As of the past weekend, "Golden Eye of 007" had a cumulative box office of $71.86 million in four and a half weeks.

Considering that the end of next week's schedule will end, and the film's box office has slipped to a low of $5.06 million last weekend, the total North American box office of this sequel to the classic spy series is expected to hardly exceed $90 million.

This kind of achievement is more than enough compared to the last film "007: License to Kill". However, comparing the film's production budget of US$50 million and the publicity cost of US$20 million, the North American box office of less than US$90 million is expected. Overseas, according to the global calculation of about 200 million US dollars, the entire project has just recovered.

For a classic IP with greater potential to be tapped, such a result is definitely not what Simon wants.

The 007 series reset was Simon's plan before this "Golden Eye of 007".

It's just that Simon didn't fully control MGM at the beginning, so he didn't force this matter.

After Johnston became MGM's largest shareholder, it was actually equivalent to Simon controlling the company. After all, Johnston's family didn't have the energy to manage Hollywood's business, so he agreed to buy MGM May's shares, mainly Simon's request.

If it weren't for antitrust considerations, Simon would be more than happy to buy the stake.

After buying the equity, the old man also made a statement. The affairs here are left to Simon, and the Australian side does not intend to intervene too much.

On the other hand, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the 007 series, which has been using the Soviet Union as an imaginary enemy for 30 years, must also make changes in the plot.

During the Cold War years, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union has always been a very popular theme in Hollywood. In addition to the 007 series, last year's blockbuster "The Hunt for Red October" was like this.

However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States has become the only superpower in the world, and then confronting the Soviet Union on the big screen, it is difficult to resonate too much with the audience.

In Simon's memory, the famous supermodel Cindy Crawford tried to enter Hollywood's big screen work "Fair Game", telling a story about a KGB agent. However, it was 1995 and the Soviet Union was long gone, so the ill-timed film ended up being a box-office flop.

The new version of "Golden Eye of 007", which is still being released, has changed a lot because of the four-year advance, but the core is still not out of the rut of fighting against the evil Soviet Union.

The 007 series can be said to be one of the earliest long-term blockbuster series. It is precisely because each one involves many scenes of beautiful cars and beauties, which has always attracted audiences.

However, as more and more blockbuster films appear, the 007 series continues to follow the original route, and it is destined to become more and more unpleasant, and may even be abandoned by the audience in the end.

All in all, change is necessary.

Since the copyright of Spectre was still secured before "Golden Eye of 007", Simon plans to create a coherent reboot series around Spectre according to the Daniel Craig version in memory.

Want to do this, the first is to fight for more control of the 007 series.

After the birth of the 007 series, the copyright has changed several times. Now it is basically shared by the United American company under MGM and the Brockley family in the United Kingdom. Unless both parties agree, no one can start the production of the film alone.

In the original time and space, because of the decline of MGM, the 007 series basically belonged to MGM's death-defying works. Even if each film could not make a lot of money, the cash flow it brought was enough to barely maintain MGM. For this reason, MGM had to give up the initiative on too many projects and let the Bullockley family run the series entirely.

Now, now that he has MGM in his hands, Simon certainly won't let this continue.

The big deal is to put it on hold.

Simon has enough IP resources in his hands, even without 007, MGM's recovery can be expected.

In comparison, the Brockley family has only the 'gold mine' of 007. If this gold mine cannot be mined, the Brockley family will also be unsustainable.

C-girl Claire Gein came to Los Angeles to attend the Westeros New Year's Eve party that will be held at Daenerys Studios tonight. Of course, because it is scattered on the east and west coasts, it is mainly on the west coast. Company executives will be in attendance tonight.

Unlike other executives, Claire was able to come to visit Simon ahead of time because of her previous status.

After Shirley Lansing left, Claire also took out of her bag the first icam that Tinkerbell was developing and gave it to Simon.

Leaving the little guy to take care of Deborah, Simon played with the second-generation prototype, which was significantly smaller than the first-generation. Compared with the first-generation 3.5-inch floppy disk, this prototype can only use a smaller 2.5-inch floppy disk. inch floppy disk.

Claire watched Simon play and said, "This is just an alternative to the second-generation machine. Neither Neal nor I have decided whether to replace the 3.5-inch floppy disk with a 2.5-inch."

"I suggest you do this. Pocketization is an inevitable trend. The smaller the size of this compact camera, the easier it is to carry around, and the easier it is to promote." Simon asked Deborah to pick up the little guy and lift the camera at will. A picture, he continued to play with it, and said, "Actually, if you can really make a digital camera a 'card', it will be considered the ultimate."

The current card camera is not to say that the camera itself is like a card, but just a concept relative to more professional SLR cameras.

The first generation of icam, the actual size is like a small dictionary.

Even the second-generation prototype in Simon's hands seems to be about 15cm*10cm*5cm in size, which is still bigger and bloated than the card camera in Simon's memory.

Claire has accumulated enough professional knowledge. After listening to Simon, he thought about it and said: "If you want to make a real card, floppy disk storage will definitely not work, you may need to use the latest flash media. In addition, sensors, The battery is a big problem, as well as the operation, if it really becomes a card, the existing physical buttons also need to be replaced.”

Simon listened to the C girl's thoughts and said with a smile: "According to Moore's Law, electronic components will become more and more integrated in the future, and their functions will be more powerful, so it is feasible for electronic products to be extremely miniaturized, I am not letting you. Have you applied for a lot of 'i' series trademarks, these will be useful in the future."

Claire recalled the trademarks such as iplayer and iphone held by Tincobair in addition to icam. It seemed that the owner had thought about it a long way from the very beginning.

However, her current mind is to do a good job of icam first. In the past few months, icam has been determined to have sufficient market capacity. The continuous explosive growth of the Internet industry is still improving the business prospects of icam. In the short term, she will be satisfied as long as this product is done well and has a firm foothold in this fiercely competitive market where more and more established manufacturers are joining.

Although he does have a big plan, Simon has no intention of promoting the seedlings.

Continue chatting some details with Claire, and before you know it, it is already lunch time.

Although she was invited by Simon to dine together, and watching the sisters in the past come and go in the kitchen and dining room, Claire still didn't feel embarrassed to sit with the Simon and his wife.

She also understood that doing so would be too annoying.

After diligently helping to arrange the lunch, Claire made an excuse to run to the small restaurant where the maids ate.

The New Year's Eve party in the evening starts at 7 o'clock, and the location is still in the activity center on the second floor of Daenerys Studios.

In addition to the executives of the Westeros system, politicians and celebrities from all walks of life in Los Angeles were invited to attend. Just after 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the two entrances to the north and south of the studio seemed to be full of traffic.

Unconsciously, many people have discovered that in Hollywood now, only Daenerys Entertainment has enough strength and appeal to hold such a grand New Year's Eve event.

As 1991 is about to pass, Hollywood seems to be thriving, and most of the glory is created by Daenerys Entertainment.

This is evident just by referring to the North American movie box office list in 1991.

Temporarily ranked in the top ten films of the annual box office list, "Batman: The Dark Knight", "Terminator 2", "Desperados", "Robin Hood", "Toy Story", "The Flash", "Silent" Lamb, "Urban Hillbilly", "Fighting Wisdom", "A Few Good Men", etc., except Warner Bros. Pictures' Robin Hood and Columbia Pictures' "City Hillbilly", the other eight films, four of which are Danny Liz Entertainment has collaborated with other studios, three are Daenerys Entertainment's own productions, and the last "The Flash", Simon Westeros also takes the lead on the project, and This enjoys a 10% North American box office share of the project.

Because Simon's participation in "The Flash" is not too high, before the film was released, other factions within Time Warner also raised objections, thinking that Simon did too little and took too much, and hoped to give up this project in the next project. an unfair contract.

When "The Flash" opened and was expected to break through the $250 million box office in North America, it meant that Simon could easily take $25 million, but as a result, no one raised any objections.

After all, no one in Hollywood can secure a project pipeline of $250 million at the box office.

Moreover, judging from the box office feedback from the overseas market that has already opened, the overseas box office of "The Flash" is expected to reach 400 million US dollars, which at least ensures the film's global box office of 600 million US dollars.

Even if it cannot be compared with the "Batman" series, even if a huge investment of 1.2 US dollars is invested, the global box office of 600 million US dollars, including the peripheral sales income in the same period and the income from various channels in the later period, is enough for Time Warner to make a pot. Full bowl.

Who else in the whole of Hollywood has the ability to turn a stone into gold?

Even if it is foreseen that the continuous expansion of Daenerys Entertainment will threaten the traditional power ecology of the entire Hollywood, however, in the face of such a temptation of interests, there is really no one that can really stop the expansion of Daenerys Entertainment.

Most of the expectations are to be able to entertain with Daenerys and work with Simon Westeros.

It just so happened that Daenerys Entertainment also showed a sufficient cooperative attitude and did not greedily eat all the benefits into her stomach.

The Simon couple arrived at the activity center of the studio near seven o'clock, and the hall was already crowded with people and lively.

At seven o'clock, the party started.

When Simon took the stage to deliver his New Year's speech, he couldn't help but look back on the year to come.

In 1991, the beginning of the last decade of the twentieth century, too much happened in both the Westeros system and the world.

This year, which started with a devastating Gulf War and ended with a thrilling collapse of the empire, completely changed the world pattern.

this

In 2010, the Westeros system successively merged mca and Bell Atlantic, becoming one of Hollywood's largest media giants, while successfully entering the traditional telecommunications industry.

This year, the first heir to the Westeros family was born.

This year, because of the influence and promotion of Simon, the big butterfly, the Internet industry began to break out ahead of schedule.

This year, the other two projects of the DC Cinematic Universe, "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "The Flash" were once again successful, completely confirming the birth of a new film business model.

This year, Simon Westeros personal wealth reached 35 billion US dollars, far more than any one in the wealth list.

This year, Simon Westeros, 23 years old.

Inside the event hall of Daenerys Studios.

All the guests in the hall also lingered with various emotions as they looked at the handsome, calm and sharp-edged young man who delivered the New Year's speech.

Too many people don't believe in miracles because they haven't encountered them.

However, at this moment, everyone has to admit that a miracle happened to him, to that treacherous young man who began to rise rapidly at the age of 18.

"Finally, I hope you all have a good night, and I wish everyone a smooth work, happiness and health in the coming year, thank you all."

In the warm applause, Simon stepped off the stage.

The festivities officially begin tonight.

The carnival continued until late at night, at twelve o'clock, everyone began to count down, the New Year's bell rang, and 1992 officially arrived.

After New Year's Day, when many people were still immersed in the holidays, Simon, who had been off for a whole month, began to work again.

At the beginning of the new year, there are many things in the entire Westeros system that Simon needs to handle.

In addition to Daenerys Entertainment's series of film projects, in New York, the long-prepared Westeros Building will be launched after the year. The first thing to do is to demolish the six buildings in the entire block. Simon needs to personally Go to the east coast.

During Simon's vacation last month, Daenerys Entertainment successfully won the ea company.

While Nancy Brill was in charge of most things, many things also required Simon's involvement.

There are also plans for Universal Studios Osaka in Japan.

After a year of negotiation and planning with the Japanese government, the location of Universal Studios Osaka was basically determined, and Simon also needed to personally fly to Japan to finalize many series.
