Two days later.
In a hotel suite in London.
"Boss, the director of the original chef program, just called to tell us that the program you participated in will be broadcast on ITV variety channel 1 at 8pm next Wednesday." Alexander said respectfully.
"Next Wednesday? Our movie "Nemo" will be released in the UK next Friday. Well, it's just in time Zucker thought for a moment.
Why are you on a variety show?
It's just to promote the film. Otherwise, why should Zhu Ketang's 10 billion dollar rich go to battle in person? Just like Bell's "survival in the wilderness" in many programs, why so many stars and dignitaries appear on the screen is also for publicity.
"Those vampires, how many people are at the party tonight?" Asked Zucker.
Alexander was clear and said immediately, "according to the feedback received so far, 13 people will attend tonight's banquet."
"Ha ha!"
"These guys are really deceiving me to be young," Chuck said with a sneer! 27 invitations were sent out, and only 13 people attended. Tut Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut
Alexander echoed: "capital is greedy!"
Withholding and delinquency of box office will be divided into 110 million US dollars;
As much as US $13 million in ink money;
A group of overseas distributors cooperating with Wald pictures are totally unscrupulous, lying on Zhuke's body and sucking blood.
How can Zhuke tolerate it?
Moreover, Zhuke has compromised twice, reducing the share ratio twice in a row.
Overseas box office share dropped from 33% to 31%;
Then it dropped to 30%.
Although the two operations only reduced the share by 3%, the total box office of several films released by Wald pictures is more than 1 billion US dollars. A 3% reduction in revenue would be equivalent to a $30 million profit for Wald pictures;
This compromise price is really not small!
What's more, Wald pictures and them also made a lot of profits in terms of peripheral product sales and peripheral licensing, with the amount of profits not less than 20 million US dollars.
"I've made a profit of 50 million dollars, but there's no bottom line for their greed."
"One, two, no more!"
"Alexander, believe it or not, if we don't be tough this time, they will force us to give in again. It will not be a $50 million at that time."
Zhu Keqiang held back his anger.
Alexander sighed, "boss, you're right. In fact, let alone Wald pictures, which is as strong as Hollywood's top six, has no less than 20 lawsuits against a number of overseas distributors every year. In July 1998, fox pictures and Paramount Pictures sued the film dealers and distributors in Britain, France and Germany for $130 million because of the box office revenue of Titanic
What a mess!
Zhuke murmured a few words in his heart.
It's not uncommon for Hollywood to suffer from such bullshit as box office share.
Production companies, directors and actors;
Production company and distributor;
Production company and cinema side;
Issuers and local American cinema lines;
The distributor and the cinema line and channel providers of overseas countries and regions;
.......
The frequency of economic lawsuits is endless!
7 p.m.
"Zweili" restaurant in London.
At the moment, in a small banquet hall that can accommodate 50 people, there are more than a dozen brightly dressed people, male or female, old or young, chatting in groups.
"Mr. Juan, your business has been more and more prosperous since you left Madrid, Spain. I really envy you!" Said demata, a film maker from Denmark.
"Mr. de maita, you are too modest. As far as I know, the performance of your film peripheral industries in Denmark and Norway this year is enough to make many people ashamed." Williams Juan, a Spanish businessman, laughed.
"Ha ha!"
A 20-year-old brunette from Rome, Italy, came up with a glass and said with a smile, "good evening, Mr. Juan and Mr. demetta."
Juan frowned: "Miss, who are you?"
Williams Juan, from Spain, doesn't know the brunette, while dematta, a Danish businessman, knows her.
"Mr. Juan, I'd like to introduce you to this beautiful woman, miss belika cassinder, who is the second daughter of Raymond cassinder, the second largest individual shareholder of redu group." Said demetta.
Redu group?
The full name is Binuo · spring · leidu group!
Hearing the speech, Williams Juan immediately brightened his eyes and said hello.
There may be some people who don't know about redu group, but when it comes to its brands, it is absolutely well known by many people.
Gucci, palishijia, Zhibai, Puma and other brands are the sub brands of leidu group.
Founded in 1963 and renamed Kaiyun group in 2005, Redu group is one of the European luxury giant companies. Together with Louis Vuitton group, Hermes group and Richemont group, Redu group is known as the four European luxury giant companies.
By 2020, all of the four luxury giant enterprises have a market value of more than 150 billion US dollars!
There is no doubt that the 13 people invited here today are all big businessmen and entrepreneurs who are rich or expensive. None of them is worth less than US $100 million.
"Baron Tobit!"
"Old Mr. Tobit!"
"Here you are, Baron!"
Just at this moment, the little old man, Baron Tobit, who was bent but looked like a torch, appeared. Therefore, the whole audience's eyes were all focused on him.
His wealth may not be the most among the people present, but his interpersonal relationship is definitely the strongest among all the people.
"Mr. Zucker Wald, are you here?" Asked old Tobit.
"How can we get there now?" said Juan? He's a super rich man with a fortune of 10 billion. Don't you have to hold on to his airs? "
"That's disgusting
Danish businessman de maita said: "Baron Tobit has arrived. As the master, he asked all of us to wait for him. Ha ha, it's disrespectful!"
For a moment, many people present showed dissatisfaction.
Only belika cassinder, the second daughter of the cassinder family, gave a mysterious smile.
"Boss, they have a point." The little secretary next to belika frowned.
"Ha ha, what do you know?" Belika said faintly.
Dong!
Just then, the door of the small ballroom was pushed open again.
"Who is it?" I said? Who says I don't respect others? "
Yes, our classmate Zhu Ketai is here.
The second watch is on.
