Hollywood New Century

In the corner of the theater, Simon and Jean Mayer watched the interaction between the creators of "The Incredible Hulk" and reporters and film critics, but they talked about other things.

"Simon, Hollywood has existed for many years. From the star system to the big studio producer system, the right to speak is always in the hands of the big studios. Recently, due to some reasons, there have been some bad scandals, which is not conducive to Hollywood developed," Jean Mayer, as one of the five CAA tigers of the year, has been in Universal Pictures for many years, the old fox.

Of course Simon knows what he means. The Hollywood Women's Rights Club has its own support. First, the "genius dad" Bill Cosby was brought to court. Years of sin also ruined his reputation.

Hollywood has always been a dirty, scandalous place, and some unbearable scandals inevitably broke out.

Woody Allen, Roland Polanski, Morgan Freeman and other big-name directors and stars who have been hiding in Europe have all been reported in scandals.

Of course, people like indie directors Woody Allen and Roland Polanski, who have been through years of sexual assault lawsuits, are now being mentioned.

Mainly, veteran acting stars like Morgan Freeman were also exposed to the scandal of molesting female actors, which has indeed cast a shadow over Hollywood.

And, that's what Simon-instructed to take the black man, slow down Mario's current campaign from Hollywood's black support, and make himself more important.

"Mr. Mayer, I understand, and I also understand the rules of Hollywood, but now Hollywood seems to have some sores, which affect our interests. The market of the entertainment and cultural industry is developing rapidly, and Hollywood can't be messed up," Simon explained. .

Jean Mayer was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Simon, you are also at the top of the Hollywood pyramid. Men and women have never been equal in Hollywood!"

Simon supports feminism, did Jean Mayer not understand his main purpose?

"It's an information society now, new media are developing too fast, and some things will always break out," Simon looked at the red wine in his hand,

"If the future erupts without preparation, the shock it will cause is beyond our imagination."

"Although we have mastered television, radio, newspapers and magazines, the technology network in Silicon Valley is not ours, and the public can read the information faster!"

Jean Mayer sighed: "You young people have different ideas, especially geniuses like you, Simon, but Hollywood has Hollywood rules, and some things will have a bad influence if exposed."

"The development of new media is changing with each passing day, and some things will be easier to deal with now than in the future," Simon smiled and continued,

"It doesn't matter under the rules, but if it goes too far, it will backfire. The pressure needs to be released slowly, otherwise it will hurt us!"

"Simon, what do you mean?" Jean Mayer seemed to hear what Simon was going to do.

"Harvey Weinstein?" Not only Jean Mayer, but Hollywood knows that the biggest competitors of Xinghai Entertainment are Lionsgate and Weinstein Films, but Lionsgate is a genre market after all; and Weinstein Films The owner of the industry is the founder of Miramax, who has a unique vision in art films. Now Xinghai Film is thriving, and it is a natural enemy.

Moreover, the feud between Simon Pike and Harvey Weinstein is also known to many people.

"I'm not interested in him, but Mr. Mayer has a good relationship with him. You can remind him not to challenge my bottom line. He can't bear my anger," Simon said, staring at Jean Mayer.

"Xinghai Entertainment is only a part of my industry, but now it is bigger than Weinstein Films. People, don't always live in the glory of the past."

Jean Mayer was startled, Simon's eyes were too sharp, and he still nodded.

After all, he is only the president of Universal Pictures, with NBC Universal on it, and General Electric as the boss behind the scenes.

In terms of identity and status, the current Simon is not comparable to a studio president, he is the real behind-the-scenes capital group.

"Simon, in fact, many people have already reminded him, let him calm down, but Harvey Weinstein is also deeply rooted in Hollywood, and has been the top figure in Hollywood for many years. Fame and influence are great, this will It caused a shock in Hollywood, so you have to think carefully!" Jean Mayer couldn't imagine what would happen if Harvey Weinstein faced the same situation as Bill Cosby?

"Don't worry, I'm also a member of Hollywood, and I have the responsibility to maintain the prosperity of Hollywood. If I don't break the rules, I don't care," Simon said. After all, he is also a beneficiary of Hollywood rules.

Jean Mayer nodded and left the theater immediately. After all, being the chief operating officer of Universal Pictures is also very busy!

Coming to the balcony on the second floor of the theater, Simon leaned on the railing to see the brightly lit Universal City scene, the best theme park after Disneyland.

"Hey, Mr. Pike!" Liv Tyler also came to the balcony to blow air, and greeted Simon when he saw him.

"Call me Simon, the large-scale promotion of the movie "The Incredible Hulk" is about to start, and then you will be busy!" The elf princess, who is only 31 years old this year, is wearing an off-the-shoulder dress with a height of 183. good.

"Be busy," Liv Tyler said with a tired look in her eyes, walking to Simon, leaning on the railing, and smiling, "I saw you at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Charity Ball before!"

"However, because of the crowd, Simon, you didn't notice that I should."

Liv Tyler just divorced Royston Langdon, the lead singer and bassist of the psychedelic rock band "Space Pigs" this year. She is raising her three-year-old son alone. Naturally, she is in a bad mood. It's good to be busy with work.

Simon looked at Liv Tyler, who was indeed very similar to Anne Hathaway, and smiled: "People should look like before, the scenery will be better!"

"Oh, Simon, where do you think there is a better view?" Liv Tyler asked with a smile.

"The Argentinian Belk sparkling wine at Cowell Bar on Hollywood Boulevard is good. It should be very suitable for you now. Let's go have a drink together!" Simon invited. Although he had just drank some red wine, Simon was still very sober. of.

After Liv Tyler brushed the long hair from her ear with her hand, she looked at Simon and nodded with a smile, and then left the theater together with Simon's outstretched arm.
