Chapter 35 It's easier to make money than to drink water
In the first week, the box office in North America exceeded 70 million. This achievement, in fact, is not unexpected, such a big publicity, if there is no such achievement, it will really hit the street.
Even so, the global box office exceeded 100 million in three days, which is indeed an exaggeration.
What makes people vomit even more blood is that although the box office in the second week declined, it was still close to 50 million.
, you have a global box office of 100 million US dollars a week, are you planning to go crazy? When you get here, no one will say anything about losing money, this is the rhythm of making money and making soft hands!
Before the film's release, many critics and industry insiders were not optimistic about the box office prospects. After all, White Pictures spent at least $300 million to make the film.
Cameron himself once suspected that the company would suffer a large loss because it would not be able to break even. It was for this reason that I didn't plan to get paid.
For a film of this level, it will stay in theaters for at least four months. It can be said that in the current situation, the box office of one billion dollars is definitely not the end.
So, is it 1.5 billion, or 1.6 billion?
Although the movie is very good13, no one plans to hire this director. There is no secret in Hollywood, and how much Cameron can burn money is simply sensational.
If you change companies, the company may go out of business before the movie is finished. Moreover, this is a high-probability event.
A director doesn't control costs, and to be honest, no one has the guts to play this game.
Soros has some hateful teeth, William White has a lot of money here, but he has a floating loss of 400 million.
It's not interesting to compare goods, and people are more angry than people. You know, movies are just tickets for people to play. Looking at the rising NASDAQ, the old guy was directly depressed.
"Make a billion? Lucas, are you kidding? The North American box office is seriously overdrawn, roughly 700 million.
Hahaha, hahaha, this is a record that makes everyone desperate!"
"Seven billion? Well, it's really impressive. Lucas was obviously a little depressed, this film does not accept any investment. Of course, even if you are allowed to vote, it is estimated that no one will dare.
Thinking of next year's awards ceremony, Lucas grinds his teeth a little again. After the awards ceremony, it's time for the DVD to be released, and once again making a big profit, it's almost a certainty.
"If you come less, how can Star Wars make less money. I'm a one-off, and it's impossible to make a sequel. ”
"Aren't you? sequel? Leave a way out, if this is a series, the Department of Justice will talk to you. ”
"Alas, it's not that I don't want to, it's impossible. Even if there is a sequel, it will be a big bad movie. Forget it, there can be no sequel to this kind of movie, and it is impossible to remake.
You go and ask Spielberg, will ET the Alien be remade?"
The boss is very hilarious here, let alone the crew members. White Films' salaries are not high, but there is an advantage here that other studios do not have.
You say dividends, you say bonuses. In the case of a big movie hit, there will be a lot of income.
CAA, the country's largest agency, also had to adopt the White Pictures format contract.
Hehe, they don't want to agree. However, the days of being boycotted by White Pictures were really hard enough13.
There is no packaging contract, if you love to sign it, if you don't agree, the artists under CAA, we give up.
The shopkeeper bullies customers, and vice versa, in this world, there is not so much reason to talk about. Human beings have evolved for so many years, and the rule of respect for the strong has never changed.
Li Jianxi doesn't like to watch movies, not at all. The company's business has not been good lately, and he is already annoyed.
What stunned him, in the blink of an eye, his daughter became the CEO.
Well, his daughter's starting point is higher than his. There's nothing step-by-step, just go up to 250 nanometers.
The old guy fainted, and when he drove up, it was not only his daughter who was willful, but also his cheap son-in-law.
I was in a bad mood and saw an overwhelming number of advertisements again. On a whim, I actually planned to appreciate it.
Nima, just a movie, 100 million a week, is this a mythical story?
He is not interested in movies, what he wants to learn is marketing.
Yes, White Pictures isn't making movies at all, they're just running a project. If this group of guys is allowed to sell TV sets, Li Jianxi believes that there will definitely be a very good performance.
Ahem, the result is not very good, less than an hour, the old guy can't stand it. The first time you watch an IMAX movie, it's best not to choose a long one. Three hours is definitely not easy.
Do you actually need to queue up? Looking at the long queue at the ticket office, Li Jianxi couldn't help but complain secretly. This Nima is too easy to make money.
"Let's go, let's go back. ”
"Okay, President, the driver has arrived at the door. ”
On the way home, Li Jianxi thought a lot. He found that there seemed to be something wrong with his path. Technology is certainly important, but he still has a long way to go in the area of design and brand management.
As for the daughter?
He really didn't know what to say except for a sigh. Li Fuzhen has his people by his side, and of course he understands his daughter's situation. Compared with his unlucky son, tsk, there is really a gap.
What kind of sin have I created, if the rich are really boys, I don't have to think about the succession at all.
In this regard, the United States imperialism and Smecta are completely different. What's wrong with her daughter, she didn't let her son take over. Don Jr. and Ivanka are not at the same level at all.
In fact, there are many similar cases, where the top rich marry each other. You have had me for a long time, I have you, and I really don't need a son.
If a son can't do it, so can a daughter, and that's not a big deal. An industry is an industry, and a family is a family, which are completely different things.
Let's just say that his daughter inherited his personal wealth. It's not a family of Te Bu Pu.
William White is the same here, these sons and daughters of his, whoever has the ability will take more. It's really not good, you just need to be a rice worm.
There is a little, alcoholism and laundry detergent. If you get involved in this, don't think about taking a dime from your family fund until you quit.
Paul Getty learned from his past, and he didn't want to try. Making too much money is really useless in the end. Wife, son, grandson, none of them can be trusted. His vast legacy is inherited by a museum.
When the old guy reaches his old age, he must be very remorseful. Otherwise, the will will not be amended twenty-five times.
His judgment is basically correct, the Getty family, there are indeed no talents. Alcoholism and alcoholism, drug addiction, it has only been a few decades, and the so-called richest family has already disappeared from everyone.
You have a certain ability to grasp the corresponding wealth. If you don't know how to use your wealth, you might as well be an ordinary person.
Rodney King, the guy who caused the chaos in Los Angeles, received a total of about $4 million in government compensation. From a street gangster to a millionaire.
However, he didn't end well, and like many people who won the jackpot, he would soon lose himself and die!
Don't say anything you won't, it's really hard to say. Ghosts are not popular to wear masks to receive prizes, and people who win the lottery every year can be queried.
Some idle institutions have also done a special investigation. The result is not what everyone thinks, more than half of them don't take many years to play themselves useless.
