Hollywood New Century - Chapter 415

The New York Avengers won the 2010-2011 NBA championship, which is certainly good news for Simon. The team management soon began to discuss the preparations for the championship parade with the city government.

The championship ring was also made by a Cartier jewelry designer. In short, this championship must be beautiful. After all, the new New York Avengers need to create their own team culture and strive for a sense of belonging among New York City fans in order to better integrate into the city culture.

The celebration of the New York Avengers began after the game that night, and various celebration parties were overwhelmed. With Simon’s will to celebrate, the Avengers management also celebrated with fans in different ways.

In Lower Manhattan, the Xinghai Building in Tribeca, Simon’s penthouse, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Hudson River.

Simon, half-reclined on the couch, was chatting on the phone with Avengers master Bob Meyers about the team’s upcoming championship parade and other festivities.

“Don’t worry about the money, the government can provide part of it, and we will pay for the rest ourselves. We finally brought an NBA championship trophy to New York. It is when we are building the club’s heritage, so don’t worry about funding,” Simon said on the phone. Inside said.

“Okay, the Champions Parade is scheduled to start at 8:00 am on the 17th, starting from **** Center Court, crossing the Brooklyn Bridge and entering Manhattan’s Broadway, the main celebration is on Broadway!”

“OK!”

Simon hung up the phone after he finished speaking. The 17th happened to be this Friday, and there were still three days left. It was almost the end.

“What’s the matter, the time for the parade is set?” Anne Hathaway, who was playing with her mobile phone in Simon’s arms, raised her head and asked.

“It’s set, the 17th,” Simon said, looking at the iPhone in Anne Hathaway’s hand and reminded.

“This kind of smartphone, the account is easy to be stolen, don’t put some private things in it!”

“Uh, private photos?” Anne Hathaway froze for a moment, then smiled again,

“I know, there are no private photos in it, just life photos.”

“That’s good, the Apple account is very unsafe.” Simon’s own privacy is guaranteed very well, and the mobile phone he uses will basically be replaced in half a year.

“By the way, is that “The Line of Happiness behind the Dark Clouds” finished?” Simon asked again.

“It’s over,” Anne Hathaway asked with some anticipation when she was satisfied with the film.

“This novel is very good, and I think my acting is also very good. Is it possible to win at the Oscars?”

Anne Hathaway has a commercial film “Thor” series addition, and now hopes to gain something in the literary film, the idea of ​​​​the Oscar winner is definitely there.

“Oh, it won’t be released until next year? Is it too early to think about it now? We still have to wait for the film’s reputation and influence to be released, and then operate it properly, just like Natalie Portman’s team in “Black Swan” “The operation and promotion, one after another, won the Oscar for Best Actress, isn’t it very unexpected!” Simon explained.

Anne Hathaway said with disgust: “She used a stand-in in the movie and didn’t admit it, and she was pregnant during the filming!”

“Beautiful actresses are generally difficult to win awards. Last year, Natalie Portman’s competitors were not very good, and her performance in ‘Black Swan’ was okay,” Simon didn’t say that even Blake Lay Foley was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

“Those judges at the Film Academy are really tough,” Anne Hathaway frowned.

“Okay, isn’t there any reshoots for Thor 2?”

Anne Hathaway shook her head, seemingly unannounced. However, compared to “Thor 1”, the sequel “Thor 2” directed by female director Patty Jenkins has a much stronger story.

“Xinghai Entertainment will be listed at the end of the year. I will give you some original shares at a low price. Just remember to buy it at that time. In the future, I will make Xinghai Entertainment a world-class giant media group,” Simon said, reaching out to Anne Heather Inside Wei’s oversized T-shirt.

At this moment, Anne Hathaway is casually wearing a pair of hot pants and a loose women’s T-shirt.

“Okay!” Anne Hathaway was of course happy to hear that Xinghai Entertainment was going to be listed and could get some original shares. Now who knows the strength of Xinghai Entertainment.

Immediately, Anne Hathaway straddled Simon, took off her loose T-shirt, and leaned down.

At the same time, the Marvel movie “X-Men: First Class” released by 20th Century Fox was released in 3,700 theaters in North America, and achieved a $55 million opening score.

Compared with the previously released “Wolverine”, the results are worse, but this is a restarted X-Men series after all. For 20th Century Fox, which lacks IP, the X-Men series must not be given up.

Los Angeles, Burbank, at the headquarters of Disney Studios.

Disney chairman Robert Iger is in talks with Lucasfilm head George Lucas about the Star Wars franchise.

“George, Star Wars VII should be considered,” said Robert Iger, feeling overwhelmed by Disney’s heavy losses last year.

“The previous “Star Wars” trilogy has a bad reputation, and the previous “Star Wars” trilogy is much worse than the previous “Star Wars” trilogy, and now the script for the seventh part is being prepared, “Actually, George Luca Si had planned to retire, and the CEO of Lucasfilm had also chosen a successor, but he was still reluctant to part with the “Star Wars” series.

Robert Iger certainly knew that George Lucas was interested in letting Steven Spielberg’s production partner Kathryn Kennedy take over Lucasfilm. However, now that Disney has purchased Lucasfilm at such a high price, it can only license IP, and the distribution rights of the six “Star Wars” series are in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox.

Twentieth Century Fox owns the theatrical projections, home entertainment, and distribution rights for television networks, and most of the profits are owned by others.

“George, as you know, after the sale of Miramax, Disney’s live-action film business is doing poorly now, and it’s supported by the Pirates of the Caribbean series, and the Star Wars sequel must be restarted as soon as possible,” Robert Iger now Very disappointed with Disney’s live-action movies. After losing Miramax, Disney’s live-action movies seem to be insulated from word of mouth and box office.

George Lucas’ face was obviously a little unhappy, but he held it back. Now Lucasfilm is owned by Disney.

“I will let Kathleen Kennedy take over the company as soon as possible and speed up the preparations!”

This time, George Lucas and Robert Iger were not a perfect meeting.
