At this time, after listening to Eric's active mention of the two bets on Oscar last time, Jodie couldn't help but say: "However, I suddenly feel like it seems that instead I owe you a promise."
"Since you think so," Eric hits the snake with a stick: "Otherwise, wait and invite me to dinner."
"Okay," Jodie nodded happily and said, "Let's go to the movies together after dinner."
Eric is more refreshing: "No problem."
Jodie continued: "You will send me home after watching the movie."
Eric was flattered: "Okay."
Jodie's pretty heroic Western-style Danfeng eyes bruised Eric with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You want to be beautiful."
Eric's expression is very hurt, said: "Eh, Jodie, you are not so good."
Jodie has no meaning of regret, and still smiled and said, "Who makes you think of me, boy."
"Did you know, Jodie," Eric's expression is serious, saying: "From a psychological perspective, the name of the little boy means that you are subconsciously worried that you cannot stop the attraction of a certain opposite sex, so you deliberately use a self A defensive title that thinks you can distance yourself from each other. But in fact, it is likely to only have a counter-productive effect. "
Jodie leaned on the table with one hand to support his chin and listened with a smile, said: "Although I think you are bullshit, but it seems very reasonable."
Eric persuaded: "You should be more confident and have the courage to admit your mental state."
"Okay, don't listen to you talking nonsense," Jodie smiled and took out a stack of manuscripts from the satchel and handed it over: "This is the first draft of the novel version of" Gravity "I wrote, although only half finished, but I still want you to check it out first. "
Eric heard Jodie talk about the business, and no longer joke, took over the stack of manuscripts and said: "Then I finished reading this weekend, I will reply to you on Monday."
"Don't be so anxious, you can finish reading it anytime," Jodie waved her hand and got up: "So, I'm going first."
Eric also got up and sent Jodie away, and then returned to the workbench again to continue to complete today's work log.
Saturday morning, the sun is still unique to California.
Although there are similar work schedules today, you do n’t have to hurry like a workday.
Cliff Peak Manor, Eric get up on time at seven o'clock, sit in the restaurant to read today's newspaper after routine exercise, and there is an open laptop on the table. The slim figure of the twins was quiet and busy in the kitchen. The girl went crazy late last night and came back late at night. She usually relied on the bed and didn't plan to get up until noon.
Today is the third Saturday of the release of "Charlie's Angels3". The laptop shows the detailed Box Office data of the movie in the most recent period.
After the record-breaking 95.9 million USD Box Office in the first weekend, Box Office in the first week of "Charlie's Angels3" finally reached 100 million30.43 million USD, continuing to refresh the Box Office record in all aspects of the Hollywood movie.
Subsequently, the Box Office in the second week of the film did not disappoint. The next week ’s decline remained at a very good 43%, and it closed at 74.34 million USD. The sum of Box Office in two weeks reached 200 million and 4.77 million. Zhou Po 200 million feat.
From the perspective of Box Office on Friday, the third week of yesterday, "Charlie's Angels3" fell 49% compared with last Friday, and Box Office closed another 8.46 million USD in a single day.
Considering the release of another A-level production "Scorpion King" this week, this drop of nearly 50% is not disappointing.
In the memory of Eric, the former "Scorpion King" can only be regarded as the upper middle cost, and Box Office does not seem to be excellent. But this time, under the ambition of Universal to create the The Mummy mythological universe, this new "The Mummy" series of derivative movies reached 90 million USD only at the cost of production.
After the large-scale release yesterday, "Scorpion King" received good reviews for both stories and special effects. The film's midnight show plus the first day, the total Box Office also reached 21.86 million USD, according to the word of mouth and opening Box Office of "Scorpion King", Box Office in the first week is expected to break through 80 million USD.
This data is naturally not comparable to "Charlie's Angels3", but as a derivative series of first part, this score is already very good, but North America Box Office, Universal may recover all the production costs.
In this case, the impact of "Charlie's Angels3" is almost inevitable, and the drop does not exceed 50%, which has already proved the popularity of this special feature film universe. Moreover, in the case of breaking 200 million in two weeks, "Charlie's Angels3" has firmly locked the 1998 first part North America Box Office movie that is expected to break through 300 million USD.
Considering the second half of the summer season and the end of the year, except for "Mission: Impossible3", which belongs to the Metro Goldwyn Mayer agent film universe, without other super dark horses, "Charlie's Angels3" is definitely the most powerful competition for the North America annual Box Office championship in 1998 By.
Overseas, among the major ticket warehouse countries that have achieved simultaneous release, the overseas Box Office of "Charlie's Angels3" in two weeks also broke through 260 million USD. Among them, several important overseas ticket warehouses such as Japan and Italy have not yet been released.
Comprehensive information of all aspects, the overseas Box Office of Charlie's Angels3 is conservatively estimated to be twice that of North America Box Office, that is to say, "Charlie's Angels3" is very promising to hit the global Box Office 1 billion USD mark again, becoming a Metro Goldwyn Mayer special film universe second part global Box Office 1 billion level .
Last year's "Casino Royale" Box Office became red, making the market value of Metro Goldwyn Mayer, which has been quiet for many years in Hollywood, break through the 10 billion USD mark.
In the context of the overall rise of the North America stock market, along with the further success of the Metro Goldwyn Mayer special agent movie universe and the rapid development of the Metro Goldwyn Mayer TV business, according to yesterday ’s closing price, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer share price has rushed to a high of 51.37USD and the market value reached 22.3 billion USD.
A few years ago, on the verge of bankruptcy, Metro Goldwyn Mayer may be dumped at any time from the ranks of Hollywood big producers. At this time, if it is alone in the film and television media business, its strength has far exceeded the Sony Film Industry that used to be in the same position in the last place. This year's expectations Profits can be ranked in the first three ranks of the big Film Studio.
While sitting at the dining table and casually looking at today's newspaper, Eric has begun to consider the further expansion of Metro Goldwyn Mayer.
In terms of film and television, the biggest shortcoming of Metro Goldwyn Mayer should be the limitation of the scale of film production and distribution.
Although there are two super blockbusters "Charlie's Angels3" and "Mission: Impossible3" this year, there are only nine film production and distribution plans for Metro Goldwyn Mayer throughout 1998. "Charlie's Angels3" and "Mission: Impossible3" even booked more than 80% of the Box Office share of the Metro Goldwyn Mayer Film Industry business throughout the year.
Although the Agent Movie Universe project has entered its most prosperous stage, it is actually in crisis. The most obvious is that the three series have already begun to face the test of the Hollywood trilogy.
Although Eric passed the threshold of the 007 series through strong means last year, now, with the increasing importance of the agent movie universe to Metro Goldwyn Mayer, he can no longer easily use the last year's approach that is close to Drastic Move.
If you want Metro Goldwyn Mayer to reduce its dependence on the agent movie universe, you must enhance the overall film production and distribution capabilities of Metro Goldwyn Mayer. In this way, even if the agent movie universe changes, Metro Goldwyn Mayer will not suddenly fall from the peak to the bottom.
Like this year ’s Firefly, although the entire Firefly Group has only this heavy-weight special effects blockbuster "The Day After Tomorrow" this year, due to Firefly Pictures, Disney Film Industry and the new line Film Industry, the total film production and distribution scale is very impressive, and the previous years Firefly The series of Box Office blockbuster follow-up video tapes and TV broadcast rights and other peripheral revenue, Firefly Group's revenue from the film and television business this year is still able to sit steadily in the top spot of Hollywood.
The twins brought breakfast, Eric temporarily stopped thinking about these things, eating breakfast, and waiting for the twins to sit opposite, asking: "Where did you go yesterday, so crazy?"
Natasha looked up and said: "party hosted by Miss Paltrow, in order to celebrate the success of" The Fast and the Furious "."
Eric nodded and said nothing more, just told him: "Don't you drink on these party, take care of her."
Natasha responded softly, saying: "Master, we never drink alcohol."
"Well, this is a good habit," Eric said: "So what do you usually like to do?"
Natasha was startled, and said: "Boss lets us do whatever we want."
Eric thought about it carefully. It seems that I really do n’t find any special hobbies in twins. The twins look like a girl ’s shadow: "Well, do n’t you think about what to do in the future, for example, marrying something? "
The clear blue eyes of Natasha came over and suddenly asked: "Master, do you want us to marry someone?"
Eric froze for a while, suddenly smiled and shook his head: "No, this is not right, you usually don't say anything."
Natasha did not respond to Eric, but asked again: "Master, do you want us to marry someone?"
Listening to Natasha ’s completely uncharacteristic words, while Eric was amazed, he simply broke the can and broke, saying, “Of course I do n’t want to, both of you are mine, and neither one is allowed to run.”
"Well," Natasha responded, as if the conversation hadn't happened just now, and then resumed the usual cold and faint expression, reaching down slightly and starting to eat in silence.
Eric stared at the two girls on the opposite side for a few seconds, and suddenly gave birth to a feeling that he had just experienced a supernatural event. He couldn't help but asked again: "Nata, do you remember what you just said? "
Natasha raised his face again, nodded slightly, and looked at Eric: "Master, if you want, you can take us out for the night, but we can't be together, only one at a time."
There can only be one at a time, so how can you take advantage of the twins.
Eric thought to himself, and looked at Eve on the other side. Eve felt Eric's gaze. The exquisite face that was exactly the same as Natasha brought a little blush, but only slightly dropped his head.
Eric looked back and turned to Natasha, saying: "Well, if I must have two together?"
Natasha expression has not changed much, said: "Master, you can't beat us."
"..."
Okay, it seems that the truth is always in the hands of people with big fists.
Eric suddenly found that there were two more deeply hidden abnormal humans around him, and some strange feelings were born in my heart.
"Remember to call Drew at ten o'clock, and you can't sleep too long. In addition, in the evening of" Charlie's Angels3 "celebration feast, I passed directly from the studio, you don't have to wait for me," had breakfast before work Eric ordered the twins as usual, waiting for the twins to nod quietly, looking at the two identical faces in front of them, Eric half-jokingly said: "I'm going to work, do you want to kiss?"
Natasha nodded, but Eve blushed shyly. Two identical girls, completely different reactions, again give Eric a strange feeling.
It's just that after Eric finished, both sides stood in place for a while, no one moved, no motion, no motion.
For more than ten seconds, Eric shrugged slightly and said: "Well, I must have said something strange just now, this morning was very strange, Nà, bye."
Despite some unusual experience in the morning, Eric rushed to Firefly Studios and quickly entered working state
With Robert. Byron, the visual effects director of "Gravity", he studied the renovation work of the astronaut helmet with the glass cover removed in the morning. At noon, he agreed with Amy Pascal. He plans to discuss the next 《Charlie's Angels》 series. The open plan, of course, is mainly a matter of pay for the Charlize trio.
Generally speaking, "Charlie's Angels3" global Box Office is expected to impact global 1 billion USD Box Office, the protagonist of this series is already qualified to get 20 million USD or even higher remuneration.
It's just that they are three people in Charlize. If everyone takes a single 20 million USD, but only three of them, Metro Goldwyn Mayer will pay 60 million USD for each subsequent sequel. If the series wants to invite one or two more strong supporting actors, then, it is just a piece of pay for expenses. For Hollywood, it is enough to make an A-level movie.
Under the traditional Hollywood rules, poor cost control has always been the main reason for Hollywood big Film Studio losses. This is of course not because Hollywood lacks excellent Producer that is good at cost control, but Producer is usually such a rule. The most direct beneficiary.
The main creators of large and small who participated in the film production can make a fortune, and the sacrifices are often the interests of shareholders and investors. If Eric is just an Director, he naturally hopes to see this form of benefit distribution exist for a long time.
But now, Eric's most important identity is more inclined to shareholders and investors. He just can't let this situation continue to happen in the Firefly system.
As for the next development of 《Charlie's Angels》, Eric will not be as tough as last year in terms of pay, but it is absolutely impossible to comply with the traditional benefit distribution rules of Hollywood.
