Chapter 568

"Congratulations to APLUS, dancing out of my life and earning more than 15 million yuan at the box office in the second week? The momentum is very good."

At the end of this week, the two returned to Chicago and met Song Ya who had just returned in Highland Park. "Is the trip to Asia and the West Coast going well?" Louis asked squatting next to the swimming pool.

"It's okay." Song Ya crawled out of the water lazily, took the towel he handed over and wiped it casually, "I'm just a little tired, let's sit down." He went to sit down on the recliner first, picked up ice cubes Take a sip of the martini.

This week he went to this book and several big cities on the west coast. He was really tired after flying around, and his grades were not bad. After dancing out of my life, he still couldn’t beat The Lion King and True Lies after being released in succession around the world, but in some countries , For example, in small and medium-sized markets such as Poland and Switzerland, it overwhelmed Forrest Gump on the box office charts. So Amy, Linda and the others still didn't come back this week, and rushed to those countries to consolidate the market, leaving Beimi to myself who was alone in the box office.

African-Americans and Asians on the West Coast are very supportive of this film, and some theaters near the community are already preparing for long-term screenings. This is good news, although the box office share of long-term screenings will be very low. The popularity of the film did not reduce the attendance rate much. Because Universal increased the number of films, the box office in Beimi did not decrease but increased. Unfortunately, Warner's "Client (Ultimate Witness)" won 30 million in the first film, resulting in a drop in the ranking. bit.

So the current box office rankings are Forrest Gump, The Client, True Lies, The Lion King, Dance My Life, and Baseball Angels.

"I had a nightmare when I was just catching up on sleep," Song Ya pointed to the villa in front of him, "Schwarzenegger was driving a Harrier fighter jet and frantically strafing this house." Dashan cast a shadow in his heart.

"Hahaha……"

Louis and Brenda both listened to the music.

"What about you? Is there any news here recently?" Song Ya asked.

"It's nothing, Brenda and I have a lot of free time, and we've been running the record store." Louis replied: "Dancing My Life soundtrack is selling well, and you can often see boys imitating you in that T-shirt two-piece suit on the road."

During the publicity in San Francisco, Song Ya has already learned that the sales of T-shirts of A+ clothing have increased significantly. The short-sleeved cultural T-shirts on the outside are inevitably shunted away by other brands, but the plain long-sleeved T-shirts without any printing , and the sleeveless T that he wore for dancing in the second half of the movie, only A+ clothing has a lot of goods in advance, the long-sleeved T is inside, no need for any tricks, pure cotton is comfortable to wear, and the sleeveless is elastic and tight This T-shirt had no signs of becoming popular before, and it was all brought into being a hit by the movie.

A+ Apparel also sold a lot of luminous belts through Universal's movie peripheral channels, "Don't worry, Daniel is a master at selling records, and the popularity will suddenly rise when the charts start, Brenda, you have to be prepared. "

He knew what Brenda was worried about, and said a few words to calm down the army.

"Oh, by the way, we saw your first album at Padgett. The discount seems to be huge, but the actual selling price is about the same as that in Blockbuster chain stores. Is this okay?" Louis asked.

"What do you mean?" Song Ya didn't understand.

"Some discount supermarkets seem to have raised the original price of the record, which looks like a fierce discount, but the price consumers actually get is not much worth it." Lewis replied.

"Only mine is still..."

"It's all like this... I don't know if it's illegal to do so, but it's definitely not in line with the rules."

"Let me ask, Taraji! Don't sleep! Call Daniel for me!"

Linda was not there, and Song Ya yelled out Taraji, who was also catching up on sleep, "Hey, Daniel, I heard..." He conveyed Louis' concerns.

"There is no way. Target is in a record price war with chain discount stores such as Presence (), Best Buy, etc. In order to stabilize our market prices, we can only do this." Daniel replied.

"Is this okay?" Song Ya asked.

"There is no problem,

It’s hard to do APLUS in record distribution now, pirated CDs and cassettes are too impactful, and you don’t want to see the prices of your and Miss Kelly’s records being lowered. My performance in 1994 has dropped sharply, right? "Daniel said:" Don't worry, everyone does this. "

"Well, you're a professional."

Song Ya asked Brenda and Louis a few more questions about the ranking of the soundtrack, and then dropped her hand.

"APLUS, turn on the TV! Watch the news!"

As soon as the two left, he received another call from Eremov from Los Angeles, "What kind of black material about me has been revealed again? Don't look, those guys should be enough, right? After all, Jim Carrey's Disguise in disguise next week It's coming." After a day of busy work, I didn't bother to go back to the house to watch TV.

"It's baseball news, it's about baseball angels!!" Yeremov yelled.

‘The Major League Baseball Players Union has announced an imminent strike that will continue until a new collective bargaining agreement is signed. '

"It is rumored that one of the triggers for this strike is the hit movie Baseball Angel..."

"What the hell is this?"

Song Ya still got up and went back to the house to watch the news, and couldn't help complaining, "They didn't go on strike during the offseason of the Football World Cup. They didn't go on strike until the World Cup was over and the rematch was over? The players mean that they want to rest until next year, right? Baseball Angels Do you even want to rub off on this kind of heat?"

"They have been firmly suppressed by us for two weeks and they don't seem to give up yet," Yeremov said.

"Let's make trouble with them. We'll be honest when Ghost in Disguise is released." Song Ya yawned. He asked Anne Fletcher about it. Three minutes would erupt into laughter. He didn't have any idea, just lay down on the ground when the time comes, anyway, I have won 30 million North American box office in the first two weeks of my life, the global box office statistics will lag behind for a long time, and the task has been overfulfilled.

"Well, you have the final say, boss."

Yeremov was speechless, "By the way, Linton, the new president of Hollywood Pictures, wants to talk to you about the adaptation rights and script cooperation of the 'Catch Me If You Can' movie."

"Cooperation? Not a transfer?"

"He didn't want to sell."

"Don't want to sell a script that is full of ashes in the warehouse?" Song Ya didn't believe it. "It's an old trick, let them hang out first, anyway, I'm not in a hurry." Judging from the changes in his facial features, it is estimated that the original movie will be released ten years later, and the filming start date will be at least nine years later.

"I see, you have a good rest, boss."

However, this incident in the baseball world brought an unexpected development. After the news of the players' general strike, the baseball star card market, which has been hotly copied, suddenly collapsed, and it triggered a chain reaction in the football, basketball and other star card collection circles.

Fleer, which specializes in star cards, is expected to see a sharp drop in profit. This company has been acquired by Marvel earlier, which has also led to a sharp drop in Marvel's stock price... and it has also implicated other comic books, toy peripherals and other collection markets under Marvel. ...'

The next day, NBC's financial station broadcast the news, "Perelman, the tycoon who owns Marvel, is having a hard time. He is being investigated by Congress for several bank transactions a few years ago..." TV guest Analysis: "He also owns a large number of related industrial companies."

"Hahaha... I have never figured out why those plastic pieces of paper are worth so much money." Song Yale was upset, and he called, "How is your negotiation with Marvel about the Blade Warrior project?"

"Fxxk, those guys are a bunch of swindlers who want me to put my money into a movie project and then get ripped off by them."

It seems to be recollecting, "Why don't we make our own film projects, how about bringing me an APLUS. I have a script here, which is almost my personal autobiography."

"Hehe... If there is a chance, uh, why are you looking for me, Taraji?"

Song Ya quickly found an excuse to hang up the phone.
