Burbank.

A screening room at Warner Bros. Studios.

Until the end of the credits, everyone in the screening room was still immersed in the shocking visual journey of just over two hours.

This was the first internal preview of the first film in the Batman series officially named "Batman: Hour of War". All high-level executives from Warner Bros. Pictures and Daenerys Entertainment attended, including Shi Tiff Ross also took time to fly over from the East Coast.

After the unexpected end credits, the lights came on, and Steve Ross, who was sitting side by side with Simon, was the first to applaud.

Under the bright light, everyone with expressions of admiration, aftertaste, surprise, shock, etc. on their faces reacted and responded one after another. Not a single one of them was posturing to please Simon. The more people who know the movie deeply, the more they can understand the breakthrough created by the superhero movie they just watched. Many amazing details in the movie have never appeared in previous Hollywood movies.

It can be said that the last time that shocked everyone was probably only the "Star Wars" of George Lucas.

Everyone couldn't help but have an idea at this time, Simon Westero's "Batman" will definitely become the object of reference and imitation of Hollywood action movies for many years to come.

In addition to a series of stunning technical details, the plot of the film is also coherent.

Simon's final cut was 138 minutes long.

Before watching the movie, there were people who thought that such a duration needed to be further compressed, but now, no one has this idea anymore.

From the initial wedge of the film, the compact plot of the entire film has always firmly controlled the audience's eyeballs. When the subtitles are raised, most people's first feeling is just unfinished. The Easter egg at the end of the subtitles also just rightly evoked the audience's desire for a sequel.

When the applause stopped, Steve Ross said to Simon: "I think the sequel can start now."

Simon said: "Actually, the sequel has been planned since the first project was established."

Steve Ross remembered the last Easter egg in the film and laughed: "I can't wait to see the second part."

After chatting like this, the staff showed everyone the theme posters of several films. After a brief discussion, everyone left the screening room.

The time is approaching noon.

In the afternoon, the release meeting of the two companies' distribution teams for "Batman" was held. Simon had other things and did not plan to attend in person. After explaining to Robert Rem, who was in charge of the matter, he walked side by side with Steve Ross to the parking lot of the studio.

Because it was a working day, passers-by on both sides of the road nodded to the two bosses from time to time.

After casually dealing with the greetings of the people around him and chatting a few words, Steve Ross said again: "Speaking of which, Simon, I would like to congratulate you on becoming the richest man in the Federation."

On Saturday, the day of Forbes magazine's launch, Steve Ross called.

Simon just nodded and said, "Thank you."

Steve Ross asked, "So, what are you going to do next?"

"Next, I want to take a year off, let go of company affairs, be a bystander as much as possible, sort out some things, and learn some things."

Steve Ross was stunned for a moment, he actually wanted to lead the topic to another place, and after hearing what Simon said, he quickly agreed: "That's good, Simon, you've achieved what most people have in their lives. Unattainable goals should indeed stop and think carefully.”

Simon smiled bitterly and said, "However, this matter is easy to say. If you really want to stop, it is not so easy."

Not to mention, it's just the 10-film project that started some time ago, and Simon must spend a lot of time at the helm. What's more, there are many other things in the plan that need to be implemented in the next year.

When Janet heard Simon say he was going to take a long vacation, he said that he probably didn't want to let go, and it really happened.

Steve Ross laughed when he heard the words, nodded sympathetically, and said, "You are still young, you still have the opportunity to let go. Moreover, if you want to continue to expand your business territory, you must learn to let go, alone. After all, it is impossible to take into account everything.”

Simon nodded earnestly and asked again, "Where are you?"

Steve Ross knew what Simon was asking, saying: "Paramount's attempt to prove that Time Inc. changed its takeover bid for Warner Bros. to resist their bid was also overruled by a judge unless they could produce new evidence. Otherwise the case will be closed by the end of the month.”

Paramount Communications, Time Inc. and Warner Bros. three lawsuits, Paramount's original reason was to safeguard the interests of shareholders, and provided some documents to prove that Time Inc. was the acquirer in the merger between Time and Warner. Once the accusation With the support of the Delaware court, Paramount was able to bid for Time Inc.

Unfortunately, the allegation was rejected due to insufficient evidence.

Recently, Paramount has presented new evidence that Time Inc. and Warner Bros. adjusted their acquisition plans in order to resist Paramount's offer.

This is actually a fact that everyone can see, but in court, Paramount is destined to have a hard time proving it. After all, Time Inc. and Warner Bros. executives, who are consistent with the outside world, are unlikely to admit that the change in acquisition strategy was in order to resist Paramount's offer.

The parties do not admit

It is unlikely that there will be substantive documents pointing to this, and as long as Time Inc. and Warner Bros. come up with some high-sounding excuses to refute, Paramount is doomed to fail.

The two came to the parking lot and rushed to a restaurant near Warners Studios for lunch.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, when the lunch was over, Simon and Steve Ross had just walked out of the restaurant, when the flashing lights came on not far away.

These days, the media's discussion about Simon becoming the richest man in the federation seems to be in full swing, and there is a 'psychic learning class' fraud case that makes people laugh and laugh. Although Simon's rhythm of life is step by step, there are many paparazzi around him. Follow the daily routine of the newly-appointed federal richest man.

"Simon, think about it seriously, as long as Warner is involved in the field, we have the possibility of cooperation."

"I will, Steve."

The two said their goodbyes, and after Simon got into the car, he couldn't help but consider the invitation for deeper cooperation that Steve Ross made at lunch.

Speaking of which, not only DC, but many assets in Warner's hands are very interesting to Simon, such as Warner's cable TV operating system, and HBO, which is still in the hands of Time Inc.

The future of Hollywood is the world of a comprehensive media group. If Daenerys Entertainment does not have its own TV network, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the media field in the future. Therefore, Simon has been thinking about getting involved in the TV field.

However, Warner is not the best partner for the time being.

In the afternoon, he was about to audition for the leading role in "Sleeping with the Enemy." Simon drove to Fox Studios in Century City, Beverly Hills, when his cell phone rang.

Jennifer called from Santa Monica and said that Christopher Skars, the chairman of the Australian Qintex Group, contacted him and hoped to invite Simon to dinner.

Simon also heard about the Australian company that was trying to acquire MGM these days. He didn't have much relevant information in his memory. He mentioned it on the phone with Janet, and the woman told him to ignore it the next day. Also sent some information.

Qintex Group is a comprehensive equity investment company headquartered in Brisbane, Australia. It is somewhat similar to the Westeros Company. It is involved in media, hotel, retail, tourism and other businesses.

However, according to the information from Janet, Qintex Group has expanded too rapidly in recent years, and its debt ratio has reached a very dangerous level. As long as it encounters a little situation, it may go bankrupt, and it will not be able to pay 1 billion US dollars. to acquire MGM.

Christopher Skars, chairman of Qintex, had nothing more than to pull some unidentified capital to form a partnership, and wanted to be a white wolf with empty gloves. Janet also relayed her father's assessment of Christopher Skars over the phone, a man who is likely to go to jail in the next few years for not being able to pay the loan and using too many illegal tactics.

Instructed Jennifer on the phone to refuse the invitation of the other party. Simon got off the car in the parking lot of Fox Studios and was about to rush to the administration building when a female voice came from behind: "Simon."

Turning his head to look, the first thing that caught Simon's attention was the four long legs that were tangled in white jeans.

These are two women, one is Jerry Hall who greeted Simon at the last Columbia Pictures party, and the other Simon also knows, named Ella McPherson, the most well-known superhero in North America in recent years One of the supermodels also has the nickname 'the body', which shows the woman's devilish figure.

The two women quickly approached, probably noticing Simon's eyes just now, with smiles on their faces.

Simon didn't hide it, stretched out his hand to Jerry Hall, and said, "You two should stop running around. If you walk on the street like this, many people will definitely hit the lamppost."

"You are so domineering, Simon, you won't let us take to the streets if you're worried about hitting a pillar," Jerry Hall shook hands with Simon with a smile, and said, "This is Ella McPherson."

"Hello, Miss Macpherson."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Westeros, nice to meet you."

Ella Macpherson responded somewhat restrainedly, looking curiously at the man in front of her.

Simon and Ella Macpherson shook hands, turned their heads and asked Jerry Hall, "Why are you here?"

Jerry Hall said: "I came to audition for a small role, and I happened to meet Ella to audition."

"ended?"

"Yeah, I'm planning to go shopping together to see if a man will bump into a pillar."

"Maybe even women can."

"Huh," Jerry Hall asked with a smile, "what about you, Simon?"

"Same, audition."

"Then you must be auditioning someone else."

"You are already so beautiful and so smart, I won't praise you any more."

"I really don't want it. If I get praised by Westeros again, I'm probably going to faint."

After joking, Simon raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "Then, let's talk when you have time."

Jerry Hall hesitated and said, "Simon, when are you done?"

"There are too many things to do, I probably can't finish without sleeping."

"If that's the case, why don't we have a coffee together later?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. There are too many paparazzi around recently, and it's not good to be photographed."

"It's just coffee, not a date."

"It's a pity the paparazzi don't think so."

Jerry Hall is not too entangled, it is just regret to hear the words

Nod.

Simon was about to leave when Ella Macpherson, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "Mr. Westeros, can we go over and see how you auditioned?"

Simon paused, took a look at Ella McPherson, and said: "Otherwise, there will be a party over at Coldwater Canyon on Saturday night, hosted by wma president Jonathan Friedman, you can come over. By the way, Have you signed an actor contract?"

"Signed recently, happened to be in wma."

Simon guessed that Jonathan should be imitating icm's strategy of expanding its business to the fashion industry, and nodded: "This is just right. If you are free, I will call Jonathan to prepare two invitations for you."

"Then it's settled," Ella Macpherson agreed, and quickly took out a business card from the satchel and handed it over, "Mr. Westeros, this is my contact information."

Simon took the business card handed over by the woman and put it away, finally nodded to the two women to say goodbye, and walked towards the administration building.

The four major fashion weeks in autumn have already started. This year's Milan Fashion Week opened on September 22. Gucci's 1990 spring and summer fashion show is scheduled for September 23. Simon and Janet will probably rush to Europe on September 20. , while starting Simon's vacation.

Today is September 13th, Wednesday, and there is still a week before departure.

It was originally planned to start resting after the completion of "Batman", but it was difficult to do so.

"Pretty Woman with the Moon and the Moon" has been completed and has begun to enter the later stage. The filming of "The Ghostly Love" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" are both in the process of tense shooting, and it is impossible for Simon to ignore them completely. Gaomen Pictures' key project "Intersection of Life" next year also requires Simon to be distracted.

In addition, in the 10-film plan, it is confirmed that the four films "Sleeping with the Enemy", "The Hand Shaking the Cradle", "Ten Days of Dangerous Love" and "Pink League", which will be released next year, will require Simon to take the helm, and the upcoming As the North American bond market operates in October, Simon's so-called 'vacation' hardly lives up to its name.

And, that's on top of Simon letting go of Daenerys' entertainment TV business entirely.

Entering September, four blockbuster reality shows, "Who Will Be a Millionaire", "Survivor", "Big Brother" and "The Beverly Wife" produced by Daenerys Television have been released one after another, and there are six more TV series projects, the work all fell on Robert Iger.

Fortunately, the four reality shows have laid a good foundation last year, and Robert Iger won't screw up as long as he doesn't mess around.

Simon is still very at ease with Robert Iger.

As for the TV drama business, Simon can't take any energy to take care of it for the time being. Although he expects Robert Iger to bring some surprises to himself, he doesn't expect too much.

Simon continued to be busy amid the wave of public opinion about becoming the richest man in the Federation, looking forward to his trip to Europe in late September. However, the new week has just begun, and the dispute between Daenerys Entertainment and Whitney Houston's signing of the record company Alista Records has once again become the focus of media attention.
