As the Westeros system gradually completed the financing transactions of Igret and the acquisition of Christie's, the time also entered May 1993.

As the summer season approaches, many blockbuster movies this summer have begun their final sprint publicity phase.

The main focus of Daenerys Entertainment this summer season should theoretically be "Superman", but according to the original agreement, the distribution rights of the film were handled by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Several other movies, "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" is a collaboration with Disney, and "Gotun Assassination Order" is a collaboration with Warner Bros. Only "The Sugar-Coated Trap" starring Keanu Reeves is personally distributed by Daenerys Pictures. In addition, for the four-month summer season, two other brands under Daenerys Entertainment, New World Pictures and Gaomen Pictures, will also launch their own films in the summer season.

At the same time, after this period of operation, Daenerys Entertainment's record business has been officially transformed by Daenerys Record Group (DMG). In fact, it is mainly the name, and there is no major adjustment within the record group for the time being.

On the other hand, Barry Weiss, the president of Jive Records who once created Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears, successfully switched to Daenerys Records Group at the invitation of Daenerys Entertainment.

After the reorganization of the record business, Richard Palmes, the former president of Universal Records, was transferred to the CEO of Daenerys Records Group, responsible for managing the overall situation of DMG.

After years of development, large record groups are basically composed of many record subsidiaries at this stage.

Universal Records originally seemed to be a company, but in fact, there are 7 record subsidiaries under its stakes, such as Geffen Records where Gun Rose is located, Deca Records where Xueer is located, Futuristic Records that focuses on death rock, etc. There are countless sub-labels that were once active and fell into the opportunity as their artists terminated their contracts or were out of date.

Simon gave Barry Weiss the position of president of Infinity Records, a record subsidiary of DMG. Although his position is comparable to that of Jive Records, the resources and authority that can be called far exceed that of Jive Records.

Infinity Records will focus on creating young pop singers next, and its parent company DMG will do its best to ensure the promotion and promotion of the singers signed by this subsidiary.

Simon can actually give Barry Weiss a higher position, but for the huge DMG, being too high will only cause Barry Weiss to fall into unnecessary administrative affairs. Leaving an Infinity Records subsidiary to the other party will instead make Barry Weiss focus more on the youth pop field.

The initial adjustment of the record business was completed, and Barry Weiss also successfully joined the company. The next step was to find a contracted singer.

Compared with Hollywood, where actors are clearly hierarchical, the music industry is probably divided into two types of singers, one is already famous and the other is not.

This does not mean that there is no distinction between singers, but that the competition in this industry is far more intense than that in Hollywood. When an actor is not famous, he can still live at the bottom and wait for opportunities. For singers, it is impossible to have many movies and TV series for you to play supporting roles. If you have not signed a record company and become famous, then you are nothing.

However, compared to the actor industry that requires talent and skills, singing is much lower for most people.

This also leads to the number of young people who dream of being a singer, no less than the unknown little actors who are scattered at the bottom of Hollywood.

Therefore, many record companies can receive a large number of self-recommended audition tapes submitted by potential singers almost every day.

However, the larger the record company, the more cautious the signing singer will be, because once the signing singer fails to succeed after spending a lot of resources, the person in charge will most likely lose his job.

Now that the development goals of Infinity Records have been determined, after Barry Weiss joined the company, Simon began to personally participate in finding suitable seeds of teen pop singers.

Actually, I want to find some singers I am familiar with in my memory.

Among the large list of candidate singers, Simon did find a combination he wanted: Backstreet Boys.

Backstreet Boys is a group recently formed by five young people in Orlando, Florida. After learning from the media that DMG was selecting teen singers, he submitted his test strap to Infinity Records, and was then picked by Simon at a glance.

However, there are still some problems with this matter.

Although the five people in the group all have good singing skills and talent, two of them are underage, and the youngest is only 13 years old.

Since Simon has taken a fancy to the name "Backstreet Boy", the remaining problems will of course be solved by Barry Weiss.

You should become famous as early as possible. There are no regulations in the music industry that minors are not allowed to enter the industry. However, since we need to create a group of teenage boys mainly for junior and senior high school students, it is naturally inappropriate for 13-year-old Xiao Tai, who has just reached the age of junior high school.

The solution is actually very simple. Excluding two minors in the group and looking for two young people as substitutes.

When several young people submitted their test sings, they didn't have much expectation at all. They were suddenly selected and were naturally overjoyed and agreed to the invitation of Infinite Records to replace them.

Therefore, the two parties quickly finalized a 10-year contract.

Barry Weiss also obtained the permanent copyright of the name of the "Back Street Boy" through the contract. In the future, whether a member withdraws or the group disbands, the name "Back Street Boy" will belong to Infinite Records. Infinite Records can re-select people to form this group based on this name. Members who leave the team will also be prohibited from using the name of "Back Street Boy".

In fact, for Simon, the Backstreet Boy is just a practice of Infinite Records, in order to summarize a set of operating procedures for quickly batch copying teen pop singers.

Creating a combination from scratch is never easy and costly.

In order to show his importance to Infinite Records, Simon not only gave Barry Weiss a year in the operation of the Backstreet Boys project, but also allowed the DMG resources to be called by the other party, but also planned to meet Barry Weiss at least once a week to understand the other party's work progress and give his own advice based on the information in his memory.

In addition, Infinity Records has also begun to look for other potential teen singer seeds.

Compared to the backstreet boy group that has been formed directly, Simon hopes that just like the Korean mass-training of pop singers, he will start signing contracts to cultivate pop singer seeds at the age of fourteen or five. Singers who have been professionally trained from vocal music to body will have a chance of becoming famous after launch, and their career life will be much longer than those of the grass-roots team after launch, and even their career life will be longer. This is undoubtedly true.

After making this decision, Simon's eyes naturally fell on Disney's famous Mickey Mouse Club.

The "famous" here is actually for Simon, a latecomer.

Mickey Mouse Club is a Disney Channel youth variety show, which mainly performs singing, dancing and short dramas.

For Disney, the ratings of this show are very average. In Simon's memory, this show may have been suspended due to its sluggish ratings in the past two years.

However, among the members of the Mickey Mouse Club, famous actors or singers such as Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Gosling were successively introduced in the following years, and they were all star-studded.

While operating the ‘Backstreet Boy’, Barry Weiss began to quietly pay attention to the group of teenagers in Mickey Mouse Club.

Britney Spears and others are only twelve or thirteen years old. DMG has no intention of raising them for five or six years in vain, so it is not suitable for signing a contract for the time being. Among them, those who are more age-appropriate, such as Kelly Russell, who is already 17 years old this year, has a very good appearance and figure, but compared with Britney, Christina and others, the gap in singing skills is very obvious. At the age of 17, there is also a lack of plasticity and can only give up.

Simon actually considered creating a group of teen singers through music elective programs. In doing so, it can not only provide Daenerys TV with a brand new hit reality show, but also provide record companies with some outstanding singer seeds.

Give up after deliberation.

At this stage, Daenerys TV's reality show is still several of Simon's original "Who Will Be a Millionaire", which has good vitality for the time being. The most important thing is that before acquiring a public TV network, Simon does not intend to launch phenomenal reality shows, and these will still be left to the TV network that will come from home.

In the busy life, time has come May 14 without realizing it.

It's a Friday.

The most important summer season "Superman" will be released on June 4. In order to avoid this bombshell, the summer season will be officially launched today.

On this day, North American theaters released a total of three movies: Fox's "Anti-Condor 2", Columbia Pictures' "My Genius Family" and New World Pictures' "Bruce Lee".

However, on this day, most North American media are most concerned about the fact that "Jurassic Park", which was released during Christmas last year, was officially fully drawn in North American theaters.

After five months of screening, "Jurassic Park" finally reached $356.71 million in North America.

At the same time, the screening of "Jurassic Park" in overseas markets has basically ended, with only Japan receiving a box office of US$120 million. In addition, the box office numbers of the United Kingdom, France and Germany have also reached US$40 to 50 million.

After statistics on the subsequent weekend, Jurassic Park's overseas box office also reached US$573.11 million, and it is expected that there will be about US$50 million in overseas subsequent revenue in the next round.

Therefore, as of mid-May, "Jurassic Park" was painted in North America, and the global box office of this dinosaur science fiction blockbuster reached US$929.82 million. In the next few months, it will be completely painted worldwide. The global box office of this phenomenon-level bombshell will be around US$980 million.

Even though it is still a bit regrettable and it is difficult to break through the $1 billion mark, the global box office of $980 million is enough to surpass the global record of "Batman: The Moment of War" and advance to the global box office championship in film history.

The global box office was $980 million. Excluding all production and promotion budgets and the share of Spielberg and other major creators, Daenerys Entertainment still earns $200 million.

Moreover, the box office is only part of the profits contributed by Jurassic Park.

The revenue of this project is large, and the cumulative sales of peripheral products in recent months have also reached US$1.3 billion, contributing profits are close to US$200 million. It is expected that the sales of peripheral products of this movie will reach US$2 billion before "Jurassic Park 2".

In addition, including future videotapes and TV broadcasts, and even the revenue from Universal Studios' "Jurassic Park" theme park, this movie will bring no less than $1 billion in net profit to Daenerys Entertainment.

As "Jurassic Park" was lowered in North America, while overseas countries were discussing the Hollywood invasion, North American media also noticed the slow progress of the development of this series of sequels.

Spielberg's "Schindler's List" has been completed and he has begun returning to Hollywood for post-production.

However, in recent interviews, Spielberg's answers to the sequel to "Jurassic Park" were all ambiguous. The responses given by senior Daenerys Entertainment in the interview were not clear, which made many people smell the different meaning.

According to Spielberg's contract with Universal, this veteran movie star still owes Daenerys Entertainment a film contract after "Schindler's List".

However, the two sides obviously had differences about the sequel to "Jurassic Park".

The greatest possibility is undoubtedly a dispute over interests.

Daenerys Entertainment expects to earn $1 billion through the project "Jurassic Park". Spielberg's salary, including the basic salary and share, is about $45 million.

For Hollywood filmmakers, the number of $45 million is definitely a sky-high price.

But Spielberg was obviously not satisfied with his salary.

If we follow the previous share strategy, such as the omni-channel 20% net profit sharing when we cooperated with Colombia, the salary he could get would be at least $200 million.

Daenerys Entertainment seemed to have given a very guaranteed plan to directly draw share from the box office. As the film was sold at the box office, this share plan that other Hollywood filmmakers could only be jealous of was even a bit like a trap in Spielberg's view.

This mental state is easy to understand.

However, since the contract was signed, it is naturally impossible to change it at this time.

However, if he wants to continue directing the sequel to "Jurassic Park", Daenerys Entertainment must give a price code that is sincere enough.

In history, Spielberg frantically took $250 million in the first "Jurassic Park", and the second part's salary was greatly reduced to $70 million. This time, the first part only received $45 million. Spielberg obviously hopes to get higher returns through the sequel to compensate for his potential losses in the first part.

Moreover, according to a certain mentality that Hollywood top filmmakers have long formed, in Spielberg's view, Daenerys Entertainment should not rashly replace him, and this series is directed by others...
Chapter completed!
