Chapter 225 Jumping Pit
David was extremely aggrieved and said: "You can't do this, I didn't want to let this movie grow hair in the library, he must be released, a global sensation, I ......." ”
"It's five minutes!" Martin said, looking at his watch.
David said angrily: "Damn, you dare to drive me away? Who doesn't know that you have nothing to do, just hiding in the office and playing with women." ”
Martin said: "It's the same Ellison's children, why is the gap so big!"
David hated others mentioning this the most, and said angrily: "You guy, did you buy Colombia for fun?"
Martin shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I'm rich and willful, can't I? You're a rich second generation, don't you even understand this?"
David said, "How are you willing to release this movie?"
Martin said: "No money!"
David said, "What if I pay for the distribution costs in advance, and what if the box office revenue pays me the expenses first?"
Martin said: "Deal! You go to Mr. Layton and discuss what to do? What do you see? I've been working for two hours today, and even the two beauties in my room have been left out in the cold, so let's go!"
David had no choice but to leave and go to Leiden's office, with his deputy, Pascal, and they were now all sad faces.
David explained his intentions, and of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to say that I would pay the issuance fee in advance.
Layton looked sad: "The company has no money in its account, so it can only release two movies, Mr. Ellison!" He was polite to the guy who dared to pull out a gun with Davis.
David said, "Oh my God, is Davis' acquisition of Columbia Pictures a joke?"
Layton said: "For Davis, this company is for nothing, you can play it any way, and the worst thing is that he can sell it and cash out, he won't lose money." ”
David gritted his teeth and said, "These damn Wall Street capitalists, they don't want to play anywhere, they just come here." He made the offer.
Layton said happily: "Of course OK! You are really a big savior, I thank you on behalf of all the staff of Columbia Pictures, so many of us are waiting for the money to start work." ”
Pascal said: "You made a normal decision, our company has the best distribution team in Hollywood, and we will definitely be able to successfully promote this film." ”
But as soon as they calculate the promotion costs, David's requirements are very high, Los Angeles, New York, London, and Tokyo will hold premieres, and they will be released worldwide like Star Legend Prequel 3, and the global release will be huge, and the cost will be 40 million, which is still the internal price.
David was dumbfounded, damn it, playing movies is really a lot of money, this "Top Secret Flight" is the love of his life, and he has poured a lot of effort into it, he has great hopes for this, and hopes to build his Star Wars series, so he will be so active, such a large sum of money, but he can't get it, so he has to go back to his father for help.
Larry was unhappy and said: "Meghan has not asked me for money since she took 20 million to do business, and now she has laid hundreds of millions of assets, and you, who took 50 million, can't hear a sound, and now you have to make additional investments and pay 40 million in advance for the issuance of fees, you are stupid, Davis is a better person than a ghost, and even the Dongying people have suffered a big loss, you dare to do business with him, sell it and count the money back to him, sell the copyright in your hand, and go back to Oracle to help." ”
David said angrily: "You think I will lose money and will not be able to make a good movie?"
Larry said: "It's not, you are my son, you have the best genes, there is no problem with what you do, the key is that you play too big this time, you should learn from Meghan and Mark, make money when you make movies, play some small and medium-cost works first, and then make blockbusters when you make money, you look at Mark, how big the current "Wedding Guest" is, the cost is only about 50 million, and "Iron Man" is in preparation The investment has only exceeded 100 million, and they are the most profitable film companies outside of Hollywood giant companies, and they have to accumulate two years of experience before they dare to make blockbusters. ”
David said: "My surname is Ellison, how can I play these little fights? I want to become famous in one fell swoop, and a movie is famous all over the world." ”
Larry said angrily: "Why not? Could it be that the money surnamed Ellison will fall from the sky? Didn't you start with a thousand yuan back then? No matter what your surname is, it's good to be able to earn money, Meghan They are petty fights, but they have earned hundreds of millions, and I am proud of her." ”
David was very faceless and said, "Even you don't support me anymore?"
Larry said: "Why don't you learn from Megan? How did she get the money to buy Marvel? With the guarantee of the trust fund in her name, she borrowed hundreds of millions from the bank, borrowed chickens and eggs, and made money with money, and now you are the boss of more than one billion, and you only have a leather bag company." ”
Larry refused to give him any more money, but pointed out the direction and tricks for him, and David had to die of this heart, and led his lawyers and assistants to make a plan to borrow 50 million from the bank with the trust fund in his name.
When Meghan heard that David was doing this, she ran to the door and said, "Are you stupid? Davis is playing you like a fool, he won't be able to pay tens of millions of distribution fees, he is treating you as a big wrongdoer." ”
David heard this harshly, I'm a fool, you're smart, Larry is proud of you, I'm a loser, he said: "Davis didn't cheat me, I took the initiative, I can't let this excellent movie mold in the library." ”
Megan said: "Leave it to MM Publishing, we also have the best distribution team, and our "Wedding Guest" won $63 million in three days, and I won't charge you for the distribution fee." ”
David said: "Columbia Pictures is the majority shareholder of this film, do you think they will agree? Besides, can your distribution ability be compared to Columbia Pictures? You don't have overseas distribution capabilities, you can't afford to distribute this kind of A-grade blockbuster at all, why do I want your help, I can do all this myself, I will succeed." ”
Megan shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't mean anything, I just want to help you." ”
David said, "I know, you're just trying to show Larry that you're better than me." ”
Meghan also had a temper, shrugged her shoulders, turned around and left, but stopped at the door and said, "I never thought I was better than you." After saying that, she left, she was really disappointed in this old brother.
David pouted, you have the upper hand and take advantage of it, of course you will say so, when my "Top Secret Flight" is super popular and fame and fortune are reaped, I can also say the same.
Megan left San Francisco, flew back to New York, and came to Mark's office to talk to Mark about it.
Mark was very surprised and said, "It's all right, it's too risky, if the movie hits the box office, it's hard to recover this money." And he also knows that this movie is a street hit, or one of the top ten street movies, an investment of 130 million, and a box office of more than 70 million in North Mi, which is still the result of the promotion and distribution of Sooni Entertainment in its heyday.
Mark pondered for a moment and said, "Stop him from doing this." But then he shook his head again, not because he didn't know David, and said, "You can't stop him, maybe Larry can, oh! Larry can't either, no one can stop him, and the tuition is paid." ”
Megan said: "You don't like this movie?"
Mark said: "Who knows if it hasn't been released? But running a super blockbuster is a very systematic and professional thing, and it requires a professional team to execute, and now Colombia has not been reorganized, and it is not suitable for operating A-level blockbusters, and it is difficult for a movie to sell well, but it is easy to lose." "We are good friends and partners, but there are some things that we can't say, like David and Sophia, they can't say anything.
Mark has been staying in New York these days, and his main job is to carve out and restructure Marvel's business, and the movies that are selling big, with a dedicated team to follow up, are not much for him to do, and his main focus at the moment is on Marvel.
Originally, he wanted to rent a hotel or apartment, but considering the debt he owed and Giselle's kind invitation, he moved to Giselle and lived with his girlfriend, which is what young people should do.
Mark is quite happy these days, "Wedding Guest" reaps the box office with a sweep, he commutes to work on time every day, goes to see Giselle on the catwalk when he has time, and they all go shopping and shopping when they have time, and have a good time, and life is easy.
Whether it's Mark or Giselle, they are the kind of people who like to be home, like to come back and have someone waiting, happy to have dinner with the person they love, read a book together, watch TV and listen to music, or go to Broadway to watch an opera, of course, their favorite is to fall asleep with their arms in love, and then wake up together in the morning and go to the gym to do a workout.
Of course, Mark's life is destined not to be so bland, as a well-known figure, he has received many media interview invitations and party invitations, he only selectively participated in a few of them, in New York, his biggest wish is to clean up Marvel, and there is a good companion Giselle, feelings need to be cultivated, people are not together, where there will be room for cultivation? Now Mark feels that the small life is quite good, they live together every day, and the relationship is deep.
Even better, Donald lives in Philadelphia, and whenever he doesn't have classes in the afternoon, he gets up to dinner with Mark and the others, goes to parties together, goes golf together, and discusses and researches Facebook's development plans together.
Now Facebook is just a pure social entertainment website, which does not reflect much commercial value and practical application value, and has no advertising revenue, so there are not many products of the same type, and it has not attracted the attention of other Internet tycoons.
This is very important, the foundation of the business is the battle of capital, if people find that there is a profit here, and forcibly intervene before it develops strong, it is difficult to maintain the current transcendent position, just like they attacked Brother Gu, and forced to cut off the beard before going public.
Thank you to the local tyrant book friends The happiest thing is that you are fatter than me 50,000 starting coins big reward, thank you for the show, thank you, Commonwealth.
