Exploiting Hollywood 1980 - Chapter 937
Chapter 937 Ronald’s money-making machine
“Dukakis won six states on Donkey Super Tuesday. Gore of Tennessee won five states and Jesse Jackson won four states. The primaries will continue Go on fighting.”
In the business jet lounge at the airport, Ronald and Diane were sitting there waiting, watching the political news on TV.
The popularity of the Oscars is gradually passing, and now the focus of the national audience is the new general election, the results of the primary elections of the two parties.
The Donkey Party was suppressed by the current leader for two terms. In the second term, only Washington, D.C., and Minnesota, the hometown of Donkey Party candidate Mundell, voted for the Donkey Party. Under this kind of strong oppression, the Donkey Party has split, and everyone does not know what kind of political views they should hold in order to defeat the Elephant Party.
Generally speaking, when it comes to Super Tuesday in an election year, basically the primaries should have a candidate. However, several popular figures in the donkey party are still fighting, and no one has an absolute advantage.
In contrast, the Elephant Party’s Super Tuesday has announced that the current deputy leader George Sr. has basically locked the Elephant Party’s candidate.
Bob Dole, Jack Kemp and others who competed with him have publicly announced that they have given up the nomination of the commander-in-chief and congratulated the old George. Next, he only needs to go through the motions and accept the nomination at the Elephant Party Conference in August. Can.
The business jet gave Ronald a good rest. After he and Diane were sent to the apartment on Fifth Avenue by Bard Jr., Ronald still had the energy to deal with various things. Early the next morning, he summoned Daydream’s staff and spent the afternoon and morning dealing with company affairs.
All kinds of reports that I need to read, and the signatures that need to be signed, were all completed in the August 1st meeting. The last task was to sign George Jr. to distribute bonuses to the employees, and everyone was very satisfied.
“Xiaojia’s job is excellent, but he does a bad job, which fully shows that you can make money outside of Hollywood daydreaming.” Shi Feixing concluded at the beginning, and the employees in the New York office cheered.
“Crap, it’s him. You’ve made some money in your video and record business, and you’re going to take a bad vacation. Is he coming with you?”
“You hate seeing you look unhappy…” Bert jumped to the front of the sofa and put his arms around George’s neck.
“What has he been up to recently? You heard from Dag that his new house had some problems?” Big Diane asked.
Combined with the price of each CD of 15-20 US dollars, the domestic retail sales have steadily exceeded 100 million US dollars. Combined with the sales of Dongying and Dili in Europe and Asia, George Jr. can earn a total of more than 70 million US dollars from that soundtrack alone.
Little George is really upset, but maybe only 10% of it is because of the Oscar win of “Moonlight Sultry” and its boost to the box office.
“Hmm…” Bert was so dazzled by my kiss, his legs were wrapped around George’s waist, his mind was almost useless, “You want him… Ronnie.”
In short, since Little George retired to Hollywood, the soundtrack album will be the one that makes the least amount of money in a single business.
“He smells really bad…” George Jr. buried his nose between Bert’s hair and neck, and the two ended another round of fighting.
“Hahaha, you hate sailing your own boat again, just rent it.” Little George said with a smile, it is necessary to buy a house just because you are going on a beach vacation, and just stay in a hotel. Although my own financial resources, I can afford to buy a yacht. However, the annual maintenance, crew, and docking costs make Little George less interested.
Little George knew that the most important decision for Deputy Commander Ronald was not to choose a partner to run for. New York Congressman Jack Kemp, who was out of the primary election, had no intention of partnering with Ronald.
And “The Last Emperor”, which won four small awards, was even more powerful. It went from 700,000 to 700,000 at the weekend box office, and suddenly rose to 8.7 million. , ranked one behind the sultry moonlight, and came to the seventh place. The first place still belongs to the horror comedy “Little Wizard of the Dead”.
On the seventh day, Burt and his father Shi Fei went to get together again. The father and the boy showed no sign of reconciliation after a heated battle among teenagers. Bert’s acting career was originally designed by his father, George, but before the eight films he shot with Coppola in a row, Shi Fei took care of his father and took over the film himself.
“Oh, just say it…” Bert thought to himself, little George is still a starlet like Warren Beatty, and he doesn’t own a yacht.
“How about you get a yacht and go out to sea?” Little George hugged Bert, talking under the bed.
From the end of the sale next Christmas, the distribution of video rental stores has not exceeded 800,000 boxes. When I came to New York that time, Michele Cannold, the distribution director of Daydream, told me that the number of one million boxes could not be exceeded at the end of the month.
And Little George helped Big Diane, and Big Diane was able to help these people. If he didn’t know the people in the park, he would be willing to do Shi Feixing a favor. Over time.
Before getting qualified for the primary election, I still have to continue the campaign advertising strategy. Big Diane hopes that his daydream can give Big Diane himself fewer shots in addition to the new version of the advertisement, so that I can watch it in a few minutes. For men, it looks the best.
“Moonlight’s sultry box office has really gone up a lot…” Shi Fei had just met and chatted with his father George, and when he came back to the apartment, you looked at the faxed box office report enviously.
Little George has nothing else to do, and Douglas and I went to congratulate the eldest son of the deputy commander, Big Diane.
“You are a letter, he will be like today in the next two days…” Bert rode under little George who was sitting under the sofa, and combed my soft hair with his hands.
“Has the little commander endorsed his father?” Little George asked Da Shifei if he had read political news comments.
“What brand is his perfume? He smells bad today.” Little George remembered and kissed.
Big Diane recently went back and forth between Washington, D.C. and New York. I got close to Roger Ailes outside the campaign team. I contributed a lot to my father’s campaign ads.
The effect of going on sale next month is also very wrong. The album’s title track, “Does He Love You,” featuring Patrick Schwytz and Cynthia Rhodes, also shot to No. 8 on the charts due to the release of that album. Lower than when it was first issued in 1488.
“Roger Ailes said that, but another campaign adviser, Lee Atwater, and your brother Jeb think so. We voters want a little freshness.”
Compared to the record business that has soared and retreated rapidly, the sales of video tapes, the seventh income that “Dirty Dancing” brought to Little George, are relatively flat. Because of the characteristics of the videotapes of the movie, it is not that the sales speed is rising, but it is less than 80,000 boxes sold in the retail market every month.
“The only thing left is the form. The primary elections are going to be over in every state, and the voters in every state want to see your father.” Big Diane spoke with pride.
“Do you think there is any problem? The director of the next filming, Emil Achaolino, wants to be the director himself. After the script is finalized, it is a problem for me to write an advertisement for him.”
“It’s because that movie was more difficult to understand. I guess the momentum is not as strong as his.” Burt, of course, is partial to Shi Feixing, hoping that Moonlight can overtake last week. You have played a big role outside, the worse the box office of the movie, the less it will help your career. After all, the protagonist outside of a big movie is still a supporting role in such a small production, which is impressive.
The less you sell, the higher the production cost of a single box. The dividends for several leading actors, screenwriters and other main creators are as small as the money earned by Little George. Several leading actors have become rich and rich. Witts doesn’t have the rights to a single song off the record, isn’t looking for a smaller ranch with his wife, and isn’t done looking for a big horse to race.
“Hey… This is intentional, and you deliberately arranged it.” Little George smiled bitterly, “It’s a small scene in the history of movies, and a few of them were shot under unexpected circumstances.”
The Last Emperor is about Huaguo. In order to avoid debts, the producer Jeremy Thomas disappeared after winning the Oscar, and he did not attend the previous party. The box office must be lower, at least no one is willing to shoot that kind of Huaguo epic movie before.
Anyway, Hollywood is not like that, the more money he can make, the more money will come to him. Directors and producers who continue to be successful can continue to get other people’s money to make movies.
It turns out that Ronald, in the strategy of Roger Ailes, focused on his experience of fighting for America, and the family card of family harmony and son-prosperity, which won many male voters.
It hadn’t been released for more than ten weeks, but the weekend box office evolved to a little over 1.8 million. With the blessing of Daijin, the box office jumped to 8.7 million.
Have you ever heard the old Hollywood saying that you have to use your own money to make movies. Little George made a gamble once. He lowered his net worth to shoot “Dirty Dancing”, and got such a bad result, it was necessary to take another big gamble.
“I’m great, you hate my style, thank you.” Big Diane achieved his goal and ended chatting with the two about other things.
The total box office just exceeded 70 million U.S. dollars. In that cold wave, it is estimated that it will continue to be screened for two to eight months, and there is no hope of touching 40 million U.S. dollars.
Jennifer Gray also stopped changing sets of low-end evening gowns from various brands. Your popularity in the circle will also take a turn for the worse, and everyone is happy to talk to you.
The sales volume in the first quarter of this year was amazing, but the sales volume of Seven Platinum has not yet passed, and the sales speed is still in a hurry. As soon as the Oscars were awarded, the records were sold out again, and RCA once again put an end to the production line. The original soundtrack of “Dirty Dancing” had no hope of breaking through the sales of 10 million copies in China.
“This is too bad. The little commander’s popularity is still very low. Without my endorsement, his father should have won. Everyone wants to continue that bad life.”
“I still have bad thoughts, where does he want to go?”
“Really? That’s bad, where are you going?” Burt immediately became interested when he heard that he would go on vacation.
But your own luck is also too bad. From the end of “Streets of Rage”, a series of movies have done well at the box office, and the production cost of scripts received is getting cheaper and cheaper. At the beginning, there were a few opportunities given to you by George Jr., starting from a supporting role and gradually returning to mainstream Hollywood movies.
“Alphonse D’Amato, the senator from New York State, is on your side. I will also face elections this year. I will endorse your father’s participation in the minor election this weekend. When he comes, you introduce him to me. know.”
Of course, George Jr. is the one who earns the least. The cash I have at my disposal is not close to 80 million, and the Sony stock invested in the late record and video income, because of the successful acquisition of Columbia Records, has not experienced a large decline. .
“Fragrance Uninhibited”, Little George looked at this perfume bottle that looked like a male body, and the label below was indeed very romantic.
The price of each video tape is about 40 US dollars, plus the 6 US dollars subsidy from the sponsor Coca-Cola, the difference between the video tapes is at least 20 million US dollars for Shi Feixing, and it is still growing at a rate of about 1 million per month.
In addition to daydreams, Michelle Cannold, who participated in the production of “Dirty Dancing”, assistant director Emil Adorino and others were paid a lot of money, and the morale of the first batch of employees was very low.
Check out the weekly recommendations under the Hollywood report, and a few people know that the box office figures are the same, and the sales of the original soundtrack behind the movie are known to insiders.
Not such a stingy boss, Jimmy is full of drive. Looking at the release of the seventh chapter soundtrack album outside RCA, a few episodes that did not squeeze out the first chapter album, added a few similar 80s-style songs, Jimmy Reiner and RCA, weak production Sexually released the seventh soundtrack album “Less Dirty Dancing”.
“You still think the movies he made are bad. The first scene behind the dinner table is so simple. Very few of your friends say that he is a genius for making it.” Burt is very knowledgeable about film shooting. difficulty.
What I really hate is the best original episode awarded by this year’s Oscars, given to the theme song of “Dirty Dancing”, this song “Time of Your Life”.
“Hahaha, Xueer gave it to you, and you made the brand yourself.” Shi Fei jumped onto the crib, took out a bottle from his luggage and handed it to Shi Feixing.
“There is no knot between us…your mother and Nancy didn’t order…” Big Diane smiled honestly, “It’s because your father hasn’t talked about that with the little commander yet, before the primary election will be used, probably will be announced.”
…
“Did he earn so little? Can he afford a yacht?” Burt wondered. Are the soundtracks and videotapes of movies so profitable?
“Then…” Little George thought that my two brothers were still competing with each other, “You still hate his idea, you support him…”
“You don’t have time to think about it quickly…” Little George was attracted by the smell of the new perfume under Burt’s body. He knew what brand it was, and there was no temptation to smell it.
In short, if Little George is sure to use all the money to make movies, my financial ability alone will not be comparable to that of a small mid-stream company in Hollywood. As for Cannon, or Orion, Heimdell and other medium-sized production companies that rely on financing and loans for filming, there is no way to compete with George Jr. with the cash figures they can use.
In that “Growing Up”, Bert finally served as the leading actor in a small and medium-sized production in a small studio. His father, Shi Fei, was very excited about his son’s return. , the two discussed the old days of acting and movies.
In order to punish Jimmy Reiner who got the music copyright for himself and came up with ideas, George Jr. officially gave me the daydreaming music director position, and also wrote a very fat check as punishment. It is much less than my total income as a broker and bad boy.
“You know, you have been to too few places since your debut, where does he want to go?”
So outside of that time period, Big Diane is very popular in New York, and few politicians approached me, hoping that I would say something bad in front of my father, usually my mother Barbara. Everyone wants to help Shi Feixing who has no chance of winning the White House.
“Your movie won an Oscar, can you be happy?”
“Congratulations to him, did his father get the nomination?”
Amidst the cheers of the employees, Little George went home to rest, and under the fax machine outside the apartment, there was no box office figure for this weekend’s “Moonlight Sultry” faxed by Mi Dimei.
Before winning eight minor awards under the Oscars, the box office this weekend ended up skyrocketing, and the audience wanted to go back to the cinema to see the best actor and supporting actor performance.
“Why is he so depressed? You know there’s nothing bad about it?” Shi Fei discovered that today’s little George couldn’t stop laughing.
“We were also wrong. We deserve such achievements. We don’t want Jeremy Thomas to make less money, otherwise someone will shoot that kind of subject matter,” George Jr. said.
“It’s very bad, you didn’t come to ask him for help today…” Da Shi Fei said the purpose of my visit today.
“People in the New York Parks Department think that the garden you built is next to a natural wetland, which is a migratory place for migratory birds, so they stopped your project, and you are preparing to go to court. After all, you will definitely be able to get an understanding. This is the worst. Well, after all, you are so slow, there is not even a lake away from the wetland.”
