847 Movies Are the Dragon's Head

Don's words can be regarded as a clarification of his intentions.

In the future, in a few years, when Kevin Feige is mature enough, Nina Jacobson will have to step down and make way for Xian.

Put the power of Marvel Studios in the hands of Kevin Feige.

Back then, when Don poached Nina Jacobson...... Marvel Studios is just a small temple, but Nina Jacobson is a big Buddha!

During her years in Hollywood, she first served as vice president of production at Universal Pictures, and then as director of production at DreamWorks, and then ...... She joined Disney and became Vice President of Production at Disney Bowell Pictures.

When Marvel Studios was first founded, it was a time period when superheroes were dead.

Nina Jacobson voluntarily succumbed and took great career risks to join Marvel Studios, which can be described as a great sacrifice.

And then...... Marvel Studios took off.

ushered in a new era of manga movies.

Now, Marvel Studios is in full swing, and the first movie "The Avengers", where heroes are assembled, is also about to start preparing for filming.

Don said at this time that Kevin Feige would succeed him in the future.

How does this make her?

Done's explanation didn't work, and Nina Jacobson turned pale and looked at Donn in disbelief, as if she had never known this person before.

There is a devilish feeling.

Don couldn't help but laugh, "What kind of eyes are you, you don't really think I'm going to treat you badly, do you?"

Nina Jacobson was silent, staring at him.

She needed more reasons.

Tang En was helpless, so he said bluntly: "This is also a company secret, don't spread it." Bill's Job ...... He is a little old and a little unable to keep up with the development needs of the new Universal Film and Television Department. I've always had an ideal candidate in mind – Alan Horn. ”

Nina Jacobson's eyes widened.

She really didn't expect that Donn was thinking about firing Bill McNick!

This is a company veteran who is more senior than her.

Hey?

Wait a minute!

Alan Horn?

Isn't that the president of Warner Bros.

Donn said: "There is a great difference between Barry Mayer and Alan Horn in the concept of comic movies, and the top management of Time Warner is obviously more inclined to Barry Mayer. The fiasco of "Catwoman" is the result of this internal power struggle. ”

"Well, Meyer and Horn...... The disagreement is not small, it has been many years. Nina Jacobson nodded.

In the 90s, Alan Horn was the president of Warner Bros.

Under his leadership, Warner Bros. was Hollywood's most outstanding studio in the 90s!

50-60 movies can be produced every year!

It's comparable to the big studio era back then.

Of course, in addition to Alan Horn, the president, there is another major contributor - CEO Terry Messer.

Later, when Yahoo encountered a bubble crisis, it poached CEO Terry Messer from Warner Bros. and hired him as Yahoo's CEO, in an attempt to let him lead Yahoo out of the predicament.

The position of CEO of Warner Bros. was vacated.

At that time, the most vocal was Alan Horn!

As a result, Time Warner Group directly parachuted down a CEO, that is, Barry Meyer.

He represents the will of the top of the group.

The meaning of Time Warner Group is very clear, that is, it hopes that Barry Mayer can lead Warner Bros. to develop according to the group's program, rather than simply being responsible for the interests of Warner Bros.

Time Warner is full of factions and fierce competition.

For example, a Warner Bros. movie, which is streaming on HBO, wants to be free?

Want to buy the copyright at a low price?

How many more times do you want to play it after buying the copyright?

The will of the group headquarters is useless, everything is done in accordance with market standards, all TV stations compete together, whoever bids high, will give it to whom!

In doing so, it is naturally in the interests of Warner Bros.

After all, Alan Horn is only the president of Warner Bros. and has nothing to do with HBO.

However, from the perspective of Time Warner's headquarters, this is too much of a jerk.

Isn't this for selfish interests and affecting the overall situation of the company?

In this sense, it is also normal that Time Warner did not choose Alan Horn, but parachuted Barry Meyer.

However, Alan Horn is a real filmmaker and a big man in the Hollywood industry.

His roots in Warner Bros. and circles are incomparably strong.

Even if Barry Meyer is the CEO, in the first few years, he can only hold back honestly.

The production of Warner Bros. films has always been firmly in the hands of Alan Horn.

Until...... Marvel Studios is slowly rising!

The spring of manga movies has arrived.

As a DC on the same level as Marvel, there must be a breakthrough!

This is the highest decision of Time Warner Group!

DC Pictures only launched movies, but it can greatly increase the group's performance and revenue from all directions.

Because movies are the leader!

Although the box office market of the film is not large, the peripheral copyright and derivative copyright of the film, as well as the brand value and added value driven by it, are the core pillars of the media empire!

The data is proof of this, take Disney as an example. (Because Disney industry integration is the best, Time Warner has too many factions within it, and there is a lack of a CEO as strong as Michael Eisner.) Data from 2015 were used. )

Disney has five business segments: Film & Television Entertainment, Consumer Products, Interactive Entertainment, Tourism & Resort, and TV & Media.

In the income of the film and television entertainment department, film production and distribution ...... That is, the box office revenue of the movie, accounting for about 25%.

However, it is important to know that Disney's five major business units account for revenue as follows: Film & Television Entertainment (14%), Consumer Goods (8%), Interactive Entertainment (2%), Travel & Resort (31%), and TV & Media (45%).

The data says best about the power of cinema!

The box office of movies, as well as the revenue from peripheral channels such as videotapes, subscription on demand, TV broadcasts, and paid videos, only accounted for 14% of Disney's total revenue. (Peripheral income)

In addition, the retail sales department related to movies generated 8% of the value, the interactive entertainment department related to film-related publications and game adaptations generated 2% of the value, and the tourism and vacation department related to film images generated 31% of the value. (Derivative Income)

Even the TV media department...... Also be deeply influenced by the movie.

The more successful the movie, the higher the brand value and fame of the company, and the audience naturally likes to watch more well-known TV stations.

It can be seen that all industries in the media empire, in the final analysis, must rely on the core business at the grassroots level - movies!

If you make $1 at the box office, you earn $30 for the group of companies!

Superhero movies with great development value of peripheral copyright and derivative copyright will create a higher profit ratio!

The success of Marvel movies made Time Warner very jealous.

The group's top management is desperate to hope that DC Pictures can also launch a grand superhero movie project.

However, Alan Horn is not trusted by the group's top management.

In the 90s, Warner Bros., under the impetus of Alan Horn, made a series of superhero movies, which failed one after another, which directly led to the death of the comic book movie.

If it weren't for the later appearance of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men", comic movies would still be a big forbidden area.

That's when Barry Meyer stepped up.

He said that he would take responsibility and lead the big plan of DC Comic to change the movie!

You know, filmmaking has always been Alan Horn's power, this is grabbing power.

It is only natural that the contradictions are becoming more and more acute.

Last year, the success of "Batman" gave Barry Mayer great confidence and more courage to suppress Alan Horn.

Then, this year, there was a foreign appearance.

"Catwoman" became a big joke.

Human relationships are like this, when they are successful, contradictions can be masked.

If you fail, it will erupt like a volcano!

The conflict between Alan Horn and Barry Meyer has been rumored in the industry.

The senior management of Time Warner's headquarters is also coming forward to mediate and mediate.

Don knew that the opportunity had come.

I'm afraid that it won't take a year or two, and without him taking the initiative to provoke and pull together, Alan Horn will automatically leave Warner Bros.

Donn's statement shocked Nina Jacobson, "You mean...... Let Mr. Horn take the helm of New Universal's film and television entertainment department?"

"That's what I mean!"

"So what does this have to do with my position?"

Don smiled slightly, "Have you forgotten? Bill has a position in addition to being the CEO of the film and television entertainment department. ”

Nina Jacobson thought for a moment.

Bill McNick has held a number of positions, such as Vice Chairman of the Creative Committee, member of the Management Committee, and Director of the Group...... Wait a minute!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, her face changed, and she blurted out: "It's the CEO of Down Pictures!"

The current New Globe Group is a company for its children and grandchildren...... There are more than 1,200 of them all over the world.

Which company has the highest specifications?

It's not Marvel Studios, it's not Universal Pictures, it's not Pixar, it's not Dolby Labs, it's not Dolby Labs, it's not STA......

It's Don Pictures!

The chairman of Tang En Pictures is personally suspended by Tang En!

The CEO of Down Pictures is concurrently served by Bill McNick, CEO of the Film and Television Entertainment Division!

Since the reorganization of New Universal Group, the development strategy of Down Pictures has changed, and the main promotion is popular movies!

Films with an investment of less than $100 million, Donn Pictures will not take over!

Nina Jacobson seems to have figured out Done's intentions.

I couldn't help but flush with excitement.

Tang En smiled, "I said, I won't treat any meritorious veterans badly. Even if Bill steps down from his position as CEO of the Entertainment Division, he will be promoted to Vice President of the Group, helping to manage the relationship between the Entertainment Division and the Television Media Division. As for the position of CEO of Down Pictures that has been vacated after his departure...... This position is very important, and I would prefer to be a meritorious veteran to take over. ”

Nina Jacobson took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "I see. ”

(In the chapter review area, there are many friends who don't know the strength of the movie.) Some people say that Nintendo sold all over the world back then, and the money it made was not comparable to that of Hollywood combined, which means that games are more profitable than movies. The first sentence is true, and the latter sentence is wrong. In the 80s, Nintendo made so much money, except for the yen exchange rate, the fundamental reason was that it was the era of the rise of Japanese manufacturing, and Nintendo sold handheld game consoles. Nintendo makes money based on hardware manufacturing, not game content. The former is the manufacturing industry, which is the secondary industry, and the latter is the service industry, which is the tertiary industry, which is not comparable. If you really compare movies and games...... That would be too bullying. The biggest game company in the world is Penguin right now, even if you add up the annual revenue of the 10 largest game companies in the world...... It's not as good as a Disney. )
