Chapter 831

Simon arrived at the east coast headquarters of Denise entertainment in Greenwich Village in lower Manhattan in the afternoon, and the news that elite, a famous international model agent, has changed its owner has spread rapidly.

The deal is nothing compared to Denise Entertainment's acquisition of metropolitan ABC Group and Tinkerbell's acquisition of broadcast. However, the well-known legendary tycoon and Playboy Simon westero has a direct encounter with the world's largest modeling and brokerage giant, which can bring people too much Association. It's just that the natural lace flavor in it has attracted no less attention than the other two acquisitions.

The sudden occurrence of the transaction has also become the focus of hot media discussion.

Apollo management's official statement is very routine: optimistic about the potential and future of the modeling industry, Balabala.

There's nothing we're looking forward to.

So we shifted the target.

When some reporters tried to contact John Casablanca, the founder and former president of elite, this always publicized fashion Godfather refused all the interview invitation. He just issued a similarly formulaic statement through his lawyer, saying that he quit the company for personal reasons, hoping that elite would get better and better.

There's still no truth.

There has never been an airtight wall.

Apollo management and John Casablanca failed to satisfy the curiosity of the media. According to the rapid spread of news in the circle, the media quickly locked in grace spatter, the new president of elite.

Grace spelt was suddenly fired from John Casablanca a week ago and then turned away.

The problem is clearly here.

First of all, the new leader of Elite: general agent background, beautiful appearance, perfect family, relying on less than a year old elite new media operation Department, the rapid rise of outstanding ability.

Nothing special.

Maybe it's just another new member of the women's gang in the westero system. Elite's new media operation Department has a very close cooperation with westero system, and both sides are win-win.

Even if, well, there's some gossip, and westero's preference for women is well known, in the absence of photos and other real hammers, it's impossible for them to appear in the newspaper in any case, otherwise, they are likely to be sued for bankruptcy.

Grace doesn't focus on herself either.

A little operation, the eyes of the media turned to a few customers in the name of women.

Trish Goff.

Oh.

It was clear at a glance.

This 19-year-old baby faced girl has been growing rapidly since last year. She not only signed a contract to become vimissimon, but also investigated the resume of CEO Michael Jordan of Westinghouse Electric. In fact, she is a white middle-aged professional manager with the same name as a famous basketball star, who is about 60 years old. She has nothing to do with general electric, and the story of business spy is just a hindsight A conspiracy theory complaint from the media.

In fact, Michael Jordan split and sold Westinghouse's traditional industrial business in the original time and space, and completely turned to the media field. Even in the late 1990s, he gave up Westinghouse's name and changed it to CBS. This development route is not wrong. The mistake is that the professional manager did not have the talent to run the media industry. In 1999, he finally sold his media assets, which cost a lot of money to integrate, to Somer leishidong.

Westinghouse also declined completely.

All in all, after playing golf all morning, Jack Welch agreed with Simon's idea and made a clear promise to Simon at lunch that he would not create obstacles in the merger of Denise and metropolitan ABC.

With CBS and NBC, the two potential competitors most likely to create obstacles to the acquisition, it's basically up to the dust.

Hollywood, as the foundation of Denise's entertainment, couldn't make waves at the beginning.

As for many other small and medium-sized media companies, Simon will not take them lightly, but without the collective rebound that may arise under the leadership of CBS and NBC, Simon does not think they can create many obstacles.

The media's attention has been diverted, the obstacles of competitors have been eliminated, and Washington is not a problem.

With these three things settled, the merger has been smooth..

Simon returned to the west coast on July 7.

It was Friday.

Another box office week for the summer season in North America is over.

Across the box office week of the Independence Day holiday, Jurassic Park 2, released on June 2, has finally given up its single week box office champion position. However, the winner is still danielis entertainment film, Apollo 13.

The film, set in the 1970 Apollo 13 air crash, fits in with the atmosphere of the Independence Day holiday, and is starred by Tom Hanks, who won the Oscar just a few months ago. Therefore, it attracted a large number of audiences to buy tickets during the festival.The production cost is 50 million US dollars, the publicity cost is 30 million US dollars, and the number of screens is 2793.

Depending on the classic comprehensive media score of 9.5 points as high as Jurassic Park 2, from June 30 to July 6, the box office revenue of Apollo 13 was as high as US $56.31 million in the first seven days of its opening, with the average revenue of more than US $20000. Although it can't be compared with Jurassic Park 2, according to the box office forecast of the first week, only the domestic total box office of 150 million to 200 million US dollars is enough for Apollo 13 to recover its full budget and make a profit.

After the championship, the fox animation adapted live action movie "dinosaurs" released at the same time as "Apollo 13" and the action movie "judge SWAT" starring Stallone produced by Disney failed to win the second place, and Jurassic Park 2 successfully held the second place on the list.

In the fifth week of release, under the impact of three new films, although it is a popular Independence Day holiday, "Jurassic Park 2" still has a single week box office decline of 38%, with a box office revenue of $24.36 million.

From 129.13 million in the first week to 24.36 million in the fifth week, Jurassic Park 2 has a very obvious downward trend. However, in five weeks, the cumulative box office of the dinosaur themed sci-fi blockbuster in North America has reached $330.78 million. The weekly income can still maintain 24.36 million, and only 70 million is left from the 400 million threshold.

It is only a matter of time before Jurassic Park 2 can reach the 400 million box office club.

Then, fox produced "dinosaur team" with a cost of 15 million US dollars. Relying on the popularity driven by animation IP, fox made 16.49 million US dollars in the first week, and the total box office of 30 million US dollars is expected to be a good success.

Sylvester Stallone's $90 million partnership with Disney turned judge SWAT into a disaster.

The box office in the first week is lower than that of "dinosaur team", which costs 15 million US dollars. The audience obviously lost interest in Stallone's old-fashioned action films. The box office in the seven days after the film was painted is only 14.13 million US dollars, and the total box office in China is expected to be about 25 million US dollars.

It's like the past.

Sony has just entered Colombia and has been paying tuition fees for several years.

Now, it's Vivendi's turn.

In fact, Vivendi has a chance to stop the project or cut down the production budget after contacting Disney. However, the Frenchman did not do so. Instead, he planned to make himself famous in Hollywood through a blockbuster, so he spared no effort to support it Hold.

The result is a super somersault with broken bones and broken tendons.

It is estimated that the total domestic box office of US $25 million will not even be able to recover the publicity expenses. Even if Stallone's overseas box office appeal is stronger, Disney will not escape the huge loss.

Not only that, the failure of judge SWAT has indirectly affected the two projects that Hollywood is promoting, namely, the game of the brave, which danielis cooperated with Warner Brothers, and the evaporation secret order, which Warner Brothers finalized with Schwarzenegger some time ago.
