Towards October, matrix stocks are steadily rising, and Google is developing rapidly.

And the new world's top richest man has also brought earth-shaking changes to Chen Tiandu's life, and he actually received a ransom email in his mailbox. It's really strange to use a single email to blackmail a billionaire.

I don't know if it was a whim by a hacker, or if it was true, but he couldn't stay out of it, especially when Kate was pregnant. The security procedures for the newly moved Ocean View Villa in San Diego suddenly doubled, and even the Chinese Embassy in the United States was alarmed. In the end, I don't know which link leaked the news, but it was actually known by the media, and now it's okay, and the news is lively all of a sudden.

Chen Tiandu is even more tireless, because the incident has affected his family in China. In recent years, the family has changed a lot, but I can't change the habits of the little people in my bones, and I was frightened when I heard that I was inexplicably blackmailed. It is estimated that this is also the reason why the Chinese people pay attention to wealth and do not show it, if it is really a vote by an outlaw and leaves, it is really a big loss. He could not take any chances, so he had to seek the best security organization, and he was always with him to protect his important relatives at home.

f is investigating the source of this inexplicable email, and there is everything in the media, and there are not a few who are jealous.

The hot summer season in North America is gradually cooling down, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" has finally collapsed after the final madness. In the two weeks since the resumption of listing, only more than $4 million has been obtained, and although the North American box office has exceeded $420 million, the market potential has basically been exhausted. The heat has largely subsided, and the rate of growth has become unusually slow.

Overseas growth has also begun to draw, and the Far East has become the last box office feast for "Pirates of the Caribbean". Today, the global box office has combined to $1.055 billion. Later releases. The matrix has made little profit. As of now, the sales of goods in North America have reached $295 million, and the sales of goods in overseas markets have also made a significant breakthrough, moving towards the $200 million mark.

However, the peak season of the film has passed, and the follow-up peripheral sales will rely on time to accumulate slowly.

In the past two years, word of mouth has slowly fermented. Two years later, when a new episode comes back, it will be a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

Even so, the profit driven by the film's peripherals is not much less than the box office of the movie, with the sales commission that the matrix can receive, plus the sponsorship from advertisers, and the TV rights, DVD and video rights to be sold later.

This is also the power of Hollywood, why those movies dare to invest hundreds of millions, is because their source is not in the box office, if the surrounding big sales profits will even far exceed the box office several times or even dozens of times. Star Wars is the best proof of this. But the production company can't be sure which movie will sell well. The peripherals of "Titanic" will definitely not surpass "The Matrix".

These. I am afraid that this is the biggest reason why matrix stocks have been rising steadily.

Even Warner Bros. Chairman Bruce Rosenblum was envious of this, "It's been a big hit for two series of movies in a row, Chen, you're really jealous." For the grasp of the commercial elements of the film and the best-selling points of peripheral products, you are already the top group of people. ”

Chen Tiandu smiled, "It's just a fluke, and the peripherals of "Infernal Affairs" and "Fast and Furious" don't sell well. ”

"It's great to succeed once," Bloom exclaimed, "It's like having a long-term check in your hand and the bank will open up the coffers for you." I have to say, you've done a great job in the last month. ”

Chen Tiandu shrugged: "I don't feel so much, now the daily consumption is only to eat and sleep and refuel the car, and it is less than 1,000 US dollars a day." Too much money doesn't change much for me. ”

People thought that Chen Tiandu had this kind of thing and should settle down at home for a while. He still appeared on time with "fanfare" in the Detroit crew.

It's just that one after the other, the identities have been very different.

His wealth, surpassing that of the president of Warner Group, already has the strength to wrestle with giants.

The entire crew watched him appear, with an inexplicable look.

"This guy is one of the fifteen richest people in the world in seven years. A few months ago, he was just a star, the owner of a small production company. ”

People seem to want to see how he's different from ordinary people, superpowers or something. But he is very ordinary in all aspects, of oriental origin, his face is a bit mixed-race, and he is not tall only about 181. The long ones are not strong, and they are not as strong as the large pectoral muscles of Europeans and Americans. But he has this ability, and wherever he goes, his surroundings seem to be glowing, shining......

The producer is his old partner Charles Rowan, who walked up and hugged Chen Tiandu warmly, and asked with concern: "Chen, how are you doing, how is Kate's health?" I heard that you were blackmailed, and this is really a shame. ”

"I'm fine, thank you." Chen Tiandu said with a smile: "Kate is also very good, exercising, studying, and walking every day, which is very good." ”

Saying that, Christian Bale also came over to greet him, and when he said the same thing, Chen Tiandu had to answer again.

Almost after the end of the gathering, it was time to start work.

There is no large-scale start-up press conference, and it starts quietly, which also saves a lot of trouble. Warner does not worry about this little publicity, and at this juncture of fighting a tough battle, the quality of the film is the most important.

……

How can one person change the world?

This is the question that haunts young Bruce Wayne after witnessing his parents being shot and killed by gangsters on the streets of Gotham City, and this unfortunate tragedy also changed his life. He wants to carry on his parents' selfless dedication to society, but at the same time, he is tormented by guilt and anger, and he is bent on avenging his parents.

Utterly disillusioned with social justice, the young billionaire decides to leave Gotham City in search of the sharpest way to fight crime and strike fear into the hearts of the world's worst villains.

"It's a brand new series, so it's time to advertise. It's best not to start with 'batman5'. We need to reach unity in this regard. Chen Tiandu and Charles Rowan were discussing.

Warner meant the same thing. They gave several names for batman:thef ghtening and batmaninti fan dationgame. Do you have a better option? ”

Chen Tiandu was also relatively incompetent about naming names, scratched his head and asked, "Do we have to use the name of batman?" Charles looked at him in horror, Chen Tiandu was speechless at his expression, and said: "I just mean to change the name of the series, think about it, the whole world knows that this is Batman, do we really need to put Batman at the top again?" ”

Charles Rowan knows that Chen Tiandu's thinking is sometimes very imaginative, and his role. It is to neutralize Chen Tiandu's whimsical ideas and find a balance to solve the problem. Otherwise, there are so many talented people in Hollywood, and every big production will naturally make several big bosses think of him Charles Rowan.

"I have reservations, let's hear your name first?" He spread his hands and signaled that Chen Tian could freely express his speech.

Chen Tiandu rolled his eyes and said, "Let's call it thedarkknight, this is the tone of the whole series of movies, simple and clear." ”

Charles was slightly flustered, thinking that he would say some terrifying name. I didn't expect it to be like this, "The Dark Knight? Sounds good. "He's a little melancholy." I'll talk to them. What do you think of Christian Bale's size, I always think he's too thin, and maybe he would be a little more fit if he gained a little more weight. ”

Chen Tiandu shook his head decisively, "I'm not a beauty pageant champion, I don't need Arnold to appear in the movie." Christian has been training for half a year, gaining 20 pounds, and it's all muscle. That's exactly what I'm looking for. After all, he's still a billionaire, and if you look at my size, that's the best proof of that. ”

The corners of Charles's mouth twitched, "Well, I don't understand the world of billionaires." ”

Christian, who was still putting on makeup, felt that they were talking about himself, and waved his hand and shouted, "What are you talking about me?" ”

Chen Tiandu gave him a thumbs up and shouted, "Hurry up and prepare, I'll be waiting for you." ”

“ok。” Christian shouted back.

After a while, it was finally about to be officially turned on, and Chen Tiandu asked, "How do you feel, this is the first shot." ”

Christian Bale took a deep breath, but his face was very serious, and he said solemnly: "Chen, do you know? ”

"Know what?"

"Previously, although I was actively involved in auditions, I was actually slightly skeptical about playing Batman, after all, the name is already a cultural symbol. But just yesterday, I went into a supermarket to buy milk, and a little boy saw me, and he came and hugged me, looked up at me, and said, 'You are my hero'. At that time, he was firm in his choice. ”

He hammered himself hard in the chest, "I'm ready, ready to go." ”

The surroundings were quiet, Chen Tian didn't say anything, and patted him on the shoulder, "Ready to shoot." ”

“ready？”

“ok！”

“ation！”

……

"Batman" was successfully launched in Detroit. When the crew was first formed, Chen Tiandu was not in a hurry to catch up with the schedule, he was already very experienced in running in the crew, and knew that in the previous time period, everyone should be given more buffer time, so the first week was considered to be slow.

Rao is so, this movie is still a life-changing event for some people. The same is true with Christian, as is Gary Oldman, who plays Sheriff Jim Gordon. There are also many new young faces, who may have just graduated from college campuses, and the Batman crew is their first job.

In the entire crew, Chen Tiandu is their god, their spiritual guide and action commander, and his words and deeds affect the entire context of this crew of thousands of people.

The same is true for movies, starting from nothing, piling up the whole world one shot at a time.

This is the realm of God, and Chen Tiandu is becoming more and more accustomed to enjoying the pleasure of this creation.

Similarly, a change of fate occurred in a cramped warehouse in Silicon Valley. (To be continued......)
