Hollywood Hunter

Jennifer listened to Simon's emotions and said: "According to the recent negotiations between Dad and Nokia, we only need about 200 million US dollars to take over Nokia's mobile communications equipment department. Counting the subsequent operating expenses, the total expenditure within one year will not be More than 250 million, because there are no other large-scale investment projects overseas, we can only withdraw funds to the country."

Simon had planned to acquire most of Nokia's equity through capital injection, but because of the turmoil in Eastern Europe's political situation and Nokia's eagerness to streamline its business, the other party actively asked Westeros to take Nokia's mobile communications equipment department in full.

Although the current Nokia mobile communication equipment department is still unable to compare with Motorola, Simon found a large number of gsm-related second-generation digital communication technology patents in the process of checking its asset list. This company's other technologies in mobile communication The accumulation is also deep enough.

Therefore, since it was the other party's initiative and Simon had a lot of money in his hands, he would naturally not oppose the plan to take over.

In addition to Nokia, Simon has not found other large investment projects that satisfy Westeros' appetite for the time being.

In comparison, withdrawing funds to the United States, because Simon’s prophetic advantage is not just mca, investing in many other goals now is enough to bring him a tenfold return in the future, billions of dollars of funds, the US domestic market also completely eats Go on.

However, the capital gains tax of up to 28% is really painful.

According to the current size of Cersei Capital, all funds vested in Simon after settlement are transferred back to the country, but the tax to be paid is more than 1 billion US dollars.

Simon even had the idea of ​​changing nationality. However, this idea is just to think about it. Although compared to other Western countries, the US tax system is complicated, but it is actually not high.What's more, if Simon changes his nationality, his business expansion in the United States will definitely be subject to various strict restrictions.

Jennifer waited for Simon to think for a moment, and then said again: "There is one more thing. There is news from Los Angeles. Australia's qintex group and MGM have issued a statement at two o'clock in the afternoon. The two sides have finalized roughly Qintex Group Chairman Christopher Scars said that as long as funds are in place, both parties can complete the transaction."

The female assistant said, pulling a page of information from the folder and handing it over.

Simon was a little surprised.

In memory, qintex Group did not successfully acquire MGM, what is happening now?

After reading the statement file passed by Jennifer, it turns out that qintex Group recently successfully sold a resort in Brisbane for $430 million, and qintex Group issued a $500 million company for the purpose of acquiring MGM. Bonds have also received support from many Australian investment institutions.

Putting down that statement, Simon said: "qintex is obviously insolvent. There are so many people who are so stupid to join in the fun."

Jennifer looked at Simon’s profile and said: “After the release of the Forbes Rich List last month, Hollywood’s attractiveness to capital has increased significantly. Orion recently also discussed financing issues with a Canadian company if it received money. , This company may be able to survive the crisis."

Simon tapped on the file on his knee and said, "Can't let Orion survive the crisis, I'm still waiting to buy this company's library."

In the beginning, Nancy Brill's proposal to Simon, he had always kept in mind.Orion does own a lot of very high-quality movie copyrights.

Jennifer smiled and said: "You didn't give Orion a quota for the 10 projects this time, is it because of this?"

Simon nodded: "Yeah, and Orion's arrears of "Pulp Fiction". The situation of this company is getting worse. If you work with them again, you will definitely be in arrears, and you won't even receive funds."

Daenerys Entertainment has confirmed 5 of the 10 foreign cooperative film projects,

Fox is because of the Murdoch family, Disney and Warner brothers are because the two sides have been very happy to cooperate, Colombia is because of the matter of Matthew Broderick. As for Universal, the "Dangerous Ten Days" with the other side to In the end, it is likely to be his own.

The rest of Paramount, MGM, and the second-tier Orion will not intend to cooperate with Simon unless necessary.

Perhaps, after qintex completed the acquisition of MGM, the company will also lift the ban.

It's still an Australian company.

Speaking of which, compared to Orion, MGM's film library is actually more abundant, this company is very powerful in the Hollywood Golden Age.

Simon also deliberately explored the capital game that Ted Turner and Kirk Kokrian played a few years ago. Turner Broadcasting only left the TV broadcast of MGM's movie library before 1986. Rights, and not yet a permanent authorization, will expire in 2003.

Therefore, despite its ruin, MGM is still the largest film company in the Hollywood film library.

According to the information previously provided by Janet, Simon determined that even if qintex can buy MGM this time, this company will not be able to support it for too long.

If MGM can be taken over at that time, the plan to acquire Universal will be implemented smoothly. Daenerys Entertainment will surely become the media company with the richest content resources in Hollywood, and at the same time be able to maximize the business of Blockbuster retail chain channels. potential.

Gulfstream iv landed at Santa Monica Airport more than forty minutes later.

The time is only six o'clock in the afternoon.

Simon sent the female assistant back to rest and went to Daenerys Entertainment headquarters again.

Amy hadn't gotten off work, and the two discussed some company matters.

"Scream 2" will be released this Friday.

On October 13th, the fantasy change comedy "Angel God Mission" starring Daryl Hannah officially entered the North American theater, and the screen size was 1638 blocks, because the audience In the junk bond market, Simon did not pay much attention to this movie.

From October 13 to the first week of October 19, "Angel God Poor" received $7.16 million. According to the decline curve of the next weekend, the total box office of the film in North America is about 20 million US dollars.Compared with the production cost of 15 million US dollars, it is not a success, but it is not a failure. It is enough to recover the cost easily through the post-operation.

Compared to "Angel God Poor", "Scream 2" and other movies at the end of the year, "Batman" is naturally the top priority.

"Batman" has a distribution budget of up to 25 million US dollars. Although Warner Bros. Pictures is responsible for distribution, Daenerys Entertainment's distribution team is also involved. The two companies are working at the same time, which shows the importance of this movie. .The official release date of "Batman" is December 22, and the first 15-second trailer has been logged in major North American TV stations at the beginning of this month. Starting next month, the film will also be released for 30 seconds and 1 minute and 30 seconds. Several other trailers of the duration, such as Adam Baldwin and Valerie Gallino, have recently invested in the promotion of the film.

Although he paid close attention to the details of "Batman", Simon did not intend to participate in the film's promotional activities too much, and only planned to show his face on some TV talk shows when the film was about to be released in December.

Simultaneously busy with the rotation, Simon has felt an obvious powerlessness, so he is very eager to pause and carefully plan the future of his personal business layout.

In the following days, Simon was still busy with the announcement of various films at the end of the company and the preparation of a series of projects. The Stanford University's campus network upgrade project based on Igret's'www' technology was also quickly received after Westeros donated funds. After the launch, the public relations department will naturally not forget to make appropriate media publicity for this donation.

So until October 26, Simon is hosting the role audition of "The Hand Shaking the Cradle". Jennifer suddenly sent a handwritten message from Janet from Melbourne. The content is very simple and follows the hedge of Cersei Capital. Capital began to flee.

Many people are monitoring the operation of Cersei Capital. Similarly, Cersei Capital is also closely monitoring the dynamics of its peers.

Now that someone had begun to react, Simon let the matter go completely, whispered to the female assistant to destroy the letter, and his attention turned to the audition in front of him again.

Because it is the audition of the leading actress in "Shake the Cradle", the casting range is not large, but only less than ten candidates are circled based on the recommendation of major talent agencies. Simon also tends to the original version in front of him. Rebecca Demoni continued to star in the female one, so she directly named the other party to come and try it today.

Rebecca Demoni is one of the famous sexy actresses in the 1980s. She once appeared in Tom Cruise's famous film "Guide to School". The two also reported the engagement on the eve of the film's release.Of course, everyone in the circle probably knows what is going on. The so-called engagement will naturally disappear afterwards.

At the front-end party, Simon also met Rebecca De Mone, and the woman left him an interesting business card.

Rebecca Demoni is an artist under Caa. Time will push forward a little bit. Simon will definitely not activate the other party.With the termination of Michael Ovits and Barry Levinson and others, Daenerys Entertainment also released the ban on CAA, and this matter is naturally no longer an obstacle.

After discussing the role performance clips for more than half an hour, Simon temporarily let Rebecca Demoni leave the audition room later.

Jeffrey Kasenberg, who is in charge of Disney's production business, and other Rebecca Demoni walked out of the room and couldn't help but say: "Simon, is Demoni too beautiful, and the acting is still a bit worse. "

Simon looked at the audition record in front of him and said: "Jeffrey, a Hollywood actress in her thirties, has enough fame and a suitable image. The choice is not too big. Demoni starred in Coppola. "Sweetheart" and Cruise's "Guide to School" are famous enough. As for acting, I want to choose Oscar-level actresses, but they are not suitable for Holly Hunter, but Jessica Lange is quite suitable. It’s a pity that you can’t be 10 years younger to play a bad woman.
