Hollywood Hunter

The closest mansion to the west side of Dumei Cape Manor, the villa is a three-story three-dimensional modern style building. The white building body seems to be a stack of many cuboids, and it has a modern sense.

Simon walked around the villa with a female assistant. The two came to the third-floor terrace. The female assistant leaned on the railing and looked at the ocean. Simon naturally embraced her waist and asked, "How?"

"Very good," the female assistant put her face on the side and posted a sticker with Simon, and pointed to a row of mansions on the west side: "You bought all these?"

"Yeah, how?"

Jennifer said: "In recent years there have always been a lot of media criticizing you for luxury."

"I don't care what other people say, I only do what I want to do."

The female assistant actually didn't care, nor did she persuade Simon to converge or use the money for public welfare.From the first encounter, he became the mother of his child at this time, and unknowingly passed this year, watching him step by step, watching him create a huge business empire, she felt that she was still listening to Venice Beach He secretly put down the $10 unknown girl while singing.

Until now, I still just want to stand beside him silently forever.

No matter what the outsider is, no matter what he does, she will always be the one on his side.

Noting that the female assistant in her arms looked at the east side of the bay with some surprise, Simon followed him, there was the coastal line of Santa Monica: "What are you looking at?"

Jennifer said: "Suddenly remembered the situation when I first saw you."

Having said that, I remembered that he still didn't know about the original video tape, nor did he intend to let him know that he wanted to be a secret in his heart forever.

Simon hugged the waist of her female assistant tightly and smiled: "Did you secretly like me the first time you met?"

Jennifer recalled that it was actually the second time they met, and teased slightly: "Did you mean the guy who was beaten into the hospital at that time?"

"Well, let's change the subject."

"Oh," the female assistant smiled, looked up at the time, and said, "Let's go back, the children should wake up."

The two returned to the Shell Villa. Girl A happened to return from the outside and brought back a set of scrolls.

The female assistant first went to the baby room to see the two little guys. While the children were still asleep, they came out to enjoy the scroll Alison brought back with Simon.

This is a Chinese painting.

The length is close to three meters wide and one meter five. The picture above is a magnificent ancient war picture. Tens of thousands of ancient soldiers of various types are fighting hard on the vast battlefield. Giant siege vehicles and awe-inspiring knives In the battle, the cruel cavalry collided, the crumbling city was ruined, the corpses ran around the field, and the distant mountains were stained with blood, and the right side of the banner was Cao Song's "Ji Hai Sui" cursively written on the right.

At first, she just asked girl A to find someone to write Cao Song's poem.

Later, I felt that the thin poems were a little pale, so I ordered it at will and got the painting.

The painter's skill is very deep. The female assistant does not know the psalm on the right side of the frame, but it is difficult to restrain the status of this cruel war picture and feel a little suffocation.Involuntarily holding Simon's arm, whispered: "I don't like this picture."

Simon patted on the back of the female assistant's hand, beckoning the four girls who showed the huge painting carefully: "Put it away and put it in the showroom."

After speaking, she said to the female assistant: "Let's go and see the children."

Jennifer finally glanced at the painting that the four of Alison were carefully rolling up, nodded, and followed Simon to the baby room. After thinking about it, he didn't ask the exit.

Simon did not explain.

In New York City, as David Dingkins lost to Rudy Giuliani 41% to 59% in the mayoral election on November 1, some things have been settled temporarily.

Of course, there is follow-up.

Since he decided to crack down on the entire David Dingkins city cabinet, Simon had no intention of ending.

The Westeros system tends to stand on the side of the Democratic Party,

Perhaps the two sides will have some discord, Simon does not care.

If David Dingkins suddenly turned his face, Simon did not make a strong enough layout for the first time, he believes that many subsequent small movements will definitely come.

In this world, the more people are in the high position, the more they like to weigh. Sometimes, this is a weak reaction in the eyes of the enemy.

Simon did not hesitate to directly face the Speyer family behind the scenes of the Iron Lion, or even the hard-line faction with the Democratic Party, so that many people realized his personality.Westeros didn't turn to peace because of the increase in wealth and power. He was still the madman who could break other people's legs without hesitation.

Even, considering the gang fights in Bowery Bay, a young man seems to be more crazy.

For such a person, if there is no certainty of winning, playing with small actions will only outweigh the gains.

Janet picked up Cersei Capital again, and Simon also started working again after the weekend.

While many Hollywood filmmakers still sighed with the unexpected box office performance of the Halloween Deadline "Seven Deadly Sins", just the past weekend, "The Lion King" once again brought shock to everyone.

For a 3D animated film, Daenerys Entertainment not only invested US$60 million in production costs, but also announced a scale of US$30 million. Before the film was released, most media believed that Daenerys Entertainment dared to invest so. The key lies in The potential peripheral benefits of 3D animated movies.

Daenerys Entertainment probably did not intend to make any profits at the box office.

You must know that in the "Toy Story" two years ago, in addition to the US$400 million box office worldwide, the sales of peripheral toys for the movie in the past two years have exceeded US$3 billion. Counting the income of video tapes and TV broadcasting, the entire project The net profit brought by Daenerys Entertainment has reached 1 billion US dollars, most of which comes from the surrounding toy sales.

Moreover, "Toy Story" brings more than just money to Daenerys Entertainment. The success of this film not only broke Disney's long-term monopoly on animated movies, but also led to Daenerys Entertainment. The development of the entire industrial chain of its surroundings, games, theme parks and so on.

Therefore, this time "Lion King", in the eyes of many people, is just a further layout of Daenerys Entertainment in the whole industry chain.

According to the phenomenon of the sophomore curse seen in Hollywood, whether it is a filmmaker or a studio, after the first movie is amazing, the second movie produced will often be much worse than before.

There are even some media predictions, such as "The Lion King", an animation film without fairy tale popularity or a partial animal theme, the local box office can break through 100 million has already been a success.Daenerys Entertainment is likely to only have a profitable outcome this time.

Because there is not too much of the "Lion King" as a threat, there are a total of six films that were drawn in the same period on November 19.Although there are three very small literary award-winning films, there are also two blockbuster movies at the end of the year. They are Fox produced by Robin Williams and the biography of Slender Dad and Columbia Pictures. The epic movie "Gronimo".

Simon's memory of "The Slender Dad" has a local box office of more than 200 million US dollars, and was the runner-up at the box office in 1993 after Jurassic Park in 1993.

"Gronimo", produced by Columbia Pictures, tells the story of a hero named Gronimo who rebelled against the British ruler during the American Independent War. The film budget reached 35 million US dollars, the same A-level production level.

Simon didn't have much impression of "Gronimo" in mind, which is obviously one of the expensive box office dummies left by Peter Cooper.After an audit that lasted several months, Sony finally announced a write-down of $2.5 billion in assets against Columbia Pictures.

The write-down of assets is actually a loss in disguise.

The loss of $2.5 billion, although it is $200 million less than Simon’s memory, is definitely not to be underestimated.

After the news was announced, Sony's stock price has been continuously lowered for more than a month, and the market value has even returned to less than 15 billion US dollars.Circles have also repeatedly heard that Sony plans to get rid of this hot potato.

Despite being in the mud, Colombia has prepared a screen of 1,605 screens for "Gronimo". The screen size of Robin Williams's "Slender Papa" also reached 1,678. Although both films reached Less than the opening level of 2691 in "The Lion King", in the eyes of many people, it also poses a clear threat to the "Lion King", especially the film "The Slender Dad" that belongs to the family type.

Daenerys Entertainment opened the media of "The Lion King" after its premiere on November 17.

Because the media participating in the premiere was selected in advance, the first wave of media reviews of "The Lion King" was almost one-sided praise, and there were a lot of soft or hard publicity on the Internet platform.

However, even if it is officially on Friday to open a large-scale painting, many people don't think "Lion King" will have a great box office.

Until Saturday.

When countless media reporters and film company executives were woken up by the phone at one or two o'clock in the morning on Saturday and saw the box office data report of the previous day, many people's first reaction was even'Are you mistaken?'

$16.33 million on the first day.

The first day.

Is this still a cartoon?

The Igrid portal responded the first time, and directly pushed the first-day box office data of "The Lion King" to the headline of the portal homepage.

"A new box office record for animated movies, "The Lion King" $16.33 million on the first day."

At the box office on the first day of 16.33 million US dollars, what is this concept?

The comparison is clear.

At the same time, "Small Dad" released at the box office on the first day was only 5.31 million US dollars. It is expected that the first three days of the first weekend will be able to reach the first day of "Lion King".In another "Gronimo", the first-day box office score was only 1.29 million US dollars, less than one-tenth of "The Lion King".

At the same time, the first day of 16.33 million US dollars, means that "Lion King" at the first weekend box office is about 50 million US dollars, the first week box office is expected to reach 70 million US dollars.

$70 million in the first week, which is already at the same level as the DC Film Universe project.

Two years ago, "Toy Story", the total box office in North America was 211 million US dollars, which surprised everyone. The box office in the first seven days of the time was only 46.73 million US dollars.

Daenerys Entertainment's large-scale promotion of "The Lion King" has already made this movie very famous.

Although a large portion of traditional paper media remained quite indifferent to the news of the film’s first day box office, the topic of "The Lion King" was quickly renewed through the efforts of the Igrid portal and the media close to the Westeros system. Go up a step.

Originally, both word-of-mouth and popularity have been very good, plus the gimmick of breaking the box office record, "The Lion King" unwittingly attracted more media into the theater, and quickly formed a phenomenal movie watching boom.

$16.33 million on the first day.

18.29 million US dollars on Saturday.

17.31 million US dollars on Sunday.

Three days after the painting, the cumulative box office of "The Lion King" quickly reached 51.93 million US dollars.

A new record for the same animated movie box office.

Faced with the impact of "The Lion King", the first-day box office was still a good "Shy Daddy". The three-day box office at the first weekend ended up only 13.76 million US dollars. Conservatively expected to also "Lion King" suppressed the box office of at least 2 million US dollars.

Simon knew more clearly that this kind of repression spanned the two major periods of the whole year-end.

The target group of "Slender Papa" is the same as "Lion King", and they are all family members. This time, with the better choice of "Lion King", the box office of "Shy Papa" will inevitably shrink.

No matter how hard the traditional media try to provoke some controversy, attacking the "Lion King" is to imitate the Disney style, stab the film for alleged hidden racial discrimination, etc., can not stop this phenomenon-level 3D animation film.

In the end, seven days from November 19 to November 25, the cumulative box office of "Lion King" reached 70.31 million US dollars, second only to the 72.17 million US dollars in the first week of "Jurassic Park", and the first week of "The Flash". The US$72.86 million box office and six films, "Wonder Woman", "Superman", "Batman: The Moment of War", and "Batman: The Dark Knight", ranked seventh at the box office in North American film history in the first week.

The DC movie universe has been classified as another dimension by Hollywood, and "Jurassic Park" has brought too much visual shock to the audience. The success of these movies is traceable.

As a cartoon, being able to go hand-in-hand with a phenomenal movie can only be described as a miracle.

With the big box office sale of "Lion King", Daenerys Entertainment's more perfect peripheral sales channels have also quickly brought toys, posters, clothing and other products related to the film to the market. The initial statistics of the first week's account reached 2 The billion-dollar level, after all, is due to the type of subject matter. This result is not as good as the "Toy Story", which is richer in peripheral products, but at this time, no one dares to question the business prospects of "The Lion King".

In addition, after the box office was released in the first week, the video games and theme park projects related to "The Lion King" all entered the pre-planning stage with green lights.
