Chapter 882: Second in Film History
"Very good, I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished product come out. Roy remembers hearing Leonardo mention it once, as if to say that the cutting of diamonds is a test of skill, and it takes a very experienced person to cut the most perfect facets to make the diamond appear brighter.
"Do I need to give someone else the cut of the diamond?"
Just because Bernie doesn't have the experience to customize diamond rings doesn't mean he doesn't understand what's inside. After all, he graduated from a top design school, and if he hadn't come back to take care of his mother, he would have gone to intern at a big-name jewelry company with other classmates.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Ji Xing. I would go to my teacher, who knew one of the best diamond cutters. In recent years, although he has not done it very himself, I believe that your diamond will definitely win his favor. ”
In his judgment, Roy's blue diamond is definitely the highest grade of flawless diamond, and a good diamond master will never resist the temptation to cut it perfectly. Watching a rough diamond shine in your hands is a sense of accomplishment for anyone.
Hearing him say this, Roy relieved himself: "Then I'll leave it to you, tell me if you need anything." ”
"Okay. Bernie was a little embarrassed, he knew that people said that because he didn't have any money, but he was right, he really couldn't even pay for going abroad to find a teacher, so why find someone to cut diamonds?
In the end, Roy generously signed a check for him to use.
The relationship between the two is also more interesting. A poor rookie designer dares to take over the design of millions of diamonds, and a diamond worth millions that can be said to be exchanged for his life can be handed over to a poor and inexperienced rookie designer to fiddle with, just because his girlfriend likes his design.
I guess no one will believe such a thing, and even if someone believes it, they will probably think that Roy is a stupid person with money and nowhere to lose, right?
The next day, Bernie locked the door and boarded a plane to find his teacher at school. With such a diamond in hand, he was confident that he could invite that powerful person out and work on it himself.
While Roy was waiting, the box office of "The Lord of the Rings 3" had climbed to 1.5 billion in the limelight, officially surpassing Leila's other works and occupying the second place in the box office list of film history.
Although there are still 300 million from the first "only", judging from the global box office decline, there is not much energy to continue to maintain box office growth. Many media predict that when the movie is released, it will probably be about 1.58 billion, maybe it may exceed 1.6 billion, but it will definitely not reach the more than 1.8 billion that brought "Titanic" down.
As a result, some media attracted attention with titles such as "Leila's Impact on the First Failure in Film History". The report believes that her strength is still poor, and it is impossible to hit the first place in film history now, and it may not be possible for a lifetime.
This made many people who cared about Laila angry, and many of them went to the media forums to post criticism. When did Lyra say she was going to hit the first place?
It would be even more ridiculous to say that her strength is still worse. Look at the box office rankings, the name of Laila Yishui, with such results, who dares to say that she is not strong enough?
After all, brainless media like this are in the minority, and there are still quite a few people who have made positive comments about Leila. They believe that it is a miracle that Leila appeared in this era, and believe that when her era passes, film history will be deeply engraved because of her existence, so that the world will always remember this incredible girl.
The box office of "The Lord of the Rings" ended with the end of the summer season. After watching it, fans said that it was the greatest movie they had ever seen, with a grand world view, a moving story, and beautiful scenery that fascinated them at every point.
There is no doubt that when the CD is sold, it will also bring a lot of money to Leila's company.
At the same time, the periphery of the movie will also create good results.
When it comes to selling merchandise, Japan is arguably the best place to do it. Their industrial chain is very mature, especially animation comics, small handkerchiefs and stationery, large models and COS, etc., which will tap the potential of interests very thoroughly.
It also sells a lot around the United States, but Leila feels that is not enough. Especially after the acquisition of Marvel, he took the Japanese set. If you like a hero, don't you want to have a set of his "equipment"? Wouldn't the clothes he liked, the glasses he carried, the props he used, the T-shirt pillow with his heroic image printed on it, and a series of products make your heart flutter?
In order to sell the surrounding goods more widely, she plans to open a few peripheral specialty stores in some of the more lively places in the city this year. Don't underestimate things that look like children's toys, if you know the profits inside, it will definitely shock everyone.
Leila knew it very well, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a plan. For example, if an ordinary pillow of equal length is about 20 yuan, it can be sold for 40-80 yuan after printing it with superheroes. If you make it more refined, you can continue to increase the price.
Are the fans stupid? No, it's their beliefs, and they're willing to spend some money to be closer to their beliefs. They put on superhero costumes, grab their props, and pretend to be the killer superhero. This gives them a tremendous sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
More importantly, opening peripheral stores is also a means of competition.
Imagine that you can always see a Marvel merchandise store on the street, don't you want to go in and have a look? Once you walk in, comic book fans will be attracted by the things inside, so DC comic book fans are very likely to be "rebelled" and become Marvel comic book fans.
And the comic book fans who are originally Marvel will also feel more real superheroes because of the existence of these peripherals, which will make them feel more belonging and connect them more closely with Marvel.
When Leila was in charge of the Moran Group, she didn't leave the company she had built behind.
Although Dragon Soul doesn't have her movies to make for the time being, those sequels shot by the directors she fancies can keep the company busy and won't stop because of her temporary departure.
When the Dragon Soul Company was first established, the entire company was serving her alone. At that time, she clearly realized that this was not the situation that a normal company should be, so she put the sequels out and hired many trusted directors to take over the sequels of her films.
