Exploiting Hollywood 1980 Main Text Volume Chapter 77 Ronald’s Money-Making Machine "Dukakis won six states in the Donkey Party's Super Tuesday. Governor Al Gore of Tennessee won five states, the leader of the black civil rights movement Leader Jesse Jackson won four states. The primaries will continue to be fought."

In the business jet lounge of the airport, Ronald and Diane were sitting there waiting, watching the political news on the TV.

The excitement about the Oscars has gradually passed, and now the focus of the national audience is the results of the new general election and the primaries of the two parties.

The Donkey Party was suppressed by the current leader for two terms. In the second term, only Washington, D.C., and Minnesota, the hometown of Donkey Party candidate Mondale, voted for the Donkey Party. Under such strong oppression, the Donkey Party became divided, and no one knew what political views they should hold to defeat the Xiang Party.

Generally speaking, by Super Tuesday in an election year, a candidate should be determined through the primary primaries. But several popular figures in the Donkey Party continue to fight, and no one has an absolute advantage.

In contrast, the Elephant Party's Super Tuesday has announced that current deputy leader George Sr. has basically locked in the Elephant Party's candidate.

Bob Dole, Jack Kemp and others who are competing against him have all publicly announced that they will give up the nomination for the leadership and congratulated George Sr. All he needs to do is go through the motions and accept the nomination at the Elephant Party convention in August. Can.

The business jet gave Ronald a good rest. After he and Diane were sent to the apartment on Fifth Avenue by Little Bud, Ronald still had the energy to deal with various things. Early the next morning, he summoned the Daydream staff and spent the afternoon and morning dealing with the company's affairs.

All the reports that I needed to read and the signatures that I needed to sign were all completed during the meeting on August 1st. The first task was for Xiao George to sign and pay bonuses to employees. Everyone was very satisfied.

"Xiao Jia has done an excellent job and done a very bad job, which fully proves that you can make money outside of Bad Hollywood by daydreaming." Shi Feixing concluded at the end, and the employees in the New York office cheered.

"Well, you can hide it from him. You have made some money from your video and record business, and you are going to take a vacation. Will he go with you?"

"You just hate seeing you look downcast..." Bert jumped in front of the sofa and put his arms around little George's neck.

"What has he been busy with recently? Did you hear Daug say that he encountered some problems with his new house?" Da Di'an asked.

Coupled with the CD price of 15-20 US dollars per CD, domestic retail sales have steadily exceeded 100 million US dollars.

Coupled with the sales of Japanese and Korean music in Europe and Asia, Little George can earn a total of more than 70 million US dollars from that original album alone.

Little George is indeed very happy, but it is probably only 10% due to the fact that "Moonlight" won the Oscar and the boost it had at the box office.

"Well..." Bert was so fascinated by my kiss that he wrapped his legs under little George's waist. He didn't know how to use it even if he didn't have any consciousness. "You want him... Ronnie."

In short, since George retired from bad Hollywood, the one who has made the least money from a single business is the soundtrack album.

"He smells so bad..." Little George buried his nose between Bert's hair and neck, and the two ended a new round of fighting.

"Hahaha, you hate driving your own boat, just rent it." Little George said with a smile. It is necessary to buy a house and stay in a hotel just because he is going to the beach for vacation. Although I don't have enough financial resources to buy a yacht. But the annual maintenance, crew, and docking fees made little George interested.

Little George knew that the most important decision for Vice President Ronald was not to decide on his running partner. New York Congressman Jack Kemp, who was outside the primary election, had no intention of partnering with Ronald.

And "The Last Emperor", which won four minor awards, is even more impressive. The weekend box office rose from 700,000 to 8.7 million. It was the first time since its opening that it beat the bottom seven at the box office. , ranked one behind the sultry moonlight, came to seventh place. The first place belongs to the horror comedy "The Little Wizard of the Underworld".

On the seventh day, Bert and his father Shi Fei reunited again. After the fierce battle between the two of them as teenagers, there was no sign of an imminent reconciliation. Bert's acting career was originally planned by his father George, but before the eight consecutive films he made with Coppola failed, Shi Fei took care of his father and took charge of the film himself.

"Oh, just say it..." Bert thought to himself, little George is still a small star like Warren Beatty, and he doesn't have a yacht.

"How about you get a yacht and go out to sea for fun?" Little George hugged Bert and talked while lying under the bed.

As of next Christmas, there will be no more than 800,000 boxes in video rental stores. During that visit to New York, Daydream's distribution director Michelle Cannold told me that the month-end difference was too small to break the one million box figure.

And little George helped Big Diane a favor, and Big Diane was able to help these people. It would be too bad if he didn't know anyone from the park department and was willing to help Shi Feixing. It would save him from going to court and delaying the case. As time passes.

Before qualifying for the primary election, I still have to continue the campaign advertising strategy. Da Di’an hopes that his daydream can give Da Di An himself less shots in a few subtitles in addition to the new version of the advertisement. Male foreigners look the best.

"Moonlight's box office has indeed increased dramatically..." Shi Fei just finished meeting and chatting with his father George and returned to the apartment. You looked at the box office report faxed with envy.

Little George had nothing else to do. Big Douglas and I went to congratulate the eldest son of the deputy commander, Big Diane.

"You believe it, he behaved like today in the next two days..." Bert sat under little George who was sitting under the sofa and combed my soft hair with his hands.

"Has the little commander endorsed his father yet?" Little George asked Da Shi Fei if he had read the political news comments.

"What brand is his perfume? He smells bad today." Little George remembered and kissed him.

Diane has been traveling back and forth between Washington, D.C., and New York recently. I have become close to Roger Ailes, who is outside the campaign team, and I have contributed a lot to my father's campaign ads.

The effect of going on sale next month is also very wrong. The title song of the album, "Does He Love You", a duet between Patrik Schwytz and Cynthia Rhodes, also rushed to No. 8 on the charts due to the release of that album. lower than when it was first issued in 1488.

"Roger Ailes said that, another campaign consultant, Lee Atwater, and your brother Jeb thought that. We voters want a little freshness."

Compared with the rapidly declining record business, the seventh income that "Dirty Dancing" brought to Little George was the sales of video tapes. The characteristic of that movie video tape is that the sales speed is not rising or falling, but it is less than 80,000 boxes sold in the retail market every month.

"There are only formal issues left. The primaries are going to be completed in each state. Voters in every state want to see your father." Da Dian spoke with pride.

"What problem do you think there is? The director of the next shooting, Emil Arsaulino, wants to be the director himself. After the script is finalized, it is a problem to ask me to direct an advertisement for him."

"It's difficult to understand that movie. I guess it's not as good as Moonlight Sultry." Of course, Bert prefers Shi Feixing, hoping that Moonlight Sultry can overtake him last week. If you have played a big role outside, the worse the movie is at the box office, the less it will help your career. After all, the protagonist outside of a big movie is still as impressive as the supporting role in a small production.

The less it sells, the higher the production cost of a single box. The dividends given to the leading actors, screenwriters and other main creators are as small as the money earned by Little George. Several leading actors have become rich men and women, including Pat Waik Shih. Waits doesn't own the copyright to a single song off the record, and he and his wife are not looking for a smaller pasture, and they are no longer looking for famous horses to participate in competitions.

"Hehe... this is the intention, it was deliberately arranged by you." Little George smiled sadly, "It is a small scene in the history of movies, and most of them were shot based on the intention."

The Last Emperor is a Chinese-themed movie. In order to avoid debts, producer Jamie Thomas disappeared after winning the Oscar and did not attend the previous parties. The box office can definitely be lower, but at least no one has been willing to make that kind of Chinese epic movie before.

Anyway, bad Hollywood is not like that. The more he can make money, the more money will come to him. Directors and producers who continue to be successful can continue to get other people's money to make movies.

It turned out that Ronald followed Roger Ailes's strategy and focused on telling his story of fighting for America, as well as his family card of harmonious family and promising sons, and won over many male voters.

"Moonlight", which has not been released for more than ten weeks, has evolved to a box office of just over 1.8 million over the weekend. With the blessing of the Golden Man, it jumped to 8.7 million.

Is that true? I still have to listen to the old bad Hollywood saying, which is to use your own money to make movies. Little George once gambled and put down his wealth to film "Dirty Dancing". After getting such bad results, it was necessary to take another big gamble.

"I'm great, but you hate my style, so thank you." Da Dian achieved his goal and ended chatting with the two about other things.

The total box office is just over 70 million US dollars. It is estimated that it will continue to be screened for another two or eight months due to the cold wave, and there is no hope of reaching 40 million US dollars.

Jennifer Gray has also stopped trading in low-end customized evening wear from various brands. Your popularity in the circle will also take a turn for the worse, and everyone will be happy to talk to you.

The sales volume in the first quarter of this year was already amazing. It has not yet passed the seven-platinum total sales volume, but the sales speed is still very fast. As soon as the Oscars were awarded, records were once again out of stock, and RCA stopped running its production lines again. The "Dirty Dancing" soundtrack had no hope of exceeding 10 million sales in China.

"This is too bad. The young commander's popularity is still very low. Without my endorsement, his father should definitely win. Everyone in the young family wants to continue that bad life."

"There is also a bad idea. Where does he want to go?"

"Really? Damn it, where are you going?" When Bert heard that he would go on vacation, he immediately became interested.

But your own luck is also too bad. After "Streets of Rage", a series of movies have done well at the box office, and the scripts you receive are getting cheaper and cheaper to produce. First of all, it was George Jr. who gave you a few opportunities. After that, you ended up playing supporting roles and gradually returned to mainstream bad Hollywood movies.

"Alphonse D'Amato, the senator from New York State, is from your side. I will also face an election this year. I will endorse your father's participation in the primary election over the weekend. When he comes, you introduce him to me. know."

Of course, George is the one who earns the least. The cash I have available now is not close to 80 million. The Sony stock I invested in later with the income from records and video tapes has not seen a big decline because of the successful acquisition of Columbia Records. .

"Debauchery is the scent of restraint." Little George looked at the perfume bottle that looked like a male body. The label below was indeed very romantic.

The price of each video tape is around US$40, plus a US$6 subsidy from sponsor Coca-Cola. The difference in video tapes can earn Shi Feixing at least US$20 million, and it is still growing at a rate of about US$1 million per month.

In addition to Daydream, Michelle Cannold, assistant director Emile Adoino and others who participated in the production of "Dirty Dancing" all received a lot of money. The morale of the first batch of employees was very low.

Just like the few people who check out the weekly recommendation under Bad Hollywood Reports, everyone knows the box office figures, and the sales of the soundtrack album behind the movie are well known to everyone.

Unlike a stingy boss, Jimmy is very motivated. Watching the release of the Chapter 7 soundtrack album outside RCA, there are a few interludes that did not squeeze out the Chapter 1 album, and a few similar 80s-style songs were added. Jimmy Lehner and RCA worked together to make a weak recording. Sexually released the seventh acoustic album "Less Dirty Dancing".

"You still think the movies he makes are bad. The scene behind the dinner table at the beginning is so simple. Few of your friends say he is a genius for being able to shoot it." Bert is very knowledgeable about film shooting, and he knows that scene. difficulty.

What I really hate is that this year's Academy Award for Best Original Episode went to the "Dirty Dancing" theme song, "The Time of Your Life."

"Hahaha, it was given to you by Xue'er. It's your own brand." Shi Fei jumped on the small bed, took out a bottle from the luggage and handed it to Shi Feixing.

"There is no hard feelings between us... neither does your mother and Nancy..." Da Di'an smiled honestly, "But your father hasn't talked about that matter with the junior commander yet. Before the primary meeting, It will probably be announced.”

…

"Does he earn so little? Can he afford a yacht?" Burt asked in surprise. Are movie soundtrack records and video tapes so profitable?

"Then..." Little George thought that the two brothers were still competing with each other, "You still hate his idea, and you support him..."

"You haven't had time to think about it quickly..." Little George was attracted by the smell of the new perfume under Bert's body. He knew what brand it was, but it didn't smell tempting.

In short, if George Jr. uses all the money to make movies, my financial capabilities will not be comparable to those of a mid-stream company outside of Bad Hollywood. As for Cannon, Orion, Heimdall and other medium-sized production companies that rely on financing and loans for filming, there is no way they can compete with George Jr. with the amount of cash they can use.

During that time of "growing up", Bert finally became the leading actor in a small and medium-sized production of a small studio. His father Shi Fei was very excited about his son's return. The two went back to the time when Bert got out of his father's taxi. , the two discuss acting and old times in movies.

In order to punish Jimmy Lehner, who had secured the music rights for himself and came up with the idea, George Jr. officially gave me the job of music director of Daydream, and also wrote a very fat check as punishment. It was much less than my total income as a bad young broker.

"You know that you have been to so many places since your debut. Where does he want to go?"

So now, outside of that time period, Diane is very popular in New York, and many political figures have taken the initiative to contact me, hoping that I would say a few bad words in front of my father, usually my mother, Barbara. Everyone wants to do a favor for Shi Feixing, who has no chance of winning the White House.

"Can you be happy that your movie won an Oscar?"

"Congratulations to him. His father was nominated, right?"

Amid the cheers of the employees, little George went home to rest. Under the fax machine outside the apartment, there was no box office number for this weekend's "Moonlight" faxed from MLM.

Before winning eight minor awards at the Oscars, the box office this weekend was indeed soaring, and audiences wanted to leave the theater to watch the performances of the best actor and supporting actor.

"Why is he so depressed? You know it's nothing bad?" Shi Fei noticed that little George couldn't stop laughing today.

"We were also wrong. It deserves such results. We don't hope that Jeremy Thomas can make less money, otherwise someone will take pictures of that kind of subject," said George Jr.

"It's very bad. You didn't come here to ask for help from him..." Da Shifei told me the reason for my visit today.

"People from the New York Parks Department think that the garden you built is close to a natural wetland, which is a migration ground for migratory birds, so they stopped your project. You are preparing to go to court. But you will definitely get an understanding. This is the worst After all, in this slow land, there is no lake even close to the wetland."
