Chapter 847 Movies Are the Leader

Tang En's words made his intention clear.

In the future, in a few years, when Kevin Feige matures enough, Nina Jacobson will have to abdicate.

Put the power of Marvel Studios in the hands of Kevin Feige.

Back then, when Tang En dug Nina Jacobson here... Marvel Studios was just a small temple, but Nina Jacobson was a big Buddha!

During these years in Hollywood, she first served as the vice president of the production department at Universal Pictures, and then went to DreamWorks as the director of the production department, and then...she joined Disney and became the vice president of the production department of Disney Brave Pictures. President.

When Marvel Studios was first established, it was a time when superheroes were dead.

Nina Jacobson voluntarily surrendered and took great career risks to join Marvel Studios, which can be described as a great sacrifice.

And then... Marvel Studios took off.

It ushered in a new era of comic-book movies.

Now, Marvel Pictures is in full swing, and the first movie "Avengers" where heroes gather will also start preparations for filming.

Tang En expressed his position at this time, saying that Kevin Fitch will take over in the future.

How does this make her?

Tang En's explanation didn't work. Nina Jacobsen's face turned pale, and she looked at Tang En in disbelief, as if she had never known this person before.

There is a feeling of the devil.

Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What kind of eyes are you looking at? You don't really think that I will treat you badly, do you?"

Nina Jacobsen was silent, staring at him.

She needs more reasons.

Tang En was helpless, so he said bluntly: "This is considered a company secret, so don't spread it. Bill's job...he is a bit old, and he can't keep up with the development needs of the new Universal Film and Television Department. I have always had an ideal candidate in my heart— —Alan Horne."

Nina Jacobsen's eyes widened.

She really didn't expect that Tang En actually wanted to fire Bill McNick!

This is a company veteran with more seniority than her.

Huh?

etc!

Alan Horne?

Isn't that the president of Warner Bros.? A real second in command!

Tang En said: "Barry Meyer and Alan Horn have great differences in the concept of comic book movies. Time Warner's top management is obviously more inclined to Barry Meyer. The fiasco of "Catwoman" is exactly this. result of an internal power struggle."

"Well, Meyer and Horn...the differences are not small, and it has been many years." Nina Jacobson nodded.

In the 1990s, Alan Horn was the president of Warner Bros.

Under his leadership, Warner Bros. was the film company with the best performance in Hollywood in the 1990s!

50-60 films can be produced every year!

It's almost comparable to the era of big studios back then.

Of course, in addition to the president Alan Horn, there is another great hero - CEO Terry Messer.

Later, when Yahoo encountered a bubble crisis, it poached CEO Terry Messer from Warner Bros. and hired him as Yahoo CEO in an attempt to let him lead Yahoo out of the predicament.

The position of CEO of Warner Bros. was vacant.

At that time, Alan Horn was the most vocal!

As a result, Time Warner Group directly parachuted a CEO, that is, Barry Meyer.

He represents the will of the top management of the group.

The meaning of Time Warner Group is very clear. It hopes that Barry Meyer can drive Warner Bros. to develop in accordance with the group's program and ideas, instead of simply being responsible for the interests of Warner Bros.

There are many factions within Time Warner, and the competition is fierce.

For example, Warner Bros. movies, playing on hbo, want to be free? joke!

Want to buy copyright at a low price? joke!

How many times do you want to play more after buying the copyright? joke!

The will of the group headquarters is useless at all, everything is done according to market standards, all TV stations compete together, and whoever bids the most will get it!

Doing so is naturally in the interests of Warner Bros.

After all, Alan Horn is just the president of Warner Bros. and has nothing to do with hbo.

However, from the perspective of Time Warner headquarters, this is too badass.

Isn't this for self-interest, affecting the overall situation of the company?

From this perspective, it is normal for Time Warner to parachute Barry Meyer instead of Alan Horn.

However, Alan Horn is a real filmmaker, a bigwig in Hollywood.

His foundation in Warner Brothers and the circle is extremely strong.

Even if Barry Mayer was the CEO, in the first few years, he could only hold back honestly.

The production power of Warner Bros. movies has always been firmly in the hands of Alan Horn.

Until... Marvel Pictures slowly rises!

The spring of manga movies has arrived.

As a DC with the same reputation as Marvel, he must also make a breakthrough!

This is the highest decision of Time Warner Group!

DC Films only releases movies, but it can greatly increase the group's performance and revenue from various directions.

Because the movie is the leader!

Although the box office market of movies is not big, the peripheral copyrights and derivative copyrights of movies, as well as the brand value and added value driven by them, are the core pillars of the media empire!

As evidenced by the data, take Disney as an example. (Because Disney’s industry integration is the best, Time Warner has too many internal factions, and lacks a CEO as powerful as Michael Eisner. The data in 2015 is used.)

Disney includes five major business departments: Film and Television Entertainment Department, Consumer Products Department, Interactive Entertainment Department, Tourism and Vacation Department, and Television Media Department.

In the income of the film and television entertainment department, film production and distribution...that is, film box office revenue, accounted for about 25%.

However, you must know that Disney’s five major business divisions account for the following: film and television entertainment (14%), consumer goods (8%), interactive entertainment (2%), tourism and vacation (31%), TV media Ministry (45%).

Data speaks volumes for the power of cinema!

The box office of movies, as well as income from peripheral channels such as video tapes, subscription-on-demand, TV broadcasts, and paid videos, account for only 14% of Disney's total revenue. (peripheral income)

In addition, the retail of consumer goods related to movies created 8% of the value; the interactive entertainment department related to movie publications and game adaptations created 2% of the value; the tourism and vacation department related to movie images created 31% %the value of. (derived income)

Even the TV media department... is deeply influenced by movies.

The more successful the movie, the higher the company's brand value and reputation, and the audience naturally likes to watch more well-known TV stations.

It can be seen from this that all industries in the media empire, in the final analysis, must rely on the most basic core business-movies!

A dollar earned at the movie box office is equivalent to $30 earned for the group company!

Superhero movies with great development value of peripheral copyrights and derivative copyrights will create even higher profit ratios!

The success of Marvel movies has made Time Warner very jealous.

The group's top management urgently hopes that DC Films can also launch a grand superhero movie plan.

However, Alan Horn is not trusted by the group's top management.

In the 1990s, under the promotion of Alan Horn, Warner Bros. made a series of superhero movies, which failed one after another, which directly led to the death of comic movies.

If it weren't for the emergence of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" later, comics would still be a big forbidden area.

At this time, Barry Meyer stepped forward.

He said that he will take full responsibility and lead the big plan of DC comics to change movies!

You know, film production has always been within the scope of Alan Horn's power. This is grabbing power.

Contradictions are becoming more and more acute, and it is logical.

Last year, the success of "Batman" gave Barry Meyer great confidence and more courage to suppress Alan Horn.

Then, this year made a fool of himself.

"Catwoman" became a big joke.

The relationship between people is like this. When it is successful, contradictions can be covered up.

After failure, it will erupt like a volcano!

The conflict between Alan Horn and Barry Meyer has been raging in the industry.

Time Warner's top executives are also coming forward to mediate.

Tang En knew that the opportunity had come.

I'm afraid that within a year or two, Alan Horn will leave Warner Bros. without him taking the initiative to provoke and win him over.

Nina Jacobson was quite shocked by Twain's statement, "You mean... let Mr. Horn take charge of New Universal's film and television entertainment department?"

"I think so too!"

"Then what does this have to do with my position?"

Tang En smiled slightly, "Have you forgotten? Besides being the CEO of the Film and Television Entertainment Department, Bill also holds a position."

Nina Jacobson thought for a moment.

Bill McNick holds many positions, such as vice chairman of the creative committee, member of the management committee, group director...etc!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, her complexion changed, and she blurted out: "It's the CEO of Tang En Pictures!"

The current New Global Group, its descendants and grandchildren's companies...are spread all over the world, as many as more than 1,200.

Which company has the highest specification?

It’s not the flourishing Marvel Studios, the established film studio Universal Pictures, the cutting-edge animation studio Pixar, the hardware technology research and development of Dolby Laboratories, and the professional cable TV station’s leading overlord STA TV network…

It's Tang En Pictures!

The chairman of Twain Films is appointed by Twain himself!

The CEO of Dunn Films is concurrently held by the CEO of the Film and Television Entertainment Department, Bill McNick!

Since the reorganization of the New Universal Group, Tang En Pictures' development strategy has changed, focusing on promoting blockbuster movies!

Tang En Pictures will not take over films with an investment of less than 100 million US dollars!

Nina Jacobson seemed to have figured out Tang En's intentions.

Can't help flushing with excitement.

Tang En smiled, "As I said, I will not treat any meritorious officials badly. Even if Bill resigns from the position of CEO of the Film and Television Entertainment Department, he will be promoted to the vice president of the group to assist in the management of the Film and Television Entertainment Department and TV media As for the position of CEO of Twain Films that was vacated after he left office... this position is very important, and I hope that a meritorious veteran will take it over."

Nina Jacobson took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "I understand."

(In the chapter comment area, many friends don’t know the strength of the movie. Some people say that when Nintendo sold all over the world, the money it made couldn’t compare with the entire Hollywood combined, which means that games are more profitable than movies. The previous sentence is right, The latter sentence is wrong. In the 1980s, Nintendo made so much money, except for the yen exchange rate. The fundamental reason was that it was the era of the rise of Japanese manufacturing. Nintendo sold handheld game consoles. Nintendo made money by making hardware. Not the content of the game. The former is the manufacturing industry, which is the secondary industry; the latter is the service industry, which is the tertiary industry. There is no comparison. If you really compare movies and games... that would be too bullying. Now the world's largest The biggest game company is Penguin, even if you add up the annual revenue of the 10 largest game companies in the world...it can’t compare to a Disney.)
