Euro Disneyland in the eastern suburbs of Paris, France.

After riding the Indiana Jones roller coaster, the couple wearing Mickey and Minnie T-shirts left the attraction, went around and found a lawn, and walked over together.

Pressing Simon down on the lawn, Janet took off the sunglasses on her face and lay comfortably on the man's chest.

Wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, dressed like a pair of ordinary couples that can be seen everywhere, playing wildly in Disneyland all day, some hesitant glances are inevitable, but they have never been identified.

It is already evening.

The warm sunshine in the early summer shines on the body, making it even more inevitable to give birth to a bit of laziness.

Rubbing against Simon like a kitten, Janet suddenly said, "Let's not go to Cannes tonight, okay?"

Simon stretched his arms around the woman's waist, nodding without thinking: "Okay."

Today is Monday, May 18th.

The 45th Cannes Film Festival opened on May 7, and the closing ceremony was officially held tonight.

I haven't been to Europe for a long time, and it is inevitable that there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with here.

Taking advantage of this film festival opportunity, Simon flew here with Janet last Friday.

After spending a day in Florence, Italy on Saturday, and flying to Helsinki, Finland yesterday, today was a free day, and it was a Monday with relatively few tourists. Simon and Janet came to the newly opened Euro Disneyland to play.

In fact, it can be regarded as a first-hand experience of the operation of Disneyland.

Euro Disneyland, which lasted six years and cost 5 billion US dollars and covers an area of ​​nearly 20 square kilometers, officially opened on April 12, and the official passenger flow in the last month or so was less than half of what Disney originally expected, a huge loss that can be imagined. And the heavy debt burden of the theme park made the situation of Disney executives who were smug at the time quite embarrassing.

The failure of Euro Disney has had a very obvious impact on Universal Studios Osaka, Japan, which is under preparation.

The most direct point is that the Osaka city government finally slowed down during this period of time, and no longer insisted on exchanging all the land for shares, but exchanged it for cash and shares equally. According to the plan that has basically been negotiated on the Japanese side, the Osaka city government's shareholding in Universal Studios Osaka can eventually be reduced to about 5%.

For Simon, the failure of Euro Disney also brought him many warnings.

This Disneyland outside Paris was largely influenced by the success of Tokyo Disneyland. At the beginning, Disney was full of confidence in this project, and European countries also racked their brains to compete for this theme park project that could have many positive effects on the economy and employment.

The initial blindness also had very serious consequences.

In my memory, EuroDisney, later renamed Disneyland Paris, has been open for decades, and it has basically never made a profit. For such a huge project, considering that the consequences of bankruptcy and liquidation are too serious, it is difficult for Disney to ride a tiger, and it is impossible to even get rid of it, so it has to subsidize funds for a long time to maintain its operations.

The lack of detailed market research in the early stage, excessive optimism leading to out of control project budgets, and failure to carry out localized operations that fit the market... These huge mistakes in EuroDisney are all things that Universal Studios Osaka needs to pay attention to next.

Simon pondered, and suddenly thought of another thing.

Disney on the original timeline, even in the relatively sluggish years at the beginning of the new century, has always been a Hollywood giant-style media group.

However, in Hollywood now, because of the rise of Daenerys Entertainment, Disney has been significantly suppressed.

For example, Pixar, the animation studio that has maintained Disney's long-standing dominance of animated films, is already owned by Daenerys Entertainment.

Some of Disney's blockbuster projects in the 1990s, such as "Pretty Woman" and "The Lion King", have also been cut off by Simon.

Miramax, originally an important sub-label of Disney, is now dying.

Even in Disney's vital 2D animated film business, the production scale of Disney's 2D animated films has been limited because of Simon's early acquisition of Pixar, resulting in the fact that animation production technology has not shifted from manual to digital.

The wave of consolidation in the US media industry has begun.

Because of Daenerys Entertainment's series of cuts, the current Disney, although operating well among the major Hollywood studios, can no longer have enough strength to annex the Metropolis-abc Group.

It is impossible to transform from a simple studio to a comprehensive media group. In the general trend of the US media industry, which tends to concentrate resources, this veteran film company that has been operating alone for many years will likely end up being taken over by other large media in the future. Group annexation.

Twenty or thirty years later, the most powerful big studios in Hollywood, whether Disney or Warner Bros. or Universal Pictures, are actually attached to a huge media conglomerate. Up-and-coming stars such as Lionsgate have been unable to truly compete with the traditional big studios because of their independence. They briefly relied on one or two blockbuster series for a few years, and soon fell silent.

Now Disney, there have been signs of instability inside.

Simon couldn't help but start thinking, maybe one day, this old studio can be included in the bag. Or, let it be completely silent like the former United Artists, RKO, and later MGM.

Euro Disney is such a heavy burden,

Undoubtedly, it can play a very good "help" to promote the decline of Disney.

Suddenly a pair of small hands reached out and rubbed Simon's face for a while, interrupting his thoughts.

With a gesture of biting at one of the hands, the two little paws jumped over together and hurriedly shut up.

Dissatisfied, she pinched the man's face again, and Janet let go of Simon, put her arms on his chest, and said with her beautiful eyes: "Don't think about things, think about where we are going to play tomorrow."

Simon wrapped his arms around the small waist of the woman lying on his body, and said, "Go to Chateau Latour tomorrow to see."

Janet nodded, remembered one more thing, and said, "Dad told me last time that for David's wedding at the end of the year, let me help prepare some red wine."

Although the old man was dissatisfied with David Johnston's fiancée, his face-loving temperament remained the same.

Smiling and scratching the woman's waist with his fingers, Simon pretended to be in pain and said, "Just pick the one that's almost the same, it's so good, I'm going to feel distressed."

Janet snorted twice with a 'threatening' look in her eyes, looking like a little daughter-in-law who was brightly planning to turn her elbows out.

However, after staring at Simon for a moment, Janet was a little puzzled: "You don't seem to care at all?"

Simon pretended to be unhappy: "Am I a very stingy person in your heart?"

"of course not."

Janet said, tilting her head slightly, as if thinking seriously.

Simon wanted to imitate the way a woman just rubbed her face, but was suddenly attacked by Janet, who took a bite directly on his hand.

After a moment of playfulness, Janet became quiet again, and suddenly said, "I understand."

"Um?"

"You seem to really regard the Johnston family as your own relatives."

Simon's heart jumped a little, but there was nothing abnormal on the surface, and he said of course: "You are my relatives. :"

"No! No!"

Janet shook her head, as if entangled in some key question.

Simon stood up, pulled her up, kissed the woman's face, and whispered in her ear: "Let's go back, if your chest is swollen today, I'll help you deal with it."

Janet blushed instantly.

In December last year, the little one was born, and it has only been half a year. After sending Melbourne to Australia, she often faced some small troubles without breastfeeding herself.

Holding the man out, he didn't forget to give him a sideways glance.

Such a blatant change of the subject is really clumsy.

However, the question just now is really confusing.

After six years of being together, she knew him better than anything else.

In his bones, he was like a person from another world, and he was filled with a sense of alienation that was almost indifferent to the society he was in.

After so many years, only a few people can really break into his heart.

However, she has felt more than once that he regards all her family members as his own in many things.

The nuances in it are certainly not noticeable to ordinary people, but she is keenly aware of them.

For example, when she was with Patrick Johnston, several times, she could feel that his attitude towards Pat was exactly the same as that of his own incompetent youngest. Send it aside.

There is absolutely no courtesy of the elder brother who is separated by one floor, but it is almost the same as her sister on weekdays.

and also.

Um.

Little annoying thing.

In addition to the experience and knowledge of more than a dozen people in two lives, Janet is definitely smarter than Simon, but she rarely reveals this.

Combing through the many details accumulated in my mind, vaguely, I always feel that something is about to be grasped, but there is always something missing.

What's wrong?

Before they knew it, they got into the car, and the couple returned to the manor in the western suburbs of Paris together.

When he got home, Simon seemed to have forgotten the evil thoughts he had in Disneyland not long ago, and Janet once again put aside a question that had been entangled in her for a long time.

The couple entered the villa together, and Lady A greeted him and handed Simon an invitation, but it was sent by the Brockley family, hoping that Simon would attend a party held by the Brockley family in London tomorrow night.

Obviously, the Brockley family wants to talk to Simon about 007.

After the last fallout, Simon has decided to put the 007 series on hold for a few years. The Brockley family has now chosen to back down. It is already a bit late. Simon does not intend to change his decision.

Throwing the invitations aside, Janet began to instruct people to prepare dinner, Simon went to the study himself, and emailed some ideas that occurred at Disneyland today to the team in Los Angeles and Japan who were preparing for Universal Studios Osaka. .

Regarding the layout of Disney, it may be a long line of five to ten years, but Universal Studios Osaka is an important layout of Daenerys Entertainment in terms of theme parks.

The successful experience of Tokyo Disney and the failure of Euro Disney are enough to provide enough reference for this theme park in preparation.

After sending the email, Simon clicked on the box office data report in North America for the past weekend.

Mel Gibson's "Lethal Weapon"

"Device 3" was released last Friday, and the first three days after the opening weekend, it made 33.24 million US dollars with a scale of 2,510 screens. It is expected that the box office in the first week is expected to reach about 45 million US dollars.

Only a few years ago, a first-week box office of around $45 million was enough to break some box office records, and after the rise of full-scale saturated releases, this number seems very ordinary for a first-line blockbuster.

Even if "Wonder Woman," which opens on June 5, only grossed $45 million in its first week, the movie would be a failure.

It was originally planned to fly to Cannes tonight to participate in some activities after the closing ceremony of the film festival. Janet did not want to go temporarily, and Simon cancelled the trip.

However, Simon still got the award result information of the film festival for the first time.

The winner of the Palme d'Or at the 45th Cannes Film Festival was won by film master Ingmar Bergman's "Benevolent Betrayal" based on the experiences of his parents.

Ingmar Bergman's film talent is undeniable.

However, such a Palme d'Or, in Simon's view, is more of an affirmation of the film master's contribution to the film industry.

Daenerys Entertainment's entry this year is Howard Park, an adaptation of British novelist E. M. Foster's novel by Emma Thompson, Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham · Carter starred in three Hollywood stars and received unanimous praise from the media during the Cannes screening.

However, despite making it to the main competition, the film ended up being nothing.

Ingmar Bergman's screenplay won the award, which was expected in advance. Daenerys Entertainment's performance at major film festivals in the past few years has been quite "eye-catching", and it is still in the stage of keeping a low profile like the Oscars in March.

Although the film produced by her own failed to win the award, Ella Deutschman, the head of Highgate Films who came to Cannes as usual, also began to contact several award-winning works this year, such as "Benevolent Betrayal" and "Spring of a Little Thief". film copyright.

After Miramax went quiet, Simon had planned to replace Miramax's former Hollywood status with Highgate Pictures in the past few years, and even more efforts to promote overseas movies in North America.

The rise of Hollywood in recent years has threatened the film industry of overseas countries in all aspects.

Daenerys Entertainment vigorously replicates overseas films into North America, which is not only in its own interests, but also can largely alleviate the resistance of the overseas film market to Hollywood, at least, the resistance to the films produced by Daenerys Entertainment.
