New York 1988

Chapter 106

In November, the Tuesday after the first Monday is the 11th, which is also the day when the results of the U.S. presidential election are announced.

Victoria, however, asked Han Sheng to do him a favor.

"Hurry up, I'm ready!" She was more straightforward than Elizabeth, basically being honest with each other.

Han Sheng was also salivating, but he still couldn't help watching the real-time election report that NBC was broadcasting.

While watching, he started directly.

"Oh, where do you put your hands?" Victoria pinched him.

He's honest, man.

Even Victoria, who was about to be spoiled by him, felt that he was a little too hasty.

"It's okay, it's okay, I have to press it anyway!" Han Sheng had a cheeky face and continued with a smile.

Victoria also knows that he has a very close relationship with George's family, especially the relationship with George Jr. is like a friend or a brother. Naturally, he will pay attention to this election.

After all, old George must be elected, then Han Sheng's backing will be stronger and more solid.

The election has been very anxious since the morning. George Sr. and his partner Dan Quayle had almost any advantage and only got 288 million votes, while their opponents had 281 million votes. The difference between the two sides was only tens of thousands of votes. Then the election Tickets are about the same.

The reason is also simple. The elephant party has been working for eight years, and Reagan's work is very mediocre, so even though Old George's popularity is good, his partner, Dan Quayle, who is only 41 years old, is super weak.

Many people are saying that he is too young, immature, and has no ability to be a deputy commander at all.

Then, unfortunately, the votes are now drawn from the traditional vote bases of the Elephant Party, such as California, the states and the like, and the rest are basically the traditional forces of the Donkey Party, the southern states.

Therefore, many commentators on TV are not very optimistic about Old George.

The so-called concern is chaos.

Part of the world in front of me is still different from the original time and space. For example, the hook brand did not launch their famous JDI slogan in July, and Han Sheng was the first to launch it at the end of October.

The effect was huge, and his first running shoe sold over 200 million pairs, which is super crazy for a new brand.

Then, sportswear and the like are also selling well.

The sporting goods industry even said that the wolf is coming.

Of course, Hook Brand doesn't know yet, Han Sheng and the others have already been eyeing them, and have been secretly contacting Michael Jordan, planning to pay a huge price to win him next year.

Well, in short, there are some different worlds, plus his sudden joining factor, under the so-called butterfly effect, he has to consider that Old George may lose.

That's why he paid so much attention.

However, Victoria also said at this time: "Little George helped you kill Lyme. Although it seems secret, those old people in the south must be able to guess something. If this is the case, it will be even more difficult for those states in the old south! "

As if to verify what she said, it just so happened that the results of Virginia came out. Not surprisingly, Old George's opponent, Michael Dukakis, won the state with an absolute advantage.

That also means that Michael Dukakis has reversed.

With a snap, Han Sheng slapped Victoria hard.

It took a lot of force, Victoria immediately covered it and screamed in pain, then turned on the light regardless of getting up, got up and bit him, "Bastards, you made a mistake and blame me...!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong!" Han Sheng immediately surrendered obediently, but the way of surrender was to hug her and have intimate contact with her. To put it bluntly, he took advantage of her.

All kinds of playing with lights and the like are exhilarating.

After coaxing, he seriously helped Victoria kill the chicken.

Interestingly, just on track, good news came.

In addition to Virginia, the traditional old southern states generally include Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, etc.

Then came the three old southern states, Georgia, Delaware, and Maryland. Then, everyone's eyes widened, thinking that they were wrong, and Old George had all won.

Even these three states were won with a sweeping advantage.

Victoria stood up again in surprise, with a look of disbelief, "Is this crazy?"

It was only then that Han Sheng remembered that in the original time and space, Old George was able to win the general election by relying on his advantages in the southern states.

Although he doesn't know why, but as long as he wins, it doesn't matter what the reason is.

Sure enough, next, to Victoria's incomparable surprise, it was around seven o'clock in the evening. Although the general election was not over yet, everything had already been settled.

It's very simple. Although the gap between the two sides in the votes of ordinary voters is only a few hundred thousand votes, George Sr. has won a full 341 electoral votes, more than half of the total number of electoral votes (538) stipulated (elected The President of the United States needs only 270 electoral votes).

That also means that old George has won.

Coincidentally, Little George also called at this time, shouting over there, "Dude, we won, we won, hahahahaha!"

"I was about to call you too," Han Sheng said with a smile, "I'll keep saying that your father will definitely win!"

"Hahahaha, thank you!" Old George happened to be beside him, and Little George passed the phone to Old George as soon as he got excited.

Han Sheng's status is not ordinary now, and he gives a lot of money, he is the big donor, so Old George chatted with Han Sheng a few words to express his gratitude, and Han Sheng congratulated the other party, and then said that he would always Support him and his family.

After a polite blending, Han Sheng was also very excited when he hung up the phone.

This excitement was then fully expressed in his horse killing chickens.

It easily made Victoria restless.

When he finally used his trump card, Victoria suddenly bit him on the shoulder...

……

Whatever you do, pay attention to hello, me, everyone.

At this time, Han Sheng was naturally ready to strike while the iron was hot.

But at this time, Victoria turned her face directly.

"Smelly shameless, what are you doing!"

"Is there a need to ask?" Han Sheng said, didn't you see the state in front of me?

You are fine, what about me.

Who knew Victoria cast a contemptuous glance, curled her lips, "What's none of my business?" Then she giggled, turned around and ran away.

Damn, this is too unjust, it's easy for you to have no friends like this.

Han Sheng was so depressed, "Next time you do this, I will never kill you again!"

"Cut, it's rare!" Victoria said arrogantly.

alright, you win!

You are not rare, but I am quite rare!

……

Old George won, and Han Sheng felt relieved.

Anyway, he is also the one who is about to benefit.

Next, there wasn't much to do in November other than continue to pull out hits from his first album to release singles.

It was not until early December that things suddenly became intensive.

Quite simply, not only is the award season coming, but also because the movie "Pretty Woman" is about to be released, and at the same time, Mariah Carey sang with him the super famous Christmas single "All I Want For Christmas Is You" will also be released soon.

"R-level, are you fucking kidding me? Doesn't that mean that I, the boss, are not qualified to watch it for the time being?"

Although in the original time and space, "Pretty Woman" was the standard for rating R, Han Sheng naturally wanted to lower the rating. The simplest reason is that if the R rating is downgraded to PG-13, it means Benefits in units of tens of millions of dollars.

However, Warner screwed up and ended up getting an R rating.

This problem also aroused Nicole Kidman's worries. After all, this is her first film as a leading actress in Hollywood. Once she messes up, it will be difficult to turn around in the future.

Think about Marshall, the director who made a lot of money doing soap operas on TV, but once the first movie blew up, he almost never got a chance to get another job.

This shows the cruelty of Hollywood.

"What should I do? Will it greatly reduce the box office?"

Nicole Kidman acted like a baby in his arms, "Tell me, if I screw up by then, will my future movie career be over!"

"Even if you don't have confidence in yourself, you still have to trust me!" Han Sheng laughed.

Don't talk about those who have nothing, and speak with evidence, "In the past two days, I arranged for the representatives of the theater to watch the film, and they all said it was good. After I promised to run the whole process of publicity, they also promised to give me Try to arrange as many movie theaters as possible...!"

Han Sheng is very popular now, and his ability to carry goods is even stronger.

What's more, the representatives of the theater chain also think that the movie "Pretty Woman" is good overall, and many of them gave it an A rating. Therefore, with the double benefit, the theater chain is willing to give more movie reviews. line to arrange.

Otherwise, no matter how big the name is, the film will be super bad at first glance, and the representatives of the theater chain will not give face.

Quite simply, they show movies to make money.

Money is the father, otherwise who are you?

Soon, after two days, the good news came. Warner calculated the data given by the theaters, and finally there were 1852 theaters.

Note, this is the cinema that opened the painting.

In the original time and space, there were only 1323 theaters where "Pretty Woman" opened, and only 1811 theaters when the box office expanded.

And in this world, once the box office is good, it is not impossible to reach 2500.

You know, 2500 theaters are already a lot these days. After all, there are only about 2800 movie theaters in total now, unlike when they later expanded to more than 4000 theaters, and then the number of blockbuster movies is usually 3300 or more. .

Even, not only the number of theaters has increased, but also the number of screens in a single theater will be more, the scheduling time will be better, and so on.

In short, this is the principle of profit first and winner takes all.

December 12nd is the day when "Pretty Woman" premiered.

Premieres are not very popular these days for the simple reason that they are too expensive.

And the box office of movies these days is usually not too high, 5000 million or more is considered good, and hundreds of millions is a super hit.Then, if too much money is spent on publicity and distribution, not even the cost can be recovered, and it may even be a loss. Therefore, saving as much as you can is the most commonly used principle now.

It's not like later, whether the movie is good or not depends entirely on the publicity and distribution. If you spend money like crazy, you can sell a few nails even if it is a bad movie. It might be over.

Therefore, no matter what movie it is, it has to spend money and make crazy announcements.

But now, it is mainly based on word of mouth, and then the release time is extended. Like records, they are used to selling for a long time, instead of relying on publicity and distribution as later, many of them are sold for the first week or the like.

Therefore, Warner, the publisher, just held a large-scale press conference.

Han Sheng is the boss of the producer, and he is closely related to whether the box office is good or not, so he naturally has to come out to cheer.

However, as soon as he was very supportive, the conference completely became his personal press conference.

From the very beginning, reporters threw him various questions.

Alberta from NBC did not flirt this time, and asked a serious question, "Vincent, why did you choose the Christmas schedule? In this highly competitive schedule, do you have confidence in your film?"

Han Sheng shrugged, "We all know that Christmas is when everyone is free and has money to go to the movies, which means that there are more people watching movies.

Of course, I am not the only one who understands this truth, but other film companies understand it. Therefore, the Christmas period has the most blockbuster films. However, since I dare to put the film in this period, I am naturally confident! "

In front of "Pretty Woman", on November 11-25, that is, "The Lonely Rich Man", which just released at the box office last weekend, received 27 million in three days on the weekend. Note that this year's first weekend in three days exceeded 1400 million is a real explosion (you can check the data comparison).

Then, there are also the best-selling animation "Little Foot Walks the World" and so on.

And "Pretty Woman" will be released at the same time as "Pretty Woman" on December 12, and it will be the equally popular "The White-Headed Detective", which is one of the most successful series of movies in the original time and space.

Then, the next weekend will be the blockbuster "Dragon Brothers and Mice", which is Governor Arno's another action movie after "Terminator", and next week, it will be the hottest actor in Hollywood right now Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman's super classic: "Rain Man."

Just watching these films, I know how fierce the competition for the Christmas schedule is.

Perhaps, the only good news is that among these highly competitive films, there are no romantic comedies, which means that they will not be direct competitors.

And this is another reason why Han Sheng chose this schedule.

"Can you predict the box office?" asked the Los Angeles Times reporter.

"When I wrote the script, I thought 1 million would be enough, but after seeing the finished film, I have to praise Director Marshall for his excellent work, as well as the wonderful performances of our beautiful Miss Nicole Kidman and others, so , Let me estimate now, I think it should be more than [-] million...!"

"Cheese...!" There was a crazy discussion from Han Sheng at the scene.

Even Marshall and Nicole Kidman felt that even if Han Sheng wanted to raise the topic, it was too bragging.

These days, [-] million is a blockbuster. If it is [-] million, let alone this year, even in the past ten years, it is not enough to add up to five fingers.

Therefore, even though no media would deliberately target him anymore, someone still stood up at this time and said sarcastically, "Are you sure it's 2000 million, not [-] million?"

Everyone was happy to hear this.

Han Sheng shrugged indifferently, "That's right, it's [-] million. Oh, yes, what I want to say is that [-] million is just for the North American box office. Globally, I think there should be [-] million...!"

Well, the big guy is numb anyway, as if you can say as much as you like, of course, this is also a good gimmick, you can write a good article when you go back, whether it is ridicule or ridicule, It doesn't matter if you despise it or something. In short, there must be someone who is willing to watch it.

If someone is willing to watch it, it means sales, and if there is sales, it means money.

Who would have trouble with money?

Nicole Kidman next to her couldn't bear it any longer. She secretly pulled him from the audience and said softly, "Stop bragging. If the box office is too bad, you will be in trouble!"

Even the director Marshall smiled helplessly: "At first I thought it was okay, good guy. Now that you say that, I feel so stressed. I feel like I don't need to sleep these days anymore!"

"No, no, what I said is sincere, you have to believe that your work is really good, and then you also have to believe in my vision!"

His vision comes from Kaitianyan.

In the original time and space, "Pretty Woman" was placed in the very dull March schedule, and it won less than 1.8 million US dollars in North America, and then, it was almost 4.68 million in the world.

Then, after changing a good schedule, and he, a very popular boss, brought goods, and various fans bought tickets for a while, I believe that an extra 2000 million should be no problem.

Even if it is not, it is only 1.8 million or even a little less than the original time and space, that's okay, after all, it is not too much away from [-] million, and it is an absolute hit, so when the time comes, no one will say If he brags or something, he will say that he is amazing, which is just a little bit worse.

Then he answered several questions. Han Sheng didn't want to embarrass the crew, so he took the initiative to throw the topic to Marshall and the others.

For example, during the preparatory process, we encountered the problem of not being able to obtain sponsorship for luxury cars, various expenses for jewelry and clothing, such as various castings for male and female protagonists, various interesting events during filming, and so on.

Slowly heat up the venue, get more topics, and make it wider, so that the publicity will be richer. If it is too monotonous, it will be easily consumed, and then ignored and forgotten.

"Vincent, rumor has it that your screenplay was inspired by the rainbow district around Times Square? Can you be more specific?"

"Anyone who has been to Manhattan knows this!" Han Sheng laughed.

"We don't know!" Someone booed in the crowd, "We are serious people!"

Han Sheng was speechless, "What I meant was to see it, not to let you go in and enjoy it!" Then amidst laughter, he continued: "Many people know that I worked in the crew of "The Phantom of the Opera" before, and "The Phantom of the Opera" The Majestic Theater where The Phantom is located is right next to Times Square, and when I go to work from school, I always go to Times Square by car, so it can be said that those days passed by several times a day."

"Then you haven't been in before, you should be very popular, right?" Someone else booed.

Han Sheng waved his hand, "It's because they are welcomed, not rejected, so I occasionally think that they should also look forward to love, or meet their Prince Charming or something like that.

By the way, the chicken girl is just a status representative. What I really want to express is the girls and even the boys at the bottom. Even if they live a very difficult life, they still look forward to the sunny tomorrow and a bright future.

It's like when my life was very difficult before, I will try my best to live...! "

The reporters didn't care about his elevating the theme, and some people applauded.

Later, someone asked Nicole Kidman, "Miss Nicole Kidman, I heard that you got this role because you are Vincent's girlfriend?"

Nicole Kidman is already very proficient at this kind of question, "We are indeed friends, but the role thing is just because I am suitable!"

Marshall next to him also praised: "Nicole's performance is really outstanding, and everyone will know after watching the movie. By the way, I think she has a chance to win an Oscar...!"

Good guy, I said before that the box office was [-] million, but now I want to talk about winning an Oscar.

You guys are a romantic comedy, Oscar and those old men don't want to see you guys.

But they didn't know that in the original time and space, Julia Roberts, whose performance was worse than Nicole Kidman's, was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress, and then won the Golden Globe for Best Actress. This time is not a nomination.

So, then Marshall was a little guilty of doing what he was told.

Han Sheng was quite confident.

The only problem is that Nicole Kidman is not American. This may require more public relations fees.

……

After the press conference for the premiere, Han Sheng said that the box office in North America was at least [-] million, and it was quickly spread through various TVs and magazines. After that, the industry generally scoffed.

You, Vincent, are a singer. If you make a record and boast that it will sell for [-] million, the big guys will just bow their heads and admit it. But you are not familiar with movies at all, and now you just wrote a notebook.

Moreover, the director is Marshall, who was killed in the last movie.

Then, the heroine of the movie is an Australian, and even this woman is your Vincent's little lover, that is to say, this is more like a movie that you just fooled around for the sake of your little lover.

Good guy, you dare to blow [-] million, you have to show some face.

As a result, various film critics began to dispatch.

Film critics are the uncrowned kings of the film industry in this era. Although Warner has given a lot of money, but there are too many people, it is definitely impossible to cover everything. They will only give it to big bosses and the like.

Early the next morning, the market was buzzing, and various film critics began to complain.

Karina of the "New York Times" looked mocking, "Is this a love story? Vincent is sure he knows what love is. This is a money story. Movies about luxury life of famous brands, uh, Vincent is quite rich now, is this a portrayal of his own life?
"Entertainment Weekly"'s Greiberman also said: "The theme of this movie pretends to be about love beyond money, but in fact, it is to promote money first, power first, love, oh, it's just a vassal, like Like a rooster girl, she comes when she is called, and goes away when she is called...!"

There are also vicious ones, such as the "San Francisco Morning Post", then just say, "Oh, chicken girls can have love, and even upper-class people will fall in love with her, are you sure you are not kidding me, or are you really Do you understand those high society people?"

In short, just like the original time and space, there are a lot of people spraying it.

However, the same as the original time and space, or better than the original time and space, the box office exploded.

Steve Ross, the chairman of Warner Bros., personally called Han Sheng, "Hahahaha, Vincent, the box office is out. Guess how many there are?"

Han Sheng hates people making him guess.

But for the sake of Steve Ross, he endured it and said casually, "Is there 500 million?"

Well, Steve Ross obviously got stuck for a while, and then said, "You really dare to guess, you dare to guess 500 million on the first day, but we think we should celebrate when we have 300 million!"

"Mr. Steve Ross, I said that the box office in North America is 500 million. If there is no [-] million on the first day, then I will be very disappointed...!"

"Hahahahaha, well, although I don't want to admit it, I really thought you were bragging!" Steve Ross was in a great mood.

Then the mystery was revealed, "We had 582 million on the first day, which is a very explosive result. Of course, I have to say that you are credited with bringing the goods, and your fans are still very enthusiastic.

Anyway, I have already called the representatives of the theater chain, and asked them to arrange to expand the theater chain and increase the number of screens as soon as possible... However, they said that it will be next week at the earliest, you know! "

Of course I know, my ability to bring goods is too strong, they must be worried that it might only explode like that on the first day, and then what to do if it shrinks later.

So, Han Sheng smiled, "No problem, anyway, I am quite optimistic about this movie. After all, this is the script I wrote, isn't the edited version I finalized?"

Well, you won, Steve Ross can only be silent about Han Sheng's arrogance.

……

As soon as the box office came out, the film critics who had been very happy before were dumbfounded.

Damn it, this plot is wrong, what the hell, you don't play the cards according to the routine.

It's an ordinary movie, but it's full of flaws, why do you have such a high box office.

It must be the credit of Han Sheng's fans, it must be like this.

As a result, film critics began to complain again, saying that Han Sheng was too utilitarian and let fans watch bad movies for money.

However, no matter how happy they sprayed, no matter how violent they were, it was useless.

On the second day, the box office was 613 million, good guy, it has exceeded 1000 million in two days.

Then on the third day, it was 529 million, and the score for the three days on the weekend was 1724 million.

Damn, this is the era when more than 1000 million in three days on a weekend means a blockbuster. Good guy, "Pretty Woman" is almost approaching 2000 million. What the hell is going to make those film critics live.

Well, it’s just those film critics who gave bad reviews, and there are many who took money to say good things. This time it’s a carnival. They took the opportunity to criticize their opponents, called them trash, and then sang praises to Han Sheng.

The film critics who gave negative reviews are still not convinced, and they insist that it is the credit of the fans.

Then he also gave an example that "The White-headed Detective", which was released at the same time, was very good. Even if it was suppressed maliciously, it still won a weekend box office of 931 million. Without the help of fans next week, it will definitely counterattack.

They even felt that even "The Lonely Rich Man", which was ranked third, might overwhelm bad films like "Pretty Woman".

Not to mention the blockbuster "Dragon Brothers and Rat Brothers", which will be released next weekend.

However, they were disappointed. Although "Pretty Woman" did not achieve the growth against the trend like the original time and space, the box office was 1123 million in the first weekend, and 1248 million in the second week, which bucked the trend and increased by almost 10%.

This time and space, the first weekend was 1724 million, and the next week was 1681 million, a drop of less than 5.00%.

Although it is due to the change from more than 1800 theaters to 2500 theaters, this is still the shattered glasses of film critics all over the place.

Boy, now they can't spray anymore.

It's useful to spray again, it feels like when Han Sheng first debuted, all kinds of sprays, but in the end it just increased the topic and popularity of him.

Then, at this time, all the crew members can feel relieved.

Not to mention anything else, just the box office of these ten days is enough to recover the cost. Their production cost is only 1200 million.

Now the box office is 3405 million.

Nicole Kidman is naturally the happiest.

The box office is so explosive, that means she is popular, and then there is Oscar, Han Sheng is not just talking, he has already spent money on public relations for her, and there is still a lot of hope.

So, even in broad daylight, they all lay directly in his arms:
"Thank you, honey, you really are the one for me!"

Not only said, but also very passionately, the kiss fell on Han Sheng's face and neck like raindrops...

"It misses you, it's drooling!"

"Wow……"

……

In the second week, "Pretty Woman" with a strong posture that hardly fell, overwhelmed the newly released "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother" and the hit films "The White-Headed Detective", "The Lonely Rich Man", etc., once again won the weekly box office After winning the championship, even the hard-spoken film critics can't say anything more.

This also means that "Pretty Woman" has completely won.

Next, just wait for it to slowly harvest a lot of small money in the movie theater.

Of course, this process will be very long. In the original time and space, "Pretty Woman" stayed in theaters for 40 weeks, and this time and space must be similar.

There is no way around this. What is important in this year is the long-term and long-term sales.

Of course, this is also a big hit movie, and you can only get the treatment if it is a blockbuster. If it is a bad movie, or a movie that cannot be sold, it will take you offline in three to five days or a week or two.

It's very simple, theaters are there to make money.

The first movie, or the first movie script, and then he personally participated in the final editing and other post-production movies is such a big hit, if you add the "Jurassic Park" that he was spotted by Spielberg before , What does that mean, it means that Han Sheng is also super awesome in movies.

Even if he is not the lead actor!

Dude, the impact is immediate.

Warner's Steve Ross called again himself, "Vincent, you must come and see the final cut of "Leaping Childhood", this is your book, you know what it should be like best, and then, You also have half of the interest...!"

"Mr. Steve Ross, I only have half of the producer's interest, and I have nothing to do with distribution!" Han Sheng would not be too polite to vampires like them.

The final editing can be discussed, but there is also money to be paid, he will not do it for free.

To put it bluntly, it was a loss for the other party to participate in half of the investment in "Leaping Childhood". It was for the friendship with Morgado, and it was also the return for the other party to release the record for him.

However, the rewards are limited and cannot give you unlimited benefits.

Otherwise, your Warner face will be too big.

Steve Ross is also an old fox, he said haha, "I understand, I understand, you are very busy now, after all, you are about to release a new single, this Morgado will definitely help you with all your strength!"

Morgado is Morgado, that's a Warner Music thing.

Now that's a Warner Bros. thing, two different things.

"Okay, I understand!" Steve Ross agreed, but suddenly changed the topic, "I heard that you still have several new scripts or projects in hand, what is it called "Home Alone" , "The Love of Ghosts" and the like!"

Han Sheng laughed, "Dear Mr. Steve Ross, can we finish "Leaping Innocence" first!"

"That's already finished, just waiting for you to check it out!"

Steve Ross didn't have any temper in front of Han Sheng. It's very simple. Han Sheng is Warner's God of Wealth. This year, Han Sheng brought Warner Music Group nearly 3 million dollars in revenue and nearly 1.5 million dollars in profits.

Then, judging from the current market of "Pretty Woman", [-] million dollars in North America is really no problem, as for the world, it depends on the situation.

Then, once it is realized, it means that excluding the share of the theaters, the share to Warner will be close to [-] million dollars. Of course, this is revenue, and it has to be divided with Han Sheng and the like.

However, this already shows that Han Sheng is super profitable.

So, let alone lose your temper, you can just be your own father and provide for him.

Just thinking about the new album of Mariah Carey, the so-called diva-level rookie that Han Sheng will soon support, and Han Sheng's own second album next year, Steve Ross feels that all the politeness is worth it.

Now he was thinking about how to tie Han Sheng tighter.

"It's almost Christmas now, and it's time for us to talk about next year's plans. Don't worry, bring your notebook here. This place is definitely A-level treatment. We are willing to accept even whatever you say. You know, whether it is I am still Morgado, so it must be all towards you...!"

Well, anyway, there is no distribution channel of its own now.

And whether it's Steve Ross or Morgado, it's really not bad.

So he nodded, "That's fine, when I settle the payment for my new batch of records in a few days, I'll talk to you guys by the way...!"

December is here, and another quarter has passed. Whether it is a novel or a record, there is a new round of settlement.

It also means that Han Sheng can get a small amount of money again.

Although he is not lacking now.

But who would dislike a lot of money for a small amount of money?

As for Steve Ross, although Han Sheng is asking for money, as long as he can chat and continue to cooperate, he needs money if he wants money, and it doesn't matter.

……

"Congratulations, kid!" Spielberg also called after the second week's box office came out, "To be honest, I didn't expect the box office to explode like that. OK, but not particularly good!"

Han Sheng laughed, but he didn't exaggerate at this time, "Haha, I didn't expect it to be so high. At first, I thought it was about 1000 million in the first week, and a little less in the second week...!"

This is of course not the truth, but he can't say that he has opened his eyes and knows everything.

What's more, this is not based on the box office trend of the original time and space.

On the contrary, his fans are really strong, they rushed so much, and now they have almost 1000 million more box office.

"No matter what, I'm not talking about winners and losers, but a good box office shows that you know what the audience likes to watch. This is a very remarkable talent," Spielberg praised him without hesitation.

Han Sheng was modest at this time, saying that he was probably lucky.

Spielberg naturally doesn't think so, his records are so popular, his novels are so popular, these all belong to the category of "content", and he can do well, and then the first movie exploded, plus his If you are optimistic about "Jurassic Park", it proves that Han Sheng is really talented, and it is not an accidental fluke.

In this case, he was so relieved and praised so much, Han Sheng took advantage of the situation and said; "I still have a few notebooks here, and Mr. Steve Ross from Warner also talked about this just now, so I wondered if it was your Amblin Entertainment can also be involved...!"

In addition to "Home Alone" and "Ghost Love", he also has two scripts, one is "Dances with Wolves" and the other is "The Silence of the Lambs".
The latter two are both adapted from novels, but the former, Han Sheng, took the lead and came up with the script first, and the original author of "Dances with Wolves" is also a screenwriter, and it was originally a novel written based on the script. Jurassic Park has the same meaning.

But "The Silence of the Lambs" is also this year's novel, but it is the second in a series of novels, so there is no way around this.

Han Sheng had no choice but to ask Victoria to buy the film adaptation rights for $50 through other channels.

$50 is already a top adaptation fee these days.

However, if the production cost of 1500 million US dollars in the original time and space is used to win a box office of nearly 3 million US dollars, this is super value.

The above four films are Han Sheng's film plans for next year.

For a big company, this is easy, but for his current situation as a simple movie studio, it is very difficult.

Moreover, this must be completed next year, and there will be more and more in the next year, so he must find more collaborators.

Since you are looking for a partner, you must be looking for your own people, such as Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment. As for Warner, it would be nice to have more roles as a publisher, at most one movie.

Then, Amblin Entertainment gave one, and the remaining two were his own.

In this way, he can barely keep busy.

After all, next year, there's a new Mariah Carey album, a new album by Jen, and a new album by himself, and so on.

There may even be a new Shania Twain album coming out!

Besides that, the second book in the Harry Potter series is supposed to be published.

Then there was A Song of Ice and Fire and so on.

In short, he was very busy just now, not to mention that he still has medical school courses, so giving some benefits is also a choice he has to make.

What's more, giving benefits can also attract more people and make more contacts.

He also has no shortage of ways to make money. The money in front of him is small money. The information industry revolution that will come soon is the beginning of the crazy money making. It is an industry that can easily reach trillions.

And it's hard for a movie to earn [-] million dollars!
