Chapter 1060

It was near noon, and Andy returned to his hometown, the Little Palace of Versailles, by helicopter. He sat in the luxurious living room, sipping coffee in a satisfied mood, while flipping through today's newspaper.

""If the box office in the first weekend is less than 90 million, there will be no sequels! "Andy Smith."

"The Incredible Man of Steel!"

"Fun summer box office bomb."

"A thrilling, innovative film that delivers a joyful viewing experience that's lacking in superhero movies right now!"

Not only the major newspapers are reporting the excitement of "Iron Man", but even the harsh film critics are not hesitating to praise this time. 7655 netizens on the IMDB website gave it a high score of 8.4, and the Rotten Tomatoes website has a 94% favorable rate, which also proves the status of this entertainment blockbuster in the hearts of the audience.

Not only has it won a high reputation, but last night's North American premiere scale was 4,105 theaters, ranking ninth in film history. The premiere box office has reached more than 30 million US dollars, and it should not be difficult to break 100 million in three days.

The fact is the same. The production cost is about 1.5 billion US dollars, and the publicity cost is 75 million US dollars. "Iron Man" swept the box office of 104 million US dollars in three days on the weekend. It also puts a lot of pressure on the next dozen or so films that will be released. Many well-known sequels are starting to have a headache and collide with "Iron Man", and the profound influence of "Iron Man" has just been revealed. That's all. . .

Undoubtedly, "Iron Man" was the first film in 2008 with a box office of over 100 million in its first weekend. 100 million US dollars start ranked eighth.

At present, the overseas income of the three-day weekend is 96.75 million US dollars, plus the domestic income, the global box office income is 201 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 200 million in the three days of release.

Not only is the imminent announcement that there will be a sequel to Iron Man, but it also marks the return of thousands of other Marvel superheroes.

And all the media and Hollywood film companies have to marvel at Andy Smith's genius brain that turns everything into gold, and the market value of Marvel has soared again, reaching as high as four billion US dollars.

Of course, in order to get the most out of the box office, Robert Downey Jr., who Andy turned salty fish over, and Pepper Kate Beckinsale, who has been having secret trysts with him for in-depth treatment these two days, started a national run promotion.

Andy's original words to them were, "After 100 publicity shows, the second part can increase your salary and salary ceiling for you!"

After all, Andy set up a harsh contract in order to prevent Robert Downey Jr. from becoming popular, as he did in his previous life, and set up a strict contract. Let alone the kindness of knowledge, or gratitude, it is all nonsense in the face of interests, "Iron Man 3", Downey not only received 50 million yuan in remuneration and dividends, but also almost controlled the crew throughout the entire process.

Although there is also a clause of increasing pay, but JIAN is as deceitful as Andy, how could it be possible for others to take advantage of it. Since he didn't give Downey the 500,000 dollars that was obviously a bully, he naturally wouldn't accept Downey's unreasonable idea of ​​raising the price. Controllable is his favorite rhythm.

The success of "Iron Man" made the whole of Hollywood know that Andy Smith's position here is getting stronger and stronger, and he is already a veritable Hollywood boss. As long as he can make money, many people will naturally gather around him.

The big boss of Paramount called as soon as the box office came out, and had a hot chat with Andy to consolidate the relationship. The other big bosses hoped to get a share of Marvel's superheroes.

The most greedy and ambitious is undoubtedly the Disney that wants to become a giant. They tried to contact Andy very early and proposed to acquire the Marvel Group.

It's just that there is a lot of probing, but seeing Marvel, which has been turned into gold and taken off, Disney finally can't sit still.

Kevin Meyer, who was Disney's chief strategy officer at the time, expressed the importance of the Marvel Group to his development of the Disney boy market in front of the board members present and the CEOs of various subsidiaries at the board meeting on Monday, and hoped to get support. Completed the acquisition of Marvel Corporation.

It’s just that Jobs, who is the largest individual shareholder of Walt Disney who holds 7.7% of the shares, is far away in San Francisco and can only participate in the meeting through video conference. On his thin face, he blinked his deep and wise eyes, and touched his face. With a beard and stubble, he lowered his head and muttered, listening to the opinions of the board members, he cleared his throat and said.

"Andy Smith will not sell the Marvel Group..."

Jobs' speech immediately made Disney's board meeting quiet, and everyone focused on the computer monitor. Watching Jobs in the video, Disney CEO Robert Iger frowned and asked, "Steve, what's your opinion?"

"Among the people sitting here, I should be the only one who has dealt with Andy Smith the most. This young man is indeed a genius. He is admirable both in terms of strategic vision and in terms of employing people. When dealing with him, one cannot be fooled by his age. , let alone underestimate him.

If you have read his information, you should clearly find that he is building his own entertainment media empire. In addition to not completing the integration and lacking in size, every piece of his industrial puzzle was in place at the beginning of the acquisition. It is not the best company in the industry, and even the Marvel Group is a difficult company, but it has been integrated and revitalized in his hands.

What he values ​​most is IP resources. The reason why he said he would not agree to sell Marvel is because of IP resources. Although he is excellent, no one is perfect. YU, very vindictive and so on. . . Don't laugh, everyone, do you feel like a child who can't grow up?

The problem is that even if everyone can't understand him, there is nothing they can do about him, because he is too smart, just like now, everyone feels that Marvel is about to rise, but if anyone wants a piece of the pie, they can only go to He, everyone should be clear that most of his companies are his private property, and he alone has the final say! "

After listening to Jobs' words, as a good friend, Disney CEO Robert Iger's eyes flickered, and he pondered for a while and said: "What if we acquire the entire entertainment and media group that is still in its infancy? By exchanging shares, and then giving him a seat on the board of directors .”

"Hehe, Robert, unless everyone here agrees to give him the position of chairman of the board of directors, otherwise, he will only reply you with disgusting words! His appetite for power is too great, and what he likes is to implement his decisions. You can't satisfy him with the power structure within his control!"

Jobs, who was gnashed by Andy, had a thorough study of Andy Smith's character. After all, the opponent who suffered from Andy's big loss is the one who knows him best.

Hearing Steve's words, there was an uproar in the meeting room. How could they tolerate a 24-year-old kid pointing fingers at them, all of them were like old cats who wanted to blow their hair, and started to spit. , rejected the proposal to acquire Marvel Group.

Chief Strategy Officer Kevin Meyer looked at the meeting and couldn't help smiling wryly. He knew that the acquisition of Marvel Group was out of the question, even if it was the most important part of Disney's strategic layout.

Andy, who was in a meeting with a think tank from Washington to Los Angeles, naturally didn't know that Disney's board meeting had become a mess because of his problems. I want to go blind.

He has basically completed the layout of the entertainment media group, and all he needs is an integration. How could he agree to be acquired by Disney and become a member of the board of directors? understand better than anyone else.

As for becoming the largest individual shareholder of Disney, and the possibility of being in charge of the giant Disney, Andy never thought about it. First of all, it is impossible. Secondly, Disney is too complicated internally, with many factions, and the struggle has never stopped. In Disney, Board members have long been keenly interested in Disney's succession as chief executive, and are wary of the dangers of a CEO who stays on for too long.
