In the week before Easter, the disastrous stock market crash eventually led to a 24% decline in the NASDAQ in five days. The NASDAQ index plummeted from its peak of 7045 on March 24 to 5346 on Friday, March 28. As a result, the total market value of NASDAQ plummeted from the highest of US $9.3 trillion to US $7.1 trillion, equivalent to US $2.2 trillion of the GDP of the UK and China in 1996, and evaporated in just five days.

The capital market is in mourning.

The liquidation of the Tiger Fund in February injected another dose of adrenaline into all the long capitals who were still optimistic about the Internet industry at that time. As a result, it triggered hundreds of billions of US dollars of all kinds of buying and building positions for technology stocks in just one month, including the use of a lot of financial leverage.

The tragedy is inevitable when the highest position takes over.

For five days in a row, there were no less than 20 suicides by investors all over the world caused by the collapse of the Nasdaq stock index. More millionaires and multimillionaires came back to the pre liberation era overnight, just like the Tiger Fund, which collapsed a month ago.

In this stock market disaster, the most serious loss is undoubtedly a young tycoon with a peak wealth of $2.3 trillion.

Compared with the overall decline of 23% in a week, Simon's personal wealth has fallen by 31% due to his holding of a series of new technology leaders. By the end of Friday, he had only $1.6 trillion left, with a loss of $700 billion in just five days, which is equivalent to one person resisting the loss of nearly one third of the market value of the NASDAQ.

It's quite tragic.

Of course, this is only the book on the tragic.

Even when many onlookers who are inexplicably schadenfreuded celebrate the collapse of the oligarchy one after another, people with a little sense can still see that even if their personal wealth has evaporated by $700 billion, the personal assets of $1.6 trillion will be 100 billion more than the $1.5 trillion listed in the Forbes 400 list last year.

Even if Simon westero's personal wealth drops to less than $1 trillion, what can he do?

The other side is still the world's super rich whose net assets far exceed the second place on the list, and ordinary people can't be flattered even if they struggle for ten lives.

Unlike most of the investors who are in the game watching their new technology stocks devalue day by day, Simon is indeed the most calm one in the storm.

While continuing to play the role of father to be between a group of pregnant women, the westero system has started to set up a financial audit team headed by Veronica Johnston these days. It plans to conduct a comprehensive investigation and carding of Companies in the westero system, such as igrit, Cisco and us online, from April.

Simon is confident that the companies in the westrow system that he has been focusing on will not have serious financial loopholes like Enron and WorldCom, but he is also very clear that there must be many small-scale problems and mistakes.

In fact, this is equivalent to a house repair before winter.

We should take precautions.

and then, officially enter the Internet cold winter, Simon will also start massive layoffs, and completely purge the impetuous emotions that inevitably bring about by the surging new technology bubble in recent years, and achieve a Nirvana after the cold winter.

At the same time? Into the Easter weekend? A series of new products of tincobail are officially on sale in major global markets.

In the previous week's pre-sale, a series of main products such as iPlayer, ICAM, IREC and IMAC were launched online, and the total pre-sale amount of each platform inside and outside North America has exceeded 12 million, which has become a very bright positive under the background of the collapse of the NASDAQ.

Throughout the weekend? A large number of media are tacitly promoting tincobail's hot pre-sale data? And it is predicted that in 1997, excluding the four main electronic products around, tincobail's cumulative sales will exceed 150 million units, directly catching up with the total global PC shipments? Another miracle.

In fact? Even without this momentum? Tincobail's share price decline in the past week is the lowest of all new technology companies? The cumulative decline in five days is only 8.3%.

On the other hand, for most ordinary people, the stock market disaster is a little far away from them.

This time is closely related to life or Easter.

Similarly, Hollywood is most concerned about the Easter season.

Before and after the 69th Academy Awards ceremony on March 24, the box office of films such as "the British patient", which won the grand prize, and "the catcher of the soul", which gained new exposure, rebounded. However, these films, which are basically in the closing stage, have been separated from the competition of Easter schedule.

Among them, the box office of the British patient has exceeded 70 million US dollars? With the best picture Oscar just won, it is expected that it will gain about 10 million US dollars in the future? The total box office of the British patient is about 80 million US dollars.

At the same time, "the British patient" officially opened its overseas distribution after the Oscar, which is the main agent of danielis entertainment.This is actually the big head.

Depending on the best picture aura of the Oscar, the overseas box office of the former British patient was more than 150 million US dollars, almost twice that of the local one. This time, it won't be too bad.

Another film, the catcher of the soul, has recently taken nearly $160 million at the local box office. Only the Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars has made it out of the cinema soon. It is estimated that the total domestic box office will be around $165 million.

As for the films such as wonder woman 2, the game of the brave and baby thunderbolt, which were scheduled at the end of last year, in order to free up screen resources for the new films, they have been released one after another.

During the Easter season on March 21, a total of three new films were released in North American Theaters, namely, the Kim Carey comedy "cable repairman" produced by daenerys entertainment, the "alien 2" released by MGM and the derivative film "King Kong warrior" by fox.

One of the most concerned "cable repairman" and "alien 2" are obviously not very good start.

After all, it cost US $35 million in budget and US $15 million in publicity, and even if there are disputes in private, there is still work to be done. Danielis entertainment publicity team created a gimmick for the transformation of Kim Carey for cable TV repairman. However, the film's media score, after all, is only 6.2 points, which can pass the test. Obviously, there is also a public relations element in it.

"Alien 2", which fans have been looking forward to for a long time, has a similar experience.

Although the budget has risen to $40 million, the production team has been more attentive, and Simon has personally advised, compared with the comprehensive score of 4.3 in the first part, the media comprehensive score of this sequel has only slightly increased to 5.5, which is still a failure.

Hollywood Reporter's comments directly point out the key to the sequel's failure to be recognized by the critics: assembly line popcorn without any connotation, and excessive meat selling.

The reality is that the audience can't stop watching!

Two beauties tearing each other naked on the big screen, who can stand it?

So, in the first week of Easter from March 21 to March 27, there were rumors that MGM was able to reduce its rating from NC-17 to R due to too many scenes being exposed. In the first seven days of the first week, alien 2 won $33.14 million at the box office.

As the first film of Simon's multi-party packaging project plan, "alien 2" is a good start.

The production budget of the film is US $40 million, the publicity expenditure is US $15 million, and the total expenditure is US $55 million. It starts with us $33.14 million in North America. Although it is hard to recover the cost in China, the global distribution is hopeful to recover the full budget.

And the big part of this project is actually video.

Not to mention Simon's memory of the "alien" series of video market is hot, this time three years ago the "alien" debut has also proved this point.

The domestic box office of the first "alien" is more than 60 million, with a total of 110 million US dollars in the world, which has made a profit. However, up to now, the follow-up video sales have already sold 4.6 million boxes, nearly 140 million US dollars, which is higher than the global box office.

In addition, the film's television broadcast income is also rich.

Simon was worried that the sequel of the project would be given the same cold reception in the cinema as in "alien 2", so it was delayed. Now, the newly conceived "alien 2" has received $33.14 million in the first week, which means that "alien 3" can be directly approved.

Because the combination of the two films has been regarded as a mini heterogeneous film universe.

In recent years, Hollywood's concept of the movie universe may be a bit rampant, but for "the alien", it is the most appropriate description.

Let's talk about the box office list.

Cable repairman came second in the weekly box office list with $27.07 million, following "alien 2.".

Despite the same mediocre reputation, the box office appeal of Kim Carrey's previous three consecutive box office movies is still there. Even if many fans say they don't like Kim Carrey's transformation after watching the movie, the box office is still considerable, only the local box office, but also depends on the follow-up trend.

Third on the list is BJ's single diary.

In the sixth week of its release, this love movie, which caused strong repercussions in both Britain and the United States, was hit by two new movies, with a drop of 32%. The box office of this movie fell within the range of 10 million US dollars in a single week, with a revenue of 8.37 million US dollars, but the cumulative box office has reached 122.53 million US dollars, temporarily ranking the top in 1997.

The fourth place was Star Wars 3: return of the Jedi, which premiered last week. After earning $16.29 million in the first week, the film was also hit by two new films the next week, with a box office drop of 54% and a further $7.51 million.

Unlike the box office sales of the premiere of Star Wars two months ago, Star Wars 3 grossed $23.8 million in two weeks. It is estimated that the total domestic box office is only over 30 million. Obviously, the more the feelings sell, the less.The fifth place is not Fox's new movie "King Kong warrior", but Disney's urban comedy "savage city", starring Hollywood comedian Tim Allen. The creative idea is similar to the big selling "Crocodile Dundee" in the 1980s, which tells the story of "primitive man" breaking into modern city.

The film opened on March 7, and in the third week of its release, it earned US $6.01 million and grossed US $28.17 million. Although the production budget has reached US $30 million, it is estimated that the domestic box office of US $40 million will be quite good in such an unpopular period.

As for Fox's "King Kong warrior", it was ranked eighth in the list after several other old films.

This child oriented science fiction movie, similar to the later "dinosaur team", costs 45 million US dollars. It is also ambitious, but it can't splash any waves. In the first seven days of the week, the income is only 3.01 million US dollars, which is totally at the dismal level that Murdoch has to cover his heart.

After that, the more competitive Easter week.
