Towards noon, Andy took a helicopter back to his old nest of the Palace of Versailles, and sat in the luxurious living room, contented, sipping coffee while flipping through today's newspaper.

"If the box office is less than 90 million in the first weekend, there will be no sequel!" Andy Smith. ”

"The incredible Iron Man!"

"Interesting summer box office bombs. ”

"A thrilling, innovative movie that is enjoyable to watch, and that's what is lacking in superhero movies today!"

Not only are major newspapers hyping up the excitement of "Iron Man", but even the harsh film critics, 7655 netizens on the DB website scored a high score of 8.4, and the 94% praise rate on the Rotten Tomatoes website also proves the status of this entertainment blockbuster in the minds of the audience.

Not only did it win a high reputation, but last night's North American premiere was 4,105 theaters, ranking ninth in film history. The box office of the premiere reached more than 30 million US dollars, and it should not be difficult to break 100 million in three days.

In fact, the production cost is about 150 million US dollars, and the publicity cost is 75 million US dollars, "Iron Man" swept the box office of 104 million US dollars in three days over the weekend, and deservedly became the North American box office champion this weekend, and quickly burned the summer box office stalls, which also added a lot of pressure to the next dozen or so films, many famous sequel masterpieces, have begun to have a headache and "Iron Man" collided, and the profound influence of "Iron Man" has just been revealed...

There is no doubt that "Iron Man" was the first film in 2008 to break 100 million at the box office in its first weekend, and its timely arrival swept away the gloom of the North American box office.

At present, the overseas revenue of the three days of the weekend is 96.75 million US dollars, plus the local income, the global box office revenue is 201 million US dollars, and the global box office exceeded 200 million in three days of release.

Not only will it be announced that there will be a sequel to "Iron Man" soon, but it will also mark that thousands of other super comic book heroes under Marvel will be useful again.

And all the media and Hollywood studios had to marvel once again at Andy Smith's genius brain, and Marvel's market capitalization soared again, up to $4 billion.

Of course, in order to maximize the box office, Andy let Robert Downey Jr., who turned over the salted fish, and Kate Beckinsale, who has been secretly tryst with him for the past two days, began to run the promotion of the National Race.

Andy's original words to them were, "Run down 100 promotions, and the second part can give you a higher salary and salary ceiling!"

After all, Andy set up a strict contract in order to prevent Robert Downey Jr. from becoming popular and asking for the same sky-high price as in his previous life, not to mention any kindness of acquaintance, or gratitude, it was all nonsense in front of interests, "Iron Man 3", Downey not only got a salary of 50 million and dividends, but also controlled the crew almost the whole time.

Although there is also a clause of increasing remuneration, JIAN is like Andy, how can he let others take advantage. Since he didn't pay Donnie $500,000, which was obviously a bully, he naturally wouldn't accept Downey's idea of sitting on the ground and starting the price, controllable is his favorite rhythm.

The success of "Iron Man" has made the whole Hollywood know that Andy Smith's position here is getting stronger and stronger, and he is already a veritable Hollywood boss, as long as he can make money, there will naturally be many people around him.

The big boss of Paramount called as soon as the box office came out, chatting with Andy to consolidate the relationship, and the other big ones even hoped to get a piece of the Marvel superheroes.

The most greedy and ambitious is undoubtedly Disney who wants to eat a giant Mac, they tried to contact Andy very early and proposed to acquire the Marvel Group, but the tentative component is very large, but seeing Marvel, which has been turned into gold and taken off, Disney finally couldn't sit still.

Kevin Meyer, then Disney's chief strategy officer, told the board members and CEOs of its subsidiaries at Monday's board meeting that Marvel Group is important to him in the Disney Boys market and hopes to get support to complete the acquisition of Marvel Group.

Just as far away as San Francisco, the largest individual shareholder of Walt Disney who can only participate in the meeting by video conference, Steve Jobs, who holds 7.7% of the shares, blinked his deep and intelligent eyes, touched the stubble on his cheeks, bowed his head and groaned, listened to the opinions of the board members, and cleared his throat.

"Andy Smith is not going to sell the Marvel Group... ”

Jobs's speech immediately quieted down Disney's board meeting, and they all focused on the computer monitor, looking at Jobs in the video, Disney CEO Robert Iger frowned and asked, "Steve, what do you think?"

"Among all of you here, I should be the only one who has dealt with Andy Smith the most, this young man is indeed a genius, whether it is strategic vision or in terms of employing people, he is admirable, and when dealing with him, you can't be blinded by his age, let alone despise him.

If you have read his information, you should clearly find that he is building his own entertainment media empire, in addition to not having completed the integration, the volume is not enough, each of his industrial puzzles at the beginning of the acquisition is not the best enterprise in the industry, even like Marvel Group is a difficult enterprise, but in his hands it has been integrated and revitalized.

What he values most is IP resources, the reason why he will not agree to sell Marvel is because of IP resources, although he is very good, but no one is perfect, and there are flaws in his character, such as possession of YU, control of YU, extremely vindictive and so on... Don't laugh, don't you feel like a child who doesn't grow up?

The problem is that even if everyone can't get used to him, there is nothing they can do about him, because he is too smart, just like now, everyone feels that Marvel is going to rise, but if anyone wants to get a piece of the pie, they can only go to him, you must know that most of his companies are his private property, and he alone has the final say!"

After listening to Jobs's words, as a good friend, Disney CEO Robert Iger flashed his eyes and said after a while: "What if we buy the entertainment media group that is still in its infancy as a whole? ”

"Hehe, Robert, unless everyone here agrees to give him the position of chairman of the board, he will only reply to you with a nasty hehe! His appetite for power is too great, and he likes to be able to carry out his decisions, and you can't satisfy him in a power structure that is within his control!"

Jobs, who was gnitted his teeth by Andy, studied Andy Smith's personality very thoroughly, after all, the opponent who suffered Andy's big loss was the one who knew him best.

Hearing Steve's words, there was an uproar in the conference room, how could their group of big men tolerate a 24-year-old child pointing fingers at them, all of them like old cats who have blown up, and began to spit and refuse the proposal to merge Marvel Group.

Chief Strategy Officer Kevin Meyer looked at the meeting and couldn't help but smile wryly, he knew that the acquisition of Marvel Group was no longer a joke, even if it was the most important part of Disney's strategic layout.

And Andy, who was in a meeting with a think tank that rushed to Los Angeles from Washington, naturally didn't know that Disney's board meeting was a pot of porridge because of his problems, and even if he knew, he would just laugh twice, and say with a light smile that they were also blind.

He has basically completed the layout of the entertainment media group, and what he needs is just an integration, how could he agree to be acquired by Disney and become a board member who doesn't count, he understands better than anyone else the truth that he would rather be the head of JI than the tail of the phoenix.

As for becoming Disney's largest individual shareholder, it is possible to be in charge of the giant Disney, Andy never thought about it, first of all, this is impossible, and secondly, Disney is too complicated internally, there are many factions, and the struggle has never stopped, in Disney, the board members have always been keenly interested in the succession of Disney's CEO, and are highly vigilant about the harm that too long a CEO will bring to the company.
