On July 30, the summer program began to close. This week, as many as seven films landed in North American theaters. However, four of them were all within 300 yuan in size. An Italian art film "four love stories" released by gaomen pictures only gave 11 screen sizes.
The three mainstream commercial films with a screen size of more than 1000 are MGM's paradise traveler, fox's Robin Hood is crazy and Columbia's naked surprise.
"Passer by in heaven" is starred by Robert Downey Jr. it tells the story of a car accident that makes the hero Tommy surrounded by four ghosts. Obviously, it is following the trend of "the ghost is still alive". The film has 1263 screens.
"Robin Hood is also crazy" is a spoof Robin Hood theme film, obviously also in the follow-up two years ago, Kevin Costner's big sale of "Robin Hood", the number of screen painting 1275.
"Naked surprise" is a project similar to "instinct" that Madonna personally promoted to Simon last year. The selling point of the film is the large-scale performance of Queen Mai, and the number of screen opening is more than the other two commercial films, reaching 2070.
In the box office week from July 30 to August 5, the box office of new films released in the last two weeks is very average. However, Sony's recent market value is only about 17 billion US dollars.
Peter Cooper was fired by Sony two years earlier than Simon remembered. In the original time and space, it was only in 1995 that Sony finally stopped letting go of Columbia Pictures.
Simon knows the real write down amount of Sony's assets, which is $2.7 billion.
When Sony bought Columbia Pictures, it offered only $3.4 billion for the equity of the big studio, and assumed $1.6 billion in debt, with a total transaction value of $5 billion. In recent years, Sony has invested no less than $1 billion to settle various legal disputes and meet the capital needs of Columbia Pictures.
The $2.7 billion write down is almost equivalent to clearing more than half of Columbia Pictures' assets.
Because of this failure, Akio Morita completely lost control of Sony, and died a few years later.
This time, obviously influenced by the entertainment of Simon and Denise, something has changed.
However, Sony's big fall in Columbia Pictures will not change.
Just this summer, Columbia Pictures will lose more than US $200 million in a series of projects. In a few years, this big studio has been greatly damaged by Peter Cooper and John Peters. It is expected that Sony's next asset write down figures will not be much lower than Simon's memory.
In fact, this incident also sounded an alarm for Simon.
It doesn't mean that if you provide some people with enough funds, enough trust, enough space to play, they will receive returns.
If you do this rashly, you may get a mess.
The scale of the westero system is becoming larger and larger. If you want to continue to expand your business empire, decentralization is necessary. However, the result of decentralization without restriction is likely to be disastrous.
In the dining room of shell villa, while reading the newspaper in the morning, she talked about her ideas with Janet beside her. The woman exaggerated a few times: "I understand, I understand."
Janet is actually Simon's eye on westrow.
"What's the problem?" Simon said with a smile
"No," said Janet, shaking her head and glancing at the man, "do you want my aunt to come over and take care of something for you? Don't worry, I won't let you succeed. "
“……”
Wrinkling her little nose, Janet wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin after eating the last breakfast specially prepared by the nutritionist. She came over and gave Simon a kiss on the face, and said with a smile, "have a good time in San Francisco today, and don't have to come back in the evening. Well, you can tell Jennie that you want to come back, and I'll help you with your lie. "
Simon carefully put the next Janet on her lap, gently touched the woman's bulging belly, didn't pick up the words, and said, "would you like to join the UK next week?"
After several months of preparation, Nokia will be officially listed on the London Stock Exchange next Friday.
Janet put her arms around Simon's neck and put her face on Simon's head: "I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to stay at home."
Simon thought about it and said, "in that case, I won't go."
"Go ahead. It's boring to be around pregnant women all day."
"It's really boring and troublesome."
"Well, bite you."
Feeling that his ear was bitten by two rows of small teeth for a moment, Simon said, "after this month, I'll put down my work as much as possible to accompany you on maternity leave."
Janet helped Simon rub the shallow teeth on his ears and said, "you have no credibility with me, workaholic."
"This time, we must take Moore back to take care of him for a period of time. We can't let him not even know his parents."Janet didn't mention Veronica on purpose this time. With a shallow hum, she leaned her head on Simon's shoulder and talked for a while. It was nearly nine o'clock before Simon left home and rushed to the airport to fly to San Francisco.
At ten o'clock, we arrived at igritte's headquarters, where several executives were already waiting for Simon.
Today we will focus on a new project, classified information website, which is about to be launched by igrit.
This is a key project in igritte's recent expansion plan after the completion of the last $1.5 billion financing.
There are many classified information websites in Simon's memory, such as 58 Tongcheng, Ganji, Renmin, etc.
Since there are so many classified information websites, it shows the commercial potential of this website type.
In the original time and space, different from the hundred schools of thought in China's classified information websites, there is only one "Craig catalog" in North America, showing a nearly monopolistic state. However, unlike many classified information websites in China, Craig catalog is almost free. It is this free model that gives it a super monopoly advantage.
Moreover, the suggestion of classified information website has been put forward by some people in igritte for a long time.
It's just that Simon deliberately pushed it down, and it's only now that it's started. Some time ago, Simon asked people to apply for the subsidiary brand of "58list" and the corresponding independent website according to his memory.
Among them, 58 naturally refers to 58 cities, which is a small evil taste of Simon.
The main reason why the project has been suppressed to the present is that starting the project will touch a huge cake of tens of billions of dollars.
As we all know, the paper media in the United States is very developed in this era. From world-class metropolises like New York and Los Angeles to remote fishing towns, they often have their own newspapers.
The American public also has a very common habit of subscribing to newspapers.
In the huge paper media industry, most newspapers have a lot of classified information advertisements such as "Recruitment" and "rental", which often account for about half of a newspaper's total revenue.
At the present stage, the revenue of the federal paper media industry in classified information advertising reaches more than 20 billion US dollars every year.
Now, once the free classified information website of igrit portal is launched, most users will be able to publish all kinds of classified information advertisements on the Internet without spending any money. It can be imagined that once this online business develops, it will have a strong impact on the existing classified information advertising business of paper media platform.
