Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 371 The Old Man Killer

Simon looked at him with interest, slightly looking up at his chin, looking directly at a pair of Barbara Brockley who planned to fight for his reason. Without responding to what she had just said, she suddenly smiled and said, "Barbara, did anyone say You are actually like another person."

Barbara Brockley was stunned.

The Brooklyn family has been in control of oo7 for thirty years. In recent years, her father, Albert Blokley, has become increasingly unhealthy. He is handing over the leadership of this ace spy series to their brothers and sisters, and often tells them. They must hold oo7 firmly in their hands and do not allow anyone to get their fingers dirty.

Simon continued to intervene in the next oo7 project during this time, and insisted on replacing the current actor Timothy Dalton, which made Barbara Brockley, who also inherited her father’s strong personality, instinctively feel the threat, which There will be a question that is almost provocative.

Unexpectedly, the young man who made her like a big enemy turned the topic lightly.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Simon waited for the stunned Barbara Brockley to speak again and said: "You must have seen "Alien et", you have to say, you and the little girl in the movie, um, Drew Barrymore , Looks real. It seems that she should be a big girl now."

Steven Spielberg's "Alien et" was naturally seen by Barbara Brockley.Of course I remember the little girl in the movie.

just.

What does it mean?

"Simon, "Alien et", well, it is indeed a very good movie, but we don't seem to be discussing this now."

"I understand," Simon nodded, seeing MGM ceo Shirley Lansing hurriedly came over and waited for her to approach, and said to Lansing: "Barbara said I should not interfere in the oo7 series. Don’t intervene, do it according to your own ideas."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Shirley Lansing's face was a bit ugly.

Simon has asked the oo7 series several times during this time. She has always said that the project is going well. Unexpectedly, the Brookly brothers and sisters will suddenly pick the differences in the casting of the two parties that have not been negotiated.

Now, Simon Westero let go lightly, but Shirley Lansing didn't think the matter would end there.

Meg Ryan, who had just started to fire with "When Harry Meets Sally", wanted to terminate the contract with Daenerys Entertainment, Westero also agreed easily.

The results of it!

After seeing Simon talking, he turned and walked to the head of Columbia Pictures, John Peters, and Shirley Lansing quickly followed up, trying to explain that she didn’t care how Westero would arrange the oo7 series afterwards, but didn’t want to. So it affects yourself.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Seeing that Simon had started chatting with Peters, Lansing could only stand beside him patiently.

During the chat, Lansing noticed that Simon was very interested in Peters's young girlfriend.

John Peters is already in his forties this year, but his little girlfriend is obviously a bit green, in his early twenties.It is probably of Latino descent, and the girl's skin is not so white. Although it has a charming face that attracts men, it seems that it should not be of the type that Westeros is interested in.

However, Shirley Lansing still remembered the girl's name.

Catherine Zeta Jones.

Simon didn't expect to meet Hollywood's famous'old man killer' at the party tonight.

In memory, Catherine Zeta Jones's resume in Hollywood is brilliant.Not only strong Peters, a Hollywood gold producer, Catherine Zeta Jones also once joined Steven Spielberg, Sean Connery and other big coffee, and finally married 25 older than her Year-old Michael Douglas.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Wanting to be high in Hollywood has never been easy,

Therefore, the history of Catherine Zeta Jones, who also has no background, is also a small'legend'.

While chatting, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore also joined together.

The topic was unknowingly turned by John Peters to the film project he intended to invite Willis and his wife to participate in.

"This is a thrilling suspense film about domestic violence leading to murder, called "Fatal Thoughts", the plot is similar to "Sleeping with the Enemy", adding a murder element, about a woman assisting girlfriends to kill her idle husband Story, we hope Bruce and Demi join together and start shooting early next year. However, Demi said that the schedule may conflict with MGM's "Few Good People"."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

John Peters said, glancing at Shirley Lansing, then turned to Simon.

Simon looked at Lansing again.

The project preparation of "Few Good People" is much smoother than "oo7's Golden Eye". The three main creators of Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro and Demi Moore have all confirmed their joining, and the original script has been re-modified. It is expected Shooting will start in November, and the preliminary schedule will be early August next year.

The schedule at the end of the summer season can allow "Few Good People" to avoid the impact of "Terminator 2" and "Batman: The Dark Knight".

Demi Moore performed more on the option contract with Daenerys Entertainment than Meg Ryan would be a man, and directly accepted the $20 million salary from Daenerys Entertainment, Simon was also very Willing to give each other some convenience.

Shirley Lansing noticed that Simon looked over and nodded, "If necessary, we can try to arrange Demi's scene as early as possible." &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Demi Moore suddenly said at this time: "Simon, why don't you take the time to look at the script of "Fatal Thoughts", if you can, I think Peter and Qiang will definitely not mind making it into Daenerys Entertainment and Columbia Movies. Industry cooperation videos."

After so many years before finally coming out, Demi Moore cherishes the popularity of "The Ghost Story", but understands more that continuing to keep in touch with Westeros is only good for her.

John Peters heard Demi Moore say this, and looked forward in his eyes.

Judging from the box office of the two films "Sleeping with the Enemies" and "Hands to Shake the Cradle" that have been released this summer, if "Famous Thoughts" can join the 1o movie project of Daenerys Entertainment, even if it will be divided into half The revenue, and the results are definitely much better than the production of Columbia Pictures alone.

Simon was not interested in participating in a film that he had never heard of, but refused casually.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Everyone chatted a few more words, and John Peters quit and walked away.

However, Catherine Zeta Jones, who hadn't intervened immediately after introducing herself, clearly gave Simon a glance.

Simon noticed the girl's small movements, just smiled, and looked at Lansing who was still with him.

Knowing what Lansing was worried about, Simon said: "Sherry, I am really too busy recently, and I don’t want to worry about oo7 again. Since the Brockleys want to maintain control, let them make another one. In any case, the oo7 series has indeed not lost money. MGM has been tossed by Kerkorian for so many years, your next task is to restore the normal operation of MGM as a large studio, wait patiently for a year, I will make other arrangements."

Shirley Lansing lowered her mind and nodded seriously, saying, "Simon, I understand." &1t;i>&1t;/i>

During this time, the news that Daenerys Entertainment was about to intervene in the acquisition of mca, let Shirley Lansing understand why Simon had the opportunity but was not willing to officially intervene in MGM.

It is only in recent years that the rapid rise of Daenerys Entertainment has reached a level comparable to that of traditional big studios. Daenerys Entertainment has now become a member of the American Film Association.Therefore, once the Westeros system controls MGM in advance, and then wants to acquire mca, this is equivalent to the intention to control the three major Hollywood studios, and it will certainly encounter anti-monopoly obstacles.

On the contrary, after the merger of MCA, it is easier for all parties to accept the MGM that is relatively weak, and things will be much simpler.

When Shirley Lansing was taken away, Simon hadn't moved, and someone immediately stepped forward.

...

"Terry, it's a celebration party tonight, let's not talk about any acquisitions...In fact, no matter how, the cooperation between Daenerys and Warner Bros. will not change."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

...

"Good evening, Bob, has the late stage of "Havana" been completed... Of course it's okay, I just have time next week, you arranged to call me."

...

"You are so beautiful tonight, Julia... Yes, I know about Captain Hawke, Steven called me specifically. There is no project for you on Daenerys Entertainment, It’s no problem for you to play Tincobal."

...

"Pierce, I didn't expect you to know Joanna... "Northern Lights"? Maybe I should take the time to take a look."

...

"There's no need to worry too much, Joe, "Terminator 2" is much better than "Abyss", and I'm also staring at it personally, and will surely ensure that Cameron completes this project within 70 million dollars... well, you can Tell Barry, I actually felt that 5ooo million was not possible from the beginning."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

...

"Sorry, sir, you can deliver the script to the copyright department of Daenerys Entertainment. This is not my working time."

...

"It seems that you already know, Jane, and Holly... I think the heroine of "The Piano Love" is completely tailor-made for you... Well, Ella, you will arrange a formal meeting next week , And then call on Harvey, let everyone talk about it... Me, I will pass if I have time."

...

"I watched the film "Dangerous Ten Days" for the first time last week, and I have to say that the performance of the two of you is better than I thought... By the way, May, how is Dakota? ?"

...

"Maggie, didn't Warren come tonight...Oh, break up happily... Haha, stop, I don't want to gossip with you... Speaking of that, last time I received a $70 million box office tour, don't you think it should be Do you have a copy of me...well, let's change the subject."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

...

"Unfortunately, Kurt, the heroine of "The Flash" has basically been determined, and the "Scream 3" and "The Flash" are relatively close to each other. You are not suitable for participating in this movie... If there is a suitable project, I will definitely take the lead in your consideration... "Anti-intellectual multi-star"? Kurt, I can agree now if you want to play, but you are about to be finalized by the horror film, and will be hit again Comedy movie vase label... spend two or three years, try all kinds of characters, don’t care about the heroine, or pay too much attention to the film, the main thing is to hone acting skills and broaden the way. Two or three years later, You will probably be able to complete the transformation."

...

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Mikaela... Yes, "Beverly Wife" has not been canceled, but this season is suspended, I think Iger should have talked to you... Well, you get Weiss now Tello's personal confirmation... dinner, tomorrow night, I will not be in Los Angeles tomorrow... regrettably, not the day after tomorrow night...so that you can talk to my assistant later, my schedule is all her Arranged."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

...

Shutting in the lobby crowd, Simon continued to compliment, seduce, tout, temptation, lobbying, and recommending for more than an hour in the surroundings, before finally getting free and company leaders such as Amy Pascal.

Robert Iger was also in Los Angeles these two days. Everyone was talking about something that Iger inadvertently talked about, which soon aroused Simon's interest.

The matter is related to the metropolitan/TV station of the parent company of abc TV network. Although Iger left abc, the relevant contacts have not been broken.

The first largest sports TV station in North America, espn, which was famous for its cable stations such as net, hbo, mtv, was founded in 1979. It was originally invested by the famous Getty family in the United States. The Getty family paying the ransom.

The Getty family is long gone because of the ongoing heir war. The shares of espn were also sold during the family battle in the 1980s. 8o% of the shares were acquired by abc and another 2o% of the shares fell into Nabisco In the hands of the company, with the continued improvement of espn's prospects, this shareholding ratio has been maintained since 1984.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

During this process, abc television network was acquired by Metropolitan Media and integrated into Metropolitan/abc Group.Nabisco was acquired by Reynolds Tobacco Co., Ltd. with a huge investment of 2.5 billion US dollars, and its shares also unconsciously changed the parent company.

Now, after a catastrophic merger a year ago, Reynolds Nabsk had to repay huge debts by selling assets in large quantities.As a tobacco and food company, the espn shares held by Reynolds Nabisco naturally became “non-core assets” that need to be sold to pay off debts.

Although knowing that Simon has been trying to show to the TV industry, Robert Iger did not expect that he would be interested in this equity, explaining: "Simon, this is only espn2o% of the shares, we can not get any control over the purchase, and the quotation is also It’s very high, about 200 million US dollars, and the Metropolitan/ABC Group’s willingness."

At the peak of ESPN, the valuation reached US$500 million. At the time, there was even media comment that Michael Eisner contributed to Disney’s US$1.9 billion merger. It was precisely the 9th century that completely stabilized the status of the largest sports TV network in the United States.

Now investing US$200 million, Simon believes that ten years later, it will be more than just the dividends of this batch of holdings each year.

Although Simon has more demands for espn and the entire metropolis/abc group, but now take the 2o% share first, which is a very cost-effective investment anyway.

Instructed Iger to help him collect a more detailed espn data as soon as possible. Simon looked at the time, and after nine o'clock in the evening, he took the female assistant to leave early.Although it only takes more than an hour to fly from Los Angeles to Seattle, but now, it should be settled in the early morning hours.
