Hollywood New Century

"Avatar" opened on a large scale half a month after "2012" was released. Similar to "Titanic", "Avatar" was not dazzling at the beginning of the painting, and the first weekend North American results were more than 34 million US dollars.

At this point, the North American box office of "2012" has reached 120 million US dollars in two weeks!

However, Simon knows that "Avatar" is another blockbuster that can be screened for a long time. It has a record of more than 700 million US dollars in North America and more than 1.9 billion US dollars at the overseas box office. The release time will not end until August next year.

At the same time, when "Avatar" was released, Xinghai Qixing Film also released a movie.

That is, James Cameron's ex-wife Katherine Bigelow directed the anti-war film "The Hurt Locker" also released.

As an anti-war movie with a small audience, it is indeed discriminated against in its distribution, and Venus Pictures is used to specifically attack various movie awards such as the Oscars.

As for the propaganda point, that is, the female director Catherine Bigelow, and James Cameron's ex-wife, the movie was released at the same time.

The West End, Burlington Arcade, is holding a Christmas lighting ceremony. As a traditional British event, various Christmas lighting ceremonies and Christmas parties have been held every year since November.

As a famous commercial and shopping district in London, Burlington Arcade has a long history, and the annual lighting ceremony attracts many celebrities.

Simon Pike accompanied Emily Blunt to participate in the event with everyone. The Christmas ball is not only dressed as Santa Claus, it has a similar situation with Halloween, and many people will also be dressed in other costumes.

"Oxford Street and Regent Street have recently had large-scale Christmas events, marathons, concerts, etc. of various types," Emily Blunt's simple sweater and trench coat can not stop her delicate figure.

"Marathon, it's still naked," Simon smiled. After all, he's been in London for a while, so it's not surprising to see this situation.

Emily Blunt shook Simon's arm and smiled: "I remember Americans are always very open and direct, you always seem to be different, and many living habits are different from most Americans! "

"Well, more gentlemanly, more noble than you Englishmen?" said Simon, drawing his arms around Emily Blunt's waist.

Americans hate the so-called so-called gentlemanly manners of Britain, and the British despise the vulgarity of Americans.

"I'm not a noble, our family has nothing to do with the Queen's family," Emily Blunt also joked, and then changed the subject,

"What do you have in mind for Christmas and stay in London?"

After all, the British still respect the Queen very much, and they don't want to joke around behind the scenes.

"I'm going to have a yacht party on the Mediterranean side for Christmas, and I've already had someone drive the Polaris from off the coast of Los Angeles to this side of the Mediterranean, and it's time to have some private dinners on the yacht," Simon said, Kathryn Hee. Els has already dealt with it, after all, it will take some time to cross the Atlantic.

"Polaris, that's a 360-foot-long superyacht!" Emily Blunt of course knew about Simon's yacht. This was a superyacht custom-made by the rich before. The financial tsunami was taken over by Simon, from design to construction. It took more than four years in total.

When Simon bought it, the yacht had already entered the outfitting stage, and then it was renovated, and it took more than a year to deliver.

Simon nodded and said with a smile: "I have only used it once, but I have leased it a few times. It is estimated that the Polaris will pass through the Strait of Gibraltar in the next two days!"

The "Polaris" is rented out, and the weekly rent is almost 2 million US dollars. For example, during the Christmas season, the price will be more expensive.

Crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, from the Atlantic into the Mediterranean, Catherine Hills will then dock the Polaris in a beautiful harbour.

At that time, whether it is some bright streamers in Hollywood or celebrities near Europe, they will invite over to party.

"Simon, you seem to be too busy. I heard that you spent a lot of time flying around different countries this year." Although Emily Blunt is also filming and busy, she still has a lot of time to rest.

Simon squeezed Emily Blunt's waist and sighed: "Hey, how can you compare with your stars, your movie salary is millions of dollars in income, how many movies can you make a year? Come on, the stars come to the money quickly!"

It's not in vain that so many people around the world yearn for the entertainment industry. Hollywood joins countless beautiful men and women every day.

"You," Emily Blunt said helplessly, unable to laugh or cry,

"Mr. Parker, I'm just a young actor, and I'm all about making movies with your help!"

"The Devil Wears Prada", "Sunshine Cleaning", "Child Abuse Suspect", two of the three films are from Xinghai, and the other one is helped by Simon.

Although they are all supporting actresses, of the three films, one is a commercial film with high reputation and box office, and the other two are award-winning literary films with good reputation.

Emily Blunt is now a little famous, after all, it's not long since she debuted.

"Okay, let's stop talking about that, let's go over there for a drink," Simon shook his head, and walked towards the bar next door with Emily Blunt in his arms.

In 2009, Hollywood's performance bucked the trend. Not only did the box office hit a new high, but two Hollywood movie studios with a long history were caught in a merger storm.

Because of the high debt, MGM is collectively pressured by creditors to seek acquisition; General Electric, the parent company of Universal Pictures, suffered serious losses in the financial tsunami, and NBC Universal Entertainment Group is a means of returning funds.

Doncaster Group, a telecom and cable operator who wants to enter Hollywood's large-scale film and television media industry, is sharpening its knives.

But I didn't want to, I encountered the spoiler of the Hollywood upstart Xinghai Entertainment, which was born in the sky. Xinghai Entertainment is the perfect distribution channel and TV broadcast network for NBC Universal Pictures. In the same way, if you want to acquire NBC Universal Entertainment, you hope to go back to the old road of Summer Redstone Viacom's acquisition of Paramount with a small swallow.

It has been a long time since MGM has withdrawn from the Seventh Congress, and the six major Hollywood patterns have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The newly launched Xinghai Entertainment hopes to separate itself in Hollywood after just five years of establishment.

As the leader of the new faction, it directly challenges the traditional Hollywood forces. Of course, the focus of the battlefield is not Hollywood.

As a capital-controlled Hollywood, the capital game behind it is the focus. Doncaster CEO Brian Roberts and Group Executive Vice President Steve Burke, who is in charge of the group's media department, feel a lot of pressure.

After all, MGM was previously held by United Capital headed by Sony Columbia, and Doncaster was one of the four major investment groups. MGM’s current appearance has made Doncaster’s entertainment investment fail once.
