When Zhang Fan was looking for ABC TV to do movie promotion, he was talking about the long history of the cooperative relationship between us, and how good the relationship between the two sides is. And ABC TV also said that it had a good relationship with Zhang Fan and was willing to do the best service for Zhang Fan.

In fact, both sides know that these are lies. It's just to make it seem like they're working together. What is really absolutely all is the interests, the interests of the common concern of both sides.

Although Zhang Fan and ABC TV are still cooperating with American Idol, a variety show with explosive ratings in the United States. But there is absolutely no way for this partnership to affect other aspects.

The reason why it looks so good is that on Zhang Fan's side is because it is almost the same to choose any TV station. BC Television is an important part of the Disney Group, and they have a strong influence on the entire group. Maintaining a good relationship with him will have unexpected benefits for Zhang Fan when he starts with Disney in the future.

ABC TV, on the other hand, is much simpler, just for profit.

Zhang Fan found a TV station to do propaganda for money, and the price was expensive. Many TV stations offered Zhang Fan generous contracts to win the business, but Zhang Fan gave it to ABC TV. That's a lot of money for ABC.

And the super program American Idol produced by ABC TV authorized by Zhang Fan is about to expire. With such an ace show, they can't give up anything, and their attitude towards Zhang Fan is naturally very friendly.

At the end of the day, it's all about the money.

"If you want to make a lot of money in a short period of time, you have to invest." Eddie thought about it carefully, "Speculation in futures, oil, gold, commodities, etc. Or invest in stocks, and you can make a lot of money by investing in stocks on a large scale. It's just that the stakes are also very high. ”

The risks of stock speculation are different, and every year, countless people who go bankrupt because of stock speculation jump from the roofs of high-rise buildings. This is enough to prove how dangerous it is to trade stocks.

And the risks in futures are even greater than in stocks. Casual price fluctuations can lead to incalculable profits or losses. Especially if you can use leverage, bankrupting is just a matter of a snap of a finger.

The so-called leverage is the bank collateral. By depositing a sum of money after opening an account, the bank can give you from two to many times the amount of leveraged funds you have in the amount of your principal. The money is borrowed from the bank. Some banks even dare to offer customers up to 20 times leverage!

In other words, if you save 10,000 yuan in your account, you can mobilize a full 200,000 yuan for speculation.

It looks beautiful, but it means that if you fail, you will owe 200,000 debts! And the banking industry is not stupid, they will set a bottom line in the operation, and once the price falls below this bottom line, they will be forced to liquidate. At that time, not only did I lose the principal, but I also had to owe a lot of money to the bank. At the same time, it owes high interest to the bank.

Borrowing money is not an easy thing to do in this world. Just look at the news that families have been ruined because they have been forced into debt to know the dangers of borrowing money. And in ancient times, there were many people who had to sell everything because of borrowed money, and even sold their children and wives were not enough to pay off their debts, and eventually they had to sell themselves. body things.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan wanted to shake his head. He didn't dare to speculate in stocks and futures. Many elites who specialize in this industry, have many years of experience and smart minds have fallen on this. Zhang Fan doesn't think he's smarter than those elites.

But at this moment, Zhang Fan suddenly thought of what if he used lucky charms when trading stocks? Can lucky charms that bring good luck work?

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't sit still.

Lucky charms definitely have a role. It's just that Zhang Fan wasn't sure how useful the lucky charm would be if he wanted so much. After all, this thing is just to make your luck better, not the Great Mantra, which is what it is.

"It's not very difficult if you just want to make a small profit. After all, boss, you have a lot of money. Eddie didn't notice the change in Zhang Fan's mind, and was still talking to himself, "But if you want to make tens of billions of dollars, it took Buffett decades to do it." If that's the case, you might as well go to Las Vegas, boss. ”

"Can Las Vegas make tens of billions?" Zhang Fan laughed: "I guess I'll be thrown out of the casino just after I won a few million, right?" ”

"Not really." Eddie also laughed, "With your net worth, the casino will give you at least hundreds of millions of limits." It's just that if you want to win tens of billions of dollars in the casino, it's useless for the God of Gamblers to come. ”

"There are no formal investment projects?" Zhang Fan was a little irritable. Such a big gap is really desperate.

"It was a great opportunity to invest in Apple a few years ago." Eddie spread his hands and looked helpless, "But no one knew that this company would suddenly break out." If I had known, I would have invested all my money in buying Apple stock. ”

"Apple?" Zhang Fan thought about it and confirmed that Apple is indeed a good investment project. Unfortunately, the best chance was a few years ago, before the appearance of the masterpiece that swept all the other competitors into the dust. As for now, even if Zhang Fan invests all his net worth, he can only buy a small amount of Apple shares, and it is estimated that even one percent is not enough. And the price has stabilized, and there is not much profit at all.

"Boss, if there is really such a good project that makes money, I will take the initiative to invest in it." Eddie's profession is in the entertainment industry, and he is an authentic layman when it comes to investing in something. He can only say a general idea, and he will never dare to really point out the project to Zhang Fan. If this investment fails, then Zhang Fan won't have to eat him?!

"Forget it, I'll think about it again." Zhang Fan sighed and did not continue to embarrass Eddie. Then he changed the subject and asked about the release of Captain America.

"Captain America's opening weekend grossed over $80 million in North America!" After talking about professional issues, Eddie instantly became energetic: "We are the first big production released in the summer. The response from the audience has been very good, and the box office in North America is estimated to exceed at least 350 million! ”

"What about the overseas box office?" As Hollywood movies exploded the world's film market, the overseas box office gradually began to surpass North America to become a super box office. The overseas box office also accounts for an increasing proportion of the total box office of the movie!

"According to analysts' estimates, the outlook for Captain America in overseas markets is not optimistic because of production concepts." Movies with an American theme, such as Captain America, must be a big hit in North America, but it is almost certain that they will be given a cold reception when they go abroad. After all, although American culture has swept the world, it has not yet reached the point where people can accept anything.

"How much?" Zhang Fan attaches great importance to these analysts, because their professional analysis is basically eight or nine. It's completely different from the so-called brick beasts who run trains with their mouths full. These are real professionals, not idiots who eat and drink with a mouthful of bullshit.

"Captain America's overseas box office is estimated to be difficult to reach $200 million." When Eddie said this conclusion, he was still a little worried that Zhang Fan would not be able to accept it, but Zhang Fan was not a person who could only gain benefits and not suffer losses.

"Okay." Zhang Fan nodded: "At least it can exceed 100 million." ”

It's normal for American-style main theme movies to be a big hit in North America, but they are treated coldly abroad. Zhang Fan's expectation for this movie is that the global box office can exceed 500 million US dollars, which can be regarded as a big success.

The revenue of the film does not depend mainly on the box office, but the box office is the cornerstone of all merchandise. If the box office performance is not good, then there is no way to talk about other things such as DVD copyrights, TV station broadcast rights, and merchandise sales. Even if it is sold, the price will be suppressed very low.

And if the box office performance is excellent, then all kinds of peripheral income will also rise. The better the box office performance, the greater the rise. This is the real reason why many film companies are desperately promoting the competition and trying to win high box office.

If you are completely dependent on the box office, then you can really only pray for God to be able to sell every movie. Hollywood's big studios have long passed this stage of relying solely on the box office.

If Captain America can make more than half a billion dollars at the box office, it will be a huge success. The value of its surroundings will also rise.

"By the way, how about Disney? Is there a threat? After learning about Captain America's box office, Zhang Fan turned his attention to his main target, Disney.

"Haha~" Eddie laughed when he heard this, "Boss, Disney is not that scary." They are also film companies, and they also have to abide by the laws of the film industry. This time, Disney produced a song and dance youth, a small-budget movie. Find a group of young people to play youth films. The total cost is less than $10 million. How could it be a threat to our big productions? ”

"Really?" Zhang Fan nodded: "Then how are their box office results?" ”

"They won't be released until this weekend, but it's estimated that the total box office will be tens of millions at most." Eddie was clearly not interested in this small-budget film, "The real highlight of Disney's summer season this year is the Chronicles of Narnia, and the release time they chose was the same weekend as our second Iron Man film. That's the real competition. By the way, the same goes for Pixar's animated films and Disney's animated films. ”

"Don't underestimate any opponent." Zhang Fan's expression became serious: "There are more things about small-budget movies breaking out at the box office. Maybe Disney's movie won't be too high at the box office, but if they make a big profit, even if we fail. So, when they release this week, they have to block it as much as possible. Let the propaganda department fire on all the firepower and try to attract all the audience to our side! ”

"Yes boss. I know. Add nodded vigorously. This is not perfunctory, but really advanced into Zhang Fan's words.

Zhang Fan's continuous success in the film market has made the company's people respect him more and more. This is Zhang Fan's respect in exchange for strength, and this is true in any industry. Powerful people will be valued wherever they are!
