From 1988 to the present, Daenerys TV business, the main income has been from the "Who Will Be a Millionaire" series of reality shows.

In the past five years, these reality TV shows have more or less shown the fatigue of continuous decline in popularity.

Daenerys TV has accumulated enough experience in the field of reality TV, coupled with many classic ideas in Simon's mind, it stands to reason that the TV department can actually continue to innovate.

Simon didn't do that.

Mainly to wait for Daenerys Entertainment to get its own public television network.

Moreover, even if the stamina is insufficient, the income of these reality shows is still very rich, and there is no need to rush to introduce new ones and eliminate themselves.

On the other hand, Daenerys TV has also achieved very good results in TV series in recent years. Just one "Seinfeld" is enough for the TV department to eat for many years.

This TV series, which has become more and more popular in the past two years, once had a position no less than "Friends" in the history of North American TV.

Even if the first round of broadcasts is completed, Daenerys TV can continue to make very considerable profits by relying on the syndicated copyright of this TV series, just like the "Friends" in memory, the original time and space, Netflix in order to retain the "Friends" Play rights, and even a huge copyright fee of 100 million US dollars a year.

After the merger of mca, Daenerys TV began to focus on cable TV.

Relying on the two trump cards of the Housewives reality series and "Desperate Housewives", usa has become one of the highest-rated basic cable networks in North America, and has firmly occupied the position of professional women's channel.

Although fashion tv, which was launched at the beginning of the year, did not have the rapid rise of Daenerys by relying on several phenomenon-level reality shows, nor did it have the scale of the usa TV network, but since its launch, the development momentum has been very stable, and it has basically been established in North America. The cable television sector has gained a firm footing.

After the rise of the cable television industry, many cable television stations were born in North America every year, and a large number of cable television stations also died out.

Fashion TV can gain a firm foothold across the country, definitely not so easy on the surface.

After carefully combing Daenerys Entertainment's TV business for two days over the weekend, Simon flew back to the West Coast on Sunday afternoon, but the destination was San Francisco.

AOL plans to officially launch its own portal 'www.aol.com' on Monday.

Until now, it is mainly to improve its own e-mail system, which is a great tool for the portal website to attract fixed customer groups.

The reason why Microsoft, which has been authorized to operate e-mail technology business, has not yet launched the msn portal in preparation, is also to improve the layout of e-mail and other technologies. As a competitor in this field, although Igreit is based on the technology authorization of the two companies, it will not give more support.

AOL also has a big advantage over Microsoft.

The company itself has a huge user base of tens of millions, which can be directly converted into email accounts. The AOL team even omitted the activation steps, and the default users automatically opened their mailboxes.

Of course, the two companies, which are about to launch the portal business, also need to face another very important problem, how to win customers from Igreit, which controls the IE browser software, an important Internet portal.

In this regard, AOL also has certain advantages.

After the revision of its own network login software, in addition to logging in to the World Wide Web, this software has also expanded into a mini portal interface, which is used to open the IE browser and jump to the AOL portal by clicking on the information content on the interface. .

Obviously, this kind of mini portal interface has obvious suspicion of rubbing browser software.

In fact it is.

If Igret and AOL are not controlled by a parent company, but only the portal interface, it may spark a war of infringement lawsuits.

Simon had personally come forward to coordinate the matter.

After repeated negotiations between the two company teams, an agreement was finally reached.

AOL can continue to promote this interface, but this interface must not be directly powered by the browser to display content, and the link must jump to the IE browser software. At the same time, 50% of the recommended information on the mini-interface must come from the Ygrit portal.

Finally, when it comes to related patents, AOL must also pay Igret's expensive patent fees.

Using a dual-class share structure, Simon has a firm grip on both AOL and Igret.

The negotiation results of the two teams are, to a large extent, a reflection of Simon's personal will.

AOL will definitely not develop into an Internet media company in the original time and space, but will firmly lock in the identity of an Internet service provider and develop into a broader comprehensive telecommunications service provider. The company has set the tone for growth.

Now, the reason why the company is allowed to carry out the portal business is mainly to ride the wave of new technology.

In the increasingly turbulent Internet bubble, owning a portal business, just this gimmick, is enough to raise AOL's share price by a large margin.

Not only that, AOL's portal business can also share the potential monopoly pressure of Igreit Portal.

Therefore, most of the content-wise business of the Igret Portal, AOL

It will be opened gradually. However, AOL will not develop the core online payment system, search engine system and other tools independently, but plans to directly use Igreat's on-site products to embed its own site, which is also the most important clause in the cooperation agreement reached by the two parties.

So, for Simon, a latecomer, AOL's portal is basically an Airbus without its own core products.

Of course, the capital market does not see it that way.

In the eyes of many new technology investors, from print media to TV media to online media, this is a potential development trend in the media industry. Therefore, the concept of media is more sought after by the capital market than the concept of technology.

AOL's ability to break Igreit's monopoly on content in a different way, even if the two companies have one boss behind the scenes, is a very rare thing.

On Monday, with the release of the AOL portal, AOL's stock price rose rapidly. By the end of the afternoon on the east coast, the single-day increase reached 2.9%, and the market value reached a new high, reaching 37.1 billion US dollars, and the market value increased by 1.056 billion throughout the day. Dollar.

According to Westeros' 66.1% shareholding in AOL, after the close of the day, an analyst at Goldman Sachs posted AOL's stock price chart on his Facebook page, along with the sentence 'Westeros The day: Oh, another $698 million'.

It was originally an inconspicuous piece of many similar sentiments on the Internet platform.

However, under the conscious or unintentional operation of the facebook operation team, this news was directly linked to the popular label.

Subsequently, Sandra Bullock's reposts and comments sparked wider discussions.

The actress, who everyone knows is Simon's personal friend, reposted it with a smiley and crying emoji: 'Forget it, I need 175 years to earn so much'.

Immediately, a series of queues were triggered.

Both star certified users and ordinary users have joined the discussion.

‘Forget it, to earn so much, I need 3826 years. ’

‘Forget it, to earn so much, I need 861 years. ’

‘Forget it, to earn so much, I need 99 years. ’

'Forget it, to earn so much, I need 12663 years. ’

‘Forget it, to earn so much, I need 26453 years. ‘

'Forget it...'

‘…’

In the days that followed, the discussion quickly spread from internet platforms to traditional media, with serious financial newspapers and witty and light-hearted talk shows discussing how long it would take to make $698 million.

The result is that everyone is a little sad and flows into a river.

Powerlessness.

Almost everyone's most real feelings.

If it were someone else, it might also spark a wider debate about things like the gap between the rich and the poor.

However, in the eyes of many people, Westeros is already an anomaly, and it is completely impossible to speculate with common sense.

After all, if it is a group of people whose wealth has skyrocketed, such as Wall Street bankers or Silicon Valley upstarts, they may be able to "rob the rich and help the poor" through tax adjustment. Now, this is just one person.

The federal government can't be too direct on what restrictions it plans to target an individual.

After years of accumulation, not only personal wealth, Simon Westeros also has considerable influence in the federal political circle, which can be seen from the last visit of the new president to Silicon Valley. Therefore, this young man also It is absolutely impossible to be someone who can be manipulated by anyone.

This is obvious.

Therefore, some media on the bright side can only call on a certain guy to spend more money on charitable causes and give back to the society.

The Simon \u0026 Janet Westeros Foundation has been promoting philanthropy very strongly in recent years. Compared with many rich people who have been stalked by the media and then hurriedly started charitable programs to maintain their reputation, the Westeros couple is definitely called Generosity, this, is really beyond reproach.

Therefore, the final result of this small public opinion turmoil is still to attract more capital to pay attention to the new technology field.

Hollywood here.

The first week of summer vacation is over quickly.

From May 21 to May 27, Sylvester Stallone's most important new film of the week, "The Heroes of the Mountain", the first week box office disappointed the producer Columbia Pictures, compared with 35 million to 40 million US dollars. In the first week, it was expected that, in fact, only 25.02 million US dollars were made in the seven days of opening.

Taking into account the "Superman" on June 4th, even if the next week's decline can be maintained within a fairly good range, the total North American box office of "The Legend of the Mountain" is likely to only reach between 70 million and 80 million US dollars. .

However, the blockbuster cost just $70 million to make.

Colombia is relatively stingy in publicity, but it has also invested 20 million.

The production and distribution costs totaled $90 million, and it would take $250 million to $300 million worldwide to recoup the upfront investment at the box office.

North America only has a box office forecast of 70 to 80 million US dollars. It is unlikely that the global box office of "The Hero of the Mountain" can reach 250 million US dollars. You must know that if it was the past, Stallone may still have a strong box office call in overseas markets. However, now, especially in this summer season, the competitiveness of "Superman" will be stronger, which will inevitably squeeze the living space of "Heroes of the Mountain" overseas.

Although it is not difficult to return to capital through omni-channel operation, for Colombia, this project is basically a waste of time.

Relatively speaking, Stallone comfortably took a huge $15 million salary and was the biggest winner of this project.

Of course, no matter in this time and space, or in Simon's memory, Stallone's popularity was greatly diminished after "The Heroes of the Mountain", and there were no heavyweight movies until many years later when a group of old men gathered together to create the "The Expendables" series. Only regained some popularity.

After "The Legend of the Mountain", the comedy film "Made in America" ​​starring Whoopi Goldberg won the second place on the box office list this week, with a box office of 14.1 million in seven days.

"Made in America" ​​is far from comparable to last year's "Nuns Are Crazy" in terms of word of mouth and box office, and is expected to gross between $40 million and $50 million in North America.

In addition to the two new films, Simon is more concerned about the "Bruce Bruce Biography" launched by New World Pictures on May 14.

This biographical film, which cost $14 million to make, earned $12.96 million in the first week of filming. The box office dropped by 37% in the second week of May 21, and received another $8.12 million, bringing the total box office to $21.08 million in two weeks. The total box office is expected to be around $35 million, but the North American release will roughly recover the cost.

Moreover, this movie was actually developed together with the fighting game of the same name, and the works of the two series were also promoted at the same time.

At the same time that it was released on May 14, the fighting game of the same name on the Nintendo platform was also officially launched in North America and Asia at the same time. Relying on Bruce Lee's widespread popularity in North America and Asia, the game cassette sold 260,000 boxes in the first week, and the total sales are expected to reach 150. million, and sales are around $90 million.

Obviously, Daenerys Entertainment made a lot more profit from the game of the same name than the movie of the same name.

On May 28, a new week, the North American theaters once again had two heavyweight films, namely Disney's "Super Mario Bros." adapted from Nintendo's phenomenal video game, and another film produced by an independent animation company. "Fairy Tale Ending" developed by the company's filmation studio.

Super Mario Bros. needs no words.

The high production cost of 48 million US dollars is a super big hole in Simon's view, because there is not much information about the film in his memory.

Another "Fairy Tale Ending" is actually quite interesting.

This is an animated film that tells the follow-up to Snow White, and the plot is about the story of the prince and the princess after they live together. The film was actually developed in 1990. It was originally intended to be called "Snow White: The End of a Fairy Tale", but of course Disney disagreed, believing that it was likely to be misunderstood as a sequel to Disney's classic animation "Snow White", so it worked with filmation. After more than two years of litigation, the final result was that the film was renamed "Fairy Tale Ending".

The two films that were almost destined to hit the streets did not arouse Simon's mood. This weekend, what attracted Simon's attention was that Canada's Seagram Group quietly started the acquisition of Paramount Communications.
