Simon returned to Los Angeles on November 6, already Friday.
Tomorrow is the official day of the show.
In the past few days, igrit's main development plans for next year have been finalized, mainly the further deepening of its core products.
In order to increase the recognition of its products, after Amazon, igritte will officially launch its two registered sub brands, Google and Facebook.
Google is naturally involved in the search engine business.
With the exponential growth of Internet sites, the content of cyberspace has increased significantly, and the role of search engine has become more and more obvious. Coupled with Simon's special attention, this network tool has been specially divided.
The latest Internet Explorer to be launched will also add a Google specific search box next to the address bar.
Another example of Facebook is social networking.
Of course, the new version of Facebook is definitely different from Simon's memory. Considering the current network environment, the upcoming separate Facebook business is more inclined to the microblog in Simon's memory, with celebrities and superstars as the traffic guide.
Simon also put forward the auxiliary plan of igritt portal to create a batch of "Internet celebrities".
Depending on the resources of the whole westero system, it's easy to do this.
In addition, with the establishment of the Facebook sub brand, the personal homepage and microblog, which have been split up, will be further divided into two products.
Personal home page will gradually develop to personal column, mainly providing information content for igrit portal.
As for Facebook, the core is social.
In addition to Google and Facebook, Amazon's e-commerce business will also start further expansion. It is expected to increase video sales and movie peripheral sales early next year.
It's obvious that there is a competition with blockbuster around the video tapes and movies, but Simon didn't stop it.
Amazon's business expansion is inevitable.
At this stage, in addition to books, the video tape with fixed type and format is also a very suitable product for sale through the network platform.
Around the film, it relies on the resources support of westrow system in Hollywood.
If Amazon gives up these two businesses because of its fear of competition with blockbuster, there will inevitably be no other competitors in the future.
Simon very much agrees with a business philosophy of Steve Jobs in his memory: it's better to eliminate himself than to be eliminated by others.
A lot of old business tycoons just can't get rid of themselves by themselves, and that's the end of the story.
The most typical is the original time line of blockbuster. In order to avoid the erosion of offline leasing business, blockbuster even gave up the opportunity to develop online business and finally went bankrupt.
Naifei is just the opposite of blockbuster. After taking the lead in online leasing, Naifei is not as complacent as blockbuster. Aware of the trend of streaming media industry, Nafi's senior management, regardless of the possible severe impact of streaming media business on physical online leasing, resolutely carried out transformation and finally became a media giant side by side with Disney.
Therefore, Simon doesn't intend to interfere in the competition between Amazon and blockbuster as long as they don't engage in a price war or adopt other indecent means. In fact, he still has an encouraging attitude.
The Internet industry is exploding rapidly, because it slows down when it takes the lead. As a result, it will only be surpassed.
The competitive pattern of Amazon and blockbuster can also urge both sides to develop rapidly in operation, technology and other aspects, so as to avoid laziness.
Carol Bartz is responsible for the Internet infrastructure services related business. Next year's development focus is still cloud computing.
Although it has been successfully applied to support igrit portal products, there is still a lot of room for improvement in cloud computing technology.
The next goal of igritte's cloud computing technology team is to further get rid of IBM and other server equipment suppliers in terms of hardware, directly purchase chips, hard disks and other equipment from the bottom hardware manufacturers such as Intel and Seagate, and design and assemble proprietary data centers on their own, which can greatly reduce the construction cost of data centers. Igritte's cloud computing technology team The level can also get more permissions, which is convenient to design the most suitable software system.
The presidential election has clearly had an impact on the North American box office in the week from October 30 to November 5.
However, in the first week of the project, the midnight bell, released by danielis entertainment on Halloween, still achieved a very good box office result, with a revenue of $28.79 million in seven days and an average of $12000 in the museum, reaching the sales level.
In comparison, the box office of the horror film "sugar man" released by Samsung, a Columbia subsidiary, in the same period was only 5.19 million US dollars in the first week. Although this film, which tries to follow the "ghost Street" series, is not a box office fiasco, it did not meet the studio's expectation. It is expected that the total box office in North America will be about 10 million US dollars.
On November 6, there was only one new movie in North American Theaters, passenger 57, a hijacking crime action movie produced by Warner Bros., starring Wesley Snapes, the black movie star who originally starred in the blade series on the time line. Basically, although the scene is moved to the plane, the film is obviously still based on Bruce Willis's "die hard" series.Simon doesn't have much information about passenger 57 in his memory. What he pays attention to is the midnight bell.
The original Japanese version of "midnight bell" is a phenomenal movie in Japan. This time, we skip the Japanese version and directly develop the American version. Although Simon adopts the plot structure of the American version in his memory, he still prefers to refer to the Japanese version in terms of lens and soundtrack. Therefore, the lens of evil spirits drilling out of the TV has become the focus of many audiences Classic horror scene.
In the first week, 28.79 million US dollars. With the film's reputation, it's easy for the new version of "the bell at midnight" to break 100 million US dollars. As for how high it can go, it depends on the subsequent box office curve.
The Japanese have always had the dream of marching into North America in all aspects. The box office sales of the novel midnight bell, adapted from the Japanese novel, have caused a wave of public opinion upsurge in Japan. Danielis entertainment originally had the opportunity to release "midnight bell" in Japan at the same time. After all, it is a film adapted from a Japanese novel.
However, what we want is the "pride" of the Japanese after the success of the film. Therefore, the distribution team decided to wait for the release of "midnight bell" before the Japanese release.
The North American market has always been closed, and there are only a few Japanese films that can sell well in North America. In the original plan, as long as the North American box office of "midnight bell" can exceed 50 million US dollars, it will be enough to attract strong attention from the Japanese market. Now, the box office of the film in North America is expected to exceed 100 million, and even make it into the top ten of the annual box office list in North America. Then, the next big sale in Japan can be even more expected. Universal studios are designing the theme parks team of Osaka Universal Studios. After the launch of the box office at the first weekend of midnight, the
decided to join the "ghost house" in the ghost house of Osaka Universal Studios.
Simon had been informed of the box office information of "midnight bell" in advance. When he returned to Los Angeles, he went directly to the Dorothy Chandler theater in the center of the city.
The Weimi show will be held tomorrow evening, and today is just the last rehearsal.
Not only Simon, but also Leslie Wexley, chairman of Ltd, and grace Nichols, CEO of Weimi, came to watch the rehearsal.
The interior of Chandler theater has been transformed into a 20 meter long T-stage, which is mainly distributed on both sides of the T-stage. The lighting, seats and even some scenes matching each main body in the theater hall have been set.
Of course, what attracts everyone's attention most is a group of "big goblins" ready to go.
People who have seen the final shape of the angel of Vimy under Simon's personal guidance almost always have an idea in their mind: amazing.
in the original space and time, the first few shows in 90s were completely described by the dirt. The models wore very conservative underwear and wore no standard lipstick and blush as if they had just escaped from the ravines.
Simon, this time, directly promoted the Vimy show to the level of maturity after 2000.
Gorgeous underwear, stunning shape, colorful wings and the top group of models in the fashion circle.
Of course, in the final analysis, it's the effect of 10 million dollars.
Backstage of the theater, this big show is related to his future in Hollywood. In front of him, a large group of Yao Jing can only watch but can't eat. Michael Bay, who has been working hard for this big show for several months, has shown a bit of "tyrant" atmosphere. He orders all units to wait in front of the headset. When the deputy director himself says he can start, he stands in a whole row backstage Michael Bay, behind the monitor, just started shouting.
The music starts.
Until the last moment, in order to keep secret, music is still just a form of music.
However, as everyone knows, the first hit song is called "angels", with the theme of "psychedelic angels".
Simon's memory of vicetone's "angels" in the opening, rather than the song "paradise", is mainly to rely on this very strong rhythm dance music to ignite the atmosphere of the scene for the first time.
For this big show, the expectation of the outside world has reached the highest.
If the audience's long-awaited emotion is not aroused in the opening, the final effect of the show will be difficult to achieve perfection.
In the hall, there are only a few people in the stands, such as Simon, Wexner and grace Nichols. When the music comes to mind, the people who are talking stop talking and look at the catwalk together.
In the dynamic opening music, the lighting is mainly red.
The theme of Psychedelic angel is not the white in people's inherent impression, but the luxurious gold.
Cindy Crawford, as the opening angel, was the first to step on the stage.
White underwear, gold accessories, along the two arms attached to a white feather wings.
As for angel wings, Simon doesn't rigidly and simply adopt people's stereotyped wing modeling. Cindy Crawford's opening dress is actually the modeling of Giselle bonchen in Simon's memory at the opening of the 2006 Vermeer show, just like a proud and wild Golden Angel.Different from the common graceful steps of models in this era, Cindy goes out of the scissors step with a strong sense of power and rhythm along with the music rhythm.
The first theme is that the original angel costume design draft that Simon personally finalized is only Cindy's, and the rest is played by the designers of Weimi. However, when Naga olman joined in, Simon was inspired by Naga olman's golden style design similar to Nordic goddess in a walk show in memory, and made a second set by himself.
Different from the shape in my memory, Naga Allman's Angel Dress adopts a hollow out design, which can reveal the underwear of Weimi brand. This is necessary, but for the audience, the most impressive thing is definitely the girl's two crazy long legs.
When Naga Allman appeared in the second half of the theme, even Leslie Wexner beside Simon couldn't help but brighten his eyes. Thinking of the young man's "leg spirit" around him, Wexner immediately gave up some thoughts, but enviously said to Simon, "this girl is the last one to join. I think she's excellent?"
Simon explained: "it's just that the angel costume is amazing and fits the theme very well. Najia's own style is still high-end fashion, lacking the soft and charming feeling needed by the Weimi show. "
Leslie Wexner, however, disagreed and said with a smile: "I think this set of angel costume will definitely become the most memorable one for the audience on this show."
Simon nodded about it, too.
At the same time, next year, it is mainly the perfect combination of the model and the angel costume that produces this amazing effect. If a model is changed to wear this suit, or if she is changed to another angel suit, it is probably not easy to achieve this level.
The emergence of classics is often a combination of many factors.
The first theme came to an end quickly, and everything went well and perfectly.
After a short rest, the second theme soon began.
Love in heaven.
Naturally, the theme song is paradise.
The first one is strong, the second one is slow and relaxed.
Moreover, although it does not have the very strong sense of rhythm of angels, the overall tune of Paradise still matches the atmosphere of the show, which is suitable for the model to visit.
Five themes, five openings, five Vermeer Angel spokesmen, one chance for each.
This is Stephanie Seymour.
In fact, the opening and closing are the embodiment of the reputation of fashion models.
This time, the five themes, the five opening and closing, especially the opening and closing of the first theme and the fifth theme, have experienced some overt and covert struggles. In order to avoid a group of goblins tearing too much, Simon finally came out in person and arranged 10 opening and closing places.
The second theme, the biggest feature is crystal and sequins, accompanied by lighting, gives the audience a sense of paradise.
In the audience, just after watching these two themes, Leslie Wexley has confirmed that the show to be held tomorrow night will be a brand watershed level success for Vimy.
