From the faces of the heads of departments at all levels such as Jose, Landley, Mayer and Schneider at Universal, one can see optimistic estimates for the movie The Bourne Bourne. A few days ago, Shanying has raised its North American box office forecast to 140 million in the last data adjustment before the screening, which is 20 million higher than the pre-estimated amount, and the global total box office has also reached 320 million. .

The forecast was adjusted based on "the significant increase in the popularity of the main cast and crew, the increased recognition of the film's audience, and routine surveys show that the size of the young people who plan to watch the film, that is, the group of 17 to 21 years old, has increased significantly. The young and middle-aged group (25-35 years old) of the film group also increased slightly. In addition, the female film viewing group also increased to a large extent. This trend shows that the publicity work of "Bourne Bourne" has gained Important results, significantly expanding the potential audience. Therefore, Shanying decided to increase its North American box office forecast to 140 million US dollars. In addition, the film has also increased publicity budgets and distribution costs worldwide, and starring Daniel · **** recently won the best actor at the Cannes Film Festival, which is expected to increase the global distribution of "Bourne Bourne" to a considerable extent, thus increasing the global box office to 320 million. "

Daniel now has a detailed forecast in his hand.

Shanying's forecasting mechanism has been tested by more than a dozen movies, as well as continuous self-improvement, coupled with in-depth cooperation with Internet companies such as Google, Yahoo, and blogger, as well as TV newspapers and media such as ABC and Los Angeles Times. The forecast report of the upcoming movies in the next quarter has become the most trusted forecast report in Hollywood, and it has become a common practice to set aside relevant budgets for the purchase of detailed reports in the distribution budgets of major distributors.

However, Mr. Fred, the company's CEO, rarely appears in the public eye, and most of the affairs are basically approached by the spokesperson. The fast-rising analytics firm has received several acquisition deals. Among them, Walt Disney's offer is the most impressive, and two plans proposed by Disney, including a wholly-owned acquisition price of 470 million US dollars. The second option is to buy 51% of the shares for $200 million, but allow the original management, including Fred, to continue to make decisions about the company.

Similar pre-acquisition cases have been reported in the financial media, and many industry insiders believe that if Shanying accepts investment from giants in the film industry, it will inevitably damage its impartiality and be detrimental to the company's development. Therefore, it is a better choice for Shanying to accept neutral funds such as TV networks and major analytical institutions without a consortium background.

Of course, Fred and Daniel have had many rounds of discussions on the matter.

The two people's opinions are not completely consistent.

Fred does not agree with accepting investment. He believes that the company's technical reserves in the fields of evaluation algorithms, big data mining, data analysis and other fields are actually quite advanced and have great investment potential. Accepting investment at present may be detrimental to the company's long-term development. and existing plans. However, Daniel believes that Shanying's technological leadership in related fields is difficult to maintain among those giants in Silicon Valley, so the introduction of funds that can update and upgrade technology will help Shanying maintain its priority. In fact, if MB's financial pressure is not considered, it is a good choice for MB to invest in Shanying.

However, this debate is not particularly intense. As the absolute controlling party of the company, Daniel has the right to decide. However, the daily operations and planning implementation of Shanying Company are all carried out by Fred. Even, among the senior executives of Shanying Company, there are no more than three people who know that Daniel's investment company is the controlling party of the company, so they skip Fred. Making decisions is very bad for the company.

This is the drawback of entrusting the management of the company to others, but out of energy considerations, Daniel still intends to trust Fred, and the corresponding financial and legal executives in the company, Daniel is also in his hands, and the specific operations are still respected Fred. This is not the same as MircoBlog. After developing MB based on the blogger public forum, Daniel's positioning and expectations for this promising new social media are quite large, so he has to spend more time on company decision-making, Javier As the CEO of the company, there is also an ad hoc board of directors. Daniel influences the company's decision-making and provides development strategies through the board of directors. This is unavoidable, and Javier obviously does not have this vision.

Taking back the divergent thoughts, there are too many things, and it is always difficult to separate them one by one. From one thing to another, it is sometimes a waste of time.

When "The Bourne" came out at the box office on the first day, Daniel was watching the final cut version of "My Great Greek Wedding" with David at DD Films.

"3,211 screens on the first day, 17.43 million box office on the first day, and more than 5,300 for a single screen."

Daniel nodded and hung up Andy's phone. His personal phone number was left with Andy. There must be a lot of calls today, but it's actually meaningless. Although communication is essential, Daniel doesn't need to be particularly concerned at this time. For these things, Daniel naturally needs to call people at the level of Schneider and Mayer later, but for ordinary people, there is no need for this, and the other party just wants to leave an impression on him - yes, that will Well, I also congratulated you - but for the sake of seeing more topics in the future.

The first part of "Bourne Bourne", Daniel remembers that it did not have this achievement, and the number of screenings may not be more than 3,000 yuan. With reference to the standards of other Universal films, it can be roughly estimated that if it wasn't for his accident, the most Should only be around 2500. And it doesn't mean that the number of screens decreases, the box office will automatically increase for a single contribution. Without this good thing, the number of viewers in UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is consistent with the popularity. Usually, the screen is added because the cinema predicts that the number of viewers is enough. However, maintaining the conventional screen means that they need to adjust the subsequent screenings by observing the box office of a single screen.

The main actor has such an influence on the film, and it is conceivable that he is sought after by major producers.

Daniel is obviously not ready for this yet. He has always been short of scripts and invitations. But after today, everything will change. There is a priority that will be highlighted. He will be the first choice of producers among most candidates, and he will be eligible to take the initiative to request the opportunities he sees. - This is power.

Andy's phone called again soon after.

David glared at him. Since he came over, the phone has not stopped. Andy, Cussa, Melissa—although he said that there is nothing important to disturb him today, but everyone's things are very important.

Andy wants to report the box office on the first day, and Cusa is talking about "Fake God" for him - Universal is rumored to abandon Jim Carrey, but now Daniel's worth has also increased, and Cusa needs to follow up. As for Melissa, endorsement offers and commercial activities come from a variety of channels, including strongmen outside Hollywood—such as a California senator.

"OK, the last one, definitely the last one."

Yes, Daniel is right, this is indeed the last one, because he left DD Pictures immediately and returned home.
