Chapter 880: Nothing to say

On June 16th, just entering the working day, there was news about the abnormality of the Southeast Asian foreign exchange market in the Wall Street Journal. √
The major foreign exchange centers in Asia, Tokyo, Hong Kong Island and Singapore, the exchange rates of Thai baht and Indonesian rupiah began to show significant fluctuations. A sense of urgency.
In recent months, due to the international foreign exchange speculators secretly absorbing the currencies of Southeast Asian countries to open positions, the currencies of Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries have experienced a brief sharp rise. The highest point of the Thai baht exchanged against the US dollar even reached 22:1, and the appreciation rate was close to 12%.
After experiencing the last two days of power, on Wednesday, the international foreign exchange speculators led by Soros led the Quantum Fund and the Tiger Fund suddenly broke open to the Southeast Asian monetary system. From the opening of the major foreign exchange exchanges on the day, a large number of Thai baht Appeared on the platforms of major exchanges, the sudden attacks made the Thai capital completely unprepared, and even failed to organize an effective counterattack in the first place.
Subsequently, for three consecutive days of continuous baht selling, it was easy to return the short-term appreciation of the Thai baht back to the prototype, and even fell out of the average exchange rate of the Thai baht against the US dollar in recent years. As of Friday's close, the Thai baht against the US dollar has plummeted to 26.3. :1, the depreciation of the three-day time reached an astonishing 19.5%.
In 1997, Thailand’s total currency volume was approximately 920 million baht, which was calculated based on the average exchange rate of 25:1 in recent years, equivalent to $37 billion. But in just three days, when the exchange rate fell to 26.3:1, the total value of the Thai currency has fallen to 35 billion, and the wealth of 2 billion US dollars has disappeared. And many people know that all this is just the beginning.
At a time when the Southeast Asian currency market is full of smoke, the competition in the box office of the North American summer file is equally fierce.
After three days of weekends, the $72,500,000 box office was entered, and the working day was entered. The box office momentum of "Nemo" was unabated, and the box office continued to be harvested from 6oo to 70 million dollars per day.
In the end, the weekly box office of "Nemo" has reached 97.45 million US dollars. Not only the new film "Time and Space Contact" released in the same period is more than 66oo, which is almost the sum of the box office of the first two weeks of "Lion King 2".
Affected by "The Undersea Story", the second-ranked "Time and Space Contact" week box office was only $31.29 million.
"Lion King 2" eventually fell to 36%, the third week only harvested 270,000 US dollars, the cumulative box office of 125 million US dollars, ranked third.
The most frustrating box office this week is undoubtedly the fourth "Godzilla". Due to the one-sided bad review and the strong impact of "Nemo", "Godzilla" fell nearly 68% in the second week, only at the box office. There was a poor $570,000, and a two-week box office total of $970,000, or even less than the weekly box office of Finding Nemo.
"Godzilla"'s bleak box office performance not only made Sony's global box office ambitions of $100 million into jokes, but even the media were too lazy to comment on this destined rotten film.
Firefly Film's "Air Prison" is ranked fifth, but due to the "Godzilla" and "Time and Space Contact" two live-action films are not satisfactory, the third week of "Air Prison" fell still good. On 34%, it received another 15.28 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office climbed steadily to US$72.65 million. Although the film's North American box office can still break through the billions, it is still unpredictable, but compared with the "Five Elements", "Godzilla", "Time and Space Contact" several films, "Air Prison" performance is still quite good. What's more, the cost of "Air Prison" of $75 million is the lowest among several real people, and there is not much pressure on the return.
With the box office data released the previous week, on June 2nd, Friday, "Batman and Robin", which has been closely watched by Warner, was finally released in 29oo theaters in North America. The quality of the film did not have any 'lifescaping'. Many media and film critics have speculated that a bad word has even been difficult to describe.
A commentary in The Wall Street Journal probably shows some of the voices of the majority of film critics: "In the whole movie, the images of the protagonists such as George Clooney, Uma Thurman, Arnold Schwarzenegger are undoubtedly Very close to the comic character, but for the storyline, movie lines, role acting and others, I really can't give any thoughts."
As a hero who has been selling for decades in North America, Batman has the largest group of fans in North America. But in the case of frequent changes to the main series, and the quality of the film has fallen all the way, the patience of Batman fans seems to have finally been exhausted. Although the film still won the single-day box office at the box office of 16.11 million US dollars, but the second day of the release, "Batman and Robin" was kicked by "Nemo" to the single-day box office.
Even Batman and Robin created a record for the first box office drop in the summer. According to the usual box office rules, most of the films are released in the week, and the box office on Saturday will be higher than Friday. Even if it is a "Godzilla" that suffered a lot of bad reviews two weeks ago, the box office on Saturday is higher than the box office on Friday. 2oo million dollars. But after "Batman and Robin" was at the box office of $16.11 million, the box office fell to $15,000 in the second day.
After the $140,000 box office, which was briefly suppressed by Batman and Robin on Friday, the second day of the box office jumped to a high of $175 million. The industry expects that the "Nemo" will be the next week. Still staying above $6 million, the box office performance is even better than the box office of many big production films.
In comparison, the weekly box office of Batman and Robin is expected to be only $55 million. In terms of the production cost of this man-made movie of $150 million, the current box office appeal of the Batman series is not even as good as Godzilla. Warner Week has to recover at least 8ooo dollars, which is possible with box office. Break-even, but now it seems that this hope is already very embarrassing.
The failure of "Batman and Robin" has caused many people to completely lose confidence in the summer file, and MGM's "Oro Royal Casino" will be released next week. Some entertainment media have even taken it. The tone of gloating is waiting for Eric to direct the appearance of the first box office in Waterloo.
Eric is innocent about these remarks in the media. The economic crisis in Southeast Asia has officially exploded. It is not only the entertainment business of the Firefly Group that involves Southeast Asia. The entire firefly system, Nokia, Qualcomm and Ltd. are all located in Southeast Asia. A large number of businesses, Nokia and the company's main product factories are also located in Thailand, the Philippines and other countries, Yahoo, Cisco and other companies have invested heavily in the development of Southeast Asia in recent years, once the currencies of Southeast Asian countries completely collapse, these companies are local Business will be strongly impacted.
Eric has always liked to be the treasurer of the hand. He also has Chris to help him manage some of the things he should have. But this time, Chris went to Tokyo to sit down in person, and many things fell on Eric's head. After all, with a lot of memories of the economic crisis in Southeast Asia in the past, Eric is also willing to intervene at this time, using his previous memories to make a more reasonable layout of the business of several companies.
I spent a whole week in various documents and conference calls. Until Saturday afternoon, Eric returned to Los Angeles from San Diego Qualcomm headquarters, and it was a short-lived leisure time, once again turning his mind to Hollywood.
Chris Jenner’s mood for more than half a month has only been described as ups and downs.
At the beginning of the month, the daughter who ran to Los Angeles for the summer vacation suddenly called her home in New York, claiming that she had an opportunity from Eric Williams to allow her to produce a reality show. Chris Jenna’s first reaction was naturally that her daughter was joking with her and linking their family to a big man like Eric Williams. Isn’t that a joke?
After the daughter repeatedly told me about the details of the day, and then reported the phone number left by Eric, Krist Jenna sent the number to the suspect, despite the assistant from Eric Williams. The office was immediately confirmed, and Chris Jenner was still stunned for more than half an hour, even ecstatic.
Chris Jenner has always been a woman who has longed for Hollywood Vanity Fair. She married Robert Kardashian and also valued her own record company. She has a wide range of TV, music and sports celebrities. People, when Robert Kardashian sold the record company and turned to an irrelevant juice business, Chris Jenner quickly parted ways with each other. After a divorce, he quickly became a TV sports celebrity Bruce. Jenna got married.
However, although Bruce Jenner was considered a sports star in the 1970s, his influence has long been worse than before. After retiring, he can only attend some TV shows occasionally or serve as a commentator on the sports channel. With the entertainment industry and Hollywood, it can only be barely touched.
As a loyal audience of lietime TV, the chance of a real-life producer who suddenly came, let Chris Jenna realize that if she can seize it, it will definitely let her step into the sky. Let’s take a look at "The Bridge of the Sky" and " The two producers and hosts of the National Model Competition will know.
There was no time to think about the other. On the day of the confirmation of the news, Chris Jenna blew her husband and a bunch of children to Los Angeles. She lived in the house of her ex-husband Robert Kardashian and asked her daughter again. In the ins and outs, Chris Jenna bought a lot of reality TV videos and related books, and began to write reality TV programs with reference to her thoughts. As for her daughter, she can talk to Eric Williams. The information that her husband Bruce Jenna participated in was automatically ignored by her.
A week later, Chris Jenna personally rushed to the Burbank Firefly Group headquarters and handed the completed plan to an Eric assistant. The next long and tormented wait. In order to avoid the resentment of Eric's assistant, Chris Jenna only dared to call for information in three days.
The daughter who was also looking forward to entering the Drew Barrymore's girlfriends circle could help to hear some news, but then she was, because her daughter's companion, the girl at the Hilton family was kicked out of the circle because of the offense. . As for the husband and ex-husband, when asked, it is only two men who are barely considered to be Los Angeles celebrities. They are so far away from the core circle of Hollywood that they are not exposed to any useful people. Although the Pointe Manor is located in a prominent position in Malibu, Chris Jenna has no courage to take the initiative. (To be continued.) 8
