After the false alarm, Daenerys Entertainment's operations quickly returned to normal.

However, through this incident, Amy, the head of the Westeros system, also realized how fragile Simon's business empire was in some respects.

When all kinds of rumors suddenly came from Melbourne, Amy even heard that the Los Angeles County government was planning to set up a special working group to prepare to take over Daenerys Entertainment. Because in law, Simon is actually alone, and he does not have any legal heirs.

Janet is undoubtedly the closest person to Simon, but legally, the two have nothing to do with each other.

Moreover, during this incident, no one thought that Simon, a young man in his early twenties, would think of making a will or the like.

While rushing to Melbourne, confirming that their boss was safe, Amy and James advised Simon to re-establish his will and, in some cases, an asset agent. They had learned that Simon had left a will with George Norman, but with billions of dollars in assets involved, it could not be too prudent.

Lawsuits over the huge estate of Howard Hughes, who died in 1976, are still ongoing more than a decade later.

A lot of information confirms that Hughes left a will in that year, but because of the lack of a clear legal heir, driven by huge interests, all true and false will documents were declared invalid, Hughes' huge inheritance completely became a lot of money. A gluttonous feast that people are vying to snatch.

Naturally, Simon didn't want to end up like Hughes, so he followed the advice of Amy and re-drawn the relevant will and proxy documents under multiple guarantees.

Entering March, after "Rain Man", Daenerys Entertainment's other two films "Steel Magnolia" and "Dead Poets Society", which were scheduled at the end of last year, also achieved box office breakthroughs of 100 million in North America.

As a result, in 1988, a total of 11 North American box office 100 million yuan club films appeared, of which 7 were produced by Daenerys Entertainment, and the other 4 were Disney's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", Paramount's America's Journey, Fox's "Future" and Paramount's Crocodile Dundee 2.

At the end of 1988, the two films "The White-Headed Detective" and "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother", which were also box office hits in the same schedule, could not reach the threshold of 100 million yuan under the attack of many blockbuster films of Daenerys Entertainment.

The two films are still being released, but according to the current box office data, the North American box office of "The White-Headed Detective" is only about 73 million US dollars, and the total domestic box office of "Dragon Brother and Mouse" is expected to be only about 95 million US dollars.

Of the 7 Daenerys Entertainment films that achieved a box office break of 100 million in North America, 6 have entered the top ten of the 1988 box office list, and only the last "Dead Poets Society" is still chasing the tenth "Crocodile Dundee". 2".

However, although "Dead Poets Society" can't be regarded as a big hit in the awards season like "Rain Man", it is also not low in recent topics, and it is not difficult to catch up with "Crocodile Dundee 2", which was released last summer.

On the other hand, "Bodyguard" and "The Sixth Sense" have been successfully completed recently, and the filming progress of John Hughes' "Uncle Buck" is also over halfway. Daenerys Entertainment has officially announced the schedules of the three films, which are June 2, June 30, and August 11, respectively. Some pre-publicity work for the three films has already started.

Previously, on February 24, following the "Blue Angels of Thunder", Daenerys Entertainment's Highgate Films released its first film "Metropolis", directed by Whit Stillman. This petty literary film did not win an award at the Sundance Film Festival in January, but it has a very good reputation.

Metropolis cost $3 million to make, far more than the hundreds of thousands of dollars that Whit Stillman had planned to call on his family and friends to help with the filming.

Because of the use of some well-known actors and the word-of-mouth of the film, "Metropolis" opened with 127 screens, and the box office reached 1.39 million US dollars in the first week of its release.

Ella Deutschman put down a $2 million release budget for the film.

It earned $1.39 million in the first week. After appropriately increasing the scale of the show, relying on long-term release, it is expected that the total North American box office will reach about $8 million to $10 million, which is enough for Daenerys Entertainment to recover the full cost of the film's North American box office alone.

While Metropolitan's projected North American box office may not be as good as the first-week figures for some of Daenerys Entertainment's biggest hits, that's how Goldman is positioned. Simon is already very satisfied with the operation of Ella Deutschman.

Easter this year is March 26, which is earlier than usual.

After "The Metropolis", another film "Sisters" by Gaomen Pictures will be released on March 17, and the release date of New World Pictures' "Monster Hunt 2" is also March 24, which is the Easter schedule. .

overseas.

Because the overseas distribution channel was established from scratch, Robert Rem's work progress was relatively slow. However, with the four best-selling film rights of "Scream," "Steel Magnolia," "Dead Poets Society," and "Rain Man," everything went smoothly.

It is expected that in the first half of this year, Daenerys Entertainment will be able to realize the distribution of the company's four best-selling films at the end of last year in major overseas ticket-holding countries. Moreover, as long as this channel expansion is completed, the overseas distribution of Daenerys Entertainment’s future films will be much faster.

Finally, a large number of "Pretty Woman with the Moon and the Moon", "The Love of the Ghosts", "Ninja Turtles", "Ninja Turtles\

,"For projects such as "Driving for Miss Daisy", Daenerys Entertainment's film business can be said to have truly entered a sustainable and healthy state of development.

Los Angeles.

Sophia Fisher arrived here yesterday after leaving Melbourne.

Because the fashion week in the second half of the year is crucial to the recovery of Gucci, although she has received funds and commitments from Simon, she still flew to Los Angeles in person, intending to communicate with Amy face to face.

Moreover, Gucci also has a store on Beverly Avenue. Sophia also plans to carry out some financial audits and personnel adjustments for the store here. These tasks also require the assistance of Daenerys Entertainment. She can't find it in a short time. With the right accounting team, the same goes for the specialty store over there in New York.

After signing the equity transfer agreement, Sophia did her part to appoint herself as the president of Gucci, because Melisandre already had absolute control, Gucci no longer set up a board of directors, and the core members of the original Gucci family only got some titles such as consultants. .

Today is Saturday.

Sophia spent two days in the store on Beverly Avenue and arrived in Malibu early in the evening.

Here's a PR party organized by Daenerys Entertainment.

Because of Daenerys Entertainment's ongoing public relations campaign for the Oscars at the end of the month, the Palisades mansion has become the target of many tabloids, and the company can only change the location to hold various parties.

Today's party took place at a mansion in Malibu that Amy had just bought, in Paradise Cove, not far from Doumey Point.

After the 1987 stock market crash, housing prices across North America continued to fall, and Malibu was not able to escape. The booming real estate development in Malibu in the early 1980s had almost stagnated in the past two years, and housing prices were at the lowest point in these years.

However, Amy is keenly aware that with the construction of Daenerys Entertainment Studios and Dumay Point Manor, Malibu is sure to become a gathering place for many Hollywood celebrities.

Now is the right time to start buying real estate in Malibu.

Although she won't get her last year's bonus until late March, Amy has started looking for a nice oceanfront mansion in Malibu early.

It was getting late, and seeing that the guests were almost there, Amy, who welcomed the guests with her restaurant owner boyfriend, was a little more relaxed.

After the party was officially announced, Amy went to the living room next door alone.

As Simon inadvertently predicted, Sophia Fisher and Nancy Brill really hit it off, because they both arrived early, and the two women had been chatting for more than an hour unknowingly.

Amy sat down on the sofa next to Sophia and Nancy with a glass of red wine and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Nancy said: "Sophie's plan to ask the little boss to help shoot the Gucci commercials is not a good idea at all. Although I don't doubt that he must have enough strength to shoot a stunning set of commercials, but such a gimmick The ability to promote the brand is not as great as imagined.”

Hearing this, Amy looked at Sophia with some confusion. Nancy's thoughts sometimes made people a little bit unable to keep up.

Sophia explained with a smile: "As for the promotion of Gucci, I hope that Simon can personally shoot a set of advertisements for Gucci, but Nancy proposed another suggestion to shoot a fashion documentary about the Gucci brand based on the preparations for the fashion week in the second half of the year. ."

"Fashion documentaries, it's a novel idea, and if you're going to do it, I can help."

Sophia said: "Without the help of Daenerys Entertainment, I can't do this."

Amy realized that Sophia was not joking, and she became serious and thought about it: "If you really want to do it, you can put it under the banner of Highgate Pictures, which is in charge of Ella, and operate it as an art film. However, Sophie, I remember, shouldn't luxury brands be as reserved and low-key as possible? Would that be a bit flamboyant?"

Before Sophia could answer, Nancy shook her head and said: "The luxury brands that are too low-key have probably disappeared. I have privately studied the process of Bernard Arnault's operation of Dior. Bernard Arnault originally bought Dior's mother. When the company Bosac Group, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Dior was almost unsustainable. Bernard Arnault sold most of the assets of the Bosac Group and concentrated on running Dior in only a few years. Let the brand come back to life. Arnault's main operation is to maximize the exposure of the Dior brand through large-scale advertising campaigns and various eye-catching PR activities. In this regard, we actually have an advantage. "

Amy nodded, looked at Sophia again, and said, "In this case, you can talk to Ella later."

Sophia has already started to think about how to make this documentary, she responded and asked Amy again: "How about you, Amy, what are you busy with recently?"

Amy smiled and said, "A lot of things, I feel like I'm going to fly."

Nancy suddenly whispered beside her: "I can help you share it."

Amy raised her hand and poked Nancy's waist, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will never give you a chance to replace me."

The grievance between the two has long since been lifted. With Simon's recent dismissal of the boss, many important decisions need to be made by Amy herself. Under the pressure, she found that it was difficult for her to regenerate those careful thoughts in the past.

Amy really doesn't mind letting Nancy do some of the work for herself now, if necessary.

Still, Nancy has an equally heavy workload on her hands, with Daenerys Entertainment Consumer Products, Blizzard Studios, and the recently-launched Daenerys Analytics.

(daenerys-analytica-company) needs to occupy a lot of her time, plus this woman's habitually strong attitude in the operation of Blockbuster, she has no extra energy to help herself.

Nancy opened Amy's hand and said, "Speaking of which, why did the little boss faint last time? I don't think it was because he was overworked, and it always felt a little weird."

"The doctor didn't find any problems, but you all know what happened to him three years ago. It's hard to say this kind of thing clearly," Amy was also a little unclear, so she looked at Sophia and asked, "Su Fei, you just got back from Melbourne, what do you think?"

"I don't even know."

Sophia shook her head as if nothing had happened, but she couldn't help but think of when she was alone with Simon in a cabin in Tasmania. Although they didn't get along very often, she could clearly feel that Simon had undergone some obvious changes after the last fainting incident.

It's just that Sophia couldn't describe what exactly this change was.

Maybe it's not too embarrassing to say too clearly.

The three women chatted for a while, then got up again and went to entertain the guests at the party.

Sophia also found Ella Deutschman, who was chatting with guests in the crowd, and talked about making a Gucci documentary under the recommendation of Nancy.

Ella Deutschman's main focus during this time has been on the PR of several films such as "Rain Man". However, after hearing the introduction of the two women, he quickly showed great interest.

There has not been a very successful fashion documentaries in the industry. Most of the so-called documentaries are more inclined to talk shows, and the communication platform is also limited to the small TV screen. However, this just so happens to be an opportunity.

Moreover, the Gucci brand and the Gucci family have been full of topics in recent years.

If done right, it could even bring this documentary to the big screen.

On the other hand, such a documentary does not require too high production costs. According to past experience, it can be completed with only three to five million US dollars. Because it is for the publicity needs of the Gucci brand, Gucci definitely needs to share a part of the funds, which is equivalent to sponsorship fees, which can further reduce the budget.

Ella Deutschman has a discretionary budget of $30 million. Except for the distribution of the three films "Metropolis", "Sisters" and "The Sid Sisters", Highgate Pictures is only certain for now. With the production plans for "My Left Foot" and "Driving Miss Daisy," both of which cost less than $10 million combined, Deutschman has plenty of money to develop other projects. .

After a brief discussion, everyone quickly finalized the development plan for Gucci's documentary.

After the party, Ella Deutschman also agreed with Sophia to continue discussing this matter in detail tomorrow, and the energetic Nancy Brill also participated with great interest.
