Catherine Satter, 22 years old, 171 centimeters tall, graduated from Cornell University, and is a maid of Weijia.

Shen Lin, 30 years old, 167 cm tall, English name Linda, from China, Ph.D. in Political Economics from the University of Oklahoma, maid of the Wei family.

This is the configuration that the housekeeper suggested for the next three girls to choose together.

Mainly Shen Neighbor.

The three girls have only been in the United States for a few months, and their English skills are limited to simple daily communication. Therefore, it is best to have a daily translator who can use Chinese and English proficiently, just like Zhao Anni who was next to Zhu Momo and the others.

Then again, there were many choices in the list given by the housekeeper, and the three girls made her choose Shen Neighbor, the oldest one, quite unexpectedly.

You know, 30 years old is already the upper age limit for the recruitment of Weijia maids and guards. This older Chinese girl who stepped on the last threshold to join the Weijia maid, if there is no suitable position in the next year or two, she will soon She lost her status as a maid in the Wei family and got an ordinary job under the arrangement of the Westeros system.

However, the housekeeper quickly figured it out after reading everything in the world.

It was precisely because Shen Lin was the oldest that he was chosen by the three girls, mainly because Lin Buzui, who looked very smart, suggested it.

As for the reason, the maids and guards of the Wei family are basically very beautiful no matter what nationality or skin color they are.

For women, beauty certainly means threat.And that Miss Qin probably felt that Shen Neighbor, who was older than the other candidate maids of the same age, was the least threatening to the three young girls, and probably persuaded the other two girls with this reason.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of thinking is of course correct, but unfortunately, the preference of my boss seems to be abnormal.

Of course the housekeeper didn't say much, she just found it a little funny.

And curious and looking forward to it.

You know, according to the housekeeper's long-term observation, the boss not only likes mature women, but also prefers smart women.Now, three young girls who don't seem to be very smart have chosen a 30-year-old beautiful female doctor to be by their side.

According to a Chinese idiom, in the future, I don't know if the choices of these three girls will be, that, self-defeating?

Chapter 1182 September Single Week Record

In a residential apartment in the Santa Monica mountains north of Daenerys Studios.

In a blink of an eye, it was already June 10.

Enter the first Friday in October.

After a week of promotion after the release, Amy Adams and Jessica Chastain just flew back from southern Florida yesterday and finally got a good night's rest.

However, because of the continued excitement, the two women woke up at six o'clock in the morning.

Today is the day when the full first-week box office of "Ghost Story" is released.

When Amy Adams left the bedroom and came to the living room without even brushing her teeth, she found Jessica Chastain sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, holding the just-acquired "Los Angeles Times" in her hand, and several copies beside her. other newspapers.

Rushing forward in three or two steps, Amy did not fight for the newspaper in Jessica's hand, but picked up a copy of "The Hollywood Reporter", and while sitting on the single sofa next to her, she couldn't wait to ask: "How much, how much?"

Jessica didn't look up: "Look for yourself."

Amy said that she had seen the headline on the front page of "Hollywood Reporter", and the striking 59M string of characters came into view.

"Wow, 5900 million, higher than the 5500 million they expected on Monday."

Jessica smiled beside her, corrected and agreed: "To be precise, it is 5963 million, which is already close to 6000 million."

"$6000 million, it's unbelievable, and the cost is only $30."

Jessica said from the side: "Didn't you read the article on "Variety" a few days ago? In fact, it's not 30, at most tens of thousands of dollars. It's not like you don't know how much we got paid."

Of course Amy knew.

Because this was an ultra-low-cost small film, what she signed was not a fixed salary, but the lowest-level weekly salary contract, which was only 1000 US dollars per week. After the film was finished, she only got 8000 US dollars.

Jessica was paid less in a supporting role.

So, just before the premiere in Toronto last month, both women were working as waitresses in Santa Monica to earn a living.

Thinking of this, Amy felt a little sour again.

The contract has been checked quietly a few days ago, and the two of them don't have any sharing clauses.

I also asked in private, and Lin Yibin did the same.

Because it was an ultra-low-cost experimental project, it was not covered by the labor union's mandatory sharing clause. What's more, they hadn't joined the labor union at the time, and the brokerage company was handling this matter recently.

Now, Daenerys Entertainment can net hundreds of millions of dollars just by relying on the North American box office, so giving yourself 100 million is not too much, right?

Unfortunately, not a single word.

Jessica noticed Amy's expression, and she probably understood something, and said, "Actually, everyone is like this. Schwarzenegger's first film salary was only 12000 US dollars. At that time, he was already a well-known bodybuilder in the United States." , much more famous than us.”

"I just thought, Daenerys earned so much this time, should she give us some rewards?"

"Well, Lin may have it, but we don't necessarily have it," Jessica said: "What's more, Amy, if you want to open some, our biggest gain is to be able to participate in this movie, otherwise, say Maybe we won’t be famous all our lives.”

Amy nodded, and couldn't help but said: "Actually, Lin may not be able to get an extra bonus. Although the media is reporting that he is the main creator, everyone knows that it is not."

"But he has done a good job with this idea, so Daenerys Entertainment will definitely try its best to win over him."

Amy paused and had to admit it.

After calming down a little, he looked at the newspaper in his hand again.

Jessica did not continue with a topic that made people think more and more disturbingly, and instead said: "Look at this week's box office list. I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I find that Daenerys Entertainment is really amazing. .”

Amy didn't know, so: "What?"

Jessica said: "The top five on the list, apart from the No.1 "Ghost Story", Daenerys Entertainment also has two places."

Amy quickly browsed the article on the "Hollywood Reporter" about the box office summary of the week, and she quickly understood, and couldn't help but be speechless.

A box office week from September 9 to October 26.

No.1, "Ghost Story" has no suspense, 5963 million US dollars, this box office result directly broke the September single-week box office record in Hollywood history.

Immediately afterwards, DreamWorks Pictures' "Doomsday Alert" ranked No. 2, with a box office of 1367 million US dollars in the first week.

Although it is the runner-up, considering the blockbuster production cost of "Doomsday Alert" of 5000 million US dollars, the first week's income was 1367 million US dollars, and it is a commercial film with a poor reputation. It is impossible to go out of the long-term. Obviously, due to the strong impact of "Ghost Story", the estimated domestic box office of "Doomsday Alert" has dropped a lot from the 2500 million box office that DreamWorks originally expected.

No.3 is back in the hands of Daenerys Entertainment again.

8月份在英国创造了15+分级票房纪录的《光猪六壮士》，9月12日北美开画，首周2296万美元之后，次周继续进账1630万美元。

In the third week of its release just past, this small film with a production budget of only 200 million pounds, faced the impact of "Ghost Story", the box office fell by 36%.However, the single-week box office still earned 1043 million US dollars, ranking No.3.

In the three weeks since the start of the painting, the North American box office of "Six Heroes of Light Pig" has accumulated to 4969 million US dollars, and the total North American box office is expected to be around 7000 million US dollars.Although it is not as good as the UK's 9500 million pounds, which is equivalent to 6200 million U.S. dollars, it is also a solid box office dark horse considering the cost.

No.4, also from Daenerys Entertainment.

This is a remake of Ang Lee's "Eating and Drinking Men and Women" with an all-black cast called "Food for the Soul". It tells about black culture through a weekend dinner in a black family. The director George Tillman Jr. is black, and the heroine One is the famous 'Steel Bones' girlfriend Halle Berry.

Produced by Gaomen Films, the film was released a week before "Ghost Story", with a scale of 1336 screens, and the comprehensive media score reached an excellent 8.1 points.With Ang Lee, who became more famous after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he personally helped the platform promote the film, and the box office of the film reached the top-selling level of over 1432 in the first week, earning [-] million US dollars.

The film was produced on a budget of just $750 million, with Highgate's original expectation of $2000 million.It earned 1432 million in the first week, which not only directly recovered the production investment, but also more than doubled the original expectation of Gaomen Films. Relying on the long-term reputation of word of mouth, it is expected to hit the 5000 million threshold.

Unfortunately, "Food for the Soul" encountered "Ghost Story" the next week.

面对《鬼影实录》的强势，高门影业团队本来预测次周可能20%左右的微小跌幅，最终扩大到37%，9月26日到10月2日的次周进账最终为902万美元。

In two weeks, "Food for the Soul" has accumulated a box office of 2334 million US dollars.

Of course, it is still a very good result. However, in the face of the continuous pressure of "Ghost Story", the North American box office of "Food for Soul" is likely to stop within 4000 million.
