After the top three, Thanksgiving's fourth box office in the second week was also unexpected and expected. In the face of the pressure of three blockbusters, tea boy starring Adam Sandler still got $23.78 million in the first seven days of the first week.
Although the opening of the film screen with 2654 pieces failed to achieve the success of breaking 10000 in the sales level, considering the mediocre reputation of the film and the intensity of market competition, it was still beyond the expectations of both the media and the new world film publicity and distribution team in the early stage, but it was only within Simon's expectation.
You know, the tea boy once had a low reputation, but the local box office was $160 million.
However, Simon also understands that apart from Adam Sandler's appeal, on the one hand, it is the fixed market demand for comedy films, on the other hand, danilis is very strong in both publicity and channels.
Even so, in the first week, with the popcorn attribute of the film, the local box office can finally reach half of the 80 million level, which is already a success.
After all, it's still those two words.
Inner roll.
Then, the fifth place on the list is the New York gangster. The long-term trend expected by a few fans failed to appear. The box office of the film fell as much as 47% the next week, earning $16.57 million. In two weeks, the cumulative box office of Martin Scorsese's gangster film was $47.99 million.
Regular, not warm and not fire.
In addition to the top five, the other two new films "all-round siege" and "love about this life" last week basically withdrew from the competition of gratitude. There is no need to say more.
In addition, it is worth mentioning the Annabel 2 of the Halloween file. After a 47% drop last week, the box office decline of Thanksgiving week narrowed again, well controlled to 29%. The film continued to earn $9.77 million, with a cumulative box office of $87.06 million, steadily moving towards the threshold of $100 million.
Then, the new box office week opened on November 27, because it occupied the popular Thanksgiving weekend, three new films were painted again, but after all, Thanksgiving has passed, and there is no heavyweight film worth mentioning this time. The premiere of the three new films in advance failed to splash any water, basically a large number of blockbusters in the previous two weeks divided the market.
New York, long island.
In the coming week, the first snow of this winter fell in the big apple area. The snow in the urban area is not thick, but it is wrapped in silver in East Hampton, and the temperature has dropped below zero.
It was Sunday afternoon, November 29.
In a manor villa near the sea in the southwest of East Hampton, Simon came to have lunch with Nancy Brill, who also flew from the west coast yesterday, and then went to the master bedroom on the second floor covered with sunny snow and winter sunshine to do something he loves to do.
Until more than two o'clock in the afternoon.
The small female executive is sure of the day, about wanting a child.
According to Nancy's request, Simon had mentioned to Janet in advance and got the "official" permission. He came here today and asked for a leave. Of course, the small female executive is actually a little worried about Janet's guilty attitude. Simon didn't say anything about asking for leave. He joked that he ran out secretly and fought wisely.
There was no habit of smoking afterwards. After that, Simon leaned against the head of the bed, turned over most of an economist magazine, looked at the little woman still lying in the quilt, stretched out his hand, stroked the rosy child's pretty face, and asked softly, "do you want to take a bath?"
Nancy didn't speak, just put her little head down, shook her head and pressed the man's big hand under her head.
Simon let the woman pillow her palm, turned over the economist in front of her again, and then said, "if you don't turn over, it's not big. Be careful to flatten it?"
Nancy stared at someone, but this time she was not indifferent and climbed up Simon's body.
Simon reached out to take the little female executive into his arms and carefully pulled up the quilt to wrap her.
Nancy felt the consideration of the men around her. She paused and said, "you'll go back to Manhattan later."
Simon changed a copy of Barron weekly from the bedside table, opened it again and said casually, "no, I'm here with you tonight."
Nancy looked at the magazine in the man's hand with her. Her mind was obviously not on it. She insisted, "you'd better go back. I don't want Jenny to know."
"Don't worry, Jenny won't know."
Nancy thought of something, turned her mouth, raised her head on the man's chest and looked up: "how do you argue with Jenny when you don't go home at night?"
"I drove home and encountered a tornado."
"And was taken to Oz?"
"Yes, I managed to escape."
"Didn't you bring Jenny a pair of ruby shoes as a gift?"
"Yes, it's still wine red. Jenny likes wine red best."
Nancy reached out and grabbed a thick arm in front of her and put it on her mouth. Of course, she was not willing to exert herself. She opened her mouth, looked at the shallow tooth marks on it and said again, "I know. Jenny must have known I'm coming, so you must go back."
Simon lowered his head and put his chin on the woman's head: "are you so afraid of Jenny?"
Nancy tilted her head and couldn't escape. She had to let the man press and hesitated before she said, "Jenny and I are good friends. I don't want her to think I'm going to fight for anything from her."
"What a friend, you know, Jenny doesn't care."
“……”
Simon patted the woman in his arms across the quilt: "that's it, baby, there's no need to think more. Be careful to think too much. You'll get prenatal depression."
Nancy little tooted her mouth, but she didn't insist anymore. She changed the topic and looked sharp: "how many women have you called 'baby'?"
"Very few, just you."
Nancy firmly did not believe: "liar!"
"Of course," Simon said with a smile, "I lied to you."
"Sweet words."
"To cheat a woman, of course, you have to use sweet words." Simon said, with a deliberately proud tone: "I'm so rich that I can get a girl with one look. In this way, I'm willing to use sweet words, which shows that I'm a very dedicated playboy."
Nancy was speechless again and silently pulled someone's arm over again.
This time, he made a little effort and persisted for a while until the man shouted pain cooperatively, and finally let him go.
This was followed by a minute long cold war.
When the man turned a few pages of Barron weekly, Nancy finally said, "don't you have a Chinese dance team here? I also want to watch dancing?"
Simon nodded, "OK."
Nancy blinked. "Aren't they performing in Singapore now?"
Simon smiled and kissed the woman's soft hair. "Do you want to see it?"
Nancy is depressed.
I can't say that I just want to make it difficult for you. Your normal reaction should be refusal?
Simon saw that the woman didn't speak, and then said, "there are people left here, if you really want to see it?"
Guofeng Art Troupe started another global tour with the theme of "Tang Yun" in the previous autumn. This round of performances is much shorter than last year. It's not that the performance is not successful enough and no one sees it, but Simon doesn't plan to let too many people see it. After all, for art, you have to hold it many times, so the number of shows in various countries and cities has been greatly reduced.
Due to the reputation accumulated in last year's performance and Simon's deliberate hunger marketing, this tour is more difficult to find a ticket everywhere.
Up to now, the tour in North America, Europe and Australia has ended and is currently in Asia. It is expected to end completely before Christmas. At that time, the girls will either visit their relatives in China or return to North America for Christmas.
Moreover, after the first batch of girls from Guofeng Art Troupe, some people have left in recent years, and new people have been adding in.
At present, the residence of Guofeng Art Troupe is left behind by some newcomers added this year. Although they are newcomers, they are also carefully selected dancers. Their dancing ability is absolutely top-notch.
On the big bed.
Since all the men said so, Nancy certainly couldn't show her timidity and nodded decisively, "it depends."
Simon glanced at the small and medium-sized woman's expression, reached out to the side, took his mobile phone, dialed the housekeeper's number, simply explained, hung up the line, and said to Nancy, "they are very close to here. Come right away. Let's take a bath first?"
In fact, Nancy didn't want to leave the man's arms, but the matter had been settled. It was not good to continue. Just, she said with a slight red face: "don't... Take a bath, maybe, wash it off?"
Simon held back his smile. What's the idea?
He got up directly and picked up the woman's petite body: "let's be careful, and we can continue at night."
Nancy subconsciously put her arms around Simon's neck, noticed the smile around his mouth, and wanted to bite people angrily. Unfortunately, she obviously couldn't do it at the moment. She could only scold with some little fear: "you barbarian."
Because of the little woman's concern, they didn't take a bath, but took a shower together.
Half an hour later, the two men, who were both home casual clothes, walked out of the bedroom. Nancy didn't wear high heels and took a man's arm. The height difference made her feel more like a little girl, so she couldn't help looking for a topic to divert her attention: "I saw the news of your stock exchange plan. What are you going to do?"
Simon said succinctly, "break the whole into parts."
Nancy suddenly thought of one thing: "or to prepare for the inheritance of family assets?"
"When you say that, I find it beneficial," Simon took Nancy to the stairs and said, "but it's not this. It's a reorganization of the assets of the whole Westeros system. Now it's just the beginning, and it may take many years to complete."
Now Nancy doesn't understand.
Said that he had come downstairs, and Simon made a later look.
The housekeeper in charge of the manor came up and brought five or six young girls with Asian faces. They entered the room and took off their coats. All six girls only wear close fitting bottoms and tight pants. Even if they stand still, they can give people a slim and graceful feeling of professional dancers.
In fact, Nancy occasionally rubbed against Janet Dongfeng and saw these Chinese girls dancing more than once. However, at this moment, she looked at a group of attractive water girls in front of her. Even if she understood men's preference for women, she instinctively had some fear and could not help regretting.
I don't want to show it.
Simon was keenly aware that the little woman around him was holding her arm tightly. He wanted to say a few words to these girls, so he just gave up and directly said to the villa woman manager: "let them change their clothes. Tang Yun's theme starts with flying dance."
The housekeeper promised. Seeing that the host took the little female executives around him to one side of the corridor, she turned around and ordered a group of girls who were obviously disappointed in their expression. She also took out a telephone and called other waitresses in the villa to help.
Simon has seen dance here before. There is a special performance hall of more than 200 square meters on the first floor of the villa.
Taking the small female executive to the performance hall, Simon took the initiative to return to the topic just now: "I intend to operate the Westeros system as a country. You know, if a country wants stability, it must have a reasonable industrial structure. The current situation is that most of the core enterprises of the Westeros system belong to the tertiary industry, which is obviously unreasonable. Therefore, I need to transfer to the primary and secondary industries."
Simon said this, and Nancy quickly took back her thoughts. She was also very smart to detect why men took the initiative to say this, and she was not tangled. After thinking for a while, she said, "you said that the volume of companies like igrit will be very large in the future. It will be a loss to abandon the shares of these companies and turn to basic industries."
"It's just that it's not cost-effective on the book," Simon shook his head. "If I don't do this, either igrit or danilis can only control one company. Moreover, it's only the value on the book and can't give full play to the influence of the wealth represented by those stocks."
"I see," Nancy said with some clarity this time. "However, although I saw that the response of all parties was very positive after the news was released, the scale of assets on your side is too large, and it should not be so easy to replace."
"Yes, so I just said that it may be a project that needs to last for many years."
Nancy shook her head slightly: "I mean, the asset value on your side is too high. Even if you want to change, in other aspects, neither enterprises nor individuals can take out too many assets. Even if they have enough shares to affect the control of the enterprise, no one will be willing to give up?"
"This is really a problem," Simon nodded. "But still that sentence, I have enough time, ten or twenty years. During this period, I will continue to cash out funds directly. Be patient and always be able to complete the layout I envision."
With that, they came to the door of the performance hall.
A waitress was already preparing in advance. Seeing Simon appeared, he took the initiative to greet him. He watched the host sit down on the sofa under the stage with his girlfriend, took the initiative to ask for some needs, and then withdrew.
When the two waitresses left, Nancy leaned against the man and looked around, and finally asked, "well, when you finish the layout, then?"
"Oh, then, the next layout," Simon waved around the woman's small waist, leaned on the sofa, raised his legs, and looked a little heroic in his laziness. "The universe is big enough, baby. As long as we don't lose our fighting spirit and don't feel old, we will certainly have enough goals for us to conquer."
