Chapter 1175 You are so heartless, mother

"It's definitely not going to happen this time. My mother warned me not to bother Simon anymore... Yes, I will fly to London tomorrow, and my mother will accompany me. I also borrowed a private jet and a penthouse by the Thames in London from Simon. Apartment, I can still go to Burberry's show, envy... So, Yi Ni, you have to work hard..."

"What's the matter...Is there any problem with the 957 million on the first day...Wow, it's so amazing...Unfortunately, I don't have time to watch it in North America. During the day, my mother will take me to talk about a cover, and there will be a CK show in the evening, and the next one Moon Metropolis is in Europe, so I can only watch it with my mother... Humph, that's right, I'm just showing off, I plan to be a professional model, and I can still make movies and make records in the future, even if I retire Now, I can also be a host or producer like my mother, who made me have two powerful dads..."

"What's the matter with being fickle? Let me tell you, there are only two types of men in this world, those who are able to be fickle, and those who are not... Is there any conflict with the fickle? It's just that the object of their fascination is a man... It's obviously you Let me talk about it first... Well, my mother called me to have breakfast, so hang up first, bye."

Inside a large flat in Greenwich Village.

Saturday morning.

Elizabeth Jagger hung up Ivanka's phone, took off the towel wrapped around her head, hurriedly changed her bathrobe, and ran to open the door.

Jerry Hall happened to be standing at the door, and was about to raise his hand to knock again. Seeing his daughter open the door, he knocked on her forehead casually: "Come and have breakfast with me, you can't be late for the meeting at 10 o'clock, and you have to help You take care of it and make a good impression on Helen. She has been working for 32 years. Although she is about to retire soon, she has a very deep network in the fashion industry. In the future, if you say a few good things about you at some parties, you will be able to make you in the future. Stand firm in the circle."

Elizabeth hugged her mother affectionately and walked out, a little bit dissatisfied: "We have Simon, even if I don't have a good impression, those people in the fashion circle will treat me like a princess."

Jerry Hall made another gesture and lightly tapped on his daughter's forehead: "Simon can't do everything for you. He just builds a ladder. How high you can climb in the future depends on you."

"It's exhausting to listen to."

"If those little girls with no background heard you complaining like that, they would probably be so jealous that they would strangle you to death."

Elizabeth grinned: "Mom, you're jealous too, aren't you?"

Jerry Hall was the kind of American farm girl who had no background at the time, step by step to the present.

Seeing what his daughter said, Jerry Hall gave the girl a white look: "Yes, I regret giving birth to you."

The mother and daughter came to the restaurant while talking. Elizabeth greeted her younger brother James, who was a year younger than herself, and started to move around. She sat next to her five-year-old younger sister, Gloria. What happened during the Ivanka call: "Mom, the box office is a big hit. Yi Ni just said, well, there were more than 900 million on the first day, which is equivalent to 30 times the cost of 30 US dollars."

Jerry Hall was eating his own fruit salad, and nodded when he heard the words: "I know, I read the newspaper."

Elizabeth felt a little emotional after thinking about it: "I can only earn 2000 US dollars for a show, and if I want to earn 900 million, I need, um... It may not be enough to walk for a lifetime. It seems that I still want to try to be a movie star, no, I need As a producer, invest in making movies yourself.”

Jerry Hall let his daughter run amok, noncommittal.

It's not that easy for a producer or something.

The first day's data she saw in the newspaper before breakfast was also inconceivable.

The cost of 30 US dollars, according to the results of the first day, it is conservatively estimated that only North America can reach 1.5 million box office, 500 times the box office cost return, higher than the one that has been buzzing during this period, Daenerys Entertainment is simply doing it pick up money.

However, after a little thought, one can understand that this achievement is definitely not as easy as ordinary people imagine.

In today's Hollywood, the seven major studios, even the other six other than Daenerys, would definitely not be able to make a movie popular in just two weeks at a relatively low publicity cost. Simple things, such as the lack of a network platform for the other six most obvious shortcomings.

What's more, even if the momentum before the release is hyped regardless of the cost, everything has to return to the movie itself.

If the quality of the film is not good enough, given the maturity of the North American film market, audiences will not be used to bad films at all.

In the final analysis, it was a man who miraculously selected and produced these films, just as the other party also selected them, and this is the biggest advantage of Daenerys Entertainment.However, then again, it is no good to have a good film but lack resources.

Now Daenerys Entertainment, has it all.

Elizabeth fantasized about it, and seeing her mother was silent, she said again, "Mom, when we get to London, let's go see that movie too, okay?"

Jerry Holborn was curious about it, and didn't consider whether it would be released in the UK. He nodded casually and said, "Okay."

"Also, Simon..."

This time, before his daughter finished speaking, Jerry Hall had already interrupted, put down his knife and fork and temporarily stopped eating, and looked at Elizabeth with a serious expression: "Remind you again, Liz, don't pester Simon too much, he will be disgusted. "

"No, Simon has such a good temper."

"A person with a good temperament, once you lose your patience, there is absolutely no room for you to recover," Jerry Hall said, pointing to the dining table: "At that time, Helen and the others will leave, without the waitress team, you You can only cook your own breakfast every day, and there will be no private jets to take you around. If you want to be a supermodel, you can only fight for the opportunity by yourself, and maybe sleep with some brand owners.”

Listening to her mother's description of some horrible scenes, Elizabeth's eyes widened slightly: "Mom, we should be quite rich now, right?"

"That's my pension."

"Even without Helen and the others, we can afford ordinary servants, right?"

"Yes, but my servant."

"Well, Mom, you are so heartless."

"There are even more heartless things. If you annoy Simon and make us lose everything, I can only use you as a cash cow and squeeze hard like Brooke Shields' mother."

"Mom, let me make sure, this is a joke, right?"

Jerry Hall looked serious: "No, this is a very serious warning."

Elizabeth was really frightened and raised her hand: "Okay, Mom, I was wrong."

When the mother and daughter casually skipped the discussion of 'serious' topics, the film and television circles in North America exploded again because of this ultra-low-budget movie with a production cost of only 30 US dollars.

According to the momentum of the film in the previous two weeks, everyone knew that this new type of small film that suddenly appeared would sell well, but no one expected that the box office would be so good.

You know, this is the unpopular end-September schedule second only to January and February every year!

Not to mention the box office of 957 million US dollars in a single day, even if a movie can earn 957 million US dollars a week in such a month, it can be regarded as a very good result.What's more, it was still an ultra-low-cost movie with a production cost of only 30 US dollars. Before the film was released, because the picture quality was too rough, it caused a controversy over whether this film should be classified as a movie.

Now, the first day is 957 million, which means that the film will reach a box office of 1.5 US dollars in the first week, and the complete North American box office, due to the lack of competitors in September and October, coupled with the phenomenon-level popularity of this small film, is conservatively estimated. can reach [-] million US dollars.

500 times box office return ratio.

Simply shocked.

With reference to the same period, the contrast will only become more intense.

On the previous Friday, there were four new films in the North American film market. Not to mention the other two fringe films with less than 500 screens, there were only two core films, produced by Daenerys Entertainment's New World Pictures, and Dream Produced by the factory and issued independently.

The former cost $30 to produce, while the latter had a budget of $5000 million.

Produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Hollywood actor George Clooney, based on a best-selling novel, it tells the story of a nuclear weapon theft that has become popular in recent years, if not cliché .

Compared with the excellent media score of 8.3 points before the release, it has already lost in word of mouth, and the comprehensive media score is only 4.3 points.

This is obviously the main reason why DreamWorks did not put the film on the popular summer file.

Whether the film is good or not can often be determined by some internal test screenings before it is released, especially commercial films, so the release strategy will also be formulated based on internal word of mouth.

However, after all, 5000 million U.S. dollars was invested, reaching the blockbuster level, and the number of opening screens reached 2363, which was significantly higher than the previous 2045.

The two films were released at the same time, and in the end, the box office comparison on the first day was quite strong.

It only took 957 million U.S. dollars in one day. Not surprisingly, the painting can reach the sales level of more than 305 in two days after its opening.Look again, on the first day of the painting, the box office revenue was only [-] million US dollars.Less than a third of it.

00 million.

A cost gap of more than 160 times.

The box office turned out to be [-].

Such a strong contrast even gives people a sense of unreality.

Based on the level of the first day, it is expected that the box office in the first week will not exceed 1500 million US dollars at most, and the domestic box office will only be around 4000 million US dollars.

The total local box office of 4000 million may be paid in less than a week.

However, speaking carefully, the domestic 4000 million US dollars may be within DreamWorks' expectations, otherwise it would not be placed in the unpopular end-September schedule.

The problem is obvious.

It is still too powerful, so strong that everyone is at a loss for a while.

You know, inside and outside Hollywood, not to mention further, not to mention those super blockbusters that are gradually maturing, but since this year, Kung Fu movies have been selling very well. After a lot of research, everyone thinks they have found the way, and they are trying to copy Jeter Lee. Yes, it turned out that such a freak jumped out again.

Then, Cannes upset a 200 million pound feature film, which broke the UK box office record of 15+ genres in a blink of an eye.

Everyone started chasing and researching British and even American realistic films.

This time, there was no clue yet, and it turned out again.

It's simply dizzying.

Caught off guard.

Moreover, compared with, and even, the scrutiny it attracts can be said to increase geometrically.

Because this movie is too easy to follow suit compared to others.

As long as you have watched this movie, it is not difficult to find that the cost of 30 US dollars is obviously due to the investment of a big studio like Daenerys. The cost is inevitably too high. In fact, one iRec, two Three actors, without the burden of a big factory like Daenerys, it is not impossible to get a few thousand dollars.

This also means that everyone from the major Hollywood studios to the lowest-level film newcomers chasing dreams in Hollywood have the opportunity to try.

Because only one iRec is needed.

The threshold is unimaginably low.

Moreover, even if it is far worse in the future, even if it is only one-tenth or even one-hundredth of the result, it is enough for too many people to try again and again.

If you succeed in following the trend and make a big hit, it will definitely be a huge profit, a sudden fortune, and fame in one fell swoop.

Reach the pinnacle of life in minutes.

Therefore, on Saturday, with countless media reports on the box office, countless people from all over the United States, states and regions entered the theater with an attitude of learning from the trend, and there were also more media, In order to keep up with the hot spots, they sent their most capable reporters to enter the theater to watch the movie again.

Just to explore the success code of this dark horse at the box office whose production cost was only US$30 on the first day and the box office revenue exceeded 30 times the cost.

The topicality of the film has increased again compared to before its release, and it also attracted more viewers to buy tickets to enter the venue, so that there was a rare scene of queuing up to buy tickets in some areas during the day on Saturday.

The New World Pictures team was not in a hurry to announce overseas, including the British market, which is basically open to Hollywood movies and can be synchronized as long as they want to do it. Therefore, the mother and daughter of Hall privately discussed watching the movie in the UK. Can't see it.

Now, when the first day of the film's North American box office is released, distributors and theater operators around the world have contacted Daenerys Entertainment.

Everyone is really anxious.

For such a film with such influence, it must be best to strike while the iron is hot.

On the other hand, at present, most overseas countries and regions are also in a state of unpopular schedule. After the summer vacation, the market will inevitably be weak, and the attendance rate of theaters can be imagined. Of course, at this time, we are looking forward to a phenomenal blockbuster movie to stimulate the audience.

Daenerys Entertainment did not make a decision and began to quickly promote overseas distribution in accordance with the previous sharing practice.

Mainly because of the limited schedule.

If it is delayed until the end of the year, the overseas box office of the movie will definitely be much higher, but it will inevitably squeeze out the resources of the film at the end of the year, and the gain outweighs the gain.

After making a decision, Daenerys Entertainment's powerful global distribution network and efficient execution were quickly revealed.

Some countries, such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, quickly finalized this Saturday, and it is expected to log in two weeks later, while some countries such as Germany, Spain, etc., are expected to be released within a month.Even a few conservative overseas markets with hidden protection barriers such as France and Japan will basically not delay until the end of the year.

Chapter 1176 Do things

Chapter 1176 Doing things "Mr. Morris asked, there will be a large number of pseudo-documentary films in Hollywood, should we suspend the development of "The Blair Witch" and avoid this trend?"

"Continuing, pseudo-documentary films are destined to be niche, and we need to seize enough shares in the limited market capacity as soon as possible."

"In this case, will the sequel of "Ghost Story" also be accelerated?"

"The foundation of this series has been laid, so it is suitable to take it slowly. It is best to release the sequel two to three years later." Simon said here, as if he was disturbed by something, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Also, "Ghost Story" "The main creators of ", especially Lin, Amy and Jessica, asked Danny to talk to them, try not to touch pseudo-documentaries in the next work, to avoid being stereotyped, I have high expectations for them."

"Ok."

In the study on the second floor of the villa in Linhai Manor, Sandian City.

It's already Saturday afternoon on the east coast, and the news keeps coming in all day long, making Simon relax and take time to pay attention to the suddenly super popular "Ghost Story". Girl A stood opposite Simon and lowered her head to record in the memo The boss explained, and occasionally heard some small voices coming from under the large desk, raised his head slightly, and gave his boss a white look.

Simon smiled and said: "It doesn't feel that good, but since it started, the process still has to be completed."

Girl A rolled her eyes again.

Simon simply drove people away: "Let's do it for the time being. Also, send Lyudmila to Manhattan. It's time for her to prepare for the CK show tonight. Tell her, if she doesn't work hard, I will drive her back to Ukraine, and then They are also not allowed to go abroad."

Girl A agreed, turned and left the study.

When the female assistant closed the door, Simon bowed his head, stretched out his hands to hold a handful of long hair, and at the same time pulled up two tame and beautiful faces, frowned slightly and said to sisters Melania and Inas: "Turn your hands behind your back. "

On the other side, girl A went out, called two maids, and went to a bedroom on the other side of the corridor on the second floor of the villa.

Push the door and enter, and come to the big bed.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and Lyudmila Besonoskova was still soundly asleep on the big bed.

Girl A patted the girl who was lying on her back in an indecent sleeping position: "Hey, wake up."

The girl on the bed felt that someone was touching her, she moved slightly, and then seemed to be winded up suddenly, waving her arms wildly: "Don't touch me, don't touch me."

After such a toss, he woke up immediately.

Seeing girl A standing by the bed, and two waitresses holding back their smiles behind her, Lyudmila pulled the quilt over her head and said, "Don't bother me, I still have to sleep, um, I'm so hungry , I want to eat, send some food in, I want to eat in bed."
