Hollywood New Century

Simon Parker, who had a lot of things in Xinghai Entertainment, went to London, England, to buy the Premier League club without saying a word.

British newspapers such as The Mirror, The Guardian, The Times and The Sun were quick to report.

West Ham, now owned by a consortium of Icelandic banks, bought West Ham in 2007 for £85m and included £22m in debt.

At present, the Icelandic consortium has caused the bank to languish after the subprime mortgage crisis, and the Icelandic state has gone bankrupt. Of course, it is logical to seek to sell West Ham United.

Of course, the Nine Heads Sports and Entertainment Company also has competitors, that is, the team formed by David Sullivan and David Gold, the former Birmingham owners.

Birmingham were sold to Chinese capital last year and are now targeting West Ham.

However, how could the famous Nine-headed Bird Capital be able to compare with the two people who started in adult magazines? After the Nine-headed Bird Capital directly shouted that it would immediately spend at least 50 million pounds for summer signings, this competition is almost impossible. Just a farce.

IMG Sports Agency is no stranger to Simon, and at Simon's request, it made every effort to acquire West Ham United, looking for a head coach and club managers.

At the end of June, Nine Heads Sports and Entertainment signed an acquisition agreement with the Icelandic consortium to acquire the Premier League West Ham United club for 105 million pounds, as well as the club's debt of 25 million pounds.

Because the Icelandic consortium only owns 86.5% of the West Ham United club, Simon spent £105 million to acquire a 96.4% stake in West Ham United.

"Another invasion of Premier League clubs by an American consortium!"

—The Times

"West Ham United may usher in a new rebirth. The owner of the Nine-headed Bird Consortium is the youngest billionaire in Forbes!"

— "London Daily Telegraph"

"Upton Park will have a lot more Hollywood stars in the future!"

- "The Sun"

After Simon Pike got involved with the Premier League, the British media reported a lot more on Simon Pike. After all, the current Nine-headed Bird Capital is extraordinary.

With the end of the World Cup, Simon has yet to go to South Africa once, but because of the memory of some important games, Simon has won 90 million pounds through betting. Prepare to buy a few more in the final final to win back the money for this acquisition of West Ham.

On the 7.2, Simon went to New York to attend the signing ceremony of LeBron James and the New York Avengers.

At the same time, "Twilight Saga 2 New Moon" was also released globally on 6.30. The North American box office in the first three days of the first weekend was as high as 145 million US dollars, making it the third-highest box office film in history, second only to "The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight". "Spider-Man 3" grossed $275 million in three days worldwide!

"Iron Man 2", "Despicable Me" and "Twilight 2", and another "Captain America: The Avengers Pioneer" will be released in late July, and Xinghai Pictures is still very strong this summer.

Similarly, with the Marvel series, it is also a blessing for Universal Pictures, which is a gold mine that can be continuously mined.

After the introduction of the final World Cup final, Simon earned a total of 120 million pounds through gambling and the insurance company's World Cup policy betting.

Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Simon's hilltop mansion, is throwing a massive celebration party.

"Simon, now Universal's projects are almost on hold? Are you really not worried at all," Nina Jacobson asked, and there was no worry in her voice.

"It's a little chaotic inside now. Let's talk about it after the integration is completed, and it's enough to have Xinghai Films' projects going on." Simon didn't worry at all, shook his hand at will, and continued,

"The number of films released by Universal Pictures will also be reduced in the future, especially for small and medium-sized film projects!"

Nina Jacobson nodded, and now serves as the co-chair with Jean Mayer, mainly responsible for film production, and Jean Mayer is responsible for the company's management and operations.

The current Nina Jacobson can be said to be side by side with Columbia Pictures chairman Amy Pascal.

Two of the six major Hollywood studios now have women in power!

"Simon, congratulations!" Hollywood director Steven Spielberg and Simon touched glasses.

"I didn't expect that Xinghai Entertainment bought Universal Entertainment so quickly." Spielberg and Universal Pictures have cooperated for many years, and Spielberg's Amblin Pictures was responsible for the development of so many popular blockbusters in the early days.

Until now, Spielberg's office has been in Universal City, a luxury office that Universal Studios deliberately spent millions of dollars to build.

Of course, DreamWorks has to pay a lot of rent for this every year.

"Universal Pictures has a long history, and as a world-class distributor, it is exactly what Xinghai Entertainment needs," Simon smiled. Play a world to come, failed.

However, Simon Parker, whose fame, resources and funds could not be compared with the founder of DreamWorks, directly acquired NBC Universal with Snake Tunxiang, making himself a giant.

"If you had joined Universal Pictures earlier, we estimated that there would be a possibility of cooperation." After DreamWorks broke up with Paramount the previous year, it first discussed the film distribution with Universal Pictures, but finally chose Disney.

Simon smiled. Of course, he didn't know the reason before, but after he joined Universal Pictures, he knew it.

GE was unhappy that Spielberg's asking price was too high, and DreamWorks had too much independence. If Simon was calling the shots, he would not have discussed it with Spielberg at all, and refused directly.

"There is a chance. DreamWorks is very capable in film and TV. There are still many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future," Simon also praised.

However, Steven Spielberg was a little helpless after hearing it. In the six years Xinghai Entertainment has developed, the films and TVs developed by DreamWorks are more successful than the projects developed by DreamWorks in the past ten years.

DreamWorks is not only incomparable with Xinghai Entertainment in terms of business, but also in terms of awards and reputation. It has won the Oscar for best picture three times in six years.

Not only Steven Spielberg was invited, but Martin Scorsese, Peter Jackson, and Francis Coppola, who was basically in retirement.
