Chapter 429 Share sales create greater glory [The Golden Compass] has a box office explosion

Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers.

in an office.

Zhang Nan and Old Luke were introduced by a manager at Lehman Investment Bank and met several clients who wanted to purchase a 2 million basic share of "Rebirth [-]" in the Longbow Film and Television Fund.

In fact, this kind of operation did not require Zhang Nan to do it himself.

However, the sale of the 2 million basic share of [Rebirth [-]] was a bit too large, and Zhang Nan was a little worried, so he took action personally.

Yes.

The basic share sales value of [Rebirth 2] is very large.

Let's say that.

With the success of the previous film "The End of Days 1", coupled with Paramount Pictures' low-priced distribution contract, and the current madness of the financial market.

The combination of various factors has caused a huge surge in the value of the basic share of "Rebirth 2" of [-] million US dollars.

The starting point is ten times.

The value of the last batch of basic shares sold so far has skyrocketed to twenty times.

Even if the prices before and after are calculated comprehensively, after the entire basic share of 2 million U.S. dollars in "Rebirth 80" was sold from Zhang Nan, the value in exchange has been as high as [-] billion U.S. dollars, an increase of sixteen times. .

This is crazy.

As a result, Zhang Nan suddenly paused while working on the last few basic share transfer contracts and said to the Lehman Brothers manager in charge of the [Rebirth of Doomsday 2] share entrustment:
"Cotton, after I sign this, the contract has legal effect. Although I am the party who sells things and collects money, there is no reason to belittle my own things, but I still want to emphasize to you that [Rebirth 2] Shares are valuable, but in my opinion, a one-dollar share of "Rebirth 2" is worth twelve dollars at most.

If you sell to others at [-] times the price now, you won't be afraid that your customers will trouble you later. If you want to earn handling fees as a middleman, that's not how you can make money. "

Zhang Nan said this after careful calculation.

"Avatar" will be released soon. In order to maintain his position in Hollywood, Zhang Nan will definitely not let go of the title of box office champion in film history.

Otherwise, if the box office crown in film history is taken away by "Avatar", even if he is the starring role in "Avatar" now.

But the quality is still worse than the project he directed and starred in, which is the box-office champion in film history, and it will affect his current film contracts in Hollywood, which are measured in hundreds of millions.

So Zhang Nan plans to directly invest 2 billion U.S. dollars in the box office appeal of "Rebirth 25".

The confirmed box office of 25 billion, coupled with the movie tickets of some wandering movie fans, pushed the total box office of "The Last Day 2" to over 30 billion US dollars, surpassing the global 28 billion US dollars of "Avatar". It is not a big deal.

So let's make a conservative estimate. Even if the global box office of "Rebirth 2" is 30 billion US dollars, the copyright peripherals will be almost the same amount.

Discounting the 30.00% box office share shared by theaters and distributors, investors can almost directly reap US$2 billion in profits from the "Rebirth 50" project, which means that one dollar of investment can be exchanged for ten dollars. US dollars.

Of course, it can sell tens of millions to nearly 2 million US dollars of customers, and naturally it also has some tricks in the financial market, so it can enjoy the profits of [Rebirth [-]] in the financial market.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the entire investment in "Rebirth 2" can basically achieve an investment of one US dollar, in exchange for an income of twelve US dollars, which is a twelvefold increase.

But now the situation has actually soared to twenty times that of exchanging one dollar for twenty dollars.

Even if Zhang Nan sells shares voluntarily, he is afraid that something will go wrong later and someone will be so angry that they will find trouble.After all, North America is a place where guns are not allowed.

After listening to Zhang Nan say this, which was obviously not what a seller should say, Cotton, the manager of Lehman Brothers Investment Bank, smiled slightly and said: "Zhang, thank you very much for the reminder, but that's how the financial market is, it's not equivalent. Exchange, but buy up and not down.

There is no shortage of smart people in the market, and many people also know that those things with inflated values ​​are not worth the money, and the skyrocketing stock prices will eventually fall back to their original prices.

But everyone is betting that they can make profits out of thin air during the price increase process, and that they will not be the last taker in the price increase process. "

Zhang Nan understood the meaning of Lehman Investment Bank Manager Cotton's words.

Many people know how much [Doomsday Rebirth 2] is worth, but when people are willing to offer such a high price, they don’t want to make money through [Doomsday Rebirth 2]’s income, but rely on [Doomsday Rebirth 2] to make money in the financial market. Make money by being popular.

In this case, Zhang Nan couldn't say anything else.

And even if customers go crazy, Lehman Brothers will still be there to protect them!
Zhang Nan had no choice but to quickly sign his name on the contract, quickly collect the check, and at the same time express his blessing:

"Then I hope these people who bought the shares of [Rebirth 2] will not be the last ones to take over!"

Lehman Investment Bank Coton quickly collected the contract that Zhang Nan had signed, and replied: "It doesn't matter even if it is, [Rebirth 2]'s share has actual benefits, and there will be considerable profits even if it falls. "

This is not true.

[Rebirth 2] The share of this project is that no matter how much it is speculated on in the financial market, it will still have a fixed income, and no matter how much you lose, you won't lose much.

But for products such as stocks, funds, etc., the value can really be cleared directly to zero. Even if the operation is more shameless, negative returns can be achieved.

……

11 month 27 day.

Just after Zhang Nan completely cleared out the basic share of 2 million U.S. dollars in "Rebirth 80" and got back [-] billion U.S. dollars in income.

New Line Cinema's ambitious attempt to replace the "Lord of the Rings" series - "The Golden Compass" was also officially released in North America.

But the result~
[The Golden Compass] is worthy of its name as a compass, and it follows the old direction of the original time and space.

The first day's box office was US$872.3 million, the next day's box office was US$1022.6 million, and the weekend's box office was US$683.4 million.

The North American box office grossed more than 2500 million US dollars in three weekend days, which directly shattered New Line Cinema's expectations for "The Golden Compass" and caused New Line Cinema's stock price to fluctuate violently.

If it weren’t for the current New Line Cinema, there would still be [Lord of the Rings - Legend of Sauron] spin-off series to squeeze the market.

The stock price of the entire New Line Cinema company will definitely explode, and then Warner Pictures will follow the old script of the original time and space, take advantage of the opportunity, and swallow up New Line Cinema.

And then... New Line Cinema also wants to see if a miracle happens in "The Golden Compass."

Until the single-day box office of "The Golden Compass" the following week, it never exceeded US$200 million in the three non-weekend days.

Even if it was a three-day weekend, it was only Saturday that made 371.5 million U.S. dollars, and the other two days did not even reach 250 million U.S. dollars.

New Line Cinema had just completely given up on "The Golden Compass", and president Alan Toby rushed to see Zhang Nan overnight.
