Hollywood New Century - Chapter 412

“Boss, it’s time to go to the meeting to discuss the company’s listing.” Simon, who had been busy all morning, was reported by his assistant to the next itinerary.

Pressing his temples with his fingers, he just discussed the “Wolf of Wall Street” project with the production department.

Simon bought the rights to adapt the novel The Wolf of Wall Street a few years ago, but since Leonardo DiCaprio was very interested in the novel, he persuaded director Martin Scorsese to do so. Steiner, the project was handed over to his Appian Road production company to be responsible for development.

In the past few years, the Appian Road Production Company has found someone to adapt the script, but the entire novel is almost full of desire, enjoyment, etc. about the dark style of Wall Street.

Completely abandoning mainstream thinking and hoping for a budget close to $100 million, Jordan Belfort named “The Wolf of Wall Street”, but at best he is just a small character who is not in the mainstream of Wall Street.

“If it was made according to Martin Scorsese’s ideas, the movie would be rated NC-17. Which mainstream company would invest such a large amount of money to make such an anti-mainstream film,” Alan Horn gave after reading the script. evaluation of.

Not only Alan Horn, but also other high-level executives feel that it is not good, especially now that Universal Studios Resort is trying to attract the attention of family members.

The preparations at the beginning of the year were not smooth. Now Simon is back and let Simon make a decision. However, Martin Scorsese went back to making the Hugo movie.

Although Simon agreed to support, he also found director Ridley Scott, but he was also shooting the alien prequel “Prometheus”.

The project has been put on hold again, and the budget given by Universal is at most 80 million US dollars, and the highest level can only be R-rated. After all, the description of the novel cannot be changed beyond recognition.

However, now the listing plan prepared by Xinghai Entertainment is about to start, and the listing on Nasdaq is what many people expect.

There is no need for Simon to worry too much about preparing materials, business reports, finding distributors, etc.

“According to our company’s procedures, the bell can be ringed on the Nasdaq for at most half a year,” said Mark Hornsshu, the group’s chief financial officer, and took another look at Simon,

“With **** and Wells Fargo as agency distributors, with the current performance of our Galaxy Entertainment, there is no problem.”

Simon nodded and said, “Let’s follow the plan. The company’s IPO is also something to be happy about.”

NBC TV Group, Universal Pictures Entertainment Group, Universal Studios Resort Group, Star Records Group, Netflix Streaming Media, and Xinghai Interactive Network Group constitute the Xinghai Entertainment business unit.

At night, Simon drove an Audi R8 GT by himself to Santa Monica to meet Jessica Alba.

With the arrival of summer, Los Angeles seems to be getting hotter during the day. Santa Monica, as a small seaside town, feels very comfortable in the humid Pacific monsoon.

Jessica Alba bought a private yacht of more than 30 feet at the beginning of the year and specially invited Simon to go to sea.

“Well, I’ll enjoy it.” After Simon got on the yacht, he didn’t seem to have a yacht yet on the west coast. It was a mistake.

“It’s okay, but I can’t compare to you, I’m a small yacht,” Jessica Alba and Simon are standing on the deck together, blowing the Pacific Ocean breeze, so comfortable.

“The development of the company is very good now, and there are several funds that want to invest.” Jessica Alba now runs the company as the main business, and the acting career is a sideline.

“Well, you sell products such as infants and children. Quality and word of mouth are very important, and the market is quite large.” Simon didn’t care much, and didn’t pay much attention to it.

“I know, I also like some children’s movies or animation dubbing when I take on the show. I am planning to increase my reputation in the children’s market, which is also good for the company’s publicity,” Jessica Alba still has some brains.

Simon looked at her, then went to sit on the sofa, and said with a smile, “Don’t you just want to spend the night with me on this yacht?”

“I have news for you,” Jessica Alba sat down beside Simon, looking mysteriously.

“Remember Richard Gere?”

“Richard Gere?” Simon frowned unconsciously, wasn’t this **** driven to Europe? Dare to go back to Hollywood, who dares to offend himself because of him?

“He’s in Australia, and one of my company’s partners is an Australian billionaire named James Parker, who runs TV stations, film companies, casinos and investment companies,” Jessica Alba explained slowly.

“Richard Gere went to Europe and didn’t get any chance, so he went to Australia to try his luck and owed a lot of debts in the casino;”

“It just so happened that the casino was owned by Crown Entertainment, which was run by James Parker. He seemed to know Richard Gere as well, and asked me if it was possible for Richard Gere to make a film to pay off the debt.”

“How did you answer?” Simon asked again.

“Of course tell him it’s best not to. He has formed a film production company with people from Hollywood before, and he also has an idea to get a share of the pie in Hollywood!” Jessica Alba laughed.

“This guy is really amazing. The original tax evasion didn’t send him to prison, but he went to Australia to gamble.” Simon laughed out loud at this incident.

“He hasn’t had a good time in the past few years, and it’s hard to get opportunities to get some low-budget bad movie roles that can’t go into theaters,” Jessica Alba reminded again.

Simon looked at Jessica Alba in a **** bikini, casually dressed in a thin gauze, and hugged the girl into his arms.

“I think there is a place that suits him very well. After all, it is a veteran star, and some people know it,” Simon exhaled in the girl’s ear with a weird smile, and rubbed the girl’s provocative body.

“Where?” Jessica Alba asked softly.

“San Fernando,” Simon laughed.

“Ah, the San Fernando Valley, that place,” Jessica Alba opened her mouth in surprise. That’s America’s adult film base.

It would be unimaginable if Richard Gere really went there.

“Just remind that James Parker that I hate Richard Gere so much,” Simon also thought, and since James Parker told Jessica Alba, an investment partner at Honesty, it’s not hard to find out own identity.

Is it impossible to get Simon Pike’s friendship with the little things?

“Well, I get it!” Jessica Alba put her arms around Simon’s neck and kissed her lips.

On the quiet yacht under the moonlight, it will soon be on fire!
