Ichizawa kawaki of Sony Group
He's here. Does Zhuk want to see you?
Originally, Zucker didn't plan to see him, just let Alexander deal with it, but after thinking about it, Zucker still did. After all, the other party has come, and he can't say that he will cooperate with Sony in the future.
"Good morning, Mr. kawaki. Welcome."
Zucker shook hands with him.
After seeing Zhuke, kawaki Yize immediately bowed deeply again: "Mr. Wald, please give me more advice."
This is the etiquette of the little devil.
"Mr. Chuanmu, I know a lot about your country. I don't know what's the matter with you this time?" Zucker is not going to waste time.
Hearing the speech, kawaki said immediately: "Mr. Wald, since you speak fast, I'll get to the point. It is said that the Wald film library under your name now owns more than 2000 film copyrights, and Sony Group is currently the largest manufacturer and seller of DVD players and DVD discs in the world. "
Zhuke frowned: "you mean..."
In the heart of a spirit, Zhuke roughly guessed the other party's intention.
"That's right!"
"At present, the main producers in the global DVD player and DVD market are Sony Group and Toshiba group. If Sony Group wants to do more and gain more market share, the most important thing is to have more film library copyright," kawaki said
"Your company has a film library of more than 2000 films, which naturally deserves our Sony's attention."
"We'll pay a lot for that!"
Zhuke said to himself.
As a traverser, Zucker knows that in the future, Sony has won over many Hollywood film companies, formed a blu ray alliance, and launched a long-lasting DVD format battle with Toshiba group's HD alliance.
This time-consuming battle, but let the whole Hollywood position turbulence.
No film company has been spared, because there are huge benefits in it.
In terms of the current North American market:
Sony's DVD player, a unit price of 199 ~ 399 U.S. dollars, generally up to 600 U.S. dollars;
One DVD, priced from $7 to $12;
The North American market has hundreds of millions of users, and the benefits are not hard to imagine
What's more, the "DVD Blu ray" format developed and manufactured by Sony Group with clearer discrimination is undoubtedly the top level in the market, and the price of a disc can reach $35.
With the release of Blu ray DVD format, the price of each DVD increases by $20, and the benefits are undoubtedly even greater. It's no exaggeration to say that this is a huge market with trillions of dollars, and everyone involved can get huge benefits.
Since ancient times, wealth and silk have moved people's hearts!
"In other words, Sony Group wants to get the license of Wald pictures' film library?" Said Zucker.
"Yes."
Kawaki is outspoken.
"There are more than 2000 movies in our library, and the price you have to pay is not a small amount," chucker said
"100 million dollars!"
Kawaki said immediately: "100 million dollars, or more! As long as we can get your authorization, we can pay a higher price at all costs. "
Hiss~
Even a rich man like Zhuke is shocked by Sony's big money at the moment.
Sony is so rich!
However, Zhuke still refused!
......
"Why?"
Kawaki Yize looked at Zhuke who had refused in disbelief, and quickly asked: "Mr. Wald, you should know that the authorization fee of 100 million US dollars of your company is just the beginning, and the future sales dividend can also bring you a huge return. Why do you choose to refuse?"
"Ha ha!"
Zhuke laughed: "Sony is indeed the largest manufacturer and seller of DVD players and DVD discs in the world, but don't forget that Toshiba, Sony's rival, is equally powerful. I believe its price will not be low. What do you say? "
Kawaki Ichizawa
Shop around~
Sony wants to license the film library of Wald pictures, and Toshiba, which is determined to have more market share, is naturally willing to pay more money.
Promise Sony now?
100 million dollars?
Zhuke is confident that he can get more money in return. Don't worry now!
......
In an hour.
CEO Victor enters Zucker's office.
"Boss, I've learned that kawaki Ichizawa, a Japanese, has been in contact with as many as 12 film companies in the 20th century, such as fox, Disney and paramount, in recent days. Naturally, the purpose is also for the film libraries of major film companies."
Said Victor.
Zhuke nodded: "these little devils are really powerful in business. If you take one step, you'll see three steps. The most important thing is that they have a lot of money."
Victor can't help shaking his face, exclaiming: "now they are crazy to buy the film library copyright even before the latest DVD format is developed, which shows how rich they are."
Sony is rich, of course.
Well, it's the super rich one!
In 2004, Sony paid more than $600 million for the licensing of nearly 3800 films in paramount library;
In 2007, in order to win the competition with Toshiba HD for DVD format, Sony paid more than US $3 billion to directly acquire MGM pictures, which is almost empty shell;
Also, there's the DreamWorks library.
The number of film copyrights is only as much as that of the DreamWorks Library of 250 films. In order to win it, Sony directly offered a price of more than 130 million US dollars;
Toshiba followed, offering a price of $135 million.
"The monk can't touch me?"
Zhuke said in his heart, "although Wald pictures has more than 2000 films under my name, most of the film copyrights belong to the category of worthless and rubbish; However, "Spider Man", "Harry Potter" and other film licensing, but belong to a very valuable category of copyright
"100 million dollars, what is it?"
"I will not sell it for two or three years without a price of $400 million!"
......
In the next few days, Hollywood is very busy!
Sony and Toshiba have visited major film companies one after another, and the successive offers have all made major film companies flock to them.
3ã Four line film companies, facing millions, tens of millions of prices, how can they resist?
One by one, they agreed without hesitation.
However, DreamWorks, touchstone, searchlight, Lion Gate, Emperor gate
These second tier film companies are a lot more cunning. Although Sony and Toshiba's offer was attractive, they held back.
Refuse;
Wait and see;
It became the attitude of these film companies.
Top Hollywood giants like Disney, paramount, Universal Pictures and 20th century fox are in no hurry.
You can ask for $100 million now, and you can ask for $300 million, $500 million or more in the future!
