The Hollywood Tycoon

In the blink of an eye, it's Monday again.

It has been exactly ten days since the movie "Juno" was released.

"Boss, these are the box office data for various movies in North America last weekend." Victor handed Kyle a piece of data.

"Tsk tsk tsk~!"

Kyle looked at the box office data in his hand and couldn't help but marvel at it.

Star Trek 8: First Contact, directed by Jonathan Frakes, grossed $30.71 million on its first day of release last Friday, and a total of more than $54 million in the first three days of the weekend, winning the North American box office championship last weekend.

"Santa Claus," produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox, also premiered last Friday, earning $12.11 million on its first day and $30.5 million over the three-day weekend, ranking second.

The movie "Juno", after winning the North American box office championship the weekend before last, once again raked in $22 million in box office revenue in three days last weekend.

"After ten days of release, the cumulative box office totalled $108 million."

"It ranked third on the North American box office charts last weekend."

Kyle, who was talking to himself confidently, was very satisfied with the box office performance of "Juno". After all, it was a movie produced by his own company.

Of course, there are also regrets.

"If Warner hadn't done something weird, the box office of Juno would have exceeded 120 million US dollars." Kyle was slightly unhappy.

Films such as "The English Patient", "Space Jam", "Ransom", and "Jerry Maguire" ranked 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th respectively.

"Oh, yes."

Suddenly, Kyle seemed to have thought of something, so he said, "Victor, you should pay special attention to Disney's "101 Dalmatians" these days. It should be released in two days. I think its box office may be very popular. You should continue to promote "Juno" in a targeted manner."

101 Dalmatians?

"I understand, boss."

Although Victor was a little confused, he still firmly supported Kyle's decision.

"101 Dalmatians" is a low-budget movie. It was originally an animated film produced by Disney more than ten years ago, and now it has been remade into a live-action version.

It's a low-budget movie with a budget of tens of millions of dollars, and it's one of the many blockbusters that will be released during the Christmas season, so many Hollywood companies don't care too much about it.

But.

They didn't care, but Kyle took it very seriously.

Man, that was "101 Dalmatians", which ranked sixth on the annual box office list in 1996 and earned 33.5 million US dollars on the first day of its premiere.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Kyle attaches great importance to it.

A targeted promotion of Juno would be enough to get the movie a good box office. Otherwise, if it is ambushed, the box office would be greatly affected.

"Victor, don't be too busy today. After all, it's Christmas, dear~!"

Yes, today is Christmas.

Except for some employees who had to stay, all other employees of Page Pictures were on holiday, so Kyle did not stay for long. After saying a few words to Victor, he left.

I also went to my mother's home.

Yes, Kyle was quite happy about Christmas Eve and meeting and having dinner with his mother.

Just at this moment, the doorbell of Kyle's house rang.

"Who is it? !"

The nanny, gardener and others in the villa were on holiday because of Christmas, so Kyle had to go and open the door himself.

When the door of the villa opened, the person who came into view was none other than Kyle's old neighbour, John.

"Hey, my dear old friend, are you surprised and touched to see me?!"

As John spoke, he gave Kyle a warm hug.

Kyle pushed him away with disgust: "You damn guy, I'm not surprised at all? You're touched? Why didn't you come yesterday?"

Kyle was just being stubborn.

Some people came to see him today and were somewhat moved.

John did not answer the question directly, but pointed to a place not far to the right.

Not far away, a little girl who was less than 10 years old was slowly walking towards them, pushing a lady in a wheelchair.

"Hi, dear Lily, and Aunt Alice, Merry Christmas~!"

The visitors were John's long-paralysed mother and his lovely sister.

Kyle hugged them both gently.

Lily said in a baby voice, "Kyle, it's all my brother's fault. Yesterday, my mother and I asked him to bring us to see you earlier, but he didn't decide to drive here until the afternoon. Who knew that the road was blocked by heavy snow..."

Little Lily's words made Kyle feel warm in his heart.

Humans are social animals after all!

Aunt Alice also smiled and said, "Kyle, this is the sweater I knitted for you. Do you like it?"

"Thank you! This is the best Christmas gift I have received this year." Kyle gently hugged Aunt Alice

again.

Just then Kate's voice came from the kitchen, " Who is it, Kyle?"

"It's John, Lily and Aunt Alice, Mom," Kyle replied

Just then my mother came from the kitchen and gave a light hug to Lily and Aunt.

"John, why don't you bring Lily and Alice more often?" My mother complained to John

"I will bring them more often, Aunty!" John replied with a smile

The following time is warm and cosy.

...

...

A few days after Christmas.

Page Pictures has officially resumed work.

"Boss, you are so foresighted."

CEO Victor looked at Kyle and immediately started to praise him loudly.

He couldn't help but praise him, Kyle's vision was sharp.

"101 Dalmatians" is a movie with a budget of tens of millions. Who would have thought that during the Christmas period, amidst the siege of various blockbusters, it would burst out with unparalleled box office potential? In just three days after its release, it earned a box office of 70 million US dollars.

It can be said that many people were shocked!

"Boss, if we hadn't carried out timely and targeted publicity and promotion work, our movie box office would have experienced an avalanche-like decline in the past few days!" Victor explained.

4.2 million, 4.01 million, 3.89 million...

The box office of "Juno" in the past few days may not seem high, but in the Christmas season when there are many blockbusters, and under the pressure of "101 Dalmatians" which ranked 6th in the annual box office rankings in 1997, it is not easy to achieve such a box office.

As for other movies from major companies, they are quite miserable!

Who made them not take "101 Dalmatians" seriously?

Especially "Space Jam" starring the old rogue Jordan, the box office data has suffered an avalanche-like decline in the past few days. In total, it has collected less than one million US dollars at the box office in three days.

The old rogue has fainted from crying~!

At the same time.

In a cafe near Universal Studios.

A person in charge of a headhunting company commissioned by Kyle was communicating with a lady in front of him who was about 35 years old.

"You said that you are here on behalf of Mr. Page, the owner of UPN Television Network, to hire me as the new CEO of UPN Television Network?" the middle-aged lady asked.

At this moment, the middle-aged lady was very confused.

Someone came to dig her out?

You know, although she is very confident and has the confidence to make a name for herself in Hollywood, she is currently just an ordinary producer at Universal Pictures.

Being the CEO of any television network, no matter how small, is not comparable to her current position.

"Yes, I came here on behalf of Mr. Page. Don't worry, Mr. Page will bear all the penalties for breach of contract between you and Universal Pictures, and you won't have any worries."

"Moreover, Mr. Page also promised that as long as your work makes progress and helps UPN rise, he will give you corresponding options as a reward!"

The head of the headhunting company said solemnly.

The salary and benefits are in place, there are also option rewards, and most importantly, there is a platform for her to perform. How could she refuse?

In the end, the middle-aged lady accepted the invitation and decided to serve as the new CEO of UPN.

Her name is: Donna Langley.

In the 1990s in Hollywood, perhaps not many people knew her, but after 2013, everyone in Hollywood knows her!

You should know that after 2013, she became the president of Universal Pictures, one of the six major Hollywood studios.

Many well-known films such as "Fast and Furious 7", "Jurassic World", "Minions", "Fifty Shades of Grey", "The Secret Life of Pets", and "The Huntsman" were produced and released under her guidance. In one fell swoop, Universal Pictures, which had been in decline in Hollywood for several years, regained its vitality.

If Kyle doesn't dig her out now, when will he?!
