Chapter 675 (1/2)
In the new box office week on July 15, two new films will be released in North American Theaters, namely ”Romeo stained with blood” produced by daenerys Entertainment's gaomen film company and ”big league kids” produced by paramount.
Last year, working title, which produced four weddings and a funeral, murder green toe, ice blood storm, Notting Hill and other famous films, will be released Film) team is directly under danielis entertainment. Simon selected the first three projects from each other's scripts, namely four weddings and a funeral, love in my heart and blood stained Romeo.
The first two films have been released, and ”Four Weddings and a funeral” sold well at the box office after it was released on Valentine's day at the beginning of the year, and then caused a wave of film viewing around the world.
Because of the poor quality of the film, it was a complete failure to be lost in early March's love in my heart.
The last one, Romeo stained with blood, was handed over by Simon to Quentin Tarantino, who completely changed his career because of his big butterfly, as his second project after ”drowning dog”.
”Romeo stained with blood” tells the story of an FBI agent who relies on selling the hiding information of a tainted witness in exchange for black money. After another betrayal, he falls into a series of conspiracies.
Quentin took over the script which was very suitable for his personal style, and then made a lot of changes according to his own preferences.
Although the budget is only US $15 million, relying on danielis Entertainment's extensive contacts over the years, the film has also attracted a series of well-known Hollywood stars to join us for low salary or even free on the basis of the hero Gary Oldman, including Robert De Niro, who has worked closely with danielis entertainment in recent years, famik Jensen, the actress of wonder woman, and other famous actors Madonna, who likes Quentin's ”drowning dog”, and John Travolta, who was supposed to turn over this year by relying on ”vulgar novel”, all show their faces more or less in this film.
Compared with the original version of ”Romeo stained with blood”, on the first day of the painting, it got a comprehensive media score of 8.7 points in the major media in North America.
In fact, if it wasn't for the good effect of the internal trial stage, gaomen film would not have put the film on the summer file.
Although it is a non mainstream crime thriller that needs to follow the line of word-of-mouth, ”Romeo stained with blood” still has 2031 screens.
At the same time, Paramount's ”big league” is still a children's film type of ”big kid” in ”little kid at home”. It tells the story of a little boy who accidentally inherited the baseball team left by his grandfather and led the team to win the championship by using his unique wisdom.
The script is obviously trying to capture the successful experience of films such as ”flying over the future”, ”pink League” and ”kid in charge”, but it fails to do so.
The media score of 3.3 points means the birth of another summer file cannon fodder.
Paramount probably didn't expect too much from the big league, but only offered 1532 opening screens. Obviously, he has turned his expectation to Harrison Ford's new film ”burning eyebrows” which will be released next week.
Simon returned to Los Angeles and Hollywood on July 16, and the popularity of danilisi Entertainment's listing gradually faded. Many people's attention turned back to DreamWorks pictures, which is being hotly prepared by Spielberg and others, and the acquisition of Disney Pictures by Vivendi of France.
The biggest news about DreamWorks recently is undoubtedly the news that software tycoon Bill Gates has invested $500 million in his own name to join the company.
Since the initial dissatisfaction in the IE browser pre installation cooperation, Damen students increased the layout of Microsoft's Internet industry, at the same time, they constantly used various means to exclude the influence of westero system on Microsoft, and even some important board meetings deliberately forgot the representative of westero system.
Simon just looked on.
It's not a bad thing for Microsoft to go completely to the opposite side of the westero system. Of course, the premise is that students at Damen must first buy back nearly 20% of Microsoft's shares in westero system.
With the arrival of the new technology wave ahead of time, the share price of Microsoft has exceeded 50 billion US dollars. Although it is far away from the previous peak, if Damen is willing to take out 10 billion US dollars in cash to buy back the shares of Microsoft, Simon will not refuse.
Unfortunately, 10 billion dollars in cash is not available to anyone.
Even if Microsoft wants to cooperate with other companies to do so, considering that Wall Street generally thinks that technology stocks are overheated at the present stage, probably there is not much capital willing to invest to buy Microsoft's obviously ”high value” stocks.
Simon is the only one in the world who can predict how crazy technology stocks will be in the next few years.
However, US $500 million is not a lot of money for the students who have more than US $20 billion at this stage.
The software tycoon is obviously born a lot of rich people after the fame of the mind.
As for the results.Simon has proved it once in his memory.
He failed.
Disney, Vivendi and Disney high-level contact with the acquisition of news exposure, Michael Eisner for the first time denied.
However, many subsequent news have proved this point.
After Jeffrey carsenberg left, Michael owitz, who originally intended to join Disney to take over the position of president of Frank wells, began to wait and see, considering that Disney would certainly adjust its management in the future once it was acquired.
At this stage, Disney is basically a public holding company.
However, Disney's two major shareholders, the bass family in Texas and the founder Disney family, still hold 25% and 11% of the shares of Disney respectively, with a total of 36% of the shares, which can basically determine the ownership of Disney after the acquisition invitation.
Simon got the news that the Disney family expressed strong opposition to the acquisition of the business, but the bass family was not firm.
