Chapter 758: 762

After the new year, the last box office week, which spanned 1994 to 1995, ended quickly.

From December 30 to January 5, the box office decline of "suicide team" narrowed to 17% in the third week of its release, earning $47.91 million again, easily maintaining its weekly box office champion position. After three weeks of release, the cumulative box office of this DC movie universe anti hero hit $197.38 million.

The cumulative box office in three weeks is close to US $200 million. Even if the film market cools down rapidly after the festival, the total domestic box office of suicide team is enough to easily exceed US $300 million.

In the absence of new film competition, it also happens to be the new year. The total box office in North America from December 30 to January 5 is only 15% lower than that of Christmas week. Other films in the follow-up period have basically maintained the box office volume of Christmas week, and some films have reversed the decline.

Toy Story 2, a 3D animated film, still ranked second in the list, with a 13% drop in box office and a further $16.29 million. The cumulative box office reached $270.98 million, only $30 million away from the $300 million threshold.

Third place is Macaulay Calkin's "rich little man".

Warner Bros.'s $40 million holiday comedy failed at the beginning of the first week, then unexpectedly fell 14% in the next week, earning $14.03 million and accumulating $26.35 million in two weeks. Unfortunately, compared with the huge cost of the film, the next week's adverse fall can not change the loss outcome of Warner Bros. in this project.

Disney's holiday comedy "Santa Claus" ranked fourth, with a box office drop of 11% in the third week of its release. The box office figure was $10.62 million, with a total of $38.97 million in the three weeks.

The fifth place is MGM and kapukong's street fighter.

The box office trend of this popular game adapted action movie, which ranked second last week, was the most disappointing. The box office fell by 36% in the next week, falling directly to less than 10 million US dollars. In the second week, it earned 9.01 million US dollars, with a total box office of 23.12 million US dollars.

Outside the top five.

Little women, the sixth place film, fell by 21%, making $8.73 million in the third week of large-scale painting, with a cumulative box office of $31.76 million.

The seventh place "IQ love" was probably due to the only love film in the Christmas file. The next week, it fell by 16%, surpassing last week's "Prince of the forest", with a total revenue of $7.71 million and a total of $14.36 million in two weeks.

"Prince of the forest", the eighth place film, fell by 12%, making $7.27 million in the next week, and grossing $15.54 million in two weeks.

In addition to these films, after "the devil in disguise" which entered the 100 million yuan box office club last week, "the vampire in the night" earned $3.32 million at the box office in the eighth week of its release, and also achieved a domestic box office of more than 100 million, with a cumulative box office of $103.7 million.

January 6, the first box office week after the new year.

In terms of new films, there are still only two sporadic films on screen this week, which add up to less than 500 yuan. It's not worth mentioning.

However, on December 23, in order to get the nomination qualification for the award season, the three spot films "Nell's heart", "wise fool" and "years of passion" were all painted on a large scale this week, with more than 1000 screens. The number of screens of "years of passion" which had the best response during the screening period even reached 2005.

Denise entertainment will launch its new year's film from January 13. However, the first important new film of this year is the Hong Kong film "the red zone", which starts on January 27. This is another attempt by Jack Cheng to rush to Hollywood.

It can be said that the past year has been a turning point for Hong Kong films from prosperity to decline.

In 1994, there were many classic Hong Kong films, such as "a journey to the west", "east evil and West poison" and "Chongqing forest". However, due to serious over investment, hundreds of Oriental Hollywood films on the other side of the ocean failed to deliver on time, which caused huge losses to many film companies and seriously impacted the enthusiasm of investors. So far, Hong Kong films began to develop rapidly We are on the decline.

What's more, it is also the result of the continuous impact of Hollywood blockbusters.

Since 1994, the living space of Hong Kong films has become smaller and smaller, and Hollywood has gradually dominated the vast Southeast Asian market.

It is in this context that Jackie Cheng, dove Wu and other filmmakers have chosen to enter Hollywood.

In addition to the upcoming release of "Hongfan district" on January 27, white dove Wu's last year's "broken arrow" with danielis entertainment has also been completed, scheduled for February 10, during Valentine's day. Like David finch's new movie "mind games", which is scheduled for the end of the summer season, the $50 million production budget of "broken arrow" was put in February, which is also due to too many high-quality projects of danielis entertainment.

Even the better Easter schedule, which is similar to the one of broken arrow, is dominated by the series of comedy anti smart star 3, which has been sold by danielis entertainment.

"This man is from the earth", written by Simon himself, is expected to be put in a more unpopular schedule at the end of February after attending the Sundance Film Festival at the end of the month. At least, broken arrow has occupied a Valentine's day.As the local market is becoming more and more difficult to develop, Simon's main proposal at the first Denise entertainment high-level meeting at the beginning of the year is to expand the overseas market to the greatest extent. In fact, Denise entertainment has been doing this in the past few years, but it will pay more attention in the future, so as to make use of the vast overseas market space to maximize the commercial potential of a series of film projects produced by Denise entertainment, and share the risks brought by the schedule differences in the local market.

After new year's day, he returned to Los Angeles, busy with danilisi's entertainment. Simon went to San Francisco on January 9.

Starting from the beginning of 1993, the 20 hectare igritte Park in mountain view city was developed and constructed for more than a year, and then officially put into use. Before that, igritte company, which could only rent office buildings in Silicon Valley, moved into a new office space in the first week after the new year.

Simon used to circle up to 300 hectares of land in the name of westero in the coastal area of mountain view, and igritte occupied only one-fifth of it.

In addition to igritte, which has enough capital to build its own park, Simon also built an additional office area in the name of westero company. The office area leased to Silicon Valley new technology start-ups in this plan was also put into use in the same period of the year.

As a result, while igritte moved, tingcobail, broadcast, instagram and other companies closely related to igritte also moved into the office park of mountain view city.

The residential area in the north of the Office Park, which has invested a lot of money in the development, is also open to employees of igritte company or affiliated enterprises earlier. For the time being, it is only allowed to rent, and the price for employees of igritte company is very low. The residential area is mainly composed of single family villas and three storey apartments, with 500 units each. A total of 1000 units are enough to easily accommodate 5000 people.

With the rise of new technology industry, the real estate growth in the bay area has been ahead of other cities in the United States.

Perhaps now, the housing pressure is not too great for the employees of bay area technology companies. However, ten or twenty years later, even the employees of the top technology companies will not be so easy to buy a house in the bay area. Simon even remembers that employees of companies like Google and Facebook have been living in RV for a long time.

Simon built these properties in the name of westero company. Because they are mainly rented, they can not recover the huge amount of money invested in the early stage in the short term. But in the long run, not only the continuous appreciation of the real estate itself will bring huge profits to Simon, it can provide cheap rental housing for employees, but also it will become a major advantage for igrit company to compete with other technology companies in the future.

Of course, even if it's a cheap rental, Simon won't suffer.

Because the "cheap" here is only for the employees of relevant enterprises. If they want to be cheap, whether it is igritte or other companies that want to offer similar preferential treatment to employees, they need to make up the rent difference in the form of subsidies.

Moreover, this business is not a loss for igrit or other park enterprises.

Because the competition for human resources in Silicon Valley is in a very fierce stage, housing subsidy is undoubtedly a bright spot for new technology enterprises to attract employees. Moreover, because this part of the property is very close to the office space, it can save employees' commuting time to the greatest extent, and even promote employees to work overtime to a great extent.

In addition, although the efficiency of collecting rent is very low compared with the direct sale of real estate, Simon can use this part of the property as collateral to obtain loans from the bank as long as necessary. Due to the high growth trend of housing prices in the bay area, if the loan is only the annual increase of housing prices, it will be enough to offset the relevant interest expenses and achieve a surplus.

All in all, the business is very cost-effective in any way.

Arriving in San Francisco, Simon spent the whole day on January 9 attending the company's high-level meeting in the glass fiber reinforced plastic structure modern office building in igritte park. The main topics were the review of 1994 and the planning outlook for 1995.

Due to the overall outbreak of new technology industry in the past year, the annual revenue of igrit, whose businesses are in a monopoly position in the industry, also shows a more rapid explosive growth than that in 1993. Now igrit has started various audits before IPO. In order to increase the confidence of investors, the company will also release its 1994 financial report next month.

At that time, many people will be surprised.

Simon's demand for the core management of igritte is no longer to make rapid progress, but to calm down and slow down to further develop a series of core products of igritte.

Another core issue is overseas expansion.

Simon didn't forget what he said with Clinton and other Washington leaders in the White House last time, and Washington didn't forget either.

Overseas expansion does not conflict with igritte's strategy of slowing down and deepening its core products.

In fact, it is not difficult to imitate the basic technologies of portal websites, e-mail, search engines and other businesses. Not only in the United States, but also in many new technology industries overseas have begun to launch similar products. If igritte wants to keep its advantage in this competition, it has to constantly improve and optimize its products.Users are actually very smart.

Whether it's a search engine or a social network, the quality of a product can be distinguished by using it several times, and then people will naturally tend to use the best one.

In the past, Yahoo launched the content search function very early. Why did it lose to Google later? In addition to the serious mistakes in corporate strategy, the original and poor search tools of Yahoo itself are also the important reasons why the company was quickly surpassed by its competitors.

In fact, relying on the accumulation in the past few years, a series of products of igrit company have already possessed considerable advantages. Simon did not dare to take it lightly. Every time he met, he would rush to instill a sense of crisis into the top management of igritte. In an era of information technology explosion, if he was a little slack, he might be overtaken by his competitors in the twinkling of an eye.

Especially at this stage is still in the early stage of the development of new technology industry, igrit is far from being taken lightly.

After a busy day and an in circle party organized by John Chambers in the evening, Simon didn't return to his mountain villa in Woodside until more than ten o'clock in the evening.

After taking a bath and relaxing, I just discussed with Alice Ferguson, the former housekeeper who came back with me tonight, about igritte's satellite map business recently launched. Girl a came to remind me that Kiev called.

Celia Miller and Ken Dixon left for Ukraine on January 2.

Things didn't go so well.

Hearing that Simon wanted to replace the governor of Rovno state, Ukrainian President Leon Kuchma began to react very negatively and openly told Celia that the demands of the vistro system were too cross-border.

Simon is not polite about it either.

On the one hand, Celia continues to lobby Kuchma.

On the other hand, the arms trading companies of the vestro system have directly stopped negotiating a recent deal with the Ukrainian side.

Throughout the 1990s, Ukraine was basically relying on arms sales to restore its vitality to this economically depressed country.

However, there are not many arms that Ukraine can sell.

Other countries have little demand for relatively basic individual weapons or old-fashioned Soviet made heavy weapons. High end strategic missiles and nuclear weapons, however, cannot be sold, at least not publicly. As a result, the production of many popular helicopters or ships is limited.

Moreover, it is often difficult for these arms sales to fall into the private purse, and most of them have to be put into the state treasury.

The vistro system is similar to an intermediary arms trading company, but it has built a bridge for Ukraine's export of low-end weapons, which are in low demand.

Most importantly, there is still a lot of room for operation.

Ukraine has a lot of low-end weapons. Europe, Asia and North America do not need them. If they want to sell them directly to Africa, which has the largest demand, they can't afford them. It is impossible for the Ukrainian government to barter like the arms trading companies of the westero system. What Ukraine lacks is money, not resources. It is meaningless for Ukraine to get oil drilling far away.

So the arms trading companies of the Westeros system are very important.

Simon decisively asked the arms trading company to stop the negotiation of the new deal, which immediately made Kuchma realize the seriousness of the matter. A large number of Kuchma's people are relying on this money bag. Compared with a governor, it seems that it doesn't matter. After all, Ukraine is not such a big country as the United States. A governor is similar to a mayor in the United States.

After several days of bargaining, Kuchma finally agreed to all the requirements of the westero system.

The time difference between Los Angeles and Kiev is 10 hours.

Simon received a call from Celia, who had just had breakfast with Kuchma at 9:00 a.m. Kiev local time on January 10, and got the president's order to remove the governor Yuri miloslav. At the end of the call with Simon, and finally confirm a series of action details with her boss, Celia will rush to rivney, the capital of Rovno state, in the morning to officially launch the cleaning plan.
