Chapter 276: Box office hits

Roger Eckert's meeting with Daniel was not much calmer than Mark Zuckerberg. In the huge Boston consortium, Roger Ebert is not a small person, especially when the consortium has been hit in the military and industrial fields After that, the John Eckert Foundation, which is in charge of the entertainment industry and new technology fields, has more say in the consortium, and its direct performance is that it is responsible for management, that is, the funds that can be used, more than 7 billion US dollars, which is very important for the current For the Boston consortium, it is not a small amount, what's more, it is far from their traditional field.

Even so, Roger didn't have his usual composure before preparing to meet Daniel.

Generally speaking, as the helmsman of such a huge amount of money, he rarely puts himself in such a situation. He is generally in control of Zhizhu, and he is aloof. He never has to guess what other people think, but only needs to express his will. ——This is the characteristic of an old consortium, especially an old consortium that is slightly declining.

However, this time the guests were different.

He's a young three-time Oscar winner, a young billionaire, and a well-connected aristocrat.

Built in the 1940s, Roger's apartment is quaint and stately, apparently well maintained to maintain a strong sense of history.

No matter how much mental preparation he made, he was still slightly shaken when he saw such a young Daniel in a suit walking down from the car door opened by the security guards.

Younger and more handsome than expected.

"Mr. Eckert. It's an honor to meet you."

Old Roger, who was standing at the door to greet him, paused, and Daniel opened his mouth first.

He sighed inwardly, and the smile on his face became even warmer.

In Roger's apartment. The two talked for more than three hours without a third person. Of course, Daniel can decide many things, but Roger is not necessarily. After all, the funds he controls are not his own, but come from many shareholders. It was clear, though, that he seemed confident in himself. This is also good news for Daniel.

Today's meeting between the two will not confirm anything. It's just a beginning, if both parties are interested, there must be intensive confidential negotiations next.

When Daniel was sent out, his face was very light. The negotiation seems to be quite satisfactory.

This time, Javier of mb didn't come, of course, to avoid being noticed, although Daniel is a public figure, he is still a newcomer in the business field.

...

"Yes, we've talked about it."

Javier's phone has been called several times, but Miller has the phone.

Javier seemed to hesitate, but in the end he didn't say anything, just asked the other party's attitude. Of course, Javier is in charge of the negotiation for specific matters, and it is natural to tell him these things.

Daniel also knows, for finding the Eckert fund. Javier disapproves.

There are too many funds interested in mb, how to make full use of the relationship network behind these funds - not a simple interpersonal network, under the consortium economy, many companies have close capital and ownership relationships, which can lead to Move the whole body, if mb can choose well. It can be fully paved for many actions in the future.

It's just that Daniel has his own considerations. mb is very important to him, but not the most important. It is the interest, but it is not the biggest interest. What's more, he is not a pure business or investor. After all, he is a Hollywood star. His goal The location is of course different from the helm of mb.

Daniel also considered the relationship with Javier. In the initial stage of MB, it can be said that Daniel and Javier cooperated seamlessly. Together, they pushed this novel matter to the public in a short period of time. Influential public events make mb deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At that time, a large part of his energy was spent on mb, Javier was in charge of execution, he came up with plans and goals, and worked closely with each other, it was certainly a good time.

With the proposal of the f2f project, he and Javier, firstly because of Google's intervention, and secondly, also considering the impact of mb itself, the content of the two sides' consideration is different, and the interests are not completely the same. Many times, conflicts have arisen.

However, Daniel is not going to consider Javier's attitude.

With the development of mb to this day, the negative impact a professional manager can have is very limited. As the holder of 70% of mb's shares, he can of course decide how to dispose of the company. Even if it is Google, if he wants to intervene, he must his means. As long as it's done properly, Google will have to keep silent except to quit mb.

...

"Daniel **** returns to Los Angeles!"

His whereabouts were, as expected, heavily reported, coming out of Los Angeles International Airport with no disguise, and of course being quickly photographed by the paparazzi.

For a while, the comments that looked forward to his voice dispelled those doubts a little bit.

"Buying a little time is enough."

Daniel blew on the tea leaves floating in the teacup. Since Disney did it, he had the habit of drinking green tea, and Kusa, who was sitting across from him, was also used to it, but no one would mention this kind of trivial matter.

"...What do you think about mb?"

Kussa asked hesitantly, these things should be said to have little to do with him, although speaking, he can also intervene in these matters, but generally speaking, this is the category of Raymond. mb is a little more special, and Daniel handles it more directly. But since f2f's rapid development, Daniel's actions on mb are a little confusing.

This time, Daniel went to Boston to discuss with Eckert Fund. In addition, several Wall Street companies, Daniel seemed to be in touch through Raymond.

Daniel didn't talk to him carefully, but Cusa already had a little idea about it all.

"Have Javier found you?" Daniel smiled, obviously his recent actions towards mb. It made Javier a little worried, but he couldn't do anything, and it was expected to know a thing or two from Kusa. "You guessed right. I plan to push mb after Google. Preparations will start before the end of April. Before the end of this year, I hope it will be completed."

Google's was put together by Wall Street, resulting in poor financing. The issue price has been suppressed by 20%, which is bad news for Google itself. but. It is a big positive for technology stocks caught in the stock market crash. The Google stock issued at US$85 rose rapidly after the listing, and some Internet technology companies intend to go public in the later period, of course, they can take advantage of the east wind.

It's just an action in itself. The meaning of this made Cusa a little surprised.

"you want--"

"It doesn't make sense to hold MB in your hand," Daniel narrowed his eyes, "The influence of MB is getting bigger and bigger, and our pressure will be bigger and bigger. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is only natural to sell a good price. There are no more wolves staring at this piece of meat. Although mb was created by me, now is not the time to be a family business. If you want to develop continuously, you must introduce capital from all parties. We can Just have an influence.”

Cusa didn't know that Daniel was going to basically withdraw from the mb. To leave an influence, it is roughly that you can have a position on the board of directors, as long as you have a few points of shares. This goal can be achieved.

Then more than half of the shares saved, the price that can be sold later is billions.

What does Daniel want so much money for?

...

Since the release of "Ghost Omen" in North America, the total box office has just exceeded 60 million, basically all in place, and there is no potential.

This is of course not a loss, but compared to the previous efforts of dd Pictures. Whether it is "Greek Wedding", "Rwanda Hotel", or the specious "Pirates of the Caribbean". Of course, the performance of "Ghost Omen" is still disappointing, or relieved. No one wants dd Pictures to be like its boss, and it will never fail.

However, with the release of "Ghost Omen" in Europe, the situation has changed greatly. In France, the box office exceeded 10 million, Germany was nearly 10 million, the United Kingdom 15 million, Spain, Japan, etc. have also gained a lot, and there is a wall. The situation of the fragrance inside and outside the wall has made many people fall below the glasses.

Those who were slightly gloating were also slapped hard.

The global achievement of 158 million US dollars is of course a satisfactory box office result. dd Pictures is expected to earn no less than 30 million with this film, and there is also a large amount of income from DVD video tapes of the horror film.

In this way, the financial affairs of dd Films this year will definitely look better.

...

In April, when Daniel told Javier and Larry Page about the idea of ​​pushing the mb.

Steve. Martin's comedy "Love until the house collapses" is also released.

Compared with "Ghost Omen", the release of this type of film by dd Pictures makes people more confident, and "House Collapse" has also worked well in the early publicity. Of course, these factors are also reflected in the theater chain. Arrange.

2802 screens were released.

It closed at 11.92 million on the first day and Friday, with a total of 35.43 million on the weekend and three days, ranking first in the weekly box office - this result is not bad, of course it cannot be said to be particularly good, but there is no strong competitor in the same period. It's good news for "Fall", the number of screens has continued to increase, with an increase of 70 in the second week, and another 120 in the third week, and the highest peak can reach the edge of 3,000 screens.

The theater chain immediately felt proud of its decision, the film's reputation continued to ferment, and the box office trajectory was quite beautiful.

At the end of the second week, 32.01 million, only slightly fell.

There were also 26 million at the end of the third week, a slightly larger decline than before, but in terms of horizontal comparison, it is already an unexpected number.

By the end of its third week, "The House Collapses" had consistently topped the weekly box office charts.

The total box office is 128.22 million~www.readwn.com~ This figure is enough to make people think of the grand occasion of "Greek Wedding". According to the film's box office trajectory, it is conceivable that it will climb to 200 million in the later period.

"House Collapse" has naturally become a new focus of the media, which is of course beneficial to Daniel - although overall, the influence of winning the best actor is negative. The response was not easy, but under his repeated interruptions, there was no one-sided public opinion.

For Daniel, that was enough.

As the vanguard of Daniel, the Washington Post is now being watched by many people, and Daniel simply regards it as a window to convey his meaning.

"Daniel returned to Los Angeles before, apparently to supervise "Love Until the House Collapses"..." (To be continued)
