Entering April, Simon began to turn more energy to Daenerys Entertainment's film business.

The most important DC movie universe project, "Batman: The Dark Knight" completed the final cut at the end of March and successfully received a pg-13 rating, the schedule is June 7th. The first week of April saw a massive sprint for the film's final two months before its release.

In the past January, "The Flash", which is still wholly owned by Warner Bros. and still produced by Simon, quietly started in Melbourne, Australia. The shooting cycle is expected to be 3 to 4 months. The release date is December 20, the Christmas schedule.

Daenerys Entertainment has scheduled the release of "Wonder Woman" next summer, which will probably start in June.

In addition to the dc movie universe plan, because Simon delayed the production plan of "Superman", the original project director Martin Campbell was borrowed by MGM to shoot "Golden Eye of 007".

At the insistence of the Blockley family, who jointly hold the copyright of 007 with United United, the hero of "Golden Eye of 007" is still Timothy Dalton. However, Martin Campbell is the original director of Brosnan's version of "Goldeneye".

Of course, Famke Janssen, who has already been identified as Wonder Woman, will not play the Russian female agent who used a pair of long legs to kill people this time.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Shirley Lansing put a certain "old man killer" on the final shortlist of Russian female agents, and specifically asked Simon for his opinion.

Simon didn't think the sweetie type Catherine Zeta-Jones could play Famke Janssen's crazy bloodthirsty temperament in the original "Goldeneye." Considering that MGM would soon become the Johnston family's business, he did not accept the suggestion that Lansing might have some "good intentions."

Regarding the role of the film project in hand, Simon's attitude has always been that if the role is suitable, he is very happy to send a few favors, but if it is not suitable, he will never joke about the investment of tens of millions of dollars.

Speaking of which, there are actually many failures of Hollywood projects, which are caused by improper casting full of factors such as human dealings, and this proportion accounts for a very high proportion of Hollywood failed films.

The Hollywood film industry system has its very powerful side, and in many cases, it also appears very unprofessional. It is only because of the strong gambling nature of film investment that winning or losing seems to have a lot of luck, which hides many of the unprofessional factors.

After all, Hollywood filmmakers are used to spending other people's money, and they only earn labor fees.

Spending other people's money and losing it will never be too distressing.

Daenerys entertains, but Simon spends his own money.

Because they are responsible for their own profits and losses, each project means a huge investment ranging from millions to tens of millions of dollars. Of course, it needs to be cautious and cautious.

Not just "Batman: The Dark Knight", Daenerys Entertainment is about to start other films in the summer, whether it is "Terminator 2", "Desperados" and "A Few Good Men", or from Universal Pictures. Films such as "Tempering", "Jungle Fever", "Problem Boys 2" and "Family in the World", which were taken over by the industry, all started the final stage of publicity work to impact the summer season after entering April.

After the Oscars, it was confirmed that Pixar had accumulated enough technology, and the 3D version of "The Lion King" officially started production.

At the same time, another top priority project in 1992, "Jurassic Park", also successfully completed the script with Simon's personal intervention. Entering April, the project officially started the preliminary casting work. It is expected to start at the end of the year, and the schedule is determined to be the end of next year.

Taken together, Daenerys Entertainment has independently released four key projects in 1992, namely "Wonder Woman", "Ninja Turtles 2" in the summer and "Home Alone 2" and "Jurassic" in the end of the year. garden".

Simon has previously re-extended the development cycle of the DC Cinematic Universe project, which is not without benefits.

If the rhythm of two films per year is maintained, projects such as "Jurassic Park" are likely to be in direct competition with blockbusters in the DC movie universe, which often results in a lose-lose result.

As for Simon's promise to Spielberg's other project, "Schindler's List", because this time there is more time, Spielberg is not in a hurry to shoot back-to-back with "Jurassic Park". The film is expected to be shot next year. Filming began in the second half of the year and was released in 1993.

In addition, other external cooperation projects of Daenerys Entertainment are also within Simon's recent key work schedule.

Of the original 10 movie plans, 4 have been released so far, and 3 will be released this summer, namely "Terminator 2", "Desperados" and "A Few Good People".

The remaining 3, one belongs to MGM, and the other two belong to Warner Bros.

In order to get Paramount to give up blocking Daenerys Entertainment's acquisition of mca last year, Simon promised the other party 3 collaborative films.

If you count the director contract that Simon still owes Disney, Daenerys Entertainment has a total of 7 external cooperation projects.

Finally, to sort out the copyrights of the script novels that Daenerys Entertainment has bought continuously in the past year, in addition to several key IPs such as "Mission Impossible" and "Jurassic Park", Daenerys Entertainment also obtained successively in 1990. The other two major copyrights published.

Both are comics, a sci-fi comic "Men in Black" written by a cartoonist named Lowell Cunningham, and a children's comic "Shrek."

All statistics, Daenerys Entertainment's current copyright library includes the entire Marvel superhero system, DC's Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, the entire Tol King's Middle-earth series, "Mission Impossible" " and "The Bourne Bourne" two major spy series, "Charlie's Angels" series that bought the copyright from Columbia Pictures, "Fast and Furious" series originally obtained from the king of B-movie Roger Corman, quietly The "Forrest Gump" that Xiangsuo started with, the original "Jurassic Park" series that has endured in time and space, plus "Men in Black", "Shrek", and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" that have been put into development The series, the old 1930s film "The Mummy" series with great adaptation value in the Universal Copyright Library, etc., etc., all these original time and space hoarded are the copyrights of great sales, which is enough for Daenerys Entertainment to develop thirty years or more.

In terms of animated films, Daenerys Entertainment also included Pixar, which developed blockbuster 3D animated films such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and Monster Power, in the original time and space in advance.

It's fair to say that even if Simon were to start outright now, and even if only half of all those rights were as successful as Simon remembers, Daenerys Entertainment's film business would be strong enough in Hollywood for a long time to come.

What's more, Simon certainly won't let go. Daenerys Entertainment's team that has been carefully built for several years is enough to support the development of these precious copyrights.

After a month of continuous work in various film studios, production meetings, post-production meetings, actor auditions, publicity meetings and other film affairs, the time soon came to May.

This year's Cannes Film Festival will open on May 9. Daenerys Entertainment still has two films shortlisted in the main competition unit this time, namely the new Coen Brothers film "Barton Fink" invested by Gaomen Pictures and "Barton Fink" from Universal The studio has taken over Spike Lee's new film "Jungle Fever," which will be released this summer.

Ella Deutschman led the team to Cannes a week early.

Simon wanted to take this opportunity to go to Europe with Janet for a rest.

However, Janet is less than three months pregnant, and the doctor's advice is that it is best not to fly, and the woman plans to stop flying during the entire pregnancy, which is actually one of the reasons why she let go of Cersei Capital Management.

Although she no longer manages Cersei Capital, Janet is not idle all day, just as little as possible.

The little brain who was only used to turning seven points was reduced to three points.

Dumay Point Manor.

The time is Sunday, May 5th.

James Raybould was followed by his daughter from Los Angeles International Airport, and the Simons had been greeted outside Baker Villa.

Although it is a day off, there are some very important things to discuss today.

In short, the entire Westeros system is a matter of assets, cash and liabilities.

Everyone greeted each other and came to a small conference room in the villa together.

Seeing the works of the four girls abcd in the villa, like his daughter, the eldest girl, took the initiative to run to bring tea and pour water, and James Rebold felt a little tired again.

White raised!

However, just thinking about it this way, James quickly turned his attention to business.

Since the stock market crash in 1987, Simon's personal assets have grown rapidly in a few years.

At the same time, the entire Westeros system is definitely a waste of money.

Especially in the two consecutive acquisitions of mca and Bell Atlantic in the past year, although the final loan ratio is not as high as originally expected, the debt scale of the entire Westeros system has also reached the level of 10 billion US dollars.

In this era when the market value of giant companies such as General Motors, IBM, and General Electric is still generally $50 billion or $60 billion, the debt of tens of billions of dollars is a very heavy burden for most companies, not to mention this The money is basically Simon's personal liability.

In recent years, the expansion of the Westeros system has mainly relied on the lucrative Daenerys Entertainment for blood transfusions, in addition to Simon's gains in several major financial markets.

The just-concluded Gulf War is the last big market that Cersei Capital's fund hedging business can take advantage of for many years to come.

Therefore, it is unlikely that you want to get more than one billion dollars of funds from the financial market.

On Daenerys Entertainment's side, although the company's net profit in 1990 reached an astonishing $1.12 billion, this year, due to the acquisition of mca, Daenerys Entertainment's liabilities increased by $7 billion at one time. Counting the previous accumulation, it is only that Daenerys Entertainment itself has more than 8 billion US dollars in debt, and the amount of principal and interest that needs to be repaid each year will reach more than 1 billion US dollars.

In 1990, Daenerys Entertainment's final revenue figure was $3.96 billion, and mca's revenue was $3.37 billion.

With the merger of the two companies, the new Daenerys Entertainment will have more than $7 billion in revenue.

However, with Daenerys Entertainment doubling in size at one time, corporate profit margins will no longer be as high as they were when they were traveling lightly.

What's more, there are huge debts to be repaid in recent years.

Therefore, it is not feasible to obtain funds from Daenerys Entertainment to transfuse blood to other companies in the Westeros system.

Another Bell Atlantic, though again a source of cash flow with billions of dollars in annual revenue that could fund the Westeros system.

However, Simon did not intend to draw blood from Bell Atlantic, but planned to

Provide additional funding to drive Bell Atlantic's investments in mobile communications and the Internet over the next few years. Therefore, the company can't count on it either.

Cersei Capital, Daenerys Entertainment, and Bell Atlantic are unable to send too much money to the entire system, but many companies in the Westeros system maintain a constant thirst for funds.

Igreit alone will need to invest $500 million this year.

AOL, Nokia, Cisco and several other companies are also big spenders.

And even if Westeros no longer invests in other new technology companies, Simon will need to continue to inject capital if he wants to maintain his stake in new technology companies that have invested in them.

Next, Daenerys Entertainment also plans to launch the Universal Studios Osaka project with a total budget of about 2 billion US dollars. Even if Panasonic shares half of the investment, Daenerys Entertainment itself needs to spend another 1 billion US dollars.

The last point is that the Simon and his wife's daily expenses are actually very large.

Of course, on closer inspection, the Westeros system does not face difficulties raising funds. Because the entire Westeros system has been in a thriving state of rapid development in recent years, major banks both in North America and overseas are very happy to provide Simon with loans.

The focus of everyone's discussion this time is the routine sorting and re-planning of the capital trends of the Westeros system.

Simon's family is very rich, and it is very easy to get investment from the bank.

However, if you spend your money too casually and without careful planning, you will unknowingly accumulate large sums of completely unnecessary expenses. If it continues to accumulate, there may be a day when a tangled debt problem will break out, or even a domino effect.

Simon's personal financial problems have always been handled by Janet herself. A woman's small head turns seven points, which is roughly equivalent to twenty or thirty points of an ordinary person's. Simon has always been very relieved, and the woman does take this matter seriously. Well done.

In addition to private finances, James has also been responsible for managing the Westeros company in recent years, and Simon has always attached great importance to the financial supervision of the entire Westeros system.

Therefore, the financial crisis of the Westeros system is unlikely.

However, Simon, of course, also knows the truth of preventing micro and preventing gradual progress, so he attaches great importance to today's meeting.

"For the construction of Universal Studios Osaka, several Japanese banks are very willing to provide us with funds. In the next few years, the yen, which has been appreciating for many years, may enter a depreciation cycle, and I think it is very cost-effective to obtain loans from Japanese banks. "

"On Igret's side, Cersei Fund Management's profit this year is probably enough to maintain the company's expenses, so there is no need to raise additional funds."

"Nokia has successfully developed a new generation of digital mobile phones, and the gsm network in Europe has also begun to enter the stage of practical application. The funds needed for the company's next development are the funds that Melisandre needs to buy Van Cleef \u0026 Arpels. The expenses required for the layout of mobile communications and other fields, the next stage of investment required to maintain our shareholding in non-listed companies such as Qualcomm, and the expenses of the two of you, we will probably need to obtain another 1 billion to 1.5 billion this year. dollar loan."

"These are expenses. The three-year promise to not reduce holdings in the batch of technology stocks I bought has expired. Except for companies such as Microsoft and Intel that I plan to hold for a long time, I have recently reduced my holdings to 5%. At the same time, we have withdrawn from the boards of these companies. If there is an emergency, we can cash out five to one billion dollars in cash at any time. This money will be enough to cover Daenerys Entertainment in the next two or three years. We need to pay back maturing debt."

The small meeting of four people lasted for a day.

James Leibold finally summed it up like this, looked up at Simon and Janet, and asked: "One last thing, the Westeros Tower construction plan in Manhattan, are you two really going to start it soon? ?"
