Yang Cheng reminded Hansen to be more concerned and be vigilant about relatives and friends who appear inexplicably around him. This world is too cruel, especially when you have the money and power envied by countless people, the idea of ​​"there are always unlucky people who want to harm me" becomes increasingly heavy.

...

On the last day of January, "Fifty Degrees of Black" successfully premiered in London. Prince William and his family of four personally supported him, setting off the biggest GC on the red carpet that night.

However, then some media condemned William's behavior of bringing his children to watch the movie because of the scale of "Fifty Degrees of Black" itself. Not to mention children, even young people of 14 or 5 cannot enter the cinema to watch. As a member of a royal family, Prince William actually took the lead in doing things that violated the rules. The media that believed they had seized the handle would not let go, especially those media that specialize in reporting royal gossip. That crazy posture would mean that they would not give up until the royal family was destroyed.

As a result, William was prepared for this and posted a photo of Prince Zhang and Princess resting in the independent lounge through social media, and wrote, "The rules are unbreakable, and as a member of the royal family, you must lead by example."

OK, it looks a bit naive, but the effect is excellent. After reprinting by several celebrities, the gossip material disappeared without a trace, and it came and went quickly, which was about these annoying gossip media.

In any case, due to this accident, the popularity of the movie in the UK and even Europe has increased several times. It seems that the movie has not been affected by the source leak storm.

Moreover, after re-editing, the plot is more focused, which makes the whole movie look smoother. The action love scene that has been featured before has become the finishing touch of the auxiliary plot. It has to be said that Harvey made this move an unexpected surprise.

The United States was also released at the same time. Because this is the main market for leaking film sources, the entire company is particularly concerned about the box office performance in North America.

Fortunately, as the pioneer in the fight against Harvey, the New Era Film Industry achieved great results. The theater chain, which has suffered from being oppressed by Harvey for many years, has become a serf who has sung in the song. In return, the theater chain has taken the initiative to increase the film's screening rate in North America, opening paintings at the scale of 3,300 theaters, and hit a box office of US$50 million on the first day of its release.

It then further expanded to 3,600 cinemas, grabbing the box office of $42 million the next day, and finally won a total of $125 million in the first four days of the first week, breaking the series of records set by the first part of the series, it seems that it is not a big problem.

Not only did the North American market perform well, but it also launched a movie-watching frenzy of "Fifty Degrees of Black" overseas. As the premiere, the UK, driven by hot news, directly grabbed a box office of US$12 million in the first week, slightly higher than the German box office of 11 million, becoming the largest European box office.

Overall, "Fifty Degrees" won $194 million in its first week of release, breaking the box office record of the previous film's $188 million first weekend. Unfortunately, it is only one step away from the $200 million mark.

The box office sales were a foregone conclusion. After reading the briefing sent by Donna Langd himself, Yang Cheng felt relieved and turned her attention to other places.

However, when he saw the next briefing, he was furious and skipped Susu directly. He called Eddie's office and scolded him. Then he asked him to come to see him as fast as possible with the CEO of the New York Times and the editor-in-chief.

Yang Cheng's anger spread through the phone receiver. Eddie did not dare to neglect and hurriedly notified the two heads of the New York Times that no matter what method was used, he would use it to arrive at the office of the boss as quickly as possible, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

In fact, it goes without saying that they also guessed why Yang Cheng got angry. As early as when the briefing was completed and sent to Yang Cheng, they knew that Yang Cheng would summon him, but they just waited for a few days in a hurry, thinking that this matter could be fooled. Unexpectedly, they felt a little relaxed and less than half a day, and the death-thrusting phone number came after him.

What to do? Accept your fate! Anyway, stretching your head is like a knife, shrinking your head is also like a knife.

In less than half an hour, the three big-name figures in the hearts of countless people in the outside world gathered outside Yang Cheng’s office with their heads drooping. They first communicated with each other with their eyes, except for helplessness or helplessness. Finally, Eddie and Su Su, who were most familiar with him, mainly concerned about Yang Cheng’s current state. Has his anger been calmed down? Or is he still irritable?

Su Su's answer to this is, "The boss won't let me in, you can take care of yourself, good luck~"

Yes, it’s better not to ask. The three men who are over 100 years old together feel that their mentality is about to collapse, especially the New York Times ceo, Mark Thomson suddenly felt a piercing pain in his calves and thought to himself that it was bad, maybe it was cramps.

Cold sweat broke out on my forehead in an instant, it really hurts.

As a result, two colleagues who had no eyesight actually pushed the door and walked in. There was no way, and they followed them step by step, dragging a cramped leg.

Fortunately, Yang Cheng's eyes were focused on the computer and he didn't see his embarrassment, otherwise he would have to be driven away. Whoever wants such a poor subordinate would like to want.

The three of them walked as lightly as possible to the desk, looking at me and I looked at you, and no one dared to speak first.

In fact, Yang Cheng had noticed someone coming in long ago. He said nonsense. Three living people pushed the door and walked in and got closer. The blind man could feel that he was not blind.

But he just didn't turn his head and deliberately let them go, and first wrenched away the little bit of their inner rebuttal courage, otherwise these elites might not be honestly listening to him, a young man, scolding him.

However, he really thought too much. Jun doesn't know what the three of them were in before they came. They are ready to be scolded for the last round of the 18th generation of the family's ancestors.

Time was walking minute by minute, and the huge office could be heard, and even the sound of breathing was extremely weak.

Before I knew it, Eddie, the most familiar, realized that the situation was not good. Seeing this, the boss was not just angry. I am afraid that his wife would run away with someone else would be the same?

The three of them lowered their heads slightly, just like the elementary school students who made a mistake. They didn't dare to show off their anger, and their feet were almost numb and they didn't dare to move. If such a behavior was seen by people outside, they would definitely be scared to death.

It took a full 20 minutes before Yang Cheng finally made a move and pointed his eyes towards the computer at the three of them. It was not that he didn't want to continue, but that he was too tired to maintain the same posture. He could hardly hold on, so he turned around. If he changed to a comfortable posture, he had to fight them for another 20 minutes.

A pair of hawk eyes glanced back and forth across the three of them, and after a while, he snorted coldly, "Tell me, why do I ask you to come?"

The first reaction of the three of them was not to answer the question, but to breathe a sigh of relief. Just be able to speak. The pressure of silence was really unbearable.

Eddie looked at Dean Barquette, meaning, "You are the editor-in-chief of the New York Times, you can answer."

Baquette was not fooled. This bald head, who also has Indian ancestry, raised his glasses and looked at Mark Thomson beside him, "You are the CEO in charge, you said."

Mark Thomson's face was a little pale at this moment. He hadn't recovered from his calves just now. Now he was cheated by two shameless teammates, so he couldn't live his life.

Looking at Yang Cheng, who also looked at him, suddenly, he had the urge to find a hole in the ground to save his life.

Forget it, isn’t it just a scolding? What a big deal? Mark Thomson made the final mobilization in his heart, raising his hand to wipe off the cold sweat from his forehead, and chuckled, “Because the newspaper circulation has dropped seriously this month.”

"Well, you still know, then you give me a reason now, why is there such a serious decline? 9%, how much is the average circulation now? You lost one-tenth of it all at once. Why? Do you think the newspaper should lay off employees, right? Are you going to be the first one?"

It’s okay if Yang Cheng didn’t speak, but he was shattering and cracking as soon as he spoke. He didn’t see his lung capacity so good when he was swimming. But when he scolded someone, he didn’t even need to change his anger. The spray was so smooth.

"Boss, listen to my explanation. The decline in circulation this month is purely an accident." Mark Thomson was anxious. It would be impossible not to hurry. If you don't explain, you will lose your job. It is not easy to find a high-paying job these days!

Yang Cheng felt reasonable and leaned on the back of the chair, staring at Thomson without saying a word.

Thomson didn't bother to wipe his sweat, swallowed, moistened his dry throat, and said with a wry smile, "This month, the entire northeastern United States suffered severe snow disasters and cold waves, and newsstands closed on a large scale, and newspaper boys were banned from going out, which led to a sharp decline in circulation.

But there is no good news. Our pure digital subscription volume has increased explosively, with the current number of users exceeding 1 million. If the growth curve continues, revenue will exceed US$200 million by the end of the year."

Thomson was also a little anxious and wise. He knew that just explaining mistakes was useless, so he had to use good news to divert Yang Cheng's attention.

Sure enough, Yang Cheng's momentum retracted, his body leaned forward slightly, and he showed a curious posture, asking, "Tell me in detail."

Before acquiring the New York Times, Yang Cheng knew that in the process of digital transformation of traditional media, the New York Times' paywall construction was unique and a rare highlight on the messy media landscape.

However, because of the existence of Toutiao app, the functions of the two overlapped, so he has been considering whether to merge the two departments. However, since the New York Times just joined the group family, it is not easy to make big moves for the time being, so this matter has been pressed down.
