Chapter 372 (1/2)

In the last week of September, MCA and Panasonic held a meeting again on Tuesday, September 25. As a result, they still broke up unhappily. Danilisi entertainment, which was closely watched by the media, still had no movement. The original boiling acquisition seems to have fallen into a deadlock.

After the ”Forbes” 400 U.S. rich list at the beginning of this month passed, this week, the team of westrow system re opened the preliminary preparation for the acquisition of Bell Atlantic. James Leibold also began to quietly absorb the shares of Bell Atlantic, intending to take 4.9% of the shares of Bell Atlantic ahead of the acquisition exposure.

Although Forbes magazine will publish the global rich list next month, Simon's ranking on the list is no longer in suspense, so it will not cause too much trouble.

On Denise TV, Simon's sitcom Song Fei Zheng Zhuan, which was selected by him at the beginning of the year, was officially broadcast with ABC TV network on Tuesday. ABC gave a 9:00 air time and took ”who will be a millionaire” as the lead.

After the official launch of the show, ABC announced that it would renew its subscription for the next two seasons at one time.

In terms of film, David Lynch won Cannes Palme d'Or's ”wild in my heart”, which opened on Friday with 532 screens. This film, which has been controversial from Cannes to North America, has a polarized reputation. From September 21 to September 27, the box office in the first seven days of the first week reached US $5.73 million, exceeding the sales level of US $10000, exceeding many people's expectations.

After seeing the box office data of ”my heart is wild” for three days in the first weekend, gaomen film began to deploy the screen urgently. It is estimated that the number of screens in the second week will reach about 800, and the film is also expected to hit the $20 million box office in North America. Although the distribution contract was signed, the box office in North America exceeded $20 million, and with the subsequent release of video and television rights, Denise entertainment still made a good profit.

Compared with ”my heart is wild”, the Italian director Giuseppe tonadore's new film ”journey to heaven”, which was released on September 7, failed to attract the audience in any direction after several times of screening, and finally only recovered $170000 in the North American market.

At the beginning, gaomen film invested $1 million to obtain the omni channel copyright of Tianlun tour in North America. Judging from the box office results of the cinema, the loss is inevitable.

In addition to the movie paradise cinema, which was bought by universal pictures with a lot of money at the beginning and ruined because of the wrong distribution strategy, two long films by Tony Torre failed to splash any waves in the North American market. This Italian director is doomed to be hard to win the favor of Hollywood in the future.

Except Simon, of course.

If Giuseppe tonadore's future two excellent films, the pianist at sea and the beautiful legend of Sicily, will still appear, Simon will definitely do it.

Los Angeles.

After a short day off in Seattle with his assistant, Simon returned to Hollywood for a week's work.

Learning that Simon plans to readjust the speed of DC movie universe, Warner Bros. CEO Terry Semel immediately expressed his opposition, and then Steve Ross called Simon's office.

The follow-up film plan of the first stage of DC movie universe in the plan has been the highlight of Time Warner's continuous publicity for more than half a year after the merger.

Moreover, although most investors recognize the win-win situation of Denise entertainment and Time Warner Group in the DC movie universe plan, there are also many shareholders who criticize Time Warner management for giving too many interests and initiative to Denise entertainment.

It can be imagined that once the development cycle of the first stage of the DC movie universe plan, which is planned to be five years and ten movies, is suddenly extended to seven to ten years, those shareholders who have been accusing Time Warner of making too much profits will certainly be more dissatisfied, and some investors who originally stood on the side of the management can also change their attitude.

What's more, it will certainly affect Time Warner's share price.

Now that he has made up his mind, Simon will not easily adapt his ideas.

After several disputes, Time Warner still had to compromise, because the control of the entire DC movie universe is in Simon's hands. If it's really noisy, Denise entertainment is not afraid to shelve the plan completely, but time warner can't bear the consequences.

However, Simon also made appropriate compensation.

All the remaining two places in danielis Entertainment's 10 film plan have been handed over to Warner Bros., further tying the interests of both sides together. Moreover, Simon also agreed that he would not officially disclose this adjustment to the outside world, but would unconsciously delay the plan through some excuses such as poor project preparation in the process of implementation.

Struggling to reach an agreement on this matter, Simon understands that there must be a rift in the cooperation between Denise entertainment and Time Warner Group.

However, this kind of thing is inevitable.

If danielis entertainment and the whole westrow system want to continue to expand, it is bound to damage the interests of more and more people.September 28, Friday.

In the office loft on the second floor of Denise studios, the team responsible for DC movie universe project occupies a special office area next to Denise special effects company in loft 2, where all aspects of DC movie universe planning will be produced.

Moreover, the team is stationed here, which is convenient to discuss the feasibility of various special effects scenes with danielis special effects company at any time.

A more than 70 square meter activity room in DC movie universe office area, where Simon, Amy and Semel are all present today, was used as an audition a few days ago. At this time, there are lots of actor photos on the wall, mainly involving Batman, wonder woman and flash.

The core role of Batman has long been decided and does not need to be discussed.

During this period, a series of masterpieces of wonder woman have been finalized, including famik Johnson, who plays Diana Prince, Joanna Cassidy, who plays queen Hippolyte, and Linda Hamilton, who plays queen Hippolyte's sister antiop. This week, the series of a supporting role, Steve Trevor, Ares and other roles are finally decided.

What you are discussing today is the final choice of the characters in flash.

Of course, Simon is still in charge of the final decision.

”Now that you're all right, the role of Barry Allen will be left to Jason jederick.”
