"Speaking of it, George has determined the Queen Amidala's Actor candidate, which happens to be known to you."
The next morning, Eric drove to the Firefly studio, from the top of Beverly Hills to Playa Vista, just after Century City, Elizabeth took the Eric hitch to work.
Before the Star Wars, due to the establishment of Anberlin Film Industry, it has been delayed until now, and it is finally confirmed that it will be turned on in April. As the publisher, this project is now solely responsible for Elizabeth. She has been busy with this matter recently, Although Fox can't get started in film production, most of the shoots in the studio is still determined to be in the Fox studio shoots. On the way to Century City, the two could not help but chat about this topic.
Eric really has no feeling for the Star Wars series, and is not very interested in whether the Heroine candidate is still Natalie · Portman. However, listening to the exciting tone of Elizabeth, she still curiously asked her: "Who?"
Elizabeth leaned towards Eric, bent her lips, and said: "Guess what, give you a hint, it is a 16-17 years old girl, you have personally discovered her into Hollywood."
Eric listened to her saying that, it has been roughly determined that the track of history is still the same as it once was.
But this is not surprising. Starting with "Léon: The Professional", Natalie · Portman is the best performer in recent years. In addition to the wonderful performances in "Léon: The Professional", Natalie also participated in the highly acclaimed 《Heat》 , "Everyone says I love you" and other videos, not to mention, she is still Jewish, this advantage is even more powerful. As one of the important symbols of United States film culture, Queen Amidala in the 《Star Wars》 series, whether intentional or unintentional, in the Hollywood where the Jews gather, this group will definitely be more inclined to promote a Jewish girl to play this role.
Though thinking about it this way, Eric guessed deliberately: "I think, um, Kirsten · Dunst?"
Elizabeth blinked, suddenly raised his eyebrows, sour: "Who is Kirsten · Dunst, how can I not know?"
"Uh," Eric subconsciously touched his nose and said: "The little girl in" Interview with the Vampire ", don't look at me with this kind of eyes, OK, I've seen her only a few times now. I do n’t know what she looks like. "
Elizabeth came to think of "Interview with the Vampire" and snorted softly, saying: "Okay, I won't let you guess. I'm not sure what woman is coming to me, it's Natalie · Portman, you were a few years ago Everyone was satisfied with the girl I met at Long Island. "
"Well, a clever little guy," Eric also nodded.
Talk casually, car entered Century City, and soon entered the Fox studio. Elizabeth subconsciously adjusted the Hermès scarf across the neck, turned to Eric, and slightly raised his chin: "Hey, can you see the trace?"
Eric reached out and helped her sort it out, blocking a trace of red marks, and smiled: "If you don't block it, who would dare to say anything."
Elizabeth threw him a white eye: "Okay, I took off the scarf. You accompany me to the meeting."
Eric consciously does not have such a thick skin, and immediately changed his mouth: "consider as finished, I think it is better to cover it."
"You bastard," Elizabeth scolded in disdain.
The car stopped, the driver got out of the car and pulled the car door, Elizabeth leaned over and kissed Eric, picked up his shoulder bag, and said: "You don't have to get off the car, I will just go by myself."
Eric nodded and watched Elizabeth into the office building all the time, and then told the driver to drive.
In addition to the full CG shot of the airport plane dive in "Casino Royale", there are not many shots that need special effects processing, so the post-production progress is relatively fast.
Returning from San Francisco, the special effects scene of "Casino Royale" was completed in the next period of February, and the film entered the final editing stage, which can be said to be a crucial step in determining the quality of a film. The whole of late February , Eric is no longer concerned about other things, but devoted himself to the editing of "Casino Royale".
At the same time, after finalizing the final plan, Firefly Electronics started the MP3 player Fireflyer's publicity offensive. Although it can be predicted that Fireflyer will have a very broad market prospect worldwide, however, Bill · O Management such as Elson decided to first explore the North America market.
With the support of a large number of media resources in the Firefly system, the exquisite and compact figure of Fireflyer quickly appeared on North America ’s major advertising platforms such as TV, Internet and paper media. Firefly Electronics also cooperated with the Yahoo portal in a large area, and took 10,000 with great pride. The prototype is held in the Yahoo web portal promotion event. As long as the user activates the Yahoo music box account, they can get a lucky draw once a day to win the opportunity to try Fireflyer for free. At the same time, users also have the opportunity to get Yahoo music store gift coupons of different face value for Purchase songs at the Yahoo music store.
Although the free gift of 10,000 Fireflyers and a large number of gift certificates directly brought a huge marketing fee of 3 million USD to Firefly Electronics and the Yahoo portal, the effect is also very obvious, because only the user ’s personal credit card information needs to be bound to the Yah00Pay tool And to achieve activation, no substantial consumer behavior is required. In just one week, the number of new users of Yah00Pay exceeds 700,000, and the total number of users is closer to the 5 million mark. Prior to this, the promotion channels of Yah00Pay were mainly Cooperation with online payment sites such as Amazon, which is mainly supported by Firefly investment company, because e-commerce is just budding, and users also have some concerns about the security of online payment tools. Since its release more than a year ago, the number of Yah00Pay users is only more than 4 million, relative to North America has exceeded the number of 50 million Internet users, and this ratio is far from satisfying Yahoo.
With the further promotion, Fireflyer quickly attracted a lot of users ’attention. At the end of February, Firefly Electronics according to a survey result of the Yahoo portal showed that the single-month shipment of Fireflyer ’s North America in April is likely to reach 100,000 pieces. And, this is a more conservative estimate.
On the other hand, at the end of February, Yahoo also produced its first decent annual financial report since its establishment five years ago.
In 1996, the number of Internet users worldwide exceeded the 80 million mark. As the world ’s largest Internet market, the number of North America Internet users has doubled compared to 1995, reaching a huge 50 million.
With the explosive development of the North America Internet industry, Yahoo Network Company, which occupies more than 70% of the market share of Internet online services, relies on its main business such as web portal, online mailboxes, search engines, personal homepage, etc. Achieved 1.9400 million USD operating income throughout the year, thanks to the great success of Yahoo Advertisement Alliance, of which 90% of the revenue comes from the Internet advertising business.
Although, in order to achieve rapid expansion in countries such as North America and overseas United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, Japan and even Brazil in Latin America, Yahoo 1996 has invested 3.3.5 billion USD in various aspects of operating expenses, and the annual performance report is still Shown as a loss 100 million 40 million USD. However, compared with the revenue figures of less than 25 million USD in 1995, a 776% increase in performance within a year still surprised many people.
At the same time, although it is predicted that Yahoo ’s performance growth in the next year will be significantly slower than last year, the company still gives a conservative growth expectation of 200%. As long as it can reach this number, Yahoo is likely to start from next year. Will achieve a break-even, and even get a small profit, which is undoubtedly very beneficial to the listing of Yahoo.
In order to pave the way for the listing of Yahoo in the next two years, Yahoo published this information on the web portal homepage without hesitation after the data of the chronological report was released. It also caused a huge sensation in the industry. Anyone knows clearly, What does the annual growth rate of more than 700% mean? The Nasdaq market is particularly sensitive to this data. The listed Internet technology stocks have been stimulated by Yahoo's annual financial report, and their stock prices have risen. Wall Street was also very excited. After Yahoo announced its annual financial report, it raised the valuation of Yahoo to 9billion USD.
The Los Angeles ’s Eric was also surprised when he saw this financial report. He thought that Yahoo ’s income explosion would be pushed back at least a year or even longer. It seems that because Yahoo appeared early, it has changed. Too many things.
While reading the Yahoo overseas expansion materials, Eric will inevitably think of his hometown. Seeing that Yahoo does not have any development plans for it, it is inevitable that people are inquired.
As a result, according to some scattered data, China did not have 200,000 Internet users until the end of 1996, and the number of personal computer sales in China was only over 700,000. Correspondingly, in the world, the number of Internet users in 1996 has exceeded 80 million, and the shipment of global personal computers in 1996 also reached 70.9 million units. The sales of personal computers in United States alone exceeded 26 million.
Okay, Eric saw a simple page of information, and temporarily lost it. It ’s hard to raise a new year in my heart.
After Yahoo announced its annual financial report, two IT companies, Cisco and AOL, which have a large shareholding in Firefly Investment, have also successively announced their annual financial statements. Compared with the Yahoo, which has just begun to burst, the performance of these two companies should be really bright Many eyes, even the slightly weaker AOL, the annual turnover has reached 1.8 billion USD.
Looking back to Hollywood, on February 27th, "Titanic" was released for the tenth week, and Box Office still reached 25 300,000 USD in a single week. At the same time, the cumulative Box Office officially broke through the 400 million USD mark, reaching 4. 1.7 billion USD. Because the single week Box Office of "Titanic" is still steadily maintained above 20 million USD, the organization predicts that "Titanic" will break the 460 million USD North America Box Office record created by 《Star Wars》 in the twelfth week of the release, and even further, During the Oscar period at the end of March, the total Box Office of "Titanic" will break through 500 million USD and become a North America first part Box Office film that reaches 500 million.
