Near noon, Andy just took a helicopter back to his old nest, little Versailles Palace. Sitting in the luxurious living room, he was satisfied, enjoying his coffee in a good mood and reading today's newspaper.

"If the box office is less than 90 million in the first weekend, there will be no sequels!" Andy Smith. "

"The incredible iron man!"

"Interesting summer box office bomb."

"It's a shivering and innovative movie that gives people a pleasant feeling of watching movies. This is what superhero movies lack at present!"

Not only the major newspapers are reporting on the highlights of iron man, but also the harsh critics are generous to praise this time. On the IMDB website, 7655 netizens scored 8.4 points and 94% of rotten tomato websites were highly praised, which also proved the position of this entertainment blockbuster in the eyes of the audience.

Not only did it win high public praise, but last night's North American premiere, with 4105 theaters, ranked ninth in movie history. The premiere box office has reached more than 30 million US dollars. It should be easy to break the billion dollar in three days.

As a matter of fact, iron man, with a production cost of about 150 million US dollars and a publicity cost of 75 million US dollars, swept the box office of 104 million US dollars in three days over the weekend, becoming the North American box office champion of this weekend, and quickly became a hot box office in summer, which also put a lot of pressure on the next ten films. Many of the sequels of famous families began to headache And "Iron Man" collided, and "Iron Man" profound influence has just revealed...

There is no doubt that "Iron Man" is the first film with a box office turnover of more than 100 million dollars in 2008. Its timely arrival has swept the haze of North American box office. In the ranking of box office revenue of the first weekend in film history, iron man ranks eighth with a start of 100 million dollars.

At present, the overseas revenue of the weekend is US $96.75 million, plus the local revenue, the global box office revenue is US $201 million, and the global box office is more than 200 million in the three days of release. Marvel, the first Du Li film production company, is happy to make progress.

Not only will the sequel of iron man be announced immediately, but it also marks the future of the thousands of other Marvel superheroes.

And all the media and Hollywood studios have to marvel at Andy Smith's talent brain, and Marvel's market value has soared to four billion dollars.

Of course, in order to get the most out of the box office, Andy let Robert Downey, the little fish turned over, and Kate Beckinsale, the little pepper who had a secret tryst with him for in-depth treatment these two days, started the national running publicity.

Andy's original words to them are, "run down 100 promotions, and the second one can increase your pay and the upper limit of your pay!"

After all, Andy set up a tough contract in order to prevent Downey Jr. from exploding and asking for the same price as before. Don't say that he is grateful for what he knows, but he is full of bullshit in front of benefits. When "Iron Man 3", Downey won not only 50 million movie pay but also dividends, and almost controlled the whole cast.

Although there is also an increasing pay clause, how can Jian cheat Andy and let others take advantage of it. Since he didn't pay Downey half a million dollars, which was obviously a bully, he naturally didn't accept Downey's idea of starting from the ground. Controllable is his favorite rhythm.

The success of iron man has made the whole Hollywood know that Andy Smith's position here is becoming more and more solid. He has become a real Hollywood tycoon. As long as he can make money, there will be many people around him.

Paramount's big boss called in the first time at the box office, chatting with Andy to consolidate the relationship, and other big players hope to have a share in Marvel's superheroes.

The most greedy and ambitious is undoubtedly Disney who wants to become a big Mac. They tried to contact Andy very early and proposed to buy Marvel group, but the ingredients of the trial were very large. But when they saw marvel, which has been turned into gold by lighting stones, Disney couldn't sit still.

Kevin Meyer, then Disney's chief strategy officer, told the board members and the CEOs of the subsidiaries on Monday that Marvel group is important for him to explore the Disney boys market, hoping to get support and complete the acquisition of Marvel group.

Just as far away as San Francisco, the biggest individual shareholder of Walt Disney who can only attend the meeting in the form of video conference, jobs, who holds 7.7% of the shares, blinks his deep and intelligent eyes, touches his face's whiskers, lowers his head and ponders, listens to the opinions of the board members, and clears his voice.

"Andy Smith won't sell Marvel"

Mr. Jobs's speech immediately quieted Disney's board of directors. They all focused on the computer monitor and looked at Mr. jobs in the video. Robert egger, Disney's chief executive, frowned and asked, "what's your opinion, Steve?"

"Among you, I am the only one who deals with Andy Smith the most. This young man is indeed a genius. No matter in strategic vision or in employment, he is admired. When dealing with him, he cannot be blinded by his age, let alone despised.If you read his information, you should be very clear that he is building his own entertainment media empire. In addition to the unfinished integration and insufficient volume, every piece of his industrial puzzle is not the best enterprise in the industry at the beginning of acquisition, even like Marvel group, which is difficult to operate, but it has been integrated and activated in his hands.

The most important thing for him is IP resources. The reason why he won't agree to sell marvel is that although he is excellent, he has no perfect person, and there are defects in his character, such as possession of Yu, control of Yu, extreme revenge, etc... Don't laugh, do you feel like a little boy? The

problem is that even if everyone can't bear to see him, he can't help him, because he is too smart. Just like now, everyone feels that the threat is rising. But if anyone wants to share a slice of the cake, he can only go to him. You must be clear that most of his companies are his private property, and he is the only one who has the final say.

After hearing Jobs's words, as a good friend, Robert egger, Disney's chief executive officer, blinked and pondered for a while, saying: "what if we buy the whole entertainment media group, which is still in its infancy? In exchange for shares, and then give him a seat on the board. "

"Ha ha, Robert, unless you agree to give him the position of chairman of the board of directors, he will only reply you with a disgusting ha ha! His power appetite is too big. What he likes is that he can carry out his decision. You can't satisfy him in the power structure under his control! "

Jobs, who was bitten by Andy's teeth, has studied Andy Smith's character thoroughly. After all, the opponent who has suffered Andy's great loss is the one who knows him best.

Hearing Steve's words, there was an uproar in the conference room. How could their big masters tolerate a 24-year-old boy pointing his fingers at them? One by one, they want to blow up their hair like a cat. They start to spit and refuse the proposal of merger and acquisition of Marvel group.

Kevin Meyer, chief strategy officer, looked at the meeting and smiled bitterly. He knew that the acquisition of Marvel group was over, even though it was the most important part of Disney's strategic layout.

Andy, who is having a meeting with a think-tank group from Washington to Los Angeles, naturally doesn't know that Disney's board meeting has been fried into a pot of porridge because of his problems. Even if he knows it, he just laughs and says that they want to be blind.

He has basically completed the layout of the entertainment media group, and what he needs is only an integration. How can he agree to be merged by Disney, to be a board member who doesn't count? He knows better than anyone else why he would rather be Ji head than phoenix tail.

As for being the largest individual shareholder of Disney, it's possible to take charge of the giant. Andy didn't even think about it. First of all, it's impossible. Second, Disney's internal is too complex, there are many factions, and the struggle has never been interrupted. In Disney Company, board members have always been keen on the succession of Disney's CEO Interest, and long-term tenure of the CEO will bring harm to the company with a high degree of vigilance.
