Chapter 1953 1955 [Poor response]

  But all bosses don't like people who have two hearts.

  If she can betray once, she can betray twice.

  So Yang Gongru deliberately followed Xiang Nan's words, and Xiang Nan really liked to listen.

   "Girls like you are rare now." Xiang Nan laughed again, "It's rare, it's rare. If I were the boss of ATV, I would definitely train you well."

   "Mr. Ning, you are flattering me." Yang Gongru waved her hand, "My parents taught me since I was a child that to be a human being is to be grateful, and the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. I have remembered this sentence until now."

   "Okay, not only good character, but also good tutoring, it's really rare." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I just want to stay in Xiangjiang for a while, if you want, how about staying with me and helping me relieve my boredom?"

  Yang Gongru was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said with a smile, "Of course I am willing. It is also good to learn knowledge from you and broaden your horizons."

  Xiang Nan also nodded with a smile.

  …

   After staying in Xiangjiang for half a month, Xiang Nan brought Cong Shan and Ning Jing back to the United States.

  At this time, Universal Pictures is releasing the movie "A Couple Made With You" starring Lindsay Lohan.

  The story tells the story of a pair of twins who were separated after their parents divorced after they were born, but the two still met at the summer camp.

  Because of similar looks and the same personality, the two soon became good friends, and knew that they were twins, and learned about life after their parents separated. Then they decide to swap each other's lives and try to bring their parents back together again...

   This is a romantic comedy film adapted from the movie "Papa Loves Mama" in the 1960s. Among them, Lindsay Lohan not only plays two roles, but also plays each other in the play, which is equivalent to playing four roles.

  Just like Pan Yueming played in "White Night Chasing the Murder", he not only has to play the elder brother and the younger brother, but also plays the younger brother pretending to be the older brother, and the older brother pretending to be the younger brother.

  Pan Yueming was unanimously recognized by the audience because of his excellent performance. And Lindsay Lohan was only eleven years old when he was filming this movie, but he has been able to complete it very well, which shows his high talent.

   Moreover, she is not only talented in acting, but also very beautiful, very sweet and pleasant, so she not only touched the hearts of the judges in the industry, won the Best Young Actress Award at the Art Rookie Award, but also won the hearts of the audience.

  In the end, the box office of "A Couple Born" in North America was more than 60 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was nearly 100 million U.S. dollars. For a film that cost less than $15 million, this result can be said to be quite good.

  And this movie is Lindsay Lohan's debut. Her debut novel had such good results, which also made her the most watched child star in the United States.

  …

  In March, Universal Pictures released the movie "Titanic" directed by James Cameron and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.

   Last year, Xiang Nan spent 100 million U.S. dollars to take over the film from Fox Films, and then invested more than 80 million U.S. dollars to finally complete the filming.

   This movie also set a record for the most expensive movie in Hollywood, with a shooting cost of 210 million US dollars, which is much higher than the box office of most movies.

  If Xiang Nan didn't know how terrible the box office of "Titanic" was, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk. You know, now he has been regarded as being taken advantage of by everyone in Hollywood.

After all, James Cameron's best performance before, that is, "Terminator 2", has a global box office of only 520 million US dollars, so "Titanic" is likely to cause Xiang Nan to lose money, and Xiang Nan is also likely to lose money this time. Encountered Waterloo.

  Given that he has never lost an investment before, many people are waiting to see a joke this time.

  …

   Sure enough, after "Titanic" was released, the initial box office response was not good.

  The box office on the first day was only 10 million US dollars. In comparison, "Batman and Robin", which was released on the Christmas file last year, had a box office of 20 million US dollars on the first day.

   Therefore, the media, which is not too serious to watch the excitement, began to mock this movie, Xiang Nan, and James Cameron, thinking that they must lose their underwear this time.

   "With a filming cost of 210 million US dollars and a promotional cost of 50 million US dollars, Universal Pictures is expected to create the largest loss record in film history!"

   "Poor Leonardo, so young and handsome, with a bright star, but he is likely to sink into the deep sea with this big ship. Just like Chris O'Donnell."

   "Charles, the ever-victorious general, encountered his Waterloo. Although for him, a loss of 200 million US dollars is absolutely acceptable. But I don't think the shareholders of Universal Pictures will think so."

  Film critics are talking nonsense in the media.

  In this world, there are a lot of masters with red tops and white hats, who hate the rich and dislike the poor. In particular, Xiang Nan has been popular for 17 years since he filmed "Children's Veyron" in 1981, and has been popular all the time. Naturally, many people envy and hate him.

   Because of this, it is so easy to see him now that he is unlucky once, so naturally they rush to watch the show and say strange things.

  But Xiang Nan ignored them.

  Because he knows that the movie "Titanic" itself is a slow movie. In real life, when it first started, it didn't perform very well.

  But as time went by, the box office of this movie increased instead of decreasing, and finally won the weekly championship for fifteen consecutive weeks, which is equivalent to that in those four months, all movies were shrouded in its shadow.

  This is also the reason why Xiang Nan chose to arrange for it to be released in March. If it is scheduled for the second half of the year, many movies that should have been sold by Universal Pictures may be crushed by it.

  …

   Sure enough, as Xiang Nan expected, the box office of "Titanic" in the first week was not amazing, only more than 30 million US dollars, ranking fourth in the box office list.

  And you must know that most of the movies released in March are low-cost literary films, and the box office is not high. Therefore, the fourth place of "Titanic" is not only not worthy of glory, but a bit pitiful.

   This also made it suffer more ridicule and ridicule. Even the stock price of Universal Pictures began to fall. Within a week, the stock price fell by nearly 20%.

  Based on a market value of 30 billion U.S. dollars, if 20% of the market value, 6 billion U.S. dollars will evaporate out of thin air. This naturally made the outside world laugh even more.

  "A movie lost a Fox, and James Cameron made the biggest tragedy in movie history."

   "Fox Films is really wise. Not only did it get rid of the blame in time, but it also took back 100 million. Poor Charles, who thought it was an opportunity, turned out to be a trap."

   "The shareholders of Fox Films should really award Bill a gold medal. He saved Fox Films from the brink of bankruptcy in time." (Bill Kelmaker is the CEO of Fox Films).

  Not only newspapers and magazines make fun of it, but even radio and TV talk shows use it as a topic to make fun of. This made Cong Shan afraid to turn on the TV for fear of irritating Xiang Nan.

   But she was obviously worrying too much. Not only was Xiang Nan not angry, but he was also actively preparing for a new film project, so he had no time to talk to those people.

  Because he has confidence in "Titanic", he has confidence in James Cameron, and he has more confidence in Leonardo DiCaprio.
