Chapter 202： Join if you can't beat it, this is the hardest way

"Almighty Checkin( to find the latest chapter!

There is a lot of disturbance from the outside world. Some people are having fun, and they are happy in the waves like a fish in water. Some people are very popular and worry about their future. Some people are secretly calculating and want to seek benefits for themselves.

"The world is bustling, and it's all for the benefit. The world is bustling, and it's all for the benefit."

This benefit is not just money. If you understand it that way, it will be narrow. It refers to interests, benefits in various aspects, such as fame and so on.

As the initiator of the wave and the storm, and the biggest winner, Xu Ang did not live in the storm as some people outside imagined, living a busy and exciting life.

On the contrary, his life was peaceful and tranquil.

It's time for training, it's time to rest, and there is a lot of time to chat with my sister and mother on the phone every day.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the more this is, the more maddening and violent the storm he created is. After all, the center of a tornado is always terrifyingly calm.

Mark arrived in Beverly Hills at about the same time as Lasseter, and the difference between the two sides.

Xu Ang called them, and naturally he had his reasons.

After signaling that the two were behind, Xu Ang said to them, "Let's talk about the company first, Lasseter, you go first."

When Lasseter heard the words, he hurriedly revealed the draft that he had already made before he came: "The box office of "Interstellar" has created a miracle, far exceeding our expectations. The audience who bought the tickets are madly rushing for tickets, They are no longer simply wanting to watch movies. The theaters that opened the premiere have sold tickets for a month. In the past few days, we have reached cooperation with many theater owners, and almost all theaters in North America are showing them. Our films, and the average attendance rate is as high as 80%.”

Xu Ang asked slightly teasingly, "The attendance rate?"

Lasseter shrugged. "Well, it's not going to hide anything from your eyes, the attendance is really not that high. On the contrary, if the attendance is really calculated, it is less than 30%. People used to buy tickets to go to the theater. Watching movies, and this time people are buying movie tickets to tweet that they are part of a movement to say no to adults who have resources, and that they are part of a people with a spirit of resistance.”

sports?

That's right, under the operation of Xu Ang, the mastermind behind the scenes, and with the help of his remote-controlled Twitter, whether or not to buy a movie ticket for "Interstellar Baby" has become a sport. It's a broken circle.

Many people's emotions are actively or passively aroused. In order not to make themselves look out of place, even people who are not interested in animated movies will buy a movie ticket for "Interstellar Baby".

It doesn’t matter what day you bought it, it doesn’t matter if you go to see it or not after you buy it, what matters is that they are involved, and they have a common topic with the people around them.

Under the general trend, more and more people have opened their wallets, contributing to the box office of "Interstellar Baby", and also contributing to Xu Ang's wealth.

When buying tickets is no longer purely for watching a movie, but being taken away as a national phenomenon, the box office miracle was born.

Mark on the side couldn't help but say: "Isn't the low attendance because many people reserved the venue for their **** vanity, and they took the trouble to post pictures on Twitter, just to make others envious? As the president of Twitter , I know that many people who book movie theaters are not really that rich. In fact, the real rich people are less than 5% of those who book movie theaters. Those who buy multiple movie tickets have corresponding economic benefits. The strength is even less than one percent."

Xu Ang raised his eyebrows: "It seems that we have added a lot of business to banks and loan companies, and they should give us dividends."

Lasseter and Mark laughed hilariously, and Lasseter said, "Boss, you are right, I will send a letter to the bank and the loan company when I go back, and ask them to send the share that belongs to us."

Mark also said: "Maybe this matter can still be on Twitter's trending topic list."

"Speaking of this time, "Interstellar" can create a miracle, thanks to the help of Twitter." Lasseter extended his hand to Mark, "Meet me, I'm Lasseter from Peak Studios."

Mark shook hands with Lasseter and said, "I'm Mark, nice to meet you. It's not my credit, such a whimsy can only come from the boss. Strictly speaking, Twitter has to thank Peak. Sir, without this topic, we could not have skyrocketed from 5 million users to 80 million registered users in just ten days."

After the two of them were polite, they fell into silence again. There are some things you can't think about, otherwise you will feel very scary.

How long has their boss Xu Ang been in the United States this time, he has created another movie miracle and two business miracles.

The movie miracle, of course, refers to the box office of "Interstellar".

Originally estimated to have a global box office of 300 to 400 million animated films, after Xu Ang's manipulation, the box office in North America alone has exceeded 1 billion. Lasseter estimates that if this trend continues for another three to five days, the North American box office will reach an astonishing number he can't imagine, and the box office contributed by the rest of the world may not even match the North American box office.

And how much does it cost?

With the script provided by Xu Ang that is detailed enough to only require everyone to be a filler worker, the cost of the entire "Interstellar Baby", even with labor, is only 28 million US dollars.

Although there is a lot of water in the box office, fans who really like this movie and spend money will contribute to the three or four billion box office they expect. But for Americans, it’s enough to make money. It doesn’t matter if you really like movies Don’t you like movies, just to keep up with the trend, just to satisfy vanity, just want to show off The box office that is rich and contributed is not a box office?

It's a pity that the storm brought by Twitter is only in the United States, otherwise Peak Studio will make a lot of money this time.

Lasseter thought regretfully.

This is the insufficiency of the human heart.

Mark thought differently than Lasseter.

He is not a filmmaker, so the focus will naturally not fall on the film, Mark is looking at the business aspect.

Taking advantage of ordinary people's natural dislike of big shots and their rebellious psychology to authority, combining it with watching the movie "Interstellar Baby" not only gave those film critics who hated Xu Ang a resounding slap, but also made more money at the box office Several hundred million, and Twitter has also developed. Mark can't think of such a method.

In terms of business methods, Mark believes that his boss is really terrifying, and it can be called turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain.

Even though the boss is young, he is a business wizard that few can match.

Originally, Mark had a trace of dissatisfaction with Xu Ang that was hidden because of Netscape's affairs, but now this dissatisfaction has disappeared.

Xu Ang was so powerful that Mark didn't dare to have any other thoughts at all. There is only one thing he has to do, and that is to make himself a member of Xu Ang's business empire.

Join if you can't beat it, this is the hardest way.

"Well, gentlemen, I didn't ask you to come here to be flattered."

Xu Ang's words made both Mark and Lasseter realize that the boss asked them to come to Beverly Hills this time.

"Wall Street wants to buy shares in Peak and Twitter. I have agreed to them. The specific matters are being discussed. The news has not been announced yet. Do you know what this means?"
