Hollywood New Century - Chapter 438
In the Xinghai Building, in the office of Universal Pictures, Simon, who had just finished a meeting, came back and sat down and asked Martha Cosby to make a cup of coffee.
“Nancy went to Chicago?”
Martha Cosby nodded in response: “I went yesterday, there are recent large-scale trading futures for agricultural products, and Jiutou Bird Capital is also paying attention to the international gold price recently!”
Simon nodded and didn’t ask. Nine-headed Bird Capital was handed over to Nancy Davis for day-to-day management, and he also focused on venture capital and large-scale investment transactions.
“Has Adam left Australia?” Simon asked again.
“I have already left, and I have recently handled a few businesses in Singapore. The business in the East Asian market is relatively stable now, and is vigorously expanding the market in Southeast Asia,” Martha Cosby said after looking at Simon and said,
“We can actually do related business in South Asia!”
“India? It is indeed a market with a large population. Let him figure it out.” Simon must be most concerned about the East Asian market, after all, it is a key economic region in Asia.
“Next year is an election year, how are our people in Washington getting in touch with there?”
“Continue to support, the possibility of re-election is still very high. One of the senators of the group is the former director of the White House Office of Staff, who served as the chairman of the Presidential Arts and Humanities Council, and seems to be very optimistic about the current Mario,” Martha Cosby explained.
Simon smiled and said: “Now Xinghai Entertainment has a lot of influence in Hollywood, and they also know the importance of having a good relationship with us. However, our return cannot be less;”
“However, it seems that things that are too smooth are not easy for people to cherish.”
Simon put down his coffee and smiled: “Who are the people in Hollywood who are dancing now?”
Martha Cosby certainly understands what the boss means. Hollywood is the stronghold of the Democratic Party, and many stars support it.
To choose a dancer, you must have a certain influence, and it can be regarded as a little pressure.
“George Clooney, he’s always been interested in politics, and throwing fundraising dinners always raises a lot of money,” Martha Cosby was quick to pick a chicken.
“Is this guy?” Simon seemed to criticize him face to face earlier, and later, because of the Harvey Weinstein incident, Russell Crowe and Matt Damon were affected by sputtering.
Under the secret control of Simon, several former Hollywood stars have either disappeared or changed their films, and their influence has been greatly reduced.
“Go to Laura, George Clooney will have more scandals next year, and try to make it as big as possible. Mario seems to have received a lot of campaign funds through him,” Simon said with a smile. After all, next year is the election year. The news can be slowly fermented.
After all, the biggest supporter of Mario’s Hollywood consortium is Xinghai Entertainment, and no Hollywood star is clean. Laura Collins can let someone release something at any time, and let Xinghai Entertainment clean up the mess at that time, how wonderful!
“Understood!”
After Martha Cosby left, Simon leaned on the sofa by himself. If it wasn’t for the Democratic candidate who had the most advantage in Hillary Clinton, Simon really didn’t want to support Mario.
Black politics is inevitable, but it seems that this London incident has made the opposition between black and white even more serious. After all, there are really a lot of dead white people.
The development of white supremacists has been strengthened, and the confrontation should be more intense in the future! Could it be that the batch of black market weapons that he made at that time really played a role?
In the future, Simon doesn’t care how many black people or white people will die, as long as he doesn’t recognize black people raising their heads too much. It is better for the white leftists to suppress, or to die directly.
The confrontation between black and white in the United States is less serious. What is the meaning of life? Black people are already in a disadvantaged position. As long as there are fewer white and left virgins, there will be a lot less black people in Hollywood movies.
In the evening, Simon drove to Scarlett Johansson’s mansion in Tribeca.
On the sofa, Simon hugged Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting astride him. With a low growl, Simon, who was buried in the girl’s chest, raised his head and leaned on the sofa.
“So charming, no wonder even the magazines say you’re an international hottie,” Simon laughed.
With a half-pulled suspender skirt, the charming Scarlett Johansson leaned slightly tired in Simon’s arms, and joked: “You are amazing, this feeling is unforgettable!”
Scarlett Johansson gained international fame because of her role as Black Widow in the “Avengers” released this year.
The sexy, sharp Black Widow is very popular among movie fans, and the influence of commercial blockbusters is not comparable to that of literary films.
Scarlett Johansson also got 500,000 shares of Xinghai Entertainment, on the condition that the contract with Marvel Studios increased to ten.
After that, even if it is enough to develop a single movie of Black Widow, maybe it is possible to develop a single movie of Black Widow earlier, and let Hawkeye also join it.
After all, Xinghai Entertainment’s Marvel would not cooperate with Sony to help him develop Spider-Man in exchange for Spider-Man joining the Avengers.
“By the way, you should know Woody Allen well?” Simon asked.
Scarlett Johansson nodded and said with a smile: “I have made a lot of his movies, of course I understand, there is talent, after all, it is an international director;”
“You also know that the private life of a director of a literary film cannot be said!”
Woody Allen’s directorial talent is indeed indelible, and he often shoots in Europe. The European entertainment industry is more open than Hollywood.
“Why, are you looking for him to film? His movies are still good.”
Simon nodded and frowned: “There are too many commercial films produced by Universal Pictures now, either special effects blockbusters or youth romantic comedies and other less artistic films;”
“There are a lot of filmmakers now calling for cinematic artistry.”
“However,” Scarlett Johansson said with some doubts: “Xinghai Pictures was established in 2004 and acquired Universal. It has only been 7 years since it has won the Best Picture Oscar three times. Who would dare to say that Xinghai’s films have no artistry? “
“Forget it, let’s talk about it.” Of course Simon doesn’t care much about this, but Xinghai Entertainment has great ambitions, and Universal Pictures wants to become the absolute hegemon of Hollywood in the future.
Both business and art must be present, and next year will be the centennial of Universal Pictures. Box-office films must be present, as well as classic literary and artistic films. Simon really doesn’t like political films like “Hunting Ben **”, and Simon doesn’t like the previous award-winning “The Hurt Locker”.
However, Simon doesn’t care. Now capital is king, and Oscar has begun to decline. It is true that literary films do not need to spend special energy to prepare.
If you come across it, you will have it, but if you don’t, forget it.
