Reborn American Tycoon
Page 61
The result was very sad indeed.
The box office is less than 300 million, which directly kills a company.
In this era, the final editing rights are in the hands of big directors, especially for art films, and these big directors do not allow others to interfere.
This director is indeed very talented, but it is a pity that the audience can't appreciate their way of expression, and really don't understand what the director is filming.
"Lucas, what the hell is this guy doing, the box office is already very good, why waste money?"
"Spielberg, I think we underestimated his ambition. Making money doesn't seem to be his ultimate goal."
"That's the only way to explain it. How is the market in other places?"
"Sweeping everything, there is no single enemy, London is slightly higher than us, and there is really no opponent in other places."
"Lucas, you can be bolder next time. It's good to be in sync with London this time. It's best to be like this in the future."
"Well, I will seriously consider your suggestion. In fact, I have some regrets. Raiders of the Lost Ark should cooperate with William White. Those bastards only pay attention to immediate interests."
In fact, this product is also nonsense. Even if William White invests, he will never advertise desperately. Your follow-up version has nothing to do with me. The peripheral products are all your benefits. I have no hatred with Meidao. How can I marry you? Clothes.
A valuation of US$[-] million.
This is the valuation given by Morgan Stanley. If an overall acquisition is required, there are many uncertainties.
This is the value of White Films.
"I have so much money?" William White just smiled at the news.
Clearly, someone has no plans for an IPO.
People don't care whether he will raise money or not. What the American people care about is this myth of wealth. This is not the deed of the rich second generation.
Plus his software company, game console company, and comic book company that has just emerged.
After careful calculation, William White's personal wealth is close to 20 billion US dollars.
The 20 billion in this era is a very scary number. No one can reach this height among the rich people that the public can understand.
The Hunter family could have done it, but they screwed up. The amount of the loan has already exceeded the family assets. William White has no loans, which is completely different.
Not to mention that the people of the US imperialists are surrounded, even the big consortiums are dumbfounded.Because they knew very well that William White had just made a fortune in gold futures, at least $[-] million in profit.
The consortium is also very entangled with such a rapidly rising evildoer.
Suppress?
Embezzle?
Don't be surprised, this is the normal behavior of the consortium. They have been doing it for hundreds of years, and of course they plan to continue.
The problem is that the industry is wrong. They sold their only traditional industry, and now they are tossing in the entertainment industry. Can you create another one?
Official pressure is temporarily impossible. They are the patrons of elephants, and they don't hesitate to spend a lot of money.Who dares to mess around in this sensitive period, whose face is this going to hit?
The sudden change made the top ten consortiums very uncomfortable. They had just brought down a Dezhou family, so how could a more difficult one appear.
William White's reckless behavior is not news in the upper circles. If you want to annoy him, it will definitely be a big trouble.
The consortium may not be afraid, but the family cannot bear his concern.
Maybe you can recruit?
There is a balance among the consortia, and they are also fighting for their own interests. This guy is just like this without the support of the consortium. If he belongs to the consortium, everyone's balance will definitely be broken.
Among these guys, the one who is familiar with William White is undoubtedly the Texas Consortium.
Of course, the Dezhou Consortium will not express its opinion on the questions of the old guys. In fact, he knows very well in his heart that you stupid 13s can go tossing around.
The chat of the old guys ended here, and there was really no result. In fact, everyone was afraid. No one succeeded by luck. This is simply unrealistic.
William White was very aware of his situation, and in one word he had to speed up his layout so that the group of unresponsive old guys had no time to stop it.
Faced with the rapid growth of the box office, White Films is in a state of excitement. Their boss is not stingy, as long as you put in enough effort, you will be rewarded accordingly.
Eddie Murphy finally breathed a sigh of relief. He made the right bet this time and didn't choose those unreliable scripts.
"Eddie, as a friend, I suggest that you improve yourself. If you don't make a breakthrough, your performance will last ten years at most, and it won't be so easy in the future."
Eddie Murphy would definitely not take it seriously if another person said that. William White said it was different. Although ten years is quite good, everyone hopes that their artistic life will be longer.
"Okay, boss, I'll go to the acting academy for further study."
"I'm not talking about you. Rowan Atkinson's foundation is very good. It may not be good in the short term, but it will definitely surpass you in the long run. Look at our current crew, even the supporting roles are very good."
"Yes, boss, although John Bulls are very annoying, they do have acting talent."
"Well, it's good to know, you have enough time, anyway, you are not short of money now, take your time."
Chapter 133 The Footsteps of Expansion
Eddie Murphy has made good movies for ten years, and then he kept killing his popularity. Fortunately, this guy doesn't do much to kill himself, and he's doing pretty well.
"Boss, RCA doesn't appear to be selling NBC."
"Tsk, what did Damo say?"
"They are still in active contact, hoping that the stubborn old man can give in."
"Well, Filson, just keep an eye on this matter, and let's not be too eager, it's not a deal that comes to your door."
Morgan Stanley did not expect that they would welcome an olive branch. For the companies under William White, their valuation has been criticized by others. Now it seems that they really don't care much.
American Radio Corporation.
This company is also considered a wonderful thing. Now is the golden age of TV development, but the NBC in their hands is not developing very well and has not kept up with the pace of the times.
What they hope to introduce is a strategic partner, and the overall acquisition is not what they hope.
factory?
William White is most afraid of this thing. You can only engage in industries with a very high degree of automation in the United States, and those that require a large number of workers cannot take over at all. It will definitely be a disaster.
Since it is not so easy to obtain, it is natural to cast the net everywhere, and if it is not possible, buy the TV station.
There is no single dominant TV station here in Laomei, which is collectively referred to as a TV network, and there are dozens of TV stations under a huge TV network.
As long as you have enough dollars, you can buy them one by one. Although it will be very troublesome, as long as you have enough patience, there is no big problem.
A group of old guys from CCA finally reached a consensus, and the grading of the old American version of the manga finally came to a conclusion.
Ordinary people in the United States can finally buy this comic.
At the same time, sales in the Chinese region are also growing rapidly.
The sales volume of 600 million copies per week has basically disappeared in two days. Due to the high praise, it is estimated that the sales volume will increase again.
This is just a weekly manga magazine. Laomei really prefers the booklets. It is foreseeable that the sales of the booklets will be very impressive.
Although the sales volume is considered good, it is still within expectations. What makes Marvel puzzled is, why can Mao Zaizai sell so many?
They seem to understand their layout now. The headquarter is located in Tuao, definitely not because of CCA. Their goal has never been the United States, and the Asia-Pacific region is their focus.
They just want to ask now, how many copies can they sell?
With such an important market for footbaths, Marvel certainly has sales channels, but apart from those big soldiers, no one seems to like their comics.
Although they are all comics, everyone plays different things, not only the painting style is completely different, but also the language style is completely different. The language of this comic is really simple and ridiculous.
White Pictures plans to acquire a TV station. This news is not surprising, as several major Hollywood giants have TV stations.Just on a small scale.
The problem now is that they plan to buy NBC when they come up.
Although the current NBC has not reached its most glorious moment, it is definitely not cheap. It is normal to say that it is the most important TV network in the United States.
Now that the news leaked, the acquisition must have failed. Of course, there would be many reasons, nothing more than exorbitant asking prices.
RCA has not been doing well in the past two years.
This is also a product of the failure of diversification. You are good at semiconductors, so why do you need to engage in media.
In this way, William White's development path is extremely clear, other possibilities are smoke bombs, and only the entertainment media is his goal.
In the recent period, William White has been unlucky. The acquisition of TV stations has been blocked, and the acquisition of paper media has also been frustrated. The reasons are also strange. William White's age has also become a reason for rejection.
To be hypocritical, Lao Mei really takes herself seriously. For many people, the role of newspapers in supervising society is more than making profits.
"Hmph, do you really think you can still hold on? How can the economy improve? You are really thinking too much." For a group of stubborn old guys, William White can only express his admiration.
"Filson, change your plan. You can't become fat once you eat. We bought those small TV stations, and the newspaper started in Texas."
"Okay, boss, I'll modify the plan right away."
"Tell Damo not to worry, I have enough patience, I wish them good luck."
William White knew very well that Morgan Stanley was not a good boy, and what they were best at was hostile takeovers.
You say you won't sell it if you don't sell it?
Just kidding, where do people collect their commissions?
Unless your financial situation is good, you will definitely be killed, and Morgan Stanley has always been such a code of conduct.
Fortunately, the movie's box office is very strong, otherwise it will definitely be depressed to death.
The director was upset, and naturally his subordinates were unlucky, and the reputation of the studio tyrant spread like wildfire.
A group of bastards can only endure it, they are the envy of others, as long as the box office sells well, they will definitely make a small fortune.
The few who were poached by Warner are now full of regret, and they are really nothing after leaving White Pictures.
It's very easy to leave, and impossible to come back. Guys who are on the blacklist will never be hired.
To say that people are unlucky, drinking cold water will clog their teeth, and the Hollywood Actors Guild is going to strike.
These bastards are really interesting. If you take White Films as an example, this is not putting someone on fire.
The boss can't support it anymore, and you guys are still thinking about raising your salary. Isn't this the rhythm of letting people close the door early?
William White is also a Hollywood tycoon, how could he agree to these conditions, if you go on strike, you go on strike, it depends on how long you go on.
Regarding the box office share, this cannot be used as an argument. Big-name directors and actors have this benefit. This is not William White’s idea. Haven’t you noticed that the producer and the boss are the same person? From this perspective , There are not many dividends that need to be taken out.
White Films is not evenly distributed, and Eddie Murphy's share is much higher than those who rushed to the street.
The guy who laughed at him at the beginning was speechless. According to the artist contract of White Pictures, those guys have no chance to speak up. They have already booked the remuneration of the series, and the next movie will be determined according to the box office. increase.
CAA is very painful, people don't buy their tricks, if they continue to play, they will be marginalized.
Agent Bean and Home Alone 2 don't use CAA actors.
White Pictures is very overbearing. Either you terminate the contract with the agency, or they will break the contract and kick you out. As long as you are obedient, the company will help you bear a certain amount of expenses.
The current CAA is still a new company, and it does not have the status of later generations, so if it is blocked, it will be blocked, and William White doesn't care.
Packaged service is the service tenet of CAA. They are very dependent on this business now, and they will never give up.
At present, it seems to be a win-win situation. The film company really saves effort, and there is no need for a casting director. Just entrust CAA directly.
Big-name actors do get higher pay, and their bargaining power has also been greatly improved.
Chapter 134 Muddy the Water
There is a strike in the streets, and big-name stars can only follow, unless you want to be isolated by the entire Hollywood.
White Films is an innocent one. Of course, there must be some forces that are fueling the flames. Of course, the biggest suspect is CAA.
It's a pity that they overlooked an important factor, William White is cautious and very young.
If you negotiate amicably, he may not be as fussy as you are. Now that it's like this, everyone is completely torn apart.
The quarrel between White Films and CAA was only spread in a small area, but now it is different. Police Academy 2, which is planned to start filming this year, has publicly stated that it will not use CAA's artists.
Regardless of the conflict between the two, the artistes were obviously very depressed. Fortunately, the choice was in their hands. No matter how powerful a brokerage company is, its main purpose is still to serve.
"To maintain the income of low- and middle-income actors, we don't want packaged services. For example, all I need is a duck. I don't need you to match two chickens. We don't want it no matter how cheap it is."
White Films' explanation is a stab at a hornet's nest. In the name of protecting low- and middle-income actors, the Actors Guild must publicly support it, otherwise it will be an IQ problem.
"Asshole, who told you to mess with William White? We're just a new company."
The recent CAA is very happy, and there are more and more artists under it. When the expansion reaches a certain level, it is natural to negotiate with White Pictures.
Now it's all right, I wanted to isolate White Films, but I ended up cheating myself. Hollywood giants don't have much integrity, such a good backer, just throw the blame away.
The actor's guild was also very upset. Why did it lose its target all at once? It's no use going to CAA for trouble. It's not that they give money, it's just a group of vampires.
Hollywood is not a brokerage company, of course some people jumped out to add insult to injury, they have been very depressed recently.
