Hollywood Hunter

800 novel network, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Hunting Hollywood!

Chen Qing and Mo Yiling took advantage of their lunch to discuss some general ideas, and then the Jinshu team and district government officials had a detailed discussion for an entire afternoon.

The topic is the next two major projects that Jinshu Film and Television City will launch at the same time following the Qin Palace project, "Ming and Qing Palace" and "Jiangnan Fenghua".

The Ming and Qing Palace Gardens refer to the Hengdian project in Simon's memory. The theme is very simple, and the Forbidden City is reproduced in full scale.Even compared to the Forbidden City, which covers an area of ​​1080 acres in Beijing, the Ming and Qing palaces project is expected to reach a scale of 1,500 acres. In addition to the main palace community of about 1,000 acres, there are surrounding parking lots and other supporting facilities.

Compared with the simplified version of the Qin Palace, which is expected to cost 200 million yuan, due to the constant improvement this time and the larger number of palace communities, although the project area is only 50% larger, the investment in Ming and Qing palaces will more than triple.

Jiangnan Fenghua is based on the historical celebrities, literary stories, folklore, strange and mysterious, etc. from the Jiangnan region of China for thousands of years, designing various antique attractions, such as the'Taohuawu' which was stripped out by Simon. It should be the very famous first among them, but the planned Taohuawu will still be built near Jiangnan Fenghua.

Finally, the core planning idea agreed upon for the Jiangnan Fenghua Park is "One Dream, One Thousand Years", the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, the Two Jins, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing and so on. The materials are taken from each and finally completed. Billion.

In order to ensure that these projects can be launched quickly after completion, in addition to its own various operating methods, the Jinshu Department will personally enter the market to invest in a large number of domestic TV dramas that are in high demand at this time, of course, they must be mainly ancient costumes.In addition, as peripheral supporting facilities, in addition to the registered Jinshu Artist Intermediary Company, Jinshu Restaurant and Hotel Group, etc., Jinshu Department will set up Jinshu Performing Arts School, Jinshu Special Effects Company and other related enterprises in the future.

After finishing this matter, Chen Qing stayed in Suzhou for only one day, and then transferred to Shanghai and Hong Kong respectively. First, he followed up the recent major investment projects of the Westeros system in China, and then met with the upcoming China Telecom roadshow team. Hong Kong Confluence, and officially set off on December 2, the first stop is London, starting the China Telecom IPO roadshow with a valuation of US$20 billion in both Hong Kong and New York.

at the same time.

North America.

This year's Thanksgiving Day is November 28th.

This festival, the Westeros family spent in the northern suburbs of Greenwich, Connecticut, on the east coast. In addition to the more atmospheric holiday atmosphere on the east coast because of the four distinct seasons, there is also the Westeros Building, which is determined to be on December 5th. The capping ceremony, whether it is Simon or Janet, hopes to board the long-awaited tallest building in the world as soon as possible.

On the other hand, the most recent North American media's attention is the 1996 Thanksgiving holiday schedule.

The high-profile Thanksgiving week from November 22 to November 28, the popularity and reputation of "Wonder Woman 2" is unsurprisingly dominated, whether it is the previous "Magic Slam Dunk" etc. The old movie is still stuck in the live-action film "101 Dalmatians", an old Disney animated film that was released the day before Thanksgiving on November 27, and they all became a complete supporting role in front of "Wonder Woman 2."

In the first week of the painting, after another US$107.15 million in the box office on the first Wednesday, the box office of "Wonder Woman 2" finally reached US$153.37 million in the first week. The DC Cinema Universe has released all 10 movies. In the movie, it was second only to the $177 million in the first week of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", which created a super box office miracle last Christmas.

Faced with the impact of "Wonder Woman 2", the second-ranked "Star Trek 8", the single-week box office plummeted from last week's unsatisfactory start of $34.67 million to $15.94 million, a 54% drop. The cumulative box office in two weeks broke through the 50 million mark,

Immediately afterwards, the third-placed "Slam Dunk in the Air" dropped 41% in the second week of its release, because the box office base was not high at the beginning, and the box office next week was only 14.79 million US dollars.A total of 39.93 million U.S. dollars in box office results in two weeks made Warner Bros., who had bet on a production budget of 80 million U.S. dollars, to cry.

The fourth place is Disney's "101 Dalmatians".

As Disney’s main blockbuster scheduled for the end of this year, this classic animated adaptation of a live-action film cost 75 million US dollars, a complete blockbuster level, and it has also invited the "Home Alone", which has been significantly downhill over the years, is still very popular. "John Hughes, the creator of the series, is the screenwriter and producer.

Because of the huge cost and the family movie that is limited to the festive atmosphere, Disney struggled between the two major schedules at the end of the year, and finally chose the November 27th release date.After all, although the Christmas file is more in line with the theme, there are really many films shot in "Wonder Woman 2" that choose to avoid Thanksgiving and get together for Christmas, and the competition is not much worse than Thanksgiving.What's more, "101 Dalmatians" is also very suitable for the long-term end of the year. Once the word-of-mouth is not good enough after Christmas, it will only be out in two weeks.

Beware of repeating the same thing as Sony’s Vivendi, who is almost staring at the Disney team at all times. In case of a blow, many people may lose their jobs.

As a result, when the painting was officially opened, "101 Dalmatians" was directly reduced to a failing score of only about 4 in terms of media reputation or audience evaluation.Relying on Disney's publicity and the film's holiday theme, and two days after the opening of the painting, "101 Dalmatians" barely made a box office of 10.17 million US dollars, far below the Disney team's expectations of 15 million to 20 million US dollars in two days of painting.

Moreover, the follow-up of the film is even more unpredictable.

Again, if there is no strong film competition, "101 Dalmatians" can still get a good long-term box office by virtue of the holiday theme. Now, there is "Wonder Woman 2" before "Game of the Brave" and " "Girls of the Thunderbolt", the quality of the film is not good. In this highly competitive environment, I want to go out of the long-term, wishful thinking.

The fifth place is still "Annabel".

This horror film, which seems to be incompatible with the holiday atmosphere, has seen a large drop in the box office for two consecutive weeks. Following the 43% drop last week, this week’s "Wonder Woman 2" is under strong pressure and the drop has reached 39%.However, compared to other movies, this horror movie of the horror movie universe quietly won the box office of 9.45 million US dollars.

Within five weeks of its release, the film's cumulative box office reached 134.21 million U.S. dollars. It is only a matter of time before the film becomes the first local film to break through the 150 million U.S. dollar goal in the psychic film universe.

In the new week of November 29th, except for "101 Dalmatians" which was opened two days in advance, no major studios released any new films. Therefore, it became the box office of many films on Thanksgiving Day. Last chance.

Of course, there is only one "Wonder Woman 2" trying to advance. How high the film's local box office can eventually go, the trend of the next week is crucial.

For "Slam Dunk in the Air" and "Star Trek 8", the defeat has been set, so only "101 Dalmatians" is looking forward to the reversal, even if not to mention the outbreak, this week spanning the end of the two months, Dalmatians As long as the weekly box office can surpass 30 million, which is no longer expected, the follow-up curve will be much better.

It's a pity that some people's expectations fell to nothing after the three days of the weekend from November 29 to December 1.

The first is "Wonder Woman 2", the next three days, the year-on-year decline was only 35%, and then collected 69.65 million US dollars, 10 days of release, the cumulative box office has quickly exceeded 200 million, reaching 223.02 million US dollars.

This achievement also means that "Wonder Woman 2" surpassed the first part's 371 million US dollars, and even surpassed the local 416 million US dollars of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rise" before the Super Wars, there will be no much suspense.

The question now is whether it can break through the local 500 million US dollars.

If the next Christmas schedule does not have "Game of the Brave" and "Charlie Girl", starting with "Wonder Woman 2", the chance of breaking through the $500 million threshold is very high. Now, there is only suspense.

Then it was "101 Dalmatians".

As the first weekend after the release, the film was under the pressure of "Wonder Woman 2" and the word-of-mouth failure. In the three days from November 29 to December 1, the final revenue was only 18.67 million US dollars.

Even according to the ideal four-day box office on weekends and weekdays, the box office of "101 Dalmatians" is only about 26 million US dollars, which obviously does not reach the 30 million threshold expected by Disney. .What's more, the data after the weekend proves that Dalmatians' workday box office curve is even worse.

Manhattan, New York.

Westero Building between 59th Street and 60th Street on the east side of Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side.

The time is Thursday, December 5th.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the tallest 135th floor of the building, along with Simon and Janet, unveiled the symbolic curtain covering the surrounding glass windows. Since the start of demolition in early 1992, it took five years to build, and the bare height reached 622 meters. The Westeros Building, ranked No. 1 in the world, was officially topped.

Even if the subsequent installation of various infrastructures is not included, but the roof is just capped, the cost of this building, constructed with all the highest-end materials and technologies at this stage, has already exceeded the initial budget of 1 billion US dollars.

The investment figure so far is 1.7 billion U.S. dollars. It is expected that all the infrastructures will be installed and laid. The total cost will reach 2.5 billion U.S. dollars. It is definitely the most expensive skyscraper at this stage. If inflation is considered, even two Thirty years later, this is absolutely the case. After all, the Burj Khalifa was completed in 2010 at a cost of only 1.5 billion US dollars. In 2013, the new World Trade Tower in New York, which was rumored to be built with the highest safety standards, cost only 3.2 billion US dollars.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for Simon to talk about rewards for this skyscraper.

In fact, Simon's net worth at this time has never thought about this.

This also allows the entire building to not only be constructed to the highest standards, but will also be operated with the highest standards in the future.

One of the most important is of course safety standards.

In addition to the building standards that can easily withstand the largest earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters recorded in the history of the New York area, the security standards of the entire building will also be designed in accordance with the standards of the private residence of the Westeros family for a long time, such as In 1993, the underground parking plant of the Petronas Twin Towers was stuffed with half a ton of explosives. There will never be a chance to happen in the Westeros Building.

Since the investment criteria in the building are quite demanding, Simon also plans to set a relatively low rent. The goal is that the income of the building can mainly meet the annual maintenance and tax costs. Therefore, this is the world's highest and most advanced skyscraper. In the future, the rent will be lower than many old buildings in New York.

Of course, the premise is that you can pass the audit and be eligible to enter.

These are things to follow.

After the unveiling, Simon gave a simple speech, and soon announced the beginning of the party.

Outside the window, the clear blue sky in New York on a clear winter day was set against, even though the surrounding steel beams were still exposed and the champagne opened, the atmosphere quickly became warm.

Simon picked up a glass of champagne, first came to the Rebolds and his wife who were attending the capping ceremony together, and explained softly.

It is mainly because the Jennifers were on the east coast but did not attend the capping ceremony.

Although the female assistant must have talked with her parents, as a courtesy, Simon explained it again, mainly because the Westeros family unknowingly formed some safety rules, unless necessary, do not take the same plane on the same plane. For yachts and the like, although Janet is always reluctant to comply with this, the female assistant and the children never make an exception.

Since the roofing ceremony of the building was not completely completed, everyone came to the roof by elevator. No matter how cautious it is, it is difficult to say that it is absolutely safe.

So neither Jennifer nor the children showed up.

The James and his wife certainly understand this, and even agree with it more than Simon.After all, Simon doing this is equivalent to fully approving the identity of the female assistant's family.Otherwise, if you are just a lover around you, how can you think about so much.

So, with a few simple sentences, James took the initiative to turn the topic away: "I saw an article in the most recent issue of Barron’s. Speaking of Hollywood, "Wonder Woman 2" is another global one billion For high-level movies, the situation in other Hollywood studios is generally unsatisfactory. Simon, are you sure this will not cause a backlash?"

"Rebound is inevitable. At the "Annabel" celebration party in Los Angeles last time, Bob White came to him, hoping that I would let go of the constraints on the development of DC superhero movies, although Jack called and explained this to me. It's something, but you can still see the attitude there, while the others are basically the same."

James asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

"Daenerys Entertainment does what it does, and then waits for other studios to make a move. Oh, in fact, it has always been done. Daenerys Entertainment, and even the entire Westeros system, will not External causes stop, we just need to leave our opponents far away, it will be difficult for them to cause us trouble." Simon said this, thought for a while, and said: "In fact, it is the eye-catching effect of "Wonder Woman 2". It’s too obvious. It gives people the illusion that Daenerys Entertainment has been making $1 billion box office movies. In fact, well, although Hollywood’s $1 billion box office movies have been in line with the Westeros system in recent years It's related, but it's definitely not much. Except for the two accidental ones last year, the others are only one a year at most. No amount of markets can hold it.

After listening, James said: "This should be a public opinion point that can work."

Simon was taken aback, then nodded: "I will arrange it after the party."

It's not that James reminded, but he didn't expect it.

Regarding the fact that Hollywood can only carry at most one or two global US$1 billion films a year, it can indeed be hyped in the media to give the public a kind of Daenerys entertainment that is not so subconscious, even if it is obvious. Ah Q’s illusion can at least make some of the media less jealous, so as not to add to the flames.

Simon also thought of a further extension.

For example, Daenerys Entertainment's interest in the DC movie universe is not as high as Warner's. Therefore, the more successful the series, as the leader of this movie universe, Daenerys Entertainment will suffer.

It's good to suffer.

Disadvantage is a blessing.

In doing so, some people will be psychologically balanced, and some media will be less fueled. Then Daenerys Entertainment can also boil the frog in warm water more safely.

As for the actual situation.

Next, the flames under the warm water will only get stronger and stronger.
