Malibu.

On a new Monday, the windows were not closed last night, and the cool morning breeze kept fluttering the floor-to-ceiling curtains leading to the terrace and slipped into the bedroom.

The sky was completely lighted up, Janet opened her eyes, knowing that Simon must have woken up, but she didn't move because she was entangled in him, so she rubbed her body, and soon she was completely lying on the man's body, her face pressed against the man's body. He said confusedly on his chest: "Can we sleep for a while?"

Simon stretched his arms around Janet's waist, enjoying the skin-to-skin feeling, and said softly, "The designer hired by the company has already made a model of the Batmobile. Would you like to come and see it this afternoon?"

Janet hummed a little dully, and then said, "No."

"All right."

Simon smiled and patiently allowed Janet to lie on her body for a while, before she lifted her up and put her aside amid the woman's dissatisfied snorts, and began to get dressed and washed.

The time is seven in the morning.

After jogging on the treadmill for half an hour, Simon simply took a shower, changed his clothes, and started to prepare breakfast for the two of them.

Just after putting the two folded sandwiches in the oven, Simon took a few oranges from the refrigerator and was about to make juice when Janet floated in from the outside wearing only a large men's shirt.

After cutting the orange with a knife, Simon turned to look at the woman and said with a smile, "Why don't you sleep?"

"Without you," Janet came over and hugged Simon, slightly tiptoed up and kissed the man's lips, then stopped suddenly, raised her hand to cut over her head to Simon's mouth, and made a few consecutive gestures Down, his eyes widened immediately: "Little, little boy, have you grown taller again?"

Janet's beautiful eyes always had an attraction that Simon couldn't resist, especially the wide-eyed look in surprise.

Nodding, Simon looked at the woman's beautiful eyes and said with a smile, "It seems to have grown a bit longer."

Janet was immediately sad, reached out and hugged Simon tightly, buried her head on his shoulder and muttered: "Oh my God, my boyfriend is still growing, woohoo, I'm already an old woman."

Simon felt the obvious sense of insecurity in Janet's half-truths, picked up a woman's delicate face that was no less than an eighteen-year-old girl, bowed her head and kissed, and comforted: "Okay, baby, you are so Paying attention to maintenance, even in ten or twenty years, it will definitely be the same as it is now."

Janet put a sticker on Simon's cheek with her cheek, but she asked a little tricky: "What about thirty years later?"

"Um, thirty years later, I'll be fifty years old too."

When Janet heard the words, she buried her head on Simon's shoulder and hummed: "A fifty-year-old man must be more attractive to little girls."

Simon was helpless and said, "I am very attractive to little girls now. This kind of thing can't be prevented."

Janet couldn't help laughing, raised her hand and slapped Simon: "Little bastard."

The two were intimate for a while, and Simon sent the woman to get dressed, and he quickly brought the two breakfasts to the dining room.

When Janet came back, she had already changed into a small t-shirt and slacks. Although it was sad to find that her boyfriend had grown taller, since she realized some of Simon's potential tendencies, women seldom wore them again. My favorite high heels.

High heels will deform your feet if you wear them for a long time.

People sit across from each other at the dining table, but Janet likes to be next to Simon.

Taking a sip of the orange juice, Janet picked up the sandwich and bit it lightly, as if she had completely forgotten what happened just now, and said, "Mom called yesterday to ask when you are going to Australia?"

It was confirmed that the filming location of "Batman" was arranged in Melbourne, and Daenerys Pictures had already sent someone there to see the scene, and Simon himself would definitely go to Melbourne to see it in person before filming began.

After thinking for a moment, Simon said: "Next month, after receiving New World Entertainment, I will focus on the preparation of "Batman"."

"In recent years, Australia has made great efforts to support the film industry. Filming there, this project can get a large tax rebate," Janet turned her head to the side, obviously not very clear, said: " Anyway, Dad will definitely help you."

After breakfast, Neil Bennett and Ken Dixon have their cars ready, Simon rushes to work in Santa Monica, and Janet goes to an architectural design firm in Beverly Hills.

The plot of Cape Dumay Park has been won, Simon provided a sketch based on the Iron Man mansion in memory, and Janet has been staring at the specific design work during this time. The project is expected to start construction next year. However, it is not easy to build such a villa in the pointed area of ​​Cape Dumei. Simon may need to wait patiently for two or three years if he wants to live in it.

Because of the way, Janet and Simon took a car until downtown Santa Monica, before changing to the wine-red Land Rover driven by Ken Dixon and rushing to Beverly Hills.

Simon's original Chevrolet SUV had been disposed of by Janet and was replaced by a black Land Rover. The car had just entered 4th Street in downtown Santa Monica, where Daenerys Pictures is headquartered, and Simon saw that the crowd gathered outside the company's headquarters today increased.

After the success of "Who Will Be a Millionaire", not only a few reality shows from Daenerys Pictures, but also many other production companies and even TV networks themselves are brewing various reality show projects that do not require the participation of screenwriters. Moreover, after the proposal provided by the Producers Union was rejected by the writers' union last month, because of the situation brought by "Who Will Be a Millionaire"

As the tide turned, Simon heard that the Producers League was mulling a new deal that was even tougher than the one from last month.

The strike lasted for half a year, and the wga had few options.

If the two sides can't reach an agreement next month, anyway, the autumn schedule has been completely delayed, and the producer alliance may break the jar and continue to stalemate. But tens of thousands of mouths are waiting to eat. If WGA continues, it may really cause the tragic collapse of the union.

As the "initiator" who led to the reversal of the current situation, these days, screenwriters have always been uninterrupted to express their dissatisfaction outside the headquarters of Daenerys Pictures.

However, when Simon's car came to the parking lot of the headquarters, he found out that the new group of people were not members of the Screenwriters Guild, or rather, they were two groups of people.

There are still some members of the wga trade union who came tirelessly, but more people today came to protest "Instinct".

And, looking at the slogans like 'Instinct is trash', 'Westeros, you're no longer welcome in San Francisco', 'Discrimination, it's discrimination', 'Stop smearing gays' and the rainbow flag in the hands of some, Simon I understand what happened.

In recent days, "Instinct" has indeed caused a strong controversy in the media, but after all, it has not reached the level of the original time and space Lionsgate's release of "Angry Crime", which touched the fundamental belief and caused thousands of people to gather. However, on the other hand, as the stronghold of North American gays and lesbians, gay organizations in the San Francisco area are very dissatisfied with the portrayal of homosexuality in "Instinct".

According to his own thinking, it is difficult for Simon to understand why gays are so resistant to this movie. He even heard that in the past few days, many gay groups in San Francisco specially distributed spoiler leaflets such as "Catherine is the Murderer" at the entrance of the theater. Prevent the audience from entering the theater.

The car slowly passed through the crowd and entered the parking lot. Simon entered the office building directly from the side door of the company's office building. Basically, the company's employees had already arrived because they were used to the situation outside the headquarters. Everyone didn't care too much, as long as these people did not interfere In the operation of Daenerys Pictures, the two sides are in peace.

A one-hour weekly meeting was held to confirm the operation progress of various projects under the company. A group of executives dispersed, and Simon and Amy continued to stay in the meeting room.

Jennifer also sent over the box office data report of the past weekend.

After being busy for so long, I finally got to see the results today.

In the first three days of its release, "Instinct" finally achieved a box office of 16.75 million US dollars and successfully won the first place in the box office chart for the three weekends. The scale of the 1,776 opening screens was US$16.75 million in three days, and the box office in a single hall was close to US$10,000 in three days, which obviously heralded the great success of the film.

"Journey to America," starring Eddie Murphy, is in its third week of release. Following last week's 45% box office drop, the weekend box office drop this week narrowed to 21%, with another $10.41 million, two and a half weeks. The cumulative box office has reached 66.51 million US dollars, and it will undoubtedly become a blockbuster with a box office exceeding 100 million this year.

In comparison, this week's new film "Tiger Detective", which ranked third, was produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and starred in Clint Eastwood. .

Although this box office performance is not bad, it is expected to reach about 13 million US dollars in the first week, but the film's first week box office is also destined to be unable to compare with the three days of the first weekend of "Instinct".

After careful calculation, the two Warner Bros. films this summer, "Funny Farm" in June and "Tiger Detective" in July, happen to be the same as the two films "Vulgar" produced by Daenerys Pictures. Novel" and "Instinct" collide.

Last month's Chevy Chase's "Funny Farm," now nearing its end, has grossed less than $25 million.

The box office performance of "Tiger Detective Chasing Soul" may be slightly better, but it is definitely not too successful.

On the other hand, "A Fish Named Wanda" starring Sandra received an additional $5.63 million in three days last weekend. Because of its strong word of mouth, the film has been released for two and a half weeks, and the cumulative box office has reached $30.96 million. .

When Simon and Amy checked box-office figures for the weekend at Daenerys headquarters, similar box-office reports had spread across Hollywood.

It got $16.75 million in three days. Even if the three-day weekend accounts for 70% of the box office for the whole week, the box office of "Instinct" will not be less than $23 million in the first week.

Although the previous "Journey to America" ​​has just achieved a box office of more than 30 million US dollars in its first week, in this era, a film that can exceed 20 million US dollars in the first week of the box office is definitely a success. "Instinct" took in $23 million in its first week, a lot higher than "When Harry Met Sally" in March.

Therefore, as long as the box office drop of 45% in the next week like "Journey to America" ​​does not occur, "Instinct" has the potential to continue to sprint to the 100 million box office in North America.

In fact, when looking at the opening weekend box office numbers of "Instinct", most people will not doubt that the film will be like Daenerys' other two "When Harry Met Sally" and "Pulp". Novel" sprints to the 100 million yuan mark.

After all, the topic of this movie is so hot that even if some people did not go to the cinema in the first week due to the controversy, in the following weeks, it is likely to be further spread due to the topicality and some word of mouth. effect and enter the theater.

Even if it is $23 million in the first week, then, the next week's box office is counted as a 20% drop, and the film will be able to collect another $18 million at the box office, more than 4 weeks in two weeks.

The $0 million in revenue is not only enough for Daenerys Pictures and Fox Pictures to recover all production and distribution costs, but this achievement is enough to squeeze into the top 20 of the annual North American box office list.

then.

With the opening weekend box office release, the whole of Hollywood began to study the success of "Instinct".

Femme beauty.

This is an important element that is commonly captured by many studios, and, of course, 'sex', although the Hollywood strike is still going on, studios have begun to collect scripts with these elements.

Simon knew, however, that the fundamental reason for the success of "Instinct" was actually the intense topicality of the film caused by various controversies. The quality of the film itself is of course important to the box office performance of the film industry, but according to surveys by many research institutions, a film has reached a certain level of popularity, even if it is a thoroughly bad film, it can still achieve a very good box office .

In fact, this is also the fundamental reason why the marketing expenses of Hollywood movies have become higher and higher and even gradually reach the level of production costs.

In the final analysis, many of Simon's previous works were also blessed by the aura of topicality.

The eighteen-year-old director of "Lola Run," the youngest Palme d'Or winner of "Pulp Fiction," and now, "Instinct."

Simon also knows that after "Instinct", the public's curiosity about him will gradually cool down. In order to achieve the success of the previous works and continue to produce high-quality films, Daenerys Pictures needs to be in the film. More energy is put into the publicity of the company, and there is no longer any shortcut to take.

In such discussions, the first week passed quickly.

In the final seven-day period from July 15 to July 21, the box office performance of "Instinct" was higher than the media generally expected, reaching 23.92 million US dollars.

Followed by "Journey to America", the box office fell to $16.03 million in its third week of release, with a cumulative box office of $72.34 million.

Warner Bros.' "Tiger Detective" ended up grossing only $13.19 million in its first week. According to the current situation, Warner is likely to repeat the mistakes of last year. In 1987, Warner's highest-grossing film was "Lethal Weapon", which was thrown into the unpopular schedule at the beginning of the year. This year, as of now, Warner's top box office success is still Tim Burton's "Beetle Juice", which is very undervalued in the Easter schedule.
