Hollywood Hunter

The headquarters of the Nasdaq exchange in midtown Manhattan.

Near the opening time of 9:30 a.m., in the exchange hall filled with people like canned sardines, the atmosphere became more and more hot. Paul Einholt, a reporter from "Barron's Weekly", looked at the audience who gave an ipo speech on the stage. Chairman and CEO Deborah Lipman and the surrounding women a, b, c who participated in this IPO viewing ceremony, as well as a group of women such as waist essence, leg essence, etc., are very kind to write an article "Women of Westeros" their impulse.

This is probably something that many journalists have longed for in recent years, just like how a gossip tabloid in Los Angeles listed 164 girlfriends of Howard Hughes, causing a sensation.

Too bad I can only think about it.

Howard Hughes just sent someone to buy out all the newspapers of the day, but there is no more follow-up, but if it is placed on Simon Westero, who would dare to expose the super rich's lace scandal like this, absolutely can't eat it. go.

After all, the current influence of the Westeros system has exceeded the level of 'when the money starts to speak, the truth will shut up', the collision between the Hearst family and Simon Westeros two years ago The American media that has been 'free' for more than half a century has once again felt the power of money.

Subsequently, the strengthened layout of the Westeros system in various aspects such as politics and the media made public opinion more and more powerless in the face of the Westeros system.

Let's just say that Paul Einholt himself, last week's "Barron's" article analyzing the Hollywood landscape, was written by this reporter, only a rather vague hint of Daenerys Entertainment's Hollywood monopoly tended, and then encountered direct pressure from the parent company Dow Jones Group, suggesting that similar articles should not be published in the future.

Today, Paul was specially dispatched to conduct an interview at the listing site, which was an opportunity given to him by the editor-in-chief to 'make up for his faults'. Generally speaking, he would definitely write a splendid compliment article next. Good intentions.

As long as the article is published next week, the public relations team of the Westeros system, which is always watching the trends of the American media, realizes that his attitude has changed, and probably will no longer record him on some blacklists.

After all, there is no real freedom in the media.

Even the Watergate incident at that time was only the result of the fierce competition between the two parties in the United States at that time. Otherwise, a newspaper that could only be supported by a widow because of the suicide of its boss, how dared to provoke the powerful President Nixon at that time.

Thinking of this, Paul Einholt only felt that a very serious problem facing the United States now is the lack of a force that can fight against the Westeros system, whether it is a capital force or a political force. Without checks and balances, the Westeros system's grip on the country will only grow stronger.

Of course, still just thinking about it.

Paul Einholt, a middle-aged man with a wife and son, never wanted to be a martyr who fought against capital in the past, or he would not have taken over the guy he is today.

In a second, the D girl on the stage finished her speech, and Paul Einholt quickly applauded along with the crowd.

Immediately, at 9:30, several senior executives, surrounded by all the guests, pressed the button symbolizing the ringing of the bell, announcing that the stock officially started trading on the Nasdaq market.

The first is the inquiry stage, which is also a point that many people are very concerned about today.

Because the valuation of the IPO is really low, the industry previously estimated that even if the valuation of this photo sharing website is determined to be more than 10 billion US dollars, it turned out to be only 6 billion US dollars. While many smart people quickly understood the intent of the Westeros system, nothing could stop things from moving in the direction some people expected.

After all, this kind of 'cheap', how can the capital of all parties not occupy it.

So, more than 20 minutes after the opening, when the results of the first round of inquiries came out, both on and off the field were amazed.

$17.00 - $18.00.

Even if the median value is taken, the increase in the first round of inquiries will directly exceed half, reaching 52%, which also means that the market value has reached about 10.3 billion US dollars, directly breaking the 10 billion US dollar mark.

Sure enough, stimulated by the popularity after the listing, the Nasdaq's new technology sector rose by more than 1% within half an hour of the opening, and the stock trading volume was significantly higher than in previous days.

After the first round, and after four subsequent rounds of inquiries, when the stock officially began to trade freely, the stock price has exceeded 23 US dollars.

After the official start of trading, Paul Einholt reluctantly got a chance to ask questions at another small media meeting of the management, and left an interview room of the exchange. The photographer Leonard who was beside Paul suddenly He couldn't help but said, "I now wish I was a woman."

Paul knew why Leonard suddenly sighed, and the two returned to the hall, intending to continue watching the game until noon, while saying: "It's not difficult to do this now, but Simon Westeros probably Don't like trans people, maybe you stay as a man and there's a little chance."

"Impossible," said Leonard, who had long hair and was actually very attractive to girls. "According to my observations over the years, Simon Westeros is very straight, very straight."

Paul looked up at the stock price indicator in the hall, still smiling: "This is really a pity."

Leonard didn't mean to skip the topic, but said, "Just now, did you notice the little girl next to Lady D?"

"Jennifer Bray

? "

"So you know it too."

Paul nodded, feeling both emotional and envious, and said, "The girl who jumped on the stage when Westeros cameo at Madonna's concert, frankly speaking, this girl should be the most successful 'guoer' in history. With no less than 10 million shares, based on the current stock price, the net worth has exceeded 200 million US dollars. If it continues to rise, it may even be on the "Forbes" list next year, and the star chaser will catch up with "Forbes". List, I haven't heard the second one."

Leonard also sighed, and looked at the stock price display with Paul and asked, "What do you think the highest market value can be?"

"It's hard to say, it also depends on the follow-up performance of this website," Paul shook his head and said, "However, with a huge user base of 160 million, the market value of 10 billion US dollars is more than enough, not to mention that this company has With the behind-the-scenes support of the Westeros system, I think Igret may acquire it in its entirety in the follow-up."

"This is unlikely. Igret's current monopoly trend is so obvious. Even if the Justice Department's investigation this time is still just a pretense of the Clinton administration, Igret will never be allowed to continue to expand, otherwise some other same Type-competing sites will definitely make a fuss."

"Nothing is impossible, as long as Westeros feels it is necessary. What's more, the business is too single. Once it enters the bottleneck, it will either be incorporated or actively expand into other fields. Obviously, the former is easier."

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a slight noise around them.

"500 billion, 500 billion!"

"Wow, $500 billion for the third one, how long will the fourth one take?"

"Igreat, what about Igreat's stock price?"

"..."

In the hustle and bustle, before the two could inquire, several sets of stock information appeared on the largest stock price display in the exchange hall.

It turned out that after Igret and Daenerys, Cisco's market value officially broke through the $500 billion mark during this morning's rise, becoming the third super giant in the North American stock market with a market value of $500 billion .

Not only that, but the market value of Igreat, which has exceeded 600 billion US dollars in a single week after the election, has also exceeded 650 billion US dollars a month later, and it is obviously accelerating towards an even more terrifying market value of 700 billion US dollars. .

Simon only heard the news when he arrived at the celebration reception at a hotel in Midtown at noon.

The morning is really busy, and there are many other things to focus on.

For example, the North American box office situation just ended a box office week. There is not much suspense about this. "Wonder Woman 2" easily won the second consecutive week, and the single-week box office of the following week still exceeded 100 million, reaching 101.22 million US dollars, becoming the second "Batman" The second film after Superman: Dawn of Justice to break the billion-dollar mark for two consecutive weeks.

In half a month of its release, the cumulative box office of "Wonder Woman 2" also reached 254.95 million US dollars. It can be said that 400 million is a certainty, and only 500 million is still in suspense. It mainly depends on the specific performance of the films in the next Christmas season.

This can be said to be quite confusing.

Because the two main Christmas movies, "Jumanji" and "Charlie's Angels", are also led by Daenerys Entertainment, if these two projects meet expectations, it may mean "Wonder Woman 2" The follow-up box office potential will be suppressed. On the contrary, "Wonder Woman 2" may exceed 500 million US dollars. The box office results of these two opening projects will inevitably not look good.

Except for "Wonder Woman 2", the other films in the past week, including Disney's "101 Dalmatians", which finally received only $24.39 million in its full first week, are not worth mentioning.

What needs to be mentioned is a new film, "Soul Catcher", which is being screened today.

As Daenerys Entertainment's award-winning hit this year, of course, no accident, it will also be a box-office hit. "Good Will Hunter" seems to be a literary film of a newcomer's new work, but in the packaging of Daenerys Entertainment , has recently become famous.

Just talking about the main creator, in addition to the long-established director Gus Van Sant and the famous Robert De Niro, the other three young actors, as screenwriters and the first male supporting role, also used it some time ago. "Boogie Nights" has gained high popularity, and the heroine Kate Beckinsale is one of the heroines of "Charlie's Angels", which will be highlighted at the end of the year.

Against the backdrop of these filmmakers, coupled with the $10 million publicity budget invested by the Gaomen Pictures team in advance, "Good Will Hunter" has already locked in the recent movie viewing hotspots in advance.

All that's missing is a point-of-view.

In fact, in addition to word of mouth, another reason for choosing to start the screening on December 6 is that the Golden Globe Awards in January next year will announce the nominations on the following December 11. At that time, the media will be obtained through the screening. At the same time as the audience's word of mouth, "Good Will Hunter" can also be nominated for the Golden Globe Award and once again won a marketing hotspot.

Therefore, compared with the usual two-week screening cycle of other films, "Good Will Hunting" will only be screened for one week, and will be released on a large scale with "Jumanji" on December 13.

As for the prospect of the film, Simon is not worried at all.

You must know that the former "Good Will Hunter" was released almost together with "Titanic" in the same period. Under the strong crush of the big ship, it still showed the power of commercial films with the theme of literary films, and not only won a series of Oscar nominations , just in North America, it won a box office of 130 million US dollars.

Now, under the quality of the film that Simon personally ensures, both the main creator and the announcement have been significantly upgraded. Even if he has to survive under the attack of "Jumanji" and "Charlie's Angels", Simon is not worried at all. After all, no matter how fierce "Jumanji" and "Charlie's Angels" are, they are probably not as fierce as "Titanic".

The scene of the afternoon celebration reception.

As soon as Simon arrived, he was entangled by Jenny, who had changed into a little white dress, and didn't care about the eyes of other guests around him.

Just tapped on the forehead of this pseudo-loli who had nothing to do with Loli for a long time but stayed in the one-meter-five range, and let the girl hold her, Simon went to the girls D and the others, congratulating them with a smile.

Immediately, not only a, b, c, d, waist essence, leg essence, Indian girls, etc. and women listed, but also Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, etc. who received invitations to participate in the listing ceremony. Waiting for a large number of supermodel Internet celebrities to gather around Simon.

Seeing that Simon Westeros was soon surrounded by a group of women, other guests at the scene inevitably gave birth to the same thoughts of a photographer in the morning's "Barron's".

Of course, the thoughts of the female guests at the scene are even more complicated.

Women are more mad than women.

Not to mention the C-girl Claire Gein, who was directly squeezed to the third position on the Forbes 400 richest list this year with a net worth of 29.5 billion US dollars, but today's listing has once again created several people who are obviously similar to Simon Westeros. Close-knit female billionaires.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the fairies at the scene will gather around Simon.

Everyone has been in the circle for many years and has become a master. Who would think that he is much worse than the founders. What everyone lacks is just an opportunity.

A certain man, obviously, can easily give them this opportunity.

It's a pity that some people want to move up, and of course some people are strictly guarding it, but it turns out that it is not easy to talk to Simon Westeros.

On Simon's side, after talking about the stock price trend in the morning, the girl D who was standing beside Simon didn't want to let go at all, and directly turned the topic to a non-work direction: "Boss, we all heard about the performance of the Metropolitan Opera House tomorrow. Well, but I forgot to say hello in advance, when I asked about it today, a said that there are no tickets, but we want to see it tomorrow night, what should we do?"

The girl D's tone was a bit coquettish, and she didn't have the style of the founder of a tens of billions of new technology companies.

However, Simon could only shake his head at this: "That means there are really no tickets, or Sunday night..." Then he looked at Girl A, and seeing that she was still shaking his head, he couldn't, he could only shrug.
