Relying on the ratings boom caused by the second seasons of "Sex and the City" and "America's Next Top Model" in sequence, the TV station took advantage of the situation and launched several other original drama series.
Although the results cannot be compared with the two leading TV ratings, it is enough to fill up the content of other viewing periods on the TV station. It is no longer like last fall's "Project Runway" and "America's Next Top Model". The embarrassing situation was still deserted during the time period.
While the TV station began to discuss the new year's share contract with the cable TV operator more confidently, other media groups that have been paying attention to the TV station also began to study the reasons for the rise of this TV station. Yes, they intend to follow suit. Not only in the film industry now, even the ffm paid cable channel that the three fireflies are preparing for is actually planning to follow the trend of hbo.
However, although the cable TV industry is in the cusp of a major explosion, Eric is not worried about these follow-ups. After all, in this country where all walks of life are firmly controlled by capital, if the situation is still fully There are not many people who make decisive moves without hesitation in the absence of clarity, and by the time they realize it, they have already established their position in the industry.
Similarly, in this country of capital, the first few months of each year are the time for major corporate giants to "hand in their report cards" to investors, the media and even the public.
Among the top seven in Hollywood, Time Warner's annual revenue in 1995 reached 11 billion US dollars after last year's film tactics, coupled with the natural growth brought about by the strong recovery of the US economy.
However, among the 25 films released by Time Warner throughout the year, except for "Batman Forever" which invested 100 million US dollars and recovered a global box office of 330 million US dollars. Big-budget films over $50 million generally end badly.
In particular, "Waterworld of the Future" with a production cost of 175 million US dollars, the North American box office is only more than 80 million, although the global box office reached 260 million, but because of the low share and high tax situation in overseas markets, Warner Pictures finally only won the global box office. More than 90 million U.S. dollars was recovered in terms of share, and this project alone brought Time Warner a loss of more than 100 million U.S. dollars.
Although Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting Company and HBO and other cable TV businesses are profitable, they can't afford the bleak film business deficit. In the end, the entire group's annual loss reached 280 million, more than three times that of last year. The financial report came out, and there was another turmoil within Time Warner. Ted Turner, the founder of Turner Broadcasting Company and the major shareholder of Time Warner, even proposed to split Time Warner on the board of directors. Although the general trend in recent years is resource integration However, this suggestion has still been echoed by many board members.
The Viacom Group, which was firmly controlled by Summer Redstone, relied on the strong revenue performance of Blockbuster video rental and sales chain stores, and its annual revenue also exceeded 10 billion. It was followed by Time Warner and reached a scale of 107 US dollars. However, compared to Time Warner's huge losses, Paramount achieved a net profit of US$760 million for the year.
In terms of comprehensive strength, News Corporation, which has a business scope throughout the Western world, should at least be on par with Time Warner. It will even be billed separately. As a result, Twentieth Century Fox, a subsidiary in charge of the domestic film and television business in the United States, became the main representative of News Corporation. Because of this, the status of Twentieth Century Fox is very similar to that of Universal controlled by Seagram Group and Columbia controlled by Sony. Coupled with the rapid recovery of MGM's performance, the subsequent four giants have different profits and losses, but they cannot be compared with the top three giants.
In the first few months of the year, the American media has counted the respective performances of the six Hollywood giants one after another, but they still have not been able to wait for the most anticipated annual financial report of the Firefly Group.
Although the eagerly awaited media people were scratching their heads, but after several low-key board meetings and negotiations with the group's major creditors, a group of high-level officials finally decided not to release the Firefly Group's financial report.
For non-listed companies, the release of financial report data actually has a very clear purpose. For example, last year, because a huge bond of up to 8 billion US dollars was just issued, the integration of ABC Group has not been completely completed, and Ron ·Perelman’s acquisition of Firefly’s bonds and other events, in order to prevent unnecessary speculation and worries in the capital market, Firefly announced its financial data for the whole year.
This year, everything within the group has been on the right track, and there is no internal or external trouble, so there is no need to do such superfluous things to satisfy the curiosity of the capital market or the media.
Of course, Eric doesn't want to be too ostentatious is another very important reason.
After several months of financial statistics, Firefly Group's annual revenue data is finally fixed at 23.9 billion US dollars, with a net operating profit of 2.57 billion US dollars. If the follow-up payment of 1.25 billion US dollars from the sale of abc paper media assets and Disney's hand-drawn animation studio is added , Firefly's annual profit income has reached 3.82 billion US dollars, not to mention that this data is enough to say "come together" to the remaining six arrogant. If you compare it upwards, in 1995, among all giants in the United States, Ford Motor, the most profitable, had an annual revenue of 128.4 billion US dollars and a net profit of only 5.3 billion US dollars. Even if Firefly’s non-operating profit of 1.25 billion U.S. dollars is excluded, the net profit of 2.57 billion U.S. dollars is enough to squeeze into the top ten of the US corporate profit list.
