Welcome to the latest chapter of Hunting Hollywood 2k Novel Network!This site's domain name: "2knovel" complete pinyin, easy to remember!Good-looking novels are highly recommended: the butterfly effect is a thought of the legend of the eternal dragon king, the ancient god Wang Wulian, the peak of the five elements, the door of the heavenly realm, the choice of the day. The group approached the acquisition of equity in Blackstone Financial Management Company.

Busy, Thursday is coming soon.

Blockbuster chose to list on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, Simon and Janet got up at seven o'clock and rushed directly to Midtown, Blockbuster chairman and ceo Wayne Huezhanga and Daenerys Entertainment. Amy and others have arrived.

Everyone hurriedly ate breakfast and came to the Nasdaq Exchange Hall on 42nd Street, which was already overcrowded.

In addition to the management of the two companies Daenerys and Blockbuster, today also invited Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese, Diane Keaton and other big movie filmmakers to come to help.

If other companies want to do this, an expensive appearance fee is definitely indispensable, and it is not necessarily available, but for Daenerys Entertainment, it can be solved with just a few calls.Because all the filmmakers who live in New York are invited, and even the tolls do not need to be paid.

Simon's attendance is also of a helping nature.

At eight o'clock, with Janet showing her face in front of the media, the two temporarily hid in the lounge above the exchange waiting for the bell-ringing ceremony.

Robert De Niro and others also arrived one after another.

Simon also met Catherine Bigelow who had not met for a while.

After "The Thunderbolt", Catherine lived in New York most of the time.

Simon could feel that the woman was obviously deliberately alienating her relationship with herself, and he did not force it.Catherine has always been a very independent personality and cannot be a vassal of someone. Simon does not want Catherine to be her vassal.

"This is a remake project of a 1962 old film called "Horror Horn", which tells the story of a convicted criminal retaliating against the judge and lawyer who sent him to prison. Spielberg started early I started the script adaptation work for this project, but I didn't shoot it. He recently asked Martin and I if I was interested in taking over. Martin had seen the script written by Steve and felt bad, so he was still hesitating."

In the lounge.

Simon and De Niro sat on the sofa talking about the latest things.

Martin Scorsese has been looking for his next new film while taking care of the late period of "Good Guy". De Ni Roma is about to enter the group to start a biographical film "The Silent Question", which is expected to be released at the end of the year. Two large screen works that still maintain relatively high production.

The "horn of horror" we are talking about now can only be counted as next year's project.

The box office of "Horror Horn" in memory is very good, but since this is Spielberg's project, Simon does not intend to intervene.

Of course, if "Horror Horn" is cast by Universal as in the original time and space, and Simon can successfully win Universal this year, this movie still belongs to his own hands.

Amy and James have been paying close attention to the trend of mca recently. Simon’s plan is to find a suitable time to formally initiate an acquisition offer to mca after the establishment of Cersei Capital’s M&A business team. Such a business can just help Cersei Capital’s M&A Business team opens the situation.

After chatting with De Niro and others for a while, Simon got up and came to Janet and Catherine who were hiding next to them.

New York in January is the coldest time of the year. When entering the room, everyone took off their thick coats. Catherine wore a black turtleneck sweater and was leaned against Janet by a white sweater. Around me, there is a little more sense of cp.

This is a three-seater sofa, Catherine next to the armrest,

Seeing Simon coming, Janet, who was originally wrapped around Catherine, immediately moved to the other side and gave Simon the middle position.

Simon also sat down politely, seeing Catherine moved slightly to the side, so she leaned on the woman's side deliberately. Naturally, she was thrown away.

Janet approached with a smile, lying on Simon's shoulder and crossing the man to Catherine: "Look, it's still such a bastard."

Simon pretended to be dissatisfied: "Should you avoid the client when you say so?"

Janet pouted: "Just let you hear."

Catherine smiled and watched the two fighting, saying, "I saw that you are fighting with people in Melbourne. Don't look like this in the future, you will be injured."

Simon nodded and asked, "How is the preparation for your new film, do you need my help?"

Catherine's new film is called "Thrill Point" and is roughly counted as a gangster film.

Simon has some impressions of this film, one of Keanu Reeves’ early works, and the lead actor Patrick Weitz in The End of the Ghost. The movie’s surfing and skydiving action scenes are very classic, although the expression Of anarchist views are not liked by mainstream critics, but they are very successful commercially, and they have a group of very die-hard fans.

Until many years later, Hollywood actress Meghan Fox, who became famous with "Transformers", named her son Bodie, Bodhi (Bodhi), Chinese The corresponding word in is'Bodhi'.

Catherine heard Simon's casual inquiry, and looked at the little man beside her with a smile: "Warner has officially started the project, and Keanu and Patrick also agreed to participate in the show, and will probably start shooting in the second half of the year."

The cost of "Thrill Point" is expected to exceed US$20 million, which is already a big production for Catherine.

Hollywood’s prejudice against female directors is entrenched. Without Simon’s connection, Warner would not be able to agree to invest so readily, and the original Keanu Reeves and Patrick Wise will not necessarily agree to participate in the show.

Catherine knew everything about it.

Everyone was chatting, and the time soon came to 9:15, the staff came in to inform that the bell-ringing ceremony was about to begin, and everyone got up and left the lounge.

The exchange is already overcrowded.

Simon and others appeared on the stage, and the flash in the hall immediately flashed again crazy.

After Wayne Huyzanga made a speech, everyone gathered at the operation desk and pressed the trading button together. The bell-ringing ceremony was considered completed.

The next step is the inquiry stage before opening.

Because the demand for subscriptions during the roadshow was very strong, compared to the underwriter’s initial recommended price of $13 to $15, Blockbuster’s issue price was finally determined to be $17, 15 million new shares were issued, and funds raised were $255 million.

255 million US dollars, which is enough for BesTV to expand its funding requirements in the coming year.

Therefore, shareholders and management unanimously rejected the underwriter’s proposal to increase the issuance.

In the first round of inquiry, the quotation jumped directly to the range of 17.5 to 18.5 USD.

After completing his platform task, Simon and his party left temporarily, and there was a celebration party at noon. Today's guests can decide whether to attend according to their own arrangements.

Simon is definitely going to attend the noon reception, but there are still some things that need to return to the fifth avenue apartment before that.

Catherine was about to leave, but was brought home by Janet Strong.

There are already some people waiting here, staff from a genetic research institute in the UK.

It's very simple.

After collecting blood samples from Simon and Janet, several staff members confirmed to Simon again that they hurriedly left and flew back to the UK.

Catherine looked at it all but felt confused.

Janet leaned into her ear and whispered a few words to explain to the woman.

Then, remembering that Simon and Janet were about to get married, there was still some sourness in my heart.

Inside the Nasdaq Exchange Hall.

After three consecutive rounds of bidding for an hour, Blockbuster's opening price was finally confirmed at $19.50.

Subsequently, the official transaction began and the stock price immediately broke the $20 mark.

At the noon celebration party, Blockbuster's share price has exceeded $23, and trading in the afternoon is still very active.

As of the end of Thursday's trading day, Blockbuster's stock price was finally fixed at 26.5 US dollars, compared with the issue price of 17 US dollars, a 56% increase in one day, the total market value reached 2.199 billion US dollars.

Because of participating in the subscription of this new share issue, Daenerys Entertainment's shareholding in Blockbuster remains at 35%.

After the two investments, the company's total expenditure was about 210 million US dollars.

As of the close of the day, Daenerys Entertainment's $210 million investment has increased to $770 million, with a return of more than 300% in just one year.In fact, the reason why Blockbuster's stock price can soar on the first day of listing is mainly due to the great success of Daenerys Entertainment in this investment.

The huge book profit of Daenerys Entertainment has stimulated investors' buying enthusiasm and the market's pursuit, which in turn has made Daenerys Entertainment's investment more successful.

After the new shares are listed, the major shareholders and management of the listed company are in accordance with the usual practice to enter a period of silence.

However, this will not hinder the normal operation of Blockbuster.

On the second day of listing, Best TV announced that it would acquire the East Coast Baltimore-based Errol video chain company. Compared to Best TV, which already has more than 1,200 chain stores across North America, Errol is only in the east. There are 250 chain stores in several states such as New York State and Washington State on the coast.

The final purchase price of the two parties was 40 million US dollars, which was traded in the form of cash plus stocks, and Blockbuster will also bear Errol's debt.

This deal has been under negotiation during the Blockbuster ipo, and the official announcement of the news on the second day of listing is also a good thing.

After completing this transaction, BesStar will have more than 1,500 chain stores. Although the market share is still less than 20%, it is also the largest video rental chain store in North America.

According to the announcement of the acquisition of Errol, Blockbuster's stock price on Friday also rose slightly again as expected, breaking through $28 at the close of Friday.

Upon successful completion of ipo, Blockbuster will also start expansion in overseas markets.

On the other side, Blackstone Group received an offer from Cersei Capital to acquire Blackstone Financial Management Company led by Lawrence Fink, and initially expressed its refusal directly.

Although there is a discord between Steve Schwarzman and Lawrence Fink of Blackstone Group, the performance of Blackstone Financial Management Company has been very good since its establishment. Blackstone Group is not willing to let go of this subsidiary which is in the stage of rapid growth.

Schwarzman barely compromised until Lawrence Fink threatened to lead the entire team to run away collectively, but the lion still reported the price of $200 million.

Blackstone Financial Management's revenue last year was $33 million, and the net income before tax attributable to shareholders was about $7 million.

Because of the debt crisis in the second half of last year, even most of the financial companies listed on Wall Street have a recent price-earnings ratio of only a dozen times.Blackstone Group's offer of 200 million US dollars to Blackstone Financial Management Company is equivalent to a price-earnings ratio of nearly 30 times, and Cersei Capital is naturally impossible to accept.

Ending the BesTV, Janet stayed in New York to continue negotiations with Blackstone Group on acquisitions and preparations for other departments of Cersei Capital. Simon returned to Los Angeles with Amy and others on the weekend.

Daenerys Entertainment, from January 12 to January 18, the box office of "Batman: Moment of War" still fell 31%, and received another $41.06 million.However, four weeks after its release, the cumulative box office of the film quickly rushed to $27.175 million.

At the same time, on January 19, Daenerys Entertainment’s first new film released in 1990 was officially released, called "I Want to Go Home."

This is a film that Elado Ichman bought from the Venice Film Festival last year. At that time, a total of three films were selected. Only one was finally negotiated.

"I'm Going Home" starred by the famous French actor Gerald Pardieu, who has nominated and awarded more than 10 Caesar Awards, tells about the funny things that happened when an American cartoonist with a strange temperament led his wife to travel to Paris, like Like "The Fish Named Wanda", which used the differences between British and American cultures, "I Want to Go Home" ridiculed the differences between British and French cultures.

However, since it was put in January, Gaomen Films obviously did not expect much from the box office of this movie, and the number of screens opened was only 523, which is regarded as a work to fill the distribution schedule.

The focus of Daenerys Entertainment's recent announcement is still "Wind Moon Beauty" in February.

The film's confirmed release date is February 9, the week of Valentine's Day.

The management was not very optimistic about this project, which was adapted from the black drama to tell the love story of the call girl and the financier, but the final result of the film was very good.If it weren’t for Daenerys Entertainment’s film distribution plan for the whole year of this year, it would even consider changing to a more popular schedule.

Speaking of which, Daenerys Entertainment’s film release list has been determined for the entire year of 1990, and according to the release time, they are "I want to go home", "Fengyue pretty girl", "crazy fat treasure variety show", "Children in the Cornfield 2", "Human and Ghost Love Is Coming", "Ninja Turtles", "Ghost Hunting", "Journey to Heaven", "Angel and Me at the Same Table", "Dancing with Wolf", "Intersection of Life" and "Home Alone".

In addition to the batch of movies released by the company, there are four other works in the last 10 film plans, namely "Sleeping with the Enemy" in cooperation with Fox, "The Hand Shaking the Cradle" in cooperation with Disney, and cooperation with Universal Pictures The Ten Days of Dangerous Love and the "Red Pink Alliance" in cooperation with Columbia Pictures.

A total of 16 films, the size of the release last year.

Simon's main job this time when he returned to Los Angeles was to sort out these 16 films in various stages of production and distribution, and to confirm some of the 1991 projects in advance.

According to the plan, Pixar will launch its first 3D animated movie "Toy Story" by the end of 1991, and the last "Scream 3" of the "Scream" series is also scheduled for next year, in addition to Madonna 'S music documentary and foreign cooperation's "Destiny", "Terminator 2" and other movies.

But these are obviously not enough.

Fortunately, with the continuous expansion of Daenerys Entertainment, the company, like other Hollywood studios, has a batch of projects that can be found at any time, and a large number of independent Hollywood producers are very much looking forward to working with Daenerys. Entertainment cooperation, the projects in this part of the people are more abundant.2k fiction reading network
