Chapter 1522: Blue Sky Studio(1/2)
In the front cabin study of Boeing 767, Simon said goodbye to the women after breakfast. He set out on his itinerary to the East Coast just after 8 o'clock.
This is August 9th.
on Monday.
The first thing Simon is concerned about is the lively "Fighting Club" released last Friday.
Under the super popularity of strong controversy, the opening screen of 1,263 yuan was finally box office of "Fighting Club" in the first three days of the first weekend, and the museums directly exceeded 10,000 US dollars, reaching the level of selling movies.
According to the weekend's launch, the full first week of the film will be between 23 million and 24 million US dollars.
Compared with the original "Fight Club" which had a total box office of more than 30 million US dollars in North America, it is only the first week now, and it is undoubtedly a very impressive start.
However, the subsequent box office trend is actually a bit unpredictable.
The key is to look at the next week.
In the report given by the New World Pictures team, since a small number of screens have triggered discussions among audiences about Daenerys giving up the movie, the screen will not be added immediately in the next week, and will remain at the level of 1,263 yuan.
On the one hand, this is to maintain the popularity of topics, and on the other hand, it can undoubtedly achieve the effect of hunger marketing. After all, the topics are so popular, but there are very few screenings. The more the audience can't see them, the more they often want to watch them.
However, although the painting has only been three days since it started, the specific local box office volume can be roughly determined based on the trend of the next week. However, the team of New World Films judged that the total box office of the film would exceed 100 million.
After all, the plot of this movie will indeed greatly limit the audience.
The premise of word-of-mouth is that everyone who has read it says it is good, and then it will be passed on to the people around you. If the people who have read it say it doesn’t understand, or it is not as good as expected, you can imagine the result.
Therefore, the team predicts that the local box office of the film will be between 60 million and 80 million US dollars. Of course, since the local topics in North America are so hot, the overseas market may be higher, and the global market may reach 150 million US dollars.
As long as it can reach this level, the film can basically make a profit in the theater distribution stage.
Moreover, because of the genre, the subsequent peripheral channels of this movie will happen to be very considerable.
First of all, people who like it will definitely rent videotapes or buy DVDs to watch it repeatedly in the future. Secondly, those who are unwilling to enter the theater to watch this movie at the moment have become famous, and it is very likely that they will consume this movie in a relatively low-cost peripheral market in the future.
Therefore, the profit will be in the future.
Simon basically agreed with this idea and no longer had the idea of interfering in the subsequent promotion and distribution operations of the New World Film Team.
While browsing the box office data and related reports of other projects, A girl knocked on the door and walked in.
Looking at the A-skinned girl who was wearing an OL suit and putting down a stack of documents opposite her, Simon signaled and Alison obediently turned to the desk.
Simon waited for the girl A to approach, reached out to wrap her slender waist, leaned her head against the girl, feeling the refreshing fragrance of the woman, and immediately relaxed.
Be The Absolute King?
Not easy.
Girl A gently raised her hand and stroked her boss's hair, and after a moment, she said, "Boss, why don't you change your course and go to Florida for a few days, or Europe?"
Simon shook his head: "Florida is too hot, I want to go to a cool place."
"Ukraine?"
"No, there is no place for women."
Girl A bent her mouth and understood that her boss had no plans to change her itinerary, so she would not say more.
Simon just leaned for a while, then let go of the A girl and said, "Okay, go."
Girl A nodded and left quietly.
Simon continued to read the report in his hand, and then turned to the several documents sent by Girl A.
The first one comes from Latin America.
Just last week, the Brazilian currency real suddenly experienced a plunge, which caused the Brazilian stock and bond market to suffer.
On the surface, this is a continuation of the 97 financial crisis.
After all, it has not completely passed.
But, in fact, Simon knew that this result would occur last month.
The cause of the matter is also very simple.
Just last month, Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, held a summit, led by the EU, and Latin American countries actively responded, called the EU-Latin America Summit to discuss the matter of strengthening economic cooperation between the two sides.
Then, recently, as the largest economy in Latin America, the Brazilian currency has plummeted, affecting the stock market and bond markets, and even other countries.
It's so fast that I can't hide my ears.
That's right.
It is still another move in the United States of America's sniping euro combination punch.
If the EU wants to promote the euro, it is definitely impossible to operate on its own one-acre and three-point land. It will inevitably require a lot of cooperative currencies. Then, I don’t know what EU countries think, and I put my thoughts on Latin America.
This is the backyard of the United States.
They are all my flowers and plants. Can I let you open fields and grow vegetables here?
I've thought too much.
Anyway, Simon used to know about the G8, G20, or the Davos Forum, but he had no impression of the EU-Latin America summit, and he didn't know if it was cancelled later, or it was just a form, and everyone would occasionally get rid of it by chatting, drinking, and doing business.
Speaking of the combination punches of sniping the euro, China actually benefits from it.
Although the Clinton administration has been actively promoting China to join the WTO, the conservative US Congress has always opposed it.
However, this year suddenly became less opposed.
Why?
It's very simple, I'm worried that China's market with a population of 1.2 billion will completely turn to the EU.
However, while taking advantage of the market entry process, Simon also knew that in order to join the WTO, China finally adopted a monetary policy that anchored the US dollar to a certain extent, which actually paid a considerable hidden price.
I won't say much about this.
Going back to the Brazilian currency plunge, Simon understood that in order to make Latin America honest and not make any troubles, the federal method of the other side will not stop there, and he will definitely give a deep lesson. Therefore, this is just the beginning.
Therefore, after reading the information, Simon typed a simple prompt on the keyboard next to him, asking Girl A to send the information to Australia, reminding Anthony to pay attention to the economic situation in Latin America at any time and continue to buy various core mining assets in Latin America at the right time.
After doing this, Simon put the documents in front of him aside and took another one.
From China.
In addition to the daily routines of major investment projects, there are two other things that Simon paid special attention to, both of which are related to the film and television industry.
Speaking of which, Simon has always wanted to let go, but unfortunately it is obviously unlikely.
Just like when Ren Jingxi sent an email to ask for a plan some time ago, Simon couldn't help but typed thousands of words.
Just follow the trend.
Two things this time are: one is that the authorities formally issued a document to respond to the petition request of Hong Kong film and television industry personnel and agreed to open the mainland film market to Hong Kong. One of the main conditions is that Hong Kong films can enjoy a similar status as mainland film and television companies in the mainland and will no longer be treated in the form of imported films.
However, compared with the mainland's complete relaxation of Hong Kong movies after that petition, the gap this time is not too big.
First of all, it is still limited to the film field.
In terms of television, the ban on performing artists in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan was not lifted this time.
Secondly, although they enjoy the treatment of domestic films, Hong Kong companies still need to cooperate with film companies with distribution qualifications in the mainland, and they are not allowed to directly carry out development business in the mainland.
Obviously it is the result of the game.
The game between the top and the industry.
After all, Simon believes that the top leaders in the mainland do not lack the courage to completely relax Hong Kong. After all, the mainland is indeed heart-wrenching about Hong Kong. Not only does it cost a penny of taxes, it is all for their own use, but it also provides various supplies. According to the current situation, even a poor mother who is not completely full of food, she will have to let her son, who has a rich family, eat more after scraping the bottom of the pot.
Although, if you can't keep it, you can't keep it.
No more to say.
As for this matter, the poor mother has more than one son, so of course she cannot tolerate her mother being partial.
This is why this relatively compromise plan is achieved.
Even so, it is obvious that in the next few years, as before, the Hong Kong film and television industry will collectively enter the mainland, but things have not been done well, but there have been many bullshits.
I won't say much about this.
The second thing is that the movie distribution qualifications are officially opened to the private sector.
Unlike in 1999, only one Bona obtained the qualification for private issuance, this time there were three companies. Jinshu successfully occupied one, and the other two, one in Beijing and the other in Shanghai. According to the information, it was somewhat related to some state-owned assets background.
In fact, Simon also knew from the beginning that the distribution in mainland China was no longer a problem since it was very early, and there were countermeasures below.
This time it was put on the table.
Of course, there are definitely many benefits. At least we will first remove the uncertainty of purchasing factory targets from state-owned studios. After all, it is uncompliant and if it involves money, it is inevitable that it will be a mess.
Now that qualifications have been officially released, we no longer hide our ears, it is not so easy to return to the past.
Time flies like this when dealing with work emails.
When the Boeing 767 landed at Kennedy International Airport in New York, due to the time difference, it was already past three o'clock on the east coast.
Simon didn't start the schedule immediately and returned to his home in Westeros Building.
Speaking of which, in August, the summer vacation is coming to an end recently. The two Jenny and a group of little guys will return to Los Angeles again during this period. Although there is no shortage of private schools here that can be accessed at any time, both mothers and children are more accustomed to the environment there.
To be continued...
