Hollywood New Century - Chapter 382
“Simon, why didn’t you tell Thomas Tull the plan of the Monster Universe?” Zhou Lixian asked Simon in the hotel living room.
“The new “Godzilla” is still in the script stage, new stories, new plots, it is not a simple matter. Moreover, there are many big projects underway at Legendary Films, waiting for the new “Godzilla” When it is released,” Simon also said with a smile, after all, these monster movies eat too much of the Chinese market, and we will have to wait until China and the United States sign a new film import memorandum.
Zhou Lixian nodded. At the reception the night before yesterday, the cooperation plan for the new “Godzilla” had basically been negotiated. Legendary Pictures was responsible for the production, and Universal Pictures was responsible for the distribution of markets other than RB.
“Leaving RB today?” Simon asked.
“Yeah, go back to Hong Kong, “Superman Hancock” and “Black Swan” will be ready for release, and will come back to RB at Christmas at the end of the month. “Zhou Lixian is indeed very busy, not only paying attention to the Asian market release, He also manages many cooperative cinemas in mainland China!
After Zhou Lixian left for the airport, Simon also left the hotel. In the past two days, he not only accepted an interview with RB Fuji, met with the RB Tokyo Deacon, but also met with financial groups such as Nomura Securities and Mitsui Bank, as well as game groups such as Nintendo and Sega. exchanged.
“Come on, Leroy, take me out to relax!” Catherine Hills helped Simon to find a quiet single-family villa in the Setagaya district next to Shibuya these days.
Central, Minato, Chiyoda, Shibuya, and Shinjuku districts in Tokyo are all bustling areas. Setagaya has few people, not many businesses, quietness, and high greening rate, so it is suitable for leisure living.
The high-rise mansion in Roppongi Hills is suitable for Simon to live in when he is working. As for Lelesse, Simon asked Katherine Hills to find an English-speaking RB assistant.
As a college student at RB and a new beauty in the modeling world, Lai Lexu started to emerge last year, a placard girl, a traffic jam model, and won the championship of the model contest held in Tokyo and became a signed model of a famous magazine.
Simon also accidentally discovered this nine-headed beauty model. She is only 22 years old and has not yet entered the showbiz to play the villainous female roles that made her famous in her previous life.
In this way, he was brought in by Simon to become his assistant translator. In the past two days, I also understood how big Simon is.
“Well, sir, where do you want to go? There are many attractions in Tokyo, Sensoji Temple…” Raleigh suggested.
“Go to Akihabara, it’s not too far from here,” Simon said.
Rashid and Simon drove through Chiyoda to the adjacent Akihabara Street. As a characteristic RB street integrating RB animation, electrical appliances, toys and coffee shops, it attracts many foreign tourists every year.
“Anime, toys, electronic products, pinball game hall, maid-themed coffee shop,” Simon sat in the car, looking at the street scene, which is really RB’s characteristics.
“Lai Lexu, you are also half an idol artist. RB’s idol culture is really so prosperous?” Simon asked. After all, Simon is not a teenager now, and he is not very interested in these things. aspects of the economic industrial chain.
“RB’s idol artists are very complicated, and they appeared very early. The agency will cultivate artists in various places. Whether they can debut depends on luck and timing. There are more underground idols, and there is no agency. Performing in community theaters, gaining popularity, and attracting brokerage companies to sign and debut, “Lesser has been in the modeling industry for a few years, and he wants to enter the showbiz when he shoots magazines and produces photos.
“Most of the idols don’t have high income, and the source is mainly from the fan group, income from handshake tickets or group photos, sales of performance DVDs, etc. Even the popular idol group AKB48, the income of artists is also average, but the top ones That’s pretty good too!”
After listening to Raleigh, AKB48, this is indeed the pinnacle of RB group idols, Akimoto Kang relies on them, and his personal income is at the level of overlords in the RB entertainment industry.
“Like Korea, it’s an assembly line product,” Simon said casually.
“By the way, what major did you study in college?”
“Ah, I studied international trade economics at Kyoritsu Women’s University in Tokyo. Because I wanted to develop in the modeling industry, it took two years to complete the credits, so now I have been shooting advertising magazines and modelling,” Raleigh responded with some restraint.
Simon nodded, looked at Laleis who was driving again, and said, “Go back, there’s nothing to see here.”
Before long, the car passed the Don Quixote chain store building where AKB48 was located, with huge poster signs and girl idol posters, and it was obvious that this was the base of AKB48.
After returning to the hotel, Simon took Lalesh to lunch and then called Tong Liya, who was in China.
“What, RB’s office? The company’s business has not yet reached RB, but the subsidiary in South Korea is developing very well. Son Yejin is very famous, and the girl group inside is also very popular now,” Tong Liya heard Simon responded when asked if he had the idea of opening an office in RB.
“Why did you suddenly think of RB? Are you not in the US?”
Simon laughed: “I’m at RB, come over to deal with some things!”
“Okay, the company is also very busy recently, “Weakness” is about to be released, and BJ is preparing for the premiere of the movie, Nicole Kidman will also come to participate, and “Resident Evil 4: God of War” was released early last month. “Rising Again” also achieved a box office of 136 million people, which is very good, and now we are looking forward to “Weakness” too!” Tong Liya on the phone was very excited, the income this year is really too big.
“Okay, if I come to China, I’ll come to you!” The two chatted a few more words before hanging up.
Seeing Simon sitting on the sofa and finishing talking on the phone, Lelesh approached and said, “It’s nothing, I’ll leave first, call me anytime.”
Simon looked at Lelesse, with a twisted look, he pulled the girl over and sat on his lap. Black tights made her slender legs more delicate.
“Do you want to enter the showbiz?” Simon whispered in Lelesse’s ear.
Sitting in Simon’s arms, Lelesse was a little cautious and expectant, and whispered: “Think, the Platinum Production Office I work for is a very small office, and it’s mainly just some girls’ magazine models that I signed up for.”
“I’ll help you!” After Simon finished speaking, he kissed the girl’s mouth and hugged the **** the sofa.
Afterwards, he carried the girl into the bedroom.
