Hollywood New Century

With the Oscars coming to an end at the end of February, there has of course been a wave of press releases for the entertainment industry.

As the biggest winner of this year's Oscar, Xinghai Pictures naturally has the largest space. Riding on the east wind of the Oscar, the release of the film is of course to borrow a wave.

In Marbury's seaside villa, Simon leaned on the sofa in the viewing room, admiring the Pacific Ocean view in front of him, and there were a lot of newspapers beside him.

Compared with Beverly Hills, Malibu Beach is much quieter, and there are fewer reporters to deal with, Simon can calm down and think.

After a while, Anne Hathaway walked in after two cups of coffee and smiled, "Shouldn't the company have a lot of work? You seem to have rested here for several days."

Simon waited for Anne Hathaway to put down the tray, pulled the girl over to sit in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss the girl's mouth.

The lips are full of fragrance, and the two tongues are intertwined. Here, since the Oscars, Anne Hathaway has been with Simon for several days.

"The awards ceremony has just ended, and our results are good. Many award-winning filmmakers also need to celebrate, let them relax, the company is on the right track, and I don't need to worry about small things," Simon hugged the girl after the lip split. One side opened his mouth.

"That's fine. I heard that you've been very busy recently, so you can really take the opportunity to rest for a while!" Of course Anne Hathaway had nothing to say.

"I heard that you are going to take a break this year?" Simon asked. After all, Anne Hathaway is also shooting "Tai Chi" and another romantic film, which is not long.

"Yes, I want to accompany my family and have a good rest," Anne Hathaway said as she leaned into Simon's arms and continued, "Do you have time? I can accompany you to your thoughts then. Where to go to travel!"

"Hehe, look, I'm going to go to China in the second half of the year. "Tai Chi" is a project that the company values ​​very much. I want to follow up more," Simon said while patting the girl.

At this time, Nina Jacobson, the current head of Xinghai Pictures, had just come out of the Golden Arch Bronson Gate of Paramount Headquarters in a moving car on Bronson Avenue in Hollywood.

"Paramount is also laying off staff," said the assistant sitting next to Nina Jacobson, looking at some of the Paramount employees who had also left the door with cardboard boxes in the back of the car.

"All production companies are cutting production or lowering film production costs, and it's normal for Paramount to lay off more than 30 people," Nina Jacobson didn't care.

"Universal Pictures sold Roger Pictures under Focus Pictures to Relativity Entertainment, has it been announced?" Nina Jacobson suddenly asked again.

"It's officially announced, $150 million, and Rogge Pictures is now part of the theory of relativity!" the assistant quickly responded.

Nina Jacobson nodded. The major studios have their own various sub-film labels, which are responsible for releasing some independent literary films, as well as thriller horror politics or youth comedy and so on.

Universal has Focus, Castle Rock, Roger Pictures, etc.; Paramount has Paramount Classic, Paramount Advantage, etc.; Sony Columbia has Sony Classic, Mubao Pictures, etc.; 20th Century Fox also has Fox Searchlight, Fox Faith, etc. Pictures, etc.; Disney Pictures also has Touchstone, Hollywood Pictures, etc.

The days of independent studios were the fastest growing in the DVD boom of the last decade and the earlier VCD era.

For now, it's all gone, and the big studios also need a market for independent films.

Now, are there any independent studios? Also Lionsgate, Weinstein Pictures can have some appearance.

Is Xinghai Pictures an independent studio? Nina Jacobson just smiled at herself. Blockbuster after filming, there is money from the distribution contract, the bank loan, the company's own funds, and the money from Simon's own nine-headed bird fund. Now It is also necessary to add money from overseas investment institutions and issuing partners.

"After I go back, I will notify the heads of the various subsidiaries to hold a meeting. Taking advantage of the current momentum, we want to seize the low-cost film market. The investment of Venus Films and Aurora Films needs to be increased!" Nina Jacob Although Buson has confidence in Simon's capital, Simon will not foolishly use his own money to keep developing blockbusters.

The current source of funds for many blockbusters is mainly the advance of overseas distributors. Of course, Xinghai International Films' overseas distribution will only set up branch offices in places with high film market components.

Places with low content either form joint ventures with local distribution companies, or authorize local distribution companies to issue exclusively and establish long-term cooperative relationships.

"At present, Hollywood is actually in a recession. Many producers are trying to save costs, and many people hope to lobby the government to help Hollywood. We also received an invitation from the Film Association!" The assistant continued.

"Lobbying the government?" Nina Jacobson smiled disdainfully and said, "They probably want to use Simon's identity to attract more financial capital to enter the market. How can the government's 700 billion bailout funds have Hollywood's share? "

"Don't worry about it, we can't decide this kind of thing. The financial tsunami's impact on Hollywood is not that big. The major studios' ability to resist risks is not small. The big impact is only the countless independent production companies or directors. That's it!" Nina Jacobson is currently taking the opportunity to gather a group of creative script projects and producers at a low price.

Of course, the financial winter will not affect those high-profile Hollywood stars. If they have a market, they will get paid.

Simon Parker, of course, is more high-level, and he is very busy with investment, movies, sports, etc.

The acquisition of the Secret Dolphins has made Simon Parker's reputation soar, leaning on his plane seat.

Simon looked at the clouds outside the window, flew from Los Angeles to Miami, and now went to talk about the sponsorship of the Miami Dolphins Stadium.

As he tapped the table with his fingers, he recalled that it seemed that the Dolphin Stadium cooperated with the Hard Rock Company in the previous life, and then changed its name to the Hard Rock Stadium, but it didn't take long.

A mere hard rock, and he will soon be unable to afford the high annual sponsorship fees. Tom Garfunkel's ability is indeed good.

Therefore, Simon intends to let Tom Garfunkel come into contact with several big brands, even if the sponsorship fee given by some brands is lower than that of Hard Rock, it is acceptable.

It would be great if it was like the new stadium of the Nets in the future, and the authorized naming fee of the stadium is not bad.

**** Center Gym, it doesn't matter if the name is good or not. If you really have enough money, it can be called Satan Center or Hell Center.
