Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Lone Pine Town is located in a wide canyon in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the west of California. It is a typical western town of United States. It is surrounded by Gobi, hills, deserts, and mountains. The natural scenery is beautiful. Since the beginning of 20th century Hollywood, Gusong Town has been the location of many movies, especially the western film. For this reason, there is a small movie museum in Gusong Town, which specifically records the once around the town. shoots video information.
The opening episode of "Iron Man" Tony Stark was attacked, and the scenes of the imprisoned cave scene and the test firing of the Jericho missile were shot around shoots around Gusong Town.
On a gentle **** in the Alabama hills west of Gusong Town, Carolyn and Melanie stood together outside the crew, watching the Eric stand away from the snowy mountains in the distance, and published an impromptu promotion of the Jericho missile Speech.
After Eric finished the line with a little bit of enthusiasm, spread his arms, a high-pressure wind gun placed not far behind him made a muffled sound, which stirred up a large amount of dust, and Eric was pushed by the waves Can't help but step forward.
This is the fifth time shoots, the crew wanted to create a Tony Stark standing still in the shock wave of a missile, the actual scene of shoots is naturally impossible to really launch any missile, air wave effect It was completely released manually.
It's just that the effect of the Qi wave is too strong. After trying a few times, Eric failed to stand still. However, if the high-pressure wind cannon is moved backward, the 'effect' of the Jericho missile explosion will be greatly reduced.
"It's still like this," Carolyn smiled crookedly at the corner of his mouth, and said: "It's not stable at all."
"I think this kind of effect is actually good," Melanie expressed his opinion, with a smile on his face, and said: "Did you not notice the performance of Boss just now? I was shocked and stumbled. , Obviously embarrassing, but pretending to be casual, which is much better than standing there motionlessly. "
"It's a little funny," Carolyn nodded, and in the tone of the voice, it sorted out. Of course, he said, "Eric is really powerful."
Melanie rolled her eyes slightly when she heard this Nizi's words.
In the venue, Eric and Joss Whedon repeatedly watched the effect of the lens just a few times, discussed it, and decided that the effect was good and decided not to retake the shot.
This is already the second week of the film crew ’s shoots in Gusong Township, and there will be only one scene of Eric rescued in the desert after escaping from the cave. After the completion, there will be only a lot of fragmented interior scenes, and basically will not leave Los Angeles.
After looking at the time, after 4:30 in the afternoon, Joss Whedon announced that he would close the work. The crew of the crew began to organize the shoots equipment in an orderly manner, preparing to return to the station of Gusong Town.
Eric naturally does not need to pay attention to these trivial matters. After receiving a bottle of water from Carolyn and drinking it in one breath, he took the two women on an off-road vehicle and drove towards Gusong Town first.
In the front row of the off-road vehicle are two bodyguards. Carolyn and Melanie are crowded together next to the back seat Eric. Watching Carolyn remove a thick stack of folders from the carrying bag, Eric smiled and asked: "Today Is there any good news? "
Carolyn nodded and did not open the folder, he replied skillfully: "A new week of Box Office data was sent from Los Angeles in the morning. The third week of" Austin Powers 2 "Box Office fell to 36%, Closed 26 670,000 USD, three-week cumulative Box Office 100 million 4 1,900,000 USD. "The Wedding Singer" fell 41% the next week, closing 26.71 million USD, bi-weekly Box Office accumulated 72.99 million USD. "Species" fell 39% the following week, closed 18.91 million, cumulative Box Office 50.01 million USD. In three weeks, the three films Box Office totaled 260 million USD, which means that we have recovered all production and distribution costs according to an average share of 55%. "
The production cost of the three films, "Austin Powers2" is 30 million USD, "The Wedding Singer" is 18 million USD, "Species" is 35 million USD, plus 50 million USD advertising and marketing costs, the average of the three companies is about 300 to 5 million USD film copies Issue expenditure, cumulative expenditure 140 million USD early.
The total Box Office of the Easter period 260 million USD, according to the average share of 55%, the three companies will recover the Box Office share of about 1.4300 million USD, which does mean that the Firefly, Fox and Metro Goldwyn Mayer companies have recovered all costs.
Of course, subdivided into three films, "Austin Powers2" is already a big profit, but "Species" still needs a few weeks to return to the original, "The Wedding Singer" has the highest investment return ratio.
According to the specific data, the single week Box Office of the three films has fallen to around 20 million USD. In the next few weeks, with the dissipation of the Easter atmosphere, the three films can recover 100 million USD Box Office. .
After Carolyn finished speaking, watching Eric thinking for a moment, she just nodded in satisfaction. She blinked her eyes and still didn't take the initiative to say anything.
Eric has been staying in Gusong Town for half a month and has been devoted to shoots in "Iron Man", so I do n’t know how much the Box Office results of these three films caused in Hollywood.
The cumulative expenditure of 140 million USD for the three films "Austin Powers2", "The Wedding Singer" and "Species" is probably equivalent to the budget of a large-scale production film.
But according to the current Box Office trend, the three films are only in North America, and it is possible to withdraw 360 million USD Box Office, which is definitely a miracle.
You know, last year ’s North America local annual Box Office champion, which is "Casino Royale" directed by Eric, North America Box Office was only 370 million USD. If the accumulated 360 million USD of the three films belongs to a movie, it is absolutely 90% likely to book this year's North America Box Office championship.
This year ’s Easter period, also because of the successful marketing of the three companies, Box Office almost broke through 100 million USD in a three-week period, and in previous years, the weekly Box Office of the Easter period was only only 70-80 million USD. about.
Therefore, during this time, almost all Film Studio of Hollywood are studying the ‘Easter Movie Package’ program of three companies in detail, trying to learn from them in order to replicate this Box Office miracle.
Carolyn did n’t speak, and Melanie, who was leaning on the other door, noticed Eric ’s indifferent response, but said: “Eric, the three films North America total Box Office is expected to reach 360 million USD, if this is a movie, it may be North America The Box Office champion of the year. "
Eric naturally understands the meaning of Melanie and laughs: "But they are only low-cost production after all. Although they can achieve such success in North America, they are not qualified for large-scale global distribution, even if they can be in North America. Obtained 360 million USD Box Office, but their overseas total Box Office is good enough to reach 200 million USD, and the total Box Office of global is only 500 to 600 million USD. Compared with the same budget cost, the big production film global Box Office has more potential, such as "Jurassic Park "Series," Men in Black "series or Metro Goldwyn Mayer special agent film universe series is just a film, global Box Office can easily reach 700 million or even higher, and the profitability of peripheral products of large-scale films is far from these low Cost production is comparable. "
Melanie retorted: "However, big production is more likely to lose money. A company that loses a big production may be bankrupt."
"This is undeniable, but the future of Hollywood is the world of blockbuster, and this is also an irreversible trend. If you always think of being small and broad, it is like fighting to win more with less, The probability is very low. "
Melanie nodded slightly, pretending to be persuaded, and no longer arguing with Eric, she knew that she certainly could not compete with Eric.
Carolyn was sandwiched between the two, listening to their conversation, and finally looked at the expression of Melanie, what just knows thought about his girlfriend.
Blinking again, Carolyn wanted to say something. The car had already entered Gusong Town and soon arrived at the hotel where the crew was staying.
Watching Eric get off and walk towards her room, the two women know his habits, knowing that Eric must return to the room to take a shower. In the past, both women evacuated automatically, but this time, Melanie did It was Carolyn, followed by Eric to the suite where he lived.
Although Eric is very resistant to living in places like hotels, but Gusong Town, with only 2,000 residents, it is obviously impossible to provide any better accommodation for Eric, and Eric does not want its cleanliness to gradually develop into a pathological condition To the point, I chose to live in a hotel with the crew this time. All I did was replace all the bedding in the suite with new ones.
Entering the room all the way, seeing Melanie abnormally pulling Carolyn along, Eric wondered: "Is there anything else?"
"Of course, work," Melanie nodded sternly, "Eric, there are several documents that you need to sign today."
"That, shall I wait for my shower?"
Melanie said: "You can take a shower before going to bed."
With that said, Melanie has pulled Carolyn into the room, sat down on the sofa, and opened the stack of folders that Carolyn just pulled out of the shoulder bag.
It's just that even the smartest guy can't stop the negative BUFF bonus of the pig teammates.
Looking at Carolyn sitting next to Melanie, a little visibly guilty, and Eric is not stupid. How could he not know what is wrong?
Laughing and sitting across from the two girls, Eric said: "Nà, do n’t use work as an excuse. Is there something I need to help?"
Melanie shook his head seriously: "No."
Eric looks at Carolyn: "Carly, you said."
Carolyn quickly blinked a few times and shook his head: "No, no."
Melanie no longer has any expectation for this nizi next to her, as long as she does n’t fight by herself.
Seeing that Carolyn did n’t break the chain at the critical moment, Melanie was relieved. In the past few years, she has also figured out the character of Eric, she did n’t recognize anything, and Eric will not drive them out of the room.
Hand a folder to Eric, Melanie: "Eric, this is a copy of Firefly ’s contract for the acquisition of Virgin Records. You need to read the signature in person and send it back to Los Angeles tomorrow."
Eric looked at the appearance of the two girls, just smiled, and simply stopped investigating. After taking over the file and looking at it, he asked casually: "How is Fireflyer2's sales this week?"
Today is April 24th. Fireflyer2 is officially open for sale on Easter weekend on April 11. The sales volume of North America and Europe reached 670,000 in the first week. If this sales rate can be maintained, there will be eight remaining this year. For more than a month, just Fireflyer2, global sales may exceed 22 million units.
However, many people are not quite sure about Fireflyer2's sales prospects. Some people think that the sales of 670,000 in the first week are only due to the outbreak of demand caused by the launch of new products and early publicity. Later sales may fall. Some people think that with the further popularity of the Internet, the market capacity of the Fireflyer player will be further expanded, and the sales volume of the Fireflyer player this year may even reach 30 million.
Therefore, after the first week, if you want to know the demand trend of Fireflyer2, the sales data for the next few weeks is still very important.
"There is no statistics yet," Melanie shook his head. Today is only the last day of the second week of Fireflyer2's sales. To get the approximate sales data, it needs another two or three days: "However, from San Francisco According to the information feedback there, the sales volume this week should still be able to remain above 600,000, because the user feedback on this new product is very good. "
Compared with the first generation, Fireflyer2 will naturally not just increase the capacity. Firefly Electronics has made great efforts in battery life, operation optimization and even design, although the price has increased a lot. But compared with the first generation, it is still very good value for money.
Eric turned the page in his hand and continued to ask: "What about NokiaM-100?"
Melanie does not have the unforgettable memory of Carolyn. After hearing Eric asking, I turned over the information in my hand. After a while, I found a data report and glanced at it, saying: "AT- The data of the three operators T, Verizon and Sprint have not yet come out, but the bare metal sold by Amazon, the sales volume in two weeks has exceeded 11,000 units. "
Since the age of analog signals, the mobile phone market of North America has been dominated by several major communication operators. Operators ’contract machines have accounted for more than 90% of North America ’s mobile phone sales. This situation did not appear until Apple mobile phones appeared later It was broken some.
Because of consumption habits, mobile communication users of North America rarely buy bare metal.
Except for the Amazon online platform, NokiaM-100 has not arranged sales in physical stores other than operators.
So, according to the sales ratio of 9 to 1, the sales volume of Amazon music phones is 11,000 units, and the total sales volume of NokiaM-100 should be about 110,000 units, which is less than one-tenth of the two-week sales of Fireflyer2 players. .
Eric knew that Nokia had only prepared the 50,000 Taiwanese supply. His only satisfaction now is that he has not heard of out-of-stock news. This point, the supply chain of Nokia is undoubtedly much stronger than Firefly Electronics. In addition, the average sales volume of about 10,000 units per Friday is really far from meeting the expectations of Eric. If Nokia can be more attentive, the sales of M-100 are definitely more than that.
However, Eric has no intention to pay attention to these now. After reading the copy of Firefly ’s contract to acquire Virgin Records, he signed his own name, and was entangled with Melanie to process other documents. Until the night came, Melanie pulled Eric to have dinner together.
It wasn't until 9pm that Eric returned to his room again.
Close the door and shrug gently. Eric walks to the bathroom and intends to rest early after taking a shower.
The rooms of the two girls Melanie and Carolyn are next to Eric. In the room, Melanie sneaked on the wall to eavesdrop for a while, feeling the sound of water, and immediately dragged Carolyn out of the room and took out Eric The spare room card in the suite opened the door softly and dragged some Carolyn on tiptoe to the Eric bedroom.
Carolyn ’s face has become a red Apple at this time. I want to break away from Melanie and grab my hand, and whispered: "May, I think, I think, or, do n’t do this?"
"just knows will be like this," Melanie glared at this nizi, no longer verbose, forcibly pressed Carolyn on the Eric bed, divided by three and five, and then stripped the girl to only a close-fitting coat. Wrapping the quilt to wrap the Carolyn, Melanie bowed his head and kissed the girl who was already too ashamed to open her eyes, and said, "Nà, I can only help you get here."
After finishing, Melanie picked up some clothes of Carolyn and flashed out of the room on tiptoe again.
As the girlfriends took their clothes away, Carolyn also lost the motivation to escape, obediently shrunk in the quilt, his nose sniffed, and felt the aura of Eric, his face became more ruddy.
He took a hot bath comfortably. Eric wore a bathrobe, wiped his wet hair with a towel, and just walked out of the bathroom, he couldn't help staying.
Carolyn curled up on the big bed like a cat happened to glance at Eric, startled, and immediately retracted into the bed.
Eric froze for a while before I finally understood why the two girls were so abnormal today, or, during this time Carolyn has been so abnormal.
Smiling helplessly, Eric walked to the bed and sat down, gently pulled the quilt, a pair of small hands holding the quilt resisted, and then quickly released, followed by a flushed little boy with closed eyes face.
Gently squeezed on the delicate face of Carolyn, Eric sighed gently: "Stupid Nizi."
