Bottom Line

“Yes, Robert, that’s why I invite you here today, isn’t it?”, since Robert began first, Eric also caave a hollow laugh, trying to hide his eive up in this invisible confrontation, but now, hearing what Eric had said, he regained a sense of frustration

After a sip of bitter coffee, Robert calmed down and said, ”Well, Eric, I'm really interested in our cooperation, so let’s hear your conditions first, shall we?”

“You know, Robert, I only value the distribution channels of New Line, so I' to buy out it with the initial price of 500 otiable of courseBut theis, after the acquisition, I can make you the CEO of the brand-new FireflyCome on, Robert, you are only 50 now, you want to retire? Course not”

“For 20 years’ boss, Eric, and now you want me to be your eh”, Robert Shea raised his outstretched hands and continued, “Sure, we can cooperate, only in the way like MGM-United ArtistsNew Line will have its channels and Firefly, excellent filul called Firefly-New Line can rise in Hollywood in the next few years, what do you say?”

“Then, after the estionindeed, but Firefly alone was enough, any tail behind it was redundantThe brand, New Line would certainly be retained, but only as a subsidiary of Firefly

Hearing this question, Robert Shea shed a glihtActually, he had begun to think about this question even before Eric’s invitationFirefly was only more than half year old, with barely any distribution capabilityThe total value of its filible and worthlessHowever, the truth was, the profitability of Firefly was overwhel Home Alone, which literally was not a work of Firefly, even Pretty Woht over 100out of Time achieved a box office of 200 ain at least another 80 million box office cutMoreover, Robert Shea had learnt that Eric would cooperate with Fox on another two fil which, Ho much profitIn addition, Tom Hunks had joined Sleepless in Seattle, which was directed by Eric himself, so no ould Firefly lose any money on itAs for the other 3 films, they were said to be low-cost investments of less than 10 million eachWith Eric’s fame, they would certainly ested that this year, Firefly's box-office profits alone would be equivalent to those of two fil 400 million or so

The value of a company was about ten tiiants in Hollywood for exaood times for each of them was around 200 million, and thus the value translated into 2 billionYes, Colu now, but it was just a result of hypeBefore Sony's acquisition got leaked, Columbia’s value was also 2 billionHowever, for New Line, only one of the six htmare on Elm Street 4, made a profit of more than 10 million dollars, while others co video tapes and other film-related products into account, last year, the profit of New Line was only 30 million, which meant its value was no more than 300 million
