Tian Xiaopeng is the head of Yuehua's animation department, and Zhang Junsheng asked him to come to North America, of course, there is business.

"Kung Fu Panda 2" is still in production, Tian Xiaopeng planned an animation project by himself, called "The Return of the Great Sage", and the derivative of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace"...

In short, he's busy...

The animation department has newly joined the Pleasant Goat team, and last year it created more than 100 million revenues, which stimulated a lot...

Riding a horse, this kind of low-end anime is so profitable?

"You are talking about Chris Meledandley, I know him, "Ice Age" and "The Simpsons" are all works led by him!"

“… I own half of his company, and this time I came to promote Summit Entertainment to acquire his company!"

“… You're bullish on him?"

"Nonsense, don't be optimistic, I'll throw money to play?"

80 million dollars, 40 percent of the shares, the son of the plane is rich, but not a wave...

Tian Xiaopeng thought about it seriously: "It's difficult!"

“… yes, it's hard!"

Summit Entertainment's long distribution capacity can only guarantee the opening of 2,000 theaters, but the Big Six Hollywood can start with 3,000...

They have a complete distribution chain...

"But it's not that there is no chance!" Zhang Junsheng smiled: "He can run away from Fox mainly because Fox is too greedy, and if my driving conditions are high enough, he has no reason to refuse!"

“… But is Chris Meledandley really worth the investment?"

Zhang Junsheng was even more unsure, so Tian Xiaopeng explained: "Haven't you always wanted to buy DreamWorks?"

“… You can see that..."

Touching his nose, Zhang Junsheng said: "The market value of DreamWorks is too high, and Jeffrey Katzenberg is an idealist, I probably don't get along with him..."

……

Who is Jeffrey Katzenberg?

The leader of DreamWorks Anime!

His pinnacle record is not "Shrek", but "The Lion King"!

"The Lion King", the pinnacle of 2D anime, has a global box office of $980 million!

It was 1994!

Then, in the most glorious moment of his life, Jared Katzenberg was swept away by Walt Disney.

In the field of animated filmmaking, Jared Katzenberg was a success, but in the power struggle within Disney, he was a complete loser.

The man who beat him was none other than Michael Eisner, who turned Disney from a studio into a giant media company.

Since leaving Walt Disney, Jared Katzenberg's greatest wish has been to trample Disney animation under his feet in the field of animated filmmaking.

It's probably never going to come true!

Because Disney acquired Pixar!

Pixar, Disney's biggest competitor!

Frankly, if it weren't for the money, Disney wouldn't have been able to buy Pixar at all...

It seems that if you can't beat your opponent, joining him, or absorbing him is really not Durant's first initiative!

Many predict that the future of Hollywood animation may be dominated by one family!

DreamWorks Animation is long gone...

After the collapse of the DreamWorks Group, the independent DreamWorks Animation Studio did not even have the ability to distribute in North America, and the top three animation studios in the Hollywood industry could only exist as a pure producer.

This is also the main reason why Jeffrey Katzenberg finally packaged and sold DreamWorks Animation to Universal...

Issuance Issues!

There is also the issue of overseas sales...

This is an opportunity.

Summit Entertainment now has perfect North American distribution and overseas distribution capabilities, but it is relatively immature, before DreamWorks falls apart, if it can sign a few DreamWorks film contracts and show its strength, it may have the opportunity to become an acquirer, and even take a stake in Jeffrey Katzenberg NeTV...

Compared to Netflix, Ne TV is likely to be the most correct way to open streaming...

This is not for the time being, after all, the establishment of NeTV is still a bit ahead of its time...

……

Golf course...

Wen Shiren insisted that Zhang Junsheng meet Chris Meledandley at the golf club, saying that this is the norm in North America...

Alas, what Americans!

What does golf stand for in China?

It represents 10 million Hong Kong dollars!

Two represents a mansion...

Zhang Junsheng posed, about one meter away from the entrance of the hole, but he couldn't get into the hole with one shot...

Don't blame him, used to getting into the hole and not cumming ...

A little embarrassed, Zhang Junsheng changed the subject: "... I don't know much about golf, you know yo-yo beads?"

“… Yo-yo beads?"

Wen Shiren shook his head.

"It's a sport for our Chinese kids, it's fun... The rules are similar to those of golf, you have to go into a hole..."

"Really, what does it look like?"

"It's a glass ball about a centimeter in diameter, we didn't have toys when we were kids..."

While we were chatting, Chris Meledandley came over.

He's a golfer and goes straight into the hole...

After a halftime break, Zhang Junsheng spoke: "Summit Entertainment has perfect distribution channels in North America and overseas, Chris, you must also know that Summit has won $500 million at the global box office with a "Twilight Zone"!"

“… However, the overseas rights of "Twilight" were packaged and sold to Universal. ”

Chris Meledandley certainly knew the purpose of Zhang Junsheng's appointment with him, and he didn't really want to entertain the lighting and give it to the top...

During this time, he was eye-to-eye with the globe...

"That's for the second part to do pre-sales, "Twilight 2" will be released in April next year, I'm sure that the overseas results of this film will not be bad!"

“… Let's talk about it then!"

Chris is clearly reluctant to talk about mergers.

"Chris, Illumination Entertainment must find a partner, and an independent animation production company does not have the ability to distribute..."

“… I can find the Big Six!"

"Then you're going to give them sixty percent of the proceeds?"

Capital is all vampires without conscience!

The Big Six in Hollywood occupy the top of the pyramid, and their control over distribution is outrageous!

Take, for example, DreamWorks.

DreamWorks is small in size and has narrow channels, so it can only be promoted and distributed by large companies, and they don't make much money even if it is a big-selling film. "Saving Private Ryan" cost $70 million and sold $500 million at the box office worldwide, but DreamWorks earned only $30 million.

Where did the money go?

It's all made the publisher earn...

Therefore, DreamWorks changes overseas distributors every time it launches a work, which is useless, although the six major internal competitions, they are consistent externally!

Chris Meledandley obviously understood what Zhang Junsheng meant, hesitated for a moment, and struck while the iron was hot: "I can guarantee that after the merger of Summit Entertainment and Ke Lighting Entertainment, they will operate separately and share the distribution..."

"The distribution channel in Europe has been formed, and Asia is handed over to me, so what do you have to hesitate about?"

Chris finally said his biggest scruples: "I'm worried that you will transfer funds to supplement the other side..."

"Haha... You can rest assured that Summit Entertainment and Lighting Entertainment including Lucas Cinema Line, I won't move!"

Withdrawing funds, he can figure it out...

Zhang Junsheng added: "Before I win DreamWorks Animation, I won't just withdraw funds!"

“… Walter DreamWorks Anime?

Chris took a deep look at Zhang Junsheng, probably thinking that this should be a bad pen...

DreamWorks Animation is a listed company, with a market value of about 2.2 billion US dollars, and all the industries in Zhang Junsheng's North America combined, no more than 800 million...

"You have to have a dream..."

Zhang Junsheng smiled disapprehantly.

"Chris, you probably don't know, Mr. Zhang invested in Uber in June this year, when Uber was just established, and now Uber's valuation has reached $1.2 billion, and his investment has benefited fivefold!"

Tian Xiaopeng glanced at Chris Meledandley and said lightly.

“…”

Chris looked at Zhang Junsheng in surprise, and then asked a seemingly unrelated question: "Why did you give up YouTube?"
