Hollywood New Century - Chapter 407
The Rosewood Carlisle Hotel in New York is a 1930s building with a strong sense of history.
The one who accompanied Simon was also Ivanka, a New York socialite. On this occasion, there are many children from rich families like this.
“After spending a period of time in Europe, I really found that the United States is more prosperous.” It is easy to forget the troubles in the banquet hall. Simon laughed while holding Ivanka and dancing.
“It’s only temporary, and the economy will recover soon,” Ivanka responded with a smile.
“But congratulations to you. Now many people on Wall Street are talking about the plan of Xinghai Entertainment to go public. I believe there will be another entertainment giant.”
“Really,” Simon frowned without a trace, but he was relieved quickly, after all, this is no secret.
“By the way, did you read the news about Ben **’s death at the beginning of the month?” Ivanka asked.
Simon nodded and said with a smile: “Of course I know, don’t forget, our company has a movie about him being filmed, and now if he dies, we will reshoot the ending of the movie.”
“Is it coming out this year?”
“No, next year’s schedule!”
In any case, the death of Ben ** is also an excellent promotion for the film, and it will be released just in time next year. After all, it is also a major achievement during Mario’s tenure.
“In the past two years, the government has provided large capital subsidies to large enterprises. Many people in New York are not satisfied with the government’s support for enterprises without strengthening civil affairs support. Support has risen a lot,” Ivanka said.
“New York has Wall Street, so now they’re not satisfied with Wall Street?” Simon smiled, he didn’t take it seriously anyway, wasn’t it the Occupy Wall Street incident.
It’s just that it’s only May, and Simon remembers that the Occupy Wall Street incident is in the fall. According to what Simon has seen when he comes back, it is estimated that it will be earlier.
After a while, Simon met James Dolan, the owner of the New York Knicks. Regardless of the competition between the New York Knicks and the New York Avengers, the two are still very harmonious at the moment.
“Congratulations, it is estimated that the Avengers have a great chance of winning the Eastern Conference championship!” Although James Dolan’s Knicks results are not good, but Manhattan in Madison Square Garden is much better than Brooklyn’s **** center .
Simon shook his head and said with a smile: “It should be more than the eastern championship. My expectation is the league championship. The West is now the Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder. No matter which team we are confident to win.”
“Okay, let’s talk about the shares of the AMC TV network.” James Dolan doesn’t want to talk about the NBA anymore. The New York Avengers have had a great impact on the New York Knicks. Now there are two NBA teams in New York. Not happy, and the Avengers are far better than the Knicks.
“If you’re interested in recycling, just talk to the person in charge of the TV station in our company. I don’t have any objections,” Simon said with a smile. The AMC TV network was originally their family. In the past few years, it relied on the dramas of the Xinghai TV department. But the value has gone up a lot.
“I’m talking about a content supply contract, and I’m looking to sign a series production contract, a partnership agreement between AMC and Xinghai’s TV production division,” James Dolan explained.
“This is no problem, but the sharing agreement of the Xinghai TV department has to be redrawn. I am not very interested in the shares of AMC TV station in my hand.” Simon is a businessman. If he wants a content supply contract, he must exchange interests.
James Dolan nodded, and he really regretted that he had obtained too little copyright for the content of the episode, only the first TV broadcast rights, and the subsequent distribution was Xinghai’s own.
“By the way, does the American Cable Group have any interest in USA Cable and SyFy Cable in our hands?” Simon continued to promote the TV station.
James Dolan looked at Simon, then shook his head and said, “Our group doesn’t have much money now, but why don’t you care about cable TV stations? Isn’t the income of cable TV not big now?”
“Oh, no, the income is good, but now Xinghai Entertainment is focusing on the development of the Universal Studios Resort project, and the amount of capital required is relatively large,” Simon said casually.
“Netflix spends so much money on its own TV series, do you really think the online network will be able to lure users away from home TV?” James Dolan does know that Starsea Entertainment is now focusing on Universal Studios Resort, but the real reason Definitely Xinghai Entertainment’s online streaming Netflix.
The habit of watching TV in the United States is very profound, and it is not so easy to change.
Simon thought for a while, but still responded: “I just think that there are more cable TV stations under the NBC TV network, and I also need to consider Netflix’s content production.”
James Dolan didn’t care about Simon’s ambiguous answer. After all, the Dolan family’s American cable group belongs to some TV operators, and AMC TV station is enough.
After James Dolan left, Simon met the current mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg.
“Mr. Mayor, good evening!”
“Simon, good evening!”
After the two hugged, Michael Bloomberg seemed a little happy: “The Avengers have done well, New York has not had a trophy in the NBA for many years!”
“The Knicks won championships in ’70 and ’73, didn’t they?” Simon said before laughing.
“Yeah, it’s been almost 40 years, this time if the Avengers can win the NBA championship, it will be a big event in New York,” Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, now hopes for some major events Able to inject motivation into the citizens of New York.
Simon laughed: “If the Avengers win the championship this year, the city government will definitely hold a grand championship parade!”
“Then, the city government will definitely support the Avengers to hold a grand championship parade, and there is no need to worry about the cost of funds,” Michael Bloomberg waved his hand, and the city government is not short of this money.
“Don’t worry, the Bulls are definitely not our opponents. The Thunder in the West should not be able to win the Mavericks. In this year’s finals, if nothing else happens, our New York Avengers will play against the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks’ current lineup, we are Very confident,” Simon said to Michael Bloomberg with some seriousness.
As for, like in the previous life, the Mavericks relied on Dirk Nowitzki’s anti-sky performance to win the Avengers in the finals like they beat the Heat? Probably not. Although the Heat had three giants at that time, but now the Avengers are strong and add LeBron James, can they be overturned by the Mavericks?
No way!
