Chapter 1036 Making Money Is Easier Than Drinking Water
In the first week, the box office in North America exceeded 70 million. This result is actually not unexpected. If there is no such a large publicity effort, it will really hit the street.
Even so, the global box office exceeded 100 million in three days, which is indeed a bit exaggerated.
What makes people vomit blood even more is that although the box office fell in the second week, it was still close to 50 million.
Fuck, you have a global box office of 100 million US dollars a week, are you planning to go crazy? At this point, no one will talk about losing money anymore, this is the rhythm of making money and getting soft!
Before the film was released, many film critics and industry insiders were not optimistic about the box office prospects. After all, White Pictures spent at least $300 million to make the film.
Cameron himself once suspected that the income and expenditure could not be balanced, and the company would suffer a large loss as a result. It was for this reason that I planned not to get paid at the beginning.
A movie of this level needs to stay in theaters for at least four months. It can be said that in the current situation, the box office of one billion dollars is definitely not the end.
So, is it 1.5 billion or 1.6 billion?
Although the movie is very good, no one plans to hire this director. There is no secret in Hollywood. How much Cameron can burn money is simply sensational.
For another company, the company may go bankrupt before the movie is finished. Moreover, this is a high probability event.
A director can't control the cost. To be honest, no one has the guts to play this game.
Soros gritted his teeth with hatred. William White was throwing a lot of money here, but he lost 400 million.
Comparing goods is boring, and people are more angry than people. You know, movies are just people playing tickets. Looking at the rising Nasdaq, the old guy immediately became depressed.
"Earn a billion? Lucas, are you kidding? The North American box office has been severely overdrawn, roughly 700 million.
Hahaha, hahaha, this is a record that makes everyone desperate! "
"700 million? Well, it is indeed very powerful." Lucas was obviously a little depressed. This movie does not accept any investment. Of course, even if votes were allowed, no one would dare.
Thinking of next year's awards ceremony, Lucas gritted his teeth again. The award ceremony is over, and the DVD of this product should be on the market. It is almost a certainty that it will make a fortune again.
"If you come less, how can Star Wars earn less. I am a one-off, and it is impossible to make a sequel."
"Aren't you? A sequel? Let's make a living. If this is a series, the Department of Justice will talk to you."
"Oh, it's not that I don't want to, it's impossible. Even if there is a sequel, it's still a bad movie. Forget it, it's impossible for this kind of movie to have a sequel, and it's impossible to remake it.
You go to ask Spielberg, will ET aliens be remade? "
The boss is very happy here, let alone the crew members. The salary of White Pictures is not high, but there is an advantage here that other film companies do not have.
You can talk about dividends, or you can talk about bonuses. When the movie sells well, there will be a lot of income.
CAA, the largest brokerage company in the United States, also had to adopt the format contract of White Pictures.
Ha ha, they think they disagree. However, the days of being boycotted by White Films were really hard enough.
There is no package contract, sign it if you like, if you don't agree, we will give up the artists under CAA.
The big shop bullies the customers, and vice versa. In this world, there are not so many reasons to talk about. Human beings have evolved for so many years, and the rule that the strong are respected has never changed.
Li Jianxi doesn't like watching movies, not at all. The company's business has not been very good recently, and he is already annoyed.
To his amazement, in the blink of an eye, his daughter became the CEO.
Well, his daughter's starting point is higher than his. There is no step-by-step, just go directly to 250 nanometers.
The old guy is dizzy. It seems that not only his daughter is self-willed, but also his cheap son-in-law.
In a bad mood, I saw overwhelming advertisements again. On a whim, I actually planned to appreciate it.
Nima, it's just a movie, 100 million a week, is this a fairy tale?
He is not interested in movies, what he wants to learn is marketing methods.
Yes, White Pictures isn't making a movie at all, they're just running a project. If these guys are allowed to sell TV sets, Li Jianxi believes that there will be a very good performance.
Cough cough, the result is not very good, the old guy can't stand it in less than an hour. It's the first time to watch an IMAX movie, it's better not to choose a long story. Three hours is definitely not easy.
Need to line up? Looking at the long queue at the ticket office, Li Jianxi couldn't help complaining secretly. This shit, it's too easy to make money.
"Let's go, let's go back."
"Okay, President, the driver has arrived at the door."
On the way home, Li Jianxi thought a lot. He found that there seemed to be some problems with his path. Technology is indeed important, but design and brand management still have a long way to go.
As for the daughter?
He really didn't know what to say other than a sigh. Li Fuzhen has people around him, so he certainly knows about his daughter's situation. Compared with his unlucky son, tsk, there is really a gap.
What crime did I do? If Fu was really a boy, I wouldn't have to think about successors at all.
In this regard, Meidi and Smecta are completely different. What's wrong with the daughter? It's too late and he didn't let his son take over. Xiao Tang and Ivanka are not at the same level at all.
There are actually many similar cases, where the top rich people marry each other. I have been in you for a long time, and you are in me. I really don’t need a son.
No son, no daughter, no big deal. Industry is industry, family is family, they are completely different things.
Let's just say it's out of the question, his daughter inherited his personal wealth. It's not a family with no clue.
The same is true here for William White. Those sons and daughters of his, whoever has the ability will take more. If it doesn't work, just be a rice bug.
Just one thing, alcoholism and laundry detergent. If you get this, you can't take a dime out of the family fund until you quit.
Lessons learned from Paul Getty, he didn't want to try. Making too much money is actually useless in the end. Wife, son, grandson, none of them can be trusted. It is only a museum that inherits his huge legacy.
The old guy must be very regretful in his old age. Otherwise, twenty-five wills would not be amended.
His judgment was also basically correct. The Getty family really didn't have any talents. Alcoholics, drug addicts, it's only been a few decades, and the so-called richest family has disappeared from everyone.
You have a certain ability to master the corresponding wealth. If you don't know how to use your wealth, you might as well be an ordinary person.
Rodney King, the guy who caused the chaos in Los Angeles, received a total of about $4 million in government compensation. From street gangster to millionaire.
However, his ending was not good. Like many people who won the lottery, he would soon lose himself, and then die!
Don't say you can't, it's really hard to say. It's not popular for ghosts to wear a mask to receive prizes. People who win the lottery every year can be queried.
Some idle organizations have even done special surveys. The result is different from what everyone thinks. More than half of the people have used it for a few years, and they have ruined themselves.
