The closest mansion on the west side of Dumeijia Manor, the villa is a three-story three-dimensional modern-style building. The main body of the white building seems to be a superposition of many cubes, which is full of modernity.

Simon walked around the villa with the female assistant. The two came to the terrace on the third floor. The female assistant leaned on the railing and looked out at the sea. Simon hugged her waist naturally and asked, "How is it?"

"Very good," the female assistant turned her face to the side and posted with Simon, and pointed to a row of luxury houses on the west side: "You bought all these?"

"Yeah, how's it going?"

Jennifer said: "In recent years, there has always been a lot of media criticism of your extravagance."

"I don't care what other people say, I just do what I want to do."

The female assistant didn't really care, and she didn't even persuade Simon that he should restrain himself or use the money for public welfare. From the first meeting, she became the mother of his child at this time, and unknowingly, so many years passed, watching him step by step, watching him create a huge business empire, she felt that she was still listening in Venice Beach. He sneaks down $10 nameless girl while he sings.

Until now, I still just want to stand silently by his side forever.

No matter what the outsider is, no matter what he does, she will always be the one on his side.

Noticing that the female assistant in her arms was looking at the east side of the bay in a trance, Simon followed and looked at the front line of the coast of Santa Monica: "What are you looking at?"

Jennifer said: "I suddenly remembered the first time I saw you."

Having said that, he remembered that he still didn't know about the videotape, and he didn't plan to let him know. He wanted to keep it a little secret in his heart forever.

Simon hugged the female assistant's waist tightly, and said with a smile, "Did you secretly fall in love with me when you first met?"

Jennifer recalled that it was actually the second time the two met, and teased a little: "You mean the guy who was sent to the hospital at that time?"

"Well, let's change the subject."

"Haha," the female assistant laughed, raised her wrist to look at the time, and said, "Let's go back, the children should wake up."

The two returned to the Shell Villa, and Lady A happened to return from the outside, and brought a pair of scrolls back.

The female assistant first went to the baby room to see the two little guys. The children were still sleeping, so she came out and admired the scroll that Alison brought back with Simon.

This is a Chinese painting.

The picture with a length of nearly three meters and a width of one meter five is a magnificent picture of ancient wars. Tens of thousands of ancient soldiers of various types fought hard on the vast battlefield, giant siege vehicles, and awe-inspiring swords. The formation, the brutal collision of cavalry, the crumbling and dilapidated city, surrounded by corpses, blood stained the setting sun outside the mountains, the right side of the banner is Cao Song's "Ji Hai Sui" written in cursive.

At first, she just asked girl A to find someone to write Cao Song's poem.

Later, I felt that the thin scroll of poetry was a little pale, so I ordered it at will, and I got this painting.

The painter's skills are very deep. The female assistant doesn't know the poems on the right side of the picture, but she can't restrain her status, which is a picture of cruel war, and feels a slight sense of suffocation. Involuntarily took Simon's arm and whispered, "I don't like this painting."

Simon patted the back of the female assistant's hand, motioned to the four girls who were carefully displaying the huge paintings, and said, "Put it away and put it in the showroom."

After speaking, he said to the female assistant, "Let's go see the child."

Jennifer finally glanced at the painting that the four of Alison were carefully rolling up, nodded, and followed Simon to the baby room. After thinking about it, she still didn't ask.

Simon didn't explain either.

On the New York side, with David Dinkins losing 41% to 59% of the vote to Rudy Giuliani in the mayoral election on Nov. 1, some things have temporarily settled.

Of course there is a sequel.

Now that he has decided to attack the entire David Dinkins' city government cabinet, Simon has no plans to stop.

The Westeros system's tendency to side with the Democrats is true, but if anyone takes it for granted or even takes any responsibility, this episode will be a clear warning.

Maybe there will be some disagreements between the two sides, and Simon doesn't care.

If Simon didn't make a tough enough layout immediately after David Dinkins suddenly turned his face, he believes that many follow-up small actions must come one after another.

In this world, too many people prefer to balance the more they are in high positions. Sometimes, this is a weak reaction in the eyes of the enemy.

Simon did not hesitate to turn his face with the Speyer family behind the Tishman gate, or even turned against the Democratic Party, which made many people realize his personality. Westeros has not turned to peace in his bones because of the increase in wealth and power, and he is still the lunatic who can knock off a few legs of others without hesitation.

Even, considering the gang rush in Bowery Bay, a certain young man seems to be a little more crazy.

For this kind of person, if there is no certainty of victory, playing with small actions will only be worth the loss.

Janet picked up the Cersei Capital thing again, and after the weekend, Simon also started working again.

While many Hollywood filmmakers are still lamenting the unexpected box office results of "Seven Deadly Sins" during the Halloween schedule, "The Lion King" once again shocked everyone this past weekend.

A 3D animated film, Daenerys Entertainment

Not only has the production cost of 60 million US dollars been invested, but the scale of publicity and distribution has also reached 30 million US dollars. Before the film was released, most media believed that Daenerys Entertainment dared to invest so much, and the key lies in the potential peripheral income of 3D animated films.

Daenerys Entertainment probably doesn't plan to make any profit at the box office anymore.

You must know that in addition to the $400 million global box office of "Toy Story" two years ago, the sales of peripheral toys for the film have exceeded $3 billion in the last two years. Counting the film's video tapes and TV broadcasts, the entire project is Daenerys Entertainment's net profit has reached $1 billion, most of which comes from peripheral toy sales.

Moreover, "Toy Story" brought more than just monetary benefits to Daenerys Entertainment. The success of this film not only broke Disney's long-term monopoly on animated films, but also drove Daenerys Entertainment. The development of the entire industry chain of its peripherals, games, theme parks, etc.

Therefore, this time, "The Lion King", in the eyes of many people, is just a further layout of Daenerys Entertainment in the whole industry chain.

According to the phenomenon of "Second Grade Curse" seen in Hollywood, whether it is a filmmaker or a studio, after the amazing first movie, the second movie produced is often not as good as before.

There are even some media predictions that the local box office of "The Lion King", which is not based on fairy tales and is based on an animal theme, is already a success. Daenerys Entertainment is likely to end up with a loss-making ending this time.

Because the "Lion King" was not regarded as a threat too much, there were as many as 6 films in the same period on November 19. Although there are three very small-scale literary award-winning films, there are also two blockbuster films scheduled for the end of the year, namely "Skinny Daddy" starring Robin Williams produced by Fox and a biography produced by Columbia Pictures. The costume epic "Gronimo".

In Simon's memory, the domestic box office of "My Little Daddy" exceeded 200 million US dollars, and it was the second-largest box office runner-up after "Jurassic Park" in the original time and space in 1993.

"Gronimo," produced by Columbia Pictures, tells the story of a hero named Gronemo who rebelled against the British ruler during the American War of Independence. The film budget reached 35 million US dollars, and the same A-level production level.

Simon didn't have much in his mind about "Gronimo," which was apparently one of Peter Cooper's expensive box-office duds. After a months-long audit, Sony finally announced a $2.5 billion write-down against Columbia Pictures.

Asset write-down is actually a loss in disguise.

The loss of 2.5 billion US dollars, although it is 200 million US dollars less than Simon's memory, must not be underestimated.

After the news was announced, Sony’s stock price has been falling for more than a month, and its market value has even returned to less than $15 billion. There are also constant rumors in the circle that Sony plans to get rid of this hot potato.

Although in the quagmire, Colombia has prepared a screen size of 1,605 for "Gronimo", and the screen size of Robin Williams' "Skinny Daddy" also reached 1,678. Less than the opening level of "The Lion King" at 2,691 pieces, in the eyes of many people, it also poses an obvious threat to "The Lion King", especially "Skinny Daddy", which is also a family-friendly film.

Daenerys Entertainment opened up on the media buzz for "The Lion King" following its November 17 premiere.

Because the media participating in the premiere was selected in advance, the first wave of media reviews of "The Lion King" were almost one-sided, and there were many soft or hard publicity on the Internet platform.

However, even if it officially opens on a large scale on Friday, many people don't think "The Lion King" will be very good at the box office.

until Saturday.

When countless media reporters and film company executives were woken up by phone calls at one or two in the morning on Saturday and saw the box office data report of the previous day, the first reaction of many people was even 'Could it be a mistake? ’

$16.33 million on the first day.

The first day.

Is this still an animation?

However, the Igreit portal responded immediately, and directly pushed the first-day box office data of "The Lion King" to the headlines of the portal homepage.

"A new record for animated film, 'The Lion King' $16.33 million on its first day."

The box office on the first day was 16.33 million US dollars. What is the concept?

It is clear to compare.

"Skinny Daddy", which was released in the same period, only had a box office of $5.31 million on the first day. Another "Gronimo", the first-day box office result is only 1.29 million US dollars, less than one-tenth of "The Lion King".

At the same time, the $16.33 million on the first day means that the box office of "The Lion King" in the first weekend is about $50 million, and the box office in the first week is expected to reach the level of $70 million.

$70 million in the first week, which is already the same level as the DC Cinematic Universe project.

Two years ago, "Toy Story" had a total box office of 211 million US dollars in North America, giving everyone a surprise. At that time, the box office in the first seven days was only 46.73 million US dollars.

Daenerys Entertainment's massive promotion of "The Lion King" has already given the film a very high profile.

Although a large part of the traditional paper media kept the news of the film's first-day box office fairly indifferent, the topic of "The Lion King" soon regained its popularity thanks to the Igreit portal and the media close to the Westeros system spared no effort to promote it. previous

steps.

Originally, both word-of-mouth and popularity were already very good. Coupled with the gimmick of breaking the box office record, "The Lion King" unknowingly attracted more media into the theater, and quickly formed a phenomenon-level movie viewing craze.

$16.33 million on the first day.

$18.29 million Saturday.

$17.31 million on Sunday.

Three days after the opening of the painting, the cumulative box office of "The Lion King" quickly reached 51.93 million US dollars.

The same new record for animated films.

In the face of the impact of "The Lion King", "Skinny Daddy", which had a good box office on the first day, ended up with only 13.76 million US dollars at the box office in the first three days of the first weekend. It is conservatively estimated that "The Lion King" also suppressed the box office of at least 2 million US dollars.

Simon is more aware that this kind of suppression spans two major periods throughout the end of the year.

The target group of "Skinny Daddy" is the same as that of "The Lion King", and they are all family-friendly audiences. This time, with the better choice of "The Lion King", the box office of "Skinny Daddy" will inevitably shrink significantly.

No matter how hard the traditional media try to provoke some controversy, attacking "The Lion King" as imitating Disney's style, scolding the film for its implicit racial discrimination, etc., can not stop this phenomenal 3D animation film.

In the end, in the first seven days from November 19 to November 25, the cumulative box office of "The Lion King" reached 70.31 million U.S. dollars, second only to "Jurassic Park"'s 72.17 million U.S. dollars in the first week and "The Flash" in its first week. The $72.86 million box office and the six films of "Wonder Woman", "Superman", "Batman: Hour of War" and "Batman: The Dark Knight" ranked seventh in the first week of North American film history.

The DC movie universe has been classified as another dimension film by Hollywood, and "Jurassic Park" has also brought too much visual shock to the audience. The success of these films can be regarded as traceable.

As a cartoon, it can only be described as a miracle by being able to juxtapose with a dry phenomenon-level movie.

With the big box office sales of "The Lion King", Daenerys Entertainment's increasingly perfect peripheral sales channels have also quickly brought to the market toys, posters, clothing and other products related to the film, and the first week of preliminary statistics has reached 2 The $100 million level is ultimately due to the type of subject matter. This achievement is not as good as the "Toy Story" with more peripheral products, but at this time, no one dares to question the commercial prospects of "The Lion King".

In addition, after the first week of box office release, the video games and theme park projects related to "The Lion King" have all been green-lit to enter the early stage of planning.
