The environment of Los Angeles is difficult to make people feel the climate change. When Eric arrived at New York, the city had fallen into the second snow of this year. The Eath Hampton town in Long Island was covered by a thick layer of white snow Covered, coupled with the sparsely populated reason, looks extremely deserted.
However, in addition to being cold, this environment is also suitable for two women to live in. After all, neither Virginia nor Joanna want to suddenly get up one day and see the news of their pregnancy appearing on newspaper.
The two women were obviously bored, and they were very happy to see that Eric was able to rush to Thanksgiving with them. Although it is winter now, you just need to wrap yourself tightly to go out. This dress will not appear too awkward in cold weather, but in order to avoid the possibility of being discovered, the number of outings of the two women is still very few. Fortunately, fortunately, this mansion rented temporarily is not small, so that people have enough activity space.
There are still four days left before Thanksgiving. After lunch at noon, Virginia took his sternness and took his assistant to go out to purchase for the festival. Eric intended to go with them, but was left by the woman on the grounds that the goal was too big. Eric had no choice but to tell her carefully before letting the woman go out.
Although it was noon, the weather was still cold, and the gray clouds were low on the top of the head. There seemed to be signs of snow again. After Eric sent Virginia away, he walked with Joanna in the house for a while to breathe in the fresh air. Soon he got into the fully heated room.
"Are you going to the study with me?" Eric asked Joanna to hang the trench coat.
Although I left Los Angeles, Eric will receive some information from Los Angeles at this time every afternoon. Because of the time difference, Los Angeles is still more than nine o'clock at this time, which is just working time.
Joanna nodded and smiled quietly: "Okay."
Eric walked into the study room with Joanna, pulled a chair and let Joanna sit down at the desk, poured a glass of boiling water for the woman and put it in front of her before turning to her seat. Take out the automatically received data from fax machine.
Joanna quietly watched Eric flipping through the documents, listening to the slight rustling of paper flipping, with a slight sense of satisfaction in his expression, and occasionally saw Eric looking up. Then he raised his lips and showed a good smile. When not working before, Joanna often spends time on housework and likes to clean all the rooms cleanly. But since pregnancy, even Virginia has often ‘condemned’ that she has become lazy, but only she herself knows how much she expects and values this child. Don't want it to appear any bad pool. During this time, the only exercise she did was walking. In addition, in the windy and beautiful weather, she let a chair sit under the eaves and hold a book in her hand. See the whole day.
After the arrival of Eric, her pastime became sitting next to him, quietly all day, this kind of heavy dependence made Virginia feel a little jealous.
Today is just Monday, two movies "The Speed" and Disney animation "Aladdin" released during the Thanksgiving of Firefly Pictures have been released for the first weekend Box Office.
The Box Office for the first three days of "The Speed" is 19million USD. It is expected to get 25 million to 28 million in the first week. Although this result is not as good as the 38 million of "Four Hundred Years" released last week, Eric is not too disappointed.
The investment in "The Speed" is only more than 30 million USD, which is 10 million less than the "Four Hundred Years", not to mention the word of mouth obtained from "The Speed" in the data compared with "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" which invested more than 60 million USD Judging from this, the Box Office decline of this movie in the next few weeks will not be too high. Before the release of another blockbuster in Christmas, it is definitely not a problem to get more than 80 million Box Office of USD, and the total Box Office can certainly break through 100 million. Although Firefly has repeatedly created the Box Office miracle with Xiaoboda, Hollywood has not yet entered the era of 100 million yuan Box Office movies walking on the streets. In 1992, Box Office was able to break through 100 million USD. It is still a sign of a very successful movie.
Opening the next "Aladdin" data, Eric frowned slightly, "Aladdin" first weekend Box Office only 9million nobody, but Eric quickly relaxed, he was not too high for "Aladdin" Looking forward, and. The Disney's Hand-Drawn Animation movie has always been silent or experienced a long period of release, accumulating a staggering total Box Office. This was the case with "Beauty and the Beast" last year. "Beauty and the Beast" has been released for nearly half a year, and has accumulated nearly Box Office of 150 million USD. The quality of "Aladdin" is no problem. Eric believes that this movie can still get out of such a Box Office curve.
However, although the total Box Office Accumulated to a fairly high level, but Disney Often the share is not too much, because the longer the release time, Disney The share obtained from the cinema line is often lower, and even in many cases the total share is only 30 Much, much lower than big Film Studio The average share level of 55% obtained from the cinema line. This is also a lot of Disney Hand-Drawn Animation The reason why they chose not to use the cinema channel to directly issue videotapes a few years ago Disney Hand-Drawn Animation 'S work The Little Mermaid "The sequel is to go directly to the video channel, and the original time and space," The Lion King "although global In range Box Office Up to 900 million USD , But in order to save issuance costs, " The Lion King "The sequel is still a video tape directly released, did not enter the cinema.
Looking at the various data of "Aladdin" in hand, Eric once again thought of 3D Animation of Pixar. The Box Office curve of "Toy Story" is no different from the Hollywood blockbuster. According to the development trend of the Hollywood film distribution rules, the saturated distribution will become more and more Coming to the mainstream, those who want to accumulate Box Office with a long-term reputation will become smaller and smaller. Although it is impossible, Eric will not pin its hopes on these extremely unlikely things. In this case It is almost a necessity to cancel the production of Disney's Hand-Drawn Animation and make 3D Animation with all our strength.
However, at the moment Disney's Hand-Drawn Animation Department is still producing "The Lion King", if next year "The Lion King" is selling like Box Office, the resistance of Eric to cancel Disney Hand-Drawn Animation will increase greatly, of course, because Disney is under its banner, this resistance will definitely not From outside, the possibility of coming from Disney management is higher.
Although Eric gets along very well with Katzenberg, it does. He also absolutely does not think that Katzenberg will do everything for him. If it is just diligent, and there is no strong independent judgment, Katzenberg cannot go to today.
What a headache!
Eric couldn't help rubbing temple(s). The Joanna sitting opposite pointed suddenly out of the window and said, "Eric, look, it's snowing again."
"Yeah," Eric turned to look out the window. Said: "Are you going to look outside? Once the snow drifts down, the weather will not be too cold."
"Okay," Joanna nodded and stood up.
Wearing thick clothes, the two came outside the villa, and a thin layer was once again accumulated on the pavement that was swept out of the yard. Snow flakes like catkins fluttered unrestrained in the air.
Joanna stretched out his hands with pink plush gloves, reached out the eaves and picked up a few snowflakes, and gently blew the little ice crystals out.
Eric looked at the sky. Thinking about when Virginia will come back, Joanna said softly: "Eric, will you make a snowman?"
"No," Eric shook his head honestly. He lived in the south of previous life. Since he had not seen a few snows since childhood, how could he make a snowman? However, looking at the faint expectation in the slender eye of Joanna, Eric Immediately said again: "But I can try."
Joanna hummed. Watching Eric walk towards the cabin where tools are not far away.
After a while, Eric took out a shovel and picked a field on the lawn in the east of the front of the villa, shoveling the snow that had not been cleared here.
Joanna allows the servant to move out the chair that he often sits on. I took another blanket and draped it over my body, sitting under the roof with a smile, watching Eric quietly.
After more than half an hour, a somewhat ugly snowman barely stood up, and Eric took carrots and two small blue oranges from the kitchen to set the snowman's eyes and nose.
"There are still hands. Hands," Joanna pointed and whispered.
Eric looked around, folded two dead branches from a bush not far away, plugged in the snowman, and clapped his hands: "Is that all right?"
Joanna looked at it with a crooked head, and said like a little girl: "Hat, don't have a hat."
"Oh, then you wait," Eric finished, walked into the house, and after a while came out with a pink straw hat and buckled it on the snowman's head.
"Oh, this hat is Vicky," Joanna said after looking at it for a moment.
Eric put down the tool, patted the snowflakes on his body, walked over, squatted down next to Joanna, took a glass of steaming water from the woman and took a few sips, laughing: "Why don't he, a hat Only, is the snowman nice? "
"Well," Joanna nodded and said, "When I was a child, Papa often made snowmen for me in winter, and I haven't spent many years in it."
Eric listened to the Joanna tone with some nostalgia, and took her hand and patted: "When the children are born, you can return to Poland to live for a while, or take them over."
"Papa Mama will not come, neither of them will speak English," Joanna shook his head.
The two were chatting in a low voice. The Chevrolet business car when Virginia was out drove into the yard. The still serious little woman got out of the car and ordered the driver and assistant to move things out Eric and Joanna beckoned: "How do you sit outside, isn't it cold?"
"Eric just made a snowman," Joanna pointed to the lawn.
Virginia looked along the fingers of Joanna and suddenly looked like a cat stepped on its tail: "Ah, my hat, my Chanel limited edition, Eric, you bastard."
The little woman shouted and threw at the ugly snowman.
The female assistant of Virginia saw Boss suddenly so excited, subconsciously followed Virginia, stretched her arms to stand ready to help at any time, Eric also stood up helplessly, afraid of the woman falling, and quickly stepped on the lawn The thick snow went over.
"My hat, Chanel limited edition," Virginia still shouted in his mouth, took off the pink straw hat from the snowman's head, and lifted up the little leather boots to kick the snowman. In a blink of an eye, the body has risen.
Eric held the woman in her arms and walked carefully under the eaves before putting it down, watching Virginia holding the hat in her arms and glaring at herself, Eric reached out and took a note in the place where the woman was fleshy: "Is the hat important or the child important?"
"Hat ..." Virginia blurted out and took a half second before taking it off: "... as important as children."
Eric looked helpless, turned around and instructed Virginia ’s assistant to move the purchase into the house, dragging the woman into the villa, and Joanna gently smiled and followed behind the two.
The Virginia was hurried to change for thick clothes, and the Eric made time to help the servant to sort out the bunch of things the woman bought.
It was n’t until the evening that the little character of Virginia was counted.
After a warm Thanksgiving with two women, Eric did not leave. Although the Thanksgiving holiday passed quickly, Eric, as Boss, had the absolute right to arrange their own holidays.
Of course, there are other things besides spending more time with two women.
After the Thanksgiving, the IE browser developed for more than half a year was finally officially released, because the main carrier of software distribution in this era still depends on the floppy disk. Although the free strategy of IE was originally determined, the company has spent so much to develop software Money, of course, it is impossible to put money back and give away free floppy disks. Therefore, the IE browser is still sold in the form of a floppy disk according to the paid software model, but the price is very low. Although the IE company will not waste money, it does not intend to make any profit from the sale of the IE software.
At the same time, the web portal interface of Yahoo has also been developed. Because there is sufficient time for technical research and development, when the Yahoo website is launched, a very convenient search function is directly attached. In order to facilitate the promotion of the website, Eric sets the homepage of all IE browsers as the Yahoo master station. However, in order not to give people a monopoly, Eric did not bind IE to the Yahoo homepage. Anyway, in this era, few people will modify the homepage. (To be continued.)
