Avatar reclaims title as highest-grossing film

Blockbuster ( ) movie Avatar has retaken the highest-grossing ( ) film of all time ( ) spot thanks to its re-release in China.

The sci-fi epic ( ) debuted ( ) in 2009 and held the global box office title ( ) for a decade until it was overtaken ( ) by Marvel's Avengers: Endgame in 2019.

Following its re-release in the world's biggest movie-watching market of China, worldwide total sales pushed it above the $2.8 billion mark ( ) on the weekend.

China has been the top-performing ( ) film market since pandemic lockdowns.

Director James Cameron's Avatar took in around $4 million on Friday alone which pushed it ahead of Endgame, according to distributor ( ) Walt Disney.

Disney owns both films after the company bought entertainment assets ( ) from Fox in 2019. It also owns the Titanic movie, which is third on the list of highest-grossing movies.

When Endgame passed Avatar in 2019, Mr. Cameron tweeted a picture of Avenger's Iron Man on the fictional ( ) Avatar universe of Pandora along with a congratulatory ( ) note.

He is currently working on four sequels ( ) to Avatar. The next film, which has been delayed several times, is currently scheduled for release in December 2022.

"We are proud to reach this great milestone ( ), but Jim (James Cameron) and I are most thrilled ( ) that the film is back in theatres during these unprecedented times, and we want to thank our Chinese fans for their support," said Avatar producer Jon Landau.

Chinese movie theatres have been open for several months now since pandemic-led shutdowns ( ), and local movies have also been enjoying some of their strongest box-office sales ever.

Ahead of ( ) its re-release in China, Avatar grossed around $760 million in the US and just over $2 billion internationally.

《阿凡達》重奪影史最暢銷寶座

賣座大片《阿凡達》在中國重新上映後，近日又重奪全球票房冠軍寶座。

這部科幻史詩大片於2009年首映，佔據全球票房冠軍寶座長達十年，直到2019年被漫威的《復仇者聯盟4：終局之戰》超車。

《阿凡達》在中國這個全球最大的電影市場重新上映後，上週末該片的全球票房突破了28億美元。

自從全世界都實施疫情封鎖之後，中國電影市場的表現一直是全球最佳。

發行方迪士尼公司稱，James Cameron導演的《阿凡達》光是上週五（3月12日）一天就創下400萬美元票房，超越了《復仇者聯盟4：終局之戰》。

2019年迪士尼從福斯收購娛樂資產後，這兩部電影就歸迪士尼所有了。在賣座電影排行榜上排名第三的《鐵達尼號》如今也屬於迪士尼公司。

2019年《復仇者聯盟4：終局之戰》票房超過《阿凡達》後，Cameron在推特上發了一張復仇者聯盟中鋼鐵人站在《阿凡達》裡虛構的潘朵拉星球上的圖片，並附上了賀詞。

眼下Cameron正在製作《阿凡達》的四部續集。下一部《阿凡達》電影目前計畫在2022年12月上映，此前已被推遲多次。

《阿凡達》製作人Jon Landau稱：「這個里程碑式的成就讓我們感到很驕傲，不過，吉姆（詹姆斯•柯麥隆）和我最興奮的是，在這一史無前例的時刻，這部電影又重新在影院上映。我們想感謝中國粉絲對《阿凡達》的支持。」

自從疫情迫使影院關閉後，中國電影院如今已經開放了數個月，該國本土電影甚至迎來了有史以來最火爆的票房。在中國重映前，《阿凡達》在美國收穫了約7.6億美元票房，全球票房也勉強超過20億美元。

若有一天，香港失去了《蘋果日報》，希望大家也不要失散。

Apple Daily 英文專欄：
After the media, landlords will be the next target
https://hk.appledaily.com/opinion/20210517/BIW343AKIRHSTGFFTVT4Q26I7I/

This is a game of boiling frogs. Protesters and politicians are the first group of people to be snatched. The message is that “only a small number of people” are targeted. The aim is to create a deterrence effect. I won’t go into detail here as there are only so many column inches. Meanwhile, some outspoken media outlets are being sorted out. For example, leading journalists of the mainstream outlet Cable TV (1097.HK) have resigned en masse not long ago, and Bao Choy, a producer of RTHK’s “Hong Kong Connection”, was prosecuted last month.

In the latest incident, the government has frozen Jimmy Lai’s assets, including 71.26 percent of his shares in Apple Daily’s parent company Next Digital (0282.HK), of which he is the major shareholder, as well as his holdings in three other private companies held in local banks.

After sorting out members of the opposition and media outlets that monitor the government, the focus of the game will be shifted to landlords, in similar vein as the Land Reform launched by Mao Zedong in the 1950s that saw the confiscation of landlords’ land.

Having collected in April a plot of land in Kam Sheung Road from CK Asset (1113.HK) and Henderson Land (0012.HK), citing the Land Resumption Ordinance, the government brandished its sword to Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016.HK) and New World Development (0017.HK), seizing from them plots of land in Yuen Long and Fanling this month, on grounds that it needs to build subsidized housing. So Hong Kong’s four biggest property developers have all got their fair share of being targeted, and Yuen Long rural leaders who gained notoriety in 2019 are not spared either.

Offering rewards based on merits is not an approach the current regime adopts. Following the 1967 riots, the British colonial government rewarded rural villages for showing it support during the riots by launching the Small Housing Policy (also known as the “Ding House Policy”) that took effect in December 1972. But rural leaders today will not see a replay of that. In 2019, they went to great lengths to help the authorities. Alas, some ding house landlords have recently been arrested by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and some other rural villagers have had their ancestral houses seized by the government on grounds of the Land Resumption Ordinance.

Today, the ordinance can be used to target anyone, and no one can figure out the government’s land seizure strategy. The plots collected by the government are not those that have long remained undeveloped but those with clearly laid out development plans. Apparently, what the government is doing has no logic. On the face of it, it occupies the moral high ground, when in fact it may just want to demonstrate its authority.

On the internal side of things, the Hong Kong government and its disciplinary forces are on life support as they have been deprived of their real power. Externally, politicians, the media, businessmen and the rural elite are being targeted. Who will be the next target? Taking reference from the history of certain political party, one may note that there are not only licensed thugs but also unlicensed ones who are active in the underground economy. Who will call the shot after midnight in Hong Kong tomorrow? What do you think?

In the movie “Men Suddenly in Black”, Ninth Uncle and his buddies secretly went to a nightclub, only to be busted by their wives. To help his brothers flee, Ninth Uncle sacrificed himself. In today’s Hong Kong, who is Ninth Uncle? While you guys are having fun, have you ever spared a thought for Ninth Uncle? Or will you be the next Ninth Uncle?

【芸能事務所の生き残り方】

本題に入る前に近況報告からさせてください。

昨日もお話しさせていただいたのですが、３日前に募集を開始した「西野亮廣オンライン講演会　〜マーケティング講座【上級編】〜」に期待が集まっているみたいで、昨日の段階では受講生が８５０人だったのですが、今朝見たところ、１７００名を超えていました。本当にありがとうございます。

(こちら↓)
https://silkhat.yoshimoto.co.jp/projects/2158

こちらの講演会は受講料が５３００円となっておりますが、映画『えんとつ町のプペル』のオンラインムビチケ（前売り券）が「３枚」ついてくるので、受講料は実質ほぼ無料です。クラファンの手数料ぐらい。

当然、この講演会をやっても僕には利益なんてないのですが、僕からすると、そんなものよりも、皆で作った映画が一人でも多くの方に観てもらえる方が何千倍も何万倍も嬉しいので、まったく構いません。

モノを届ける為には、何が必要なのか？
人を集める為には、何をしなければならないのか？

今回の講演会では、エンターテイメントに限らず、全てのサービスに関わってくる問題と、その解き方について、かなり踏み込んだ話をしたいと思います。「上級編」とありますが、難しい言葉や、無駄な横文字は使わないので、ご安心ください。


https://silkhat.yoshimoto.co.jp/projects/2158





というわけで、今日の本題です。



今日は「キンコン西野が芸能事務所を作るなら…」というテーマでお話しさせていただきます。



僕は表向きは吉本興業のタレントなのですが、それって表舞台に出る時で、僕の実際の仕事は９割ぐらいが株式会社NISHINOの仕事なんですね。

ただ、吉本興業とバチっているってことはなくて、吉本興業と一緒にした方がいい仕事は一緒にしますし、「ここは組まない方がいいよね」という仕事は組まずに、株式会社NISHINOでやらせてもらっています。そのへんは臨機応変に。

吉本芸人の中では珍しい「吉本愛」がある男です。

やっぱり、なんだかんだ言っても自分を育ててくれた会社なので、その恩は何倍かにして返さないと気持ちが悪い。
だからこそ、ダメな時はかなり強めに「ダメだ」と言います。
かなり強めに(笑)


吉本興業に限らず、あらゆる芸能事務所がおかれている今の状況を、めちゃくちゃフラットな立場から切り取ると……やっぱり、最大の権威であった「テレビ」を観る人が減ってきて、それぞれがYouTubeチャンネルを持ってしまって、「テレビに出たい」というタレントや、「レギュラー番組が欲しい」というタレントが減ってきた。
くわえて吉本興業の場合だと、コロナで劇場もやられてしまって……それによって「いや、劇場でネタをおろすより、ジャルジャルみたいにYouTubeでネタをおろした方が多くの人に見られるし、実入りもいいんじゃね？」というのがバレてしまって……今、全員の頭の中にある疑問は「芸能事務所って本当に必要なの？」だと思います。



インターネットの本質は「直接購入」なので、どうしても「中抜き」の立場は弱くなってしまう。

そんな中、今、各芸能事務所が生き残りをかけて、あれやこれやと手を打っているわけですが、たとえば、こと吉本興業に関していうと、やっぱりこれまで「大仏商売」だったんですよね。

明石家さんまサンがいて、ダウンタウンさんがいて、ナインティナインさんがいて…という。もちろん、その才能を生んだのは吉本興業であることは間違いないのですが、「生んだ才能に乗っかり続けた」というのも、また事実。

それでも、ネットインフラが整うまでは、それでいけたんですよね。
タレントのスケジュールを切って、ギャラ交渉をして、時々、バーターで新人を挟んで…というビジネスモデルを長らくアップデートする必要がなかった。
それはそれで本当に凄いことなんだけども。


だけど今は、ネットインフラ、もっと言うと、動画インフラやダイレクト課金インフラが整ってしまったので、もう「事務所に所属していないと世に出れない」みたいな時代じゃなくなった。

で、「これはヤバイ！」となって、今、慌てて、各芸能事務所デジタル化らしきものを進めているのですが、肌感でいうと７〜８年ぐらい遅い。
「UI、UX、何やそれ？」「オンラインサロンって、儲かりまんの？」という世界です。

本当に、何年も前に止まってしまった時計の針を今、慌てて動かしているから、ガタガタギシギシ鳴っているのが現状です。

頑張っているのは分かるのですが、そこに対する知識が圧倒的に不足しているから、流行っているものを見よう見まねで始めては見るものの、全然イケてないサービスを量産してしまう。
「そういうことじゃねえんだよ」の連続です。


一つ、吉本興業のクラウドファンディング「SILKHAT」に関しては、立ち上げから携わらせてもらった手前、今でも逐一「ここは違う、ここはこうだ」と口を挟ませてもらっているのですが、それ以外の吉本が仕掛けているサービスなんかは、ちょっとよく分からない。

救いは社外取締役で来てくださったビリギャルの坪田さんで、さすが坪田さん案件はイケてるなぁと思うのですが、ただ、坪田さんの身体は一つしかないので、さすがに吉本興業の全てのサービスをカバーすることは難しい。
吉本って、本当に大きな会社なんです。

ネットは特に適者生存の世界で、これまでリアル社会でどれだけ幅をきかせていようが、時代に合っていなかったら、１秒で駆逐されてしまうんです。

時計の針を長年止めていた人が見よう真似で参戦して生き残れる世界じゃないんですね。

今、コロナで食い扶持が減った各芸能事務所が、「新しい収入源を作れ〜」と躍起になっていると思います。

このへんの展開は手に取るように分かるのですが、まぁ、いろんな事務所さんが「オンラインサロン」を始めると思います。

始める理由は「オンラインサロンは、どうやら儲かるらしいから」です。
そして僕の見立てだと、ほぼ１００%失敗します。

「なぜ、ダイレクト課金が成立しているか？」を構造で理解していないからです。
「認知」と「人気」の違いを本質的な部分で理解できていない。

今田さんや東野さん、この前だと華大さんとか千鳥さんとかが「そういうのは、知識の無い社員が旗を振らずに、西野に頼んでやってもらったらいいんだよ」と言っていたんですが、僕本人が言うのもアレですが、本当にそうだと思うんですね。
でも、社員は絶対に聞いてこない。

僕は日本の名だたる企業さんから社員向けの講演会のオファーを受けるのですが、吉本興業から頼まれたことは一回もありません。

自分で言うとカドが立つので嫌なのですが、でも実際問題、クラウドファンディングで日本で一番支援を集めていて、オンラインサロンで日本で一番会員を集めていて、なんか国内最大の広告賞を取っている。
…そんな奴が、自分とこの会社にいて、カジュアルにアドバイスを求められる距離にいるんだったら、アドバイスを求めた方がよくないですか？

渡辺直美ちゃんにインスタの運営方法を聞いた方がよくないですか？
カジサックやオリラジの中田君にYouTubeの勉強会を開いてもらった方がよくないですか？


でも、それをしないんです。なぜか？
「プライド」です。

芸能事務所とテレビというタッグはこれまで本当に強くて、タレントはあくまで「使う存在」だったので、「教えてくださ〜い」とは言えない。

現役のバリバリ第一線でやっている人が、隣にいるんです。これ、勿体無いでしょ。

僕が吉本興業の社長なら、西野にギャラ１００万円渡して、なんばグランド花月に吉本の全社員を入れて、西野のマーケティング講座をやります。もしくは西野の書籍「革命のファンファーレ」あたりを全社員に配ります。
#どうせ西野は100万円を全額寄付します

これビッグマウスでも天狗でも何でもなくて、普通のビジネスマインドを持った人からすると、かなりフラットな意見だと思います。


で、今日の本題である「キンコン西野が芸能事務所を作るなら…」というところなのですが、やっぱり、今、一番時代を切り取れているのは、「結果を残しているプレイヤー」であることは間違いないんです。

そこに、あらゆる情報が集中しているので。やっぱり、その人が一番、知識がある。

　
その上で、僕が芸能事務所を作るのなら…………トッププレイヤーに株を持たせます。
むしろ、事務所の方から頼みこんで、事務所の株を持ってもらう。

　
株を持ってもらうのが難しいというのであれば、顧問料として業務ごとに契約して、事務所の売り上げのパーセンテージ渡します。

吉本興業でやるYouTubeならば、顧問料として、カジサックやオリラジ中田君に僅かでもパーセンテージを渡します。

そうすると、カジサックやオリラジ中田君は、吉本興業のYouTubeを盛り上げようとして、他の吉本芸人のYouTubeチャンネルの宣伝を自発的に行ってくれるので。


これから「タレントに株を渡せる事務所」と「タレントに株を渡せない事務所」の明暗は大きく分かれてくると思います。

今日のオンラインサロンの記事は、ここから、さらに踏み込んだ話をしたいと思います。

よろ！

[how to survive the entertainment office]

Let me make a status report before entering the chase.

I was able to talk to you yesterday, but I started recruiting 3 days ago, ′′ Ryo Nishino Online Lecture ~ Marketing course [Advanced Edition]~" it seems that there is a lot of expectations for yesterday's stage, and I'm going to have a good time with the students There were 850 people, but I just saw it in the morning, and it was over 1700 people. Thank you so much.

(here ↓)
https://silkhat.yoshimoto.co.jp/projects/2158

This lecture is 5300 yen for the enrollment fee, but the online bangabandhu (advance tickets) of the movie ′′ a town ′′ is coming with ′′ 3 pieces ′′ so I'm going to enroll The fee is virtually almost free. About the fees of a fan.

Of course, I don't have any profit to do this lecture, but from me, it's a thousand times more than that, it's a lot of people who have been able to watch a lot of movies that we all made. I'm so happy that I'm so happy that I'm so happy that I'm

What do you need to deliver things?
What do you have to do to collect people?

In this lecture, I would like to talk about the problem that is involved in all services, and the problem that is involved in all services, and the solving of it." it is an advanced version." but it is difficult words and useless. I don't use the side letters, so please rest assured.


https://silkhat.yoshimoto.co.jp/projects/2158





So today's chase.



Today we will talk about the theme of ′′ if xin nishino is going to make an entertainment office..."



I'm officially a talent for yoshimoto kogyo, but it's time to go on the stage, and my actual work is about 9 % of Nishino Co Ltd.

It's just that I'm not drumstick with yoshimoto kogyo, but I'm going to have a good time with yoshimoto kogyo, and I'm going to have a good time with the work that I don't have to set up here, but I'm going to do it I'm giving it to you. I'm flexing it.

This is a man who has a rare ′′ Yoshimoto Love ′′ among yoshimoto comedians.

As expected, it's a company that raised me even if I said it, so i feel bad if I don't return it to a few times.
That's why when you can't do it, it's pretty strong to say ′′ no
Pretty strong lol


It's not limited to yoshimoto kogyo, but when you cut the current situation that every entertainment office is in a flat position...... as expected, there are many people who watch ′′ TV ′′ that was the biggest authority, and each one is youtube I have a channel, and I have lost the talent of ′′ I want to be on TV ′′ and ′′ I want a regular program,"
In the case of yoshimoto kogyo in the mouth, the theater was also hit in corona...... by that, ′′ No, it's a lot of people who put down the story on Youtube like jal rather than lowering the story in the theater. I found out that it's good to have a good time?" now I think that the question in everyone's head is ′′ I really need an entertainment office?"



The essence of the internet is ′′ direct purchase so the position of ′′ inside ′′ is going to be weak.

In such a way, each entertainment office has survived, and it is hitting their hands with this, but for example, about yoshimoto kogyo, it was a ′′ Daibutsu business ′′ so far.

There is a akashiya san, and there is downtown, and there is a nine nine nine... Of course, there is no doubt that it is yoshimoto kogyo who gave birth to the talent, but it is also a fact that ′′ I have continued to be born with the talent that I have been born,"

Still, until the net infrastructure is done, it's done.
I didn't have to update my business model for a long time, when I cut my talent schedule, negotiate galaga, and sometimes, in remembrance of the newcomer...
That's really amazing though.


But now, net infrastructure, more to say, video infrastructure and direct charge infrastructure have been set up, so it's no longer an era like ′′ if you don't belong to the office, you can't get out of the world

So," this is crazy!" and now I'm in a hurry, and I'm going to have a good time with each entertainment office digital, but it's about 7 TO 8 years late with the skin feeling.
′′ UI, UX, what is that?"" the online salon is profitable?"

Really, I'm in a hurry to move the needle on the clock that has stopped years ago, so it's the current situation that I'm going to have a good time with the tagaytay snipe.

I know you're working hard, but the knowledge of there is overwhelming, so I'm going to see what's trending, and I'm going to have a good time with a lot of people who are in the middle of the day, and I'm going to have a mass production of
It's a row of ′′ it's not that kind of thing


One, as for yoshimoto kogyo's crowdfunding ′′ Silkhat ′′ in front of the launching, I still have a mouth-to-mouth ′′ it's different here, it's like this other than that I don't really understand the service that yoshimoto is planting.

Salvation is the outside director of the biryani, and I think that the case is cool, but it's just that there's only one body of Mr. Bamboo, so I'm going to go to the middle of the day, and I'm going to have a good time with yoshimoto kogyo Covering the services of the.
Yoshimoto is a really big company.

The net is especially the world of the fittest survival, and how wide it is in real society so far, but if it is not right in the era, it will be destroyer in 1 seconds.

It's not a world where people who have been stopping the needle in the clock for many years can survive and survive.

Now, I think that each entertainment office, which has lost the the in corona, is scrambling to make a new source of income ~"

I know I'm going to get this strange expansion, but I think all kinds of offices will start the ′′ Online Salon ′′

The reason to start is ′′ the online salon seems to be profitable
And when it's my likened, almost 100 % fail.

Because I don't understand the structure of ′′ why the direct charge is completed?"
I don't understand the difference between ′′ cognitive ′′ and ′′ popularity ′′ in an intrinsic part.

Imada-San and higashino-San, last time, Mr. Hua-San and chidori-San said, ′′ that's what I wish I could ask nishino to do without knowledge without throwing the flag But that's what I'm saying, but I really think it is.
But employees never listen.

I'm getting an offer for a lecture for employees from a Japanese famous company, but I've never been asked by yoshimoto kogyo.

I don't like it because I'm going to say it myself, but it's actually a problem, crowdfunding is collecting the most support in Japan, and I'm collecting the most members in Japan at the online salon, and I'm going to have the biggest advertising I'm taking it.
... isn't it better to ask for advice if that kind of guy is in this company and in the distance where he can ask for advice casual?

Isn't it better to ask Naomi Watanabe how to operate her instagram?
Isn't it better to have a youtube study session for kazi and olli nakata?


But I don't do that. Why?
It's ′′ pride

The tag called entertainment office and tv is really strong so far, and the talent was only ′′ the existence of use," so I can't say ′′ let me know,"

There are people who are doing it on the front line of the active crunching. This is not spoiled, is it?

If I am the president of yoshimoto kogyo, I will give you 100 yen to nishino, and I will put all employees of yoshimoto in nanbagurando huā yuè, and I will do a marketing course in nishino. Or handing out nishino's book ′′ Fanfare of the revolution ′′ to all employees.
#どうせ西野は100万円を全額寄付します

I think it's a pretty flat opinion from a person with a normal business mind, not a big mouse or tengu.


So, today's chase, ′′ if xin nishino is going to make a entertainment office..." but now, the most era is," the player who leaves the result ′′ Things are not wrong.

There, because all the information is focused. As expected, the person is the most knowledgeable.

　
On Top of that, if I'm going to make an entertainment office............ I'll bring stocks to the top player.
Rather, I'm going to ask you from the office, and I'm going to have a office stock.

　
If it is difficult to get stocks, sign up for each business as an adviser fee and pass the percentage of the sales of the office.

If you're on Youtube at yoshimoto kogyo, you'll give a little percentage to kazi and olli nakata as an adviser.

So, kazi and olli nakata are going to elevate yoshimoto kogyo's Youtube, and they are voluntarily going to promote the youtube channel of other yoshimoto comedians.


From now on, I think that the light of ′′ the office that can pass stocks to talent ′′ and ′′ the office that can't give stocks to talent ′′ will be divided greatly.

Today's online salon article, from here, I would like to talk about stepping in further.

Happy birthday!

Video Title: This Is The Greatest Bank Heist in Japanese History

"Tokyo. December 10th, 1968. It was pouring rain. The bank manager of the Nihon Trust bank was on edge. Someone had threatened his life and those around him over the past few months. Just four days prior, a letter (one of recent many) was sent to his personal residence demanding 300 million yen or his house would be blown up with dynamite. The letter was made up of characters cut out and pasted from movie magazines. Police were notified, and indeed they kept a close eye on the bank and his home. Though this did not ease the mind of the bank manager who shared his concerns with his branch employees. Now of course, this is Japan, and work is work - the show must go on. With this in mind, the bank manager went on with his duties sending four of his employees to the nearby Toshiba factory to make a scheduled drop. So off they went taking the company car, but not long after leaving the bank the four heard police sirens approaching. At that very moment they happened to be next to a prison of all places. A police officer screeched to a halt in front of the car, and frantically got off his motorcycle to warn them..."
