Chapter 255 Times Have Changed

On the second day after the fight in the desert area, ET aliens appeared on the painting, and Hollywood was stunned that the record of speed of life and death just set was easily broken.

"Congratulations, Spielberg, you have to help me make a movie. You see, it would be great to separate the schedules, so as to maximize the benefits."

"Okay, as long as the script is suitable, I will help you make one."

"Thank you, don't worry, there will definitely be a suitable script."

"I'll take a share."

"Fuck, Lucas, I'm not saying you, you won't vote for this movie, just like I won't vote for Star Wars."

"Shet, are you going to make Jurassic Park?"

"Ha, Lucas, how about it, do you know that I have an island in the Caribbean Sea?"

"You madman."

"Thank you for the compliment."

The two guys didn't expect that they would know such explosive news during a simple golf game.

"William, shouldn't it be Disneyland?"

"Are you kidding me, Lucas, I regret it very much now. If I can, I want to demolish that newly opened one."

"I'm afraid it won't work. No wonder you stopped the project in Paris. You really lost a lot?"

"Don't mention it, if it wasn't for this burden, I would have started to make a profit a long time ago."

When it comes to profit, everyone understands that if you want to go public to make money, it’s okay if you don’t make a profit, but don’t expect the stock price to get better.

As a super big mouth in Hollywood, what Lucas knows, naturally the whole world knows. Anyone who has read this book knows what kind of scene Jurassic Park is.

However, to build a paradise for a movie, or the kind that hangs overseas alone, how willful you are!

Well, in the world of the rich, it is indeed difficult for the people who eat melons to understand.

As William White said, the money earned is naturally spent, and it is a shame to store it away.

The people who eat melons really don't care how he squanders, and are even a little happy to see the success. As long as it is not a private island, since it is open to the public, the price must not be outrageous.

A movie that has not yet been written off has received unprecedented attention. Anyway, this book is out of stock again.

The bigwigs in Hollywood are lamenting that they really don't know each other in today's world, and today's Hollywood has become extremely weird.

They vaguely remember that just two years ago, it was a miracle to have a box office of over 100 million. What is going on now, over 100 million seems to be just a start.

Now this summer, there are other ways to survive there.

Yes, the times have changed, and we can no longer look at things with old eyes. If they can’t keep up with the big team, they will be the second United Artists.

Being acquired is actually nothing, except for the CEO and other executives, there should not be much turmoil.

But it is a pity that Kerkorian doesn't think so. MGM has its own system, and the acquisition of United Artists, in a nutshell, is to strengthen the distribution department. All their previous films were distributed through United Artists.

As for others?

As long as the price is right, everything is for sale. The change of hands of 007 made William White excited for a long time, not because of how profitable IT was, but because he was thinking about United Artists and MGM's film library.

In the previous life, MGM always borrowed money to shoot 007 every time it was about to go bankrupt. The very outrageous point is that it can be brought back to life every time.

Speaking of which, this is the grandfather of the spy film, whether it is Mission: Impossible or The Bourne Shadow, there are shadows of 007 in it.

Why didn't you shoot it later?

It’s not that there’s no script, but it’s also spoiled by others. The 007 that can use a Mondeo as a car is too funny, and Agent Bean is almost the same.

William has already figured it out, these two guys can also make cameos for each other, of course, this kind of thing can only be done occasionally, if you keep doing this, I'm afraid it's not a spy movie.

The box office of more than 50 million US dollars in the first weekend is indeed a bit sensational. If this trend continues, it will be at least 300 million US dollars.

This is just the box office in North America. Generally speaking, Lao Mei prefers to watch movies, and the whole world adds one piece, which means it is comparable to North America.

No matter how you play in Europe, it is impossible to do anything in Hollywood. It's not that you can't make movies. The market potential is different, and there is no comparison at all.

Now, not only no one is saying that the movie is not making money, but they are all like rabbits, all rushing in with red eyes.

If there is only one White Films, it is an alternative. Now that there is a second one, there may be a third one.

Hollywood is indeed crazy, isn't it just a big production?

Who would not be able to do this? As for good directors, there is no shortage of them in Hollywood. As long as your script is good, it doesn't matter, you can spend money on it.

As for William White's plan, they really didn't know what to say.

Anyway, if you have money, you can do whatever you want.

Lucas didn't talk about investment. He has Star Wars in his hand, so he naturally knows how profitable the peripheral products are. Needless to say, those laser swords bring him a lot of wealth every year.

The same is true of Jurassic Park, everything is ready-made, isn't it just selling dinosaurs?

Look at those Transformers, it's just maddeningly jealous.

Of course, the most aggrieved one is Gundam. At that time, I thought it was sold for a sky-high price. Now I look back and see that the wealth of hundreds of millions of dollars has disappeared.

The entertainment industry is so powerful that it will naturally attract off-market funds. Not only the European consortium is making a comeback, but even the desert tyrants are also ready to move.

Hollywood's securitization is very thorough, and one factor for the slow progress of filming actually has a lot to do with Wall Street.

Producers get investment through investment banks, and investment banks turn these investments into bonds. If you think about it, you will understand that if the shooting is over in two months, the bonds may not have been sold yet.

While making a movie, sell bonds at the same time. When your movie is almost finished, sell it at a high price and buy it at a low price. In fact, it is similar to stocks, but the management is not so strict.

The United States today is actually not short of funds. If it weren't for the damn interest rate, the economy might have improved a long time ago.

"Father, is it still okay?"

"I don't agree. Reagan is already mad. There is no inflation, but he still tightened monetary policy."

"It doesn't help to be angry, they may have bigger plans, and they will not explain this to a vice president."

"Hmph, these bastards, but, Dad, William White doesn't seem to believe that the economy will improve. I asked him what good investment he had, and he told me to buy Coca-Cola stock."

"Tsk, then what are you waiting for?"

Since William White bought Coca-Cola's stock, it has now doubled. How much time has passed, it is too scary.

It's funny, those guys on Wall Street. I always think of fooling William White into investing, but I really can't figure it out. Does my buddy really look so stupid.

This guy actually thought badly, what people value most is not his beautiful knives.

Wall Street guy. Perhaps the most superstitious group of people in the United States, William White only needs to buy a little stock for a token, and they can make a good publicity.

It's just a pity that William White doesn't want to see these bastards.
