Chapter 1761 Donna’s Year-End Summary

The relationship of interest has been the strongest but also the most unstable since ancient times. If you think about it carefully, with enough interests as a bond, even two people who don't know each other can become life-or-death friends. On the contrary, once two people become friends because of interests, Disputes arise due to uneven distribution, and it may not take long for them to part ways.

The cracks have already appeared, how could Yang Cheng and Damien not realize it?

But they all know that this rift cannot completely separate the relationship between the two, and huge interests can temporarily suppress the conflict.

Damien took a deep breath and joked in as relaxed a tone as possible, "You don't want to be the second Gavin, do you?"

Yang Cheng heard the vigilance in Demien's words. No one knew better than her. Once Yang Cheng became ambitious, he would probably be more difficult to deal with than Gavin. There was no way, whoever had the right to speak these days would be awesome. And Yang Cheng happens to hold the fourth largest media company in the United States. She has enough vocal power both online and offline. This is a deadly weapon that can turn black into white. She is very afraid.

At this time, Yang Cheng couldn't turn his back on anything, and said some comforting words that he didn't even believe, "Damien, our cooperation has always been very pleasant, and there is no need for me to provoke a powerful person for this little money." Opponent, you should know that for me, arms are just a channel to ensure cash flow. If I really want to make money, I can just take out a subsidiary and list it on the market, and it can make hundreds of millions or billions of dollars every minute. The speed of making money is no slower than selling arms. Where to go."

No matter what Damien's true thoughts are, at least he believes it, "You're right. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I still want to remind you that if you find such a notebook, it's best to make a copy." Give me a copy, and you can keep the original version for yourself."

What else could Yang Cheng say? He said with a serious face, "Don't worry, I'll have someone look for it right now. If I find it, I'll send it to you~"

There was no need to talk more than a few words. When it came to this point, both of them knew that there was no need to say anything more.

After Damien left, Yang Cheng took out a brown leather notebook from the drawer. The notebook was very thick and the paper was a little loose. It could be seen that it was the result of frequent use.

Open it gently, and the first page is the name of a certain House of Representatives boss.

. . . . . .

In mid-December, the Big Apple City was covered in snow. The first snow of the year came a bit early and the temperature was extremely low, but the cold air did not stop it.

Even though there was a constant temperature system in the office, Yang Cheng still shivered unconsciously and quickly drank hot coffee to warm up. When he came this morning, he was wearing a thick windbreaker and a scarf.

The biting cold wind still made him stiff from the cold, and it took him two cups of coffee to warm him up. It was a typical sign of getting older, and he was starting to feel afraid of the cold. It was time to get a thermos cup and drink wolfberry tea.

At this time, Liu Junyu knocked on the door and came in, "The appointment time is up, Ms. Donna Round is here~"

Yang Cheng said, "Let her come in, call Eddie and Riz to listen~"

"Yes~"

Donna Round flew to New York specifically to give him a year-end report. This year was a year of rapid development for New Era Pictures, and also a year of major turning points for other Hollywood companies. As one of the core pillars of New Era Media, Yang Cheng Cheng attaches great importance to this report, otherwise he would not let people fly to New York in this cold weather.

After a while, Donna Ronde entered the office. Yang Cheng stood up to greet her with a smile, gave her a warm hug, and said with emotion, "We haven't seen each other for half a year, right? Donna, you look younger and younger~"

Donna Ronde smiled and said, "I should give this to you. I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so handsome~"

Yang Cheng spread his hands helplessly, "OK, I made a bad start~"

Donna had such an expression, "Boss, New York is really too cold. I sincerely suggest you move to Los Angeles~"

Yang Cheng waved Liu Junyu in to deliver coffee, "I'm used to it. It's really cold this year. Let's go and sit over there and drink a cup of coffee to warm up."

"Thank you~"

The two of them walked towards the sofa, and Yang Cheng said, "Originally, I wanted you to take a day off and come back to the company tomorrow~"

Donna shook her head, "There are too many things going on in the company at the end of the year. I have to fly back quickly after I report. Fortunately, we have our own aircraft leasing company, so we don't have to worry about planes when traveling."

"Yes, the original purpose of acquiring this company was to supplement the industrial structure, and it would be good to make some money. I didn't expect that it would provide us with such great convenience internally, and it would actually save a lot of expenses and costs."

"You made a wise investment~"

"Thank you, it's my honor to receive your compliment~"

After a brief chat, Eddie and Ruiz walked in one after another. These two people are now considered kings in the company. Because of Yang Cheng's conscious control, the conflict between the two has become public within the company. Of course, it’s more about active competition and not hurting each other.

They are both smart people and know very well what Yang Cheng wants. If the two use company resources to fight due to personal grudges and affect the overall operation of the company, Yang Cheng will definitely ask them to come back regardless of their feelings. Get out of here.

When the two came in, neither of them spoke to each other, but they concealed themselves well in front of Yang Cheng and Donna.

They greeted Donna respectively and found their seats to sit down. Donna opened her iPad and said seriously, "Several leaders have arrived, so I will start the report. The summary of today's report is divided into two parts. The first part is about competitors and the overall situation. A summary of the general environment; the second part is naturally about ourselves.”

Yang Cheng nodded and said, "Let's get started. I have all the time in the morning."

Donna took a sip of coffee, briefly organized her words, and said, "Then let's start with the first part.

The first thing I want to mention is Disney, which is also a name that every member of Hollywood cannot avoid.

This year can be regarded as the first year of rapid development for Disney. With the wonderful performance of its Lucas, Marvel, Pixar, Animation, and Animation live-action movies, Disney has broken the North American annual, global annual and overseas Box office records for three of the biggest companies of the year.

In North America and the annual list, Disney's top ten occupies 6 seats, and it also holds the crown of "Finding Nemo", the box office record of North American animated films. In terms of the global annual list, Disney also occupies 5 seats in the top ten, and, With the release of "A Star Wars Story" next month in country Z, the largest overseas market, Disney will achieve the unprecedented feat of sweeping the top five in the world, with the top four all exceeding one billion US dollars.

Although two major loss-making projects, "Alice 2" and "The Giant" were also born, from "Zootopia" in March, "The Jungle Book" in April, "Captain America 3" in May, to June "Finding Nemo", November's "Doctor Strange" and "Moana", and up to this month's "Star Wars Story", Disney shocked the entire Hollywood with its dominant performance.

Such performance has also shaken the attitude of Wall Street. They have refocused their attention on Hollywood. This is also a good thing for us, because Disney has driven the development of the entire market. Although we are competitors, I have to admit that Robert Disney under Iger has left us too far behind.

And they are running faster and faster, so fast that I am even a little timid. Judging from the film list they have released, Disney will undoubtedly continue to surge in the leading position. Although there are only eight movies currently scheduled, there is no doubt that they are all It is a heavyweight IP.

In the spring release, the world-famous big IP "Beauty and the Beast" debuted first. In the summer release, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" formed two sharp swords to attack. June is Pixar's traditional schedule, and it has been in charge for 2017. The first is "Cars 3", and in November, "Thor 3" will complete the final trilogy of the Avengers' Big Three, and "Day of the Dead," Pixar's last original work in recent years, will also be unveiled.

In the final Christmas season, everyone is looking forward to the grand finale of "Star Wars: Episode 8". The seven blockbusters are coming fiercely. If nothing unexpected happens, Disney has already booked the 2017 global box office champion in advance and is launching an attack on the consecutive crown. "

Donna Round's report was like a heavy hammer hitting Yang Cheng's heart from the very beginning. After hearing Disney's amazing performance, they couldn't say a word except looking at each other in shock.

After Yang Cheng and the others digested it for a moment, Donna took the opportunity to take a sip of coffee to soothe her throat, and continued, "Next comes Warner. Over the years, Warner has always insisted on a steady and steady strategy. Although there has not been a phenomenal hit, but with the help of its films Of course, the stable performance of Ocean Tactics and DC is indispensable. With the good performance of small-budget horror films, Warner still firmly occupies the second place in the annual box office.

We have to admit that Disney and Warner, which own Marvel and DC, are already in the same category. Now is the era of big IP, and it is difficult for originals to survive. On the contrary, the more IPs they own, the more stable their profits will naturally be.

Although the projects produced by DC this year suffered from word-of-mouth failure, "Batman v Superman" and "Suicide Squad" still achieved relatively good box office results.

In addition, Warner's animated film "The Legend of Birds" has strengthened Warner's confidence in continuing to produce animation. "Oolong Agent" performed well, "The Return of Tarzan" hit the streets in the summer, but "The Conjuring 2" proved that horror movies still exist with its excellent performance. It is Warner's golden signature. "Sully", which is currently in theaters, is a film competing for the Olympics. It is on a long-term release route and has a stable box office. It has basically fulfilled Warner's expectations before its release.

Of course, the most important point is that Warner has successfully developed the Harry Potter spin-off "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". I watched this film and the quality is excellent. In the first step of the post-Harry Potter era, Warner has taken a step forward. It's very stable. As expected, this will be a golden mountain for Warner. "
