American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 514 Big Sale
"Boss, the first week box office results for Titanic are out." In the luxurious King's Building, Jesse, the head of the agency, reported to his boss Mike: "According to the summary of the returns from theaters around the world, Titanic has grossed more than 620 million US dollars to date. There may be omissions, but the total result is roughly like this."

It has been a week since the release of the Titanic movie, thanks to strong pre-promotion and the successful premiere.

Within two days, theaters from all over the country heard the news and came to negotiate with King's Agency about film introduction and screening rates.

As the trend snowballed, the movie Titanic even created a myth of grossing hundreds of millions of dollars in one day.

For this, many film critics were shocked.

Mike may not know it while he is staying in the King Building, but now he has been given the title of senior film investor because of his successful investment in the Titanic.

In other words, Mike established his transcendent position in the film industry with just one movie.

"Jesse, we are all family here, there's no need to be so formal." Mike looked at Jesse, who was dressed like a female elite, and gestured to her to sit next to him to report on her work.

On the top of the main building of Mike's King Building, there is a large glass sun pool, and next to the pool is a row of comfortable water beds.

It is now mid-June, a good time to take a shower.

Mike was lying flat in the middle of the water bed, surrounded by three girls with sexy bodies dressed coolly, and Jesse who was dressed formally. There was no one else in the room.

So, Jesse can be totally casual.

"It's working time for me now, please respect my professionalism." Jesse pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and glared at her ridiculous man, but he didn't do what she wanted.

Among all the girls who have a close relationship with Mike, Jessie is the most career-oriented.

"I understand. When you're working, you refer to your job title..." Mike said jokingly, "So, Director Jesse, do you have anything else to report?"

"There are two more things to report." Perhaps because he had been playing the role for too long, Jesse took out his notebook and said, "One is about the new movie Titanic. The agency has discussed with Director Cameron and plans to use this market-tested movie to open up the overseas market..."

"On the one hand, it can earn more box office revenue, and on the other hand, it will help to raise the international profile of the agency and director Cameron."

"But whether the film will eventually be developed overseas still needs to be decided by you as the investor."

According to the movie's box office revenue model, the first week's box office is about half of the total box office of the entire movie, and the next month is the other half of the box office revenue.

As for a month later, the movie will be almost taken off the screen.

If a movie wants to make money after it’s been taken off the screen, it can either sell CDs or go overseas.

The current box office of the Titanic movie is over 600 million, so it should be able to get a total box office of 1.2 billion to 1.3 billion in a month.

This result far broke the total box office record of all previous movies.

Therefore, King's Agency and Director Cameron felt that this historic movie still had a lot of potential to be tapped.

"Export overseas? I have no objection. Let the agency and director Cameron deal with it." Mike quickly agreed to the proposal.

Exporting movies overseas is nothing more than an extra round of promotion abroad.

If handled properly, the new Titanic movie should be able to earn another 200 to 300 million yuan at the overseas box office.

With money to be made and fame to be gained, Mike had no reason to object.

"Okay, I'll convey your message to Director Cameron and the company." Jesse took out his pen and wrote down two notes on his notebook, then continued, "The only thing left is the sales of the joint album of the Devil Body Group."

With the popularity of the new Titanic movie, the Devil Body Band’s album of the same name “My Heart Will Go On” has also been released.

Although it has been on sale for less than a week, it can be imagined that the results should be good.

When they heard Jesse talking about the new album, the three girls with devilish bodies on the water bed pricked up their ears unconsciously.

"The joint album of the Devil Body Band has sold more than 90,000 copies within four days of its release due to the popularity of the Titanic movie. At this rate, this album should reach the standard of a silver record in another week..." Jesse announced the data of the Devil Body Band's new album.

RIAA certification: An album with sales of 200,000 copies is certified as a silver record, and 500,000 copies is certified as a gold record.

Above that there are platinum records with one million copies sold and masonry records with ten million copies sold.

However, nowadays, with the development of radio, tape recorders, radio stations and the Internet, it is no longer possible for singers to compete for the honor of masonry records based solely on the performance of vinyl records. This is the current situation caused by the development of the times.

"Due to the potential of this joint album by Devil Body Group, the agency has decided to continue to expand the album's publicity. I can't say whether it will become a platinum record, but it will definitely become a gold record within half a year." Jesse gave a professional evaluation of the new album of the three girls from Devil Body Group.

The sales of new albums are different from movie box office sales, because after buying the album and listening to the new songs, the record can also be kept as a collection.

Therefore, the sales period of an album will be very long, generally around half a year to a year.

Some albums may even see a boost in the later stages once word of mouth has improved.

"Golden record!!! I am not dreaming, right? Pinch me..."

Upon hearing the expected performance of the new album, the three members of the Devil Body Group cheered.

As mentioned before, due to the shrinking record market, it is difficult for many singers today to achieve gold or platinum record sales.

As for Brick Records, I dare not even think about it.

Even superstar MJ, who once released masonry records, would probably only be able to achieve gold or platinum records if he released a new album now.

The three girls in the Devil Body Group don’t have big ambitions. They are already very happy to be on par with superstars.

"Gold record? This result doesn't seem that good." Mike said unsatisfiedly, "How about this, arrange for Regina and the others to meet with the publicity team in the next period of time. I don't care about the process, but I need their new album to at least reach the level of a platinum record within half a year."

Kings Entertainment is on the rise right now, and there is no reason not to give the devil body group a push, allowing them to have a platinum record and establish their position in the music industry.

"Okay, I'll arrange your instruction later." Jesse said, and made two more notes in his notebook.

"I've finished reporting on the work. Do you have anything else to do now?" Mike looked at Jesse, who was an elite in the workplace, and secretly winked at the three girls in the Devil's Body Group.

It’s so hot today and we’re already by the swimming pool, how can we not take a shower?

When it comes to "pranks", the three girls from the Devil Body Group have a tacit understanding and match Mike's brain waves.

So the three girls pretended to stand up and vaguely surrounded Jesse in the middle.

As for Jesse, he didn't react at all and was still thinking about work: "By the way, Mr. Randy asked me to tell you that most of the actors in the Titanic crew were willing to join the Kings Agency. The only pity is that the male lead Leonardo already has an agency. So he rejected Mr. Randy's invitation..."

Leonardo was able to get the role of the leading actor in director Cameron at such a young age, on the one hand because he is very handsome, and on the other hand because he has a strong economic company team behind him.

Moreover, the strength of that agency is no worse than that of Kings Agency.

So, from the current perspective, Leonardo has absolutely no reason to change jobs.

"I understand. If he doesn't want to come, then don't come. It's his loss. My Kings Agency doesn't need a star. Even if he is Leonardo, so what..." After Mike made a domineering speech, he looked at Jesse again and asked, "Is there anything else you want to report?"

"Not for now." Jesse, who didn't realize that he was surrounded by the three girls with devilish bodies, shook his head.

"That's good." Mike smiled and nodded to the three girls with devilish figures.

Then, with screams, Regina and Gretchen controlled Jesse's arms, while Big Wave Karen went straight for a meat bomb attack, and eventually, herself and the other three girls were knocked into the giant swimming pool together.

For a moment, the whole swimming pool was filled with waves surging in the waves.

"You bastard..." Jesse, who no longer had the temperament of a workplace elite, squatted in the swimming pool and glared at Mike, complaining: "How am I going to go back to work later?"

"Still thinking about going to work?" Mike smiled and jumped into the pool. He swam to the middle of the girls and said to Jessie alone, "I'm the boss. I approved it. You can take a day off today~"

"Also, I was very dissatisfied with your previous reaction, so now I am very angry!!!"

Then, amid the gurgling bubbles, Ms. Jessie's entire face sank into the swimming pool.
