Hollywood New Century

"Are you too strong just now to fight back without fear of Reed Hastings rejecting us?" Nina Jacobson said when there were only two people left.

"Heh, counterattack, what size is Netflix now, and what counterattack can it do? With the poison pill plan, can he persuade other shareholders not to be interested in Xinghai's shares?" Simon shook his head and was really not afraid.

"Netflix's situation does have its own advantages. After all, there is still a certain market for DVDs. Their current nearly 9 million members are all high-quality customers."

"If it really doesn't work, I can support another online on-demand website at any time, or create an online website with other media groups to compete with hulu. What else will Netflix have at that time?"

Relying on self-made dramas, relying on ratings and recommendations, and relying on the entire series to be launched at the same time? With themselves, they can only be followers in the back.

After all, in terms of capital and the relationship between Hollywood, Netflix is ​​not enough. Netflix is ​​not the stupid Netflix of the future.

"Don't worry, Reed Hastings is a smart man, he sees the situation clearly, joining Xinghai is the best choice, content production is their biggest shortcoming, and now Hollywood values ​​them only me. In the future, he It will also be one of the executives of the Xinghai Group, and it is not a loss for him at all," Simon finally left the room, leaving Nina Jacobson with a helpless smile.

Such a luxurious yacht, coupled with a lot of Hollywood actresses, is not an exaggeration to describe it as a drunken fan.

Simon met many people along the way, whether they were familiar or unfamiliar, and they all chatted enthusiastically.

"Cheers," CAA's Brian Lord and Simon touched glasses. CAA has already wooed Susan White of AC brokerage company to strengthen the cooperation with Xinghai Entertainment.

The films produced by Xinghai Pictures are now more powerful than each other. Not only is Susan White one of the six partners, but the right to speak is also growing.

Without him, Susan White's AC brokerage company was founded by the former Xinghai veteran Sonia Roman. This relationship can basically make Susan White invincible.

"Brian, your CAA sports department has developed really fast in the past two years," Simon said and smiled. The overlord of sports brokerage has always been the IMG Group. After CAA established the sports department in 2006, it invaded the sports department.

In the American football market, a large part of it is now the agency of CAA, and of course the basketball market. The main target of CAA's poaching is the IMG Group.

"Simon, the Miami Dolphins and the New Jersey Nets, if you need anything, I think our CAA will satisfy you." As the current helm of the CAA, Brian Lord is no fool.

Simon nodded and said, "The 3+1 contract signed by LeBron James of the Cavaliers with the Cavaliers will be the third year next year. Can the Cavaliers keep him?"

Brian Lord nodded. This year, the Cavaliers were slaughtered by the Nets in the second round of the playoffs, which indeed made many people not optimistic about the future of the Cavaliers.

"Simon, do you want to bring James to the Nets?" Brian Lord smiled. As the MVP of the regular season, LeBron James led the Cavaliers in the first place in the regular season, although he did not perform well in the playoffs.

However, the Cavaliers are LeBron James' hometown team and the Cavaliers' champion rookie that year.

"Everyone can see the future of the Nets. After the regular season starts next year, the team will open a new stadium. The attraction of a metropolis like New York is extraordinary," Simon said with a smile.

"In the Cavaliers, he currently has no chance to win the championship. Cleveland's market can't support other strong players, and James can't get help."

Brian Lord nodded. LeBron James' popularity is unquestionable. Even if he leaves Cleveland, he must join a team capable of winning the championship.

However, the development of the Nets in the past few years is also very good. The rookies selected are all excellent young people, and they have the experience of the veteran Chauncey Billups, which can be expected.

CAA currently has a lot of strong players. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Allen Iverson are all their customers.

If you don't give him eye drops now, CAA will make every effort to promote the Heat's Big Three next year. Can Simon bear this?

And last year, CAA bought the company of Portuguese agent Mendes, and football coach Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo are also their clients.

Not to mention David Beckham, who joined LA Galaxy from Real Madrid two years ago, is represented by CAA.

"David Beckham didn't play a few games in Los Angeles before he was sent to AC Milan in Italy by you. This year, you are expected to lead Cristiano Ronaldo to join Real Madrid in Spain. It seems that it is another one. A record-breaking transfer fee," Simon sighed.

"David went to AC Milan to stay in shape for next year's World Cup. Ronaldo hasn't decided yet. Who did you hear that he was going to Real Madrid?" Brian Lord smiled helplessly, Cristiano Ronaldo The leader is still his agent Mendes. Although CAA is the backstage of Mendes' company, Mendes himself has the right to decide.

"Haha, isn't it obvious? Hasn't it been officially announced that Kaka, the winner of the 2007 Ballon d'Or, has joined Real Madrid? The current president of Real Madrid is operating according to the standards of the Galaxy Battleship. It is not normal for the winner of the Ballon d'Or last year to join. Unless Manchester United can defeat Barcelona to defend the title in the Champions League final between Manchester United and Barcelona three days later? Has a team defended the title for so many years?" Simon said casually, Cristiano Ronaldo joining Real Madrid must be after the Champions League.

"Simon, you seem to know a lot about European football too?" Brian Lord's focus was different, and he seemed to hear other meanings from Simon's words.

It is rumored that Simon Pike is interested in English football.

"Well," Simon smiled at Brian Lord and said, "I now have an NFL team and an NBA team, can't I have another football club? "

Brian Lord nodded. There are many American businessmen investing in football now, and Simon's thoughts are normal.

"Have you considered which country's football league?" Brian Lord asked.

"In addition to the Premier League with the best business operation, which other team can impress the capitalists in the United States?" Simon pointed out directly,

"As for which team it is, I have to study it. After all, there are not many choices."

Brian Lord also opened his mouth in surprise. With Simon's method, he must be thinking about business. It is estimated that the team market is also something he needs to consider. It seems that the entertainment industry is not enough for him to play, so is it vigorously developing the sports circle?

"It turns out that, then I hope we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future. We are also expanding the European sports field. CAA is currently discussing the introduction of capital," Brian Lord said. Why Parker is partnering with CAA. After all, when it comes to sports and entertainment, CAA is not the dominant class.

Simon nodded. It is estimated that it is Texas Pacific Capital (TPG). In the future, the largest shareholder of CAA will be the private equity fund TPG. It seems that the Chinese Culture Fund is also one of the shareholders of CAA.
