Simon looked with interest at Barbara Bullocky, who was looking at her with her chin slightly raised and looking straight at her, who was going to fight for it. She didn't respond to what she just said, and suddenly smiled and said, "Barbara, did anyone say anything? You actually look like another person."

Barbara Bullocky was taken aback.

The Brockley family has been in control of 007 for 30 years. In recent years, his father, Albert Brockley, has been getting worse and worse. He is handing over the leadership of the ace spy series to their siblings, and often tells them Be sure to hold 007 firmly in your hand, and don't allow anyone to interfere.

Simon has been intervening in the next 007 project during this period of time, and insisted on replacing the current actor Timothy Dalton, which made Barbara Brockley, who also inherited her father's strong character, instinctively feel threatened. There will be a question that is almost provocative just now.

Unexpectedly, the young man who made her feel like an enemy in her bones turned the topic away lightly.

Simon didn't wait for the stunned Barbara Bullock to speak again, and said: "You must have seen "Alien et", I have to say, you and the little girl in the movie, um, Drew Barrymore , looks really similar. It seems that she should be a big girl now."

Barbara Bullocky has seen Steven Spielberg's "Alien et", of course, and of course remembers the little girl in the film.

only.

What does it mean?

"Simon, 'Alien et' is, well, a really good movie. We don't seem to be talking about that right now, though."

"I understand," Simon nodded, seeing MGM CEO Shirley Lansing hurriedly walking over, and when she approached, he said to Lansing, "Barbara said I shouldn't be involved in the 007 series, in this case, I Don't interfere, just do what you want."

Shirley Lansing's face was a little ugly.

Simon has asked about the 007 series several times during this time. She has always said that the project is going well. I didn't expect that the Brockley brothers and sisters would suddenly bring the casting differences that the two sides had not yet negotiated to Simon.

Now, Simon let go lightly, but Shirley Lansing didn't think it would end there.

Meg Ryan, who just became popular with "When Harry Met Sally" wanted to terminate the contract with Daenerys Entertainment, Westeros also easily agreed.

The results of it!

Seeing Simon finished speaking, she turned and walked towards John Peters, the president of Columbia Pictures, who was approaching. Shirley Lansing quickly followed, trying to explain that she didn't care how Westeros would arrange the 007 series afterward, even if it directly It doesn't matter if it is put on hold, but I don't want to affect myself.

Seeing that Simon had started chatting with Peters, Lansing could only stand by patiently.

During the chat, Lansing clearly noticed that Simon was very interested in Peters' young girlfriend.

Jon Peters is in his forties this year, but his little girlfriend is very young, looking in her early twenties. Probably of Latino descent, the girl's skin is not so white, although she has a charming face that attracts men, but it seems that she should not be the type that Westeros is interested in.

However, Shirley Lansing still remembered the girl's name.

Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Simon didn't expect to meet Hollywood's famous 'Old Man Killer' at the party tonight.

Catherine Zeta-Jones has a brilliant Hollywood career in memory. Not only Jon Peters, a Hollywood gold medal producer, Catherine Zeta-Jones also once caught up with big names such as Steven Spielberg and Sean Connery, and finally married 25 years older than her. Aged Michael Douglas.

It is never easy to get a high position in Hollywood. Even if you have a body, face, acting skills and are willing to sleep with others, it will not constitute much advantage at all. Too many people have to return to reality after wasting one game.

Therefore, the history of Catherine Zeta-Jones, who also has no background, can be regarded as a small 'legend'.

While chatting, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore also joined up.

The conversation was unknowingly turned by Jon Peters to a film project he was planning to invite the Willis and his wife to star in together.

"It's a thriller and suspense about a murder caused by domestic violence. It's called "Deadly Thoughts." The plot is similar to "Sleeping with the Enemy," but with murder elements added. It tells the story of a woman who helps her best friend kill her idle husband. We hope that Bruce and Demi will join together and start shooting early next year. However, Demi said that the schedule may conflict with MGM's "A Few Good Men"."

Jon Peters said, glanced at Shirley Lansing, and then turned to Simon.

Simon looked at Lansing again.

The project preparation of "A Few Good People" is much smoother than that of "Golden Eye of 007". The three main creators Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro and Demi Moore have all been confirmed to join, and the original script has also been revised. Filming will start in November, and the tentatively determined schedule is early August next year.

The end of the summer season allows "A Few Good People" to avoid the impact of blockbusters such as "Terminator 2" and "Batman: The Dark Knight".

Demi Moore was more of a man than Meg Ryan on the option contract with Daenerys Entertainment, and directly accepted Daenerys Entertainment's $2 million salary offer, and Simon also Happy to give each other some convenience.

Shirley Lansing Note

When Simon looked over, he nodded and said, "If necessary, we can try to arrange Demi's role in years ago."

Demi Moore suddenly said at this time: "Simon, why don't you take the time to read the script of "Fatal Thought"? If you can, I think Peter and Qiang definitely don't mind making it into Daenerys Entertainment and Columbia Pictures. industry collaboration films.”

After so many years, Demi Moore cherishes the popularity brought to her by "The Last Ghost", but she understands that it is only good for her to keep in touch with Westeros.

When Jon Peters heard Demi Moore say this, there was anticipation in his eyes.

Judging from the box office of the two films "Sleeping with the Enemy" and "The Hand Shaking the Cradle" that have been released this summer, if "Deadly Thought" can join Daenerys Entertainment's 10-film project, even if it has to be divided into half Earnings, the results are definitely a lot better than Columbia Pictures production alone.

Simon was not interested in participating in a film that he had never heard of, and simply refused.

After a few more chats, Jon Peters said goodbye and walked away.

However, when Catherine Zeta-Jones, who had been dutifully uninterrupted just after introducing herself, finally left, she obviously gave Simon a glare.

Simon noticed the girl's small movements, just smiled, and looked at Shirley Lansing who was still following him.

Knowing what Shirley Lansing was worried about, Simon said: "Sherry, I'm really too busy recently to take care of 007. Since the Bullockley family wants to maintain control, let them do another one. Well, anyway, the 007 series really haven't lost money. MGM has been tossed by Kerkorian for so many years, your next task is to restore MGM to normal operations as a major studio, wait patiently In the next year, I will make other arrangements."

Shirley Lansing was relieved, nodded seriously, and said, "Simon, I understand."

During this time, the news that Daenerys Entertainment was about to intervene in the acquisition of mca made Shirley Lansing realize the reason why Simon was reluctant to formally intervene in MGM when he had the opportunity.

It's just that Daenerys Entertainment, which has risen rapidly in recent years, has reached a level comparable to that of traditional big studios, and Daenerys Entertainment has now become a member of the American Film Institute. Once the Westeros system controls MGM in advance, and then wants to acquire mca, this is equivalent to the intention to control the three major Hollywood studios, and it will inevitably encounter obstacles in terms of antitrust.

On the contrary, after merging mca, and then intervening in MGM, which is relatively weak, it will be easier for all parties to accept, and things will be much simpler.

After sending Shirley Lansing away, Simon didn't move a step before someone stepped forward immediately.

...

"Terry, tonight is a celebration party, let's not talk about acquisitions... No matter what, the cooperation between Daenerys and Warner Bros. will not change."

...

"Good evening, Bob, is the post-production of Havana finished... Of course no problem, I happen to have time next week, you arrange to call me."

...

"You're so pretty tonight, Julia... Yes, I know about Captain Hawk, and Steven called me specifically. Daenerys Entertainment just doesn't have a project that's right for you, There's nothing wrong with you playing Tin Coble."

...

"Pierce, didn't expect you to meet Joanna... 'Northern Lights'? Maybe I should take a look at it."

...

"No need to worry too much Joe, Terminator 2 is a lot better than Abyss, and I'm keeping an eye on it myself, will make sure Cameron gets this project under $70 million... well, you can Tell Barry, I actually thought 50 million was unlikely at first."

...

"I'm sorry, sir, but you can send the script to Daenerys Entertainment's writing department, it's not my working hours."

...

"Looks like you already know, Jane, and Hawley...I think the heroine of "The Piano" is totally tailor-made for you...Well, Ella, you're going to schedule a formal meeting next week , and then call on Harvey, let everyone have a good talk... I, I will go there if I have time."

...

"I saw the finished film of "Ten Days of Dangerous Love" for the first time last week, and I have to say, the performances of the two of you are better than I thought... By the way, May, how is Dakota doing? ?"

...

"Maggie, isn't Warren here tonight... Oh, happy breakup... Haha, stop, I don't want to have an affair with you... Speaking of which, don't you think you should have a $70 million box office tour last time? Give me a share... well, let's change the subject."

...

"Unfortunately, Curt, the heroine of "The Flash" has basically been determined, and the schedules of "Scream 3" and "The Flash" are relatively close, so you are not suitable for this movie... If there is a suitable project, I will definitely consider yours first... "Fighting Wisdom Stars", Kurt, if you want to play, I can agree now, but you are about to be stereotyped by a horror movie, and you will be marked again. Comedy movie vase label? It takes two or three years to try various types of roles, don't care if it is a heroine or not, and don't pay too much attention to the remuneration, the most important thing is to hone your acting skills and broaden your acting career. After two or three years, You can probably complete the transformation.”

...

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Mikaela...yes, The Beverly Wife wasn't canceled, just this season

Pause, I think Iger should have talked to you guys... well, you've got Westeros' personal confirmation now... dinner ah, tomorrow night, I'm not in LA tomorrow... the night after tomorrow, sorry, no... ...that way, you can talk to my assistant later, who makes my schedule. "

...

Shuttling through the crowd in the hall, Simon continued to compliment, seduce, tout, test, lobby, and recommend for more than an hour before finally getting time to meet with Amy Pascal and other company executives.

Robert Iger was also in Los Angeles these two days. While everyone was laughing and laughing, one thing Iger casually mentioned quickly aroused Simon's interest.

The matter is related to the espn television station under the Metropolis/abc group, the parent company of the abc television network. Although Iger left abc, the related contacts have not been broken.

The largest sports TV station in North America, espn, which is as famous as cnn, hbo, mtv and other cable stations in the original time and space, was established in 1979. It was originally invested by the famous Getty family in the United States. That junior was kidnapped and had one ear cut off but still refused The Getty family paying the ransom.

The Getty family has long lost its glory due to the continuous heir war for property. The shares of espn were also sold during the family infighting in the 1980s. 80% of the shares were acquired by abc, and the other 20% of the shares fell to Nabisco. In the hands of the company, as the prospects of espn continue to improve, such a shareholding ratio has been maintained since 1984.

During this process, the abc television network was acquired by Metropolis Media and integrated into Metropolis/abc Group. Nabisco was acquired by Reynolds Tobacco for $25 billion in the largest leveraged buyout in U.S. business history. The shares of espn also unknowingly changed the parent company.

Now Reynolds Nabisco, mired in the mud from that disastrous merger a year ago, has had to pay off huge debts in the form of massive asset sales. As a tobacco food company, Reynolds Nabisco's espn shares naturally became a "non-core asset" that needed to be sold to repay debts.

Although he knew that Simon had always wanted to develop into the TV industry, Robert Iger did not expect that he would be interested in this equity, explaining: "Simon, this is only a 20% stake in espn, we won't have any control if we buy it, and the offer is also Very high, about $200 million, and it has to be approved by the Met/abc group.”

The valuation of espn at its peak reached $50 billion. In the original time and space, there were even media comments that Michael Eisner contributed to Disney’s $19 billion merger with Metropolis/abc, and the biggest gain was espn. In my memory, espn was precisely the 1990s when it completely secured its status as the number one sports TV network in the United States.

Now investing 200 million US dollars, Simon believes that in ten years, the annual dividends of this batch of shares will be more than that.

Although Simon has more demands on espn and the entire Metropolis/abc group, taking this 20% stake now is a very cost-effective investment anyway.

I told Iger to help himself collect a more detailed information as soon as possible. Simon looked at the time. After nine o'clock in the evening, he left early with the female assistant. It only takes more than an hour to fly from Los Angeles to Seattle, but it should be almost early morning to set up now.
