American Fortune Life

It was not until noon that Andy returned from a helicopter flight to his nest, the Little Versailles Palace, sitting in a luxurious living room, satisfied and in a relaxed mood for coffee, looking over at today's newspaper.

““ If the first weekend box office is less than 90 million, no sequel! ”Andy Smith. ”

“Incredible Iron Man! ”

“Interesting summer box office bomb. ”

“A trembling, highly innovative movie that gives people a pleasant feeling of watching, which is exactly what superhero movies currently lack! ”

Not only are the big newspapers covering the wonders of Iron Man, but even the harsh film critics are not stingy this time. The fact that 7,655 netizens on the IMDB site scored 8.4 points and a 94% positive rating on the rotten tomato site also confirms the position of this entertainment film in the eyes of the audience.

Not only did it win a reputation, but last night's premiere in North America was 4,105 cinemas, ranking ninth in film history. The premiere box office reached more than $30 million, and it should be easy to break $100 million in three days.

The same is true, with a production cost of about $150 million and a publicity cost of $75 million, Iron Man swept the box office for three days at the end of the week to become a well-deserved North American box office champion this weekend, rapidly burning down the summer box office slots, which also put a lot of pressure on the next 10 departments, many of which are famous sequels, are beginning to have headaches and "Iron Man", and the deep influence of Iron Man has just been revealed.

Undoubtedly, Iron Man, the first weekend of 2008, was a $100 million movie, and it arrived in time to sweep the shadows of North America's box office, ranking eighth among the first weekend box office revenues in film history with a $100 million opening.

With $96.75 million in overseas earnings over the current three-day weekend and $201 million in local earnings, Marvel, the first du Li film producer, enjoys a back-to-back performance with a three-day global box office of over 200 million.

Not only will the Iron Man sequel be released to the public soon, but it will also signify the use of thousands of other supercomic heroes under Marvel.

And once again, all media and Hollywood movie companies had to marvel at Andy Smith's golden genius brain, and Marvel's market capitalization soared again to $4 billion.

Of course, in order to maximize the digging of the box office, Andy's little Robert Downey, who turned the saltfish upside down, and Kate Beckinsale, the little chili who had been secretly treated for two days, began running across the United States.

Andy gave them the original saying, "Run down 100 promotions and the second one will give you an increase in your pay and ceiling! ”

After all, Andy set up a tough contract to prevent Robert Downey Jr. from going red, just like he did in his previous life. Don't say anything about gratitude or gratitude. It was all bullshit in front of the interests. In Iron Man 3, Donny not only took 50 million in film rewards but also dividends, he almost took control of the drama team.

While there are incremental clauses, how can JIAN fraud, like Andy, make other people cheap? Since he didn't pay Donny half a million dollars, which was obviously bullying, he naturally wouldn't accept Donny's idea of a starting price from his seat, but controllable is his favorite rhythm.

The success of Iron Man has taught the whole of Hollywood that Andy Smith is getting stronger and stronger here and is already a real Hollywood Big Man, so long as he can make money, there will naturally be a lot of people around.

Paramount's big boss called the first time he came out of the box office, chatting with Andy Gert to consolidate the relationship, and the other big ones hoping to split a spoon on Marvel's superhero.

The most eye-catching and ambitious undoubtedly wanted to be a giant Disney, and they tried to get in touch with Andy a long time ago, offering to acquire Marvel Group, but the test ingredients were huge, but seeing Marvel already lit to gold and flying away, Disney finally couldn't sit down.

Kevin Meyer, then Disney Chief Strategy Officer, expressed the importance of Marvel Group for Disney Boys' Market Development at Monday's board meeting in the presence of board members and CEOs of subsidiaries, hoping to get support to complete the acquisition of Marvel Group.

Only far away from San Francisco, Walter Disney's biggest individual shareholder, who could only attend the meeting by videoconference, Jobs, who held 7.7% of the shares, had a slightly thin face, winked those deep, intelligent eyes, touched a bearded beard, bowed his head, listened to the board members and cleared his voice.

“Andy Smith will not sell the Marvel Group... ”

Jobs' speech, immediately quieting Disney's board meeting, focused on the computer monitor, looked at Jobs in the video, and Disney CEO Robert Egger frowned, “Steve, what do you think? ”

“It should be only me and Andy Smith who are among the people sitting here, and this young man is indeed a genius, admirable both in strategic terms and in terms of hiring people, who can't be blinded by his age, let alone underestimated.

If you look at his data, it should be clear that he is building his own entertainment media empire. Apart from the fact that integration has not yet been completed and that there are still shortcomings in size, each piece of his industrial puzzle was not the best company in the industry at the beginning of the acquisition, even like Marvel Group is a difficult company to operate, but it was integrated into his hands and lived.

What he valued most was IP resources, because he wouldn't agree to sell Marvel because IP resources, although excellent, were imperfect, and there were flaws in his personality, such as possession of YU, control of YU, retaliation and so on. Guys, don't laugh. Doesn't it feel like a grown-up kid?

The problem is that even if everyone can't get used to him, there's nothing they can do about him, because he's too smart, like now, everyone feels Marvel is about to rise, but whoever wants to split a cup can only go to him, you know, the vast majority of his companies are his personal property, and he alone is in charge! ”

After listening to Jobs, as a good friend, Disney CEO Robert Egger glanced at him for a moment and said, "What if we still put him in the prototype entertainment media group as a whole? In exchange for shares, then give him a seat on the board. ”

“Oh, Robert, unless you all agree to give him the chairman of the board, he will only answer you with a nasty heh! His appetite for power is too great. What he likes is being able to follow through on his decisions. You can't satisfy him with his controllable power structure! ”

Jobs, who was bitten by Andy Pit's teeth, was very thorough about Andy Smith's personality research, after all, it was his opponents who knew him best when they ate Andy's big loss.

Hearing Steve's words, there was a loud noise in the conference room, how could they possibly tolerate a 24-year-old pointing fingers at them, every one trying to blow up a hairy old cat, Kiriwala started spraying water, rejecting the Marvel Group's proposal to merge.

Kevin Meyer, chief strategy officer, looked at the meeting and laughed, knowing that the acquisition of Marvel Group was over, even though it was the most important part of Disney's strategic layout.

Andy, who was in a meeting with a think tank from Washington to Los Angeles, naturally didn't know about Disney's board meeting because his problems were fired into a pot of porridge, and even if he did, he'd just say hey, smile and say they wanted to go blind.

He has basically completed the layout of the entertainment media group, all he needs is an integration. How could he agree to be merged and acquired by Disney to become a board member who doesn't count? He knows better than anyone how to be a JI head than a fengtao.

As for becoming Disney's biggest individual shareholder, it's possible to take over Disney, which Andy didn't even think about, first of all, it's impossible, and secondly, Disney's internal complexity, factionalism and struggle have never been interrupted. At Disney, board members have always been keen to succeed Disney CEO, and are highly alert to the harm that excessively long CEOs can do to the company.
