Dumei Point Manor.

In front of the glass curtain wall of Shell Villa, looking at the lively two little guys in the middle of the lively hall tonight, each child has the chance to get a gift. Simon and Amy Pascal, who were sitting on the sofa against the wall, were discussing the company's affairs.

"The Japanese stock market has been falling for the past week. So, you may not have the chance to attend the opening ceremony of Universal Studios Osaka during Easter next year?"

Simon held a glass of red wine, leaned his legs leisurely on a single sofa, and smiled and said, "Yes, I definitely can't go again. This decline cycle of the Japanese stock market may last for a long time. Even if the time improves, I will run over again, and the Japanese will be really anxious."

"Haha," Amy smiled: "There is another thing, you know, about the name, is it necessary for us to continue to use the name "Universal Studios", or is it now a good opportunity to change the name "Danelles Cinema"?"

"I have considered it many times, but I still feel it is unnecessary. Daenerys Entertainment Group will become larger and larger in the future. We don't need to let all subsidiaries name the prefix of "Danerys". This will cause some kind of homogeneity. Since we want to build a global theme park system, the sub-brand of "Universal Studios" is actually good, isn't it?"

Amy thought about it, nodded, and said, "By the way, Peck told me on Friday that Turkey had recently contacted him and said that if we put the Universal Studios European project in Istanbul, we would be willing to give a great deal there."

Amy said that Peck is Bruce Peck, president of theme park business.

In July, in order to some extent, Disney accepted the acquisition offer from France's Vivendi Group, Daenerys Entertainment publicly announced plans to build Universal Studios Europe.

Disneyland Paris, which was in a loss after opening, has become a major burden for Disney. If Daenerys Entertainment, which is in full swing, builds Universal Studios in Europe, it will inevitably divert the customers of Disneyland Paris, making this theme park, which is already in trouble, worsens the injury and affects the entire Disney company.

The announcement of this news directly led to a heart attack caused by a stimulus from Disney Chairman and CEO Michael Eisner.

Without Eisner, a dead-straight player who firmly opposes the sale of Disney, Vivendi Group's acquisition negotiations for Disney are progressing smoothly and are currently waiting for the final approval of the Federal Department of Justice.

Many people are worried that Universal Studios Europe will follow in the footsteps of Disney Paris, but Simon has no intention of firing a shot.

In recent months, the site selection work of Universal Studios Europe has been underway.

Simon just didn't expect that Türkiye would come to join in the fun.

This is not surprising.

Although Disneyland Paris has become a burden for Disney companies, this theme park has finally brought France a group of tens of millions of tourists every year. A huge business circle has been formed near Disneyland Paris, and employment and real estate have been greatly boosted.

Overall, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.

Therefore, when Daenerys Entertainment proposed to build Universal Studios in Europe, many countries took action in hopes of winning this project.

In order to avoid repeating the mistakes that Disneyland Paris lacks in consideration of climate factors, Universal Europe will only choose Mediterranean coastal countries that are spring-like.

After excluding France, the only targets are Italy, Spain and Greece. To be precise, Rome, Barcelona and Athens are near the three cities. Rome and Barcelona are the most preferred targets, and Athens can only be considered as substitutes. Now it depends on who can give more preferential conditions and the comprehensive evaluation results of the Daenerys Entertainment Theme Park team.

In order to avoid the three companies waiting for a price, this consideration will certainly not be made public.

According to media arguments, any country in Europe has the opportunity to obtain this project, even the three countries of the United Kingdom and the Nordic countries at high latitudes, etc.

Thinking of this, Simon said: "It is definitely impossible for Turkey. Although our theme park is PG level, the cultural differences are too great after all. However, it is okay to let Bruce have more contact with the other party and take the time to go over and inspect it. Remember to let the media release the wind."

Amy knew the profound meaning of Simon's arrangement, smiled and nodded, and then talked about the first week of "The Mortuary Haunted Incident" and the subsequent development of the "Soul-Conjuring Movie Universe".

In the first week of the Halloween period from October 28 to November 3, "The Mortuary Haunted Incident" won the championship without any suspense. The box office of the paintings in seven days was 45.71 million US dollars, and the museums reached 19,000 US dollars. Both key data exceeded the summer "Soul Conjuring".

Four major new films of the same period, "Frankenstein", ranked second on the weekly box office list, had a box office of only $14.2 million in the first week, less than one-third of "The Mortuary Haunted Incident".

The other two new films are a bit terrible.

Warner Bros.'s $30 million "The Silent Trap" had a box office of only $2.04 million in the first week, barely ranked fifth in the weekly box office list. Disney's $20 million production "Ultimate Warriors" earned only $1.51 million in the seven-day box office, and it fell directly to the ninth place of the list.

According to comprehensive statistics, the total box office in North America in the first week of Halloween was US$73.16 million, and the "Mortal Haunted Incident" accounted for 62% of the share.

Daenerys Entertainment is still the only one.

Although judging from the weekend box office trend of the second week of release in recent days, the second week of "Mortal Haunted Incident" may have fallen by about 50%, exceeding the same period of "Soul Conjuring" by 43%, there is no regret for this film with such an excellent start. The brand of "Soul Conjuring Cinema Universe" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts after the tempering of these two movies.

As for the follow-up, horror films are different from bombshells. They have a low budget and a short cycle. If Simon is willing, it will be fine to launch two or three series of works a year. However, Simon certainly understands the principle of not being able to fish through the flood. Too eager development progress will only make the audience lose interest in this series quickly.

Simon's plan is to release at most related works every year in the future, which is more cautious than the DC Cinema Universe series, and occasionally a complete stop for one year, which is considered to be "fallow". Moreover, the sequels of a single film must be at least one year apart. All of this is to maximize the vitality of the "Soul Conjuring Movie Universe".

The new week arrives after the birthday party of two little guys.

November 7th.

on Monday.

The day before the 1994 midterm election voting day.

After three days, Lin Su and Chen Qing were basically familiar with the new environment around them, and the jet lag also reversed. I thought I would stay in Los Angeles for a long time, but I didn’t expect to receive a notice on Sunday afternoon that they would fly to New York with Simon Westeros on Monday.

I had packed my luggage in advance and arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on time at 9 o'clock.

The memorable Boeing 767 had already stopped on the runway. Seeing the A-skin waiting at the door of the cabin, Chen Qing knew that Simon Westeros had arrived in advance, which made the group of six women a little embarrassed. Fortunately, no one cared about this.

Chen Qing also felt keenly that the four staff members Westeros matched her and Lin Su were even more excited than the two of them today.

Maybe it was because of being able to meet Simon Westeros.

These days, I have gotten along very well with the four girls, and I even have some plans to use them as the first team to develop in the United States. However, some things still made Chen Qing instinctively a little afraid, and I hope that Girl A will arrange the four girls in the back cabin to accompany the staff.

Because these four people are probably service personnel specially trained by the Westeros family, they are not bad in terms of figure or appearance.

Alison did not do this, but took the six people to the living room in the middle cabin of the plane. In order to avoid backfire, Chen Qing did not take the initiative to propose it.

Everyone arrived and the plane took off.

When the Boeing 767 enters the clouds, everyone untie their safety belts and starts to move freely.

I didn't dare to walk around.

Just as the flight attendant was about to come, a young man with a tall figure walked into the living room directly, followed by a girl A.

The six girls quickly got up.

He signaled everyone to sit down, and Simon sat down beside him, just nodding to Lin Su and Chen Qing, then smiled and looked at the two bodyguard ladies: "Kate, Pamela, how are you doing recently?"

Katherine Elgar and Pamila Winther were the first female bodyguards to be trained at the MCSS base in Oklahoma.

Simon not only saw the detailed information of these girls, but also saw it several times in person.

Neither of the women expected Simon to remember his name, and said hello to them first, and was a little flattered. Catherine Elgar said: "It's great, Mr. Westeros, I just regret not being able to work with you."

The group of female bodyguards trained by Simon were originally intended to serve the women around him, but at this time they just said: "This is no difference. Although it is for Chen Helin, you are still employees of the Westeros family."

This is true.

Lin Su and Chen Qingke cannot afford the salary of the four girls, and their salaries are all handled by the Westeros family.

He didn't forget to say hello to two other two first meeting Lily Farville and Christina Russum, and found that the clothes on the six girls were a little thin. Simon asked: "It may be a bit cold in New York. Are you ready for your clothes?"

All six girls nodded.

Los Angeles is like spring all year round, and women who love beauty are naturally "cold-resistant". They don't have much to wear thin clothes on the West Coast.

However, the east coast is now winter, and the daily temperature is about 10 degrees. I will definitely not be able to stand the dressing on the west coast. Lin Su and Chen Qing, who live in southern China, did not remember this yesterday. Lily Farville, who grew up on the east coast, mentioned it. After receiving the notice yesterday afternoon, the six girls went out to purchase new clothes together.

Seeing the girls nodding, Simon changed the topic and continued to talk to them about some trivial matters. He quickly got up and said to Chen Qing: "Chen, come with me."

Chen Qing confirmed that Westeros had only called him, concealed the joy in her heart, stood up and followed the man out of the middle cabin living room.

Looking at Chen Qing's figure leaving, Lin Su, who had just stood up, looked indifferent on her face, but she felt a little disappointed in her heart.

There was even a bit of a grudge that she would never admit.

Someone, is this intentional?

Afterwards, Chen Qing did not come back for the four-hour trip. It was not until the plane approached New York that A appeared and took some of Chen Qing's clothes. Seeing this situation, the other girls could roughly guess what happened, even if they were stupid. When getting off the plane, they saw a certain blush on Chen Qing's face, and it was obviously unnatural when walking, and things became even more obvious.

The boss is a playboy, and Catherine and the girls knew this clearly, but they didn't have any special feelings.

Lin Su was in a bit complicated.

Abominable man.

Too ridiculous.

Seeing Chen Qing holding the man's arm intimately as she got off the plane, she became even more angry inexplicably.

Arriving in New York, it was already past four o'clock on the east coast.

After rushing to Manhattan, the group separated. Lin Su and Chen Qing and six girls were destinations at a townhouse on 95th Street, Upper West Side. The reason they arranged here was because they were very close to Columbia University. In the next two years, Chen Qing would have to take an MBA degree at Columbia University in addition to work.

Girl A personally sent the six girls over and placed them. Before leaving, she reminded her that there was a cocktail party in the evening, and Lin Su and Chen Qing must attend.

Saying Alison Norris away, it was already dark in Manhattan.

The lights in the four-story townhouse, which is only one block away from West 95th Street and Central Park, were all on. Chen Qing walked up and down the villa again in response to his discomfort. Finally, he came to the living room downstairs. He sat on the sofa with satisfaction, looked at Lin Su, who looked cold next to him, and suddenly said in Chinese: "I didn't expect that my first time was on the plane."

Lin Su's expression had almost not changed much. He looked very disdainful and looked at a copy of "The Economist". This was a reading book that the two women purchased together in Los Angeles in recent days.

Seeing that Lin Su ignored him, Chen Qing suddenly asked, "Lin Su, do you have the first time?"

Lin Su deflected slightly and pretended not to hear it.

"It seems that there is no more."

"You didn't!"

"Oh, it seems there is one," Chen Qing smiled and said in a narrow voice: "I will tell Simon that he should be very happy."

Lin Su threw "The Economist" on the coffee table and was about to flee.

Chen Qing called her and said, "Simon said that you will be my assistant in the future, and now it is legitimate."

Lin Su widened her eyes.

I just reluctantly agreed to cooperate with her.
