Chapter 339 Remake
Many theaters are old and the information is not aggregated in a timely manner.

It wasn't until the next morning that Suri got the statistical report, which showed that the North American box office of "Death Comes" on its first day reached $1710 million.

It seems that there are still a lot of viewers who don't believe in evil.

Compared with the production cost of more than 2000 million US dollars, this result has been very successful. It is more than double the result expected by director Wen Ziren. Add in the overseas box office, which is basically equal to half of the cost.

If we maintain yesterday's performance today, we will completely recover the production costs.

The release time is still long, and the next money earned will be the gross profit of Daju Film Company, which is a good start.

Jiang Jiaya felt happy when she thought that she would be able to go filming soon. Now she stood in front of Su Rui and said:
"Director Wen called us. The theater chain has temporarily added some screens since last night."

"It just so happens that there are no interesting movies recently. Director Wen has discussed with the theaters and should be able to increase the film scheduling rate to about 30%. Online reviews of this movie are relatively positive, and many news say it is beyond imagination."

"Ah, also, Oprah's talk show invited you to appear on the show again, and there are some other interview appointments..."

After listening to Jiang Jiaya talking for a long time, Su Rui waved her hand and refused:

"You've all pushed it for me. Even though many Internet celebrities are very popular, high exposure also means that they are easy to get into trouble. I have no shortage of fame now, so it is safer to keep a low profile."

Jiang Jiaya suddenly realized it and said: "Just like in Washington, some organizations hidden underwater are the real controllers of this country?"

Suri laughed and said:

"more or less."

"I remember there was a TV series called "House of Cards" in the UK, and they helped me get the rights to remake it."

"At that time, we will hire a group of Washington think tanks to act as consultants and re-create a script with an American background. We will make this drama one of the most important projects next year."

heard.

Jiang Jiaya counted on her fingers and said with emotion: "There are already a lot of dramas next year, will you be busy by then?"

Su Rui was surprised and asked: "Do you think I'm busy now?"

"..."

Well, Jiang Jiaya understood immediately.

Anyway, let others do the tasks. If they can't be completed by then and the new drama is released, it will only be the employees' problem.

As Director.

Suri only needs to decide "whether to shoot" and "what to shoot". The rest of the worries are left to his subordinates and have nothing to do with him as the decision-maker.

A total of at least 15 TV series will be prepared for next year. "House of Cards", which was a smash hit in its previous life, has completely revitalized Netflix's streaming business.

As a rare sensitive subject, "House of Cards" is actually more like the real "Game of Thrones", exposing many of the darkness in Washington to people's eyes.

Of course.

Through "House of Cards", it was thoroughly exposed that wealthy people avoid taxes through charitable funds, and how the military-industrial complex controls Washington, as well as how some people legally collect money after leaving their jobs as consultants, or by setting up charitable funds.

Su Rui doesn't have the guts to poke a hornet's nest. There are some problems that happen to whoever encounters them. Those who are barefoot may not be afraid of those who wear shoes, but his family has a big business, so it's better to be careful.

Since the founding of Netflix Entertainment.

In order to avoid being suppressed by traditional TV stations and film companies, it spent about US$3400 million on lobbying, which is enough money to film a TV series.

As for where the lobbying money was spent in the end and what it was really used for, Suri was not sure. He never personally got involved in those bad things.Anyway, I have no intention of making America great again, let alone becoming a member of some "death list". Obviously, it is better to do less than to do more.

Jiang Jiaya, who didn't know what Su Rui was thinking, first recorded the key points in her notebook.

She turned forward two pages and then said:
"The British Aston Martin Motor Company agreed to send a One77 prototype to New York and pay an advertising sponsorship fee of US$77, provided that the two new cars, DBS and DB9, also appear in the "Gossip Girl" TV series Here, the shot duration cannot be less than 5 minutes.”

Suri said cheerfully:
"This is just a small problem. It has been a few months. I want to know when the One77 I ordered will be delivered."

"I asked before, I think we have to wait another year or two."

"???"

Last year, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg gave Suri an Arabian horse foal, but he later learned he would have to wait four years before he could ride it.

Nowadays, the foal is like an old man, and a horse trainer is specially hired to provide for it. Calculating the labor cost, it is more than the price of buying the horse.

Knowing that it would take that long for the new car to be delivered, Su Rui was quite speechless and continued:
"Then you ask again. If it doesn't work, just sell me the prototype. The quality may be better than the mass-produced model."

Let’s not mention the quality. Anyway, prototype cars easily appreciate in value, which has been confirmed by many examples.

A few years ago.

Maybach teamed up with a tire manufacturer to create a two-door supercar called "Exelero", and some collectors said they were willing to pay $1000 million to buy it.

The rarer it is, the more collectible it is.

So on the premise that the prototype car has no problems, Suri would rather spend more money than wait patiently for another two years.

Rolls-Royce Phantoms and the like are simply terrible in Beverly Hills. Even the Ferrari Enzo has several of the same model, which doesn’t look so cool.

Speaking of Ferrari's limited-edition models, it has long been proven that they will fake sales. The F80 launched in the 40s was originally intended to sell only 300 units. In the end, it was too popular and sold more than 800 units.

The holding amount is too high, which will have a huge impact on the appreciation rate.

So much so that Suri doubted whether Enzo's sales exceeded 399 units, because it was too common in Los Angeles.

When the new car arrived, he had the urge to sell the Enzo and instead keep the Bugatti Veyron in Hollywood for transportation, and maybe replace it with a new Veyron.

Because the new model has a convertible version, the horsepower is stronger, and the blue and black color combination is also more handsome.

To Suri, a luxury car in the eyes of others is just like changing a mobile phone case. There is no need to hesitate at all. You only need to consider whether you like it or not.

Subsequently.

He also warned:
"Also ask Tesla if they want to spend money on advertising and arrange an environmentally friendly character to show off the unsold garbage truck. I have completely lost expectations for it, and I just hope it can be improved. Brand influence to prepare for subsequent sedans.”

"...Thank you so much. I'm driving this garbage truck now. It must have been given to us because it couldn't be sold."

Jiang Jiaya's head is full of black lines.

Suri waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry about these details. Remember to ask Elon Musk again. Just say that I want to use Fisker as the main body to acquire their remaining shares to avoid duplication of research and development and save some time. Let Secretary Amanda help me talk about it. If it works, do it; if it doesn’t, pull it down.”

It’s been a long time since I bought shares, but Tesla is still half-dead, with its valuation remaining at around US$3 million.

As he became richer than before, Suri felt that he would be able to sustain himself financially after acquiring it.

In addition, there is an opportunity, so I plan to kill this competitor in advance, just like Silicon Valley's "pinch merger", to clear the way for the future...
