We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

It’s the first weekend of May, which means nothing to other industries, but it means a lot to Hollywood.

From this day on, it marks the beginning of Hollywood's most important summer vacation season.

Los Angeles Chinese Theater has been the site of countless classic movie premieres, and today it is destined to mark another major event.

The theater was full at this time. The three Disney giants, the film's creators, guests, film critics, and the audience were all concentrating their eyes on the big screen.

"Hiss", as the plot unfolds, when a huge long-necked dinosaur that occupies half of the screen appears in front of everyone, they are stunned and let out bursts of hissing sounds.

The realistic effect in the picture made many people stare with their mouths wide open.

However, this does not include the three Disney giants and director Spielberg sitting in the front row, who have all seen the sample film.

Listening to the voices in the theater, Eisner raised his lips and turned to the director Spielberg on his left and said, "Steven, congratulations on creating another great epic masterpiece.

Now, you are the greatest director in Hollywood, and no one can deny that."

"Compared to congratulating me, I think you should be happier, Michael? This big dinosaur will definitely make Disney's stock price soar."

After hearing this, Eisner couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"Don't worry, Disney will not treat anyone who has made contributions unfairly. Aren't the three of us the best examples?"

Disney has scheduled its IPO on May 5. By that time, this giant dinosaur should be conquering the world, and it will be hard for Disney's stock price not to rise.

The total share capital is 23 million shares, the issue price is US$115, the market value is US$ billion, and million shares will be issued as circulating shares.

No matter what Disney's stock price is by then, it is a foregone conclusion that it will become the world's largest media group and the first media company with a market value of over $10 billion.

Last year, Sony spent $49 billion to acquire Columbia Pictures. If the $16 billion in debt is included, the total cost is as high as $65 billion.

In terms of movies alone, Disney is not inferior to Columbia, especially after acquiring MGM's film library, which has further increased Disney's foundation.

The Disney NBC Group also has NBC, the largest television station in the United States, as well as other businesses such as Disneyland.

So with a valuation of $115 billion, the issue price of $23 is not high at all.

As for why Eisner was so happy about Disney NBC's listing, it was because he got equity.

Among the three, Katzenberg, who was in charge of the animation business, received the fewest shares, 200 million shares.

Eisner received the most shares, 350 million shares, which is worth more than 115 million US dollars based on the market value of billion US dollars. It will be no problem for the shares to exceed million US dollars after the listing.

This is not cash but high-quality stocks. Cash will depreciate, and Disney and NBC stocks have unlimited room for growth in the future.

The two chatted about some follow-up work, and the plot on the screen was also progressing in an orderly manner.

Dinosaurs appeared one after another, and this time the audience was no longer as surprised as they were the first time.

When night fell, a storm ensued, and the doctor's fat son-in-law caused a power outage in the entire base in order to steal the embryo, their tram stopped on the way back, and they finally met the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

When the terrifying head of Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared on the big screen, the familiar exclamations began again, and many girls screamed in fright.

The ups and downs of the plot and the shocking images made all the audience's eyes dazzled, until the subtitles came out, everyone relaxed.

The lights came on and the audience gave warm applause and cheers.

The main creators went on stage to accept everyone's worship, while Eisner and the other three giants left first.

Maybe the advance of time brought a greater shock, and the good box office made all the relevant practitioners open their eyes wide in disbelief.

In the first three days of the weekend, Jurassic Park grossed $9318 million at the box office. Countless newspapers were reporting on the coming of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and those who didn't know would have thought the end of the world was coming.

Compared with the box office, what is even crazier is the peripheral revenue, which exceeded 100 million yuan in just three days.

It is this kind of movie and this kind of model that has made newspapers across the United States discuss this topic, not just the entertainment editions.

It’s not like Hollywood movies haven’t sold peripheral products before, but they were mostly based on cartoons. Warner’s Batman was the only one that could compete with the animation peripherals.

Jurassic Park opened everyone's eyes to the possibilities of live-action movies, and CG production and the Internet became hot topics again.

In addition to the creative team of Jurassic Park, another person also benefited, that is Michael Clanton, who first proposed the concept and was also one of the consultants for this film.

The idea of ​​resurrecting dinosaurs from ancient mosquito blood in amber was proposed by him in a diary in 1983.

The difference is that the science fiction novel Jurassic Park was supposed to come first, and the movie later.

Now that the movie is out, countless fans hope that he will write it into a novel because the movie cannot express all the stories.

In the second week, after a full week, Jurassic Park once again took in $1.58 million, winning the weekly box office championship for the second consecutive week.

In the third week, the North American box office declined. Although it was still the weekly champion, the box office had dropped to 1.01 million US dollars.

However, starting this week, Jurassic Park was released in major box office regions around the world, such as South America, Western Europe, and Southeast Asia, and it grossed $2.37 million worldwide. The total global box office has accumulated to nearly $4.9 million, which has already exceeded $ million.

The whole month of May can be said to be the dinosaur month, with the box office of Jurassic Park and its peripheral revenue exceeding $300 million.

In addition to these, with the rise of archaeology, some people have proposed building a dinosaur theme park, and some people have organized an effort to find amber containing mosquitoes.

Jurassic Park created more value than any other movie and benefited many people.

The first person to benefit the most is Spielberg. With $1500 plus 15% of the global box office share, this movie is expected to make him a profit of at least $1.5 million, and $ million would not be surprising.

Secondly, there are the actors. Although they are not the protagonists, their positions have been improved.

The most unexpected thing is the software engineers. The major Hollywood companies have set up their own CG studios out of jealousy, and the salaries of related talents have more than doubled.

On May 5, Disney NBC Group officially rang the bell to go public, and the stock price took a super roller coaster ride that day.

As soon as the market opened, the first lot of stock was traded at $28, and then things got out of control.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, the stock price broke through $40 and the market value exceeded billion.

Just when everyone felt crazy, the stock price of Disney NBC plummeted, and it stabilized half an hour before closing, and then it was fixed at around US$31. It closed at US$30.38, and the market value exceeded US$ billion.

When Disney and NBC went public, Eisner, as the top executive, was the most concerned. It was one thing that the stocks he held were worth over 100 million, but if the stock market was unstable, he would be guilty of a great sin.

Disney and NBC have a small number of outstanding shares and a high market value, so it is basically impossible for such stocks to be manipulated behind the scenes.

If there is no problem with the stock, the first person investors will suspect is the Disney NBC Group itself, which will lead to a crisis of confidence.

"Have you found out clearly? Tell me in detail."

“It’s all a problem of the market itself. Jurassic Park’s revenue is too high, and the capital we raise will be invested in the Internet sector, so the market is optimistic about us.

But no one expected that this optimism would push our stock price to such a high level, and many shareholders who received bonus shares started selling with the idea of ​​making a quick buck, which led to this situation."

Knowing that it was the market's own reaction, Eisner breathed a sigh of relief. That night, he didn't even dare to celebrate because he had been waiting for news all the time. Now he could finally have a good sleep.

Although he also hopes that the market value of Disney and NBC will rise, he hopes it will rise normally.

You should know that he has periodic dividends. If Disney's market value exceeds 150 billion US dollars, he will get another 200 million shares, and if it exceeds billion US dollars, he will get another million shares.

At that time, these stocks would make his net worth over $700 million, and he didn't want any trouble to happen.
