The best venue for the Titanic-themed exhibition is undoubtedly the Rosarito set in Mexico. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, after the discussion, everyone agreed that this would not work at all.

Not to mention visa issues, it is impossible for most movie fans to take a cross-country trip in order to visit the filming location of a film.

What's more, the security of the Mexican-American border is also a big problem, and Eric felt it during his trip to Mexico last year, if a tourist is robbed or kidnapped during a visit to the set of "Titanic", or even accidentally killed, the firefly will be very passive. These kinds of things happen to be very common in Mexico, where drug dealers are entrenched and gangs are everywhere, and Cameron's friend and Mexican director Guillermo del Toro, who first introduced and assisted him in building the set of "Titanic" in Rosarito, was just getting famous in Hollywood, and his old father in his hometown was immediately kidnapped.

But that's not the case in Los Angeles, which has received more than 30 million visitors a year from around the world in recent years. Los Angeles is a movie mecca in the hearts of movie fans all over the world, and most tourists come to Los Angeles to basically visit movie-related attractions such as Universal Studios and Disney World, which provides sufficient customer source guarantee for the "Titanic" theme exhibition.

After an afternoon of discussion, Eric finally decided to put the "Titanic" theme exhibition in Los Angeles Firefly Studios, and the model of the Titanic built in Rosarito will also be dismantled as it is, transported back to Los Angeles to be reassembled, and rebuilt, and opened up pavilions, restaurants and other areas inside for visitors to better visit. Although it would cost a lot of money to do so, the money was nothing compared to the huge profits that Titanic would bring to Firefly.

At the beginning, Eric bought 100 hectares of land in Preavista, although after the expansion of the studio over the years, most of the land purchased at the beginning has been consumed, but it is more than enough to open up an area specifically for "Titanic", as a legendary masterpiece destined to be recorded in the history of world cinema, "Titanic" also deserves such treatment.

The group has a dedicated team that builds and maintains several of the world's largest Disney parks, known as Dream Engineers.

The plan is determined, and this experienced team will also be responsible for the next work.

During the discussion at the meeting, there was also a proposal from the top management of the group to directly expand the Firefly Cinema into a tourist attraction in imitation of the model of Universal Studios.

This proposal made Eric quite excited, but if it weren't for Disney's brand resources, Firefly had accumulated over the years that could provide tour resources for the studio There are not many projects, not enough to support a theme park, this plan can only be temporarily abandoned, but "Titanic" is undoubtedly a good start, as long as it can be successful, Firefly's next movie projects that are not suitable for Disneyland can open up attractions in Firefly Studios, and accumulate to a certain extent, It's only logical that Firefly Studios will be transformed into a tourist attraction.

In order to complete "Casino Royale" as soon as possible, Eric did not rest on the weekend, and in the last two days, he completely finished the post-production of the film, and he did not need to worry too much about the next film rating work and the pre-publicity work.

In the new week, Eric hopes to have a few days off, but he can't be idle due to the rush of things.

On Sunday night, March 16th, FFM's elaborate production of "The Black Road Family" officially began to air, Eric had great expectations for this TV series, but except for personally intervening in the casting process to select the actor and determine the former James Gandolfini in the original time and space, he did not interfere in other aspects, and Eric also instructed Weinstein to delegate power to David Chase as much as possible to the main creator of this TV series.

The reason why "Black Road Family" can be rated as No.1 TV series by many media in the original time and space is that this film completely breaks the traditional TV drama model and creates a new and meticulous narrative mode. If these management, who have a traditional production mindset, interfere indiscriminately, "The Kurodo Family" is likely to be reduced to a traditional form, losing its original character.

Although there are some differences from the original after all, the production idea of the main body has not changed.

Therefore, just after the first episode was broadcast, it attracted the attention of many film critics.

"Entertainment Weekly" directly gave a near-perfect score for the drama review, and described "The Kurodo Family" as a "TV series full of surprises".

A well-known film critic from the Boston Globe even gave an enthusiastic review of the drama.

"The Kurodo Family is a new and surprisingly special series."

The male protagonist, Tony Seprano, is the leader of a gang in New Jersey, but his gang does not have the pomp and circumstance of the Corleone family in "The Godfather", but is just a small group of five or six people, and the usual guys are only collecting debt protection money, and the biggest industry is probably the strip club. Even, in addition to this gray identity, he is also an ordinary middle-aged man who has suffered a mid-life crisis, two restless children, a neurotic mother and his wife, all of which have caused him all kinds of troubles, which even made him have to turn to a psychiatrist. ”

"Therefore, it is almost difficult for us to find any bright spots in the characters alone. But this creative drama is precisely under this ordinary appearance, opening up a new layered narrative mode for us, the narrative structure of the series is eloquent, not messy at all, and even, the screenwriter's control of the plot structure is perfect, which makes people reminisce repeatedly and can't help but look forward to the arrival of the next episode. ”

Eric didn't know much about the process of "The Black Road Family" from its inception to a hit, so he originally thought that the series would get better and better like "Breaking Bad" later. But the response to the film after the first season aired far exceeded Eric's expectations, and in a call with Harvey Weinstein, Eric also asked Harvey if the media reflected whether it was the result of his deliberate research, and Harvey gave a negative answer with a smile.

At the same time, under the good publicity in the early stage, the premiere of "Black Road Family" also created a good number of viewers of 1.76 million, close to 40% of the total subscribers of FFM TV, as a paid cable station, every viewer of FFM TV is a valid subscriber, plus the program does not insert any ads, and there is no need to count people aged 18 to 49.

The good start of "The Kurodo Family" almost immediately alarmed the main competitor HBO, and in the new week, it was announced that it would start the production of a self-made drama. The reason why it is said to be 'again' is mainly because although HBO has also announced that it will produce self-made TV series since last year, due to the slow implementation efficiency within the Time Warner system, HBO has not yet announced the official list of self-made TV series projects until the start of the broadcast of "The Black Road Family".

Of course, Eric clearly remembers HBO's first self-made drama, which was not "Lust City" or "The Black Road Family", but a "Prison Storm" that was not too famous but of equal quality.

Since HBO's response is so slow, it is of course impossible for the project to fall into the hands of HBO, FFM has already bought the script at the beginning of the year, and as long as "The Kurodo Family" gets a good response after it is broadcast, the production of "Prison Storm" will start soon.

On weekends, although Eric went to work as usual, Christina did not leave, but stayed at Sharp Corner Manor. The girl, who had planned to come to the manor for the weekend, heard the news, and only complained to Eric on the phone.

Monday, early in the morning.

Eric hung up the phone with Harvey Weinstein and walked into the dining room to read today's newspaper.

Christina was wearing a crop top T-shirt and jeans, with an apron tied around her waist that almost wrapped her petite body, and she ran around like a bee, bringing breakfast to the dining room before sitting down opposite Eric, but this Nizi's expression was a little strange today, looking like worship, or awe, which made Eric feel a little inexplicable.

Taking a sip of the hot milk at hand, Eric half-jokingly asked, "Why did you suddenly look at me like that, or did you just find out that I was so handsome today?" ”

"No," Christina smiled, looked down at the stack of newspapers in front of Eric, raised her hand to point something, but was stunned, stood up, and said inexplicably, "I remembered, I looked at it in the morning, and it landed on the sofa by the curtain wall." ”

Eric watched curiously as Christina ran out of the kitchen, soon returning with a magazine.

It turned out to be this month's "Forbes" magazine, and then I remembered that the official release of the new issue of "Forbes" magazine should be today, oh, this issue also has the national 400 rich list, no wonder this Nizi will show that expression just now, Eric's worth last year has reached 67.7 billion US dollars, before the release of this issue of "Forbes" magazine, most financial media predicted that he will be worth more than 80 billion US dollars this year, 80 billion, for most people, it is still quite shocking.

This year, in addition to the steady growth of the Firefly Group, Cisco, Yahoo, AOL and other companies under Firefly Investment have almost doubled their growth. Just like Cisco, which had a market capitalization of just over $10 billion this time last year, Cisco's market capitalization has increased to $33.2 billion based on recent stock prices. AOL's market capitalization also increased to $15.3 billion compared to last year.

"Come, let me see, how much money I have right now," with a smile on his face, Eric took the magazine from Christina's hand, and there was no surprise that it was a picture of him on the cover, just glanced at the title, Eric immediately widened his eyes in surprise, and said, "They really want to roast me on the fire." ”
