Chapter 177： Cage's eyes

In the third week of the show, Bad Guy continued to top the North American weekly box office with a single-day output of $14.23 million.

It can only be said that there are really no strong competitors in this schedule, which is very suitable for the performance of the film.

After entering into June, what is so special, the world is infinite, these newly released movies are known to be standard bad movies just by hearing the name.

Not so lucky next week, though, because a new computer-animated film from Walt Disney's Finding Nemo will be released.

This is a big ip that makes a lot of money in later generations, and each one makes Disney a lot of money.

Speaking of which, the producer, Pixar Animation Studios, is really amazing.

It can be said that he promoted the production of computer 3D animation by himself. He not only designed professional software, but also programmed an extremely perfect special effect system.

And now their biggest shareholder behind the scenes, I believe everyone is no stranger, is the current CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs. New 81 Chinese website updates the fastest computer: https://

As early as 1986, he had a keen sense of smell to buy the computer animation department of Pixar's predecessor, Industrial Light and Magic, for $10 million.

Also in 1995, Disney released the world's first fully computer-produced animated feature film Toy Story, which finally set a record in the American animation film industry with a box office of $192 million. The global harvest is 360 million US dollars.

As for Toy Story 2, A Bug's Life, Monster Power, Inc.... None of the animated films that have been released one after another have lost money, and they always refresh their box office history.

However, since the release of Bad Guys, it has received a box office of 276 million US dollars. The screening in North America will gradually decline with time. This is a fairly normal release cycle. After all, not every movie is The more the Titanic is shown, the more popular it becomes.

According to this development momentum, and as the number of screening theaters gradually decreases, Paramount estimates that the film should be able to exceed 300 million by the time it reaches the entire North American line.

And overseas distribution is pure profit without loss, the box office may not be as popular as North America, but with so many ticket positions added up, it will not be too bad.

......

Los Angeles, in Nicolas Cage's mansion.

Lyman is discussing something with him.

In other words, the bad guy is not good at the box office. Although he hasn’t drawn the picture yet, he can’t talk about splitting the account. However, under the predictable figures, Lehman is also thinking of buying a house in the United States. development base.

No, he found Cage.

The real estate industry in the United States is also very deep. Instead of looking for an intermediary company to choose a house, it is better to find a close one who has experience in this area.

Coincidentally, when Cage was on his way back to Los Angeles after the promotion, after hearing that he had this idea, he also took the initiative to ask Ying for help.

"Why do you think you're going to buy a house at this time?" In the living room, Cage asked the housekeeper to help him pour two cups of coffee.

"Are you rich, you can feel at ease buying a suite here."

This is not a joke by Lehmann. He is actually quite insecure. To say that he has saved a lot of money for filming in the past two years, but he has been reluctant to use it.

After all, when he wants to come, buy a house, either don't do it, or do something better, and live comfortably by himself.

But foreign countries are not as good as domestic ones. It does not mean that once you buy them, you can do it once and for all. The subsequent annual maintenance fees and value-added tax are not a small burden.

Let's just put it this way, maybe the money spent at the beginning will be less, but paying money to the tax bureau every year is equivalent to raising a father for no reason, or that kind of non-productive.

Moreover, real estate in the United States has strict laws and regulations on inheritance, which means that real estate speculation is a more difficult task.

What if he loses money making a movie, shouldn't he leave some money to prevent such things from happening?

Therefore, it was only now that he dared to have this thought.

"You're right to find me. I now have 13 high-end properties in total, and I usually can't live in that many. I'll take you to see the house tomorrow. Which one do you choose, I'll give you a discount. ." Nicholas Cage said.

"So many, why did you buy so many houses?"

"Investment." Nicolas Cage looked proud, "In the past ten years, most of the money I made for movies has been thrown into this." After that, he wanted to mention Lehman, "You said You have a lot of money, right? Let me tell you, the high-end real estate in the United States has increased in value in recent years. While the market is good, you should hurry up and stock up on a few sets. When the time comes, you can rent or sell them. earn."

"Who came up with this idea?" Lyman looked strange.

"Isn't it a stupid thing not to put money in the bank for interest? I'm rich, and I've also asked relevant financial managers to help me take care of it. According to his idea, I'm buying high-quality stocks, but I I think that thing is unreliable, and after thinking about it, it’s better to buy a house and be steadfast.”

"Don't you think it's not worth it? You have to pay taxes every year."

"It's a bit troublesome, but let me tell you, I only sold a Marbury house the year before last, and I made more than 20 million in three years than when I bought it. Compared with this amount of money, that little tax The money is nothing. Anyway, do you want to invest it?"

Nicolas Cage is still promoting his business In his opinion, Lehmann is someone who can befriend.

"Forget it, one set is enough for me."

Now I finally know why Cage has become the "king of bad movies" in later generations. They all say that he failed to invest and owes a lot of money. In order to make more money, it is called a person who does not avoid meat and vegetables, and dares to accept any film.

But can this fail to invest? Hoarding houses in the United States. Damn, when the financial crisis comes, I guess I think I'm not dying fast enough.

At that time, the real estate industry would be called a Great Depression. If you want to sell it, you will not be able to sell it, and you will have to pay various taxes every year.

And he didn't raise one father, but more than a dozen fathers. Can he not be defeated?

"I advise you to stop buying a house. You are an actor, why don't you try to invest in movies." Lehmann said kindly.

"Movie?" Cage shook his head, "This is even more unreliable, who knows which movie is made to make a profit or a loss, and the real estate is different. Now the price is one a year, but it is a business that can make a profit without losing money. "

Okay, so to speak, he is not a descendant, how could he know that a financial crisis would break out. If it weren't for that disaster, Cage would still be alive and well.

Thinking like this, Lehman didn't try to persuade him.

Originally, I thought about not taking advantage of him to buy his real estate, but now it seems that I am helping him. starter

Poor Cage.
