Chapter 842 Passing the Trial and Opening

The two little guys Snow and Greenwich were received in Los Angeles on September 19th. Sofia did not come to North America, but Jennifer went to Rome in person. Simon probably could feel the woman’s thoughts, not as unhappy , I only hope that the two little guys can truly integrate into the Westeros family.

When Jennifer went to pick someone up, Janet arranged for a small team from Boeing.

The two Boeing 767s ordered by the Westeros family at the beginning of the year are about to begin interior decoration. Janet handed over the design of one of them to Sofia, and asked the female assistant to speak. This aircraft will be Sofia’s exclusive car after the words. Come to Los Angeles to see the children.

Be considered a default.

Sofia did not refuse.

On the other hand, this weekend when "Happy Ranch" went live and triggered a national carnival, the Simons were in New York. In order to ensure the safety of "American Idol", they personally participated in the later work of the first episode of the first season of this reality show.

September 25, the new week.

Time to come to the end of September, TV series "Survivor", "Friends", "Song Fei Zheng Zheng", "Desperate Housewives", "Beverly Wife", "Who Will Become a Millionaire" and other TV series produced by Daenerys Entertainment Both the reality show and the reality show have been launched recently in the latest season. In the last week of this month, there are two new projects waiting for the launch of "American Idol" on September 26 and "Sex and the City" on September 28.

At the same time, on Tuesday morning, September 26, after a series of deal mergers and acquisitions this month, Daenerys Entertainment and the Metropolitan ABC Group held a press conference in New York, announcing that the merger of the two companies formally passed the US Department of Justice and All audits by the Federal Communications Commission and other departments are about to enter the next stage of the transaction.

Immediately after that, at eight o'clock in the evening, "American Idol" started broadcasting.

The total length of the first phase is 86 minutes, which is actually a two-part simulcast.This is the practice of most newly launched TV projects.

Simon did not sign on the list of "American Idol" producers as usual, but everyone in the circle knows that he has a high degree of participation in this reality show, so he has also bet on it closely, and many entertainment media have started to shoot before the show. It is predicted that the number of viewers in the first issue of "American Idol" will exceed 20 million. However, it turns out that most people's judgments are still too conservative.

Half an hour after the broadcast began, Nielsen, who monitors the ratings of US TV shows in real time, announced the first data on his official website.

34.7 million.

This is the number of viewers of the first issue of "American Idol", which has risen directly from the hot broadcast aggregation predicted by many media to a phenomenon level.

Immediately afterwards, Igrid's portal quickly pushed the manuscript to the front page, and popular entries appeared on Facebook, further promoting many potential viewers to pay attention to this reality show.

Simon rushed to New York last Thursday to complete the late work of the first issue of "American Idol", but still could not return to the West Coast.After Daenerys and the Metropolitan ABC merger pass the federal review, there is more work to be done next.

At the same time that the long-prepared "American Idol" was broadcast on ABC, Daenerys and Metropolitan ABC were holding a reception in a hotel in the Upper West Side, mainly to celebrate the approval of the merger by the authorities.The news of the opening of "American Idol" was also heard immediately, and everyone in the banquet hall toasted together to celebrate.

According to the usual practice, because of the early publicity, the just-opened episodes will definitely have a higher rating data, and the subsequent part of the audience who feels that they do not meet their tastes will change and change.

However, the start of 34.7 million, after the fall, as long as the average number of viewers of the first broadcast remains above 30 million, it is an absolute success.

The number of viewers of the previous "American Idol" hit 30 million, becoming the ace of FOX.This time, Simon's expectation is that even if the average audience rating in the first season reaches more than 20 million hits, even if he succeeds, he did not expect to underestimate himself.

Not only who confessed, as the news of the opening of the ratings and the red came, the hotel staff quickly moved a large-screen TV to the corner of the banquet hall, and the nature of the broadcast was "American Idol". A lot of people curiously watched what 30 million TV programs meant.

Simon did not join in the excitement, but gathered with several senior executives of the two companies to discuss the follow-up merger.

The merger is approved by the authorities, and the first thing to do next is settlement.

Because a flexible settlement plan was given at the beginning, MetABC shareholders were free to choose the ratio of stock to cash transactions, so it took two weeks to rank first. Many of these mergers and acquisitions directly submitted a large amount after passing the review. Cheques are much more tedious, and the additional accounting costs are in the tens of millions of dollars.

After the settlement is completed, it will be officially included in the Metropolitan ABC Group.

Then, according to the original plan for personnel adjustments, asset reorganization and other matters, the former chairman and CEO of the Metropolitan ABC Group, Tom Murphy, will retire. The TV assets of the Metropolitan ABC Group and the Daenerys TV department will Integration into a new Daenerys TV company, with Robert Iger as CEO, overseeing all the Daenerys Entertainment Group’s ABC TV network, ESPN TV network, USA TV network, AE TV network, TV, ABC radio, etc. TV assets.

In addition to the television network, the Metropolitan ABC Group also has a group of newspaper and magazine assets worth not less than $1 billion.

Simon initially planned to package this part of the asset for sale, but after thinking about it, he canceled the idea.

Daenerys Entertainment now does not lack this $1 billion in cash. On the contrary, more newspapers and magazines have one more voice in the media, so it intends to integrate with the batch of paper media inherited from the MCA.The decline of the paper media industry is already an inevitable trend, but even if the value of the last batch of assets depreciates to zero, it is irrelevant to the huge volume of Daenerys Entertainment.

After the initial adjustments, it will take one to two years to realize the synergy effect of the entire Daenerys entertainment integration.

Synergy, this is a seemingly simple word.

For many merged companies, it is not easy to realize.

When Time Company merged with Warner Bros., it was publicly publicized that it hoped that the two companies could achieve synergy. As a result, internal conflicts between Time Warner and the present are still ongoing. Executives from different hills compete for power. The synergy is not realized. Has been internally consumed.

If this were not the case, Time Warner’s share price would not remain sluggish.

Simon is confident about the synergy effect of the new Daenerys Entertainment, because this company has only one brain. Not only that, but from the beginning of the establishment of Daenerys Entertainment, Simon continued to promote cooperation between departments. It has become a corporate culture of Daenerys Entertainment.

In fact, there will inevitably be differences when there are more people.

Simon's attitude is very clear. No matter who wants to'stand on his own feet' under Daenerys Entertainment, then get out.Now Daenerys Entertainment, all the senior executives are all along with Simon to the veteran of the enterprise, but Simon actually does not mind becoming'Zhu Yuanzhang' at all.

After all, the reception is not a place to talk about things.

Everyone got together and chatted for more than ten minutes and then broke up with other guests.

Simon had just changed himself a glass of champagne from the waiter tray, and two small women in similar black evening dresses came together, but they were sisters Kim Richards and Kyle Richards. Toasting to the two women, Simon glanced around his eyes at random and found that Richard Hilton and Cathy Hilton were also nearby, noting that Simon was looking over, and was also aiming at Cathy Hilton here. Hurry to avoid eyes.

The three sisters gave Simon a completely different feeling.

Mainly, small.

Three sisters, the tallest elder sister Cathy Hilton, also only 160cm tall, Kim Richards and Kyle Richards are both small men around 155CM.

Just smiled and took back his eyes. Simon greeted him actively: "Kim, Kyle, how are you doing?"

"not bad."

Kyle Richards took the conversation first, only to look at Simon with a little grudge in his eyes.After that night, the two of them have been trying to get closer to Simon again, hoping that he can help them re-start the actor career, but only later discovered that this seemingly ubiquitous man, who wanted to say a few words in person, was so difficult. .

Last time they almost forced their elder sister to get the invitation letter for the premiere of "Jurassic Park 2". As a result, at the later party, because of the consideration of Janet Westeros with Simon, the man was at that party. The waiting time is also very short, without even saying a word.

Kyle Richards also tried to fight for the role of "Sex and the City" to be broadcast this week, and even got Robert Iger's phone from her sister, and hinted that she and West were talking to each other. Luo's close relationship, I hope to take a shortcut.

It’s a pity that I didn’t even pass the first round of auditions and the response from the other party was direct. She was too low to play with other actors. The person in charge who passed her several times in a row was even impatient. The sarcasm team can never find a group of small women who are only 5 feet tall and play the role of urban fashion women. They are so angry that Kyle Richards dropped the phone on the spot.

As the most successful Nuggets girl in this circle, of course, they will not give up so easily.

So the sisters forcibly rubbed their elder sister's light into the party tonight.

I had already written the abdomen draft. First of all, I had to condemn the cool behavior that a guy forgot them afterwards, and then asked for a chance. Just came to a man and looked at the handsome face that looked harmless. The sisters suddenly had some quails.

The ignorant can be fearless.

Sister Richards, who was created by her mother in the direction of a celebrity, has not been ignorant for so many years. On the contrary, she has a profound understanding and understanding of the top level of this social pyramid. After seeing the scenery in it, you can experience a lot of seemingly simple The power behind his identity, the young people in front of him, is undoubtedly the one that makes them totally surrender.

The easiest thing is that if he doesn’t give them, they will have no way. On the contrary, if he accidentally angers the other party, he can easily take everything away from them and leave them without a cone in this circle.

This is power.

The fear of power in human bones comes from this, because it can be killed and killed.Therefore, we can talk and laugh about other powers that cannot affect ourselves, just like the presidents of other countries.

When I first met, because a guy was too young and seemed to be too good to talk, I could let go a little.Over the past few months, I deeply realized that the other party is out of reach, so it is inevitable to be careful.

With a compliment in his tone, he casually talked about the American Idol being played in the corner of the hall. He wanted to go step by step, but forgot the occasion.Soon someone came over again, still a woman, a woman who could only look up to them.This time is the real look up.

With Jerry Hall's height of 183CM, then put on high heels, and look at Sister Richards, just like looking down at two children.

And after the woman walked in, she took Simon's arm directly without pretending, pretending to ask the men's two sisters' identities curiously.

Introducing a few words to each other, Jerry Hall pulled Simon away a little rudely and said there was something to talk about.Relying on Simon, with the "Fashion Workshop" that is still popular on TV, Jerry Hall has been very moisturizing in recent years, so I never thought of leaving, and after finding the Weijia female bodyguard around the waist, legs and legs, He also took the initiative to ask Simon for a guard and a guard.

It is actually a tacit understanding.

The women around him, Simon never stays forever. If they are willing to be Westeros' lover, they can get one guard and one guard, both as assistants and surveillance.If you want to leave, send the two girls around to return to the Westeros family. Until then, if you have an affair with other men, Simon will not be polite.

Jerry Hall is also a very smart woman.

At the beginning, he obtained US$5 million from Simon to buy a mansion, and asked for the one guard and one guard he deserved, so he did not ask Simon for more.However, leaning against big trees is a good way to cool off, not to mention Simon’s towering giant tree, "Fashion Workshop", plus several other projects that women have built on the resources of the Westeros system in recent years. There is a fashion brand created by the trend, which can be described as a buzz.

For Simon to hook up with other women, Jerry Hall did not say much, took the man to the sofa in the corner of the banquet hall and sat down, asked for two glasses of red wine to replace the man’s champagne, snuggled him to sit down, and smiled and asked Tao: "Are you interested in that type of woman?"

Simon hugged the woman's waist and rubbed her arms, laughing, "You know, I am a man who is brave enough to try."

Jerry Hall rolled his eyes and gestured to the TV that is still playing "American Idol" on the other side, saying, "This program is really good. There are 30 million viewers on the show, with an average of at least 20 million. Well. However, 5,000 players were sent out in one episode. I found this to be the secret to the success of the show. If you don’t send it later, do you think anyone will watch it?"
