Hollywood Hunter

Waking up in the morning by the phone ringtone, Simon opened his eyes and found that Catherine was looking at herself, with a little confusion and шщЩ in the eyes after being suddenly awakened..1a

Simon took the woman in her arms and kissed her lips before reaching for the microphone on the bedside table.

The call is from Pat Kingsley, because of the recording of "Johnny Carson Tonight Show", Pat Kingsley, who is Simon's PR manager, has also been in New York in recent days.The content of Kingsley's call is about a gossip published in the "News Daily" newspaper on the New York side.

"Golden Palm Jury Checks into Westeros Cannes Mansion".

The matter that Natasha Kinsky borrowed from Simon was still taken out. "Daily News" rendered this matter as a lace news in the article, but it is not difficult to find out that the other party The fundamental purpose is to question Simon's fairness in obtaining Palme d'Or.

Simon was not surprised to hear the news.

The summer competition has entered the most intense stage, with more than ten blockbuster new films being released in recent weeks.Because of the trade-off characteristics of the box office market, at this time, by suppressing the momentum of the opponents, you can get more market space.

The two posted together, and Catherine could naturally hear the conversation between Simon and Kingsley.When Simon hung up the phone, the emotion in Catherine's eyes had changed, but he still looked at him fixedly.Obviously, the focus of women's attention is not on the deep meaning of the report "Daily News".

Simon was watched by Catherine and had to take the initiative to explain: "I have nothing to do with that woman, and she is already married."

Catherine yelled away from Simon's arms and said lightly: "This is Jenny's business, it has nothing to do with me."

Simon smiled and tried to get past, but was pushed away by Catherine and asked, "What do you want to have for breakfast?"

Catherine did not answer this question, but said: "You are responsible for fixing up my shirt."

"There doesn't seem to be any needlework at home, you should wear my clothes," Simon sat up and planned to get up. He found his shirt and gestured towards the woman. "You must look better in a men's shirt."

Catherine reached out and pushed him a little, dissatisfied: "It will be seen."

As for the relationship between the two, Simon knew that Catherine was more careful than herself, and nodded: "Well, I will wait for Neil to send some needles over."

After the two had breakfast, Catherine remained in the apartment and planned to leave quietly. Simon hurried to Westeros headquarters to discuss with James Rebold the debt-for-equity swap to win New World Entertainment.

On the other side, the report in "Daily News" was just the beginning, and similar news came later on the West Coast.The public relations team of Daenerys Pictures and Orion immediately began to guide the public opinion.

In this open battle, the next day, "Pulp Fiction" was officially released on the North American theater. At the same time, the painting also featured "Flying Over the Future" starring Tom Hanks produced by Fox Pictures and Chevy Chess of Warner Bros. Starring "Funny Farm".

In addition, North American box office data in the past week has also been released.

With 287 open screens, "Crocodile Dundee 2" won the $1.77 million box office in the first full week and seven days, easily winning the single-week box office championship.Counting the cumulative two days of the previous week, the total box office of this movie has reached 4.92 million US dollars.

However, the word of mouth of "Crocodile Dundee 2" is in stark contrast to its massive pre-promotion and large-scale opening screen. The North American media has almost one-sided bad reviews of the film.

"Variety" magazine rated "Crocodile Dundee 2" as an adventure film plot is too bland, as a comedy film without much laughter.

"New York Times" film critics' views are even more intense: "The default strategy of most sequels is to extract the advantages of the previous work as much as possible to give the audience more of their favorite elements, but "Crocodile Dundee 2" is like an idiot. OK,

Although the media reputation of "The First Blood" starring Stallone is better than "Crocodile Dundee 2", it is only relatively speaking.

Moreover, with the same large-scale 2,562 screens, the first sequel with a huge production cost of US$6 million was the box office revenue two days before the opening of the film, which was equivalent to "Crocodile Dundee 2", but the first In a complete week, the box office was quickly thrown away by the other party, and the box office accounted for US$ 20.70 million in seven days, with a cumulative US$ 2.46 million.

The third place in the list, "Fengyun Jihui", the box office at the next week fell only 16%, and then received 9.26 million US dollars.However, due to the weak start, the cumulative box office of "Fengyun Jihui" in two weeks was only 2.02 million US dollars.

"When Harry Meets Sally" is still ranked fourth, and in the twelfth week of the release, it continues to accumulate US$20,000, with a cumulative box office of 97.55 million, only one step away from breaking 100 million.

Compared with several new films such as "The Crocodile Dundee 2", the three movies released on June 6 have a very good reputation.

Tom Hanks' "Flying Over the Future" can be said to be the famous work of the Hollywood superstar, and he also brought him the first Oscar nomination for best actor.Chevy Chase, the veteran comedy star of "Funny Farm", also received a lot of praise.

However, these two new films are completely unsuccessful in the face of "Pulp Fiction" destined to be included in the film history.

The halo of the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival.

Robert De Niro, John Travolta, Robert Redford, Madonna, Sean Pan and other big coffee joined the popularity.

Simon has accumulated a huge base of fans since "Rola Run".

Super hot topic brought by praise and controversy.

All these factors make "Pulp Fiction" one of the most watched movies this summer.

Obviously in order to curb the momentum of "Pulp Fiction", as the film was released, some media simply spurred the controversy over Simon's Golden Palm and unabashedly questioned the possibility of the awards inside the Cannes Film Festival just passed.

Faced with these doubts, Cannes officials had to respond publicly again.

The media will naturally not give up easily. Natasha Kinsky’s borrowing of Simon’s mansion was quickly fired into one of the most important insider evidences. Many newspapers chased this point and began to pursue it.

Because this matter was linked to Lace News, Natasha Kinsky’s husband of a wealthy Egyptian businessman also came in and hurried to Cannes Le Cannet to take his wife home, the eccentric and persistent Natasha. Jinski obviously could not easily succumb.

The two were originally in a state of separation. After being rejected, the wealthy Egyptian merchants felt greatly embarrassed and publicly announced that they would divorce Natasha Kinsky.

In this way, things suddenly become more lively.

Simon Westero not only lured the judges to manipulate the awards, but also destroyed other people's families.

just.

The media chasing this matter is too late to concocate more "relenting material", and suddenly a 180-degree reversal occurs.

On June 7, Natasha Kinsky, who was surrounded by countless tabloid reporters from all over the world to the annoyance, suddenly declared to the following reporters during a shopping trip that he was Without supporting "Pulp Fiction", she voted for "The Segregated World".

As soon as the woman's remarks came out, all the media chasing this matter suddenly became'TF'.

Is this still possible?!

The Cannes Film Festival’s selection is not as rigorous as the Oscar voting process. Sometimes, if the judges can agree verbally, they can determine the attribution of the award without voting at all.However, in the past session, the voting process was initiated because of differences in opinion of the judges.

Natasha Kinsky publicly stated that the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival, which had been somewhat burned out by the media bombing, immediately found the voting card from the just-sealed film festival file.Because it was a voting card with a name written directly, Natasha Kinsky’s handwriting was also very recognizable, and this woman really voted for the World of Segregation.

To confirm this, the Cannes Film Festival organizers, relieved, immediately published a photocopy of Natasha Kinsky’s voting card in the newspaper.

The famous Italian director Ito Scola, who served as the judge of the previous main competition unit, also later publicly stated that Natasha Kinsky did indeed lean towards "Isolated World" during the judging and discussion process. In the competition of Golden Palm, "Vulgar" "Fiction" and "Isolated World" won 6 to 4 votes.

It was announced that even Simon who had just returned to Los Angeles himself was'TF'.

Sister, I borrowed your residence and helped you hire a housekeeper, cook, servant, driver, and a lot of bills. Do you really want to do this?

Knowing this, Janet laughed so much that she couldn't keep her waist down. By the way, she despised Simon's "big head".

Although the truth makes people cry and laugh, some insider doubts about the hard hit of some media disappeared instantly.

With such a tear, the attention of "Pulp Fiction" is even higher.Moreover, the one-sided praise of "Pulp Fiction" by most media in North America and the word of mouth of the audience itself about the quality of the film also made things very thorough.

In the hustle and bustle, on June 10, another week of the summer period passed.

From June 1st to June 9th, the release of new and old films increased this week's total box office in North America to $92.67 million.By comparison, in the previous week from May 27 to June 2, the total weekly box office in North America was only $7.87 million.

The high-profile "Pulp Fiction" won the championship position of the North American box office chart in the new week without suspense.The screen size of the 1569 block of screen paintings was $2.75 million at the box office in the first week.

Although it failed to reach the level of "crocodile Dundee 2" last week, $1.71 million, but no one would doubt the strength of "Pulp Fiction".

After all, "Crocodile Dundee 2" has 287 open screens, while "Pulp Fiction" has only 1569 open screens.The average for the single library is "Crocodile Dundee 2" last week reached $1,066, while "Pulp Fiction" was as high as $17,546.

What's more, "Crocodile Dundee 2" only had a competitor to "The First Blood" last week, perhaps barely adding a "offensive meeting" with a box office slump.But this week, "Pulp Fiction" was in a melee battle with four other films, "Flying Over the Future", "Funny Farm", "Crocodile Dundee 2" and "First Blood".

After "Pulp Fiction", due to poor word-of-mouth and large-scale over-exploitation of the market potential, "Crocodile Dundee 2" fell 41% compared to last week's box office, with a box office of only $17.87 million.

But even so, the opening scale of more than 2,800 screens made this film's North American box office easily break the $50 million mark.

The third place on the list is Fox Pictures' "Flying Over the Future", with a box office of $12.59 million in the first week.Because Fox Pictures only arranged 112 screens for this new film, this single-week pavilion's box office transcripts exceeded $10,000.

In Simon's memory, "Flying Over the Future" has achieved 100 million in North America. If the history has not changed, "Flying Over the Future" will have a very good box office curve.

Stallone's "First Blood" ranked fourth, the box office decline is even more miserable than "Crocodile Dundee 2", reaching 47%, this week only received 10.62 million US dollars, cumulative box office 5.26 million US dollars.According to this decline curve, the total box office of "The First Blood" in North America is likely to not even reach the production cost of $6 million.

Chevy Chase's "Funny Farm" ranked fifth, with a box office of $8.11 million in the first week.

"Funny Farm" has 1,557 open screens equivalent to "Pulp Fiction", but in the first week it was only $5,000, which is less than one-third of "Pulp Fiction".The first movie of Warner Bros. Pictures’ summer film was undoubtedly a dumb bullet.

With a start of US$8.11 million, even if the following decline curve is more attractive, it is difficult for North America's total box office to be very high.

Outside the top five, the sixth place of "Fengyun Jihui" was released in the third week and continued to receive US$ 7.08 million, with a cumulative box office of US$ 27.4 million.

Immediately.

The seventh place in the list, "When Harry Meets Sally", received another 2.66 million US dollars at the box office. This one-week film finally broke through the $100 million box office mark in the expectations of many people, and the total box office reached 1 With a total value of US$102.1 million, it officially became the first film in North America that broke the 100 million box office in 1988.

In the discussion of "When Harry Meets Sally", the North American box office broke 100 million. Some media released it suddenly, and Daenerys Film successfully completed a box office relay.

"Pulp Fiction" only earned $2.75 million at the box office in the first week of painting. The film's word-of-mouth, cast and popularity are impeccable, and no one doubts that it can easily break the threshold of North America's box office to break the million.

You know, at the time when "When Harry Meets Sally" was first screened, the box office of the large-scale painting in the first week was only 17.81 million US dollars, and the first week of "Pulp Fiction" almost exceeded the full score of "When Harry Meets Sally". 10 million US dollars.

The two films at the North American box office exceeded 100 million, which has been the same as Simon Westero's results last year.

Previously, in 1987, the "Laura Run" and "Butterfly Effect" related to Simon had good results at the box office in North America. The "Death is Coming" box office is slightly inferior, only more than 70 million US dollars.

only.

Now that half of 1988 has not passed, Simon Westero has tied his box office initiative last year, so what next?

"Pulp Fiction" relaying "When Harry Meets Sally" continues to sprint North American box office to break the 100 million box office. In the middle of next month, will Instinct, also written by Simon himself, be the same?

After "Instinct", Daenerys Pictures released a series of productions such as "Scream", "Rainman", "Death Poetry Society", "Steel Magnolia" and so on.

Although many people don't think these films have many appearances, however, Simon Westero has created too many miracles.

Imagine boldly, if these videos continue to relay...
