On Friday, March 10, the Nasdaq index reached an all-time high of 5048.62, more than doubling from 1999.

After the end of the week, on Monday, March 13, the processing of a massive initial batch sell order triggered a chain reaction of sell-offs: investors, funds and securities institutions began to liquidate.

These include a large number of high-tech companies such as Cisco, Microsoft, Dell, etc., which have sold off more than $5 billion worth of shares in total.

In just six days, the Nasdaq lost almost 900 points.

However, market analysts on Wall Street believe that this is just a correction for the stock market.

Because the federal government has launched an antitrust investigation into Microsoft, it will be announced in half a month. According to the grapevine, Microsoft's monopolistic behavior has been established.

Microsoft is the symbol of high-tech stocks, the company with the highest market capitalization in the world, and once Microsoft is characterized as a monopoly, the stock price will definitely be affected, affecting the entire stock market.

So at this stage, it is normal for the Nasdaq stock market to have some fluctuations.

Sitting in the office, Tang En put down the one in his hand, looked at the various analyses of the financial experts and stock experts above, and felt a little ridiculous.

At this time, Ella Fisher knocked on the door with a solemn face and came in, "Donn, Bill, please come over for a moment." ”

Don was stunned, a little confused, it stands to reason that he is the boss, and if there is a problem, Bill McNick should come to his office.

He didn't hesitate, got up and went to the president's office, and found that the room was full of smoke, in addition to Bill McNick, Andrew O'Haire, Nina Jacobson, Kevin Feige, Grant Hill and others.

"What's wrong?" Donn furrowed his eyebrows, realizing that something wasn't right.

Nina Jacobson said in a deep voice, "Donn, you've been targeted. ”

"I know Disney and Fox are banned from reporting. Don En smiled, looking indifferent, but found that everyone present was worried, "Is it ...... They're making a big fuss again?"

"That's true!"

Tang En sneered: "It's impossible to give an R grade, right?"

Bill McNick shook his head and said, "It's impossible, you can't get the PG level, and in the PG-committee, Universal Pictures is also a core member." ”

Don narrowed his eyes and looked around at everyone, and Kevin Feige, the youngest and youngest in the ranks, handed Donn a document, "Don, Disney and Fox have adjusted their schedules for blockbuster movies this summer. ”

Tang En suddenly realized, I see!

He quickly skimmed through the documents, and it was scheduled for June 22, which was Thursday, the premiere and early screening.

Disney's A-level production was originally scheduled for June 9, but after the schedule was announced, the release date was immediately revised and changed to a premiere on June 20 and a nationwide release on June 21.

Coincidentally, Fox's sci-fi action movie, which was originally scheduled for July 14, was also adjusted to premiere in the United States on Saturday, June 24.

Even a fool can understand that Disney and Fox are teaming up to target and suppress Down Pictures!

Don can understand Fox's move, after all, he broke off his cooperation with Fox, which had a very bad impact on Tom Rothman.

But Disney is going too far.

He just fought back against Bruce Willis, is it worth Disney's continuous threats, smears, and suppression?

Don't forget, it was Disney who was the first to stir up trouble!

If Disney hadn't let Bruce Willis make unfavorable remarks in order to suppress him, would Don have fought back?

But even so, Donn never targeted Disney, but just taught Bruce Willis a lesson.

Disney relied on the strength of the company, so it had the power to suppress Tang En Pictures, and if one wave didn't work, the next wave would come.

It's too much!

Donn was not annoyed by the actions of Twentieth Century Fox and Tom Rothman, and even thought of it today after he chose Bill McNick and broke off his collaboration with Fox.

What he hates is Disney, it's been half a year since Bruce Willis, and Disney is still chattering and besieging Donn Pictures, which is too deceitful!

Grant Hill was Done's partner at the time of filming, and he witnessed Jon Landau's exclusion from Hollywood and knew Donn's ruthless personality.

Looking at Don's gloomy face, Grant Hill said: "Don, it's actually not that serious, let's inform the world, adjust the schedule, and avoid them." ”

Nina Jacobson was the first to shake her head, "No, we are different from Disney and Fox, we are the works of Don Pictures and Marvel Studios, and we must give fans the greatest confidence and expectations." Adjusting the schedule is tantamount to admitting defeat. ”

Andrew O'Hare agreed: "Yes, the corporate culture of Tangen Pictures is 'hard work, struggle, and don't give up', and retreating before fighting is not our style!"

Don glanced at Andrew appreciatively, and sure enough, he was the elder of the company and understood his spirit very well.

Bill McNick glanced at Don and said earnestly, "I don't know about your personal situation, but I know the company's situation very well. Now the company only has $50 million on its books, and it will cost another expense to adjust the tax structure and company composition. In other words, the company's debt problem is very serious, and the box office cannot be damaged!"

Grant Hill agreed: "I agree that it's better to think long-term than to fight for the moment. As long as the box office is a big hit, will you still be afraid of the suppression of Disney and Fox?"

Donn stared at Kevin Feige, "What about you? Kevin, what do you think?"

Kevin Feige is the assistant to the president of Marvel Studios, the assistant producer, and the next Marvel president candidate in Donn's heart, and he intends to cultivate it.

Kevin Feige pondered for a moment, looking cautious as if he were giving a speech, "I think you all have a point. ”

Don was immediately angry!

Nonsense!

Kevin Feige saw everyone's strange faces, coughed lightly, and hurriedly added, "It is the first movie of Marvel Studios, with an investment of up to $150 million, and it is directed by Donn himself, we can't back down, which will not only make fans question, but also affect the director's image." ”

The crowd nodded.

Indeed, whether it is Tang En Pictures or Marvel Studios, in the initial stage, the real core is only Tang En, and he is the biggest source of confidence for fans.

In any case, it must not have a bad influence on Done's image.

"I knew that the film had a huge debt, so it had to be a success at the box office, and Bill and Grant were right. "Kevin Feige has a very low position and obviously doesn't want to offend the big guys.

Don frowned, not satisfied with his answer, his eyes fixed on him, "Then what do you think should be done?"

Kevin Feige met Donn's gaze and replied calmly, "Cold treatment." ”

"Cold treatment?"

"That's right! The confidence of the fans cannot be lost, and the box office of the movie cannot be less. The best way is to treat it coldly and wait and see what happens. ”

Don understood and laughed, "Kevin, it seems that you have a lot of confidence." ”

Kevin Feige's expression was firm, "I firmly believe that neither nor will it have an impact on the box office." ”

Bill McNick has not had much confidence in superhero movies and frowned, "This is too risky!"

Nina Jacobson said, "I think Kevin is right. We invested 75 million yuan, invested 90 million yuan, but we invested 150 million dollars! We don't look at the content, we don't look at the cost, we are not afraid of any opponent. ”

Andrew O'Hare noticed that Don was looking at him, and he also said: "Tang Pictures has produced before, encountered snipers, and suppressed them, but what is the result?

Bill McNick and Grant Hill looked at each other, their expressions a little shocked.

Don where did you get this group of executives?

It's a bunch of crazy people!

The box office market of movies is difficult for anyone to predict. There is a huge risk in it, and even the six major film companies have to find ways to avoid it.

But Don and his men ...... It seems that they never knew about the risks, and they are a group of crazy people who are trying to push forward.

is indeed a super blockbuster, even if it is in the same schedule as and , the possibility of success is very high.

But there is a risk of failure after all.

As a decision-maker in a company, shouldn't you try to minimize the chances of failure?

The interests of the company come first!

Donn understood Bill McNick's thoughts, he had worked under the supervision of the board of directors, and his way of working was to make less than lose money.

But Tang En Pictures is different, Tang En has absolute confidence in himself, and he will never let go of any money that belongs to him!

"My film, there is no risk!"

Don stood up from the couch and waved his big hand, directly setting the tone for today's discussion.

"I know what Disney and Fox are going to do, and they must have taken the risk that we were facing a debt crisis to teach us a lesson. However, they miscalculated!"

"That's it! Without Disney and Fox, the box office will be a big hit, and with Disney and Fox, the box office will definitely be a big hit!"

"Aren't they trying to suppress us? Okay, then let's have a serious game! I want to see what impact I can have on my movie with two bad movies!"
