Ren Jingxi's cheeks were hot again, and she couldn't help but slander: More than an hour is not enough, do you think you are a god?

Seeing the girl wringing her fingers from the corner of her eye, Simon said half-truthfully, "I'm a person who values ​​the quality of certain things, so more than an hour is really not enough."

Still not reconciled, she asked in a low voice: "In that case, are you really free tonight? I mean, I can wait, it doesn't matter if it's later?"

"Not really."

Suddenly realizing something, he tentatively asked, "Are you going to accompany other women?"

"Yes."

"I understand." Saying this, she stood for a while, but the man still didn't speak again, and she felt more and more that she was wrong. Obviously, she asked a question that shouldn't be asked, and said softly, "I'll help you." Shall I have something to eat, or something to drink?"

"Make a fruit plate and send it over."

"Ok."

Hearing his response, he relaxed, and quickly agreed, not daring to linger any more, and obediently turned around and went out.

Chapter 1117 Unstoppable

Some investors who are in the middle of the game and see the depreciation of new technology stocks under their names day by day feel anxious or even go to extremes. Simon is indeed the most peaceful and indifferent one in this storm.

While continuing to go back and forth between a group of pregnant women to perform the duties of a prospective father, the Westeros system has begun to form a financial audit team headed by Veronica Johnston these days, and plans to start auditing Westeros in April Enterprises such as Eaglet, Cisco, and AOL in the system conduct a comprehensive investigation and sorting out.

Simon is confident that the companies in the Westeros system that he has been watching closely will not have the serious financial loopholes like Enron and WorldCom, but he is also very clear that there must be many small-scale problems and loopholes.

Doing so is actually equivalent to repairing the house before winter.

Take precautions.

Then, officially entering the cold winter of the Internet, Simon will start large-scale layoffs, and thoroughly clean up the impetuous emotions within the company that are inevitably brought about by the turbulent new technology bubble for several consecutive years? Can super companies develop further? Hit a higher peak.

At the same time? Entering the Easter weekend? A series of new products of Tinkerbell are officially launched in major markets around the world.

In the pre-sales of the previous week, a series of flagship products such as iPlayer, iCam, iRec, iMac and other online and offline platforms in North America and abroad have accumulated a total of 1200 million pre-sales, which has become a very bright positive in the context of the Nasdaq crash.

Throughout the weekend, a large number of media have tacitly publicized Tinkber’s hot pre-sale data? And it is predicted that Tinkbel’s four main electronic products in 1997 will exceed 1.5 million units in cumulative sales. Catching up with the total global PC shipments? Another miracle.

In fact, even if there is no such momentum, the stock price decline of Tinkobel in the past week is also the lowest among all new technology companies. The cumulative decline in five days is only 8.3%.

On the other hand, for most ordinary people, the distance between the stock market crash and them is a bit far.

This time is closely related to life or Easter.

Similarly, on the Hollywood side, everyone is most concerned about the Easter schedule.

Before and after the 3th Academy Awards ceremony on March 24, films such as the award-winning "The English Patient" and "Good Will Hunting", which had a re-exposure, rebounded at the box office.However, these films, which are basically in the final stage, have been out of the competition for the Easter schedule.

Among them, the domestic box office of "The English Patient" has exceeded 7000 million U.S. dollars? With the Oscar's best picture laurel just won? It is expected to earn about 1000 million U.S. dollars in the follow-up?

At the same time, after the Oscars, "The English Patient" officially started overseas distribution under the responsibility of the main agent of Daenerys Entertainment.

This is actually the big head.

Relying on the Oscar's best picture halo, the overseas box office of "The English Patient" exceeded 1.5 million US dollars, almost twice that of the local one? This time it won't be too bad.

The other "Good Will Hunting" recently had a domestic box office close to 1.6 million US dollars. Only the Oscar for the best original screenplay will make this film withdraw from theaters soon. The total domestic box office is expected to be around 1.65 million US dollars.

As for films such as "Wonder Woman 2", "Jumanji", and "Charlie's Angels" that were scheduled at the end of last year, with the approach of Easter, in order to free up screen resources for new films, they have been released during this period.

In the Easter schedule that started on March 3, a total of three new films were released in North American theaters, namely the Jim Carrey comedy "Cable Repairman" produced by Daenerys Entertainment, "Alien 21" released by MGM and Fox The spin-off movie "King Kong Warrior" of the TV series of the same name.

Among them, the most watched "Cable TV Repairman" and "Alien 2" obviously did not start very well.

After all, it took a $3500 million budget and a $1500 million announcement, and even if there were private disagreements, there was still work to be done.Daenerys Entertainment's publicity team created a gimmick for "The Cable Repairman" as a transformation of Jim Carrey. However, the film's rating in the media was only a passable 6.2 points, which obviously included public relations. Element.

The long-awaited "Alien 2" suffered a similar situation.

The plot of the story goes from the hunting of alien species in the first part to the confrontation between two generations of different species in the second part. Although the budget has risen to 4000 million US dollars, the production team is more attentive, and Simon is personally advising, but compared with the first part, the comprehensive score of 4.3 points , The comprehensive media score of this sequel has only risen slightly to 5.5 points, which is still failing.

The "Hollywood Reporter" comment very directly pointed out the key point that this sequel was not recognized by the critics: assembly line popcorn without any connotation, and too much meat.

The reality is, the audience can't stop watching it!

Two beauties are tearing each other up naked on the big screen, who can bear it?

Therefore, in the first week of the Easter schedule from March 3st to March 21th, in the gossip such as the fact that MGM was able to downgrade from NC 3 to R due to the exposure of the scenes and multiple revisions, "Alien 27" "With an opening screen scale of 17 yuan, it won a box office of 2 million US dollars in one fell swoop in the first week and seven days, easily reaching the top.

As the first film of Simon's multi-party cooperation package project plan, the achievement of "Alien 2" can be regarded as a good start.

The production budget of the film is 4000 million US dollars, and the publicity expenditure is 1500 million US dollars. The total expenditure is 5500 million US dollars. It starts with 3314 million US dollars in North America.

And the bulk of this project is actually the videotape.

Not to mention that the video tape market of the "Alien" series in Simon's memory is booming, this time the first part of "Alien" three years ago has also proved this point.

The domestic box office of the first "Alien" was over 6000 million, and the global total was 1.1 million US dollars, which has already achieved profitability.However, the follow-up videotape sales, so far, have sold 460 million boxes, which is close to 1.4 million US dollars in sales, which is higher than the global box office.

In addition, the film's TV broadcast income is equally profitable.

What Simon was more worried about at the beginning was that the sequel of the project would be coldly received in theaters like "Alien 2", so it was delayed.Now, the reimagined "Alien 2" earned $3314 million in the first week, which means that "Alien 3" can be directly approved.

Because of the combination of the two parts, it is already a mini heterogeneous movie universe.

In recent years, Hollywood's concept of the movie universe may have been a bit rampant, but for "Alien", it is an apt description.

Let's talk about the box office list.

Following "Alien 2", "Cable TV Repairman" ranked No.2707 on the weekly list with a box office of 2 million US dollars.

Although the word-of-mouth is also mediocre, the box office appeal accumulated by Jim Carrey's previous three consecutive blockbuster movies is still there. Even if many fans expressed dislike of Jim Carrey's transformation after watching the movie, the box office is still impressive. Only the local box office, It also depends on the follow-up trend.

No.3 on the list is "BJ's Single Diary".

This love movie, which aroused strong repercussions in Britain and the United States at the same time, was hit by two new films in the sixth week of its release, with a drop of 6%. It has reached 32 million US dollars, temporarily ranking the crown in 837.

No.4 is "Star Wars 3: Return of the Jedi", which was re-screened last week. After the film earned US$1629 million in the first week, it was also hit by two new films in the second week. The box office fell by 54%, and it received another 751 million. Dollar.

Unlike the blockbuster box office hit of the re-screening of the first part of Star Wars two months ago, Star Wars 3 has accumulated a total of 2380 million US dollars in two weeks, and the total domestic box office is expected to be only a little over 3000 million.

No.5 is not Fox's new movie "King Kong Warrior", but an urban comedy "Savage City" by Disney, starring Hollywood comedy star Tim Allen. The idea is similar to the hit "Crocodile Dundee" in the 80s , tells the story of 'primitives' breaking into modern cities.

The film started drawing on March 3, and in its third week of release, it earned $7 million, with a cumulative box office of $601 million. Although the production budget reached $2817 million, it is expected to gross $3000 million locally, which is not bad in such an unpopular period. .
