Disney
After the expense and income report is clear.
Jessica just reported the remaining cash in the company:
"At present, the company's remaining funds are 108 million US dollars. At the same time, Mission Impossible has millions of dollars in copyright sharing and peripheral income every quarter."
"One hundred million dollars..."
Kevin held his chin and thought.
Compared with the funds that Marvel needs, there is still a big gap.
Pirates of the Caribbean, it is expected that the income that can directly bring Dawn Movies in the end is more than 100 million US dollars, and there are some copyright income.
It is necessary to rely on time to accumulate slowly, and it is also impossible to quench the thirst of the near.
It seems that it is still necessary to start with a new film project.
...
San Pedro city, San Pedro port, Pirates of the Caribbean town.
Johnny Depp, who plays Captain Jack Sparrow, is promoting the Pirates of the Caribbean movie and the attractions of this Pirates of the Caribbean town.
Countless reporters followed, filming the details of Depp's interactions with each fan.
The Pirates of the Caribbean town also welcomed thousands of tourists at this time, which was never achieved by any attraction in San Pedro.
The arrival of Captain Jack Sparrow ignited a carnival atmosphere.
Let the whole town haunt a frenzy atmosphere.
Ronande, director of the Tourism Bureau, saw this scene in the town, and his face blossomed with a smile.
This traffic flow has been so exaggerated since Pirates of the Caribbean was released a week ago, and it is still increasing continuously.
He, the director of the Tourism Bureau, decided on an investment plan that seemed to make a lot of money.
There is no doubt that this has greatly added a brilliance to his resume.
If it weren't for his lack of interest in politics, he might have tried to run for the mayor of San Pedro.
On the other side, in the Caribbean town, several people dressed very formally, and at first glance, they came for work, not for vacation, and they kept writing something on paper on their hands.
It seems to be counting some data.
After the statistician stopped, the leading middle-aged white man wearing golden-rimmed glasses asked:
"How is it, the traffic in Pirates of the Caribbean Town?"
The man of statistics replied:
"The number of passengers in a single day reaches tens of thousands of people, and most of them are in the form of parent-child and family units."
"The degree of agreement with our Disney project is extremely high, and it is recommended to win."
These people are the people who are in charge of the project inspection at Disney.
They are all over the United States, looking for a variety of projects to help Disneyland progress, not static.
It is thanks to the existence of these people that Disneyland has dominated the park industry in the United States for many years and is the only giant in the industry.
Disneyland is a very important source of cash for The Walt Disney Company.
An extraordinary position among Walt Disney.
The man with golden-rimmed glasses was shocked when he heard the data just mentioned.
This kind of traffic is actually very scary.
Judging from this flow of people, the annual income of the Caribbean town is likely to be as high as tens of millions of dollars, and this is also limited by the operational capacity of the San Pedro City Tourism Office.
This project, if handed over to Disneyland to operate.
It is not impossible to double the income by two or three times.
If Disney does not take the lead in such a hugely profitable project, several other larger amusement parks in the United States will certainly not give up.
This increase and decrease will invisibly reduce Disney's revenue.
The paradise project is essentially a competition with you and without me.
The total number and time of tourists is limited, and it is handed over to others, which means the reduction of Disney tourists.
After hearing this statistic, Jewett, the white man with gold-rimmed glasses, knew immediately that Disney had to take the project.
The release of the Caribbean, no one knows no one knows.
Of course they all heard it.
This kind of masterpiece, after the release of many subsequent sequels, is no accident, that is, the movie box office does not hit the street continuously.
This kind of authorized theme town will only become more and more influential.
If they don't take it early, they will bleed a lot later.
...
The group of people hurried to the Disneyland headquarters with the collected data, and reported the data they collected and the evaluation they had made.
This kind of exaggerated data instantly got the attention of the executives of Disneyland.
After some discussion, Disney immediately made a decision to take the project regardless of the cost.
Although this project may only be the icing on the cake for themselves, but in the hands of other large amusement parks, it is a sharp axe that cuts to itself.
Led by Jewett, they went to the location of the copyright owner of Pirates of the Caribbean, Morning Sun Entertainment, to discuss the licensing of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Dawn Film Company.
conference room.
Kevin and Dawson confronted a group of professionals from the amusement park company behind the Six Flags theme park in Illinois.
"How is it? We, Six Flags Entertainment, are very sincere and willing to directly pay $100 million for the authorization of Pirates of the Caribbean."
The bald-headed man at the head has a look on his face that we are so generous.
Looking forward to Kevin's response to his words.
Disney's mechanism, and some amusement park companies also follow suit. It is in this case that the current impact of Pirates of the Caribbean on the traffic of Pirates of the Caribbean town is known by many people.
Six Flags, as the top three companies in the American amusement park project, was the first to come to the door and negotiate with Kevin on licensing.
Facing the $100 million reported by the bald man.
Kevin just smiled lightly and wrote lightly:
"For a mere $100 million, do you think you can get authorization from the Pirates of the Caribbean?"
The bald man suddenly changed his face.
"Then how much do you think is appropriate?"
"$200 million and 10 percent of the net profit on this project."
Kevin directly offered his own psychological price.
Originally, Kevin was going to keep this authorization in his hands and run a theme park himself.
After all, there are so many Marvel IPs in the future, and building a theme park is the best way to make money.
However, when he inquired about the specific requirements of the amusement park project, he immediately dismissed the idea.
Amusement park projects, different from ordinary projects, need to involve a lot of dealings with US government departments, and also require huge amounts of money.
The construction of the future Shanghai Disneyland cost more than 5.5 billion US dollars. Even if it is not so expensive in this era, it is also indispensable for the ten or two billion US dollars.
Kevin gave up then and planned to build an amusement park himself.
