Hollywood New Century

"Bloomberg, it's interesting!" After Simon and Mike Bloomberg met, he really admired this guy, it's not easy.

Strong economic strength is not built. Mike Bloomberg has contributed greatly to the obedience of New York City's governance and the rapid economic recovery after 9.11.

"Catherine, make arrangements, get ready to go on vacation to Hawaii!" Simon ordered to his personal assistant.

Katherine Hills nodded, and then left the room.

Hawaii, Kauai, as the fourth largest island of the Hawaiian Islands, is located at the northernmost tip of the Hawaiian Islands, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. Compared with the island of Oahu, where Honolulu is located, it is less smokey. After all, Kauai only has a population of 40,000 to 50,000 people.

Simon is barbecuing on the balcony with Tong Liya in a beachfront villa on the outskirts of Kauai near the town of Lea.

"This time, Ms. Zhou was also coming to see you, but there are still a lot of things over there, and she can't leave for the time being," Tong Liya said while brushing the sauce,

"I just wanted to come to Hawaii for a few days and let you come too!"

"Is this house new again?"

"Yes, it's the first time I've lived here, and it's my first time to come to Hawaii. It's really a good place for vacation." Simon just has too many places to vacation. Although Hawaii is not bad, the privacy is not as good as some private islands.

"Beginning next year, you should have known about the new terms and conditions agreement for imported films in the Chinese mainland film market. Now there are many Chinese capital who want to catch the Hollywood express, and the development of the Chinese market has also provided assistance," Tong Liya said lightly. Lightly tore a piece of barbecue,

"Inji Media, which invested in the Sino-US co-production "Ring Messenger", is interested in Marvel's "Iron Man 3", and asked President Zhou to discuss cooperation."

"It seems that Yinji Media is not bad for money. "Iron Man 3" does have a lot of influence. "Simon has no opinion. Now the participation of Chinese capital is very low, basically it is to spend money to buy a name, so that the company name can appear in the on the movie catalog.

"No problem, the general script of "Iron Man 3" has been prepared very early, and there is no problem with entering the Chinese market on a large scale."

Yinji Media, Simon is of course impressed. The money was spent and it was put together by Disney. The Chinese filming is gone, but a special Chinese version is made to make the two Chinese actors miss their faces. And because of the full adult plot, it offended many Chinese audiences.

However, there is no such thing in Simon now, the plot of Manchurian is gone, and it is also possible to film in China. With the addition of some Chinese actors, it might really be a Sino-US co-production. After all, "Iron Man 3" will be released in 2013. By then, the prosperous Chinese market will make a big hit at the box office.

Tong Liya frowned and said, "I'm thinking about whether Galaxy Pictures can do the same. After all, this kind of movie with strong global appeal is very beneficial to the company's popularity."

Simon shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't need this, they are just a financing fund company, what is needed is the eyesight to attract investors. Galaxy is different, you want to deeply cultivate in the entertainment market, and now you mainly focus on It is to establish its own distribution channels in China and expand its theater chain.”

"Besides, when there is a good project, I will cooperate with you to develop a co-production film, a Sino-US co-production film in the true sense, and cooperation in all aspects of scenes, plots and actors."

Then again, the investment in a popular sequel like "Iron Man 3" is not small. Galaxy Entertainment is completely unnecessary. Universal Pictures will not give much benefit at all. All it needs is your investment to develop the movie.

"Well, it seems that the most important thing for us now is to seize the domestic market as soon as possible, and we really need to take it slow when going overseas." Tong Liya listened to Simon's suggestion. After all, it is still very important to stabilize her own territory first.

"Now, the film approval business is not going well. Next year's film approval quota is full, and it seems to have taken up several film quotas for the next year, as well as the review system. There are also a lot more people and capital involved. , it's more difficult."

In recent years, several batches of films introduced by Galaxy Entertainment relying on Simon's suggestion have made the company a lot of money. It feels a little uncomfortable to lose it all of a sudden now, isn't it?

"Develop film and TV well, and now Galaxy Entertainment is still very famous in China. The films and TV you have launched have received good box office and ratings, and I heard that your artist brokerage business has also expanded a lot. The cross-border business of Japan and South Korea has also increased, and the direction is right,” Simon smiled and reminded again,

"However, in the field of film and television, you still have to pay attention to Korean artists. Now I heard that Korean artists are making a big impact on the Chinese market, which is not a good phenomenon. You should always pay attention to the policy trend of your side. Artists should still use the artists they cultivated in their own countries. , pay attention to the reputation and virtue of the artist.”

"The main actors in our works are all from our own artists, or they are not from our own, but they have a good relationship with us. They are all from the mainland, and the supporting roles are a bit larger, mainly from Hong Kong, and they have a good reputation. , "Although Tong Liya doesn't know that there will be limited Han Ling in the future, the artists she has cultivated must be more convenient to use.

"By the way, Mr. Zhou Xingchi is going to launch a new movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", the cost is more than 120 million people, and Universal China Pictures has got a 30% investment share. We are more optimistic about Mr. Zhou's work. Now Bigao Group seems to be looking for a distributor in the Chinese mainland market. You, Galaxy Entertainment, can consider winning the distribution agency contract. If you can't compete, you can consider signing a guaranteed release directly with Bigao Group.

contract. "

"This, I know, but the works directed by Stephen Chow are very popular, and the competition among publishers is very fierce. Galaxy Entertainment has no advantage now," Tong Liya certainly knew that this was a sweet pastry.

"Issuing a guaranteed contract? Now many distributors believe that this movie will have 500 million yuan at the box office in the Chinese mainland market in the future!"

"Listen to me, Galaxy Entertainment should have a lot of liquidity now, hurry up to negotiate and sign a guaranteed issuance, 550 million people's famous coins can't go directly to 600 million people's famous coins, it is estimated that your biggest competitor Huayi Brothers will not give it. Better conditions," Simon suggested, after all, in the future, there will be more than 1.1 billion people at the box office.

Tong Liya's eyes lit up. Although "Tai Chi" broke history at the box office, it was an investment of more than 60 million US dollars. If "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" guarantees a minimum of 600 million famous coins, Galaxy Entertainment will pay for it.
