Hollywood New Century

"Mr. Pike, good afternoon!"

"Mr. Pike!"

"Simon!"

Walking around the garden, everyone who attended the banquet took the initiative to say hello to Simon, some of whom knew him and some who did not.

The warm sunshine shone on the grass, and the people who attended the reception gathered together in twos and threes to maintain their circle.

Sofia Vergara and Jessica Alba came together, and Simon hugged Jessica Alba, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and she was still so **** and charming.

"It seems that people from the entertainment and fashion circles are the main ones," Simon said with a smile, looking at the crowd around him.

"There are a lot of Jewish wealthy circles around here, all of them are financial investors. The current financial tsunami has caused many of them to suffer very heavy losses. The luxury houses for sale nearby are also waiting for buyers one by one," Sofia Vega Ra has been active here recently, and he is very clear about the situation.

"So, a lot of people are busy watching the changes on Wall Street right now!"

"Also, I heard that you also invested in some subprime housing loans before?" Simon asked,

"Is the loss big?"

Sofia Vergara was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said: "No, I bought a few apartments as an investment, and now the house price has fallen a little bit, but I didn't hurt my bones. After all, I also mainly invest in Phoenix Fund! "

Sofia Vergara smiled. Although there were some losses, those were nothing compared to the successful investment of the Phoenix Fund.

Simon nodded. Many people are diversifying their investments and will not put their eggs in one basket. It is normal to have profits and losses.

After Sofia Vergara walked away to greet a few acquaintances, Simon took Jessica Alba to the pool not far away and sat down.

Jessica Alba approached Simon and said, "The company has been busy recently. I will only be in Miami for two or three days before returning to Los Angeles."

"Well, is that right? You haven't made any movies this year, and your energy is really focused on that honest company?" Simon said and smiled, looking at Jessica Alba's delicate face,

"Doing business, take your time, this year's market is not good, you don't have to worry too much!"

"You can also attend more business receptions in the future. You will always have some network resources based on your years of relationship in Hollywood, which will be helpful for the company's publicity."

"I know," said Jessica Alba, looking at Simon and smiling, "Have you paid attention to this year's Forbes list? The youngest self-made billionaire, your record was taken by one of the founders of Facebook. Zuckerberg broke it, he is only 23 years old this year, and according to Facebook's current valuation, he is worth $3.5 billion this year;"

"According to the young rich list, you are the second, 26 years old, but your worth is almost three times his, and you are still the richest on the young rich list!"

"Pfft," Simon smiled and helplessly raised his forehead, "How can I pay attention to this kind of thing, anyway, those media and weekly magazines are always annoying me, it's true, but this Zuckerberg is still a bit interesting! "

The rapid development of Facebook represents the era of the new Internet social network industry. Simon has been on guard for a long time, and he also owns a 20% stake in Twitter, doesn't he? In addition, Instagram and whatsapp that will appear in the future cannot be missed.

"Okay, relax, I'll accompany the guests over there," Simon said, patted the girl's shoulder and stood up.

Xinghai Entertainment, the Nine-headed Bird Fund, and the New Jersey Nets, etc. At present, Simon's influence is not a small force in the entertainment, financial and sports circles.

This time, the party was specially held at the new manor in Miami. Of course, many big people will come to participate.

As a starting business, Hollywood's resources are of course the largest, and it is also the industry that Simon is most proficient in.

Latin queen Shakira, Hollywood director Ridley Scott, James Cameron's ex-wife and female director Katherine Bigelow and other entertainment people.

The anti-war film "The Hurt Locker" directed by Kathryn Bigelow was originally invested by Summit Entertainment, which was acquired by Summit Entertainment and is now run by Venus Pictures.

Catherine Bigelow is worried that this kind of art film will not be taken seriously by Venus Pictures for distribution, so she has been in frequent contact with the staff of Venus Pictures recently. It is indeed helpless, a proper old woman of literature and art!

However, Simon is also drooling over the upcoming "Avatar" directed by her ex-husband.

"Mr. Pike, good afternoon!" 007 Daniel Craig and Bond girl Olga Kurylenko who came to the party greeted Simon Pike when they saw Simon Pike come over.

"Hello, "Quantum of Solace" has just been released in the United States. The box office in the first week is really good, exceeding $70 million, which is even more powerful than "Casino Royale". I heard that when it was released in the United Kingdom at the end of last month, the box office in the first week broke " The record of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a new record for the first week of the UK box office!" Simon couldn't help but praise, after Sony Columbia took control of MGM, the new chapter of "007" seems to be much more explosive. , The contribution of the half-dead MGM is not small.

Daniel Craig and Olga Kurylenko did promote "007: Quantum of Solace" in the United States, and of course they are happy to be praised by Simon Pike.

In particular, Olga Kurylenko, a young actor born in Ukraine, has always been very excited about the rare opportunity to meet a big man of Simon's level.

"Thank you, but it's also because the 007 series is so influential, and it has accumulated a large number of loyal fans over the years," Daniel Craig said modestly.

"Yes, but does Mr. Parker also like to watch 007?" Olga Kurylenko also asked softly.

"I like all good movies. As the 22nd 007 series, "Quantum of Solace" continues the plot of the previous "Casino Royale". It is still very interesting, and the reputation of "Casino Royale" is obvious to all. It's no wonder people," Simon said, smiling and saying:

"Enjoy the party, our James Bonds and Bond girls!"

Simon is a bit impressed with Olga Kurylenko. She was the heroine in the action movie "Killer 47", an R-rated game adaptation released last year.

As for the Bond girl, Simon did not have much impression of the rest except Sophie Marceau and Eva Green. After all, the iron James Bond, the flowing Bond girl is not.

007 series, what a good IP, Simon can only sigh in his heart.
