In the second week of the Christmas season on December 23, North American Theaters ushered in seven new films at one time, four of which were mainstream commercial films with more than 1000 screens. They were "rich man" produced by Warner Bros., MGM's "Street Fighter", Disney's "Prince of the forest" and Paramount's "IQ love".

Rich rich, starring Macaulay Calkin, is about a 10-year-old boy who inherits a large fortune from his missing parents and resists his uncle's attempt to seize property. Although Macaulay Calkin dropped out of the kid's home series, he was still the most popular and highest paid child star in the United States. As a result, the production cost of the film reached $40 million. Warner Bros. still gave 1913 opening screens after the suicide squad. From this project, we can see again that Warner is trying to get rid of the mind of relying on the DC movie universe.

As the name suggests, "Street Fighter" is adapted from the fighting game of the same name. The film is starred by the famous action star Shanger Winton. The game copyright holder kapkong Co., Ltd. and MGM jointly invested in the production cost of 35 million US dollars. MGM has prepared 1671 opening screens for the film.

"The prince of the forest" is a real-life version of Disney's classic animation in the 1960s, with a production cost of 27 million US dollars and 1880 screens.

"IQ love" is starred by Hollywood sweet sister Meg Ryan, and also brings in "Einstein" as a guest star, telling the comedy story of Einstein breaking his heart for his niece's marriage. The production cost of the film is 25 million US dollars, and the number of screens is 1406.

In addition to the four mainstream commercial films, the other three award season movies "Nell's heart", "wise as a fool" and "years of passion" should not be underestimated.

"Nell's heart" starred by Hollywood actress Judy foster is a typical Chong Ao seed.

Paul Newman, an old Hollywood star, is the leading actor in the movie. Meanwhile, Jessica standy, Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith and many other stars join in the movie. It tells a series of warm stories in a small town in the north of New York. The style is still similar to the blockbuster steel Magnolia a few years ago, but this time it is no longer a female movie, As a result, the audience is much broader.

"Years of passion" is the most expensive one of the three movies. It is produced by Sony Pictures and starred by Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins, with an investment of US $30 million. In my memory, it is a film with both box office and word-of-mouth, and the award season has also been successful.

Simon had paid close attention to this project before, and only gave it to Sony with the mentality that danilisi entertainment could not take all the advantages. In fact, many films danilisi entertainment could have won, such as "Nell's heart" and "night visit to the vampire", are like this.

With seven new films coming in, you can imagine the intensity of the competition across the Christmas box office week.

According to the excellent performance of "suicide team" in the first week, the total domestic box office of the film is likely to exceed 300 million. Whether it can achieve the goal, the key is whether the film can withstand the impact of a number of new films this week.

After Simon went to Toronto to visit the crew in person, after several working days of shooting, "this man from Earth" was successfully completed on December 23. The crew returned before Christmas. Brett Ratner immediately put into post production, and the film began to release more news materials.

Next year's 11th Sundance Film Festival is scheduled to open on January 19.

With the announcement that Simon's new screenplay is about to participate in the Sundance Film Festival, many people begin to prepare for the trip of Sundance half a month in advance. What happened in Sundance last year can still be vividly remembered, and the circle knows that David Russell, the director of monkey, Mia koshner, the heroine of little woman and Paramount will be the blockbuster next year "Cut throat island" is the experience of Simon's villa party in Sundance last year.

This time, since all of westero's new films have joined Sundance, the other party is likely to hold another party in Park City, which is a rare opportunity to directly contact the Hollywood tycoon.

Before Christmas, after several times of communication, Denise entertainment and Tim Burton signed an agreement of intent for the novel adaptation project of the legend of sleepy valley, which indicates that this famous Hollywood director with strong personal style has opened the first cooperation with Denise entertainment.

The legend of sleepy valley is a novel in the early 19th century, which has no copyright for a long time.

Simon himself drew up a simple outline and invited Andrew Kevin Walker, the screenwriter of the original guillotine Valley, who wrote the seven deadly sins that made David finch famous last year.

In a word, the preliminary preparation of David finch's new film "psychological game" after "seven sins" has been completed, and the budget is estimated to be $50 million. The film has been finalized with the original version starring Michael Douglas. It is expected to start shooting early next year, and the summer season will certainly not catch up. The end of the year is too crowded and may become cannon fodder, so it will probably be put at the end of the summer season in late August and early September This is also the typical distribution strategy of many dark horse thrillers in recent years. In 1987, Douglas also starred in the box office blockbuster "fatal temptation".This is also a kind of helplessness.

There are only so many film schedules every year, and the best schedule must be reserved for the films with the greatest box office potential. With a budget of US $50 million, "psychological game" is already a blockbuster. Other film companies will basically arrange it in the summer or the end of the year. For danilisi entertainment, there will be such heavyweight projects as "Jurassic Park 2", "Apollo 13", "Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice" and 3D animation "beauty and the beast" next year《 "Psychological game" can only go to reclaim the unpopular schedule.

Simon also knows that this situation is inevitable and even more popular.

Ten years later, even marvel or DC superheroes can only be scheduled in February or September, because Disney and Warner have too many key projects. Moreover, these blockbusters are eroding the box office of the unpopular schedule, further squeezing the living space of other studios' films, making the stronger the stronger and the weaker the weaker.

Simon started his vacation on December 23.

In order to enjoy a stronger festival atmosphere, the family came to the east coast again. The area around the manor in the northern suburb of Greenwich was just covered by the recent snowfall, and the world was covered with silver. Simon also took his eldest son, who already knew about Santa Claus, and made a lot of Snowmen by the lake in the north of the manor.

Feixi's family is also here, and the manor on Christmas Eve is even more lively.

Three women in a play, if there is no careful thinking between each other, it is impossible. Fortunately, several women cherish this warm family atmosphere, and no one wants to destroy it.

After dinner, Feixi's parents returned to the villa next door early. Daniel also took the initiative to avoid it. However, Gemma didn't care much about it. The girl who didn't know she was smart enough liked Seattle very much. She held the little girl and didn't let go. The other two kids also nestled in their parents' arms. They sat in front of the fireplace and talked about all kinds of things until late at night.

Because Sofia had accidentally exposed something before, on Christmas Eve, Simon was very miserable to sleep on the sofa.

Sophia is pregnant.

Probably during the first snowfall on the east coast last month.

Sophia didn't want to tell anyone too early, even Simon. In the afternoon, when the women were preparing dinner together, Janet saw signs of pregnancy and vomiting in the kitchen, and then asked, Sophia had to admit it.

After giving birth to Melbourne and little Nick, Janet didn't want a third kid anyway.

I can't stand it.

However, Janet knows Simon's mind. Although her man doesn't take care of children, she hopes to have many children in her heart. It's certainly good for her to have a few more heirs to the huge industry of the Westeros in the future. Therefore, she doesn't object to other women carrying Simon's children. Especially after confirming some kind of blood relationship, Janet thinks that as long as it's Simon's Children, must also be inseparable from their own relationship.

Of course, the attitude should be put forward, otherwise, as a wife, I will lose face.

So Simon was sent to sleep on the sofa.

Just in the middle of the night, I couldn't help running out of the bedroom, holding a pillow, and like a little girl, I went to Simon's arms, so I went to sleep.

The next morning, aliya, who got up early and began to prepare for the housework, saw the strange scene of the host and hostess hugging each other and sleeping on the sofa in the living room.

Jennifer gets up early, too.

Call up two people, do not forget to check some, confirm that there is no cold and so on, and together rushed to the bedroom sleep.

As a result, Gemma, who stayed to sleep with Seattle last night, found that there were only Jennifer and three little guys on the table except herself. When she asked curiously, the female assistant only said that Simon and Janet were sleeping in. The little girl didn't know about her mother's pregnancy. Hearing that Simon and Janet were sleeping in, she felt very fresh.

It's Christmas.

Simon and Janet were just really lazy and didn't get up until more than ten o'clock.

I want to spend the whole day in bed, but I'm sure I can't be late for lunch.

Janet can invite the fessies over for Christmas Eve, but obviously she won't go to the rebalders' house with Simon. Around 11 o'clock, Simon and his female assistant board the helicopter to Manhattan.

It's also a family dinner at noon.

In addition to the rebolds, Jennifer's younger brother Philip also brought his girlfriend back. He was also a girl growing up on the upper east side of Manhattan. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he was obviously a little too attentive to Simon at lunch, which made her sister's female assistant feel dissatisfied with the girl and quietly warned Simon.

After lunch, I talked about a lot of topics. When I left, it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

In the evening, the Black Hawk helicopter returned to the Greenwich north suburb manor, got off the helicopter, took Simon's arm and went to the villa together. The female assistant leaned up to the man's ear and asked in a low voice, "do you start to feel trouble?"

Knowing what a female assistant means, Simon laughs, "of course not. I enjoy it."Jennifer rolled her eyes slightly.

In fact, during the afternoon chat, the Leibold couple once again hinted that Simon and Jennifer could have another child or two, which inevitably put some pressure on Simon.

Simon himself is nothing. In his heart, he is a man who doesn't care about the secular rules.

The key is the women around.

And, when the kids grow up in the future, will they blame their unreliable father for bringing them into the world? If there are one or two big dandies who don't work well, it will be the misfortune of the family. In the past, he joked that he wanted to raise a group of little bastards who are harmful to the world. Now as parents, he can't really do that.

Back at the villa, Janet is having coffee and chatting with Sophia.

Seeing Simon come in, Jeanette, who was full of laughter, immediately put away her expression, like I haven't forgiven you yet.

Sophia smiles, gets up and pours coffee for Simon and Jennifer. Everyone sits down. Simon is next to Janet, hugs her waist and asks Sophia, "what were you talking about?"

Sophia looked at her and said, "let's talk about it again. I don't know if you'd like to have another child, Jenny?"

The female assistant who just picked up the coffee was a little surprised. She looked at Janet, then looked at Sophia, hesitated, and then asked, "Sophie, don't you want to bring it yourself?"

"You know I'm very busy on weekdays. In recent years, my parents have been looking after Denny and Gemma. In the future, it will be better to put the children on your side. And Sophia paused and said, "I've discussed with Jennie, and the child is in her name, just like Searle."

After Seattle was born last year, it was named Janet as a twin, in order to be a right person.

In the first half of the year, because of the news exposure during the confrontation with the Hurst family, the outside world already knew that Seattle was actually the child of a female assistant. However, although the truth is known by many people, the outside world has recognized Seattle's identity, even in Australia.

This kind of external mentality is very subtle, and even some are similar to the common sons raised by their wives in ancient China.

In any case, it's good for children. Seattle can be known as "westero" in the future, not as an illegitimate child.

Sophia is a very rational woman. It is impossible that she can't see the benefits of all this to her children. This afternoon when Simon and the female assistant were away, she took the initiative to mention it to Janet.

judging from the state of their conversation when they entered the door, Janet obviously agreed.

Of course, Janet doesn't take care of her children very much. At the beginning, Melbourne was so fresh that she lost it to Veronica. If little Nick and Seattle were not born together, the female assistant could take care of her son together. I'm afraid that her second son would still be handed over to Veronica. Now, she just promised a title, and the child's support would definitely fall on the female assistant.

Jennifer looked at Janet again, got confirmation, and said, "if you don't worry, I'm fine here, but maybe you'll be reluctant to give up in the future."

At the beginning, the female assistant also thought about giving the baby to Janet completely, but after her daughter was born, she looked at a little girl in her arms and suddenly changed her mind.

Sophia smiles. Over the years, women have gone through the world, and their minds are much firmer than those of Jennifer. They also know that this is the best choice for their children. Naturally, they won't change their mind temporarily: "as long as you like, I want to thank you first."
