Hollywood Hunter

The next morning, I woke up in the private garden deep in Taohuawu. I drank alcohol last night, but my body was so good that I didn't feel any discomfort.

This is a bedroom on the second floor of a small building. There is a small window next to the big bed.

Lying on the window sill and looking out, the eaves of the building are flying, and the green curtain and wind curtain are just the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. However, Chen Qing suddenly thought of another word: how deep is the courtyard.

Then I feel that if my boss is here, I will definitely feel more emotional.

Speaking of it, Chen Qing can feel that her boss actually likes to come to China, but she also restrains herself from coming to China often.

Thinking about it in private, it's probably because of his status and position. After all, the position of a man receives too much attention, either overt or covert, and it's easy to affect his whole body.

After a brief daze, he quickly got up and started a new day.

Sitting at the dining table, while eating breakfast, Jiang Shanwu talked about one thing. Over there in Hangzhou, the boss saw an auction advertisement by chance when he was reading the newspaper last time. The Overseas Chinese Hotel by the West Lake has already been taken down.

Lin Su sent a message to ask how to deal with it?

Explain something.

As the operation of Jinshu Film and Television City is getting more and more on the right track, Jinshu Hotel and Catering Company under Jinshu Film and Television Tourism Development Group has also become quite large in recent years, operating a number of hotels of different grades in the Jinshu Film and Television City area from high to low. Have a quite mature team.

So the plan is to draw people from here, first clean up the hotel from top to bottom, confirm what is wrong, and then gradually bring it back on track.

To be honest, in Chen Qing's opinion, it is not easy for a hotel in such a prime location by the West Lake to operate continuously for so many years.

But of course it's understandable.

In the past here, some things still have to continue, but some things are dispensable, as long as they are eliminated, it will not be too difficult to make money.

What's more, according to the owner's thinking, the hotel was won largely not for making money from the hotel itself, but the land owned by the hotel.

Real estate.

Occasionally thinking about the huge layout of her boss in China's real estate industry, Chen Qing dare not think deeply, because she always thinks of Japan.

I have done a lot of research in private.

The development of the real estate industry can indeed stimulate the development of the economy to a large extent, but once it is overly dependent, it is not easy to get rid of it.

Then stop thinking about it.

Can you manage so much in the future? What's more, she couldn't manage it.

After breakfast, I went to see the girl in the morning.

The more resources you have, the easier it is to find beautiful girls, and gradually you get into the habit, after all, your boss obviously likes them very much. Moreover, for the girls, it is also an opportunity: Do you want to immigrate?

These days, ninety out of one hundred must be thinking about it.

Think about it all.

However, Chen Qing didn't guarantee it.

It is certain that you will be allowed to go abroad, but whether you can immigrate depends on luck, such as whether you can win the favor of your own boss?

After another busy day, I flew to Seoul the next day.

I discussed with my boss Clinton's visit to Vietnam in August, and this time I will go to South Korea to further coordinate some planned investment projects.

After the private plane took off, Chen Qing remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something in the past few days after returning to Suzhou.

But be it.

Next time, next time.

Olivia Fuji Chen Westeros: My own mother? !

...

In the midst of everyone's busy schedule, another box office week in July is coming to an end soon.

The first is mainland China. From July 14th to July 20th, in the second week of its release, it received another 187 million yuan at the box office. Including the 236 million yuan in the first week, the total box office exceeded 400 million yuan. Mark, with a total of 423 million yuan, topped the box office champion of mainland China's film history in one fell swoop.

There was joy.

It can be said that the release of the film in July 2000 has become a small event in China. Even though the film has broken the film and television records, everyone is still paying close attention to the fact that the film's box office has broken through 5 The 100 million mark, the moment when the record was raised again by a large margin.

Meanwhile, across the ocean.

And it was released on the same day, with an unsatisfactory comprehensive media score of 6.9 points, but relying on the popularity of almost word of mouth, after winning the largest opening box office of this summer in the first week, the box office fell considerably in the second week The control was 37%, and another $60.65 million was collected.

The cumulative box office of the film thus reached 156.93 million US dollars.

There is no suspense about 200 million. 250 million is the goal of the next stage. As for 300 million, it is still not too extravagant.

However, even if the final box office of the film is around 250 million U.S. dollars, it is already a great success. After that, Zach Schneider easily advanced to the ranks of first-line directors with this film.

Daenerys's film was the usual three-part appointment.

One left.

In the face of other studios wooing Zach Schneider, Simon is not in a hurry.

The main reason is that Zach Schneider's skills are beyond doubt, but his shortcomings are also obvious. Of course, this director has only made two films this time, and both of them have achieved considerable success, and others have not discovered his shortcomings.

Simon is clear.

Simply put, it is Zha

K. Schneider's narrative ability in movies is very weak, which is why he is better at projects with or comic book story bases, but even with story bases, they often get out of control and go astray. Perhaps for die-hard comic fans, I wish Zach Snyder would shoot the story for more than three hours every time, or even ten hours. However, on a commercial level, this is definitely not going to work.

For theater movies, three hours is already the limit, and two hours is the best choice.

The director just lacked the commercial ability to compress the story into two hours and finish it neatly, which inevitably caused conflicts with the studio before.

Then again, whether it was once or this time, Zack Snyder's first two films were actually well controlled within two hours, so why did they get out of control frequently afterwards?

very simple.

The coffee position is high, the right to speak is strong, and then I can't help but play freely.

This is why Simon has always insisted that film creators must be subject to sufficient constraints, no matter how high the rank is, they cannot mess around. Instead, a certain compromise needs to be made between the personal creative concept and the commercial needs of the studio, otherwise, the result is often one disaster after another.

For example, later on, a certain Fei who always used to say that we don’t care about anything other than money, spent a lot of money, but from Bang Bang to Schneider, one by one, one by one, all kinds of hi, the result was a lot of money. What kind of crap is there?

Then came the gradual catch-up of traditional studios.

The reason why traditional studios can catch up in the field of streaming media is very simple. They have a large number of classic works that have passed the box office or ratings test. of.

The names of big directors are not that attractive, and it would be even more counterproductive to spend money and let them make bad movies.

In short, since other studios have all kinds of olive branches, Simon is very happy to let Zack Snyder go out for a while. With the confidence of his two consecutive movies, he must have the right to control. As for the extent of the release, It depends on God's will.

What if it succeeds again?

It's also not a big problem, after all, there is still a film appointment at my house, and I will come back to shoot sooner or later. Even if he never comes back, Simon has enough talent reserves in his pocket.

While unexpectedly maintaining a good trend in the second week of its release, another new film released by Daenerys did not perform as expected.

With an ultra-low cost of US$7 million, the first film earned US$123 million at the box office in North America. Although it was not satisfactory overseas, the global box office eventually reached US$170 million, which can be called a dark horse.

For this sequel, Daenerys once again invited Steven Soderbergh to direct, and the production cost more than doubled to $15 million. However, the painting started on July 14, and in a week, it only earned 26.28 million. dollar box office.

Compared with the production cost, 26.28 million US dollars is certainly not low. However, this is not even as good as the 27.32 million US dollars in the first week of the first part.

Not only that, but the first film was completely a dark horse. Even if it didn't reach tens of millions in the first week, it finally won a box office of 123 million US dollars with a good box office curve. This time, relying on the accumulated popularity of the first film and the sufficient publicity before its release, the New World Pictures team in charge of this project predicts that the film needs to reach about 40 million in the first week to ensure that the sequel will still exceed 100 million.

26.28 million US dollars, obviously far below the 40 million expectations.

According to this opening, the final North American box office will fall around 60 million.

Of course, it is still a good result, but it is inevitably regrettable.

Because the box office gap is too large, even without Simon's strategy of delaying the development of sequels, it would be difficult to start the third part.

July 21, another Friday.

The new box office week is open, and Daenerys' new film this week is .

This adaptation based on real events is much more popular than one of the previous "L.A. Quartet". After its success, the project was successfully approved and continued to be directed by Brian De Palma .

Speaking of which, there was once a version directed by Palma, with Scarlett Johansson participating, but it turned out to be a box office disaster.

Simon still chose Palma this time, and he was not affected by his previous memories. It was also because of the previous version, which was originally a mess accepted by Palma. At the beginning, the project was brewed by David Fincher, and it turned out that A director wanted to make the film into a black-and-white film. Of course, the studio disagreed. After a long time of arguing, it finally fell on Palmer. As you wish.

This time, Simon tailored the script according to Palma's personal style from the very beginning, combined with the version he had remembered, and learned from each other's strengths, and the result was satisfactory.

The premiere ceremony was held two days in advance, and the word-of-mouth ban was lifted. Even if it is not as good as before, the comprehensive media score has reached 7.8 points. For a murder-type crime thriller, this is already a considerable achievement. Among them, Simon's remake Mia Kirschner's video tape performance in the 06 version has attracted frequent attention from film critics, who think that just with this performance, Mia Kirschner can get another Oscar nomination for supporting actress .

Therefore, all parties have considerable confidence in the continued commercial success.

...

The following weekend, after July 21, the Simons were in Atlantic City on the East Coast.

The 2000 elite world elite model contest finals, time is July 22

On the same Saturday, out of the consideration of publicity for the many casinos in Atlantic City that belong to the Westeros system, they chose to hold it here again.

Simon, of course, did not attend the finals scene.

After all, when he went, everyone in the audience was looking at him. It's not kind to be a big man to steal the limelight from a group of little girls.

Just attended the after party after the finals.

History is constantly disturbed by Simon, the big butterfly. On similar occasions, there are fewer and fewer familiar faces. However, this time there are still two, one from Australia, the famous Miranda Kerr, and the other A famous baby-faced supermodel from Canada, Jessica Stein.

In fact, it is not too accidental.

Both of them were accidentally discovered by Simon when he was looking through the list of elite contestants. Then, he was such a big behind-the-scenes manipulator, and it was easy for him to entrust two girls to the top.

However, the two women only entered the finals.

In the end, no awards were won.

This is not a deliberate arrangement by Simon. After all, the model competition has its own set of fixed procedures. Simon can pick out the two girls, and the follow-up will depend on their fate and let nature take its course.

Speaking of it, the experience of the two models can be described as very different.

They are all baby-faced types. Miranda Kerr is definitely a winner in life. Even after several marriages, with children, she can still marry a billionaire who is 7 years younger than herself. The other one, Jessica Stan, was originally very high. .

The two girls, one is 17 years old and the other is 14 years old this year, both of them are good models. Asxs. I don't know what their life opportunities will be this time, and how far they can go?

Anyway, as we all know, Simon is a tycoon who is willing to help others, the kind of lamp god.

Therefore, after Saturday's final, Simon invited a group of finalists including Miranda Kerr and Jessica Stan to fly to his private manor in the Bahamas for vacation the next day. Water onion life experience.
