Chapter 787 The New Gold Rush Era

Igreat’s massive US$25 billion equity awards program’s hot media has directly led to a surge in both personal computer sales and Internet user access worldwide these days. The Wall Street Journal’s February 20 An article puts forward the concept of a'new gold rush era'.

Because not only many employees of Igret will become rich with this new technology company's IPO, but also more and more entrepreneurs in the Internet field start to get rich overnight.

In the process of the “Information Age” marketing plan at the end of last year, the Westeros system has focused on publicizing many cases of relying on the Internet industry to earn huge net worth. The recent discussion on the Igreat’s equity award plan has once again led to many Internet areas. Inspirational story from scratch.

Among them, an ordinary restaurant chef in the US headquarters in Iowa, with only a few basic computer knowledge, through more than a year of self-study, using the full set of basic tool software and easy-to-use data launched by Igreat. The central service, the food sharing website created in leisure time, has welcomed a large number of users. Recently, it has obtained a huge financing of up to 15 million US dollars in a Silicon Valley venture capital with a 20% stake. The website is valued at 75 million US dollars.

This middle-aged man in his forties, who had an annual salary of only 50,000 US dollars, thought that his life would be unknown. In a blink of an eye, his net worth jumped to 60 million US dollars.

Similar cases are definitely more than this one.

Therefore, while proposing the concept of'new gold rush era' in the article of The Wall Street Journal, it further commented that this is a new round of wealth redistribution that was initiated without violence and without plunder. The threshold is also very friendly to ordinary people, just like anyone can flock to the gold rush in San Francisco, as long as you have a computer connected to the Internet, you have the opportunity to create a miracle of wealth.

This kind of news is good for stimulating the development of the Internet industry or diverting outside attention to Igret’s large-scale employee shareholding plan, and the Westeros system soon began to boost it.

Simon and two Jenny returned to the west coast from Florida on February 20.

Immediately following was Simon's 27th birthday.

A very low-key party was spent, and only invited some people who were close. A lot of gifts were collected. Many of them came from women around me. Janet did not jealous this time to make these gifts disappear, but spared Open the inspection with interest and comment one by one.

The production of that "Young and Beautiful" continues.

Encouraged by Janet, he intends to release it publicly, and will also secretly collect another piece of pure music that was also being produced in "The Last Day of Bach" and the female assistant. Simon has changed from "Overture of the Dead" to "Blizzard" for a long time.

I didn't want to make more money.

So decided to publish directly on the Internet, and in the form of MV.

For Shul Higgina's "The Last Day of Bach" with a woman's solo as the MV, the other two songs, but it is impossible to make two Jenny appear.

Simon quickly thought of a good idea.

Mixed video editing.

This is a common splicing and editing mode for many video sites in memory. According to the tone of a song, various shots are selected from many videos as MV, which is very popular.

At this stage, because the Internet has just become widespread, movie piracy is not so widespread, and video sites are beyond discussion, so few people can see wonderful video mixing.

However, all these questions at this time are not a problem for Simon.

Simon not only owns the copyright of thousands of film and television dramas accumulated by Daenerys Entertainment Group, but, if necessary, borrows footage from other studios, and obviously no one will refuse.

Of course, Simon also does not plan to have fertilizer water flow into outsiders' fields.

Even if I don’t say a long-term copyright reserve, it’s just that Daenerys Entertainment has produced videos such as these,

Simon quickly finalized the plan.

The first "Young and Beautiful" features beautiful shots of famous Hollywood actresses.

However, in order to avoid editing all the actresses related to him, Simon intends to start with the actresses of the Hollywood Golden Age, Vivien Leigh, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, etc. , Until the last few years, and all of the plans to capture are the most classic shots, and as far as possible to Daenerys entertainment and related MGM or at most one more Warner.

After all, after the mixed cut, it is likely to drive a wave of videos related to MV lenses.

Even if you don’t plan to make money directly from this song, you can’t let this peripheral good go.

In another "Blizzard", Simon intends to make a mixed shot of the DC movie universe, from the original "Batman: The War Time" to the recent "Suicide Squad", the tune of "Blizzard" itself and the DC movie universe series The epic temperament fits well, and it happens to be a warm-up for Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice at the end of this year.

Immediately after Simon’s 27th birthday, February 24th, the long-awaited "This Man From Earth" was released.Because it is the unpopular period at the end of February, there are no other high-quality movies, and all major theaters are happy to launch this movie. Gaomen Pictures has obtained 3107 open screens at one time.

Before again, the main action movie "Broken Arrow" by John Travolta directed by the white pigeon Wu released on the Valentine's Day schedule has been released for two weeks.

The word-of-mouth of the film disappointed Simon. The overall score was only 5.3, and the pass failed.

Fortunately, with the announcement of Daenerys Entertainment as a compensation, watching movies on the Valentine's Day period is also a kind of just need. As the only blockbuster on the Valentine's Day period, the unique violent aesthetic style of White Pigeon Wu can also be regarded as a North American audience. At the moment, the film opened with a screen size of 2638 screens. From the first box office week from February 10th to February 16th, it received $24.53 million in seven days, and the single-week pavilion exceeded $9300.

Subsequently, in the second box office week from February 17 to February 23, although Valentine's Day passed, there was still no competition, and the film's drop in the next week remained fairly good at 27%, with a total of 17.86 million US dollars.The cumulative box office for two weeks was $42.39 million, which is still about $8 million away from the production cost line of $50 million.

Considering that the box office week film, which opened on February 24, will be hit by "This Man From Earth", Daenerys Film's announcement team predicts that the total box office of the film in North America will be about 70 million US dollars.According to the overseas opening of the same period, the total overseas box office is roughly the same as that of North America, and the global total box office is about 150 million US dollars.

The production cost of 50 million US dollars, three times the box office in the world, happens to be the cost recovery.

If it is other second- and third-tier film companies, it will definitely be more sad in the face of this situation, because small studios usually have a very large amount of funds and rely heavily on box office revenue. Once the box office loses, they often cannot wait for the later video tapes and TV. Broadcast revenue may be in trouble.

Behemoths like Daenerys Entertainment Group have no such problems.

Because the body is large enough, perfect omni-channel operation has formed sustainability, which can not only keep as much profit as possible within the omni-channel scope of a movie in the studio itself, but also completely get rid of its films. Since the box office.

All in all, relying on the box office has recovered the cost, and later directly entered the profit stage, this project is a success for Daenerys Entertainment.

In fact, with the advent of the Hollywood blockbuster era, it is difficult for more and more film companies to return directly from the box office. Most of them have to rely on peripheral channels. This is also the second and third line of Hollywood film companies. The reason, even one or two occasional successes, such as the Lion's Gate Summit in Simon's memory, etc., will be quickly silenced because of the lack of omnichannel support and the inability to form a cycle.

After the official release on February 24, as during the Park City screening, "This Man From Earth" is still full of controversy. People who like it very much like disgusting people who are disappointed.

However, compared to "Broken Arrow" which didn't even reach the passing score two weeks ago, "This Man From Earth" is still mostly recognized, with a comprehensive supporting score of 8.2, which is already an excellent level, just because the movie is written by Simon himself. It is not a change like the DC Film Universe project. The personal orientation is very strong, so it will attract controversy. For a time, not only the United States, all overseas markets that started painting in the same period, countless media are talking about "This man is from the earth." .

Nature inevitably extends to Simon himself again.

The immortal who survived 14,000 years, is this what Simon Westero is suggesting?Just like "Sixth Sense of Insane" in previous years.

Because of this suspicion, some people even began to be interested in Simon's'biological samples' in private.

A waitress from the family quickly reported quietly that someone offered $100,000 for a hair from Simon.

After the death of Doris Fitcher, the Westeros' loyalty to the maid and bodyguards around him was even stricter. Doris Fetcher was directly used as a counter-example in the training phase, or, directly Point, threat.At the same time, it promised that when someone tried to penetrate the Westeros through them, they would receive corresponding rewards if they reported in time.

Simon was not stingy at all.

Because of these measures, from the Doris Ficher incident last year to the present, at least under the close monitoring of the Westeros family intelligence team, no betrayal incidents were found. Once there was a situation, all were reported in time and quietly Several "fishing" tests were also conducted, and the test subjects involved passed the test. Simon did not tell these people the truth, but directly and generously distributed a reward.

This time, I can only say that Simon was a little crying and laughing.

100,000 US dollars, which is too small to see the loyalty of the Weijia maid’s team, and if some software directly contacts Simon, he is quite willing to sell himself. He usually cuts his hair and cuts it in accordance with a 10 Ten thousand dollars, even for Simon himself, is a huge sum of money.

In fact, after so many years, Simon believes that his'biological samples' must have been carefully studied by many secret laboratories, even he has done so himself.The conclusion reached is that Simon's personal physique is indeed beyond ordinary people, but it is far from the level of superhuman, completely within the scope of human physiology.

Such episodes are only used by Simon as a joke in private, and even the pursuit of the victim is too lazy to do.

On the other side, under the strong topic degree, in this unpopular period at the end of February, the North American film market ushered in an unexpected upsurge.

From February 24 to the first week of March 2, the seven-day drawing of "This Man from the Earth" finally reached $76.19 million, and the museums were up to $24,000, which is completely a bombshell-level drawing.

The entire Hollywood can only express envy.

There is not even the possibility of following the trend.

Because of the success of this film, Simon’s own strong popularity halo. Other studios may be able to produce a similar story. However, the lack of heat from Simon Westero can only make a small profit. A stroke.

The Gaomen Film Propaganda Team had previously expected that "This Man from the Earth" would have a very high opening score, but it did not anticipate that it would exceed 70 million US dollars in the first week.

You know, the production cost of the film is only 1.5 million US dollars.

Because of its own strong topical hotspot, the investment budget of Gaomen Film Industry is only 10 million US dollars, a large part of which is still the back cost of 3107 open screens. The main publicity is just to let a number of main creators log in one after another. Late night show shows and print posters in theaters.

And as Ella Doichman said to Simon at the beginning, it is used for various public relations to avoid spoilers.

The most expensive TV commercials are useless.

This is mainly because it is difficult to cut out a trailer that is neither spoiler-attractive nor appealing to the audience. This is simply not the case.

In this case, it was still an unpopular period at the end of February. The box office in the first week of painting was able to reach $76.19 million, setting the highest record for a Hollywood movie in February. It can only be described as a miracle.

Shocked by "This Man From Earth", the third week of "Broken Arrow" expanded its single-week decline to 43%%, with a receipt of 10.17 million US dollars and a cumulative box office of 52.56 million US dollars, which is considered to be in the Daenerys film team As expected, of course, the single-week box office fell into the 10 million range, and whether it can continue to account for 20 million in the future, also depends on whether the fourth week of "Broken Arrow" has narrowed again.

Subsequently, another box office week opened on March 3, because the box office of the first week of "This Man From Earth" exploded. Many viewers who had not entered the theater because of the controversy of this movie will inevitably have a strong curiosity. After all, choose to buy tickets to enter the venue.

The result is that from March 3 to March 9, the following week of the release, "This Man From Earth" not only did not fall as much as many media expected, but only 26%, the single-week box office was still as high as $56.37 million. The cumulative total of $13.256 million at the box office in two weeks exceeded the trend of many blockbuster movies.

According to this trend, it will be very easy for the total box office in North America of this man from the earth to exceed 200 million. Even the threshold of 300 million US dollars is not impossible to sprint.
