In a relaxed atmosphere of chatting and laughing, talking and talking a few words, an unconscious story about "The Three-Body Problem" was born. When several classic theories in "The Three-Body Problem" were casually guided by Simon, Sylvia only felt wonderful.

That's so simple?

Of course it is not simple, but only a little girl with bright eyes can understand what happened while sitting. However, although the little girl was very interested in some of the statements in the story, she couldn't help but start to think about the others, including where her father came from and where she would go.

Because of a special brain, the world in the eyes of a little girl is different from that of ordinary people.

Sylvia is Anthony's second child. Compared to her 6-year-old youngest sister Rebecca, she was actually born in 1971 and is 28 years old this year. When she was in college, she did not go to study in the UK and the United States like most of the upper-class children in Australia. Instead, she studied history directly at the University of Melbourne. The subject was in line with her own class. Then she joined Johnston Holdings and is currently engaged to her boyfriend who is a good match in the upper-class Australian class and plans to complete her wedding this summer.

A step-by-step life.

After such a chat, the girl unexpectedly aroused her long-standing literary hobby. She also talked about running a literary magazine in college and volunteering to complete the story, hoping that uncle Simon, who is only three years older than her, could make a movie.

Simon doesn't care.

I just think that this story seems to be more appropriate to shoot a TV series. Sylvia obviously doesn't mind, saying that TV series is just a TV series. It just so happens that what DHO needs most is all about heavyweights. Since that's the case, things will be decided.

This is actually the case in Hollywood. Although it often invests tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, the emergence of many old classics is often just a flash of inspiration in life, not as high-end as ordinary people imagine. The most typical one is "Terminator", which is just a dream.

Simon was also curious, but he just referred to some of the structures given by his memory. This time, the brand new "Three-Body Problem" will be written by Sylvia.

It's like, the beginning has changed.

During the chat, the story begins as World War II. The heroine witnessed the war and killing between humans with her own eyes, and lost her closest relatives, so she lost hope for the world. Time entered the Cold War, the US-Soviet battle for hegemony, and secret alien research found that there were aliens on the three stars of Centaurus, the story unfolded.

...

After staying in Australia for a week, Simon returned to North America on January 21 because this Sunday was the 57th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards.

There is no intention to attend.

There has been too much work here, and it is impossible for me to continue staying in Melbourne. However, Jenny and the others will still wait until February to return this time.

After taking such a long vacation, I continued to work on the weekend.

First of all, we will pay attention to the past end of 1999.

As time comes in late January, Simon is more concerned about the specific trends, and there are only two movies left at the moment, one is "Chicago" and the other is "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Messenger".

The box office week just passed, from January 14 to January 20, "Chicago" was released in the fourth week. It has been counterattacked for two consecutive weeks since the third week to become the single-week box office champion. With its excellent reputation and continued high popularity, after a 31% decline that slightly deepened a week after the New Year's Day, the decline narrowed again to 19%, earning $22.65 million.

After four weeks of release, the cumulative box office of this musical and dance film quickly reached US$140.92 million.

Although it is unlikely to go up to 300 million as expected after the first weekly box office was released, how far can it go after a stable 200 million yuan is still worth looking forward to. Therefore, the performance of "Chicago" in this awards season is crucial, and Gaomen Pictures' attitude is that it cannot be missed.

The second place is "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Messenger".

In the sixth week of release, the first song of the Lord of the Rings fell by 29%, continuing to earn US$19.15 million, with a cumulative box office of US$286.56 million.

In the next two weeks, the local box office of "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Messenger" will exceed 300 million. It is expected that the total volume will not change much, and it will still be comparable to "Cylinder 2", about 330 million to 350 million US dollars.

However, the overseas performance of this fantasy epic masterpiece is unexpectedly stronger than that of "Cylinder Bones 2". Judging from the recent cumulative overseas data, the overseas box office of "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Guardian" is likely to reach US$600 million, so it will push the global total box office to US$900 million, or even close to US$1 billion.

In addition to the two films, "Cylinder 2", which has entered the final stage of less than $10 million in a single week, and the total local box office volume is more obvious, and the landing point will be between $330 million and $340 million.

Overseas, judging from the current trend, the overseas revenue of this DC super masterpiece is about 500 million to 600 million US dollars, which means that the global box office is between 800 million and 900 million US dollars, and at most it is barely crossed the threshold of 900 million, which is not as good as the potential of the first song of "The Lord of the Rings".

After two super heavy hits at the 300 million-level local movies, it is "The Brave Game 2" and "Radiocars". The trends of the two films are basically confirmed, both of which are 200 million US dollars in size. Among them, "The Brave Game" is slightly ahead, with an estimated local size of between 220 million and 230 million US dollars. "The Brave Game 2" is slightly better, between 210 million and 220 million US dollars.

Overseas, "Racing Movement" is somewhat inferior to "The Brave Game 2". The former has an overseas size of about US$200 million, with a global box office of between US$400 million and US$500 million. "The Brave Game 2" is easy to exceed 300 million overseas, so global expectations are also above US$500 million.

Of course, in terms of box office, "Racing Story" is not only incomparable to the super masterpieces of the same period, but also a little behind in the Pixar animation series. But when it comes to peripherals, it was only two months at the end of the year, but in the United States, by the end of December, the peripheral sales brought by this 3D animation quickly exceeded US$1 billion, reaching a huge amount of US$1.17 billion. In Shanghai, the total sales of the film exceeded US$1.6 billion in less than two months at the end of 1999.

In short, if you compare this way, you can only call dad in other projects during the same period.

Because of the super big sales around "Racing Story", of course, the success of films such as "Lord of the Rings: The Rings Messenger" at the end of 1999 was not ignored. Daenerys Entertainment, which had been able to chase after Igret, has been steadily suppressing the former in recent months, becoming the world's largest market value super giant.

Later, MGM's "007 Casino Royale" has a total local box office of US$161 million, and is expected to exceed 300 million overseas. The global box office is about US$500 million, which is also a good performance.

Finally, there are "Alien 3" and "Genius Ripley", both projects unfortunately stopped outside the 100 million yuan box office threshold. "Alien 3"'s local box office is expected to be about 93 million, while "Genius Ripley" will stay around 88 million. However, similarly, the overseas performance of both projects is stronger than that of the local one, and it is expected to be a global scale of US$200 million.

In addition to a series of films in the end of 1999, there is also the documentary "Mount Everest" in September last year. The global release has been basically completed recently, including China. The documentary's domestic box office is US$106 million, and overseas, including China's RMB 114 million, totaling approximately US$137 million. The total global box office is US$243 million.

The total investment of more than 10 million US dollars was US$243 million worldwide, with a return on investment of more than 20 times, which is higher than the total investment of "Ghost Records 2", which invested a total of US$25 million worldwide in the summer of last year, making it the highest return rate in 1999.

The most important thing is that this is a documentary, which makes people speechless and amazing.

Finally, as of December 31, 1999, the total box office of the North American film market in the past year was US$6.73 billion, of which were only films directly released by Daenerys Entertainment. Not counting the cooperation projects such as "The Brave Game 2", the total box office of the final hit reached US$3.46 billion, accounting for 51%.

The reactions from other Hollywood studios to this point were all powerless and numb. Before they knew it, everyone was becoming more and more accustomed to the strength of Daenerys Entertainment.
