When Americans celebrate the Independence Day holiday, far away Africa began with the mutiny of thousands of Pro Rwandese Tutsi soldiers in the DRC on July 5, and another large-scale African scuffle broke out, which was the first major international event in July.
It started two years ago.
In the summer of 1996, Rwanda, together with Uganda and other countries, invaded the DRC on the ground of pursuing the war criminals of the Rwanda massacre. Together with the DRC rebels, they invaded the capital of the DRC in May 1997, overthrowing president Mobutu, who ruled the DRC for 32 years, and supporting the rebel leader Kabila to come to power.
In the following year, believing that the domestic political situation had been stabilized, Kabila began to ask the Rwandese coalition forces to withdraw from the DRC.
Of course, the Rwandese coalition is not reconciled. That's why this conflict happened.
Simon risked a lot of uncertainty to intervene in the Rwanda massacre in 1994, basically to show his own strength. This time, he will only look on coldly. Because this scuffle, in the final analysis, is a major reshuffle of African forces and a redistribution of resources.
What the westero system can do is to strive for its own benefits.
This is a tacit understanding formed in all aspects.
On the contrary, if he plunges in too much, it will be against Africa as a whole and the western society behind the scenes. Simon will not do such a stupid thing.
As for the millions of casualties caused by the "Second World War in Africa", many people are not concerned about it. For example, there is no exact statistics on the specific death toll. There are five or six million, eight million and tens of millions. Who knows.
At present, compared with the wars in Africa, even if we visit China, the major western mainstream media are still staring at Clinton's increasingly fierce zipper door scandal.
Or in terms of entertainment, the visual shock brought by the real and cruel war scenes in Saving Private Ryan and the moral conflict caused by eight rescues all lead to much more discussion than the war breaking out in Africa.
This is the reality.
The strong attract all eyes, the weak almost have no sense of existence.
Simon personally held a secret meeting on the deployment of private forces in Africa, and then put it in the back of his mind.
Saving Private Ryan once won the North American box office title in 1998 with a domestic box office of 216 million US dollars, which is not comparable to Titanic, even the second place man in black and the third place Jurassic Park: the lost world.
It can only be said that the original time line of 1998 belongs to a small film year.
This time, of course, it's different.
Just now, Jurassic Park 3, the leader, has exceeded 300 million and is steadily moving towards the goal of 400 million.
In any case, "Saving Private Ryan" is not bad.
In the first seven days of the first week, this war movie with high reputation and popularity won US $53.46 million at the box office, easily winning the box office title in a single week.
The question this time is whether Saving Private Ryan can still achieve a good result of breaking through 200 million US dollars in North America.
The key is still behind.
In the new box office week on July 10, Simon's rotten gangster entered North American cinemas with his brand new "hangover".
Then, on July 17, there was Warner's blockbuster Lethal Weapon 4, and on July 24, there was Fox's film version of X-Files. Simon didn't interfere in this popular TV series, which was still taken away by fox a few years ago, and he made a profit at the end of this year.
At the end of the month, on July 29, "hero" will be released.
From this week, Simon's attention began to focus on China and the United States at the same time, because "hero" entered mainland cinemas in North America on July 9 ahead of schedule.
As for hero in China, Simon's first concern is public opinion.
Once upon a time, hero was scolded as worthless after it was released in China, and Zhang Guoshi was almost depressed. This time, Simon asked people to send the media feedback during Cannes back to China and set the tone ahead of time. The trend of public opinion was really much better, or even reversed.
Even if there are criticisms, they are such as "the story is weak and the art is strong.".
It's not criticism.
Simon is too lazy to talk about it.
If it is said that "hero" was criticized, it is not in line with the taste of the Chinese people, and the reason is probably Balabala, which was specially made for foreigners. Can't the record breaking 250 million yuan domestic film box office in mainland China represent the attitude of the Chinese people, or can only a few sticks represent the attitude of the Chinese people?
Now, no one scolds him. In addition, in the first half of the year, "Titanic" has just set a box office record in mainland China. Under some emotional stimulation, Simon thinks that "hero" is very likely to hit the 300 million yuan mark.
And North America.
Simon, of course, pays more attention to hangover than hero.
On the one hand, this film is Simon's support to the rotten boys, to avoid the dominance of Hollywood comedy circle. On the other hand, the shooting place is changed from the original Las Vegas to Atlantic City. It also has the intention of promoting Simon's acceptance of a large number of casinos and hotels from someone, and always needs to activate this part of assets.
The film was released the next day after its grand premiere in Atlantic City on Wednesday, July 8.
Even a lot of media realize that this is a Simon westero promotional film to promote Atlantic City. Even if the critics have a bias against comedy movies, "hangover" still gets a good media score of 7.8.
One of the most representative comments of a film critic in the New York Times: "before I entered the cinema, I had the lowest expectation of hangover, which proved to bring me more laughter than I thought."
In fact, the biggest task of comedy movies is to make the audience laugh.
Even in the first half of the year, Kim Carrey's highly praised "Truman's world" also provoked some thinking on the basis of making the audience laugh. The core is not putting the cart before the horse.
From the New York Times critic and other feedback, Simon is quite optimistic about the hangover.
The fact is that Simon's expectations have been met.
Just three days after the first painting, with one-sided praise and Denise entertainment sparing no effort in marketing and manufacturing, hangover easily won US $37.29 million at the box office in the first weekend, and is expected to reach about 55 million in the first seven days of the first week, which is even higher than the opening performance of Saving Private Ryan last week.
This achievement, not to mention the outside world, even Simon himself, is bound to be tangled again.
Simon's original expectation of "hangover" was to break the local billion yuan, which is enough to play a good role in promoting Atlantic City. Now, the first week is expected to be 55 million yuan. Unless the end of the world comes, it is almost certain that the local billion yuan will be broken, or even it is not impossible to break 200 million yuan.
As a result, it was inevitable to snipe Private Ryan.
Subsequent facts also proved this point.
After a full week, "hangover" was higher than originally expected. In the end, the first week's seven day box office was $56.51 million, which easily recovered $25 million of production investment.
Under the impact of hangover, Saving Private Ryan fell 36% the next week and earned $34.21 million.
It seems that the decline is still within the acceptable range, but in danielis entertainment, because of its excellent reputation, it was initially predicted that the next week's decline of "Saving Private Ryan" might be enough to control within 30%. Only in this way can the film reach the box office of more than $200 million in Simon's memory.
Now, the next week's drop is 36%, even if it narrows in the third week, because of a big drop, the hope of Saving Private Ryan's box office of 200 million is much smaller.
I knew Simon would have moved the hangover schedule back at least a week.
But just think about it.
Choosing the schedule on July 10 is also the result of careful consideration. In the future, it will be past the hottest stage of the summer season. Unless you have no confidence in the film or such films as hero and Horse Whisperer, you will step on the tail of the summer season.
In the final analysis, there are only 52 weeks in a year, and it is impossible to turn them into 104. With Denise's entertainment ambition, it is inevitable to beat herself.
In China, the achievement of hero is also quite dazzling.
After the opening of the film on July 9, with the support of a series of strict anti-theft measures such as special escort, the film successfully won 91 million RMB box office in four days. As of July 16, the cumulative box office reached 139 million RMB in eight days.
In the first eight days of painting, the revenue is 139 million yuan. In addition, Chinese films generally have a good long-term development, so the possibility of a subsequent impact of 300 million yuan is very high.
Of course, even if it reaches 300 million yuan, considering the production cost of 250 million yuan, even if the cinema line share is raised to 40% in advance, it is impossible to return the original. This film still needs to be seen overseas.
This is second.
Taking advantage of the first week's big sale, brocade book also launched another wave of publicity campaign in due time. The focus of public opinion is to compare Titanic with influence to stimulate the public to buy tickets. There is no reason why Chinese films are inferior to foreign films.
Last year's crouching tiger, hidden dragon, the box office in mainland China only broke through 100 million yuan. This time, hero broke through 100 million yuan in the first week, and even has the hope of charging 300 million yuan. Overseas, the reputation of Cannes can be expected. As a result, the trilogy of Chuhan, which has been a long-standing drag, has been further developed.
July 17, a new week.
The main reason is that Warner's "lethal weapon 4" was released. Because of the influence of Simon, the big butterfly, the difference between "lethal weapon 4" and "lethal weapon 4" is that there is no more Jeter Lee as a villain. However, Simon is not optimistic about whether Jeter Lee Shen is involved or not.
The key is that the "lethal weapon" series, an old-fashioned Hollywood action film of the 1980s, is out of date.
Warner is not willing to burn 120 million US dollars this time. Simon seems even more unwise. After all, lethal weapons 3 was six years ago. Six years later, it is less than the time limit for people to have feelings. It is a large number of people who have almost forgotten the series of lethal weapons.
Of course, Simon doesn't worry about Warner.
Hollywood is often helpless, especially when the cost of film production is getting higher and higher.
Even if dannilis entertains herself, it's not rush hour 2, Jurassic Park 3 and morgue haunted event 3 this year. It's a big reason why dannilis entertainment can sweep the summer vacation.
In addition, by the way, in South Korea, showbox's second horror film "strange talk about women" was also released on July 17, local time. After being controlled by Hollywood movies for so many years, except for different box office statistics, the distribution mode of Korean movies is basically the same.
In fact, in addition to June's "the rose and the lotus" and this time's "strange talk about the girl", in South Korea, the film companies supported by the westero system have launched many films this year. On the one hand, Simon didn't pay special attention, on the other hand, it was mainly his own failure to splash.
Compared with the cost of 3 billion won adaptation of the South Korean legend story book "red lotus", the original production cost of "strange talk about women's high" is only 1 billion won, that is to say, as long as the total number of South Korean viewers reaches one million, the number of South Korean viewers in Seoul can reach 300000, it can be returned.
This was a project in history, and it was among the top ten Korean films in that year. Simon had high expectations for the success of this film.
Los Angeles.
After the last day of the week, Simon returns to domay point manor, and Janet gives Simon a surprise.
Giselle bunchen and Patricia bunchen twin sisters.
The girls who were raised a few years ago gradually began to grow up. Because they were strictly trained, they were basically placed near the Westeros, and so were the giselles this time.
The giselles, who turned 18 on July 14, were officially recruited.
Frankly speaking, as like as two peas in front of the world's first supermodel, Simon did not produce much interest.
have sailed the seven seas.
Over the years, I have experienced too many different kinds of women, coupled with the high status at this time, so it is difficult for me to produce too much lust for female stars and models like some rich people who pursue famous women to become their own decoration.
That's the same reason. People who have got a doctor's degree can no longer have fluctuations in the little red flowers in kindergartens.
Janet clearly remembers that men were very special to Giselle, but now, instead of being special, they are worried.
Is her husband going to take an "evil road"?
So the next day when Simon flew to the east coast, he specially stuffed the Giselle sisters. Obviously, the two sisters had been told, and when they got on the plane, they began to take the initiative.
This time the destination is not New York, but Atlantic City.
Arriving at the gambling city on the east coast, the two sisters, who had been packed up by Simon, got off the plane and were sent to Simon's mansion.
Simon has business, of course.
Tonight is the final of the 1998 elite world model competition. Simon is invited by grace to come here to support.
From the "hangover" to the elite model competition which lasted for two years in Atlantic City, together with various other activities, it can be regarded as a complete set of marketing mix of westero system in order to promote Atlantic City.

From the New York Times critic and other feedback, Simon is quite optimistic about the hangover.
The fact is that Simon's expectations have been met.
Just three days after the first painting, with one-sided praise and Denise entertainment sparing no effort in marketing and manufacturing, hangover easily won US $37.29 million at the box office in the first weekend, and is expected to reach about 55 million in the first seven days of the first week, which is even higher than the opening performance of Saving Private Ryan last week.
This achievement, not to mention the outside world, even Simon himself, is bound to be tangled again.
Simon's original expectation of "hangover" was to break the local billion yuan, which is enough to play a good role in promoting Atlantic City. Now, the first week is expected to be 55 million yuan. Unless the end of the world comes, it is almost certain that the local billion yuan will be broken, or even it is not impossible to break 200 million yuan.
As a result, it was inevitable to snipe Private Ryan.
Subsequent facts also proved this point.
After a full week, "hangover" was higher than originally expected. In the end, the first week's seven day box office was $56.51 million, which easily recovered $25 million of production investment.
Under the impact of hangover, Saving Private Ryan fell 36% the next week and earned $34.21 million.
It seems that the decline is still within the acceptable range, but in danielis entertainment, because of its excellent reputation, it was initially predicted that the next week's decline of "Saving Private Ryan" might be enough to control within 30%. Only in this way can the film reach the box office of more than $200 million in Simon's memory.
Now, the next week's drop is 36%, even if it narrows in the third week, because of a big drop, the hope of Saving Private Ryan's box office of 200 million is much smaller.
I knew Simon would have moved the hangover schedule back at least a week.
But just think about it.
Choosing the schedule on July 10 is also the result of careful consideration. In the future, it will be past the hottest stage of the summer season. Unless you have no confidence in the film or such films as hero and Horse Whisperer, you will step on the tail of the summer season.

In China, the achievement of hero is also quite dazzling.
After the opening of the film on July 9, with the support of a series of strict anti-theft measures such as special escort, the film successfully won 91 million RMB box office in four days. As of July 16, the cumulative box office reached 139 million RMB in eight days.
In the first eight days of painting, the revenue is 139 million yuan. In addition, Chinese films generally have a good long-term development, so the possibility of a subsequent impact of 300 million yuan is very high.
Of course, even if it reaches 300 million yuan, considering the production cost of 250 million yuan, even if the cinema line share is raised to 40% in advance, it is impossible to return the original. This film still needs to be seen overseas.
This is second.
Taking advantage of the first week's big sale, brocade book also launched another wave of publicity campaign in due time. The focus of public opinion is to compare Titanic with influence to stimulate the public to buy tickets. There is no reason why Chinese films are inferior to foreign films.

As a result, the trilogy of Chuhan, which has been a long-standing drag, has been further developed.
July 17, a new week.
The main reason is that Warner's "lethal weapon 4" was released. Because of the influence of Simon, the big butterfly, the difference between "lethal weapon 4" and "lethal weapon 4" is that there is no more Jeter Lee as a villain.

Of course, Simon doesn't worry about Warner.

Even if dannilis entertains herself, it's not rush hour 2, Jurassic Park 3 and morgue haunted event 3 this year. It's a big reason why dannilis entertainment can sweep the summer vacation.
In addition, by the way, in South Korea, showbox's second horror film "strange talk about women" was also released on July 17, local time. After being controlled by Hollywood movies for so many years, except for different box office statistics, the distribution mode of Korean movies is basically the same.
In fact, in addition to June's "the rose and the lotus" and this time's "strange talk about the girl", in South Korea, the film companies supported by the westero system have launched many films this year.

Compared with the cost of 3 billion won adaptation of the South Korean legend story book "red lotus", the original production cost of "strange talk about women's high" is only 1 billion won, that is to say, as long as the total number of South Korean viewers reaches one million, the number of South Korean viewers in Seoul can reach 300000, it can be returned.
This was a project in history, and it was among the top ten Korean films in that year. Simon had high expectations for the success of this film.

It also has the intention of promoting Simon's acceptance of a large number of casinos and hotels from someone, and always needs to activate this part of assets.The film was released the next day after its grand premiere in Atlantic City on Wednesday, July 8.Even a lot of media realize that this is a Simon westero promotional film to promote Atlantic City. Even if the critics have a bias against comedy movies, "hangover" still gets a good media score of 7.8.One of the most representative comments of a film critic in the New York Times: "before I entered the cinema, I had the lowest expectation of hangover, which proved to bring me more laughter than I thought."In fact, the biggest task of comedy movies is to make the audience laugh.Even in the first half of the year, Kim Carrey's highly praised "Truman's world" also provoked some thinking on the basis of making the audience laugh. The core is not putting the cart before the horse.From the New York Times critic and other feedback, Simon is quite optimistic about the hangover.The fact is that Simon's expectations have been met.Just three days after the first painting, with one-sided praise and Denise entertainment sparing no effort in marketing and manufacturing, hangover easily won US $37.29 million at the box office in the first weekend, and is expected to reach about 55 million in the first seven days of the first week, which is even higher than the opening performance of Saving Private Ryan last week.This achievement, not to mention the outside world, even Simon himself, is bound to be tangled again.Simon's original expectation of "hangover" was to break the local billion yuan, which is enough to play a good role in promoting Atlantic City. Now, the first week is expected to be 55 million yuan. Unless the end of the world comes, it is almost certain that the local billion yuan will be broken, or even it is not impossible to break 200 million yuan.As a result, it was inevitable to snipe Private Ryan.Subsequent facts also proved this point.After a full week, "hangover" was higher than originally expected. In the end, the first week's seven day box office was $56.51 million, which easily recovered $25 million of production investment.Under the impact of hangover, Saving Private Ryan fell 36% the next week and earned $34.21 million.It seems that the decline is still within the acceptable range, but in danielis entertainment, because of its excellent reputation, it was initially predicted that the next week's decline of "Saving Private Ryan" might be enough to control within 30%. Only in this way can the film reach the box office of more than $200 million in Simon's memory.Now, the next week's drop is 36%, even if it narrows in the third week, because of a big drop, the hope of Saving Private Ryan's box office of 200 million is much smaller.I knew Simon would have moved the hangover schedule back at least a week.But just think about it.Choosing the schedule on July 10 is also the result of careful consideration. In the future, it will be past the hottest stage of the summer season. Unless you have no confidence in the film or such films as hero and Horse Whisperer, you will step on the tail of the summer season.In the final analysis, there are only 52 weeks in a year, and it is impossible to turn them into 104. With Denise's entertainment ambition, it is inevitable to beat herself.In China, the achievement of hero is also quite dazzling.After the opening of the film on July 9, with the support of a series of strict anti-theft measures such as special escort, the film successfully won 91 million RMB box office in four days. As of July 16, the cumulative box office reached 139 million RMB in eight days.In the first eight days of painting, the revenue is 139 million yuan. In addition, Chinese films generally have a good long-term development, so the possibility of a subsequent impact of 300 million yuan is very high.Of course, even if it reaches 300 million yuan, considering the production cost of 250 million yuan, even if the cinema line share is raised to 40% in advance, it is impossible to return the original. This film still needs to be seen overseas.This is second.Taking advantage of the first week's big sale, brocade book also launched another wave of publicity campaign in due time. The focus of public opinion is to compare Titanic with influence to stimulate the public to buy tickets. There is no reason why Chinese films are inferior to foreign films.Last year's crouching tiger, hidden dragon, the box office in mainland China only broke through 100 million yuan. This time, hero broke through 100 million yuan in the first week, and even has the hope of charging 300 million yuan. Overseas, the reputation of Cannes can be expected. As a result, the trilogy of Chuhan, which has been a long-standing drag, has been further developed.July 17, a new week.The main reason is that Warner's "lethal weapon 4" was released. Because of the influence of Simon, the big butterfly, the difference between "lethal weapon 4" and "lethal weapon 4" is that there is no more Jeter Lee as a villain. However, Simon is not optimistic about whether Jeter Lee Shen is involved or not.The key is that the "lethal weapon" series, an old-fashioned Hollywood action film of the 1980s, is out of date.Warner is not willing to burn 120 million US dollars this time. Simon seems even more unwise. After all, lethal weapons 3 was six years ago. Six years later, it is less than the time limit for people to have feelings. It is a large number of people who have almost forgotten the series of lethal weapons.Of course, Simon doesn't worry about Warner.Hollywood is often helpless, especially when the cost of film production is getting higher and higher.Even if dannilis entertains herself, it's not rush hour 2, Jurassic Park 3 and morgue haunted event 3 this year. It's a big reason why dannilis entertainment can sweep the summer vacation.In addition, by the way, in South Korea, showbox's second horror film "strange talk about women" was also released on July 17, local time. After being controlled by Hollywood movies for so many years, except for different box office statistics, the distribution mode of Korean movies is basically the same.In fact, in addition to June's "the rose and the lotus" and this time's "strange talk about the girl", in South Korea, the film companies supported by the westero system have launched many films this year. On the one hand, Simon didn't pay special attention, on the other hand, it was mainly his own failure to splash.Compared with the cost of 3 billion won adaptation of the South Korean legend story book "red lotus", the original production cost of "strange talk about women's high" is only 1 billion won, that is to say, as long as the total number of South Korean viewers reaches one million, the number of South Korean viewers in Seoul can reach 300000, it can be returned.This was a project in history, and it was among the top ten Korean films in that year. Simon had high expectations for the success of this film.Los Angeles.After the last day of the week, Simon returns to domay point manor, and Janet gives Simon a surprise.Giselle bunchen and Patricia bunchen twin sisters.The girls who were raised a few years ago gradually began to grow up. Because they were strictly trained, they were basically placed near the Westeros, and so were the giselles this time.The giselles, who turned 18 on July 14, were officially recruited.Frankly speaking, as like as two peas in front of the world's first supermodel, Simon did not produce much interest.have sailed the seven seas.Over the years, I have experienced too many different kinds of women, coupled with the high status at this time, so it is difficult for me to produce too much lust for female stars and models like some rich people who pursue famous women to become their own decoration.That's the same reason. People who have got a doctor's degree can no longer have fluctuations in the little red flowers in kindergartens.Janet clearly remembers that men were very special to Giselle, but now, instead of being special, they are worried.Is her husband going to take an "evil road"?So the next day when Simon flew to the east coast, he specially stuffed the Giselle sisters. Obviously, the two sisters had been told, and when they got on the plane, they began to take the initiative.This time the destination is not New York, but Atlantic City.Arriving at the gambling city on the east coast, the two sisters, who had been packed up by Simon, got off the plane and were sent to Simon's mansion.Simon has business, of course.Tonight is the final of the 1998 elite world model competition. Simon is invited by grace to come here to support.From the "hangover" to the elite model competition which lasted for two years in Atlantic City, together with various other activities, it can be regarded as a complete set of marketing mix of westero system in order to promote Atlantic City.
