested will be settled after two years, and it is estimated that we will lose 200 million dollars."

　　 The person in charge said coldly: "There is a DreamWorks case listed first, how do you think I trust your company now?"

　　"..."

　　 The representative of Wald Pictures was suddenly dumb.

　　 Well, DreamWorks and Spielberg have created an extremely bad image for the overall image of Hollywood.

　　Lack of credibility!

　　 It is no wonder that Andre, the president of the Film Association of America, cursed Spielberg in the future.

He said: "Spielberg is a good director. He used a film to contribute at least 10 points to Hollywood's globalization strategy; however, he is not a good businessman. He is immoral, And the behavior that deliberately violated the interests of investors contributed a negative 10 points."

　　The overseas investors who have been mistreated by Spielberg are not only Mountain Capital.

　　...

　　 Korea.

　　 Samsung Group Overseas Investment Department.

　　 "Man, don't mention Hollywood to me!"

　　 "Who can believe the promise you are making now? How can I guarantee that you are not the next DreamWorks?!"

　　 "A financial crisis in Asia has already caused our group to suffer heavy losses. Where can we still have money to invest in your film projects?"

"Do not!"

　　 "Even if our group still has a lot of liquid capital, we will not easily invest in Hollywood movies. We have been hurt by Spielberg too deeply."

　　 The person in charge of the Samsung Group, in front of the representatives of Wald Pictures, directly and loudly accused DreamWorks and Spielberg himself.

　　 Spielberg’s cheating behavior has also planted the bane for the future!

After 2004, DreamWorks had difficulty operating, the capital chain was broken, and debts were heavy. He wanted to seek overseas investment funds, but no one trusted him anymore. This directly led to the later acquisition of DreamWorks by Paramount Pictures. fate.

　　 pit people are refreshed for a while, afterwards the crematorium!

　　 The two films "Memories" and "Spartan 300 Warriors" produced by Zucker's film company have investment from the Carlos family in Mexico. Well, although Zhuke has cheated them a little bit, he is still more particular, mainly in terms of profitability, at least not to make the Carlos family lose money.

　　On this point, Zucker is more particular than DreamWorks.

　　 But now!

　　 In the process of seeking overseas investors, Zhuke was inevitably influenced by DreamWorks!

　　...

　　 Japanese country.

　　 Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation's subsidiary-Sumitomo Mitsui Investment Group.

　　 "Invest in the movie project of your Wald Film Company, yes, no problem." The little devil smiled and looked at Wald's representative.

　　 "But!"

The little devil turned around and said: "We can invest in your movies, but let’s forget the superhero movie "Spiderman". Even the famous "Batman" series has fallen into disrepair. I don't think "Spiderman" How much can "Xia Xia" do."

　　 His meaning is clear!

　　 It is okay to invest in your Wald movies, but it’s definitely not a superhero theme!

　　...

　　 A few days later.

　　The representatives who went to overseas countries and regions turned back to Wald Pictures and informed Zhu Ke one by one.

"boom!"

　　 Zhuke patted the table angrily: "The pit buried by Spielberg now wants us to pay the bill. What do you think is this?!"

　　 Overseas investors have opinions on DreamWorks, and Zhu Ke now has opinions.

　　 didn't do much, right?

　　DreamWorks is a way to make it clear that a penny is a penny!

　　 Old Bill said solemnly: "Zuke, now it seems that our "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" production funds need to think of other ways."

　　 Kevin Fitch said: "Perhaps we can put "Spider-Man" aside and prepare for "Harry Potter" first. After all, the market now does not approve of superhero themes."

　　 The words fell, and other executives of Wald Pictures also nodded one after another.

　　 And another executive said: "We can wait for the release of "Spartan 300 Warriors" and then see how investors react."

　　Zuke shook his head resolutely, but he planned to prepare two films at the same time, definitely not making one first.

　　 Besides, Zhuke didn't want to wait that long.

"Do not!"

　　 Suddenly, Zhu Ke's inspiration flashed, and he said excitedly: "Guys, things may turn around."

　　 Transfer?

For a while, Old Bill and the others were staring at Zhu Ke with scorching eyes~www.novelmtl.com~ Guys, don’t forget, tomorrow is August 21st, "Blade Warriors" adapted from Marvel’s comics. ", but it will be released tomorrow! "Zhu Kelang said.

　　 "Boss, you mean..." Kevin Fitch's eyes flashed.

Zhuke nodded and said: "Yes. The market loses confidence in superhero themes, mainly due to the failures of Warner and DC's "Superman" and "Batman". However, once the box office of "Blade" is hot, then the entire superhero Heroic themes are bound to be revitalized."

　　 "I have confidence in this "Blade Warrior" produced by New Line Pictures, and I think it will become a milestone in the superhero theme of Marvel Comics!"

　　Speaking of this, everyone suddenly realized.

　　 Once "Blade Warrior" has made a good box office profit, then this will have a huge boost for the entire superhero theme.

　　 By then, are you still afraid that investors will not be optimistic about Spider-Man?

　　 To know the reputation of Spider-Man, it is much bigger than the Blade Warrior.

　　...

　　 In a blink of an eye, "Blade Warrior" is released!

　　 On the first day of the painting on Friday, it broke out a box office of 13 million US dollars!

　　 This number doesn't sound much, but it has been the best superhero-themed movie since "Batman and Robin" encountered Waterloo in recent years.

　　 And the most important thing is that both movie audiences, film critics and the media have a high evaluation of "Blade Warrior".

　　 North American box office exceeded 100 million, just around the corner!

　　 The second update of "" is sent.
