Hollywood Hunter

Los Angeles, inside a mansion in Brentwood Heights, north of Santa Monica.

During breakfast, the restaurant was chattering and seemed quite lively.

Mainly a group of girls such as the Hilton sisters, the Kardashian sisters, Elizabeth Jagger, and Ivanka. Counting the girls who are clearly divided into four groups, either their girlfriends or followers, the main restaurant of the mansion is only used for banquets. There were more than 30 girls lined up on both sides of the meter-long dining table.

It's October 20th.

Friday.

The four major fashion weeks this fall have finally come to an end. Elizabeth Jagger, who has been busy for more than a month, returned from Europe. After some discussion, the little sisters decided to come to Los Angeles for the weekend and take a good rest.

In fact, of course they are all excuses.

Although most girls are under the age of 18, due to various reasons, the parents basically don't have any expectations for the studies of this group of girls, and it doesn't matter if they fail to get in. So, as long as the things that should be done are done, such as recording the wife series, or the catwalk work, everything else is optional.

Moreover, the girls came to Los Angeles, and the parents actually liked it to a certain extent, because, you can get closer to a super tycoon more, and people need to walk more to get closer. This is the axiom of the world.

The present mansion in Brentwood Hills belongs to Simon.

The girls' families all own properties in Los Angeles. However, in order to get together and have fun, or to facilitate bickering, after greetings, not only a private jet is arranged here, but also the current residence, the most golden hilltop location in the rich area of ​​Brentwood , are more luxurious than their respective mansions in Los Angeles.

If you live here, you don't want to leave.

At least, when her mother was pregnant, Elizabeth, who gained some legitimacy, wondered if she could occupy this mansion for a long time. After all, obviously, a certain man couldn't live here, and it must be vacant on weekdays. .

Inside the restaurant.

The topic at this point is about today's Los Angeles Times.

Girls don't have a good habit of reading newspapers, but today is special because the "Los Angeles Times" focused on the 2000 fiscal year financial report that Daenerys Entertainment Group announced yesterday.

In the past fiscal year from October 1999 to September 2000, Daenerys Entertainment's annual revenue was finally US$59.1 billion, with a revenue growth rate of 13.1%.

Compared with profit, revenue growth is a number that the industry pays more attention to.

When Daenerys Entertainment's annual revenue was close to 50 billion US dollars, the industry generally expected that the subsequent annual growth rate of this super media giant would shrink to within 10%, or even lower. After all, the size is there. Just like a country has developed to a certain level, it is impossible for gdp to make great strides forward every year.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Daenerys Entertainment Group's annual revenue growth rate has remained strong at 10 billion dollars in fiscal year 1998 for three consecutive fiscal years. %, and this year surpassed last year's 11.6%, reaching a high of 13.1% again.

You know, before this, the industry generally predicted that Daenerys Entertainment's revenue growth this year would only be around 12% in the best case.

On the other hand, Daenerys Entertainment's full-year net profit also reached a new high, reaching 10.6 billion US dollars, with a net profit margin of 17.2%.

This is also a bright spot in this year's financial report.

An equally important highlight.

Because, breaking through the net profit scale of tens of billions of dollars, Daenerys is the only company in the entire federation that has released annual financial reports for at least the past four quarters, the only company with an annual profit of more than ten billion dollars.

Others, according to the latest full-year financial report data, there are only two companies that are relatively close to Daenerys Entertainment, Citigroup, with a net profit of US$9.8 billion for the year, and General Electric, with a net profit of US$9.2 billion for the year, and then , and the profit scale is all within 9 billion US dollars.

In short, just relying on this financial report data, Daenerys Entertainment Group deserves to be the leading stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

In addition to the overall financial figures, while maintaining considerable growth in all aspects of business, Daenerys Entertainment once again focused on the development of its own game business.

In the past fiscal year, Daenerys Entertainment's annual game revenue, including stand-alone games, online games and other types, reached a total revenue of 11.9 billion US dollars, which was also the first time to break through the 10 billion US dollar mark. Moreover, The annual revenue growth rate far exceeded Daenerys' average growth rate, reaching 26.5%, and contributed a net profit of $2.73 billion to Daenerys Entertainment, with a net profit margin of 22.9%.

Growth, which has always been the most valued feature of the federal stock market.

When all parties thought a few years ago that Daenerys Entertainment, which had grown into a super giant in the industry, would fall into the dilemma of performance growth ceiling, maintaining an excellent growth rate of more than 10% for three consecutive years was inevitable for Daenerys. The lofty stock price once again injected a shot in the arm.

Just yesterday, Daenerys Entertainment announced its financial report at 9:00 a.m. East Coast time. On Thursday trading day, the company’s stock price rose by 1.7% in a single day, successfully breaking through the 900 billion US dollars that had been fluctuating before but could not enter. Threshold, the closing market value reached 907.2 billion US dollars.

At the same time that Daenerys is one step closer to another giant with a market value of one trillion yuan, Daenerys also achieved another overtake of Tinkerbell, which had previously squeezed it to the third place in the US stock market value.

Prior to this, with the release of a series of

The outstanding performance of the new products, especially the outstanding market performance of the ipad-40 after the autumn conference, Tinkber has been catching up all the way, not only quickly achieved neck-and-neck with Daenerys, but also achieved a slight overtake.

Just yesterday on Thursday's trading day, Tinkobel's stock price rose slightly by 0.6%, also breaking through the $900 billion mark, becoming the third super giant in the US stock market with a market value of more than $900 billion.

However, the company's closing market value was fixed at 903.3 billion US dollars, from the market value of nearly 6 billion US dollars higher than Daenerys at the close of the previous day, to a gap of nearly 4 billion US dollars behind Daenerys.

In any case, behind the stalemate, the beneficiaries are the Westeros system.

Simon has already confirmed that he will drop the "Enron Bomb" in December. Before that, whether his company can break into the trillion-dollar market value club is not too important. However, judging from the current situation, it is obviously very hopeful that at least one more quota will be added.

Although Simon still doesn't care, there are obviously many people who are paying attention to this matter, and some gaming companies have even opened a bet on it.

A group of girls in the restaurant of the mansion basically couldn't understand the more essence behind the financial report. They seemed to be as enthusiastic as many people about whether Daenerys could break through the trillion market value.

Even if there are some small thoughts of my own in my heart, I agree with the caliber of this matter. Even when I found out that the "Los Angeles Times" article mentioned that a gaming company opened because of this, I had some thoughts and called the waitress here , Everyone chattered again, and simply pooled more than half a million dollars, all betting that Daenerys could break through a trillion market value.

If you lose, you lose.

Just pocket money.

After all, people are divided into groups, even if the girls in this group can only play the role of attendants, they are not girls from ordinary families.

After such a messy breakfast, and another hush of preparations, the girls set off and rushed to Daenerys Studios in Malibu together in several limousines.

This is the schedule for today.

I have inquired in advance that a certain man has been in Los Angeles recently. Therefore, if you rush to Daenerys Studios, you may be able to meet it.

Even if you don't meet it, there are actually many interesting places to go to the busiest film and television city in Hollywood.

For example, Kim Kardashian has a goal to visit the live shooting of a sci-fi drama "Three-Body Problem" that HBO is producing, which is said to be very important to Simon.

This is mainly because Angela Winston, the heroine of "Three-Body Problem", who played the role of a girl, was recruited by Kim Kardashian before and pushed to a certain man named Alexandra Winston. Daddario's girl gets it.

Alexandra is 14 years old this year, and her more watery appearance makes the Kardashian sisters inevitably jealous.

Of course, jealousy is just jealousy.

After all... They also have their own unique 'competitiveness', not to mention, there are quite a few beautiful girls like Daddario around men.

One more, naturally not many.

Anyway, since their mother quietly ordered them to find more beautiful girls and introduce them to a certain man, thinking that it would be good for themselves, they followed suit.

Now, since D'Addario was able to get such an important role as the heroine's girlhood in an important TV series like "Three-Body Problem", it can be seen that a certain man should have paid attention to that girl. So, their recommendation at the beginning is also credited, isn't it?

Also after greeting in advance, a large group of girls arrived at Daenerys Studios and came to the parking lot of the administrative area on the third floor of the studio. There was already a female assistant from Simon's assistant office waiting here.

He drove the car directly here, of course he wanted to chat with a certain man first.

It's a pity that the tall and sweet blond female assistant said that someone is very busy and has no time for now.

It can only temporarily dispel the idea.

After a discussion with some disputes, Elizabeth and Ivanka decided to visit Daenerys's special effects first, and Hilton and Kardashian reached an agreement to take their friends to see "Three-Body Problem" shooting.

Even in the film and television city where people come and go, it is inevitable that a large group of conspicuous girls will be divided into two groups. The female assistant had to call another colleague, and each took the two groups to their destinations.

In a special effects studio on the first floor of the film and television city.

This is the shooting scene of "The Three-Body Problem". The related scene is about the heroine Angela Winston's experience of World War II as a girl. The specific scene is that the city of London was bombed by the German army.

In the new story setting, Angela lost her parents in this bombing, and suffered a huge shock to her heart, which laid the groundwork for the later sending of messages to the Trisolarans.

Even if Daenerys gave "The Three-Body Problem" enough budget, it is obviously impossible to set up a similar war scene, but to take the form of green screen shooting in the studio.

Even as Hilton and the others, it is easy to see similar scenes. Entering the studio, watching the performance of D’Addario and the actors who played Angela’s parents in the ruins of a simple house in the middle under the green screen, standing on the periphery A group of girls still watched with gusto, and before they knew it, more than half an hour had passed.

It was nearly eleven o'clock, and after another set of shots, Alexandra Daddario, dressed in the English girlish clothes of the early century, finally found some time to come over and say hello to a group of girls.

Even if the clothes have been tattered according to the needs of the image, the whole body is

It is dust, and Alexandra Daddario, who has begun to fall, can still be seen at a glance as a great beauty.

At least, Paris is a little sour, and it is inevitable to make a few jokes.

Paris teased, and Kim Kardashian was tit-for-tat, acting very close.

After all, they are very common plastic sisters.

Seeing Jin chatting with Daddario, Paris curled her lips, took a few sips from a bottle of water from a small attendant, and stuffed it back casually. Just as she was about to say something, she noticed another set of shots in the field It has already started. Looking at the past, I realized that Daddario's position has just been replaced by another actress.

After a simple argument, Paris was a little surprised, and pulled her sister Nikki: "Look, that is Jennifer Connelly, right?"

Nikki also noticed the changes in the cabin and nodded upon hearing this.

The other girls looked over together.

Alexandra took the initiative to explain: "Miss Connery played the role of my youth, this part of the scene is the kind of memory scene, probably similar, the blink of an eye, the camera changes, and the character grows up."

After the girl finished speaking, everyone watched for a while, and Paris finally said: "I remember, um, Jennifer Connelly was pretty before, just like Brooke Shields at that time, but now, it seems... at least not It was as amazing as it used to be.”

Alexandra also nodded, but said: "However, it's much better now. My agent told me that if you want to be famous in Hollywood, being too beautiful is not an advantage, just like Brooke Shields , she has never been too hot."

"In this way..." Paris looked at Daddario: "You are so beautiful, it is not easy to become a big star."

Alexandra could feel Paris' sourness, she just smiled and didn't answer the question.

If there is nothing to rely on, Daddario may be worried after hearing what Paris said after knowing Hollywood, but it is different now.

For example, there is a little secret that Alexandra does not intend to tell the girls left and right.

This morning, in fact, she came to the film studio very early, and was called to meet the big man, anyway...someone is very satisfied with her body development.

He also gave her a Chinese name.

Said it was called... Ha Mei.

I don't know what it means, but I can see that the other party is quite interested. In any case, if such a big man could name her, the girls around her could only envy her if she said it.
