Chapter 288: "Blair the Witch" released
, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!
Soon after Starship Technology was established.
Zhang Wei and Anna Josephine met Zhu Ke together again. A further report was made to Zhu Ke on the three stocks of Microsoft, Yahoo and Cisco held by Zhu Ke.
"Leave aside other things, I just want to know that Marvel's Sal Polmat and Aviarad are not interested in these shares?" Zhuke interrupted with a wave of his hand.
For Marvel's shares and controlling rights, Zhu Ke is bound to win!
Zhang Wei and Anna looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Boss, it's very difficult." Zhang Wei spoke first.
"What about it?" Zhu Ke said solemnly.
Zhang Wei pondered for a few seconds and said, "Boss, you should remember Ronald Perelman, right?"
Of course Zhuke knew him.
"A very cunning guy, and very good at hype." Zhu Ke disdainfully said.
Ronald Perelman, the former chairman of Marvel, a master of capital speculation.
In early 1989, he spent 82.5 million US dollars to acquire Marvel and became the largest shareholder. Subsequently, he used cunning marketing methods to declare that "Marvel comic books have collection value", prompting many fans to buy a large number of comic books, and in just two years, he listed Marvel and successfully completed the money-making behavior in the stock market. .
However... a lie is a lie after all.
Sudden change in the market!
The value of comic collections dropped rapidly, and the "comic collection bubble" burst!
The entire comic industry has ushered in a cold winter!
Marvel was the first to bear the brunt, with its stock price plummeting and on the verge of bankruptcy several times.
However, Ronald Perelman, the chairman of Marvel, took the opportunity to emptied Marvel's heritage and started a crazy sale!
In just a few years, he relied on Marvel to make at least 500 million US dollars!
In the original words of Marvel's former shareholder Icahn: "Perelman is like a plumber helping you fix your water pipes. He not only completely ruins your house, but also wants to take your house away without paying a penny. "
...
"Boss, a capitalist like Perelman, was driven out of Marvel by Sal Polmat and Aviearad, and even the former second shareholder Icahn also stepped down. There are too many things involved in this." Zhang Wei smiled bitterly.
Zhu Ke suddenly realized.
Anna added: "Boss, you are planning to complete the acquisition of Marvel before the release of "Spider-Man" and Fox's "X-Men"; Waiting for the release of "Spider-Man."
Hearing this, Zhuke suddenly laughed.
It's true that Zhuke is smart, but Sal Polmat and Aviarad are not fools either.
On the contrary, they are extremely smart!
Otherwise, they would not be able to drive Perelman out of Marvel.
In fact, Sal Polmat and Avi Allard had a discussion when they learned that Zhuke wanted to acquire Marvel.
"Can't sell!"
"Even if Marvel is going to sell it eventually, it can't be sold now."
"We have to wait until "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" are released. As long as they can achieve good results and high box office like "Blade Warriors", then our Marvel stock price will inevitably soar. It’s in our hands."
"At that time, even if you sell Marvel, you will definitely be able to sell a high price, far exceeding the current price!"
After the discussion, Sal Polmat and Aviaard set the tone.
What can Zhuke do?
There are no good people in Hollywood!
Everyone is a cunning and cunning fox, and they are all good at singing Liao Zhai!
"Boom boom boom~!"
Zhuke was meditating, tapping the table with his fingers repeatedly.
"Zhang Wei, Anna, I decided to temporarily abandon Marvel's acquisition plan." Zhu Ke decided.
"Yes, boss."
Is Zhu Ke really willing to give up Marvel?
How can it be? !
"Since normal commercial means cannot achieve the purpose of the acquisition, then I don't mind using capital means to complete it." Zhu Ke thought to himself.
That's right, Zhuke still has some confidence in the acquisition of Marvel.
Marvel owes a lot of debt to the bank.
As long as Zhuke fixes the bank, breaks Marvel's capital chain, and obtains the equity and copyright of Marvel's mortgage from the bank, he can forcibly complete the acquisition.
Of course, this will take time.
It can't be done overnight!
......
Time passed slowly.
In a blink of an eye, it was already early July.
During this time, Zhu Ke had a lot of free time. Victor and others were responsible for the specific work of the company, while Zhu Ke himself wandered around.
Wandering through the four crews of "Spider-Man", "Harry Potter", "Reaper is Coming", and "Butterfly Effect", I had a detailed chat with the directors, producers and leading actors of the crew.
Even so leisurely, Zhuke still feels exhausted.
"Too Nima tired~"
"The company under my name is only so small and has a large number of assistants. It is so exhausting. I can't believe how hard the bosses of those giant companies are!"
They wake up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, do more than cows, and eat less than rats. Not only do they work all year round, work abnormally, and they may die suddenly.
Diligent entrepreneurs and capitalists are not easy to do!
Zhu Ke doesn't want to be such a person!
Nima is too tired!
"I'm actually like a salted fish!"
Have the greatest power, sleep the most beautiful girl, eat the best food, drink the strongest wine, live in the most luxurious house, listen to the most moving music, enjoy the most beautiful scenery...
The life of a fairy is desirable!
But it has a major premise, that is, it must have enough capital and confidence for Zhuke to squander!
Therefore, Zhu Ke's career must continue to move upward at present! go ahead! Moving forward~!
Tuesday, July 6, 1999.
sunny.
The low-key DV film "Blair the Witch", which has been low-key for a long time and has a production cost of only 60,000 US dollars, was released low-key in 29 theaters across the United States.
"I heard that this is the true story of a witch killing people."
"I saw it from the Internet. It is said that how many people are missing, but they don't know whether they are true or not?"
"It must be true. It is said that the local people in the small town of Butzizeville all know about this, and even the local police station has a lot of records."
"Does witches really exist?"
"Hehe, what age is this, do you still believe this? What is the use of scientific knowledge!"
"George, I would rather believe it if it is not trusted or not~"
When Zhuke bought the film copyright of "Blair the Witch", he also bought the relevant propaganda website of Blair Witch from the director, which published many news about "Witch" in the United States since ancient times, as well as many cases of missing persons.
Although Wald Pictures did not invest much manpower and financial resources before the movie was released, some netizens still knew the news that the "Blair the Witch", a "top secret archive" and "real video", was shown in theaters.
They are naturally interested!
So ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ On the day of the release of "Blair the Witch", many people saw this "top secret archive" in 29 theaters.
However, the attendance rate is not high.
At the box office that day, it was only $24,000.
After learning the news, the executives of Artisan Entertainment couldn't help but sneered.
"I thought Wald Pictures could do it, but that's all!"
at the same time.
Harvey Weinstein of Miramax also laughed, "No wonder they dare not release it on a large scale. It turns out that the movie is too rubbish, and it is impossible for Zhuke Wald to be lucky forever."
Barry Meyer, the vice president of Warner Bros. Pictures, frowned and said, "It shouldn’t be! As far as I know about Zucker Wald, he wouldn’t do such an unwise thing. Is there anything else in it? Something? Is it possible that the "Blair the Witch", which is a headache, can be a big hit?"
"" The first update is sent.
