Simon returned to Los Angeles on November 6, which was already Friday.

Tomorrow is the official day of the Victoria's Secret show.

In the past few days, the main development plans for next year have been finalized, mainly the further deepening of core products.

In order to increase the recognition of the product, after Amazon, Igreit will officially launch the two sub-brands of 'Google' and 'Facebook' that have been registered.

Google is naturally involved in the search engine business.

With the exponential growth of Internet sites, a substantial increase in the content of cyberspace, the role of search engines has become more and more obvious, coupled with the special attention of Simon himself, this network tool has been specially divided.

The upcoming latest IE browser will also add a dedicated Google search box next to the address bar.

Another Facebook is also a social networking business.

Of course, the new version of Facebook is definitely different from the one in Simon’s memory. Considering the current network environment, the Facebook business that will be developed separately is more inclined to the Weibo in Simon’s memory, mainly using celebrities and superstars as traffic guides.

Simon also proposed an auxiliary plan for the Igreit Portal to create a group of 'net celebrities' in person.

Relying on the resources of the entire Westeros system, it is also easy to do this.

In addition, the personal homepage and micro-blog, which were already split, will be further differentiated into two products with the establishment of the Facebook sub-brand.

The personal homepage will gradually develop into a personal column, mainly providing information and content for the Igreit portal.

As for Facebook, the core is naturally social.

In addition to Google and Facebook, Amazon's e-commerce business will also start to expand further, with two businesses expected to increase videotape sales and movie merchandise sales early next year.

Video tapes and movie peripherals clearly compete with Blockbuster, but Simon has not stopped this competition from happening.

Amazon's business expansion is a necessity.

At this stage, in addition to books, video tapes with relatively fixed formats are also very suitable for sale through online platforms.

Around the movie, it is supported by the resources of the Westeros system in Hollywood.

If Amazon gives up these two businesses because of the competition with Blockbuster, it is inevitable that other competitors will not appear in the future.

Simon very much recognizes a business philosophy of Jobs in memory: it is better to eliminate yourself than to be eliminated by others.

Many old-fashioned corporate giants just can't eliminate themselves by themselves, and then they will be wiped out.

The most typical example is Blockbuster, which was originally on the timeline. In order to avoid the erosion of offline leasing business, Blockbuster even voluntarily gave up the opportunity to develop online business and eventually went bankrupt.

Netflix is ​​just the opposite of Blockbuster. After securing the top spot in online rental, Netflix is ​​not as self-sufficient as Blockbuster. Realizing the industry trend of streaming media, Netflix executives disregarded that the streaming media business may seriously impact physical online leasing, and decisively transformed, and eventually became a media giant alongside Disney.

Therefore, for the competition between Amazon and Blockbuster, as long as the two sides do not engage in a price war that hurts both sides or adopt other unpopular means, Simon does not intend to interfere, and actually has an attitude of encouragement.

The Internet industry is rapidly exploding, because the lead will slow down and the result will only be surpassed.

The competitive landscape between Amazon and Blockbuster is also more able to urge both parties to develop rapidly in various aspects such as operations and technology, so as to avoid slack.

Carol Bartz is responsible for the Internet basic service-related business, and the focus of development next year is still cloud computing.

Although it has been successfully applied to support various products of Igreat Portal, there is still a lot of room for improvement in cloud computing technology.

The next goal of the cloud computing technical team of Igreit is to further get rid of server equipment suppliers such as IBM in terms of hardware, directly purchase chips, hard disks and other equipment from the lowest-level hardware manufacturers such as Intel and Seagate, and design and assemble proprietary equipment by themselves. In this way, the construction cost of the data center can be greatly reduced, and Igreat can also obtain more permissions at the server level, which is convenient to design the software system that best meets its own needs.

The presidential election clearly had an impact on the North American box office for the week of Oct. 30 to Nov. 5.

However, in the first week of the painting, Daenerys Entertainment's "Midnight Bell" still achieved very eye-catching box office results. It earned 28.79 million US dollars in seven days, with an average of 12,000 US dollars in the hall, reaching the top selling level. .

In comparison, the horror film "Sugar Man" launched by Samsung, a subsidiary of Colombia, which opened at the same time, only made $5.19 million at the box office in its first week. This evil spirit killing human movie, which tries to follow the trend of the "Monster Street" series, is not a box office fiasco. , but it did not meet the studio's expectations, and the total North American box office is expected to be around $10 million.

On November 6, there was only one new film in North American theaters, the hijacking crime action film "Passenger 57" produced by Warner Bros. The film starred Wesley Snipes, which is the original timeline starring "Passenger 57". The black movie star of the Blade series. Basically, although the scene is moved to an airplane, the film is clearly based on Bruce Willis' "Die Hard" series.

Simon doesn't have much information about "Passenger 57" in his memory, and he is still concerned about "Midnight Bell".

The Japanese version of "Midnight Bell" on the original timeline is a phenomenon-level movie in Japan. This time, the Japanese version was skipped and the American version was directly developed. Although Simon adopted the plot structure of the American version in his memory, the camera, soundtrack, etc. On the one hand, it is more inclined to refer to the Japanese version. Therefore, the scene where the evil spirit emerges from the TV has also become a classic horror scene in the hearts of many viewers for a while.

The first week of 28.79 million US dollars, in line with the film's reputation, the new version of "Midnight Bell", breaking 100 million is easy, as for how high it can go, it depends on the follow-up box office curve.

The Japanese have always dreamed of entering North America in all aspects. The "Midnight Bell" adapted from the Japanese novel was a big hit at the box office, and it also caused a wave of public opinion in Japan for a while. Daenerys Entertainment originally had the opportunity to release "Midnight Bell" at the same time in Japan, after all, this is a film adapted from a Japanese novel.

However, what is needed is the "pride" of the Japanese after the success of the film. Therefore, the distribution team decided to wait for the release of "Midnight" before releasing it in Japan.

The North American market has always been closed, and there are only a handful of Japanese movies that can sell well in North America. In the original plan, as long as the North American box office of "Midnight Bell" can exceed 50 million US dollars, it is enough to attract strong attention from the Japanese market. Now, the North American box office of the film is expected to exceed 100 million, and even squeeze into the top ten of the North American annual box office rankings. Then, the next big sales in Japan can be expected even more.

The theme park team that is designing Universal Studios Osaka decided to add "Sadako" to the haunted house attractions of Universal Studios Osaka after the box office of "Midnight Bell" was released in the first weekend.

Simon had been informed of the box office information of "Midnight Bell" in advance, and when he returned to Los Angeles, he went directly to the Dorothy Chandler Theater in the city center.

The Victoria's Secret show will be held tomorrow night, and today happens to be the last rehearsal.

Not only Simon, ltd chairman Leslie Wexner, Victoria's Secret CEO Grace Nichols and other high-level executives also came to watch the rehearsal.

The interior of the Chandler Theater has already been transformed into a show field with a 20-meter-long runway, which is mainly distributed on both sides of the runway. The lights, camera positions and even some sets that match each subject have also been set up in the theater hall.

Of course, what attracted everyone's attention the most was a group of 'big goblins' who were ready to go.

People who have seen the final shape of the Victoria's Secret Angel under the guidance of Simon, almost always have one thought in their minds: stunning.

In the original time and space, the first few catwalks of Victoria's Secret in the 1990s can only be described as slag. come out.

This time, Simon directly raised the Victoria's Secret show to the level of maturity after 2000.

Gorgeous lingerie, stunning looks, colorful wings and some of the top models in fashion.

Of course, in the final analysis, it is still the effect after the $10 million is thrown out.

Backstage at the theater, this big show is related to his future in Hollywood. There is a large group of waist essences who can only watch but not eat. Michael Bay, who has been working hard for this big show in the past few months, has shown a bit of his future. The tyrant's breath, loudly instructing the various units to start waiting for the headset, when the assistant director personally said that he could start, Michael Bay, who was standing behind a whole row of real-time monitors in the background, shouted to start.

Music plays.

Until the last moment, for the sake of confidentiality, the music is still only in the form of soundtrack.

However, everyone also knows that the first-hand very hot song is called "angels", and the theme name: psychedelic angels.

Simon put the "angels" of the vicetone combination in his memory at the beginning, instead of the "paradise", mainly to ignite the atmosphere of the scene for the first time by relying on this very rhythmic dance song.

For this big show, the expectations of the outside world have reached the highest level.

If the opening does not mobilize the audience's long-awaited emotions, the final effect of the big show will hardly be perfect.

In the hall, there were only a few people in the stands, including Simon, Wexner, and Grace Nichols. When the music remembered, the people who were talking stopped talking and looked towards the runway together.

In the dynamic opening music, the lights are also dominated by warm red.

Psychedelic angel, the theme is not the white in people's inherent impression, but the luxurious gold.

Cindy Crawford was the first to step onto the stage as the opening angel.

White underwear, gold accessories, and a white feather-like wing attached to both arms.

For angel wings, Simon also did not simply adopt the wing shape that people have inherently impressed. Cindy Crawford's opening dress is actually the shape of Gisele Bundchen, the opening of the 2006 Victoria's Secret show in Simon's memory. The whole is like a proud and wild golden angel.

Different from the elegant steps common to models of this era, Cindy followed the rhythm of the music, and also walked out of scissor steps with a sense of power and rhythm.

The first theme, the angel costume design draft originally finalized by Simon himself is only Cindy's set, and the rest are played by the designers of Victoria's Secret. However, when Naja Allman joined, Simon was inspired by the golden style design of Naja Allman in a catwalk similar to the Nordic goddess in memory, and he personally caught the second set.

When the shape is different from the one in memory, Naja Allman's angel outfit adopts a hollow design, which can reveal the Victoria's Secret brand underwear. This is a must, but for the audience, the most impressive one must be the

The girl's two crazy long legs.

When Naja Allman appeared in the second half of the theme, even Leslie Wexner, who was next to Simon, couldn't help but look bright. Thinking of the 'legs' of the young people beside him, Wex Nai immediately dismissed some thoughts, but said to Simon with envy: "This girl is the last to join, I think it's very good?"

Simon explained: "It's just that this angel outfit is amazing and fits the theme very well. Naja's own style is still high fashion, lacking the soft feeling that the Victoria's Secret show needs."

Leslie Wexner disagreed slightly and said with a smile: "I think this angel outfit will definitely become the most memorable one for the audience in this big show."

Simon nodded to this too.

At the same time next year, it is mainly the perfect combination of the model himself and the angel outfit that produces this amazing effect. If a model is changed to wear this outfit, or Naja Allman and another angel outfit are replaced, probably all It's not easy to get to that point.

The generation of classics is often an accidental combination of many factors.

The first theme ended quickly and everything went smoothly and perfectly.

After a short break, the second theme started quickly.

Heavenly love.

The theme song is naturally the ethereal and resentful "paradise".

The first song is explosive, the second song is soothing, and each one is relaxing.

Moreover, although there is no very strong sense of rhythm like "angels", the overall tune of "paradise" is still very suitable for the atmosphere of the show, suitable for models to step on.

Five themes, five openings, and one chance for each of the five Victoria's Secret Angel spokespersons.

This time it opens with Stephanie Seymour.

Speaking of which, the opening and closing scenes are actually a reflection of the reputation and status of models in the fashion circle.

This time, the five themes, five opening and closing sessions, especially the opening of the first theme and the closing of the fifth theme, have experienced a lot of open and secret battles. In order to prevent a group of goblins from tearing too much, in the end, Simon himself came forward and lined up 10 opening and closing spots.

The second theme, the biggest feature is crystals and sequins, along with the background of the lights, giving the audience a sense of heavenly fantasy.

In the audience, just after reading these two themes, Leslie Wexner has already confirmed that the big show to be held tomorrow night will be a brand watershed-level success for Victoria's Secret.
