Chapter 1086: 1092

With an excellent script, Hollywood insists on writing, directing and acting by itself. There are many film makers who have become famous. Stallone is one of the most legendary. Unfortunately, Peter Berg is not among them.

Not only that, this one is a big hole in Hollywood.

In history, Peter Borg's first self-made and self directed work "bad things" ended in failure, which did not stop the "rise" of this naturally racially gifted filmmaker in Hollywood. Over the years, he has directed more than 10 films, many of which are blockbusters of big investment and production.

However, with the exception of Hancock, starred by Will Smith at his peak, other films have basically failed, such as super battleship, deep-sea catastrophe, and even some big budget films such as jungle Rangers and bloodstained kingdom that didn't impress the audience at all.

Simon, however, loves this kind of filmmaker.

As long as you can't find yourself.

At this moment, hearing Peter Borg's confident offer, Simon was not displeased at all. On the contrary, Bole saw a thousand Li Ma's expression of regret for talent, and resolutely agreed: "no problem, Peter, I've seen the outline of the script of bad things at breakfast. It's a great story."

Peter Berger obviously didn't expect Simon to be so straightforward. He was a little stunned before he subconsciously said, "but Mr. westrow, Mr. Morris once talked to me. He thinks I'm a novice..."

Simon interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Peter, I'm the boss. In this way, I think that if bad things is done well, it's very promising to go to the Oscars. Therefore, it can be put under the banner of gaomen film and let Ella be responsible."

Oscar?

Peter Berger was once again surprised and unavoidably excited that if his project could hit the Oscars, even the nomination would be enough for him to become famous in Hollywood.

It's just that this good thing seems to come a little easier?

Simon saw that Peter Berger didn't know how to react for a moment, so he changed the subject skillfully: "but, Peter, if you want to direct in person? For the sake of risk, the budget must be controlled within $10 million, and the actors must be decided by us."

That's normal.

Simon's voice fell? Even Robert Redford, who was in the audience, thought so.

Peter Borg immediately felt that things were back to normal, but he immediately said, "Mr. westrow? 10 million dollars is too little. Frankly speaking, several other studios that are interested in bad things have more than 10 million budgets."

"Money may be very important for a movie, but it's never a decisive factor. Peter, the catcher of the heart has only a budget of 10 million dollars. How much do the audience like this movie now? So? Collaborators are the key? Denise can help you make a great movie? At the same time, it can be successfully put to market? That's the most important thing. "

So Simon was really worried that Peter Berg would agree on the spot, so he said, "well, think about it, Peter. I'm looking forward to your good news."

Simon said, deliberately ignoring Peter Berg and turning his attention to Robert Redford.

The goal must have been achieved.

Surrounded by guests? Simon didn't keep his voice down just now? He compared "bad stuff" with "mind catcher", which has been on sale recently. I don't believe that other Hollywood studios will take the lead.

The noon reception lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon.

Simon stayed until the end, patiently communicating with all the filmmakers on the scene? At the end of the reception, he was about to leave, and was stopped again by Natasha Richardson, who had a chat at the beginning of the reception.

"Simon, I think you should apologize to me."

Just after whispering girl a's attitude to Ella doechman about bad things, Simon heard Natasha Richardson's sudden words and asked with a smile, "why?"

Natasha Richardson stares at Simon: "you said I'll die skiing again, this It's ridiculous. "

Simon said, "well, I'm sorry, nata."

Natasha Richardson's melancholy continued: "but Simon, you've ruined my hobby. Even if you take it back now, I won't dare to ski any more."

"It sounds very serious," Simon said slightly. "So, don't you work on Broadway? Next time you go to New York to invite you to dinner, it's compensation, OK?"

Natasha Richardson was stunned. Is this direct or perfunctory? Even so, her tone was a little softer unconsciously: "Simon, this is too insincere."

Simon raised his arm, put on the windbreaker handed over by girl a, and said with a smile, "dinner is just the beginning. We can seriously discuss more compensation then."

Feeling some hateful elements in a man's smile, Natasha Richardson subconsciously shook her head: "I didn't mean that. I mean, who knows if you remember it next time you go to New York? Can't you, um, not tonight?""I'm sorry, I can't tonight, but I have a lot of things to do."

Natasha Richardson saw that Simon's tone was serious, and the man didn't investigate some ambiguity in her words, so she had to agree.

Simon is really busy.

After the noon reception, there was another film forum in park city. This time, it had nothing to do with Sundance. It was an exchange project jointly sponsored by several major Hollywood studios. Many filmmakers would participate, and Simon also chose to attend. In the evening, it was also a fashion party held by CK brand of melisandro.

Even if he has some spare time, Simon's eyes are on the film festival.

People have collected a lot of film materials planned to be shown at the festival. Most of them are just a page of simple posters. When he has a little leisure during the ride or waiting, Simon will look through them in order to pick up the leaks and discover "new people".

Because there is so much information in my mind, it's easy to find many familiar names. Unfortunately, they are all small characters. However, there is a trend. This year, there are many more films using digital cameras.

That being the case, we can try to copy some of the previous projects, such as "the witch Blair" and "ghost record", which create miracles with small and broad records.

At the same time, on the evening of January 19, apart from the core software services and advertising business, igritte's business that attracted the most attention in 1996 was undoubtedly e-commerce.

After several years of solid foundation, Alice Ferguson's Amazon mall expanded more aggressively in 1996. It not only continued to build warehousing and logistics centers across the United States, but also began to introduce more external businesses. The variety of goods on the website also increased significantly to meet the shopping needs of more consumers.

In addition, Amazon's European and Asian sites have also developed by leaps and bounds.

Compared with the overall 63% annual growth of igritte, Amazon's revenue growth is also at the top of igritte's many businesses, reaching 103%, with a turnover of US $11.6 billion, accounting for 34% of the whole igritte's annual revenue.

Seeing this figure for the first time, the first reaction of some spectators who are familiar with the industry is "water".

Because retail industry, like automobile, electronic products and other fields, is very easy to obtain huge revenue.

Just like Wal Mart, the retail giant's current revenue volume has reached 100 billion US dollars. In sharp contrast to its revenue, Wal Mart's net profit margin is only about 3%, far less than that of the software service industry, which can reach 20%.

Igrit's positioning is a new technology company. It is reasonable to say that the source of revenue should be the software and services business with very high net profit rate. Now, taking the rapidly expanding online retail revenue as the revenue is suspected to be adulterated?

However, after the initial doubt, most people were shocked and frightened in the twinkling of an eye.

Ten billion!

Amazon online mall was launched at the beginning of 1992. It's just five years since now.

It's a miracle to develop an online shopping business from zero to US $10 billion in five years. After all, only US $10 billion in revenue is enough to occupy a top position in Fortune 500.

Who can guarantee that a company with a revenue level of 10 billion US dollars can be made in five years, no matter what kind?

In this way, even if it's retail, how can it be!

What's more, when Alice Ferguson introduced more detailed data, many spectators inside and outside the press conference also found the differences.

The revenue of the e-commerce department is 11.6 billion US dollars, of which 10.3 billion US dollars comes from Amazon's online retail, accounting for 88%, which is indeed a high proportion. However, another 1.3 billion US dollars comes from the Commission, storage, logistics and other revenue collected by the platform from third-party sellers.

This is not included in the advertising revenue separately counted as another core business of igrit.

Since it is in the early stage of development, in order to attract third-party buyers, Amazon charges very low fees for sales commission, storage logistics and other services. It is totally operating at a loss through its own premium. Therefore, this revenue only accounts for about 15% of the third-party seller's sales, even including the seller's advertising expenses, it is less than 20%.

This also means that in just two or three years, the sales volume of third-party sellers in Amazon online mall has rapidly reached 8.6 billion US dollars, and the growth rate is faster than that of self operated sales.

The $8.6 billion in sales, according to igritte's official calculation, not counting the increasing number of employees in Amazon mall itself, conservatively estimated that it has created 50000 new jobs for the Federation.

This data is naturally a part of the key publicity of this press conference.

At the same time, Alice also announced that igritte will further promote the platform of Amazon online mall to attract more third-party sellers. It plans to reduce its own sales business to less than 30% in the next 10 years, focusing on supporting third-party buyers, and it is expected that this will bring no less than 1 million jobs to the Federation.There has been a real performance as a support, no one can easily suspect that igritte is painting a big pie.

As the press conference continued, in addition to the dazzling financial data, onlookers also gradually realized the purpose of igritte's holding the press conference. Igritte once again publicized the importance of his company to all aspects of the federal society.

Of course, most people can't know the potential game behind this, but there are also some people who want to go astray to other aspects.

Such as the antitrust investigation that igritte is facing.

When the thinking turns to this point, some things will suddenly come to light. Igritte's high-profile financial report press conference is likely to put pressure on Washington.

The subtext is simple.

If you're going to split igritt, it's likely that millions of potential jobs will disappear.

Further, for example, the fastest growth rate creates the most employment in e-commerce. If there are politicians and congressmen in the authorities who support the split of igritte, or which state pursues the antitrust investigation of igritte, then, unfortunately, your logistics center is gone, and the associated employment is gone. The end result is that some people's votes are gone.
