Chapter 1360

Christina Aguilera obediently obeys Simon's instructions, kicks off her flat shoes, climbs up to her desk and changes several postures like searching. Finally, she lies face to Simon, slightly raises her upper body, supports her arms, holds her face in both hands, and looks at her. Behind her, her legs are cocked up, and her little feet with thin white socks are shaking and shaking, which is pure and enchanting, like a little wild cat.

Seeing Simon look over with satisfaction, the goblin winked seductively: "Simon, do you want me to take off my clothes?"

Simon took another look at the little girl on the table, who is only over 1.5 meters tall but has an excellent proportion. She has a pink t-shirt on her upper body. At this time, she has a small waist exposed. Under her tight washed jeans and a pair of white socks, she feels like a neighbor Laurie. She said with a smile, "no, darling, or I'll drive you out."

Christina saw the man finish and began to look at the documents in front of her again. She vomited her little tongue, looked left and right, took out a pencil from the nearby pen holder, and tentatively extended her little paw to the man's hand. She easily got a page of A4 paper, so she lay down on the desk to write and draw.

After a while, when Simon finished annotating a document, Christina grasped the gap accurately and said again, "Simon, will youth of song and dance sell well? Can it sell 100 million at the box office?"

Simon changed a draft plan for the upcoming acquisition of blockbuster and said casually, "it depends on whether the audience likes you."

Christina tried her best to keep her tone simple: "I'm sure I like it. Simon likes me. How can they not like it? By the way, Simon, the three songs you gave me are very popular in the two capitals. Simon, do you know?"

Simon nodded, "you did a great job."

After Britney Spears was deleted, Simon came up with the idea of making Christina into a combination of Britney Spears, Christina and Avril in his memory, so he lost three famous songs of the three singers, Britney Spears' baby one more time, which was originally given to Britney Spears last year, and the broken one was later transferred to Christina, Then there is Christina's own "genie in a little" and Avril's rock style "girl friend".

Two of the three songs have been released. First, "genie in a little" at the beginning of the year made Christina famous and won the nickname "genie in a bottle".

And then there is the "baby one more time" some time ago. The campus elements of this song fit in with "youth of song and dance", so it can also be regarded as the pre promotion single of "youth of song and dance". Finally, it will be "girl friend" in the second half of the year. The style of the Little Rock witch is more open. This song can expand Christina's image of a good girl formed by her previous single and film.

As for next year's singles, Simon doesn't care anymore.

Start to give a girl a set of golden key, follow-up development is not good, that can only blame themselves.

Christina saw Simon's attention again in front of a document, cleverly re closed his mouth.

From the moment when she was led by her mother to participate in singing competitions to find opportunities, Christina is only one step away from success. She knows that all she has is given by the man in front of her. This is her God.

So obedient to accompany Simon side, until after work, Christina just mentioned again, trying to find out if Simon has time tonight.

Simon has been saving his energy recently. The last week has passed, and he is still going on. He feels a little addicted. Of course, he has no time. However, in the face of the goblin's ardent expectation, he mentions that there is a party after the premiere of rush hour 2 tonight. If she is interested, she can come and play.

Christina agreed with great joy.

On May 15, last Friday, Denise Entertainment's first major summer film, "secrets of Los Angeles," started. This week, "rush hour 2" followed closely, more and more feeling of beating herself.

In short, the biggest difference between the 10 key films in this summer program and previous years is that all of them are distributed by three danilisi entertainment brands, one of which is a cooperative film "Saving Private Ryan". Compared with previous years, it is inevitable that there are several major cooperative projects that other studios are responsible for. This time, danilisi entertainment is also in charge.

This is also the embodiment of Denise's growing strength.

The foundation has been completely stable. Simon does not need to take the initiative to cooperate and make profits to ease the potential pressure of other studios.

When Simon came home from work, he had dinner with the women and the children. He waited until the premiere of rush hour 2, which started at 6 p.m., was almost over, and then he went out again to the Beverly Hilton Hotel where he planned to hold the after Party of the premiere.

This time, I didn't mean to join in the fun.

Last Saturday, after the premiere of hero in Cannes, Zhang Guoshi left France ahead of time and did not return to China. Instead, he came to North America to study and prepare for the trilogy of Chu Han.

Now that I'm in Los Angeles, I'm sure.

Simon is sure to let go of China's film and television entertainment industry, but he won't announce his attitude in a big way. After all, many people have been tied to the chariot of the westero system. If he puts his foot down, more people will be embarrassed.

So just do not say.

The same is true of the arrangement of the spare time party with Mr. Zhang.

Although let go, Simon generally knows that because the brocade book department has given up the leading role and given up the series to China film as a facade project, there have been many variables, and even it is not impossible that the project will eventually be aborted.

Because it's too big.

It is planned to invest 500 million yuan in the trilogy series. If Jinshu does it, it will only lose money. On the other side of China Film Television, once it breaks the pot, it may affect a series of officials in charge, so it is not allowed to lose. The question is, how can film, a near gambling investment field, be safe?

On the other hand, if it's done well, it will definitely be a very brilliant achievement. It's hard for people who have the will not try to play a role in it.

As a result, China film has a rather tangled attitude.

Can we make one first?

Or, can we cut down the cost and only shoot two films?

If the trilogy of Chu Han can perform like crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the future, overseas will be the major player, and the division of interests should be considered.

Balabala.

Simon doesn't care.

In fact, although it is a brand-new project quite different from the original time and space, under the careful work in the early stage of Jinshu, whether it is the script or the details in the plan, it can ensure that this is an epic blockbuster series, which not only involves a quite grand history of the struggle between Chu and Han Dynasties, but also has a very popular martial arts element at home and abroad, Commercial and artistic can be quite guaranteed.

What's more, the planned cost of 500 million yuan is only 60 million US dollars.

Not much for Simon.

With the Kung Fu craze still going on, as long as the three blockbusters are shot conscientiously and reach the quality similar to hero, they will surely make a lot of money in the world.

Beverly Hills, in the ballroom of the Hilton Hotel.

Facing Simon, who is holding Christina Aguilera in his arms and easily captures Laura halling, the heroine of rush hour 2, Zhang Guoshi can't help but envy him. On the surface, he has to pretend to be serious, and he can't express his dissatisfaction with someone's attitude of not paying much attention to Chuhan, It is hoped that Simon can take back the dominant power of Chuhan trilogy.

Simon is not unfamiliar with Chinese style social intercourse at all. He just says that he has made a promise and can't change it rashly.

Unless China film takes the initiative to quit.

Zhang Guoshi was helpless, but he tried to mention whether Simon could put a name on the trilogy, no matter the executive producer in the West or the producer in the East, or even a special thanks.

Simon didn't agree.

Now the films directly produced by his own company, even if Simon himself put forward the idea or script, he is no longer famous, pursuing a kind of invisible state, and in China, he will not be in such a limelight.

Obviously, it's impossible for Zhang Guoshi to understand Simon's gesture of letting go. After a discussion, he only feels that this young super tycoon is not only interested in Chuhan for some reason, but also unavoidably retreats.

You can see the potential of this series.

After this time's hero, if the trilogy of Chu Han can be done well again, Zhang Guoshi will be able to reach the level of national teacher ahead of time, which is enough to leave a heavy impression on himself in the history of Chinese film.

However, from film to the present, Mr. Zhang knows better that such a huge investment in film projects, if many disputes can not be straightened out at the beginning, it is likely to become a disaster in the future. In the history of film, there are countless cases of project failures caused by various kinds of entanglements in the production stage. If you don't want to be ruined, it's best to avoid them.

Doesn't China film want other directors to join in?

Then let them all out.

Anyway, after hero, Mr. Zhang believes that he will not be short of money. You know, although neither China nor the United States has been released yet, after the premiere in Cannes, the feedback from both the media and the audience is quite positive.

In the west, with last year's crouching tiger, hidden dragon as a reference, Mr. Zhang believes that the cost of recovering $30 million is not a big problem. In China, the project has been continuously fermenting since the start of shooting, and the revenue of 200 million is not a problem.

Since Simon's interest in the trilogy of Chu Han is lacking, Zhang Guoshi simply turns to hero and talks about the increase of share with the major courtyard lines in China. He hopes to raise the share ratio of 35% to more than 40%. At present, he has also noticed this matter and started to participate in the coordination. Things will soon come to light.

Speaking of this, Simon also thought of one thing and asked: "Cannes media feedback, has publicity started in China?"

After hearing Simon's question, Zhang Guoshi pauses and says, "I discussed with Shanlin that hero is not likely to win the prize this time. Therefore, although it has been promoted, its scale is not large."

Simon shook his head directly: "to spread out the publicity as soon as possible, it is mainly the comments of the western mainstream media. Oh, of course, it is positive comments. First, we need to finalize the word-of-mouth. By the way, we need to explain to the public clearly that hero can not win the award because it is not good enough. Instead, the three major film festivals are biased towards art films. Hero focuses on commercial films. These two points should be done well as soon as possible."

Once upon a time, hero has a very good reputation overseas, both in professional media and ordinary audiences. The freshness of rotten tomatoes is still as high as 94% many years later, and the popcorn index scored by the audience also reaches 87%. Therefore, we can see the popularity of overseas.

The $170 million box office in the world is no less than the $210 million crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

In comparison, the tendency of public opinion in China can hardly be explained.

It was not until many years later, after going through one lower limit after another, and looking back again, that many people found out how good and how high the hero was when it was biased by the public opinion.

Zhang Guoshi doesn't understand why Simon suddenly explained this, but since Simon said it, he will certainly implement it as soon as possible.

After all, he is a big boss.

After another chat, Jack Cheng, Chris Tucker and others came to say hello. Simon also ended the discussion with Zhang Guoshi.

The next day was May 22.

Friday.

At the same time, the word-of-mouth ban on rush hour 2 was lifted simultaneously. Compared with the first one, even after a private operation, the film critics from all sides gave the sequel only 6.2 points, barely passing.

Fried cold rice, lack of innovation.

And so on.

That's why the premiere was on Thursday instead of last week's La secret Wednesday.

The premiere ceremony is still to be held. This film is more important than LA city secrets. However, in order to avoid mediocre media reputation affecting the box office, of course, the sooner the rating is lifted, the better. The situation may be different one day later.

On the other hand, the box office week from March 15 to March 21 also ended smoothly.

Los Angeles secret, rated as the best film of Bryan De Palma in recent ten years, has lived up to the expectations of the public. It earned $38.76 million in the first seven days of the week and easily won the box office champion in the past week. The first week's performance is close to $13000.

Referring to the past memory, Simon's initial domestic box office expectation for Los Angeles secret is between 50 million and 100 million US dollars, and the first week's revenue will reach 38.76 million US dollars. With the classic level reputation of the film, even under the impact of rush hour 2, the next week's box office will not be too bad. The total domestic box office is very likely to approach the 100 million threshold, or even break through the 100 million yuan mark.

Let's talk about the new box office week on May 22.

In addition to the 3413 screen blockbuster rush hour 2, there are two other films released simultaneously, namely, Warner Bros.'s $50 million crime thriller perfect murder and fox's $40 million black comedy Las Vegas.

In addition, due to Simon's insistence on cost control, the production budget of "rush hour 2" was finally well controlled to US $55 million after giving each of the two protagonists 10% of the gross profit of the global box office.

The average cost of the three films is close to 50 million, almost equivalent to three blockbusters.

This is the first climax of the summer program.

In fact, it's also to avoid Jurassic Park 3 on June 5, including Denise Entertainment's rush hour 2.
