Chapter 185: Another Record-Breaking

The current MGM Company holds the copyright of more than 2,000 films, but this is not a movie in MGM's golden age at all, but the film copyright of Luen Mei Company.

The film rights of MGM's golden age are now controlled by the MGM Library, now a subsidiary of Warner.

MGM's existing copyrights are only the film made by MGM after 1986 and the film rights of United Pictures in the past. But even so, the number of copyrights is twice that of Universal Pictures.

It can be seen how terrible MGM's copyright stock was back then.

Don is a bit alarmist, but after a period of contact, Ron Meyer knows that Don always says some inexplicable "big words", but after a while, it seems that there is always some truth.

The reputation of the Vivendi Group...... It stinks!

"What do you mean?" Ron Meyer pondered as he sat on the couch.

Don sighed: "No matter what, it is better to prevent problems before they happen, MGM's painful lesson has already been a wake-up call, right?"

Ron Meyer squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Universal is not MGM! In any case, the century-old foundation of Universal Pictures will not collapse in my hands!"

Don breathed a sigh of relief, "So, Lang, you're going to get some precautions to prepare. If Vivendi really wants to do it, there must be some countermeasures, right?"

"Confrontation?"

Ron Meyer raised his eyebrows and glanced deeply at Donn, feeling that he was suspected of sowing discord.

At the beginning, before Don made his fortune, he consulted the Seagram Group about the possibility of acquiring Universal Pictures.

At that time, the Seagram Group was bent on discussing mergers and acquisitions with Vivendi, and did not pay attention to Don at all.

However, Donn's ambitions for Universal Pictures still came out.

Ron Meyer knew that Donn now had a lot of money on his hands and had great ambitions for Hollywood, and he was interested in Universal Pictures, a century-old store.

As long as Vivendeken makes a move, he will definitely take the plate.

The key is...... Vivendi is also ambitious, and even has a greater appetite, wanting to open up the European and American continents and form a whole film industry. Even the TV station Canal + USA was incorporated into Universal Pictures.

Ron Meyer fell silent, pondering Donn's intentions.

Tang En said angrily: "Mr. Meyer, you are the executive officer of Universal Pictures, and the parent company is Vivendi, you can't fight with me, can I still harm you?"

Ron Meyer smiled self-deprecatingly and waved his hand, "Little one, I know what you mean. When I go back, I will talk to the management, coordinate all aspects of the relationship, and resolutely refuse the interference of the French. ”

Don nodded, "Do a little more preparation, it's always right." ”

Ron Meyer looked at him with a smile, "What about Marvel heroes?"

Don't worry about this, Marvel is the trump card of Don Pictures, and I can't take risks." Even if I have a conflict with Disney, there's Warner World, right?"

Ron Meyer's face was slightly gloomy.

Tang En smiled: "But don't worry, in a short period of time, I will not authorize any party." I can wait, if in two or three years, Universal Pictures can develop steadily and sustainably, I don't mind letting Marvel heroes log in to Universal Studios, whether it's Orlando or Osaka, it's no problem!"

"Is that true?"

Ron Meyer knows Donne's intentions, Marvel's superhero movies, definitely more than one "Spider-Man".

It is conceivable that in two or three years, Marvel's heroes will have much influence.

Tang En looked confident, "A word is a certainty!"

Two or three years, that's enough!

Unless another regenerate person comes, God will not be able to stop Vivendi's death......

……

Saturday, June 23rd.

Twentieth Century Fox's new film "." was grandly released under the expectation of Tom Rothman.

However, it was as if the feathers had floated into the sea, and there was not even a splash.

On this day, "Spider-Man" is still invincible.

God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!

Prior to this, Star Wars Episode 1: The Ghost Man Menace set a single-day box office record of $33.79 million, and this weekend, it was finally broken!

With a single-day income of $37.98 million, "Spider-Man" once again broke the record list after setting a new box office record in advance!

On the same day, the total box office revenue in North America was $46.36 million, and "Spider-Man" accounted for 81.9% exclusively!

So far, "Spider-Man" has received a total of $93.14 million at the North American box office after one day of advance and two days of release.

Because it was released on a weekend and in a short time, it was very difficult to break the first-week box office record of $133 million for "Star Wars Prequel 1".

But don't forget, "Spider-Man" was released simultaneously in more than 30 countries around the world!

After the weekend, after getting the overseas box office data, the total box office in the first week, let alone 133 million US dollars, even if it is 233 million US dollars, it is possible!

On this day, "Sixty Seconds of Extreme Speed" only received 8.4% of the film schedule, fortunately, because of the good quality of the movie, with the role of public relations, Nicolas Cage's negative news has decreased, and fans have begun to choose to watch the movie one after another.

On the same day, "Sixty Seconds of Extreme Speed" received $4.32 million at the box office, accounting for 9.3% of the box office in the case of 8.4% of the film schedule, which is good news.

In contrast, Brother in Distress "." is miserable, with a film scheduling rate of 14.5%, it only won $1.58 million at the box office on the first day of release, and lost to grandma's house!

There is no doubt that it will not take too long, and on Sunday, major theaters will adjust their film schedules, greatly reduce the scale of the screening of "."

As for Spider-Man...... No one can move!

……

There are now four major record labels in the world, EMI Records, Universal Records, Sony Records, and Warner Records.

Donn introduced Taylor Swift to EMI Records, where he studied music with John Calent, a well-known music teacher and producer.

He received a text message from little Taylor, which was very interesting: "Donne, you come to help, you must come, you must come! If you don't come, I will die!"

That night, Don went to little Taylor's house, Andrea was a little confused, and little Taylor was very excited, and ran down from the second floor with teary eyes, snorting and pouting, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Don glanced at Andrea, and saw that she was annoyed and a little helpless, a little funny.

Don't think about it, it must be this little girl who is in trouble and has been punished.

Don crouched down in front of her and said with a smile, "What's the matter, who bullied the lovely and brave Miss Swift again?"

"My mother!" little Taylor glanced at Andrea angrily, wrinkled his little nose and said, "Don, you fired my mother, she's so bad!"

"Huh?"

Don and Andrea were shocked at the same time.

This little Taylor, too, is too nonsense?

Andrea works in the personnel department of Down Pictures, which is very leisurely, and basically belongs to the position of receiving a salary and making a living.

"Why?"

Don looked at her amusemently.

Little Taylor tilted his head and said angrily: "She won't let me watch "Spider-Man"!"

"Huh?"

Don was slightly stunned and glanced at Andrea.

Although "Spider-Man" is PG-13 rated, it doesn't have too many shots, except for a few action scenes that are a little hot and may scare children, everything else is normal.

Andrea gritted her teeth and said, "Taylor, didn't I take you to the theater yesterday?

Little Taylor was a little weak-hearted, but he forced himself to be calm, "What's the matter, isn't it just watching a Donn movie, what's the big deal?"

Tang Enhu said with a grimace: "Taylor, tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing Don En straighten upset, his biggest backer was also a little angry, little Taylor lowered his head and pouted: "I just secretly watched "Titanic" once, and Andrea was angry and didn't let me watch "Spider-Man". ”

Well, I don't even call my mother anymore.

Don and Andrea's attitude is very consistent, "Titanic" is not "Spider-Man"! He frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Taylor, you are too nonsense, that movie ...... Not for your age. ”

"Why? Why can't children watch such a beautiful movie? I've watched it three times, and each time I've been moved to cry for a long time!"

"Three times?" Andrea noticed her daughter's gaffe and pointed at little Taylor, so angry that she didn't know what to say.

Don frowned.

In his previous life, he liked Taylor Swift's songs very much, and he also liked her figure and face no less than that of an angel supermodel, but her left boyfriend and another boyfriend's private life were very criticized.

In this life, he was fortunate enough to meet young Taylor Swift very early, and of course he hoped to do something to change the trajectory of her life.

Just little Taylor...... It seems to be very disobedient.

"Taylor, the movie "Titanic" has a lot of shots that are not suitable for your age to watch. Don had no choice but to persuade him.

Little Taylor flashed his big eyes, tilted his head and asked, "What kind of shot, I think it's all okay?"

Tang En said in a deep voice: "There is a naked scene there!"

Little Taylor disagreed, "Kate Winslet? I think she's beautiful." Besides, what's the big deal, I'm a girl, and I've taken a shower with my mother, so haven't I seen anything?"

"Ahem!"

Don En's face turned red, and he was speechless.

Andrea was also embarrassed and eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, "Taylor, don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, it was meant to be!"

Little Taylor pouted and refused to admit defeat.

Don has a headache, it seems that it is really difficult to change a person's personality. It's better to be sparse than blocked, just take a step and see a step!

"Forget it, since you want to watch "Spider-Man", then watch it. Don waved his hand, stood up, and said to Andrea: "Tomorrow night, I will ask Universal to help arrange a special show, and all employees of our company can go to see it for free, and when the time comes, you can take Taylor with you." ”

"Oh yes!"

Little Taylor cheered excitedly and jumped up.
