Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 481 Easter

Carefully served Simon for breakfast, and respectfully sent his boss out.

After the car disappeared into view, Zoe Parks and Isabelle Dunn looked at each other and ran up the villa together.

At the door of a bedroom on the second floor of the Shell Villa, the two women took their steps lightly, quietly pushed the door in, and walked through the outer living room to the bedroom. They saw the situation in the room at a glance.

The queen bed was obviously messy afterwards.

The female housekeeper was still asleep, lying in a prone position, her head slightly on her side, her arms still holding the pillow, exposing a rounded shoulder.

However, the two women's attention was attracted by the'strawberry' on the skin of the female housekeeper who was outside.

It must be the same on the neck, on the arms, on the shoulders, or... under the quilt.

Looking slightly at the probe with his mouth open, Isabelle looked at Zoe beside him, and his voice seemed to tremble a little, whispering, "No, die."

Isabelle blinked, looked at Zoe, and whispered: "Isn't it... dead?"

Immediately was glanced at.

Sensing the movements beside her, the housekeeper quickly opened her eyes and noticed the two heads beside the bed. After a short period of confusion, she subconsciously pulled the quilt to cover her body and forced a small stance to stare at Isabel and Zoe:" What are you doing?"

Zoe threw himself on the bed and leaned over, with a tone of humor in his tone: "Ellie, am I being dumped?"

Alice wanted to reach out and knock on Zoe's head, realizing the traces on her body and dismissing her thoughts. She didn't have a good air: "Yeah, now, will you go out first?"

"Alas, women are really unreliable."

Zoe's tone was abandoned by the negative heart, his beautiful eyes flashed, and he suddenly reached over.

The housekeeper had been guarded for a long time, and Zoe failed to succeed in trying to pull the quilt on her body. She struggled for a few times and saw Alice seemed to be showing signs of anger and anger.

The body still shrank in the quilt and waited for a while to confirm that the two guys would not break in again. The housekeeper got out of bed and quickly locked the bedroom door, finally letting go.

Turned to want to go to the bathroom, because from the alert feeling just relaxed, the body suddenly became soft, and the steps were staggered.

Entering the bathroom, turning on the faucet and putting the hot water, hesitating, he walked to the sink and glanced into the mirror.

Then he couldn't help hiding.

Jerk!

I couldn't help thinking of what happened last night.

Some guy said to make her beg for mercy.

How can it be!

Then, then, and then couldn't help begging for mercy.

result.

The loser is subject to punishment.

...

Just remember that he bit him hard at last.

but.

like.

Well, at least, it must have used the maximum strength at the time.

An hour later, after taking a bath and cleaning up all the traces,'out of arms' went downstairs, staring at the scarf on his neck, Zoe sat down in the restaurant and began to eat breakfast.

I realized something after a while.

He glanced at the food on the dining table called "rich", and then stared at the two women who were sitting next to each other.

Two guys.

Obviously intentional.

So many foods are prepared.

However, it's really hungry.

Isabel propped her chin to watch the housekeeper eat, and after a while, suddenly asked, "Ellie, isn't it big?"

Glancing at Isabel's breasts on the dining table, she didn't have a good air: "Not as big as you."

Isabelle stood up with a smile, and then he was a little depressed, thinking of something, curious: "How do you seduce the boss?"

how?

Alice paused to eat, thinking about it carefully.

It seems that there is no clue.

Last night because of curiosity about him, staring at some guy for a while.

However, this does not seem to seduce it.

It's just that she did have some guilty conscience at the time and didn't know some details.

or.

This is where a guy suddenly came in.

She had expected this day very early, and she did not mean to refuse.

just.

How did it happen, but I don’t remember.

I recalled it carefully, faintly, at some point in the living room last night, he looked a little wrong in his eyes.

What's wrong?

can not say it clearly.

In the end, it can only be regarded as the pleasure of a man.

If you don’t understand, you don’t think about it.

Having eaten breakfast, it was more than nine o'clock in the morning.

There was something to talk to him this time when I returned to Los Angeles.

About the idea of ​​embedding instant messaging software developed by a team of Eaglet in the Amazon online store as a communication tool.

I talked with Jeff Bezos in advance. Bezos thinks that because of the need to hire a large number of service personnel, it may significantly increase the cost of manual services in the online store.Although I do not object to it, I think it is necessary to do so, but Igreat’s current operating conditions are already full. If you add another team, the burden on all aspects will increase.

Moreover, the instant messaging software that Simon personally named ICQ is said to have a far more long-term layout in the portrayal of a guy than as an online shopping tool.

but.

Now, I still decided to tell him these things by email.

Since she didn't plan to stay any longer and had breakfast, the housekeeper hurried to Houston, Texas.

This is a journey of digging people.

Igerett’s demand for high-end computer talent has been increasing, and the company has been lobbying the California government to increase visa quotas for overseas senior technical talents.

The Amazon online store is currently developing a brand new recommendation system for recommending books that may be of interest to users browsing the store.

Because of the emergence of the Internet industry, there are not many professional technical talents, and we can only target people according to their corresponding capabilities.

The recommended system in the plan, in addition to basic programming, also requires some developers to have strong mathematical calculation capabilities.

After searching a few times, Alice found that NASA had quite a lot of similar talents. The operation of the space shuttle and the calculation of satellite orbits were only as high as the Amazon’s recommendation system, so they were directly dug from NASA. People's thoughts.

During this period of time, some people responded because of Igreat's generous salary.The female housekeeper flew to the Johnson Space Center in Houston for an interview this time, and then flew to Washington again.

As Easter nears, many North American and high school students have started the annual spring break, and the Easter period has also begun.

On April 10, the week before Easter, a total of two new films were released in the North American theater. They were the horror film "The Bloody Night Devil" by Columbia Pictures and a 2D animated film "The Last Rainforest" by Fox Pictures. .

"The Bloody Night Demon" is another adaptation of Stephen King's novel, which tells the story of a half-human half-cat half-sleeper's sleepwalking ghost killing. The film opens on a screen of 1864 blocks.

"The Last Rainforest" opened with 1401 screens, which is a test of Fox in the field of animated movies.

From April 10th to April 16th, the seven-day box office of "The Bloody Night Demon" was finally drawn at 12.4 million US dollars, which won the box office at a single week. The opening of the film is not high or low. Box office curve trend.

"The Last Rainforest" failed to elicit the response that Fox wanted. At 1401 screens, the box office was only $5.14 million in the first seven days of the week. Taking advantage of Easter’s family atmosphere, the best box office potential is probably only $20 million in North America. box office.

However, the production cost of this animated film is $20 million.

Fox can only look forward to the subsequent channels to earn money back.

This year's Easter is April 19, Simon and Janet set off for Australia on April 16.

At the same time, "Ninja Turtles 2" under Daenerys Entertainment was also released on April 17, with a screen size of 2,976.

The success of the first "Ninja Turtles" comes down to the wider popularity of this animation IP and the curiosity of the audience.

However, the real Ninja Turtles are actually not too flattering.

After repeated consideration by the production and distribution team, the market positioning of "Ninja Turtles 2" has targeted young audiences from the beginning. Therefore, focusing on wonderful action design and exciting adventure elements, MTV and other media platforms for teenagers have also become " The focus of the announcement of Ninja Turtles 2.

The risk of this kind of adjustment is actually very large, because in the first part, the audience of children who bought tickets for the love of cartoons accounted for a large part.

However, Simon personally approved this adventure.

After all, if you follow the original route, it is very likely that you will only repeat the mistakes of the new line in time and space.

The new positioning and attempt, even if unsuccessful, with the popularity of the first part and the popularity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IP, at most it is only going to the same situation as the original time and space.

In addition to "Ninja Turtles 2", "Joy City" starring Patrick Switzer, the actor of "The Ghost Story" by Warner Brothers, was also released during the same period. The film tells the story of an American doctor practicing medicine in a slum in India.

Simon has read the materials of "Happy City" in advance. "Happy City" is directed by Roland Yofi, who has twice nominated Oscar for best director. This film was blocked by the authorities more than once during the shooting process in India. Bumpy.However, compared to Roland Joffe’s previous two Oscar-nominated “War Slaughter City” and “Fighting Fire”, the film criticism of “Happy City” is average.

Warner Bros. Pictures only arranged 811 screens for the film.

The Simons were in Australia, and the relevant data of "Ninja Turtles 2" was still in his hands for the first time.

After the film was released, even with a public relations component, the North American media generally gave this sequel a relatively positive evaluation, with a comprehensive score of 7.1.The film review article of "Zhongyi" also praised the breakthrough of "Ninja Turtle 2" in the plot mode.

As the most watched Easter movie and the most publicized movie, the opening box office of "Ninja Turtle 2" also met expectations.

In the first three days of the first weekend, 2976 screens finally received 26.13 million US dollars.

Although it failed to achieve a break of 10,000 for the three-day pavilion, the $26.13 million opening of the first three days of the box office at the beginning of the week is also enough to look up to all other films in the same period.

"Happy City", which was painted on the same day, had a budget cost of US$27 million, almost the same as the "Ninja Turtles 2" budget of US$30 million, but the box office at the first three days was only US$3.39 million.

The Simons and his wife arrived in Melbourne on April 17 and did not return until April 23.

In addition to watching the little guy, this trip to Melbourne, the Johnston family also agreed on another thing, about the wedding of David Johnston and Leslie Whittaker.

Although not reluctant, Raymond Johnston was relieved at the insistence of his son.

The wedding of the two was finalized in November at the end of the year, and the location was naturally in Melbourne.

Back in the United States, the first week of "Ninja Turtles 2" box office was officially released.

Over the course of seven days, the box office receipts for this popular anime adaptation eventually reached $37.38 million.

The start was quite eye-catching, more than $5 million from the first box office of $32.16 million in the first week.

For Simon, this data also broke the box office plummeting trend of the sequel that neither the new line in the sky nor Paramount failed to break through.

Therefore, although with the passing of Easter, Daenerys Entertainment’s distribution department predicts that the box office’s drop in the next week may reach 40% based on the box office on April 24, far less than the 17% drop in the first week, Simon There is still no dissatisfaction with this.

With a start of $37.38 million, even with the 40% drop in the following week, the total box office in North America is still expected to exceed the $100 million mark.

Compared to the US$30 million production budget and the US$15 million publicity investment, Daenerys Entertainment can only start to make profits at the box office in North America.

The reputation and box office in North America have reached expectations, and the box office in overseas markets will certainly rise.

However, after Easter, the most striking thing is the Apollo Management Company owned by Cersei Capital. It was in the competition with KKR and Blackstone that it successfully won Victoria's secret parent company with a bid of 2.45 billion US dollars. LTD.

Starting in February, the acquisition, which had been entangled for more than two months, was finally settled.

In the final game, KKR's offer was 100 million US dollars higher than Cersei Capital's acquisition team, reaching 2.55 billion US dollars.

However, compared to Cersei Capital's one-time full payment, KKR provides a three-year cash plus bond payment model.Moreover, in terms of corporate management rights, KKR's requirements are also more demanding than Cersei Capital. Not only did it disagree with the requirement of the LTD founder Leslie Wexner's family to retain part of the shares, but also to require the other party to immediately suspend the acquisition Resignation.

After Blackstone tried to cooperate with KKR and Cersei Capital to no avail, it also made an unquoted quotation plan for LTD.

According to the information revealed later, the total offer price of this plan was only 2.4 billion US dollars, which was naturally eliminated.

Finally, the LTD board of directors voted and finally decided to accept Cersei Capital's proposal.
