Hollywood Hunter - Chapter 1687
Inside a mansion in Brentwood Heights, north of Santa Monica, Los Angeles.
The chattering in the restaurant during breakfast seemed quite lively.
It is mainly a group of girls such as the Hilton sisters, Kardashian sisters, Elizabeth Jagger and Ivanka, and the main dining room of the mansion is only used for banquets brought by the girls who are obviously divided into four groups. On both sides of the meter-long dining table, there were more than 30 girls lined up.
It’s October 20th.
Friday.
The four major fashion weeks this fall finally came to an end. Elizabeth Jagger, who had been busy for more than a month, returned from Europe. After a discussion, the little sisters decided to come to Los Angeles for the weekend and have a good rest.
In fact, of course, it’s all excuses.
Although most of the girls are not yet 18 years old, due to various reasons, the parents basically have no expectations for this group of girls’ studies, and it doesn’t matter if they can’t go on. So, as long as you finish what you need to do, such as the recording of the wife series, or the work on the runway show, everything else is optional.
Moreover, when the girls came to Los Angeles, the parents actually liked it to a certain extent, because it was possible to get close to a super tycoon more, and people had to move around more to get closer. This is the axiom of the world.
The mansion in the Brentwood Hills now belongs to Simon.
The girls have their own properties in Los Angeles. However, in order to get together for fun, or to facilitate bickering, after greeting, not only a private plane is arranged here, but also the current residence, the most golden hilltop location in the wealthy area of Brentwood. , more luxurious than their respective mansions in Los Angeles.
I don’t want to leave if I stay.
At least, when her mother was pregnant, Elizabeth, who got some kind of legitimacy, wondered if she could occupy this mansion for a long time. After all, obviously, a man here can’t live there at all, and it must be empty on weekdays. .
Inside the restaurant.
The topic at this time is about today’s “Los Angeles Times”.
The girls don’t have the good habit of reading newspapers, but today is special because the “Los Angeles Times” focused on publishing Daenerys Entertainment Group’s 2000 full-year financial report just announced yesterday.
In the past fiscal year from October 1999 to September 2000, Daenerys Entertainment’s annual revenue finally reached 59.1 billion US dollars, with a revenue growth rate of 13.1%.
Revenue growth, compared to profits, is even more of a number that the industry is concerned about.
When Daenerys Entertainment’s annual revenue was close to $50 billion, the industry generally expected that the subsequent annual growth of this super media giant would shrink to less than 10%, or even lower. After all, the volume is there, just like a country has developed to a certain extent, it is impossible for GDP to make great strides every year.
However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, from the revenue scale of nearly 50 billion US dollars in fiscal year 1998, to the most recent, for three consecutive fiscal years, Daenerys Entertainment Group’s annual revenue growth rate has remained strong at 10%. % or more, this year even surpassed last year’s 11.6%, reaching a high of 13.1% again.
You know, before this, the industry generally predicted that Daenerys Entertainment’s revenue growth this year would only be around 12% in the best case.
On the other hand, Daenerys Entertainment’s full-year net profit also hit a new high, reaching $10.6 billion, with a net profit margin of 17.2%.
This is also a highlight of this year’s financial report.
An equally important highlight.
This is because Daenerys is the only company in the entire federation that has announced annual financial reports for at least the past four quarters, and is the only company with an annual profit of more than 10 billion US dollars.
Others, according to the latest annual financial report data, only two are closer to Daenerys Entertainment, Citigroup, with an annual net profit of 9.8 billion US dollars, and General Electric, with an annual net profit of 9.2 billion US dollars, and then later. , the profit scale is less than 9 billion US dollars.
In short, just with this financial report data, Daenerys Entertainment Group is worthy of the leading stock position on the New York Stock Exchange.
In addition to the overall financial figures, while all aspects of the business have maintained considerable growth, Daenerys Entertainment once again focused on the development of its own game business.
In the past fiscal year, Daenerys Entertainment’s annual game revenue, including stand-alone games, online games and other categories, reached 11.9 billion US dollars, which is also the first time that it broke the 10 billion US dollar mark. Moreover, The annual revenue growth rate far exceeded the average growth rate of Daenerys, reaching 26.5%, and contributed a net profit of 2.73 billion US dollars to Daenerys Entertainment, and the net profit margin was also as high as 22.9%.
Growth, which has always been a favorite feature of the federal stock market.
When all parties thought a few years ago that Daenerys Entertainment, which has grown into an industry supergiant, would fall into the dilemma of the performance growth ceiling, it has maintained an excellent growth rate of more than 10% for three consecutive years. It is inevitable that Daenerys has already The lofty stock price has once again injected a booster.
Just yesterday, Daenerys Entertainment announced its financial report at 9:00 a.m. East Coast time. On Thursday, the company’s stock price rose by 1.7% in a single day, successfully breaking through the $900 billion that had been fluctuating but could not be stepped into before. Threshold, the closing market value reached 907.2 billion US dollars.
While one step closer to another trillion-dollar market value giant, Daenerys also achieved another overtake of Tincobler, which had previously pushed it to the third place in the US stock market value.
Before that, with the outstanding performance of a series of new products released this year, especially the outstanding market performance of the iPad-40 after the autumn conference, Tinkerbell chased all the way, not only quickly achieving parity with Daenerys, but also keeping pace with Daenerys. In the previous days, it achieved a small overtake.
Just yesterday, on Thursday’s trading day, Tincobair’s share price rose slightly by 0.6%, also breaking through the $900 billion mark, becoming the third super giant in the US stock market with a market value of more than $900 billion.
However, the company’s closing market value was fixed at $903.3 billion, which was nearly $6 billion higher than Daenerys’ market value at the close of the previous day to nearly $4 billion behind Daenerys.
In any case, behind the scenes, the beneficiaries of this stalemate are the Westeros system.
Simon has already determined that he will throw the “Enron bomb” in December. Before that, whether his own company can break into the trillion-dollar club is not too important. However, judging from the current situation, it is obviously very hopeful that at least one more place will be added.
Although Simon still doesn’t care, there are obviously many people who pay attention to this matter, and some bookmakers have even opened bets on it.
A group of girls in the restaurant of the mansion basically could not understand the essence behind the financial report. They were as enthusiastic as many people about whether Daenerys could break through the trillion-dollar market value.
Even if there are some small thoughts of his own in his heart, he has the same caliber on this matter. Even when he found out that the “Los Angeles Times” article mentioned that a gaming company opened for this reason, he had thoughts and called the waitress here directly. , Everyone chatted again, and simply collected more than half a million dollars, all betting that Daenerys could break through the trillion-dollar market value.
If you lose, you lose.
Just pocket money.
After all, people are divided into groups, even if this group of girls can only play the role of attendants, they are not girls from ordinary families.
After such a messy breakfast and preparations, the girls set off and took several limousines to the Daenerys Studios in Malibu.
This is today’s arrangement.
I have already inquired about it in advance, and a certain man has been in Los Angeles recently. Therefore, if you rush to Daenerys Studios, you might be able to run into it.
Even if you can’t meet it, there are actually many fun places to go to the busiest film and television city in Hollywood right now.
For example, Kim Kardashian has a goal to visit the live shooting of a sci-fi drama “Three-Body Problem” that is being produced by H wave and is said to be valued by Simon.
This is mainly because Angela Winston, the heroine of “Three-Body Problem”, who played as a girl, was scouted by Kim Kardashian before to push it to a man named Alexandra Winston. D’Addario’s girl gets it.
Alexandra is 14 years old this year, and her more watery appearance makes the Kardashian sisters inevitably jealous.
Of course, jealousy is just jealousy.
After all… they also have their own unique ‘competitiveness’, not to mention, there are many beautiful girls like D’Addario around men.
One more, naturally not much.
Anyway, since their mother had quietly instructed them to find more beautiful girls and introduce them to a certain man, thinking that it would be good for them, they did so.
Now, D’Addario can get such an important role as the heroine’s girlhood in an important TV series like “The Three-Body Problem”, which shows that a certain man should pay attention to that girl. So, their original recommendation is also considered a credit, isn’t it?
Also greeted in advance, a large group of girls arrived at Daenerys Studios and came to the parking lot in the administrative area on the third floor of the studio. There was already a female assistant in Assistant Simon’s office waiting here.
He drove the car this way, of course, because he wanted to chat with a certain man first.
It’s a pity that the tall and sweet blonde female assistant said that someone was busy and didn’t have time for the time being.
Can only temporarily dismiss the idea.
After some arguing discussions, Elizabeth and Ivanka decided to visit Daenerys’ special effects first, while Hilton and Kardashian agreed to take their friends to see “The Three-Body Problem” shooting.
Even in the film and television city where people come and go, it is inevitable that a large group of girls will be divided into two groups. The female assistant had to call another colleague, and each took two groups of people to their destination.
Inside a special effects studio on the first floor of the Studio City.
This is the shooting scene of “Three-Body Problem”. The related scenes are about the heroine Angela Winston’s experience of World War II when she was a girl. The specific scene is that the city of London was bombed by the German army.
In the new story setting, Angela lost her parents in this bombing, suffered a huge impact on her heart, and laid the groundwork for sending a message to the Trisolaran.
Even if Daenerys gave “The Three-Body Problem” a sufficient budget, it is obviously impossible to set up a real scene for similar war scenes, but to take the form of green screen shooting in the studio.
Even as Hilton and the others, it’s easy to see similar scenes, entering the studio and watching the performance of D’Addario and the actors who played Angela’s parents in the ruins of a simply built house in the middle of the green screen. A group of girls still watched with relish, and before they knew it, more than half an hour had passed.
At eleven o’clock, and after another set of shots, Alexandra Daddario, dressed in early-century English girls’ clothing, finally found some time to come over and say hello to a group of girls.
Even if the clothes are tattered according to the needs of the image, and the whole body is covered with dust, Alexandra Daddario, who has already begun to emerge, can still be seen as a great beauty at a glance.
At least, Paris is a little sour, and it is inevitable to make a few jokes.
Paris teased, and Kim Kardashian was tit-for-tat and behaved very close.
After all, it is a very common plastic sister flower show.
Watching Jin and Daddario chatting, Paris pouted, took a bottle of water from a small servant, took a few sips, and stuffed it back, just as she was about to say something, she noticed another set of shots in the field It’s already started, and when I look at it, I realize that D’Addario’s position has just been replaced by another actress.
After a simple distinction, Paris was a little surprised, and pulled her sister Nikki: “Look, that, is it Jennifer Connelly?”
Nikki also noticed the changes in the cabin and nodded.
The other girls looked over together.
Alexandra took the initiative to explain: “Miss Connery played my role in the youth, this part of the scene, is the kind of memory scene, probably similar, in the blink of an eye, the camera changes, the character grows up.”
After the girl finished speaking, everyone watched for a while, and Paris finally said again: “I remember, um, Jennifer Connelly used to be beautiful, just like Brooke Shields, now, it seems… at least not before. So amazing.”
Alexandra also nodded, but said: “However, it’s much better now, my agent told me that if you want to be famous in Hollywood, being too beautiful is not an advantage, just like Brooke Shields. , she has never been too hot.”
“So it’s calculated…” Paris looked at D’Addario: “You are so beautiful, it’s not easy to become a big star.”
Alexandra could feel Paris’ sourness, but just smiled and didn’t answer the question.
If there is nothing to rely on, after knowing Hollywood, D’Addario may be worried after hearing what Paris said, but now it is different.
For example, a little secret that Alexandra didn’t plan to tell the girls around.
This morning, in fact, she came to the studio very early, and was called to see the big man, anyway… someone is very satisfied with her body development.
She also gave her a Chinese name.
Said to be called … Ha Mei.
I don’t know what it means, but I can see that the other party is very interested. In any case, if such a big person can give her a name and say it, the girls around her will only be envious.
