Hollywood New Century

Christmas is approaching, and there are all kinds of celebrations everywhere in the city, and Los Angeles is certainly not less.

On Pacific Rim Highway 1, on the highway in Santa Monica, a Corvette was driving, and after passing through Malibu, it came to the seaside town of Ventura.

After the car stopped at a beach house, Simon got out of the car and saw Ivanka waiting in the yard.

"What's wrong?" Of course Simon didn't know how Ivanka came to this small California town. After all, it was Santa Barbara a little further ahead.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I happened to be here from New York, so I asked you out," Ivanka just smiled and welcomed Simon into the room.

"Christmas holiday? Compared to New York, it's still warmer here." However, if you really want to spend Christmas, it's better to be in Los Angeles or San Diego. After all, it's lower in dimension and warmer, isn't it?

Ivanka stroked her hair, "I didn't mean to spend the Christmas holidays, otherwise I would go to Miami or Hawaii."

Simon nodded. Perhaps "The Apprentice Season 8" was being produced, and she was filming with her father at the NBC studio in Universal Studios.

Ivanka came over and put her arms around Simon's neck and said with a smile: "Anyway, congratulations on Xinghai's listing, the box office of Universal Pictures is increasing, which is very attractive to investors!"

Holding the girl's waist, Simon was also a little happy: "At the end of last month, I have read the 2011 annual summary. The revenue is very good, and the company has raised a large amount of funds in its new listing. I still have confidence in the future development momentum. of!"

The annual summary of Xinghai Entertainment Group is a complete year from October of the previous year to October of the current year. Under normal circumstances, the report will be issued in late November of that year.

Now that Xinghai Entertainment is listed, the revenue report needs to be made public. Normally, it will be made public after November 20 of that year.

"The audience rating of "The Apprentice" has dropped a lot compared to the previous years. Although it has been reformed, it is becoming less and less popular now. "Ivanka participated in the production process of "The Apprentice" with her father very early.

It can not only increase its own exposure, but also promote itself, which is very helpful for business expansion.

"The Apprentice is also a well-received program in our nbc. The early members were mainly ordinary elites, and then some members with a certain reputation were found. Now it just needs a bigger gimmick. The identity of the members must be a fuss. It is the most direct and effective. "Simon actually doesn't have too many ideas. After all, "The Apprentice" has been on the air for seven or eight seasons since 2004, and the gimmicks are almost the same.

It's not the same as a family with its own hot list like "Walking with the Kardashians".

"Now I'm going to make a new variety show, a reality show with the theme of the daily life of the ladies in the East District. I believe that many children of the rich can be invited to participate." Ivanka herself is one of the celebrities in New York. There is no shortage of such friends.

"The reality show version of "Gossip Girl"? The idea is still good. The daughters of the Hilton family are the best in this regard. "Simon has no objection, but there are still many viewers who are very willing to watch the daily life of the rich's children on TV. of.

"You think it's possible too!"

"Of course, you also have a lot of experience in reality shows. It's not difficult for you to show your life. You can submit your plan to the variety show department, and maybe you can talk to the producer of "Gossip Girl". chat."

"Okay, don't worry, we haven't seen each other for a long time," Simon said and kissed the girl's lips fiercely. During the listing of Xinghai Entertainment during this time, Simon was really busy and didn't take much time to relax.

The arrival of Ivanka, this night, but a crazy night, as the spokesperson of the American Dream, Simon Pike now needs to maintain his privacy more and more.

However, he is also the head of Universal Studios Hollywood, and he spends more time in the spotlight than other rich people.

The next day, Simon left Ventura and drove back to Los Angeles under Ivanka's glowing eyes.

"Mission: Impossible 4 had its world premiere at the Dubai International Film Festival, had its North American premiere last week in Austin, Texas, and will have a North American release this week," Laura Collins told Sitting Boss Simon in the chair reported on the work.

"I've seen the finished film, and it's really good. Paramount really got it right this time with Tom Cruise," Simon also praised. After losing the distribution contract of DreamWorks Animation, Paramount is now in the hands of The only trump card left is the Transformers series.

"There is a big red carpet premiere in New York on the 16th, and Mr. Summer Redstone invited the boss to attend," Laura Collins said, reminding again.

“We have a $45 million investment limit! And boss, you are one of the producers of the movie.”

"I haven't forgotten, let's go! After all, Somer Redstone's face is to be given."

Laura Collins's mouth twitched. It used to be Mr. Redstone, but now it's directly Summer Redstone. Perhaps the conflict caused by the negotiation with DreamWorks Animation about the release of the animated feature film is still in my heart.

"Thor 2" was released a week after "Mission: Impossible 4". I wonder if it can win this movie?" Laura Collins was also somewhat puzzled.

Simon shook his head, put down the script items in his hand, selected two, and handed them to Laura Collins.

"These two projects can pass, an anti-violence film and a large-scale romance based on a hit novel."

One is "Human Removal Project", which is handed over to Aurora Pictures; the other is "Fifty Shades of Grey" adapted from the novel, which is handed over to Venus Pictures for operation.

"Oh, according to the plan, these are all going to be released in the year after, and the cost is not too high, so we can give the green light to make money." One of Simon's important tasks now is to screen the film projects received by the company.

"Understood!" Laura Collins quickly went out to deal with it.

The profitability of Aurora Films is indeed promising in the future, not to mention the "Latent" released this year. "The Conjuring" will be released next year, followed by "Hidden 2", slowly opening a terrifying universe of conjuring souls.

"Human Removal Project", a violent anti-violence film, is also a small and broad series.

All anti-war movies have war, and all anti-violence movies have violence. I have to say, this is quite puzzling.

"Maybe Americans also need others to bring freedom!" Simon leaning on the chair looked out the window, a little dazed.

Looking at the output of Hollywood culture in this way, it is terrible!
