The recent pressure from the media and political circles has not had much impact on the already behemoth Daenerys Entertainment.

In late March, Daenerys Entertainment’s internal employee stock subscription plan has come to an end, and all subscription quotas have been fulfilled. The company's film, television, cinema, peripherals, games and other businesses have maintained a very good growth in the upcoming first quarter.

Among them, the most important film business, as of last Friday, Daenerys Entertainment's three labels have released a total of 9 films in 11 box office weeks in 1994.

"Four Weddings and a Funeral", which was released on Valentine's Day on February 11, counted the $5.15 million in the last three weekends of the sixth week of the filming. This offbeat romantic comedy has been released in five and a half weeks at the box office. reached $80.76 million.

It is expected that the total box office for the seven-day box office week spanning the Oscars from March 18 to March 24 will be around 7 million US dollars. With the arrival of the Easter schedule, the film has no chance of breaking through the 100 million yuan box office mark through subsequent releases. Suspense, so it will become the first North American box office film in 1994 to break 100 million.

On the other hand, as of March 17 last Thursday, the total North American box office of 10 box office weeks in 1994 was 670 million US dollars, and only the film "Four Weddings and a Funeral" took 75.61 million US dollars, accounted for 11.1%.

A series of films whose release cycle was extended to 1994 at the end of last year, among which only three films, "The Lion King", "Schindler's List" and "In the Name of the Father", belonged to the box office of the first ten box office weeks of 1994. They reached $43.56 million, $55.39 million, and $18.79 million, respectively, with other films like "The Seven Deadly Sins" contributing $22.19 million sporadically.

These last year's films have divided up another 129 million US dollars in the box office of the first ten weeks this year, accounting for 19.2%.

In addition to last Friday's "Sexy Club" starring Mia Kirshner and "Four Weddings and a Funeral" on Valentine's Day, the other seven films that are not too heavy have a cumulative box office of $51.79 million. , accounting for 7.6%.

There are no shortage of bright spots in the seven films.

New World Pictures purchased the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series copyright and filmed "The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre" with a budget of $5 million. After its release on January 14, the cumulative amount reached $23.79 million.

A basketball-themed documentary "Basketball Dream" released by Gaomen Pictures on January 21, with a budget of $700,000, won a total of 7.83 million US dollars at the box office. small success.

Kevin Smith's "Crazy Clerk", which emerged at the Sundance Film Festival, was bought by Goldman Films and was released on February 4. It cost $27,000 and earned $5.19 million in six weeks in theaters. The same It was a small success.

Ron Howard, who has been a longtime Universal Studios collaborator, is back with Daenerys Entertainment after filming "Ambition" with Columbia Pictures and Tom Cruise.

In addition to the recently signed blockbuster film "Apollo 13," Howard also collaborated with New World Pictures last year on a low-budget satirical comedy "Media Vanguard," with a budget of only $6 million, March 11 It was released, and the revenue in the first week reached 7.05 million US dollars. New World Pictures, which is responsible for the distribution of the film, increased the number of screens from 1,017 to 1,531 last Friday. The total North American box office is expected to be between 30 million and 40 million US dollars. A little dark horse.

Simon approved the project casually last year, and he never thought the film would be so good at the box office, which further strengthened his idea of ​​keeping Ron Howard under Daenerys Entertainment.

There are successes and of course there are failures.

Gaomen Pictures invested in Dario Argento's new film "Trauma", which was completed last year. The film was left on the January 28 schedule due to poor performance, and the film stayed in theaters. In two weeks, due to poor reputation, no one cared about it, and the total box office was only 930,000 US dollars, and the investment of 5 million US dollars was basically gone.

It also belongs to Simon's selection of three projects from the tentative film industry last year, "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Blood Romeo" and "Love in My Heart". In the depths of my heart is a bigger one, with a production budget of 20 million US dollars, 523 screens in the first week, and only 1.21 million US dollars in box office revenue in the first seven days of the first week. Weekly $ 1.81 million completely under the painting.

Finally, there is a B-level sci-fi thriller "Puppet Life", which tells the story of aliens invading the earth's parasitic human body. The production budget is 5 million US dollars. It will be scheduled on February 11, and the cumulative box office will be 5.19 million US dollars before the next release. North American box office Temporary losses, which can easily be recovered through overseas distribution and video tape sales, are tepid.

In ten weeks, the main "Four Weddings and One Funeral", a series of old films from last year, and seven new films this year, the three parts together accounted for 37.9% of the box office share of 670 million US dollars in the first ten weeks of 1994. Hollywood All other studios can only share the remaining 62.1%.

And that doesn't include collaborations like Mission: Impossible, and MGM, a Hollywood studio that Simon also controls.

Growing up from childhood.

It can be said

, Daenerys Entertainment's situation of dominating Hollywood with one enemy and many strengths has been completely stabilized.

While Simon continues to work on the company's recent affairs in the Daenerys Studios offices, the Chandler Theatre Oscar results keep coming.

Spielberg's "Schindler's List" is on a tear, winning consecutive technical awards such as best score, best editing, best art direction, etc., and the phenomenal animated film "The Lion King" also successfully won Best Soundtrack and Best Original Song.

Around eight o'clock, Simon's personal cell phone rang.

It was Catherine Bigelow who called.

Katherine had just had dinner with some friends in Santa Monica and tried to contact Janet to no avail, so she called Simon.

After many years of acquaintance, both friends and closeness, the relationship between the Simons and Catherine has always been the same. The woman has lived in New York for the past two years. Simon and Janet go to the East Coast to get together with Katherine most of the time. Janet, in particular, has rarely appeared in the media. It is shopping and eating with Katherine in Manhattan.

Simon deliberately pretended to be pitiful on the phone and said that he was still working overtime. Janet went to Australia, and she was lonely, cold, and pitiful.

I could feel Catherine's helpless expression on the other side of the phone, but she was still concerned and asked if she wanted to bring Simon a dinner.

of course yes.

Catherine arrived in about twenty minutes, and she came in with a small box of food.

Simon, who was buried in the pile of documents, looked up from behind the desk. The woman habitually had long hair and a shawl, and did not show her delicate face that had been soaked in time. Tonight, she wore a light gray high-neck women's windbreaker, and the hem of the windbreaker showed a section of washed jeans. , with leather boots on her feet, tall and slender figure with this dress, the royal sister is full of style.

Seeing that the little man was looking at himself as unabashedly as before, Catherine glared at him with some resentment and asked, "Why are you still working so late?"

Simon closed a document in front of him and put it aside, smiling: "Work makes me rich."

Thinking of the recent news in the media, Catherine didn't know how to speak for a while, so she had to hand over the box in her hand: "Salt and pepper shrimp, the restaurant I just ate at did very well, and I brought it to you as a snack."

Simon stopped talking nonsense that he hadn't eaten yet. He got up and took the box. He turned from behind the desk to the reception area and sat down. He opened the carton and asked, "Who did you have dinner with?"

Catherine sat on the sofa next to Simon, her back was still straight, with a bit of pleasure, she looked at Simon eating softly, and said, "Rockwell and the others."

Simon nodded.

I understand that they are all filmmakers in the New York circle, such as Alexander Rockwell, Allison Anders, Whit Stillman, etc., and I am sitting in the Chandler Theater at this time, looking forward to the best of "The Wedding Banquet". Ang Lee, who won the Best Foreign Language Film award, is also a member of the New York Gang.

Li's best foreign language film award this time is basically guaranteed, and, counting the time, the results of the awards have probably already been released. When Catherine was here, Simon didn't ask the girl A outside to ask.

Catherine did not continue the topic, but said: "Last week Jenny also said that I would have dinner together after I came here. Why did I suddenly go to Australia?"

Simon said: "I'm homesick, go back and have a look."

Catherine looked at Simon suspiciously and asked carefully, "Is there a conflict?"

The recent affairs of men, especially the group of goblins in London, she had watched specially, and they were really top-notch beauties.

Consider his temperament.

It's ridiculous.

If it was me, I would be very angry.

Simon shook his head with a smile: "There's really no such thing. Don't expect Jenny to give you the opportunity to take advantage of it."

Catherine looked left and right, there was nothing to throw around, so she could only lift her leg and kick him lightly.

Simon took a bite without hiding, and changed the subject: "How is the script preparation for Detroit?"

After relying on Simon's recommendation of "The End of the Road" to get an Oscar nomination, Katherine has not made any more films in the past two years. She occasionally helps a friend as a producer, and is investigating some famous and introspective stories in modern American history. Political history events, from the 1967 Detroit riots to the 1979 Iran-Contra riots to the 1992 Los Angeles riots, also focused on the downing of the US military's Black Hawk in Somalia last year.

What women most want to photograph is the Los Angeles riots.

I was just discouraged by Simon on the grounds that the time point was too close to judge the incident from a bystander's point of view. As for Iran Gate and even the fall of the shadows, this kind of movie is likely to go abroad, which is too dangerous, so I chose Simon Memory in the end. Catherine's "Detroit".

Simon also helped Catherine make a simple outline of ideas based on the information in her memory, and the content was left to her to supplement and improve.
