Chapter 295: Lack of Money to Spend

Then comes the most important summer of the year. It's a feast for filmmakers all over the world. It is also a battlefield where filmmakers compete the most.

Zhang Fan's film company will have two movies released in the summer this time, and both of them are big productions.

At the beginning of the summer season, the movie Captain America will be released, and in the middle of the most prime time of the summer file will be the sequel to the hit movie Iron Man. These movies are all paving the way for the Avengers in the future, and this movie that Zhang Fan has high hopes for will be grandly released during Christmas!

The reason why this time period was chosen, in addition to staggering his two big-budget superhero movies, the most important reason was to block Disney. Because Disney will also have two big productions released in the same time period. Zhang Fan wants to hit their box office, which causes Disney's revenue to decline and the stock price to fall.

Trying to keep Disney's stock price falling is a long-term thing, and it can't be achieved overnight. However, it can come slowly, and after accumulating, it will have a catalytic effect like an avalanche at a critical moment!

In addition to the film company, Pixar, another company in Zhang Fan's hands, will also launch a heavyweight work this summer. Toy Story, which is planned by Zhang Fan, will also be released during this schedule.

Similarly, the animated film will be staggered and released at the end of the summer season with Disney's animated films. A cartoon used to stop Disney. If Disney's several blockbuster films fail in the all-important summer season, its stock price is bound to fall sharply.

Zhang Fan is very confident in his films, whether it is the Avengers or Toy Story, they are top productions. Even if Captain America is not very popular around the world, at least it is certainly not bad at the box office in North America.

Zhang Fan expects that this summer vacation will bring him at least more than $2 billion in net profits! And that's just the box office, and it doesn't include the peripheral income!

Such a terrible income is already an astronomical amount for the vast majority of people. A proper rhythm of a lifetime of luxury living. But for Zhang Fan, so much money is still far from enough.

Zhang Fan wants to build a global media conglomerate, which will become a media conglomerate that is bigger than Time Warner, News Corp. and Wilcom. The only option at this point is Disney. But Disney's market capitalization is a desperately high tens of billions of dollars. Even if Zhang Fan can earn billions a year, it is not enough for Disney to take the lead. If there is no other way, he must make billions a year, and it will take a dozen or twenty years to have a chance to scrape together the huge amount of money to buy Disney.

And if you really have to wait that long, the daylilies are cold.

Disney is such a delicious cake, but there are countless people who are thinking about it. At least Zhang Fan knows that several heavyweight groups are eyeing Disney.

Zhang Fan needs money now, a lot of money. And it takes time, and the sooner you buy Disney, the better.

At this time, Zhang Fan couldn't even buy Disney through a bank loan. After all, no bank would give tens of billions of dollars in loans easily. Especially when Zhang Fan can't take out the corresponding mortgage. Unless that bank was opened by Zhang Fan himself.

Although everything is going well at work, Zhang Fan has been very upset recently. It's a lot of scratching your head for money.

"I've been short of money lately, what do you say is the most profitable business?" At the Malibu Beach Villa, Zhang Fan, who had just attended the premiere of Captain America, leaned on the sofa and asked Lin Yueying in his arms boredly.

"Real estate?" Lin Yueying raised her head and looked at Zhang Fan.

"It's a good choice." Zhang Fan sighed: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all things that can make a lot of money." It's just that the water inside is too deep. Someone like me, who has just two small coins in his pocket, inserts it and the only result is to drown in the water. ”

Real estate is indeed very profitable, and Zhang Fan also has the strength to enter it at this time. However, this industry is not an industry that can be measured simply with money. Before you don't have enough strength, there is simply no way to engage in real estate.

"I don't know much about this." Lin Yueying changed her posture in Zhang Fan's arms and said softly, "Didn't you make a lot of money?" Why are you still short of money? ”

"I make a lot of money, but I spend more money." Zhang Fan closed his eyes: "Although I want to worry about food and clothing now, it must be no problem." But there is always something to be done in life. Life for 100 years is just a flick of a finger, and if you can't leave something to remember, you always feel a little regretful. ”

"You mean." Lin Yueying raised her head, her eyes wandering, "Don't want to live like a salted fish?" ”

"Haha~~~" Zhang Fan laughed, "That's right, that's what it means." I used to dream of being able to eat and wait for death. But now I want to make a career. Perhaps this is a change in identity, which has caused a change in heart. ”

"Anything goes." Lin Yueying closed her eyes and found a comfortable position in Zhang Fan's arms again, "As long as you like it." ”

Zhang Fan's gaze softened. With such a woman who only has herself in her arms, perhaps this is what men need most.

"Can you really do anything?" Zhang Fan lowered his head and whispered in Lin Yueying.

"Hmm." Lin Yueying nodded, and her voice was soft, "As long as I can be by your side." ”

"You'll be by my side for the rest of your life." Zhang Fan hugged the woman in his arms tightly, smiled in her ear and said, "I want to change my posture tonight." ”

Lin Yueying's face turned red and she didn't speak. Just nodded.

Zhang Fan was overjoyed, and then continued to speak, "Then I want to change the location, okay?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Yueying opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Fan suspiciously. She didn't understand what Zhang Fan meant.

"Hey, hey." Zhang Fan whispered a place in her ear with a strange laugh.

"You guy!!" Lin Yueying, who was still a good wife and mother before, and listened to you in everything, instantly transformed. He glared at Zhang Fan with a blushing face, "Are you a pervert?!! ”

"Haha~~" Zhang Fan laughed and reached out and hugged Lin Yueying directly to the princess. Ignoring Lin Yueying's struggle and resistance, she walked towards the bedroom.

"Are there any good business paths lately?" In Zhang Fan's office, Eddie, who reported to Zhang Fan about the release of Captain America, was stunned by Zhang Fan's question.

"Doing business?" Eddie sat down on the sofa and looked at Zhang Fan, "What business?" ”

"Any business can be." Zhang Fan leaned back on the backrest, "As long as you can make money." It's best to be able to make tens of billions of dollars in a short period of time. ”

"......" Eddie looked at Zhang Fan speechlessly. He thinks Zhang Fan is joking, how huge is tens of billions of dollars? No matter how big the business is, it has to accumulate slowly. This is not Korean won!

"I'm not kidding." Zhang Fan looked at Eddie, "You also know that I want Disney, but Disney is too expensive." No matter how much you try to weaken Disney, it will take at least tens of billions of dollars to do it. After all, I can only fight them in terms of movies, but even without movies, Disney can still maintain its presence just by virtue of its own copyright and those Disney parks. It's really frustrating. ”

"That's why you want Disney. Isn't it? Eddie knows Zhang Fan's ambitions, and although he thinks that it is very difficult to do this, people with lofty goals will always be respected.

"So I need money, a lot of money." Zhang Fan took a deep breath, "And fast." After all, Disney may be the last target in the entire world that can cover influential film entertainment, online media and television networks. When I can see it, someone else can see it. Once someone snatches it first, there is really no more chance. ”

In the modern world, if a media group wants to become the top and has a huge influence, it must have a multi-faceted influence.

The first is the Internet, the modern world is the world of the Internet, and media without the Internet are destined to be eliminated. If you look at Time Warner, the alliance between Time Online and Warner is the best example.

And then there's the traditional media, which is television, newspapers, magazines, and so on. In the modern world, each of these traditional media that can survive under the tide of the Internet is strong. And their influence hasn't dropped much compared to what it used to be.

Disney also has its own network system, which is not top-notch but still develops well.

Whether it's News Corp, Wilcam or Time Warner or Sony. They all have their own large traditional media platforms.

News Corp's various newspapers, the most famous of which are The Sun, and Star TV are well-known media outlets around the world.

Disney has ABC, the world's top three super TV stations. Together with Disney's network, it makes for a huge influence-sending platform. Disney can use these platforms to carry out online viral marketing when releasing movies, and this is an excellent way to spread the word that other film companies that do not have various promotional networks do not have.

Zhang Fan's film promotion was also promoted through ABC TV. This seems incredible, when Zhang Fan and Disney are so opposed, ABC will actually promote Zhang Fan.

However, the actual reason is not complicated, because ABC TV is independent. Establish a business, profit and loss at your own risk. Unless Disney gave them a clear directive, ABC would not have been able to do business.

The more important reason is that in addition to ABC TV, Zhang Fan has other options. After all, the strength of several major TV stations in North America is almost the same. Choosing either one has the same effect. This is the real reason why Disney can tolerate ABC promoting Zhang Fan's movie.

There is no point in prohibiting ABC from doing business with Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan can continue with it. He is a buyer with money, and some TV stations are willing to make his money. In this case, Disney naturally turned a blind eye and acted as if he didn't know.

In the final analysis, any contradiction is for the sake of interests, even between Zhang Fan and Disney.
