How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 281 Breaking [-] million on the first day, Paramount analyzes the status quo and seeks cooperation
Originally, for the box office data of [Doomsday Rebirth 1], only Disney and Wall Street financial institutions that have cooperated with the Longbow Film and Television Fund were more concerned.

But after watching the entire [Doomsday Rebirth 1], the entire Hollywood giants couldn't sit still.

Because if Zhang Nan's operation can be a big success, it can be regarded as a new project track for them.

However, most giants are not very optimistic about Zhang Nan's operation.

Of course, whether you are not optimistic about it or not, you still have to pay attention to it.

September 7, at three o'clock in the morning.

The staff of various movie theaters in North America are used to the life of working overtime to collect statistics whenever the summer vacation comes.

But since the start of the summer vacation in May, [Spider-Man 1], [Star Wars Episode 2], [Bourne Shadow 1], [Windtalker], [Minority Report]... and other blockbuster movies have been released one after another.

So far, more than two months have passed.

Being so busy all the time, many people are a little numb, and feel that they have already adapted to this state.

But the release of [Doomsday Rebirth 1] gave them a deeper understanding of being busy.

Disney, Warner, Universal, Columbia... and other Hollywood giants have been calling to inquire about box office data.

During the period, there were also phone calls from Lehman, Citigroup, Morgan ... and other Wall Street financial giants.

Even the presidents of industrial light and magic and other special effects film companies called to inquire.

The leaders of the theater chain felt unprecedented pressure, and then... passed on this pressure.

Finally, at three o'clock in the morning, the first-day box office of [Doomsday Rebirth 1] was counted.

The general manager of the theater chain was a little hesitant when he looked at the slightly scary data in his hand.

"Are you sure it is this data, there is no statistical error?"

"There shouldn't be a problem. We've been very proficient in statistics throughout the summer vacation. If you're really worried, manager, we can check the data again."

Hearing what his staff said, the general manager of the theater wanted to say something, but the phone in his pocket vibrated again, interrupting his thoughts.

"So be it!"

Disney headquarters.

Inside the President's Office.

Bob Brett looked at the first-day box office data of [Doomsday Rebirth 1] that had just been faxed in front of him, and he was in a state of shock.

Because the above data, impressively written - 1.03 million.

The single-day box office in North America exceeded [-] million.

What concept is this?
Let's put it this way, whether the total box office of many North American films at this time can exceed [-] million is a question.

But after shock comes ecstasy.

Because the better the data of [Doomsday Rebirth 1], the more income he can get in the end with the remaining 1000 million share and [-]% of the total box office distribution dividend.

It’s just that after a while of ecstasy, Bob Brett’s back molars began to hurt again—it was caused by his heartache for the $1000 million share that was sold in advance.

Compared to the ecstasy of Bob Brett at Disney, the CEOs of other Hollywood giants who saw this data had complicated expressions on their faces.

Among them, Dick Frank, the president of Paramount, has a complicated expression, most of which are remorse, and a small part is worry.

Because after cutting off the filming plan of "Mission: Impossible 3", Paramount has not released any blockbuster movies in the past two years.

And the share price of a film and television company like Paramount, a Hollywood giant, is closely related to whether it can produce a movie that sells well at the box office.

That is to say, Paramount still bears the name of a Hollywood giant and has a glorious history in the past, so the company's stock price can still withstand it, but it is already slowly declining.

Originally, this is nothing, after all, if you are engaged in movies, no one can guarantee that you can continue to succeed.

But the imminent bankruptcy of MGM is a wake-up call for Hollywood giants.

You must know that MGM was so arrogant and arrogant before that they bought United Artists Pictures.

He just made a wave of subtraction from the Big Eight in Hollywood, and turned them into the Big Seven in Hollywood.

But now?

It is already necessary to subtract the name of the Hollywood giants again, turning the Big Seven into the Big Six.

It's just that this time it's not buying others, but self-explosion-bankruptcy.

How can such an ending keep Dick Frank from panicking.

Because Dick Frank looked around, and suddenly found that other Hollywood giants have developed quite well in the past two years, but they, Paramount, have been a little crotch in the past two years.

In the past two years, Universal has relied on small and medium cost productions such as "Fast and Furious 1" and "Bourne Shadow", and basically stabilized the negative impact of losing the series of "Jurassic Park", and even the company's stock price has increased.

Needless to say, Sony behind it is a well-known big money, although it was hit hard by the previous neon financial crisis.

But let alone a skinny camel that is bigger than a horse, and a broken boat with three thousand nails.

In the past two years, there have been many masterpieces.

Not to mention anything else, the [Spider-Man 1] just completed this year is enough to stabilize the company's stock price for several years.

And Warner Pictures only released [Harry Potter 1] last year. This series has a global box office of nearly [-] million U.S. dollars. It also has the [Terminator] series in hand. It's not too small.

Not to mention [-]th Century Fox.

Not to mention the influence brought by the [Titanic], it has not yet been exhausted.

Let’s just say that its successful attempts in manga adaptation movies in the past two years have also opened up a new film and television project track for it, and now it has begun to compete with Disney in the field of cartoons.

And Disney?

Their main business is real estate, and Disney Pictures can be said to be its main business, an advertising company, and basically it will not fail.

"Find someone to communicate with Zhang Nan's agent, and tell us that we are very interested in the release of [Doom Rebirth 2]. If the release of [Doom Rebirth 2] can be handed over to Paramount, Paramount can guarantee [-] The size of the museum, plus a [-]% distribution box office dividend fee."

Dick Frank ordered to the assistant beside him.

Hearing Dick Frank's words, the assistants around him were dumbfounded.

Why is it that [Doom Rebirth 1] has only been released for one day, and you are eyeing the release of [Doom Rebirth 2] right now?

"President, let's talk about this now. Isn't it a bit too early in terms of time? And the [-]% box office dividend fee is lower than the lowest [-]% in the market. We basically don't make any money!"

It is indeed early.

But if it is not early, it is estimated that it will not be our turn to Paramount.

Cooperation is indeed not profitable.

But this wave of cooperation can be regarded as the certificate and favor fee he handed over to Zhang Nan on behalf of Paramount.

What stands out is the sincerity, hoping to redeem the unhappiness with Zhang Nan before, and then through the operation, take the line of Zhang Nan.

Because Dick Frank found that if he wanted Paramount not to repeat the mistakes of MGM, in the current Hollywood, only Zhang Nan is a more suitable candidate, such as Spielberg, George Lucas... and other big directors Compared with him, it's even worse.

This one-day box office of more than [-] million US dollars really shocked him

"Do as I tell you." Dick Frank didn't bother to explain.
