Ace Hollywood

Chapter 89 Investment

(5,000 words, the collection has plummeted a lot today, I don’t know if it’s from readers or advertisements, it’s so strange, thank you Kira for donating again, and thank you to my new apprentice “Where am I” brother)

It's all arranged according to what you said, Danny. I've contacted people inside Walt Disney. The project you mentioned doesn't seem to have much movement.

After the conversation between Kusa and Jerry, he still fulfilled his duties as an agent, and used his own network to inquire within Walt Disney. The live-action movie project of the pirates that Daniel mentioned, but this project seems to be unrecognizable within Disney. Not particularly favored.

Disney's new attempt, do you think they will make a big splash? What if it fails? How will Esmer and Dick explain to the board of directors? Daniel looked calm and calm, The investment in this project is not particularly large, and of course it cannot be small. But for Disney's film division, which is very important, they are trying to move out of the animation field and into the more lucrative live-action film segment. The new project itself is extracted from the Disney amusement park, which is very clear. Hesitant, and very indecisive, so I chose such a safe path. But, you can see, who they hired to make this movie, Jerry Bruckheimer. And why did Jerry follow, he In his hands, Pearl Harbor in production, and Black Hawk Down later, are all big investment projects, why would he accept such a movie with an uncertain future.

Remuneration? Optimistic? Kusa mentioned two words.

Daniel reached out and nodded, That's right, it's just these two things. I don't know if a producer at Jerry's level has any share, but Disney must be very generous to make him tempted. Secondly, as far as I know, this movie , It’s really interesting, whether it’s a good script, plots, or some of their main special effects designs, they are all very attractive, this movie is a big opportunity, Kusa.”

Perhaps any person who has traveled through rebirth can't avoid becoming a magic stick, in other words, he can't avoid being looked at with Kusa's current eyes.

Convince me and give me some proof.

That's it, very guilty-feeling.

You can't tell him, I'm born again, and I know that Pirates of the Caribbean is going to be a hit, that it's going to make us famous.

Leaving aside whether Kusa would believe it, telling the biggest secret of his life to the public, or just telling another person, Daniel didn't even dare to think about it. He even felt that even if he was held in the head by a gangster, he would not speak out. This life is picked up, you don't have to, but if you really offend some unknowable existence, maybe death will become a luxury.

Daniel is still an atheist, but as far as rebirth is concerned, it is difficult for him to rule out the possibility that supernatural beings are involved.

So, for that matter, he must be a mute, a mute who will never speak.

Kusa's seeking eyes could only be ignored.

Daniel, when you played Legolas, you thought so too. Cusa had a headache, Can you tell me? Besides, Disney insiders don't know this project that well. You know the script, plot, I even have an understanding of the special effects design, which surprised me a little, well, not a little, I was very surprised, are you Esmail's... illegitimate child?

Daniel was a little convinced by Cusa's imagination.

In that case, I must say I didn't have to sign you in the first place.

Did you just find out?

Daniel helped his forehead,

Cousa, no kidding, I don't know Esmail, he won't know me, and as for my father, he's in that state of life right now - not yet born, growing up, dead, I'm totally Not sure.

Kusa spread his hands, but his eyes still looked at Daniel, Okay, so you still don't plan to tell me your channel? Of course, this is completely fine, I understand, but you have to confirm that this channel is credible, And it has a high enough professional reference value. If he misreads the project, Daniel, any opportunity is very important to you now. Whether you can stabilize your position and join the highest group is very critical now, very very critical .”

Daniel suddenly wanted to laugh, he looked at Kusa's serious expression, Melissa never told me that, you are really different. Don't worry, Kusa, my source is very credible , whether it’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy or this Disney one, you’ll see the results.”

Okay. Kusa grinned and made a grimace, How can that little girl Meili compare to me?

Is it?

Kusa's expression froze on his face, and he turned his neck with difficulty, while Melissa looked at him with a gentle smile.

Ahem, just kidding.

Melissa glanced at him and didn't do anything more. Kusa secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the wall clock.

It's two o'clock in the afternoon.

It's meeting time, and damn it, the discussions are so self-absorbed.

After a while, Andy and Fred also came in.

You have to find a reliable lawyer. Fred was a little detached from the team, so he spoke more relaxedly. Although the lawyer is a vampire, he can also give a lot of professional advice.

Where they are now is not Daniel's house, but Kusa's house.

It can be seen that there will be some shady things in this conversation.

Kousa also understands, so we have to talk about things other than the movie. Daniel sat in the host's seat. Regarding Fred's affairs, Melissa and Andy, and even Kusa, understood Neither are particularly in-depth.

Although it is not necessary, I still want to introduce you, Daniel gestured to Fred, Fred, the person in charge of Shanying Company.

Several people here, including Kusa Damon who just returned, didn't have much expression.

But if people outside here heard this sentence, they would probably jump up in surprise.

Mountain Eagle, an industry data company that has gained fame in Hollywood, was actually formed by Daniel's network team.

How to install the Fred team is something Daniel has been thinking about. This team is becoming more and more important now. They have mastered many so-called professional website ID resources, which can influence the direction of Internet entertainment to a certain extent. They also involve some Gray areas, such as hacking technology, the collection of private information - when the situation is right, it will be beneficial to fight with others. All in all, the team that Daniel built up piecemeal with one idea here and another, now has the problem of expanding too much, which brings about an important problem.

Can't feed.

The team was so large that the expenses were too great for Daniel to use as a regular tool—like an assistant or an accountant—to function without compromising the budget.

And, as teams gain more and more power on the Internet, it becomes difficult to keep them in the shadows. They are not a group of fanatical hackers who like to do whatever they want where people can't see them. They are just a group of network workers with special hobbies. They need more normal channels to vent their sense of accomplishment.

Fred has such talent to manage such a team, which is very rare, but there are limits to what talent can do, so Daniel has to think about these things.

Establishing a company, and then using some prophetic theories, methods, and even predictions, can enhance Daniel's influence on the team and at the same time make some profits.

Analyzing the box office anomalies of Gladiator is Shanying's latest masterpiece, which not only boosted their popularity, but also served as a good advertisement for Daniel.

Kusa learned that Daniel was directly directing Shanying's operation, and he had to express his gratitude to him. The trick of this move is really amazing.

Doing online marketing on the Internet is what Fred's team has been doing all the time. A small part of Universal Pictures' publicity budget belongs to the Internet, and in the end, a large part of it actually flows into the pockets of Shanying Company. With this kind of marketing The box office of Gladiator had an abnormal jump on the first day, and this abnormality gave birth to another business of Shanying - market analysis. After Universal Pictures did some work on Shanying, they contacted They, of course, provided part of the compensation, hoping to eventually influence some conclusions, and the sale of the analysis report also reaped monetary returns. In addition, after Shanying became famous in Hollywood, it means that many jobs will come to him in the later stage.

It is not unreasonable for Fred to be proud recently. Several of the top seven Hollywood companies have contacted him.

Large studios and even some authoritative media will gradually have their own analysis power, but Shanying’s data collection methods and analysis theories are unique, and they have initially established their own credibility. In this regard, they are very similar to It is the general election that is the kind of private survey company, support rate and so on, but Shanying does it more detailed.

You know, Daniel told him all the bits and pieces of the new technology he knew.

What big data, what viral marketing, what fan economy, etc., even if it is a superficial idea, but the idea is very important, Fred's talent is here, get some clear concepts and definitions from Daniel, and then describe the method and result Well, Fred can often determine one, two, three, four by himself, so it can only be said that Daniel is very lucky to pick up a treasure.

Some of these things are known to everyone in the team, while others are only known to Daniel and Fred. Today's meeting is not mainly for the operation of Shanying Company.

Shanying Company is very important to me. The Internet will become more and more influential. Although part of the phenomenon of Gladiator is deliberately created by us, the trend it represents is conceivable. The attraction of this tool is very strong. It will soon be discovered by everyone. We have taken a step ahead, but it does not mean that we will always be ahead. Therefore, Shanying was established. On the one hand, it is indeed because of revenue and expenditure. lead.

As for another matter, Evan Williams, the founder of Pray Company, said bloggers, you may be more intuitive. This company is very prosperous now, but it is on the verge of bankruptcy. Daniel said here, seize the opportunity to give The left and right arms of the company spread the spirit of the Internet, This kind of social platform is like this. Although it has a very good momentum, in fact, the better the momentum, the faster it will perish. Why? Because it can't find its own profit method, the more users, The bigger the payout, the more likely it will be unsustainable.

Evan was sensitive to the impact of my fans meeting online and saw this as an opportunity to save bloggers from the clutches of Google. He contacted Fred to discuss the issue, and Fred sent me an I made a suggestion that we can get involved in Blogger, which is a very valuable platform, and even purely from a commercial point of view, it is also a very promising project.”

How do you tell? Kusa talked about this, a little lazy, Didn't Evan say that he couldn't hold on anymore? How do you know it's a promising project?

Fred glanced at Daniel's, got a hint and began to answer this point, I discussed with Danny, and Danny came up with some creative ideas, which I think are very feasible, you may not know, the Internet world What is happening, the number of netizens is increasing rapidly, their willingness to express and participate is very strong, how to use this to seek benefits is simply the obligation of our generation of Internet people.”

Speaking of this, Fred leaked a little fanatical gesture.

Melissa and Andy stared to show that they were listening, while Kusa lazily recorded something in his notes.

I believe that these operational ideas and part of the funds will definitely impress Evan, which provides us with a wonderful opportunity to intervene in this thriving platform.

Daniel took over the conversation, Mark and I, oh, my friend, work at Google. We discussed that Google is very optimistic about the blog platform, but they currently have no way to make the blog itself realize the hematopoietic function. This is what Evan What Williams is most hesitant about is that Google will use their own money to support the blog until they find a way for him to survive on his own. I am in trouble, so the blog will only have to be abandoned. Evan hopes to be able to achieve self-sustainment now, even if he can't make money.

It sounds like this belongs to your investment behavior. Kusa looked at Daniel disapprovingly. I don't think we should come to a meeting to discuss this. You need to find an investment manager.

Daniel certainly thought about this.

The specific investment behavior, of course someone else will do it. Daniel looked at Kusa, but you need to understand this, understand the Internet, so there is no harm in participating. Kusa, don't act like I put more workload on you Do you have a good expression? I won't give you a raise.

You really know me.

Come on, you have to know that I remember your revenge.

Daniel gave him a blank stare, If we really set foot in this business, then we must take these factors into consideration when considering my affairs.

So, you've decided to take part, haven't you? Kusa held a pen to his chin, You're really a young man full of energy, but do you have enough money? I know you've earned money recently. By the way, you’ve had a lot of business activities recently, it’s time to get one or two endorsements, but don’t overexpose, the audience will be fatigued.”

After Gladiator, my film will not be released until next summer at the earliest. What aesthetic fatigue, how many people do you think can see my business activities? As for the newspaper, when did I leave it?

Cusa was speechless.

But you're right, it's true that I can't invest all my money in the blog, so David will also participate and we will invest together.

Oh, I forgot, you also have a brother who just made a fortune - more than 30 million, which is indeed enough for you to be willful.

It doesn't need that many, and I don't plan to buy them all for him.

The meeting was a bit anticlimactic, and except for Fred who became more bloody, the other three didn't quite buy it.

Daniel felt that he should really find an investment manager. Cusa was his broker, not his partner—oh, maybe, he could be his partner.

This has to be considered in the long run.

Shanying's investment in the blog platform is very convincing. They attach great importance to Internet data, so it is only natural that they will pay attention to highly active blogs. So Fred and his financial staff will approach Evan, and they have to do all the specific negotiations. As for Daniel, he has been touched by the blog and has been in close communication with Mark recently.

The current Mark still blesses the character of programmers, but after Google got into trouble, he also feels like he has opened his eyes to see the world.

Regarding the idea proposed by Daniel, he is brewing. The idea does not mean that it can be implemented immediately, and it is not fifteen years from now. The Internet is changing rapidly. If you don’t do an idea, someone else may do it next time. It is not so severe now, and practitioners do not have this awareness.

Even if Mark makes a decision, he still needs to evaluate it in terms of technology, investment, market, etc. When the results come out, it will probably be next year.

...

Fred was full of energy to fight, and Daniel talked to Kusa about his real work.

How to win Pirates of the Caribbean?

In the past, there was no way to fight and snatch. When people get through the relationship, you have no way to get it. But it’s different now, from the producer Walt Disney, from the director—the director should not be determined yet, from the producer, that is, Jerry Bruckheimer and others, and get this opportunity from the very beginning .

Letting others play tricks sometimes represents one's own status.
