Wake up by the telephone ring in the morning, Simon opens his eyes and finds that Catherine is looking at herself, with some confusion and panic in her eyes.

Simon held the woman in his arms, gave her a kiss on the lip, and then reached for the microphone on the headstock.

It's pat Kingsley. Because of the recording of "Johnny Carson tonight show", pat Kingsley, Simon's PR Manager, is also in New York in recent days. Kingsley's phone call is about a piece of gossip in the daily news newspaper in New York.

"The judges of Palme d'Or live in Cannes, westero.".

Natasha Kinsky's borrowing from Simon was picked out. The daily news played up the story as a piece of trivia news in the article. However, it is not difficult to find that the other party's fundamental purpose is to question the fairness of Simon's obtaining the golden palm.

Simon was not surprised at the news.

The summer season competition has entered the most intense stage, with more than 10 blockbuster new films coming out in recent weeks. Because of the characteristics of the box office market, at this time, if we suppress the opponent's momentum, we will be able to gain more market space.

Two people stick together, Catherine naturally hear Simon and Kingsley dialogue. When Simon hung up, Catherine's mood in her eyes had changed, but she still looked at him. Obviously, women's focus is not on the deep meaning of the daily news report.

Simon was watched by Catherine, had to take the initiative to explain: "I have nothing to do with that woman, and she has been married."

Katherine gave a hum, broke away from Simon's arms and said faintly, "it's Jennie's business. It has nothing to do with me."

Simon tried to get close to him with a smile, but Catherine pushed him away and asked, "what would you like for breakfast?"

Instead of answering the question, Catherine said, "you are responsible for mending my shirt buttons."

"It seems that there is no needle and thread at home. You can wear my clothes," Simon said, sitting up to get up, trying to find his shirt and gesticulating to the woman

Catherine reached over and gave him a push. "It's going to be seen," she said

As for the relationship, Simon knew that Catherine was more careful than himself, so he nodded, "OK, I'll ask Neil to send some stitches later."

After breakfast, Katherine still stays in her apartment and plans to leave quietly. Simon goes to the headquarters of Westeros company to discuss with James Leibold about taking new world entertainment by means of debt to equity swap.

On the other hand, the report in the daily news was just the beginning, and similar news came from the west coast. Denise film and Orion's public relations team immediately began to enter to guide public opinion.

The next day, vulgar novel was officially released in North American Theaters, along with Fox pictures' Tom Hanks' flying over the future and Warner Brothers' Chevy Chase 'funny farm.

In addition, the North American box office data of the past week are also available.

"Crocodile Dundee 2", which has 2837 open picture screens, won $30.17 million box office in the first full week and seven days, easily winning the box office champion in a single week. Taking into account the two days of the previous week, the total box office of the film has reached $34.92 million.

However, the public praise of "Crocodile Dundee 2" is in sharp contrast to its massive early publicity and large-scale screen opening. The media in North America almost gave the film one-sided bad reviews.

Variety magazine commented that "Crocodile Dundee 2" is "too plain as an adventure film, and there are not many laughs as a comedy.".

"New York Times" critics view is more intense: "most of the sequel's default strategy is to extract the advantages of the previous work as much as possible to give the audience more elements they like," Crocodile Dundee 2 "is like an idiot to do the opposite, it almost abandoned all the things in the first film, it seems mediocre and boring."

Although the media reputation of "the first drop of blood 3" starred by Stallone is better than "Crocodile Dundee 2", it is only relatively speaking.

Moreover, the box office revenue of the sequel "first drop of blood 3", which has invested 63 million US dollars in huge production costs, is equivalent to that of "Crocodile Dundee 2" in the first two days. However, in the first full week, the box office revenue of the sequel "first drop of blood 3" was quickly thrown away by the other party, with a total box office revenue of 24.63 million US dollars in seven days.

The box office of "Fengyun Jihui", third on the list, fell only 16% next week to close at $9.26 million. However, due to the weak start, the cumulative box office of Fengyun Jihui in two weeks is only 20.32 million US dollars.

"When Harry meets Sally" still ranks fourth, with a total box office of 97.55 million and a revenue of 3.32 million dollars in the 12th week.

Compared with the previous "Crocodile Dundee 2" and other new films, the three films released on June 3 have a very good reputation.Tom Hanks's "flying over the future" can be said to be the famous work of this Hollywood superstar, and also brought him the first best actor Oscar nomination in the original time and space. Chevy Chase, an old comedian, has also won a lot of praise for his funny farm.

However, these two new films are doomed to go down in the history of the film "vulgar novel" in front of no fight back.

The golden palm of Cannes Film Festival.

Robert De Niro, John Travolta, Robert Redford, Madonna, Sean Penn and other celebrities joined the popularity.

Simon from "Lola Run" began to accumulate a huge fan base.

High topic popularity brought by praise and controversy.

All these factors make vulgar novel the most popular movie this summer.

Obviously, in order to curb the momentum of vulgar novel, with the release of the film, some media simply stirred up the controversy over Simon's winning the Palme d'Or, and made no secret of suspecting that the Cannes Film Festival just passed might have the inside story of awards.

In the face of these doubts, Cannes officials have to respond publicly again.

Naturally, the media won't give up easily. Natasha Kinsky's borrowing of Simon's mansion soon became one of the most important inside evidence. Many newspapers are chasing this point and starting to fight fiercely.

Because this incident was related to the news, Natasha Kinski's rich Egyptian businessman husband also joined in and went to legane District of Cannes to take his wife home. It is obvious that Natasha Kinski, who is eccentric and stubborn, can not easily submit.

The two were originally separated. After they were rejected, the rich businessman in Egypt felt greatly humiliated and publicly announced that he would divorce Natasha Kinski.

As a result, things immediately became more lively.

Simon westero not only lures judges to manipulate awards, but also destroys other people's families. It's unbearable.

It's just that.

Before the media chasing this incident had time to concoct more "fierce materials", it suddenly turned 180 degrees.

On June 7, besieged by countless tabloid reporters from all over the world, Natasha Kinsky suddenly declared to the following reporter during a shopping trip that she did not support vulgar novel in the process of prize evaluation, and she voted for separated world.

As soon as the women's comments came out, all the media chasing this incident immediately became "WTF.".

What else can I do?!

Cannes Film Festival does not have the rigorous voting procedure of Oscar. Sometimes, if the judges can reach an agreement verbally, they can determine the ownership of the awards without voting at all. However, in the past, the voting process was started because of the difference of opinions of the judges.

Natasha Kinsky has publicly stated that the organizers of Cannes Film Festival, which had been in a bit of trouble under the media bombardment, immediately found the voting card from the newly sealed archives of the festival. Because it was a direct name card and Natasha Kinsky's handwriting was easy to recognize, the woman voted for "isolated world".

To confirm this, the relieved organizers of Cannes Film Festival immediately published a photocopy of Natasha Kinsky's voting card in the newspaper.

Ito Scola, a famous Italian director who was the judge of the previous main competition unit, also said publicly that Natasha Kinski did tend to "isolated world" in the process of judging and discussing. In the competition of Palme d'Or, "vulgar novel" and "isolated world" won 6-4 votes.

It was announced that even Simon, who had just returned to Los Angeles, was "WTF" himself.

Elder sister, I borrowed your residence and hired housekeeper, cook, servant, driver for you. You have to pay the bill. Is that really good?

Janet, who learned about it, was even too laughing to stand up and despised Simon.

Although the truth makes people laugh and cry, the inside doubts of some media's powerful attack disappear in an instant.

Such a tear, "vulgar novel" attention to a higher level. Moreover, most of the North American media's one-sided praise of "vulgar novel" and the audience's own word-of-mouth transmission of the quality of the film also make things reversed completely.

In the hustle and bustle, June 10, another week of the summer holiday, has passed.

From June 3 to June 9, the release of new and old films increased the North American box office this week to $92.67 million. Compared with the previous week from May 27 to June 2, the total box office in North America was only $73.87 million.

The high-profile "vulgar novel" won the new week's North American box office ranking without any doubt. The first week's box office was $27.53 million.

Although it failed to reach the $30.17 million level of "Crocodile Dundee 2" last week, no one doubts the strength of "vulgar novel".

After all, "Crocodile Dundee 2" has 2837 opening screens, while "vulgar novel" has 1569 opening screens. On average, "Crocodile Dundee 2" reached $10636 last week, while "vulgar novel" reached $17546.What's more, "Crocodile Dundee 2" only had "first drop of blood 3" as a competitor last week, and maybe it's just a weak box office "fortune fair". But this week, vulgar fiction is in a scuffle with four other films: "flying over the future", "funny farm", "Crocodile Dundee 2" and "first drop of blood 3".

After "vulgar novel", because of poor word-of-mouth and excessive exploitation of market potential by large-scale painting, the box office of "Crocodile Dundee 2" fell by 41% compared with last week, only $17.87 million.

But even so, with more than 2800 screens, the film's North American box office easily broke through the $50 million mark.

Third on the list is fox pictures' fly into the future, which grossed $12.59 million in its first week. Because fox pictures only arranged 1132 opening screens for the new film, this box office report card with a weekly average of more than $10000 is also good.

In Simon's memory, "flying over the future" has broken through 100 million dollars in North America. If history had not changed, "flying over the future" would have a very good box office curve next.

Stallone's "the first drop of blood 3" ranked fourth, and the box office decline was even more miserable than that of "Crocodile Dundee 2", reaching 47%. This week, it only received $10.62 million, with a cumulative box office of $35.26 million. According to this decline curve, the total box office of "first drop of blood 3" in North America is very likely to be lower than the production cost of $63 million.

Chevy Chase's funny farm came in fifth with $8.11 million at the box office in its first week.

Funny farm has 1557 open screen screens equivalent to vulgar novel, but its first week is only over $5000, less than a third of vulgar novel. Warner Bros.'s first film of the summer season was undoubtedly a dud.

With the start of $8.11 million, even if the following decline curve is good-looking, the total box office in North America is hard to get high.

In addition to the top five, Fengyun Jihui, the sixth, continued to earn $7.08 million in the third week of its release, with a total box office of $27.4 million.

Next.

"When Harry meets Sally", which ranked seventh in the list, took another $2.66 million at the box office. The 13 week old film finally broke through the $100 million box office barrier in the expectation of many people, with a total box office of $100.21 million, officially becoming the first North American film with a box office of more than $100 million in 1988.

"When Harry meets Sally" North American box office broke 100 million brought about by the discussion, some media suddenly released, Denise film successfully completed a box office relay.

"Vulgar novel" just got $27.53 million in box office in its first week. The film's reputation, CASS and popularity are impeccable. No one doubts that it can easily break through the box office threshold of $100 million in North America.

You know, when Harry meets Sally, the box office of the first week's large-scale painting was only $17.81 million, and the first week's performance of vulgar novel was almost $10 million more than that of when Harry meets Sally.

The box office of the two films exceeded 100 million in North America, which was the same as that of Simon westero last year.

Before that, in 1987, Simon's "Lola Run" and "Butterfly Effect" both had a box office success of more than $100 million in North America, while "death is coming" had a slightly lower box office performance of only $70 million.

It's just that.

Now, half of 1988, Simon westero has equalled his box office achievement last year. What's next?

"Vulgar novel" relay "when Harry meets Sally" continues to rush to the North American box office to exceed 100 million. In the middle of next month, will instinct, which is also written by Simon himself, be the same?

After instinct, Denise pictures released a series of production lists, including scream, rain man, death poetry club and steel Magnolia.

Although many people don't think these films sell well, Simon westero has created too many miracles.

Imagine boldly if these films continue to relay

Tut!
