August 1.

On this day, Zucker successfully gave himself a day off.

But even so, Zhuke was not able to rest.

"Boss, this is the business report of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group in the first half of the year. Well, there are many documents that you need to sign and implement."

Alexander, director of the Presidential Office of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group and chief assistant to the chairman, came to Zhuke's villa early in the morning.

“~!”

Zhuke slapped his forehead in despair and immediately collapsed on the sofa.

"My rare holiday was ruined by you, Alexander." Zhuke was very resentful.

Alexander chuckled: "Boss, you should understand that entrepreneurs don't have real vacation!"

What can Zucker do?

He is very desperate!

As his career grew to this height today, this giant ship was no longer something that Zhuke could stop just because he wanted to stop. Thousands of employees from the entire Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group followed Zhuke to have dinner. It was impossible for them to let the company stagnate. Even if Zhuke didn't want to move, others would push Zhuke forward.

"Come on, I've tried my best too~!"

Zhu Ke had no choice but to take a thick stack of documents and read them.

The first thing that caught my eye was the business statements of various subsidiaries of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group in the first half of the year.

Wald Pictures:

As an important part of the Jinshuguang Entertainment Group, it occupies a crucial position in the group.

From early January this year to the end of July this year, it took nearly 8 months.

Wald Pictures has successively produced and released three films: "My Grand Greek Wedding", "Spartan 300 Warriors" and "Blair the Witch". Of course, it also undertakes films from other film and television companies and publishes them, with as many as 7 movies in this part.

"My Grand Greek Wedding": It achieved a box office of $259 million in North America, a box office of $138 million in overseas markets, and a cumulative global box office of $397 million;

Moreover, the film broke the box office record of North American romantic love movies in one fell swoop.

"Spartan 300 Warriors": It achieved a box office of US$210 million in North America; the box office in overseas markets was even more expensive, and it has achieved a box office of US$207 million.

Global cumulative box office results: US$417 million.

At present, there are still a small number of theaters in North American theaters being screened on a long-term basis, and it is expected to earn a box office of several million US dollars.

"Boss, with the box office revenue of these two movies alone, our performance in the first half of the year was higher than that of the top DreamWorks in the second-tier."

Alexander smiled and said, "Of course, if the benefits of "Blair the Witch" are added, it will be no less than the Six majors."

Zucker nodded.

Immediately, I opened the income statement of "The Witch Blair".

As of June 30, "The Witch" has achieved a box office of US$140 million in North America, and has also achieved a box office of US$56 million overseas, with a global total box office of nearly US$200 million.

The lowest-cost movie in history created at $60,000 has really shocked many people.

"The box office of the three movies at home and abroad is as high as US$430 million."

As for the other seven movies, they are produced by other films and distributed by Wald Pictures, and are 9% to 15% of the North American box office revenue.

Overall, it also made a lot of profits.

A full profit of tens of millions of dollars.

Although this profit amount is inconspicuous compared with the profits of the six major issuances, it is an increase of 42% compared with the profits of Wald Pictures' distribution in the same period last year.

This is progress.

The revenue of offline markets and Wald Pictures also increased a lot compared with the same period last year.

DVD, videotape market, surrounding games, clothing, portrait rights, dolls, books, etc., all make a lot of profits.

In the box office market, Wald Pictures' cumulative net profit in the first half of this year was US$240 million in terms of film costs, publicity and distribution expenses, theater sharing, copying and other materials expenditures, taxation and other aspects.

Of course, if the profits of peripheral profits, copyright operation and other profits are added, the overall net profit will exceed US$320 million.

"Boss, this $320 million is the result of pure profit. Compared to the second half of this year, the company will no longer be worried about lack of cash." Alexander laughed.

"hehe!"

Zhuke curled his lips and said, "It's too early to mention these things now. You don't know the nature of the theater chain. If we don't delay for a few months, can we expect to make all the profits? It would be great if we can get the second batch and the second batch of box office sharing.

Alexander: "…..."

Well, Zhuke is now showing off, he is just taking advantage of his own behavior.

The film and television market is making money, but as Zucker said, movies are an investment with high risks and high returns, but a long return cycle.

If Juke hadn't made the cheat, Wald Pictures wouldn't have had such high returns in the first half of today.

In the first half of this year, Wald Pictures was indeed awesome.

"Where is this?"

"I'm waiting for the release of Finding Nemo now. Once it is released, even if it cannot break the monopoly of Pixar and DreamWorks on 3D computer animation, it will surely allow Water World Animation to occupy a place in the animation field."

In addition to Wald Pictures' strong performance, the remaining subsidiaries of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group also performed outstandingly.

TV Group, Kingshuguang Music, Water World Animation, SpongeBob SquarePants House, Kingshuguang Publishing, Under Armour Sports Products Company, and Manchester City Club, the overall revenue has also increased accordingly compared with the same period last year.

Especially the TV Group, its performance is amazing!

Its subsidiary is the third largest UPN TV network in the United States, and the eighth largest WB TV network in the United States.

The hits in TV series such as "Prison Break", "The Walking Dead", "The Big Bang Them", "Bankrupt Sisters";

Variety shows such as "Good Talent", "Millionaire", "wwe Live Wrestling Entertainment", "I Am a Celebrity" are popular;

In addition, it has received strong support from the Wald Pictures Library of nearly 3,000 movies, attracting a large number of viewers.

With many halos, Jin Shuguang TV Group's turnover in the first half of this year exceeded US$3.2 billion in one fell swoop, with a profit of US$510 million.

This performance ranks 7th in the American TV field, second only to 6 TV groups, CBS, Paramount Online and Comcast.

This achievement is really awesome. After all, no other six TV groups have decades of historical heritage, have been working hard for a long time, and have a wide coverage.

The size of Jinshuguang TV Group is still quite different.

But even so, Zhuke's name as the "Little Television Emperor" was completely recognized!

.........

August 3.

With one day left before the premiere of "Finding Nemo" and three days left before the movie was officially released across the United States, Zucker came to McAfee.

McAfee (Antivirus) will officially hold the third voting meeting for the B round of shares expansion today.

Zhu Ke happily made an appointment and was considering increasing his shareholding.
Chapter completed!
