In the relaxed atmosphere of chatting and laughing, there were a lot of chatter and a few words, and unknowingly a story about "The Three-Body Problem" was born. When several classic theories about the Three-Body Problem were casually guided and constructed by Simon, Sylvia only felt amazing.
So simple
Of course it's not simple, but probably only a bright-eyed little girl sitting here can understand what's going on. But although the little girl is very interested in some of the statements in the story, she can't help but use her head to think about other things. , she doesn't care. Including where his father came from and where he will go.
Because of a special brain, the little girl sees the world differently from ordinary people.
Sylvia is Anthony's second child. Compared to his youngest sister Rebecca, who is only 6 years old, she was actually born in 1971 and is already 28 years old this year. When she was in college, she did not go to Britain and the United States like most of the upper-class children in Australia. Instead of studying abroad, I directly studied history at the University of Melbourne. The subject was in line with my class, and then I joined Johnston Holdings. I am currently engaged to a well-matched boyfriend who belongs to the upper class of Australia, and I plan to get married this summer.
A step-by-step life.
After such a chat, the girl unexpectedly aroused her long-suspended literary hobby. She also mentioned that she had run a literary magazine in college, and then took the initiative to ask Ying to complete the story, hoping that Simon, who was actually only three years older than her, would My uncle can make a movie.
Simon doesn't care.
I just think that this story seems to be more suitable to be filmed as a TV series. Sylvia obviously doesn't mind, as a TV series is a TV series. It just so happens that what DHO needs most is all kinds of heavyweights. In this case, things are roughly settled.
This is actually the case in Hollywood. Although tens of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars are invested at every turn, many old classics are often just a flash of inspiration in life and are not as grand as ordinary people imagine. The most typical one is "The Terminator" 》, it was just a dream.
Simon is also curious, but he just refers to some structures given by his memory. This new "Three-Body", he doesn't know what Sylvia will write it like.
Like, the beginning has changed.
During the chat, the story began in World War II. The heroine witnessed the war and killings between humans and lost her loved ones, so she lost hope in the world. Time entered the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union competed for hegemony, and secret alien research. It is discovered that there are aliens on the three stars of Centauri, which are the closest to humans, and the story unfolds.
…
After staying in Australia for another week, Simon returned to North America on January 21, because this Sunday was the 57th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
No intention of attending.
There is too much work accumulated here, and it is impossible to stay in Melbourne any longer. However, Jenny and the others will still wait until February this time before returning.
After such a long vacation, I continued to work on the weekends when I returned.
First of all, let’s focus on the end of 1999 period that has passed.
When the time came to late January, Simon paid more attention to the specific trends of movies, and there were only two movies left at the moment, one was "Chicago" and the other was "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring."
In the box office week that just passed, from January 14th to January 20th, "Chicago" was in its fourth week of release. Starting from the third week, it has been the single-week box office champion for two consecutive weeks. With its excellent reputation and continued high sales Popularity, after a slightly deepened 31% drop in the week after New Year's Day, the drop narrowed again to 19% in the fourth week, with revenue of US$22.65 million.
After four weeks of release, the cumulative box office of this musical quickly reached 140.92 million US dollars.
Although looking at the current trend, it is unlikely to hit 300 million as expected when the first weekend box office was released, but it is still worth looking forward to how far it can go after a stable 200 million. For this reason, the performance of "Chicago" in this awards season is crucial, and Gomen Pictures' attitude is that there is no room for failure.
The second place is "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".
In its sixth week of release, the first installment of "Lord of the Rings" saw a single-week decline of 29%, continuing to earn US$19.15 million, with the cumulative box office reaching US$286.56 million.
In the next two weeks at most, the local box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" will exceed 300 million. The overall volume is expected to not change much, and will still be comparable to "Cyborg 2", about 330 million to 350 million US dollars.
However, the overseas performance of this fantasy epic masterpiece is unexpectedly stronger than that of "Cyborg 2". Judging from the overseas data that has been accumulated recently, the overseas box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is likely to reach 6 The US$100 million level will push the global box office to US$900 million, or even close to US$1 billion.
In addition to the two films, "Cyborg 2" has entered the final stage with less than 10 million U.S. dollars in a single week. The total domestic box office volume is also more obvious, and the landing point will be between 330 million and 340 million U.S. dollars.
Overseas, judging from the current trend, the overseas revenue of this DC super masterpiece is probably between 500 million and 600 million US dollars, which means that the global box office is between 800 million and 900 million US dollars, which is at most unworthy. Crossing the 900 million threshold is not as good as the potential of the first "Lord of the Rings" to reach 1 billion.
After the two local blockbuster movies worth 300 million US dollars, there are "Jumanji 2" and "Cars". The trends of these two films are basically certain, both with a size of 200 million US dollars. Among them, "Cars" is slightly ahead, with an estimated local volume of between 220 million and 230 million US dollars, and "Game of the Brave 2" is slightly behind, between 210 million and 220 million US dollars.
Overseas, "Cars" is not as good as "Jumanji 2". The former's overseas volume is still about 200 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office is between 400 million and 500 million U.S. dollars, while "Jumanji 2" It is easy to break through 300 million overseas, so global expectations are also above 500 million US dollars.
Of course, in terms of box office, "Cars" not only cannot compare with the super masterpieces of the same period, but also lags behind the Pixar animated series. But speaking of peripherals, in just two months at the end of the year, and only in the United States, by the end of December, peripheral sales brought about by this 3D animation quickly exceeded 1 billion US dollars, reaching a huge US$1.17 billion. Including overseas, the film's total sales exceeded US$1.6 billion in less than two months at the end of 1999.
In short, if compared like this, other projects in the same period can only call me dad.
Because of the super sales of "Cars" peripherals, and of course, the success of films such as "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" at the end of 1999 cannot be ignored. Daenerys, who had previously only been able to chase behind Ygritte, Entertainment, in recent months, its market value has steadily suppressed the former, becoming the super giant with the highest market value among listed companies in the world.
Going forward, the total domestic box office of MGM's "Casino Royale" has been set at 161 million U.S. dollars, and it is expected to exceed 300 million overseas. The global box office is about 500 million U.S. dollars, which is considered a good performance.
Finally, there are "Alien 3" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley". Both projects unfortunately stopped outside the 100 million yuan box office threshold. The local box office of "Alien 3" is expected to be around 93 million, while "The Talented Mr. Ripley" will stay around 88 million. However, similarly, the overseas performance of both projects is stronger than that at home, and both projects are expected to have a global scale of US$200 million.
In addition to the series of films scheduled for the end of 1999, I have to mention the documentary "Everest" last September. The global distribution has been basically completed recently, including China. The documentary's box office in the United States was US$106 million, and overseas, including China's 114 million yuan, the total was approximately US$137 million. The global box office total was $243 million.
With a total investment of just over 10 million U.S. dollars, the global box office was 243 million U.S. dollars. The return on investment was more than 20 times higher than last summer's "The Ghost Story 2" which had a total investment of 25 million U.S. dollars and a global total of 276 million U.S. dollars. Therefore, it became the 1999 film of the year. The movie with the highest return rate.
The most important thing is that this is a documentary that leaves people speechless and amazed.
Finally, as of December 31, 1999, the total box office of the North American film market in the past year was US$6.73 billion, of which only films directly distributed by Daenerys Entertainment, excluding cooperative projects such as "Game of the Brave 2", The final total box office revenue reached US$3.46 billion, accounting for 51%.
The reaction of other Hollywood studios to this is currently only powerlessness and numbness. Unconsciously, everyone has become more and more accustomed to the strength of Daenerys Entertainment.
After all, it doesn’t matter if you don’t get used to it.
