"Prairie King", a hand-painted 2D movie, finally landed in North America at US$3.31 million, which is a bit higher than another movie from the original time and space. The global box office reached US$10.11 billion, which is tens of millions higher than those of other movies. , and is the first animated film to exceed US$[-] million in North America, and the first animated film to exceed US$[-] billion.Global entertainment has made huge profits this time. Similarly, Blue Star Pictures, which is only famous in Southeast Asia, has also become famous around the world.
This movie was also released in mainland China and achieved very good box office results. However, the box office in mainland China was not accurate at this time. This has historical reasons and is also related to the social environment. Li Bu said that [-] RMB for a copy is very reasonable.
In addition to breaking the record at the box office, the movie also sold peripheral products, which was ten times the box office and reached tens of billions of dollars. Among them, the original soundtrack of "Prairie King" exceeded 1000 million copies, and the sales of tapes were even more impressive. The number was even higher, reaching 3000 million. Tapes were cheaper, but the profit was no less than records because of the large volume.
These peripherals are produced by factories in Xiangjiang and Mainland China, and the labor costs are so cheap that they are suspicious of life. However, after several hands, they are handed over to dealers, leaving them with a profit of 20%. This is also the profit of normal peripherals, but they don’t know it. Yes, what are these factory costs.
In the old recycling small business center, the audio and video tapes and peripherals here are also produced in Hong Kong and mainland China. With an annual turnover of tens of billions and only a 10% gross profit, they have made a lot of money.
This is the basic operation of Li Bu's film and television entertainment company. It is very mature and has been in operation for more than ten years.
An animated film's revenue exceeds more than [-]% of that of a listed company. Not only are outsiders jealous, but insiders are so popular that they can breathe fire.
Michael from Fuchs was also discussing this matter at the board meeting. When everyone was discussing how to enter the animation industry, Michael said: "We don't have the talent to make animations now, but there are none. We either have to spend money to recruit or spend money to make animations." Money is needed to buy existing animation studios. We already have MC Comics, which has great inherent advantages, but now we are short of animation studios."
"Mr. Michael, since you have put forward your opinion, do you have any goals?" This director is a staunch supporter of Fuchs. In the last round of board exits, he was the only one who stayed and refused to do anything. What can be done if the shares are sold? Of course, there will be no dividends, and the group's debts are still increasing. These debts are mainly due to the acquisition of many film companies, with the purpose of increasing the company's film sources and film production talents.
With the addition of these people, Fuchs produced thirty films a year. The profits generated by these films basically allowed the company to operate normally and repay the interest on the debt.
"We already have a target and are in contact, but the other party is a bit difficult to deal with." Michael shrugged. He has a gentle personality. He also discussed with everyone at the meeting that among all the six major companies, Fuchs's board of directors is currently the most harmonious.
"For confidentiality reasons, it cannot be announced for the time being, but the other party is not a particularly famous company."
After the meeting, Michael returned to the office and received a call from someone from a consulting company. They specialize in helping acquire companies.
"Hi, President Michael, we have already negotiated with the other party, and the price is now stuck at US$5000 million, which is quite different from the US$3000 million you requested." The other party said apologetically.
"You continue to be in contact with the other party. We can discuss the price. I need to raise some funds." Michael said feebly.
The other party understood what the financial sponsor meant. They were looking for a big scapegoat. An animation studio like this, which had only input but no output, wanted 5000 million US dollars. It was really... this Fuchs was also a grievance.
Michael pressed a pager, and immediately, an assistant appeared in his office. He was a young Japanese-American man. He said to the young man: "Andy, please contact Silicon Valley Bank. We want to acquire a high-tech company." Enterprises want to borrow some money for acquisitions.”
"Okay, President." After hearing Michael's order, the other party immediately contacted the bank. The matter soon came to Li Bu's desk.
He knew that Fuchs's action was a signal. He picked up the phone and contacted Blue Star Pictures.
A few days later, Blue Star Pictures and Fox cooperated to jointly invest US$500 million each to acquire Pixar Animation Studio for US$5000 million.
In 1986, Qiao Gangzhu acquired the computer animation department of Industrial Light and Magic for US$1000 million and established pxs animation studio.This computer animation studio has not produced any results in the past six years. Joe has been helping to support it. He has long been willing to take action. The US$5000 million is not much of the money he has invested in these years.
This animation studio not only has its own creative concepts in computer animation, but is also innovative in hardware and software. Therefore, this is a technology company, yes, it is a technology company.
After the contract was signed, 5000 million US dollars went to Gang Leader Qiao's account at Silicon Valley Bank. Silicon Valley Bank's external slogan is that it is the own bank for high-tech startups.
After Gang Leader Qiao was kicked out of Apple, he left a share of Apple's stock to receive Apple's financial statements. This shows that the other party is still obsessed with Apple.
In the past few years, Apple has been plagued by negative news, which has caused its stock price to plummet. The market value is now less than $[-] million, which has dropped too much. Now, he is preparing to acquire Apple's stock, looking for opportunities, and rebuilding Back to Apple's board of directors.
After pxs was acquired, all the original staff were retained. The two major shareholders injected another sum of money to update the computer hardware of the studio, such as display chips from the Entrepreneurship Park, faster CPU chips, and larger memory. , a better display.
Everyone feels that being acquired is not a bad thing, and the working environment is as relaxed as ever, but there are more people here, and they are apprentices.
A representative from Blue Star Pictures said: "In the future, our pxs will be a great computer animation production company, and it will naturally have corresponding personnel to improve animation production efficiency."
The original management and staff were all tech nerds, so they naturally liked such flattery.
"In the future, after Pixar goes public, you will receive equity rewards."
The last words caused cheers from these technology nerds!
As for a salary increase?Don't be kidding, these guys don't have any works yet.
