Simon just responded: "Yes."

Those two hands were still doing something wrong, as if they were very interested in the buttons of her shirt, and even tore off one of them.Damn it, new clothes.I knew that I couldn't stop this powerful man, and I really couldn't, but I still continued to express my attitude.

I am unwilling.

She let him play with him helplessly for a while, feeling her body being hugged... Well, when she picked it up, it turned out to be like a robber, so she hammered him a few times in dissatisfaction.

.

How can this be!

Chapter 173 Relay (Revision)

Waking up by the phone ringing in the morning, Simon opened his eyes and found that Catherine was looking at him, with a little confusion and panic after being awakened suddenly.

Simon pulled the woman into his arms, kissed her on the lips, and then reached out to pick up the microphone on the bedside table.

The call was from Pat Kingsley, who was also in New York in recent days as Simon's public relations manager because of the taping of "The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson."The content of Kingsley's phone call was about a piece of gossip that was published in the "Daily News" newspaper in New York today.

"The Palme d'Or judges move into Westeros Cannes mansion".

The fact that Natasha Kinski borrowed from Simon was still picked up. The "Daily News" rendered this matter as a lace news in the article, but it is not difficult to find out after a little thought about the title. The fundamental purpose is to question the fairness of Simon's access to the Palme d'Or.

Simon was not surprised to hear the news.

The competition for the summer film has entered the most intense stage. In recent weeks, more than ten blockbuster new films will be released one after another.Because of the ebb and flow of the box office market, at this time, if you suppress the opponent's momentum, you will be able to gain more market space.

The two were close together, and Catherine could naturally hear the conversation between Simon and Kingsley.After Simon hung up the phone, the emotion in Catherine's eyes had changed, but she still looked at him steadfastly.Obviously, the women's focus is not on the deep meaning of the "Daily News" report.

Simon was watched by Catherine, so he had no choice but to explain: "I have nothing to do with that woman, and she is already married."

Catherine hummed, shed her arms from Simon, and said lightly, "This is Jenny's business, it has nothing to do with me."

Simon smiled and wanted to get closer, but was pushed away by Catherine, so he asked, "What do you want for breakfast?"

Catherine did not answer this question, but said, "You are responsible for mending the buttons on my shirt."

"It seems that there is no needlework at home. You can wear my clothes." Simon sat up and planned to get up. He found his shirt and gestured to the woman, saying, "You must look better in a men's shirt."

Catherine reached out and pushed him, dissatisfied: "People will see."

Regarding the relationship between the two, Simon knew that Catherine was more cautious than himself, so he nodded: "Okay, I will let Neil send some needles and threads later."

After the two had breakfast, Catherine still stayed in the apartment and planned to leave quietly later. Simon rushed to the Westeros headquarters to discuss with James Raybould about taking over New World Entertainment through debt-to-equity swaps.

On the other hand, the report on the "Daily News" was indeed just the beginning, and similar news came from the west coast.The public relations teams of Daenerys Films and Orion also began to enter the venue to guide public opinion.

Under this kind of infighting, the next day, "Pulp Fiction" was officially released in North American theaters. At the same time, Fox Films' "Future of the Future" starring Tom Hanks and Warner Bros.' Chevy Chase Starring in "Funny Farm".

In addition, the North American box office data for the past week has also been released.

With 2837 opening screens, "Crocodile Dundee 2" earned a box office of 3017 million US dollars in the first full week and seven days, easily winning the single-week box office championship.Counting the accumulation of the two days in the previous week, the film's total box office has reached 3492 million US dollars.

However, the word-of-mouth of "Crocodile Dundee 2" is in stark contrast to its massive pre-publicity and large-scale opening screen, and the North American media has almost one-sided negative reviews for this film.

"Variety" magazine commented that "Crocodile Dundee 2" was "too bland as an adventure film, and not many laughs as a comedy".

The New York Times critic's opinion was even more intense: "The default strategy of most sequels is to extract as much as possible from the previous film to give the audience as many elements as they love, and "Crocodile Dundee 2" does the opposite like an idiot. Well, it drops pretty much everything that was eye-catching about the first film, and it comes across as mediocre and uninteresting."

Although the media reputation of "First Blood 3" starring Stallone is better than that of "Crocodile Dundee 2", it is only relatively speaking.

Moreover, with the same large-scale 2562 opening screens, the box office revenue of "First Blood 3", a sequel film that invested a huge production cost of 6300 million US dollars, was comparable to that of "Crocodile Dundee 2" in the first two days, but In the first full week, the box office was quickly left behind by the opponent. In seven days, the box office earned 2017 million U.S. dollars, and the cumulative box office was 2463 million U.S. dollars.

No. 3 on the list, "The Gathering of Wind and Cloud" dropped by only 16% in the second week, and received another US$926 million.However, due to a weak start, the cumulative box office of "The Wind and Cloud" in two weeks was only 2032 million US dollars.

"When Harry Met Sally" still ranked fourth. It continued to earn 12 million US dollars in the 332th week of its release, with a cumulative box office of 9755 million, only one step away from breaking [-] million.

Compared with the previous "Crocodile Dundee 2" and several other new films, the three films released on June 6 have a very good reputation.

Tom Hanks' "Flying Through the Future" can be said to be the famous work of this Hollywood superstar, and the original time and space also brought him his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor.Chevy Chase, a veteran comedy star, also received a lot of praise for "Funny Farm".

However, neither of these two new films is completely invincible in the face of "Pulp Fiction", which is destined to enter the annals of cinema.

The Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

The popularity of Robert De Niro, John Travolta, Robert Redford, Madonna, Sean Penn and other big names joined.

Simon has accumulated a huge fan base since "Run Lola Run".

The super hot topics brought about by praise and controversy.

All these factors make "Pulp Fiction" the most watched movie of the summer.

Obviously in order to curb the momentum of "Pulp Fiction", with the release of the film, some media simply provoked the controversy that Simon won the Palme d'Or, and unabashedly questioned the possible award insider at the Cannes Film Festival that just passed.

Faced with these doubts, Cannes officials had to respond publicly again.

Naturally, the media would not give up easily. The fact that Natasha Kinski borrowed Simon's mansion was soon fired up as one of the most important insider evidences.

Because this incident was connected with lace news, Natasha Kinski's husband, a wealthy Egyptian businessman, also got involved and rushed to the Cannes Le Cannes district in person to bring his wife home. Kinski was obviously not going to give in easily.

The two were already separated. After being rejected, the wealthy Egyptian businessman felt ashamed and publicly announced that he would divorce Natasha Kinski.

With such a commotion, things suddenly became more lively.

Simon Westero not only lures the judges to manipulate awards, but also destroys other people's families, which is simply unbearable to look at.

just.

Before the media chasing this incident had time to concoct more "slamming news", things suddenly turned 180 degrees.

On June 6, Natasha Kinski, who was surrounded by countless tabloid reporters flocking from all over the world to the point of annoyance, suddenly declared to the following reporters during a shopping trip that she was not involved in the awards process. Instead of supporting "Pulp Fiction," she voted for "A Quarantined World."

As soon as the woman's remarks came out, all the media chasing this matter immediately went 'WTF'.

Can this be done? !

The selection of the Cannes Film Festival does not have the rigorous voting procedures of the Oscars. Sometimes, if the judges can reach a verbal agreement, the award can be determined without voting at all.However, in the past session, the voting process was started due to differences of opinion among the judges.

Natasha Kinski publicly stated that the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival, which had been bombarded by the media, immediately found the voting card from the archives of the festival that had just been sealed.Because it was a voting card with her name written directly on it, and Natasha Kinski's handwriting was also very recognizable. Sure enough, this woman voted for "A World in Quarantine".

Confirming this, the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival breathed a sigh of relief and immediately published a photocopied copy of Natasha Kinski's voting card in the newspaper.

The famous Italian director Itto Scola, who served as the judge of the previous main competition unit, also publicly stated later that Natasha Kinski was indeed inclined to "A World of Isolation" during the review and discussion process. In the competition for the Palme d'Or, "Vulgar Novel" and "A World in Quarantine" received six to four votes.

The news was announced, and even Simon himself, who had just returned to Los Angeles, was 'WTF'.

Sister, I borrowed your apartment and hired a lot of housekeepers, chefs, servants and drivers for you, and I have to pay the bills. Is it really okay for you to do this?

Knowing this, Janet laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist. By the way, she scorned Simon, who was 'taken for a ride'.

Although the truth makes people a little dumbfounded, the insider doubts that some media have charged up have disappeared in an instant.

After such a tear, the attention of "Pulp Fiction" has increased.Moreover, the overwhelming praise of "Pulp Fiction" from most of the North American media and the word-of-mouth of the film's quality from the audience itself also made things completely reversed.

In the hustle and bustle, on June 6, another week of the summer vacation has passed.

6月3日到6月9日，新旧影片的上映使得这一周的北美票房总额增加到9267万美元。相比起来，此前的5月27日至6月2日一周时间，北美单周总票房只有7387万美元。

The high-profile "Pulp Fiction" has won the first place in the North American box office rankings in the new week without any suspense. With a screen scale of 1569 yuan, the box office in the first week ended at 2753 million US dollars.

Although it failed to reach the $2 million level of "Crocodile Dundee 3017" last week, no one would doubt the strong strength of "Pulp Fiction".

After all, "Crocodile Dundee 2" has 2837 opening screens, while "Pulp Fiction" has only 1569 opening screens.On average, "Crocodile Dundee 2" reached $10636 last week, while "Pulp Fiction" reached $17546.

What's more, "Crocodile Dundee 2" had only one competitor last week, "First Blood 3", and perhaps barely added a box office sluggish "The Wind and Cloud".But this week, "Pulp Fiction" is in a dogfight with four other films, "Futurama," "Funny Farm," "Crocodile Dundee 2" and "First Blood 3."

After "Pulp Fiction", due to poor word-of-mouth and large-scale openings to over-squeeze market potential, "Crocodile Dundee 2" dropped by 41% compared to last week's box office, with a box office of only 1787 million US dollars.

But even so, the opening scale of more than 2800 screens allowed the film's North American box office to easily break through the $5000 million mark.

Ranking No.3 on the list is Fox Films' "Flying to the Future", with a box office of 1259 million US dollars in the first week.Because Fox Films only arranged 1132 opening screens for this new film, this single-week box office report card is not bad.

In Simon's memory, "Flying Over the Future" has achieved over [-] million dollars in North America. If history has not changed, "Flying Over the Future" will have a very good box office curve in the future.

Stallone's "First Blood 3" ranked No.4, with a box office drop even worse than "Crocodile Dundee 2", reaching 47%.According to this decline curve, the total North American box office of "First Blood 1062" may not even be able to reach the production cost of 3526 million US dollars.

Chevy Chase's "Funny Farm" ranked No.5, with a box office of 811 million US dollars in the first week.

"Funny Farm" has 1557 opening screens comparable to "Pulp Fiction", but the single theater in the first week was only a little over 5000 US dollars, less than one-third of "Pulp Fiction".The first film in Warner Bros. Pictures' summer slate was undeniably a dud.

With an opening of US$811 million, even if the subsequent decline curve is better, it is difficult for the total box office in North America to be very high.

Outside the top five, No.6's "The Wind and Cloud" continued to earn US$708 million in the third week of its release, with a cumulative box office of US$2740 million.

Followed by.

榜单No.7的《当哈利遇上莎莉》票房再收266万美元，这部上映已经13周的影片在很多人的期待中终于突破了一亿美元票房大关，总票房达到1亿零21万美元，正式成为1988年度第一部北美票房破亿的电影。

Amidst the discussions brought about by "When Harry Met Sally" broke [-] million at the North American box office, some media suddenly discovered that Daenerys Films successfully completed a box office relay.

"Pulp Fiction" earned a box office of 2753 million US dollars in the first week of its production. The film's reputation, cast and popularity are impeccable. No one doubts that it can easily break through the North American box office threshold of breaking [-] million.

You know, the box office of "When Harry Met Sally" was only 1781 million U.S. dollars in the first week after it was screened, and the first-week results of "Pulp Fiction" almost exceeded that of "When Harry Met Sally" $1000 million.

The North American box office of the two films exceeded [-] million, which is already the same as Simon Westero's performance last year.

Prior to 1987, "Run Lola Run" and "Butterfly Effect" related to Simon both achieved good results at the North American box office of over 7000 million.

only.

Now that 1988 is not halfway through, Simon Westeros has already tied his box office record achieved last year. So, what's next?

"Pulp Fiction" succeeds "When Harry Met Sally" and continues to sprint to the North American box office to exceed [-] million. In the middle of next month, will "Basic Instinct", which is also written by Simon himself, do the same?

After "Basic Instinct", Daenerys Pictures released a list of productions including "Scream", "Rain Man", "Dead Poets Society", "Steel Magnolia" and so on.

Although in the eyes of many people, these films do not sell much, however, Simon Westeros has created too many miracles.

Dare to imagine, if these films continue to relay...

Gee!

Chapter 174 The Final Candidate (Revised)

On June 6th, three new films will be released again in the new week, namely Disney's family comedy "Four Daughters and Two Moms", and Paramount's thriller and suspense film "Psidi Base" starring Sean Connery. " and MGM's sequel to the horror series, "The Haunting 10."

The strategy of questioning the integrity of "Pulp Fiction" at the Cannes Palme d'Or failed, and some media pointed to the film's excessive violence and borrowing from many films.

However, under the background that "Pulp Fiction" has once again formed a movie-watching craze like last year's "Run Lola Run", these off-the-chart tricks will actually only increase people's curiosity about the film.

In all fairness, for most viewers, especially the mainstream teenage viewing group of "Pulp Fiction", it is difficult for them to appreciate the goodness of this film when they are completely free from the influence of external public opinion.However, when "Pulp Fiction" is being discussed by a large number of media around and many classmates and friends, these people often already know about the film and have their own expectations before entering the cinema.

Therefore, countless rich details such as Vincent and Mia's swing dance, the foreshadowing of "The Deer Hunter" in the "Gold Watch" section, Esmeralda and "Taxi Driver" are very interesting, plus With the novel closed loop structure in the plot of the film, the whole film was labeled as 'cool' unconsciously.

Because of the popularity of "Pulp Fiction", the popularity of several celebrities who participated in the film has increased again. Newcomers such as Samuel L. Jackson and Nicole Kidman have also begun to enter the public eye. Minute Janet has become the subject of many media discussions because of the wonderful performance of the female taxi driver Esmeralda. Jonathan Friedman also jokingly asked if Janet is interested in signing with WMA in private.

Under such unstoppable popularity, in the second week of its release, "Pulp Fiction" continued to maintain its position as the weekly box office champion with a drop of only 15%. During the seven days from June 6 to June 10, the film once again earned 6 million US dollars.

In the two weeks since its opening, the North American box office of "Pulp Fiction" has exceeded the US$5000 million mark, reaching US$5091 million.

It easily won the box office of 5000 million US dollars in two weeks. The major North American media and box office statistics agencies generally predict that the total North American box office of "Pulp Fiction" will reach about 1.5 million US dollars, and the film is likely to break the North American box office within six weeks. [-] million.

Coincidentally, the interval between the releases of "Pulp Fiction" and "Instinct" happens to be six weeks.

榜单排行No.2的《鳄鱼邓迪2》在上周41%的大幅下跌后，本周票房跌幅依旧达到31%，再收1235万美元，累计票房6515万美元。

Although it started with a release of more than 3000 million US dollars, according to the current decline trend of the film, the North American box office of "Crocodile Dundee 2" is likely to barely achieve more than 1.74 million US dollars, which is far from being able to compare with the US$[-] million of the first film.

After "Crocodile Dundee 2", "Flying Over the Future" starring Tom Hanks unexpectedly fell only 4.7% in the next week. The box office accumulated a total of 1201 million U.S. dollars in the week.

The North American box office of 2460 million US dollars may not be comparable to "Pulp Fiction" and "Crocodile Dundee 2", but compared with "Funny Farm", which has completely fallen behind to the No. How gratifying is this box office data.

In the second week of its release, the box office of "Funny Farm", which is similar to "Flying Over the Future", dropped by 26%, and only received US$601 million. Including US$811 million in the first week, the cumulative box office in the two weeks was US$1412 million.

According to the decline curve of "Funny Farm", the total North American box office of this film may only be about 2500 million US dollars.

Moreover, if the box office decline in the next few weeks can be as weak as the first week, "Flying to the Future" will obviously hit the North American box office again like the original time and space.Fox, who hadn't expected such a good thing at all, has already started preparing to increase the film schedule.

Except for "Pulp Fiction", "Crocodile Dundee 2" and "Leap to the Future", the performance of other films this week was lackluster. Among the three new films, "Four Daughters and Two Moms" had the best box office figures. $911 million.

After achieving a North American box office of over 10 million last week, "When Harry Met Sally", which has slipped to No. 215 on the list, quietly collected another 1 million U.S. dollars, with a cumulative box office of 236 million U.S. dollars.

Not surprisingly, "When Harry Met Sally" will slip into the million-dollar box office figure next week, and Disney has cut the film's release size to 635 screens.It is estimated that when the film is released in August, the total North American box office of "When Harry Met Sally" will finally be fixed at around 1 million US dollars.

The North American film summer is in full swing, and the Hollywood screenwriter strike is still going on.

On June 6, the Union of Film and Television Producers proposed a new contract again after another tug-of-war. Although this plan made some concessions, it still failed to meet the initial expectations of the Screenwriters Union.

The strike has lasted for more than three months, and the TV autumn schedule is destined to be severely affected, but the life of the screenwriters who have not received any income for a whole season is getting more and more difficult.Therefore, the Screenwriters Guild finally decided to give the choice to the screenwriters themselves, and launched a vote again to decide whether to accept the new contract offered by the Producers Union.
