The next morning, I woke up in a private garden deep in Taohuawu. I drank alcohol last night, but my health was so good that I didn't feel any discomfort.

This is a bedroom on the second floor of a small building with a small window beside the big bed.

Lying on the window sill and looking out, the eaves of the building are flying, and the green curtains are the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. However, Chen Qing suddenly thought of another word: the courtyard is deep and deep.

Then I felt that if my boss was here, I would definitely feel more emotional.

Speaking of which, Chen Qing can feel that her boss actually likes to come to China, and she restrains her from coming to China often.

Thinking about it privately, it's probably because of his status. After all, the position that a man is in has received too much attention, either explicitly or implicitly, and it is easy to affect his whole body.

After a short daze, I quickly got up and started a new day.

Sitting at the table and eating breakfast, Jiang Shanwu talked about one thing. In Hangzhou, an auction advertisement that the boss occasionally saw when he read the newspaper last time, the Overseas Chinese Hotel by the West Lake, has been won.

Lin Su sent a message to ask how to deal with it?

Explain.

As the operation of Jinshu Film and Television City is on the right track, Jinshu Hotel and Catering Company, a subsidiary of Jinshu Film and Television Tourism Development Group, has also become quite large in recent years. Have a fairly mature team.

Therefore, the plan is to draw people from here, first clean up the hotel up and down, confirm what is wrong, and then gradually bring it on the right track.

To be honest, it is not easy for Chen Qing to be able to operate a hotel in such a prime location by the West Lake for so many consecutive years of losses.

But of course it is understandable.

In the past, some things still have to be continued, but some are optional. As long as they are eliminated, it will not be too difficult to make money.

What's more, according to the owner's ideas, winning this hotel is not to make money from the hotel itself, but the land owned by the hotel.

Real estate.

Occasionally, when she thinks about her boss's huge layout in the Chinese real estate industry, Chen Qing doesn't dare to think deeply, because she always thinks of Japan.

Do a lot of private understanding.

The development of the real estate industry can indeed drive the development of the economy to a large extent, but once it is over-dependent, it is not easy to get rid of it.

Then stop thinking about it.

Can you manage so much in the future? What's more, it's not something she can manage.

After breakfast, go to see the girl in the morning.

The more resources you have, the easier it will be to find beautiful girls, and you will gradually form a habit. After all, your boss obviously likes it. Moreover, for the girls, it is also an opportunity: do you want to immigrate?

These days, 90 out of 100 people must be thinking about it.

Think at all costs.

However, Chen Qing is not guaranteed.

It is certain to let you go abroad, but whether you can immigrate depends on luck, such as whether you can win the favor of your own boss?

After another busy day, I flew to Seoul the next day.

I discussed with my boss about Clinton's visit to Vietnam in August, and this time I will go to South Korea to further coordinate some of the planned investment projects.

After the private plane took off, Chen Qing remembered that in the past few days after returning to Suzhou, it seems like...forgot something.

However.

Next time, next time.

Olivia Fuji Chen Westeros: My mother? !

...

While everyone is busy, another box office week in July is coming to an end soon.

The first is mainland China. From July 14th to July 20th, "Kung Fu" received another 187 million yuan at the box office in its second week of release. Counting 236 million in the first week, the total box office broke through. It has reached the 400 million yuan mark and accumulated a total of 423 million yuan, making it the box office champion in mainland China's film history in one fell swoop.

A jubilation.

It can be said that the release of "Kung Fu" in July 2000 has become a small event in China. Even if the film has broken the film and television record, everyone is still paying close attention to this film. The moment when the box office broke through the 500 million mark and raised the record set by "Titanic" by a large margin.

Meanwhile, across the ocean.

"Spartan 300", which was released on the same day as "Kung Fu", had an unsatisfactory comprehensive media score of 6.9, but with the popularity of almost word of mouth, the first week of this summer was second only to "Finding Nemo." After the opening box office of "Spartan 300 Warriors", the box office drop of "Spartan 300 Warriors" was controlled to a considerable 37% in the following week, and it collected another 60.65 million US dollars.

The film's cumulative box office thus reached 156.93 million US dollars.

There is no suspense at 200 million. 250 million is the next stage goal. As for 300 million, it is still not too much hope.

However, even if the film is finally fixed at the box office of about 250 million US dollars, it is already a huge success. After "Resident Evil", Zach Snyder easily promoted to the ranks of first-line directors with this "Spartan 300 Warriors".

Daenerys this, the usual three-part contract.

There is one left.

In the face of other studios wooing Zack Snyder, Simon was not very anxious.

The main thing is that Zack Snyder's foundation is undeniable, but his shortcomings are also obvious. Of course, the director has only made two films this time, both of which have been quite successful, and others have not found his shortcomings.

Simon is clear.

To put it simply, Zack Snyder's narrative ability in movies is weak, which is why he is better at projects with novel or comic story bases, but even if he has a story base, he often gets out of control. Perhaps for die-hard comic fans, Zach Snyder would have to shoot the story for more than three hours each time, or even ten hours. But, on a commercial level, this is definitely not going to work.

Cinema movies, three hours are already the limit, and two hours is the best choice.

The director just lacked the commercial ability to compress a story into two hours, which inevitably contradicted the studio's previous work.

Then again, whether it was once or this time, Zack Snyder's first two films were actually well controlled within two hours, so why did it get out of control frequently later?

Simple.

The coffee position is high, and the right to speak is stronger, and then I can't help but play freely.

This is also why Simon has always insisted that film creators must be subject to sufficient constraints, and no matter how high the coffee position is, they cannot be messed up. Rather, it requires a certain compromise between personal creative ideas and the studio's commercial needs, otherwise the result is often disaster after disaster.

For example, I always used to threaten a certain Fei that we didn’t care about anything other than giving money. It was a lot of money. What kind of **** are you stacking up?

Then came the gradual rise of traditional studios.

The reason why traditional studios can catch up in the field of streaming media is very simple. They have a large number of classic works that have passed the box office or ratings test. This is not achieved by throwing a few big directors into a bunch of assembly lines of.

The name of the big director is not so attractive, and it will be counterproductive to spend money and let them make bad movies.

In short, since other studios have various olive branches, Simon is very happy to let Zach Snyder go out and fly. With the confidence of his two consecutive movies, the control is definitely appropriate. As for the extent of the release, See God's will.

What if you were to succeed again?

The same is not a big problem. After all, there is still a film about to be here, and I will come back to shoot sooner or later. Even if it is really gone forever, Simon has enough talent reserves in his pocket.

While "Spartan 300" unexpectedly maintained a good trend in the second week of its release, another new film released by Daenerys, "Magic Mike 2", did not perform as well as expected.

The first movie of "Magic Mike" had an ultra-low cost of 7 million US dollars, and the North American domestic box office received 123 million US dollars. Although the overseas box office was not satisfactory, the global box office finally reached 170 million US dollars, which can be described as a dark horse.

For this sequel, Daenerys once again invited Steven Soderbergh to direct, and the production cost more than doubled to $15 million. However, the filming started on July 14, and it only earned 26.28 million in a week. Dollar box office.

Compared with the production cost, 26.28 million US dollars is certainly not low, however, this is not even lower than the 27.32 million US dollars in the first week of the first week.

Not only that, the first part was completely a dark horse trend. Even if it didn't reach tens of millions in the first week, it finally won a box office of 123 million US dollars with a good box office curve. This time, with the accumulated popularity of the first film and sufficient publicity before its release, the New World Pictures team in charge of this project predicted that the film would need to reach about 40 million in the first week to ensure that the sequel will still exceed 100 million.

$26.28 million, clearly far below expectations of $40 million.

According to this opening, the final North American box office of "Magic Mike 2" will fall around 60 million.

Of course, it is still a good result, but it is inevitably regrettable.

Because the box office gap is too big, even without Simon's strategy of delaying the development of the sequel, the third part will be difficult to start again.

July 21, another Friday.

A new box office week kicks off, and Daenerys' new film this week is "Black Dahlia."

This adaptation of a novel based on true events is much more popular than "L.A. Confidential", one of the previous 'L.A. tetralogy'. After the success of "L.A. Confidential", "Black Dahlia" The project was successfully approved and continued to be directed by Brian de Palma.

Speaking of which, there was once a version of "Black Dahlia" directed by Palma, with Scarlett Johansson in the role, and it turned out to be a miserable box office.

Simon still chose Palma this time, and was not affected by his past memories. It was also because the previous version of "Black Dahlia" was originally a mess that Palma accepted. At the beginning, that project was David Fincher. After deliberation, the director wanted to shoot the film into a black and white film. Of course, the studio did not agree. After a long time, it finally fell to Palma. The veteran director was under the framework of Finch's long-standing story. Display, and ultimately unsatisfactory.

This time, Simon tailored the script according to Palma's personal style from the beginning, and then combined with the version he once remembered, learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and the result was satisfactory.

The premiere was held two days in advance, and word of mouth was lifted. Even if it was not as good as the previous "L.A. Confidential", the comprehensive media score reached 7.8 points. For a murder-type crime thriller, this is already a considerable achievement. Among them, Simon re-engraved the video tape performance of Mia Koshina in the 06 version, and it has received frequent attention from film critics, thinking that only by virtue of this performance, Mia Koshina can get it again An Oscar nomination for supporting actress.

Therefore, all parties have considerable confidence in "Black Dahlia" continuing the commercial success of "L.A. Confidential".

...

The following weekend after July 21, the Simons were in Atlantic City on the east coast.

The 2000 Elite World Elite Model Contest finals, which was held on Saturday, July 22, was also chosen to be held here again for the sake of publicity for Atlantic City's many casinos affiliated with the Westeros system.

Simon, of course, did not attend the finals scene.

After all, when he went, the whole audience looked at him. He was a big man and ran to grab the limelight of a group of little girls. It was too unkind.

Just attended the after-party after the finals.

History has been disrupted by Simon, the big butterfly. On similar occasions, there are fewer and fewer familiar faces that can be found. However, this time there are still two, one from Australia, the famous Miranda Kerr, and the other. A famous baby-faced supermodel from Canada, Jessica Stein.

It's not too accidental actually.

Both of them were accidentally discovered by Simon when he was flipping through the list of Elite contestants before, and then, with such a big behind-the-scenes hand, it was easy for him to take two girls to the top.

However, the two women only entered the finals.

In the end, I didn't get any awards.

This is not Simon's deliberate arrangement. After all, the model competition has its own set of fixed procedures. Simon can pick out the two girls, and the follow-up depends on their good fortune and let it be.

Speaking of which, the experiences of the two models are quite different.

They are all baby-faced types. Miranda Kerr is definitely a winner in life. Even after a few marriages, with children, she can marry a billionaire who is 7 years younger than herself. The other, Jessica Stan, was originally very tall, but as a result, she was basically destroyed by drugs. She was only in her twenties, and her once delicate baby-faced appearance had turned into a face of vicissitudes.

The two girls, one is 17 years old and the other is 14 years old this year, are both good models in their careers. I don’t know what their life opportunities will be this time, and how far can they go?

Anyway, as we all know, Simon is a tycoon who is very willing to help people, the kind of Djinn.

Therefore, after Saturday's final, Simon invited a group of finalists including Miranda Kerr, Jessica Stein and other finalists to fly to their private estate in the Bahamas the next day, and by the way, he taught a group of young Scallion life experience.
