Chapter 1565: It's Okay if You're Not Used to It

In the relaxed atmosphere of chatting and laughing, chattering and chatting, a story about the three-body problem was born unconsciously. When several consecutive classic theories about the three bodies were constructed by Simon casually, Sylvia only felt strange.

So simple?

Of course it's not simple, but probably only a certain little girl with bright eyes can understand what happened, but although the little girl is very interested in some of the statements in the story, she can't help but use her brain, and the other , she doesn't care. Including where my father came from and where he will go.

Because of a special brain, the world in the eyes of the little girl is different from that of ordinary people.

Sylvia is Anthony's second child. Compared with Rebecca, the youngest sister who is only 6 years old, she was actually born in 1971. She is 28 years old this year. She did not go to Britain and the United States like most of the high-society children in Australia when she was in college. Instead of studying abroad, he directly studied history at the University of Melbourne. The subject was in line with his own class, and then he joined Johnston Holdings. He is currently engaged to a boyfriend who is also a well-matched boyfriend in the upper class of Australia, and plans to complete the wedding this summer.

A step-by-step life.

After chatting like this, the girl accidentally aroused her long-awaited literary hobby. She also mentioned that she had run a literary magazine in college, and then volunteered to complete the story, hoping that Simon, who was actually only three years older than her, would Uncle can be made into a movie.

Simon doesn't care.

I just think that this story, it seems, is more suitable to be filmed as a TV series, and Sylvia obviously doesn't mind, saying that a TV series is a TV series. It just so happens that what dho needs most is all kinds of heavy hits, and in this case, things are roughly settled.

This is actually the case in Hollywood. Although the investment of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars is common, the production of many old classics is often just a flash of light in life, and it is not as tall as ordinary people imagine. The most typical one is Terminator. Just had a dream.

Simon is also curious, but he just refers to some structures given by his memory. This time, the brand-new three-body problem will be written by Sylvia.

Like, the beginning has changed.

In the chat, the story started at World War II. The heroine witnessed the killing of human beings and lost her loved ones, so she lost hope in this world. Time entered the Cold War, the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony, and secret alien research. It is discovered that there are aliens on the centaur star closest to human beings, and the story begins.

After continuing to stay in Australia for a week, Simon returned to North America on January 21, because this Sunday is the 57th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards Ceremony.

No plans to attend.

There are too many jobs accumulated here, it is impossible to continue to stay in Melbourne, but Jenny and the others will still wait until February before returning this time.

After taking such a long vacation, I continued working on the weekends I returned.

First of all, pay attention to the schedule at the end of 1999 that has passed.

When the time came to late January, Simon paid more attention to the specific trend of movies, and there are only two movies left, one is Chicago, and the other is Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.

The past box office week, from January 14th to January 20th, was the fourth week of Chicago's release. Since the third week, it has counterattacked as the single-week box office champion for two consecutive weeks. With its excellent reputation and continued high popularity, After a slightly deeper 31% decline in the week after New Year's Day, the decline narrowed again to 19% in the fourth week, earning $22.65 million.

In its four weeks of release, the musical's cumulative box office quickly hit $140.92 million.

Although looking at the current trend, it is unlikely to hit 300 million as expected after the first weekly box office was released, but it is still worth looking forward to how far it can go after a steady 200 million. For this reason, Chicago's performance in this awards season is crucial, and Gaomen Pictures' attitude is that there is no room for loss.

The second place is The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

In the sixth week of its release, the first episode of Lord of the Rings dropped by 29% in a single week, and continued to earn 19.15 million US dollars, with a cumulative box office of 286.56 million US dollars.

In the next two weeks at most, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring will exceed 300 million domestic box office. It is expected that the overall box office will not change much, and it will still be comparable to Cyborg 2, about 330 million to 350 million US dollars.

However, the overseas performance of this fantasy epic is unexpectedly stronger than Cyborg 2. Judging from the recent accumulated overseas data, the overseas box office of The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring is likely to reach 600 million US dollars. Therefore, it will push the global box office to reach the level of 900 million US dollars, or even close to 1 billion US dollars.

In addition to the two films, Steel Bone 2 has entered the closing stage of less than 10 million US dollars in a single week, and the total domestic box office volume is also more obvious, and the landing point will be between 330 million and 340 million US dollars.

Overseas, judging from the current trend, the overseas income of this DC super masterpiece is about 500 million to 600 million US dollars, so it means that the global box office will be between 800 million and 900 million US dollars, which is unbearable at most. Breaking through the 900 million threshold is not as good as the 1 billion potential of the first Lord of the Rings.

After the two local 300 million-level super blockbusters, there are Jumanji 2 and Cars. The trend of the two films is basically determined, both with a volume of 200 million US dollars. Among them, Cars is slightly ahead, with an estimated domestic volume of between 220 million and 230 million U.S. dollars, and Jumanji 2 is slightly behind, at 210 million to 220 million U.S. dollars.

Overseas, Cars is not as good as Jumanji 2. The overseas volume of the former is still about 200 million US dollars, and the global box office is between 400 million US dollars and

Between 500 million US dollars, and Game of the Brave 2 broke 300 million overseas easily, so the global expectation is also more than 500 million US dollars.

Of course, in terms of box office, Cars is not only incomparable with the super masterpieces of the same period, but also lags behind in the Pixar animation series. But speaking of peripherals, it was only two months at the end of the year, and only in the United States. As of the end of December, the sales of peripherals brought by this 3D animation quickly exceeded 1 billion US dollars, reaching a huge 1.17 billion US dollars. Counting overseas, the total sales of the film in less than two months at the end of 1999 exceeded 1.6 billion US dollars.

In short, if you compare it this way, other projects in the same period can only be called Dad.

Because of the super sales of Cars peripherals, of course, the success of films such as The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring at the end of 1999 cannot be ignored. Before that, Daenerys Entertainment, which had been only chasing behind Ygritte, has been in recent years. For months, the market value has steadily suppressed the former, becoming the super giant with the highest market value of listed companies in the world.

In the future, MGM's 007 Casino Royale has a domestic box office of 161 million US dollars, overseas is expected to exceed 300 million US dollars, and the global box office is about 500 million US dollars, which is considered a good performance.

Finally, there are Alien 3 and Genius Ripley. Both projects regrettably stopped beyond the threshold of the 100 million box office club. The domestic box office of Alien 3 is expected to be around 93 million, and the genius Ripley will stay around 88 million. However, in the same way, the overseas performance of the two projects is stronger than that of the local market, and both are estimated to have a global volume of 200 million US dollars.

In addition to a series of films scheduled for the end of 1999, I have to mention the documentary Mount Everest in September last year. The recent global distribution has basically been completed, including China. The domestic box office of this documentary is 106 million U.S. dollars. Overseas, including 114 million yuan in China, the total is about 137 million U.S. dollars. It grossed $243 million worldwide.

With a total investment of just over US$10 million, the global box office is US$243 million, and the return on investment is more than 20 times higher than that of Ghost Story 2, which invested a total of US$25 million and US$276 million worldwide last summer. Highest movie ever.

Most importantly, this is still a documentary, which makes people speechless and amazed.

Finally, as of December 31, 1999, the total box office of the North American film market in the past year was 6.73 billion U.S. dollars, of which only the films directly released by Daenerys Entertainment, excluding the cooperation projects such as Game of the Brave 2, finally won The total box office of the movie reached 3.46 billion US dollars, accounting for 51%.

The reaction of other Hollywood studios to this is nothing but powerlessness and numbness. Unknowingly, everyone has become more and more accustomed to the strength of Daenerys Entertainment.

After all, it’s okay if you’re not used to it.
