"Boss, Iron Man's box office sales are very good. It should be higher than Casino Royale!" Ralph is overjoyed.
What was 007? It was the most famous secret agent movie series, and it had been around for a long time. Also, it is very popular in Europe and Asia.
Iron Man is only popular in North America, but not many people in Europe and Asia have heard of it. Marvel's most famous comic book heroes are Spider-Man, Hulk, and X-Man.
But it was such a previously unknown Iron Man that gave them a big surprise at the box office after its release.
The production cost is about the same as 007, and the box office sales are higher. This is a success.
Although 007 can drive the sales of a series of movie discs and other products, Iron Man can also drive the sales of Marvel products, and even toys and other products, which may sell better.
Most importantly, this proves that Feng Yu's acquisition of Marvel Pictures is a success. Those who mocked Boss and Wind and Rain Holdings Group had received a slap on their faces!
Feng Yu took out a cigar from the box and tossed one to Ralph. "Let MGM and Marvel's people keep an eye on this. You can focus on the acquisition of the vehicles."
"Boss, Tong Yong and Ford felt our conditions are too low, but their conditions are too high. Didn't you say that the loan crisis will become more serious? At that time, they will suffer more losses. They have no choice but to agree to our conditions. Tata Motors had the same idea. "
"Yes. Remember, you must acquire those major brands and shares. As for the rest, you can do as you see fit. Be careful not to let other consortiums take over! "
If Tong Yong and Ford sell their businesses to other consortiums, Feng Yu will be embarrassed.
How can the World's Richest Man snatch away the businesses he wants? Furthermore, Feng Yu had promised Zhang Ruiqiang and the rest.
"Don't worry, Boss. They had been contacting me for the past few days, and I know about those companies. Some of their executives are leaning towards us."
Tong Yong and Ford were going to sell off their businesses, and many of their executives were going to be sold off as well. They were rushing to please their new owners.
They didn't feel the slightest bit of resistance when they joined the Wind and Rain Holding Group. Feng Yu was a famous gold digger. Under Tong Yong and Ford, they suffered losses. But in Feng Yu's hands, they would definitely make money.
If the company made money, the executives would naturally earn more. Most executives' salaries were linked to the company's performance.
"It's good that you know what to do. By the way, tell MGM and Marvel that the planned filming must be completed. By the end of the year, we must see Invincible Hulk released. "
In his previous life, Marvel movies made a lot of money, but it was not as much as the merchandise. Just like Disney Pictures, why did they have to release animated films every year? It was because they could interact with their Disneyland and other industries and earn more money from it.
Marvel movies are the same. Movies are profitable, but the merchandise is more profitable. Comics, costumes, props, toys, games, character images, etc., are all profitable.
Before Feng Yu's rebirth, Marvel was valued at more than 20 billion USD, and Feng Yu only spent a few billion USD to acquire Marvel. These billions of USD can be earned back in a few years, and Marvel's value will rise several times in his hands.
This kind of investment had high returns and was stable. It was a very good investment.
At this time, Feng Yu's phone rang.
"Sergey, why are you calling me?" Google should not have any problems. They have sufficient funds, and their business is developing well. Their expansion is also the fastest.
Usually, Feng Yu will contact Ralph or Kameda Masao if he needs anything. Why did he call Feng Yu this time?
"Chairman, look at the freshness of Iron Man on Rotten Tomatoes. It's obvious that someone is giving Iron Man bad data!" Sergey knows how important Feng Yu is to Marvel, and that's why he told Feng Yu about this news.
Rotten Tomatoes is under Google because it requires a lot of data to support it. This is what Google is good at.
Google had invested less than 30 million USD into Rotten Tomatoes, and someone offered 600 million USD to buy it last year. But Feng Yu did not even sell it.
This Rotten Tomatoes business is not only affecting movies, but it can also complement Google, Facebook, Youtubo, etc. In the future, Rotten Tomatoes will also affect Amazon's cultural products, like music and books. Why would Feng Yu sell it?
Those people are willing to buy it at a high price is because this company can bring them higher profits.
Feng Yu clicked on Rotten Tomatoes' website. Iron Man is currently screening, and he can see it on the homepage.
53% Freshness?
Less than 60% means the movie is not fresh, and it will not pass the rating!
But something is not right. Feng Yu had paid attention to the movie on the second day, and the freshness is over 90%!
How come it dropped so much in such a short time? Sergey is right. Someone must be giving bad reviews to Iron Man.
It was just like how there were Star Wars fans who, in order to push Star Wars to the top, ended up giving negative reviews to other movies that were similar to Star Wars, pushing Star Wars to the top.
But that could only be done after the movie stopped screening. The movie was still being screened, and it would affect many people who were preparing to watch the movie!
"Sergey, go and find out who is giving bad reviews. Also, organize people to get the ratings back!"
Getting bad reviews? Rotten Tomatoes is owned by Google, and none of you can win against Google.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Ralph saw Feng Yu's face changed. Feng Yu was still talking and laughing a while ago, and he became like this after answering a call.
From what Feng Yu said, it should be Google's Sergey. But Ralph had read Google's emails this morning, and everything is normal.
"Someone is giving Iron Man a low rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Go and find out if there are any negative reviews for Iron Man on other media. "
To Feng Yu, Iron Man is a good movie. Even if he doesn't like it, he must admit that the special effects are good. It's just like why Batman is so popular. It's because he is an ordinary person and not an alien like Superman.
Iron Man and Batman have something in common. Both are tall, rich, and handsome. Huh … Maybe to many people, Iron Man is not as handsome as Batman.
But there are only two types of reviews for such a movie. Like and average. Why are there so many bad reviews?
Where did all these bad reviews come from?
