Although there are some differences with Disney, the protagonists of "The Hand That Shakes the Cradle" were quickly determined.

Not only Rebecca Demoney, the original villain No. 1, but several other protagonists are also the original cast. After another month of preparations, the film is expected to start in December.

In addition, "Sleeping with the Enemy", which will be released at the earliest in the summer of next year, has officially started in North Carolina on the east coast.

On October 27, with the release of several new films such as "Scream 2", the Halloween schedule opened.

Due to the great success of films such as "Death Is Coming" and "Scream" in the previous two-year Halloween schedule, Hollywood studios have paid more and more attention to this festival, and the schedule will inevitably become crowded.

In addition to "Scream 2", there were five other new films released on the same day, of course, only "Scream 2" by New World Pictures, "Aliens" by Universal Pictures and "Information Yin Yang" by Warner Bros. The World" has more than 1,000 screens, and the other three new films are only a few hundred or even a few screens on a small scale.

Among them, "Alien Monsters" produced by Universal Pictures was produced by Ron MacMillan, who had previously left Daenerys Entertainment.

Although Daenerys Entertainment and Universal Pictures collaborated on "Ten Days of Dangerous Love", some articles about the popularity of "Aliens and Monsters", "Scream 2" and "Scream 2" have clearly appeared in the media. Universal has a good sense of proportions, and did not inspire many contradictions. This kind of "touching porcelain" is a kind of improvement to the popularity of the two films, and Daenerys Entertainment just let it go.

Because of the box office failures of "Death Is Coming" and "The Butterfly Effect" sequels, Daenerys Entertainment is also uneasy about the commercial prospects of "Scream 2".

However, probably because the "Scream" series is a complete story, not the sequels like "Death Comes" and "The Butterfly Effect", which just apply the template of the first movie. Most of the main creators quit, "Scream" The popularity of "Called 2" has not lost much.

Coupled with Daenerys Entertainment's tireless publicity campaign, "Scream 2" earned $22.63 million at the box office in the first three days of the first weekend, which has exceeded the box office data of the first seven days in the first week.

In comparison, "Alien", which tells the story of a small town being attacked by mutant insects, only made $5.91 million at the box office during the same period. Although it ranked second on the weekend list, the data was less than one-third of "Scream 2".

Warner Bros.' "Notice of Yin and Yang Realm" made $3.55 million at the box office in its first weekend, ranking third, and still did not pose any threat to "Scream 2".

Beyond that, the other films on the weekend box-office chart are not worth mentioning.

Janet was not around for Halloween, and Catherine hadn't been to Los Angeles for a long time. The female assistant still lived at her uncle's house, and she spent the festival with her relatives. Simon had to randomly choose a party in the circle to spend the festival.

Santa Monica.

It's already Thursday, November 2nd.

At Daenerys Entertainment headquarters, the meeting about the Blockbuster IPO lasted an afternoon.

After several months of preparation, Blockbuster has basically determined that it will conduct an IPO in January next year, and plans to issue 15 million new shares, roughly equivalent to 22% of the original total share capital of 68 million shares. The specific issue price of the IPO is still under negotiation with Morgan Stanley, which is responsible for the underwriting of the new shares.

Based on the estimated offering price, Blockbuster's valuation has more than doubled to nearly $1 billion compared to the $400 million that Daenerys Entertainment was valued at when it took a stake.

At the same time, Daenerys Entertainment will ensure that its 35% stake in Blockbuster remains unchanged by participating in the subscription.

Blockbuster chairman Wayne Hewyzenga and his original partners had enough stakes to compete with Daenerys Entertainment. After the IPO, Wayne Huyzanga’s shareholding in Blockbuster was reduced to 7%, and several other partners, including Wayne Huyzanga himself, had a total shareholding of less than 20%.

Daenerys Entertainment, which still maintains a 35% stake, will thus become Blockbuster's largest shareholder with the strongest voice.

Send Blockbuster's executive team out of the company headquarters, Simon was about to return to his office, Nancy Brill followed: "Simon, the game "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" will be released tomorrow, by the way, I'm on Have you tried the cassette I gave you this time?"

"I've been too busy lately, please let me go, I've already told you all the opinions I can make." Simon took his little executive to the stairs, spread his hands and said, "In addition, you Have you discussed with Blockbuster management about taking over Daenerys Analytics?"

Seeing that Simon changed the subject, Nancy could only say: "No, I think this state is not bad. By continuously charging Blockbuster consulting fees, it is enough to satisfy the operation of the analysis company, and the headquarters itself can more easily obtain a lot of useful information. information.”

"You're right, but after the company goes public, shareholders will likely only see Blockbuster paying exorbitant fees to a consulting firm that they may not need, and may even be channeled as illegal benefits."

"Since Blockbuster has chosen IPO, even if it doesn't do so, there will definitely be other doubts," Nancy didn't care, she said, "Also, if someone raises doubts at that time, the solution is actually very simple, Danny Liz Entertainment can pay for the shares in their hands."

Simon was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Good idea."

Since choosing to go public

In any case, accepting market supervision and questioning is fundamentally inevitable.

Simon happens to be unsatisfied with the company's current 35% stake in Blockbuster. If someone really jumps out to find fault, Daenerys Entertainment can completely buy back more shares.

When he came to the office, without waiting for Simon to give in, Nancy sat down across from his desk very familiarly.

Simon leaned on the leather chair, looked at the woman sitting across from him, and said, "Don't always wear high heels if you feel uncomfortable, it's not good for your body either."

There were obviously some surprises on Nancy's face, and she didn't expect Simon to find such small details.

It is definitely not so easy to step on Xantian Gao for a long time. Nancy will never stand if she can sit on weekdays, and she will secretly take off her shoes in her office. It's just that she didn't plan to admit this to a little man, she said stubbornly: "No, I like wearing high heels the most."

Simon just shrugged and looked down to open a copy of the "Home Alone" script that John Hughes just passed on today.

It's past get off work hours, and because of the afternoon meeting, there are no other arrangements. Simon is used to leaving the company at six or seven o'clock, so he plans to read the script of "Home Alone" before leaving.

Seeing that Simon didn't pursue her high heels, Nancy said again after a while: "Simon, do you think our test in the video game field will be successful?"

Simon didn't look up, with a smile in his tone, and said: "At the beginning, you took dozens of pages of planning books to encourage me to invest, and now you have no confidence?"

"Of course not, I did everything I could, and if it were me, even if I failed, I would continue. The scale and profits of the video game industry are obvious to all," Nancy shook her head and said: "I just think that your attitude towards this project is a little special."

"Why do you say that?"

"For example, your budget requirements for other projects under the company are very strict. The budget for "Ninja Turtles" has doubled, and you didn't say anything."

Simon looked up at Nancy, nodded and said, "Well, I did value this project from the very beginning."

Nancy was dissatisfied with the answer, and asked persistently, "What else?"

Simon looked up at the woman with a strong curiosity in the slightly leaning eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Do you really want to know?"

Nancy felt the gaze of the little man opposite, and suddenly understood something, and instinctively shook her head: "I don't want to!"

Simon turned his attention back to the script in front of him and said, "Then go back to rest early."

Nancy paused, but didn't get up. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "You're not afraid that one day, um, will you suffer a loss?"

Simon shook his head: "Not afraid."

Nancy heard him say that, remembered Janet's name for a guy in private, and muttered something. Without saying hello, he got up and left Simon's office.

When she came to the outside world, and saw that Jennifer was still dutifully guarding her desk, Nancy felt some dissatisfaction for no reason, stepped forward and said, "Jenny, do you want to go to dinner together?"

Jennifer was a little surprised by Nancy's sudden invitation, and declined: "I still have something to talk to Simon."

Nancy came to the female assistant's table and said, "Tell him now, I'll wait for you."

Jennifer just shook her head again.

Watching Nancy leave doubtfully, Jennifer sorted out the documents on the desk, got up and knocked on the door and walked into Simon's office, saying, "Just now, there was a call from Santa Monica Airport, the plane arrived at 6 o'clock, what do you want now? Have a look at it?"

The scheduled Boeing 767-200er had been delivered a few days ago, but Simon sent the plane directly to Australia.

In my memory, there are many news of private jets being bugged, and even the planes ordered by some heads of state are all oversized bugs. Simon does not trust Boeing, or even the anti-eavesdropping detection team on the US side. Janet conducts a full inspection of the plane first.

Since he returned smoothly, there should be no problem.

Raising his wrist and looking at his watch, Simon said to Jennifer, "We'll go to New York for dinner together later, and we'll stay there tonight."

Jennifer blushed slightly and said, "Fly over now, it should be one o'clock in the morning when you arrive on the east coast."

"Oh, I forgot about the jet lag," Simon thought for a while, and said, "Then go to Hawaii, and it's still evening."

Jennifer shook her head again and said, "There's no house over there. Do you want to stay in a hotel?"

Simon certainly wouldn't tell Jennifer about the last weekend she took two women to Hawaii. The female assistant is different from other women, and he didn't want to borrow an apartment from others, so he simply said: "Then on the plane, you have seen the interior design of the cabin, and it seems to be very good."

Jennifer's face was finally red, and she gave Simon a white look: "I don't want to be on the plane, you can just fly by yourself, I have to get off work."
