Chapter 168 Young and energetic, fooling around
In the first two years, Dian Mian's work focused on the films he shot, but now Dian Mian's focus has been on the company.
The work related to "Spider-Man" has been completely handed over to Marvel Pictures, and even the publicity work is not involved.
In fact, there is no need for his continued involvement.
Now Dunn's reputation is booming in North America, and he is definitely the best choice for this year's "hottest person".
His deeds in Hollywood and Wall Street, as long as the people who read the news, almost all pass it on by word of mouth, and his reputation is too great!
This has also led to his movie "Spider-Man" becoming the most anticipated movie in this box!
Now, "Mission Impossible 2" starring Tom Cruise has been released in North America for 9 days, and the North American box office is as high as 103 million US dollars. It is a popular movie.
However, compared with the yet-to-be-released "Spider-Man", the popularity is even worse.
Basically before we met, "Mission Impossible 2" has already fallen.
Now, the most bitter is naturally Fox and Disney. In order to sanction "Spider-Man", they also adjusted the schedule of summer blockbusters.
However, now, the name of "Spider-Man" appears overwhelmingly in various media. As long as Dunn is reported, "Spider-Man" will not be mentioned less.
Isn't it worth watching a director's fancy product worth 5 billion?
As for "Sixty Seconds" and "Titans a.e.", I'm sorry, even if there are movie stars like Nicolas Cage, Matt Damon, Drew Barrymore in these two movies, compared to Dunn's popularity , there is still a big gap.
Especially in June, the authoritative financial magazine "Forbes" announced the list of the world's richest people as of May 22, 2000!
Microsoft founder Bill Gates continues to top the list with a fortune of $60 billion; Oracle President Larry Ellison ranks second with a fortune of $47 billion; Warren Buffett ranks second with a fortune of $28 billion Three; Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen is also worth $28 billion, ranking fourth.
Then, the fifth is Saudi Prince Arsu, $20 billion;
The sixth is to control the Albrecht family of the Aldi supermarket chain in Germany, with 20 billion US dollars;
Seventh is Wal-Mart Chairman Robertson Walton, $20 billion;
The eighth is Masayoshi Son, an Asian investment tycoon and founder of SoftBank, with $19.4 billion;
The ninth is Michael Dell, founder of Dell, with $17.8 billion;
Tenth is Canadian media mogul Kenneth Thompson with $16.1 billion
The richest man in Chinese, Li, with a net worth of US$11.3 billion, ranks 22nd.
As for Dunn Walker, the total assets given by Forbes magazine is 6.3 billion US dollars, ranking 58th in the world!
In the ranking of the world's richest people under the age of 30, Dunn deserves to be ranked first; in the ranking of the richest people under the age of 40, Dunn still ranks in the top three!
Once this issue of "Forbes" magazine was announced, it seemed to add fuel to the fire, making Dunn's momentum expand, ferocious, and swell again!
The 20th Century Fox CEO's office was a mess, and the floor was littered with glass shards from smashed glasses.
Tom Rothman's face darkened like a dark cloud in the sky, staring viciously at West Cotton, the director of the distribution department, "Let me ask you a question, can the schedule of "Titan a.e." be changed?"
West Cotton said bitterly: "It's too late. There are only 20 days left until the scheduled date. We have even sent out the copy, and the theater has made all preparations before the release."
"Does that mean it can't be changed?"
"No!" West Cotton said firmly, and then sighed, "Tom, changing the schedule at this time will cause great trouble to the work of the theater chain, and will have to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages!"
Tom Rothman's teeth were sore with anger, and his legs under the desk were shaking slightly, "Do you want to watch our movie fall at the feet of that **** in Spider-Man?"
West Cotton sneered in his heart.
Originally, his scheduled schedule for "Titan a.e." was mid-July, which happened to avoid the sharp edge of "Spider-Man" in the first half of the month. But Tom Rothman's brain is like a convulsion. In order to breathe, he has to adjust the schedule abruptly, and he wants to fight with "Spider-Man".
Isn't this looking for death?
"Spider-Man" is Dunn's film, the investment is as high as 150 million US dollars!
What is Titan a.e.? Even Fox's marketing department is not optimistic!
This Tom Rothman, his own death is not enough, but he has to pull Disney, you want to tell the board of directors, do you have a good relationship with Disney?
Hehe, when Disney's "Sixty Seconds" fails at the box office under the impact of "Spider-Man", you will be unhappy at that time, let's see what you will do!
If you don't get it right, you will be in power at the beginning of the year, and you will have to step down at the end of the year!
"Speak, mute?" Tom Rothman slapped the table heavily, berating fiercely.
West Cotton frowned slightly, holding back his anger and said: "Boss, in any case, changing the schedule is not feasible. Disney's "Sixty Seconds of Speed", don't you recognize it by pinching your nose?"
"Then what do you think we should do now?" Tom Rothman stared at him closely.
West Cotton hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "I heard that "Spider-Man" has a full publicity fund of 100 million US dollars, and Dunn Walker is so famous now that it is impossible to fight against "Spider-Man" already."
It can be said that as long as the film "Spider-Man" is of acceptable quality, it will definitely explode at the box office by virtue of Universal's current publicity campaign and Dunn's influence.
"Are you talking nonsense?"
Tom Rothman is not stupid. Although he has a thousand or ten thousand unwillingness in his heart, he also knows that the general situation cannot be defied, and his siege against Dunn has completely failed.
His actions in the past two months have not only not damaged Tang En and Tang En Films in the slightest, but have contributed to the flames and boosted Tang En's momentum.
Backfired!
If it wasn't for the joint action of Fox and Disney, Dunn Walker's name was repeated in the media every day, Dunn would not have gained such a great reputation now.
It's like stealing chicken without losing rice!
Tom Rothman is very annoyed at his stupidity. He has ulcers in his mouth now. He has been to the doctor for three consecutive days. It seems that there is a fire in his heart.
West Cotton clenched his fists angrily and could only bite the bullet: "In the same schedule, three strong films were released, namely "Spider-Man", "Sixty Seconds" and "Titan a.e." Since the status of "Spider-Man" cannot be shaken, in order for our film to gain more filming rate and market share, we must grab the share of "Sixty Seconds"."
His words are quite satisfactory, and a leader of a normal distribution department should have some opinions.
But this moment touched Tom Rothman's inverse scale, slapped the table heavily, and became furious!
"Are you trying to kill me? You bastard, get out of here!"
Tom Rothman looks almost insane.
At this time, for the box office of "Titan a.e.", to suppress Disney's movie "Sixty Seconds of Speed", what is the difference between that and provocation?
He was the one who secretly arranged it and encouraged Disney to adjust the movie schedule. Seeing that the situation is not right now, he abandoned his allies. Do you want his face? Are you still hanging out in Hollywood?
Now, Tom Rothman has completely torn his face with Dunn Pictures, and indirectly has a rift with DreamWorks and Universal. If he falls out with Disney again, wouldn't 20th Century Fox be embarrassed on all sides?
He, the chairman of the board of directors and the chief executive officer, will take responsibility for the first light, and it is doomed to get out of bed.
At this time, we can only continue to maintain our friendship with Disney, and never provoke!
It's not in Fox's interest, it's in Tom Rothman's interest!
West Cotton sneered secretly, idiot!
Of course he understood what Tom Rothman was thinking, naive.
At this time, only competition can survive.
If Fox doesn't compete with Disney, will Disney not compete with Fox?
The investment of "Titan a.e." is only 75 million US dollars, because the marketing department is not optimistic, and the publicity funds are only 20 million US dollars.
But what about "Sixty Seconds"? The cost is 90 million US dollars, and the publicity cost is 60 million US dollars. With such a large investment, can Disney just let it go?
No wonder they say don't make a decision when you're angry, and now Dianchamu Rothman is simply brain-dead.
West Cotton shrugged indifferently and turned to leave.
Just listen to the office, there is a crisp cracking sound of a water glass, and an angry roar.
At this time, Tom Rothman's secretary carefully walked in with a new cup and whispered, "Boss~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Want to see the news? It's from Dunn Pictures."
"News, news from Pyrene! Um, wait, what did you say? Dunn Pictures?" Tom Rothman raised his eyebrows, and the sullenness on his face increased a little.
The secretary said timidly: "Yes, it's Dunn Pictures. They have reached a dozen strategic cooperation with Hasbro."
"Hasbro?" Tom Rothman was slightly taken aback. "Isn't that a toy company?"
"Yes, it's a toy company! I heard that Dunn Pictures seems to be interested in developing the copyright of Hasbro's toys. Now it's being broadcast live on TV, and the press conference is very popular."
In this era, the IP strategy has not yet emerged, even if Tom Rothman is well-informed, he is still not clear about Tang Endian Road.
Cooperate with a toy company to develop the film rights of the toy?
What a joke!
In the past few decades, it has always been based on Hollywood movies, with movie copyrights first, and then with surrounding industries, including toy companies, to develop the derivatives market.
Dunn does the opposite, which is too nondescript.
How risky is it to make a movie?
How difficult can it be to make a successful film that can drive a strong surrounding?
Therefore, Hollywood develops original stories that belong to Hollywood, so that the copyright income from the sale of props can reach as much as 80% or 90% of the total profit, so as to maximize the profit!
Can engage in toy copyright development, when the time comes, after a lot of hard work, the film is made, how much profit can the film company get? Twenty percent or three percent?
The original copyright is in the hands of Renjia Toys!
Tom Rothman sank a little, then snorted coldly: "Young and energetic, nonsense!"
