Hollywood Hunter

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

As if all of a sudden, the first quarter of 1993 was coming to an end.

In the past March, the hottest media topic is undoubtedly the "Information Superhighway Plan" bill officially passed at the beginning of the month, and the ensuing whole society around this huge investment bill involving 400 billion US dollars in the next two decades. In various discussions, new technology companies such as Igret, Cisco, America Online, Microsoft, Intel, etc. have also become the darlings of the capital market for a while.

The most powerful young man in Hollywood is undoubtedly the most watched one in this trend.

Only Cisco and AOL, two new technology companies with a market value of over 30 billion US dollars, have brought nearly 50 billion US dollars of wealth to each other, and even some Hollywood superstars who have a lot of balance in their hands have begun to look for new technology. investment in the field.

However, for most of the native Hollywood, new technology, the Internet, the information age, tens of billions of dollars... these are still a little far away from them.

At the end of March, what everyone pays most attention to is still the most important event of the awards season that has lasted for several months, the 65th Academy Awards Ceremony.

Simon returned to Los Angeles from his New York schedule and was immediately surrounded by work.

This year's Easter is April 11th, and Daenerys Entertainment's Easter schedule film "Reverse Wisdom 2" will be released on April 9th. Simon needs to pay attention to the announcement of the film.

Films such as "Superman", "Sleepless in Seattle", "Sugar-Coated Trap", and "Gannet Assassination" in the summer season have all been basically completed, and Simon must also check it himself.

There are also a large number of projects such as "Mission Impossible", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Schindler's List" that are in the production stage, all of which require Simon to pay a certain amount of energy.

The copyright related to the "Conjuring" universe, which has been entangled for a while, has finally been resolved recently. Simon discussed the development plan of related projects with Danny Morris, the head of New World Pictures, in the morning. Screenwriter Roland Emmerich, directed by Michael Bay, Stargate Production Sessions.

At two o'clock, the "Stargate" production meeting ended, and Amy Pascal and Universal Music president Richard Palmes were already waiting for Simon.

After completing the acquisition of mca, Daenerys Entertainment has basically completed the adjustment and integration of movies, TV, theme parks and other businesses. However, in terms of records, because they have been unable to devote their energy before, and because they are not interested in the record industry. All too well, Simon hasn't made much adjustment to the record label.

In the past two years, Universal Music has been in charge of Richard Palmes. Although the former executive of mca in his fifties has not made great achievements, he has also taken care of the record company in an orderly manner. Relying on the soundtrack sales of some of Daenerys Entertainment's outstanding films, the record business has provided the group with a good profit.

There is no need to rely on the distribution channels of other record companies as in the "Bodyguard" period, which was also the most important point for Simon.

However, this is clearly not enough.

The last time he saw a prototype of a digital music player developed by Tinkerbell in San Francisco, Simon knew it was time to redesign the record business.

Missing out on the last boom for physical records, it will be hard to do much in the music field in the future.

In recent years, Universal Music has always been more inclined to the field of rock and roll. The famous Guns \u0026 Roses is a group under Universal Music. In addition, there are heavy metal bands such as Dream Theater Band and Perak Tango. In addition to rock, some other types of signed singers, the most famous is Cher, the actress who co-starred with Cage in "Moonlight" and won the Oscar for Best Actress.

Guns N' Roses is famous enough, and the album sales are also very good. The last two albums have sold 35 million copies worldwide, but the rock band has finally deviated from the mainstream.

Cher's peak period was in the 1960s and 1970s, and since the 1980s, she has put more energy on performances.

Therefore, compared to Sony's Columbia Records with Michael Jackson and Warner Records with Madonna, Universal's biggest shortcoming is the lack of a phenomenal mainstream superstar.

Simon happens to know a lot about the trends in the recording industry in the 1990s.

In the 1990s, the rising teen pop singers, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, etc., almost overwhelmed the edge of all traditional singers for a while. Moreover, compared to the previous industry status that required a lot of luck to build a top singer, teenage pop singers are a kind of "mass manufacturing".

When it comes to teenage popularity, we have to mention the jive record company that was very popular in the 1990s. From the earliest backstreet boys to the later Britney Spears, they were all created by jive records.

Simon has already investigated the information of jive records in advance.

Jive Records is now one of the subsidiaries of General Electric's rca group record subsidiary, which is also the parent company of nbc. The relationship between rca and rca records is the same as mca and universal music.

As a subsidiary of a subsidiary of a subsidiary of the giant General Electric, and it is only a partial shareholding, if other record companies want to dig a foothold, it will not be too difficult. Large record groups usually have Many subsidiaries, and these subsidiaries change their parent companies quite frequently.

just, as

If Daenerys Entertainment, the most popular in Hollywood, is poaching the ground, things will not be so easy.

After an afternoon of discussions, Simon made two decisions. The record business of Daenerys Entertainment was officially renamed Daenerys Music Group, announcing that Daenerys Entertainment began to make efforts in the field of records. , Another decision was to start contacting Barry Weiss, president of jive records.

After thinking about it, Simon gave up the decision to swallow the entire jive record, and instead poached over the jive record president Barry Weiss, who in the 1990s created a teenage pop scene. This is easier than buying the entire jive record. A lot, but also saves time while avoiding all kinds of unnecessary tugging.

This continued until five o'clock in the afternoon, when the meeting was over, and after Richard Palmers left, Amy Pascal asked Simon, "How do you arrange the evening?"

The Oscars red carpet ceremony in the city center should have already started. Simon didn't plan to join in the fun. He smiled and said, "Go home and have dinner with Jenny first. After the awards ceremony, I will probably go to the party for a while."

Amy already knew the news that Janet was pregnant again, and even vaguely guessed some other things from Simon's rearrangement of the female assistant's work, but she didn't intend to go into it, but turned the topic to the Osaka Universal Studios in Japan. As for the construction of the city, she will fly to Japan tomorrow to check the progress of the construction of the studio.

The two chatted for a while, Amy left, and Simon continued to read some documents in the office until six o'clock, then left the studio and rushed back to Malibu.

It's actually three people having dinner together tonight.

The two women are pregnant together. Simon actually hopes that the female assistant will also live in the Du Meijia Manor, so that it is more convenient to take care of. There are many beautiful girls in the manor, and there will not be too many female assistants. But Jennifer did not agree, but continued to live in her uncle George Norman's house.

As Simon's former personal lawyer, George Norman now also serves on the board of directors of some Westeros system companies. Like the Raybolds, he has a very close relationship with the Westeros system, coupled with personal relationships. , the fact that the female assistant was pregnant was not concealed from George Norman.

The female assistant insisted on staying at her uncle's house, and Simon didn't object. She just accompanied an additional female bodyguard and female assistant to Jennifer, who was responsible for 24-hour daily care.

The Normans also knew that it was a big deal, and in order to avoid leaks, they sent their youngest son to a boarding school.

Moreover, in the plan, after the female assistant showed her pregnancy, she planned to move to Simon's mountain villa in Woodside, San Francisco, so that it would not be too far from Los Angeles, and could avoid a lot of attention here, and it was very convenient to go from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

Although they couldn't live together, Janet often took the initiative to invite Jennifer to eat together at home during this time. The two women had a very good relationship. After they became pregnant together, the relationship seemed to be closer.

When Simon hurried back to Dumay Point Manor, the 65th Academy Awards ceremony officially opened in the Dorothy Chandler Theater at the Los Angeles Music Center, and this year's host was still Billy Crystal.

Compared with the previous years, this year can be described as a typical Oscar year.

Daenerys Entertainment originally had three films, "Scent of a Woman", "The Crying Game" and "Howard Manor", which were enough to squeeze into the ranks of the best films, but, in order to avoid distracting the judges, Daenerys Entertainment this year only The main one is "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", and the other two films have only declared some nominations such as best screenwriter or best actress.

"The Crying Game" and "Howard Manor" voluntarily withdrew from the competition for the best picture award. This year's five best picture nominated films suddenly seemed a lot sad.

In addition to "Scent of a Woman", the other four best picture nominees are Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven", Mike Neville's "April Day", Spike Lee "Malcolm X" and "Chaplin" starring Robert Downey Jr.

When the nominations were just announced, many media in North America bluntly criticized some of the works in this Best Picture nomination for being unworthy of their name. Daenerys Entertainment's "The Crying Game" and "Howard Park" were also specifically mentioned.

Oscar is also helpless about this.

Daenerys Entertainment did not declare relevant nominations, and she could never impose it on the other party.

It's just that most of the public is obviously unaware of the Oscar judging rules.

Under the influence of the media, everyone only saw Oscar's prejudice against Daenerys Entertainment.

Even last year's mediocre "Times" beat Daenerys Entertainment's "Farewell to the Piano" and "The End of the Road" was mentioned again, thus triggering the Oscars against Daenerys Entertainment, a new player Not a friendly enough guess.

In fact, this public opinion situation also has factors that Daenerys Entertainment guided behind the scenes.

The extent to which Oscar is influenced by media public opinion is actually very large.

The entire Oscar jury team has reached 6,000 people. These judges will never really pay attention to the quality of the film itself. Most of them are easily influenced by public relations and public opinion.

Last year, "Times" won the first Oscar for best female director and most importantly, the best picture, which has already caused strong controversy. If Daenerys Entertainment is ignored this year, the credibility of the Oscars may be affected. influences. Even if you don't care whether a really good film wins or not, since becoming a member of the Oscar jury group, because of human instinct

attribute, this group of people will inevitably tend to maintain Oscar's credibility.

At the awards ceremony in the evening, last year's voluntary abandonment of Oscar and the public opinion guidance strategy some time ago obviously played a role.

In the Dorothy Chandler Hall, Erin Lauder, who participated in this film festival for the first time, obviously didn't know the inside story behind the Oscars. Some guy sitting in the seventh row in the center of the hall specially arranged for her not bad. In her position, she was surrounded by all kinds of stars that could only be seen on the big screen in the past. The girl was only excited by instinct, and she didn't feel the feeling that a certain guy said yesterday that it would be very boring to do three hours at the awards ceremony.

With the official start of the awards, Erin Lauder, who had done some homework in advance, couldn't help but start paying attention to Daenerys Entertainment's films.

Best Sound, "Wonder Woman."

Best Visual Effects, Wonder Woman.

Best Cinematography, "Love in the River".

Best Actress, Emma Thompson, "Howard Park."

Best Original Screenplay, The Crying Game.

Best Adapted Screenplay, "Scent of a Woman".

Best Film Editing, "Wonder Woman."

Best Actor, Al Pacino, "Scent of a Woman".

Best Director, Martin Brest, "Scent of a Woman".

Best Picture, "Scent of a Woman".

Before she knew it, when the awards ceremony was over, Erin Lauder discovered that among all the 22 Oscar awards this year, only the related films of Daenerys Entertainment got 10 golden statuettes. Moreover, these All are Oscar's most important awards.

Among the falling awards, only the best supporting actor and actress are more important, and the others are corner technical awards such as the best animated short film, the best documentary, and the best soundtrack.

Although she had only known Simon for less than three days, at the Oscars ceremony, Erin Lauder could clearly feel how strong Daenerys Entertainment was in Hollywood, and she couldn't help but feel some inexplicable pride. sense.

It's a pity that a certain guy is not here.

Fortunately, the company has won so many awards. You can't possibly not attend the next Melisandre party, right?
