Hollywood Starts with Animation
Chapter 65: New CEO of UPN
In a blink of an eye, it was another Monday.
Ten days have passed since the movie "Juneo" was released.
"Boss, this is the box office data of various North American movies last weekend." Victor handed Zhuke a copy of the data.
"啧啧啧~!"
Zhuke looked at the box office data in his hand and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Star Trek: The First Strike" directed by Jonathan Frakes, also known as the first contact, won 30.71 million box office on the first day of the show last Friday, and the cumulative box office for the first three days of the first weekend was more than 54 million US dollars. , Won the North American box office championship last weekend;
"Santa Bean" produced and released by 20th Century Fox also began to be screened last Friday, with a box office of 12.11 million US dollars on the day of the premiere, and a total of 30.5 million US dollars in the box office for three days on weekends, ranking second;
The movie "Juneo", after winning the North American box office last weekend, it reaped another $22 million in box office in three days last weekend.
"Ten days in theaters, the cumulative total box office was 108 million U.S. dollars."
"On the North American box office rankings last weekend, ranked third."
Zhu Ke, in a state of self-confidence, is satisfied with the box office performance of "Juneo", after all, this is a self-produced movie.
Of course, there are also regrets.
"If it weren't for Warner's ambassador, the box office of "Juneo" would have exceeded 120 million U.S. dollars." Zhu Ke was slightly upset.
"British Patient", "Space Dunk", "Ransom Storm", "Mr. Sweetheart" and other films, ranked 4/5/6/7.
"Oh, right."
Suddenly, Zhuke seemed to have thought of something, so he said, "Victor, you will focus on Disney's "101 Dalmatians" these days. It should be released in two days. I think its box office may be very popular. , You must continue to make a second publicity of Juno in a targeted manner."
101 Dalmatians?
"I see, boss."
Although Victor was a little confused, he still firmly supported Zhu Ke's decision.
"101 Dalmatians" is actually a small-cost movie. It was originally an animated film made by Disney more than a decade ago, but now it's a live-action remake.
Ten-million-dollar small-cost movies are also large-scale films gathered during the Christmas period, so many companies in Hollywood don't care too much.
But.
They don't care, but Zhu Ke takes it very seriously.
Man, that was "101 Dalmatians", which was ranked 6th in the annual box office rankings in 1996. It scored 33.5 million U.S. dollars on the day of its premiere.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhuke attaches importance to it.
The targeted announcement of "Juneo" is enough to make the movie get a good box office. Otherwise, being beaten in an ambush will definitely have a huge impact on the box office.
"Victor, don't be too busy today. It's Christmas anyway, dear~!"
Yes, today is Christmas.
Wald Pictures except for some of the employees who need to stay behind, everyone else is on vacation, so Zhuke didn't stay too much today. After a few words with Victor, he left.
came home alone.
"Christmas, **** fucking~!"
Yes, Zhuke is quite unhappy about Christmas Eve and Christmas.
Seeing other people's family happily and happily together, but here, there is only one person. Even his little girlfriend Lima returned to Brazil for Christmas to reunite with his family. Moreover, even Sun Lei and Zhao Wushuang, the two bodyguards, Zhu Ke gave them a vacation.
It stands to reason that Zhu Ke has been an orphan for both his life, and he should have been used to being alone.
Because I am alone all the year round, I always envy those who have families on days like the "Spring Festival".
Dingdong~!
At this moment, the doorbell of Zhu Ke's house rang.
"Who? Is it Lima coming back?!"
The nanny, gardener and others in the villa are now on vacation because of Christmas. Zhuke had no choice but to open the door himself, and he was a little excited when he thought that it might be Lima.
However...
Zhuke regretted a little when the door of the villa opened!
The person greeted by Zhuke's old residence, James Sean, is impressive.
"Hi, my dear old buddy, is it surprising and touched to see me?!"
While James spoke, he embraced Zhuke enthusiastically.
Zhuke pushed him away disgustingly: "You **** fellow, I was a fart by accident? Still moved? Why didn't you come yesterday?"
In fact, Zhuke is also stiff mouth.
Someone came to see him today, but it was actually a bit touched.
James did not answer the question head-on, but pointed to a position not far away on the right.
Not far away, it was a little girl who was under 10 years old, pushing a lady in a wheelchair, and walking slowly.
"Hi, dear Lily, and Auntie Alice, Merry Christmas~!"
The people here are amazingly James' long-paralyzed mother and his lovely sister.
Zhuke gave the two of them a soft hug.
Lily said with a sullen voice: "Zuke, I blamed my brother for being bad. Yesterday, my mother and I told him to take us over to find you early, but it was not until the afternoon that he decided to drive over, but who knew he had encountered a heavy snowfall? Road closure..."
Lily’s words made Zhuke's heart warm immediately.
Humans, after all, are social animals!
Alice Alice also smiled: "Zuke, this is the sweater I knit for you, do you like it?"
"Thank you! This is the best Christmas present I have received this year." Zhuke gently hugged Alice Alice again.
In the following time, it is warm and warm.
...
...
A few days after Christmas.
Wald Pictures officially resumed work.
"Boss, you are so prescient."
CEO Victor looked at Zhu Ke and immediately praised him loudly.
He can't help but not flatter, it is really Zhuke's vision is extremely sharp.
"101 Dalmatians" is a movie with a cost of tens of millions. Who knew that during the Christmas period, under the siege of various blockbuster films, it broke out unparalleled box office potential. It was released in just 3 days and received 70 million US dollars. Box office results.
It can be said that it shocked the jaws of many people!
"Boss, if we hadn't carried out targeted publicity work in time, our movie box office would definitely have suffered an avalanche drop in the past few days!" Victor explained.
4.2 million, 4.01 million, 3.89 million...
The box office of "Juneo" seems to be not high these days, but during the Christmas period when the big movies are gathered, and under the pressure of "101 Dalmatians", which ranked 6th in the annual box office rankings in 1996, it has been able to get such a box office. It is not easy.
As for other movies of major companies, it's a bit miserable!
Who made them ignore "101 Dalmatians"?
Especially the "Space Slam Dunk" starring the old gangster Jordan. In the past few days, the box office data has suffered an avalanche decline. After three days of accumulation, only a box office of less than one million dollars was harvested.
The old gangster is already crying~!
at the same time.
in a coffee shop near Universal Studios.
Zhuke commissioned a head of a headhunting company to communicate with a 35-year-old woman in front of him.
"You said, you represent Mr. Wald, the boss of UPN Television Network, to hire me as the new CEO of UPN Television Network?" The middle-aged lady issued a question~www.wuxiaspot.com~At this moment, this middle-aged lady is very Doubts.
Someone came to dig her?
You must know that although she is very confident and confident to make a fortune in Hollywood, she is currently only a very ordinary producer in Universal Pictures.
Being the CEO of even a small TV network is not where she is currently, but it is comparable.
"Yes, I just accepted Mr. Wald's entrustment. You can rest assured that Mr. Wald will bear the penalty for your contract with Universal Pictures without any worries."
"Moreover, Mr. Wald also promised that as long as your work progresses to allow UPN to rise, he will give you corresponding option rewards!"
The head of the headhunting company solemnly said.
The salary is in place, and there are options rewards. The most important thing is that there is a platform for her to play, how can she refuse.
Finally, the middle-aged lady accepted the invitation and decided to become the new CEO of UPN.
Her name is: Donna Langlei.
In Hollywood in the 90s, not many people might know her, but if after 2013, no one in Hollywood would not know her!
You know, after 2013, she took up the post of president of Universal Pictures, one of the six major Hollywood studios.
"Fast and Furious 7", "Jurassic Century", "Little Yellow Man with Big Eyes", "Fifty Shades of Grey", "The Secret Life of Pets", "The Hunter" and many other well-known films are all in her Produced and issued under the guidance. In one fell swoop, Universal Pictures, which had been declining in Hollywood for several years, was rejuvenated.
She is the future Hollywood boss!
Zhuke is not poaching her now, when will he wait? !
