After the millennium, infected by the atmosphere of the night, Simon simply flew to Hawaii with a group of women the next day, taking a short vacation, and the perfect time for his father and mother without the little guys bothering him.

Although.

After the vacation was over, Simon also decided to take a few more days off for himself.

On another vacation, I went to Australia again.

Both Christmas and New Year's Day have not passed. After the festival, we still have to visit our relatives, both east and west, and it is actually the same. What's more, we have to go over and take our eldest son back, so as not to be deceived by an old man who is over 90 years old to hunt.

The little one is not worried, mainly another one.

Even though the old man is still in good spirits, he will definitely not be able to withstand any bumps at this age. As for playing with guns, it is even more inappropriate. It is okay to continue your hobbies and collect more watches. If you really can't, you can buy a few watches.

...

In Hollywood, Simon went to Australia to visit relatives, and the last box office week that spanned Christmas at the end of the year was soon over.

The North American film market once again flipped from December 31, 1999 to January 6, 2000.

The top spot this week is no longer "The Brave Game 2", but "Chicago".

The following week of release, "Chicago" still maintained its second week's box office of more than 40 million US dollars with a box office drop of 18%, reaching 40.54 million US dollars, and its cumulative box office also exceeded 90.3 million US dollars. It is a miracle for an old-fashioned musical film.

Gaomen Pictures team analyzed that this trend is mainly due to last week. Because of Christmas, most viewers often bring family members, so they tend to be family-friendly. This is also the reason why Disney's "Magic Elf" with a very good reputation last week was able to maintain a good trend last week, and even "Racing Movement" achieved a slight reverse decline.

In comparison, even if it is not R-level, "Chicago" has reached PG-13. Moreover, this PG-13 obviously has the elements of Daenerys' public relations operation. After all, the plot of the film is both murderous and thigh, and it is not suitable for children to watch at all, and it is not even suitable for minors.

Therefore, during the Christmas week, the box office potential of "Chicago" was actually suppressed.

During the New Year's Day week, even though many viewers still tend to have family fun, more people began to become interested in the song and dance film "Chicago", which caused a slight decline of 18% in the next week of the film.

In the first week of the film's painting, thanks to its excellent reputation and 7 nominations for the Golden Globes, everyone thinks that "Chicago" can definitely make a beautiful long-term trend.

Now, the cumulative box office has exceeded 90 million US dollars in two weeks. If you go out of a long-term trend next, then... how much are you going to?

Two hundred million?

More than enough.

Three hundred million?

If "Chicago" can be a big hit in the next awards season, coupled with the huge popularity accumulated by the top spot for two consecutive weeks, the local box office threshold of $300 million can be really expected.

Anyway, with the release of the box office of "Chicago" the next week, Hollywood has been exploring similar song and dance projects.

So popular, don't follow the trend, follow?

Then, the second place on the list was not "The Brave Game 2", but was beaten by "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Messenger".

In the fourth week of the release, there was no new film to be released. The decline of "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Messenger" narrowed again to 25% compared with last week, earning $35.04 million, and the cumulative box office reached $240.73 million.

Steadily advancing towards US$300 million.

Judging from the current trend, it is expected to be comparable to the size of "Cylinder 2".

Daenerys Entertainment has some regrets because of this. If you can win the Golden Globe Awards and even the next Oscar nomination for "Lord of the Rings: The Envoy of the Rings", it is not impossible for the local movie to rely on a long-term impact of 400 million yuan. As for overseas, if you can have the halo of awards and the wide influence of the "Lord of the Rings" series of novels, the global level of 1 billion is not a luxury.

However, the strategy was initially decided, and if you really compete with "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Messenger", even if you can get a nomination, the possibility of you finally winning the award is very small. After all, this is still a commercial film. Even if it is artistic enough, it is still useless to lack some connotations that are sufficient to win the award.

Of course, Simon remembered the Oscars that the ending chapter of the Lord of the Rings trilogy once killed everyone, and also knew that the first two "Lord of the Rings" did not get nothing at least in the nominations. However, since the quality is not enough, there is no need to do useless work for the time being.

It was finally the third place on the list that it was finally released in the third week of "The Brave Game 2".

Compared with the pretty good 36% decline control the next week, "Game of the Brave 2" lost 43% this week, earning only US$29.78 million, and a cumulative box office of US$163.7 million.

It is still okay to break through 200 million, but it is limited to the 200 million level that is the same as the first plot.

In addition to the first three films, this time, the single-week box office of other projects has dropped to within the tens of millions of dollars. Moreover, the box office trends of all films have basically been determined, and it is difficult to have too many variables in the future.

...

While Hollywood's end of the year end, the film market in China across the ocean is lively.

The "New Millennium, New Generation" publicity campaign of Jinshu Media and Huanzhu Film and Television has achieved unexpected success, which is really unexpected.

From December 31 to January 6, the same box office week, two small-cost production videos promoted by the "New Millennium, New Generation" have become two must-see videos for many people to cross the millennium under the widespread publicity of all levels.

In fact, even if you have received the influence of Hollywood's super bombshells, Chinese audiences are not too sensitive to this. On the contrary, under the publicity of Jinshu and the two new generation directors are full of curiosity and some instinctive support for the weak.

In addition, it is ultimately a "welcoming the millennium". At least among young people, it seems most appropriate to take the opportunity to watch a movie.

The result was that two small-budget movies, first of which, "Wormhole", quickly won a box office of RMB 37 million in the first week of the painting, which shocked a large number of people in the circle.

A small cost of 2 million.

It's only 2 million.

Why did the box office be 37 million in one week?

A return on investment of more than ten times, not to mention, it is just the beginning!

Then, the box office of "Tongtianpu", which was mainly promoted by Jinshu, also reached 29 million yuan in the first seven days of the first week.

This first made a group of people in Jinshu remember an argument that someone once said, pure martial arts, because Hong Kong and Taiwan have shot all the models that should be shot. In the new era, it is difficult for martial arts films to achieve too much.

Therefore, "Die Renjie: The Empire of Tongtian" that combines martial arts and monsters is extended. It must retain the spirit of martial arts, but at the same time, it must go further and add the elements of mysterious and strange things to make the project more selling points than simple martial arts.

This is off-topic.

In short, although the cost was directly recovered in the first week, the production cost of "Tongtianpu" with a production cost of 5 million yuan was a big difference between "Wormhole" with a production cost of only 2 million yuan. This made it seem that the Chinese film circle, which was about to move due to the recovery of the industry, seemed to have found its direction.

To shoot modern dramas, to shoot comedy.

But, the question is again, what should I take and how to take it?

In fact, there is no shortage of comedy in China. Some comedy artists who have been active on the small screen in recent years, especially during the Spring Festival Gala, have more or less participated in the filming of movies. The theme is of course comedy, and most of them go straight to the New Year schedule, but not many of them can cause too much direction.

This again involves a theory proposed by Simon.

After staying on the small screen for a long time, it is inevitable that it will feel cheap, making the audience feel that I can see it on the small screen for free. Why do I have to spend money to enter the cinema to watch the big screen?

In any case, this unexpected New Year's Eve schedule, such a small film with a combined production cost of only $7 million, is not a problem with both of them exceeding 100 million, and it is really a stuttering point.

...

In Beijing, time is on Saturday, January 8th.

Because it is not just the two films that sell, but in fact, the first battle of the entire "New Millennium, New Generation" plan has won. Even if the films in Jinshu have not been able to play the small part of Huanzhu Film and Television, it still took the initiative to plan to hold a celebration dinner directly this Saturday.

The roadshow team that ran around the country, which happened to be intensively around the film was released, has also returned.

There are many things happening in the Huanzhu Film and Television headquarters near Beijing Normal University recently. In addition to the promotion of "Wormhole", there are also some subsequent releases after the perfect ending of "Like the Water", as well as "My Fair Princess 2", which will be grandly launched in the middle of the month. Not only that, Ren Jingxi is also planning a martial arts reality show. In short, she is very busy, so she worked all day on Saturday.

In the evening, Ren Jingxi directly brought her father who wanted to get home from get off work and went to Xidan Hotel, where the banquet was held.

Ren's father has a very upright personality and has never been interested in these social engagements, or has instinctively resisted. However, when his daughter "threatened" that if the father was unwilling to be with her, she could only take her younger brother, so she compromised. She also threatened in turn that if the eldest daughter dared to take her son to those messy places, she would...

Ren's father couldn't say anything like breaking his legs, and he couldn't say anything other harsh words, and then he got stuck.

My children are all older and can't control them.

After all, I was taken over.

In fact, I also know that my daughter is still inseparable from the big man in the United States, and the father and daughter are quite open-minded. Ren Jingxi admitted that the other party really wanted to let go. This time she took the initiative, or she did have some ideas to repay kindness, but more so... she really liked it.

I heard my daughter talk a lot about that foreign man in private, just those songs and the other party’s profound attainments in Chinese culture. Apart from the indecisiveness that Ren’s father couldn’t stand, such a person could not find any other problems.

Obviously it wasn't his turn to take care of any faults, a Chinese Chinese teacher. After all, that was where he could easily sit in the hall and chat with the big guys.

Therefore, Ren's father was not worried about the occasion his daughter attended.

With that man here, Ren's father didn't think anyone would harass his daughter at all. Thinking about it this way was also a benefit.

If this happens, if he is forced to attend, his daughter will obviously just let him relax one more time. According to a certain saying, it is to enjoy life.

Capitalism!

Sure enough, when he arrived at the banquet hall of Xidan Hotel, Ren Jingxi immediately turned against him and just introduced his father to Wu Shanlin, General Manager Han of China Film and Television, and others, he ignored him and let him move freely.

If my father could find her a little mother, he would just turn on champagne tonight.

Although, it's unlikely.

My mother's unexpected departure was a pain that was difficult to eliminate even if the family didn't want to talk about. My father was the one who was most hurt. He had no intention of re-stringing at all. I just hope that the three of them could be well and be safe and happy.

There is still some time left for the dinner, which happens to be reserved for social events.

Ren Jingxi first saw the tall Jian Xin and went over to greet her. When would she come back? She learned that she was going to shoot a refrigerator advertisement. She also knew that the company was also asking the other party’s offer half-jokingly. She could afford Miss Ren, who is already an international supermodel, and the bid should not be too low.

Jian Xin did not hide it, and raised a finger and shook it.

Ren Jingxi is clear, either 10 million or 1 million US dollars, which is almost the same.

Of course, there is no way to compare the endorsement of Western stars that can be as many as millions of dollars, but in China, this is already the top price. Ren Jingxi knows that the famous Jack Cheng in Hong Kong, filmed advertisements for domestic companies in the past two years, only 8 million yuan. Of course, the human factors are included, but it is impossible for the country to give higher prices.

In fact, of course, it is not a waste of inquiries. They are all very precious data.

For example, artists under his Jinshu Film and Television Company accept advertisements and become familiar with the market conditions, they can maximize their profits as much as possible. Ren Jingxi can be said to be self-taught when learning these details.

As he was talking, his artists came to greet him.

It's a little maid.

There is no shadow of the other two.
