The third week of the screening of "Bad Guy" continued to win the North American weekly box office championship with a single-day output of US$14.23 million, which is the third time it has been at the top of the list in a row.

I can only say that there are really no strong competitors in this schedule, and it is very suitable for the performance of the film.

After June, these newly released movies, such as "A Different World" and "Infinite Heaven", can be seen as a standard bad movie just by listening to the names.

But there will be no such good luck next week, as Walt Disney's new computer animation film "Finding Nemo" will be released.

This is a big IP that made a lot of money in later generations, and each movie made Disney make a lot of money.

By the way, the producer Pixar Animation Studio is really amazing.

It can be said that it has promoted the production of computer three-dimensional animations with its own strength. It not only designed professional software, but also programmed extremely complete special effects systems.

Now the biggest shareholder behind them is I believe everyone is familiar with it, Steve Jobs, the current CEO of Apple.

As early as 1986, he was keen on the scent of Pixar's predecessor, Industrial Light and Magic, for $10 million.

In 1995, Disney released the world's first fully computer-made animated feature film "Toy Story", which finally broke the record in the American animated film industry with a box office of 192 million US dollars. It earned 360 million US dollars worldwide.

As for "Toy Story 2", "Beast Crisis", "Monster Electric Power Company"... none of the animation movies released one after another have lost money, and they always refresh the box office history they have created.

However, since the release of "The Bad Guy", it has achieved a box office of US$276 million. The screenings in North America will gradually decline over time. This is a normal release cycle. After all, not every movie is "Titanic", and the more it is screened, the more popular it becomes.

According to this development momentum, as the number of screening theaters gradually decreases, Paramount predicts that when movies are painted offline in North America, it should be more than 300 million.

Overseas distribution is purely profitable and without losses. The box office is likely to be as high as North America, but so many ticket stores will not be much worse.

......

In Nicholas Cage's mansion in Los Angeles.

Lehman is discussing something with him.

By the way, "The Bad Guy" has a good box office revenue. Although it has not been released yet, there is naturally no way to divide the accounts. However, under the estimated numbers, Lehmann also wanted to buy a house in the United States and use it as a development base.

Then he came to Cage.

The real estate industry in the United States is also quite deep. Instead of finding an agency to choose a house if you are not familiar with the place, it is better to find someone close to you who is very experienced in this regard.

Coincidentally, Cage was on his way back to Los Angeles after the publicity ended. After hearing that he had this idea, he volunteered to help with reference.

"Why did you think you would buy a house at this time?" Cage asked the butler to help pour two cups of coffee in the living room and asked.

"Are you rich? You can feel more at ease when buying a suite here."

This is not a joke about Lehman. He is actually quite insecure. He has actually saved a lot of money in filming in the past two years, but he has been reluctant to use it.

After all, when he wanted to come, he would either not do it or do it. If he wanted to do it, he would do it better and live in it comfortably.

But abroad is not as good as domestic. It doesn’t mean that you can buy it once and for all. The subsequent annual maintenance fee and value-added tax are a considerable burden.

Let’s just say that, maybe I would spend less money at the beginning, but paying money to the tax bureau year by year is equivalent to raising a father for no reason, or the kind of person who doesn’t do anything to produce.

Moreover, American real estate has strict laws and regulations on inheritance, which means that real estate speculation is a relatively difficult thing.

So what if he loses money when filming a movie? Don’t you leave some money to prevent such things from happening?

So, it was not until now that he dared to think about this.

"It's right for you to look for me. I have 13 high-end properties in my hands now. I can't live in so many of them normally. I'll take you to see a house tomorrow. I'll give you a discount which one you choose." Nicholas Thieduo Real Estate - Cage said.

"So many, why are you buying so many houses?"

"Invest." Nicholas Cage looked proud, "Most of the money I have spent on filming in the past ten years has been thrown into this." After saying that, he also wanted to mention Lehman, "You said you have a lot of money. I tell you that the high-end American real estate has increased a lot in recent years. Taking advantage of the market conditions, you can quickly stock up on a few units. At that time, you can rent or sell them, and you can make a profit."

"Who came up with the idea?" Lehman looked weird.

"Is it stupid to not put money in the bank to earn interest? I have money and I have also found relevant financial managers to help me manage it. According to his idea, I bought high-quality stocks, but I think that thing is unreliable. After thinking about it, it is better to buy a house and be down-to-earth."

"Don't you think it's not worth it? You have to pay taxes every year."

"It's a bit troublesome, but I tell you that I sold a house in Marbury the next year. Compared to when I bought it, I made more than 20 million in three years. Compared with this money, that little tax is nothing. How about it, do you want to invest too?"

Nicholas Cage is still selling his business.

In his opinion, Lehman is a man who can make friends.

"Forget it, one set is enough for me to live in."

Now I finally know why Cage has become the "king of bad movies" in later generations. It is said that he failed to invest and owed a lot of money. In order to make more money, he was so good at taking any movie.

But can this not fail to invest? Hoarding houses in the United States, damn it, when that financial crisis comes, I guess I don’t die fast enough.

At that time, the real estate industry will be in a great depression. It can’t be sold even if you want to sell it. You will have to pay various taxes every year.

And he has a father, but more than a dozen fathers, can he be invincible?

"I advise you to stop buying a house. You are an actor, why not try to invest in movies?" Lehman said kindly.

"Movie?" Cage shook his head, "This is even more unreliable. Who knows which movie is made or loses? Real estate is different. Now it costs one price per year, but it is a business that is stable and profitable."

OK, that's right. He is not a future generation, so how could he know that a financial crisis would break out? If there was no such disaster, Cage would have lived a very comfortable life.

Thinking of this, Lehman stopped persuading him.

I originally thought not to take advantage of him to buy his property, but now it seems that I am helping him.
