Once Zucker succeeds in acquiring Universal Pictures, Wald pictures will no longer be the top company under the top six, but will become a complete giant film company. At the same time, universal pictures also has one of the only seven seats of the American Film Association.

    seat?

    It can decide what kind of classification a film company can get and directly affect the box office results of a film.

    Because of the film rating, Zucker was stuck by big companies more than once.

    G (general level), PG (general level), PG-13 (guidance level), R (restricted level), NC-17 (no viewing under 17 years old)

    The classification system of Hollywood movies is based on the theme, language, violence, Luo style, love scenes and drug use scenes of the movies, representing the opinions that most parents may give.

    Its purpose is to provide parents with information about movies in advance, so as to help parents determine which movies are suitable for children of a specific age.

    "The starting point is good, but with the passage of time, the big companies in the United States, relying on the power of seats, wantonly eliminate their dissidents and suppress their rivals to the death..."

    The age classification of the audience directly determines the age of the movie audience when they enter the cinema to buy tickets and watch movies.

    You say, does it matter?!

    In 1999, before the film "Sparta 300 warriors" produced by Wald pictures was about to be released, Zhuke and others submitted an application to the American Film Association.

    But what about the movie rating?

    Yes - NC-17!

    This means that viewers aged 17 or under are not allowed to enter the cinema. Undoubtedly, this NC-17 rating result will make the Spartan 300 warriors film lose a large number of audiences.

    Later, with the help of paramount, Zhuk got R (restricted level) for Sparta 300.

    The R-class has been very good, at least to save the audience who is 17 years old.

    A 17-year-old audience alone can at least bring about a potential market for the movie audience of millions of people.

    With more audiences, the box office will naturally increase.

    So how important it is to have only seven seats in the American Film Association!

    Paramount, universal, Disney, 20th century fox, Sony Columbia and Warner, together with MGM, a currently depressed giant, hold only seven seats in the American Film Association.

    Seats, the symbol of giants!

    What other film companies dream of but can''t get!

    Of course, after the rise of Netflix, the future streaming media giant, the American Film Association has to add a seat for Netflix.

    "Boss, if we can really acquire Universal Pictures, then we can win a seat in the film association, which is absolutely beneficial to the future development of the company."

    The vice president is very excited now.

    Man, that''s Universal Pictures, one of the six biggest Hollywood studios!

    Zucker clenched his fist and said, "seats are very important, and Universal Pictures has a series of very valuable film rights."

    Jurassic Park series, Mummy series, back to the future series, spy series

    Including Gladiator, Hannibal, fake God

    And so on, Universal Pictures owns a series of film copyrights, which is definitely a huge sweet cake, let alone Zhuke, anyone will be very greedy.

    "But boss, there''s a problem!"

    Du Sen, vice president: "according to the existing strength of our golden dawn entertainment group, plus your financial resources, we are fully capable of acquiring universal, but is there really something wrong with Vivendi group, the parent company of universal?"

    "Even if it really faces huge losses and has to sell some of its assets, will it definitely sell universal pictures?"

    Zucker nodded in agreement.

    Vivendi group of France has successfully transformed from a water company into a global media giant in just a few years. The most important sector is universal pictures!

    You know, Vivendi''s acquisition of Universal Pictures has only been completed for more than one year

    Is it willing to give up universal pictures?

    As a result, Zucker didn''t quite know!

    Of course, as a passer-by, Zhuke still has the advantage of foresight.

    "I remember that in the future, NBC, the American public television giant, will acquire Universal Pictures and turn it into NBC Universal Pictures."

    "What''s more, behind the TV giant NBC is the old American giant General Electric!"

    Zhuke was thinking.

    In 2003?

    In 2004?

    2005?

    Even if Zhuke is a passer-by, he doesn''t remember when General Electric entered the market to buy Universal Pictures!

    "Boss, I think no matter whether Vivendi will have problems or not, we must start to collect information now. Once the information is true, we must intervene immediately, otherwise other companies will certainly rush on, and it will be too late for us to say anything."

    Dooson made suggestions.

    In a word, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!

    Zhuke nodded: "I deeply agree with you. From today on, you will set up an additional project team to collect information about Vivendi and Universal Pictures."

    "Yes, boss."

    Where would dooson refuse?

    It''s a rhythm to add burden. It''s a good thing for him. It''s too late to be happy

    Once he has successfully facilitated the company''s acquisition of global, no one will fight with the next CEO after victor. It is absolutely certain.

    ......

    The next day.

    As the president of Wald pictures, Kevin Fitch came to Zhuke''s office again.

    At the same time, there is also the vice president of the head office.

    After all, if they want to succeed in acquiring Universal Pictures, Zhuk doesn''t mind giving universal pictures a lesson first.

    The movie scorpion king?

    ha-ha!

    In the original time and space, once the film was released, relying on the number of fans of mummy, the film, known as Mummy: prequel, successfully attracted a large number of fans.

    Coupled with the off-season schedule in April, the movie "Scorpion King" can be described as a box office bomb!

    In the first three days of the weekend, the film won $36.2 million in one fell swoop, won the North American box office champion of the week, and broke the best record ever for the film premiere in April.

    As the protagonist in the play, dawn Johnson, known as "giant stone", has become famous at one stroke!

    But now?

    Zhuke doesn''t want to see Scorpion King succeed!

    The two movies, the shock of the chainsaw and the queen in Prada, are released one after the other in the movie king of scorpion, which can definitely give them a huge blow!

    Besides, Disney has entered!

    The movie omen, which costs more than 75 million US dollars, is released by touchstone, Disney, starring Mel Gibson and Jackie Phoenix. It can also have a huge impact on Universal''s Scorpion King.

    "April in North America over the years is an off-season schedule, but this year''s April schedule is undoubtedly very busy."

    "They all said that the movie" electric saw horror ", which is only made with more than one million US dollars, is a rag, but I think it will create a miracle," chuckland said

    What a thrill!

    One of the most classic and excellent horror movies in the 21st century North American movies, will it be a junk?!

    The second watch is on.
