"Now there are only tens of thousands of yuan left every day. Next week, the box office will be basically 395 million yuan, and the difference is less than 400 million yuan. It's a pity. I've watched it several times and I cry every time. Everyone thought that the box office of 500 million yuan is possible, but piracy is too rampant. There is also a TV station that has made special reports on piracy. Simon, why haven't you interfered in the management?"

"I can't get too much here. I'm going to spend hundreds of thousands of minutes in a minute, and it's still US dollars. I'll waste time after taking care of it."

"Haha, yes, 395 million yuan, and only...3824, 4...32...The exchange rate is now 8.6. Anyway, it's about 30 million US dollars. The split movie is 13%, so you can get 4 million US dollars. It's so small, Simon, I think you may not have made a lot of money from selling pirated CDs. I just said that on TV, Beijing specially cracked down on pirated CDs and pulled a cart of CDs, most of which were "Titanic."

Palisade.

A corner of the indoor bar on the first floor of the mansion on the mountainside.

Simon sat on the sofa, beside him, snuggling Zhu Momo, who was still beating his fingers. The topic was the "Titanic" that will be lowered in China.

The ship was released in China on April 10. Simon originally hoped to drop in one month so as not to get too high and too eye-catching. However, because Chinese audiences were too enthusiastic and responded to the public's voice, the movie was postponed for one month until June 10.

It's next Wednesday.

Speaking of which, "Titanic" was originally released in China, with a single week exceeding 100 million and a double week exceeding 200 million, which was simply unstoppable. However, as a large number of well-produced pirated CDs flowed into the market, the film's Chinese box office also declined rapidly.

Until now.

Compared with the long-term trend in the past, the box office potential has basically been exhausted in the past two months, and China's total box office is expected to be only at the data of RMB 395 million, which is only one line away from the threshold of RMB 400 million.

This is a data that all parties are willing to see.

The well-made bilingual subtitle pirated version of "Titanic" was Simon instructed Chen Qing to make and release it.

Otherwise, with China's theater system and online ticket sales that have gradually become standardized, "Titanic" will not be impossible, not to mention 400 million or 500 million this time, no matter how high it is, it is not impossible.

That would be too dazzling.

According to the result calculated by the girl around her, she only earned a few million US dollars, so there is no need to be afraid of it.

395 million, just right.

Let’s talk about the issue of piracy, Simon knows that because "Titanic" is also very popular in China, China’s VCD sales have increased by more than 20% month-on-month in the past two months. On the Westeros system, whether it is Scooper, which controls the core components of VCD, or Bubugao, who has become China’s largest VCD manufacturer, has made a fortune.

Simon would definitely not talk about these inner tricks to Zhu Momo, and surrounded the girl next to him and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. Is there anything interesting about you recently?"

Zhu Momo immediately became interested when he heard this: "Yes, haha, it's funny to think of me. Two idiots, Xiaowei and Luo Yan, my classmates, received an invitation to secretly go to audition, saying that it was a big-time costume drama invested in Hong Kong, which was like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". He ended up being almost abducted. Fortunately, I saved them."

Simon listened with a smile and asked just right: "Why did you save it?"

"Did they go to the audition secretly or at night? Because they were criticized last year, our class was very strict. After going there, it was normal. Later, those people invited them to have dinner at nightclubs. It felt bad. They found an opportunity to call me secretly and asked me to keep it secret afterwards. Tsk, if Teacher Chang knew about it, they would definitely be scolded badly. Later, I not only saved them, but also asked someone to arrest the scammers. As a result, a group of bastards were attracted to the audition everywhere and then brought them to the nightclub to pull them into the water."

Simon just smiled and nodded.

I have seen too many similar things in the circle, and it is difficult to cause any disturbances like a girl in my arms.

Zhu Momo continued excitedly without waiting for Simon to ask, "By the way, Simon, "Hero" has become very famous in China recently. Say yes, that film festival..."

"Cannes."

"Yes, at the Cannes Film Festival, many foreign media have received rave reviews and have reprinted them in China. Now everyone is looking forward to it, saying they want to compete with "Titanic". Haha, they probably didn't find out that both movies were invested in."

Simon smiled and said, "Let's keep a low profile, we just need to know this."

"Haha..." Zhu Momo hugged Simon's arm and trembled and smiled for a while, and then said, "However, it seems that the schedule has not been decided yet. He said that he would negotiate with the theater to increase the share. Simon, is there any result?"

"It should be soon."

"Well, everyone is looking forward to it before it has been released, and the theater will definitely give in."

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

While the two were chatting, Nicole Kidman walked through the crowd around him and said to Simon: "It's very late, Simon, I'm going to go home and say goodbye to you."

As he said this, Nicole sat down on the other side of Simon naturally, and deliberately glanced at Zhu Momo, who was obviously hostile to her opposite side.

Seeing this big fairy like this, Simon didn't drive anyone away, so he found a topic and said, "I just forgot to ask, how is it like participating in the filming of "The Lord of the Rings" in Australia? I mean, Peter and the others?"

Nicole understood what Simon meant, but she didn't rush to answer. She asked for a glass of champagne from the hand of the waiter, took a sip of it, and slanted towards the man without any trace, saying, "No, Peter is a very humble person. He never acts on filming and often calls everyone to discuss it. However, on the other hand, Peter clearly knows what he wants. I believe that the Lord of the Rings trilogy will definitely become a classic."

Nicole's narrative was basically the same as Simon had known and this time he paid attention to Australia, so he nodded slightly.

Nicole was puzzled: "Simon, it's almost half a year since filming started. Don't you plan to go over and follow up for a while?"

"It depends on the schedule, maybe some days will pass in the second half of the year."

Compared to following up on some blockbuster projects in person, Simon is doing less and less. After all, the films produced by Daenerys Entertainment every year are just bombshells with a budget of more than $50 million, and neither hand can count them.

There really isn't that time.

Moreover, like Peter Jackson, Simon dared to let go and was confident that he had chosen the right creator, which saved him enough effort.

Seeing that Simon was not sure, Nicole could not force it, and glanced at Zhu Momo on the other side, and suddenly said with a smile: "By the way, Simon, the girls you sent to Australia to play the elves are so beautiful. Everyone has the potential to become a supermodel. Even I have the pressure to put on me. Moreover, after dressing up, I couldn't help but feel that the elves should probably look like those Eastern European girls."

Nicole said that Simon sent her to Australia to play the role of the Elf supporting role.

This is Simon's private collection. A total of 17 were sent, Yishuier's slender waist, white skin and long legs, with a height of 175 cm, a small facial features and a delicate face, and a standard Eastern Slavic girl.

Similar thoughts arose very early.

I initially planned to choose Eastern European models, but if I live in Australia, it is definitely not suitable for those who have already become regular in their careers, so I chose them from my collection. Seventeen girls are still in Australia. As long as they have the role of the elves, they will appear in the camera as background supporting roles.

It is considered Simon's personal bad taste and a benefit for the future audience.

Although Zhu Momo was a poor student, his relationship was not bad. After hearing Nicole said this, he immediately understood that she was hinting that she was like the girls she said who were sent to Australia to play supporting roles. He glanced at the expressions of the men around him. He seemed to have no idea. He couldn't help but fight back: "Wonder Woman Famick Jensen is a model. Indeed, if Simon is willing, maybe each of the girls you just mentioned can become another Nicole Kidman," he turned to the man: "Simon, right?"

Simon smiled and refused to comment.

When the kitten around him fights, Simon's attitude always does not care about anything else as long as he doesn't catch his face.

Nicole didn't expect this Dongfang girl to retaliate and glanced at someone. Seeing that she had no idea of ​​helping her, she immediately understood the man's thoughts. She rolled her eyes slightly and did not continue. Instead, she stretched her hand over the man's arm and stopped hiding: "Simon, are you free tonight?"

Zhu Momo was already snuggling against the man, and immediately hugged Simon's other arm when he saw this: "Sorry, Miss Kidman, Simon has already agreed with me."

Nicole blinked and looked at Simon: "Is there any?"

Simon shook his head.

Zhu Momo pouted with grievance and looked pitiful.

Nicole raised her chin slightly proudly.

Simon was holding a wine glass on his right hand, carefully roaming his arm from Nicole's hand, and smiled and said, "Okay, I won't agree to anyone tonight, I'll sleep by myself."

This time, the two women around them, who have different appearances, temperaments and races, had a unified expression, and they both showed disbelief.

Simon shrugged slightly and smiled, "It's been a month, I feel good, I plan to hold on for a few more days."

Nicole understood that there was no need for a man to lie on such things, and suddenly stuck out his tongue, looked scared, and said to Zhu Momo: "Okay, let it be."

Zhu Momo has experienced the dangers of the world. He imagined what the state of a man who had been raising energy for a month might be. He instinctively swallowed his saliva, looked down at his small body, and couldn't help but retreat. He thought that Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei were there too. Or, as he had planned for a long time, if he brought two female classmates here this time...

Unfortunately, there isn't even one.

While hesitating or pretending to hesitate, someone came over to say goodbye to Simon, which made the two women return to their souls.

Simon turned to socializing, and then stayed at the party for more than ten minutes before leaving first. In the disappointed eyes of the female guest, he only brought Zhu Momo.

Still don't plan to do anything.

For this reason, he doesn't even plan to go back to Dumei Point Manor tonight. Janet has been increasingly fond of teasing and ridicule recently, hoping to bring her husband who is on the evil path back on track, and weekends are also his free time.

But I still want one of the fragrant soft pillows.

I stayed in a mountaintop mansion in Belaire in the evening. Perhaps because the jet lag had not reversed, I prayed to Momo like a kitten who was very energetic at night and was not bullied by a man, so I hugged each other in bed and said something very late.

Simon woke up at around five in the morning, and the girl beside him was still sleeping.

After getting dressed and washing, I went downstairs and just jogged on the treadmill in the gym. Another figure in a women's sports suit moved in hesitantly. When I found that Simon saw the figure, I stopped walking in, but just lowered my head slightly, obviously feeling guilty.

But I can't help it.

Simon smiled and pointed to the treadmill next to him. When Mo Wuling's eyes dodged, he stood up, and after some operation, he started walking, he spoke with a joke: "I read a piece of information some time ago. There is a car brand called Wuling Automobile in Guangxi, China."

Mo Wuling subconsciously nodded.

Then he reacted.

Wuling Auto...itself...can't help but glared at me, it was very lethal.

Bad guy.

Why is it so bad!

Simon continued with a smile: "It's quite interesting, isn't it? You have to know that in the West, many people like to name companies by their own names. If they can be passed on, it would be even more glorious."

She thought about it and it seemed that it was indeed the case.

It's just that I am Chinese.

How can I have this habit?

As he thought about it, he said: "We are not used to this, and Chinese people are introverted."

"Then I asked them to change their names. You know, I have a lot of investments in China, and changing their names is good."

I didn't expect him to say this. Mo Wuling subconsciously shook her head, how could someone change her name because of this small coincidence: "No, this is too troublesome."

"Um."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Mo Wuling finally couldn't help but speak again: "I have been thinking about what you said back then."

Simon wondered: "Hmm?"
