Chapter 763
During the Christmas period, the last batch of new films of Hollywood in 1995 began to be released. In the past, because of the variety of literary and artistic films aimed at impacting Oscar in the coming year, under the control of Film Studio behind the scenes, the entertainment media will always be extra lively.
But this year, this media atmosphere, which is full of public relations, is much colder. In the 53rd film and television Golden Globe Award nomination list that has been announced, "Forrest Gump" won seven important nominations for the best film in the plot category, best Director, best actor, etc. without suspense.
Under the circumstances that "Forrest Gump" has vigorously won a series of pre-large and small awards, if the movie awards other than Golden Globe Award are divided into two categories: plot and comedy, some movies may even give up directly. The public relations of the awards, even so, in order to avoid confrontation with "Forrest Gump" on Golden Globe Award, some plot movies even squeezed into the musical drama category, so it also caused a lot of media teasing and censure.
When ordinary people enjoy holidays, Hollywood has been brewing for a few months. Metro Goldwyn Mayer began to consciously release the relevant news of "Casino Royale". When I heard that Eric Williams will personally direct this 007 sequel, many people ’s first reaction You may even think that others are joking. Eric Williams is too lazy to direct the sequel of the "Jurassic Park" series created by himself. How can it be possible that shoots has continued the old agent series of 30 for many years. After all, in the eyes of insiders, the 007 series is turning over and over Well, a few routines can't really play too many tricks. If you are just an audience, you may still be able to get some fun from the hot scene and the beautiful Bond girl, but if you are Director, then this job can only be Describe it as plain and tasteless.
However, as the news spreads more and more, it becomes more and more eloquent.
…… Eric Williams talked with 007 producer Barbara Bullock on Cliff Peak Manor party.
... The next 007 will be shoots Ian · Fleming's last "Casino Royale" which has not been put on the screen.
... Metro Goldwyn Mayer began secret contact with the Charlie's Angels trio.
…… Part 18 007 will fully open the Metro Goldwyn Mayer agent movie universe.
...... The three major Brokerage Firm began to frequently test the progress of the 007 project of Metro Goldwyn Mayer in an attempt to gain more role share.
......
This series of scattered details has gradually proved that perhaps Eric Williams really has to personally direct the next 007.
The media with a keen sense of smell soon caught the news and began to dig deeper.
However, "Casino Royale" is still in the script modification stage. After releasing some of the news, in order to properly maintain the mystery of the series and maintain a sufficient topical degree, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer has been sealed up and down internally, and began to keep quiet, not to the outside. For any confirmation and comment on the news, the media public relations department just stated that the project is still in the process of preparation, and everything has not been finalized yet.
Similarly, Barbara Brockley, the current helm of the 007 series, is a woman who does not like public appearances. The media reporters did not get more information from her. However, Barbara Brock The older brother Michael · Will, who is also the producer of the series, is just the opposite. He is a guy who likes to stand out. Soon, the superb media reporters have confirmed from Michael · Will Xun in United Kingdom London that Eric Williams will indeed serve as "Casino Royale" "Director.
The news burst at once.
From the release of "Jurassic Park" in 1993 and the creation of the global 1 billion USD Box Office miracle, it has been more than two years since now.
Because Eric's next movie has no news, there have been more than one news in the media that Eric will give up personally directing the film to move behind the scenes. In the past two years, Limited Group has risen rapidly with "Victoria’s Secret Annual Fashion Show". TV Station relies on two Reality Shows, Metro Goldwyn Mayer , The integration of Flower Films and DreamWorks production, and the continued strong Film Industry business of Firefly Group, all prove the reliability of this view in the media.
Although ordinary people have paid less and less attention to the news of Eric, in Hollywood and even the newly emerging Internet industry, even in the irrelevant apparel industry, Eric ’s presence is still so strong and its influence It didn't even mean to stop.
As far as 1995 is concerned, Hollywood is still a productive year this year. With the last two weeks of the Christmas period, the total Box Office of Hollywood has reached a new high throughout the year, reaching the scale of 6500 million USD.
And Firefly Group only relied on the five movies "The Lost World: Jurassic Park", "Independence Day", "Toy Story 2", "Bad Boys" and "One Hundred and One Dalmatians", and madly harvested as many as 1billion USD Box Office, Firefly Group several major factories under the year The brand released a total of 18 films. Although the production has been significantly reduced compared with the previous two years, the cumulative Box Office of the 18 films still reached 1390 million, and the share of global Box Office has reached the amazing scale of 2.7 billion USD.
According to statistics, the total size of the global Box Office market in 1995 was only about 17.5 billion USD. Therefore, Firefly Group alone has already occupied 15.4% of the Box Office share in the global movie market, although the worldwide strength of Hollywood movies is A thing that everyone knows, but a company will divide up the 15.4% share of the global Box Office market, which can only be described as horror.
And behind all this, there is no doubt that the young man who has been mired from the beginning of his debut is in control.
As the topic brewed, Eric turned the news of personally directing "Casino Royale" into a fuse, igniting the public's interest in cooling him down again.
The media can always keep abreast of the trends and keep up with the current situation. As the topic of the conversation increases, they also start to provide more information that they are interested in for reading or viewers.
Most people are undoubtedly very superficial. Last year, "Forbes" magazine already made a valuation of 46500 million USD for Eric Williams's net worth. This valuation not only made the rich people behind him only to look up Looking up also makes many people who see this data feel numb. After all, ordinary people cannot imagine what the assets of 46500 million USD represent.
Although they are not clear about the huge energy of huge wealth, they still have a very strong curiosity about Eric's net worth this year, so the media also began to relish the assets owned or held under the name Eric.
A Firefly business empire network map that appeared in "Business Weekly" subsequently caused a crazy reprint of countless media magazine, and in the following months, it was frequently discussed as a topic of various types of media.
In this issue of Business Week, the details of the two major business networks headed by Firefly Group and Firefly investments under the Eric name are fully exposed to the world.
It is needless to say that Firefly Group is the largest media group in Hollywood, which owns Disney Group, ABC Group, Firefly Film Studio, Pixar Animation Company, New Line Film Studio, Firefly Records, Broadway International Distribution Company, Digital Special Effects Company, Marvel Entertainment A series of high-quality entertainment companies. Last year, the relevant agencies have made a valuation of more than 50billion USD for Firefly Group. This year, with the excellent revenue growth rate of Firefly Group, according to the annual growth rate of 30%, its valuation once again broke through The new high reached 65billion USD. For this item alone, Eric Williams, which owns about 73% of Firefly Group, will acquire more than 47billion USD assets, which is 500 million USD more than its entire net worth last year.
The scale of the Firefly investment company that followed has made many people dumbfounded.
After a detailed investigation by a reporter from Business Weekly, this investment company has been somewhat obscure since its inception. At this time, it has high-quality company shares that far exceed most people's imagination.
Look at it.
Yahoo network company, the first portal of the Internet industry, a well-deserved Internet industry fractional enterprise in recent years, the valuation exceeds 5billion USD, Firefly investment holds 80%.
Cisco, a large-scale network equipment company, currently has a market value of 26billion USD. After nearly a year of large shareholdings, Firefly Investment holds 26% of the shares.
AOL, an emerging Internet service provider, is about to land on the Nasdaq market in January next year. The current valuation is close to 5billion USD, and Firefly Investment holds 30% of the shares.
Limited Group, which owns well-known Neiyi fashion brands such as Victoria's Secret. With the rise of Victoria’s Secret Annual Fashion Show for two consecutive years, the current market value is 5900 million USD, and Firefly investment holds 35% of the shares.
Nokia, Headquarters is a mobile communication equipment company based in Finland. In 1995, it achieved 7million mobile phone sales. Firefly invested 51% of the shares and has absolute control.
, a well-known telecommunications operator with a mobile operating network within the scope of entire US, Firefly Investment holds 10% of the shares.
Qualcomm, the latest mobile communication technology company, has a large number of third-generation digital communication technology patents, and has received support from mobile operators. Firefly invested 40% of its shares.
......
Although most traditional investors believe that the risks of investing in high-tech companies are huge, because these companies generally need to invest a lot of R & D funds every year to maintain technological leadership, and if they are not careful, they may be overtaken by their peers and decline rapidly. However, with the recent two years, the Nasdaq index, which is dominated by high-tech stocks, has started to rise rapidly, and the rise of the Internet and mobile communication technology industries. Therefore, not many people will doubt the development prospects of these emerging industries.
As a result, these high-tech companies owned by Firefly Investment have doubled their valuations and stock prices in recent years.
For example, Yahoo network company, this high-tech company with popular network products such as Yahoo portal, Yahoo Mail, etc. In recent years, Firefly investment has invested less than 600 million USD in recent years, but according to its current market estimates Value, if Firefly investment is willing to let go, it can definitely get more than 10 times the premium income.
Although these companies owned by Firefly Investment can not compete with the huge Firefly Group, they are almost without exception the leading companies in related industries. It can be imagined that with the rapid development of high-tech industries, the next few years These companies may even produce a single company with a market capitalization that surpasses the Firefly Group Big Mac.
So, when the time comes, Eric Williams's net worth will be even more jaw-dropping.
This kind of business miracle happened to a young man who was still under the age of 30, which caused a strong feeling of powerlessness in many people's hearts.
Amidst the upsurge of public relations, Eric pushed back a lot of invitations for media interviews, and still continued his life step by step.
Christmas season, Metro Goldwyn Mayer's "Mean Girls" and Firefly's "One Hundred and One Dalmatians" are released at the same time. Disney was originally a tall and thin person making a family carnival comedy. The release of "One Hundred and One Dalmatians", with its interesting plot and the adorable Dalmatian army, quickly conquered the Christmas stall audience. For two consecutive weeks, it harvested more than 50 million USD Box Office.
The Box Office score of "Mean Girls" is not as dazzling as "One Hundred and One Dalmatians", but with the young audience market that has just been heated up by 《Scream》, this campus girl grabbed the horse comedy in the first week or harvested 20 million USD Box Office, and again harvested 15.6 million USD The production cost of this film is lower than that of 《Scream》. Therefore, just two weeks of playback has allowed Metro Goldwyn Mayer to recover all the costs.
While paying attention to the last two films Box Office of the New Year ’s calendar, Eric had to go to Mexico, Rosarito, the "Titanic" studio after Christmas.
