Chapter 571
Eric originally thought that the news that "Jurassic Park" broke the historical record of global Box Office would appear on the entertainment version. What surprised him was that 《The New York Times》 even published this news on the front page of the current political version. There are still many pictures. Mention the Tyrannosaurus Rex photo used by newspaper in "Jurassic Park".
From the beginning of June to the present, after sixteen weeks of screening, "Jurassic Park" broke the global Box Office of 8.900 million USD created by E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial in 1982 with North America 430 million, overseas 470 million, total 900 million USD global total Box Office Record. Although many professional Box Office analysts often mention the fare difference between 1982 and 1993, for ordinary people, the most intuitive figures are often more eye-catching than those professionally-founded analysis, so 《The New York Times》 does not render inflation Factors.
Although there is still a gap between the global 1 billion Box Office and 100 million USD that Eric originally called out, but according to the current trend, although the North America Box Office has some difficulties in surpassing the local record of 《Star Wars》 460 million USD, in the next few months, it will be a piecemeal harvest of two thousand. There is no problem with the Box Office of around 10,000, and the Box Office potential of overseas ticket warehouse countries is far from being exhausted. Eric roughly browsed the data of the main ticket warehouse countries Box Office published on newspaper. At this time, Jurassic Park Japan Box Office is equivalent more than 80 million USD, and the memory Japan Box Office definitely broke through 100 million USD, so according to the current trend, global 1 billion is completely just a matter of time.
Except for some advertising cooperation, the Firefly Pictures and 《The New York Times》 ’s owner, the Salzburg family, are not much connected. After reading all the news on the whole page, Eric only understood why 《The New York Times》 published the record breaking news of "Jurassic Park" Box Office on the headlines of newspaper's political edition.
《The New York Times》 through several high-quality analysis articles on the front page, combined with the global Box Office of "Jurassic Park", the overseas Box Office growth rate of the seven Film Studio of Hollywood in recent years, and the new "GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade)" that will be signed for the establishment of to The analysis of the impact brought forth a very important message Hollywood and the rise of global.
Joanna noticed that Eric was fully absorbed in reading newspaper from time to time, frowning and thinking slightly. Also curiously leaned over to look at newspaper in the hands of Eric, Eric propped her chin on the woman's head, and smelled a faint fragrance. Asked: "Do you see anything?"
Joanna gently pressed his cheek in front of Eric, feeling his powerful heartbeat. Some does not abandon said: "Are you going back to Los Angeles?"
"No," Eric embraced the soft body of Joanna and said, "《The New York Times》 will not touted the rise of Hollywood for no reason. Someone should be pushing behind it."
"You call and ask Jeffrey them, it's not clear."
Eric took the watch and glanced at it. It is less than six o'clock. It is three o'clock in the morning on Los Angeles. At this time, if you call in the past, you will be nailed.
“I do n’t think it ’s a public relations article on the company ’s side. The potential of“ Jurassic Park ”in the North America ’s Box Office has almost been exhausted. Although some Box Office can be harvested in the next few months, according to the ladder sharing agreement, the company and the The share ratio of the cinema side is 1: 9, there is no need for marketing at all. "
Joanna reached out and stroked between the frowns of Eric who wrinkled because of thinking, as if to smooth out the fine lines squeezed out there, and said: "I do n’t understand these things, do n’t you always think of so many things every day , Tired, why not sleep again? "
"consider as finished. Time to get up."
Eric put newspaper aside and no longer continue to think about this matter, actually. This kind of thing is not too complicated. Those who can benefit from today's news, the eight achievements are the manipulators behind it.
Because of the news that "Jurassic Park" broke the Box Office record, the following days, the relevant calls kept calling Eath Hampton's manor, and Eric quickly figured out why 《The New York Times》 published those news.
On the day when 《The New York Times》 broke the record Box Office through the global of "Jurassic Park", after the opening of the New York stock exchange, the stocks of the film and television media sector rose collectively, and even many good potential Film Studio stock prices skyrocketed 30%. Reached the daily increase limit of New York stock exchange.
Of course, most companies can only get some benefit from the book value of stocks. Because of the extreme instability in the profits of the film industry, these are the benefits that are gained because of the appreciation of stocks. It is likely that it will suddenly evaporate on a certain day in the future.
But Hollywood is being purchased by Viacom and QVC for Paramount communication, but it can get more direct benefits. In the following days, the stock price of Paramount Pictures parent company Paramount Communications rose by 17%, and since the news that Viacom and QVC will bid for Paramount communications last year, the share price of Paramount Communications has doubled in almost a year At this time, the market value of Paramount communication is close to 9500 million USD.
Eric remembers the original time and space, Redstone spent 10billion USD to acquire Paramount communications, but according to the current situation, whether it is Barry Diller or Redstone, want to win Paramount with 10billion USD, it is no longer so easy.
Michael Lynn and others have mentioned this incident with regret during the conversation with Eric. If Firefly Pictures chooses to go public, then Firefly Pictures will be the biggest beneficiary of this collective wave of media stocks.
But Eric does not think so. In his view, the stock face price and the actual value of the company are two concepts. Although the stock price often reflects the actual value of a company to a certain extent, most of the time, The stock price and the company's value are not equal.
Like this time, if Firefly chooses to go public, as the summer movie "Jurassic Park" and other movies Box Office explode, the stock price of Firefly Pictures will hit a new height, but this height does not necessarily equal the actual value of Firefly Pictures unless Shareholders dump their stocks at this time, otherwise they will not be able to gain much benefit as the stock price rises.
Moreover, Eric also talked to Chris about the market value of Firefly Pictures, if Firefly Pictures chooses to go public at this time. The market value can definitely break through 20billion USD very securely. But in the mind of Eric, because of the reborn Goldfinger, the value of Firefly Pictures is more than 20billion USD.
These things happen at the same time. At the end of September, Fox TV Station officially broadcast "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". With the predecessor of "File" Fourth Season whose ratings are at the peak of 20 million, the first episode of "Buffy" went to 1more than 5 million more ratings. Although this rating was not too dazzling in 1993, even the top ten of the annual plot TV series ratings may not be achieved, but for Fox TV Network, which has just experienced the withdrawal of Firefly Pictures, it is a very good news. It means that Fox TV Network really owns a popular copyright hot TV series show. At the same time, because of the good news of the media dividend brought by the "Jurassic Park" breaking global Box Office record, News Corp's recently fluctuating stock price finally stabilized.
After the broadcast of "Buffy". Perhaps it was the sign of Murdoch, or with some other thoughts, Elizabeth, who was far away from Los Angeles, came to Eath Hampton to visit Eric.
After saying hello to Joanna and the two little guys, Elizabeth came to the study room of Eric and said, "The scenery here is good. I went back to find a manor nearby."
Looking at the girl taking her place with impunity, Eric walked over to the bar and rushed over to the coffee and said, "I bought a few other places. If you are interested, the key is at Joan."
Elizabeth flipped through a pile of documents that Eric placed on the desk. He raised his head and gave him a white eye: "If you gave it to me personally, I could barely accept it. You even asked me to ask your woman for something. It's too sincere."
"Then consider as finished, millions of things, I just gave it to you. I still feel very distressed."
"Bah, you bastard," Elizabeth gave a soft sip, waved the folder in his hand, and his eyes flashed with unobtrusive little cunning: "These are TV series planning cases, which one do you see? , Let me see it for you. "
Eric hastily poured two cups of coffee. Going to the desk and handing the girl a glass, he said: "We are competitors now. Seducing this trick won't work for me."
Actually, Eric hasn't had time to read.
"Ghosts want to seduce you." Elizabeth gave Eric a white eyeball: "And, your eyes are actually not good. The ratings of" Buffy "are only 15 million, which is much worse than I thought. . "
Eric took a chair and sat across from the desk, holding a coffee cup and smiling: "Is there two more 3 million viewers, overjoyed?"
Elizabeth seems to have been choked, but there is no rebuttal. "Buffy" TV series naturally has two restrictions. First, as a youth campus drama, the audience group is directly limited to young people. Second, the theme of TV series is supernatural. Power, this once again limits the people who are not interested in supernatural phenomena. When the two items are added together, the ratings of 15 million really exceed the expectations of Fox TV Network.
Elizabeth saw the habitual quarrel with Eric again fell into the downwind, so I had to shift my attention, looked at the head monitor on the desktop, looked down, found the computer host, and pressed the power button.
Looking at the login interface appearing on the display, Elizabeth rubbed his hands and put it on the keyboard, asking: "Hey, what is the password?"
Eric took a sip of coffee and casually said: "haaii (Hawaii)."
Elizabeth put his lips up and entered the password, not forgetting the habitual teasing: "When your daughter grows up, she will be overjoyed by the name his father gave her."
"I think that when Emma grows up and finds himself with a long list of surnames, he will definitely be more pleasantly surprised."
"Well, Emma can always call you Papa, you have been in New York for so long, but you wo n’t go to see the little guy, it ’s really irresponsible."
"I have always been curious. When Emma called me, did I know what the word" Papa "means."
Elizabeth laughed twice and said, "I'm also curious. Emma only calls you Papa. It doesn't respond to other men, women, cats, dogs and cats. It seems that you can be classified as a single one. Special species, a creature named 'Papa', Tsk Tsk ...... "
When Eric watched the girl talking, she did n’t forget the Pā clapping on the keyboard, and quickly reminded: "Do n’t mess up my saved files."
"I have been studying for a year," Elizabeth lifted his chin, and then exclaimed: "Wow, how is your computer different from others ... It's not the same, so big Oh, 1000m hard drive, how to get it Come out? "
Although computer performance has begun to soar in accordance with Moore ’s Law at this time, ordinary personal computers still only have two or three hundred megabytes of storage space. Eric ca n’t stand these, so people have customized one. In fact, this kind of thing is Later generations are very common, and this kind of computer has a very cottage name, assembler.
However, at this time, it is not so easy to assemble a personal computer. If you want to exceed the general performance limits, you can only customize it from the motherboard.
"This is a customized version, if you are interested, I can give you a call," Eric explained, and said: "Okay, do n’t fool around, you suddenly came over, for what, Say it? "
"Ca n’t I just visit you?"
"I see it now, do you want me to drop off personally?"
"Okay, really," Elizabeth struck **** the keyboard a few times before saying, "Do n’t I serve as 20th Century Fox Vice Chairman?"
"Huh?"
"Then, last week, I took down the" Braveheart "project of Mel Gibson, 18 million USD paid, plus a 10% profit share," Elizabeth said, seeing that Eric became dignified and immediately changed Tears: "Is the price too high? Anyway, you have to help me. If this project is lost, my Vice Chairman will definitely pack up and leave."
Eric asked helplessly: "What is the production budget you have prepared?"
Elizabeth Road: "Counting the pay of Mel Gibson, a total of 70 million."
Eric sighed: "You should say hello to me in advance, this project is actually not very profitable, I am looking at its Oscar prospects, I think it should be able to get several important The Oscar award is only ready to win it. "
"What about now?" (To be continued.)
