Disneyland in the eastern suburb of Paris, France.

After riding the Indiana Jones roller coaster, the couple in Mickey and Minnie's T-shirt left the scenic spot. They found a lawn and walked over together.

With Simon on the lawn, Janet takes off her sunglasses and lies comfortably on the man's chest.

Wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, and dressed like a pair of ordinary lovers who can be seen everywhere, they have been playing in Disneyland all day. It is inevitable that some hesitant eyes have never been identified.

It's evening.

The soft and warm sunshine in early summer makes people feel lazy.

The kitten rubbed against Simon, and Janet suddenly said, "shall we not go to Cannes tonight?"

Simon put his arm around the woman's waist and nodded without thinking, "OK."

Today is Monday, May 18.

The 45th Cannes Film Festival opened on May 7, and the closing ceremony was officially held tonight.

I haven't been to Europe for a long time. There are a lot of things to deal with here.

Taking advantage of this film festival opportunity, Simon flew here with Janet last Friday.

On Saturday, he spent a day in Florence, Italy. Yesterday, he flew to Helsinki, Finland. Today, he has a free day. On Monday, when there are relatively few tourists, Simon took Janet with him to visit the newly opened European Disneyland.

Actually, it's a personal experience of the operation of Disneyland.

The European Disneyland, which took six years and cost US $5 billion and covers an area of nearly 20 square kilometers, officially opened on April 12. The official passenger flow in the last month or so is less than half of what Disney originally expected. The huge losses and heavy debt burden of the theme park make the high-level Disneyland in a rather embarrassing situation. The failure of

Disney in Europe has made a very significant impact on the Universal Studios in Osaka, Japan.

Most directly, the Osaka Municipal government has finally slowed down its rhetoric during this period. Instead of insisting on converting all the land into shares, it has converted it into half cash and half stock. Municipal government's Universal Studios in Osaka will eventually be able to hold about 5% of the Osaka's universal studios according to the basically agreed plan.

For Simon, the failure of Euro Disney also brought him many warnings.

The Disneyland on the outskirts of Paris was largely built under the influence of the success of Tokyo Disneyland. At the beginning, Disney was full of confidence in this project, and European countries also racked their brains to compete for this theme park project, which can have many positive effects on economy and employment.

The original blindness also brought very serious consequences.

In my memory, European Disneyland, later renamed Paris Disneyland, has been open for decades, and basically has not realized profit. For such a huge project, considering that the consequences of bankruptcy liquidation are too serious, Disney can't even get rid of it, so it has to subsidize its operation for a long time.

The lack of detailed market research in the early stage, excessive optimism led to the project budget out of control, and the lack of market-oriented localization operation These huge mistakes in the European Disneyland are the next thing that Osaka Universal Studios need to pay attention to.

Simon pondered, and suddenly another thing occurred to him.

Disney, which was originally on the time line, has always been a Hollywood giant media group, even in the depressed years at the beginning of the new century.

Now, however, in Hollywood, Disney has been obviously suppressed because of the rise of Denise entertainment.

For example, Pixar, an animation studio that has maintained Disney's long-term dominant position in the field of animated films, has been owned by danielis entertainment.

Some of Disney's best-selling projects in the 1990s, such as "pretty girl" and "Lion King", have also been cut off by Simon.

Miramax, originally an important sub brand of Disney, is now dying.

Even if it is Disney's crucial 2D animation business, because Simon acquired Pixar in advance, the animation production technology has not changed from manual to digital, so the production scale of Disney's 2D animation film is limited.

The wave of integration of American media industry has begun.

Because of Denise Entertainment's series of cuts, now Disney, although in Hollywood's major studios business is still good, but it is impossible to have enough strength to annex metropolitan ABC Group.

It is impossible to realize the transformation from a simple studio to a comprehensive media group. In the industry trend of resource concentration in the media field of the United States, this old film company, which has operated independently for many years, is likely to be annexed by other large media groups in the future.

Twenty or thirty years later, Hollywood's most powerful big studios, whether Disney, Warner Bros. or universal pictures, are actually attached to a huge media group. The rising stars such as lion gate, because of their independence, have not been able to really stand side by side with the traditional big studios. For a short time, they have been popular for a few years with one or two blockbuster series, and soon they are silent.Now Disney has shown signs of internal instability.

Simon can't help but start thinking that maybe one day, this old studio can also be included in the bag. Or let it be as silent as the former United States, thunderbolt and MGM.

Such a heavy burden of Euro Disney can undoubtedly play a good role in promoting the decline of Disney Company.

All of a sudden, a pair of small hands reached over and held Simon's face. A rub interrupted his thoughts.

He made a gesture to bite one of the hands, but his two little paws "jumped" together happily and shut up.

Discontented and pinched the man's face, Janet let Simon go, arms on his chest, still staring at a pair of beautiful eyes, said: "don't think about things, think about where we are going to play tomorrow."

Simon put his arms around the woman's waist and said, "go to chateau Latour tomorrow."

Janet nodded and thought of one more thing, saying, "Dad told me last time to help prepare some red wine for David's wedding at the end of the year."

Although the old man was not satisfied with David Johnston's fiancee, he was as face loving as ever.

Smiling, he scratched the woman's waist with his fingers. Simon pretended that the meat hurt and said, "just pick the right one. That's great. I'll be heartbroken."

Janet's eyes groaned menacingly. She looked like a little daughter-in-law who was ready to turn her elbow out.

But after looking at Simon for a moment, Janet wondered, "you really don't seem to care?"

Simon pretended to be unhappy: "in your heart, I am a very stingy person?"

"Of course not."

Janet said, leaning her head slightly, as if she were pondering.

Simon wanted to imitate the way a woman just rubbed her face, but Janet suddenly attacked him and bit him in the hand.

For a moment, Janet quieted down again and suddenly said, "I see."

"Well?"

"You seem to really take the johnstons as your family."

Simon's heart jumped a little, but there was no abnormality on the surface. He naturally said, "you are my relatives. : "

" no! No! "

Janet shook her head as if she were entangled in some key problem.

Simon stood up and pulled her up, kissing the woman's face and said in her ear, "let's go back. If your chest doesn't rise today, I'll help you deal with it."

Janet's face turned red.

In December last year, she had a baby. Now it's only half a year. After she sent Melbourne to Australia, she didn't have to breast feed herself, so she often faced a small problem.

Holding the man to walk out, don't forget to cross his eyes.

It's clumsy to change the subject so obviously.

However, the question just now is really puzzling.

After six years together, she could hardly understand him better.

In his heart, he is just like a person from another world, full of almost indifferent alienation to his society.

For so many years, only a few people can really break into his heart.

However, she felt more than once that he regarded all her family members as his own in many things.

Most people can't detect the subtle difference, but she is acutely aware of it.

For example, when she got along with Patrick Johnston several times, she could feel that his attitude towards Pat was exactly the same as that of an old lady who had no tools in his own family. If he should dislike him, he would dislike him, if he should teach him a lesson, and if he was impatient, he would get rid of him.

There was no politeness from her brother-in-law. On the contrary, it was almost the same as her sister.

There's more.

Yeah.

It's a little annoying thing.

Apart from the experience of more than ten people, Janet is definitely smarter than Simon, but she rarely shows it.

Combing many details accumulated in my mind, vaguely, I always feel that I am about to catch something, but it is always a little bit worse.

What's the difference?

Unknowingly, the couple got on the bus and returned to the manor in the western suburb of Paris.

Back home, Simon seems to have forgotten the evil idea of Disneyland not long ago, and Janet once again put aside a problem that she had been struggling with for a long time.

The couple enter the villa together. Girl a greets Simon and gives him an invitation, which is sent by the brockles. She hopes Simon will attend a party held by the brockles in London tomorrow evening.

Obviously, the brockles want to talk to Simon about 007.

After the last fall out, Simon has decided to shelve the 007 series for a few years. Now the brockles choose to give in. It's a little late. Simon doesn't intend to change his decision.Throw away the invitation, Janet began to make people prepare dinner. Simon himself turned to his study, sending some ideas that were produced in Losangeles today to the team in Losangeles and Japan, who are preparing for the Osaka Universal Studios.

's Disney layout may be a long line of five to ten years. Osaka Universal Studios is an important layout of Danielle entertainment in theme parks.

The successful experience of Tokyo Disneyland and the failure of European Disneyland can provide enough references for the theme park in preparation.

After sending the email, Simon clicks on the box office data report of North America over the past weekend.

Mel Gibson's "lethal weapon 3" was released on Friday. It started three days in the first weekend and earned $33.24 million with 2510 screens. It is expected that the box office will reach about $45 million in the first week.

Just a few years ago, the first week box office of about $45 million was enough to break some box office records. After the rise of full saturation distribution, this figure is very common for a line of blockbusters.

Even if "wonder woman," which opened on June 5, only made $45 million in the first week, it would be a failure.

Originally planned to fly to Cannes tonight to attend some activities after the closing ceremony of the film festival, Janet didn't want to go temporarily, so Simon canceled the trip.

However, Simon got the award result information of the film festival for the first time.

The winner of the 45th Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or was selected by the film master Ingmar Bergman for his well intentioned betrayal written by his parents.

There is no doubt about Ingmar Bergman's film talent.

However, in Simon's opinion, the result of Palme d'Or is more of an affirmation of the film master's contribution to the film industry.

Danielis Entertainment's entry this year is a novel adaptation of Howard manor by British novelist E.M. foster. The film is starred by Emma Thompson, Anthony Hopkins and Helena birham Carter, and has won high praise from the media during its screening in Cannes.

However, although entered the main competition unit, the film finally achieved nothing.

It was anticipated that Ingmar Bergman's screenplay would win the prize. Danielis Entertainment's performance at major film festivals in the past few years has been quite "eye-catching", and it is still in the same stage of keeping a low profile as the Oscar in March.

Although her own film failed to win the prize, Ella doichman, the director of gaomen film, who came to Cannes personally as usual, began to contact the copyright of this year's award-winning works, such as "good faith betrayal" and "the spring of the petty thief".

After Miramax's silence, Simon had planned to replace Miramax's former position in Hollywood by gaomen film in the past few years, and even had to take greater efforts to promote overseas films in North America.

In recent years, the rise of Hollywood has threatened the film industry of overseas countries in all aspects.

Denise Entertainment's efforts to copy overseas films into North America are not only in its own interests, but also can greatly ease the resistance of overseas film market to Hollywood, at least to Denise Entertainment's films.
