Any branch of the DC Cinematic Universe, even if it can only reach half the box office level of "Batman: Hour of War" in the future, is enough to support the performance of a major studio. Therefore, the executives of Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner Group will personally come forward to finalize the role candidates for the project.

Also, because these roles represent an opportunity for many actors to reach the sky, the entire Hollywood, whether it is those eagerly awaited actors, or various agencies, are closely watching any news from Daenerys Studios. Related Information.

When the news that the hero and heroine of "The Flash" was finalized came out, not to mention the joy of the parties involved, countless eyes in and out of Hollywood instantly focused on Jason Jedrick and Robin Wright, both of whom were only twenty-four or five years old. of young people who have become the center of attention in Hollywood in just a few hours.

Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner Group allow actors who have signed the DC Cinematic Universe long-term contract to appear in other movie projects. Although there are very strict restrictions, when the DC Cinematic Universe team has not officially contacted the parties to sign the contract, many systems The studios have handed a string of offers to the two actors' agencies in an attempt to secure their vacant slots outside of the DC Cinematic Universe project ahead of schedule.

In the morning, the candidates for the hero and heroine of "The Flash" were confirmed, and in the afternoon, the core supporting roles of the project were also finalized one after another.

Although not comparable to the male and female protagonists, these people also received a lot of attention.

Speaking of which, the casting process of the DC Cinematic Universe is very different from Hollywood tradition.

Traditional Hollywood film projects are constantly in contact and negotiation with filmmakers, and slowly piece together the entire team. In the dc movie universe project, the initiative is completely on the side of the producer, because this series will not deliberately pursue any first-line star, superheroes such as Batman, Superman, and The Flash are themselves well-known 'stars' .

Therefore, when the casting starts, if an actor wants to get a certain role, as long as he passes the initial selection, he must first sign an agreement of intent. The terms include accepting the long-term contract of the dc movie universe, salary rules, image authorization, etc. If you do not Accept it, and then there is no need to waste the time of both parties.

This casting process also means that once an actor is selected, the two parties can quickly sign a formal contract, and there is no need to wrestle with the details. If an actor temporarily changes his mind and wants to raise the price after being selected, he will not only be abandoned immediately, but also face huge claims.

Confirm the main cast of "The Flash", and take over the next signing and arranging the actors to perform related physical fitness and performance training.

Simon sent Terry Semel and others away, and just after returning to his own office in the administrative district, the female assistant came in and told him that James Redbold had called before and said that there was something very important.

Without turning to the leather chair behind the desk, Simon sat down directly on the edge of the table opposite, picked up the microphone and signaled the female assistant to dial.

Jennifer dialed a series of numbers skillfully, and just after dialing, a hand came over from the side. After struggling a few times with anger, seeing Simon started talking to his father on the opposite side, he had to give up the struggle, but the hand let go of her again.

Smiling and watching the female assistant pretending to help her organize her desk with red ears, Simon chatted with the other side for a few words, but his expression gradually converged.

The thing is about the 20% stake in espn that Robert Iger brought up at the party last Saturday.

Robert Iger returned to New York and quickly compiled a general profile for Simon.

Founded 11 years ago, espn now has more than 57 million subscribers, annual revenue of $500 million, and a net profit of $51 million last year.

Simon was a little curious about why the Metropolis/abc Group didn't buy back the 20% shares by themselves. Because of the veto of the major shareholders, the Metropolis/abc Group had a bigger advantage than any other buyer in wanting to buy the 20% equity. . Because of the success of "Who Will Be a Millionaire", the Met/abc Group has been in a relatively good financial position in recent years and can fully afford the funds.

Data collected by Robert Iger gives why.

The conservative chairman of the Metropolis/abc group, Tom Murphy, and the major shareholder Warren Buffett are not willing to pay too high a price for this equity. The valuation of 20% of the shares is 200 million US dollars, which is equivalent to nearly 20 times. The price-earnings ratio is too high in the eyes of the two old men, and they are only willing to give a price-earnings ratio of 10 times.

In addition, espn has just recently signed a huge four-year, $400 million game broadcast agreement with Major League Baseball, and espn's annual revenue is only $500 million. Because of this agreement, the annual content cost has increased abruptly by $100 million. , and also makes espn take a very big risk.

If this very risky and huge deal eventually fails, espn, which has been developing well, is likely to turn into decline.

Since the Metropolis/abc Group was unwilling to buy the shares, Simon thought that he would be sure of the shot, so he directly handed the matter over to James.

Unexpectedly, things suddenly changed again.

James told Simon on the phone that the acquisition of this stake was going very well. He communicated with Tom Murphy, chairman of the Metropolis/abc Group, and the other party was happy that Westeros could buy the shares. Contact with Reynolds Nabisco has also been very positive.

However, just this morning, Tom Murphy suddenly called James again, saying that most of the

The meeting/abc group is likely to be unable to accept Westeros' stake in espn on the grounds that other Metropolitan/abc group partners are interested in the shares.

Under James' questioning, Murphy revealed that it was the Hearst family, who had been interested in entering the cable TV industry in recent years, who wanted to buy the 20% stake in espn.

The Hearst family is a super media family with deep roots in the United States like the Newhouse family.

Although there are no Hearst family members on this year's Forbes 400 top 10 list, only the Newhouse brothers make up two of them. But in fact, the wealth of the Hearst family is comparable to that of the Newhouse family. It is only because the first-generation founder of the Hearst family, William Hearst, has a total of six children. Excessive dispersion of ownership.

The Hearst family has been prosperous for a hundred years. Back then, William Hearst directly instigated a 'Spanish-American War' between the United States and Spain with the help of the Hearst Group's nationwide media network. The influence of the Hearst family on American news and public opinion is evident from this.

Now the Hearst family has gradually begun to be in power by the third generation. However, this media family still deeply influences the news and public opinion in the United States with hundreds of newspapers, weekly magazines, magazines and other media platforms in major cities in North America. Going forward, the influential "San Francisco Chronicle" on the West Coast is the industry under the name of Hearst Group.

Although Simon's personal wealth is already several times that of the Hearst family, James thinks it's better not to provoke such a media family that is deeply rooted in the United States enough to incite a war.

James originally wanted to inquire about more specific details and then talk to Simon about it. This afternoon, William Hearst III, the third-generation heir of the Hearst family, contacted him again, but he sent an invitation to Simon, hoping He will be able to attend a party in the Hearst family tomorrow night.

As for the purpose, obviously it couldn't be more obvious.

After talking with James on the phone for more than 20 minutes, the female assistant had just left. Simon put down the microphone and continued to think about it by leaning against the edge of the desk.

In those days in New York at the beginning of the month, Janet told Simon that if possible, the American media families like Newhouse and Hearst, it is best to befriend them. These media families that manipulate American news and public opinion, if they can Establishing connections will definitely help a lot in the development of the Westeros system.

However, it is not so easy for a newly rising wealthy like Simon to break into the circle of those old-fashioned families. There are no aristocrats in the United States, but the aristocratic plot of the old-fashioned families on this land is actually more serious than that in Europe.

Moreover, Simon has his own pride. If others are not welcome, he will not put down his body and join those circles.

Now there is an unexpected opportunity.

Hearst, Newhouse, or the Graham family that controls The Washington Post Group may still control the news and public opinion in the United States, but Simon knows that with the advent of the Internet age, these old media The family will gradually decline.

After the new century, many well-known newspapers and magazines that have been inherited for a hundred years and are still completely unattainable at the moment, such as The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Time, etc., will be sold to a series of new rich people at the price of clearance. Just for the newspapers and magazines to survive.

Simon seriously recalled the memory in his mind, and soon found a message.

After the decline of the U.S. print media industry, the Hearst family's 20% stake in the espn television network accounted for more than half of the entire Hearst Group's annual profits.

Completing the acquisition of mca, as long as the timing is right, Simon's next target is the Metropolis/abc group that owns the abc network and espn.

Now give up 20% of the shares of ESPN TV to the Hearst family. In a few years, with the rise of ESPN and the decline of paper media, the Hearst family, which relies heavily on the 20% shares of ESPN, is likely to become the entire Hearst family. A vassal of the Westeros system.

The huge media network consisting of hundreds of newspapers, weekly magazines and magazines, even if only a small part will remain in the future, will be a force of public opinion that cannot be underestimated.

Jennifer knocked on the door again and came in, holding some documents in her hand, noticing the smile at the corner of Simon's mouth, and asked, "What did Dad say to you?"

Simon briefly said the content of the phone call just now. Of course, what has not happened, he did not disclose.

After hearing this, the female assistant frowned slightly and said, "In this case, we still don't want this equity. It will be very troublesome to have a conflict with the Hearst family."

Simon nodded and said again: "However, the Hearst family can't just use a party to get me out of the competition, there must be some benefits."

The female assistant thought about it and said, "The "San Francisco Chronicle" happens to be owned by the Hearst family. This time, it may be possible to exchange a content cooperation agreement between the Igret Portal and the "San Francisco Chronicle"."

The Igreit Portal has previously established a partnership with the Murdoch family's News Corporation, but Murdoch is only willing to provide the Igreit Portal with news from Europe and Australia.

In North America, on the one hand, the media strength of News Corp is not so strong, on the other hand, it may also be the instinctive defense of Murdoch's old fox. Get content support.

At present, the North American news on the Igret portal mainly comes from the cooperation of a small local newspaper in San Francisco, and the quality of the content is difficult to satisfy. If it is possible to

Getting news content at the San Francisco Chronicle in San Francisco, of course, couldn't be better.

"Very good idea," Simon nodded, stretched out his hand to pull the female assistant in front of him, and smiled: "But now, let's think about where we should spend the night tonight."

The female assistant was held in Simon's arms, and she put a profile on Simon's prickly chin, and said, "Jenny has been very dissatisfied on the phone recently, saying that she wants to bring back a bottle of red wine mixed with chili water. ."

Simon smiled: "You just don't drink it."

The female assistant nodded solemnly, but added in a dark belly, "She said she wanted to give you a drink."

Janet went to Europe last week and successfully acquired Chateau Latour at a price of 120 million US dollars. Then she participated in this year's autumn fashion week in Milan. She plans to return to North America tomorrow. The Boeing 767 has already flown to Europe in the morning. Pick up.

In the evening, he could only take the Falcon business jet owned by Daenerys Entertainment to go to San Francisco with Jennifer for the night. Simon sent the female assistant back to Los Angeles the next morning, and continued to fly to the East Coast in that Falcon.

The time has been arranged.

Simon arrived in New York at about four o'clock in the afternoon on the East Coast and waited at JFK Airport for less than half an hour. The Boeing 767 that Janet and his party took also landed on the runway.

This time, not only Janet came back alone, but Sophia Fishy will also come, but also brought her family members, including her parents and a pair of children.

In the phone call a few days ago, Sophia said that she hoped that her two children could go to school in the United States in the future, and they would stay with their parents.

Simon had not met Sophia's children, but knew that the woman had previously placed a pair of children in a private school in Geneva, Switzerland.

Switzerland is well-known for its excellence in private schools, and there is not much language barrier to study there. Sophia suddenly sent her children to North America. Simon guessed that there should be other things, maybe her ex-husband thought again to take the child back.

However, Sophia didn't say it clearly, and Simon didn't want to ask too detailed.

Beside the JFK runway, Janet walked out of the cabin, saw Simon, and immediately trotted down, jumped into the man's arms like a bird returning to its nest, until the sound of high heels sounded behind her, and the woman finally bit Simon lightly on the lips. After a while, he was willing to let him go.

Simon also saw Sophia and his party.

Sophia Fisher was wearing a white professional ol set, still intellectual and beautiful, holding a child on both sides, the boy was older, about ten years old, looking a little shy, the other side was a seven- or eight-year-old girl. But it was a pair of bright blue eyes that looked at Simon without any hesitation.

Behind Sophia Fisher was a couple with gray hair. Seeing Simon looking at them, they all nodded restrainedly.

Because Sophia's parents were present, Simon originally just wanted to shake hands with the female executive as a greeting, but Sophia let go of the two children, stepped forward generously and hugged Simon before introducing her family.

Two children, a boy named Daniel Fisher, who is 10 years old, and a girl named Gemma Fisher, who is 7 years old.

When introducing their parents, the female executives seemed less enthusiastic.

Although it was only the first time they met, Simon noticed that the couple were very accommodating to their daughter. However, although Sophia brought them to the United States to watch their children, the gap between the female executives and her parents was very obvious.
