Simon in a duplex on Fifth Avenue on the Upper East Side.

After tossing and turning, and socializing until late last night, Simon still got up at 6 o'clock in the morning in New York and began to prepare breakfast for the two in person.

Today is October 6th, Friday.

With another day on the set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles planned, Simon and Janet are leaving again. Daenerys Entertainment has a lot of things to deal with Simon recently, and Janet will also return to the Melbourne headquarters to personally take charge of this operation.

And, given the confirmation that a crisis in the U.S. junk bond market is imminent, it's easy to associate it with staying in New York, which is not a good thing.

The next reunion is in early November. The Boeing 767 ordered from Boeing happened to be delivered, and some of the most pressing things in their hands should be finished.

After breakfast, Janet hurried to the Westeros Company in Midtown, where Simon and Jennifer met, and sent the female assistant to the New York branch of Daenerys Entertainment in Greenwich Village to listen to some work reports. Headed to Brooklyn, east of Manhattan, where Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was filmed.

It's still 6:00 a.m. in Los Angeles, and the box office data for the previous week has been released.

From September 29 to October 5, in the 14th week of its release, Daenerys Entertainment's "Sixth Sense" received another $5.09 million, and the cumulative box office has reached $275.06 million.

"Uncle Buck", which was released on August 11, also entered its eighth week of release, and received another $3.26 million at the box office in a single week, bringing the cumulative box office to $57.02 million. With a box office potential of around $10 million, "Uncle Buck" is expected to be John Hughes' second-highest-grossing film in recent years after "Spring Is Not a Book Day."

"Bodyguard", the first released in the summer, due to the recent dispute between Daenerys Entertainment and Alista Records, the box office data that had already begun to wrap up has rebounded on a small scale in recent weeks. Last week, the box office received another 510,000 US dollars. $118.31 million at the box office.

"Bodyguard" currently has only 286 screens left, and it is expected that the local box office will break through the $120 million mark before it goes down.

In addition, in September, Gaomen Pictures successively launched "Sweet Sister" and "Woman on the Roof" bought from the Cannes Film Festival. The two films were released on September 8 and September 22 respectively.

Ella Deutschman has worked out an effective radial distribution model through the release of films such as "Metropolis", "Sisters" and "Sid Sisters" in the first half of the year, that is, in New York, Los Angeles, etc. Small-scale openings in central cities to test market responses and then gradually spread to other cities.

Jane Campion's "Sweet Sister" was marketed in the three major cities of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. After the test screening was recognized by the media, Deutschman decisively invested 300,000 US dollars in advertising expenses in the three cities.

"Sweet Sister" opened on September 8 with a scale of 26 screens. In the first week, it made an outstanding achievement of more than 19,000 US dollars in single-store revenue, and the box office revenue in seven days reached 510,000 US dollars.

Taking into account the film's audience, Goldman Pictures' distribution team predicts that "Sweet Sister" is expected to gross $5 million in North America.

Gaomen Pictures bought "Sweet Sister" with an advance payment of only $500,000, and the overall publicity and distribution expenses after the increase can also be controlled within $1 million, although 50% of the box office will be paid to the producer in the future. Profits are shared, but the later videotapes and TV broadcasts will all be owned by Daenerys Entertainment, and this project is also considered a small gain.

As for "The Woman on the Roof", Gaomen Pictures did not seek recognition from the media, but hyped up the lesbian elements and erotic scenes in the film. Deutschman also arranged for the two heroines of the film to appear on the film. A local New York-oriented men's magazine.

In response to the audience's habit of disliking subtitles, Gaomen Pictures specially produced a dubbing version for this Swedish film.

Highgate Pictures invested a total of $300,000 in the film's purchase, dubbing and publicity. "The Woman on the Roof" opened on 11 screens in New York on September 22, and took back $230,000 at the box office in seven days. Calculated based on the $100,000 publicity investment in New York, this has paid for itself, and the box office of more than $20,000 in a single venue is also better than "Sweet Sister".

However, in the second week after the opening of the film, with the screen size unchanged, the release area of ​​"The Woman on the Roof" in New York was still limited to the box office drop of 36% from September 29 to October 5, which is far less curved than "Sweet". "Sister" is strong. It is expected that after several months of long-running release, North American box office forecasts should be able to reach around $3 million.

Speaking of which, these two small businesses of Gaomen Pictures are hardly worth mentioning in front of Daenerys Entertainment's "The Sixth Sense", "Bodyguard" and other blockbuster films, but Simon did not take it lightly, he always insisted on a kind of A $500,000 business and a $50 million business are the same attitude.

After all, if a big tree only lacks branches and leaves, it is destined to die. These "small businesses" are actually the branches and leaves of Daenerys Entertainment.

What's more, no one is sure whether these inconspicuous branches and leaves suddenly became another towering tree one day.

In addition to the local box office, some overseas box office data of "Bodyguard" also appeared in this week's report.

In this era, the overseas release of Hollywood movies will generally be delayed by more than three months compared with the mainland. Daenerys Entertainment is also very cautious about the overseas release of "The Sixth Sense". Therefore, of the three summer movies, only "Bodyguard" is currently available. Log in overseas one after another in September

market.

The dispute between Daenerys Entertainment and Alista Records on the "Bodyguard" soundtrack album has been heated up, and Alista Records has to accept the strong attitude of Daenerys Entertainment last week. Daenerys Entertainment's financial audit is now drawing to a close.

On the other hand, the complete suspension of sales of the original soundtrack album of "Bodyguard" did not hit the box office as many people imagined. The audience's strong curiosity about "Bodyguard".

The major overseas ticket warehouses started from the earliest release in the United Kingdom on September 8. In the past month or so, the film has accumulated more than 86 million US dollars in ticket warehouse countries such as the United Kingdom, Spain, and Italy. This is still in Japan. , France and other large ticket warehouse countries without release.

In my memory, the box office distribution of "Bodyguard" is that overseas accounts for the majority. The North American box office of the film is only over 100 million, and the total overseas revenue is close to 300 million US dollars. It now appears that the film will still reproduce the original box office distribution rules.

The overseas box office was not affected, and Daenerys Entertainment naturally took more initiative in the dispute with Alistar Records.

Because of this initiative, Simon returned to Los Angeles over the weekend, and just after the audit was completed, Alista Records deposited a total of $38.25 million in cash into Daenerys Entertainment's account, of which $7.53 million was paid by Alista Records to Dany Liz Entertainment's arrears of compensation.

Daenerys Entertainment also took the initiative to make some "compromises", and did not announce the specific amount of the settlement reached by the two parties, which was considered to save some face for Alistar Records.

However, everyone in the circle is probably well aware of this matter. Daenerys Entertainment's strong statement through the "Bodyguard" soundtrack album has also given all other studios that have cooperation projects with Daenerys Entertainment a strong statement. Warning: If you want to engulf Daenerys Entertainment's interests in the cooperation, Daenerys Entertainment will never choose to compromise even if it loses both.

Los Angeles.

Fox Studios in Century City.

In the two weeks since Simon's departure, Fox Pictures has quickly completed the preparations for the first "Sleeping with the Enemy" in the 10 projects. The film is expected to be released in the golden schedule in June next year, so all parties have given the green light. The film is this It will start in late month.

In comparison, the other three films to be released next year, "The Hand That Shakes the Cradle" are expected to be released at the end of July and early August next year. The competition at the end of the summer season will not be so fierce, which is just suitable for the thriller genre with a long line of reputation. It can avoid competing with "Sleeping with the Enemy", which is also a thriller.

The schedule of "Ten Days of Dangerous Love" is initially confirmed to be Halloween at the end of October next year. After this year's "Scream 2", the third part of the series will be suspended for one year, so there will be no internal friction at that time.

"Pink League" is expected to be scheduled for the Thanksgiving holiday in November next year, so that it can avoid "Home Alone" in December.

The other 6 films in the remaining 10 films will probably be released in 1991 and 1992. Simon also admitted to many people that the first four films are not the focus, and the real "blockbuster" must be behind.

After finishing a morning production meeting of "Sleeping with the Enemy", everyone had lunch together. Simon was about to return to Santa Monica when he was stopped by Joe Ross and returned to Joe Ross's president's office in the studio. .

The two sat down, and Ross handed over a document and said: "Simon, this is the copyright transfer agreement for "Terminator". Hemdale's original asking price was $3 million plus 5% of the film's omni-channel net profit share. , We negotiated with Hemdale for a month, the copyright fee of 3 million US dollars has not changed, and the share ratio has been changed to 5% of the film's box office net profit."

Simon took over the copyright transfer agreement that Ross handed over.

The copyright transfer price of 3 million US dollars, although not up to the same sky-high price that Simon had taken advantage of when he secretly purchased the Tol King Middle-earth series, was already very high. With this money, Hemdale probably no longer expects too much share, which will agree to exchange 5% of the net profit of the omni-channel for 5% of the net profit of the box office.

Omni-channel net profit share and box office net profit share are two completely different concepts. Anyone who knows a little about Hollywood accounting rules understands that Hollywood movies usually do not generate profits on the books, let alone just pure box office profits.

Putting down the agreement, Simon asked Ross, "Where's Cameron?"

Joe Ross shook his head: "Cameron insists on directing himself, Simon, I think we can leave him alone and do it ourselves."

Simon asked, "So, have you read the script for Cameron's sequel?"

Joe Ross nodded: "I've seen it, it's not bad."

Simon shrugged and said, "I've seen it too."

The two looked at each other for a moment, then smiled bitterly together.

Now that you have read Cameron's sequel script, unless you completely abandon the idea of ​​the liquid robot, if you want to get rid of Cameron, you will wait to be prosecuted in the future. Although Joe Ross said it was not bad, he obviously did not understand the finishing touch of the liquid robot.

Therefore, it is not very difficult to completely put Cameron aside.
