Chapter 819 (1/2)
Outside the sacred citizen hall in downtown Los Angeles, the red carpet ceremony for Jurassic Park 2 opened at 5 p.m. on May 31.
This summer program in 1995 has a series of blockbusters such as ”red tide storm”, ”tiger gall 3”, ”ghost horse elf”, ”Apollo 13”, ”brave heart” and ”future water world”. In addition to ”future water world”, which is out of control and leads to the final investment of 175 million US dollars, other films have made great progress in terms of production budget, publicity investment and IP popularity It's not comparable to the Jurassic Park series.
The sequel directed by Michael Bay has cost 100 million US dollars. For a director who is good at saving the budget for the studio on the premise of ensuring the quality of the film, if the budget is enough, the film effect will naturally go to a higher level. Moreover, the budget for Jurassic Park 2 has reached 80 million US dollars, which is comparable to Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice at the end of the year.
With a total investment of 180 million US dollars, even for many sequels of popular series in this era, the studio often has to bear great risks and pressure, but Jurassic Park series has no worries about this.
It's just the first film in the series. In recent years, it has brought more than one billion US dollars in net income to Denise entertainment through box office, video and peripheral income.
In the current sequel, danielis entertainment is expected to get 65% of the high share from the North American Academy operators through negotiation, which also means that the North American box office of Jurassic Park 2 only needs to exceed US $275 million, and the total investment of US $180 million can be recovered only by the local cinema distribution.
The first song of Jurassic Park, released at the end of 1992, grossed 356 million US dollars at the local box office.
Although Steven Spielberg withdrew from the sequel, under Simon's personal control, Michael Bay, a commercial film director who rarely failed in the original time and space, joined the sequel. With Denise Entertainment's unremitting investment and overwhelming publicity, as long as the word-of-mouth is not particularly bad, the sequel relies on the established full name IP popularity of the series It will be very easy for the box office in North America to hit $300 million.
In fact, for several consecutive internal auditions, senior executives of danielis entertainment, invited critics and a few ordinary viewers who were lucky enough to have a preview all gave a quite positive evaluation of Jurassic Park 2. In fact, this is the reason why danielis entertainment spent $100 million on a huge publicity budget of $80 million.
In recent months, danielis Entertainment's ”Jurassic Park 2” is almost a brainwashing large-scale publicity, which has formed a subconscious in the hearts of the American public, a subconscious that ”Jurassic Park 2” belongs to this summer must see film.
As the absolute ”son” of danielis entertainment, and the powerful influence of this series is no less than that of the DC movie universe project, the premiere of Jurassic Park 2 was not only held in the sacred citizen auditorium in downtown Los Angeles, which can accommodate thousands of people, but also in many formal activities.
Starting at five o'clock, the red carpet of the premiere ceremony began to flow like water. There were a lot of celebrities in the entertainment industry and fashion industry, and the screams of the fans almost never stopped.
About 10 minutes after the red carpet ceremony, a white extended limousine stopped at the entrance of the red carpet. Cathy Hilton took her husband Richard Hilton's arm and got out of the car. She immediately felt the hot atmosphere of the scene. The screams of the fans even made the woman's heart beat faster.
Looking around, there are dense crowds on both sides of the red carpet.
Beyond the crowd, you can also see a huge one-to-one T-Rex model standing on a small square on one side. It's ferocious and shocking. It's expensive to transport everyone to downtown Los Angeles.
Perceiving her husband's slight tug, Cathy Hilton takes her eyes back from the Tyrannosaurus Rex and steps onto the red carpet with an appropriate smile.
The couple were supermodel Claudia Schiffer and her boyfriend David Copperfield, the famous magician. They are both famous, so they attracted the call and scream of fans on both sides. In contrast, the Hilton couple are not so familiar. After all, they can't put the surname ”Hilton” on them. The audience of ”New York's wife” doesn't meet many fans around, so they get much less attention.
Kathy Hilton was not disappointed.
To be able to step on the red carpet today is a kind of success for her. After her marriage, the silent 1970s actress Cathy Richards has returned to the public view again.
At the beginning, Kathy Hilton successfully married into such a wealthy family as Hilton. She thought she could live a luxurious life as a rich wife. As a result, many things are quite different from her previous imagination. Hilton family is indeed a rich family, however, the family's fame is obviously more than wealth, to put it bluntly, it is a bright shell.
Although the standard of living is much higher than that of ordinary people, in fact, the children of Richard Hilton's generation can only get hundreds of thousands of dollars of living allowance from the family trust every year. If they want more, they have to go to work by themselves, and they even don't have the family business stocks often held by many rich heirs.When Conrad Hilton died that year, all his stock assets were donated to the Hilton family foundation and other charitable organizations, except for the hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash left to his close relatives. As a result, Richard Hilton's father, Byron Hilton, filed a lawsuit for this legacy for nearly ten years.
Ultimately, only the voting rights of related stocks and a small number of stocks far lower than expected are obtained. Byron Hilton's current wealth of about 200 million dollars, even the Forbes 400 list of the rich in the United States, can't get in. What's more, although Byron Hilton did not hesitate to sue for his father's legacy for a long time, he basically gave nothing to his eight children, just like Conrad Hilton.
Therefore, in order to be more affluent these years, Cathy Hilton has to use the surname of Hilton to start a design office.
In the first half of the year, she began to guest star in ”New York wife” and signed two sequels directly after achieving good results, which is a turning point for the Hilton couple. Or, half a month ago, that night was another turning point.
After that night, at first, Cathy Hilton was a little worried that Simon westrow would get involved with her.
Even if the marriage is not as bright as she thought, Cathy Hilton is also very satisfied. Comparing her two sisters, it can make her feel superior enough. Therefore, she absolutely does not want to let the events of that night out and make changes in her life.
It's clear that Simon westrow is just playing.
Cathy Hilton is very realistic. She knows that her age does not allow her to stay with him like those young lovers of westero, and it is impossible to replace westero's marriage. It is the most wise move to keep what she has.
For more than a week, nothing happened.
It wasn't just that there wasn't a single word about that night in Manhattan. Most of all, Simon westrow never contacted them again.
Then I realized that some guy, obviously, didn't pay any attention to what happened that night, even if it was their three sisters together.
Asshole!
Aware of this, Cathy Hilton's mentality has changed.
On the other hand, her two sisters were more anxious than her. They called twice a day to see if westero had asked them again, and tried to ask for the man's contact information. God knows, how can she have the contact information of westero? For this reason, she was questioned by her two sisters and thought that she was hiding.
Until this premiere.
Before the event, the two sisters encouraged each other to see Simon westero again at the premiere or after the party. She couldn't leave the following after that day. Her initial reaction was to refuse. Unexpectedly, Kyle was in a hurry and hinted that if she didn't help, she wouldn't promise to say anything.
What can you say?
I don't want to tell my husband.
At first, Cathy Hilton was in a hurry and soon relaxed. In turn, she warned her sister that if she chewed her tongue and thought about what Simon westero would do, regardless of the power and wealth of the other party, she would be a guy who dared to organize a private army to go to Africa to kill tens of thousands of people and overthrow a country.
Of course, it is also clear that the two sisters are eating marrow and taste.
It was only one night, though westrow left early afterwards, but he was very generous to them.
Although, well, they were offended by some of the housekeeper's actions at first, then they were allowed to choose a room full of famous clothes, shoes and satchels, and finally each of them had a set of expensive jewelry gifts. Anyway, Cathy Hilton had not spent so much in all these years.
At that time, with the combination of inside and outside, a limited edition Hermes platinum bag and a set of diamond necklaces, Kathy Hilton quietly inquired and converted it, with a total value of more than $300000.
The two sisters got no worse than her.
