Chen Qing and Mo Yiling took advantage of lunch to discuss some issues, and then a detailed seminar for the Jinshu team and district government officials all afternoon. The topic was the two major projects that will be launched at the same time by the Qin Palace project, "Ming and Qing Palace Garden" and "Jiangnan Fenghua".

The Ming and Qing Palace Gardens refer to the Hengdian project in Simon's memory. The theme is very simple, and the full proportion of the Forbidden City is reproduced. Even compared with the Forbidden City, which covers an area of ​​1,080 acres, this Ming and Qing Palace Garden project is expected to reach a larger scale of 1,500 acres. However, in addition to the palace garden community of about 1,000 acres, there are also supporting facilities such as surrounding parking lots.

Compared with the simple version of Qin Wang Palace, which is expected to cost only 200 million yuan, since this time it will strive for excellence and the number of palace communities is more than 50%. Although the overall area of ​​the project is only 50%, the investment in the Ming and Qing Dynasties will exceed more than triple.

As for the Fenghua of Jiangnan, it is based on the historical celebrities, literary stories, folk legends, strange and strange ambitions from the Jiangnan region for thousands of years in China, and designed various antique attractions, such as the "Taohuawu" stripped out by Simon. It should have been the first of them. However, the planned Taohuawu will still be built near Fenghua of Jiangnan.

This meeting finally finalized the core planning idea of ​​the Fenghua Park in Jiangnan to be "a dream of a thousand years", the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Jin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, etc., and each took materials and finally completed the area, which may reach a scale of 2,000 to 3,000 mu, and the investment will exceed 1 billion.

In order to ensure that these projects can be quickly launched after completion, in addition to their own various operating methods, the Jinshu Department will also personally invest in a large number of domestic TV series with a lot of demand for movies. Of course, it must be mainly costume types. In addition, as a peripheral supporting facilities, in addition to the registered Jinshu Artist Agency Company, Jinshu Catering and Hotel Group, etc., the Jinshu Department will also establish Jinshu Performing Arts School, Jinshu Special Effects Company and other related companies.

After completing this, Chen Qing only stayed in Suzhou for one day and then moved to Shanghai and Hong Kong again. She first followed up several major investment projects in the Westeros system in China recently, and then joined the upcoming China Telecom roadshow team in Hong Kong. She set off on December 2, and the first stop in London, officially kicking off the roadshow of China Telecom, which will be listed in Hong Kong and New York at the same time, with a valuation of US$20 billion.

at the same time.

North America.

Thanksgiving this year is late November 28.

This Thanksgiving Day, the Westeros family spent the North Suburb Manor of Greenwich, Connecticut on the East Coast. In addition to the East Coast being more festive due to the distinct seasons, it is also confirmed that the Westeros building will be capped on December 5. Whether it is Simon or Janet, they hope to climb this long-awaited tallest building in the world as soon as possible.

On the other hand, what North American media has paid the most attention to recently is the Thanksgiving schedule in 1996.

The highly anticipated Thanksgiving week from November 22 to November 28, "Wonder Woman 2", which has unparalleled popularity and reputation, is unsurprisingly dominating the whole family. Whether it is the previous old films such as "Slam Dunk" or the Disney old-fashioned animation adaptation of the live-action film "101 Spot Dogs" released the day before Thanksgiving on November 27, they have become completely supporting roles in front of "Wonder Woman 2".

After the first week of the painting, the box office of "Wonder Woman 2" once again exceeded 100 million in the first three days with $107.15 million, the box office of "Wonder Woman 2" finally reached $153.37 million. Among all 10 movies have been released in the DC Cinema Universe, this result is second only to "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" which created a super box office miracle last Christmas.

Faced with the impact of "Wonder Woman 2", the second-place list, Star Trek 8, has plummeted from the unsatisfactory start of last week to $15.94 million, a drop of 54%. The film's two-week box office has barely exceeded the 50 million mark, reaching $50.61 million.

Following closely behind, "Slam Dunk" ranked third, fell 41% in the second week of release, which seems to be better than "Star Trek 8", but because the film's box office base was not high at all, the box office in the seven-day period of the next week was only $14.79 million. The box office results of $39.93 million in two weeks made Warner Bros., who bet on the production budget of $80 million, crying.

The fourth place is Disney's "101 Spotted Dogs".

As the main bombshell of Disney's end of this year, this classic 2D animation adaptation of live-action movie costs $75 million, and is completely bombshell. It also invites John Hughes, the main creator of the "Home Imperial" series, which has been significantly downturned over the years, as the screenwriter and producer.

Because of the huge cost and a family-friendly movie that is limited to the festive atmosphere, Disney struggled between the two major schedules at the end of the year and finally chose the release date on November 27. After all, although the Christmas season is more in line with the theme, there are quite a lot of films that choose to avoid Thanksgiving due to the pressure of "Wonder Woman 2", and the intensity of competition is no less than Thanksgiving.

What's more, "101 Spotted Dogs" is also very suitable for the long-term end of the year. If it is placed on Christmas, once the reputation is not outstanding enough, it will only be eliminated for two weeks.

Vivendi, who was afraid of repeating Sony's mistakes, almost stared at the Disney team with his eyes and always stared at him. If he was tortured, many people might lose their jobs.

As a result, the official opening of paintings, "101 Spot Dogs" fell directly to a failed score of only about 4 points, both in media reputation and audience evaluation. Relying on Disney's promotion and the film's festival themes, "101 Spot Dogs" barely achieved a box office of $10.17 million, far lower than the box office expectations of Disney's two-day opening of paintings.

Moreover, the follow-up of the video is even more unpredictable.

As for the same sentence, if there was no competition for strong films, "101 Spotted Dogs" might have achieved good long-term box office with the theme of festivals. Now, there are "Wonder Woman 2" before, and "The Brave Game" and "Charlie's Angels". The quality of the film is not good. In this fierce competitive environment, it is a delusion to go long-term.

The fifth place is still "Annabelle".

This horror film, which seems to be incompatible with the festive atmosphere, has seen a big box office decline for two consecutive weeks. After a 43% drop last week, the decline reached 39% under the strong pressure of "Wonder Woman 2" this week. However, compared with other movies, "Annabelle" still earned $9.45 million in box office.

In five weeks of release, the cumulative box office of the film reached 134.21 million US dollars, which is only a matter of time before the goal of the first film in the Soul Conjuring Movie Universe's local box office exceeding 150 million US dollars.

November 29.

In the new week, except for "101 Spotted Dogs", which was launched two days in advance, major studios have not launched new films, so it has become a critical opportunity for a number of films to achieve box office advancement or reversal during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Of course, the only one who tried to advance was "Wonder Woman 2". How high the film's local box office will eventually go, the trend of the next week is crucial.

For "Slam Dunk" and "Star Trek 8", the defeat has been decided, so the only one who expects to reverse is "101 Spotted Dogs". Even if it doesn't matter if it breaks out, across the week of the end of the year, as long as the Spotted Dogs' box office can reach 30 million on the weekly box office, after the momentum of "Wonder Woman 2" slows down, the next curve will be much better.

Unfortunately, some people's expectations turned into vain after three days of the weekend from November 29 to December 1.

First of all, "Wonder Woman 2".

Three days after the next weekend, the DC movie Universe blockbuster fell by only 35% year-on-year, and it collected another $69.65 million. In 10 days of release, the cumulative box office of the film has quickly exceeded 200 million, reaching 223.02 million US dollars. This result also means that "Wonder Woman 2" surpasses the 371 million US dollars of the first song, and even surpasses the 416 million US dollars of the local "Batman: The Rises of the Dark Knight" before the Super War, which is not too suspense.

The question is whether it can exceed the local $500 million.

If there are no "Brave Game" and "Charlie's Angels" in the following Christmas period, the chance of breaking the $500 million threshold with the start of "Wonder Woman 2".

Now, it is full of suspense.

On Disney's "101 Spot Dogs", on the first weekend after its release, the film was under heavy pressure and a loss of reputation in "Wonder Woman 2". It finally earned only US$18.67 million from November 29 to December 1.

Even based on the ideal box office ratio of three days and four days on weekdays, the box office of "101 Spotted Dogs" is only about 26 million US dollars, which obviously does not meet the 30 million threshold that Disney expects. What's more, the data after the weekend proves that Spotted Dogs' working day box office curve is even worse.

New York, Manhattan.

The Westeros Building occupies an entire block between 59th and 60th Streets on the east side of Madison Avenue in the Upper East Side.

It is Thursday, December 5th.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the 135th floor, the tallest floor on the building, was officially announced as Simon and Janet uncovered the curtain symbolically covering the surrounding glass windows. The demolition started in early 1992 and built it in five years. The Westeros Building, which reached 622 meters in bare height, was officially topped.

Even if it is not considered to be the subsequent installation of various infrastructures, it is just a cap. This skyscraper, built with all the highest-end materials and top-notch technology, has long exceeded the initial budget of $1 billion.

The investment figure so far is US$1.7 billion. It is expected that all infrastructure will be installed and laid out in the future, with a total cost of US$2.5 billion, which is definitely the highest cost of construction at this stage. If inflation factors are considered, even twenty or thirty years later, this record will be difficult to break. After all, the Dubai Tower, which was completed in 2010, was only US$1.5 billion, while the New World Trade Center in New York, which was rumored to be built with the highest safety standards, was also only US$3.2 billion.

Therefore, if Simon wants to talk about rewards in this skyscraper, it is basically impossible.

With Simon's current wealth, he never thought about this.

Under this premise, the building will not only be built with the highest standards, but will also be operated with the highest standards in the future.

The most important one of them is of course the safety standards.

In addition to the building itself, it can easily withstand the construction standards of the largest earthquakes and hurricanes recorded in the history of the New York area, the safety standards of the entire building will also be designed in accordance with the security level of the Westeros family's private residential land for a long time. For example, the explosion in the 1993 Twin Towers underground parking factory where half a ton of explosives was stuffed into the Westeros building, and there will definitely be no chance to appear in the Westeros Building.

Since the planned building entry standards are quite strict, Simon also plans to set relatively low rents, with the goal of only building income meeting annual maintenance and tax costs, and not making a penny, but only requiring one popularity. Therefore, the world's highest and most advanced skyscraper will have a lower future rent than many old buildings in Manhattan.

Of course, the premise is that you can pass the review and are eligible to enter.

These are all later stories.

After the unveiling, Simon gave a brief speech and soon announced the start of the party.

The clear blue sky outside the window in the winter day, even though the steel beams were still exposed around and the champagne was opened, the atmosphere became very warm.

Simon picked up a glass of champagne and first came to the Rebeldes who attended the capping ceremony together, and explained softly.

The main reason is that the Jennifers did not attend the capping ceremony on the East Coast.

Although the female assistant must have talked to her parents, Simon explained it personally as a polite, mainly some safety rules formed by the Westeros family without realizing it. Unless necessary, they do not take the same plane and the same yacht, etc. Although Janet is always unwilling to abide by this, the female assistant and the children will never make an exception.

Since the ceiling ceremony of the building was not completely completed, everyone came to the roof to take a lift. No matter how cautious it was, it was hard to say that it was absolutely safe, so neither Jennifer nor the children showed up.

Of course, the James and his wife understood this, and even agreed with it even more than Simon.

After all, Simon did this, which was equivalent to fully recognizing their daughter's identity as a Westeros family. Otherwise, if she was just a lover around her, she would not have considered so much.

A few simple sentences, James took the initiative to turn the topic away: "I saw an article in the latest issue of Barron's magazine. About Hollywood, "Wonder Woman 2" is another 1 billion-level movie worldwide. The situation in other Hollywood studios is generally unsatisfactory. Simon, are you sure this will not cause a rebound?"

"The rebound is inevitable. At the premiere of Wonder Woman 2, Bob White asked me to relax the constraints on the development of DC superhero movies. Although Jack later called me to explain this matter to me, he could still see the attitude there. And the other companies are basically like this."

James asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Danerys Entertainment does whatever it should do, and then wait for other studios to take action. Haha, in fact, this has always been done. Daenerys Entertainment, and even the entire Westeros system, will not stop due to external factors. We just need to throw our opponents away, and it will be difficult for them to cause trouble to us." Simon said this, thinking for a while, and then said: "In fact, the eye-catching effect of "Wonder Woman 2" is too obvious, giving people the illusion that Daenerys Entertainment has been making $1 billion box office movies. Well, although Hollywood's 1 billion movies have been related to the Westeros system in recent years, there are definitely not many. Except for the two unexpected movies last year, the others are only one movie a year at most, and no matter how many markets there are, they can't hold it."

After hearing this, James said, "This should be a point of public opinion that can be operated."

Simon was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I'll make arrangements after the party."

It wasn't James' reminder, but I didn't expect it.

Regarding the fact that Hollywood can only carry one or two global 1 billion movies a year, it can indeed be hyped in the media, giving the public a sense that Daenerys Entertainment is not so strong in fact. Even the obvious illusion of Ah Q can at least make some media less jealous, so as not to add fuel to the fire.

Simon thought of further extensions.

For example, Daenerys Entertainment's interests in the DC movie universe are not as high as Warner. Therefore, the more successful the series is, as the creative leader of the DC movie universe, Daenerys Entertainment will suffer the more losses.

It's good to suffer a loss.

After this publicity, some people can balance their psychologically and reduce the fuel from some media. Then, Daenerys Entertainment can also boil frogs more safely in warm water.

As for how it actually is.
