Hollywood legendary director

In the third week of the screening of "Bad Guy", with a single-day output of 14.23 million US dollars, it continued to win the North American weekly box office championship. This is also the third consecutive time that it has been at the top of the list.

It can only be said that there is really no strong competitor at this time, and it is very suitable for the play of the film.

After entering June, such as "There's No Hole in the Sky", "The World Is Infinite", these newly released movies are just a standard bad movie just by their names.

But next week will not be so lucky, because a new movie released by Walt Disney-the computer animation film "Finding Nemo" will be released.

This is a big money-making IP for later generations, and each one makes Disney earn a lot of money.

In other words, the production party Pixar Animation Studio is really amazing.

It can be said that it has promoted the production of computer three-dimensional animation with its own efforts, not only designed professional software, but also programmed a very complete special effects system.

And now their biggest shareholder behind the scenes, I believe everyone is not unfamiliar, is the current CEO of Apple Steve Jobs.

As early as 1986, he was sensitive to the acquisition of Pixar's predecessor, the computer animation department of Industrial Light and Magic, for $10 million.

Also in 1995, Disney released the world's first fully computer-produced animated feature film "Toy Story". The final film set a record in the American animation film industry with a box office of 192 million US dollars.Global harvest of 360 million US dollars.

As for "Toy Story 2", "Insect Crisis", "Monster Electric Company"... none of the animated films released one after another have been compensated, and they always refresh their box office history.

However, since the release of "Bad Guy", it has already received a box office of 276 million U.S. dollars, and the number of screenings in North America will slowly decline over time. This is quite a normal release cycle. After all, not every movie They are all "Titanic", the more they are shown, the more popular they are.

In accordance with this development momentum, and with the gradual decrease in the number of theaters, Paramount estimates that when the film is drawn in North America, it should exceed 300 million.

Overseas issuance is purely profitable. The popularity of the box office may not be as high as that in North America, but when so many ticket positions add up, it will not be much worse.

......

Los Angeles, Nicholas Cage's mansion.

Lyman is discussing something with him.

In other words, isn't "Bad Guy" earning a good box office. Although it hasn't been painted yet, it's natural to talk about splitting the accounts, but with predictable figures, Lehman is also thinking about buying a house-buy one in the United States The suite is used as a base for development.

No, he found Cage.

The real estate industry in the United States is also quite deep. Instead of looking for an intermediary company to choose a house if you are unfamiliar with the place, it is better to find someone close and experienced in this area.

It just so happened that Cage was on the way back to Los Angeles after the promotion ended. After hearing that he had this thought, he also took the initiative to ask Ying for reference.

"How did you think you were buying a house at this time?" Cage asked the butler to help pour two cups of coffee in the living room.

"Are you rich? You can feel at ease when you buy a suite here."

This is not Lehman's joke. He is actually quite insecure. To say that he has saved a lot of money for making movies in the past two years, but he has been reluctant to use it.

After all, when he wanted to come and buy a house, he would either not do it. If he wanted to do it, he would do a better job. It would be more comfortable to live by himself.

But foreign countries are no better than domestic ones. It does not mean that you can buy it once and for all. The subsequent annual maintenance fees and value-added tax are not a small burden.

Let's put it this way, maybe the money spent at the beginning will be less, but paying money to the tax bureau every year this year is not equivalent to raising a father for no reason, or the kind of non-production.

Moreover, American real estate has harsh inheritance laws and regulations, which means that real estate speculation is more difficult.

What if he loses money in making a movie? Shouldn't he save some money to prevent such things from happening?

Therefore, it was only now that he dared to move this thought.

"You’re right to find me. I now have 13 high-end properties in my hand. I can’t live in that many. I will take you to see the house tomorrow. I will give you a discount. ." Nicholas-Thieves Real Estate-Cage said.

"So many, why are you buying so many houses?"

"Investment." Nicholas Cage looked proud, "I have lost most of the money for filmmaking in the past ten years." After that, he also wanted to mention Lehman, "You Say that you have a lot of money. Let me tell you that in the past few years, high-end real estate in the United States has increased a lot. Taking advantage of the good market conditions, you should also quickly stock up a few sets. At that time, it will be rented or sold. Earned."

"Whose idea was this?" Lyman looked weird.

"Isn’t it a stupid thing not to put money in the bank for interest? I have money, and I have also asked the relevant financial manager to help me take care of it. According to his idea, it is to buy high-quality stocks, but I I don’t think it’s reliable. I think it’s better to buy a house and be practical.”

"Don't you think it's not worthwhile? You have to pay taxes every year."

"It’s a bit troublesome, but I’ll tell you that I only sold a Marbury house the year before last. I made more than 20 million yuan in three years than when I bought it. Compared with the money, that little tax The money is nothing. How about it, do you want to invest too."

Nicholas Cage is still selling his business.

In his opinion, Lehman can befriended.

"Forget it, one set is enough for me."

Now I finally know why Cage has become the "king of bad movies" for later generations. They all say that he has failed in investment and owed a lot of money. In order to make more money, it is called a meat and vegetables, and he dares to take any film.

Can this not fail the investment?Hoarding houses in the United States, damn it, when the financial crisis arrived, I guess I didn’t die fast enough.

At that time, the real estate industry will be called the Great Depression. If you want to sell it in your hand, you will not be able to sell it. You will have to pay various taxes every year.

And he has not raised one dad, but a dozen dads, can he be unbeaten.

"I advise you, don't buy a house, you are an actor, why not try to invest in movies." Lehman said kindly.

"Movies?" Cage shook his head, "This is even more unreliable. Who knows which movie is made to make a profit or lose money? The real estate is different. Now the price is one year, but it is a business that makes money without losing money. "

Okay, so to speak, he is not a posterity, how can he know that a financial crisis will break out?If there hadn't been that disaster, Cage would still be alive and well.

Thinking of this, Lehman stopped trying to persuade him.

Originally thinking about not taking advantage of him to buy his real estate, now it seems that I am helping him.

Poor Cage.
