Chapter 257

$17.5 million!

This is my big Greek wedding, which premieres in North America on February 14, Valentine's day.

It became the No.1 box office in North America!

In second place, Warner's film "CITIC in the bottle" received $13.2 million with 19.3% of the total number of films.

In the contest between Zucker and Time Warner, Zucker won a phased victory.

And, it's a victory that makes a lot of people drop their eyes!

The box office amount of US $17.5 million, if compared with the box office amount of more than 40 million on the first day of those high-cost blockbusters, is very clumsy. But you have to understand that it is just a love movie.

It's unbelievable that a love movie can claim $17.5 million on its first day.

"I'll go!"

Jordan, an old friend of Paramount Pictures, couldn't help blurting out after seeing the report: "awesome! Zucker Wald, I can't imagine that in just a few years, you have developed to such a degree that even Warner media can win. I have to say that you are powerful enough. "

If you ask the whole Hollywood, who is the first to contact Zhuke?

There's no doubt it's him, Jordan!

In this Valentine's Day season, Jordan thought that without Paramount's protection and Warner's pertinence, Zhuke would be defeated, but he never thought that Zhuke would counter attack.

Man, that's Warner!

Jordan can't help but be surprised!

Miramax pictures.

Harvey Weinstein, President, the pupil shrinks.

"My God ~!"

"How is that possible?"

"With 25 million users, AOL is growing at the rate of 50000 person times a week, with a market value of nearly 300 billion US dollars. It is the largest Internet emerging media giant in the United States and even in the world. How can it get together with Zhuke?"

"Is the world crazy?"

Harvey Weinstein is also a senior practitioner in Hollywood. He has been wandering in the world for decades and has seen many big waves. However, he never thought that because of a movie, he was involved in two media giants.

AOL;

Time Warner;

"It's just a movie. Is it so big?" Harvey grinned bitterly when he was young.

In a whole day, the two media giants worked together, involving as many as 213 newspapers and periodicals, which is not much worse than the presidential election of the United States!

Harvey murmured, "it's not easy to be provoked. It's not easy to be provoked by chuck Wald! No, to be exact, no film company will dare to provoke him secretly if there is no accident in the future. "

Even AOL and Warner, the two media giants, are getting involved in just one movie. Which company dares to be the leader in the future?

Not only Harvey Weinstein, but also Shea, the president of new line pictures, who has always regarded himself highly, was silent at this moment.

"Damn Zucker Wald, he's the weather!" Shea was not happy.

In his eyes, Zhuke is just a lucky young man.

But now, he did not dare to say so.

In the competition between media giants, he Zhuke can participate in and win a great victory. Do you think that a veteran Hollywood person like Xie Yi can cool Zhuke?

Young people are rising. Should we old guys abdicate unconditionally?

Don't even think about it!

But the situation is better than others!

Today's action of Zhuke really scares a lot of film companies that are ready to move in the future.

More or less, these companies have some illusions about Wald pictures. They think it's possible to start after losing Paramount's protection. But now, when Zhuke makes a move to sacrifice a killer like AOL, they are scared to death.

AOL, with a market value of nearly $300 billion, you can weigh it up.

.......

Time Warner Group.

"Damn it

Steve Ross, chairman of the board of directors, angrily scolded: "a small Wald film company has produced so many moths that even AOL can stand up for him. What is the purpose of this? Do you want to fight with me? "

"Hum!"

"Fight, fight!"

"In my life, Steve Roth started his career as a small funeral home, and then extended his career to Wall Street and mafia. He acquired Warner film company, and then gobbled up time group to create Time Warner, the largest media group in the world. Who am I afraid of?"

Between the words, Steve Roth is full of hostility and domineering.

He is not a rich second generation born with a golden spoon. He is a model of starting from scratch. His starting capital is far worse than that of leishidong of paramount. However, he can be regarded as a legend if he can reach today's level!

He has nothing to fear!

Suddenly, in the huge conference room, more than a dozen senior executives of Time Warner Group kept quiet.

No one dares to speak.

"Boss, please listen to me."

Just then, Barry Meyer, vice president of Warner pictures, came forward.

Steve Roth was meant to abuse the speaker, but when he saw it was Barry Meyer, he didn't get angry.

Although Barry Meyer is not the CEO of Time Warner Group or the president of its Warner film company, he is a person that Steve Roth appreciates very much.

(Note: Barry Meyer has been in charge of Warner pictures since 2000.)

"Boss, the market value of Time Warner is as high as 150 billion US dollars, with hundreds of companies and more than 120000 employees. In the traditional media field, we dare to be the second, then no one in the world dares to be the first."

"But..."

"Boss, for just a Wald film, do we really want to fight a new giant like AOL?"

"I have to say that we may not be able to win."

"Besides, it's just a movie. He's young and he wants to win. Then we'll give it to him. "

"How many films does Wald pictures produce in a year, and how many films does Warner pictures produce in a year?"

"If we really want to go to war, no matter what the result, we will lose a lot."

Barry Meyer said in a deep voice, "I'll be calm for a while. I don't believe AOL can protect him all the time. We have plenty of opportunities to deal with him! "

Voice down, now many executives have seconded.

Is it good for them to go to war.

Moreover, they don't believe that Steve Roth will choose a positive one!

What he says now is nothing more than a step down.

Now Barry Meyer's off the stage. You say, can he not?

"Hum!"

Steve Ross hummed coldly: "Jack Wald, and Steve Case of AOL, you two guys wait for me ~"

"The third watch" is here.
