The villa is a three-layer three-dimensional modern style building. The main body of the white building seems to be the superposition of many cuboids, full of modern feeling.
Simon took the female assistant to walk in the villa. They came to the terrace on the third floor. The female assistant leaned against the railings and looked at the sea. Simon naturally put his arms around her waist and asked, "how about it?"
"That's good," said the female assistant, turning her face to Simon and pointing to a row of luxury houses on the west side, "have you bought all these?"
"Yes, how about it?"
"There has been a lot of media criticism of your extravagance in recent years," said Jennifer
"I don't care what people say. I just do what I want to do."
In fact, the female assistant didn't care. She didn't even advise Simon to stop or use the money for public welfare. From the first meeting to becoming his child's mother at this time, she unconsciously watched him step by step and created such a big business empire. She felt that she was still the anonymous girl who secretly put down $10 when listening to him singing on the Venice Beach.
Until now, I just want to stand beside him in silence forever.
No matter how outsiders, no matter what he does, she will always be the one on his side.
I noticed that the female assistant in my arms looked to the east side of the Bay, and Simon followed. There was the coastal line of Santa Monica: "what are you looking at?"
"I suddenly remember when I first met you," said Jennifer
Then he remembered that he still didn't know about the original videotape, and he didn't want to let him know. He wanted to be a little secret in his heart forever.
Simon hugged the assistant's waist and said with a smile, "did you secretly fall in love with me when you first met?"
Remembering that it was actually their second meeting, Jennifer said with a little teasing, "do you mean the guy who was beaten into the hospital at that time?"
"Well, let's change the subject."
"Ha ha," the female assistant laughed, looked at the time and said, "let's go back. It's time for the children to wake up."
Two people return to shell villa, a girl just returned from outside, also brought a pair of scroll back.
The female assistant first went to the baby room to see two little guys. The children were still sleeping, so she came out to enjoy the scroll brought back by Alison with Simon.
This is a Chinese painting.
It is nearly three meters long and one meter five wide. On it is a magnificent picture of the ancient war. Tens of thousands of ancient soldiers fight hard in the vast battlefield. On the right side of the banner is written in cursive script Cao song's Ji Hai Sui.
At the beginning, I just asked girl a to find someone to write down Cao song's poem.
Later, I felt that the thin volume of the poem was a little pale, so I gave orders at will and got the painting.
The painter's skill is very deep. The female assistant doesn't know the poem on the right side of the painting, but she can't restrain the cruel war picture of status and feels slightly suffocated. Involuntarily, he took Simon's arm and whispered, "I don't like this painting."
Simon patted on the back of the assistant's hand, motioned to the four women who were showing the huge painting carefully and said, "put it away and put it in the showroom."
Then he said to the female assistant, "let's go and have a look at the children."
At the end of the day, Jennifer looks at the painting that Alison and her four are carefully rolling up. She nods and follows Simon to the baby room. After thinking about it, she still doesn't ask.
Simon didn't explain.
With David Dinkins losing 41% to 59% in the mayoral election to Rudy Giuliani on November 1, some things have been settled temporarily.
Of course, there is a follow-up.
Now that he has decided to crack down on the entire city government cabinet of David Dinkins, Simon has no intention of stopping.
The westrow system tends to be on the Democratic Party's side, but if anyone takes this for granted, or even assumes no responsibility, this incident will be a clear warning.
Maybe there will be some discord between the two sides, and Simon doesn't care.
If Simon didn't make a strong enough layout at the first time after David Dinkins suddenly turned over, he believed that a lot of follow-up small moves would surely come in droves.
In this world, the more high-ranking people are, the more they like to weigh. Sometimes, this is a sign of weakness in the eyes of the enemy.
Simon did not hesitate to directly turn over with the Speer family behind the iron lion gate, or even to turn over with the Democratic Party, which made many people realize his personality. In his heart, westero did not turn to peace because of the increase of wealth and power. He was still the madman who could break other people's legs without hesitation.
Even, considering the gang fight in Barry Bay, a young man seems to be more crazy.
For this kind of person, if you are not sure of winning, playing with small moves will only outweigh the gain.Janet picked up cersei capital again. After the weekend, Simon began to work again.
While many Hollywood filmmakers are still lamenting the unexpected box office results of seven sins, the Lion King shocked everyone again this past weekend.
Before the release of a 3D animated film, most of the media believed that the key to the investment lies in the potential peripheral income of 3D animated film.
Denise entertainment is probably not going to make any profit at the box office.
You know, in addition to the $400 million box office of Toy Story two years ago, the sales volume of peripheral toys of the film has exceeded $3 billion in the last two years. Taking into account the film's video and TV broadcast income, the net profit brought by the whole project for Denise entertainment has reached $1 billion, most of which comes from the sales of peripheral toys.
What's more, "Toy Story" brings danielis entertainment more than just money. The success of this film not only breaks Disney's long-standing monopoly on animated films, but also drives the development of danielis Entertainment's peripheral, game, theme park and other whole industry chain.
Therefore, this time the lion king, in the eyes of many people, is only the further layout of Denise entertainment in the whole industry chain.
According to the "Curse of sophomores" phenomenon in Hollywood, whether a filmmaker or a studio, after the first movie is amazing, the second movie produced is often much worse than before.
Even some media predict that the lion king, an animated film without fairy tale popularity, is still a partial animal theme. If the local box office can exceed 100 million, it is already a success. Denise entertainment is likely to end up losing money and earning a living this time.
Because he didn't take "the lion king" as a threat, there were as many as six films on November 19. Although there are three award-winning films, there are also two blockbuster films due at the end of the year. They are "my fair dad" starring Robin Williams by Fox and "gronemo" by Columbia Pictures.
Simon's local box office of "my fair dad" is more than 200 million US dollars, which is second only to "Jurassic Park" in 1993.
"Gronemo", produced by Columbia Pictures, tells the story of a hero named gronemo who rebelled against the British rulers during the American Independent War. The budget of the film reaches 35 million US dollars, which is the same A-level production level.
Simon doesn't have much of gronemo in his mind, which is obviously one of Peter Cooper's expensive box office duds. After months of auditing, Sony finally announced a $2.5 billion write down for Columbia Pictures.
Write down of assets is actually a loss in disguise.
Although the loss of $2.5 billion is less than $200 million in Simon's memory, it should not be underestimated.
After the news was released, Sony's stock price has declined for more than a month, and its market value has even returned to less than $15 billion. The news that Sony plans to get rid of this hot potato has been constantly spread in the circle.
Although in the mire, Colombia has prepared 1605 screens for "gronemo" and 1678 screens for Robin Williams' my fair father. Although both films can't reach the opening level of 2691 for "the lion king", they also pose an obvious threat to "the lion king", especially "my fair father" 》It's a family movie.
Denise entertainment opened the Lion King's media reputation after its premiere on November 17.
Because the media participating in the premiere ceremony were selected in advance, the first wave of media reviews of "Lion King" was almost a one-sided praise, and there were a lot of soft or hard propaganda boredom on the Internet platform.
However, even if it's officially on a large scale on Friday, many people don't think the box office of "Lion King" will be very good.
Until Saturday.
When countless media reporters and film company executives were woken up by the phone at one or two o'clock on Saturday morning and saw the box office data report of the previous day, many people's first reaction was even "is there a mistake?"
16.33 million US dollars on the first day.
First day.
Is this still a cartoon?
Igritte portal is the first time to respond, directly put the "Lion King" box office data on the first day of the portal home page.
"A new box office record for animated films, the Lion King's first day was $16.33 million."
The box office on the first day was $16.33 million. What's the concept?
It's clear by comparison.
The box office of "my fair dad", which was released in the same period, was only $5.31 million on the first day, and it is expected that the first day of "Lion King" will reach the level of the first day of "Lion King" in three days by the end of the first week. Another film, gronemo, had only $1.29 million at the box office on the first day, less than one tenth of the lion king.Meanwhile, the first day's box office is $16.33 million, which means that the Lion King's first weekend box office is about $50 million, and the first week's box office is expected to reach $70 million.
The first week was $70 million, which is the same level as the DC movie universe project.
Two years ago, the box office of toy story in North America was 211 million US dollars, which surprised everyone. At that time, the box office in the first week and seven days was only 46.73 million US dollars.
Denise Entertainment's large-scale promotion of "the lion king" has already made the film very well-known.
Although a large part of the traditional print media keep a rather cool news on the box office of the first day of the film, the topic of "the lion king" soon reaches a higher level under the publicity of igritte portal and the media close to westero system.
Originally, both word-of-mouth and popularity have been excellent. Coupled with the gimmick of breaking the box office record, "Lion King" unconsciously attracted more multimedia into the cinema, and quickly formed a phenomenal viewing boom.
16.33 million US dollars on the first day.
$18.29 million on Saturday.
$17.31 million on Sunday.
In three days, the cumulative box office of "Lion King" quickly reached 51.93 million US dollars.
The same animated film box office record.
In the face of the impact of "the lion king", the box office of "my fair dad" was still good on the first day. The box office of "the lion king" was only $13.76 million in the three days of the first weekend. Conservatively, the box office of "the lion king" was suppressed by at least $2 million.
Simon knows better that this kind of repression spans the two major periods at the end of the year.
The target group of "my fair father" is the same as that of "Lion King", and they are all family members. This time, with the better choice of "Lion King", the box office of "my fair father" is bound to shrink greatly.
No matter how hard the traditional media try to stir up some controversy, attacking "the lion king" is imitating Disney style, criticizing the film for being suspected of hidden racial discrimination and so on, it can not stop the phenomenal 3D animated film from breaking through.
Finally, during the first seven days of the first week from November 19 to November 25, the cumulative box office of the Lion King reached US $70.31 million, second only to US $72.17 million in the first week of Jurassic Park, US $72.86 million in the first week of flash, and six films including Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman: the moment of war and Batman: The Dark Knight, ranking the first in North American film history No. 7 at the box office.
DC movie universe has been classified as another dimension by Hollywood. Jurassic Park has also brought too much visual shock to the audience. The success of these movies can be traced.
As a cartoon, it can only be described as a miracle if it can be juxtaposed with a series of phenomenal movies.
With the box office sales of lion king, Denise Entertainment's more and more perfect peripheral sales channels also quickly put the toys, posters, clothing and other products related to the film to the market. According to the preliminary statistics, the revenue in the first week reached US $200 million. Ultimately, because of the type of theme, this achievement is not as good as toy story, which has more abundant peripheral products But at this time, no one dare to question the business prospects of the lion king.
In addition, after the box office of the first week, the Lion King related video games and theme park projects have entered the preliminary planning stage all the way.
