473 [Opportunity]

The big sale of "Star Wars" has made Hollywood giants who were not optimistic about it before become very embarrassing.

The movies they are not good at, now have a box office of over 10 million US dollars in a single day, and the box office of over 10 million US dollars in ten days. Such results are even more terrifying than "The Great White Jaws" released in 1975.

The people love this movie so much. A young man watched it for thirty times in ten days and was not tired of it.

The surrounding areas of "Star Wars" that were previously unwelcome, such as laser swords, imperial soldier dolls, dark jazz helmets, star destroyers models, etc., have now become popular items that everyone can rob.

There are more than two months left for Christmas. The "Star Wars" toys have been listed as the best Christmas gift recommendation, and sales will reach a climax in the future.

The higher the achievements of Star Wars, the more painful the Hollywood giants will be.

...

The media also likes to add insult to injury. The Los Angeles Times reported on all the things before and after the release of Star Wars.

These include the fact that "Star Wars" was rejected by the five major Hollywood giants during its first sale; the second time it was bundled, it was rejected by several major giants.

Even Columbia Pictures, which won the distribution rights, was ridiculed by the Los Angeles Times. Because it was worried that Star Wars would lose money, Ye Jin paid half of the publicity fee at the expense of 10% of the box office share.

In this way, the higher the box office of Star Wars, the heavier it will lose. Judging from the current $100 million box office, it will make 10 million less.

...

After this report was published, almost all the five Hollywood giants became jokes.

The senior executives are blind, the supervisors are incompetent, the system is rigid, and the concepts are outdated. The fat pig arch is even driven away. The direct loss is calculated in billions of dollars, and the indirect loss is more.

For example, the stock prices of the five giants plummeted by nearly 5% after the report was published.

Especially Fox Pictures, its operating conditions were poor, and after this negative news came out, its stock price fell even more.

Because the report said that "Star Wars" should have been invested and issued by it. Unfortunately, at the critical moment, it did not seize the opportunity, which caused hundreds of millions of huge losses.

Coupled with the plunge in stock prices and the evaporation of market value, Fox Pictures' total loss may reach about 400 million US dollars. It's a pity that Fox's market value is only 1 billion US dollars. This is naturally bad news for Fox, who has already struggled.

The funder behind Fox was very dissatisfied with the performance of the company's senior executives. Two months later, the official fired Fox CEO, executive officer, distribution manager, production manager and other senior executives, which basically uprooted Fox Pictures.

Fox's turmoil also triggered high-level shocks in Hollywood.

Most senior executives of companies such as Columbia Pictures, Warner Pictures, Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, etc. have been fired. According to statistics, there are more than 450 people involved in this wave of trend, and half of Hollywood has changed their faces.

This turbulence started because of "Dragon Hard 2", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Star Wars", and these three movies were invested by Ye Jin, so Ye Jin was named "Hollywood Turbulent" by the media.

...

The big sale of "Star Wars" made Ye Jin, Harrison Ford and George Lucas breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, they have been holding this tone for a long time from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Although George Lucas has long turned around with "Raiders of the Lost Ark", the hit screening of "Star Wars" has allowed him to truly get rid of all the black spots and officially become one of the most talented directors in Hollywood.

Harrison Ford also became more popular with the role of Han Solo in "Star Wars". Fans love this handsome, humorous, witty, brave, and both righteous and evil cosmic prodigal son.

The Luke Skywalker played by Ye Jin is a halo, handsome, handsome, agile, brave and kind, perfectly in line with the positioning of a young hero, so he has the most fans.

Moreover, in "Star Wars", he himself accounts for 60% of the box office, and also accounts for 90% of the profit rights of the surrounding products. In this way, he has made a fortune.

In mid-October, the cumulative box office of "Star Wars" had reached 200 million US dollars. The sales of peripheral products were even more popular. One and five hundred thousand laser swords were sold alone; one and five hundred thousand dark jazz dolls were sold for 800,000 pieces; three hundred thousand sets of imperial soldier clothing were sold for 500 US dollars...

In fact, if it weren't for the insufficient production capacity of toy manufacturers, the sales volume could have doubled.

Previously, when Star Wars was licensing peripheral products, several major manufacturers participated in the bidding, but did not invest much money to produce products.

Especially when Star Wars was refused to be released by the five giants, its peripheral products were even more stagnant. The products they had previously produced were piled up in the warehouse, and a batch of products were even burned and buried.

Therefore, when Star Wars was unexpectedly popular, these manufacturers began to produce peripheral products, resulting in insufficient supply. Toy companies were helpless in the face of the surge in orders, and even if they worked overtime, they still couldn't supply market demand. Orders were placed in September, and delivery would take at least December, which shows how popular Star Wars is.

...

Ye Jin, who has successively created box office miracles, has also become the hottest producer in Hollywood with his unbeaten achievements.

The "Dragon Hard Boy" series, "Rocky", "Ghost Street", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Star Wars", etc., each of which has a profit of more than ten times or even dozens of times.

I have invested so many times but never lost. Such achievements are terrifying and almost unrivaled. This has also made all walks of life in Hollywood envious.

"Mr. Ye, I wonder if you are interested in taking over as CEO of Fox?" Fox's behind-the-scenes financial advisor came to him and said.

If Ye Jin can be the CEO of Fox, then with his every-game investment vision, Fox will inevitably turn losses into profits and may even become the overlord of Hollywood.

"What are the benefits of taking over as CEO of Fox?" Ye Jin asked with a smile when he heard this.

He is a freelance producer himself, investing in movies himself, and making money by himself. He became the executive of Fox and was in charge of this Hollywood giant. It seems to be a glorious, but after investing in movies, all the profits are earned by the company.

I just earn a little salary and bonus, and it is not cost-effective no matter what.

"Then what conditions do you need, Mr. Ye?" asked the visitor.
