Are feelings for browsing or for collection, so that every day will be unforgettable.
How long have we endured hardships, how long have our eyes been wet, can we know that sadness is the legacy of love.
Wandering a few double beds, and changing beliefs several times, the rings were exchanged without hesitation.
……
After dinner was ready, Jennifer came over and called the two of them to have dinner. Hearing the singing from a distance, she couldn't help but walk in.Following Simon, the female assistant, whose Chinese level is already very high without knowing it, can naturally understand the lyrics, feel the ups and downs, the ups and downs, her eyes are inexplicably moist, and she is a little envious of the two snuggling together by the piano.
Janet saw Jennifer, stood up and walked over, pulling her to sit beside the man.
One left and one right.
Listen together.
The singing came to the end unconsciously.
……
Everyone is like this. They have enjoyed fear before refusing to be the lamb of love.
Memories are the moonlight that cannot be caught, it will become dark when it is held tightly, and the false back will disappear into the clear.
The sun is shining on the body, waiting for all karma to be forgiven.
Love does not stop, and it takes a lot of courage to go to the end of time.
……
Don't be disappointed, the soul-stirring is for the most beautiful ordinary.
……
When the last note ended, the light had completely dimmed.
The Indian girl Aaliyah was standing not far away. She wanted to come over and turn on the lights, but she hesitated a little and didn't bother her. She couldn't understand Chinese, but she was immersed in it unknowingly with an inexplicably infectious singing voice.
After the music ended, the three snuggled together. After a while, Simon spoke first: "How is it?"
Janet rested her head on Simon's shoulder, but said unforgivingly: "I really want to beat you up."
"Forehead……"
So he turned to the female assistant for comfort.
Jennifer also leaned on Simon, but stood firmly on Janet's side, with a smile: "Me too."
Simon was very aggrieved, and simply turned his gaze to Aaliyah who was standing still not far away.
Indian girls don't dare to join in the fun.
The head was quickly moved back by Janet: "Hey, do it again."
"Why don't we have dinner first?"
"Come again!"
"As ordered."
After repeating this several times, I was finally able to have dinner.
After listening to it several times after the meal, Janet decided that this song will be released as Simon Westero's latest single, and that Simon will sing it himself, and the planned MV will be labeled "To Jane" again. Label.
Look, this is my man, who can write Chinese songs so well.
Simon also had some ideas.
Now that there is "Love Transfer", then "Love Call Transfer" can also be made according to the trend.
Coincidentally, Simon has been planning to restart China's film market that has fallen to the bottom.In addition to making catalytic films such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", the cost of urban light comedies like "Love Call Transfer" will not be too high, and Chinese audiences at this stage have not seen it yet, so it must be fresh. full.
Not only that, through this operation, it can further help Daenerys Entertainment to open up the situation of China's entertainment industry.In terms of music, a cover singer can be promoted. In the field of film, it is to use this film project to win over and sign some filmmakers, and start the process of entering the Chinese entertainment industry in an all-round way.
The next day was another Friday.
7 month 26 day.
Simon held a meeting specially for this in the morning to explain the matter.
At the same time, during the week when the Atlanta Olympics started simultaneously, box office data for another box office cycle in the North American film market was delivered to Simon's desk early in the morning.
Last Friday, July 7th, because of the Olympic Games, there was only one large-scale opening movie in North American theaters. MGM produced the romantic comedy "Different Instinct" starring John Travolta.
The film tells the story of a kind-hearted car mechanic who not only did not explode in place after being struck by lightning, but unexpectedly obtained the supernatural power of never forgetting, whether it is advanced mathematics or various foreign languages, he can learn it in minutes, and even developed to teleportation in the end. The level of things, and then it is the Happy Ending of becoming a CEO, winning Bai Fumei and going to the pinnacle of life.
A very classic routine of a commercial film.
The production cost of the film was 3000 million U.S. dollars. Facing the impact of the Olympic Games, this well-reputed film has achieved very good results without blockbuster competition. The box office reached 2467 million U.S. dollars in the first week and successfully reached the top Weekly box office champion position.
Following "A Different Instinct", No.2 on this week's list was won by Eddie Murphy's new film "Professor Fat", which started production last week.In the two weeks since the filming started, the cumulative box office of this black comedy produced by Fox reached 46 million US dollars.
With 6000 million in two weeks, whether the total North American box office of "Professor Fatty" can break through [-] million as in the original time and space depends on the follow-up performance.
Hope is actually great.
Because basically there will be no other heavyweight films to start production in the future, all the old films that are still in theaters can calmly reap the long-term box office.It has already entered the late stage of release, just like "3: Spectre" and "Sleepy Hollow", which ranked No.4 and No.007 on the list in the past week.
Chapter 996 Promotion (Revision)
In the sixth week of its release, "Spectre" was squeezed to No.007 in the weekly box office list, and the single-week box office still had 3 million US dollars. After two and a half months of production, the cumulative domestic box office of this super blockbuster has reached as high as 1552 million US dollars, a distance of 2 million from the 4773 million threshold itself, basically locked in the 3 million box office club.
"Sleepy Hollow", which started painting two weeks behind "007: Spectre", was released for the fourth week and ranked fourth on the list, earning 1517 million US dollars.It has been released for a month, and the domestic box office of the film reached 1 million US dollars.
The box office volumes of "Sleepy Hollow" and "007: Spectre" are obviously not in the same order of magnitude.However, the box office performance of this fantasy horror film, which can be used as wallpaper in every frame, has already reached Simon's expectations. The film's estimated domestic box office has increased from the initial 1.5 million to 1.7 million. Daenerys Entertainment has recovered more than 1% of the total investment of 90 million yuan, and the cumulative global box office so far has allowed Daenerys Entertainment to quickly enter the profitable stage.
After the top four, the single-week box office of No.5 "Birdcage" directly fell within the range of tens of millions of dollars, with a box office of $907 million in the third week of its release.
This alternative homosexual comedy starring Robin Williams has a cumulative box office of over 4795 million in North America. This time, due to various reasons, the box office of the film is only 7000 million U.S. dollars in three weeks, although it is expected to be around [-] million U.S. dollars at the box office. It still exceeded MGM's expectations, but it failed to replicate the outstanding achievements in history.
The box office performance of "Birdcage" is also better than that of Disney's "The Brave Island".
The original three main creators are only veteran 007 actor Sean Connery's "Brave to the Deadly Island", although it still burned Disney's production budget of up to 7000 million US dollars, the third week of the same release, the single-week box office There are only 813 million US dollars left, and the cumulative box office in three weeks is 4625 million US dollars.
France's Vivendi swallowed this old film company, which can be called a symbol of American culture, with great ambitions last year. As a result, just like Sony, which bought the 'Statue of Liberty' at the beginning, pots of cold water poured down one after another.
On July 7, a new box office week opened.
Due to the opening of the Olympic Games in the last box office week, the North American single-week box office volume fell from 1.67 million US dollars to 1.11 million US dollars, a drop of 35%, and the impact was obvious.
This week's Olympics continues to heat up, and there are no commercial films with an opening scale of more than 1000 yuan in North American theaters. The only one that can be sold is the new Coen Brothers "Fargo" produced by Gaomen Films. This crime drama It won the Best Director Award at the previous Cannes Film Festival, and the media reputation is very good, with 715 opening screens.
Entering the weekend, the Atlanta Olympics, which lasted smoothly for a week, suddenly changed.
Atlanta Olympic Century Park, which was specially built to welcome the Olympic Games, suddenly exploded at an open-air concert that gathered thousands of people at one o'clock in the morning on July 7. Because the crowd was too dense during the explosion, more than 27 people were on the scene. Injured, 200 people died directly, and in the ensuing hustle and bustle, there were still people who were seriously injured and died one after another.
Such a bad bombing shocked the whole world.
Clinton paid close attention to the bombing overnight and asked the FBI to set up a special investigation team. Countries around the world also expressed concern and sympathy for the bombing, and at the same time condemned the criminals.
Speaking of which, there were so many bombings in the United States in the 90s, such as the World Trade Center bombing in 93, the Woodfield Manor bombing in 94, the Oklahoma City bombing in 95, and even the Atlanta Olympic bombing in 96. However, these are only explosions with relatively large impact and casualties, and they are only counted within the territory of the United States.
Not to mention anything else, Simon basically knows the ins and outs of the Atlanta Olympics bombing as a follow-up.
First of all, the casualties of this bombing were obviously more than the information in Simon's memory, because in the past, the bomb backpack was discovered in advance by a patrolling policeman, but it did not have time to detonate, but it happened during the evacuation of the crowd. The explosion, so the number of deaths was very small, and more were just injured, but this time it was not detected in advance, thus causing more than 10 direct deaths.
It is ironic to say that the policeman who discovered the explosive backpack in advance was once slandered as a suspect, faced with a crusade by the whole people, and his life was almost ruined.
Moreover, in the original time and space, Eric Rudolph, the suspect in the bombing in 1996, was not captured until 10 years later. After interrogation, he was still a repeat offender. The Olympic attack was a protest against the Clinton administration's deregulation of abortion.
Even if he knew the inside story, Simon just watched all this with cold eyes.
The several consecutive operations two years ago were all for the sake of establishing prestige. It was actually very risky to tell some people that if they played against the Westeros family's crooked ideas, he would not hesitate to kill them, and even interfered in the mid-term elections back then.
If he intervenes in the Atlanta Olympics bombing this time, he will definitely end up in the same fate as a certain policeman who was wronged to the point of collapse.
So it's business as usual inside the Westeros system.
After the chaotic and turbulent weekend, on July 7, Verizon Telecom officially announced the opening of the IPO roadshow, and the listing date was confirmed on August 29.
Because he plans to take a family vacation after Verizon is listed, he will stay in Australia for about half a month, and Simon's recent work schedule is also fuller.
Be busy, August is coming soon.
The first big event in August is Yeltsin's second-term inauguration on August 8.
For Yeltsin's re-election, the outside world is undoubtedly concerned about the Russian business oligarchs who have successfully penetrated into the Kremlin, such as Berezovsky, who is rumored to be fighting for the post of prime minister.
Simon noticed a detail.
On the day of the inauguration, in a group photo of the core of the new Kremlin government released by Yeltsin's government, a middle-aged man with a short build and thin hair appeared casually in the corner of the photo.
More definite news came soon after.
On the second day of Yeltsin's inauguration, someone was included in the first batch of adjusted Kremlin core lists, and he was promoted from the former deputy director of the Presidential Affairs Bureau to the deputy director of the Presidential Office.
The powers of the two positions are very different. The former is equivalent to the deputy chief executive, after all, he is only a minister of Yeltsin, and there are not many state affairs that he can intervene in. The latter is the deputy director of the Russian government's confidential department directly responsible to the head of state.Moreover, in the announcement of the Moscow authorities, this time someone's deputy director will be in charge of foreign economic relations and the formulation of related laws and policies, which is already close to the core of state power.
Chapter 997 It's Still About Money
The Internet Shock Department in my memory often uses a standard title 'XX or Become the Biggest Winner', and every time I see it, I only feel some kind of weird malice.However, with the closing of the Atlanta Olympics on August 8, many people began to look back and suddenly discovered that Ygret might become the biggest winner.
Not to mention anything else, but on the second day of the closing ceremony, when the stock market opened in the new week, Eaglet’s stock price rose by 3.3% that day, from $4391 billion at the opening to a high of $4536 billion, which is enough to prove this. a little.
This is certainly not for nothing.
On Monday, August 8th, newspapers, television, and Internet platforms controlled by the Westeros system began to publicize a series of data traffic on the network platform of Igret Corporation during the Atlanta Olympic Games on a large scale.
According to Eaglet’s statistics, during the 17 days of the Atlanta Olympic Games, a total of 3.2 million Internet users around the world participated in the interaction on Olympic topics on Eaglet’s portals, online forums, social networks, and video sites. , accounting for 4.6% of the total number of 70 million Internet users in the world at this stage.
Because of this large-scale hotspot incident, the network traffic of Eaglet's entire platform has skyrocketed by 27% in more than two weeks.
Among them, Facebook social network and YouTube video platform have particularly bright growth in users and content during the Olympic Games.
Although it will not be mentioned in the report, it is undeniable that the bombing on July 7 completely overwhelmed traditional TV and print media with more immediacy and content-rich online platforms.
On the weekend of the bombing, the visits of Igret’s entire platform also reached a peak. Within 24 hours of the incident, there were more than 8000 million directly related blog posts from all over the world. In the same 24 hours , the YouTube video platform also saw an increase of 27 videos directly from the Atlanta bombing.
Therefore, popularity drives traffic, traffic contributes to revenue, revenue stimulates the market, and market value drives stock prices.
The stock price rose by 3.3% in a single day, and the wealth of all shareholders of Eaglet increased by US$145 billion in one day.
This is just the increase in the share price of the Eaglet family.
As the leader of Nasdaq, the rise of Eaglet’s share price has driven the entire new technology sector. At the close of the day, the Nasdaq index also rushed to 4765 points, although it failed to reach 7 points at the end of July as expected by the market some time ago. It broke through 8 points at the beginning of the month, but it is not far behind.
At the same time, the total market value of all stocks on the Nasdaq market has reached $5.6 trillion.
Although the whole world understands that the Nasdaq's bubble is already quite serious, such a huge sum of market value that directly surpasses the size of Japan's GDP still makes too many capitals excited and crazy about it.
Simon is unavoidably worried.
After all, the higher you climb, the harder you fall.
Therefore, Simon rushed to San Francisco on Monday and stayed in Silicon Valley for three days, mainly to make some adjustments before the Nasdaq fell off the cliff.
The world is actually in an irrational state most of the time, just like the two world wars, which seem inevitable, but are actually accidental, because in a rational state, no one would want to start a war that would kill tens of millions of people A world-class war, however, the war happened just like that.
It's the same this time.
No one wants the Nasdaq to rush all the way, accumulate bubbles to the maximum and then shatter. However, under the general trend and in the face of interests, even Simon dare not stop it rashly.
You can only do what you can.
In fact, there is not much that can be done. It is nothing more than taking precautions so that the new technology companies involved in the Westeros system can survive the cold winter in the next few years. Valuable new technology companies will survive the cold winter together to avoid fundamental damage to the foundation of the Internet industry.
To do these, in the final analysis, there is actually only one word, money.
Without food in a famine, people cannot survive.
In the cold winter of capital, enterprises can only survive if they receive life-saving funds.
Simon discussed openly and honestly with several leaders of Eaglet for three days, and roughly finalized the plan. First, he began to tighten the pockets of Eaglet. After the IPO, Eaglet held more than 200 billion US dollars in assets. Huge cash reserves, even if Simon has repeatedly emphasized that the company will inevitably spend a lot of money, this must be changed.
Second, build a new batch of large data centers around the world again.
Even though Eaglet's cloud computing services are becoming more and more mature at this stage, many companies still prefer to build their own servers. After all, subconsciously, most people are more resistant to relying on others.
However, once the industry's cold winter comes, many new technology companies will undoubtedly find it difficult to maintain expensive "self-built houses" and have to "rent houses".Eaglet's new batch of data centers will mainly provide this demand.
In the cold winter, with a 'house' and some 'food', one can basically survive.
