Hollywood New Century

Unsurprisingly, the Lakers won the Magic in the second game of the finals.

In the courtyard of Kristen Stewart's villa outside Glendale, Los Angeles, Simon has just parked his car and unbuckled his seat belt.

"Well," Kristen Stewart kissed impatiently.

Simon also hugged the girl without hesitation and started to respond. After watching the game, the two went to the restaurant to eat something. It was already midnight.

Kristen Stewart is wearing a **** casual T-shirt today, and her hands are on fire while kissing.

In the silent night, in Kristen Stewart's Glendale villa, the scenery is infinite at the moment.

In the dark hall, scattered clothes were thrown on the ground beside the sofa. The two people on the sofa were already fighting fiercely.

The next morning, in Kristen Stewart's villa room, Simon, who was lying on the bed, was looking at the ceiling, and with a burst of exhalation, the whole person relaxed.

After a while, Kristen Stewart, who got out of the quilt, lay on Simon's chest, gasping for breath.

After a while, Simon looked at Kristen Stewart's beautiful blushing face and smiled: "'Twilight' is about to be released, you should be busy, and then you have to start shooting the sequel. , are there any other films to be made?"

Kristen Stewart responded weakly after hearing it: "I also have a youth comedy movie "Adventureland" that will be released next year."

Simon nodded without a trace, as long as it didn't affect the release plan of the sequel to "Twilight".

It was noon when Simon left Kristen Stewart, and of course he didn't go to the company, but went directly back to Beverly Hills.

"Sir, the car is here!" The butler came to Simon's viewing room to report.

Simon, who was watching Los Angeles on the sofa, came to his senses, nodded, and then got up and walked out of the room.

The car went directly to the King's Wharf by the sea in Los Angeles and boarded an exquisite yacht.

"Welcome, Simon!" A bald old man on the yacht greeted with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Diller," Simon had come to meet Barry Diller, the powerful man who dominated Hollywood in his early years.

"Son of Hollywood" Barry Diller is now in his late 70s. In his twenties, he dropped out of the University of California to join William Morris Agency, and a few years later joined the ABC television network as an assistant to the president.

Then, when he was in his thirties, he entered the Paramount Film Group, and after becoming the leader of Paramount, he developed Paramount, which was on the verge of collapse, into the seven most competitive film groups in Hollywood.

After that, he left Paramount and formed the Fox network, the fourth network in the United States, with Rupert Murdoch of News Corporation.

After leaving Fox in 1992, he established an interactive network, which started from TV shopping. Now the interactive network has become a well-known online store in the United States for online shopping, travel, and ticket booking.

Simon followed Barry Diller to the yacht's living room and said with a smile, "I've always heard that Mr. Diller is a yacht lover, it's true."

Barry Diller smiled, looking at the young Simon Pike in front of him, he really felt that the future was terrifying.

At the age of 27, he took charge of the now fierce Xinghai Entertainment, with a net worth of over 10 billion US dollars, another genius in the hearts of Americans.

"Simon, I can't compare to you, your 'Polaris' is an eye-opener for me, it's really great," Barry Diller's own net worth is not much, although he can afford the Polaris Yes, but certainly not comparable to Simon Pike.

"By the way, Mr. Diller, what do you think about the current situation in Hollywood?" Simon asked with a smile. After all, Barry Diller, as a Hollywood tycoon back then, must have an unusual vision.

Barry Diller shook his head and said helplessly: "I have left Hollywood for more than ten years, and my craftsmanship, technology and other aspects can't keep up with your pace. What can I think of as an old man?"

Simon just looked at Barry Diller and smiled and didn't speak. As the creator of TV series and TV movies, how could Barry Diller have no idea.

In the face of Simon's eyes, Barry Diller continued: "Simon, Hollywood is a whole, and the market it faces is also the world's market. Hollywood is also an important channel for the spread of American spirit, and many aspects need to be united. ."

"Well, Xinghai Entertainment has indeed been too popular recently." Simon also understands the Hollywood system. Xinghai Entertainment's market share has increased too fast, and it has seized the market of other filmmakers.

"My family will use other means to crack down on Xinghai Entertainment, theaters, MPAA, etc., but after all, the United States is a free economic competition, Xinghai Entertainment is not afraid of some small setbacks now," Simon has confidence in Xinghai Entertainment ,

"Will they unite?"

The reason Barry Diller is meeting with Simon today is to answer questions as Simon's advisor. Hearing that Simon was worried about the joint targeting of other film companies, he nodded slightly.

"It's really a bit difficult to handle. Xinghai's current media system is not perfect. Except for Sony, the six major media groups are almost all part of the media group. The competition is indeed too great," Barry Diller continued. After all, when he left the Fox Network, he I also thought about acquiring a large studio to build a media group.

When competing for Paramount, they lost to Viacom's Summer Redstone, when they competed for Columbia Pictures, they lost to Sony, and when they competed for Universal, they lost to Vivendi Group.

Simon leaned on the sofa and pressed his finger on his temple, "Xinghai Entertainment is currently focusing on developing overseas distribution networks, and the North American market has always been the main force. If I have to spend resources to resist them, it will waste my time and energy, but this again have to do."

Barry Diller nodded and continued to ask: "I heard that Xinghai Entertainment is working with DreamWorks Animation and an international consortium to build a movie theme park in China?"

"Yes, this is of great benefit to the development of the Chinese market, and it is also very good for the company's promotion. The downstream market and derivatives of movies are the weak points of Xinghai Entertainment. We must catch up!" Simon is very much about the overall industry chain of movies. value.

Netflix, and NBC Universal, are two important pieces of the puzzle.

"At present, Xinghai Entertainment has to find a way to join MPAA and become one of its members. Before MPAA, there were always seven places. After Sony joined three consortiums to control MGM, MPAA members became six. Xinghai Entertainment's current strength is absolutely can enter," Barry Diller advises Simon,

"Being an MPAA member helps in many ways."

Simon nodded, this is definitely something to strive for, and the annual membership fee of MPAA members is not much. As a ticket to a top film company, MPAA membership is a must.
