Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 734 Fiasco (3)

During the tumultuous mid-term election process, the second week of the Halloween period of the North American theater quietly ended.

In a box office week from November 4th to November 10th, Daenerys Entertainment produced the second movie of the "Moving Soul Movie Universe" series, "The Haunted Morgue in the Mortuary". After the first week received $45.71 million, the box office box office fell the following week. Reaching 49%, and receiving USD 23.35 million, the performance is obviously not as good as the next week's trend of "Soul".

However, in two weeks, the cumulative box office of "Haunted Morgue in the Mortuary" has reached $69.06 million.

Even if the New World Pictures team’s additional $5 million was announced after the first week’s box office sale, the total budget cost for the production and distribution of The Morgue in the Morgue was only $35 million.Two weeks of $69.06 million at the box office, according to the ladder share rule, Daenerys Entertainment has fully recovered all investments and began to achieve profitability.

The brand of the Spirit of the Movie Universe is thoroughly rooted in the hearts of the people through the operation of two films.

Friday, November 11.

On the third day after the end of the mid-term elections, the North American Thanksgiving Day opened.

Daenerys Entertainment’s first movie released on Thanksgiving Day was “Disguised Geek”, and Kim Carey’s second film after “The Detective Aircraft Head”, which was sold at Easter, opened 2360 screens. Piece.

At the same time, there are two other heavyweight new films opening this week, MGM's "Terror Zone" and Warner Bros. "Vampires at Night."

MGM's "Terror Zone" is about a deadly virus crisis caused by poaching. This is a project that Simon arranged for MGM according to memory. The original version starred Dustin Hoffman and Renee Russell. The box office is pretty good.

Under the influence of Simon’s big butterfly, the new version of "Terror Zone" starred Sam Neal, who gained widespread popularity in "Jurassic Park", because Renee Russell became the heroine of the new version of "Jurassic Park", both sides Not suitable to continue to partner, and finally finalized Oscar film Jessica Lange.

The film ended up costing US$30 million, slightly exceeding Simon’s original expectations. However, the result of the film was not bad. MGM arranged 2215 screens.

The last "Vampire at Night" is even more interesting.

The original duo of the movie were Tom Cruise and the newly rising Brad Pitt. The producer was David Ge who wanted to test the movie production after selling the Geffen Records. Fin.

Now, because of the entanglement with Daenerys Entertainment, Tom Cruise has been completely photographed on the beach.After Brad Pitt appeared in "Superman", the popularity was booming.

As an important water test project before the establishment of DreamWorks with the three of Steven Spielberg, even if he openly disclosed his sexual orientation, David Geffen was hailed as the most powerful gay in Hollywood. For large projects, it is impossible to choose a role according to your own preferences.

What's more, the signing director Neil Jordan and several intended actors, and even the publisher Warner Bros., are inextricably linked to Daenerys Entertainment.

Without Simon's words at all, these people would take the initiative to avoid working with Tom Cruise.

So, in the new version of "Vampire at Night", the two male protagonists finally fell on Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt.

As the core of the DC movie universe, Pete can appear. Naturally, he needs to obtain the permission of both Warner and Daenerys. It is reasonable to say that in order to avoid consuming the actor's popularity, Simon usually does not agree to the DC movie universe core actors appear in other blockbusters, but, The theme of "Night Visiting the Vampire" has no conflict with "Superman", so Simon agreed.

In addition, a very outstanding Loli in the original version still chose Kirsten Dunst with a 13-year shelf life.

Warner Bros. finally gave 2,604 screens of this best-selling novel adaptation film.

Compared with the uneven quality of the new films of the Halloween period, this time, the three films that were drawn have won a very good reputation.

As for "Ghost in Disguise", although under the mediation of Jonathan, Simon let go of Kim Carey, but Simon still hopes that the film can follow the trend of "Detective Aircraft Head" and sell well, and it will not break through 100 million. It doesn't matter, in the three new films, "The Disguised Ghost" has the lowest cost, only 25 million US dollars. Even if it is 10 million US dollars, it will only cost 70 million US dollars to recover the cost and start to make money.

On the other hand, plans to continue to create news hot spots to divert public attention from the midterm elections continue.

Vote for the mid-term elections on Tuesday, release of Victoria's Secret Rehearsal News on Wednesday and signing of Broadcast with Stephen King. On Thursday, the "Information Age" marketing plan was opened for a record ten-day performance. Naturally, Friday was a Thanksgiving schedule. The third Victoria's Secret Fashion Show opened on the spot.

At the same time, the National Rifle Association's sniping plan to avenge a series of MPs who voted to agree to the Gun Control Act was also exposed by a leftist media in New York. Through some covert operations, the relevant public opinion quickly spread across the country and constantly instilled this kind of The impression of being manipulated by the National Rifle Association in the midterm elections.

In order to further promote public opinion, many media have suddenly begun to focus on recent shootings in various parts of the federal state. Mississippi caused a school shooting in which six students died. A desperate middle-aged man in Minnesota has been unemployed for three years. Killed four of his former boss's family, and a six-year-old child in Oregon accidentally killed his sister during a forced play, and so on.

The number of deaths caused by various types of shootings in the United States is more than 10,000 per year. There are too many similar cases.

In the past, because of the lack of a global information platform such as the Internet, many shootings were limited to the local area. Large newspapers will not follow up on this kind of "chicken skin", so it will not cause too strong social impact.

Now, a series of incidents are suddenly being reported together, and there are also large-scale media platforms such as the New York Times and the Igret Portal. The shooting incident, which seemed to be less eye-catching, immediately appeared shocking.

Although the National Rifle Association is strong, the United States has never lacked organizations that support gun control. For a time, many groups and individuals with gun control positions began to speak out, and they did not forget to direct the spearhead to the mid-term elections just past, accusing the country. The Rifle Association has led to the loss of a large number of impartial parliamentarians with social conscience because of their own private interests.

There is no airtight wall in the world.

Simon could not block everyone's mouth.

Among the turbulent public opinion, there is naturally no lack of news that the Westeros system is heavily interfering with the mid-term elections.

In any case, the operation of the Westeros system during this mid-term elections is actually greater than the National Rifle Association, and, after all, because of the underlying reasons, the tactics are far less smooth than the National Rifle Association, many operations With a fortune of roughness.

Fortunately, similar news broke, basically covered by a series of more high-profile news hot spots, even if someone noticed, instinctively feel that the National Rifle Association is more abominable.

However, the public's eyes can be diverted and guided, but Washington will not be fascinated by Simon's dazzling operation.

Both the White House and the Congress know what the Westeros have done in the mid-term elections just passed.

Except for a few extreme left politicians, many members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and even Mr. President, there are all kinds of gold powers behind the scenes. However, this does not mean that Washington will really be willing to be a puppet of many chaebols. Otherwise, after two hundred years, the United States has already become South Korea.

Therefore, the Westeros system interfered with the election of nearly one-tenth of the politicians in both houses of Congress. Not only did Washington feel daunted, but it also had strong vigilance.Based on Simon Westero's financial resources, if he continues to act so arbitrarily, the whole of Washington may be shrouded in the shadow of a young man in the future.

This is absolutely intolerable.

So, although Simon successfully diverted public attention through a series of operations, after the midterm elections, both parties licked the wounds or inspected the fruits of victory, while contacting each other to discuss how to deal with the Westeros system. Intervention in mid-term elections.

Initiate an investigation.

This is the first thought in the minds of many politicians.

It’s just that it’s easy to investigate and it’s not difficult to find a handle, but what then?

Any investigation will inevitably involve an elected member of the parliament, precisely this operation of Simon Westeros. Although the Democrats dominate, there are some beneficiaries of the Republican Party.

At that time, even if serious election fraud was actually found, Simon Westero could easily find a scapegoat, and one could easily get out without being blinded by the unknowingly. Even if there is solid evidence, who dares to take a federal unprecedented one? Is the $300 billion super rich sent to prison?

Looking at the things Simon Westero does in Rwanda and Italy, this is not at all a mess.

What's more, the young super-rich is not so stupid. Although many operations are suspected of edging, Washington has little evidence of substantial fraud.

The operation of the other party is just to smash money crazy with its own wealth.

Spend money on social surveys to formulate campaign strategies that are accurate to every voter group in each county and county for those who support it. Spend money on organizing a huge'free' volunteer team to support politicians and spend money to tap competitors from small to large Every detail may be black, or even throw money to do charity to accumulate social reputation for supporters.

In fact, many people can think of these methods.

Moreover, as long as you do not go to the truth, it is not too illegal.

The key is that it is too expensive. Only Simon Westero is the only one in the entire Federation.

Like this time, some people in Washington probably roughly estimated that Simon Westero had spent at least US$200 million.This amount of cash, except for Simon Westero, which is worth $300 billion, even Bill Gates, who is second in this year's list because of the continued soaring of Microsoft's stock price, is worth $28 billion.

Bill Gates's $28 billion net worth, more than 90% of which is Microsoft’s stock assets, even in recent years, some funds have been cashed out, but this new super rich does not have that kind of inherent strength to blend this kind of Large-scale political campaign.

After all, Microsoft is just a company.

The Westeros system, like a giant octopus, is already entangled in every aspect of the American economy.

Simon's operation in this mid-term election is not as mature as the long-established National Rifle Association. The gap lies in experience, not strength.

After Bill Gates, other rich people are even more so.

If you rush to spend more than 200 million US dollars in cash to participate in elections, those rich people who still have only a few billion US dollars are likely to be seriously injured.

All in all, this is completely a game that Simon Westero can play alone.

Now, if we pursue it vigorously, we may not be able to compare Simon Westero in the end. In the event of a big trouble, many involved lawmakers may only resign on their own initiative.

This time, the Democratic Party, which has already suffered a great deal of vitality, will never allow this turmoil to happen again.

Republican side.

After all, Washington is one.

Just like the reason why the Kennedy assassination was always covered up, there are not so many mysterious conspiracy theories. One of the important reasons is that neither the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party want to disclose the truth and seriously damage Washington’s hearts in the hearts of the American people. Image.

The same is true of 911 in Simon's memory.

Only Washington politicians are a little sane, and it is impossible for the 911 to be manipulated by the Bush administration as in the conspiracy theory. However, there are many signs that the United States intelligence system has captured a lot of clues before 9/11.However, no one can bear such a major dereliction of duty, so at the end of the incident, all the blame is on Ben.

Therefore, this mid-term election is already a great victory for the Republican Party, and it also does not want to launch an investigation into Simon Westeros, so that the original victory eventually turns into a huge political farce.

So, what now?

Unable to investigate the operation of the Westeros system, many people also thought that they can give some lessons to the young and rich who have passed the star.

This is also a convention.

Because of the blending of the 1992 mid-term elections, Ross Perot has frequently been manipulated by the Republican Party in the past two years. The situation seems to be still on the surface, but the Perot family business has fallen down at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

It's just that the kind of Ross Perot can only be considered a loser in a political game.

Without liquidation, Simon Westero is a standard big winner.

In order to promote some bills, the two chambers of Congress often need to mobilize for the crucial one or two votes. Now, Simon Westero can affect almost one-tenth of the more than 500 members of the Senate and the House of Representatives. This is really so horrible.

Annoying each other because of the suppression of the Westeros system, who knows what this young man will do in the next election?

No one wants to fall into the footsteps of Craig Ames and David Merros.

However, something has to be done anyway.

After hesitating for a few days, on Saturday morning, Washington finally made a move. Simon received an invitation from the White House for a very sound reason. Mr. President wanted to talk to him about the development of the new technology industry.
