Chapter 675: Ways to Cheat People
For example, one review reads: "It wasn't good. I fell asleep for two hours in the cinema."

This made the fans who came to scold him confused: "Dude, this is a TV series? How can you watch it in the cinema?"

The troll even replied: "It's a mistake, but it doesn't look good anyway."

After confirming that it was an enemy, the fans quickly called for help and besieged the navy.

However, a drop in ratings is inevitable. In addition, there are also people who gave the series low scores because of the sacrifices of Rebecca and David.

This weekend after the end of the tenth episode, the score of "Edgewalker" dropped to 9.0 points. But there is no doubt that this series is destined to become a classic.

The question that the audience is most concerned about is whether there will be a sequel to the series?
In this regard, Gilbert's personal social account revealed that subsequent works are being further developed. Not only movies, theme parks, but also various peripheral toys.

In addition, large-scale games will be developed in the future to allow fans to experience the world of Cyberpunk firsthand.

When this news was released, fans immediately cheered and left messages saying that Adam Hammer must appear in the game.

It seems like fans can’t stop hating Adam Sledgehammer and they all want to teach him a lesson in person in the game.

During the period when "EdgeWalker" continued to be popular, the sales of related peripheral products alone created a record of 2 million US dollars.

Rebecca's doll sold like crazy after the tenth episode, achieving a single-day sales of 650 million U.S. dollars, and it continues to contribute to sales.

Sales of other kinds of toys and dolls were good, and some model cars sold even better.

Xigua Video also gave some peripheral products to lucky viewers through a lucky draw on the video platform. Amazon's official website also started taking reservations for the Edgewalker setting collection, and the number of reservations has exceeded 100,000.

In Hollywood, the commercial development of a popular IP is absolutely professional and there are many ways to do it. Gilbert doesn't need to worry about these specific tasks, as they are all handled by professionals.

After all the broadcast dates of "EdgeWalker" ended, Gilbert Jr. temporarily ended all his work on "EdgeWalker" and set off for China with Ivanka.

And the weekend after Edgewalker finished, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix produced by Cantaloupe Studios was released.

This is the fifth film in the Harry Potter series, and it continues to be starred by the Gryffindor Big Three. The three have starred in the Harry Potter series and have become world-renowned movie stars and are very popular.

Of course, the pay of the three actors is also constantly increasing.

According to the latest contract, Haley, who plays Harry Potter among the trio, has received a salary of $1500 million plus percent of the box office share.

In fact, the actor's agent initially offered a salary of twenty plus twenty, but the producer of the crew was tough and planned to replace him if the negotiation failed. In addition, Haley made his own choice, so he signed the contract.

Another is Emma Watson, whose salary also rose to $1000 million, plus a 20% share of the box office, making her the highest-paid actress under the age of , even higher than many veteran actors.

You should know that Scarlett's salary for starring in "Captain America" ​​this year was only 8 million US dollars, which was even pitifully low before.

Of course, Emma Watson can only get this price in the Harry Potter movies. In other movies, she can only get 6 million US dollars, and she doesn't get any share of the box office.

So Emma Watson is particularly envious of Emma Roberts. The role of Rebecca is obviously very classic, no worse than her Hermione.

If she had played Rebecca at that time, Emma Watson would have proved that she could get rid of the Hermione label and her salary would have increased.

So Emma Watson thought that she had to be more diligent in going to Cantaloupe Manor in the future, because she couldn't get this opportunity if it came up. In fact, the increasing pay of actors is definitely something that investors don't want to see, because it is relative to the money they take away from them.

However, Hollywood has sufficient experience in this regard and has considerable room for maneuver.

For example, when Disney released the movie "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", it could have set up a separate sub-studio to distribute it and operate the accounts independently.

The money this subsidiary studio used for the distribution was borrowed from Disney. Although it was borrowing from the left pocket to the right pocket, a debt was created out of thin air.

So when the accounts are settled, there will be a sum of money to pay off the debt. Although it is called paying off the debt, it is actually taking the money from the left pocket to the right pocket, but an expense is generated out of thin air.

In this way, although the film performed well at the box office, it incurred losses in the accounts.

Since they are all losing money, of course there is no share of the box office revenue.

These messy accounts would take even the most professional accounting team at PricewaterhouseCoopers several months to figure out, not to mention that many Hollywood stars are illiterate and can't understand them.

Of course, big Hollywood companies don’t actually use it much on celebrity actors; it’s most often used on Wall Street.

Many cases have been brought to the Delaware Commercial Court because of accounting issues and profit sharing tricks. However, these lawsuits often drag on for several years or even more than ten years, and may not be concluded, which really makes Wall Street exhausted.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The most typical example is "Jurassic Park 2", a private equity fund on Wall Street invested million US dollars, but in the end, not a penny was recovered and all was lost.

But in fact, "Jurassic Park 2" was a global hit, and Spielberg alone took home $2 million in compensation from the project.

The private equity fund was so angry that it took the film's producer, Universal Pictures, to court. As a result, the case has not been concluded until now, and more than ten years have passed.

Little Gilbert actually quite likes this trio, but personal feelings will not affect his business judgment, and he will still make the mistakes.

It's just that he doesn't have to do it himself, so he doesn't feel guilty.

However, no matter how much calculations were made behind the scenes, it did not affect the box office success of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", which earned 8359 million US dollars in the first week.

The first week box office performance was quite good, and what was even more surprising was the overseas first week box office.

This time, the film was released simultaneously in 1 overseas markets and North America, and generated overseas box office revenue of 5300 million US dollars in the first week.

Including the North American box office in its first week, the film grossed $2 million worldwide in its first week, winning the weekly box office championship.

There is no doubt that "Harry Potter" has cultivated countless fans around the world, and these fans have continued to generate revenue for the "Harry Potter" film series.

The British newspaper The Guardian published a set of data showing that since the release of Harry Potter, the number of tourists traveling to the UK has increased by 30% year-on-year.

These tourists have brought different degrees of growth to the UK's consumption of catering, accommodation, and cultural and creative products. British style has even become a dream pursued by the petty bourgeoisie in Asian countries, especially in China, Japan, and South Korea.

More achievements are generated from the huge industrial chain, which is worth tens of billions of dollars and is also an area that Warner Bros. is unwilling to give up.
