The next morning, when Simon stepped on the treadmill to jog, Girl A brought the first batch of media "Soul Conjuring 4: Death" to him.

First of all, compared with the classic film history of "Soul Conjuring 3: Blood Moon", the comprehensive media score of this sequel has declined, but it still reaches a very excellent 8.6-point level.

Furthermore, as expected, the change in the film's style has been paid attention to by many media people.

For example, Roger Albert, a famous film critic who flew from Chicago to Los Angeles to attend the premiere last night, said in his personal column: "I found that "The Conjuring 4: Death" has made some quite interesting adjustments in the content, which are different from all other works in the Conjuring Cinema Universe series, but may bring some different experiences to the audience."

It is obviously because of Daenerys Entertainment's public relations. Albert did not use his sarcasm in the film reviews directly. However, careful readers can also feel that this critic does not agree with Daenerys' adjustments to the Conjuring Series.

In addition, some critics pointed out the idea that this movie "Conjuring 4: Death" is no longer so terrifying.

Of course, this is also deliberately done.

Although the previous "Soul Conjuring 3: Blood Moon" received a comprehensive media rating of 9.3 points in the classic film history, the local box office unfortunately failed to exceed 200 million US dollars. This may be due to the fact that "Ghost Record" had a strong impact on the horror film market at the same time. However, after Daenerys Entertainment's audience survey, this is just too scary, which has also restricted the market performance of the film to some extent.

After all, the frightening and phenomenal box office of "The Exorcist" back then was largely due to the pioneering nature of the film, an unprecedented first. However, "The Conjuring 3: Blood Moon" did not have this advantage. Even though the topic was still very hot at that time, when there were other options, it was said that it was too scary and the audience would not watch it if they didn't watch it.

Based on market feedback, and if the Soul Conjuring series wants to continue, it must also make a breakthrough, so the style of "Sul Conjuring 4: Death" has changed.

Simply put, the horror is still the same, but the extra fantasy elements will subtly neutralize the horror atmosphere of the film to a certain extent.

Simon personally cannot guarantee that this change will have any impact on the box office. If it is negative, it will definitely be adjusted next time. But if the market performs well, the entire Soul Conjuring Movie Universe series will actually have a way out to go further.

After all, if you repeatedly attack ghosts and catch ghosts, the audience will easily experience aesthetic fatigue over time.

This point is also another reason why "Soul Conjuring 3: Blood Moon" failed to exceed 200 million locally. At that time, this series had already made the audience feel a little tired.

In short, everything will have to wait for the results after the painting will be officially opened tomorrow.

After finishing the morning exercise, Simon washed and changed clothes and then went to the lobby of Shell Villa. It was seven o'clock in the morning. Everyone had not yet gone to the restaurant. Janet and Girl C were sitting on the sofa beside the curtain wall and chatting. There were two little guys Melbourne and Seattle, one reading a book and the other dazed.

Claire Gain came to Los Angeles with Simon yesterday, only one reason was that there was a little Westeros in the girl's belly.

It was probably during the fall press conference of Tinkobaier probably last month.

Simon's 26th little guy.

When he came closer, he leaned over and kissed Janet, and greeted C again. Claire took the initiative to give in to the side. Simon sat down between the two girls, looking at Janet who was hugging Seattle and ignoring his baby son, obviously looking biased to his mother: "What are you talking about?"

"C is talking about Tinkobaier's business expansion in China," said Janet. "It's amazing to achieve revenue of $1 billion this year. I didn't expect that the Chinese market would have such potential."

Simon nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's surprising."

I already knew about it in San Francisco yesterday.

Mainly last month, during the fall press conference, Tinkobaier opened its first two flagship stores in BJ and Shanghai in China at the same time. Before that, he only developed his business through an agency model.

Not to mention the rest, the revenue of only two flagship stores reached 53 million yuan in the first month of opening, which surprised many insiders. If this momentum can be maintained, just two flagship stores will bring more than 600 million yuan to Tinkobaier every year, equivalent to more than 70 million US dollars.

This is actually a microcosm of Tinkobaier's booming business in China.

China is now poor, but the base of 1.2 billion people is there, and there are really a lot of wealthy people.

Just like what Simon learned yesterday, China's tablet computer market is now mainly called PDA, and handheld computers. The basic model is generally priced at two or three thousand yuan. It is expected that the market sales volume will exceed 1.5 million units this year. A leading newspaper in China has recently conducted a special report on this topic.

You should know that Simon played some PDA samples sold in the Chinese market at Tinkobaier headquarters yesterday. Not to mention domestic products, even international brands such as Sony and Samsung are hard to describe, and they can only be described as useless.

However, such a "small rib" product can be sold in China for millions in a year and maintains a very high growth rate, which only shows that there are much more rich people in China than they thought.

Next, the Tinkobaier iPad series that has to be mentioned is absolutely high-end. In Simon's view, it is the only product to get rid of the useless label. The iPad-40, which was just released last month, is priced at US$899 in North America, equivalent to RMB 7,500, while the pricing in mainland China, the basic standard version, is as high as RMB 9,999.

This way, the price of two or three PDAs in other brands is to be purchased. The sales volume in mainland China started at the beginning of the month. In less than a month, the sales volume exceeded 20,000 units. Including the old models, it is expected that in 2000, it will be just an iPad product, and sales in mainland China will reach about 230,000 units.

The iPad is one of the most expensive products under Tincobaier, but this one is more popular in the Chinese market than iPlayer, iCam and other products. It is expected that this year, the revenue brought by this part of sales will account for about 20% of China's total revenue.

All of this actually shows that the potential of the Chinese market has reached a level that Tinkobaier could not ignore.

On the sofa beside the glass curtain wall.

Janet did not talk about these business data, but said: "I plan to temporarily add three days of Chinese itinerary to take a vacation to see it myself."

Compared to Jennifer, who mainly focuses on family, Jannette has always been responsible for many Westeros system businesses. The planned Asian itinerary before Thanksgiving is mainly to personally sort out the business layout of his own men in Southeast Asia, and he did not intend to go to China.

The temporary change was obviously inspired by the topic that Girl C just mentioned.

Of course Simon had no objection, so he thought about it and said, "Take Jenny with you and treat you two on vacation together."

Jenny said, "That kids are left to you?"

Simon: "This..."

Janet curled his lips slightly and pinched Simon's arm, then bent the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I'll ask my aunt to come and take care of the child."

"Um!"

Janet's hand was getting stronger and his smile turned bad: "However, my aunt probably doesn't have time recently, so she can only send it to the East Coast and let Sophie come to be a nanny. It just so happens that we spend Thanksgiving and Christmas there, which is more atmosphere."

Simon: "…"

Claire watched the little movements between his boss and his wife, skillfully pretending that he knew nothing and understood nothing.

I'm also an innocent passerby.

Um……

Why do you say ‘yes’?

Janet succeeded in the prank, let go of the man's arm, and found that his baby son, who was originally studying quietly on the single sofa next to him, probably because he heard someone's sake, raised his head with expectation, and suddenly he was angry. He raised his chin slightly and signaled: "Mer, come on, talk to your father about his reading insights. This movie... Well, who chose "Hundred Years of Solitude"?"

The little guy stood up obediently and said honestly: "Dad's list of books."

Janet glanced over and said, is this a book that the child could understand, and then turned it over: "Do you have any experience?"

Melbourne paused and keenly noticed that there was a small flame in her mother's tone. It was obviously not a time to talk about her reading experience seriously. She just wanted to find fault, but instinctively began to pretend to be stupid: "I think... it's very interesting."

Janet did not let it go, and raised some tone: "What else?"

Melbourne looked at his dad pitifully.

When it was rare to be a 'good policeman', Simon began to smooth things over: "Mer doesn't need to think too much now, just... Well, this is the original Spanish version, good, just language training. The writing of "Hundred Years of Solitude" is very interesting, just like the beginning of a classic, Melbourne can be used as a reference for imitation. For example, many years later, Mr. Melbourne, who inherited the Westeros family, stood by the glass curtain wall of Shell Villa, facing the vast sky and the sea, he would definitely remember the distant morning when his mother made excuses to scold him. Look, what a good sentence."

After Simon finished speaking, the little guy continued to pretend to be innocent. Claire held back his laughter. Janet raised his hand and pinched it over again, waved his hand to his son unhappily: "Little bad guy, disappear from my eyes immediately."

Melbourne fled in panic.

Janet let go of his man and hugged the baby daughter who was still dazed beside her intimately: "Seal is the most obedient, they will only anger me."

The eldest mother was so intimate that Seattle was interrupted by her thoughts, and some helplessness flashed through her expression. She still cooperated to post it with Janet, which made Janet very happy. She picked up her baby's little head and kissed her on that beautiful face several times.

Simon continued to be speechless,

The C girl next to her couldn't help but ask the man around her softly: "Boss, the lady is always like this... are you thinking about things?"

"Yes," Simon nodded, and couldn't help but joke: "I probably miss my mother star too much."

The IQ of the Westeros’ eldest daughter is extraordinary, or in other words, it has exceeded the cognition of ordinary people. Even her father thinks that her daughter is like an alien, and the feelings of others around her can be imagined.

Simon could make fun of him, but Claire didn't agree, just smiled.

But I couldn't help but think that it would be better not to be too smart in the future for my baby. Well, it's okay to be a little smarter than Elliot of Girl D.

Elliot Westeros, the son of D-girl, who was born at the end of last year, only one year old in December, but now he has no problem speaking and walking, which is obviously beyond most of his peers.

Referring to the unanimous opinions of other little guys in the Wei family, this is obviously because the boss has a good gene.

As they chatted like this, Jennifer came over and called for someone and everyone went to the restaurant together.

At the dining table, Janet talked about the Asian trip that increased the itinerary and the man wanted Jennifer to be with him. The female assistant asked about the children’s arrangements and agreed.

Looking at Simon with some anticipation.

Simon can only regret that he can't leave recently, and he doesn't want to go to China so often.

After breakfast, everyone starts a new day.

This is October 26th.

Thursday.

There is also a birthday party tomorrow, and the last of the little guys last year, Roberta Chilco's Adam Westeros, so Simon has only one morning and will set off again for New York after lunch.

I rushed to Daenerys Cinema at 8 o'clock, processed a batch of daily documents, and started a meeting at 9 o'clock. The content was to discuss a press conference that Daenerys will hold on this Sunday, October 29.

This is something that Daenerys finalized with Amy Pascal after the release of its financial report last week. The title of the press conference is "Hug the Internet". It only depends on the name and the content can be imagined. Simply put, it is to draw a big pie for Daenerys Entertainment's information layout again. The goal is to stimulate the last jump of Daenerys Entertainment's stock price and sprint for the trillion-dollar market value.

Because it's a big cake, Simon is actually not very concerned about it.

The half-hour meeting ended, and for the rest of the morning, Simon spent the rest of the morning discussing the release plans for the two major schedules at the end of the year with his senior executives. Until he left after lunch, he also took a sample of "Gritch" on the plane.

The upcoming end of the year, the two most important films are the "Justice League: Invasion" in the Thanksgiving period and the second "Lord of the Rings 2: The Twin Towers" in the Christmas Lord of the Rings series.

In addition to the two super bombshells at the level of monsters, Daenerys will launch a series of other projects as usual.

"The Grinch", which won the annual box office championship in North America in 2000 in the original time and space, is the film that Simon attaches most importance to after two major highlights. The sample reviewed in advance and the complete view of the films on the plane. Even if the protagonist is replaced by Jim Carrey to Ben Stiller, the effect is still satisfactory.

As for the box office, Simon did not expect the 260 million figure in North America this time, after all, the Lord of the Rings were blocked there during the Christmas season.

Therefore, as long as the local area can exceed 100 million this time, it will be a satisfactory result. After all, compared with the production budget of the Jim Carrey version that exceeded 100 million, because the production specifications were reduced across the board, this time it only cost 60 million US dollars.

The local area exceeds 100 million, and most of the investment can be recovered directly.

To achieve the goal of exceeding 100 million, even if this project will not be able to make great contributions overseas due to cultural factors, it is still easy to enter the profit cycle of the global theater issuance stage.
