"Now there are only tens of thousands of yuan left every day. Next week, the box office is basically 395 million yuan, less than 400 million yuan less than 5 million yuan. What a pity. I watched it several times and cried every time. Everyone thought that 500 million box office was possible, but piracy was too rampant. Another TV station made a special report on piracy. Simon, why didn't you intervene? "
"I can't get too much money here. I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute. It's a waste of time."
"Ha ha, yes, 395 million yuan, only... Only... Only... 38.24, 4.32... Now the exchange rate is 8.6, anyway, it's about 30 million US dollars. The split account is 13%, so you can get 4 million US dollars. Simon, I don't think you make much money selling pirated CDs. As I just said, on TV, There was a special crackdown on piracy in Beijing, pulling a load of CDs, most of which were Titanic. "
Palisade.
A corner of the indoor bar on the first floor of the hillside mansion.
Simon is sitting on the sofa, next to Zhu Momo, who is still snapping his fingers. The topic is "Titanic", which is about to be released in China.
The big ship was released in China on April 10. Simon had hoped to drop the box office for a month, so that the box office would not be too high and eye-catching. However, because the Chinese audience was too enthusiastic and responded to the public's voice, the film was delayed for one month until June 10.
It's next Wednesday.
In a word, "Titanic" was first painted in China. It broke through 100 million in one week and 200 million in two weeks. However, with a large number of well-made pirated CDs coming into the market, the box office of the film in China also declined rapidly.
up to now.
Compared with the previous long-term, the box office potential is basically exhausted in this two months, and China's total box office is expected to stay at 395 million yuan, just a line away from the 400 million threshold.
This is a data that all parties are willing to see.
The well-made "Titanic" bilingual subtitle pirated disc is Simon's advice that Chen Qing let people make and release it.
Otherwise, with the gradually standardized cinema system and online ticketing in China, it is not impossible for Titanic to reach 400 million or 500 million this time.
That would be too harsh.
According to the result of the girl's fingers, it's only a few million dollars in the end. There's no need to be afraid.
395 million, just right.
As for the problem of piracy, Simon knows that because Titanic is equally popular in China, the sales volume of VCD in China has increased by more than 20% in the last two months on a month on month basis. On the side of westero system, whether it's scopper, who controls the core components of VCD, or scopper, who is supported by westero to become the largest VCD manufacturer in China, it's full of money.
Simon won't talk to Zhu Momo about these inner ways. He said around the girl's slender waist, "don't talk about this. What's interesting about you recently?"
Zhu Mo immediately became interested: "yes, ha ha, I'm funny when I think of it. Two idiots, Xiao Wei and Luo Yan, my classmates in my class, received an invitation to sneak to audition, saying that it was a big production costume movie invested by Hong Kong, like crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon. In the end, they were almost abducted. Fortunately, I saved them."
Simon listened with a smile and asked, "how did you save it?"
"Did they secretly go to the audition or at night? Because they were criticized last year, our class was very strict, and it started to be normal after they went there. Later, those people invited them to the nightclub for dinner, which was not good. They found an opportunity to call me secretly, and then they asked me to keep secret. Tut, if Teacher Chang knew, they would be scolded miserably. Later, I not only saved them, but also got them arrested. As a result, I led girls everywhere to audition, and then I took them to nightclubs to pull them into the water. "
Simon just nodded with a smile.
I have seen so many similar things in the circle that it is difficult to make waves like the girl in my arms.
Zhu Momo did not wait for Simon to ask, but continued excitedly: "by the way, Simon, hero is very famous in China recently, that film festival..."
"Cannes."
"Yes, at Cannes Film Festival, a lot of foreign media were highly praised and reprinted to China. Now you can look forward to competing with Titanic. Oh, they probably didn't find that you invested in both films."
Simon said with a smile, "keep a low profile. We just know about it ourselves."
"Ha ha..." Zhu Momo held Simon's arm, trembled his slender body, laughed for a while, and then said: "however, it seems that the schedule has not been set yet. He said that he would negotiate with the cinema to increase the share. Simon, is there any result?"
"It should be soon."
"Well, we're looking forward to it before it's shown. The cinema will definitely give in."
It's close to ten o'clock in the night.
As they were talking, Nicole Kidman came through the crowd and said to Simon, "it's late, Simon. I'm going to go home and say goodbye to you."
That's what she said. Naturally, Nicole sat down on the other side of Simon's seat and deliberately looked at Zhu Momo, who was obviously hostile to her.
Simon saw that the big goblin was like this, but he didn't chase anyone. He found a topic and said, "I just forgot to ask, how did it feel in Australia to take part in the shooting of the Lord of the rings? I mean, Peter and them?"
Nicole understood Simon's meaning, but she didn't rush to answer. She asked for a glass of champagne from a passing waiter, sipped it, leaned towards the man without any trace, and said, "yes, Peter is a very humble person. He is never arbitrary about shooting, and often calls together everyone to discuss. But on the other hand, Peter knows exactly what he wants. I believe the Lord of the rings trilogy will become a classic. "
Nicole's narration is basically consistent with Simon's attention to Australia, so she nods slightly.
Nicole was puzzled: "Simon, it's almost half a year since shooting started. Don't you plan to follow up for a while?"
"Look at the schedule. Maybe some days will pass in the second half of the year."
Simon is doing less and less of these than he used to follow up some heavy projects. After all, the movies produced by danielis entertainment each year are just heavy bombs with a budget of more than 50 million dollars, and they don't count either.
I really don't have the time.
What's more, like Peter Jackson, Simon is confident that he has chosen the right creator, which saves him enough effort.
Nicole saw that Simon was not sure. Of course, she couldn't force him. She looked at Zhu Momo on the other side and said with a smile: "by the way, Simon, the girls you sent to Australia to play elves are really beautiful. Almost every one of them has the potential to become a supermodel. Even I'm under pressure. Moreover, after dressing up, I can't help feeling that, The elves probably look like those Eastern European girls. "
Nicole is talking about the Ukrainian girl Simon sent to Australia to play the role of the elf dragon.
This is Simon's private collection, a total of 17, a small waist, white skin, long legs, height of 175 cm, small features, delicate face, standard East Slavic girl.
It's a very early idea.
At first, he planned to choose models from Eastern Europe. However, if he stayed in Australia, it would be inappropriate for him to have a regular career. Simon didn't like to be reluctant, so he chose models from his own collection. Seventeen girls, who are still in Australia, will appear in the camera as background dragon sets as long as they have the part of elves.
It's Simon's personal bad taste, as well as a colorful egg welfare for the future audience.
Although Zhu Momo is a scum, she is not bad in human relationship. After listening to Nicole's words, she immediately understood that she was implying that she was a "model" and the girls she said were sent to Australia to play dragon suit. He glanced at the expressions of the men around him. He seemed to be unaware of the appearance, and immediately couldn't help but fight back: "magic woman, famik Jensen is a model, indeed, If Simon wants to, each of the girls you just mentioned can be another Nicole Kidman, "he said, turning to the man," Simon, right? "
Simon was smiling and noncommittal.
Simon's attitude is that he doesn't care about other things as long as he doesn't scratch his face.
Nicole didn't expect that the oriental girl would reply. She also glanced at someone. Seeing that she didn't want to help herself, she immediately understood the man's mind. She rolled her eyes slightly and didn't continue. Instead, she put her hand around the man's arm and no longer covered up: "Simon, are you free tonight?"
Zhu Momo, who had been cuddling up to the man, immediately put his arms around Simon's other arm: "I'm sorry, Miss Kidman, Simon has already made an agreement with me."
Nicole blinked and looked at Simon. "Do you have one?"
Simon shook his head.
I wish Momo suddenly wronged to toot mouth, small expression pathetic.
Simon, with a glass in his right hand, carefully rolled his arm out of Nicole's hand and said with a smile, "well, I won't allow anyone tonight. I'll sleep by myself."
This time, the two women with different appearance, character, temperament and race were united in expression, showing the appearance of disbelief.
Simon shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "it's been a month. I feel good. I'm going to stick to it for a few more days."
Nicole understood that there was no need for a man to lie about this. She suddenly spat out her tongue and looked scared. She said to Zhu Momo, "OK, give it to you."
Zhu Momo has experienced the "dangerous world". He imagines what a man might be like after a month's hard work. He instinctively swallows his saliva and looks down at his body. He can't help but quit. He secretly wants to be Jianxin and Tao Yuelei. Or, as I have been planning for a long time, if I bring two female students here this time
Unfortunately, none.
When they were hesitating or pretending to be hesitating, someone came to say goodbye to Simon, which made them come back.
Simon turned to socializing, then just stayed at the party for more than ten minutes and left first. In the disappointed eyes of many guests, he only brought Zhu Momo.
I'm not going to do anything.
For this reason, she doesn't even plan to return to domay point manor tonight. Recently, Janet has become more and more fond of all kinds of teasing, hoping to put her husband back on the right track, and weekends are also his free time.
It's just that you need a soft pillow.
Staying in a villa at the top of the mountain in Beller in the evening is probably due to the jet lag. Zhu Momo is like a kitten who is very energetic at night, and has not been bullied by a man, so he hugs each other on the bed and talks until late.
Simon wakes up at five o'clock in the morning, and the girl beside him is still sleeping.
After dressing and washing, I went downstairs and just jogged on the treadmill in the gym to warm up. Another slim figure in a women's sports suit flickered and hesitated to move in. When Simon saw the figure, he no longer hesitated to come in. He just hung his head slightly and felt guilty.
I can't help it.
Simon pointed to the treadmill with a smile and waited for Mo Wuling's eyes to dodge and stand up. After some operation, he began to walk. Then he opened his mouth and joked: "some time ago, I read a piece of information. In Guangxi, China, there is an automobile brand called Wuling Automobile."
Mo Wuling made a sound subconsciously.
And then I reacted.
Wuling Auto... Can't help but stare at it. It's not lethal.
bad guy.
How bad!
Simon continued with a smile: "it's very interesting, isn't it? You know, in the west, many people like to name their companies after their own names. If they can inherit them, it will be a kind of honor."
She thought, as if, indeed.
It's just that I'm Chinese.
There is no such habit.
Thinking about it, he said: "we are not used to this. Chinese people are introverted."
"Then I asked them to change their name. You know, I have a lot of investment in China. It's very easy to change my name."
I didn't expect him to say that. Mo Wuling shakes his head subconsciously. How can he let others change their name because of this small combination: "no, it's too troublesome."
"Well."
After a moment's silence, Mo Wuling finally said, "I've been thinking about your original words."
Simon wondered, "well?"
"Well, in the study in Sha Dian."
"Oh, I remember."
The man's tone was casual, and Mo Wuling suddenly felt that he was hopeless.
Yes, maybe it's just someone's casual words, and she can forget that in a twinkling of an eye.
It's hopeless.
And now, knowing that he has the habit of morning exercise in the morning, he even ran over.
God.
What are you doing!
Fortunately, the man then began to speak, easing some of her embarrassment: "in fact, I have been reading that" Han Feizi ", benefited a lot."
So she turned to look at it and made it strange.
In fact, she almost broke the book in private, but she was neither the superior nor Wu Zetian's ambition. She didn't like the book.
I just can't help flipping.
Thinking about what he would think when he saw this sentence and how he would understand that sentence.
Well, I can't help myself.
There was a voice in my ear: "which one do you think I would like better in Han Feizi?"
"Death."
Subconsciously blurted out, said again can not help but want to escape, this is not the initiative to show.
Simon, however, laughed, nodded and said in a slow voice: "those who are small but not inferior, those who are weak but not afraid of being strong, those who are rude but humiliate their neighbors, those who are greedy and stubborn but bad friends, may die."
Mo Wuling listens to him reciting one of the passages in Han Feizi. Of course, she remembers. She just doesn't know why he chose this sentence and waits for an explanation, but the man doesn't have the following.
So I was worried again.
Pondering, pondering, it's probably certain that he didn't imply anything. Then, why did he say that again.
Simon just felt it.
But it's the feeling from many years later. Of course, I can't explain it to Mo Wuling, and I don't intend to explain it.
Seeing the sensitive girl who was ready to run away, she didn't mention it any more. Instead, she asked about her and Zhu Mo's trip. With such a chat, Mo Wuling gradually relaxed and thought that she was just talking to him like this, and didn't want more.
