Chapter 168: Young and vigorous, fooling around!
In the first two years, the focus of Tang's work was on the movies he shot, and now Tangen's focus has been on the company.
The related work has been completely handed over to Marvel Studios to handle, and even the publicity work has not been participated.
In fact, there is no need for him to continue to participate.
Now Donne's reputation is in full swing in North America, and he is definitely the best choice for this year's "most popular person".
His deeds across Hollywood and Wall Street, as long as people who watch the news, almost all of them are spread by word of mouth, and his fame is too great!
This has led to his movie becoming the most anticipated movie this summer!
Now, the starring role of Tom Cruise has been released in North America for 9 days, and the North American box office is as high as $103 million, making it the hottest movie at the moment.
However, compared with the ones that have not yet been released, the popularity is even worse.
Basically, before they met, they were already defeated.
Now, the most bitter ones are naturally Fox and Disney, who have adjusted the schedule of blockbuster movies in the summer for the sake of sanctions.
However, now, the name appears in all kinds of media, as long as Tang En is reported, it will definitely not be mentioned.
The new work of the director, who is worth 5 billion, is it not worth watching?
As for and, I'm sorry, even if there are movie stars like Nicolas Cage, Matt Damon, and Drew Barrymore in these two movies, there is still a big gap compared to Donn's popularity.
Especially in June, the authoritative financial magazine announced the list of the world's richest people as of May 22, 2000!
Microsoft founder Bill Gates continues to rank first with a net worth of $60 billion, Oracle President Larry Ellison ranks second with a net worth of $47 billion, Warren Buffett ranks third with a wealth of $28 billion, and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen also ranks fourth with a net worth of $28 billion.
Subsequently, the fifth is Saudi Prince Arsu, with $20 billion;
the sixth is to control the Albrecht family of the German Aldi supermarket chain, 20 billion US dollars;
the seventh is Walmart Chairman Robertson Walton, $20 billion;
the eighth is Masayoshi Son, an Asian investment tycoon and founder of SoftBank, with $19.4 billion;
The ninth is Michael Dell, founder of Dell, with $17.8 billion;
The tenth is Canadian media mogul Kenneth Thompson, $16.1 billion......
Li is the richest man in China, with a net worth of $11.3 billion, ranking 22nd.
As for Don Walker...... The total number of assets given by the magazine is $6.3 billion, ranking 58th in the world!
In the ranking of the world's richest people under the age of 30, Tang En deservedly ranks first, and Tang En still ranks in the top three in the ranking of the richest people under the age of 40!
As soon as this issue of the magazine was announced, it seemed to add fuel to the fire, making Don's momentum expand, ferocious, and swelling again!
β¦β¦
The office of the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox was a mess, with glass shards of broken cups everywhere.
Tom Rothman's face was gloomy like a dark cloud in the sky, and he stared viciously at West Cotton, the director of the distribution department, "I'll just ask you, can the schedule be changed?"
West Cotton said bitterly: "It's late, now there are only 20 days left before the scheduled schedule, we have even sent out the copies, and the theater side is ready for all the releases." β
"That means it can't be changed?"
"Can't!" West Cotton said in a resolute tone, and then sighed, "Tom, changing the schedule at this time will cause great trouble to the work of the theater chain, and you will have to bear a huge amount of liquidated damages!"
Tom Rothman's teeth ached, and his legs under the desk trembled slightly, "Do you want to watch our movie fall at that bastard's feet?"
West Cotton was sarcastic.
Originally, he set a scheduled schedule for mid-July, which happened to avoid the sharp edge of the first half of the month. But Tom Rothman's brain seemed to be convulsive, and in order to breathe, he forcibly adjusted the schedule and wanted to fight in the ring.
Isn't this looking for death?
It's Donn's movie, with an investment of up to $150 million!
What is it? Even Fox's marketing department is not optimistic!
This Tom Rothman, it's not enough for him to die, but he still wants to pull Disney, do you want to tell the board that you have a good relationship with Disney?
Hehe, wait for Disney's box office fiasco under the impact, and then you won't please both ends, see what you do!
If you don't get it right, you will be in power at the beginning of the year, and you will have to step down at the end of the year!
"Speak, dumb?" said Tom Rothman, slamming the table and scolding viciously.
West Cotton frowned slightly, and said with anger: "Boss, no matter what, it's not feasible to change the schedule, Disney, don't you also pinch your nose and admit it?"
"And what do you think of now?" said Tom Rothman, staring at him intensely.
West Cotton hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "I heard that the publicity budget is 100 million US dollars, and Done Walker is so famous now, it is impossible to fight it." β
It can be said that as long as the quality of this movie is passable, with the current publicity offensive of Universal and the influence of Donne, it will definitely be a box office hit.
"Are you talking nonsense?"
Tom Rothman is not stupid, although he is unwilling to have a thousand or ten thousand in his heart, he also knows that the general trend is inviolable, and his encirclement and suppression of Donn has completely failed.
His actions in the past two months have not only not harmed Tang En and Tang En Pictures in the slightest, but have fueled Tang En's momentum.
It backfired!
If it weren't for the joint action of Fox and Disney, where Done Walker's name was repeated in the media every day, Done would not have gained such fame now.
It's just stealing chickens and rice!
Tom Rothman was annoyed by his stupidity, he was now ulcerated in his mouth, and he had been to the doctor for three days in a row, as if there was a fire in his heart, burning him to the point of exploding.
West Cotton clenched his fists angrily, and could only stubbornly say: "In the same schedule, the three strong films released are , respectively, and. Since the status cannot be shaken, if our films want to get more scheduling rate and market share, we must grab that share. β
His words were decent, and they were the best of a normal distribution leader.
But this time it touched Tom Rothman's scales, and he slapped the table heavily, and he was furious!
"Are you trying to kill me? bastard, get out of here!"
Tom Rothman's appearance borders on madness.
At this time, for the sake of the box office, to suppress Disney's movies, what is the difference between that and a provocation?
It was he who secretly brokered and instigated Disney to adjust the movie schedule. Seeing that the situation is not right now, he abandoned his allies, and he still wants to lose his face?
Now, Tom Rothman has completely torn his face with Donn Films, and indirectly has a disagreement with DreamWorks and Universal, if he falls out with Disney again, won't Twentieth Century Fox be embattled?
He, the chairman of the board of directors and the chief executive officer, will bear the brunt of the responsibility, and it is doomed to get out.
At this time, you can only continue to maintain your friendship with Disney, and you must not provoke!
It's not in Fox's interest, but it's in Tom Rothman's!
West Cotton secretly sneered, idiot!
He certainly understood Tom Rothman's thoughts, and was simply naΓ―ve.
At this time, only competition can survive.
If Fox doesn't rob Disney, won't Disney rob Fox?
The investment was only 75 million US dollars, because the marketing department was not optimistic, and the publicity expenditure was only 20 million US dollars.
But what about the cost of $90 million and the publicity cost of $60 million, with such a big investment, can Disney just say it?
No wonder they say don't make a decision when you're angry, and now Tom Rothman is simply brainless.
West Cotton shrugged his shoulders indifferently and turned to leave.
In the office, there was another crisp sound of a water glass cracking, and an angry roar.
At this time, Tom Rothman's secretary cautiously walked in with a new cup and whispered, "Boss, do you want to see the news? It's from Down Pictures." β
"News, news!hmm...... Wait, what are you talking about?Don Pictures?" Tom Rothman raised his eyebrows, and his face became a little more gloomy.
The secretary said timidly: "Yes, it's Don Pictures, and they have reached more than a dozen strategic cooperation with Hasbro." β
"Hasbro?" Tom Rothman was slightly stunned, "Isn't that a toy company?"
"Yes, it's a toy company! I heard that Towne Pictures seems to be interested in developing the toy rights of Hasbro, and now it is being broadcast live on TV, and the press conference is very hot. β
In this era, IP strategy has not yet emerged, and even if Tom Rothman is well-informed, he can't figure out Done's routine.
Partnering with a toy company to develop film rights for toys?
Are you kidding!
In the past few decades, it has always been dominated by Hollywood films, with film rights first, and then united with peripheral industries, including toy companies, to develop the derivatives market.
Tang En did the opposite, which was too nondescript.
How much risk does it take to make a movie?
How hard can it be to make a successful film that can drive a strong perimeter?
Therefore, Hollywood is developing original stories that belong to Hollywood, so that the copyright income from the sale of props can reach eighty or ninety percent of the total profit, so as to maximize the income!
But when the time comes to engage in the development of toy copyrights, after a lot of hard work and the film is made, how much profit share can the film company get? 20% or 30%?
The original copyright is in the hands of other toy companies!
Tom Rothman groaned slightly, and then snorted coldly: "Young and vigorous, fooling around!"
