The original time and space Mel Gibson was boycotted by the entire Hollywood after the anti-Semitic remarks incident. In fact, he was not completely killed. The accumulation of resources and connections is no worse than Dustin Hoffman of Mel Gibson at his peak. It is also impossible for Simon to completely block it.

Terry Semel and Peter Cooper came forward in person, and Simon was relieved.

Inside the Madonna's mansion, seeing Simon holding Janet to the dance floor, Terry Semel and Peter Cooper achieved their goal, and they didn't want to stay at the party any longer, and walked out together.

Coming to the front yard, Peter Cooper said in a relaxed tone: "I thought this would be a little troublesome. It seems that Westeros still knows that it needs to be done in moderation."

Terry Semel noticed the smile on Peter Cooper's face, but thought otherwise.

If that young man was really so talkative, Meg Ryan wouldn't be where he is now.

After the "Rocketman" at the end of last year, Meg Ryan has not been able to get another film contract in Hollywood. Recently, I heard that she went to the UK and wanted to re-establish her career there. Terry Semel is not optimistic about the actress's move at all. Even a small British film company is trying their best to break into Hollywood. How could it be so easy to provoke Dan who is in the limelight because of Meg Ryan? Nellys Entertainment.

As for the matter at the moment, everyone knows that it is impossible to block a Hollywood actor with two Oscar statuettes. Westeros is just going with the flow. However, if Westeros is going to let Dustin Hoffman and others go like this, Semel, who has had many contacts with the young man, does not think so.

You know, after advancing to the front line with "When Harry Met Sally", Meg Ryan was unwilling to be constrained by Daenerys Entertainment's original contract and wanted to terminate the contract. Westeros was also very happy at first. The actress only asked the other party to pay a liquidated damages.

What happened next, the whole of Hollywood saw it.

Terry Semel even thought of "Captain Hawk" that Sony was planning to make. This project has been circulating in Hollywood for several years. It was not until recently that Sony made a high price and Spielberg and Robin Williams agreed Affiliate.

Daenerys Entertainment has been collecting various copyrights since the beginning of Westeros. If the project "Captain Hawk" has enough box office potential, Daenerys Entertainment has no reason to let it go.

The truth is, Daenerys Entertainment has never shown any interest in Captain Hawk.

Although the magic of "The Ghostly Love" that opened last week no longer seems to let many people in Hollywood see a 'dawn' that Daenerys Entertainment will also miss, however, it is only a "Fengyue" on Valentine's Day in February. Pretty Woman" is enough to prove that Westeros's vision for movies has not faded at all.

As of last week, the total North American box office of "Pretty Woman" has reached 161 million US dollars.

Not only that, the box office performance of "Pretty Woman" in overseas markets is even better than that in North America.

Although many overseas ticket warehouse countries have not yet allowed "Pretty Woman" to be released due to the protection of their own summer vacations, they are only released in countries and regions such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and Australia. Easily topped $130 million.

When important ticket warehouses in Japan, France, and Spain open, the global box office of "Pretty Woman" is expected to hit $500 million.

With a production cost of 10 million US dollars and a global box office of 500 million US dollars, any major Hollywood film company, even if there is only such a successful film in a year, is basically enough to support the annual performance.

Those who gloat over the misfortune because the box office and word-of-mouth of "The Ghost Story" are only average can only be regarded as self-comfort.

Since Westeros still maintains his excellent vision in movies, young people are indifferent to "Captain Hawk", and Terry Semel does not think this project is a good choice for Sony.

What's more, Sony has been a little too generous this time around.

It's just that Spielberg and Robin Williams, in addition to the fixed salary, Sony also promised them 20% and 10% of the project's net profit, respectively. Dustin Hoffman joined, at least another. Go 10%.

The film has not yet started shooting, and 40% of the profit has been promised. Considering that the film cannot be lower than the production cost of 50 million US dollars, Terry Semel feels that even if Sony will not lose money this time, don’t even think about it. Earning something 'screaming' is more likely to be a disgraced take advantage of.

This swindler happened to be brought in by Peter Cooper next to him.

Terry Semel and Peter Cooper got into their own cars. Before leaving, Semel couldn't help but glance at the luxury Rolls-Royce that Peter Cooper had just replaced.

In the more than half a year in charge of Columbia, the extravagance and extravagance of the two directors, Peter Cooper and Jon Peters, made other Hollywood studio heads envious.

The two not only arranged a large number of crony cronies to the company, but also had no scruples about spending Sony's money. It is said that in recent weeks, John Peters has been taking Colombia's special plane to and from Europe and Los Angeles every week, just to date his new girlfriend. All reimbursed by Colombia.

If it's another studio, definitely do that

is not going to work.

However, it is Peter Cooper's ex-wife who is in charge of Columbia Pictures' finances.

Many Hollywood natives are watching the excitement of Sony, wondering how much the Japanese electronics industry giant will eventually pay for 'tuition' and how long it will last before leaving Hollywood voluntarily.

Simon knew the number.

$2.1 billion!

In the original time and space, this is the number of asset write-down losses announced by Sony in the year after Peter Cooper and Jon Peters left Colombia. Because of this shocking huge loss, Sony founder Akio Morita had to step down and completely withdrew from Sony's management.

On the dance floor, Simon recalled these 'pasts', and Janet, who was holding his neck, leaned over and whispered, "Are you really going to let those guys go?"

Because Janet was too close to her ear, Simon turned his head slightly subconsciously.

Janet was shaken by Simon when she shook her wrist, and Simon now has a psychological shadow on Janet biting her ear.

Noticing Simon's dodging, Janet deliberately leaned closer, bit her teeth a few times in the man's ear, and made a slight ding.

Simon turned his head and kissed Janet's face, took the opportunity to keep the woman's teeth away from his ears, hugged her waist and said, "I've never been a person who is good at forgiving, but some things can't be done overnight, and can only be temporarily remembered in my heart. "

Janet nodded her head and teased softly: "Really vengeful."

Simon just smiled.

After a dance, the two spent some more time at the party before leaving Madonna's mansion.

Back to the villa on the west side of Dumei Cape, the time is ten o'clock in the evening.

Janet has never been a person who likes to stay up late. She took Simon to take a shower and fell asleep quickly.

The next day is Sunday.

It's already summer, and there is a golden light shining in the bedroom near the sea early.

Simon got up at six o'clock, took off the woman's arms gently, washed and changed into a set of sports clothes and went to the gym.

At seven o'clock, I went to the bedroom again, changed my clothes, and called Janet to get up by the way.

Sending the stupefied woman to the bathtub with warm water, Simon came to the restaurant.

With the four girls of abcd, Simon does not need to busy himself with breakfast now.

C-girl Claire, who was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, saw Simon appear and took the initiative to hand over today's newspaper.

Simon said good morning, and glanced at the slim girl beside him without concealment.

White shirt and black trousers, this is the work attire of the four girls.

Simon didn't have a bad taste in letting the four girls wear maid outfits, feeling like that would make him look like an old English landowner. In this way, the ol style dress is just right. The four women are all about 175cm in height, with slender and slender figures. Coupled with the uniform dress, it fully conforms to Simon's uniform obsessive-compulsive disorder aesthetic.

With Simon's current status, it is difficult to have a strong desire for women because it is too easy to get.

With such four exquisite vases by their side, most people will have all kinds of ambiguous associations, but for Simon, in addition to letting them take care of some daily life, it is just for pleasing the eyes.

Claire Gein, who was called 'c' by Simon, noticed his gaze, moved slightly towards the man, and said softly, "Boss, maybe you should check out the entertainment page of today's Los Angeles Times."

Simon was stunned for a moment, he nodded quickly, and smiled: "Okay."

As he spoke, he opened the newspaper in front of him and found the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times.

A slender white finger reached over and clicked somewhere, Simon looked over, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Another big business, Michael Ovitz may be leading Panasonic to buy mca".

In my memory, the news of Panasonic's acquisition of mca was officially announced after August, and it has been in a state of secret contact until now.

What's going on now, is Panasonic going to start it early?

Thinking like this, Simon began to read the text, and then he was a little bit dumbfounded.

It turned out that the news was purely an accident.

In order to avoid some of the media turmoil caused by Sony's acquisition of Colombia last time, the acquisition led by Michael Ovitz was indeed very secretive.

It's just that people are not as good as God.

Just the previous Friday, Michael Ovitz led the team back to Los Angeles from Tokyo, and unexpectedly met Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen and his party. Charlie Sheen is not a star of CAA, and naturally he has no obligation to keep it secret. Then, this incident leaked out and became clear evidence that Ovitz is operating Panasonic to acquire mca, which has been speculated by the media.

Although Daenerys Entertainment has not yet started contact with mca, private preparations for this acquisition have not stopped.

Simon plans to enter the game after the outbreak of the war in the second half of the year and the news of Panasonic's official public acquisition of mca. Now, if Panasonic had to make an early takeover bid because of this leak, things could be tricky.

After a small crash in North American stock markets last year, mca's share price in the first half of the year has slowly recovered to above $45, with a market value of between $4.5 billion and $5 billion.

Now that the shot is made, and the two are competing, it is difficult to grab mca without $8 billion.

In memory, Panasonic acquired mca for $6.6 billion, followed by

A few years ago, Universal Pictures also produced super hit works such as "Jurassic Park". However, Panasonic had to lower the price and sell it later. It can be seen that mca is not worth such a high price.

Therefore, let alone $8 billion, as long as the price exceeds $7 billion, Simon would rather withdraw than be taken advantage of.

$7 billion is the price cap Simon has set for the planned acquisition.

Simon was thinking about how to deal with the change in front of him. Janet, who was wearing a long aqua blue dress, walked into the restaurant in high spirits, leaned over and put her arms around Simon's neck and kissed him. Claire, who was next to Simon, asked Simon, "What's the matter?"

Claire noticed Janet's seemingly unintentional eyes, she dodged her eyes guiltily, and walked silently towards the kitchen.

Simon didn't notice the small eyes of the woman beside him just now, showed her the newspaper in his hand, and said, "Panasonic may have to announce the acquisition of mca in advance."

Janet swept the press release at a glance, with some gloating on her face, and said, "Panasonic should not be ready either. It won't do them any good to initiate an acquisition offer in advance. It will only push the stock price of mca soaring. I guess whether it is Either caa or Panasonic will publicly deny the report."

Simon nodded, this possibility is also very high.

Thinking of another thing, Simon said to Janet again: "Cersei Capital, don't touch mca's stock this time."

With this news, Wall Street arbitrage capital will definitely start to enter the market to absorb mca stocks, and Cersei Capital is also involved in short-term arbitrage trading. If you start buying now, you will likely be investigated by SEC for insider trading.

"I know."

Janet agreed, and Claire and Deborah brought breakfast.

I was planning to rest at home for a day, but suddenly something like this happened. Both Amy and James called, and Simon rushed to the studio after breakfast.

Sending the man out of the house, Janet returns to the villa.

Alison and Betsy, who were near the house, came later, and the four girls abcd gathered together.

Janet instructed the four girls to clean the villa, checked the kitchen and each bedroom and bathroom, made a list of some daily necessities that need to be purchased in the new week, and sent the two girls ab to go out shopping.

After arranging these, I made several calls in a row to discuss some trivial matters about the properties of the Westeros family. The mansion on Mercer Island in Seattle needs to buy a speedboat. Is the newly purchased manor in Rome, Italy ready? The latest alarm system and the like.

These are things that Janet started doing when she was Janet Johnston, and is now Janet Westeros, more justifiably.

I really enjoyed the feeling of being a hostess.

Moreover, because she can always hand over most of the things to others, the seemingly cumbersome and trivial housework, Janet is always able to handle it with ease, and her little brain also habitually maintains a seven-point operation, laziness and lightness. Leisurely and never let yourself get tired.

So busy until noon, and before Simon comes home for lunch, he can curl up on the living room sofa and look through the information on Cersei Capital.

Apollo Management's Leon Black team will bid next week for a $1.5 billion bond asset under the name of Columbia Savings and Credit Bank. One hundred million U.S. dollars.

At $500 million, which is already half of the previous $1 billion fund raised by Apollo Management, it is natural to be very cautious.

The US$1.5 billion bond assets are actually the valuation after the U.S. bond market continued to collapse and shrink for more than half a year. The book value of these bonds is close to US$3.5 billion.

If this business can be successful, the $500 million invested by Apollo Management will be more than doubled when the bond is repaid within the next three years, with an average annual rate of return of more than 30%, which is very important for any private equity fund All in all, very impressive returns.

In addition to this, there are other investment projects under consideration.

For example, the acquisition of a mattress production company called Simmons. Simon seems to be very interested in this company, and Janet is even more attentive.
