    morning

    Dreamworks

    ? VIP Reception Hall

    The position on the second floor is condescending, and through the wide windows, you can see the studio not far away, and the busy prop masters and assistants are moving the set.

    This morning, it was DreamWorks' annual board meeting, and almost all the heavyweight shareholders were present.

    ?As the chairman of the 49% holding, Wang Yaocheng naturally cannot be absent from the board of directors. Although he will return to China across the ocean in the afternoon, he still finds time to attend this important meeting.

    There are still more than ten minutes in the time, and the board of directors has not yet started. In the separate VIP VIP room

    ? DreamWorks President and Executive Director Jeffrey Katzenberg sat and chatted with the famous director Mr. Spielberg, superstar Schwarzenegger, and chairman Wang Yaocheng.

    "Congratulations! Boss King, Marvel Studios did a good job in 1996. "Blade Warrior 2" and "Ace Powers 2" performed exceptionally well at the box office, especially "Blade Warrior 2" made people shine.  The box office is even more popular, earning 221 million U.S. dollars, and the word-of-mouth far exceeds that of the first film."

    Arnold Schwarzenegger sincerely praised; "The director and production team from Xiangjiang did a great job, and the picture of the film also broke away from the dark gothic style and became brighter, especially the action fighting is very exciting.  A very good film."

    "The box office of "Ace Powers" is also good. The production team from Hong Kong is impressive, and it is indeed very capable." Director Spielberg's evaluation is very weighty.

    "Thank you for the compliment, they really did a good job."

    Wang Yaocheng is quite satisfied with the officers he has selected, and after a few more years of training, they will be of great use. The glory of Marvel Animation is not far away.

    In 1996, the outstanding performance of Marvel Pictures drove the parent company Marvel Animation to get rid of the loss situation, and the annual profit was 130 million US dollars.

    Excellent financial position, also reflected in the stock market

    The stock price of Marvel Animation has soared, and its market value has reached 1.082 billion US dollars, ranking below the eight major Hollywood film companies and occupying the first place among second-tier film companies.

    It turned out that the New Line Film Company in this position was acquired by the old owner Time Warner Pictures in 1995, and the acquisition price was 550 million US dollars.

    Unfortunately, the answer sheet submitted by New Line Films in 1996 was not qualified.

    In the original history;

    Both "Blade Runner" and "Ace Powers" are the turnaround works of New Line Films, but unfortunately they are now awarded to Marvel Pictures, which has become a stepping stone for the rise of Marvel Pictures.

    Next step

    Marvel Pictures is preparing to invite Hong Kong star Cheng Long to shoot the action film "Rush Hour", which will be produced by a Hong Kong director and a team from all over China.

    At the same time, we are in contact with Chinese director Ang Lee to explore the possibility of further cooperation.

    Moreover, President Huang Baiming is preparing to shoot a series of hit horror movies "Death Comes", and the company's script library holds the right to adapt the script of "Lord of the Rings", all of which are New Line Films' future hit series.

    With this move, he vowed to block all the way up for New Line Films.

    Wang Yaocheng has never been a magnanimous person. The owner of New Line Film Company, Xie Yi, offended him severely. Then, don't blame the buddies for being too dark and cruel, and not leaving you a way out.

    Sure enough, history is still running according to the original track, and New Line Films had a big wave in 1996.

    At the beginning of 1996, CNN was acquired by Time Warner, and New Line was facing the fate of being abandoned by its "parents", at least as a small character who was not loved by grandma and uncle. The company owner Shay felt the crisis.

    In order to ensure a foothold in the big family of Time Warner and increase its own capital, New Line decided to become bigger and stronger, putting all its eggs in one basket and investing in big productions.

    It's a pity that the sky fails to fulfill the wishes of people

    The two major A-level productions "Super Satanist" and "Inside and Out of Town" released for this purpose suffered a mess, with a total loss of 170 million U.S. dollars. If Time Warner hadn't covered the bottom line, even grandma would not have known the compensation.

    Time Warner angrily gave Robert Shea an order:

    In the future, for productions with a budget of more than 50 million US dollars, Shay does not have the right to make the final decision.

    These crap things in Hollywood are really pleasing to hear and see.

    Wang Yaocheng: "DreamWorks did not do much in 1996. It only produced an A-level production "Spin City" and several small and medium-level films to test the water market. The box office response was mediocre. This is not in line with the standards of you big guys.  Now, is there any new plan for 1997?"

    President Jeffrey Katzenberg laughed; "It's normal, Mr. Chairman, ?Not showing off like this.

    There is nothing they can do. If anyone in the world can say such a thing, there is only the young richest man in the world in front of him, who can increase his wealth by hundreds of millions of dollars in a single sleep.

    Everyone has no temper, and everyone present is a top person in the world in their respective fields, but it is not enough to face such a guy who is defying the sky.

    Minutes turn into dregs, blows are unnecessary.

    "Okay, Boss King is our big sponsor and big backer. He only needs to be responsible for writing checks. What about you?"

    Jeffrey Katzenberg's soul torture is quite powerful, the implication is;

    If you have more money than the boss king, you can bring it up for consideration now, if not, the following things will be easy to handle.

    If you have money, you can contribute money, but if you don¡¯t have money, you can contribute effort. No bullshit.

    Director Spielberg can't sit still. He is also a major shareholder of DreamWorks, and it is his duty to change the current situation of DreamWorks.

    "After the board meeting, I went back to re-arrange the work plan for the whole year, and squeezed out time to shoot an A-level production for the company. "The Lockdown Rage" is a good script that shows the resistance of black slaves. I will try to shoot it by the end of the year.

    Now, I have an excellent script "Saving Private Ryan", ready to be shot in 1998. This is a war-themed film with a huge investment, with grand scenes and exciting plots, and it will be an explosive film.  "

    Mr. Spielberg's statement made everyone very satisfied. Arnold Schwarzenegger thought about it; "1997 is definitely not possible. In 1998, we will co-produce a film. I will ask the agent to keep the schedule as much as possible."

    "Okay, very good." Wang Yaocheng snapped his fingers happily; "My Athlon company cooperates with the Silicon Valley Laboratory to provide Pixar animation with the latest 3D computer equipment and software, which are powerful and are currently being used for production  Animated feature film A Bug's Life.

    I don't need to introduce Pixar animation, and it is now the leader in 3D animation films.

    The Animation Department of DreamWorks is currently producing "Ant Heroes", and I can also provide the latest 3D computer equipment and software. Healthy competition in the industry is welcome.

    One last statement, it's free.  "

    His speech won warm applause and unanimous applause, and everyone couldn't help complaining;

    So fucking rich, local tyrant!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
