Veronica came to Los Angeles to pick up Melbourne on March 1.

Janet completely lost her initial expectations when she was halfway through her pregnancy, and sent away the "little annoying" she often talked about. She was finally liberated and flew to New York the next day.

Neither Simon nor Janet are worried that Veronica will take good care of Melbourne.

Because in February, Veronica suddenly decided to step down from her job as chief financial officer of Johnston Holdings.

The Johnston family did not block it too much, and Raymond Johnston hoped that Veronica could put down her work and return to life a long time ago.

Veronica controls the family finances, on the one hand, because of her ability, on the other hand, it is also an arrangement when Grandpa Janet was alive. The chief financial officer of many companies is often a key candidate for ceo, so the importance of this position can be seen.

The Johnston family does not have the infighting of other wealthy families. However, Veronica voluntarily relinquishes the power in her hands, which is what Anthony Johnston, the next-generation family leader, hopes to see.

As for Veronica giving up her job to help the Simons take care of their children, this matter made the entire Johnston family very puzzled.

The reason finally found is probably that Veronica has always been very partial to Janet.

Although this reason seems to be difficult to justify, including Raymond Johnston, there is no deep meaning.

Of course, the old man still called and scolded the Simon and his wife for dumping the little guy to Veronica irresponsibly.

Simon is very interested in limited brands, the parent company of Victoria's Secret. Janet, who has always been very blind to Simon's judgment, identified this company as the key acquisition project of Cersei Capital's Apollo Management Company this year, so she went to New York to sit in person.

Flying Janet to New York in person, Simon arrives at Daenerys Studios to start a new week.

Today is Monday, March 2nd.

As soon as he arrived at the office, the female assistant followed.

Reporting today's schedule and important matters that Simon needs to know, the female assistant handed over several documents.

The first thing Simon saw was a box office report of Daenerys Entertainment's film discovery work for the three labels in the first two months of 1992. In the morning, there was a summary meeting of the directors of the three labels on the film release work in January and February.

Without rushing to open the report, Simon looked at the female assistant and whispered, "Jenny is not at home tonight, do you want to go to my place?"

The female assistant listened to Simon's apparently intentional cheating tone, and gave him a blushing look, pointed to the stack of documents that Simon was holding in his hand, and said, "There is also a Wisteria Street effect planned according to your draft. picture."

Simon just nodded, and winked at the female assistant in a 'relentless pursuit'.

Jennifer's fair face became more rosy, she hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Let's go to San Francisco."

"Then you can arrange it," Simon said with a smile on his lips: "However, the 767 has sent the little guy to Australia, so we can only take other planes. In addition, since we are going to Seattle, we will arrange a regular meeting of the senior executives of Igret tomorrow morning. Well, I want to know more about the recent operating conditions of the Amazon online store."

The female assistant nodded, took out the memorandum and made a few simple notes, looked at the small notebook in her hand, and seemed to ask casually, "Why did you send Moore to Australia when he is so young?"

Simon didn't feel too strange about the female assistant's question, and of course he didn't tell the truth. He came up with the reason he had made up long ago, and said, "This involves some privacy of the Johnston family, so it's not convenient to tell you."

The female assistant hummed slightly, raised her head, glanced at Simon with her bright eyes, and suddenly said with certainty, "My Seattle, I won't let you send it away casually."

Simon did not hesitate: "Of course, you are the mother, you have the final say."

When Jennifer heard Simon's words, "You are a mother," her face turned slightly rosy again. She put away the memo in her hand and said, "The meeting starts at a quarter past nine. I'll call you later."

After saying that, he left the office.

Simon smiled and watched the female assistant go out before opening the box office report in his hand.

In two months, the three labels have released 7 films in a row, which is equivalent to the annual distribution of some second- and third-tier film companies. In fact, MGM has only released 8 films in the past year.

Therefore, although Simon will not show anything to the outside world, he is still a little uneasy about this obviously radical release rhythm.

Even within Daenerys Entertainment, there is no objection to Simon's annual distribution of 40 movies for the three labels.

Amy Pascal has expressed concern about this.

The reason why Simon insists on this is, on the one hand, for the further expansion of Daenerys Entertainment, occupying more markets, and on the other hand, it is also for the purpose of accumulating more copyrights in a short period of time, and at the same time, to play the role of Daenerys Entertainment in the theater market and the market. The potential of the videotape market, with rich enough copyrights, can also lay the content foundation for Daenerys Entertainment's next step into the cable TV and even longer-term streaming media market.

Whether it is the cable TV era in the next two decades, the streaming media era, or even the booming video tape market at this stage, the demand for content resources is very strong.

Merged mca and controlled MGM, Simon's nominally available film and television copyright resources

There are thousands of sources, but I have to admit that the copyrights of a large part of these film and television works are too old, unless it is a classic such as "Gone with the Wind" and "The Wizard of Oz", otherwise, most people are not interested in watching a movie. Old films from decades ago are not of much interest.

Of course, Simon won't be stubborn if it turns out that rhythm doesn't work.

If a company wants to prosper for a longer time, the most critical point is that it must face up to its mistakes and make changes in time, instead of resting on its laurels.

When I opened the report in my hand, the data of 7 films in the previous two months appeared in front of my eyes.

In the first two months of 1992, the seven films released by Daenerys Pictures, New World Pictures and Gaomen Pictures under Daenerys Entertainment were "The Scream", "Dancing Heroes" and "New World". Bridge Lovers, Reservoir Dogs, Ghostbusters 4, Double Dragon Club, and High Heels.

Among them, "The Scream" and "Dancing Heroes" were distributed by Daenerys Pictures, "New Bridge Lovers", "Reservoir Dogs" and "Love High Heels" were distributed by Gaomen Pictures, "Eighthounds 4" and "Double Dragon" Meeting" is distributed by New World Pictures.

"The Scream" is a musical film starring John Travolta and Heather Graham, and a project inherited from Universal Pictures. The genre, after participating in Pulp Fiction, has seen a resurgence in Travolta's popularity in recent years, so the film's budget reached $15 million.

However, after the 1,107-screen scale opened on January 17, the apparently outdated old-school musical only grossed $1.98 million in its first week.

The sluggish opening results made "The Scream" basically finished in just two weeks, with a total box office of 3.51 million US dollars.

Bloodless.

Fortunately, with a budget cost of $15 million, the loss is not too tragic after all.

Hit by the failure of this film, Travolta will probably be completely "transformed" next.

Simon also used a pencil to circle the name of "The Scream" heroine Heather Graham.

This sexy actress who is only in her early twenties and has a Barbie-like appearance. In recent years, she has appeared in films of various levels such as "Psychedelic Cowherd" and "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother". "Scream" " is the first female lead film, and the partner is still John Travolta. But it turns out that this beautiful vase, which Simon remembers has always been very active in Hollywood, has no commercial potential.

Another random cross was drawn on the name, and Simon looked at the data for the next movie.

"Dancing Heroes" is also a musical, directed by a newcomer from Australia named Baz Luman.

That's right, it was Baz Luhmann, who directed the famous "Moulin Rouge" in the original time and space.

Unlike "The Scream", which is more of an old-school disco style, "Dancing Heroes" is more inclined to a dance film. Moreover, this Baz Luhmann's debut feature film has the director's strong personal style, passionate, gorgeous, and lively. , At the same time, the film does not have any pretence to be advanced, whether it is a pleasing dance or a concise and clear plot, it has an obvious commercial atmosphere.

Compared with "The Scream"'s 4.6-point unqualified film review score, "Dancing Heroes", which was released on February 7, achieved an excellent comprehensive media score of 9.5 points.

Because of the uncertainty of the film's box office prospects, the Daenerys Films team adopted a small-scale release model, with 38 screens in the first week, and the final pavilion reached 28,000 US dollars. In such an unpopular schedule, this way used to be excellent. After experiencing another word-of-mouth fermentation of 76 screens in the second week, "Heroes of the Dance Country" expanded its screening scale to 681 screens on February 21.

As of the past weekend, "Dancing Heroes", which has been in the works for three and a half weeks, has reached a cumulative box office of 9.31 million US dollars.

After all, the audience for dance-oriented musicals is limited. The main creators of "Heroes of the Dance Country" are all Australians, and they lack sufficient popularity in North America. Therefore, the Daenerys Films distribution team has no intention to further increase the distribution scale. .

However, in three and a half weeks, the $9.31 million box office has already secured the North American box office of at least $20 million for the musical.

On the other hand, although "Dancing Heroes" is an Australian film, it is actually a project that Simon personally picked, so it is invested by the Australian branch of Daenerys Entertainment. As a new work, without any big stars, the budget cost of "Heroes of the Dance" is only about 3 million US dollars, and only in this way, it also enjoys a part of the Australian government's tax rebate.

Compared with the box office fiasco of "The Scream", "Heroes of the Dance" is undoubtedly a surprise.

Simon invested in Buzz Luhmann based on his prophetic strengths, mainly for his two other blockbusters, the modern version of Romeo and Juliet, Little Plum's hit, and later, Moulin Rouge. Simon doesn't have much memory of "Heroes of the Dancing Country", so he has no expectations.

The result was a surprise.

Only North America can harvest 20 million US dollars at the box office, and it will not be a problem to double it on a global scale.

Under the omni-channel operation, this film with a budget cost of only $3 million may bring a net income of no less than $30 million to Daenerys Entertainment.

Also marked with a few strokes on Baz Luhmann's name, Simon continued to look at the next film.

"Lovers in the New Bridge", a love film starring Juliette Binoche, this film gave Simon the impression that the male and female protagonists hugged and stood on the bow and shouted. Later, this

The lens was used by Cameron on "Titanic".

With a budget of 160 million francs, this romantic film can be described as the most expensive romance film ever made in France, equivalent to 28 million US dollars.

The production of the film was bumpy, and when it was released in Europe, it proved to be a disaster.

When Gaomen Pictures obtained the distribution rights of this film, the original expectations were not high. They only hoped to use the gimmick of "the highest budget cost" and signed a pure agency distribution contract with the French film company.

Facts have also proved that this film is a tragedy.

Gaomen Pictures arranged a small-scale release on 103 screens on January 10. The box office in the first seven days of the first week was only 130,000 US dollars, and it went directly to the next two weeks, and the North American box office was only 190,000 US dollars.

Calculated, Gaomen Pictures will lose about 600,000 US dollars in publicity expenses on this project, and can only hope that the later videotape release will make up for it.

The release date of "Reservoir Dogs" is January 31, the second week after the Sundance Film Festival. It can be said to strike while the iron is hot.

This time, because of the proper publicity strategy, "Reservoir Dogs" performed very well in the market.

The opening scale of 336 screens, the revenue of 4.37 million US dollars in the first seven days of the first week, the museum average reached 13,000 US dollars.

Subsequently, the screen size of the screen was increased to about 500 yuan. In four and a half weeks, the cumulative box office of this low-cost drama film has reached 11.73 million US dollars, and it is expected to reach 15 million US dollars before the next release.

Compared to the budgeted cost of $2.5 million, the project was a huge profit.

Highgate Pictures has therefore signed an intentional contract with Quentin for the next film, and Simon is also looking forward to what Quentin's next work will be after Pulp Fiction is gone.

Next.

"Love in High Heels," a drama by Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, tells a twisted story involving infidelity and murder between two generations.

Almodovar's "Tie Me, Tie Me" last year caused a lot of controversy. Daenerys Entertainment had the opportunity to get this movie, but finally gave up voluntarily. It did not fall into the hands of the original Miramax, but was won by Orion, and the box office was not shy.

For the current "Love in High Heels", Gaomen Pictures has signed a distribution contract with an advance payment of $300,000 plus a 50-50 share of profits, including omni-channel copyright in North America.

After opening on a small scale with 166 screens on February 7, in three and a half weeks, the cumulative box office of "Love in High Heels" also reached 1.37 million US dollars, and the total box office is expected to reach 2 million US dollars.

Overall it's a small profit.

The five films released by Daenerys Pictures and Goldman Films are roughly evenly divided.

The last two films of New World Pictures, "Ghost Chasing Soul 4" and "Double Dragon Club", performed very well in the market.
