Notes Julia to aim at itself, Houley Hunt several people that chatted walked on own initiative.
Eric and opposite party exchanged greetings several, when they leave, ill-humoredly stared innocent Julia one.
Julia shrank under the neck, in vision is having the hope, small sound track: „Eric, you were angry is right, can you tidy up me?”
„No,” Eric shakes the head, said: „I well to your, in gentlest way with the world.”
„Oh.”
The nod of Julia millet calligraphy stroke rice, is not obviously repugnant to this way.
Good, could not tidy up.
Monday morning the convention must have the breakfast with Katzenberg, discusses the recent company affairs while convenient.
Elizabeth had not finished own ‚the journey of quarrelling’, Eric telephoned with her yesterday, knows that the cause of matter the matter about Fox TV Network, Murdoch wants to make some wonderful female in the Fox TV Network assignment, Elizabeth naturally not agree.
Regarding this family work, Eric is not quite good to meddle.
In the mansion that very early in the morning in Julia and Elizabeth Beverly Hills top wakes up, thinks Julia will hate to get out of bed, Eric plans to leave first, has not actually thought that Julia also gets out of bed, is only somewhat is blurry to Burbank Firefly Headquarters.
„Early, Eric,” Katzenberg as if forever is an appearance in full vigour, enters the dining room hurriedly, has grasped starting with Eric, greeted with Julia warmly: „Early, Julia.”
Julia spunks up toward Katzenberg nods: „Jeffrey, morning.”
Has greeted, Eric and Katzenberg under dinner table is implicated, Julia also reluctantly sits by Eric.
Katzenberg understands the Julia's condition probably, thinks the matter that today must discuss does not need to evade, has not cared, orders the breakfast to the attendant, Katzenberg impatiently has asked: „Eric, did you look at the AOL quarter wealth to report?”
The quarter wealth report of majority of listed company will have finished the odd-numbered month last ten days of the month or the second month after the quarter first 10 days of the month announced that today on January 18, Eric really has not expected AOL to announce the quarter wealth report ahead of time, but, thinks aspect that these days AOL faces, Steve Kyes's behavior is not difficult to understand.
1998, the NASDAQ index framed finally at 2733 : 00.
By December 31, a series of technology corporation stock price of NASDAQ market achieved the new historical high, the Microsoft market value broke through 400 billion USD smoothly, achieved 418 500 million USD, wrested away the global enterprise market value ranking first position firmly. In the Firefly system display best science company Cisco, the market value also achieves 166 600 million USD, occupies tenth in the global enterprise market value ranking.
Yahoo after experiencing the listing erupted, the stock price is at a very unstable adjustment condition, but, finished before last year, the market value finally maintained at 106 700 million USD top digits.
Last year at the same time, all science companies of Firefly investment control, in the property scale also less than 200 billion USD, now, are only Cisco and Yahoo two companies, the market value already over 270 billion USD, in addition, compared with last year, the Nokia market value also realized turned time, achieved 66 500 million USD.
Is counted Firefly Group this, although has not gone on the market but the estimate value level absolutely over thousand hundred million USD media groups, the Firefly system was equal to having three market values to surpass 100 billion USD enterprise jumbos.
If the NASDAQ index is similar to Eric expectation such within this year crashes ahead of time, this year also will become Eric individual net worth the year of peak, although has not undergone the specific statistics, when compared accepted 《The New York Times》 wealth 265 billion USD in November of last year, the Eric latest net worth data, will break through 300 billion USD absolutely with ease.
Can want to see, after the NASDAQ index crashes, Eric individual net worth wants to reach the current level again, according to the development path of new tech industry, at least also takes ten years.
However, when the time comes, once Eric individual sale price reaches this year's level again, at that time, under the Eric name the bubble ingredient of property will not look like absolutely again is so serious at this time.
In the mind flashes through these information, Eric shakes the head saying: „Did not have, therefore, what situation the present is?”
Katzenberg beckoned to hint him to help itself bring a notebook in not far away assistant, opened the later demonstration in front of Eric, said: Data that „AOL just published, last year Fourth Season, the AOL earning amount was 1.1 billion 92 500,000 USD, compared same time last year the achievement to rise suddenly 46%, rose 21% with last quarter link relative ratio data, single cropping profit 100 million 90 500,000 USD, the increase scope achieved 41% compared with the same period similarly. The correlation data goes far beyond Wall Street anticipated completely.”
Here was the Firefly Burbank Headquarters internal dining room, Eric ahead of time installs the WIFI network specially here, Katzenberg was saying, has cut a homepage skilled, arrived at the AOL stock price demonstration page.
At this time the Eastern Time nearly 11 o'clock, Eric only will see a steep rising curve.
Opening price one hour, the AOL stock price rises sharply 11%, the market value achieves 7 3.6 billion USD at one fell swoop.
Eric all earnestly looked at several data on browser, said with a smile: „This is the good deed, AOL must buy back that 3.1% stocks in clover fund next month, such rises, we were also many hundreds of millions USD incomes.” Eric was saying, opens the calculator that on notebook brings to count consider as finished simply, said: „According to the present stock price, should be 2.2 billion 80 million USD, perhaps the following several weeks will again also rise much, we even possibly attain 2.5 billion USD finally.”
„2.5 billion USD,” Katzenberg cannot bear somewhat sigh with emotion, when initially the clover fund bought in this stock is the top digit buys up, but if can take back 2.5 billion USD, compares the initial investment, has realized several times of profits, suddenly remembers anything, Katzenberg also said: „Exactly, enough has bought Hasbro.”
Although Hasbro has not announced last year the Fourth Season wealth report, because the star pre-war biography is at the end of December screens, even if announced that the star will fight the peripheral sales unfavorable situation not to create to the Hasbro last quarter of last year financial report too in a big way affects, but, over half a month passed, the star fought the peripheral toy sale unfavorable situation the news also to spread, the stock price that these days, Hasbro slight increased also started to display to drop the trend.
Hears Katzenberg to mention Hasbro, Eric also asks: „The consumer unit that side did put out the star to fight the report of peripheral sales unfavorable situation?”
Katzenberg nods, said: „I have been staring, several days later can change to your there the detailed document, but, the fundamental question is also clear. Hasbro this unfavorable situation, mainly because they display was too greedy. 100 million USD authorized expense, accordingly, almost attained the star to fight the peripheral product authorization of larger part. According to the investigation of consumer unit, newest persona of Hasbro a number of toys that in according to the star pre-war biography promotes is very popular, because the product type are too many, instead affected the shopping choice of consumer, received, only then core a number of toys were welcomed, other majority of products, were at the unsalable conditions. I thought that in the future we should carry on a more accurate detailed classification to the company movie peripheral product, and strictly limits the peripheral product type.”
Eric is listening earnestly, finally said: „This year our «Iron Man» and «Cars» and «The Lord of the Rings First Tune» has rich peripheral product development potential, therefore, you should better stare personally, I do not hope that the consumer department learns the lessons, actually does not practice.”
„I understand that” Katzenberg is complying. The attendants come up three people of breakfast ends, the conversation suspended the moment, when the attendant leaves, Katzenberg said: „, About ‚4200’ plan, Eric, North America aspect, although the final contract was still negotiating, but, 2000 3 D silver screens and 100 IMAX silver screens had basically determined that can screens when the end of the year «Gravity» unfolded on all fronts. However, overseas, I thought that may present one to two months of detention.”
Eric hopes at first 3 D and promotion of IMAX silver screen can achieve the global synchronization, but after last year one year of arrangement, he also gradually clearly recognized the reality, the North America market was better, overseas Film market received the market, policy in corresponding country and other all kinds of complicated factor influences, wanted to achieve the synchronization not to be basically impossible.
Naturally, the IMAX screening hall of complete control in Firefly Group hand could achieve these, but that other 2000 3 D silver screens, want simultaneously the shop to launch in the overseas market, is actually difficult. But distributes in the 100 IMAX silver screens of other global countries, obviously is insufficient, Firefly is impossible to let «Gravity» and «The Lord of the Rings» screens ahead of time on this few 100 silver screens.
Eric did not suspect that Katzenberg has not used at this matter fully, since he says at this time, basically proved that may not be.
„Since this and ensure the North America synchronization is good,”, although somewhat is at heart disappointed, Eric quickly said: „So long as North America can be successful, I think that the overseas development definitely will be also rapid.”
„But, North America, I last week and representatives of several yard lines met with, they also had some scruple, mainly about the movie source,” Katzenberg nods, said: „From «Gravity» of November to December «The Lord of the Rings», middle, be only one month, because of the heat degree of two movies, the institute line can haunch two months of 3 D film markets to be also optimistic regarding these two movies. However, from «The Lord of the Rings» of December to another 3 D movie source «Sleepy Hollow» that we determine, actually enough three months of neutrals, even if «The Lord of the Rings» can haunch two months of running schedule, these 2000 3 D screening halls also lack the movie source one month, therefore, the institute line business needs us at least again to provide two 3 D movie movie sources.”
According to the current technical level, the main difficulty of 3 D movie source in the cost, the time cost also in next, according to the scales of 2000 silver screens, is only the transformation cost and copy cost two, can make a movie increase the budget of several million USD, if below the 50 million USD medium low cost manufacture, is only these two costs, possibly achieves to manufacture budget 10%.
Even, this also less expensive IMAX edition, compares the ordinary 3 D film copy, the cost of IMAX-3 D film copy is equal to ten times of copy, if two forms on entire, the release investment of that movie will be huger.
However, since decides to promote, at this time did not have the leeway that anything flinched, Eric to carry nearby mineral water to drink one, asked that Katzenberg said: „Your meaning?”
Katzenberg said: „Will manufacture the hard disk to place the unpopular running schedule risks of two March to be too big greatly, if chooses the low cost manufacture, is unable to highlight 3 D and visual effect superiority of IMAX movie, I thought that perhaps we can choose some classics big pieces to carry on the transformation from the database, this already can reduce the risk, can guarantee the visual effect.”
Listened to Katzenberg saying that Eric has thought immediately in the original space and time a series of 3 D reset big piece, but, he shook the head quickly, said: „It is not good, now is also not the time.”
Although in the memory many 3 D reset movie obtained very good Box Office, but that generally is a movie screens for ten years the 20 years later matters.
Hollywood special effect big piece rises also less than ten years, in the 90's, Eric really could not suddenly have found out are also too many must carry on the 3 D transformation the big piece, in the 90's, that were too many.
Firefly Group, the «Jurassic Park» series and «The Terminator» series and «Twister» and «Independence Day» wait/etc. movies, have the 3 D transformation potential. However, with compared with, the screening age limits of these movies was too once short, but also cannot achieve to sell the mood the situation. Moreover, the 3 D cinema system that although researches and develops to Firefly is satisfactory, but Eric hopes that this technology can develop again for ten years, can promote these classical movies again the 3 D editions.
Katzenberg has not thought that Eric will flatly refuse, asked: „Eric, according to once the Disney animation 7 years a time showing again rule, actually had been OK. Although to the movie of adult, but the North America 7 years produce a group of brand-new audiences, actually are also the same truth.”
„I am not this meaning,” Eric shakes the head, said: „Seven years one time shows again, this truly right, but I do not think urgently to unearth these movies now the business potentials, perhaps, waits again for about ten years, when these movies become classics recollections in one generation of person hearts, carries on the words that the 3 D edition shows again, we will harvest better market impact. Now, but to fill running schedule vacancy, takes these classical movies, that is too not worth.”
„This,” Katzenberg somewhat was convinced obviously also by Eric, said: „We can only leverage from the existing movie, said that «Underworld» is good, solemn Goths style, the gun battle scene of violence, if makes 3 D, can definitely make very good progress, but, the new line has decided the grade that movie in the summer files.”
