With regard to the specific plan of this script, if we have definite news, DD Films will announce it to everyone in time - before that, we actually have a lot of other new projects to follow up, so it's hard to tell us right now. What was decided. www.geiliwx.com”

Daniel still did not give a positive answer in the end, but this cannot prevent the media from making their own speculation: If you don't say it, then it means that our guess is correct.

The media has its own logic to follow.

So, there is no totally certain source? Not a problem either!

...

Reports like this, with rumored, question marks, quotation marks and possibility words, you say they are baseless, but they are really just guesses - this kind of report has weakened in terms of spread, but it is important for the media. Self-protection is definitely very useful.

There was nothing Daniel could do about it.

The Hangover began to drop 10 million on Monday of the following week, and earned a total of 27 million on the first working day with 7.6 million, 6.5 million, 6.6 million and 6 million, accumulating the box office to 72 million, and then ushered in its second triumphantly. weekend.

The number of screens increased to 3,355. Obviously, Columbia's Black and White Matching was officially placed in the second-tier theater here, and The Hangover won more screen resources with its excellent performance.

It also lived up to the expectations of the industry and the love of fans. It returned to 10 million on the next Friday, and reached more than 12 million on the next Saturday. By the end of the second weekend, it had been released in North America for 9 days, and its cumulative box office officially exceeded 100 million.

The crew held a celebration banquet in Los Angeles, officially announcing that The Hangover will produce a sequel, and the team will continue the first one.

Daniel knew that the box office of The Hangover 2 would surpass that of the first one. But word of mouth is terrible. Although the background of the movie in Bangkok, Thailand is very mysterious to Americans, the story is a bit mediocre, so it is far from the popularity of The Hangover 1. And to the third part. The reputation is even worse.

Although the box office is not low, but compared to the increasing remuneration of leading actors and production costs, there is no profit-so Daniel is very concerned about the script after negotiating the contracts of several actors. He has a lot of comedy jokes and gags in his head, and while he's no better suited than a professional screenwriter to revamp a script, he can provide a steady stream of material to revamp a second installment that has shattered the franchise's reputation. He is actually not worried that doing so will affect the box office of The Hangover 2, because first, most of the story will not change. Another point, and the most important reason, is that most of the success of The Hangover 2 has benefited from the box office expectations accumulated by The Hangover 1 - the poor box office of The Hangover 3 is mostly due to the fact that The Hangover The Hangover 2 garnered negative reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, sapping that box-office expectation.

Bradley's salary increased dramatically from 600,000 to 5 million-his agent also wanted to help him negotiate a share. But Daniel directly asked the person in charge of the negotiation to reject the other party.

It does look like The Hangover is going to be a smash at the box office -- but how much of it is Bradley Cooper? This is of course an unclear question, but what is certain is that Fast Fury cannot do without Paul Walker, Pirates of the Caribbean cannot do without Daniel, and The Hangover cannot do without Bradley, or even another A trio is not impossible. The reason for the success of The Hangover lies in the story, not the performance or character creation, but in the movie. The characters and the story are far from being inseparable.

So if you want to get a share, I'm sorry, but you won't get a share in the second part.

Although the conditions were not met, apparently. Neither Bradley himself nor his agent will have any disagreement with DD Films because of this. This is the rule of profit-seeking more and higher. The mission of every broker is to sell their clients at a good price.

No one will feel uneasy or other extra emotions because of this.

In Daniel's opinion, this is indeed a good rule. At least everyone can talk with each other on the negotiating table, but after the table, they will work together to make the movie well.

April 8, 2005, was originally a very ordinary day. On a working day, the US military had been in Iraq for more than three months without a soldier dying.

But the entertainment page, the financial page, the social page—almost all the pages of newspapers are reserved under the MGM building.

At 10 a.m., MGM will announce the final results here.

Until the last moment, there were not enough sources to understand and confirm the board's decision-they got all kinds of information.

But talk of DD Films winning in the end has grown.

Because Plutos, the parent company of DD Films, has reached a cooperation with Wells Fargo, Plutos will get a huge amount of loans from Wells Fargo—this number is not clear, but it is reported that it will reach 2 billion. If it was not for the acquisition of MGM financing, the outside world would not be able to believe why a prudent Plutos investment company would have such a large-scale financial operation.

However, the consortium headed by Sony has long indicated that it has prepared an appropriate combination of funds to meet the reasonable needs of MGM.

MGM's statement was simple:

In principle, we accept bidders headed by the film production and distribution company DD Films, at $12 per share in cash and assuming debt.

The statement disclosed the composition of Daniel's bidding team, and also listed in detail that MGM had 235 million outstanding shares, and the foreign debt was estimated by an accountant to be about 2 billion. Adding the two together, the total transaction value was about 4.8 billion US dollars.

Although the debt does not need to be cleared immediately, DD Films also needs to provide at least 3 billion in cash, which can explain why Plutos made a huge loan before.

Before this transaction takes effect, it needs to be approved by the competent authorities of various countries and regions including the US market supervision department and the European Union. However, DD Pictures’ acquisition of MGM has no suspicion of monopoly, nor will it endanger national security and industrial security, so the possibility of encountering obstacles is extremely low. If the whole process is smooth enough, it will be completed before Daniel starts his sophomore year Finish.

In other words, so far, DD Films' acquisition of MGM has been settled.

The consortium headed by Sony, the bidding group headed by DD Films, major media, Hollywood counterparts... almost everyone has a feeling that it is not real. This feeling even surpassed GM's acquisition of 20% of Vivendi's global shares, and the merger of Time Warner and AOL, and the subsequent loss of 120 billion in the stock market crash-the largest market value shrinkage in economic history.

It's like... watching a mouse eat a bony - elephant. (To be continued.)
