Chapter 1141

My fault?

Even if you don't like the music style, it's the theme song of more than 200 million movies. It's too late to eat regret medicine.

However, her ex-wife complained that she could not finish her business performances at the end of the year. She did not have much leisure time to tangle with her signature Christmas songs and the heart of the Empire in Times Square.

"I won't show up, I won't show up in the cinema, and don't expect me to cooperate with you in the news."

The next day, the first full release day of Titanic ended, and box office performance improved. Bill mckennik, President of fox pictures, called in person to ask for help.

Song Ya refused even though he didn't want to. The disgusting rumor that 60 million yuan would buy a little plum to laugh at had been widely spread with the ship's opening. He would never risk being photographed to see Titanic, let alone help the platform. "No, it's no use trying to persuade me. I, a black Mingxing, doesn't coincide with your film watching group, and Spike Lee is supporting mo It's not convenient for me because of the heavy rain in genfreeman... "

In the transatlantic routes of the early 20th century, no matter the rich people in the first class class or the poor immigrants in the lower class, they were all white people, and the black people would only play the role of waiters, musicians, cooks and boiler workers.

“APLUS！ In any case, we should do our best! okay? And for your 60 million. "

Bill mckennik cried, "let's do it at the box office. I'm I'll have to jump off the building! "

At present, at the box office of beimi's first weekend, Titanic is likely to catch up with 007's empire of tomorrow, but this achievement is far from enough. According to past experience, the Titanic must at least reach the global box office line of "the man in black" starring Will Smith before turning losses into profits.

In the hottest three weeks of summer vacation, beimi box office totaled 150 million!

The Titanic has only two weeks for Christmas and the following new year's Eve, one week less than the man in black. In the first week, even the gap between the Empire of 007 and tomorrow's empire can't be opened. Two weeks or the third week when the overall box office will fall sharply, the total time can't exceed 150 million

Fox's plan is to grind the Titanic into the award season in the next two weeks, hoping to maintain the follow-up popularity with the film awards. However, the role of the awards in improving the box office is limited. Even if they get good results in the Oscars or other weight awards, they can't make up for the weakness of the Christmas and subsequent new year's archives.

"Jump. It's none of my business for you and Cameron to jump."

Song Ya is very ruthless, just to take advantage of his coma to force yelemov to continue to pay for the project.

“APLUS……”

"Of course, I don't want to lose a cent of my share!"

He hung up the phone and immediately ordered yelemov to keep an eye on fox film industry, in case the other side would default on bankruptcy protection.

The Highland Park was very cold all Christmas. Aunt Susie and Tony came together on Christmas Eve. Song Ya was still struggling with muscle boosting meals and extra exercise, taking time to record songs.

"What's the box office in the first week?"

On the 26th, Shakira was sitting under the beautiful Christmas tree in the hall, teasing little Alain in in her arms, while song Ya talked to yelemov on the phone.

"Nearly 50 million, the number one weekly box office, we beat the Empire of tomorrow of 007." Yelemov told the good news, but he was in a low spirits, "but the advantage is no more than 10 million."

"Nearly 50 million, that is to say..."

The general box office performance of next week's new year's box office is not as good as that of Christmas box office, which is flat at most When office workers return to work in the third week, the box office will face a cliff like decline with a 50% discount

"Not so optimistic, the box office will drop in the second week, 100 million to 110 million."

Yelemov replied: "but women's word-of-mouth is booming, fox is ready to continue to mobilize their enthusiasm for watching the film, as well as competing for the award season."

"Damn it, there won't be a miracle?" Song Ya asked with a glimmer of hope.

"I don't think so. Look at the long-term performance."

Yelemov comforted him, "from a good point of view, the situation of Titanic is better than that of cut throat Island, and the box office performance of other global markets is far better than that of future water world."

Which pot can't be opened? "Even if the future water world, the global box office will only be 250 million! We can't cover the cost of our production Song Ya denounced.

"Ha ha! Lost money in Hollywood? Don't worry, aplus, this time we've brought you some good nuclear grade stuff

Outside the door suddenly spread 3dfx trio schadenfreude laughter, rose first came in, "we are going to see tonight, contribute a few movie tickets for your project."

“Fxxkyou。”

The relationship between the trio is getting stale, and they will not take large arcade machines to themselves. This is the eve of the Q4 financial report and annual report of 3dfx. Song Ya called the senior management of the company, including the trio, for a meeting.Song Ya had no good attitude towards them. He glanced coldly at Ballard, the president who followed the crowd. "Haven't you gone to see it yet?"

Ballard and the trio not only offended Sega in the prospectus, but also lied. In 1997, 3dfx's net profit could not reach the $60 million boasted in the prospectus. Even with the combined video, the total operating income of the two companies was less than 100 million, only nearly $90 million.

The gross profit margin is about 50% due to the lack of strong competitors for 3D acceleration chips. The net profit is less than 30 million because of the failure of the voodoo rush project. However, the market value of 3dfx is still more than 600 million.

The market has reacted ahead of time, and the stock price has fallen for days. Fortunately, there is a buffer for Christmas and New Year holidays.

"No, we saw 007. Wow, it's a wonderful spy movie. It's the same flavor. The Chinese American female agent (played by Michelle Yeoh) is really powerful. She looks beautiful and plays beautifully. Her Kung Fu is excellent."

Rose said with a smile.

Song Ya also didn't read 007, but she learned something about it. Like the musical Miss Saigon, the Oriental plot from the western central perspective shows that once a yellow woman meets a handsome white man, she falls in love with each other, even if James Bond is an enemy agent.

"Don't talk nonsense. Solve your problems first."

Song Ya gives Shakira a wink. Latin women know how to give their men face in front of outsiders. Without saying a word, they hold up little Alain en and go upstairs and disappear.

"I don't want to do anything fake in the financial report, OK? Operating income, profit and other data should be able to withstand audit. "

It's a double-edged sword to firmly control the 3dfx board of directors. Song Ya doesn't want to make a fool of himself in such a matter. He is most worried about the trickster trio playing tricks, so he "catches" all the people during the holiday.

"The stock price..."

CEO mclauren hesitated for a while and made a tentative remark, "if the stock price falls too hard, we will have a lot of pressure. Aplus, you know, the UK side didn't want to see video merged by 3dfx at the beginning."

"We can postpone some operating costs and depreciation of equipment to Q1 next year." CFO chief financial officer said.

"Yes, but I still say that. The financial report, especially the first annual report after listing, must withstand the query and test of Wall Street." "We don't play with books, we don't play tricks, we focus on running the company," Song said

"Well..." The CFO looks at mclauren and Ballard.

"The chairman has decided to do it." Ballard replied with a sigh.

"OK."

3dfx executives are a little depressed, but the trio is happy, "or do we have to rely on us, aplus, your computer is still in the study? I'll show you something good. "

Song Ya stands up on the armrest of the sofa, leading the way slowly in front of him without the aid of crutches.

Naturally, it attracted some compliments from mclauren and others.

"Let me introduce to you: VOODOO2!"

The trio directly disassembled the Compaq brand machine in the study into "parts". Scott, CTO chief technical officer, took out two new graphics cards with dense chips from the bag, and all of them were inserted into the motherboard slot, and then connected with various kinds of cables.

"So voodo2 is two cards?" Song Ya asked in silence.

"This is our unique SLI technology, which is probably similar to the line by line scanning of TV sets, one for odd lines and one for even numbers."

When Ross finished, he turned on the computer and said, "try it, aplus."

"Try what?"

"Oh, yes, wait." Rose takes out the game board of Thor hammer 2 and installs it.

"The annual report will report to shareholders in January next year to reveal the listing plan of pure 3D accelerator card VOODOO2, as well as the recent progress of our 2D plus 3D voodoorush2 project. We hope that the popular card can win back the confidence and share price of PC manufacturers."

"I believe we have achieved the best balance of cost, stability and compatibility between the 2D technology of video and the 3D technology of 3dfx, and will not repeat the voodooorush mistake," mclauren said during the installation progress bar

"Of course, there is still an old problem. Video card manufacturers are trying to jointly control the price of vodoo2 terminal products. I think it's better to write down the plan of purchasing a self owned video card manufacturer next year in the shareholder's letter, so that they can use the device." President Ballard suggested.

"You can decide for yourself."

Song Ya thought about it, no big problem. He opened the icon of hammer of thunder 2 on the desktop, and his eyes twinkled for a moment. Two voodo2 video cards brought him a great visual experience. The 3D effect is very close Even more than 3D modeling in babayetu's Apocalypse MV?

"Not bad."

He didn't want to let the trio get too proud. He quickly regained his face and played two random games. It was nothing more than the old FPS game of shooting monsters, and gave a light praise comment, "let's look at the effect of a single card. It should be that few users are willing to pay for two special 3D acceleration cards?"He pointed to the inside of the case, "especially if you need a 2D card, that is to buy three cards at a time? Investment is too high. "

The 2D card used by the trio is not even the product of its own company. It comes from the 2D chip of S3, the brand of the graphics card is dimond.

Perhaps it was a stab in the pain, and rose quietly removed one of the VOODOO2 images.

Sure enough, the 3D effect of the game is poor, but song Ya feels that it is still better than voodo01, "can other competitors catch up with us next year?" He asked.

"Absolutely impossible. No one can fight voodoo 2."

All the people around the computer answered in unison.

"I'm very angry when I see him now."

After that, there was a long meeting around Q4 financial report, annual report and shareholders' statement. There was no rigid regulation on the disclosure time in the United States. However, the annual reports of listed companies were generally launched from January to March, and 3dfx was set in January.

The trio rushed to show off VOODOO2, but didn't get the expected slap from Sonya. Ross left Highland Park and angrily swore.

"Where are you going now? Back to the hotel? "

Asked Scott, who was driving.

"No, go and see the Titanic that took him off his pants. I want to see the piracy and not contribute a cent to that guy!"

“OK。”

Scott drove downtown Chicago and picked a movie theater.

When the three men walked into the ticket hall, they immediately felt a little embarrassed because they were surrounded by a pair of young men and women.

A lot of girls cry so much that their eyes are swollen. They hold a tissue box and ask the man around them, "Ijump, youjump?"

"I jump..."

"I'll dance if you dance."

"If you jump, I will..."

"You can't find a way to die?"

The men's answers varied, and then they either hugged the girl and harvested the tears and lips moved by them, or were thrown away on the spot.

"What?"

For no reason, rose went to line up to buy tickets, and the two pairs were hugging each other like no one else. "Rose and Jack..."

"Do you know me?" He heard that the couple in front of him seemed to mention his name, "who's Jack?"

"You? Cut The girl turned around and looked up and down contemptuously and rolled her eyes.

Laozi is a multimillionaire! No better than your boyfriend in a cheap jacket? What a simple girl with no eyesight!

Ross abdominal Fei, but the other side really strange good-looking, "you have seen this film?" "Did you just talk about the plot?" he asked persistently

"Yes, she had to do it again." The boy showed a bitter face and replied helplessly, "Oh!" She was soon attacked by the girl's nails.

Rosner followed the long line slowly to the ticket window.

"I'm sorry, we're out of tickets for the Titanic." Post a ticket to the top of the window.

"Let's see the next one." Rose put in a large bill for a 100 meter knife. "Can you wait for the next one?" He asked the two techno diehards who were suffering in the middle of lovers.

"The next show is sold out, as long as it's for the Titanic, it's gone today."

The conductor replied, and there was a howl in the hall.
