Chapter 151: Huh? Unknowingly 100 million US dollars
"Happy cooperation, Mr. DiCaprio!"
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Wald!"
Two days later, one morning, Xiao Lizi finally signed his name on the contract. From now on, he will officially become one of the image spokespersons of the chain stores around SpongeBob Squarepants House for a period of 5 years.
"Mr. DiCaprio, oh no, I'd better call you Leonardo, you don't mind." Zhuke said.
"Of course I don't mind."
Little plum smiled heartily, and then the haze behind the smile lingered, as Zhu Ke, who was familiar with Liao Zhai, of course saw it.
Everything is because of "Titanic"!
You must know that in order to make this film, he devoted himself to it for more than 3 years! Since his starring "Romeo and Juliet" was released in early 1995, he has not had a movie on the theater line.
For a little plum who has become famous since his youth in "The Troubles of Growing Up" in the early 1990s, he has since dropped his pay to participate in "Titanic" with a mere $300,000 in pay. This is definitely a big bet. Bet "Titanic" will make you go further!
However...
The cruel thing is that "Titanic" is not hot!
After the film won US$28.63 million in the box office on its first day, for two consecutive days thereafter, it has only won a box office of more than 10 million US dollars. Compared with its production cost of up to 200 million US dollars, it can be described as horrible.
Paramount and 20th Century Fox, looking at the box office results of a cliff-like decline, almost didn't vomit blood!
And yesterday, Murdoch, the boss of 20th Century Fox and a world-renowned media tycoon, attended a charity dinner organized by the Governor of California. He was surrounded by a group of reporters and asked him what he thought of the movie "Titanic."
View? !
"You ask me that big ship?"
Murdoch bluntly said: "Can I say Cameron is a bastard?!"
Well, Murdoch, who has a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, is also angry.
At this moment, Zhuke looked at Xiao Lizi and said: "Leonardo, the box office of "Titanic" is really not very good now, but who is sure that it will not rise? Dude, be confident, you are Jack, you are on the ship. The man who shouts that he is the king of the world!"
Little plum was happy on the spot.
The haze before him is even wiped out!
Because he suddenly thought that although he was miserable, Zhuke was even worse.
You must know that before the movie was released, when others were shunned, Zhu Ke rushed into it and invested tens of millions of dollars.
Right now, it's probably going to be ridiculous!
This is the case with people. When you see others worse than yourself, your mood will be much better.
1.5 million dollars!
Yes, Xiao Lizi signed a 5-year endorsement contract with a total price of 1.5 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 300,000 US dollars per year!
This price is in line with the laws of the market, and it is in line with the current value of Xiao Lizi, even a little higher. After all, except for the ship, he hasn't released a new movie for several years. Of course, if it is signed when "Titanic" becomes popular all over the world, then the price will inevitably increase several times.
And at that time, Xiao Lizi might not have seen the image endorsement of SpongeBob House.
Zhuke, as a traverser, of course knows this!
In February 1998, the movie "Titanic" has become popular all over the world. German Mercedes-Benz and General Motors Chevrolet, the two brands in order to compete for the endorsement of Xiao Lizi, but almost broke their heads.
In the end, GM had to be more financially rich, and paid a full US$7.5 million to sign Xiaolizi for three years, but it was US$2.5 million every year!
The endorsement cost of GM on Xiao Lizi for only one year is much higher than the five-year contract signed by Zhu Ke and Xiao Lizi at a total price of 1.5 million US dollars!
Patek Philippe watches, Coca-Cola, Tiffany, Givenchy, American West Coast Insurance...
There are 17 full contracts.
Yes, in 1998, Xiao Lizi signed a total of nearly 20 endorsement contracts, the lowest price is also 700,000 US dollars a year, and the total price is as high as 80 million US dollars (a contract for several years).
It can be seen how popular Xiaoli was relying on his prosperous beauty!
"Oh my god, I'm such a clever ghost!"
Compared to earning billions of dollars in the stock market, Zhuke feels more fulfilling and more interesting about this kind of leakage.
"The richest man in the world, it is not my goal."
"My goal is Oracle's Larry Ellison. I don't want to be as rich as him, because I will definitely be richer than him in the future. I want to learn his life attitude. Luxurious villas, chariots, surrounded by beautiful women, Live a life of envy of others!"
"Amazon’s bald head, isn’t it the case. He digs and searches for the first half of his life and is reluctant to spend money. He is busy with work all day long. However, since 2015, his temperament has changed drastically, he began to enjoy life, divorced and constantly changed girlfriends. , The degree of luxury surpasses Larry Ellison."
For a while, Zhu Ke had a dream.
Ok?
"Since the little plum has been taken, wouldn't it be wonderful to take Kate Winslet and let Jack and Ruth become the spokesperson of SpongeBob SquarePants House together?"
...
Two days later.
Under the initiative of Taro Hashimoto, the new CEO of the chain stores around SpongeBob Squarepants House, Kate Winslet, who is still a small transparent at this moment, is very excited to sign the endorsement contract.
The total price is 1.2 million US dollars, and the contract is 8 years.
In fact, Zhu Ke also planned to sign a long-term endorsement agreement with Xiao Lizi for 8-15 years, but the shrewd Xiao Lizi did not nod.
The second best thing is to sign a five-year contract.
That is to say, from this moment on, the chain stores around the SpongeBob Squarepants house owned by Zucker have a total of 3 image spokespersons, namely Jack, Ruth, and Theron!
When shooting a new set of SpongeBob SquarePants House promotional posters recently, Theron said that he would sign a new endorsement contract with Zhu Ke.
For the sake of everyone being a good friend, of course Zhuke...rejected her unceremoniously!
"Friends belong to friends, business is business!"
This is the basic social rule spread in the United States~www.wuxiaspot.com~Zuke is not afraid of Theron's emotions. If even this is not acceptable, then this friend will not give up.
For example: Zhuke and James Sean are old mansions and good brothers, but he will not have his share in the granting of option dividends in the next year.
Why?
Because James did not make a particularly huge contribution!
At the same time, he is not irreplaceable among the companies under Zhuke. Therefore, options and dividends are nothing to do with him.
...
On this day at the end of 12, just after Christmas, Zach Schneider took the initiative to come to see Zhuke.
"Boss, can "Spartan 300" be launched? I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Hearing Zach's words, Zhuke immediately became happy.
How can ?
Of course he promised him, after all, Zhuke himself had already made a promise!
"You can sting, but you can't lose your integrity."
This is a sentence that Zhuke often puts on his lips.
...
Time is passing slowly.
In a blink of an eye, it has entered mid-January, and Hollywood is still as calm as usual.
But!
But "Titanic", which was sentenced to death by the media and major film critics long ago, has once again entered the eyes of everyone.
"My God, the box office of "Titanic" has exceeded 100 million in North America?!" A representative of the theater exclaimed.
At the same time, the major media, major film and television companies, film critics, and movie audiences suddenly discovered the strange performance of "Titanic"!
The first update of "" is sent.
