Christmas Eve.

After the Christmas Eve reunion, it was supposed to be a party night. There was neither a party nor an invitation to other people's parties in the villa of the Westeros.

In the evening, Sophia specially called her daughter back to the next room.

So it's just the Westeros.

After dinner, the female assistant took the initiative to take care of the three children. Simon and Janet hid in a living room on the second floor, turned off the light and hugged on the sofa together. The TV on one side was on, and the sound was very small. But through the French windows, we could see the city sky far and near. From time to time, there were clumps of brilliant fireworks, accompanied by the sound.

Ordinary people need to rush in during the festival to revel freely, enjoy big meals and arrange travel. For people at the top of the pyramid, as long as they want, this is life.

So the festival is no longer special.

Some of them stick to the man's chest foolishly. Janet looks at another cluster of fireworks just exploding out of the window and suddenly says, "little boy, do you remember that we met Janet and Simon. Her eyes are more colorful. Then she gently shakes off the man's big hand holding her face and sticks it to his chest, saying softly:" little boy, I said, I just want to hug him It's enough to have you. You're still free. You don't need to be hindered by me, and you don't need to care what other people think. "

Knowing that Janet was referring to Sophia's pregnancy, Simon just whispered, "thank you."

After a moment of silence, Janet volunteered, "little boy, have you ever forgotten the dream we said on your 19th birthday?"

Simon nodded: "No

During that birthday, Simon was in Arizona to help Katherine shoot blood corpse night. Janet drove to the visiting class and took him out alone. She said a lot of irrelevant words and dreams.

It's a little hard to destroy the world.

So I decided to rule the world first.

Janet looked up again and said with a smile, "before, I thought dreams were just dreams. Unexpectedly, there was a day when I was getting closer to my goal."

Simon also laughed and said, "now I think it's less difficult to destroy the world. It's very troublesome to rule the world."

"As long as we work together, it will come true."

"And then," Simon asked

Janet is not puzzled by this philosophical question: "then, there will always be a next goal. The universe is so big and we are so small. Except death, no one can reach the end where we can't find a goal."

Simon stroked the woman's soft blonde hair and said with a smile, "let's work together."

"Well."

After a moment of silence, Janet quickly said, "little boy, you just recited the Old Testament as if you were reading a poem. Will you read it to me?"

"Good."

Simon nodded and thought for a moment. Tagore's "life is like summer flowers" sounded in the room.

*I hear you.

*I hear music, from the moonlight and the carcass

* like bait, capturing the ethereal.

*Intense, pure.

*There are always memories running through the world

* I believe

* I believe that life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet as autumn leaves

* it is not prosperous and chaotic, and its posture is like smoke

*

At the door of the room, Jennifer holds little Nick, who is only willing to sleep peacefully because of the sound of fireworks. Listening to the poems coming from the room, she bends her mouth slightly, stands still for a moment and turns quietly.

This Christmas comes on Sunday. After the holiday, some people have to start working again until the new year.

Simon also began to sort out and plan a lot of the layout of the westero system in the past few days between Christmas and new year. In fact, this is a very early idea. At home and abroad, economy and politics. In the past few years, Simon seems casual, but in fact, he has fallen a lot of pieces.

If trees want to harvest fruits, they can't grow freely. They must be nourished and pruned regularly.

In terms of economy, Simon is still in charge of the entertainment and technology sector, which is the core of the westero system. Janet continues to be responsible for the financial sector, which is equally important to the westero system. Simon will not ignore other corners, but he does not intend to spend too much energy.

In terms of politics, this time we just sorted out the political lobbying network of the Westeros system, and strengthened the overseas layout. It plans to set up some funds, similar to the operation of the so-called "third-party funds" used by the US government.

In addition, the military forces and intelligence network directly under the Westeros family will also be more standardized integration, especially in the aspect of intelligence network, which used to be unrelated to each other in the past. However, if any intelligence network wants to be strong, it must form an interrelated organization to form a sufficiently tight network.

Such a team can't hide in the dark forever.Simon has tried to set up various shell detective companies or take the way of department affiliation.

This time, Simon began to plan to further formalize the two aspects, and divided them into light and dark aspects. On the surface, it is still the detective company model, but it will not be empty shell any more, the scale will increase greatly, and it will be more active in accepting external entrustment. In order to avoid single business attracting attention, these companies will expand appropriately, increase security and other businesses, and human resources will be provided and trained by private military companies of the Westeros family.

The secret intelligence network is still affiliated. This time, it will be mainly affiliated to three private military companies in North America, Australia and Europe. It will adopt more strict militarized management, and will only be responsible to Simon, and will not accept any external business entrustment.

In the military aspect, it is mainly to further consolidate the absolute control of the Westeros family over private military companies.

Neither Simon nor Janet can interfere too much in the operation of the three private military companies. In order to maintain absolute control, Simon adopts strict financial separation. Modern military is different from the era of cold weapons. Every move actually costs money.

If something happens, as long as we cut off the financial supply of these private military forces, some people will probably wake up and know who is feeding them.

Domestically, the westero system has become more and more deeply rooted in the United States, and the development of many aspects has begun to touch the sky. The next thing to do is to keep a low profile as far as possible and quietly develop the "root" part below the ground.

As for foreign countries, most of them are still in the early stage of layout.

This needs to lay a good foundation.

If you start to go awry, it will only be more difficult to clean up in the future.

Like Ukraine.

Simon began to focus on Africa, and gradually found that Ukraine is a more worthy business object. Therefore, he has invested a lot of resources in the state of Rovno in Ukraine in a short period of time, just like a big head of injustice that suddenly appears, it is inevitable to raise some moths.

To arrange two vases for outing was originally intended to remind some people, but the effect was not very good. Simon decided to start planning a clean-up. As a very humane boss, we still have to let everyone pass the new year, so things will start after the new year.

Busy, the North American film market on December 23 to December 19 another box office week quietly ended.

In the second week of release, "suicide team" easily won the box office title of the week, with a 38% drop in the box office of the next week and a further $57.69 million, with a total box office of $149.47 million in two weeks.

As a full-scale blockbuster film, the box office decline can still maintain 38% in the face of the impact of a number of new films, exceeding the expectations of the media and film makers. Some media predicted that the next week's decline of the film may be about 50%. The box office trend is good, and the possibility of suicide team hitting 300 million is also greatly increased.

However, there is another important reason for the good box office performance of "suicide team" next week, which is that the actual box office performance of last Monday's new films was rather weak.

This can only be seen from Toy Story 2, which still ranks second at the box office in the sixth week.

In the past week, the box office of Toy Story 2 dropped by only 11%, and it closed at US $18.73 million, reaching US $254.69 million. It is only a matter of time before the total box office of North America hit US $300 million. The box office curve of this 3D animated film is so strong that many media are surprised.

The third place on the list finally came to the new film that started last week, but it was the fight game adaptation movie "Street Fighter" jointly produced by kapukong and MGM and released by MGM.

The first seven days of the action film, starring Hollywood action actor Shanger woonton, earned $14.11 million at the box office. Compared with the production cost of $30 million and the publicity investment of $12 million, the opening performance of the film was lower than the film's expectation, but it was the best one among the major commercial films last Thursday.

At 14.11 million in the first week of the project, the possibility of cost recovery through North American distribution is zero, and the film company can only look forward to overseas and surrounding channels.

Macaulay Calkin's "rich man rich" ranked fourth, earning 12.32 million yuan in the first seven days of the week. There is no sign of copying the miracle of "home is a kid".

Warner Bros. spent $40 million on the production of this children's comedy and $15 million on publicity, with a total investment of $55 million.

Now, with $12.32 million in the first week, even if we can go out for a long time, the total box office in North America is only about $30 million. If the local box office performance is weak, it is difficult to expect overseas. Many markets may simply sell out. The industry expects that Warner Bros. may lose more than $30 million in this project in the short term.

No. 5 was Santa Claus.

The box office of Disney's holiday comedy, which opened last week at the same time as "suicide team", dropped 27% this week, and the box office of the next week earned $11.96 million. In two weeks, the cumulative box office of "Santa Claus" was $28.35 million, and the trend of the curve was expected. The production cost of "Santa Claus" is only $22 million, and the estimated domestic box office is about $50 million, which makes Vivendi, who has just taken over Disney, still satisfied with this. However, they will never know how much the film has sold.The sixth place on the list once again fell to Denise entertainment.

Gaomen film's "Little Women", which was released on a large scale, had a very weak box office drop of 3% in the next week, with a revenue of $10.96 million, just behind $1 million of "Santa Claus". This film adaptation of the famous work finally showed the trend of many films in the past year-end schedule, with a cumulative box office of $23.03 million.

The outstanding box office performance of "Little Women" made Orion film, which is owned by paramount, regret that it failed to arrange the screening of Paul Newman's "fool like a fool" in advance, because the two films are largely following the style of the original "steel Magnolia", one adapted from a classical novel and the other from a man's perspective.

"Little Women" can be a success. If "wise fool" is shown ahead of time and the painting is launched on a large scale in time for Christmas, it is likely to be sold as well.

Orion will not be able to arrange the screen for the film in a short time, even if we regret it. When the large-scale production starts on January 6, the North American film market will enter the off-season after the festival.

Paramount also regrets the box office performance of "IQ love.".

In the first week of its release, Meg Ryan's love movie earned only $6.65 million in seven days, ranking eighth in the box office. In the seventh place is Disney's live action version of "the prince of the forest", which is also a new film. The box office of "the prince of the forest" in the first week is only $8.27 million.

It can be said that none of the four commercial films, which were released on December 23 in time for Christmas, has achieved the box office performance expected by the film makers. Regardless of the subsequent long-term peripheral issuance, it will end in a loss in the short term.

In contrast, last week's three new films, Nell's heart, the years of passion and the fool, have a better reputation one by one. Unfortunately, these films can only start to reap the box office in the award season after the festival.

On December 30, a box office week spanning 1994 and 1995 opened.

This week's two new films are from the independent studio, namely "crazy King George", which is screened by Baldwin pictures, and "hurricane killer", which is a B-class film released by another independent film company named Kingstone entertainment. Almost none of the two new films splash any waves in the media, obviously trying to pick up the leak at the end of the year, but they are reduced to cannon fodder.

Because it is across the new year's day, this week has also become the last chance for many new films last Monday. If the box office of the box office week from December 30 to January 5 goes well, or even reverses, depending on local and overseas distribution, these films are still expected to get rid of the loss situation.

However, neither the film makers themselves nor the media are optimistic about this.

You know, in the past week, although there was a big box office monster named "suicide team", the box office of this DC superhero blockbuster has fallen to less than $60 million in the next week. It is reasonable to say that it does not affect the performance of other films. The slight decline of 3% in the next week of the large-scale opening of little women is the most direct evidence.

The box office performance of the four commercial films is still disappointing, which can only be said to be their own problem.
