As a world-renowned cutting-edge female writer of children's literature, Joanne's wedding ceremony not only caused a sensation in the British upper class, but also attracted the attention of many book fans all over the world.Its influence can even compete with "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" released before Christmas and Microsoft's officially launched home game console Xbox.
The release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" in the global film market, just like its first two films, is as powerful as a rainbow and invincible. The horror score of more than 390 million US dollars broke the box office record set by itself on the day of its premiere last year, which stunned people in the film industry all over the world. In just two days after its release, its box office broke through in the North American film market. With a total of 8000 million US dollars, it once again broke the historical record of the North American film market maintained by itself.
Both movie fans and media people are very optimistic about "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", thinking that it is likely to break the box office record of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" again, become a new record creator, and even challenge "Titanic". "The throne of the world's top movie box office.Moreover, there are also many movie fans who have spoken out to keep Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom.Hopefully "Pirates of the Caribbean" will become a series and continue.
However, when James Cameron publicly announced that he would temporarily withdraw from the direction of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of films, and that the screenwriter "Fang" would also withdraw temporarily with him, it immediately caused a great uproar among movie fans around the world.Fans have exclaimed that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies has come to an end.People don't understand that such a box-office success has won a movie that fans generally like.How could it fall to the point where the leading actors, directors and screenwriters gave up one after another.Without screenwriter "Fang" and director Cameron, even if there is still Johnny Depp left, can the next "Pirates of the Caribbean" still maintain its due standard?
For a time, an astonishing number of movie fans gathered in front of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company and Jade Bird Film Group Company. People appealed to the executives of the two companies to try their best to keep "Fang" and Cameron.They don't understand, this is a masterpiece of a money printing machine, how could the two major companies give up the possibility of shooting a sequel?Some people even linked this incident with the unfair treatment of "Fang" in Bahia, Brazil not long ago.The matter that had gradually subsided was immediately brought up by movie fans, and it was quickly pushed to the top of the wave.Even a large number of Brazilian nationals went to protest in front of the Brazilian government.
The Brazilian government, which was also shot while lying down, had to publicly announce that the Bahia state special police incident had nothing to do with "Fang" no longer writing the screenplay for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of films.Moreover, although the investigation and evidence collection of this incident has not yet concluded, the Brazilian government and the local government of Bahia State have reached an understanding with "Fang" and promised to deal with the violators fairly.
Last thing.It was Cameron who stood up and gave the end.In an interview with the media, Cameron explained that he and "Fang" have temporarily withdrawn from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of films, mainly for two reasons.The first one is that after shooting three "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies in a row, both of them need to rest and re-enrich themselves.It is a very labor-intensive thing.The second reason is that the two have reached an agreement to work together again to create "Terminator 3"!so.The two had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies.
After the news came out, it immediately aroused cheers from fans all over the world. People were delighted that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series was not about to withdraw from the screen, and they were also happy that after many years, the classic "Terminator" was finally released. There's a sequel coming.Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company and Jade Bird Film Group Company once again became the stars concerned by the industry.
As for Microsoft's home game console xbox, due to Microsoft's high-profile publicity, and gamestation's masterpiece "Resident Evil 2" chose it as the first game platform, it has also attracted the attention of many home game console players around the world.Although, compared with other home game consoles, Microsoft's xbox is the latest one to go on the market, but its first game lineup is the largest. There are a large number of new works from well-known game manufacturers in Europe, America and Japan.
At midnight on December 21st, Microsoft held grand midnight first sale events for Xbox in New York and San Francisco. Bill appeared in Times Square in New York with a high profile, and when the clock struck zero, he personally delivered the first Xbox game console Give it to this lucky player.At the same time, many Hollywood celebrities appeared at the sales scene in New York and San Francisco, cheering for the sales of xbox. They all received xbox home game consoles presented by Microsoft.In just a few days, xbox has achieved sales of more than 2 units in the United States.Of course, "Resident Evil [-]", which was bundled with it, also sold more than [-] sets.
Although the sales volume of "Resident Evil 2" is completely different from the sales volume of "Resident Evil" at the beginning.However, the players who bought it praised the quality of "Resident Evil 2" and generally gave high marks.The media generally believe that the current dismal sales of "Resident Evil 2" compared with "Resident Evil" are fundamentally due to the sales restrictions of the xbox.And when it lands on Sega's "Aquarius" and Sony's ps2 in the future, sales will be greatly improved.And gamestation company has also become the world's first game production company that has blockbuster products on the console platforms of four game console manufacturers.It has made countless colleagues envious.
For the menacing Microsoft and Japan's three major game console manufacturers, they are also quite pressured.In particular, Microsoft has positioned the price of the xbox at 290 dollars, and the powerful hardware performance of the xbox makes its cost high, which means that every sale of an xbox will cause Microsoft to lose hundreds of dollars!In other words, the more you sell, the more serious your losses will be!
Although it is said that several major game manufacturers, except for Nintendo Co., Ltd., basically have the phenomenon of price inversion when the new host is first launched, which needs to be compensated by software sales, but generally after entering the mid-sales period, with the sales volume With continuous improvement and continuous technological innovation, we can achieve a balance of payments, and in the later stage, we can even realize benefits.But there has never been such a large profit sharing like Microsoft.People in the industry generally believe that in the entire sales cycle of the Xbox, it is impossible for Microsoft to achieve hardware break-even!
In fact, xbox finally sold more than 2000 million units worldwide, and the annual losses caused by this exceeded one billion US dollars!This means that Microsoft, which is rich and powerful, has a system software business support, and has an extremely good financial situation, if it is replaced by another company, no one can bear such a burning of money!This caused xbox to be condemned for vicious dumping from the moment it was launched, but Microsoft did its own thing and ignored the accusations of outsiders at all.
"Bill's patience is very good. With the xbox, he said, 'The first generation of game consoles is like a game. After playing it once, at the end, he can say, uh, he can do it again, and that's a success. !'" Fang Mingyuan held the red wine, stood on the periphery with Zheng Jiayi, looked at Joanne and Neil who were surrounded by the crowd and said with a light smile.
"Spent billions of dollars just to get the qualification to play again?" Zheng Jiayi said with some difficulty.
"Hehe, I can understand his thoughts. Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group is actually spending billions of dollars just to obtain the qualification to go down with Boeing and Airbus." Fang Mingyuan sighed.The more high-end technology field and the industry with fewer competitors, the higher the threshold will naturally be.There are only four game console manufacturers in the world, plus Microsoft. Naturally, it is much more difficult to join this rank than to open a food company or a steel factory.
"Hey, I just remembered when you said that Qinxi Airlines gave our travel agency too little discount for buying tickets. Yours is an md90 plane, and other airlines are Boeing and Airbus. You can buy discounts for tickets." It’s no different from Qinxi Airlines.” Zheng Jiayi said with some dissatisfaction, “There are quite a few people in the company who are quite critical of this.”
Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't ask too much about the operation of Qinxi Airlines, so he naturally didn't know what Zheng Jiayi said.
"I'll ask about this matter later, and I'll give you an answer." Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said.Although Qinxi Airlines has started operations, except for one route from Fengyuan International Airport to Hong Kong International Airport, the rest are domestic routes.Since it is a new company, it is still in the stage of continuously opening up new routes and gaining recognition from passengers, so the prospect of profitability is still unclear.
Only then did Zheng Jiayi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hey, Joanne sneakily pulled you aside yesterday, what did she talk about for a long time?"
"Huh? Ah, I didn't say anything, just asked me when the filming of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" will start." Fang Mingyuan touched his nose and said.
"Hmph! You're just fooling me!" Zheng Jiayi glared at him and said coquettishly.Fang Mingyuan laughed "hehe" twice but didn't talk to him, but there was a slight change in his eyes when he looked at Zheng Jiayi. (To be continued..)
