"That's it today. About the duration, three hours is impossible. Don't bargain with me, two and a half hours at most."
"Simon, Titanic can last more than three hours. Why can't we?"
"Let's not talk about Titanic. Maybe we can say the first terminator. For James, who likes burning the budget very much, the film cost only $6.4 million and lasted no more than two hours. What do you think?"
There is a film viewing room in the post production center on the second floor of danilis studios.
Simon said, seeing that the wozhuosky brothers could not refute, he got up and said: "If you want more freedom, you need to prove your potential first. Don't think that the restrictions imposed by the studio on filmmakers are hindering your creation. Many times, some filmmakers are like toddlers. You don't know if you can run, so you need someone to watch and protect you from running rashly and causing you to hurt yourself."
Finally, he shook hands with the brothers who were reluctant but didn't say much, and Simon went out of the film room first.
It's about five o'clock in the afternoon.
After the morning meeting, Simon's afternoon time was reserved for the matrix and watched the sample film of the film with a group of main creators. The project was finished at the end of August, and the wozhuosky brothers returned from Australia recently. Today, they discussed the next post scheme, and they have to return to Australia to continue the follow-up special effects production.
It's mainly in Australia. It's cheaper in the later stage.
Simon went out of the viewing room and ran to join the fun in the afternoon. Demi Moore, the heroine of the new version of matrix, followed him and said, "Simon, what you just said is really reasonable."
Simon smiled, "in your position, Demi, the position should be opposite to me."
"That's Larry's position. I'm not the same," said Demi Moore, with a flattering look in her eyes. "I must be on your side."
"Oh, thank you."
As the woman walked, she seemed to touch Simon unintentionally. Turning to the stairs, she said, "Simon, it's time to get off work. Do you want to continue working?"
"No, get off work on time today."
Demi Moore's eyes lit up: "so... Can I give you a lift?"
"I'm sorry, I have other arrangements today."
"How about tomorrow?" said Demi Moore, adding immediately, "or, when you have time recently, call me anytime for coffee or dinner?"
Simon smiled and nodded slightly, "OK, I'll contact you when I have time."
When they left the office building of the post production center, Demi Moore followed them to the parking lot until the man got on the bus and left. They didn't find a chance and had to go back unhappily.
Simon also rarely leaves work on time.
Mainly Veronica came from Australia today.
Back to dumei point manor and enter the shell villa, Simon, led by the Indian girl aliya, passes through the villa hall and comes to a living room near the sea on the east side. Janet is here. There are a pile of clothes, hats and shoes in the room.
When Simon came in, Janet came directly with a blue and gray Plaid suit: "Sophie just sent her new autumn clothes from Europe. Come and try it. It's very good."
The waitress next to him also came over and helped the host take off his coat.
Simon could only cooperate. He opened his arms and put on the checkered suit handed over by Janet. He said, "I still prefer solid color."
"Yes, try again later," Janet said, standing in front of Simon, thoughtfully helping to fasten the button. "And you can't just wear solid color. It will make you gradually old-fashioned."
Simon felt the fragrance of the woman he had known for many years and held Janet's waist: "am I old-fashioned?"
Janet smiled, gently twisted her body, tied the last button, raised her hand, drew a circle in Simon's heart, and cut a few words from it: "you are a separatist. You have any character."
"No one dares to expose my scar for a long time. If you say so, it seems that you should be punished."
Janet also hugged Simon's waist and looked up at his white face: "come on, then I told Bing... Aunt, you bullied me."
Simon bowed his head, kissed the woman on the face and asked, "where are people?"
Janet blinked her big eyes: "she was just there. She touched her heel twice and disappeared. She should go back to Australia."
Simon saw Janet tease herself with the stem of the wizard of Oz, bite the woman's nose and get away with laughter.
A few jokes, Janet slightly padded her feet, bit Simon on his chin, and then loosened her arm around him: "over the pond, Moore keeps more and more ducks, so she wants to catch them and send them away."
"Oh."
Simon answered, feeling the strange tone of the woman, and then said, "let's continue to try on the clothes. You must also have something, right? Let me see if it's beautiful?"
Janet pushed him toward the door: "go, go, and don't be angry with Moore."
Simon couldn't help arguing as he walked: "I've always been a good policeman with my son?"
"Bang..."
Janet sniffed, too lazy to point someone out.
The pond on the northwest side of the shell villa is very lively. Simon came here. A group of waitresses are catching ducks with long poles and nets. Fortunately, although they can fly wild ducks, they have lost some instincts to a great extent because of their comfortable life in dumei Cape manor.
On the east side of the pond, a large and a small wild duck was loading into the cage. Seeing Simon approaching, Veronica, who was wearing a cowboy overalls and a sun visor, got up first. Melbourne also stood up, but took the lead in greeting: "good afternoon, Dad."
Simon nodded slightly, saw Veronica open her arms to herself, came forward and gently hugged her. After letting go, he took over a wild duck just held by a waitress and asked, "where are you going to send it?"
"In a park in San Francisco, my mother has agreed. Tomorrow I'll ask for leave to send the ducks with Nana. There will be no hunting there." Melbourne squatted next to Veronica and handed a pair of gloves with a little hospitality. After listening to his father's question, he took the initiative to explain. After a little hesitation, he asked, "Dad, do you want to go together?"
Simon put the duck in his hand into the cage. Then he picked up his gloves, put them on, shook his head and said, "I have to work."
Melbourne nodded his head and said "eh", then felt that the sound of EH was a little loud. He looked at his father with his spare light with a guilty heart. Fortunately, he was relieved that he was all right.
Veronica waited for the father and son to finish. While busy, she also said, "Ray said to let you go to Australia for Christmas. Did Jenny tell you?"
Then I remembered that there were more than two months before the end of the year, but think again, now the family has to arrange the schedule, which really needs to be ahead of schedule.
After that, the atmosphere fell into silence. Only the quack of the caught ducks. After a while, Simon spoke first and asked Veronica, "is the integration of Bihe smooth in Australia?"
"All countries have basically passed the review. This time I will go to New York and London to discuss the detailed merger details with the management of each subsidiary," Veronica said, and then said: "the memo on the development of the game industry you transferred to Australia has begun to be implemented."
Simon nodded and said, "in fact, I recently considered that in addition to games, Australia can also try to develop semiconductors."
"Lack of foundation."
"Australia will not encounter technology blockade, which is the biggest foundation. In terms of talents, we can set up special scholarships to attract local and overseas college students to invest in this field. Moreover, the fields involved do not need to be too comprehensive. Even if we specialize in only one direction, such as wafer foundry or memory chip, we will have no problem in becoming a pillar industry in the future. The most important thing is to make the best of it There's no need to worry about the market. Tingkobair can fully digest them. "
"In this case, I'll send an email back in the evening and let the other side do some research first."
Just then, Janet also came over, glanced at the harmonious appearance of the three people at the scene, put down her heart, leaned close to the cage, stretched out a thin finger, poked it in, said to the waitress next to her, "pick two fat ones and make roast duck at night," and looked at Wen Yanli's hard-working son: "come here, don't you entertain?"
Melbourne felt very reasonable and speechless.
Veronica said, "I don't eat roast duck."
"Or boiled?" Janet suggested again. She saw Veronica staring at her and spitting out her tongue: "well, don't eat, don't eat."
Then he went to his man: "what were you talking about just now?"
Simon said: "maybe we can also develop semiconductors in Australia."
Janet certainly knows the layout of Westeros system for many key technology industries. After thinking about it, she said: "in Australia, the key is talent and market."
Simon smiled: "a small country like Finland can develop a Nokia. The population of Australia is five times that of Finland. There is no reason why we can't do it. Moreover, we can also give enough resources."
"Then do it," Janet nodded and then said, "by the way, dad said let's stay over Christmas for a while."
"I already know."
Janet glanced at Veronica, didn't say any more, and began to join the fun to cage the ducks, but there was obviously more meaning to help.
Veronica was not idle. She only stayed here for two days and left Los Angeles the next afternoon.
At the same time, October 1998 was still lively.
First of all, danilis, as a box office dark horse released at the end of September, the sequel of happy death was soon put on the agenda.
Simon didn't promise.
The memory of "happy death day" has a sequel, but it is still the same routine, adding a reason that is still unable to justify the heroine's death cycle, which is basically a dog tail continuation.
Of course, Simon doesn't mind if he can make money.
The problem is still from the general direction of the whole Hollywood film industry. For that reason, Simon doesn't want to fill the big screen with too many sequels, so that Hollywood loses its creativity more and more.
It's a small thing.
In addition, it was quickly spread that danilis would invest heavily in the expansion of blockbuster.
Danilis is seeking to acquire blockbuster in an all-round way. This time is also a period of uproar, mainly due to the concerted obstruction of the industry, which makes the media see too many places to write. For example, Hollywood finally realized that danilis entertainment is too huge and began to rise up against it. Barbara.
However, many people ignore that even without absolute control, danilis entertainment has always controlled blockbuster.
If you want to win blockbuster this time, since it doesn't work to talk well with other parties, it's hard.
Expansion.
Simple and rough.
With the powerful content advantages of danilis entertainment, once blockbuster seeks more market share at any cost, other competitors simply have no power to resist.
When blockbuster's market share increases, it is conceivable that the surrounding channels of other studios will be more constrained, and the video tape revenue is almost the same as that of the cinema. At present, major studios simply can't imagine the result of blockbuster's monopoly of the market.
After a short wait-and-see, she found that danilis didn't mean to play tricks at all. After the news was announced, she directly began to select store sites in some core markets. The originally tough parties soon softened down.
It is expected to be fully negotiated in October.
In addition, it is still danilis entertainment. The annual financial report of fiscal year 1998 from October 1997 to September 1998 was officially released on Monday, October 19 in the middle of the month.
Danilis entertainment experienced rapid growth and large-scale mergers and acquisitions in previous years, especially after the revenue volume reached an amazing $40 billion or more. In the view of many people, the revenue growth of this media and entertainment giant will slow down significantly. After the last fiscal year, the industry generally predicted that the revenue growth of danilis in fiscal year 1998 will be significantly reduced to between 5% and 10%.
However, the final data exceeded expectations.
This is mainly due to the continuous growth of danilis game business, especially the continuous popular games, which has brought a large amount of revenue to danilis entertainment.
Finally, in fiscal year 1998, danilis Entertainment's annual revenue increased by 12.6% year-on-year to $47.1 billion. No accident, it is likely to exceed the $50 billion mark next year. At the same time, the annual net profit of danilis entertainment also reached a new high, reaching US $7.61 billion.
In my memory, the peak revenue volume of Disney around 2010 was only about $50 billion.
Danilis entertainment has reached the peak level of the former Hollywood bully Disney at least 10 years in advance. In fact, it is obvious that it only accounts for nearly half of the film business share in Hollywood. Now danilis has got rid of the former Disney.
In addition, danilis entertainment has successfully opened up a highly profitable video game business.
Just for the game business, Simon knows that continuing to develop and maintain the current strength is enough to support danilis's additional market value of $500 billion.
Therefore, not surprisingly, it is only a matter of time before the market value of danilis entertainment in the future exceeds the trillion dollar mark.
Of course it's still early.
However, stimulated by the bright financial report of danilis on October 19, the share price of danilis entertainment soared by 5.3% on that day, with a single day stock appreciation of more than $20 billion. At the close of Monday, the market value of danilis entertainment has reached $450.1 billion, continuing to lead the new York Stock Exchange. Throughout the entire North American stock market, it is also second only to igrit.
