Hollywood Hunter

Accompanying for various examinations, notifying relatives and friends, and arranging meals and rest during pregnancy... From Tuesday to Friday, of course, I will continue to stay at home on Saturday and Sunday.

The movement was so loud that the media inevitably heard the news.

The news was officially announced on the Eaglet portal: the first child of Westeros is about to be born.

So it was another congratulatory blessing from all sides.

Discussions in the media are also very lively.

Someone analyzed the difference between Simon Westeros’s first heir and the boy and girl, some discussed how much wealth this child might inherit in the future, and some guessed what name the Westeros would give this child, so All kinds of things.

Anthony Johnston also brought his family from Melbourne to Los Angeles on Friday to visit his newly pregnant sister on behalf of the family.

After confirming that she was 100% pregnant, Janet quietly donated US$10 million to several children's charities such as UNICEF in the name of the Simon & Janet Westeros Foundation. In Janet's words, this is accumulating blessings for the little guy in her stomach, hoping that the child will be healthy and safe in the future.

Westerners regard charity as one of their own social obligations. Utilitarianism is also to obtain corresponding social fame. They do not have the concept of ‘a good house must have Yu Qing’.

Simon felt that Janet had this idea, probably because she has been insisting on learning Chinese in recent years. Women's current Chinese level has reached the level that can directly read the traditional version of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

In essence, he was an Oriental, and Simon naturally would not object to Janet's approach.

Because of her successful pregnancy, Janet celebrated her 31st birthday, which she had always wanted to forget. However, it only invited some close relatives and friends to enjoy a birthday dinner at the Dome Point Manor, which was far less lively than Simon's birthday party last month.

After the birthday dinner, the Anthony family who had lived in Los Angeles for a week returned to Australia, and Simon finally resumed work.

Janet started taking maternity leave directly.

Not working.

Maternity leave is only more than three weeks pregnant...

The pregnant woman is the oldest.

Who dares to object?

Fortunately, Janet has always been upholding a mentality of being superior. For Cersei Capital's management, most of the time he only grasps one general direction, and most of the work is safely handed over to the heads of the three subsidiaries. Therefore, the woman's departure will basically not have much impact on Cersei Capital's operations.

Of course, Janet wants to take maternity leave early, but Simon can't really let Cersei Capital go completely.

Cersei Capital, Cersei Fund Management Company, Apollo Management Company and Black Rock Asset Management Company now manage more than 21 billion U.S. dollars in total. Among them, the scale of the first two is about 3 billion US dollars, but Black Rock Asset Management, which mainly deals in low-risk stock bonds and fixed income investments, has reached 15 billion US dollars.

Although the heads of the three subsidiaries have been carefully selected and all have the top investment talents on Wall Street, no one can guarantee that once they have excessive power and lack strict supervision, these professional managers will do anything out of the ordinary thing.

There are countless cases in which Wall Street fund managers make their own claims and make investments without authorization, causing huge losses to the company.

In Simon’s memory, Salomon Brothers, which was not on par with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in this era, probably collapsed later this year due to the exposure of fund managers’ illegal bond bidding scandals, and finally a few years later. Disappeared in the ranks of Wall Street investment banking giants.

Janet’s previous work at Cersei Capital was partly controlling direction and partly financial supervision.

After Janet took a vacation, Cersei Capital quickly reorganized and established an investment committee. Simon, James Rebold and the three heads of the three subsidiaries joined together as members of the investment committee.

Simon assumed the task of controlling the overall situation, and James was in charge of financial supervision.

Cersei Capital's subsequent corresponding investments above the scale will all require the approval of the five-member investment committee to execute. Of course, as the controlling shareholder of Cersei Capital, Simon still holds a veto.

However, Simon's inner mind is actually to not interfere with the management of Cersei Capital as much as possible.

Unless it is a project doomed to fail in his memory, he will not deliberately obstruct the decision of the fund managers of the three subsidiaries. A qualified boss must be able to tolerate the failure of his subordinates. The main purpose of setting up an investment committee is to prevent the three subsidiaries from becoming wild horses after Janet let go.

In fact, Janet has not been so enthusiastic about the operation of Cersei Capital. Since she is pregnant with a child, she will definitely put more thoughts on the little guy in the future. As long as the investment committee operates effectively, this system can be maintained in the future.

Easter this year is March 31st, and the Easter schedule will start on March 22nd.

Daenerys Entertainment will mainly launch two films this Easter, Madonna's documentary "True and Brave" and "Children in the Cornfield 3" of the ambitious concert of the blonde last year.

If you count Universal Pictures, there is a "Crazy Night" with John Hughes as the producer.

"Crazy Night" tells the story of a supermarket clerk and a runaway rich girl who encounter two thieves during the night watch in the supermarket. The story setting has many similarities with "Home Alone", but this is not following the trend of "Home Alone" The film was also shot last year, and the plot is similar only because of the style of John Hughes’s consistent mass production.

Simon didn’t expect much from the box office of this film, which he hadn’t heard of, but the heroine of the film was quite eye-catching. It was Jennifer Connelly in "Once Upon a Time in America". The actress was 21 this year. He is at the absolute peak of his appearance.

As the time enters late March, it is not too far away from the summer vacation.

Simon these days began to focus more on a series of movies related to Daenerys Entertainment.

The following summer files, the four core films from June to July, "Batman: The Dark Knight", "Terminator 2," "Death of the Dead" and "A Few Good People", all of which are foreign cooperation films, respectively by Warner , Fox, Warner and MGM issued by several companies.

In addition to the four mainstream commercial films, Daenerys Entertainment independently released three independent niche films by Gaomen Pictures.

Because it is expected to take over MCA this year, this is actually a deliberate arrangement by Simon.

The distribution team of Daenerys Entertainment will complete the takeover and integration of Universal Pictures through the distribution of this summer file.

However, to Simon's disappointment, Universal Pictures' four films, "Backfire", "Jungle Fever", "Problem Boy 2" and "One Family" in this summer file, obviously do not have the potential to sell.

Sorting out Universal Pictures' 1991 film list, probably only the "Corner of Fear" and "Fried Green Tomatoes" at the end of the preliminary set-up were good at the box office. However, the North American box office of these two films still did not exceed 100 million in memory. In other words, Universal Pictures should not have a movie with a box office of over 100 million yuan this year.

The ups and downs of Hollywood studios' performance can be seen since then.

Therefore, it once again highlights how advanced Daenerys Entertainment has been in Hollywood in recent years.

In order to avoid or reduce the loss of Universal Pictures' film business in 1991 as much as possible, Daenerys Entertainment cut off the production and distribution plans of 7 Universal Films during this period. However, because most of the projects are already in the substantive production stage and many have been completed, the number of films left in the end still reached 16.

On Daenerys Entertainment's side, the three labels, which are determined to be released in 1991, also reached 23.

Together, the new Daenerys Entertainment will release 39 movies in 1991.

Fortunately, Simon had planned in advance.

Daenerys Entertainment’s own 23 films, 11 of which are from Gaomen Films. In recent years, niche independent films and literary films have repeatedly created box office miracles, but the overall structure is still limited, so they will not be against mainstream commercial films. The system caused too much impact.

After the re-planning, 6 of Universal Pictures’ 16 films were also placed under the umbrella of Gaomen Pictures.

Taken together, the number of films released by Gaomen Films in 1991 will reach 17, all of which are niche independent and literary films.

In addition, the number of films allocated by New World Pictures is 11, mainly horror and vulgar funny types.

The final mainstream commercial films are also 11, including films such as "Batman: The Dark Knight" in cooperation with foreign companies, and "Toy Story" independently released by Daenerys Pictures.

The three distinct distribution systems will become the main structure of Daenerys Entertainment's future film business.

With each distribution system, the scale of the film produced will be equivalent to that of a mainstream studio.

Although Daenerys Entertainment still maintains an open attitude towards external cooperation, such structural adjustments of its film business clearly carry a strong aggressiveness.

After all, traditional large studios usually release only a dozen or twenty films each year, and rarely exceed 30 films. After the adjustment of the film business structure of Daenerys Entertainment, the annual film distribution scale will reach as many as 40. With the capacity of the North American film market basically fixed, this will naturally squeeze the living space of other Hollywood studios. .

Simon will not be frustrated because other Hollywood studios feel the pressure. In the past few years, he has given enough easing chips. Next, Simon plans to personally promote the further integration of major Hollywood studios, reducing the number of Hollywood media giants to five or less in advance.

In this process, traditional large studios will definitely be annexed and disappeared. With the removal of restrictions on horizontal integration in the media field, media giants will gain more monopoly resources. It will become more difficult for latecomers to gain positions in Hollywood.

Du Mui Point Manor.

Today is March 22, Friday, and another week has passed without knowing it.

After Janet became pregnant, Simon would leave work at 5 o'clock basically every day these days.

As soon as he entered the Shell Villa, Simon saw that the hall was filled with a dazzling array of children's products, such as baby carriages, milk powder, plush toys, Lego blocks, piles of clothes, stacks of small shoes... it looked like a children's product. Flea market.

Passing through the ‘flea market’, Simon found a woman on the sofa by the glass curtain wall who was holding a remote control to control the toy truck on the ground.

Interesting appearance.

The toy truck slammed into Simon's feet twice, and there was a woman's dumb and charming voice: "Dududu, Dad got in the way of the car, Dad quickly get out of it."

Simon couldn't laugh or cry. He walked over and tucked a note on the hip of the woman who was lying on the sofa with only one head poked out: "Buy so many things, there is a mine at home."

Janet naturally couldn't understand the stubbornness in Simon's words, but it didn't prevent her from responding confidently: "Yes."

Simon froze.

Ok.

There are real mines in this home.

Sit down around the sofa, picked up the woman on her lap, grabbed the remote control in her hand, and the toy truck ran on the smooth ground again.

Ok.

Kind of fun.

Janet watched Simon ‘get into it’ quickly, and reached out to grab the remote control with dissatisfaction: "This is for the baby."

Simon dodges: "Don't grab, the baby will have to wait a few years, let the baby's father play for a while."

Janet's head rested on Simon's leg, and her little paw stretched out to **** a few more times. To no avail, she had to give up, but laughed happily.

After laughing for a while, Jennifer gently stroked her belly and asked, "Simon, what do you think our little guy should be called?"

Simon said: "What do you think?"

"I want you to start."

"I don't know how to name it."

"Yeah, Seattle or something," Janet suddenly laughed again, patted Simon, and said, "My kids don't call such strange names."

Simon also smiled and said, "How could Jenny tell you this?"

"Hum hum."

Janet didn't explain, but hummed triumphantly.

Simon thought for a while and said, "If it's a boy, it's Melbourne. If it's a girl, well, it's also Melbourne."

Janet clenched her small fist and smashed it over: "I will let you Melbourne, I will let you Melbourne."

Simon didn't dodge, and smiled: "You made me pick it up, I think it's a good name, Melbourne, Melbourne Westeros."

Janet hammered Simon again: "My child is not called Melbourne, not as good as Seattle."

Simon speaks very well: "Then you do it yourself."

Janet twisted her soft body and rolled around on the sofa, still looking distressed. After a while, she finally ‘compromised’ and said, “For a boy, it’s Melbourne, and for a girl, it’s Seattle.”

Simon helpless: "Don't grab something with Jenny?"

Although the female assistant was very dissatisfied with Simon's name given in advance, it is conceivable that if it is snatched by Janet, it will be lively.

"I don't care. She has the ability to come out a baby than my husband."

"If Jenny has a baby, I think you might kill me secretly in the middle of the night."

"No." Janet shook her head and said: "There is no need to wait until midnight, and I will kill you two together."

"Uh, really?"

"It's fake," Janet Detective came over and touched Simon's face, and said, "I can't bear it."

Simon breathed a sigh of relief: "That's all right."

"However, I won't let you go."

"Ok?"

"think it yourself."

"Don't think about it, you're pregnant anyway," Simon put down the remote control, lowered his head and kissed the woman's lips, and said, "So, as long as Melbourne is good?"

"It's so ugly."

"It's good to be used to it, who dares to say that Westeros is bad now?"

"Westero is not bad at first."

"In this way, you will read Melbourne Westeros in your heart a hundred times a day, and you will get used to it in a week. The power of habit is powerful."

"I still think Seattle Westeros is better."

"This happens precisely because you have read it many times in your heart."
