With the opening of the summer season, the box office market once again proves the strength of Marvel movies!

Warner Bros. launched the epic blockbuster "Troy" this summer, and in the first week of its release, the North American box office only received $45 million.

In contrast, Marvel Studios' "Ghost Rider", which has been released for a week, has reduced its box office by only 42.2% in the second week after the North American box office of $90 million in the first week, earning another $52 million!

continues to dominate the North American box office charts!

In the first two weeks of its release, Ghost Rider has already grossed $142 million in North America, and the overseas box office has also begun to explode, reaching $150 million.

The global box office is approaching $300 million!

Such an amazing box office result, even Tang En didn't expect it.

Follow this trend...... went straight to the box office of $600 million.

The current Marvel Studios is becoming more and more unbeatable.

The fame has even overshadowed that of Down Pictures.

Don didn't pay much attention to this movie, and after arranging the preliminary preparations for "Avatar", he had more energy to pay attention to "The Avengers".

The script has been completed, and the ability of "Mirror Possession" Cameron has also been completed.

The choice of the main actors, there will also be no problems, it is a big series, and the cast list is decided.

"Spider-Man" is James Franco, "Iron Man" is Robert Downey Jr., "Thor" is Channing Tatum, "Hulk" is Eric Barna, "Ant-Man" is Paul Rudd, "Wasp" is Rose Byrne, "Pepper" is Jessica Chastain, and "Agent Hill" is Karin Vanas......

Don only needs to complete the final script review and get the storyboard done.

Next, his work will be busy.

In addition to the acquisition of the football club Liverpool, it will also set off a reshuffling women's rights storm this summer!

The big drama is about to kick off!

He must hurry up and complete the preliminary preparations for "The Avengers", and when he is busy with this summer's major events, he can make movies with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, the first person to come to the door was not Liverpool, but Comcast!

Steve Burke came in high spirits and brought a gift.

It's not expensive, it's a full disc of NBC's most popular TV series, Friends.

As soon as he saw this gift, Don understood.

"Talked?"

Don appeared in the living room with a smile and a groan.

Steve Burke had been waiting here for 10 minutes, and when he saw Donn, he immediately got up, lowered his posture, shook hands with him, and said gratefully, "Thanks to your help." ”

"I just said a few words casually, and I was polite. Don said modestly.

Steve Burke shook his head again and again, "A few words are enough." ”

Don glanced at him, "So...... The deal has already been confirmed?"

Steve Burke laughed: "There is still a little finishing work, but the big box has been determined, and there is almost a disagreement on funding, which is easy to resolve." ”

Tang En's heart has a pride that can't be concealed.

Comcast has been talking to NBC for more than half a year, and progress has been limited.

Unexpectedly, I came forward and said a few words, which played such a big role.

"You come over today...... Wouldn't it just be to show gratitude?" Don looked at him with a smirk.

It's not been a day or two since the two of them dealt with each other.

Steve Burke's ambitions, Don knows too well.

He was born in Disney, failed to ascend to the throne, and was ousted by Michael Eisner.

Just like Jeffrey Katzenberg back then, the biggest goal in this life is to prove that he has the ability to surpass Michael Eisner!

Jeffrey Katzenberg created DreamWorks, while Steve Burke ...... The choice is to turn to the TV empire Comcast and build an entertainment empire with the help of this powerful platform. (And it worked.)

Getting NBC is just the first step!

Cinema is the core!

Sure enough, the next thing I heard Steve Burke say, "Donn, that day...... You say NBC and Columbia Pictures could merge?"

Don smiled, "What do you say?"

Steve Burke pretended to be dazed and frowned: "Columbia Pictures' performance in the past few years...... It's not good. ”

"That's because their management is too low. Don spoke unabashedly sarcastically.

Steve Burke sighed: "Even so, Sony has no chance of selling Columbia Pictures. Ten years ago, those two Warner producers managed Columbia Pictures and gave Sony a $3 billion loss! At that time, the whole world thought that the Japanese would not be able to play in Hollywood, and they would be discouraged. Unexpectedly, they knocked out their teeth and swallowed them in their stomachs, and they survived. I have to say that the willpower of the Japanese is really strong. ”

"Knocked out your teeth and swallowed them in your stomach?" Donne's face showed a bit of mockery, "That's a few more...... Not to mention open surgery, you have to get appendicitis. ”

Steve Burke was stunned for a moment, not too understanding, "What do you mean?"

Tang En said lightly: "Hollywood has no Japanese territory, they don't have this qualification! The incident ten years ago, at first glance, was Warner playing behind the scenes, and the Japanese suffered a dumb loss and admitted it." In my opinion, the means are still lighter. ”

The means are lighter?

Steve Burke is a bit baffled.

Sony back then, but it paid a huge price!

In order to acquire Columbia Pictures, he was slaughtered severely, including the transaction price, taxes, debts, and consulting fees...... Sony spent a full $6 billion!

That's not all, Sony wanted Hollywood people to run Hollywood's studios, and as a result, it poached two producers from Warner to run Columbia Pictures.

And then in just five years, it lost $3 billion!

Until Howard Stringer came to power.

This person seems to be very reliable, and has been doing his best to assist the Japanese and help them manage their business in the United States, integrating companies including Samsung Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Columbia Records, etc., to create Sony Entertainment Group.

However, this man is extremely ambitious, he wants to become the president of Sony, and he wants to control the whole of Sony!

It can be said that Sony has started a downhill road from the day it reached into the American market.

Actually, it's not just Sony.

Including Panasonic, Sigram Group, Vivendi, and many foreign companies that wanted to enter the U.S. market but were severely sanctioned by the Department of Justice......

See what a generation of media tycoon Murdoch did?

He is Australian, and News Corp started out as an Australian company.

In order to develop smoothly in the United States, Murdoch changed his nationality and became an American, firmly devoted himself to politics, and sided with the Republican Party. News Corp.'s headquarters also moved to the U.S. and relisted in the U.S.......

Every country has its own homeland protection, and the United States, which advocates freedom and openness, is no exception!

"Put Columbia Pictures ...... Even the entire Sony Entertainment has been brought back to the arms of the United States, and it is conceivable that this must be a situation that the official is willing to see. ”

Don glanced at Steve Burke meaningfully.

The internet is getting hotter...... As a well-known operator, Comcast naturally has to march into telecom operation when the TV operation business is saturated.

Laying optical fibers is one of the preparations.

This requires a massive groundbreak, which requires official support.

Steve Burke gave Don a surprised look, then nodded, "I understand what you're saying, in fact...... If possible, I'm willing to push for the merger of NBC and Columbia Pictures. Not only that, but the whole of Sony Entertainment, you can. But the question is...... The Japanese don't agree, what can they do?"

"If they don't agree, find a way to get them to agree!" Don said in a cold and unceremonious voice.

"How?"

Steve Burke looked at him in amazement.

Don smiled, "Steve, I'm the boss of New Universal, and I seem to be with you Comcast...... Besides, isn't the NBC deal my human factor?"

Steve Burke blushed and said, "I almost forgot, the development of the TV network is really good, Comcast operates more than 18 million users, and it is estimated that it will exceed 20 million this year." We intend to further reduce our commission. ”

"Oh?

“5%！”

"Really?"

Tang En shook and raised his eyebrows slightly.

That's a lot of money!

Back then, when Comcast held the exclusive rights to operate the STA television network, it also took an 8% cut of subscription revenue. Later, the exclusive operation right was cancelled, and it became 10%.

Unexpectedly, I made a direct discount!

Powerful!

That's not enough, though.

"STA is growing its business in Europe, can Comcast help?"

"No problem! Not to mention Europe, even Latin America!"

Steve Burke is full of confidence.

95% of Comcast's operations are in the United States, with only a tiny fraction in Europe and Latin America...... Not even at all.

But it doesn't matter, this does not affect the human relations of this TV empire in today's world TV business landscape.

Many TV operators in Europe, Asia, and Latin America are followers of Comcast, and this is after all technology from Bell Labs.

When the deal was reached, Don didn't care about it, lowered his voice, and showed an unfathomable expression: "Woody Allen's incident, you always know, right?"

"His ex-wife accused him of sexually assaulting her daughter?" Steve Burke looked confused, not understanding what Donn meant.

Tang En said quietly, "What is the result of this matter?"

"The result?"

Steve Burke gave Donn a deep look, strange in his heart.

Didn't you suppress it?

Does this have anything to do with the acquisition of Sony Entertainment's business?

Don shook his head and simply said bluntly: "Woody Allen is wronged, Mia Farrow used the child's innocence to deceive the public and the world!"

"And then?"

"You forgot?"

"What?"

"Michael Jackson!"
