Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 582 Family Affairs

Faced with the suppression of a large number of paper media on word of mouth, the seven-day box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" still reached US$33.76 million, far exceeding the initial US$20 million box office expectations of the New World Pictures distribution team.

Although there are many factors such as the film itself being good enough, the role of the Internet platform in the process of distributing the film is crucial.

Different from the open Internet environment where the flowers and flowers bloom in the space and time, the current Internet platform can almost be completely controlled by the Westeros system. More than 60 million ordinary netizens in North America can only browse through the Internet Explorer of Igreat. Internet surfing.

In an open Internet environment, if a film company wants to speculate on the topic of a movie, it needs to invest a lot of money and resources, and it may not necessarily play a good advertising effect.

Now, what the Westeros system wants netizens to see, they must be able to see.

This time, netizens saw "Seven Deadly Sins".

In the first week, US$33.76 million, according to the survey data of Daenerys Entertainment, up to 33% of the viewers were more or less affected by the information about "Seven Deadly Sins" on the Internet platform.

If "Seven Deadly Sins" subtracted 33% at the box office data for the first week, the result would be $22.61 million, which coincides with the initial $20 million box office expectations of the film distribution team.

Simon saw the questionnaire before the high-level regular meeting of Daenerys Entertainment on Monday.

Amy's seal at the meeting was also given by Simon himself.

An all-round effort by Igrid Portal has brought a box office gain of more than 30% to a movie. When the news comes out, it will definitely make many people red-hearted and control the Westeros of Igrid. The system will inevitably face more pressure.

It is king to mute and get rich.

In fact, Simon had anticipated the powerful public opinion guidance capability of the Igrid Portal very early. The 20 million user visits per day are equivalent to the top federal newspapers such as The New York Times and Los Angeles Times. A dozen times the amount.

In order to ensure the neutrality of the Eaglenet portal as a communication platform and avoid the deviation of the Eagletree team's development direction, Simon has never used the company's strength to promote a movie in all aspects.

Even if the previous few DC movie universe projects were only natural cooperation, the film distribution team put advertisements, and the Igrid portal provided announcements. During this process, the Igrid team did not deliberately guide the topic of the relevant film.

This "Seven Deadly Sins" is also the first time that Igrid and Daenerys have spared no effort to cooperate.

The development strategy of barbaric growth has been determined, and the cooperation between the various subsidiaries of the Westeros system will be greatly enhanced, including between Igret and Daenerys, but it is similar to the large scale of "Seven Deadly Sins" To promote, Simon does not intend to use it easily in the future.

Simon has never underestimated the IQ of users.

If the Igrid portal is reduced to a soft advertising platform for the products of each subsidiary of the Westeros system, everyone logs on the website and sees the movie information related to Daenerys Entertainment, and the financial information is related to Cersei Capital, fashion The channel always touts the brand of Melisandre, so, falling into this narrow pattern of self-talk and self-entertainment, even if the Igrid portal is not abandoned by users, it will inevitably not have much development. .

After all, the Internet is going to develop.

If Igerit wants to maintain the position of the Internet industry giant, it must also have sufficient openness and inclusiveness.

In addition to "Seven Deadly Sins", Simon has paid less attention to work since the end of October, and both women have also been admitted to the hospital for labor.

So until November 3, the female assistant quietly gave birth to the second child of Westeros in a private hospital in the Bay Area. The mother and child were safe. The little girl named Seattle Westeros had a beautiful pair. The blue eyes of her always seem to be a little curious in the pure eyes of this world.

Simon accompanied Jennifer's mother and daughter in San Francisco for three days and had to rush back to Los Angeles.

Janet also gave birth to the third child of Westeros on the evening of November 6.

Nicholas Westero, who was crying a lot at birth, weighed 9 pounds, and he was fatter than his brother had. This caused Janet to bite Simon’s arm in the delivery room and yelled that he would never be born again. It took six hours.

According to the original agreement, the two little guys whose birth date was only three days away were registered under the name of Janet in the name of twins.

When she was pregnant, Jennifer also said that she gave the child to Janet completely. However, as the pregnancy grew, the female assistant began to regret it. After the daughter was born, she looked at the beautiful blue eyes of the little boy in her arms. The female assistant repented completely and planned to raise the child herself.

Simon has no objection to this.

Janet, who was suffering from childbirth, said that if the female assistant likes it, she can throw her little villain and let her raise it together.

Although Janet will be a good mother with due diligence when the child is around, but a woman who likes unrestrained in her heart is not very interested in raising the child herself.

Simon is actually the same.

Simon has many ideas about the child's future, but if he is allowed to personally achieve this, it is really difficult.

In the final analysis, neither Simon and his wife are considered too qualified parents.

The two children were born one after another. Although Simon could not take care of it, neither side was deserted.

The female assistant is surrounded by her family and the informed George Norman family.

On the Los Angeles side, the Johnstons came together as they were when Melbourne was born.

However, unlike the great fanfare at the time of Melbourne's birth, Simon did not disclose any news in the public media this time, and some media that heard the little guy born and wanted to report were also suppressed by the public relations team of the Westeros system.

In addition to the Johnston family, Simon also refused to visit a senior executive of the Westeros system, and the gift was delivered.

The Raymond Johnstons did not spend much time in Los Angeles this time. They saw their little grandson. The old man also brought Melbourne back to Australia when he was leaving. The reason was that it was too cold in Los Angeles. The two had no opinion, Veronica was very reluctant, but she couldn't bear her brother.

Finally, I got rid of my parents and mothers who wouldn't spoil themselves in the sky, and the little guy did not miss when he left.

The Raymonds returned to Australia, and Anthony and others also left.

Simon continued to accompany the two women on maternity leave, and the time was unconsciously approaching Thanksgiving.

After the $33.76 million in the first week, because the hot topic continued, and even had a word-of-mouth effect, the box office of the Seven Deadly Sins fell only 22% in the next week, and continued to receive $26.33 million.

A total of $60.09 million at the box office in two weeks, easily breaking Daenerys Entertainment's original North American box office expectations for the film at $60 million.

From November 12 to November 18, the week before the Thanksgiving schedule, the box office decline of Seven Deadly Sins was still well controlled at 26%, and another $19.53 million was recorded. After three weeks of release, the cumulative box office of Seven Deadly Sins reached $79.62 million.

In three weeks, the film has basically recovered all the production and distribution costs, and the fourth week of release will begin to generate profits.

Even if it is about to enter the fiercely competitive Thanksgiving stage, the three-week box office is close to 80 million US dollars, and the total North American box office of the film is expected to reach between 130 million and 150 million US dollars.

The original "Seven Deadly Sins" North American box office happened to exceed 100 million US dollars. This time, the film will only increase at least 30% at the North American box office, a large part of which are the gains brought by the Internet platform.

Simon and his wife attended the premiere of "The Lion King" together on November 17.

This is Janet's first public appearance after giving birth.

Initially, this animation was used by Simon as a gift to Janet.

In the official version of the film, Simon did not shun the word "Jenny". Although the media was still prevented from taking Janet just to give birth to the second child as a gimmick, it did not cover up the little behind the animation. story.

As a result, this inadvertent dog food made many young people who were not very interested in animated movies enter the cinema.

On November 19th, "The Lion King" was officially released on a large scale in North America, and the number of screens opened reached 2,691.

Although Simon does not intend to use the Igreat Portal’s promotional resources too frequently, this time the Lion King is an exception.

As the second 3D animated film produced by Daenerys Entertainment, whether this film can be as successful as the first "Toy Story" is not only related to whether Daenerys Entertainment can establish a foothold in the animation field, or even It will have a very important impact on next year's Daenerys Entertainment IPO.

However, after attending the premiere of "The Lion King", Simon once again set aside the matter and went on vacation with the two women.

After half a month of training, the female assistant finally returned to Los Angeles and quietly moved into Dumei Point Estate.

When the Simon and his wife attended the premiere of "The Lion King", the female assistant took care of two little guys at Dumei Cape Manor.

Janet always dislikes the fat son who made her suffer during childbirth, but she fell in love with Seattle with a pair of beautiful eyes at first glance, and began to teach the little girl to call her mother in front of the female assistant, of course not What would happen, Janet believed that the little girl was talking to herself with her eyes.

Simon has long seen that Seattle's eyes are typical of Danfeng eyes in Eastern terms. This kind of eye shape always has a little more charm than other eyes. In memory, women have Danfeng eyes which is often a symbol of intelligence.

What is even more rare is the kind of spirituality that always flashes in the eyes of the little girl. Like the same pair of blue little radars, she explores everything that appears in her own eyes. It is no wonder that Janet will like it at a glance.

Simon can be quite certain that his daughter will be very smart in the future.

"It doesn't matter if you are smart or not, I just hope that Cyr can grow up happily."

"With my presence, our children will of course be happy forever."

"I am worried when you are here."

The afternoon of the weekend is November 20th.

After feeding the two children, taking care of the two little boys to sleep, and instructing Zoe and Isabel, who was in charge of care, Simon and the female assistant left the Shell Villa together and walked along the corridor in the manor to the west side of the manor.

The original fence has been removed here, and it directly connects with a row of villas with sea views to the west.

The Dome Point Estate is very high, especially the Shell Villa.

In recent years, in order to avoid prying around, Simon has been continuously purchasing annual properties while establishing a walled planting of tall trees to hide the outside view.

In the past few years, it happened to be the period when the US real estate industry was in the doldrums. The economic environment was not good. Under the premium offensive, many properties on the east and west sides of Dumei Point and the north direction became the properties of the Westeros.

Among them, the entire row of one kilometer long on the west side of Dumei Cape Estate is a total of 32 cliffs and luxury houses, but this part of the property cost Simon 100 million dollars.On the east side, because some residents insisted on some ridiculously high prices, they only extended 700 meters, and there were also 21 luxury houses.To the north, Simon eats a total of 56 large and small properties in a 15-hectare area.

All calculated, around Dumei Cape, Simon owns a total of about 50 hectares of land, including a 1 km long private beach with 32 mansions on the west side.

It can be said that at present, there is only Simon in the fan-shaped 500-meter range around Dumei Cape. All other households that have been bought by Simon have moved out. Simon has been dealing with the new Dumei Cape for several years. The manor is undergoing continuous renovation.

In the current plan, all the smaller properties will be demolished, and only large-scale mansions of more than 1 acre will be retained. Scattered and guarded around the Dumei Cape Manor, a total of 53 mansions by the sea will be retained.

In addition, roads are being rebuilt in a planned way.

Simon and the female assistant are planning to see one of the mansions on the west side.

Live in the Shell Villa these days, although Janet has no objections, the female assistant has no intention of staying in the manor all the time.However, having been a mother, it is certainly not suitable to continue to live in your uncle's house.

Simon and the female assistant discussed several times these days, and Jennifer finally agreed to live in a mansion on the west side of the manor.

Although after the re-planning is completed, a row of cliff mansions on the west side are actually counted as Dumei Cape manor area, but they are not crowded together in the shell villa.After making such a decision, the female assistant no longer insists on bringing the child with her, but raises with Nicolas.

The female assistant probably also sees these days that although the two children are nominally under the name of Janet, they may be asked to take care of them more in the future.

After attending the premiere of "The Lion King", just yesterday, Janet flew to New York, Cersei Capital has accumulated too much work in the past six months, and this company also plans to start some big actions next year. Janet needs to be involved.

The female assistant has already planned to quit her job completely. She feels that Girl A can completely replace her work. In the future, she intends to concentrate on taking care of her daughter, and maybe some fat boy who is rejected by her mother.
