Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 1365: Nothing

"Now there are only tens of thousands of yuan left every day. Next week, the box office is basically 395 million yuan, which is less than 400 million yuan. It's a pity. I watched it several times, and I cried every time. I think 500 million box office is possible, but piracy is too rampant, and there is a TV station that has a special report on piracy, Simon, why didn't you intervene?"

"There's not much to share here. I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute, and it's still US dollars. It's a waste of time to manage it."

"Hehe, yes, 395 million RMB, only... only... three eighty-two four, four... thirty-two... the current exchange rate is 8.6, anyway, it is about 30 million U.S. dollars, and the accounting sheet is 13%, you can get 4 million US dollars, so little, Simon, I think you may not earn as much as selling pirated CDs. As I just said, on TV, Beijing specifically cracked down on piracy. A truckload of CDs, mostly Titanic."

Palisades.

A corner of the indoor bar on the first floor of the mountainside mansion.

Simon was sitting on the sofa, with Zhu Momo, who was still breaking his fingers, next to him. The topic was "Titanic", which was about to be released in China.

The Big Ship was released in China on April 10th. Simon originally hoped to release it in one month, so as not to be too eye-catching at the box office. However, because the Chinese audience was too enthusiastic and responded to the public's voice, the film was postponed for one month until June. 10th.

It's next Wednesday.

Speaking of which, "Titanic" was first opened in China, and it broke 100 million in a single week, and 200 million in two weeks. However, as a large number of well-produced pirated discs flowed into the market, the Chinese box office of the film also declined rapidly.

until now.

Compared with the previous long-term, the box office potential has been basically exhausted in the two months this time, and China's total box office is expected to stay at only 395 million yuan, which is only one line away from the 400 million threshold.

This is a data that all parties are willing to see.

The well-made bilingual subtitle pirated disc of "Titanic" was produced and released by Chen Qing under Simon's order.

Otherwise, with China's gradually standardized theater chain system and online ticket sales, it is not impossible for "Titanic" this time, let alone 400 million or 500 million.

That would be too glaring.

According to the result calculated by the girl next to her by snapping her fingers, it is only a few million dollars in income after all, so there is no reason to be jealous.

395 million, just right.

Besides the issue of piracy, Simon knows better, because "Titanic" is also phenomenal in China. In the past two months, China's VCD sales have increased by more than 20% month-on-month. On the Westeros system, whether it is Scooper, who controls the core components of vcds, and BBK, which has become China's largest vcd manufacturer under the support of this side, are full of money.

Simon will definitely not tell Zhu Momo about these insider tricks. He circled the slender waist of the girl beside him and said, "Let's not talk about it. Is there anything interesting about your side recently?"

Zhu Momo immediately became interested when he heard the words: "Yes, hehe, I am funny when I think about it. Two idiots, Xiaowei and Luo Yan, classmates in my class, received an invitation and secretly went to audition, saying that it was a movie. The big-budget costume dramas invested by Hong Kong are like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but they were almost abducted in the end, but luckily I saved them."

Simon smiled and listened, and asked just right: "Why did you save it?"

"They went to the audition secretly. It was at night. Because they were reported and criticized last year, our class was very strict. After going there, they were normal. Later, those people invited them to the nightclub for dinner. It didn't feel good. They found an opportunity to secretly Called me, and asked me to keep it a secret afterwards. Tsk, if Teacher Chang found out, the two of them would definitely be scolded. Later, I not only saved them, but also had people arrest those liars. Girls auditioning and taking to a nightclub to pull down a bunch of assholes."

Simon just nodded with a smile.

I used to be in the circle, and I have seen too many similar things, it is difficult to make any waves like the girl in my arms.

Zhu Momo didn't wait for Simon to ask, and continued enthusiastically: "By the way, Simon, "Hero" has become very famous in China recently. Yes, that film festival..."

"Cannes."

"Yes, at the Cannes Film Festival, many foreign media received rave reviews and reprinted it in China. Everyone can look forward to it now. They said that they will compete with "Titanic". Oh, they probably didn't realize that the two films are both You invested in it."

Simon smiled and said, "Low-key, we just need to know about this."

"Hehe..." Zhu Momo hugged Simon's arm and smiled for a while, trembling her slender body, and then said: "However, it seems that the schedule has not been set yet, and it is said that it is negotiating with the theater to increase the share, Simon, there is a result ?"

"It should be soon."

"Well, everyone is looking forward to it before it is released, and the theater will definitely give in."

It was almost ten o'clock at night.

The two were chatting, Nicole Kidman walked through the surrounding crowd and said to Simon: "It's late, Simon, I'm going home and saying goodbye to you."

Saying so, Nicole naturally sat down on the other side of Simon, and deliberately glanced at Zhu Momo, who was obviously hostile to her.

Seeing that the big goblin was like this, Simon didn't chase him away. He found a topic and said, "I just forgot to ask, how did it feel to participate in the filming of "Lord of the Rings" in Australia, I mean, Peter and the others?"

Nicole understood what Simon meant, but she didn't rush to answer.

The passing waiter asked for a glass of champagne, took a sip, leaned towards the man without any trace, and said, "That's right, Peter is a very humble person. He is never arbitrary when it comes to shooting, and he often calls everyone to discuss it. However, another On the one hand, Peter knows exactly what he wants, and I believe the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy will definitely become a classic."

Nicole's narration was basically consistent with Simon's previous knowledge and his focus on Australia this time, so she nodded slightly.

Nicole was puzzled: "Simon, the filming has been going on for almost half a year, don't you plan to follow up for a while?"

"Look at the schedule, maybe some days will pass in the second half of the year."

Compared with personally following up some blockbuster projects in the past, Simon does this less and less now. After all, the films produced by Daenerys Entertainment every year are just blockbusters with a budget of more than 50 million US dollars. Count it.

I really don't have that time.

Moreover, like Peter Jackson, Simon dared to let go, and he was also confident that he had chosen the right creator, which saved him enough effort.

Ni could see that Simon was not sure, and of course he couldn't force it, so she glanced at Zhu Momo on the other side, and suddenly said with a smile: "By the way, Simon, those girls you sent to Australia to play elves are so beautiful, almost every one of them They all have the potential to be supermodels, and even I feel the pressure, and after dressing up, I can't help but think that the elves are probably what those Eastern European girls should look like."

Nicole is talking about the Ukrainian girl that Simon sent to Australia to play an elf role.

This is Simon's private collection. A total of 17 of them were given away. They are thin-waisted, white-skinned and long-legged, with a minimum height of 175 centimeters. They have small features and delicate faces, a standard East Slavic girl.

I had similar thoughts a long time ago.

At first, I planned to choose Eastern European models, but if I am based in Australia, models who have already established their careers are definitely not suitable, so I chose from my own collection. Seventeen girls are still in Australia. As long as there is an elf scene, they will appear in the camera as a background character.

It can be regarded as Simon's personal bad taste, and an easter egg benefit for future audiences.

Although Zhu Momo is a scumbag, she is not bad in human relations. Hearing what Nicole said, she immediately understood that she was implying that her 'model' was the same as the girls she said were sent to Australia to play tricks. She glanced at her He didn't seem to notice the expression of the man around him, and he couldn't help but counterattack immediately: "Wonder Woman Famke Janssen is a model, indeed, if Simon is willing, maybe those girls you just mentioned, every one of them could be another Nicole Kidman," he said, turning to the man: "Simon, right?"

Simon smiled noncommittal.

When the kittens around him were fighting, Simon's attitude had always been that as long as he didn't scratch his face, he didn't care about anything else.

Nicole didn't expect this oriental chick to talk back, and glanced at someone, seeing that she didn't agree with her own thoughts, she immediately understood what the man was thinking, rolled her eyes slightly, and didn't continue, but stretched out her arms around the man arm, no longer concealing: “Simon, are you free tonight?”

Zhu Momo was already leaning on the man's body, and immediately put her arms around Simon's other arm when she saw this: "Sorry, Miss Kidman, Simon has already made an agreement with me."

Nicole blinked and looked at Simon: "Is there?"

Simon shook his head.

Zhu Momo immediately pouted in aggrieved manner, with a pitiful expression on her face.

Nicole lifted her chin slightly triumphantly.

Simon was holding a wine glass in his right hand. He carefully took his arm out of Nicole's hand and said with a smile, "Okay, I won't promise anyone tonight. I'll sleep by myself."

This time, the two women with very different appearances, temperaments, temperaments and races had the same expression, showing disbelief.

Simon shrugged slightly and said with a smile: "It's been a month, I feel good, and I plan to stick to it for a few more days."

Nicole understood that there was absolutely no need for a man to lie about this kind of thing, so she suddenly stuck out her tongue, with a frightened look on her face, and said to Zhu Momo: "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Zhu Momo has already experienced the dangers of the rivers and lakes, imagined what a man might be like after recharging his energy for a month, swallowed instinctively, lowered his head to take a look at his small body, and couldn't help retreating, secretly thinking about it It's good that Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei are also there. Or, as I have planned for a long time, if I bring two female classmates here this time...

Unfortunately, there are none.

While hesitating or pretending to be hesitant, someone came over to say goodbye to Simon, which brought the two girls back to life.

Simon turned to socialize, and then only stayed at the party for more than ten minutes before leaving. In the disappointed eyes of the non-female guests, only Zhu Momo was brought.

Still not going to do anything.

For this reason, she doesn't even plan to go back to Cape Dumey Manor tonight. Janet has become more and more fond of teasing and ridiculing recently, hoping to bring her husband who has gone astray back to the right track, and weekends are also his free time.

It's just that I still need a fragrant and soft pillow.

Stayed in a mansion on the top of a mountain in Bel Air at night, probably because of the jet lag, Zhu Momo was like a kitten who was very energetic at night, and was not bullied by men, so they hugged each other on the bed and said baby It was late.

Simon woke up at five o'clock in the morning, and the girl beside him was still sleeping.

After dressing and washing, I went downstairs. I was just jogging on the treadmill in the gym to warm up. Another figure in a women's sports suit flickered and moved in hesitantly. When I found that the figure was seen by Simon, I stopped hesitantly. He just lowered his head slightly, obviously guilty.

Just couldn't help it.

Simon smiled and pointed to the treadmill next to him, and waited for Mo Wuling to stand on it with evasive eyes. After some manipulations, he began to walk, and then he spoke jokingly: "I read a document some time ago. In Guangxi, China, there is a car The brand is called Wuling Motors."

Mo Wuling hummed subconsciously.

Immediately reacted.

Wuling Motors... I... couldn't help but stare at it, it was very harmless.

bad guy.

Why is it so bad!

Simon smiled and continued: "It's interesting, isn't it? You have to know that in the West, many people like to name companies after themselves. If it can be passed down, it will be even more of an honor."

She thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

It's just that I am Chinese.

There is no such habit.

After thinking about it, he said: "We are not used to this kind of behavior. Chinese people pay attention to restraint."

"Then I asked them to change the name. You know, I have a lot of investments in China, so it would be nice to change my name."

He didn't expect him to say that, Mo Wuling shook his head subconsciously, how could he ask someone to change his name just because of such a small coincidence: "No, it's too troublesome."

"Um."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Mo Wuling finally couldn't help but said again: "I've been thinking about those words you said back then."

Simon wondered: "Huh?"

"That, in the study in Sandpoint City."

"Oh, I still remember."

The man's tone was casual, and Mo Wuling suddenly felt that he was worthless again.

That's right, maybe it's just someone's casual words, which can be forgotten in a blink of an eye, but she can think about it for so long.

It's just hopeless.

And now, knowing that he has the habit of doing morning exercises in the morning, he even ran over.

sky.

What are you doing!

Fortunately, the man spoke again later, alleviating some of her embarrassment: "Actually, I have been reading that "Han Feizi", and I have benefited a lot."

She then turned her head and looked over, acting curious.

In fact, she almost turned the book to pieces in private, but she is neither a high-ranking person nor has Wu Zetian's ambitions, so she doesn't like that book.

I just couldn't help but turn and turn.

Think about what he will think when he sees this sentence, and how he will understand that sentence.

Alas, I can't save myself.

A voice came from next to my ear: "Which one of "Han Feizi" do you think I would like more?"

"Death sign."

Subconsciously blurted out, and couldn't help but run away after speaking, is this considered to be an active revealing.

Simon smiled, nodded, and read softly: "The country is small but not inferior, the power is weak but not afraid of the strong, the disrespectful and insulting neighbors, the greedy and clumsy friends will die."

Mo Wuling pricked up her little ears to listen to him proficiently recite one of the paragraphs in "Han Feizi"'s "Death March". She certainly remembered it, but she didn't know why he chose this sentence. Waiting for an explanation, the man didn't continue.

So I became apprehensive again.

After thinking about it, I can probably be sure that it is definitely not implying himself or something, so why did he say that again.

Simon just felt it.

It's just a feeling from many years later. Of course, I can't explain it to Mo Wuling, and I don't plan to explain it.

Seeing the sensitive girls around who were ready to escape at any time, she stopped mentioning this matter and asked about her and Zhu Momo's itinerary. After chatting like this, Mo Wuling gradually relaxed, thinking secretly that she was just like this Just talk to him, don't expect more.

Naturally... nothing.
