When the people willingly carry a person to the altar, they have to accept what that person has sprinkled from the altar, whether it is a glorious miracle or a foul-smelling feces and urine and filth, so that Warren Buffett's lunch time can be coaxed to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and George Soros's bandit theory is worshipped as a god.

Sun Tzu Mingchuang's miracles are greater than the achievements of Buffett and Soros combined, so his reasons that do not stand much scrutiny persuaded Jill, a shrewd and capable strong woman, to approve the application for "Pirates of Malacca" immediately after returning to Los Angeles. It's just that at everyone's request, Sun Ziming changed the title of the film to "Pirates of the South Seas", so that in case a piece of success is successful, the company can expand the story to the whole of Southeast Asia and make the movie into a series.

After Douglas got the approval letter from the general manager's office, he immediately took the script of "Pirates of the South Seas" and went to the theater to negotiate the pre-sale money. This is Sun Ziming's second film according to the regular procedure, the theater side reviewed the script, according to a series of complex calculation procedures, and then referred to Sun Ziming's previous box office results, and issued an astronomical check for 100 million US dollars; Then he took the letter from the theater company, went to the insurance company for a loan, and got a check for 60 million US dollars.

The theater company gave a pre-sale of 100 million US dollars, which means that the theater company believes that the box office of "Pirates of the South Seas" is more than 300 million US dollars, and after the release of the film in the future, they will first deduct their 100 million US dollars and interest. In the same way, the insurance company also recognized the judgment of the theater company, and after the movie is released, they will also deduct the 60 million yuan and interest first, and the rest will be the profit of the light and shadow company.

Hehe, with an investment of 50 million US dollars and a pre-sale of 160 million, "Pirates of the South Seas" began to make profits while still staying in the script, this is Sun Ziming's treatment! This treatment is not even a big director like Spielberg and Lucas, and it also set a record for the highest pre-sale of a Hollywood movie.

The American people love all kinds of records because their country's history is so short, so as soon as the news was reported by ESPN, it immediately became the front page of the entertainment section and became the talk of the movie. However, there is no doubt that this pirate-themed film will grossing $300 million at the box office, and even the ESPN host, who likes to embarrass his boss to win ratings, has 'righteous indignation' denounced that the theater chain is deliberate.

"Yes, they're a bunch of greedy guys!

Let's say the movie grosses $200 million, and no one argues with that number, right? ”

There was really no objection, and even the guests who were arranged to be provocative were booed by the audience as soon as they talked about the box office of "Raid". It's an NC-17 (under 17 years old) movie, how can it be used as an example? What's more, that film also set a box office record for an NC-17 movie, and it seems that no one can break it in ten years.

"Ok, the audience's eyes are bright, we think that 200 million US dollars is the box office of "Pirates of the South Seas", and the producer, that is, the light and shadow company, can get a box office share of about 15 million US dollars, so does the theater take the risk? No, no, no, not only are they not risky, but they are also making millions in interest. In the same way, the insurance company's 60 million loan also earned millions of dollars in interest. Audience friends, the average annual interest rate in the current financial market is only 3%, while that of theaters and insurance companies is 5%!

Ok, everyone will say that this is a Hollywood studio's way of reducing risk, but does China have a record of box office failures? The great China Ming helped Warner draw a storyboard script, and they earned 20 million US dollars, plus a profit share. Since he is not short of money, why does the theater chain still force US dollars into his pocket, isn't it just to earn his interest? ”

This show looks a little hype, right?

That's right, this is hype, and ESPN not only took money from Light and Shadow, but also from Warner, because Warner wanted to use the fact that his grandson would pre-sell it at tomorrow's price to promote "Spider-Man" to be released next year.

"Yes, the remuneration we gave China Ming was indeed $20 million + 5% profit share at the beginning.

What the? Is it worth it?

Boy, you're so cute, and he refused on this condition. In the end, we gave him a treatment of $250 million, which is less than that, and he won't take a penny. For every $10 million above that, his profit score increases by one percentage point.

Do you understand? If "Spider-Man" can win $300 million at the North American box office, his treatment is 20 million salary + 10% profit sharing! ”

…………

After several rounds of hype, Sun Ziming's new film "The Hangover" doesn't seem to need any publicity. When everyone was discussing the gossip news about him, they also learned that the genius director China Ming returned to the comedy route, and also brought the NBA's big living treasure to shoot a treasure drama "The Hangover".

Of course, if you just speculate on this, the stock price of Light and Shadow cannot rise very high, and the real blockbuster comes from Pixar Studios. Jobs, who returned to Apple at a time of crisis, suddenly announced that he would sell his Pixar studio, the Pixar studio that filmed "Toy Story 1 and 2", to Light and Shadow Films for $3.76 billion. (In 2006, Pixar was acquired by Disney for $7.4 billion and became part of The Walt Disney Company.) ）

That's Pixar Studios! That's Pixar, which filmed "Toy Story 1 & 2" and "Bug Crisis", and Pixar, which owns the copyright of RenderMan software, can make hundreds of millions of dollars a year just by making zuò logos and animated advertisements for enterprises every year! It can be said that Pixar Studio has been creating a miracle in the field of animation since the acquisition of Steve Jobs' monster, and is known as Disney's most powerful challenger!

IN ORDER TO COOPERATE WITH SUN ZIMING'S PUBLICITY, JOBS, WHO HAD JUST USED AN IPOD TO BRING APPLE OUT OF THE QUAGMIRE AND ACHIEVE A PROFIT OF $360 MILLION IN THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2001, WAS ALSO IN THE GARDEN OF APPLE'S HEADQUARTERS, TALKING TO REPORTERS.

"I am good friends with China Ming, he is also the largest individual shareholder of our company, and our company's iPod and current iTunes music store come from his idea.

Well? Yes, it was true that the Disney Company was bidding more than Light and Shadow, but I knew a lot of his ideas about the movie that I was willing to sell Pixar Studios to him. My buddies and I hope that Pixar can be made better, not sold for more money. ”

God, the light and shadow company is not only producing movies and TV series, they are also entering the field of animation!

This bombshell blew up the entire Hollywood and made the stock price of Light and Shadow rise like a rocket, with a market value of nearly $30 billion.

Robert They all looked at the stock price of Light and Shadow Company and were dizzy, God, what should they do to buy the stock in China Ming's hand?

Those series of movies alone can be deduced that in the next ten years, the light and shadow company can earn more than 10 billion yuan in global box office shares, and there are several times the follow-up peripheral income. Now with the addition of a powerful Pixar studio, the market value of $30 billion is simply underestimated! As long as "The Hangover" and next year's "Pirates of the South Seas" prove their box office worth, the price will go up!

It's just that those shareholders may not be sure that China's superhuman creativity can be maintained for a few years, but their major shareholders are very sure that the light and shadow company is a huge money printing machine! Because boss's studio has begun to let special effects companies prepare for the ...... of "Transformers" and "Iron Man".
