The car is far away from Firefly Group Headquarters, and Bill · Michanik has not recovered from the shock that he just brought to him by Katzenberg.
Over the years, Firefly Group has not only successively annexed the new line Film Industry, Disney Group and ABC Group, becoming the largest media giant of Hollywood, but also secretly controlling Metro Goldwyn Mayer Film Industry and having a deep relationship with 20th Century Fox.
Bill · Micanić thinks that even the Metro Goldwyn Mayer, the golden age of the Hollywood golden age, is probably not the case.
If Firefly just wanted to take back Columbia Film Studio and drove Japanese out of Hollywood completely, Bill · Micanić would not be too surprised. In his view, with the current operating status of Sony Film Industry, if there is no fundamental change in the next few years, Sony's exit from the film and television industry is almost inevitable. At that time, with the strength of Firefly Group, if this company takes action, Hollywood has few competitors that can compete with it.
However, from Katzenberg's remarks that Firefly intends to suppress Hollywood's first-line superstar pay, Bill Michanik understands another thing: Firefly Group wants to be the Hollywood rule maker.
However, if you want to make rules, it is still not enough to grasp the half of the Hollywood big Film Studio. This can only be like a half-net fishing net in a river, but the fish in the river can easily swim across from the other side.
To make rules, Firefly must hold the entire Hollywood in hand.
If you want to achieve this, after Sony, Firefly will definitely shoot to Hollywood.
From the perspective of Bill · Micanić, it is only realistic to get back Columbia Film Studio. The other three large Film Studio, whether it is Universal, Paramount, or Warner, have become part of a large media group. These Media groups that have undergone hardships and obstacles before finally integrating will basically not sell their Film Industry business.
That is to say, Firefly wants to win the last three Film Studio, the only way is probably to swallow their parent company together.
Bill · Michanik knows Katzenberg very well. He does n’t think Katzenberg will produce such unrealistic ambitions. After all, in his opinion, even if this goal can be achieved, it is estimated that it will be two years after 30.
The year 30, Hollywood, whose ambition can last 30?
Even if the old and strong media tycoons such as Redstone or Murdoch, Viacom and News Corp have reached a limit to the present level, even if they can live 30 again, and firmly put Viacom and News Corp is in their hands, but they actually do not have enough energy to continue to develop and grow their industries.
However, thinking of this, the young man behind Firefly Group appeared quickly in the mind of Bill Michanik.
So, in the mixed flavors, suddenly more suddenly brighter.
Eric Williams is only 27 years old this year, but Firefly Group has grown to its current size.
So, continue, as long as you stick to this ambition, Firefly controls the entire Hollywood, maybe it is not a completely impossible thing.
The car has come to Columbia Film Studio Headquarters in Culver city unconsciously.
After hearing the assistant's soft reminder, Bill Michanick finally recovered from his contemplation.
Thinking of Howard · Stringer, which is still waiting for the negotiation result between him and Katzenberg, Bill · Michanic considered for a while, but decided not to tell Howard · Stringer what he said when he met Katzenberg.
Howard · Stringer is dedicated to becoming the first non-Japanese CEO of Sony Group, but he still has to stay in Hollywood for a long time. Bill · Michanik even thought, maybe, he should contact more colleagues in the Disney period in the future, then, even if Firefly Group gets back Columbia Film Studio, he still has a great chance to continue to be the CEO of Columbia Film Studio the company.
Christmas this year is Thursday, except for the impact of Christmas Eve on Wednesday, "Rush Hour2" single day Box Office fell to 6.59 million USD, and the other three working days of "Rush Hour2" single day Box Office are all above 9million USD, The single-day Box Office of "Rush Hour2" on Christmas Day even rebounded to 10750,000 USD.
In the end, Box Office in the first week of "Rush Hour2" reached 100 million zero 3.52 million USD, becoming the only dark horse in the first week of 1997 with Box Office breaking 100 million in the first week.
Following the "Rush Hour2" "Star Team", the first week Box Office stopped at 29150,000 USD, and the single-day Box Office on the last working day of the first week slipped to the million level.
"Rush Hour2" broke through 100 million in the first week, and North America's total Box Office broke through 200 million is almost a matter of course. The next "Jurassic Park3" is also inevitable under the influence of "Rush Hour2".
Since it is unavoidable, Eric will also concentrate on enjoying the warmth of Christmas. As for Los Angeles, the two male protagonists hope to add a part of the Box Office split requirement on the basis of the third sequel 20 million USD in the contract. Eric also did not care .
After Christmas, "Jurassic Park3" landed on North America's major theaters on December 26.
Since it's Christmas, Eric will gradually shift his mind to work.
Saturday morning, because several senior executives of Yahoo had a less formal video conference to discuss the development plan of Yahoo next year, Eric sat in the study room early, waiting for Jurassic Park3 to be sent by Los Angeles The first day of the Box Office report.
For the whole year of this year, due to the outbreak of the Internet technology wave, a large number of emerging Internet companies have increased their efforts to promote online advertising at all costs.
Therefore, as the web portal giant that occupies more than 70% of the North America market, Yahoo's performance this year has increased significantly again.
Compared with the 1.9400 million USD revenue for the whole year of last year, although the performance data of the last quarter is still being counted, but only for the first three quarters, the annual revenue of Yahoo has reached 4.3.5 billion USD Probably close to 600 million USD.
However, correspondingly, as North America and even overseas Internet users continue to explode, the operating costs of Yahoo have also skyrocketed. Throughout 1995, Firefly invested 500 million USD into Yahoo.
According to preliminary statistics, compared with last year, Yahoo ’s loss this year will also rise above 300 million USD.
Because it is not a very formal meeting, on the other side of the video, several executives of Yahoo also gathered in the living room of YahooCEOIan · Gnier ’s house.
"According to the statistics in November, the number of global Internet users has exceeded 100 million, of which North America Internet users accounted for 70%, reaching 70 million. Next year, the number of Internet users in North America alone will exceed 100 million. Want To maintain the rapid expansion of Yahoo in North America and overseas, the company will need at least 1billion USD funds and Eric next year. I have received more than one call these days to test whether Yahoo is going to be financed externally. This time, 1billion USD, you are also planning to invest in Firefly Full capital injection? "
According to the agreement, Yahoo has already carried out a share distribution.
However, through the 500 million USD capital injection last year, the share of Firefly investment in Yahoo also increased to 85%. According to Yahoo's current valuation of around 15billion USD, if all 1billion USD funds are injected from Firefly investment next year, the share of Firefly investment in Yahoo will also rise to more than 90% again.
"I said before, before Yahoo is listed, we will not introduce external investment, so this is of course," Eric nodded and said: "About money, you just discuss it with Chris This year, Nokia, Cisco, LTD and other subsidiaries will bring a good profit dividend to Firefly investment. It is no problem to support the expansion of Yahoo. Let ’s discuss the next development plan of Yahoo. "
Eric was about to continue speaking, but the door of the study was pushed open.
Eric did not see anyone at a glance and straightened his body, only to notice that his daughter had run in.
"Papa, Papa, this is the biscuits just baked by Mama, you try it," the little guy ran to Eric and handed over half of the cookies in his face innocently.
Eric watched the baby girl deliberately pretend to be a child. I did n’t understand anything, smiled, or spoiled his daughter and put it on his lap.
Hawaii's goal was achieved. He stuffed that half of the cookie into his dad's mouth. A pair of beautiful big eyes turned to the computer screen with curiosity. I saw a few stranger's faces on the screen. I was a little disappointed.
Eric took down half of the biscuits stuck in his mouth and placed them next to it, feeling that her daughter was about to run away and hug gently, saying: "Xiaxia, be polite Oh, remember everyone, do n’t forget Say hello. "
Ian · Gnier, Steve · Mitnick and Tina · Brown on the other side all looked at the situation with great interest. They had already seen Hawaii at the wedding of Chris. No stranger, only later I heard from Jeff · Bezos that this little girl of Eric is very smart.
Looking at the little girl in front of you through the screen reveals an inexplicable spirit, Steve · Mitnick ca n’t help but say, "Hey, Xiaxia, I heard you are very smart Oh, Nà, give you out A math problem? "
Hawaii looked at a few people crowded into the computer screen, tilted his head, and said, "I got it right, can you walk away from the screen?"
