Hollywood New Century

In the mid-level villa in the Bel Air community in Los Angeles, Simon was putting down the newspaper in his hand with a displeased expression.

News Corp. slammed the current White House policy in the media, attacking Mario's various national strategies.

Fox News, NBC's news channel and MSNBC News, plus CBS News, are putting pressure on what is now Washington to get Congress to pass the new Intellectual Property Protection Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act.

The "Intellectual Property Protection Act" is actually not bad, and the probability is very high. The important thing is the "Stop Internet Piracy Act", which is strongly opposed by the Internet Alliance led by Silicon Valley.

Fox TV is now directly firing at the entire Democratic Party policy, targeting current President Mario.

"This Rupert Murdoch has clearly pulled me into the water," Simon certainly knew that the Stop Online Piracy Act would not pass for years to come.

The influence of the Internet is not worse than that of Hollywood, and the two are basically staggered and staggered.

But, fortunately, at least there are still some racial incidents in Hollywood now, and no one dares to speak out about black discrimination.

However, the idea of ​​discriminating against blacks in many bones is very strong, and many black movie stars such as Morgan Freeman and Eddie Murphy have been sputtered.

After a while, Kathryn Hills came in, reporting: "Boss, there is a big earthquake in the Pacific Ocean in the northeast of RB, close to magnitude 9!"

"Hmm," Simon looked at his watch, now 3.10 EST, RB's 3.11 earthquake? Where is Fukushima?

"Is Tokyo all right?" Simon asked.

Catherine Hills shook her head and explained: "I felt the tremor, but mainly in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima three prefectures, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant explosion leaked!"

"Our people are mainly in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and other places. The headquarters condolences." Simon has no expression, but the Fukushima nuclear leak of the little RB made him angry.

"Boss, I heard that many Hollywood stars don't want to go to RB for movie promotion in the near future," Kathryn Hills reminded Simon that some of the next blockbuster movies that Universal Pictures will be released will not be able to send stars to RB for the premiere. It was advertised.

Simon waved his hand and said, "Let the person in charge of RB handle it himself at that time. By the way, you can ask GRB Office to donate money, or you can brush up on the people's closeness."

"At the same time, Universal Pictures is also preparing a donation campaign, just in Universal City Hollywood, just leave it to the PR department. It is estimated that RB's film market will shrink this year. Let Laura Collins remind Universal International Pictures."

After all, RB is also the second largest entertainment market in the world. Hollywood film groups will definitely show a wave. This is the norm.

Simon then went to the company's Marvel offices.

The plan of the Marvel Universe is to release "Avengers" and "Thor 2" this year;

In 2012, "Ant-Man" and "Captain America 2" will be released;

In 2013, "Iron Man 3" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" will be released;

2014 is "Avengers 2" and "Deadpool";

"Fox owns the rights to the mutant system, and the settings of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in the Avengers need to be changed," explained Kevin Feige.

"So, we'll set their superpowers to be superhuman characters created by Hydra."

"In "Iron Man 3", we will let this pair of brothers and sisters appear to lay the foundation for "Avengers 2", "because the villain setting of "Iron Man 3" has changed, and the other choice is with Hydra Organization is concerned.

Simon nodded, "Iron Man 3" is a plan for the year after all, but Simon is a little concerned about the casting of "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier".

Winter Soldier, Falcon, this is also a member of the Avengers. "Ant-Man" actor Paul Rudd is not bad, quite an actor with a talent for comedy.

"It's very important to publicize the release of "The Avengers" this year," Simon not only cares about this, but also cares about "Thor 2", because the director is a female director Patty Jenkins, The one who directed "The Devil".

This is also the first time that a female director has directed a blockbuster of this level. No female director has ever directed a live-action film with over 100 million dollars. What's more, "Thor 2" has a budget of 150 million US dollars!

Therefore, the response of "Thor 2" is also very large, although Patty Jenkins said that he really wants to direct a blockbuster female superhero.

However, Simon is relieved when he thinks about the success of "Wonder Woman" in her previous life that helped Warner Bros.

"Understood, now that our Marvel Universe has become a climate, as long as we follow the general direction we set, it is difficult to have problems," Kevin Feige said and asked again,

"Any plans for Daredevil?"

Simon also frowned. He really didn't have any idea about this at the moment. He shook his head and said, "You can see if Netflix has any idea of ​​making a TV series. Marvel TV can also be used as a supplement and linkage to the movie universe."

"By the way, as the first superhero of Marvel, Namo MacKenzie, the sea god, has to plan as soon as possible in terms of live-action movies." Simon must take the trident in his hand before DC Sea King comes out. The King of Atlantis to shoot out is not.

"Namo McKenzie, ok, this hero makes a lot of sense, although there are some mutant aspects, but he is the son of Captain America and the Queen of Atlantis, and DC Aquaman also copied this," Kevin Feige said.

As for Marvel and DC, there are too many similar superheroes, copying each other and imitating each other, whichever one is popular, the other will definitely produce a similar one.

"When Sony and 20th Century Fox bought the rights to Spider-Man, the X-Men series and the Fantastic Four series, it was really a big loss. Now both of them are like treasures, and they won't let go." Simon is angry when he thinks of it. Although 20th Century Fox has now returned Daredevil and Deadpool, they were ruined by themselves.

"Kevin, like the iron fist in the hands of Lionsgate, the Punisher, the humanoid, the blade fighter in the hands of New Line Pictures, and Sony's Ghost Rider, they are about to expire, and they should be taken back quickly. Sony made "Evil" this year. "Spirit Knight 2", the budget has been reduced to 75 million US dollars, it seems to be worse than the first one, let's talk about it, the problem should not be big, "Simon pouted,

"Marvel's reputation is ruined, it's not good for everyone!"

Kevin Feige nodded earnestly and said solemnly: "I have been working hard in this regard, and I believe I will come back!"

After all, the current Xinghai Entertainment can also be said to be rich and powerful. It used to be weak when it was not acquired, but it is different now.
