“yes！” After checking the progress of the package he had booked on the Internet, Charles couldn't help but clench his fists and shouted low - today is the release day of the DVD of "The Fifth Sally", and the DVD he had subscribed to on Amazon was almost there. If you love to play and watch, come to WWW. LＷXＳ５２０。 COM Charles stopped by the surrounding video stores for lunch and walked through several stores in a row to sell out, which kept him in a state of mind all day until he was sure that he should be able to receive the package before the end of work, which condensed his interest in continuing to work.

"After a while, I go straight home after work, order takeout on the way, so that I can get home with the takeaway, change out of my suit in five minutes, and then it's movie time." Charles pursed his lips expectantly, and the mouse habitually shook on a few frequently visited websites, but restrained himself from clicking on it: now there must have been many netizens who bought DVDs and began to post to show off, and even started posts to discuss the information revealed in the director's cut and comment tracks, for movies like "The Fifth Sally" that value suspense, and for deep enthusiasts like Charles who refuse to spoilers, before he himself finished watching the DVD, the current forum is a mine, and it must not be easily clicked.

"Charles," the internal phone rang suddenly, and the front desk informed him lifelessly, "I have your courier, remember to take it with you later." ”

went to the front desk to retrieve the familiar Amazon box, Charles unwrapped the package, happily and lovingly stroked the DVD cover, after checking the quality of the plate, he rubbed his hands and opened the work document with enthusiasm - finish the work early, there is no need to work overtime today, the comments on Rotten Tomatoes have a lot of praise for the director's extended version, it is said that a lot of bloody scenes have been added for the sake of grading, as a cult lover, Charles's expectations for tonight have even exceeded a recent date.

"Let's get to work." While muttering, he began to type quickly, "I hope the information given in the director's cut about the ending can be clearer, now it can be paused, whether the truth is that Roger is crazy, or if there is really a sixth Sally, it should be possible to interpret the director's original intention by pausing......"

Charles isn't the only fan who is thrilling about 'Sally the Fifth' Brain-burning films', DVD sales have always been very high, and many viewers can't wait to use stop frame to crack the information flow given by the director: with the continuous progress and development of the film industry, now, a new film fashion is also quietly popular, that is, the screen is filled with rich detailed information, but it is not deliberately blurred or close-up in the shooting, so that after the audience follows the distance of the camera and the director's guidance, and enjoys A-Side smoothly, they can also discover their own B-Side story through detailed observation in the DVD version。 This format is especially popular among cult fans, and "The Fifth Sally", while not a pure cult film, follows the path of this two-sided story, and Charles had already noticed Roger's medicine cabinet while watching the movie - he was desperate to know if Roger had been secretly taking psychotropic drugs throughout the movie. But alas, the cunning Finch didn't let him discover all the aftertastes of the story in the theater, including how Ginny fought those gangsters, and whether she was psychotransgender or lesbian...... These details that may slow down the narrative structure are hidden in the film in fast shots, and interested fans can naturally complete and interpret the potential storyline in the DVD through pauses, screenshot analysis, forum discussions, etc.

"I wish I could see Jennifer's performance soon." On all occasions, excited moviegoers are waiting for the delivery, the end of class, and the end of work with the same mood - most of these trendy moviegoers have adopted the online booking method to ensure that they get the DVD in the first place. "Alas, why hasn't the disc arrived yet, forget it, let's take a look at the trailer of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", ......"

With a few clicks of the mouse, the familiar background music of "Pirate 1" sounded again, and on the computer screen, a pirate flag fluttered in the wind, and a low and powerful male voice sounded, "After the last adventure......"

There is a scene of Elizabeth and Will fighting swords on the screen, an overhead shot, showing Elizabeth's dexterous figure unreservedly in front of the audience, in the small courtyard, she is as beautiful and dangerous as a flower butterfly, the sword blades continue to fight with the rhythm of rotation, making a crisp 'clang' sound, a beautiful sliding camera brings her smiling face out, Will seems to be confused by her smiling face, the offensive slows down a step, and Elizabeth's sword tip is as fast as a poisonous snake to his throat -

"Beautiful!" Here the camera is pressed to pause, followed by a rewind and replay of the progress bar...... Compared to Jennifer's smiling face, this audience obviously prefers her neat skills. "J.J's action scenes are definitely her overlooked highlights, and I noticed it in "The Fifth Sally", her martial arts scenes are very clean, but there is a kind of deadly danger, very edgy ......"

Yes, over time, Jennifer. Jefferson has unwittingly cultivated a group of pure fans - compared to the core fans who will hang out on fan forums, follow street photography, relive talk shows, laugh and cry for Jennifer's romance, these fans don't pay attention to her private life (unless something really happens), they are really fascinated by Jennifer's performance in the film, some fans like her stubbornness and depression in "Prada", and some fans like her acting show in "The Fifth Sally", Some fell in love with her play. If anything, those core fans like Jennifer. Jefferson's looks, her sweet temperament, and the story behind her still like Jennifer's words like an idol star. So this new group of acting fans is completely concerned about the most essential thing of Jennifer as an actor, whether Jennifer's appearance is very amazing, and even their secondary concerns, they care about her performance, her temperament, and her soul-stealing charm...... It can be said that as long as her acting skills are still there, no matter how much turmoil Jennifer herself has caused, they will continue to support Jennifer with great loyalty.

What these two groups of fans haven't realized is that their expectations for Jennifer are actually very different and difficult to coincide: for the first group of fans, although "The Fifth Sally" made Jennifer win the actress award, their support for the film is not high, many people are fanatically looking forward to Jennifer's "Pirates of the Caribbean", and for the second wave of fans, they are half attracted by "The Devil Wears Prada" and "The Fifth Sally", and they are interested in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" 's expectations are just mediocre, but I really want to know which literary film she chooses to star in next, the more brain-burning, the more marginal, and the more challenging, the better, Jennifer has now won the Oscar, and a popcorn series like "Pirates of the Caribbean" doesn't seem to be too suitable for her, doesn't it?

In addition to these audiophiles who are at the forefront of the times, there are many completely Oscar-oriented customers in video stores across the United States who ask the DVD store owner, "Is there still "The Fifth Sally"?" ”

After the Oscars, "The Fifth Sally" has received much more attention than "Crash", not only because it includes the best actors, but also because its subject matter is much more exciting than "Crash". Jefferson's recent series of news, under the high degree of topic, the number of customers who come to ask about the DVD of her work has also skyrocketed, and some video stores have even made a small 'Jennifer Zone', however, at the moment, next to "The Devil Wears Prada", there is a grid empty - the boss shook his head regretfully, "Man, you're late, the last disc has just been sold, maybe you can try "The Notebook" - or "Pirates of the Caribbean" - "

It's not that these bosses underestimate the charm of "The Fifth Sally", but although most of the Austrian films are based on DVD profits, but when it comes to the absolute number of sales, they are certainly not comparable with sales predators like "Pirates of the Caribbean", considering the topicality of "The Fifth Sally", these bosses have actually almost doubled the usual number of initial sales, but no one expected that DVD sales would be like this - for the general public, All they see is one or two sold-out video stores, but to the market, the DVD sales of "The Fifth Sally" are a real number.

Counting the number of online pre-orders, the first-day sales of "The Fifth Sally" exceeded 30 million, even after deducting the number of pre-orders (which are usually contributed by die-hard fans), the sales turnover of the day reached an astonishing 17 million, yes, "The Fifth Sally" still can't compete with "Pirates of the Caribbean" for the final total sales amount, nor can it compete with it for the profit amount of all the peripherals, but in terms of its investment amount, its return on investment ratio is already far higher than almost all Olympic films, It's even about to catch up with another demonic phenomenon film "The Devil Wears Prada". Prada's global box office eventually dropped to 440 million, and the global sales of DVDs were about $300 million, but the cost was about three times that of "The Fifth Sally". What about Sally? At a cost of more than 10 million US dollars, the global box office finally fell to 210 million, and the DVD sales volume is not a problem to exceed 100 million according to such a good trend - the return on investment of "Prada" is not even comparable to such an Austrian literary film!

This market figure did not attract a lot of media coverage, but it shook many studios: DVD sales are the most low-key and deepest piece of cake around all movies, and it can even be said that many Hollywood movies can barely match the cost at the box office, and the reason why companies are willing to make sequels is entirely because they rely on DVDs to make profits. However, since 90% of DVD sales will be reflected in the financial report as a cost, there are still different opinions on how profitable this piece is, but it is certain that if a film can only barely recoup its cost at the box office, and the film company is happy to launch a sequel on time and quickly, it means that it must perform well in the field of DVD sales, so the film company can't wait to develop the next one.

"The Fifth Sally" alone, Jennifer. How much real money did Jefferson make for her big dream? If the rumors in the industry are true, this film implements a strict 3 or 3 cents, and the sales of DVDs alone are enough to make Jennifer . Jefferson and Christopher. Hanks has been eating without food and clothing for several years, whether it is Universal, Fox, or Paramount, they are now a little envious and jealous of Disney: this actress who can support the box office, sell discs, win awards, and know how to pick films has actually been recruited by Disney, and the 150 million preferential rights paid by Disney for this do not seem to be too preferential at all, but people can only admire their business vision. Jennifer. Jefferson is a hen that lays golden eggs, from her debut to the present, every film seems to be refreshing the previous return on investment ratio, and has never missed a beat in film reviews - if before that, the Big Five had a sour conspiracy theory about the big dream falling to Disney and Jennifer holding hands with Weinstein, then now, in front of the DVD sales of "The Fifth Sally", they can only sigh to themselves, according to the current trend, Just 150 million yuan of stocks can buy Jennifer Jefferson's tendencies, and this kind of trading is not a loss at all......

Any blockbuster news, like a pebble thrown into a pond, will never only cause a ripple, "The Fifth Sally" has achieved a small miracle in DVD sales, so that the world is even more determined to put Jennifer. Jefferson stayed on the "Avatar" project, and accelerated the pace of salary negotiations, and began to try to raise cash for the project - even for Universal, it is not easy to come up with hundreds of millions of cash in one go.

This news also made Robert. Iger is more comfortable in the board of directors, after all, to outsiders, the 150 million preferential rights are 'just 150 million', but for the board of directors, 150 million internal price shares almost represent 1% to 2% of the equity, for a large listed company like Disney, it is equivalent to introducing another individual shareholder who has a lot of say in the game. In a short period of time, Disney welcomed not only the Jobs family, the largest individual shareholders (the result of the Pixar acquisition), but also a minority shareholder, Jennifer Brown. Jefferson, this cannot but be felt, Robert. Mr. Iger seems to have been a little too relaxed in keeping the company's shareholding structure stable. And after Disney's big dream, the DVD sales of "The Fifth Sally" also made Robert feel good, and it turned out that he made a very wise decision. Jefferson has formed an inseparable fate with Disney.

"I know you actors don't eat dinner, but breakfast should be a time to feast." Robert smiled and tossed a piece of squeaky bacon onto Jenny's plate, and distributed it to his wife, eldest daughter, and son-in-law, and then sat down opposite his wife with his hands, "Eat, eat, Jennifer, while the bacon is not cold, enjoy your fat ration as soon as possible." ”

Compared with the condescending cordiality at the beginning, and then with hesitant overtures, after Disney's successful stake in the big dream, "Sally" released a satellite, Robert's attitude is now as kind as treating family - in fact, Jenny is really invited to the Iger family's private farmstead, to enjoy a short weekend vacation with them, and even an American family breakfast made by the CEO himself, which is enough to show how far her and Iger have come now.

Jenny took a sip of orange juice, cut a piece of bacon and put it in her mouth, she used some acting skills, and while sweetly chewing on this piece of overly salty and overly thick fat, she smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Bob, I didn't know you had such good cooking skills, emmm, yummy!" ”

Bob smugly gave her a 'hit' gesture, and Willow laughed and said, "It's a shame Cesare can't come, otherwise you'll have tasted my yogurt salad." ”

Her playful words provoked a burst of laughter, but even Jennifer, who had been paying attention to it, didn't bother - she didn't need meat anymore. In exchange for what identity, now that Disney has injected capital, as the CEO of Disney, Bob holds an unknown number of incentive options for the Disney Group, but in any case, it will not be much more than her preferential allotment, even if Bob. Egger, and she are also a certain degree of colleague relationship, and there is no strict distinction between each other, let alone exchanging their bodies for anything.

"Yes, it's a pity that Cesare can't come," she said self-deprecatingly, "without him, I don't even know how to pour a glass of water, let alone talk about business, and to be honest, I'm a little nervous right now, Bob, please, don't talk too esoteric." ”

It wasn't all sincere, but on the weekend when Cesare had to negotiate a contract with the theater for the release of Friends Rich, Jenny was reluctant to talk to Bob about something too detailed, and she couldn't help Cesare right now, but at least she tried not to hold him back.

Bob laughed, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the complicated details of the allotment cash-in—"

Jenny didn't need to pretend to be confused, and Willow said coquettishly, "Bob, don't talk about business at the breakfast table. ”

"My bad, baby." Bob greeted Jenny kindly, "This is our handmade blueberry jam, you must try it......"

Egger's estate is located in the countryside near the city of Los Angeles, and it occupies a fairly large area, which is actually not inferior to Michael. Jackson's 'Neverland' is also a converted farm, with plenty of recreational facilities, and after dinner, Willow and the children go to the horse farm, while Jenny and Iger wander through the gardens near the horse farm, enjoying the warm sunshine in the woods and the cool spring breeze.

"I heard that "Avatar" is almost finalized," or Bob broke the happy silence first, turning the topic to the next investment direction of Big Dream, "After the release of "Pirates" in June, will you join the crew to shoot?" Or could we have arranged the filming of Alice in Wonderland before that? ”

Although in terms of voting rights, Jenny and Cesare are far ahead, but this does not mean that Disney will ignore the investment direction of Big Dream, Bob's words are very skillful and soft, and will not arouse Jenny's rebellious psychology, but rather remind Jenny that she and Disney still have a film contract, and at the same time, it implies that the progress of her "Alice" project depends entirely on her wishes, in other words, this project and herself have been tied together.

A business person who can become a CEO always has a lot to learn in dealing with people, Jenny secretly wrote down Robert's communication skills in her heart, and said frankly, "Avatar is still in the negotiation stage, but if it can, Big Dream hopes to participate in the investment." I'm very confident in the project – honestly, Bob, I think if I had put Alice after Avatar, maybe it would have been better at the box office. ”

She smiled and uncovered the bottom herself, "Of course, this is also for my personal career considerations, you know, I already have "Pirate 2" this year, and there will be "Pirate 3" next year, "Avatar" is likely to be released in 08 or 09, if "Alice" is released after Avatar, so that my big productions will not conflict with each other, and the exposure rate will always maintain a stable and high exposure level, which is very beneficial to me." ”

Robert was not angry because of this, but nodded appreciatively, "Indeed, your idea is very reasonable, but why does it have to be after "Avatar"?" ――In my expectation, "Alice" should also be released in 08, as a follow-up supplement to "Pirate 3", after all, "Pirate 4" will definitely not be released in 08, but I don't understand why we want to tie the schedules of "Alice" and "Avatar" together. ”

Isn't that because the box office success of "Alice" was completely a ride on "Avatar"...... Jenny silently complained in her heart: The quality of the film "Alice" itself, if it is put in 11 or 12 years, it will definitely not get 1 billion box office, if it is not for the market after "Avatar", the hunger and thirst for 3D and visual spectacle, Disney is extremely lucky to have such a fantasy film with a similar theme, and there is enough time to convert "Alice" into 3D in the later stage, 1 billion worldwide? Dream on, it's good to be able to get a global 500 million. After all, this film is not so shocking in terms of visual spectacle, and it is not very moving in terms of storytelling, it completely belongs to the fire method of creating heroes in the times. If she can't be bound to "Avatar" because of her, maybe it will become the first film to change from a big hit to a hit because of her butterfly effect, and since she has to participate in the production, then of course Jenny can't let this happen.

"Actually......" Although Cesare was not optimistic about her plans, Jeanne was determined to try her best to convince Robert, and she said with a smile and a bit of mystery, "Not only do I think we should tie Avatar together, Robert, but I also think we should take advantage of the good time when Universal and Cameron have not yet agreed on Avatar and bring Avatar back under their command - I assure you, Robert, if you can believe me, this is a decision you will definitely not regret......"

The author has something to say: Note: The information about Alice here is true.

Sorry for the wait...... I'll do it today

XD, guess Robert will be obedient?

If you want to recover the second watch, you should have to wait for the chair to arrive, and the current chair is torture to sit for an extra second...... (But don't worry, the chairs are almost here!) It's either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!
