Awakened by the phone ringing in the morning, Simon opened his eyes and found Catherine looking at him, with a little confusion and panic in his eyes after he was suddenly awakened.

Simon took the woman in his arms and kissed her on the lips before reaching out to pick up the microphone on the bedside table.

The call was from Pat Kingsley, who was in New York in recent days as Simon's PR manager for the recording of "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson." Kingsley's call was about a gossip that ran today in the Daily News over here in New York.

The Palme d'Or judges move into Westeros Cannes mansion.

The matter of Natasha Kinsky's borrowing from Simon was still uncovered. The Daily News rendered this incident as a lace news in the article, but after thinking about the title a little, it is not difficult to find that the other party The fundamental purpose is to question the fairness of Simon's Palme d'Or.

Simon was not surprised to hear the news.

The competition for the summer season has entered the most intense stage, and more than ten blockbuster new films will be released in recent weeks. Because of the ebb and flow of the box office market, at this time, if you suppress the momentum of your opponent, you will be able to gain more market space.

With the two sticking together, Catherine could naturally hear the conversation between Simon and Kingsley. When Simon hung up the phone, the mood in Catherine's eyes had changed, but she still looked at him fixedly. Obviously, the woman's focus is not on the deeper meaning of the "Daily News" report.

Simon was watched by Catherine, and he had to explain: "I have nothing to do with that woman, and she is already married."

Catherine snorted, got rid of Simon's arms, and said lightly: "This is Jenny's business, and it has nothing to do with me."

Simon smiled and wanted to get close, but was pushed away by Catherine, so he had to ask, "What do you want for breakfast?"

Catherine didn't answer the question, but said, "You are responsible for mending my shirt buttons."

"There seems to be no needle and thread at home. You should wear my clothes," Simon sat up and tried to get up. He found his shirt and gestured towards the woman, saying, "You must look better in a men's shirt."

Catherine reached out and pushed him, dissatisfied: "It will be seen by others."

Regarding the relationship between the two, Simon knew that Catherine was more careful than himself, so he nodded: "Okay, I'll let Neil send some needles and threads later."

After the two had breakfast, Catherine still stayed in the apartment and planned to leave quietly. Simon rushed to the headquarters of Westeros Corporation to discuss with James Raybold the debt-to-equity swap to win New World Entertainment.

On the other hand, the report on the "Daily News" was really just the beginning, and similar news followed from the West Coast. The public relations team of Daenerys Pictures and Orion also began to enter the scene to guide the direction of public opinion.

Under this kind of open and secret struggle, the next day, "Pulp Fiction" was officially released in North American theaters. At the same time, Fox Pictures produced "Flying Beyond the Future" starring Tom Hanks and Warner Bros.'s Chevy Chase. Starring in "Funny Farm".

In addition, the North American box office data for the past week has also been released.

"Crocodile Dundee 2", which has 2,837 screens, earned $30.17 million in the first full week and seven days, easily winning the single-week box office championship. Counting the accumulation of the two days in the previous week, the total box office of the film has reached 34.92 million US dollars.

However, the word-of-mouth of "Crocodile Dundee 2" is in stark contrast to its massive pre-publicity and large-scale opening screen. The North American media has almost one-sided negative comments on the film.

"Variety" magazine commented that "Crocodile Dundee 2" was "too bland as an adventure film and not much laughing as a comedy".

The New York Times film critic took an even sharper view: "The default strategy for most sequels is to take as much as possible from the predecessor and give audiences more of the elements they love, but Crocodile Dundee 2 does the opposite like an idiot. Well, it ditched pretty much everything that was eye-catching in the first part, and it was banal and uninteresting."

Although the media reputation of "First Blood 3" starring Stallone is better than "Crocodile Dundee 2", it is only relatively speaking.

Moreover, with the same large-scale opening screen of 2,562, "First Blood 3", a sequel film with a huge production cost of 63 million US dollars, had box office revenue in the first two days of the film and "Crocodile Dundee 2", but In the first full week, the box office was quickly thrown away by the other party. In seven days, the box office earned 20.17 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office was 24.63 million US dollars.

The third place on the list, "The Storm", dropped only 16% at the box office in the second week, and collected another 9.26 million US dollars. However, due to a weak start, the cumulative box office of "The Storm" in two weeks was only 20.32 million US dollars.

"When Harry Met Sally" still ranked fourth, and continued to make $3.32 million in its 12th week of release, with a cumulative box office of 97.55 million, just one step away from breaking 100 million.

Compared with the previous "Crocodile Dundee 2" and other new films, the three films released on June 3 have a very good reputation.

Tom Hanks' "Over the Future" can be said to be the famous work of the Hollywood superstar, and the original time and space also brought him his first Oscar nomination for best actor. Chevy Chase's "Funny Farm" also received a lot of praise.

However, neither of these two new films was able to fight back in the face of Pulp Fiction, which was destined to go down in the annals of film history.

Cannes Films

Halo of the Palme d'Or.

The popularity of big names such as Robert De Niro, John Travolta, Robert Redford, Madonna, Sean Penn, etc.

Simon has accumulated a huge fan base from "Lola Run".

Super hot topic brought by praise and controversy.

All of these factors make Pulp Fiction one of the most watched films of the summer.

Obviously to curb the momentum of "Pulp Fiction", with the release of the film, some media simply stoked the controversy over Simon's Palme d'Or, unabashedly questioning the possibility of an insider award at the Cannes Film Festival just past.

Faced with these doubts, Cannes officials had to publicly respond again.

The media will naturally not give up easily. Natasha Kinski's borrowing of Simon's mansion was quickly fired as one of the most important insider evidence. Many newspapers followed this and began to pursue it.

Because this incident was linked to the lace news, Natasha Kinski's wealthy Egyptian businessman husband also joined in and personally rushed to Cannes Le Cane to bring his wife home. Natasha Kinski was eccentric and stubborn Kinski is clearly unlikely to give in easily.

The two were already in a state of separation. After being rejected, the wealthy Egyptian businessman felt ashamed and publicly announced that he would divorce Natasha Kinski.

With such a commotion, things suddenly became more lively.

Simon Westeros not only lured the judges to manipulate the awards, but also destroyed other people's families, which is simply unbearable.

only.

The media chasing this matter had no time to concoct more "sharp information", and things suddenly took a 180-degree reversal.

On June 7th, Natasha Kinski, who was besieged by countless tabloid reporters from all over the world, suddenly announced to the reporters that she was not in the process of awarding awards during a shopping trip. Instead of supporting Pulp Fiction, she voted for The Quarantined World.

As soon as the woman's remarks came out, all the media chasing this matter immediately became 'wtf'.

Can this be done? !

The selection of the Cannes Film Festival does not have the same rigorous voting process as the Oscars. Sometimes, if the judges can verbally agree, the attribution of the award can be determined without voting at all. However, this past session started the voting process because of the differences of opinion among the judges.

Natasha Kinski publicly stated that the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival, which was a bit battered by the media bombardment, immediately found the voting card from the archives of the film festival that had just been sealed. Because it is a voting card with her name directly written, and Natasha Kinski's handwriting is also very recognizable, this woman really voted for "Separated World".

Acknowledging this, the relieved Cannes Film Festival organizers immediately published a photocopy of Natasha Kinski's voting card in the newspaper.

The famous Italian director Ito Scola, who served as the judge of the previous main competition unit, also publicly stated later that Natasha Kinski did tend to "Isolated World" during the review and discussion process. In the competition for the Palme d'Or, "Vulgar" The Novel and The Quarantined World won 6 to 4 votes.

The news was announced that even Simon, who had just returned to Los Angeles, was 'wtf' himself.

Sister, I borrowed your house and hired a lot of housekeepers, cooks, servants and drivers for you, and I have to pay the bills. Are you really okay with this?

Janet, who learned about this, laughed so hard that she couldn't stand her waist, and by the way, she despised Simon, a 'tender'.

Although the truth made people laugh and cry, the insider doubts of some media's powerful blows disappeared in an instant.

After such a tear, the attention of "Pulp Fiction" is even higher. Moreover, the one-sided praise of "Pulp Fiction" by most of the North American media and the audience's own word of mouth on the film's quality have also turned things around very completely.

In the hustle and bustle, June 10, another week of the summer season has passed.

The release of old and new films from June 3 to June 9 boosted the North American box office total for the week to $92.67 million. Compared with the previous week from May 27 to June 2, the total box office in North America in a single week was only 73.87 million US dollars.

The high-profile "Pulp Fiction" took the top spot on the North American box office charts for the new week without any suspense. With a screen size of 1,569 pieces, the box office in the first week was US$27.53 million.

Although it failed to reach the $30.17 million level of "Crocodile Dundee 2" last week, no one would doubt the strength of "Pulp Fiction".

After all, "Crocodile Dundee 2" has 2,837 screens, while "Pulp Fiction" has only 1,569 screens. On average, "Crocodile Dundee 2" reached $10,636 last week, while "Pulp Fiction" was as high as $17,546.

What's more, "Crocodile Dundee 2" only had a competitor to "First Blood 3" last week, and perhaps reluctantly added another "Ground of the Wind" which was sluggish at the box office. But this week, Pulp Fiction was scrambling with four other films, "Flying Beyond," "Funny Farm," "Crocodile Dundee 2," and "First Blood 3."

After "Pulp Fiction", "Crocodile Dundee 2" fell by 41% compared to last week's box office due to poor word of mouth and large-scale openings to over-extract market potential, with a box office of only $17.87 million.

But even so, the opening scale of more than 2,800 screens allowed the film's North American box office to easily exceed the $50 million mark.

At No. 3 on the list is Fox's "Flying the Future," which grossed $12.59 million in its first week. Because Fox

The film industry has only arranged 1,132 opening screens for this new film. This single-week box-office report with an average of more than 10,000 US dollars is not bad.

In Simon's memory, "Flying Over the Future" has achieved a breakthrough of 100 million in North America. If it hadn't changed in history, "Flying Over the Future" would have a very good box office curve next.

Stallone's "First Blood 3" ranked fourth, with an even worse box office drop than "Crocodile Dundee 2", reaching 47%. According to this decline curve, the total North American box office of "First Blood 3" is likely to be unable to reach the production cost of 63 million US dollars.

Chevy Chase's "Funny Farm" came in at No. 5 with $8.11 million in its opening week.

"Funny Farm" has an opening screen equivalent of 1,557 to "Pulp Fiction", but the first week of a single exhibition is only over $5,000, less than one-third of "Pulp Fiction". Warner Bros. Pictures' first film of the summer was no doubt a dud.

With an opening of $8.11 million, even if the next decline curve is relatively good, it is difficult for the total North American box office to be very high.

Outside of the top five, the sixth-place "The Storm" continued to make $7.08 million in its third week of release, with a cumulative box office of $27.4 million.

Immediately after.

The seventh-ranked "When Harry Met Sally" received another $2.66 million at the box office. This 13-week-old film finally broke the $100 million box office mark in the expectation of many people, with a total box office of 1. 210,000,000 US dollars, officially became the first North American box office film in 1988 to exceed 100 million US dollars.

In the discussion that "When Harry Met Sally" exceeded 100 million at the North American box office, some media suddenly discovered that Daenerys Pictures successfully completed a box office relay.

"Pulp Fiction" received $27.53 million at the box office in its first week of production. The film's reputation, cast and popularity are impeccable, and no one doubts that it can easily break through the threshold of 100 million at the North American box office.

You must know that the box office of "When Harry Met Sally" was only $17.81 million in the first week after it was released, and the first week of "Pulp Fiction" almost surpassed "When Harry Met Sally" by a full $10 million.

The two films have exceeded 100 million at the North American box office, which is already the same as Simon Westeros last year.

In 1987, "Lola Run" and "Butterfly Effect" related to Simon both achieved good results in the North American box office of over 100 million.

only.

It's not even halfway through 1988, and Simon Westeros has already tied the box office record he achieved last year. So, what's next?

"Pulp Fiction" succeeds "When Harry Met Sally" and continues to sprint to over 100 million at the North American box office. In the middle of next month, will the same be true for "Instinct", also written by Simon himself?

After "Instinct", Daenerys Pictures announced the production list including "Scream", "Rain Man", "Dead Poets Society", "Steel Magnolia" and so on.

Although in the eyes of many people these films are not much sold, however, Simon Westeros has created too many miracles.

Dare to imagine if these films continued to be relayed…

Gee!
