When the first theme was broadcast, news came from New York that the number of viewers had exceeded the 3000 million mark.

In this era, because several major public TV networks are still in the monopoly stage, there are many TV programs with 2000 million viewers, but 3000 million viewers is a threshold that is difficult to cross, and it is a process of quantitative change to qualitative change.Usually only important awards ceremonies or sporting events can achieve such ratings.

The number of viewers of the first Victoria's Secret Fashion Show exceeded 3000 million, which is enough to be included in the annals of TV history.

Daenerys Entertainment plans to turn the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show into the "Super Bowl of the fashion industry", because the 3000 million viewers also seem to be worthy of the name.

However, 3000 million is still not the end.

Speaking of which, due to the time difference between the east and west coasts, the real-time viewing data collected by Nielsen and other agencies is not actually the real real-time data of the east and west coasts, because the west coast has not broadcast yet.

This real-time data is more accurate and is an indirect forecast based on previous years of experience.The US TV industry has been developing for nearly half a century. Although it is a forecast, with the support of a large amount of past data, this forecast is not far from the reality.

Finally, at nine o'clock, the hour-long TV show ended, and it was still six o'clock in the afternoon on the West Coast.

Simon is still in Malibu Daenerys Studios, and received the real-time data from ABC for the first time.

When the first Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was broadcast, the highest number of viewers reached 4170 million, and the average viewership reached about 3520 million.

It's just that the average viewership of more than 3500 million has guaranteed that the broadcasting rights purchased by ABC for 500 million US dollars in the first place are a huge profit.Usually, for TV shows like ratings data, $500 million is simply out of the question.

Therefore, when the ratings data is released, ABC has already begun to test the cooperation of next year's Victoria's Secret Show.

Although it has only been signed for one term, and according to industry management, unless a TV station voluntarily gives up, other TV networks will not be able to intervene in the TV program won by one TV station. However, next year's Victoria's Secret show broadcast rights will definitely not be 500 million The dollar can be easily won.

On the third day, accurate ratings data came out.

For the first Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, the most viewers broadcast by ABC TV network finally reached 4210 million, the average viewership was 3550 million, and the viewership ratings of the core audience aged 18 to 49 reached 23.7, that is to say, all American The fashion show was tuned in by 18 percent of the audience aged 49 to 23.7, the most attractive demographic for advertisers.

The core audience in the United States in this era is roughly 1.2 million.

The core audience ratings are not the audience group who watch TV programs in real time, but the 1.2 million audiences as the base, regardless of whether these people watch TV or not.

Therefore, the audience rating of 23.7 is even more astonishing. This is equivalent to about 2800 million core viewers who watched the Victoria’s Secret Show, accounting for 80% of the total audience. Compared with other public network TV programs, the core audience The proportion of the audience is often only 50% to 70%.

This also further increases the 'net content' of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

The live show on November 11 attracted only professional fashion media.With the broadcast of the program on the ABC TV network on November 7, this time, it triggered a big discussion of all media types.

The mainstream "New York Times", "Los Angeles Times", "San Francisco Chronicle", etc. on both sides of the Strait have reported the grand TV broadcast of the Victoria's Secret Show.

A group of media that dominated American public opinion reported on it, and more paper media naturally began to hear the news.

For a time, words related to 'Victoria's Secret' were everywhere on a large number of paper media in North America.This trend also quickly spread overseas.

Through this big show, the Victoria's Secret brand has completed a further leap in popularity.

The 40 Victoria's Secret Angels participating in this big show are undoubtedly the most direct beneficiaries.

In the past, I could only increase my media exposure through various forms of climbing. Even if I succeeded, it was often just a vase next to a certain singer. This time, the forty Victoria's Secret Angels became the absolute protagonists. , according to media reports, the status of Victoria's Secret Angel is no longer dependent on other people.

Facing the numerous cooperation invitations for Victoria's Secret Angels, the major model agencies were overjoyed, but at the same time, the first thing they thought of was to try their best to ensure their status as Victoria's Secret Angels.

It is conceivable that the competition for the next Victoria's Secret Angel will be extremely fierce.

The supermodel who was expected to become the spokesperson of Victoria's Secret Angel but failed to negotiate due to salary and other aspects, also began to regret at this time.

However, the five Victoria's Secret Angel spokespersons have undoubtedly become the most stable existence.

As for the rest, we can only hope that a certain young man who has absolute control over this big show will not make a big change to the Victoria's Secret Legion next year.

In addition, the five pieces of background music have also attracted great attention from music fans, and they have asked about the release of these song albums through telephone letters and other methods.

Daenerys Entertainment also soon announced that it will launch a videotape of the Victoria's Secret show during the week of Thanksgiving.

As for the associated single, at least until Easter next year.

The purpose of Daenerys Entertainment's doing this is of course obvious, which is to further increase the popularity of the Victoria's Secret brand through video tape sales.

Among the enthusiastic reports, of course, there is no shortage of critical remarks.

Many conservative media people have accused the big show of being too gaudy and exposed, which is likely to have a bad influence on young people.

ABC also responded quickly to this, and will label this program as TV 14 next year, reminding that this program is not suitable for audiences under the age of 14.

Of course, when the time comes, children will still insist on watching it, which is beyond the control of ABC.

All this noise, the final benefit, or the Victoria's Secret underwear brand.

After the previous Victoria's Secret live show was held, the sales volume of Victoria's Secret showed a significant increase. With the TV broadcast of the Victoria's Secret show, the relevant sales data increased significantly.

Chapter 511 The Thanksgiving File Opens (Revised)

On the second day of the Victoria's Secret TV show, on November 11, the Thanksgiving schedule starts.

Columbia Pictures' "4000 Years of Surprise", which cost $400 million to produce, became the first film to open on a large scale during the Thanksgiving schedule, with 2491 screens released.

Gaomen Pictures' "Scent of a Woman" was screened on a small scale on the same day.

As Gaomen Films' key award-winning film this year, "Scent of a Woman" has only 20 opening screens.

In addition to the two key films, Godwin Films' "Red Lips" and Orion Films' "Let the Sadness End Before Sunrise" were also released at the same time. Within a block, it basically belongs to the cannon fodder level of the Thanksgiving schedule.

另一方面，丹妮莉丝娱乐万圣节档期上映的《午夜凶铃》，继10月30日到11月5日的首周2879万美元开门红后，随着口碑和人气的持续发酵，11月6日到11月12日的次周票房跌幅只有非常微弱的13%，再次进账2503万美元。

In two weeks, the cumulative box office of this Japanese horror novel adaptation film has reached 5382 million US dollars.

Considering that the popular Thanksgiving schedule is coming up, and there is no other similar film competition for "Midnight Ring" in this schedule, the distribution team of New World Pictures predicts that the total North American box office of this Japanese-style horror film is expected to It is expected to reach more than 1.5 million US dollars.

The North American box office of more than 1.5 million US dollars was enough to ensure that "Midnight Ring" was firmly in the top ten of the North American film box office list in 1992.

In order to save costs, "Midnight Ring" was chosen to be shot in Australia, and Nicole Kidman's salary was not too high. Coupled with the Australian tax rebate, the final production budget of the film was only 1300 million US dollars.

With a production cost of US$1300 million and an expected North American box office of more than US$1.5 million, the return on box office cost of more than 10 times has made the entire Hollywood jealous.

Moreover, this is only an income from the domestic box office in North America.

When the film is a great success in North America, the follow-up overseas box office, video and TV broadcast revenue will also rise.

The entire project's projected gross over the next few years will easily surpass most of Hollywood's other blockbusters outside of the DC Cinematic Universe project.

When Simon bought the right to adapt "Midnight Ring", Hollywood followed suit and snapped up the copyrights of Japanese horror novels.With the success of "Midnight Ring", many Japanese-style horror film projects in Hollywood have entered the preparation schedule.

Speaking of it, the key to the success of "Midnight Ring" is a brand-new horror film style, a horror film mode that is very different from the traditional Western screaming blood plasma killer.

This model is based on oriental ghosts and ghosts, but it does not necessarily have to be based on oriental horror stories.

The haunting events in the West are actually very rich as well.

Therefore, when other studios tried to follow the trend of "Midnight Ring", Simon asked New World Pictures President Danny Morris to collect relevant materials that took place in North America.

As of the release of "Midnight Ring", the cumulative box office of "The Crying Game", which opened on September 9, reached 25 million US dollars.

10月30日到11月12日这两周，《哭泣游戏》以500余块的放映银幕规模，分别继续进账722万美元和537万美元，累计票房也持续攀升到3313万美元。

The arrival of the Thanksgiving schedule will also slow down the downward curve of "Crying Game".

Gaomen Films predicts that the final North American box office of "The Crying Game" is expected to be between US$6000 million and US$7000 million.

Moreover, this low-cost literary film with excellent box office and word-of-mouth will also become the focus of Gaomen Films in the upcoming awards season together with "Scent of a Woman".

In Simon's memory, both films were successfully nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture that year.

This time, as long as the box office performance of "Scent of a Woman" meets expectations in the next few weeks, Gaomen Pictures will focus more on "Scent of a Woman" in order to avoid diluting votes in the awards season next year.

Of course, in order to stimulate the subsequent box office potential as much as possible, "The Crying Game" will also not lack nominations.

Because there are so many excellent movies produced by itself, Daenerys Entertainment has been giving up in recent years.

Take this year as an example, Daenerys Entertainment's 1992 film, "Howard's End" which participated in the Cannes Film Festival in May this year and was released in August, "The Crying Game" which was released in September and the Thanksgiving schedule. "Scent of a Woman", the three films in Simon's memory are all nominated for best picture at next year's Oscars.

However, there is only one Best Picture after all.

In order to avoid votes being divided, Daenerys Entertainment can only apply for nominations for one film, which will inevitably lead to other films being snubbed.

After its release in mid-August, "Howards End", adapted from the British novelist Foster, has stayed in North American theaters for 9 weeks, with a total domestic box office of 2612 million US dollars.

For a costume literary film with a production cost of only 600 million US dollars, this is already a very impressive achievement.Had it been released by another studio, it would have certainly been a major focus of next year's awards season.However, under Daenerys Entertainment, even without "Scent of a Woman," "Howards End" would fall behind "The Crying Game," which is expected to gross over $6000 million in North America.

Many filmmakers in Hollywood have already realized this.

For example, last year's "Silence of the Lambs" director Jonathan Demme.

Compared with the original time and space where "The Silence of the Lambs" won the 1992th Oscar in 64, in this time and space, Daenerys Entertainment's other two films "Farewell to the Piano" and "Thelma and Louise" Under the shock, this phenomenal horror movie only received a few corner nominations.

Daenerys Entertainment has completely given up on the 64th Oscar due to its long-term award-winning strategy.

Hollywood filmmakers tend to pay more attention to their box office performance, but they will not ignore honor.

Because of the experience of "The Silence of the Lambs", Jonathan Demme's "Philadelphia Story" prepared this year did not continue to cooperate with Daenerys Entertainment in the end, but chose to be invested by MGM under Simon's personal lead.

"Philadelphia Story" is a movie about the rights protection experience of an AIDS lawyer played by Tom Hanks. Just by looking at the type of subject matter, those who are familiar with Hollywood's operating rules can find that the film is obviously heading for the Oscars.

On the original timeline, Tom Hanks won his first Oscar for Best Actor with "The Philadelphia Story", and became the first consecutive Oscar winner in the following year by relying on the phenomenal "Forrest Gump" Oscar winner.

Not only that, but the box office of "The Philadelphia Story" is also very good.

After Simon postponed the production plan of "Forrest Gump", Tom Hanks, who had a tight schedule, was able to rejoin "Philadelphia Story". season.

It is worth mentioning that, apart from the fact that Tom Hanks may create another miracle, Jonathan Demme is also doomed to miss the Oscar this time.

Because, at the end of 1993, there was Spielberg's Schindler's List.

Simon chose to postpone "Forrest Gump". In addition to the overcrowded schedule at the end of 1993, he also took into account the factors of "Schindler's List".

It would be a shame if two films, both Oscar hopefuls, meet.

Staggering a year, Daenerys Entertainment can also be the biggest winner of the Oscars for two consecutive years as a matter of course.

With the status of the two films in Hollywood film history on the original timeline, who dares to say that "Schindler's List" is not qualified for the Oscar?Who can question the strength of "Forrest Gump"?

After the Victoria's Secret TV show was completed, there were special personnel in charge of the follow-up matters. The Simon couple rushed to Melbourne to participate in the forthcoming event held by David Johnston and Leslie Wickett on November 11st. Wedding, while planning to stay in Australia until after New Years.

丹妮莉丝娱乐年底档期的重中之重，11月20日上映的《小鬼当家2》和12月18日上映的《侏罗纪公园》，也都将由公司团队自行运作。

Melbourne, Australia.

The Johnston Mansion on the banks of the Yarra River in the northern suburbs of the city became more and more lively as David Johnston's wedding approached.

Both Anthony Johnston and Norman Johnston lived in,

The Simon couple originally wanted to live in their nearby villa, but because of the old man's compulsory order, they had to move here together.

Veronica also brought the little guy into the mansion at the same time.

Add David Johnston and Patrick Johnston at the end and you have a big family.

Leslie Wheatett's family was also well attended for their daughter's wedding.

Arrived in Melbourne on November 11th, and then spent a week in various busy entertainments until the wedding on November 15st. David Johnston and Leslie Wickett left Australia to start their honeymoon trip , Melbourne is free here.

Simon and Janet continued to live in Melbourne for a few days, and the couple also left for Tasmania, which is across the sea from Melbourne.

Over the past few years, Simon has never stopped buying land in Tasmania.

Aware of the buying behavior of the young super-rich, Tasmania's land prices have also risen.

However, after all, it is a piece of land located on the edge of the world. Although there is no shortage of some original land owners who are up for sale and followers with certain ideas, there are not many people who are willing to spend money in Tasmania for nothing. .

After continuous expansion, the total land area owned by Simon in Tasmania has reached 1.3 square kilometers, equivalent to 320 million acres, which has exceeded five percent of the total area of ​​Tasmania. one.

Of course, these are basically barren mountains and woodlands without any output.

Unless Simon plans to log the virgin forest in the territory, it will be difficult for him to obtain any economic output.

Of course, Simon didn't intend to do this. He should also be regarded as an environmentalist in his bones.

It's just that, because of the pessimistic nature of his character, Simon doesn't deliberately change too many things, but he doesn't mind doing things that can be done casually.

In order to protect the ecology, Simon even bought and closed a copper mine in his own territory, and invested funds to restore the forest that had been severely damaged by mining.

Owning such a large piece of land and doing nothing is somewhat wasteful.

Janet once suggested that Tasmania could be developed into a movie location shooting base. The pristine natural landscapes such as forests, grasslands and lakes here are no worse than those in New Zealand next door, but Simon still did not agree.

He only intended to use this land at the ends of the earth as his own paradise, and he didn't want too many people's attention.

In addition, the doomsday shelter built deep in the Tasmanian forest has also been completed.

Complete military facility level.

After the project was completed, the construction team withdrew. Even though many people knew that there was such a fortification in the depths of the dense forest, most of them could not find it without accurate directions.

For more than a week in late November, Simon and Janet lived in a wooden house near the shelter. During the day, they rode horses, climbed mountains, drifted and hunted, and at night they rested in the shelter. interior space.
