Simon ended his meeting with Secretary of State Warren Christopher and flew directly to New York after breakfast.
Through last week's relentless retaliation against the mastermind behind the March assassination, Simon sent a warning to some people not to try to use unconventional means against the Westeros, or he would tit for tat.
The operation in Rwanda is also a demonstration of the capital strength of the westero system.
There are always people who think that the amount of money to a certain extent is just a series of numbers. Simon makes them feel what it means to have enough money.
Arriving in New York, the morning schedule is to meet with the heads of several well-established media groups.
In addition to the failure of the U.S. military action in Vietnam, another important reason why the Vietnam war once formed more and more turbulent waves of anti war in the United States is the complete failure of the federal government in the control of public opinion.
In the Gulf war three years ago, the Bush administration learned a good lesson from the Vietnam War. Relying on the excellent control and guidance of public opinion, the American government gained a great reputation through that war.
The failure of last year's operation in Somalia was met with a domestic one-sided Crusade, which led to the withdrawal of all U.S. troops in Somalia. It was also a major failure of the Clinton administration in terms of public opinion.
As a lesson from the past, even though he has occupied the moral commanding height, Simon still dare not take it lightly when the media all over the world turn their attention to Rwanda and thousands of journalists fly to Africa.
It has been proved too many times that in order to gain attention and gain newspaper sales or ratings, the media without integrity will never mind reversing black and white, or even rendering a just war as an evil invasion.
In order to avoid this situation as much as possible, the westero team in Rwanda has been collecting information since the outbreak of the Rwanda massacre. The theme of the Rwanda massacre released by igritte portal is only a small part of it. Now the vast amount of evidence in the hands of the westero system is enough to prove that the massacre of racism broke out in Rwanda in the past 10 days is 100% real.
Even if he has made sufficient preparations, Simon still needs to guard against the attempt of reversing black and white in the next period of time. This requires the cooperation of westrow system and other news media with wide social influence to jointly control and guide public opinion.
In addition, Simon has also equipped a special public relations team for the mercenary forces of the westero system in Rwanda, and formulated strict media regulations. All members of the mercenary forces are not allowed to accept media interviews without authorization, and the garrison is not allowed to accept Reporters without authorization. All actions of the forces will prevent the following reports of the media not designated by the westero system News will only be released regularly through the official media public relations team, and so on.
The real war will be in the charge of thousands of professional soldiers in Rwanda. For Simon, the control and guidance of media opinion is also a war, which he will personally lead.
Simon does not expect any return from this military action to stop the racist massacre, but he absolutely does not allow anyone to try to reverse and distort the justice of this action.
At noon, I accepted Rupert Murdoch's invitation to have dinner together. It was more than one o'clock in the afternoon after lunch.
In the afternoon, I went to Greenwich Village in Manhattan to deal with some business of danielis entertainment.
After submitting the prospectus, the next IPO related issues will be in the charge of Amy Pascal and other senior executives and cersei capital team, and Janet will also help to keep an eye on them. Simon doesn't need to worry too much, but Simon still needs to deal with many affairs of the group himself.
So busy until five o'clock in the afternoon, it's time to get off work. Girl a knocks on the door and begins to report some things Simon needs to know before getting off work: "boss, Kim Carrey's agent has just asked us to change the initial five contracts into three contracts."
Simon is writing his own comments on the budget document of "broken arrow" project, and without raising his head, he throws out a word: "no way."
Although the release of "detective plane head" on April 8 failed to win the recognition of media reviews, Kim Carey's exaggerated and unique comedy performance mode still won the favor of the audience as in the original time and space. In addition, Denise Entertainment's publicity of "detective plane head" is far more than ever, and the schedule is much better than the original cemetery schedule in February, which is only the first week In seven days, the revenue of the first painting of "detective plane head" reached 23.91 million US dollars, and the average weekly income of the museum was as high as 13 thousand US dollars, even exceeding the opening score of "Ninja Turtle 3" in Easter week.
Moreover, from April 15 to April 17, after rapidly increasing the number of screens from 1837 in the first week to 2315, even if the two-week Easter Spring break for American students generally ends and the film market returns to the cold, the three-day drop of "detective airplane head" in the next weekend is still only 23%, and it continues to earn $12.88 million. It is expected that the box office of the next week will be 18 million to 19 million Between US dollars.
Ten days after its release, the cumulative box office of "detective plane head" has reached $36.79 million.According to the ladder sharing contract signed by danielis entertainment and the cinema, danielis entertainment can take 90% of the box office share in the first two weeks, excluding the basic operating costs of the cinema, and actually get about 70% of the total box office. It will be reduced by 20% every two weeks until the lower limit of 30%.
Therefore, the $36.79 million box office revenue of "detective plane head" in only 10 days is enough to make Denise entertainment recover all the $15 million production cost and $10 million publicity investment, and begin to enter the box office profit period.
According to the next week's decline and audience feedback, the new world film publicity team predicted that "detective plane head" is likely to become the second local box office work of danielis entertainment to exceed 100 million yuan this year after the Valentine's day schedule "Four Weddings and a funeral".
The success of detective airplane even affected Ninja Turtle 3.
Due to the audience's attention shifting, Ninja Turtle 3's decline in the next week and three weeks exceeded expectations. Danielis entertainment had to reduce the total box office of the $60 million sequel in North America from $80 million to $60 million. Fortunately, Ninja Turtle 3's overseas box office performance is still good, and the company is still expected to release it only through global theaters On cost recovery and profitability.
Kim Carrey has been on the stage since the early 1980s. In the past, he could only play various roles in some films.
Now, with the 100 million yuan box office potential of detective airplane head, the club has leaped into the ranks of first-line stars. This comedian, who was once famous for his money addiction in history, is immediately restless and can't wait to try to amend the contract signed with Denise entertainment with a maximum of 5 million US dollars for five films.
Other Hollywood studios usually agree to amend some contracts in order to have a good relationship with each other and maintain follow-up cooperation after the sudden popularity of actors. However, Denise entertainment has never been used to the bad habit of stars.
Simon has always been a man who attaches great importance to contracts.
Moreover, if you agree to Kim Carey's request, DC movie universe has signed all the low pay long-term contracts, and the core actors are noisy, many projects will not be able to continue smoothly.
When a girl heard Simon's decision, she didn't explain it too much. She just wrote down her boss's decision in the memo, then took out an invitation from the folder and handed it to her: "also, boss, this is a pair invitation sent by elite President John Casablanca in the afternoon. He said that she will invite Ms. Graff to join us tonight."
George Graff, who was involved in planning Simon's assassination, was shot in the head last week, and his wife and daughter are not going well these days.
Originally, she was divorcing her husband. After George Graff was shot, Laura Graff instinctively felt the crisis. She hurriedly took out her hidden jewelry from a bank safe in Manhattan and planned to sell it. Then she took her two daughters to hide abroad.
Unfortunately, just as Laura Graff took out her jewelry and returned to her temporary apartment in the lower city, she was robbed.
Not only the jewelry worth millions of dollars, but also the slightly valuable clothes, bags and bags of Lara Graff's family were swept away by the robbers. The mother and daughter were destitute, and there was no time to wonder why the fierce robbers just tied them in the living room without robbing them. After Lara Graff reported the case to the police, she didn't know We don't have to face a very urgent livelihood problem.
Laura Graff clearly knows what her biggest asset is.
Although she is already 36 years old, with her excellent appearance and careful maintenance, few of the opposite sex who have had contact with her have been indifferent. Even though her possessive husband is very strict with her, Lara Graff is still keeping an ambiguous relationship with some elite men in Manhattan who are on a par with her husband.
This is the way she instinctively left for herself.
Now it's finally coming in handy.
Last Friday, Laura Graff took the initiative to invite a famous unmarried diamond man on Wall Street who has been thinking about her for so many years. Originally, she thought it would be easy to deal with the other person, and the manager of the Wall Street fund, who runs a portfolio fund with a larger scale than Graff's capital, also gladly went to the appointment.
However, only half of their dinner date lasted, and the Wall Street elite received a call that made him pale. His investors would redeem half of his $800 million fund. The person on the phone also warned the Wall Street elite that if the other side continued to have any involvement with Laura Graff, his fund would be closed next week And the whole Wall Street won't have a place for him.
Just a dinner time, his fund collapsed half, how the Wall Street fund manager did not understand exactly what happened. As if to feel that some eyes around are staring at themselves, and even the meal money is not settled, the Wall Street elite found a reason to get up and run away.
Stunned, Laura Graff had to pay for the expensive meal with the last bit of cash she raised from selling off her furniture.The news spread all over Manhattan.
Before the weekend was over, Mrs. Graff and her daughter had become the God of pestilence that the whole upper class of Manhattan was afraid to avoid. Even the social circle of Laura Graff's two daughters had completely closed the door to them. For the upper class in Manhattan, beauty is not a scarce resource, so no one would be stupid enough to ruin his fortune for three beautiful women who are blacklisted by some big names.
They are not smart, but they are not stupid. They don't know what they are going through from the reaction of people around them.
The first thing Laura Graff felt was fear.
She was worried that one day she would be shot in the head like her husband.
It's just that even if they want to escape now, it's impossible, because the last family of the mother and daughter were cleared in the last burglary, and the police have no clue at all. Now, their rent for next month is not available, let alone buying air tickets to fly to Europe for refuge.
As for other relatives, George Graff's parents have all passed away. The other side has a sister who lives in Michigan, but they haven't had much contact in recent years. Laura Graff's relationship with her husband and sister is not good either.
As for her mother's family, Laura Graff, who came from an ordinary farm family in Georgia, has three elder brothers.
In the early years, the relationship between Lara Graff and her mother's family was harmonious. When she was a child, her three brothers took care of her, the only girl in the family.
Until Laura Graff married George Graff.
George Graaff is not a generous person. Laura Graaff is more worried that a large family will ask for too much from her. Therefore, her relationship with her family has been cold since ten years ago in several money related disputes. After Laura Graaff's parents died one after another in these years, she voluntarily gave up her inheritance right in her parents' farm to protect her family This is a line with the three brothers.
Three years ago, my eldest brother's youngest son was admitted to Brown University, an Ivy League school, hoping that she could subsidize the tuition. At that time, her husband seldom let go and said yes, but Laura Graff instinctively refused because she didn't want her brother's children to be too promising. The nephew finally chose another ordinary university that could provide scholarships because he couldn't bear to bear hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans. The relationship between Laura Graff and her mother's family was also completely broken.
With no capital to escape and no family to turn to, Laura Graff can only stay in Manhattan with her two daughters.
Besides, we have to think about livelihood.
Once a model, Laura Graff knew that even though she was still beautiful, she could not go back to her old career in the fashion industry, so she paid attention to her two tall and beautiful daughters. Her husband firmly opposed her contact with her two daughters in the chaotic fashion circle. She also hoped that her two daughters would marry the noble son of the old Qian family and enter the upper class thoroughly in the future.
Now I don't care too much.
This time, I didn't expect that, just after a try, elite, the top modeling agency in the United States, gave a positive response, and the other side also wanted to sign their mother and daughter at one time.
Even though there are some doubts in her heart, even though elite's contract is obviously very harsh, Laura Graff, who has no way to go, still agrees. So the mother and daughter signed a contract with elite yesterday to become three models of this model agency.
Naturally, the circumstances of the three are the result of Simon's arrangement.
There are other things to do tonight, and Simon doesn't plan to see the mother and daughter in a short time. The wild cat he just caught will have to stay for a while to be tame.
What's more, Janet is also on the east coast. During the day, the woman went to Boston to discuss a merger project cersei capital has been promoting in recent months. At this time, she is probably on her way back to New York.
After shaking his head, Simon said to Alison, "tell John Casablanca that there is no need to arrange any activities for the three of them in recent months, including tonight's party. I think the agency should be most familiar with how to hide its artists."
Girl a nodded and reported some things. After simple handling, Simon left the east coast headquarters of Denise entertainment in Greenwich Village and took a helicopter to the manor in Greenwich, Connecticut. There was already a special military affairs team to contact with Rwanda waiting for Simon.
At breakfast, Simon told Warren Christopher that he had no habit of acting as a supporting actor. Therefore, during the day today local time, the mercenary troops of the westero system had carried out their first successful military operation according to their own plan.
