Chapter 254: Times Have Changed
The day after the desert area opened, ET aliens were painted, and Hollywood was stunned that the record set by the speed of life and death was easily broken.
"Congratulations, Spielberg, you have to help me make a movie, you see, how good it is to separate the schedules, these can maximize the benefits. ”
"Okay, as long as the script is right, I will definitely help you make one. ”
"Thank you, don't worry, there will be a suitable script. ”
"I'm a shareholder. ”
"Damn, Lucas, it's not me saying you, you won't vote for this movie, just like I won't cast Star Wars. ”
"Shet, are you going to shoot Jurassic Park?"
"Ha, Lucas, how's it going, do you know I have a little island in the Caribbean?"
"You madman. ”
"Thanks for the compliment. ”
The two guys didn't expect that a simple game of golf would actually know such a powerful news.
"William, shouldn't it be Disneyland?"
"Are you kidding me, Lucas, I regret it now, and if I could, I would have demolished the new one. ”
"I'm afraid it won't work, no wonder you stopped the project in Paris, it's really a lot of losses?"
"Don't mention it, if it weren't for this burden, I would have started to make a profit a long time ago. ”
When it comes to profits, everyone understands that if you want to go public and make money, although it is okay if you don't make a profit, you don't expect the stock price to be absolutely good.
As Hollywood's super big mouth, what Lucas knows, the natural world knows. What Jurassic Park is like is very clear to anyone who has read this book.
However, for the sake of a movie, you actually want to build a paradise, or the kind that hangs alone, how willful do you be!
Well, the world of the rich, the melon-eating masses are really incomprehensible.
As William White said, the money earned is naturally squandered, and it is a shame to store it.
The people who eat melons really don't care how he squanders, and some are even happy to see it. As long as it's not a private island, since it's open to the public, the price won't be outrageous.
The movie, which has not yet been skimmed by eight characters, has received unprecedented attention, and the book is out of stock anyway.
Hollywood bigwigs are lamenting that they really don't know each other in today's world, and today's Hollywood has become extremely weird.
They vaguely remember that just two years ago, the box office of hundreds of millions was a miracle, and now what is going on, more than 100 million seems to be just a start.
Now this summer file, there are other movies alive there.
Yes, the times are different, you can no longer look at the problem with the old eyes, if there is no way to keep up with the big army, they are the second Lianyi.
Being bought out is really nothing, except for the CEO and other executives, there shouldn't be much turmoil.
But it's a pity that Corklian doesn't think so, MGM has its own system, and the acquisition of United Arts, to put it bluntly, is to strengthen the distribution department, and their previous films were all distributed through United Arts.
As for the rest?
As long as the price is right, the ministry is selling and selling. The change of hands of 007 has excited William White for a long time, not how profitable this IT is, but thinking about the film library of United Arts and MGM.
MGM in his previous life, every time he was about to go out of business, he always borrowed money to shoot 007, and the outrageous thing is that he was able to come back to life every time.
Speaking of which, this is the grandfather of spy films, whether it is Mission Impossible, or there are many spy shadows, there is the shadow of 007 in it.
Why didn't you shoot it later?
It's not that there is no script, but it's really been played badly, and the 007 who can use the Mondeo as a car is really funny, and Agent Bean is about the same.
William has already figured out that these two guys can also make cameos with each other, of course, this can only be done occasionally, if you keep doing this, I'm afraid it won't be a spy movie.
The box office of more than 50 million US dollars in the first weekend is indeed a bit sensational, and according to this trend, there will be at least 300 million US dollars.
This is only the North American box office, generally speaking, Lao Mei prefers to watch movies, and the world is added to it, that is, it is comparable to North America.
No matter how Europe plays, it is impossible to engage in Hollywood, it is not impossible to make movies, the market potential is different, and there is no comparison.
Now not only does no one say that the movie is not profitable, but they are all like rabbits, rushing in with red eyes.
If there was only one White Pictures, it would be an alternative, and now that there is a second one, there may be a third.
Hollywood is really crazy, isn't it just a big production?
Who else wouldn't know this, as for good directors, there is no shortage in Hollywood, as long as your script is powerful, then what matters, you can spend money to smash it out.
As for William White's plan, they really don't know what to say.
Anyway, if you have money, you can just toss it.
Lucas doesn't talk about investment, he has Star Wars in his hands, so he naturally knows how profitable peripheral products are, and needless to say, those laser swords will bring him a lot of wealth every year.
Jurassic Park is naturally the same, everything is ready-made, isn't it just buying dinosaurs?
Look at those Transformers, it's crazy with jealousy.
Of course, the most aggrieved thing is Gundam, who felt that it was sold for a sky-high price at the time, but now when he turns his head, the wealth of hundreds of millions of dollars is gone.
The entertainment industry is so promising, it will naturally attract off-the-counter funds, not only the comeback of European conglomerates, but also the desert tyrants, who are also ready to move.
Hollywood's securitization is very thorough, and one of the factors behind the slow pace of filming actually has a lot to do with Wall Street.
The producer gets the investment through the investment bank, which then turns the investment into bonds. If you think about it, you can understand that if the shooting is completed in two months, these bonds may not be sold yet.
While making a movie, you sell bonds at the same time, and when your movie is almost done, then sell it at a high price and buy it at a low price, which is actually similar to stocks, but the management is not so strict.
Today's rice country, in fact, there is no shortage of funds, if it weren't for that damn interest rate, the economy might have improved a long time ago.
"Daddy, still can't you?"
"I don't agree, Reagan is already mad, and there is obviously no inflation, but he still tightens the monetary system. ”
"It's useless to be angry, they probably have bigger plans and won't explain this to a vice president. ”
"Hmph, these bastards, though, Daddy William White doesn't seem to believe that the economy will improve, and I asked him what he had to invest in, and he told me to buy Coca-Cola stock. ”
"Tsk, so what are you waiting for?"
Since William White bought Coca-Cola's stock, it has now doubled. It's only been a long time, and it's terrifying.
It's funny, those Wall Street guys. Always thinking about fooling William White to invest, I really can't figure it out, buddy really looks so stupid.
This product is actually bad, and what people value most is not his beautiful knives.
Wall Street guys. Probably the most superstitious group of people in the United States, William White only needs to buy a little stock symbolically, then they can promote it well.
It's just a pity that William White doesn't want to see these bastards.
