Chapter 1301: 1308

On the last day of his visit to Ukraine, Simon mainly visited several universities in Livni and the institutes of life sciences under construction or completion.

It's also about one of the goals of the 3G program.

Ukraine will be the main research base in Europe for the goal of "breaking the time limit" in the 3G plan, just as the US military once set up a large number of biological laboratories in Ukraine.

There's no need to be too formal here.

There are many areas of research that may be subject to strict regulation in other countries, and there are few obstacles in Ukraine, which is gradually collapsing.

Moreover, the Ukrainian authorities will certainly support the research of the westero system more than the biological laboratory of the US military.

No one doesn't want to live longer.

In addition, compared with Africa, which is more unruly, Ukraine has another big advantage: talent.

Ten years and twenty years later, Ukraine felt a decline. However, Ukraine in the former Soviet Union was the essence of the once powerful red empire.

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine's literacy rate reached more than 90% long ago. This territory, which is only less than 3% of the former Soviet Union, is not only the granary of Europe, but also has dozens of colleges and universities. It also gathers the aviation, military industry, shipbuilding, nuclear energy and other cutting-edge industries of the former Soviet Union, and has very rich human resources.

Such a good set of cards is rare if they are poor.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Simon. Like many people, he is very happy to see the rotten Ukraine, so that he can easily draw a circle in one place and become the city leader, and then use Ukraine as the test ground of 3G plan.

In addition to life science research, which involves aviation, nuclear energy and other fields of the other two goals, Simon will also carry out the layout in Ukraine, but this aspect is mainly to empty Ukraine's family.

Finally, he spent a day in Ukraine, and Simon left that afternoon.

Back in New York, it was Friday night, January 16.

Just after the box office week from January 9 to January 15, the complete box office data of "Titanic" came out. The exact number was $38.11 million, and the cumulative box office reached $279.7 million.

The box office of this super blockbuster, whose budget was out of control during the production stage of the project, has doubled as many people initially expected. In the same week, when the box office of "flash 2" was only $22.34 million, the box office of "Titanic" in the fifth week was still as high as $38.11 million, In this cold season, the momentum has not been reduced.

Simon spent the weekend in New York and returned to Los Angeles. The 55th Golden Globe Awards of American film and television were also held on Sunday, January 18.

Thanks to danielis entertainment, Titanic won four awards: best film, best director, best original song and best original dubbing.

Even if the controversy is inevitable, there is no doubt that "Titanic" has completely overshadowed all the other films in the Golden Globe Awards, including a series of classic films produced by Denise entertainment in the past year. Moreover, because of the public's strong interest in Titanic, the audience rating of the Golden Globe awards also reached the highest in the last decade.

Stimulated by the Golden Globe's big win, the film's attention rose sharply again.

Simon returned to Los Angeles this week, this phenomenal disaster love movie unexpectedly once again realized a reverse decline. In the sixth week of its release from January 16 to January 22, the box office did not go down, but rose by 13%. It returned to the range of more than $40 million again, reaching $43.06 million, and the cumulative box office also hit $322.76 million.

Once again, everyone can't see the box office trend clearly.

In the sixth week, the local box office is close to 300 million, and it can reverse the decline again, pushing the box office volume to more than 40 million US dollars per week. This is not a miracle, what is it?!

Before the Golden Globe Award, according to the previous box office trend, the industry generally thought that the domestic box office of the film would be between 400 million and 500 million US dollars.

It's already pretty amazing.

Now, back to 40 million single week box office range, with the super long-term trend shown by this film, there must be more than 200 million box office potential left in the future. As a result, it may eventually reach 500 million to 600 million, or even more than 600 million, further approaching the $703 million super record set by "Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice" two years ago.

In this case, only the local cinema release, excluding the total production and publicity budget of 250 million dollars, "Titanic" can still achieve considerable profits.The most striking contrast is flash 2.

In the fifth week of release, even if the decline of this popular film for last year's Christmas show narrowed to 26%, the weekly box office still dropped from $22.34 million last week to $15.79 million, and the cumulative box office was only $225.45 million, which unconsciously lagged behind the box office of Titanic by nearly $100 million.

I'm sure I'll be more behind next.

Park City, Sundance.

This period of time because of the early virus marketing and attention of "the witch Blair" premiered on Saturday, January 24.

By the time Simon arrived in park city at noon, the premiere, which began at 10 a.m., was over, and some critics had already given their first reviews on the Internet.

The most representative is Roger Abbott, who was always strict with the horror genre because he wanted to be a horror screenwriter in those years, but failed to finish. This famous film critic gave a preliminary review on his own Facebook page, praising the film as "excellent structure and skillful hands-on, He successfully created another new pseudo documentary template after ghost record.

Because most of the film critics invited to the premiere were screened, most of them were highly praised by people like Roger Abbott.

Of course, it is not without objection.

A columnist from the San Francisco Chronicle criticized the film as "another vulgar camping hunt with a fake documentary film cover.".

Camping and hunting movies are a very common type in Hollywood. The general structure is that a group of young girls go camping on holidays and are killed one by one by perverted killers. The typical one is "Friday the 13th" series.

It's true that Blair the witch is another "camping hunt.".

However, in the final analysis, Hollywood movies are just like that. The key is who can create new ideas. Just like the Jurassic Park series, if you are far fetched, you can also apply the very common camping hunting template. A group of people gather on a small island and are hunted one by one by a big "killer" one by one. Think about it, isn't it?

Compared with the real traditional camping and hunting, the witch Blair, which adopts the form of pseudo documentary and adds witch elements, has too many innovations.

In a word, Danielle is even too lazy to refute the criticisms of the reporter of the San Francisco Chronicle. The overall positive feedback of the film has proved that most people's attitude towards the film. The next step is to accept the market test when it is officially released on February 6.

In a word, the new world film team, even the chief creator of "the witch Blair", who is in charge of this project, is most worried about "Titanic".

The momentum of this super blockbuster is too strong, even if the momentum will slow down in early February, the key is that during this period, "Titanic" occupies too many pages, which inevitably suppresses the exposure of "the witch Blair". What this film needs most is exposure and topic.

However, worry can only worry.

No one knows what the box office of "the witch Blair" will be, but the ferocious momentum of "Titanic" is well known, so "the witch Blair" can only say bad luck.

The hilltop villa south of Sundance.

At noon, he only had time to attend the premiere reception of "the witch Blair". Simon then returned here to start some work schedule.

In the evening, it's the usual "villa westrow party.".

In addition, Simon has finally finalized his itinerary and will fly to China tomorrow. According to the lunar calendar, tomorrow is December 27, and he will arrive in Hangzhou on December 28. Like last year, this year is still a new year's Eve without 30, and 29 is new year's Eve.

I happened to have dinner with the Linsu family on New Year's Eve and stay for a few days.

Therefore, some work should be dealt with as soon as possible.

In a reception room on the first floor of hilltop villa, Simon is chatting with a newcomer from Sundance.

This new guy, Zach Schneider.

Zach Schneider, of course.

Zac Schneider, 31, has a similar career as Michael Bay and David Finch, both of which started with making MVs and commercials. This year, he finally made his first film and sent it to Sundance for exhibition. It was six years earlier for Zach Schneider to enter Hollywood than when he did not shoot his first full-length novel "dawn of the living dead" until he was 37 years old. Obviously, it was Simon's influence.

Once Zac Schneider, like very like, hate very hate, can be said to be full of criticism.Simon is one of those people who really like Zach Schneider's movies. Of course, like is like, but Simon doesn't imitate many of the other director's styles, such as pursuing the details too much, and even the film length is always out of control.

Frankly speaking, the director editing versions of many Schneider films are very brilliant. However, as a cinema film, it is not qualified.

The requirement of cinema movies, especially commercial movies, must be controlled within three hours, and two hours is the best. Warner demands two hours for justice alliance, which has caused great controversy. This is not wrong. The only mistake is that Warner's two-hour version of justice alliance is too mediocre, So much so as to create a DC movie, the biggest tragedy in the universe.

I won't say much about that.

In a word, Zach Schneider is an excellent director with enough ability and his own style and even thought. The key is whether he can make good use of it and find a project suitable for him.

Just like Schneider's most successful commercial "Sparta 300 warrior", with a cost of 65 million US dollars and a global box office of more than 400 million, this is a good example. In addition, there is the other party's first feature film "dawn of the living dead". Although it is a remake, the story rhythm of the film is also quite brilliant. With tens of millions of investment, the global box office is over 100 million, which is also a blockbuster.

And then, from "the secret service of beautiful girls", Schneider began to dispute and worship.

In Simon's view, it was the result of no longer carefully preparing for the elderly. Schneider, however, finally withdrew from the DC movie universe, or that sentence, can only be said to be inappropriate. What Warner wants is a marvel like the marvel movie universe. Zach Schneider just wants to instill some connotation and thinking into the audience, so the conflict is inevitable.

In any case, since Schneider chose to go out, Simon will not let it go.

The movie that the other party broke into the main competition unit of Sundance this time is a road movie, which combines the sci-fi elements of the eschatological background and tells the story of a group of eschatological survivors looking for the newspaper group to warm themselves. It can be said that it is a completely original new movie under the influence of Simon, a big butterfly.

After chatting, I learned that Zach Schneider is a fan of the "Mad Max" series. The reason why he made such a movie similar to George Miller's famous work was also inspired by the "Mad Max" series.

Simon saw the film ahead of time. The production cost is 10 million dollars. The story is in order. The best part is the lens.

Even with a budget of only 10 million, Zach Schneider has successfully applied his art skills. Only this point can raise the score of a film with only 6 points in plot to 7 points. In addition, as a director of advertising film and MV background, the soundtrack of the film also has the style of Schneider later, at least 0.5 points can be added.

The first work can reach 7.5, which is quite successful.

Simon also told the new world film team to try to buy the film, which was produced by an independent production company in New York.

In addition to discussing Schneider's film, their meeting is mainly about another project: biochemical crisis.

This is a project Simon has been considering recently.

Danielis Entertainment's game Department has completed the story planning of the biochemical crisis game, because it was Simon's idea. During this period, she intervened several times, which is basically the same as the previous idea and story structure. There will still be some characters and plots, and even the character design style of the next game, Simon all requests some exquisite, unlike the Western game common realistic style, too ugly.

At the same time, out of support for the series, Simon plans to make the film ahead of time instead of waiting for the game to be released. In the next few years, danilisi entertainment will focus on the game business. Making movies ahead of time can also be regarded as a kind of publicity for the game.

Simon also thought about the director of the film for a long time.

Paul Anderson, a former film director, was Simon's first choice until he saw Zac Schneider's name in this year's main competition in Sundance.
