Hollywood New Century

At a coffee shop in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Nina Jacobson had a chat with Sony Columbia Pictures CEO Amy Pascal.

"Amy, let Sony stop suppressing 'The Thirteen Hairpins', it doesn't make sense, you know," Nina Jacobson got a call from Simon and asked her to deal with it.

Amy Pascal is a little confused, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" seems to be a Chinese movie?

"Simon is in China and just signed the Universal Studios Shanghai Resort agreement. He has a lot of business in China," Nina Jacobson looked at Amy Pascal's expression in front of her and knew she wasn't worried about it. .

Amy Pascal understood as soon as she heard it. Simon was in China. Someone there must have found Simon and said this.

"Nina, I don't understand why Simon..." Amy Pascal asked. After all, the US has a very clear attitude towards China and Japan.

"Benefits, the benefits that RB can give us are too small. To be precise, Simon's benefits in the RB market are too small. In addition to the entertainment market, Simon can't get much benefits. RB people are too exclusive," Nina Jacobson and Amy Pascal have a good relationship, so I just explained two more sentences.

"This is also the meaning of the capital behind Sony," Amy Pascal certainly doesn't care about these, but the RB consortium behind it is the meaning.

"Then you can pass the meaning back. Simon said he doesn't mind taking a Sony operation. It's no problem if the Hollywood Big Six becomes the Big Five or the Big Four," Nina smiled and continued,

"You also know that Simon's actions have always been unreasonable, and Samsung Columbia Pictures may not hurt Sony. So, if Sony doesn't listen, it will inform Kazuo Hirai to prepare for a head-to-head confrontation with Simon in the next few years."

Amy Pascal said helplessly: "Simon is too domineering!"

"No way, Simon doesn't like RB people very much. He always likes to do things behind his back. He doesn't have a bit of chivalry. Now the only music companies in the six major film companies are Sony Records and Star Records. Star Records is ready to enter the RB market. "Nina Jacobson is very casual, like Warner Music, Universal Music is other capital, has nothing to do with Warner Bros., Universal Pictures.

"Just for this trivial matter, does Simon want to use his power as the king of Hollywood?" Amy Pascal was indeed a little dissatisfied, but Xinghai Entertainment will go public this year, and Simon Pike's ascension to Hollywood is irreversible.

But Samsung Columbia is also one of the six major film companies in the world. Simon can use a word, isn't it too shameless.

Nina Jacobson shrugged and smiled: "Simon is only 29 years old and has achieved such great results, some things are unclear."

Amy Pascal nodded, indicating that the matter was known.

Nina Jacobson watched Amy Pascal leave, then checked her watch, it was midnight by Simon's side.

However, she believed that Sony would make the right choice and would not offend Simon for such a trivial matter, which would outweigh the gains.

Los Angeles, Carver City, Sony Pictures Entertainment headquarters, Amy Pascal and John Carley are discussing.

John Culley has been with Sony Entertainment for many years, and Amy Pascal was the president of Columbia Pictures when he joined Sony, and only a few years later was promoted to the *** of Sony Pictures.

"Forget it, at this time, don't make Simon unhappy. It's just a movie. Sony has suffered serious losses in recent years. Howard Stringer will be resigning soon. It is difficult to say whether Hirai can lead Sony out of the predicament," John said. ·Cali has a lot to see. Now that Sony's market value has fallen below 20 billion US dollars, how can it still compete with other people's Xinghai Entertainment.

"I see, I will order," Amy Pascal was a little weak, after all, film companies are only part of various media groups now.

Sony's consumer electronics market is weak and its business is cluttered, and Columbia Pictures' film business development is also mediocre, providing little help.

"In the past, Columbia Pictures had cooperated with Xinghai Pictures. Unexpectedly, now Sony has to look up to Xinghai Entertainment," John Carley also sighed.

"In terms of Spider-Man's movie adaptation rights, Marvel has never given up recycling, Xinghai Entertainment must be angry, and the box office of "The Avengers" is really too powerful."

"Spider-Man is now the ace IP in our hands, and it must not be returned to Xinghai. Our restart of "The Amazing Spider-Man" is currently in post-production, and it will be able to take a share of the market next year. "No matter what, Sony has Spider-Man, the ace hero of Marvel Entertainment, is a big capital.

Amy Pascal is now also the CEO of Columbia Pictures, the head of one of the six major film companies. Still in the top ranks in Hollywood, there is no shortage of vision.

"Universal, can't shake it, let alone the Marvel series can provide them with cash milk, other series IP is also enviable," John Carley felt a sense of powerlessness, what about Sony? "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Men in Black 3" are too lacking in the development of the series.

"The Avengers" has surpassed $1.6 billion at the global box office, heading towards "Titanic", the second-highest box office in film history.

Totally unstoppable!

Sony Entertainment doesn't have a lot of cards, and there are still two 007 series distribution rights. Of course, the "007: Skyfall Crisis" currently being filmed is also very much looking forward to.

As for Amy Pascal's boycott of a Chinese movie "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", of course, Sony Columbia's size can be suppressed casually.

However, with Xinghai Entertainment's reminder now, of course I gave up, at least I can't offend Simon Pike. Does he, Simon Pike, pay attention to this movie, or does not know this Chinese movie is not important.

Importantly, he said that he didn't want to see the film being suppressed by Sony in North America, so Sony couldn't suppress it.

Even if it is suppressed, the RB consortium can only be operated by other forces, and it cannot have an obvious relationship with Sony. However, since it was Nina Jacobson who handled it, then it's best for Sony to just ignore it. It's going to be disgusting for Simon Pike. Sony can't stand his suppression.

"John, MPAA and China have also made progress in the negotiation of the film import agreement. If the RB people continue to toss like this, it will make our market resistance in China even greater." Amy Pascal is a typical Jewish businessman. Caring, only caring about interests.

"I know, and I also know the importance of the Chinese market. I will bring it up during the sensible meeting," John Carley responded.

In the Chinese market, Universal has really taken the lead this time.
