Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 373 The Hearst Family

Any branch of the dc movie universe, even if it only reaches Batman: half the box office level at the beginning of the war, is enough to support the performance of a large studio.Therefore, senior executives of the two companies Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner Group will personally come forward to finalize the role of the project.

Similarly, because these roles represent a one-step opportunity for many actors, the entire Hollywood, whether it is those eager actors or the agency where the actors are located, are closely watching any news from Daenerys Studios. A related message.

When the finalized news of the Flash hero and heroine came out, the parties' joy and not to mention, countless lights in and out of Hollywood were instantly focused on Jason Jedrick and Robin White, two young men, only 24 or 5 years old, In just a few hours, it became the focus of Hollywood's attention.

Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner Group allow actors who signed the dc film universe long contract to appear in other film projects. Although there are very strict restrictions, when the dc film universe team has not officially contacted the parties to sign the contract, many systems The studios have already sent a series of invitations to the agency of the two actors.

In the morning, the candidates for the heroes and heroes of the Flash were determined, and until the afternoon, the core supporting roles of the project were also finalized.Although they cannot be compared with the heroes and heroines, these people also receive a lot of attention.

Speaking of which, the casting process of the DC movie universe is very different from the Hollywood tradition.

Most of the traditional Hollywood projects are constantly in contact with the actors to negotiate and slowly piece together the entire project team.In the dc film universe project, the producer has completely mastered the initiative, in the final analysis, or because the dc film universe series does not pursue first-line stars.

Under normal circumstances, after the casting begins, actors who want to perform certain roles must sign an intent agreement as long as they pass the initial selection. The terms include acceptance of the long-term contract of dc movie universe, salary rules, image authorization, etc., if If you don’t accept it, you don’t need to waste time on both sides.

This casting process also means that once an actor is selected, the two parties can quickly sign a formal contract, and there is no need to crap in details.If an actor temporarily changes his mind after he is selected and wants to sit on the floor, he will not only be abandoned immediately, but will also face huge claims.

Confirm the main cast of the Flash, and then sign the contract and arrange the actors to perform physical fitness, performance training and other matters.

To send away Terry Semel and others, Simon had just arrived at his office in the district, and the female assistant came in and told him that James Rebold had called before and said there were important things.

Simon didn't turn to the leather chair behind his desk, and sat down directly on the opposite edge of the table, picked up the microphone to signal the female assistant to dial.

Jennifer skillfully dialed a series of numbers, and just after dialing, she took one hand from the side.

After earning a few blows, I saw Simon start talking to his father, and I had to give up the struggle, but the hand let go of her again.

Simon smiled at the female assistant's ears and pretended to help his desk, chatting with them, but his expression gradually gathered away.

The thing is about the 2o% stake in espn mentioned by Robert Egger at the party on Saturday.

Robert Iger arrived in Los Angeles and quickly compiled a rough document for Simon.

Espn was established 11 years ago, and now has 570,000 subscribers, annual revenue of more than 500 million US dollars, last year's net profit of 510 million US dollars.

Simon was initially curious about why Metropolis/abc Group did not buy these 2o% shares by themselves. Because of the veto power of the major shareholders, Metropolis/abc Group wanted to buy these 2o% shares with a greater advantage than any other buyer.Because of who will become a millionaire’s success, the Met/abc Group’s financial situation in recent years has also been relatively good.

The data collected by Robert Egger gives reasons.

The conservative chairman of the Met/abc group, Tom Murphy, and major shareholder Warren Buffett are unwilling to pay too high a price for this batch of shares,

In addition, espn just recently signed a four-year US$400 million huge tournament broadcast agreement with Major League Baseball, and espn's annual revenue is only US$500 million, because of this agreement, the content cost of US$100 million abruptly increases every year. , Also let espn take a very big risk.If this very risky huge agreement eventually fails, espn, which was originally showing momentum, is likely to turn to decline.

Since the Met/abc group was unwilling to buy the shares, Simon thought he would make a solid shot, so he directly gave the matter to James to deal with.

Unexpectedly, this incident suddenly happened again.

James told Simon on the phone that the acquisition of the shares was going well. He and Tom Murphy, chairman of the Metropolitan/ABC Group, passed. The other party was happy that Westeros could buy the shares. Contact with Reynolds Nabesk, the other party's feedback is also very positive.

However, just this morning, Tom Murphy suddenly called him again, saying that Metropolis/, the reason given is that other Metropolis/abc group partners are interested in this batch of shares.

After James asked, Murphy revealed that it was the Hester family who wanted to buy the 2o% stake in espn.

The Hirst family is a level media family deeply rooted in the United States like the Newhouse family.

Although this year's Forbes US 4oo rich list does not have the names of members of the Hurst family, only the Newhouse brothers occupy two of them.But in fact, the wealth of the Hearst family is comparable to that of the Newhouse family, only because the first founder of the Hearst family, William Hearst, has a total of six children, which caused the family equity to be dispersed.

The Hirst family has been in prosperity for more than 100 years. At that time, William Hirst directly instigated a US-Spanish war against Spain with the Hirst Group's media network all over the country. Although it is still widely criticized to this day, he The influence of the Stewart family on American news public opinion is evident from this.

The Hirst family has gradually begun to be in charge of the third generation. However, this media family has still deeply influenced the US public opinion by relying on hundreds of newspapers, weekly magazines, magazines and other media platforms in major cities in North America. The San Francisco Chronicle, with its huge influence on the West Coast, is the property of the Hirst Group.

Although Simon's personal wealth is several times that of the Hearst family, James feels that it is better not to provoke such a media family entrenched in the United States enough to incite a war.

James originally wanted to find out more specific details and talk to Simon about this matter. This afternoon, the third generation heir of the Hearst family, William Hearst III, contacted here again, but he invited Simon to hope that he Tonight I will be able to attend a party of the Hearst family.

As for the purpose, it is obviously self-explanatory.

I talked to James on the phone for more than 20 minutes, put down the microphone, the female assistant had just left, and Simon continued to lean on the desk to consider this matter.

In those days in New York at the beginning of the month, Janet said to Simon, if you can, the media families such as Newhouse and Hirst in the United States should best be able to make good contacts with them. If these media families manipulate American public opinion, if they can Establishing connections will definitely help the development of the Westeros system.

It's just that Simon, a wealthy newcomer who has just risen, wants to break into those old family circles, but it's not that easy.Moreover, Simon has his own pride, and if others are not welcome, he will not find any way to join those circles.

There is now an unexpected opportunity.

Hirst, Newhouse, or Graham, who controls the Washington Post Group, may still control American public opinion, but Simon knows that with the advent of the Internet era, these old media families will With the gradual decline, many well-known newspapers and magazines, such as the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Time Magazine, etc., which have been completely unattainable for centuries, will be sold to a series of newcomers at the price of clearance for more than 20 years. The rich, just for the newspaper to continue.

Simon carefully traced the memory in his mind, and soon a message appeared.

After the decline of the US media industry, the Hester family's 2o% stake in the espn television network accounted for almost 5o% of the entire Hearst Group's annual profits.

After the completion of the mca acquisition, as long as the timing is right, Simon's next goal is to own the TV metropolis/abc group.

Now the 2o% share of the espn TV station is given to the Hearst family. In a few years, with the rise of espn and the decline of paper media, the Hearst family that depends heavily on the 2o% share of espn is likely to become the entire A vassal of the Westeros system.

Jennifer knocked on the door again and came in, holding a few documents in his hand, noticing the smile on Simon's mouth and asking, "What did Dad tell you?"

Simon probably talked about the content of the phone just now. Of course, he hasn't disclosed anything that hasn't happened yet.

After listening, the female assistant frowned slightly: "Since this, we still don't want this equity. It will be very troublesome to have a conflict with the Hearst family."

Simon nodded and said: "However, the Hirst family can't just let me quit the competition with just one party, always give some exchange chips."

The female assistant thought about it ideally and said, "The San Francisco Chronicle happens to belong to the Hearst family. This time, maybe I can exchange a content cooperation agreement between the Igret Portal and the San Francisco Chronicle.

Igrid Portal has previously established a cooperative relationship with the Murdoch family News Group, however, Murdoch is only willing to provide Igreat portal with media consultations in Europe and Australia.

In North America, on the one hand, News Corporation’s media strength is not so strong, on the other hand, it may also be the instinctive defense of Murdoch’s old fox. The Igrid portal has not been able to obtain content from media platforms such as News Corporation’s New York Post. stand by.The current North American news from the Igret portal mainly comes from the cooperation of a small local newspaper in San Francisco, and the content quality is hard to satisfy.

If the news content can be obtained from the San Francisco Chronicle, which is headquartered in San Francisco, it would be better.

"It's a good idea," Simon nodded, reaching for the female assistant in front of him and laughing. "But now, let's think about where to spend the night tonight."

The female assistant was held in Simon’s arms, and her face was posted on Simon’s prickly chin. She said: "Jenny has been very dissatisfied on her recent phone call, saying she is going to bring a bottle of red wine mixed with chilli water. ."

Simon smiled: "You just don't drink it."

The female assistant lowered her head in a serious way, but added a little black belly: "She said she would give you a drink."

Janet went to Europe last week, successfully obtained Latour Winery for 200 million US dollars, and then participated in this year's fashion week in Milan, planning to return to North America tomorrow, the Boeing 767 has flew to Europe today Pick up.

In the evening, we can only take the Falcon business jet under Daenerys Entertainment and Jennifer to spend the night in San Francisco. Simon sent the female assistant to Los Angeles the next morning, and continued to fly the Falcon to the East Coast.

Time has been scheduled.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon on the East Coast time, Simon arrived in New York and waited less than half an hour directly at JFK Airport. The Boeing 767 with Janet and his party also landed on the runway.

This time, not only Janet came, Sofia Fessi will also come, but also brought family members, including the parents of a senior woman and a pair of children.

In the previous phone call, Sofia said that she hoped that the two children would go to school in the United States in the future, and would leave their parents to accompany them.

Simon hasn’t seen Sofia’s children yet, but he knows that the woman had been arranging a child in a private school in Geneva, Switzerland.

Switzerland’s excellence in private schools is well-known, and there are not too many language barriers to read there. Sofia suddenly sent her children to North America. Simon guessed that there should be other inside information, perhaps her ex-husband thought The child is going to go.

However, Sofia did not make it clear that Simon was not easy to ask too much.

Next to the runway at JFK Airport, Janet walked out of the cabin and saw Simon, and immediately trot down, and the bird returned to the man's arms, until the sound of high heels sounded behind her, and the woman finally bit on Simon's lips. After that, he was willing to let go of him.

Simon also saw Sofia and his party.

The senior woman is wearing a white professional o1 set, still intellectual and beautiful, with a child left and right hand in hand, the boy is older, about ten years old, looks a little shy, on the other side the little girl of seven or eight years old It's a pair of bright blue eyes without looking timidly at Simon.

Behind the senior woman, this is a couple with gray-headed heads. They noticed that Simon looked at them and nodded in a restrained manner.

Because Sofia's parents were present, Simon originally intended to shake hands with the senior woman as a greeting, but Sofia let go of the two children, and stepped forward generously and embracing Simon before saying, "Long time no see, Simon."

Then I started to introduce my children. The boy's name was Daniel Fissi and he was 10 years old this year. The girl's name was Gemma Fissi and he was 7 years old.

When introducing their parents, the senior women were obviously not so enthusiastic. Simon felt that although the elderly couple were very accommodating to their daughters, and Sofia also brought them to look at their children, it was obvious that Simon was now a senior woman and her parents. There is a very clear gap between them.
