Chapter 276 Box Office Explosions

Roger Eckert is not much calmer than Mark Zuckerberg when it comes to the meeting with Daniel. In the huge Boston consortium, Roger Ebert is not a small person, especially when the consortium suffers blows in the military and industrial fields Afterwards, the John Eckert Fund, which is in charge of the entertainment industry and new technology fields, has more say in the consortium. Its direct performance is that it is responsible for management, that is, the funds that can be used exceed 7 billion U.S. dollars, which is very important for the current For the Boston consortium, it is not a small amount, not to mention, this is far from their traditional field.

Even so, Roger was not as calm as usual before preparing to meet Daniel.

Generally speaking, as the helm of such a huge sum of money, he seldom puts himself in such a situation. He usually has the wisdom in his hands and is high above the ground. He never has to guess what others think, and only needs to express his own will. ——This is the characteristic of an old-fashioned consortium, especially a slightly declining old-fashioned consortium.

However, this time the guests were completely different.

He was a young triple Oscar winner, a young billionaire, a well-connected upper class.

Roger's apartment was built in the 1940s. It is simple and stately, and has obviously been well maintained to maintain a strong historical atmosphere.

No matter how much mental preparation he had made, when he saw such a young Daniel wearing a suit and walking out of the car door opened by the security personnel, he was still slightly shaken.

Younger and handsomer than expected.

Mr. Eckert. It is an honor to meet you.

Old Roger, who was standing at the door to greet him, paused, but Daniel spoke first.

He sighed secretly in his heart, and the smile on his face became even warmer.

In Roger's apartment. The two talked for more than three hours without a third person. Of course, Daniel can decide many things, but Roger is not necessarily. After all, the funds he controls are not his own, but come from many shareholders. Still, it was clear that he seemed confident in himself. This is also good news for Daniel.

The meeting between the two today will not determine anything. It's just a start. If the two parties are interested, there will definitely be intensive confidential negotiations next.

When Daniel was sent out, he had a relaxed face. It seems that the negotiation is quite satisfactory.

This time, Javier from mb did not come, of course to avoid being noticed. Although Daniel is a public figure, he is still a newcomer in the business field.

...

Yes,

We've talked about it.

Javier has called several times, but the mobile phone is in Miller's hands.

Javier seemed hesitant to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, just asked the other party's attitude. Of course, Javier is in charge of the negotiations on the specific affairs, so it is natural to tell him these things.

Daniel also knows about looking for Eckert funds. Javier disagrees.

There are too many funds interested in mb, how to make full use of the network of relationships behind these funds - not just a network of interpersonal relationships, under the consortium economy, many companies have close financial and ownership relationships, which can be triggered by one hair Move the whole body, if mb can choose well. It can fully pave the way for many actions in the future.

It's just that Daniel has his own considerations. For him, mb is very important, but not the most important. It is where the interests lie, but it is not the biggest interest. What's more, he is not a pure business or investor. He is a Hollywood star after all. His goal The location is of course different from the helm of mb.

Daniel also considered the relationship with Javier. In the initial stage of mb, it can be said that Daniel and Javier cooperated seamlessly. Together, they pushed this novel matter to the public in a short period of time. Influential public events make mb deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At that time, a lot of his energy was spent on mb, Javier was in charge of execution, he came up with plans and goals, worked closely with each other, and of course it was a good time.

With the proposal of the f2f project, he and Javier, firstly because of Google's intervention, and secondly because of the influence of mb itself, the two sides have different considerations, and their interests are not completely consistent. Many times, conflicts arise.

However, Daniel did not intend to consider Javier's attitude.

With the development of mb today, the negative impact that a professional manager can produce is already very limited. As the holder of 70% of mb shares, he can of course decide how to deal with this company. Even if it is Google, if they want to get involved, they have to look his means. As long as it is done properly, Google can only keep silent except to withdraw from mb.

...

Daniel Sandler returns to Los Angeles!

Unsurprisingly, his whereabouts were widely reported. He came out of Los Angeles International Airport without any disguise, and of course he was quickly photographed by the paparazzi.

For a moment, the comments looking forward to his voice dispelled those doubts a little.

It's enough to buy a little time.

Daniel blew on the tea leaves that floated in the teacup. Since Disney took action, he had the habit of drinking green tea, and Kusa, who was sitting opposite him, was also more used to it, but no one would specifically mention such a trivial matter.

...How do you think about mb?

Kusa asked with some hesitation. These matters should not have much to do with him. Although speaking, he can also intervene in these matters, but generally speaking, this is the scope of Raymond. mb is a little more special, and Daniel is a little more direct when dealing with it. But since the rapid development of f2f, Daniel's action on mb is a bit puzzling.

This time Daniel went to Boston to discuss with the Eckert Fund. In addition, several Wall Street companies, Daniel seemed to be in contact through Raymond.

Daniel hadn't talked it through with him, but Cusa had a little idea of ​​all this.

Javier found you? Daniel smiled, obviously his recent repeated actions towards mb. It made Javier a little worried, but he couldn't do anything, so it was expected to know a thing or two from Kusa. You guessed it right. I plan to promote mb after Google. I will start preparations before the end of April. I hope it will be completed before the end of this year.

Google was put together by Wall Street, resulting in poor financing. The issue price has been suppressed by 20%, which is bad news for Google itself. but. It is a great benefit to technology stocks that have been caught in a stock market crash. The Google stock, which was issued at US$85, rose rapidly after listing. If Internet technology companies intend to list in the later period, of course they can take advantage of it.

It's just an action in itself. The meaning of this surprised Cusa a little.

you want--

It doesn't make sense to hold mb in your hands. Daniel squinted his eyes, mb's influence is getting bigger and bigger, and our pressure will also be increasing. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is only natural to sell it for a good price. There are no longer a few wolves staring at this piece of meat. Although mb was founded by me, it is no longer the time to be a family business. If we want to continue to develop, we must introduce capital from all parties. We can It’s enough to have influence.”

Kusa didn't know that Daniel planned to basically withdraw from MB. Leaving an influence means that you can have a position on the board of directors, as long as you have a few points of shares. This goal will be achieved.

Then more than half of the shares saved can be sold for billions of dollars later.

What does Daniel need so much money for?

...

Since Ghost Omens was released in North America, the total box office has just exceeded 60 million, which is basically in place, and there is no potential.

Of course, this is not a loss, but it is compared to the previous handwriting of DD Films. Whether it is Greek Wedding, Hotel Rwanda, or the plausible Pirates of the Caribbean. Of course, the performance of Ghost Omen is still disappointing, or a sigh of relief. No one hopes that dd Pictures, like its boss, will have an undefeated record.

However, with the release of Ghost Omens in Europe, the situation has changed greatly. In France, the box office has exceeded 10 million, Germany is also close to 10 million, and the United Kingdom is 15 million. Spain, Japan, etc. have also gained a lot. The situation of flowers blooming inside and fragrant outside the wall made many people fall through their glasses.

Those who were slightly gloating were also slapped hard.

The global gross of 158 million US dollars is of course a satisfactory box office result. With this film, dd Pictures expects to earn no less than 30 million, and there is also a large amount of income from dvd videotapes of horror movies.

In this way, the finances of DD Films this year must have become better.

...

In April, when Daniel told Javier and Larry Page the idea of ​​promoting mb.

Steve Martin's comedy So Much Love Is Falling Down was also released.

Compared with Ghost Omen, DD Films releases this type of film, which makes people more confident. Moreover, House Collapsed has a good effect in the early publicity. Of course, these factors are also reflected in the theaters. Arrangement.

2802 screens.

It closed at 11.92 million on Friday on the first day, and a total of 35.43 million in the three days of the weekend, ranking first in the weekly box office-this result is not bad, and of course it cannot be said to be particularly good, but there are no strong competitors in the same period. The number of screens has continued to increase, with an increase of 70 yuan in the second week, and another 120 yuan in the third week, and the highest peak can reach the edge of 3,000 screens.

The theaters immediately felt proud of their decision, the word-of-mouth of the film continued to ferment, and the box office trajectory was quite good.

At the end of the second week, it was 32.01 million, only a slight drop.

There were also 26 million at the end of the third week, a slightly larger drop than before, but in terms of horizontal comparison, it is already a surprising number.

By the end of the third week, House Collapsed has always occupied the top spot in the weekly box office rankings.

The cumulative box office is 128.22 million.

This number is enough to remind people of the grand occasion of Greek Wedding. According to the film's box office trajectory, it is conceivable that it will climb to 200 million in the later period.

House Collapsed has of course become a new focus of media attention, which is of course beneficial to Daniel - although generally speaking, the impact of being the best actor for consecutive years is negative, and Robert and others are promoting it. It wasn't easy for him to respond, but under his repeated interruptions, there was no one-sided public opinion.

For Daniel, that was enough.

Washington Post is Daniel's vanguard, and now many people are staring at it, and Daniel simply regards it as a window to convey his meaning.

Daniel returned to Los Angeles before, obviously to supervise the Love to the House Collapse... (To be continued)
