After Monday, with the strong development of fox pictures, the media direction of "Butterfly Effect" changed significantly in just a few days.

Compared with the subjective tendency of media film review, ordinary people are obviously more vulnerable to the impact of real data.

The box office for the first week was $21.69 million.

The next weekend was a small drop of 17%.

7 on average.

All of these undoubtedly show that the film quality of "Butterfly Effect" is far from as bad as the critics criticized. Under the deliberate guidance of public opinion of fox film, the public gradually realized that the one-sided bad review of "Butterfly Effect" was probably the result of someone's deliberate smear.

Subsequently, News Corp's "New York Post" published an article, further let many people believe this.

Back in March, Simon was suddenly questioned by the media. A reporter from the New York Post found out that mark Hollington, the independent writer who questioned Simon in the New York Times, recently bought a brand-new Ferrari.

So the problem is.

Mark Hollington's previous income was not enough to pay for such an expensive sports car.

So.

Where did the money come from?

Is it the extra money suddenly earned by being accused of being a gifted teenager?

As a tabloid with a large circulation, the New York Post is famous for its unruly news. In order to avoid being sued for defamation, this article does not directly challenge mark Hollington, but it guides the audience in one direction.

In the face of the criticism from the New York Post, mark Hollington is very "cooperative" to make it even more lively.

As we all know, the daily news and the New York Post, whose market positioning is similar to that of the same circulation, are completely antagonistic. The two unruly newspapers almost tear their faces apart and often scold each other in the air. They even bring each other's bosses, Rupert Murdoch and Mortimer Zuckerman, down to nothing.

Now, with mark Hollington's clarification in the daily news, the war is back.

This kind of media tearing is usually hard to achieve.

Unfortunately for mark Hollington.

The more things get worse, the more money he takes to discredit Simon westero, the more inexplicable it is.

So hot until Friday, April 24.

Due to the change of media trend and the marketing offensive of fox pictures, Amy even thinks that she should take time to recharge her batteries.

Amy looked at the name of the book, Forrest Gump, written by Winston glum. Although I didn't know him, I didn't think that the novels selected by the young people on the opposite side would be too bad, so I opened them with great interest.

Simon noticed Amy's action and explained: "Amy, these days I'll ask Jonathan to help me talk about some scripts, novels or remake rights, but for the time being, they'll be on the westero side. You know, there's a lot of money on the books over there. We'll definitely make these in the future. "

Now that he has a certain amount of capital, Simon has recently begun to implement what he has always wanted to do after returning to this era, holding in advance the copyright of many film projects destined to be popular in the future.

Looking at the gold mine that can be picked up easily, I'm sorry if I don't do it.

Amy nodded with a smile and said, "I understand."

A little ambitious film companies will hoard some copyright as much as possible. Simon's doing so doesn't surprise Amy at all.

Only Simon's original working capital and the production budget of "death is coming" and "vulgar novel" are on danielis film's book. If you want to do this, you can't do it. You can only do it by westero company.

Chatting casually, Simon quickly picked out an actress profile, pressed the call button on the desktop and called Susan Landis in. Noticing Amy's curious expression, he handed over the information and said, "Nah, this is my MIA."

Amy took the information and looked at the name.

Nicole Kidman.

Who is this?

This thought flashed through my mind for the first time. Amy glanced at the picture again and said to Simon, "if there is a video, you should at least see her performance?"

Simon shook his head and said, "there's no need to waste time."

So Susan came in. Simon pointed to Amy's information and said, "pass this information to Jonathan and tell them that they have two days to dig her up to wma. In addition, I am not satisfied with the black actors who play Jules and the candidates recommended by several companies. Let them choose another batch to send them. Fame doesn't matter. In addition, the female taxi driver is also charming, coquettish and with an accent. I think what I said is very clear. You don't have to recommend the local ones. Choose the European ones. "

Amy hands the information to Susan. Listening to Simon's instructions, Amy smiles and shakes her head helplessly. She finds it hard to guess what her young boss is thinking.Simon is also helpless.

A group of big names have been finalized, and the budget he can use to select other actors is only $1 million. But there is still a large number of characters left in the film.

Among them, the more important Jules, that is, the original role of Samuel Jackson, Simon still hopes that the other side can play. But now, Samuel Jackson doesn't know where.

In this era of no Internet, it is very difficult to search for a nobody.

Even MIA had some twists and turns.

Simon wanted Michelle Pfeiffer to have a try. It doesn't matter if it's expensive.

However, after a simple audition, Simon found a very serious problem.

John Travolta is nearly 1.9 meters tall, while Michelle Pfeiffer is only over 1.7 meters tall. The height difference between the two people, when they went to the stage, the composition was directly skewed, how could they perform the classic swing dance.

After Michelle Pfeiffer, Simon added height above 180cm to the casting conditions.

"Vulgar novel" plan to start shooting in July, Simon has too much work to do, a simple selection, very simply chose once very familiar Nicole Kidman.

Waiting for Susan's office, Simon looked at his watch and asked Amy, "didn't it say three o'clock?"

Amy also looked at the time and said, "well, I'll have someone call to ask."

Just then, the door of the office was knocked again, and Meg Ryan looked in and said, "Mr. westrow, Ms. Pascal, Mr. O'Brien is here."

Two people smell speech, stood up together to welcome up.

At the door of the office, a middle-aged white man with a round face, about 40 years old, came in. He reached out to Simon and Amy apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry, Mr. westrow and Ms. Pascal. We've had some small problems on the way."

Simon listened to the typical English accent of middle-aged people, shook hands with each other with a smile and said, "it's OK, Denny. Just call me Simon."

Amy shook hands with each other.

Simon motioned Meg Ryan to bring in another coffee. The three sat down in the reception area and looked at each other.

Denise O'Brien, a middle-aged filmmaker, and George Harrison, the former Beatles guitarist, run a film company called craft film.

George Harrison founded the film company in 1978 to fund a friend of his.

Later, the film made by Harrison's friend won the box office of 20 million US dollars in North America at a cost of 4 million US dollars. As a result, the handicraft film industry was out of control. Later, it also launched successful films such as time robber starring Sean Connery, which gradually became a famous independent production company in Britain these years.

However.

The handicraft film industry just made a big fall last year. It's Madonna and Sean Pan's magic surprise.

The $17 million production and the final $2.31 million North American box office may not be enough to pay for MGM's publicity.

However, due to the overheating of the global economy in recent years, a large number of capital has poured into the film industry, and the handicraft film industry has not closed down because of the failure of magic wonder. On the contrary, through the relationship with Madonna, it has contacted Denise film, but has become interested in when Harry meets Sally.

The success of the butterfly effect has solved the impasse of when Harry meets Sally. This week, not only many second - and third tier film companies, but also the big seven have basically re expressed their interest in when Harry meets Sally.

Now, however, Simon has other plans.

It is impossible for daenerys film to establish its own distribution channel in the short term. Naturally, when Harry meets Sally, it is still necessary to cooperate with the big seven. However, in terms of production, in order to maintain absolute control over the whole project, Simon plans to invest with some independent film makers.

In this way, as long as a part of the funds can be obtained first, the whole project can be started.

When Simon completes the operation of stock index futures in the second half of the year, danielis pictures can inject follow-up funds into the whole project. At the same time, due to the successful signboards of "Lola Run" and "Butterfly Effect", Denise pictures has enough confidence to ask for more revenue sharing.
