Ace Hollywood

Chapter 89: Invest

(5,000 words, the collection has plummeted a lot today, I don’t know if it’s a reader or an advertisement or something. It’s so strange. Thank you Kira for the reward again, and thank you for my new apprentice “Where Am I” brother)

"It's all arranged according to what you said, Danny, I have contacted people inside Walt Disney, and the project you mentioned doesn't seem to be very moving."

After Cusa and Jerry talked, he still did his duty as an agent, and used his own network to inquire about the pirate's live-action movie project that Daniel mentioned, but this project seems to be all inside Disney. Not particularly favored.

"Disney's new attempt, do you think they will make a big splash? What if it fails? How will Esmail and Dick explain to the board of directors?" But it's very important for Disney's film division, they're trying to get out of animation and into the more lucrative live-action segment, and the new projects themselves are drawn from Disneyland, and it's clear that they're in Hesitant and indecisive, so they chose such a safe route. But, you can see who they hired to make this movie, Jerry Bruckheimer. And why did Jerry go next, he In his hand, "Pearl Harbor" is being produced, and "Black Hawk Down" is a big investment project, why would he accept such a movie with an uncertain future."

"Remuneration? Optimistic?" Kusa said two words.

Daniel stretched out his hand and nodded, "Yes, that's all, I don't know if a producer of Jerry's level is classified, but to impress him, Disney must be very generous. Secondly, as far as I know, this movie is , it's really interesting, whether it's the script, the plot, or some of their special effects designs, they're all very attractive, this movie is a big opportunity, Cusa."

Possibly, any person who has been reborn through transmigration can't avoid becoming a magician. In other words, he can't avoid being looked at by Cusa's current eyes.

"Convince me and give me some proof."

That's it, it makes me feel very guilty.

You can't tell him, I'm reborn, I know that "Pirates of the Caribbean" can be a big hit and make us famous.

Leaving aside whether Cusa would believe it, revealing the biggest secret of his life to the public, or just telling another person, Daniel didn't even dare to think about it. He even felt that even if he was put on the head by the gang with a gun, he would not speak out. This life is picked up, you can don't, but if you really anger some unknowable existence, maybe death will become a luxury.

Daniel is still an atheist, but as far as rebirth is concerned, it is difficult for him to rule out the possibility of a supernatural being involved.

So, as far as this matter is concerned, he must be a mute, a mute who will never speak out.

Cusa's searching eyes could only be ignored.

"Daniel, when you played Legolas, you thought so too." Cusa had a headache, "Can you talk about it? Besides, Disney insiders don't know that much about this project. Even knowing the special effects design, this is a bit surprising to me, well, not a bit, I am very surprised, are you Esmail's... illegitimate child?"

Daniel was a little convinced by Cusa's imagination.

"If that's the case, I must say that I didn't need to sign you in the first place."

"You just discovered it recently?"

Daniel propped his forehead, "Kusa, stop kidding me, I don't know Esmail, and he won't know me either. As for my father, he's in that state of life right now—not yet born, growing up. In, or has passed away, I don't know at all."

Kusa spread his hands, but still looked at Daniel again, "Okay, so you still don't plan to tell me your channel? Of course, this is totally fine, I understand, but you have to make sure the channel is credible, And it has a high enough professional reference value. If he sees the wrong project, Daniel, now for you, any opportunity is very important. Whether you can stabilize your position and join the highest group is very critical now, very, very critical. ."

Daniel suddenly wanted to laugh, he looked at Cusa's serious expression, "Melissa never told me that, you are really different. Don't worry, Cusa, my source is very credible. , whether it's The Lord of the Rings trilogy or this Disney one, you'll see the results."

"Okay." Kusa grinned and made a face, "How can that little girl Meili compare to me?"

"Is it?"

Cusa's expression froze on his face, he turned his neck with difficulty, and Melissa looked at him with a gentle smile.

"Cough, just kidding."

Melissa glanced at him and did nothing more. Kusa secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the wall clock.

Two in the afternoon.

It's time for a meeting. Damn, it's too much of a discussion.

After a while, Andy and Fred also came in.

"You have to find a reliable lawyer." Fred was a bit detached in the team, so he spoke more easily, "Although a lawyer is a blood-sucking devil, he can also give a lot of professional advice."

Where they are now is not Daniel's house, but Cusa's house.

It can be seen that there will be some shameful things in this conversation.

"Cusa also understands a bit, then we have to talk about things other than the movie." Daniel sat in the chair of the host, Melissa and Andy, and even Cusa, knew about Fred. Neither is particularly deep.

"Although it's not necessary, I still want to introduce you to you," Daniel gestured to Fred, "Fred, the person in charge of Mountain Eagle Company."

Several of the people present, including Cusa Damon, who just returned, did not show much expression.

But if people outside this place heard this, they would jump up in surprise.

Shanying, an industry data company that has become famous in Hollywood, turned out to be formed by the Daniel Network team.

How to arrange Fred's team, this is something Daniel has been considering. This team is becoming more and more important now. They have mastered the ID resources of many so-called professional websites, and to a certain extent can control the trend of Internet entertainment. They also involve some Gray areas, such as hacking technology, the collection of private information - when the situation is right, it is always beneficial to take it out and fight others. All in all, Daniel's team, which has been built up in pieces, has a huge problem of expansion, which brings an important problem.

Can't live.

The team is so big that the expenditure is so large that Daniel can't use him as a regular tool - such as an assistant or an accountant, it needs to run without discounting those budgets.

And, as teams gain more and more power on the Internet, it becomes difficult to keep them in the dark. They are not a bunch of fanatical hackers who like to do whatever they want where people can't see them, they are just a group of network workers with special hobbies, and they need to have more normal channels to express their sense of accomplishment.

Fred has such a talent to manage such a team, which is very rare, but the things that talent can do are limited, so Daniel has to consider these things.

Setting up a company, and then through some foresighted theories, methods, and even predictions, can enhance Daniel's influence on the team and gain some profits at the same time.

Analysis of the abnormal box office of "Gladiator" is Shanying's latest work, which not only boosted their popularity, but also made a good advertisement for Daniel.

Kusa learned that Shanying's operation was directly commanded by Daniel, and he had to express his admiration for him. This trick is really amazing.

Doing online marketing on the Internet is what Fred's team has been doing. A small part of Universal Pictures' publicity budget belongs to the Internet. In the end, a large part actually flows into Shanying's pocket. With this kind of marketing After a small test, there was an abnormal jump in the box office of "Gladiator" on the first day. This abnormality gave birth to another business of Shanying - market analysis. After Universal Pictures did some work in Shanying Company, contacted They, of course, provided part of the compensation, hoping to eventually influence some conclusions, and the sale of the analysis report also reaped a monetary return. In addition, after Shanying became famous in Hollywood, it means that a lot of jobs will come to you in the later stage.

It's not unreasonable for Fred to be complacent recently. Several of the seven major Hollywood companies have already contacted him, on the one hand for cooperation, and on the other for communication and acquisition.

Large studios and even some authoritative media will gradually have their own analysis power, but Shanying's data collection methods and analysis theories are unique, and they have initially established their own credibility. It's that the general election is a kind of private survey company, the approval rate or something, but Shanying has done it more carefully.

You know, Daniel can tell him all the new technologies he knows about.

What big data, what viral marketing, what fan economy, etc., even if it is just a fur, but the idea is very important, Fred's talent is here, get some clear concepts and definitions from Daniel, and then describe the method and results , Fred can often determine one, two, three, four by himself, so it can only be said that Daniel was lucky and found a treasure.

Some people in the team know about these things, while others are still known only to Daniel and Fred. Today's meeting is not mainly for the operation of Shanying Company.

"Shanying is very important to me, and the Internet will become more and more influential. Although part of the phenomenon of "Gladiator" is deliberately created by us, the trend it represents is conceivable. The attraction of this tool is very It will soon be discovered by everyone. We took a step first, but it does not mean that we will always be ahead. Therefore, Shanying was established, on the one hand, because of revenue and expenditure, and on the other hand, we hope that after Shanying enters the market, it can always maintain sensitivity and lead."

"As for the other thing, Evan Williams, the founder of Pray Company, said blogger, you may be more intuitive, this company is very prosperous now, but it is about to go bankrupt." Daniel said here, seize the opportunity to give Its left and right arms spread the spirit of the Internet, "This kind of social platform is like this, don't look at it's very good momentum, but in fact, the better the momentum, the faster it will die, why? Because it can't find its own way to make money, the more users, the more The bigger the outlay, the more likely it will be unsustainable.”

"Evan was sensitive to the impact of my fans buying tickets online, and he saw this as an opportunity to save bloggers from Google's clutches. He contacted Fred to discuss the issue, and Fred gave me a tip. With a proposal, we can get involved with blogger, which is a valuable platform and a promising project even purely commercially."

"How do you see it?" Cusa said this, a little lazy, "Didn't Evan say that he can't support it? How can it be seen that it is a promising project?"

Fred glanced at Daniel's and began to answer this after getting a signal, "I discussed it with Danny, and Danny came up with some creative ideas, which I think are very feasible, you may not know, the Internet world What is happening, the number of netizens is skyrocketing, and their willingness to express and participate is very strong, how to use this to seek benefits is simply the obligation of our generation of Internet people."

Speaking of this, Fred let out a bit of fanaticism.

Melissa and Andy stared, indicating that they were listening, while Cusa lazily wrote down something in the notebook.

"I believe that these operational ideas and some of the funds will surely impress Evan, which provides us with a wonderful opportunity to get involved in this thriving platform."

Daniel took over, "I and Mark, oh my friend, work at Google, we discussed, Google is very optimistic about the blog platform, but they don't have any way to make the blog itself realize the function of hematopoietic, this is Evan The most hesitant part of Williams is that Google will use his own money to support the blog until they find a way to keep him alive, which sounds good, but Evan thinks it's ridiculous, in case one day Google I'm in a predicament myself, and the blog is just abandoned. Evan hopes to be self-sustaining now, even if he can't make money."

"It sounds like this is your investment behavior," Cusa looked at Daniel disapprovingly, "I don't think we should be the one to hold the meeting, you have to find an investment manager."

Daniel certainly thought about this.

"The specific investment behavior, of course, will be done by others." Daniel looked at Cusa, "but you have to understand these and the Internet, so there is no harm in participating. Cusa, don't pretend that I have added workload to you. Are you looking good? I won't give you a raise."

"You really know me."

"Come on, you must know that I remember your revenge."

Daniel gave him a roll of eyes, "If we really set foot in this line of business, then we must take all these factors into consideration when considering my affairs."

"So, you've decided to take a shot, haven't you?" Kusana put the pen against his chin, "You're such an energetic young man, but do you have enough money? I know you've recently earned By the way, you have a lot of business activities recently, it is time for one or two endorsements, but don’t overexpose, the audience will be aesthetically fatigued.”

"After "Gladiator", my films won't be released until next summer at the earliest. What is the aesthetic fatigue? How many people do you think can see my business activities? As for newspapers, when did I leave from there?"

Cusa was speechless.

"But you're right, it's really impossible for me to invest all my money in blogging, so David will also get involved and we'll invest together."

"Oh, I forgot, you also have a brother who just made a fortune - more than 30 million, which is indeed enough for you to be willful."

"I don't need that much, and I didn't plan to buy them all for him."

The meeting was a bit anticlimactic. Except for Fred who became more bloody, the other three were not very impressed.

Daniel felt that he really should find an investment manager. Cusa was his agent, not his partner--oh, maybe, he could be his partner.

This has to be considered from a long-term perspective~www.novelmt.com~ Shanying's investment blog platform is very convincing. They attach great importance to Internet data, so it is only natural that blogs with high activity will be noticed by them. So Fred and his financial staff will make contact with Evan, and the specific negotiations have to be done by them. As for Daniel, he was touched by the blog and was in close communication with Mark recently.

Now Mark still blesses the character of programmers, but after Google has made a splash, he also has a feeling of opening his eyes to see the world.

As for the idea proposed by Daniel, he is brewing. The proposal of an idea does not mean that it can be implemented immediately, and now is not a race against time in fifteen years. The Internet is changing rapidly. If you don't do an idea, someone else may do it next time. It is not so severe now, and practitioners do not have this awareness.

Even if Mark makes a decision, he has to evaluate it in terms of technology, investment, market, etc. When the results come out, it is estimated that it will be next year.

……

Fred was full of energy to fight, and Daniel and Cusa talked about his "job" work.

How to win "Pirates of the Caribbean"?

In the past, there was no way to fight and snatch. When you have a relationship, you have no way, you can only get what you want by going from the bottom up, or even supplemented by media blowing and other means. But it's different now. From the producer Walt Disney, from the director -- the director should not be determined yet, from the producer, that is, Jerry Bruckheimer and others, to get this opportunity from the beginning .

Let others play tricks, sometimes it also represents one's own coffee position.
