Hollywood Hunter

Simon and Nancy chatted all the way and soon arrived at the Hilton Hotel near Century City in Beverly Hills.

The car stopped in front of the hotel building. Because of the signing ceremony between the Qintex Group and MGM, many reporters who were squatting outside the Hilton Hotel today found that Simon Westero's car appeared and gathered around.

The hotel waiter diligently pulled up and pulled the door, and the two bodyguards in the front row quickly got out.

Ignoring the murmurs of questions from the surrounding reporters, Simon patiently waited for Nancy, who got off the car on the other side, to turn around and come to his side before entering the hotel together.

The news of Simon’s engagement with Janet during this period of time was buoyant. The reporters found that he brought another woman to the Qintex Group’s luncheon today.

However, to the disappointment of the reporters, Nancy and Simon did not take the man's arm after sitting side by side, but kept a proper distance.The standard OL look of the woman in a black suit trousers and blond hair, also made her have no accompaniment to accompany the same man to the luncheon.

Moreover, because of the dispute between the Daenerys Entertainment Consumer Products Division and Alistar Records in recent months and the hot sale of the "Ninja Turtles" game, Nancy has frequently appeared in the media, and the surrounding reporters are not unfamiliar with her identity.

The boss took his senior executives to a business banquet, which seems to be a common thing.

However, because of Simon’s identity and Nancy’s face value, the reporters were still reluctant to try to dig or make some'blunt materials'. Therefore, it was only the short distance between Simon and the two from getting off to walking into the hotel. The question of various contents that are ambiguous, misleading, and even provocative continues to sound.

Entering the hotel lobby side by side with Simon expressionlessly, Nancy felt the faint flash of light flashing behind him. He noticed that the man beside him seemed to be completely unaffected by the problems just now. Hold your arm, will it be hilarious in the newspaper tomorrow?"

Simon glanced at Nancy unexpectedly and smiled: "You don't have to wait for tomorrow, it will be very busy immediately."

"Then..." Nancy remembered that her boss always had some small laces but had never been caught by a gossip tabloid. The voice asked curiously, "How do you usually steal?"

Simon shook his head without hesitation and said, "This can't tell you."

Nancy relentlessly asked: "Why?"

Simon didn't explain, saying: "In short, I can't tell you."

As it was said, a group of men and women had already greeted them, and Nancy recognized that the middle-aged man with forty-three and seventy-year-old black hair who was about 40 years old was really Christopher Scars of the Qintex Group, so he stopped asking.

Nancy looked at Simon who was greeted skillfully with a few people, and suddenly understood why he refused to talk about his lace experience.

Perhaps this is a kind of protection.

No woman likes men who often show off their sassy experiences, especially when they become the protagonists.

If he had just confided to himself how to secretly eat with a certain actress, even if she asked about it, she would definitely have a bad impression on him in the future, even far away.

right now……

"Chris, this is Nancy Brill, manager of our company’s consumer products department. Nancy, hello, is it still here? This is Christopher Scars,

The sound ringing in her ear interrupted Nancy's distraction, she quickly recovered her thoughts and politely greeted Christopher Scars.

A total of five people were greeted.

In addition to Christopher Scars, there is Shirley Lansing, who will soon assume the role of CEO of MGM-United.

Shirley Lansing is also well-known in Hollywood in the original space-time. She was once the head of the first big studio in Hollywood. After Viacom acquired Paramount, she took charge of Paramount Pictures for 13 years. Years old.

Now Shirley Lansing is 45 years old. After making her debut as an actor in the 1960s, Shirley Lansing quickly set foot in the production field. The "lethal temptation" of the North American box office broke 100 million last year and Judy Foster last year The success of the two consecutive productions of "The Cataclysm Pear Flower" after reaching the Oscar movie made Sherry Lansing's fame in Hollywood quickly rise.

Christopher Scars can be described as a black eye for Hollywood. Therefore, the reason why Shirley Lansing can control MGM is also the result of Simon's drawing.

Shirley Lansing has been running an independent production company for all these years and has no shortage of experience.

Although MGM is broken, it is also one of the top seven in Hollywood.Hollywood, like many industries, is full of discrimination against women. The room for career advancement for women has not been too large. As a woman, she can become one of the top seven film companies. Li Lansing is full of attraction.

Coupled with Simon's matchmaking, Shirley Lansing agreed to join soon after receiving the invitation.

After greeting everyone, we came to the banquet hall in the hotel together.

Christopher Scars is a very particular person. The Hollywood celebrities in the banquet hall hold a large number of people. The luncheon adopts a buffet mode. Everyone chooses people who are interested in each other to communicate with each other. It is more lively than a serious banquet.

Simon simply greeted some guests, picked some food, and sat down at a dining table with Christopher Scars, Shirley Lansing, etc. Nancy naturally sat next to her boss, not too Many words, just quietly listening to the conversation between Simon and Scars.

With the purchase of MGM-Lianmei Corporation for $1 billion, the size of the Qintex Group almost doubled in an instant.However, the debt of the Australian company has also increased significantly.Because investors and creditors have strengthened the supervision of the Qintex Group, Christopher Scars’ control of the company after this acquisition has been greatly weakened.

Of the five people who have just greeted Simon, apart from Christopher Scars and Shirley Lansing, the other three are all representatives of investors and creditors in Australia.

Because Simon is inextricably linked to Australian capital, these people are more interested in Simon than Christopher Scars.

Simon learned through some Australian relations that although he is the founder of Qintex Group, Christopher Scars is now in a state of possible eviction at any time due to the continuous dilution of the company’s equity and the substantial increase in debt ratio.

To control MGM indirectly, these investors and creditors of Qintex Group are the key.

The intentions of both parties are clear, and it is natural that they hit it off.

However, Simon did not immediately give MGM that 10 foreign cooperation movies, but only suggested that Shirley Lansing take over MGM and resolve the 007 series of copyright disputes as soon as possible to restart this project.

The 007 novel "Thunderbolt", published by the founder of the 007 series in 1965, involved the use of the creativity of another screenwriter Kevin McCrory, and related litigation has been entangled for decades.

Kevin McCrory thus obtained the copyright of the important villain ghost party leader Blofield in the 007 series. In 1983, McCrory also collaborated with Warner Brothers on a 007 rumored "cruising missile", the first generation of 007 Shaw Starring En Connery, the box office is pretty good.

Perhaps it’s the sweetness of the "Cruising Missile", or as some media reported that the individual has experienced a financial crisis and is on the verge of bankruptcy, Kevin McCrory once again this year to 007 copyright holders United States and the British Brooklyn family. A lawsuit was filed, requesting the filming rights of another 007 outside story project based on "Thunderbolt".

The "Cruising Missiles" of that year had already irritated the United States and the Brockley family, and naturally would not agree to Kevin McCrory to do so again.

Neither side would easily withdraw, and the lawsuit is still entangled.

Since the decline in the early 1980s, the 007 series has been a life-saving tool for MGM, and it remains the same in the memory until two or three decades later.

Resolving copyright disputes as soon as possible and restarting the 007 series, on the one hand, can maintain the normal operation of MGM, on the other hand, it can also use this very stable and profitable production series to prevent the company from falling into bankruptcy.

After talking about the business, lunch was almost the same, and everyone started to get up and socialize in the lobby.

In the chat with George Miller, who came here today, Shirley Lansing came with a couple of men and women, but it was Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner.

A series of disputes between Daenerys Entertainment and CAA was finally resolved by CAA taking the initiative to terminate the contract with Barry Levinson, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise and Meg Ryan.

Shirley Lansing did so at this time, and obviously also meant to make peace with Tim Cruise.

Tom Cruise's relationship with Paramount is very close. Shirley Lansing's "lethal temptation" at the box office in 1987 was also produced by MGM. Simon is not surprised that Lansing will be with Cruz. Sri Lankan made friends and came forward for him.

Although Shirley Lansing has made a latent statement in the course of lunch that clearly favors Simon, Simon will not easily talk about some things, which is related to too many things.So he just greeted Cruise with a few words and walked away.

Since the man appeared in the banquet hall, Nicole Kidman has been paying attention to each other.

As an Australian with a good track record in Hollywood, she was naturally invited to this banquet.However, most of the past luncheon, she did not even find an opportunity to say hello to the man.

At the same time, he understands that compared with the initial encounter, his power in Hollywood has reached an unprecedented peak state at this time. Even the big film era who created the major Hollywood film companies in one hand may not necessarily own His influence at this time.

Think of Meg Ryan's end, Nicole is still a little bit afraid.

With a "When Harry Meets Sally", Meg Ryan quickly promoted to the front line.However, since the termination of the contract with CAA, in the past six months, out of fear of Daenerys entertainment, the completely solo Meg Ryan has not only no longer been accepted by the new talent agency, and even a new film contract. Not got it.

The competition in Hollywood has always been fierce and brutal, especially for actresses. Meg Ryan's sweetheart type actress, Hollywood happens to be the most indispensable.

Now, many people see the "Rocket Expert" released on December 29, the box office performance is a life and death for Meg Ryan.

If the "Rocket Expert" box office is good enough, with the identity of the heroine of this film, Meg Ryan can also allow Hollywood filmmakers to continue to operate under the pressure of Simon Westeros.Once "Rocket Expert" loses at the box office, the actor Tom Cruise may have the possibility of turning over, but Meg Ryan is destined to be quickly eliminated by Hollywood.

Look at yourself again.

After the original "Pulp Fiction", she was not very satisfied with the arrangement of several consecutive scripts of Daenerys Entertainment. She just wanted to be able to get rid of the option contract in order to arrange her career more freely.

right now.

Apart from regret or regret in my heart.

I just hope he doesn't mind too much about the small actions he used to be.

The deeper you get involved in this circle, the more you understand how powerful he is now and the weaker you are in front of him.

"Ninja Turtles" has been filmed. She is just waiting honestly for Daenerys Entertainment to arrange the next movie for her. There should be no other thoughts.

Seeing that the man walked towards himself with a few chats with Cruise and the others, she quickly greeted her and grasped that the Kun Bao displayed in her left hand was more obvious.

"Hi, Simon."

Simon looked at Nicole, who was wearing a straight shoulder dress to reveal the delicate collarbone, and smiled: "Hi, you are so beautiful today."

"Thank you," held up the red wine glass in his hand and said, "The day after tomorrow is the premiere of "Batman," I look forward to it."

"Oh, remember to support it when it comes."

"Sure," nodded, remembering one thing, and saying, "Also, congratulations on your engagement with Miss Johnston."

"Thank you, did you find a boyfriend recently?"

"No, staying with the four turtles for a few months, there is no time."

There was still a faint expression of grievance, but in fact, she certainly didn't lack a suitor, and she was trying to get along, just in front of this man, she wisely put herself in a single state.

Simon naturally would not pursue this, and after a few words, he turned and walked away.

After sorting out the details of the conversation just now, he found that he had no emotions for himself, so he felt relieved.Although he was aloof and obviously didn't care much about herself, she didn't dare to ask too much, and it was already good to ignore the existence of this little shrimp, better than Meg Ryan.

Now that she mentioned the premiere of "Batman" the day after tomorrow, and she ended the luncheon, she immediately called her public relations manager to discuss the details of the day after tomorrow to attend the premiere. This time, she must wear a Gucci dress.

Busy, Tuesday and Tuesday passed quickly.

In a flash, it came to Wednesday, December 20.

The eyes of the whole Hollywood are focused on the premiere of "Batman" to be held in the Holy Civic Auditorium tonight.

As another heavyweight new work directed by Simon Westeros, the publicity of this overhauled movie in recent months has been overwhelming. This is not difficult to see from the venue of the premiere of the Holy Civic Auditorium. I know that the Great Citizen Auditorium used to be the venue of choice for large-scale ceremonies like Oscars.

Moreover, according to news from some internal channels, both producer Fang Da Ni Lisi Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures, which is responsible for distribution, are confident about this.

The confidentiality of the details of the content of "Batman" in the early days of the two companies was harsh, but because of the confidence in the quality of the film, after the premiere, the film will be open for media criticism tomorrow.In fact, more than a thousand people watched the scale of the premiere ceremony, and tonight, the word of mouth of the film is destined to be impossible to hide.

The red carpet ceremony of the premiere began at six o'clock in the afternoon.

However, just as the sky was getting bright today, the surrounding hall of the Sacred Citizens quickly became overcrowded. Fans gathered even more than the previous Oscars.
