Chapter 1664: The heat on both ends of the earth

After leaving the bedroom, a group of women who had only time to put on their pajamas followed Simon out.

It was the morning of the next day.

As usual, it was a wonderful night, but Simon had no time to have breakfast with the women. In the morning, he had an appointment with Verizon's Raymond Smith to discuss the promotion progress of Verizon's 3G network.

Listening to the words of several women trying to keep them, Simon said to Dashuangzi beside him: "Go back to China and develop well with Jingxi. I know you want to stay in the United States, but listen to me, this is not a good choice. Maybe in other fields, foreigners will have many opportunities to immigrate, but actors are exceptional. Since you know Qiong, you should be very clear about the situation of Chinese people in Hollywood."

When Simon said this, Qiongchen immediately showed a resentful expression. Da Shuangzi nodded and agreed gently, her expression was obviously disappointed.

However, Miss Yang, who was holding a big boy next to her, said bluntly when she heard this: "Simon, can't you help us?"

The woman said this, and the other two immediately expressed hope again.

Simon shook his head: "You must understand a reality. Any circle, any field, and resources are limited. For example, Hollywood, Zheng, you and Qiong are of similar age and style. So, once an opportunity appears, do you think it is easier for Qiong, who has been working in Hollywood for more than ten years, to get the opportunity, or is it easier for you to get the opportunity?"

Da Shuangzi glanced at Qiong Chen on the other side and whispered: "Of course it's Sister Chen."

Simon smiled and said, "You must be thinking, as long as I say something, it will definitely be yours."

Da Shuangzi embarrassedly raised her beautiful eyes: "No."

"That's the truth," Simon said: "But the problem is that Hollywood actually has very few opportunities for Chinese actors. Whether you take more, or even give them all to you, it is not enough to support you to become a top star in Hollywood, at most a flash in the pan. This is what I said is limited resources. Of course, I can change this state and force you to give you more resources that are not suitable for you, but this is contrary to Hollywood's business rules. Hollywood's film projects are often invested tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, and even I will not do so randomly."

The man said so clearly that Da Shuangzi completely gave up the idea. Even though he still couldn't hide his loss, he still said obediently: "Simon, I understand, I will return to China soon."

Simon continued: "You should have some understanding of the growth rate of China's film and television industry. Maybe you can't make much money before, but in the future, with the growth of China's economy, I believe that this situation will soon change. If you occupy a position in advance, you will get more resources and a higher industry status just like Chen went to Hollywood first. Isn't there a saying in China? It's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Listen to me, it's definitely right."

"Um."

No matter what Da Shuangzi thinks, to be honest, after hearing what the man said, Qiong Chen on the other side felt thoughtful. After so many years of living in Hollywood, outsiders may seem to be glorious, but for Chen himself, he knows the joys and sorrows.

He said that and came downstairs.

Angeli and A were already waiting in the living room. Simon finally looked at a woman who confirmed last night that she was still Miss Yang instead of Ms. Yang: "Yang, didn't you say you were interested in creating an interview program last night? Let Ange give you Chen Qing's contact information later, she will help you."

Miss Yang saw that the man who had just walked downstairs was just telling Da Shuangzi, and thought that there was no such thing as her, but she was still very disappointed. When she heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Simon, is it really? Thank you so much."

You know, she happened to have heard of the famous Chen Qing in China now.

Simon just smiled and said, "You can discuss it yourself."

After saying that, he stopped talking about anything else and took a girl out with him.

As for the remaining matters, the butler will definitely handle them well.

When the man got in the car and left, the door of the villa closed again, and a group of women had different thoughts.

Speaking of which, only Miss Yang is in a positive mood.

After coming to the United States for more than a month, before the man appeared, Da Shuangzi almost thought that she could easily settle here, even if she was just a big lover, recalling all the experiences she experienced during the past period, as long as she could always enjoy everything she is now, what would that be?

Therefore, even if the man just said that the development prospects of China's film and television industry are real, it doesn't matter. As long as she can stay here, it doesn't matter even if she doesn't become an actor.

However, now that men say that, she can only pack up her things obediently and prepare to return to China.

Qiong Chen was the most disappointed. The man just gave nothing except to compare her.

It's really, it's abominable.

But I only dare to complain a little in my heart.

There are two more, the two maids who were responsible for accompanying Dashuangzi during this period, Wen Die and Xia Zhi. Well, the radicals were removed by a man last night and became Xia Zhi. Whether it was the bold former or the shy latter, they were a little confused. In fact, Chen Qing was directly selected from China by Chen Qing, and she didn't even have the experience of studying in the United States. This is why Xia Zhi performed extremely poorly in front of a big man last night. In short, before last night, he was very satisfied with the current job that was so good that he was a little unreal, even if he had already explained what he might have to pay.

Now, um, then what?

Then, of course, there are some fixed procedures.

However, for the female housekeeper, one thing must be solved first. After all, if the boss has not received an explanation, he must not let any woman out of the room.

I ended my dinner with Raymond Smith in the morning. Simon arrived at Daenerys East Coast headquarters on West 66th Street, Upper West Side at 9 o'clock in the morning. The first thing I paid attention to was the box office status of Hollywood during the summer season.

Today is July 7th.

Friday.

Another box office week ends.

The box office week just passed from June 30 to July 6, with the highly anticipated Hangover 2, which lasted for seven days, and finally won $87.39 million in the box office. Even if it was slightly lower than the previous forecast of 90 million, it still improved a lot compared to the $56.51 million data in the first week of the first part of the first part, which is a success.

Then there is Charlie's Angel 2.

The following week of release, facing the impact of new films such as Hangover 2, Charlie Angel 2 still maintained a good drop of 34%. The second week of the paintings was launched, and it closed at another $60.28 million, with a cumulative box office of $151.62 million, with no suspense about the local area exceeding 200 million.

Speaking of which, Hangover 2 failed to break through the expected number of 90 million in the first week, and it also caused the reason why the Charlie Angel's two-time weekly results were too good.

It’s still the rise and fall of one’s own family.

However, it is also a kind of increase and decrease that makes other Hollywood studios envious. After all, these two strong blockbusters have already impacted all other films of the same period, and none of them is worth mentioning in front of two.

Let’s talk about the series of films since the start of the summer season, there is also the Finding Nemo that will be painted on June 1.

As of the past box office week, Finding Nemo has been released for five weeks. With the box office of $24.63 million in the past week, the cumulative box office of this 3D animated blockbuster has reached $293.78 million, which can almost be said to be at the 300 million level. It is not only the most popular movie in this summer, but also the current 2000 annual box office championship.

According to the box office trend of the previous week, Finding Nemo is expected to have a box office potential of US$50 million to US$60 million in the future, and the total box office is very likely to reach more than US$360 million.

In 2000, there are only the first and second parts of Justice League at the end of the year, which are expected to break the Finding Nemo record.

In addition to these released videos, there are the 300 Spartan Warriors who just started painting on a large scale today.

After the premiere on July 4, the word-of-mouth was lifted the ban the next day, which was controversial.

First of all, the comprehensive media score is significantly lower than the previous expectations of the publicity and promotion team. Even with Daenerys Entertainment's strong public relations offensive bonus, the comprehensive media score of the Spartan 300 Warriors is only 6.9 points, which is only beyond the passing level, and even good points above 7 points are not counted.

Among the critical remarks, the famous film critic Roger Albert's views are the most representative: "Like a mechanical copy of a comic, one scene after another, stereotyped and boring."

To be more straightforward, it is too stylized.

Basically, it brought Frank Miller's original comics to the big screen in the form of dynamic shots, lacking the innovation and thinking that filmmakers should have.

Secondly, in sharp contrast with relatively ordinary scores is a widespread discussion on the Internet public platform.

Known film critics think it is rigid and mechanical, but the public rarely sees such a novel shooting technique. The pictures are so amazing that every frame can be used as computer screen wallpaper. Such a movie has never been before, at least in most people's memories.

Therefore, whether it is a professional movie website, a social networking website like Yahoo's movie forum or Facebook, topics related to the Spartan 300 Warriors have become popular entries in just a few days after the premiere.

Even though there is also controversy in this discussion, Daenerys's promotional and promotion team quickly made a judgment that this will be a hit film that has a word-of-mouth effect to a certain extent.

In general, even if the reputation is not satisfactory, commercial success can be expected.

You should know that even if the production cost of this movie reaches the bombshell level, it is actually only 60 million US dollars, which is relatively low compared to other blockbusters. Therefore, as long as the local box office can exceed 100 million, from comprehensive feedback from all aspects, this goal is not a big problem. Then, relying solely on the local market, most of the production costs can be basically recovered.

Another $20 million in publicity is obviously not a problem.

Now, just wait for the box office figures.

At the same time, the level of hot discussion among the 300 Warriors in Spartan was not as good as that of another movie.

It's just on the other side of the ocean and the other end of the earth.

It was also July 7th, as the main feature of China's summer season, Zhou Xingxing's new movie Kung Fu was a national carnival.

Of course, the reason is very simple.

A unique and unique style!

Of course, it is not to say that this only film is the only film in China's summer season. In fact, compared with the time and space, with the recovery of China's film and television industry after several reforms, this summer season has been released since June, most of which are domestic films from China.

However, the popularity of Kung Fu is too high.

The cost of 200 million yuan is equivalent to 200 million yuan. The well-known starring Zhou Xingxing, with a Kung Fu theme, will take over the heroes and the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and other discourse films that once again impact the North American market. Such a series of halos have made this movie attract much attention since its start filming.

As the film approaches, Jinshu Media, responsible for the distribution of mainland China, directly spent 30 million yuan in promotional and distribution expenses, from Zhou Xingxing himself to the little things produced by Kung Fu, from the growth of the Chinese special effects team to the significance of bringing glory to the country in this film, from TV platforms to newspapers and magazines, to the already large-scale online media in mainland China, it has blossomed in full swing.

Not only that, on July 1st a week in advance, Kung Fu also held a grand and meaningful premiere in the conference hall, and the final stage of the promotion and promotion increased the popularity of the film again.

As for the reputation of the film, the relatively controversial Spartan 300 Warriors is impeccable. Even some critics who don’t like Zhou Xingxing’s movie style have to admit that this is definitely the most outstanding movie Zhou Xingxing has since filmed. On some movie websites or movie forums that have just developed in the mainland, the reputation score of this movie is basically above 9 points.

In the end, on July 7th, Kung Fu won up to 73% of the screening volume nationwide in one go.

All other videos during the same period were sidelined.

The reason why there is even 27% of the screening is not that it cannot get it here, but that Jinshu has given up voluntarily for the sake of preventing piracy and other considerations. It is conceivable, so it is naturally inevitable that some complaints and controversy will arise. However, with the blessing of such a huge halo, who cares?

The videos that are squeezed out of the market can only blame themselves.

Even though I knew that my skills were right in front of me, I still chose to go up against the wind, and my courage was commendable and IQ was insufficient.

Therefore, on Friday, July 7, even during the day or on weekdays, with a large number of young students who are infinitely respectful to Zhou Xingxing’s movies, the film has just officially started, and there are rare queuing scenes in front of cinemas in various places. In even more scarce theaters with imax screens, scalpers directly raised the price of imax movie tickets tripled.

The news was spread on the Internet, and Jinshu had to deal with it urgently.

Stay until the evening, the scene is even more lively.

This has attracted many city news in the region to report this, because of a movie, the streets in the evening have become more prosperous.

Even, inevitably, some small messes such as fighting and fighting have occurred.

Such a restless scene lasted until late at night. Before it was finished, a cinema in Beijing, after the last movie tickets for the midnight show were sold out, even the "station tickets" that were secretly sold could not be increased. A large number of viewers who were still waiting were dissatisfied and clamored, demanding a temporary increase in the number of scenes. They also said that they would not leave if they did not increase, and they would call to report, which forced the theater management team to call the police.

However, the final result still increased the number of games that started at 1:00 a.m.
Chapter completed!
