"Girls of the Thunderbolt not only provided fans with a hot pink visual feast, but also left us a lot of interesting hidden details. From the whole film, we can see a completely different character and world setting from the TV series version. , it is conceivable that this is the ambitious producer's foreshadowing for the sequel."
"When the fans of the oo7 series are discussing with relish whether the black figure flying a propeller plane in the last egg of the film is the new James Bond, the gossip magazine is entangled in Penelope Cruz's Lucy Ni .Whether Baker has Electra complex, when the young geeks are busy studying the real and complex exhaustive algorithm at the end of the film, perhaps many people have overlooked a very secret detail."
"Three minutes into the film, John, the liaison played by Morgan Freeman, 'blackmails' Lucy Ni, seemingly casually saying: 'Give you a minute, drive to 1o88o Malibu, or I'll kill you and these The photos are handed over to the police together'. Later, after watching the entire film, we have not been able to see any details about the Malibu 1o88o, and there is no explanation in the film why John asked Lucy to drive the Buick to Malibu No. 1o88o, after investigation, the reality of Malibu City does not have the resident number of No. 1088o, so at first glance, this very abrupt conversation has become a redundant plot that is completely useless."
"But is this really the case? As we all know, the plot of Charlie's Angels is very rigorous, and the producer is even more meticulous in details. Even the piece of program code entered by the genius girl Jill Monroe in the final plot is said to be very strict. It was written by Steve Mitnick, the chief technology officer of Yahoo Internet Corporation. So, according to this line of thought, there is absolutely no way for a meaningless dialogue to appear in the most important opening stage of the movie."
"After many pursuits by the reporters of this magazine, we finally discovered the 'true face' of Malibu 1o88o. Perhaps many readers have noticed the eye-catching shell-shaped villa photo in the illustration in this article, and have made relevant guesses. That's right. , the so-called No. 1088o in Malibu. It is Eric Williams’ luxurious private estate in Malibu. According to the clues provided by several insiders, although the resident number of the Pointe Manor is not No. 1088o, Eric Williams Williams has referred to the Angle Manor as No. 1o88o more than once, and we have also found the most intuitive evidence. In a project document of the architectural design company that was in charge of the Angle Manor project, the "City of Liberty" villa project The code name is 1o88o."
"Let's not discuss why Selena Gartler, played by Kate Beckinsale, indulges herself in the brutal and fatal fights in the underground boxing ring, and let's not go after Selena and her former partner. What kind of changes have been encountered, these behind-the-scenes stories are likely to be the plots that may appear in the prequels or rumors. To the film. After the establishment of the new angel group, the first thing the three angels have to do is, of course, to meet My own boss, although this mysterious boss did not reveal his true face, according to this logic, the purpose of John asking Lucy to drive to the 'fictitious' 1o88o has also been explained. At least, in this film Among them, the identity of the owner of No. 1o88o is undoubtedly implying Charlie Townsend, the behind-the-scenes boss of the detective company who did not appear in the entire film. According to the "No. 1088o" that does exist in the real world, it is not difficult for us to find out. Movie Charlie Townsend, who is ubiquitous in the film, is undoubtedly the embodiment of Eric Williams in Charlie's Angels."
"Perhaps Eric Williams, who was the screenwriter of the Charlie's Angels movie version, set up this small plot just on a whim, but when we turn our attention to today's Hollywood, many people will be surprised to find that six years ago, with Home Alone is a blockbuster young boy, like Charlie Townsend who is ubiquitous in Charlie's Angels, his influence spreads over half of Hollywood, and this influence is even more vividly displayed in this year's summer film."
"Since the end of May, all the box-office successful films that have been released, Saving Private Ryan, True Lies, The Lion King, and Charlie's Angels, whether they are produced and produced by Firefly Group or not, have more or less brought Eric Eric Williams' personal imprint. The upcoming Dumb and Dumber 2 and Men in Black, the two final summer films, are also written by Eric Williams. The personal influence of this new Hollywood tycoon The power has covered Firefly, MGM, Columbia and Fox among the seven major film companies, and the influence of this kind of terror has almost surpassed any film tycoon in Hollywood's century-old history. Because this miraculous young tycoon is currently With an age advantage of less than twenty-five years old, it is not difficult for us to make a hypothesis. Maybe one day in the future, Eric Williams will completely unify Hollywood and become the veritable king of Hollywood."
Eric put this article that had been reprinted by many newspapers just two days after it appeared on his desk, shook his head and smiled, and continued to read other materials.
After a week of screenings, Charlie's Angels easily won a box office of more than 49 million US dollars. Although this box office can't compare with the previous weeks of the Mummy, Saving Private Ryan and other films, the hot topic created by this female action blockbuster is far more than the few hit films of last month.
The reason why the box office of Charlie's Angels is low is not that the summer boom has passed, and it is definitely not affected by factors such as film scheduling or film quality. Just as Buffett said at the screening that he did not understand some plots, because the film involves many things that make the elderly and The high-tech plot that children can't understand, Charlie's Angels did not attract audiences of all ages, but it is these cool high-tech plots that make the main audience of this movie gather between 14 and 28 years old youth audience group, and has created an unusual influence in this group.
Moreover, because of the high word-of-mouth and hot topics, the box office of Charlie's Angels on the second Sunday not only did not slip compared to the first week, but instead appeared the first box office drop in the summer of 1994. The box office statistics agency predicts that Charlie's Angels will The next week's box office is likely to exceed 50 million US dollars, and there is almost no difficulty in breaking through 100 million in two weeks.
Charlie's Angels is also very popular in some overseas box office markets that were released at the same time as North America, especially in Japan, which was released at the same time. Let a large number of Japanese manga otaku boil. The film's week in Japan even approached North America, reaching $46 million. Among the Charlie's Angels peripherals that were subsequently put on sale in Japan, several of Selena's live-action figures were continuously out of stock. In just one week, Kate, who was originally unknown, became the most popular Western actress in Japan. A large number of cooperation and endorsement invitations have flown to ibsp; relying on the outstanding performance of Charlie's Angels, MGM has finally escaped from the brink of bankruptcy. European investors, who are expected to receive huge rewards, are also rejoicing. After Charlie's Angels' weekly box office was released, the two parties couldn't wait to contact Eric, hoping to start preparations for the sequel as soon as possible.
at the same time. Two other companies that have absolutely nothing to do with the film industry have also reaped unexpected benefits.
The film was released for a week, and because of the strong advertising effect of the film, Yahoo's online mailbox users increased by 1.1 million within seven days. These users are basically new Internet users with very high gold content. The average number of daily visits to Yahoo's portal has also risen sharply in a short period of time.
On July 1st, the instant messaging software yr officially launched by Yahoo Networks reached a terrifying exponential growth rate. The number has exceeded 1 million. Although it has made sufficient estimates and preparations in advance, this time Yahoo still failed to withstand the huge data flow pressure brought about by the skyrocketing number of yr users. On the evening of July 5th, there was a short-term server downtime. machine event. Although it is unavoidable to be ridiculed by several high-tech giants who are competing for the title of "the world's largest data processing center", it does not stop users' enthusiasm for using it at all.
Another company that has benefited is undoubtedly Buick Motor Company.
The Buick sedan, which was originally focused on business models and not very popular with young people, more than doubled its sales within a week of the release of Charlie's Angels. Except for the Buick Boulevard that appeared many times in the movie, other Buick cars The sales of several models have increased significantly. With the influence brought by Charlie's Angels, Buick has not only opened up the young consumer market that has not made progress, but it is also expected that the sales of cars in the second half of 1994 will increase by at least %.
It is worth mentioning that Buick is different from Lamborghini and Ferrari, which can only sell a few thousand units a year. In the 1980s, the global sales volume of this mid-range brand under the General Motors Group exceeded 1 million units, and the annual sales reached tens of billions of dollars. Therefore, it is conceivable that the 10% increase in performance will bring huge additional benefits to Buick. profit.
At first. Buick only reluctantly paid 5 million for the implant because of the line "Don't you think Buick's 'Three Shields' logo is cool" that was specially added in the movie. But after the film was released, the president of Buick immediately contacted MGM in charge of the film business in person, saying that he would spend an additional 20 million US dollars for joint promotion with the film. In the past, only the oo7 series could enjoy this kind of treatment. Buick's competitors, Ford, Chevrolet, and even Japan's Toyota, Honda and other car brands also contacted the producers one after another, trying to win the exclusive brand implantation rights for the sequel to Charlie's Angels.
The sound of knocking on the office door woke Eric up from the trance of reading materials. With a promise, the door was gently pushed open. Eric watched the female assistant in a professional suit walk in, smiled and raised the Hollywood Reporter that he had just read, and asked with a smile: "Kelly, Do you think I can unify Hollywood?"
"From the perspective of the anti-monopoly law, this is impossible," Kelly came to sit down opposite Eric with a stack of documents, and said, "But from the perspective of miracles, it is not necessarily so. Woolen cloth."
Eric said: "I can hear it. You must be praising me with these words, rather than using me as a tree target like this article, right?"
Kelly showed a feminine and intellectual smile, and said: "Yes, but this article also helped Firefly a lot. According to the forecast of the financial department, because of the merger of ab, the group's financial report for the first half of the year needs to be postponed until the beginning of next month. It's out. The appearance of this article has the same boost as the beautiful financial report. The impact caused by the reform of the hand-drawn animation department is now minimal, and all the sales of long-term bonds are expected to be completed before the end of the month. "
Eric asked: "Speaking of this, is there any movement between Peter Schneider and Roy Disney?"
"I came here to tell you about this," Kelly handed Eric a document in her hand, and said, "This is their condition."
Eric opened the file and browsed through it briefly. In addition to a series of expected requirements such as a substantial increase in the salary of the hand-drawn animation department staff and the department's budget, Peter Schneider and Roy Disney also requested to build a Disney animation comparable to Pixar. Work park, and enjoy the same power to operate independently as Pixar.
After closing the document, Eric said with a slight sarcasm on his face, "The salary of the employees will be doubled if they open their mouths. They have no intention of letting this matter end immediately."
Kelly replied: "Since they chose to join hands with Ron Perelman, Ron Perelman also needs enough time to unite creditors."
"It just so happens that we also need enough time to make arrangements," Eric said with a sudden smile, "In this regard, they can be regarded as the last contribution to Firefly."
Kelly felt a little sad for Peter Schneider and Roy Disney, especially Peter Schneider, the high-level animation department's ability is actually good, if the department reform is carried out according to Eric's plan, maybe in the future Opportunity to gain a higher position within the Firefly system. But now, even if the hand-drawn animation department finds a new owner, once his behavior of eating inside and out is exposed today, he will definitely be kicked out by the new owner, and Firefly has absolutely no obligation to hide this matter for Peter Schneider.
ps: There are still two updates, and the next update will be later.
