Chapter 428

IPO companies usually choose to be listed on Thursday or Friday, so that in case of emergency, the weekend closing can provide a buffer for IPO companies to solve the problem.

AOL was launched on Friday, July 12.

Of course, the IPO has been smooth so far.

Even with psychological preparation, the 106% share price rise on Friday exceeded many people's expectations. The closing price of US $43.25, the market value of US $7.46 billion, and the wealth appreciation of Simon westero of US $4.9 billion all stir up the nerves of countless people.

A company that is still burning money and losing money has gained a price earnings ratio of 72 times on the day of listing. While all parties are admiring and admiring, they are also discussing whether the company is worth such a share price.

In this atmosphere of discussion, AOL's stock price will inevitably begin to pull back in the new week.

Even so, in the five consecutive trading days from July 15 to July 19, AOL's market value remained the lowest at more than $5 billion.

After paying all the investment bank and lawyer fees, AOL finally received more than $430 million.

With the success of the IPO, AOL immediately started Simon westero, or danielis entertainment, which obviously absorbed most of Hollywood's resources in recent years.

Take Batman: the dark knight as an example. For the first time, it has more than 3000 screens and a budget of 80 million US dollars. It is doomed that this film will occupy the living space of other films in terms of film schedule, cinema platform and publicity channel, and it is a very strong occupation.

Others, such as Terminator 2, the end of the world and a few good people, are all like this.

Danielis entertainment chooses to cooperate with other studios, which seems to give up half of its interests. In fact, on the other hand, it seizes the due resources of these studios' own films.

In addition, the "blockbuster" films, which have sprung up in recent years, have also deviated from the element that Hollywood films used to only take chances.

Blockbuster movies have already had a strong selling advantage since they were approved.

In a word, enough budget has been invested in the production process, enough excellent creative team has been selected, the most advanced film technology has been applied, and Simon westero, a film talent, is in charge. The late release of the film occupies the best schedule and publicity resources of Hollywood every year. As long as the quality of this series of films is not too bad, it is not too difficult to sell them.

Therefore, it is not a coincidence that Denise's entertainment films are becoming more and more powerful in Hollywood.

Other major studios are eager to cooperate with danielis entertainment. Apart from the phenomenal super box office project Batman: The Dark Knight, it's hard to say whether it's a big gain or a big loss.

Simon has always been worried that his unpredictable "talent" in movies will cause unnecessary trouble. Although this article in Hollywood Reporter will wake up several other major Hollywood studios, it is also a result Simon hopes to see.
