I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 643
[Chapter 637: Charlie’s True Identity]
“Charlie’s Angels not only provided fans with a hot pink visual feast, but also left us with a lot of interesting hidden details. We can also see a completely different from the TV series from the whole film. The characters and world settings can be imagined. This is the ambitious producer who is laying the groundwork for the sequel
. When the new black figure is the new James Bond, when the gossip magazine is entangled in whether the Lucine Baker played by Penelope Cruz has an Electra complex, when the young geeks are busy researching the end of the film. In that real and complex exhaustive algorithm, many people may have overlooked a very secret detail.”
“Three minutes into the film, Morgan Freeman’s contact John seems to be casual when he ‘blackmails’ Lucy. Said: ‘Give you a minute, drive to the Malibu, or I’ll hand you over to the police with these photos’. Then, after watching the entire film, we can’t see any more about the Malibu The film did not explain why John asked Lucini to drive the Buick to Malibu. After investigation, it was found that the real Malibu city does not have the resident number. Then, this very abrupt dialogue It seems to be a redundant plot that is completely useless.”
“But is this really the case? As we all know, the plot of “Charlie’s Angels” is very rigorous, and the producers are even more refined in terms of details, even if it is a genius. The program code that the girl Jill Monroe entered in the final plot is said to have been written by Steve Mitnick, the chief technical officer of Yahoo Networks. Then, according to this idea, in the most important opening stage of the movie , there is absolutely no chance of a meaningless conversation.”
“After much searching by reporters in this magazine, we finally discovered the ‘real face’ of the Malibu. Perhaps many readers have noticed the striking shell-shaped villa photo in the illustration in this article, and made relevant guesses. That’s right, The so-called Malibu. It is Eric Williams’ luxury private manor in Malibu. According to clues provided by many insiders, although the resident number of the sharp corner manor is not a number, Eric Williams The Jiaojiao Manor has been called the number more than once, and we have also found the most intuitive evidence. In a project document of the architectural design company responsible for the Jiaojiao Manor project, the code name for the ‘Free City’ villa project is No.”
“We will not discuss why Selena Gartler, played by Kate Beckinsale, allows herself to indulge herself in the brutal and deadly fights in the underground boxing ring again and again, and do not go after Selena and Selena. What kind of changes happened to the former partners? These behind-the-scenes stories are likely to be plots that may appear in the prequel or the biography. The first thing to do, of course, is to meet his boss. Although this mysterious person has not revealed his true face, according to this logic, John’s purpose of letting Lucini drive to the ‘fictional’ number is obtained. Explanation. At least, in this film, the identity of the owner of the number is undoubtedly implying that Charlie Townsend is behind the detective company who has not appeared in the entire film. And according to the ‘number’ that does exist in the real world, we do not Hard to find. The ubiquitous Charlie Townsend in the movie is undoubtedly Eric Williams’ incarnation in “Charlie’s Angels.
”
“Perhaps Eric Williams, who wrote the “Charlie’s Angels” movie, set This little plot is just on a whim, but when we turn our attention to today’s Hollywood, many people will be surprised to find that the young teenager who made a blockbuster with “Home Alone” six years ago, if you are already like “Charlie’s Angels”. The ubiquitous Charlie Townsend in ” is average, and his influence spreads across most of Hollywood, and this influence is even more vividly expressed in this summer’s film.”
“Starting at the end of May, all the box-office hits “Saving Private Ryan,” “True Lies,” “The Lion King,” and “Charlie’s Angels,” whether produced or not by Firefly Group, have been released. More or less with the personal imprint of Eric Williams. And the upcoming “Dumb and Dumber 2” and “Men in Black” two summer closing masterpieces are also from Eric Williams The hand of the new Hollywood tycoon has already covered Firefly, MGM, Columbia and Fox among the seven major studios, and this horror has more influence than almost any one in Hollywood’s 100-year history Movie tycoon. Because this miraculous young tycoon is currently under the age of twenty-five, it is not difficult to make an assumption. Perhaps one day, Eric Williams will completely unify Hollywood and become a worthy of the name. The King of Hollywood.”
Eric put this article, which had been reprinted by many newspapers just two days after its appearance, on his desk, shook his head and smiled, and continued to read other materials.
After a week of screening, “Charlie’s Angels” easily won more than ten thousand dollars at the box office.
Although the box office is not comparable to the previous weeks of “The Mummy”, “Saving Private Ryan” and other films, the buzz created by this female action blockbuster is far greater than last month’s several top-selling films.
?Look at a book??w?ww??1?k?an?sh?u?
The reason why “Charlie’s Angels” is low at the box office is not that the summer boom has passed, and it is definitely not affected by factors such as film layout or film quality. Just as Buffett said at the screening that he didn’t understand some of the plots, because the movie involved many high-tech plots that the elderly and children could not understand, “Charlie’s Angels” did not attract audiences of all ages, but it was really these The cool, high-tech plot has made the movie’s main audience a 14- to 28-year-old teenage audience, and it has created an extraordinary influence in this group.
Moreover, because of its high reputation and hot topic, the box office of “Charlie’s Angels” on the second Sunday not only did not fall compared to the first week, but instead experienced the first reverse drop in the box office in the summer of 1994. The box office statistics agency predicts that “Charlie’s Angels” The box office of Charlie’s Angels is likely to exceed 10,000 dollars in the next week, and it will hardly be difficult to break through 100 million every two weeks.
“Charlie’s Angels” is also very popular in some overseas box office markets released at the same time as North America, especially in Japan, which is released at the same time. As a country where comics are popularized, Selena, a cartoon-like bandaged girl in the film, is full of imagery. , which directly makes a lot of Japanese manga otaku boil.
The film’s week in Japan even came close to North America, reaching $10,000.
And then in the “Charlie’s Angels” sold in Japan, several of Selena’s live-action figures have been continuously out of stock.
In just one week, Kate, who was originally unknown, became the most popular western actress in Japan.
A large number of cooperation and endorsement invitations have flown to ibsp; with the excellent performance of “Charlie’s Angels”, MGM has finally escaped the brink of bankruptcy.
European investors, who are expected to get a good return, are also rejoicing. After the weekly box office of “Charlie’s Angels” was released, the two sides couldn’t wait to contact Eric, hoping to start preparations for the sequel as soon as possible.
at the same time.
Two other companies, completely unrelated to the film industry, have also reaped unexpected benefits.
Within a week of the film’s release, Yahoo’s online mailbox users increased by 10,000 within seven days due to the strong advertising effect of the film. These users are basically new Internet users with very high gold content.
The daily average number of visits to Yahoo’s portal also saw a sharp rise in a short period of time.
On July 1, the instant messaging software officially launched by Yahoo Network reached a terrifying exponential growth rate. Taking advantage of the popularity of “Charlie’s Angels”, this very fashionable and avant-garde remote chat software in this era will be available within a week. The number of users exceeded 10,000. Although sufficient estimates and preparations were made in advance, this time Yahoo still failed to successfully withstand the huge data flow pressure caused by the surge in users. There was a brief server downtime on the evening of July 5th. event.
Although it is inevitable to be ridiculed by several high-tech giants who are competing for the title of ‘the world’s largest data processing center’, it does not stop users’ enthusiasm for use.
Another company that has benefited is undoubtedly Buick Motor Company.
The Buick sedan, which originally focused on business models and was not too popular with young people, more than doubled its sales within a week of the release of “Charlie’s Angels” compared with the previous week. Except for the Buick Boulevard that appeared many times in the movie, Buick’s The sales of several other models of Buick have seen a substantial increase. With the influence of “Charlie’s Angels”, Buick has not only opened up the young consumer market that has not been able to make progress, but also expected car sales in the second half of 1994. The amount will be increased by at least %.
It is worth mentioning that Buick is different from Lamborghini and Ferrari, which can only sell a few thousand units a year.
In the 1980s, the global sales of this mid-range brand under the General Motors Group exceeded 10,000 units, and the annual sales reached tens of billions of dollars. Therefore, it is conceivable that the % increase in performance will bring Buick a huge additional profit. .
At first.
Buick barely paid the 10,000 implant fee just by seeing the line “Don’t you think Buick’s ‘Three Shields’ logo is cool?” that was specially added in the movie.
But after the film was released, the president of Buick Motors immediately contacted MGM, who was in charge of the film company, and said that they would spend an additional US$10,000 to jointly promote the film. This kind of treatment could only be enjoyed by the series in the past.
Buick’s competitors Ford, Chevrolet and even Japan’s Toyota, Honda and other car brands also contacted the producers one after another in an attempt to win the exclusive brand implantation rights for the sequel to “Charlie’s Angels”.
The sound of knocking on the office door woke Eric from the ecstasy of reading the material.
After agreeing, the door was gently pushed open, Eric watched the female assistant in a professional suit walk in, smiled and raised the “Hollywood Reporter” that he had just read, and asked with a smile, “Kay Li, do you think I can unify Hollywood?”
“From the perspective of anti-monopoly law, this is impossible,” Kelly said, holding a stack of documents and sitting down opposite Eric, “But from the From the perspective of miracles, it is not necessarily.”
Eric said: “I can hear it, you must be praising me with these words, rather than using me as a target like this article, right? ”
Kelly showed a womanly intellectual smile and said, “Yeah, but this article has also helped Firefly a big favor. According to the forecast of the financial department, due to the merger, the Group’s financial report for the first half of the year will need to be postponed until the beginning of next month. “This article has been given the same boost as the beautiful financial report, the impact of the overhaul of the hand-drawn animation division is now minimal, and the sale of all long-term bonds is expected to be completed by the end of the month.”
Eric asked: “Speaking of this, what happened to Peter Schneider and Roy Disney?”
“I came here to tell you this,” Kelly handed a document in her hand to Eric , said: “This is the condition they put forward.”
Eric opened the document and browsed it briefly. In addition to a series of expected requirements such as greatly increasing the salary and department budget of the hand-drawn animation department, Peter Schneider and Luo E. Disney also requires the construction of a Disney animation work park equivalent to Pixar, and enjoys the same power to operate independently as Pixar.
Closing the document, Eric said with a faint sarcasm on his face: “The salary of the employees will be doubled when they speak, and they have no intention of letting this matter end immediately.”
Kelly replied: “Since They chose to team up with Ron Perelman, and Ron Perelman also needs enough time to join the creditors.”
“It just so happens that we also need enough time to make arrangements, “Eric suddenly said with a smile: “This point, they can be regarded as the last contribution to Firefly.”
Kelly felt a little sad for Peter Schneider and Roy Disney, especially Peter . Schneider, the ability of this senior animation department is actually good. If the department reform is carried out according to Eric’s plan, there may be a chance to gain a higher position in the Firefly system in the future.
But now, even if the hand-painted animation department finds a new owner, once his behavior of eating inside and out is revealed, he will definitely be kicked out by the new owner, and Firefly has absolutely no obligation to conceal this matter for Peter Schneider.
