Chapter 1953 1955 [Poor response]
??But no boss likes people with two minds.
?She can betray once, but she can betray twice.
?So Yang Jingru deliberately followed Xiang Nan''s words, and as expected, Xiang Nan liked to listen.
"Girls like you are rare these days." Xiang Nan smiled again, "Rare, rare. If I were the boss of ATV, I would definitely train you well."
“Mr. Ning, you are so grateful.” Yang Jingru waved her hand and said, “My parents have taught me since I was a child that to be a human being is to be grateful, and to repay a drop of kindness with a spring of water. I have always remembered this sentence to this day.”
"Okay, not only is the character good, but the tutor is also good, which is really rare." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I just have to stay in Xiangjiang for a while. If you are willing, how about staying with me and helping me relieve my boredom?"
Yang Jingru was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile, "Of course I am willing. It is also good to learn knowledge from you and broaden your horizons."
Xiang Nan also smiled and nodded.
…
After staying in Xiangjiang for half a month, Xiang Nan brought Cong Shan and An Ning back to the United States.
At this time, Universal Pictures is releasing the movie "Made in Heaven" starring Lindsay Lohan.
The story tells the story of a pair of twins who were separated due to their parents’ divorce after they were born, but the two later met at a summer camp.
Because of their similar looks and personalities, the two quickly became good friends and learned that they were twins and learned about life after their parents separated. Then they decided to exchange each other''s lives and worked hard to bring their parents back together...
??This is a romantic comedy film adapted from the 1960s movie "Dad Loves Mom". Among them, Lindsay Lohan not only plays two roles, but also plays each other in the film, which is equivalent to playing four roles.
?Just like Pan Yueming''s performance in "White Night", he not only has to play the elder brother and younger brother, but also the younger brother pretending to be the elder brother, and the older brother pretending to be the younger brother.
Pan Yueming was unanimously recognized by the audience because of his excellent performance. Lindsay Lohan was only eleven years old when she filmed this movie, but she was already able to complete it very well, which shows her high talent.
??Moreover, she is not only talented in acting, but also very beautiful and sweet. Therefore, she not only impressed the hearts of industry judges and won the Best Young Actress Award at the Artistic Newcomer Award, but also won the hearts of the audience.
In the end, "The Perfect Match" grossed more than 60 million US dollars at the North American box office and nearly 100 million US dollars at the global box office. For a movie that cost only $15 million, this result can be said to be quite good.
This movie is Lindsay Lohan’s debut. Such good results in her debut film made her become the most watched child star in the United States.
…
In March, Universal Pictures released the movie "Titanic" directed by James Cameron and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
Xiang Nan spent US$100 million to take over this movie from Fox Pictures last year, and then invested more than US$80 million to finally complete the filming.
This movie also set a record as the most expensive movie in Hollywood. The shooting cost was US$210 million, which was much higher than the box office of most movies.
??Had Xiang Nan not known how terrible the box office performance of "Titanic" was, he would not have been able to take such a big risk. You know, now he is regarded by everyone in Hollywood as being taken advantage of.
After all, James Cameron''s previous best result, "Terminator 2", only had a global box office of US$520 million. Therefore, "Titanic" is likely to cause Xiang Nan to lose money, and Xiang Nan is also likely to lose money this time. Encountered Waterloo.
Given that he has never failed in his investments before, many people are waiting to see the joke this time.
Sure enough, after the release of "Titanic", the initial box office response was not good.
?The box office on the first day was only US$10 million. In comparison, "Batman and Robin", which was released on Christmas last year, had a box office of US$20 million on the first day.
?Hence, the media, who were not too concerned about the excitement, began to ridicule the movie, Xiang Nan, and James Cameron, thinking that they would lose their pants this time.
“With a shooting cost of US$210 million and a publicity cost of US$50 million, Universal Pictures is expected to create the largest loss record in film history!”
"Poor Leonardo, so young and handsome, with such a bright star, is likely to sink into the deep sea with this big ship. Just like Chris O''Donnell."
“Charles, the ever-victorious general, encountered his Waterloo. Although for him, a loss of US$200 million is definitely bearable. But I don’t think the shareholders of Universal Pictures will think so.”
??Film critics are making a lot of noise in the media.
?There are many people in this world who are red-headed and white-headed, hating people''s wealth and despising people''s poverty. In particular, Xiang Nan has been popular and prosperous for seventeen years since he filmed "The Dragon" in 1981, which naturally makes many people envious and jealous.
Because of this, seeing him having bad luck, they naturally rushed to watch the show and said strange things.
?But Xiang Nan didn''t pay attention to them.
Because he knows that the movie "Titanic" itself is a slow movie. In real life, when it first started, it didn''t perform very well.
But as time went by, the box office of this movie increased instead of decreasing, and finally it stayed at the top of the weekly list for fifteen weeks. It was equivalent to all the movies in those four months being shrouded in its shadow.
This is also the reason why Xiang Nanhui chose to arrange for its release in March. If it is scheduled in the second half of the year, many of Universal Pictures'' movies that should have been big hits may be crushed by it.
…
As Xiang Nan expected, the box office of "Titanic" in the first week was not amazing, only more than 30 million US dollars, ranking fourth in the box office rankings.
You should know that most of the movies released in March are low-cost literary films, and the box office is not high. Therefore, "Titanic"''s fourth place position is not only not worthy of honor, but also a bit pitiful.
?This also makes it bear more ridicule and ridicule. Universal Pictures'' stock price also began to fall. Within a week, the stock price fell by nearly 20%.
?Calculated based on a market value of US$30 billion, if the market value is 20%, US$6 billion will evaporate out of thin air. This naturally made the outside world laugh even more.
“One movie lost a Fox, and James Cameron created the biggest tragedy in film history.”
“Fox Pictures was really smart. Not only did it get rid of the blame in time, but it also took back 100 million. Poor Charles, he thought it was an opportunity, but it turned out to be a trap.”
“Fox Pictures shareholders should give Bill a gold medal. He saved Fox Pictures from the brink of bankruptcy in a timely manner.” (Bill Kelmaker is Fox Pictures CEO).
Not only newspapers and magazines are ridiculing this issue, but also talk shows on radio and television stations are using it as a topic to ridicule. This made Cong Shan afraid to turn on the TV for fear of irritating Xiang Nan.
?But she was obviously over-worrying. Not only was Xiang Nan lifeless, he was also actively preparing for a new movie project and had no time to deal with that group of people.
Because he has confidence in "Titanic", he has confidence in James Cameron, and he has more confidence in Leonardo DiCaprio.
