Chapter 352: Universal Movies Arrives
After Wu Zhiyuan went back, he immediately typed a report and went up.
At the headquarters of Universal Music in the United States, in a small office, Universal President Emilia frowned and looked at the materials in front of her.
"Tell me what you think, Alan, David."
"Arrogance." Standing in front of Emilia, a woman in fiery red clothes sneered, "A small record from Huaxia, who hasn't even gone internationally, actually wants to cooperate with our Universal Music, and wants us to hand over to the parent company Vivendi, except for arrogance, I don't know what words to use." β
"Alan." David, dressed in an Armani suit, chuckled, "Don't be so impulsive, although his company is a little smaller than our Universal, it is also a prince in the record industry, albeit only a small prince." β
"But it's only been two years to be able to get to this point, and a person like him can be considered a talent."
"And most importantly, it's really a big benefit for us."
David has always been profit-oriented, "It's just to help talk about it, it's not a big deal, it doesn't matter to us whether it succeeds or not." β
As for not saying it, he didn't think about it.
This kind of thing does not involve big interests, there is no need to put your reputation into it, the business circle is very small, and many things cannot be concealed at all.
"After all, he has been a great help to our expansion in Asia, and you know, since the reintegration of the Asia-Pacific record market, the Asia-Pacific market has become the second largest market in the world, after the Americas."
"That's our new profit growth point."
The global market has already been carved up, and there are few benefits from deep mining. It's better to open up new markets, and now, the restructuring of the Asia-Pacific market has given them hope.
Although for a record label of their level. The entertainment paradise in Li Lin's hands is not the only channel, but it is also good for them to have one more channel.
This is how the channel is established in the accumulation bit by bit.
Half-ringing, Alan retorted, "Help? Is this a help? Apply to the parent company and then go to work with Universal Films, which is about to leave Vivendi? β
"I think it's ridiculous."
"And his own actions are too reckless, the so-called talent is a scumbag in my eyes."
"The word scum is misnomer. Allan. Emilia frowned and said, "Logically, this request is in our favor. β
"No matter what the parent company Vivendi answers, and no matter how Coca-Cola handled the deal when it took over Universal Pictures."
"For us. It's a huge deal, and the only question is whether we need to escalate his request to the parent company, Vivendi. β
"I don't want to be upset by the board guys."
"And Coca-Cola, and they probably don't want a twist or turn in Universal Films, which is being acquired, for better or for worse. An An's steady acquisition of Universal Films. That's what they think. β
"We're disrupting Coca-Cola's action, and I'm afraid it's not good for us either."
Emilia spoke her mind.
This may seem like a lucrative one, but in fact it is very risky, and the risk mainly comes from the Coca-Cola Company.
The global beverage giant has been expanding its brand, and Universal Music has a large part of its business with the other party, and they need to consider whether submitting this report to its parent company, Vivendi, will anger Coca-Cola.
Don't look at the fact that they and Universal Pictures belong to the same parent company Vivendi, but they don't have much to do with each other. Internal competition, pulling each other's legs has not been less.
If it is because of the submission of this report, Vivendi, the parent company, has raised the offer. Coca-Cola must not hate them to death, when the time comes, their business will be affected, the year-end profit will decline, and what awaits them is probably the scolding of Vivendi's parent company.
As for the help that once came, no kidding, who will remember that.
"But it's good for our expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, isn't it?" David is still talking about his own interests," Li ...... Li holds the only promotional channel in China, and once we reach a strategic cooperation with them, the business of the Southeast Asia branch will develop rapidly. β
"And don't you think it's a great idea to bring our big-name singers to China?"
"China is an important part of the world, and although we have taken the initiative to divide the market because of language, it is also possible that the charm of music can transcend language."
"With his help, our European and American artists may be able to go to China for a walk, and you know that the recent European and American music scene is not very prosperous."
After the debut of digital music, the singer's album sales have declined year by year, and even the endorsement fee has decreased a lot, many singers have a very light life, and even many singers are considering whether to change careers to become actors.
While movies have also been hit by on-demand technology, at least not as devastating as digital music has had on albums.
In the past, tens of millions of copies were sold in the local market, but now it is already burning high incense to break 10 million.
Of course, they don't know that it won't be long before the music market in the United States will completely collapse, and the annual sales champion will be only three or four million copies.
This is the general trend, and no one can change it.
"But for the sake of him directly, do we risk possibly offending Coca-Cola to make a report?" Alan frowned.
"That's the disagreement." Emilia felt a headache, "The people below really have a headache with a multiple-choice question. β
"It would be nice if I didn't have to choose."
"Is there a difference between not choosing and giving up?" David smiled softly, "And Coca-Cola may not be angry, maybe they will be happy." β
"In the global market, Coca-Cola has pressed Pepsi."
"But in the Chinese market, Coca-Cola and Pepsi are evenly matched, and I've heard that their own beverage companies are on the rise."
"If Universal Films can really cooperate with Li Lin to develop IMAX-3D movies, and he can take the initiative to provide theatrical support, it will be a good profit growth point for Universal Films."
"That's how our little friend came to us, hoping that our parent company Vivendi would cooperate with him and ask Universal to cooperate with him in the development of the IMAX-3D film market."
Cooperation is a plan, and Universal Films is about to be sold by Vivendi to Coca-Cola, simply put, Vivendi does not pay anything, just needs to put this cooperation into the process, as for how the Coca-Cola company will choose, this has nothing to do with Vivendi.
"I'll give it to Vivendi." Emilia thought for a while, but still agreed, and between a clear profit growth point and a possible loss of benefits, he chose a clear profit growth point.
"President, your decision is wise." David smiled softly.
Soon, Universal Music sent the report to Vivendi, and Vivendi directly chose to agree, anyway, Universal Films is about to be sold to Coca-Cola, and the so-called right not to expire and invalidate, the French are not so stupid.
When Coca-Cola took over Universal Films, they immediately inventoried all the projects, and then they found the project.
"IMAX - 3D movie?"
Finkelstein, the newly appointed president of Universal Films, looked at the project and was slightly surprised, "What's going on with this project?" Why does Universal have such a project? β
IMAX-3D movies, a film technology that is not very prosperous in the market at present, whether it is the number of IMAX theaters or the quality of IMAX-3D movies, it is not enough to develop it on a large scale, but why does Universal have such a project? You know, the cost of IMAX-3D movie shooting is not low.
"President Finkelstein, this is a project that was forced down by Vivendi when Universal Films was still in Vivendi's hands, but for this project, the company's senior management was divided into two sides and had a heated discussion." Finkelstein's assistant said softly.
"Vivendi?" Finkelstein's eyes froze, and then he opened the project book, and soon, he was attracted to it, "It's actually a cooperation with Huaxia's Gold Medal Pictures." β
"Huaxia's Gold Medal Pictures provides IMAX theaters, and Universal Pictures is responsible for supplying films, I'm curious, what kind of company is this Gold Medal Pictures Company?"
Finkelstein wondered.
The project book is very good, with the gold medal film industry from Huaxia providing the theater chain, and the Hollywood giant providing the source of IMAX-3D movies.
This is very advantageous for Universal Films.
Although Universal Movies is one of the Hollywood giants, they lack their own media system and channels, and their strength ranks last among the Hollywood giants.
If it is really possible to start the shooting tide of IMAX-3D movies in cooperation with Gold Medal Pictures next year, as written in the number of projects, this is also very good for Universal.
But this premise is that Gold Pictures has enough ability.
One ability is to build IMAX theaters, you must know that the construction cost of IMAX theaters is extremely high, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it, and the second is that they have enough strength to lobby China Film to introduce their IMAX-3D movies.
The Chinese market is not open, and the introduction of ten films a year makes Hollywood film companies break their heads, everyone knows that the global film market is declining now, if there is no new film market for them to explore, I am afraid that their life will be difficult.
But the introduction quota of the ten ministries stuck them.
"Sue the people of SΓΉ Gold Pictures, we will investigate him at Universal, and then we will evaluate whether this project will start."
"Seriously, Vivendi Company made us a joke that was not big or small, this bait is not eaten, and it is not eaten, it is really a headache." (To be continued......)
