Chapter 139: The joint suppression of the giants
Chapter 139 The Giants' Joint Suppression
On Friday, March 10, the Nasdaq hit its all-time high of 5,048.62, more than doubling from 1999.
Over the weekend, Monday, March 13, the processing of a large initial batch of sell orders triggered a chain reaction of selling: investors, funds and securities firms began to liquidate.
These include a large number of high-tech companies such as Cisco, Microsoft, Dell, etc., which have sold stocks worth more than $5 billion in total.
In just six days, the Nasdaq lost nearly 900 points.
However, market analysts on Wall Street believe that this is just a correction in the stock market.
Because the federal government has conducted an antitrust investigation of Microsoft, it will be announced in court in half a month. According to the grapevine, Microsoft's monopoly has already been established.
Microsoft is the symbol of high-tech stocks and the company with the highest market value in the world. Once Microsoft is characterized as a monopoly company, its stock price will definitely be affected, and it will affect the entire stock market.
Therefore, some fluctuations in the Nasdaq stock market at this stage are normal.
Sitting in the office, Dunn put down the "Wall Street Journal" in his hand, and looked at the various analyses of financial experts and stock experts above, and thought it was a bit ridiculous.
At this moment, Ella Fisher knocked on the door with a dignified expression and came in, "Dawn, Bill, please come over."
Dunn was stunned for a moment, a little unclear. Therefore, it stands to reason that he is the boss, and if there is a problem, Bill McNick should come to his office.
He didn't hesitate, got up and went to the president's office, only to find that the room smelled of smoke. In addition to Bill McNick, there were also Andrew O'Hare, Nina Jacobson, Kevin Feige, Grant Hie Er et al.
"What happened?" Tang En raised his brows, realizing that something was wrong.
Nina Jacobson said solemnly: "Dawn, "Spider-Man" has been targeted."
"I know, Disney and Fox's TV stations are banned from reporting." Dunn smiled, looking nonchalant, but found that everyone present was frowning, "Could it be ... they made a big move again?"
"indeed so!"
Dunn sneered: "It's impossible to give "Spider-Man" an R rating, right?"
Bill McNick shook his head and said, "It's impossible. If you can't get pg grades, pg13 will definitely be fine. Universal Pictures is also a core member of the MPAA committee."
Dunn narrowed his eyes and looked around at everyone. Kevin Feige, the lowest-ranked and youngest, handed Dunn a document, "Don, Disney and Fox have adjusted the schedule of their major blockbusters this summer."
Tang En suddenly realized that it was so!
He quickly browsed through the documents. "Spider-Man" was set for June 22. This day was Thursday, and it was the premiere and early stage.
Disney's A-level production "Sixty Seconds" was originally scheduled for June 9th. Just after the release date of "Spider-Man" was announced, the release date was immediately revised, and the premiere ceremony was held on June 20th. , will be released nationwide on June 21.
Coincidentally, Fox's sci-fi action film "Titans a.e.", originally scheduled for July 14, has also been adjusted to premiere in the United States on Saturday, June 24.
Even a fool can understand that Disney and Fox are jointly targeting "Spider-Man" and suppressing Dunn Pictures!
Fox has such a move, Dunn can also understand, after all, he interrupted the cooperation with Fox, which had a very bad influence on Tom Rothman.
But Disney is going too far.
He just hit back at Bruce Willis, is he worthy of continuous threats, smears, and suppression like Disney?
Don't forget, Disney was the first to pick things up in the first place!
Had it not been for Disney to suppress "Wedding Crashers" and let Bruce Willis make remarks against "Wedding Crashers", would Dunn fight back?
But even so, Dunn never targeted Disney, but gave Bruce Willis a lesson.
Relying on the strength of the company, Disney will forcefully suppress Dunn Pictures. If one wave fails, the next wave will come.
Too much!
Dunn is not irritated by the actions of Twentieth Century Fox and Tom Rothman, and even thought of today after he chose Bill McNick and interrupted his cooperation with Fox.
What he hates is Disney. It's been half a year since the Bruce Willis thing happened. Disney is still chattering and besieging Dunn Films. It's so deceiving!
Grant Hill was Dunn's partner when he was filming "Titanic". He witnessed Jon Landau being pushed out of Hollywood and knew Dunn's ruthless character.
Looking at Dunn's gloomy face, Grant Hill said: "Don, it's not that serious. We will notify Universal, adjust the schedule, and avoid them."
Nina Jacobson was the first to shake his head, "No! We are different from Disney and Fox. "Spider-Man" is a work that Dunn Pictures and Marvel Pictures have exhausted all their efforts. We must give fans the greatest confidence, The biggest expectation. Adjusting the schedule is tantamount to admitting defeat.”
Andrew O'Hare agreed: "Yes, the corporate culture of Dunn Pictures is 'hard work, struggle, and never give up'. Retreat before a battle is not our style!"
Tang En glanced at Andrew with admiration. He was indeed a veteran of the company and understood his spirit very well.
Bill McNick glanced at Dunn and said earnestly, "I don't know your personal situation, but I am very aware of the company's situation. Now the company has only 50 million US dollars on its books. Adjusting the tax structure and company composition will cost another sum. In other words, the company's debt problem is very serious, and the box office of "Spider-Man" cannot be damaged!"
Grant Hill agreed: "I agree, it's better to have a long-term plan rather than a temporary fight. As long as "Spider-Man" sells at the box office, will it still be afraid of the suppression of Disney and Fox?"
Dunn stared at Kevin Feige, "What about you? Kevin, what do you think?"
Kevin Feige is the assistant to the president of Marvel Studios and the assistant producer of "Spider-Man". He is Dunn's favorite candidate for the next Marvel president, and he intends to cultivate it.
Kevin Feige pondered for a moment, cautiously speaking, "I think what you said makes sense."
Dunn suddenly exploded!
nonsense!
Kevin Feige saw everyone's strange expressions, coughed lightly, and quickly added, ""Spider-Man" is the first movie of Marvel Studios, with an investment of up to 150 million US dollars, and it was directed by Dunn himself, we can't back down. , which will not only make fans questioned, but also affect the director's flourishing image."
The crowd nodded.
This is indeed the case, whether it is Dunn Pictures or Marvel Pictures, in the initial stage, the real core is only Dunn, who is the biggest source of fans' confidence.
In any case, it can't have a bad influence on Dunn's image.
"I know that the movie "Spider-Man" has a huge debt, so the box office must be successful, and Bill and Grant are right about this." Kevin Feige's position is very low, and he obviously doesn't want to offend the big shots.
Tang En frowned, dissatisfied with his answer, and stared at him tightly, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Kevin Feige met Dunn's gaze and answered calmly, "Cold treatment."
"Cold treatment?"
"That's right! The confidence of moviegoers can't be lost, and the box office of the movie can't be less. The best way is to deal with it coldly and wait for it to change."
Dunn understood and laughed, "Kevin, it seems that you are very confident in "Spider-Man"."
Kevin Feige's expression was firm, "I firmly believe that neither "Titans a.e." nor "Sixty Seconds" will have an impact on the box office of "Spider-Man"."
Bill McNick, who has been less confident in superhero movies, frowned, "It's too risky!"
Nina Jacobson said: "I think Kevin is right. Titans a.e. invested 75 million, "Sixty Seconds" invested 90 million, but "Spider-Man"? We invested 150 million US dollars We are not afraid of any opponents without looking at the content, just in terms of cost.”
Andrew O'Hair found that Dunn was looking at him, and also stated: "The Dunn Films had previously produced "My Great Greek Wedding", and met the snipers of "Blade Warrior" and "Rush Hour", and "Wedding Shocker" also had The "Sixth Sense" is suppressed, but what is the result? We have won many battles! I have confidence in "Spider-Man"!"
Bill McNick and Grant Hill looked at each other with a surprised expression.
Where did Dunn find a group of executives?
Just a bunch of lunatics!
The box office market of movies~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is difficult for anyone to predict. Among the huge risks, even the six major film companies must find ways to avoid them.
But Tang En and his subordinates... seem to have never known the risks, they are a group of lunatics who bravely push forward.
"Spider-Man" is indeed a super blockbuster, and even if it is in the same schedule as "Titan a.e." and "Sixty Seconds", it has a high probability of success.
There is always a risk of failure.
As the decision maker of the company, shouldn't we do our best to minimize the chance of failure?
The company's interests come first!
Dunn understands Bill McNick's mind. He used to work under the supervision of the board of directors. The way he works is that he would rather earn less than lose money.
But Tang En Films is different. Tang En has absolute confidence in himself, and he will never let go of the money that belongs to him!
"My movie, there is no risk!"
Tang En stood up from the sofa and waved his hand, directly setting the tone for today's discussion.
"I know the plans of Disney and Fox. They must be sure that we are facing a debt crisis and dare not take the risk of "Spider-Man" to teach us a lesson. However, they made the wrong calculation!"
"Spider-Man is Spider-Man! Without Disney and Fox, the box office would be a big hit; with Disney and Fox, it would be a big hit!"
"Don't they want to suppress us? Okay, then let's have a serious game! I want to see it. With the two bad movies "Titan a.e." and "Sixty Seconds", you can give it to me What impact did the movie have!"
