Chapter 763: fuse

Chapter 763
During the Christmas period, the last batch of new films in Hollywood began to be released in 1995. At this time, because of various purposes, the literary films of the Oscars were released in the coming year. Under the control of the behind-the-scenes film company, the entertainment media will always be very lively. ≦
But this year, the media atmosphere of this kind of public relations is much colder. In the nominated list of the 53rd Film and Television Golden Globe Awards, "Forrest Gump" has won seven important nominations such as the best film, best director and best actor.
In the case of "Forrest Gump" has taken a series of large and small pre-award awards, if the Golden Globe Awards are divided into two major categories: plot and comedy, some movies may even Will directly give up the public relations of the awards, even so, in order to avoid confrontation with "Forrest Gump" in the Golden Globe Awards, some drama films even squeezed into the category of music and drama, so it also caused a lot of media blame.
When ordinary people enjoyed the holidays, Hollywood, brewing for a few months, MGM began to consciously release the news of "Royal Casino oo7", when I heard that Eric Williams will personally direct this oo7 sequel At the time, many people’s first reaction would even think that others were joking. Eric Williams was too lazy to direct the sequel to the Jurassic Park series. How could it take more than 30 shots? The old-fashioned agent series of the year, after all, in the eyes of the insiders, the oo7 series has been turned over and over, so there are so many routines. It is really impossible to play too many tricks. If it is purely as an audience, it may still be a hot scene and glamorous The state girl gets some fun, but if it is a director, then the job can only be described as boring.
However, as the news spreads more and more, it is getting more and more heads.
... Eric Williams talks with oo7 series producer Barbara Bullock at the Sharp Corner Estate Party.
... The next oo7 will shoot Ian Fleming's last "Royal Casino" that has not been screened.
... MGM began a secret contact with the Charlie's threesome.
... The 18th oo7 will fully open the MGM movie universe.
... The three major brokerage companies began to frequently test MGM's progress on the oo7 project in an attempt to gain more role share.
......
This series of scattered details has gradually proved that perhaps Eric Williams really wants to personally direct the next oo7.
Immediately, the savvy media quickly seized the news and began to dig deeper.
However, "Royal Casino oo7" is still in the stage of script modification. After releasing some news, in order to properly maintain the mystery of the series and maintain sufficient topicality, MGM has been password-protected internally and up and down. Without any confirmation or comment on the external news, the media public relations department is only very formulaic to indicate that the project is still in the process of preparation, and everything has not yet been finalized.
Similarly, Barbara Brockley, the current helm of the oo7 series, is a woman who does not like public appearances. The media reporters did not get more news from her, but Barbara Brockley also served. The series producer's brother Michael Wilson is just the opposite. It is a guy who likes the limelight. Soon, the vast media reporters confirmed from Michael Wilson in London, England, Eric Williams will indeed serve Director of "The Royal Casino of oo7".
The news burst open.
It was released from the 1993 Jurassic Park and created the world's $100 million box office miracle. It has been more than two years since then.
Because Eric’s next movie has been delayed, the Eric will give up the news that the film will be directed behind the scenes. In the past two years, the group has relied on Victoria’s Secret Annual Show. Rise, lietime TV station relies on two reality shows, the integration of MGM, Flower Pictures and DreamWorks, and the continued strong film business of the Firefly Group, all of which prove the reliability of this view in the media.
Although the general public has noticed less and less Eric’s news, in Hollywood, even in the emerging Internet industry, even in the unrelated clothing industry, Eric’s presence is still so strong, its impact. Even the power did not stop at all.
In the year of 1995, Hollywood is still a productive year. With the last two weeks of the Christmas season, Hollywood’s total box office has reached a new high of $6.5 billion.
The Firefly Group relied solely on the five films "Jurassic Park 2", "Donely Day", "Toy Story 2", "The Jedi" and "1o1 Dalmatian", and they madly harvested as much as 1o. In the box office of 100 million US dollars, the Firefly Group has produced 18 films in several major brands throughout the year. Although the production has been significantly reduced compared with the previous two years, the cumulative box office of 18 films has still reached 1.39 billion, and the global box office share is even more. Amazing scale of $2.7 billion.
According to the statistics agency, the total size of the global box office market in 1995 was only about 17.5 billion US dollars. Therefore, only one company of the Firefly Group has occupied 15.4% of the global movie market box office share, although Hollywood movies are strong in the world. It is a well-known thing, but a company will divide the 15.4% share of the global box office market, and it can only be described as terror.
And behind all this, there is no doubt that the young man who is miraculous from the beginning of his debut is in control.
With the elaboration of the topic, the news that Eric will personally direct the "Royal Casino of oo7" has become a fuse, and the interest of the people gradually cooling him down again.
The media is always able to grasp the trend with great enthusiasm. As the popularity of this topic increases, they also begin to provide more information for their reading or audience.
Most people are interested in things that are superficial. Last year, Forbes magazine made a $46.5 billion valuation of Eric Williams’s net worth. This valuation not only made him behind. The rich can only look up and make many people who see this data feel numb. After all, ordinary people can't imagine what the $46.5 billion in assets represent.
Although they don't know the huge energy of huge wealth, they still have a very strong curiosity about Eric's net worth this year, so the media also began to relish the assets owned or held by Eric.
A map of the Firefly business empire network that appeared in Business Week, which caused a lot of media magazines to be reprinted, also frequently talked about various types of media in the following months.
In this issue of Business Weekly, the details of the two major business networks of Eric's name, Firefly Group and Firefly Investment, are fully presented to the world.
The Firefly Group does not have to say that this Hollywood's largest media group owns the Disney Group, ab Group, Firefly Film Company, Pixar Animation Company, New Line Film Company, Firefly Records, Bo Wei International, Digital Domain Special Effects, Marvel Entertainment and a series of high-quality entertainment companies, last year, the relevant agencies have already made a valuation of 50 billion US dollars for the Firefly Group, and this year, with the excellent growth rate of the Firefly Group, according to the annual growth rate of The standard, its valuation once again broke through a new high, reaching $6.5 billion. Only this one, Eric Williams, who owns about 73% of the Firefly Group, will receive $4.7 billion in assets, compared to last year’s entire net worth. The valuation is still more than 500 million US dollars.
The scale of the subsequent firefly investment company has made many people stunned.
After a detailed investigation by the reporters of Business Weekly, this company has always appeared to be an obscure investment company since its inception. At this time, the shares of high-quality companies are far beyond the imagination of most people.
have a look.
Yahoo! Networks, the first portal in the Internet industry, has been deserved in the Internet industry in recent years, with a valuation of over $500 million and a firefly investment of 8o%.
Cisco, a large network equipment company, currently has a market capitalization of US$2.6 billion. After nearly a year of large-scale increase, Firefly Investment holds 26%.
AOL, an emerging Internet service provider, is about to enter the NASDAQ market in January next year. The current valuation is close to $500 million, and Firefly Investment holds a share.
The ltd Group, which owns Victoria's Secret and other famous Neiyi fashion brands, has risen to the current market value of 5.9 billion US dollars for the second consecutive year of Victoria's secret annual show, and Firefly Investment holds 35%.
Nokia, a Finnish-based mobile communications equipment company, achieved sales of 7 million mobile phones in 1995. Firefly Investment holds 51% of the shares and has an absolute controlling stake.
t, a well-known telecom operator, has a nationwide mobile operation network, and Firefly Investment holds 1% of shares.
Qualcomm, the latest rising mobile communication technology company, has a large number of technical patents for third-generation digital communication technology, and has received support from mobile operators such as t, ve, and zon, and Firefly Investment holds 4%.

Although most traditional investors believe that the risk of investing in high-tech companies is huge, because these companies generally need to invest a large amount of research funds each year to maintain their technological leadership, and if they are not paying attention, they may be reversed by their peers and will decline rapidly. However, with the rise of the Nasdaq index, which is dominated by high-tech stocks, and the rise of the Internet and mobile communication technology industries in the past two years, not many people will doubt the prospects of these emerging industries.
As a result, these high-tech companies owned by Firefly Investment have doubled their valuations and share prices in recent years.
For example, Yahoo! Networks, a high-tech company with popular network products such as Yahoo Portal and Yahoo Mail, has invested less than $600 million in firefly investment in recent years, but according to its current market estimates. Value, if the firefly investment is willing to let go, it will definitely get a 1o times premium income.
Although these companies owned by Firefly Investment are not able to compete with the huge Firefly Group, they are almost always the leader in the relevant industry. It is conceivable that with the rapid development of the high-tech industry, these will be in the next few years. The company may even produce a single company's market value, the more the Firefly Group's Big Mac.
Therefore, by then, Eric Williams's net worth will reach a more jaw-dropping level.
Such a business miracle, born to a young man who is still under 30 years old, has caused a strong sense of powerlessness in many people's hearts.
In the wave of slogans, Eric pushed a lot of invitations to interview the media and continued to live his life step by step.
