Chapter 568: Busy and Busy
"Congratulations to APLUS, dancing out of my life in the second week to get more than 15 million North Mi box office? It's a good momentum. ”
At the end of the week, the two returned to Chicago and met with Song Ya, who had just returned from Highland Park, "Did the trip to Asia and the West Coast go well?" Louis asked, crouching next to the pool.
"It's okay." Song Ya lazily climbed out of the water, took the towel he handed over and wiped it casually, "It's just a little tired, let's sit down." He went to sit down on the chaise longue first, picked up a martini with ice cubes and took a sip.
This week, he went to the book and several big cities on the West Coast, and he was indeed a little tired from flying around, and his grades were not bad, and he still couldn't beat The Lion King and True Lies after the global release of My Life, but he overtook Forrest Gump in the box office charts in some countries, such as Poland and Switzerland. So Amy and Linda still haven't come back this week, and they rushed to those countries to consolidate the market, and Beimi left it all to himself who carried the box office alone.
Both African-Americans and Asians on the West Coast are very supportive of the film, and some theaters in their neighborhoods are already preparing for long-term screenings, which is good news, even though long-term screenings will have a very low percentage of the box office. The fermentation of the movie's word-of-mouth has not reduced the attendance rate much, because Universal has increased the film schedule, so the box office of Beimi has increased instead of decreasing, but unfortunately, Warner's 'client (ultimate witness)' opened the painting and won 30 million, resulting in a drop in the ranking.
So the current box office rankings are Forrest Gump, The Client, True Lies, The Lion King, Dance Out of My Life, and Baseball Angels.
"I had a nightmare when I first caught up on my sleep," Song Ya pointed to the villa in front of him, "Schwarzenegger was driving a Harrier fighter jet to strafe this house." He was all shadowed by the three mountains that were difficult to cross in the same schedule.
"Hahaha......"
Both Luis and Brenda listened.
"What about you? What's the news here? Song Ya asked.
"It's nothing, Brenda and I are quite idle, running the record store all the time." Louis replied, "Dance My Life soundtrack sells well, and it's not uncommon to see boys on the road learning from you to wear that T-shirt two-piece set." ”
At the time of San Francisco's promotion, Song Ya had learned that the sales of T-shirts for A+ clothing had risen sharply, and the short-sleeved cultural T on the outside was inevitably diverted away by other brands, but the plain long-sleeved T without any print, as well as the sleeveless T he wore to practice dancing in the second half of the movie, only A+ clothing had a large amount of goods prepared in advance, and the long-sleeved T was set inside, no tricks were needed, and the pure cotton was comfortable to wear, and the sleeveless elastic tight-fitting T-shirt had no signs of popularity before, and it was all brought into a hit by the movie.
Through Universal's movie peripheral channels, A+ clothing has also sold a lot of glowing belts, "Don't worry, Daniel is a master of selling records, and when the charts start to hit, the heat will rise all of a sudden, Brenda, you have to be ready." ”
He knew what Brenda was worried about, and said a few words to calm the army's mind.
"Oh, by the way, we saw your first album in Padgett, and the discount seems to be huge, but the actual selling price is about the same as the one in the Blockbuster chain, is that okay?" Louis asked.
"What do you mean?" Song Ya didn't understand.
"Some discount supermarkets seem to have raised the original price of records, so it looks like the discount is very fierce, but the price that consumers actually get is not much more cost-effective." Louis replied.
"It's just me or ......"
"It's all like that...... I don't know if it's against the law, but it's certainly not in accordance with the rules. ”
"Let me ask, Taraghi! Don't sleep! Call Daniel for me! ”
Linda wasn't there, and Song Ya pulled out his voice to call out Taraji, who was also catching up on sleep, "Hey, Daniel, I heard ......" he relayed Louis's concerns.
"THERE IS NO WAY, TARGET IS FIGHTING A RECORD PRICE WAR WITH PRICECOSTCO, BEST BUY AND OTHER DISCOUNT CHAINS, AND WE CAN ONLY DO THIS IN ORDER TO STABILIZE OUR MARKET PRICE." Daniel replied.
"Is that okay?" Song Ya asked.
"There's no way to do it if there's a problem, it's hard to do APLUS in record distribution now, pirated CDs and cassettes have too much impact, and you don't want to see you and Miss Kelly's record prices lowered, and my performance in '94 has dropped sharply, right?" Daniel said, "Don't worry, everybody does it. ”
"Well, you're a professional."
Song Ya asked a few more questions about the soundtrack in front of Brenda and Luis, and then threw away his hand.
"APLUS, TURN ON THE TV! Watch the news! ”
As soon as the two left, he received another call from Yeremov from Los Angeles, "What kind of black material did I break out again?" Don't look, those guys should stop in moderation, right? After all, next week, Jim Carrey's disguised monster is coming. "I finally had a busy day, so I didn't bother to run back to the house to watch TV.
"It's baseball news, and it's related to baseball angels!!" Yeremov shouted.
The Major League Baseball Players' Union has announced an imminent strike until a new collective bargaining agreement is signed. ’
'It is rumored that one of the triggers for this strike was the movie Baseball Angels, which is currently being screened......
"What the hell is this?"
Song Ya still got up and went back to the house to read the news, and couldn't help complaining, "They didn't strike in the offseason of the Football World Cup before, and they won't strike until the World Cup is over and will rematch?" Do the players mean they want to rest until next year? Baseball Angels even want to rub this heat? ”
"They don't seem to be going to give up after being held down by us for two weeks." Yeremov said.
"Let them toss, and when the disguised monster is released, they will be honest." Song Ya yawned, he asked Anne Fletcher about it, and the disguised Weird Jie was a big hit, and according to her, the whole theater would burst into laughter every three minutes. He didn't have any ideas, just lie down on the ground when the time comes, anyway, I have already won 30 million North Mi box office in the first two weeks of my life, and the global box office statistics will lag behind for a long time, and I have exceeded the task.
"Well, you have the final say, boss."
Yeremov was speechless, "By the way, Linton, the new president of Hollywood Pictures, wants to talk to you about the film adaptation rights and script cooperation of 'Have the ability to catch me'." ”
"Cooperation? Not a transfer? ”
"He doesn't want to sell."
"Don't want to sell a script that is piled up with dust in the warehouse?" Song Yacai didn't believe it, "It's still an old trick, let's hang them first, I'm not in a hurry anyway." He is really not in a hurry, judging from the changes in the faces of Xiao Lizi and others in the cat-and-mouse game movie, it is estimated that the original movie will be released ten years later, and the filming date will be at least nine years later.
"I see, you can rest well, boss."
However, this incident in the baseball world brought an unexpected development, after the news of the player strike, the baseball star card market, which has been hotly copied, suddenly collapsed, and led to a chain reaction in the star card collection circle such as football and basketball.
Fleer, a company specializing in star cards, has seen its earnings plummet, and the company was acquired by Marvel earlier, which also led to a sharp drop in Marvel's stock price...... And it has implicated other comic books, toy peripherals and other collectible markets under Marvel......
The next day, NBC's financial channel broadcast the news, "Perelman, the tycoon who owns Marvel, is going to have a hard time, he is under the congressional investigation of several bank transactions from several years ago...... "He also has a large number of related industrial companies in his hands." ”
"Hahaha...... I never understood why those plastic pieces of paper were worth so much money. Song Yale was happy, he called LL Cool J, "How did you talk about the Blade project with Marvel?" ”
"Fxxk, those guys are just a bunch of crooks who want me to put my money into a movie project and wait for them to do the accounting."
LL Cool J also seemed to have a retrospective, "Why don't we do our own movie projects, how about taking me an APLUS." I have a script here, which is pretty much my personal autobiography. ”
"Huh...... There's a chance, uh, Taraghi, what are you looking for me? ”
Song Ya hurriedly found an excuse to hang up the phone.
