Chapter 657 Next Week (2) (Repair)

Simon does not plan to take any girl away tonight, and will have to go back to Dumei Point Manor later, and he will still have to spend time with his family on weekends.

After watching the kitten fighting for a while, Simon smiled and changed the topic, saying to Yasmin and Naga around him: "I think about the establishment of a charity fund recently. Remember, don't touch politics, you can't afford it; environmental protection is easy to be thankless, don't bother with it; medical care is difficult to produce specific results, so you should skip it. Therefore, it is best to focus on education, fund poor children, and donate some teaching buildings. These are all visible and tangible achievements. Also, seriously treat this as a long-term career, don't think about speculation, and do not deliberately promote it. You will find the benefits after a long time."

Yasmin Gary came over to act coquettishly: "You are so domineering, Simon, you said you were asking us to consider it, but everything has been decided."

Simon gently stroked the slender waist that made people love, and took the initiative to talk about a question that the two women were more concerned about: "As for the funds, I will give you $1 million first, and then add it after it is done. If it is screwed up, it will be gone."

Naga Allman on the other side said with some slightest remarks: "Simon, will it always happen after it is done?"

Of course Simon understood the meaning of leg sperm.

The original agreement was only one year. Due to the storm some time ago, the two women who were exposed by the media have been labeled as Westeros’ lover and cannot be escaped in a short period of time. However, both Simon and the waist and leg genitals know that this relationship cannot be maintained for a long time.

Once Simon is gone in the future, men don’t seem to have reason to continue supporting their charitable funds.

However, facing Naga's problem, Simon nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, as long as you do this seriously, no matter what happens in the future, you can get financial support from the Westeros system."

The first impression of charity by the general public is often tax avoidance, but in fact, the highest level of charity should be to exert subtle influence on the entire society through its own capital strength.

This is actually a disguised power.

The reason why the Rockefeller family can maintain the glory of the six generations is largely due to the potential influence of the Rockefeller Foundation on all aspects of the world.

For all considerations, the Westeros system will continue to increase investment in charity. However, if you want to achieve subtle effects, the best charity model should also be to break the whole into pieces and penetrate all aspects of the world through countless types of foundations.

A charitable fund that Simon plans to establish a waist and leg spirit together is a chess piece set up according to this plan.

As long as it is operated properly, the two women can gain corresponding social reputation from this charity fund. However, in the final analysis, such a charity fund is still part of the Westeros system's layout in the charity field.

Simon has even found the first charity project for the two women's fund to fund the renovation of primary and secondary school teaching buildings in some poor Wisconsin communities. The charity project planned to be launched in the second half of the year will put its achievements as much as possible on the Republican Senate candidate Robert Hotwell, who is supported by the Westeros system, to win more votes on the social base of Hotwell's rival Craig Ames.

Therefore, even if the waist and leg essence will no longer be Simon's lover in the future, as long as the operation direction of the charity fund that the two women are responsible for is still in line with the interests of the Westeros system, they can continue to receive financial support.

Simon did not respond to his teasing. Cindy was a little disappointed, but insisted on not leaving. She also guessed with some hatred that Naga Allman had just said something bad about him in the man's ear. At this time, when she heard Simon's conversation with the two women about the charity fund, she couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.

Some guy is building his two large vases in all aspects.

Think about it some time ago, when the scandal was exposed, Westeros not only did not deny it publicly, but instead directly used a private plane to help the two women stay away from the whirlpool of right and wrong. During this period, under the media public relations operation of the Westeros system, the two women did not suffer much negative impact in their reputation or career.

Such a powerful, rich and courageous man, even if he can only be his lover, will definitely attract too many women.

Cindy thought so sourly, inexplicably insisted on sitting on the sofa next to her, and ignored the provocations of the two big fairies beside Simon.

Fortunately, not long after, Simon got up and left the party, and did not bring the two girls with him, which somewhat made Cindy, who was also unable to succeed, find some comfort.

The weekend has passed and it is June 13th.

on Monday.

On this day, Daenerys Entertainment officially announced the listing date of the company's stock, which was finalized on July 1. At the same time, Daenerys Entertainment, together with two major underwriters, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, also launched a global roadshow before the stock listing and trading.

Logically speaking, since the official submission of the prospectus, companies applying for IPOs must enter a silent period, and companies are not allowed to publish any information that intentionally or unintentionally stimulates stock prices.

Daenerys Entertainment has strictly adhered to the silent terms related to the silence period in recent months.

However, whether it is the online social game "Happy Farm" that has been popular during this period, the backstreet boy group that has quickly become popular under Daenerys Records, and even the blockbuster movies under Daenerys Entertainment, "Four Weddings and One Funeral", "Detective's Aircraft Head", "Star Gate" and other blockbuster movies under Daenerys Entertainment have always shown the prosperity of Daenerys Entertainment.

Therefore, many industry media and investment bank analysts have commented during this period, believing that the first day of Daenerys Entertainment Group's listing is likely to directly create the peak of the market value of a listed American company.

On the other hand, as the new week just began, news came from traditional media circles that Simon Westeros personally set a price limit on some assets under the Hearst Group that were interested in selling. The Westeros system does not prevent other companies from acquiring the assets of the Hearst Group, but cannot exceed the highest transaction price specified by Simon, otherwise it will be an enemy of the Westeros system.

Then the approximate price list also spread.

The total value of the 13 newspaper and magazine assets that the Hurst family intends to sell will not be less than US$500 million before all the storms. However, as the assets themselves have depreciated significantly recently, Westeros once again lowered the price by a large margin. The price limit given was only 30% of the actual value, and the total transaction price was almost $150 million, which was simply bargaining on the ankle.

The assets that the Hurst family intends to cash out are the most severely affected by the storm. They have already made expectations of selling at a low price. Even if the value is discounted in half compared to the initial value, they can barely accept it because of the extreme demand for funds.

Simon's statement directly made the Hurst family give up the plan to sell and cash out.

It was sold at a discount of 30%, and the assets of $500 million became 150 million, which was so painful no matter what.

Simon's sniping action this time also made the Hurst family completely realize that the fundamental problem of trying to get rid of the predicament at this time lies in a young man, so they had to take the initiative to contact each other again. However, after the last offer, Simon no longer wanted to let go.

In the midst of busyness, another box office week of the summer season has passed.

Previously, on June 10, two new films were released in North American theaters, namely Disney's military camp comedy "The Legend of the Soldiers" and Paramount's children's comedy "The Little Devils".

The former is directed by Penny Marshall, the director of "Flying Over the Future". It tells the story of an advertising planner who entered the military camp after he lost his job and taught soldiers English. The film style is similar to "Good Morning Vietnam" which Disney had sold for box office a few years ago. Paramount's "The Little Imperials" is also a comedy that tirelessly follows the trend of "The Little Imperials".

June 10th to June 16th.

Without any suspense, "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" won the single-week box office championship for the rest of the year. The second week of its release, the film's decline reached an expected 49%, and continued to earn $65.09 million.

After two weeks of painting, the total box office of this DC superhero bombshell in North America has quickly reached US$192.72 million, leaving only US$7.28 million away from the $200 million box office mark. It is expected to exceed the 200 million threshold on the first day of the third week.

The overseas box office of the film has also begun to be released.

On the premise that some important overseas ticket stores such as Japan, France, and Germany have not been released yet, the cumulative box office revenue of "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight" in 27 overseas countries and regions that have been launched in two weeks is roughly estimated to reach US$270 million.

Half a month after its release, the global box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" has reached US$470 million.

Moreover, with the increasing success of the DC Cinema Universe series, the proportion of accounts signed by Warner Bros. and domestic and foreign theaters signed higher and higher during the release period. However, in the United States, the expected proportion of accounts of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" will reach about 65%, which is 10 percentage points higher than the average theater of Hollywood movies. Although the situations in various overseas countries and regions are different, the proportion of accounts has roughly increased.

Therefore, although the total investment in production and promotion of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" reached an astonishing $215 million, the box office revenue of $470 million in two weeks has allowed the two producers to recover all production and promotional investments and start to generate profits.

In recent years, with the widespread openness of Eastern European and Asian film markets, in accordance with the current box office momentum, whether it is the producers of Fontaine Daenerys and Time Warner, or the media from all sides who are always paying attention to the box office of the film, they are generally optimistic that "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight" will be expected to break through the important threshold of $1 billion in global box office.

Before this, the box office champion of North American film history was "Jurassic Park", with a global box office of US$980 million, and the runner-up was "Batman: The Moment of War", with a global box office of US$960 million, which is only one step away from the global box office threshold of US$1 billion, but it has never been able to successfully cross it.

Although it is also a film under Daenerys Entertainment, "Jurassic Park" surpassed "Batman: The Moment of War" to become the box office champion in North American film history, it still made the huge DC movie universe fans quite dissatisfied. This is just the reason that the box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" can be increased by a fraction of the box office.

Taking into account the expansion of Shanghai's overseas market and the natural growth of the film industry, "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight", which has already broken a series of box office records, has hit a global box office of $1 billion, which is indeed a matter of time.

Daenerys Entertainment's saturated comprehensive release strategy for the super blockbuster has largely made enough room for other Hollywood films to play in the following week of release, which is also the confidence that Disney and Paramount dare to launch two important new films on June 10.

However, "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" quickly made the market with a drop of nearly half of the following week, while "The Legend of the Soldiers" and "The Magic" were both very unsatisfactory in the box office.

Therefore, from June 10 to June 16, the box office runner-up was won by "Life and Death" which has been released for the fourth week. The action blockbuster starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Brock fell by 25% this week, earning $9.69 million.

Four weeks after its release, the cumulative box office of "Life and Death" exceeded the $80 million threshold, reaching $80.18 million.

Obviously, the runner-up box office was only 9.69 million US dollars, and this week, except for "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", there was no other movie that had a box office of over 10 million US dollars in a single week.

However, for "Life and Death", he successfully overcomes this hurdle that has been crushed by "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", and has accumulated a box office of more than $80 million. In the future, he will not only be able to successfully advance to the 100 million club, but also hope to go further.

Disney's "The Legend of the Sky" finally held its third place position, following "The Speed ​​of Life and Death", with the box office of $8.2 million in the first week of the film. However, with the only $4,654 in the first week of the film, it is difficult to escape the fate of being out of stock all around.

The fourth place was also won by "The Little Devil", which is the new film. The box office of the film was US$7.12 million in the first week of the film's paintings, with a screen size of 1,955 yuan. The average of the museum in the first week was US$3,641, which is even more dismal than "The Mobilization of the Heavenly Soldiers".

"Star Gate" directed by Michael Bay has ranked fifth on the list, with a box office drop of 35% this week, and has another $6.02 million, with a cumulative box office of $96.56 million, which is about to exceed 100 million.

Beyond the top five, the most miserable one is "The Gambler Ma Huali" starring Mel Gibson.

Compared with the same period, "Life and Death Speed" relied on its outstanding box office to maintain the screen size of 2,869 yuan in four weeks. Because the opening performance was not as expected, the screen number of "Gambling Man Ma Huali" began to shrink in the third week of release. In the fourth week of June 10, the screen number of screens was reduced from 1,969 yuan in the third week to 1,326 yuan. This also led to the film's decline this week after being crushed by "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" last week and the box office plummeted, and the box office plummeted, with only a pitiful $3.19 million left in the single week.

Therefore, in the new box office week starting on June 17, most mainstream theaters in North America have withdrawn the schedule of "The Gambler Ma Huali", and the film is basically out of stock, and the box office in North America is also frozen at a low of US$46.99 million.

Perhaps in the subsequent two or three rounds of screenings in remote areas, they will continue to earn $1 or 2 million, but overall they will not help. This super bombshell with a total investment of $105 million completely made Time Warner lose to tears.

With the huge profits brought by "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", Time Warner can easily fill the huge deficit caused by "Gambling on Ma Huali", but the failure of such a blockbuster project directly triggered turmoil in Time Warner's management.
