Hollywood New Century

Chapter 321: competitor

The match between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets really lived up to expectations and won the New York Jets under the watchful eyes of Simon.

The score of 27:36 can make the local fans laugh for a while. Who wants the fans in New Jersey to oppose the relocation of the Nets.

Obviously, the New York Jets and the New York Giants, two teams that are also in New Jersey, can be called the New York team, but the Nets can't.

After the game, Simon and Ivanka returned to Manhattan as soon as possible.

"Aren't we going to have dinner together?" Simon asked when the car stopped in front of Simon's Upper East Side mansion.

"No, I will have dinner with my family this weekend," Ivanka shook her head, and then asked again,

"How about you, do you want to meet my family with me?"

see your family? Simon shook his head and responded: "No, the company has a lot of important things to decide recently!"

Your rude father, Simon feels sick just thinking about it.

"Okay then!" Ivanka saw that Simon didn't agree with a loss in her eyes, and was about to get out of the car and leave.

"Well, let the driver take you back!" Simon stopped Ivanka from getting out of the car, then put Ivanka in his arms and kissed him on the lips.

"Well," Ivanka, who hadn't reacted yet, was gagged, and then responded with her arms around Simon's neck.

"Next time, have a chance," Simon said after getting out of the car after the kiss.

After another weekend, Simon finally returned to his turf, Los Angeles.

In the small conference room of Xinghai Entertainment headquarters in Los Angeles, Burbank, Simon is having a meeting with several high-level executives.

Nina Jacobson, president of Xinghai Film and Television; Adrian Alperovich, head of Xinghai Home Entertainment; Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios; Jason Brun, president of Aurora Pictures ; Ashley Brax, the head of Star Studios; and, of course, Sonya Roman, the executive in charge of the TV department.

Dick Cook is in the UK, and Chris Melardandley is busy working on Despicable Me, Xinghai Animation's first animated feature.

"Fake Marriage last Friday's North American opening weekend grossed $35 million at the box office, and word of mouth is also on the rise. It is a certainty that the North American box office will exceed 100 million, not bad!" Simon first looked at the film that the company has just released, followed by "No. District Nine is just as successful.

"Thor is also a success. Next year, we will release two blockbusters adapted from Marvel, Iron Man 2 and Captain America: The Avengers. Kevin, you have to pay attention," Simon reminded again.

"Okay," Kevin Feige nodded quickly, after all, the impact of Marvel Studios is really not small now.

"Jason, you can communicate with the Asian director Wen Ziren of "The Chainsaw" in terms of Aurora Films. In terms of horror movies, I still trust him more," Simon has always been concerned about the director Wen Ziren. Apart from Saw, the other horror films in charge were less successful.

However, Simon remembers that the "Conjuring" series is about to start. Wen Ziren doesn't know if he has this idea.

"I've been following him too. In fact, I like this type of film myself. Recently, I also had an idea for a horror movie, which is in the preparatory stage," Jason Brun was originally a horror movie lover.

Simon nodded, "Let's end the meeting, everyone, go and do your own business!"

Simon returned to his office to research some blockbuster plans from other studios.

Disney's live-action movies "Alice in Wonderland" and "Prince of Persia: The Blade of Time" are both released next year, and will restart "Pirates of the Caribbean 4"?

Because Universal's Fast and Furious 4 was not bad this year? In addition to the follow-up of X-Men Greece, 20th Century Fox will restart their old IP "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

The rest of the sequel movies such as "Transformers 3", "Fast and Furious 5", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" and so on.

In addition to the Marvel series, Xinghai Pictures currently also has the "Twilight" series and the "Hangover" series.

"The Hunger Games" novel and "A Song of Ice and Fire" need Sonia Roman to get the adaptation rights as soon as possible.

Still have to develop other original films, not just rely on these.

20th Century Fox will have "Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire" next year, Warner Bros. will also have "Clash of the Gods" next year, and "God of War" to be produced and distributed by Relativity Media is also scheduled for the year after.

Greek mythology has ushered in a small explosion period.

However, Simon is most concerned about Universal Pictures, of course. After September this year, Universal has four more films released, but they are mainly comedies and thrillers.

Next year, Universal has "Wolfman" and the historical blockbuster "Robin Hood" starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett in theaters.

Both were failed remakes, and the investment was not small.

Simon leaned on his chair and tapped his fingers on his desktop. After Dick Cook went to communicate with Vivendi, he was naturally known by General Electric.

Therefore, Simon formally proposed to General Electric the acquisition of NBC Universal. Because Doncaster also has this intention, it has now become a competitor of Doncaster.

Xinghai Pictures has achieved good results, and the Xinghai TV department is of course not bad. Not to mention the previously developed "Gossip Girl", "Modern Family" and "Modern Family", they have made a lot of money.

Moreover, this year, there are more urban lawyer fashion dramas such as "The Good Wife" and TV dramas like "The Walking Dead".

"The Good Wife" will premiere at the end of this month, while "The Walking Dead" won't premiere until November.

Just when Simon was about to open his computer email to find out what projects the company had received during this period of time.

Laura Collins knocked on the door and came in, as Simon Place reported: "Boss, Jeff Zucker, chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment, has invited you to dinner tonight, and Universal's CEO Jean Mayer and President What about Adam Ferguson!"

"Oh, Universal has a move?" Simon narrowed his eyes, and Universal's personnel transfer was still a bit big.

Jeff Zucker, who was in charge of NBC Universal's television network division, is now directly chairman of NBC Universal, a position previously held by General Electric Vice President Bob Wright.

At the same time, Jean Mayer is only the president of Universal Pictures, and now he is also the CEO.

"Understood, we will also go to a few more people at that time," Simon said with a smile. This is because NBC Universal is already in a hurry. General Electric has suffered heavy losses this year, and now Universal Pictures' performance is also not very good.

Both Xinghai Entertainment and Doncaster are going to acquire NBC Universal, of course, they must strive for the best interests.
