Chapter 241 "The Fast and the Furious" aims to exceed 100 million! US dollars!(1/2)
In other words, Japan's music market is already quite prosperous, and the prosperity has also brought fierce competition.
However, when it comes to the hottest place in the music market, Japan is still not enough, and we have to say the United States.
Universal itself is losing money, but its parent company, the American Music Company, is doing great.
The abbreviation of this company is MCA, which can be translated as American Music Group, and they actually belong to the largest record group in the world, Universal Music Group.
And this company is the owner of Universal Pictures.
The relationship seems a bit complicated, but in fact, this Universal is not that Universal, the other is a movie company, and the movie company is just a subsidiary of the record company.
It's actually easy to understand.
Universal is big enough, and MCA belongs to the world's largest record group.
You can see how profitable it is to make music now.
However, the good days of record companies are coming to an end. The glory of the 1980s has come to the 1990s, although it is just the beginning, and it seems that it is not as good as before.
Ever since, mca wanted to sell its money-losing business.
Wasserman, the boss of MCA, is the true godfather of music in the United States today, but this guy is quite low-key.
When Takeshi Iwata came to Beverly Hills, he walked into a mansion covering an area of approximately thousands of square meters.
Zelman was wearing a pair of big pants, surrounded by several beauties of various races.
All bikinis.
Hey, those pants, a rope.
Fortunately, Teacher Yu didn't come, otherwise he would have been very surprised.
Takeshi Iwata just thought that Mr. Yu is singing in "Kaiba Dance Hall" right now.
Don't think about these things, business is more important.
"Hey! Director Iwata, please introduce yourself. I am Wasselman. You can call me Wa or you can call me Zelman. You can call me whatever you want. I know that you Orientals have more regular names. And
Now, we are in America and everything is free."
It is indeed very freeing.
This guy was naked from the waist up, only wearing a white pajamas. He was really free.
However, the other party extended his hand, and Takeshi Iwata knew that he had to hold it.
Americans and rich people are generally confident in this country, let alone guys like this.
The two big hands held each other very powerfully, which is actually a kind of etiquette.
"Mr. Zelman, let me call you that."
"Okay, whatever you want."
"I think you must be quite busy, so let's keep the story short."
Zelman is a wonderful man, but he is also a smart man. Listen, Takei Iwata said "I see".
Well, he saw that he was busy, how did he see it?
As a result, Zelman laughed loudly, hugged a beautiful woman in his arms, and said very naturally:
"Mr. Iwata, do you want a girl too?"
Takeshi Iwata smiled and shook his head, "I still want to talk about movies."
"Okay! It's really different!"
Zelman complimented her, showed her hands unscrupulously, and then let the beauty go.
This was a black pearl. When she was let go, she was a little unhappy and spat.
Zelman smiled again and patted Takeshi Iwata on the shoulder with the hand he had just rubbed.
"Your movie is great, I've heard from Barbara, and she said, what you want is to ensure a big release?"
"That's right."
Takeshi Iwata nodded, and under the leadership of Zelman, he came to the outside of the house.
There is a very spacious private swimming pool with more beauties in it.
It should be said that there are many obese people in the United States now, but not as many as in the future.
Right now, most of the beauties with good figures are probably gathered together... Oh, by the way, beauties are American women, don't think too much about it.
Takeshi Iwata didn't think much about it. He just discussed business with Zelman seriously.
"But... you are a director from Japan."
"Yes."
"Then, how can I trust you?"
"This means..."
"There is no precedent for Japanese directors to succeed in the North American film market, at least commercially."
"But I am confident in my movie, and many big directors and other companies are also very interested in it."
"I know that, but it's very difficult to deal with something that has no precedent before, you know?"
The two chatted like old friends, very easy-going, but in fact, there was almost no emotion in their chat.
It's all business!
Takeshi Iwata knew that this matter would not go so smoothly, but he was still somewhat prepared.
"So, what else does Mr. Zelman want? I personally think it shouldn't be particularly difficult for a movie to get a good schedule, right?"
Zelman smiled again, "Yes, it's really not that difficult. I believe Mr. Iwata is a smart man and will definitely understand what I mean."
Takeshi Iwata frowned, "How about you let me guess?"
"certainly."
"I heard that your company wants to sell Universal Pictures, and the most popular buyer right now is Japan's Panasonic, but this deal... won't have anything to do with me, right?"
"Haha... He is indeed a smart man, Mr. Iwata, you did not disappoint."
This guy Zelman was very proud, and Takeshi Iwata looked at his expression, and he was also very proud in his heart.
What's going on with these two people?
But Iwata Takeshi continued: "Mr. Zelman, Panasonic probably hasn't made up its mind yet. After all, this transaction involves billions of dollars."
"It's true. Such a big deal will naturally not be easy. But right now...it seems that there is no future benefit that everyone agrees with."
After Takeshi Iwata heard this, he already had a good idea... The layout he had made before was just in use now!
"I have an idea."
"Speaking."
Zelman raised his eyebrows.
Takeshi Iwata pointed at the swimming pool and said: "People all like to be happy, whether they are Americans or Japanese. Tokyo already has Disney, but Japan is a strange country. It is divided into Kanto and Kansai. Should Kansai
Is there also a large amusement park?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Is this a question?
"Haha..." Zelman was extremely happy, "Mr. Iwata, you are just a director, can you facilitate this?"
Takeshi Iwata knew this would happen!
That's right, the Yamamoto group's previous activities have already yielded results, and Panasonic is very interested in the Universal Studios plan.
However, there are still some small problems.
For example, if you really want to build a movie theater, what project should you build?
What does Universal have now?
What Takeshi Iwata knew was that there would be so much to do at Universal Studios.
Harry Potter, Transformers, Jurassic Park...
What now?
not a single one!
It's true, and some of the things are quite interesting.
Disney, this company is quite powerful. Let’s talk about their amusement park. How did they do it?
Many projects are also related to classic movies.
However, some are the other way around.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" is not available now!
However, Disneyland has a pirate ship.
