Hollywood Hunter

When the time came to March 7, another box office week from March 1 to March 7 passed, North American film history ushered in a new historical moment.

The 11th week of "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" officially broke the local box office at US$600 million, becoming the first movie in Hollywood history to exceed US$600 million at the box office, and also the first to break through 6 in the single film market. 100 million dollar box office movie.

The North American media and the majority of fans have been boiling for a time.

On the Internet platform, the number '600M' can be seen everywhere on this day, and various large and small websites are competing to report this entertainment event.

And whether "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" can be further speculated.

Because at the box office week from March 1 to March 7, while the local box office exceeded 600 million US dollars, the single-week box office of the Super Bat Wars had only 11.56 million US dollars left.If it is a general commercial movie, even a blockbuster blockbuster like the "Jurassic Park" series, the single-week box office slipped to the $10 million range, and it is unlikely to receive another 100 million anyway in the future.

The phenomenal attributes of the Super Bat Battle are of course different.

What's more, Oscar is coming soon.

Although the Super Bat Wars did not declare the Golden Globe Awards held in January, this award season also belongs to various trade union awards or other media sponsored awards of the Oscar pre-rewards. During this time, the Super Bat Wars has been quite rewarding, and in turn. Continue to stimulate the heat of this movie.

Therefore, no matter from the perspective of media or public relations, there is no suspense in the super bat to become the big winner of this Oscar.

The first local film in North American film history to break through US$600 million and even further reach US$700 million, so you can say that you are not eligible for an Oscar?

Oscar never stipulates that commercial films cannot be awarded.

In fact, Oscar is going to the extreme of literary and artistic direction and political correctness, but it is a matter of the next decade or two.Before the millennium, Oscar was very inclusive, not to mention the original "Titanic" in space and time, and then on, "Forrest Gump", and even "Rocky", "Out of Africa", and "Field War" "Pai" and so on, first of all are very popular commercial movies.

Not to mention the huge benefits involved in this movie.

It’s not just the local that broke through 600 million and went straight to 700 million. Overseas, in the past two months, the Super Bat War has come to the fore. In many countries and regions, in order to protect the local film market, it has been too slow to let this movie be released. The overseas box office of "Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice", according to last week's statistics, has reached 870 million US dollars.

It is conceivable that once the Super Bat Wars gets an Oscar and is further promoted by overseas distribution, this DC superhero blockbuster is only for overseas markets, and it is expected that the box office will not be less than 1 billion US dollars.

Such a project, who dares to be a stubborn from it, since then the lightest don't want to mix in Hollywood.

To put it more seriously, the scale of billions of profits, if you delay others to make money, it is not impossible for you to kill yourself in a car accident.

Benefits drive everything.

Therefore, although there is only 11.56 million US dollars left at the box office in a single week, the super-bat battle has hit 700 million local people. It is already the same goal of all parties, media, fans, etc. Even if you buy the box office quietly, it will be considered. Satisfactory.

Under the shining of Super Bat War, this week, the "Peak Hour" produced by Daenerys Entertainment's New World Pictures released a total of more than 100 million at the box office during the four weeks, at least on the media and the public side, it seems less conspicuous.

"February Hour", which was released on Valentine's Day on February 9th, had exceeded the expected box office of US$ 42.83 million in the first week, and the box office fell by more than 30% in the next and third weeks. Obviously, it was far from the strength of the super bat.However, four weeks after its release, the film also reached a total of 10.16 million US dollars with a single-week box office of 14.38 million US dollars last week, successfully crossing the threshold of 100 million yuan clubs.

The outside world does not seem to care so much, but Hollywood circles do not rely on it.

The Super Bat War has not ended. Last year, the local thanksgiving file accumulated to $256 million. "Beauty and the Beast" has just been completely painted recently. "Peak Hour" has already been filed. This is really not alive.

It’s just that three years ago, five years ago, or more, if Daenerys Entertainment was so strong, other Hollywood studios would definitely unite, you won’t make me feel better, and of course I won’t make you feel better. At that time, if several studios joined forces, even if they could not completely kill Daenerys Entertainment, it would definitely let Simon Westero know who had the final say in Hollywood.

Now, everything is late.

Hollywood is still the seventh largest. However, in addition to Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner Group, two other "roots are red", Colombia was directly digested by Sony, Disney became French, and Paramount was capitalized by Canada. Buy, Fox and MGM, in fact, are actually Australian capital.

Time Warner and Daenerys couldn't turn their heads in a pair of pants.

Fox and MGM are similar.

There are three remaining. Okay, the Japanese, French and Canadians united to deal with an American company in the United States. Who would agree?

What's more, Daenerys Entertainment is still backed by the Westeros system that controls trillions of dollars in assets.

This is even more terrifying.

Unless Daenerys entertains herself in a serious mistake, it is simply unassailable.

Therefore, don't say bad tricks to suppress Daenerys entertainment, Simon Westeros does not do it the other way around, everyone will already thank God.

The only other major studios can do now is to make as many excellent movies as possible and let the market speak.

However, this is really not an easy task.

Many studio executives watched their company's bleak film business, and even gave birth to the idea of ​​retreating.

Malibu, Daenerys Studios.

The time is March 8.

Simon arrived at the company at 8 o'clock in the morning and handled various documents for an hour. Then he discussed the late stage of the project with the team of "Perky Jiaowa" who had officially completed the end of the year, and participated in the production meeting of "Independence Day". Finally, he and Amy · A meeting with several senior executives, such as Pascal, to discuss the design of Universal Studios in Italy. It was already noon without knowing the time.

At the end of the meeting, Simon and Amy walked out of the meeting room and said: "Next month's trip to China, Jeff of Igerett, Chambers of Cisco and Raymond of Verizon will join me. In the past, you should know Daenerys. I’m sure it’s Ella. It’s not necessary without you. Although Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice has become China’s first home-grown 100 million RMB Movies, but the entertainment industry over there, you know, maybe it will be difficult to make a trip in the next ten years."

Amy smiled and listened to Simon, and nodded, "Boss, I understand, I really only need Ella to go."

Ella Doichman is in charge of Gaomen Pictures, mainly in literary and artistic films. At this stage, the film and television industry in China is basically focused on winning awards overseas. In recent years, Gaomen Pictures is responsible for A lot of Chinese movies were released, and it was just right for Deichman to accompany him.

In the last few days, through the communication between Chen Qing and the Westero team with Chinese officials, Simon's trip to China was completely finalized.

It is mainly an official formation.

April 22 and April 23.

Visit Beijing.

Apart from the official itinerary, how long Simon will stay in China, it is not so important where to go.

At the invitation of China, and at the same time due to the expansion of the Westeros system in China, Simon will lead a very large line-up of visiting teams this time, including Jeff Bezos of Igret and John of Cisco. Chambers, Verizon’s Raymond Smith, Highgate Pictures’ Ella Deutschman, Cersei Capital’s Apollo Management Company’s Leon Black, and Levison Group’s Francis Levi Mori and so on.

Including Australia, Janet’s eldest brother, who has completely succeeded from the old man and became the head of Johnston Holdings and BHP Billiton, Anthony Johnston will also pass together.

All these people are selected purposefully.

Mainly for the further development of the Westeros system in China's technology, finance, steel, real estate and other fields.

It's no good to have such a publicity, Simon certainly won't do it.

At first, Simon only planned to take a second private trip, but later agreed to the official invitation, and initially only planned to bring Janet to the past to eat, drink and have fun.If you just show your face in public, China has actually achieved its goal, but the effect is still not obvious enough, so I hope Simon can bring some high-level officials of the Westeros system.

In this case, the influence of this visit can definitely rise several steps.

Even though the economy has recovered rapidly in recent years, and even after a series of reforms, China’s overall demand for foreign investment is still hungry. The severe inflation in the past few years has made the official realize that it is impossible to start the printing press. It is best to introduce foreign capital.

However, since 1978, for nearly 20 years, despite reform and opening up, China's economic policy changes have been somewhat erratic, which has caused most foreign investors to have various concerns about investing in China.Although the intensity of foreign investment in China has increased in recent years, it is still the capital of Southeast Asia as a whole, mainly Chinese capital that still has a lot of affection for China.

Of course these are not enough.

In terms of capital, European and American capital is the key. However, apart from the Westeros system's vigorous expansion into China in recent years, the capital of all parties in Europe and the United States is the most important.

Therefore, if Simon Westero can lead senior officials of the entire Westero system to visit China, this embarrassing situation can be fully opened immediately.

Obviously, Simon Westero is optimistic about China. Are you stupid if you do not follow up?

Therefore, in order to facilitate this large-scale visit to the Westeros system, the Chinese side can be described as full of sincerity, and gave a "big gift package" with a total value of more than 10 billion yuan, including telecommunications, finance, real estate, steel, etc. Cooperation in several areas, these originally relatively closed industries, foreign capitals want to enter in the past, perhaps not impossible, but the difficulty is very large, this time can be described as a special special task.

Plus, after all, Simon's bones did not lack feelings for the land on the other side of the ocean, and after some consideration, he agreed to come down.

These days, Chen Qing’s work there is actually just coordinating Simon’s private travel and staying. In fact, it is only equivalent to Simon’s personal butler. The real business cooperation is Westeros and other subsidiaries with China. Contact.

North America, of course, the Westeros system will not wait.

As the world’s first trillion-dollar super rich, Simon’s every move will affect too many things, not to mention, although the relationship between China and the United States these years is very harmonious on the surface, it is actually stumbling, compared with the Bush family. With regard to China, Clinton is a true black-bellied master.

In order to ensure that no embarrassing events will occur during this visit, the Westeros system has also conducted various consultations with Washington.

Any mess in the arms sales will stop for me.

In recent months, no matter whether it is the White House or the Congress, no one will make any discordant remarks, otherwise, wait for us to settle the accounts after the autumn.

In addition, Simon also invited some senior Washington officials to go with him. It was clear that someone was the largest private owner of the White House and even the Democratic Party. Clinton gave very positive feedback. He also called Simon personally and recommended the Minister of Commerce to accompany him. .

Of course, there must still be a position.

Some agreements in this regard are not humane.

In the office building of Daenerys Studios in Malibu, Amy certainly understands Simon’s consideration of taking Ella with her this time. Even if Simon says nothing, she will not have any problems. The boss personally explained a few words to her, which made Amy more aware of the importance her boss attached to herself.

The two entered the elevator with a smile, Amy and others were going to dine, and Simon was returning to Dumei Point Estate.

Anthony Johnston came over today and made an appointment to have lunch at home, and Simon would not come to work again in the afternoon.

Back home, Anthony Johnston was talking with Janet by the glass curtain wall of the Shell Villa, holding Nick in his arms, a thumb was still bitten by the little guy, Anthony was not angry, just Smiling and teasing.

Seeing Simon's return, Anthony handed the child to a waitress next to her and got up to hug Simon.

After Janet waited for the two to greet each other, she smiled and said, "Let's talk, let me see how the lunch is prepared."

Said to leave with the people around.

Simon and Anthony sat down on the sofa together. Anthony picked up a silver suitcase that had just been placed at his feet and said, "This is what you want. Our people bought three experts from the Southern Ukraine Design Bureau. The information including rockets, nuclear energy, satellites, etc. are all in it. There are more than 2,000 copies in total. Oh, I don’t understand it anyway. However, it must be true. My dad personally found some people for identification."

Simon pulled the box over and heard Anthony say the code again, so he opened it.

More than 2,000 copies of cutting-edge technology materials, if it is made of paper, of course, a suitcase can not fit, the contents are very complicated, film, CD-ROM, hard drive are not lacking.

Of course Simon couldn't understand it, just opened it and looked at it again, then locked it again and looked up and asked Anthony, "What about people?"

Anthony said: "This is a bit more troublesome. I will immigrate to Australia after a period of time. You can rest assured that Ukraine needs to check, first of all, only to the Russian side, not to mention the current state of Ukraine, and the Westeros system. Even if the influence is discovered, no one has the energy to investigate such a rotten country. In fact, many people are doing this, not just our family."

Simon nodded, knowing that this was the truth.

Of course, these are still for Simon's recent plans. If you want to steal information from Russia, Simon will definitely not do this. Although Russia is now in a mess, it has its roots.

Ukraine.

No worries at all.

Anthony saw that Simon put the box aside, and did not continue this topic too much. Before the implementation of the plan, Simon had explained that whether it was an old man or Anthony, although the plan was a bit large, but the overall approval, Anthony said at this time Another thing: "Before, before coming, my dad talked about your trip to China next month. He felt that he was a little under-considered."
