Chapter 1438: This universe is big enough

After the top three, the fourth box office in the second week of the Thanksgiving file was also unexpected and expected. The "Tea Boy" starring Adam Sandler faced the pressure of three blockbuster films, and the first week of seven days remained the same. Got a box office of 23.78 million US dollars.

Although the film's opening screen of 2,654 yuan failed to achieve a blockbuster record of more than 10,000, but considering the mediocre reputation of the film and the intensity of market competition, it is still beyond the previous stage, whether it is the media or New World Pictures. It was beyond the expectations of the development team, but only within Simon's expectations.

You know, the former "Tea Boy" also had a low reputation, with a domestic box office of 160 million US dollars.

However, Simon also understands that apart from Adam Sandler's own appeal, this achievement is due to the fixed market demand for comedy movies on the one hand, and Daenerys' current promotion and distribution channels. All aspects are very strong.

Even so, with 23.78 million in the first week, with the popcorn properties of the film, the local box office can reach half of the previous 80 million level, which is considered a success.

After all, those two words.

Involve.

After that, the fifth place on the list is "Gangs of New York". The long-term trend expected by a few movie fans failed to appear. The cumulative box office of the gangster movie is 47.99 million US dollars.

Moderate, tepid.

In addition to the top five, the other two new films "Comprehensive Siege" and "Love in This Life" basically withdrew from the competition for the Thanksgiving file last week, so I don't want to repeat them.

It is also worth mentioning that "Annabelle 2" in the Halloween file, after the 47% drop last week, the box office decline in the week of Thanksgiving narrowed again, and it was well controlled to 29%. The film continued to earn 9.77 million US dollars, with a cumulative The box office reached 87.06 million US dollars, steadily moving towards the threshold of 100 million yuan.

Immediately afterwards, the new box office week opened on November 27, because it occupied the popular Thanksgiving weekend, three new films were released again, but Thanksgiving has passed after all, and there are no heavyweight movies worth mentioning this time. The premiere of the new film held in advance did not make any splashes, basically it was the blockbuster films of the previous two weeks dividing up the market.

New York, Long Island.

In the past week, the first snow of this winter fell in the Big Apple area. The snow in the urban area was not thick, but East Hampton was covered with snow, and the temperature dropped below zero.

It's Sunday afternoon, November 29th.

In a manor house facing the sea in the southwest of East Hampton, Simon came before noon and had lunch with Nancy Brill, who also flew in from the west coast yesterday, and then went to the second floor covered by the winter sun. Master bedroom to do something you love to do.

Until two o'clock in the afternoon.

The executives with small children had planned their time and came here, about wanting to have a child.

According to Nancy's request, Simon had already mentioned it to Janet in advance, and obtained the "official" permission, and came here today, which is also the kind of leave. Of course, with the guilty attitude of the little executive who was actually a little worried about Janet's reaction, Simon didn't say anything about asking for leave, and even joked that he ran out secretly, fighting wits and courage.

There is no habit of smoking afterwards. After finishing the work, Simon leaned on the head of the bed and turned over half of a copy of "The Economist". face, and asked softly, "Do you want to take a bath?"

Nancy didn't speak, but just shook her petite head, while shaking her head, she pressed the man's big hand under her head.

Simon let the woman rest on his palm, and finished flipping through the "The Economist" in front of him again, before saying, "Why don't you turn over, it's not that big, be careful crushing it?"

Nancy glared at someone, but this time she was not indifferent, and climbed up Simon's body.

Simon reached out to grab the little executive into his arms, and carefully pulled up the quilt to wrap her up.

Feeling the thoughtfulness of the man beside her, Nancy paused and said, "Go back to Manhattan later."

Simon changed a copy of "Barron's Weekly" from the bedside table and opened it again, casually said: "No, I'm here with you tonight."

Nancy followed and looked at the magazine in the man's hand, obviously not thinking about it, and insisted: "You should go back, I don't want Jenny to know."

"Don't worry, Jenny won't know."

Nancy thought of something, curled her lips, raised her head on the man's chest, and looked up: "You usually don't come home at night, how do you argue with Jenny?"

"Driving home and encountered a tornado."

"Then taken to Oz?"

"Yeah, it's hard to escape."

"Didn't you bring a pair of ruby ​​shoes for Jenny as a present?"

"Yes, it's still wine red. Jenny likes wine red the most."

Nancy stretched out her hand and grabbed a thick arm in front of her, put it to her mouth and took a bite, of course she was not willing to use force, she opened her mouth and looked at the shallow tooth marks on it, and said again: "I know, Jenny must have known that I was coming, so , you must go back."

Simon lowered his head and touched the woman's head with his chin: "Are you so afraid of Jenny?"

Nancy tilted her head, but she couldn't dodge it. She could only let the man hold her down. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Jenny and I are good friends. I don't want her to think that I'm going to grab something from her."

"What a friend, you know, Jenny doesn't really care."

"..."

Simon photographed across the quilt

He patted the woman in his arms: "That's it, baby, there is no need to think too much, be careful to think too much, you will get prenatal depression."

Nancy grumbled a little, but didn't insist anymore, and changed the subject with a sharp look: "How many women have you called 'baby'?"

"Very few, just a few of you."

Nancy firmly did not believe it: "Liar!"

"Of course," Simon didn't deny it at all, and said with a smile, "I tricked you."

"rhetoric."

"Of course you need to talk sweetly to deceive a woman." Simon said, and deliberately said in a very proud tone: "I am so rich, I can attract girls with just one look, and I am willing to talk sweetly like this, which shows that I am a very dedicated womanizer son."

Nancy was speechless again, silently pulling someone's arm over again.

I bite!

This time I used a little strength and persisted for a while, until the man cried out in pain cooperatively, and finally let him go.

A minute-long cold war followed.

After the man passed a few pages of "Barron's Weekly", Nancy finally spoke first: "Didn't you have a Chinese dance team here? I want to watch the dance too?"

Simon nodded: "Okay."

Nancy blinked: "Aren't they performing in Singapore now?"

Simon smiled and kissed the woman's soft hair: "Then you still want to watch?"

Nancy was depressed.

I can't say, I just want to make it difficult for you, your normal reaction should be to refuse?

Seeing that the woman didn't speak, Simon continued, "There are still people staying here, if you really want to see it?"

The Guofeng Art Troupe started another global tour with the theme of "Tang Yun" in the previous autumn. This round of performances is much shorter than last year. It's not that the performances were not successful enough and no one watched them, but that Simon didn't intend to let too many people watch them. After all, for art, you have to hold it in many cases, so the number of shows in various countries and cities has been greatly reduced.

Due to the reputation accumulated from last year's performances, coupled with Simon's deliberate hunger marketing, this tour has become even more difficult to find tickets for every place he visits.

Up to now, the tours in North America, Europe and Australia have all ended, and they are currently in Asia, and it is expected to be completed before Christmas. At that time, the girls will either return to China to visit relatives, or return to North America for Christmas, free arrangement.

What's more, after the first batch of girls from the Guofeng Art Troupe, some people left in recent years, and new ones continued to come in.

The current resident of the Guofeng Art Troupe is some newcomers added this year. Although they are newcomers, they are also carefully selected dancers, and their dancing ability is definitely the top-notch one.

Big bed.

Now that men have said so, of course Nancy can't show timidity, and nodded decisively: "It depends."

Simon glanced at the expression of the little woman in his arms, reached out and took his mobile phone, dialed the number of the housekeeper, briefly explained, hung up, and said to Nancy: "They are very close, come here immediately, we Go take a shower first?"

In fact, Nancy didn't want to leave the man's arms anymore, but the matter had already been settled, so she couldn't hang on anymore, but then she said with a reddened face, "No need... take a bath, maybe, will it wash off?"

Simon suppressed a smile, what kind of idea is this?

He got up directly, and hugged the woman's petite body: "Let's be careful, and we can continue at night."

Nancy put her arms around Simon's neck subconsciously, noticed the smile on the corner of his mouth, and wanted to bite again in annoyance, but it was obviously impossible at the moment, so she could only angrily say with a little fear: "You barbarian."

Because of the little woman's concern, the two didn't soak in the bathtub, but took a shower together.

Half an hour later, the two of them, both in casual attire, walked out of the bedroom. Nancy was not wearing high heels, and she was holding the man's arm. The height difference made her feel like a little girl, so she couldn't help but find a topic to divert her attention : "I saw the news about your stock replacement plan, what are you going to do?"

Simon said succinctly: "Break the whole into parts."

Nancy suddenly thought of one thing: "Or to prepare for the inheritance of family assets?"

"You put it that way, I found this kind of benefit," Simon took Nancy to the stairs, and said, "However, it is not mainly this, but a restructuring of the assets of the entire Westeros system. Now it is just started, and it could take many years to complete."

Nancy didn't understand now.

Speaking of having come downstairs, Simon made a later look.

The housekeeper in charge of the manor greeted her and brought five or six young girls with Asian faces. She took off her coat when she entered the room. It can give people a sense of slimness and gracefulness of professional dancers.

In fact, Nancy occasionally rubbed against Janet Dongfeng and watched these Chinese girls dance more than once. However, at this moment, looking at the group of watery girls in front of her, even if she understands men's preferences for women, she still instinctively I felt a little apprehensive, and I couldn't help but regret it.

And unwilling to show it.

Simon was keenly aware of the tightness of the arms of the little woman around him, and he wanted to say a few words to these girls, so he simply dismissed it and said directly to the housekeeper of the villa: "Let them change clothes, Tang Yun theme , starting from Feitianwu."

The housekeeper agreed, and when she saw the host leading the small executives beside him to the corridor, she turned around and gave orders to a group of girls who were clearly disappointed, and took out the intercom to call

Call other maids in the villa to help.

Simon has seen dances here before, and there is a dedicated performance hall of more than 200 square meters on the first floor of the villa.

Taking the small executives to the performance hall, Simon took the initiative to return to the topic just now: "I plan to operate the Westeros system as a country. You know, if a country wants to be stable, it must have a reasonable system. Industrial structure, the current situation is that most of the core enterprises of the Westeros system belong to the category of the tertiary industry, which is obviously unreasonable, so I need to transfer to the primary industry and the secondary industry.”

Simon said this, Nancy and quickly retracted the thoughts just now, and also very smartly noticed why the man took the initiative to say this, and did not struggle, thought for a while and said: "You said that the size of these companies such as Igret It will be very huge in the future, and it will be very difficult to abandon the stocks of these companies and turn to basic industries.”

"It's just that it doesn't look worthwhile on the books," Simon shook his head: "If I don't do this, whether it is Ygritte or Daenerys, with a large proportion of the shares held, they can only control one company, and, then It is only the value on the book, and it cannot maximize the influence of the wealth represented by those stocks."

"I understand," Nancy said this time with some understanding, "However, although I saw that after the news was released, the reactions of all parties were very positive, but the scale of your assets is too large. It shouldn't be that easy to replace."

"Yeah, so I just said it could be a multi-year project."

Nancy shook her head slightly: "I mean, the asset value on your side is too high. Even if you want to change it, other aspects, whether it is a company or an individual, can't afford too much assets, even if they have enough to influence the control of the company. The stock ratio of the rights, but no one is willing to give up voluntarily?"

"This is indeed a problem," Simon nodded, and said, "But again, I have enough time, ten years or twenty years, it doesn't matter, and I will continue to cash out funds directly during the period, be patient, and I can always Complete the layout I envisioned."

With that said, the two came to the entrance of the performance hall.

There was already a waitress preparing in advance. When she saw Simon appearing, she took the initiative to greet her. Seeing the hostess sitting down on the sofa under the stage with her companion, she took the initiative to ask about her needs, and then retreated.

After the two waitresses left, Nancy, who leaned against the man and looked around, finally asked, "Then, after you finish the layout, what will you do next?"

"Oh, and then, the next layout." Simon wrapped his arms around the woman's waist, leaned on the sofa, raised his legs, and showed a bit of heroism in his laziness: "This universe is big enough, baby, as long as we don't If we lose our fighting spirit and don't feel that we are old, then there are enough goals for us to conquer."
