Hollywood Hunter

The original timeline was basically a copy of the original lineup of "Yuyan" which copied the "Instinct" routine.

The director of the film is William Friedkin who once directed "The Exorcist" and "French Drug Dealer". The screenwriter is the creator of "Instinct" Joe Ezetjas and the heroine is Linda Fioren. Tino, the film production cost is as high as 50 million US dollars.

It is a pity that the two films "Jade Flame" and "Dancing Girl", which were released at the same time in 1995 by Joe Ezerte Haas, ended in a fiasco at the box office. This famous writer who has been sought after by Hollywood has since been reduced to no one. Degree, never turned over again.

There is actually another reason why Simon and Jonathan talk about this script at this time.

William Friedkin is the husband of Shirley Lansing, the head of MGM.

Hollywood is not accustomed to the habit of some people eating a movie for a lifetime. William Fredkin once directed the phenomenon-level "The Exorcist". At that time, not only the global box office explosion, but also became the first in Hollywood history. To the horror film nominated for the best Oscar movie.

It's just that Fredkin has been completely exhausted in these years, and he hasn't even eaten his old one. The film made one film and one film, and most of the time he could only act as a TV director.

Since they are husband and wife, Shirley Lansing must of course consider for her husband. In recent years, she has been trying to recommend Fred King to direct some projects. Because of the popular trends in recent years, plus she is also very good at it, Lansing This time I also fancy "Yu Yan".Simon valued Shirley Lansing, a rare senior executive in Hollywood history, but it was also impossible to invest in a project that was destined to fail.

MGM, who has just regained his vitality, can't stand such tossing.

Since Simon lacked interest in this project, Jonathan did not mention it, and instead said: "The review of the Disney acquisition, the Washington side should have the result next month, Vivendi is not satisfied with the current management. They Should I try to dig people from your side?"

Simon nodded, thinking of something, and asked with a smile: "Vivendi has contacted you?"

In the past six months, Jeffrey Kasenberg has left, Michael Eisner resigned due to illness, Frank Wells is about to retire, and in the 1980s, the three core executives who brought Disney from prosperity were swept away. And empty, Vivendi, who is about to win Disney, is not very satisfied with other executives. During this time, he is looking for the next head of this big film company.

The most powerful Daenerys entertainment in Hollywood is undoubtedly the best target for prying the corner.

However, the traditional concept of preferring the chicken to the head is not wrong, but it is a pity that the strength of Disney and Daenerys is very different now, and it is still a mess. The core of Daenerys Entertainment can basically see the future of Hollywood. The general trend of the industry, even if you want to share a big tank with some people, there must be no reason to jump into the bowl.

As for some second-level seniors who are willing to change jobs, Vivendi is also disappointing.

In addition to Daenerys, some well-known independent producers or senior executives of brokerage companies are also more suitable candidates. It was just that Michael Ovitz, who was trying to pull into Disney at the time of Michael Eisner, was obviously out, otherwise Vivendi It will not start searching for candidates again.

This time Michael Ovitz is far from the first person in the Hollywood Power List, and because Michael Eisner was once the opposition of Vivendi's acquisition of Disney, Ovitz has a very personal relationship with Eisner. There is also some kind of implication, and it's not surprising to be out.

Then, Jonathan, who has a good relationship with Simon, has undoubtedly become another suitable target.

Jonathan did not disguise, nodded and said: "Yes, but I have refused."

If there is no Daenerys Entertainment turned out, Jonathan Friedman can't help but be able to jump from the brokerage company to control a big Hollywood studio.

The brokerage company seems to be beautiful, and in the final analysis, it is still a job of waiting for people.And, even if you hold shares in a brokerage company,

This is also the main reason why Michael Owitz would abandon his "Hollywood Power List No. 1" as the second-place leader of Disney.

It is different now.

Jonathan can also see that compared to Daenerys Entertainment, which has a market value of more than 100 billion and continues to expand, the other major Hollywood will only continue to decline in the future, this decline will inevitably have the result of Daenerys boost.Jonathan didn't think that he could make this young man open his company network with his personal relationship with Simon.

Therefore, not only will you not get the help of Simon when you switch to Disney, but the previous friendship between the two parties may vanish.

Jonathan often regrets it now.

It was not that he had no chance to join Daenerys Entertainment. If he did so, he would not only be one of the core giants of Daenerys Entertainment, but also become a billionaire with the listing of Daenerys. Even billionaires are not impossible.

By comparison, although WMA has become the leader of the WMA, after so many years, Jonathan's accumulated family has only surpassed 50 million US dollars. A large part of this comes from the investment advice Simon occasionally provided to him.

Simon is very pleased that Jonathan can make this choice. If he really quits to take charge of Disney, the friendship that the two parties accumulated in the past may really disappear. Although he is very grateful to Jonathan for his help, Simon will not change Danny for him. Lisi Entertainment's established expansion strategy.

The two then talked about Daenerys' latest foreign cooperation plan, Paramount and DreamWorks reached a cooperation agreement and other topics. During this period, some entertainment was inevitable. Simon didn't leave Jonathan with Charlize Theron until ten o'clock in the middle of the night. The mansion of the family stayed nearby in a mansion in Beverly Hills.

The following weekend, the most notable news in Hollywood came from MGM.

Although there is no official announcement, the news that MGM is about to restart the 007 series and received two foreign cooperation projects from Daenerys is eloquent.

Needless to say, James Bond's appeal.

Moreover, with the news of the series restart, there is news that MGM has obtained more 007 initiative.

The other two projects that reached cooperation with Daenerys are even more eye-catching.

The series of "Thunderbolt" adapted from the popular TV series in the 1970s and the series "Spy from the Shadows" adapted from Robert Ludron's best-selling novel.

That's right.

The key to this matter is the'series'.

This means that Daenerys’s 10 foreign cooperation projects this time are likely to be no longer just 10 films, but will be a series production like "Mission Impossible", even if it does not reach the DC movie universe. The height that the series of movies can bring to the studio is certainly far more than a single work.

When there is no exact news, everyone can wait patiently.

Now, with MGM taking away two items directly, the whole Hollywood is boiling.Whether it is several other studios or major talent agency companies, they have actively explored more news about the cooperation plan.

Monday, October 10.

The new week, the 1994 Forbes US 400 Rich List was released, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

It's just that many people see Simon Westero's personal worth of $300 billion in the top of the list, and inevitably lose a lot of interest in their hearts.

$300 billion.

Isn't this a figure that many media have been hype about this time?

Moreover, the ambiguity of Forbes magazine in many data processing has quickly attracted the attention of interested people.Everyone is smart, and naturally guess what happened.

However, because of the rapid decline of the Hearst family in the first half of the year with the Westero system, coupled with the Westero system's efforts to pull the US media, the North American mainstream media did not raise the number of 300 billion US dollars. Many objections, the original relatively open Internet platform, because it is basically the site of the Westeros system, also failed to set off waves.

However, some media saw the gap between the first place on the list and the huge wealth of the subsequent rich, and believed that the Forbes list had no need to continue.

You know, Simon, who is the first, has a net worth of 300 billion US dollars, and the second door classmates directly fell to 28 billion US dollars, a difference of more than 10 times.The entire Forbes US 400 rich list, the sum of the 400 rich people's net worth is 638.3 billion US dollars, Simon Westero personally accounted for almost half.

Is it really necessary to have a strong sense of powerlessness on the list?

Simon thought about reducing the topic of this matter as much as possible, but why the tree wanted to calm down, only one month away from the mid-term election voting, at a critical moment for the American political group to dance wildly, how could such an obvious target as Simon escape? .

As a result, many politicians who are sprinting and canvassing have once again picked up topics related to Simon’s personal wealth, especially those who are on the opposite side of the Westeros system. They have spared no effort to publicly express their views, which will limit the super wealth’s personal wealth. Controlled growth, targeted'asset tax' and other issues have become popular again.

Simon can make most of the mainstream media in the United States cautious about topics related to the Westeros system, but it is impossible to block the mouth of all politicians, nor can it affect the extremely developed and extensive local media platform in the United States.

However, Simon certainly didn't look down on it.

After the release of Forbes' list, the media public relations and political lobbying team of the Westeros system was specifically collecting the words of a politician. Those people can be fostered and drawn. Those people should be blacklisted. It is clear that Simon is the least What is missing is patience and time, and there is even more money support.

It took ten or eight years of operation to bring some politicians who opposed the Westeros system into the dust. This kind of thing was not difficult for Simon.

For those diehards, unless they are saints from small to large, Simon has enough resources to dig the other side into the sky. Even, even if it is really a saint, it is not impossible to be pulled into the water, even if they don’t, their relatives It is impossible for a friend to persevere.

In this world, no one is impeccable.

With the release of the "Forbes" list, the following Wednesday, Daenerys Entertainment Group also released its first quarterly financial report after listing.

From July to September 1994, Daenerys Entertainment Group's revenue reached US$6.708 billion, an increase of 39% year-on-year, and quarterly net profit reached US$771 million, an increase of 21% year-on-year.

Both core data exceeded Wall Street's expectations.

Not only that, the financial report also listed the highlights of the Daenerys Entertainment Group's core movies, TV, games, music, video tapes and other businesses. Even if many people witnessed, they saw many phenomena that appeared around everyone in 1994 The top-level entertainment topics are all in Daenerys Entertainment Group, all integrated together, can still give a strong sense of shock.

On the day of the earnings report, Daenerys Entertainment's stock price rose 2.3%. At the close of Wednesday, the market value of the Hollywood entertainment giant was as high as $127.3 billion.

Daenerys Entertainment Group's closing market value on the first day of listing on July 1 was $112.8 billion.

For several months, many media and capital that have always believed that there is a bubble component in Daenerys Entertainment Group's stock price continued to decline, and even bet a large short.The result was that, within three months of listing, Daenerys Entertainment Group's share price showed no signs of falling or crashing, but instead maintained an overall upward trend in the ups and downs.

In three months, compared with the initial listing, Daenerys Entertainment's stock price has risen 12% overall, and its market value has risen from the original $112.8 billion to $127.3 billion. From a purely numerical point of view, from more than 110 billion to more than 120 billion, The increase does not seem to be too large, but in fact, the three-month increase in the market value of $14.5 billion, just this item, has exceeded the market value of most companies in the US stock market.

According to Simon’s 81.9% shareholding in Daenerys Entertainment, within three months, his personal net worth rose by $11.8 billion with the Daenerys Entertainment Group alone, and the entertainment giant as a whole brought Simon $104.3 billion in personal wealth.

On the other hand, despite the impact of the US Department of Justice officially launching an antitrust investigation, Cisco and AOL, two core technology companies in the Westeros system, suffered short-term share price setbacks and shocks. Also showing upward momentum again.

Two days after Daenerys Entertainment Group released its financial report, Cisco and AOL also released quarterly financial reports on Friday, October 14.

This is of course arranged by Simon deliberately.

Since some things are inevitable, Simon hopes that all relevant topics can be released within a week.

Cisco and AOL's dazzling to dazzling high-growth financial report data, the two companies' share price growth rate exceeded 3% on Friday. At the close of the day, Cisco's market value reached 87.9 billion US dollars, and AOL's market value was as high as 71.6 billion US dollars. .

According to Simon's 46.3% and 65.5% stakes in Cisco and AOL, respectively, the two companies contributed $40.6 billion and $46.9 billion to Simon, respectively.Counting the $105.6 billion contributed by Daenerys after the stock price rose slightly that day, just three companies contributed $193.1 billion in personal wealth to Simon.

Only three companies have brought Simon Westero's personal worth close to US$200 billion. The entire Westero system, Igerett, Melisandre, Cersei Capital, Verizon Telecom, Nokia, BHP Group ...What will all add up?

As a result, more and more people realized that the list released by Forbes on Monday was really a lot of water.
