Hollywood Starts with Animation

v1 Chapter 385: "Butterfly Effect" released

, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!

Zhu Ke sent a letter to Wells Fargo Bank, sternly rejecting their acquisition, and offered the idea of ​​a shareholding initiative.

It's not that Zhuke is teasing them, but...really wants to buy shares in them.

Wells Fargo, a giant with a market value of US$200 billion in the future, manages the savings funds of tens of millions of users, with savings of up to trillions of US dollars.

Such a sweet pastry, Zhu Ke is very tempted.

In fact, it is not just Zhu Ke who is beloved, even the world-renowned investment crocodile Buffett is also coveting Wells Fargo.

In 1990, Buffett invested heavily in Wells Fargo Bank and bought several million shares of Wells Fargo Bank.

At the time, Wells Fargo's single share price was a little over $2.

What now?

As of April 2000, the single share price of Wells Fargo Bank had reached $26.

An investment that has doubled more than ten times in ten years, Buffett’s earnings have doubled!

Therefore, since 1998, Buffett has proposed to increase Wells Fargo’s investment several times, hoping to obtain more shares, and then... his application was rejected by Wells Fargo’s general meeting of shareholders.

"I was rejected?"

"It's okay! Send a few more letters, what if it's done?"

Zhu Ke still misses Wells Fargo!

"Boss, then our California Standard Bank, should we also start operations in the near future? Well, it's mainly the lending and investment of real estate projects." said the bank's general manager.

Zhuke suddenly brightened his eyes, "Your suggestion is very good. We can't miss the real estate project, and strive to become one of the largest real estate lending banks on the West Coast of the United States in the next few years."

At the same time, Zhu Ke did not want to let go of the investment in gold.

The explosion of the Internet bubble and the continued weakness of the U.S. dollar have caused many people to invest in gold projects without expecting to make money, at least to maintain their value.

"Boss, the gold project is indeed a very good investment." The bank manager nodded his head.

In April 2000, the international gold price was US$279 per ounce;

In 2004, the international gold price rose to US$410 per ounce;

In 2012, it even climbed to a price of US$1,700 per ounce, frightening and not knowing how many people;

At the beginning of August 2020, the price of gold broke the $2,000 mark, breaking the history of gold unit price!

For gold investment, in addition to the participation of California Standard Bank, Zhu Ke will also invest in this area.

Of course, it is obviously extremely difficult to acquire such a huge amount of physical gold, and it can only be paper gold in the futures market.

1 billion dollars!

After Zhu Ke invested nearly 800 million U.S. dollars in 1998, finally in April 2000, he waved his hand again and outrageously invested another 10 U.S. dollars in the gold project.

"You can keep your wealth and make money, why not do it?"

In the next few days, the funds in Zhu Ke's personal account decreased by nearly 100 million U.S. dollars.

Naturally, Zhu Ke did not take this money for personal enjoyment, but has successively invested in a number of fairly good Internet companies. Although these Internet companies will not become giants or industry unicorns in the future, they can still be regarded as successful companies.

"Not much, in a few years, it can bring me several times in return, it is enough." Zhu Ke laughed.

.......

April 19.

The work "Butterfly Effect", co-directed by Todd Phillips and Christopher Nolan, and co-written by Zhuke and Jonathan Nolan, was officially released in the United States.

The production cost of the film is more than 12 million U.S. dollars, which is a small-cost science fiction movie category, or it is a soft science fiction movie.

It tells the story of the male protagonist Ivan, who experienced a series of bad things when he was a child, which damaged his original perfect life and even left a very deep childhood shadow. But one day, he will be able to travel through time and space. Ever since, he had the idea of ​​changing the past.

However, everything Ivan changed in the past, when he returned to the present, he found that they brought unexpected results.

And the damage is more serious!

Things got worse and worse, time and space were messed up by him, and a lot of misfortunes followed.

In order to make up for the mistakes, Ivan returned to the past time and time again, trying to eliminate the traces, but things went counterproductive, and his actions could only lead to the gradual collapse of the real world. So over and over again, he ran between the increasingly chaotic past and reality, until the irreversible ending.

The movie has multiple endings, one of which is very gloomy.

In order to prevent the tragedy from repeating, the male protagonist Ivan returned to his mother's womb and strangled himself with an umbilical cord.

The more you cross, the worse!

"A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas in the United States two weeks later."

The movie "Butterfly Effect" came from this.

Before the film was released, as many as 72 trial screenings took place in Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Salt Lake City and other places.

More than 3,000 movie fans analyzed and media reporters participated in the movie's voting;

In the end, the overall evaluation of the film is B+.

This comprehensive evaluation does not refer to the movie’s reputation, but to the box office potential. For an investment cost of only 12, B+ is already a very rare high evaluation.

The theater that was invited to watch the film said: "The film's global box office can exceed 100 million!"

But don’t think the box office is low!

You must know that Hollywood movies produce no more than 50 movies with a box office of more than 100 million yuan each year, or even less.

And this proportion only accounts for 3% of Hollywood's annual production.

Well, most Hollywood movies are at a loss, and they can’t even make it to the theaters. They can only sell DVDs and video tapes.

.......

The next day.

The North American box office on the first day of "Butterfly Effect" has already been released, with a first-day box office of $9.2 million.

"$9.2 million?"

Zhu Ke raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "As far as small-cost movies are concerned, this box office is pretty good. After successive releases, the North American box office has reached 50 million US dollars, which is absolutely easy."

Kevin Fitch smiled and said: "Boss, in the April schedule, we have almost no rivals. The final box office score is over 70 million in North America and 130 million in the global box office. Well, of course this is my personal judgment."

There is a word, Zhu Ke is very recognized.

In this period of April, "Butterfly Effect" is indeed invincible!

Yesterday, there were only 3 movies released at the same time as the "Butterfly Effect", of which only the "Four Eyes Tour" produced by Disney was not bad, but it was not bad!

The North American box office on the first day of "Butterfly Effect" was US$9.2 million;

And Disney’s "Four Eyes Tour", its first day box office was only 4.1 million U.S. dollars, and its reputation was very poor, and it was finally able to get a total box office of 15 million U.S. dollars, even thank God.

What about "Butterfly Effect"?

On scoring sites such as IMDB, the score of "Butterfly Effect" is as high as 9.1 points. Even if the word-of-mouth score declines over time, it will never be lower than 8.5 points.

Other movies also released in April, whether it is Paramount's "Law of Engagement" or Warner's "Fatal Romeo" and other movies, have been unbearable.

The off-season schedule in April 2000, UU reading www. uukanshu.com movie "Butterfly Effect" is invincible!

As the saying goes: good things come one after another!

No, the Golden Dawn Music Company under Zhu Ke also brought good news to Zhu Ke.

Britney Spears’ second solo album, sold 24 million copies worldwide in just one month.

With this reasoning, director Domino immediately made a decision: "Make every effort to build Britney Spears and start a global tour."

Domino also sent Zhuke a concert ticket for the Los Angeles station.

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Ke smiled and said, "I have to go and see her concerts for the few music superstars who can be called global icons in the future."

"" The second update is sent.

Thanks to the lonely **** of war, the ultimate demon king, the dimensional lord, the king of Han Xie Jiu, and your gentle book friends for their rewards.
