Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 243 Documentary

After a false alarm, Daenerys Entertainment's operations quickly resumed as usual.

However, after this incident, the heads of the Westeros system, such as Amy, also realized how fragile the business empire created by Simon was in certain respects.

When a variety of rumors suddenly came from Melbourne, Amy even heard that the Los Angeles County Government once planned to set up a special working group to prepare to take over Daenerys Entertainment.Because in law, Simon is actually alone, he does not have any legal heir.

Janet is undoubtedly the closest person around Simon, but legally, the two have nothing to do with each other.

Moreover, during the whole process, no one thought that a young man such as Simon would think of making a will or something.

While rushing to Melbourne, confirming that his boss was safe, Amy and James together suggested that Simon re-establish the will and in some cases the asset agent.They had learned that Simon had left a will document with George Norman, but it involved billions of dollars in assets, which could not be more cautious.

Howard Hughes's massive estate lawsuit, which died in 1976, continues until more than a decade later.

A lot of information confirmed that Hughes had left a will, but because of the lack of a clear legal heir, under the trend of huge profits, all true and false wills documents were invalidated, Hughes's huge legacy has become a lot of people. A gluttonous feast rushing to snatch.

Simon naturally did not want to end Hughes, so he followed Amy's suggestion and re-drafted the relevant will and agency documents under multiple guarantees.

In March, after "Rainman", Daenerys Entertainment's two other films, "Steel Magnolia Flower" and "Death Poetry Club", which were scheduled at the end of last year, also achieved a North American box office sales of more than 100 million.

As a result, a total of 11 North American box office billion dollar club films appeared in 1988, of which 7 were produced by Daenerys Entertainment, and the other 4 were Disney's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and Paramount. "A Journey to America", Fox's "Flying Over the Future" and Paramount's "Crocodile Dundee 2".

At the end of 1988, the two films "Baldhead Detective" and "Dragon Brother Mouse", which were also sold at the box office at the end of the year, could not reach the threshold of 100 million yuan under the impact of Daenerys Entertainment's multiple blockbuster films.

The two films are still being released, but according to the current box office data, the North American box office of "Bald Detective" is only about 73 million US dollars, and the local box office of "Brother Dragon" is only about 95 million US dollars.

Of the 7 films that made Daenerys entertain the 100 million box office in North America, 6 have entered the top ten of the 1988 box office list, and only the last "Death Poetry Club" is still catching up with his former "Crocodile Deng". Dee 2".

However, although "Death Poetry Club" can not be regarded as a popular award season like "Rainman", the recent topic is also not low. It is not difficult to catch up with the already released "Crocodile Dundee 2" released last summer.

On the other hand, both "Bodyguard" and "Sixth Sense of Soul" have been successfully completed in the near future, and the progress of the shooting of "Uncle Buck" by John Hughes has also passed half.Daenerys Entertainment also officially announced the schedule of the three films, which are June 2, June 30 and August 11.

In addition, on February 24, following the "Blue Sky Ambassador", Damen Lisi Entertainment's Gaomen Pictures released its first movie "Metropolis", which was directed by Whit Stillman. The kid's literary film did not win an award at the Sundance Film Festival in January, but it has a good reputation.

The production cost of "Metropolis" is $3 million, which is far more than the hundreds of thousands of dollars that Whit Steelman planned to call his family and friends to help film.

Because of the introduction of some well-known actors, and the film's word of mouth, "Metropolitan" opened the screen with 127 blocks, and the first week of the box office reached 1.39 million US dollars. The single-box box office achieved a hot sale level of 10,000.

Elado Ichman invested a $2 million budget for the film.

In the first week, an amount of 1.39 million US dollars was received. After appropriately increasing the scale of the screening, relying on the long-term screening, it is expected that the total box office in North America will reach about 8-10 million U.S. dollars, which is enough for Daenerys Entertainment to recover costs only at the North American box office.

Although Metropolitan's estimated total box office in North America may not be as good as the first week of some big-selling movies under Daenerys Entertainment, the positioning of Gaomen Pictures is such.Simon is very satisfied with the operation of Elado Ichman.

This year's Easter is March 26, which is earlier than in previous years.

After "Metropolis", another film "Sisters" from Gaomen Pictures will be released on March 17th, and the release date of New World Pictures' "Ghost Hunting 2" will also be March 24th of the Easter period. .

Overseas.

Because of the establishment of overseas distribution channels from scratch, Robert Rem's work progress is relatively slow.However, relying on the copyright of the four best-selling movies such as "Scream", "Steel Magnolia", "Death Poetry Society" and "Rain Man", everything went smoothly.

It is expected that in the first half of this year, Daenerys Entertainment will be able to achieve the release of the company's four hot-selling movies in the major overseas ticket warehouse countries at the end of last year.Moreover, as long as the channel expansion is completed, the overseas distribution of Daenerys Entertainment's movies will be much faster.

Finally, let's count a large number of films that are in various stages of preparation, such as "Wind Moon Beauty", "The Ghost Story", "Ninja Turtles", "Driving for Miss Daisy" and so on, Daenerys Entertainment It can be said that the film business has truly entered a sustainable and benign state of development.

Los Angeles.

Sofia Fessi arrived here yesterday after leaving Melbourne.

Because Fashion Week in the second half of the year is crucial to Gucci's recovery, although she received funding and commitment from Simon, she flew to Los Angeles personally, intending to communicate with Amy in person.

Moreover, Gucci also has a specialty store on Beverly Avenue. Sofia also plans to conduct some financial audits and personnel adjustments to the specialty store here. These jobs also need assistance from Daenerys Entertainment. She can’t find it in a short time. For the right accountant team, the same is true of stores in New York.

After signing the equity transfer agreement, Sofia appointed himself as the president of Gucci, because Melisandre has already acquired absolute control, Gucci no longer sets up a board of directors, and some core members of the original Gucci family have only obtained some titles such as consultants.

Today is Saturday.

Sophia spent two days in a specialty store on Beverly Avenue, and rushed to Malibu early in the evening.

Here is a PR party organized by Daenerys Entertainment.

Because of the ongoing PR offensive for Daenerys Entertainment for the Oscars at the end of the month, Palisades’s mansion has become the target of many gossip tabloids, and the company can only change locations to hold various parties.

Today’s party is a mansion that Amy just bought in Malibu, located in Paradise Bay, not far from Dumei Point.

After the 87 stock market crash, housing prices across North America continued to fall, and Malibu was not able to escape. In the early 1980s, the real estate development in Malibu was almost stagnant in the past two years, and housing prices were at their lowest in these years.

However, Amy is keenly aware that with the construction of Daenerys Entertainment Studios and Dumei Point Estate, Malibu will definitely be affected by this to become a gathering place for various celebrities.

Now is the right time to buy a property in Malibu.

Although it was not until the end of March that he could get his last year's near, Amy started early to make people find a nice beachfront mansion in Malibu.

It's getting late, and seeing that the guests are almost there, Amy, who has been welcoming guests with her restaurant owner's boyfriend, is only a little idle.

After officially announcing the start of the party, Amy came to the living room next door.

As Simon inadvertently predicted, Sofia Fessi and Nancy Brill really looked the same as they were because they arrived early, and the two women had been chatting for more than an hour without knowing it.

Amy sat down on the sofa next to Sofia and Nancy holding a glass of red wine and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Nancy said: "Sophie intends to let the little boss help shoot Gucci's commercials. I think this idea is not good at all. Although I don't doubt that Simon must have enough strength to shoot a group of stunning commercials, but such a gimmick The ability to promote a brand is not as great as expected."

Amy heard that she looked at Sofia for some unknown reason, and Nancy's thoughts sometimes made people unable to keep up.

Sofia explained with a smile: "With regard to the Gucci promotion, I hope Simon can personally shoot a group of advertisements for Gucci, but Nancy puts forward another better suggestion. In the next half of the fashion week, he plans to shoot a Gucci brand for the theme. Documentary."

"Fashion documentaries, this is a very novel idea. If you plan to do this, I can help."

Sophia said: "I can't do this without the help of Daenerys Entertainment."

Amy realized that Sofia wasn’t kidding, but also took it seriously, thinking for a while: "If you really want to do it, you can put it under the high door film industry that Ayla is responsible for and operate as an art film. However, Sophie, I remember that luxury brands should not be as reserved and as low-key as possible? Will this be a little bit of publicity?"

Before Sofia had answered the call, Nancy shook her head: "Those low-key luxury brands have probably disappeared. I have privately studied the Dior and LVMH of Bernard Arnault in France. Bernard Arnold When the Bossac Group, the parent company of Dior, was acquired, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy and Dior could barely continue to operate. Arnault sold most of the assets of the Bosack Group and re-integrated Dior before the brand was reinstated. It’s a resurgence. Arnault’s mode of operation is a large-scale advertising campaign and various eye-catching public relations activities. In this respect, we obviously have an advantage."

Amy nodded and looked at Sofia again, saying: "In this case, you can talk to Ella later."

Sophia has begun to think about how to make this documentary, agreed, and asked Amy: "What about you, Amy, what are you busy with recently?"

Amy smiled: "A lot of things, it feels like flying."

Nancy suddenly said beside you at this moment: "I can help you share it."

Amy raised her hand and poked a note on Nancy's waist and said, "You can rest assured that I will never give you a chance to replace me."

Nancy opened Amy's hand and said, "Speaking of it, why did the little boss faint last time? I don't think he was overworked and always felt weird."

"Here, the doctor didn't check any problems, and no one can tell. But you also know what he used to do." Amy couldn't tell why, so she looked at Sofia and asked, "Sophie, you Just back from Melbourne, what do you think is going on?"

"I don't know more."

Sophia shook her head, but her expression was strange.

She didn't tell the two women that although the number of encounters wasn't too high, she could clearly feel that Simon had some different changes compared to the past.It's just that he can't be too specific about this change.

Not too embarrassed to say too clearly.

The three women chatted for a moment and then stood up again to the guests at the entertainment party.

Under the recommendation of Nancy, Sofia also found Elado Ichman, who was talking with guests in the crowd, and talked about the Gucci documentary.

Elado Ichman’s main thought during this time was in the public relations of several films such as "Rainman", but he still showed interest after hearing the introduction of the two women.

There are no fashion documentaries in the industry that are too successful, but it also happens to be an opportunity.

Moreover, this brand is also full of topics.

If it works properly, it can even put this documentary on the big screen.More importantly, this documentary does not require too high a production cost.

According to Elado Ichman’s experience, it only takes about three to five million dollars to complete.He has a budget of US$30 million. In addition to the release of several films such as "Metropolis" and "Sisters", Gaomen Pictures has only confirmed "My Left Foot" and "Driving for Miss Daisy". In the film, the cost of these two projects is very low, and he still has a large budget in his hands.

Moreover, the money for making the documentary does not need to be paid by Daenerys Entertainment.

The fundamental purpose of the documentary is to promote the Gucci brand, and Gucci must also have a part of the funds, which is probably equivalent to the sponsorship fee.Daenerys Entertainment only needs half the production cost to get all the copyright of a documentary.

After a detailed discussion, the three quickly determined the production plan of the Gucci documentary.

After the party ended, Elado Ichman also agreed with Sofia to continue to discuss the matter tomorrow, and the energetic Nancy Brill also participated with great interest.
