In fact, from MGM's cold reaction to DreamWorks, Terry Semel knows Simon's attitude.
However, in recent years, Time Warner, which seems to be quite popular in the film business, has to consider the cooperation with DreamWorks. Mainly outside the DC movie universe, Warner has seen fewer and fewer other big selling projects in recent years. The failure of "gambler Ma Huali" makes many senior executives in Time Warner tend to reach an agreement with DreamWorks.
Although most of his talents have been suppressed by the rapid rise of danilisi entertainment in recent years, Steven Spielberg is still the most box office guaranteed commercial film director in Hollywood. What's more, in recent years, the other side has a super big sale such as Jurassic Park, which is Warner's biggest expectation. Terry Semel and other senior executives also hope that their company can make some progress To some extent, we should get rid of the dependence on DC movie universe.
As for whether the dependence on DreamWorks will be formed immediately, it's certainly right not to put eggs in one basket.
In the party hall, as long as Simon doesn't oppose the cooperation between Warner and DreamWorks, Terry Semel doesn't care about anything else. He turns to another thing: "Simon, the Hurst family are quietly seeking to sell some assets recently. Do you know that?"
Simon nodded, laughed and asked, "do you want to buy it?"
The financial situation of Hurst group, which has been deteriorating due to a series of recent events, has to consider selling part of its assets in response to various investigations and lawsuits. Simon, who has been closely following all the trends of the Hurst family, is clear. The list of assets that the Hurst family wants to sell has appeared in his hands several days in advance.
Time Warner's first impression to the public is often the film business and cable TV. In fact, after the merger of time company a few years ago, Time Warner also owns Time magazine, sports illustrated, entertainment weekly, fortune, people and other well-known magazines with great influence in the world.
Terry Semel nodded and said, "now, of course, it's cheap."
In addition to newspapers, there are also several very good quality fashion magazines among the assets of the Hurst family. This is the goal of Time Warner. By winning several fashion magazines, time warner can further expand its category in the field of magazines.
However, many people know that even if the Hurst family can sell their stocks at the clearance sale, it depends on Simon westrow's attitude.
The westrow system has not slackened its attitude towards the closure of the Hurst group. This transaction seems to be a bargain. However, without the tacit consent of a young man, if you make a rash move, it is likely to set you on fire.
Simon thought it over a bit and said, "I'll send you a price evaluation document in my spare time. As long as your transaction price is within this range, it's OK."
Terry Semel listened to Simon's words, smiling on the surface, but pitying the Hurst family on the inside.
It can be imagined that Simon will definitely keep the price of the assets sold by the Hurst family to the lowest level. The most important point is that as long as the news spreads, as long as he does not want to take the trouble of the Hurst family on his own, the price offered by other buyers can never be higher than the upper limit given by the young people in front of him.
Simon's purpose is also obvious. He doesn't want the Hurst family to have enough money to deal with the current problems.
There are probably few things in the world that are more oppressive than the fact that the pricing power of the assets in the name of one's own family is in the hands of the opponent when they want to sell.
As they continued to talk, Terry Semel took the initiative to walk away, and other guests who had been paying attention to the party immediately made up for it.
Simon socializes with some people. Unconsciously, he goes to a sofa in the corner of the hall to sit down. The "waist essence" and "leg essence" who come here tonight are with him. Yasmin and Naga often stay on the west coast because of their cooperation with instagram, a photo sharing website for D girl, and the fact that they have not much work in the fashion industry in recent months.
According to Simon's suggestion, the two women also enrolled in some MBA courses at Stanford University. They also know that modeling is doomed to be impossible for a long time. Even with their fame at this time, they can continue their career beyond the age of 30, but their peak period will only last for a few years.
Instead of being photographed on the beach by a rising star one day in the future, it's better to consider other ways of retreat early.
However, the two women obviously didn't realize what a huge "retreat" it would be for them to get a mere 5% stake in instagram at breakfast two months ago.
With Simon's support, instagram began to prepare in April. Unlike the financial information company that B girl needs to spend a lot of time and energy to make products, the development cycle of instagram with relatively simple functions only takes about three months. It is expected that instagram will be officially launched by the end of July. This is the result of D girl's pursuit of perfection.
Now Silicon Valley, relying on the convenient YWS platform of igritte, doesn't need to bother to build servers and other hardware devices. Many entrepreneurial teams create a website in a week or even two or three days. Moreover, because the concept of Internet is becoming more and more popular, a lot of shoddy websites are able to get a lot of money from Silicon Valley's rampant venture capital.It is worth mentioning that a large part of these funds are spent on purchasing server space from igritte or putting online advertisements to igritte for website promotion, which further promotes the substantial growth of igritte's revenue in 1994.
Yasmin Garry and Naga Allman leaned on the man's side, chatting about all kinds of recent trifles. They thought that other guests would not come to disturb them. Simon's guests had already called them.
But soon someone came, and it was Cindy Crawford.
Cindy got another two minute appearance in Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight because the little character she ran over in the second Batman: the dark knight was very popular with the audience.
In the setting of the story, Mira Eisley, who has not yet become a poison ivy girl, originally worked in a Research Institute of a biopharmaceutical company under Cindy's role. Mira Eisley was kidnapped by the clown, Batman tracked down the clues, and Cindy, as a Batman's "fan sister", offered help. Later, Cindy's role also provided the clown God for poison ivy girl It's a laboratory that's been treated with poison.
Tonight, Cindy, wearing a white low cut dress, sat down on the sofa beside the coffee table, nodded politely to the two women beside Simon, then looked at the man and asked with a smile, "Simon, how am I doing this time?"
Beautiful women are always natural with a bit of pleasure. Simon smiles and nods, "it's very good."
Cindy felt the man's look and gave her a romantic look. She continued: "so, Simon, do you think I can go further to Hollywood?"
Simon said with a smile, "want to hear the truth?"
Seeing this, Cindy immediately shook her head: "no, I'd better tell you some lies to comfort me."
Simon was very supportive and said, "you still have a good chance of becoming an acting star like Meryl Streep."
Simon this words export, nearby two big goblins immediately very don't hold the ground to smile.
Cindy rolled her eyes. "It's too fake. It's not like comforting people at all."
There are many successful cases of model to actor transformation in Hollywood. Many actresses have the status of models in the early stage of their debut, such as Daryl Hannah, Kim Basinger, Gina Davis and Renee Russell, who was personally promoted by Simon to become the major female owner of Jurassic Park series.
However, as one of the most popular supermodels in recent years, compared with other models who intend to develop in Hollywood, her fame has become an obstacle to her transformation, because she is too stereotyped in the eyes of the public.
Of course, if Cindy's determination to transform is firm enough, and Simon's support, it is not impossible to become a leading Hollywood actress. It's just that Cindy, who is still at the peak of her fame in the fashion world, doesn't have this kind of idea. Simon doesn't plan to spend too much energy on her either.
As a joke, Simon thought of one thing and continued to look at Cindy, saying, "I found a model very similar to you recently. I'm still thinking about whether to let you go on the stage of Vimy. Maybe the audience will think that your long lost twin sisters have appeared."
Cindy pause, or take the initiative to say a name: "Shana zadrick."
Simon was surprised: "you know?"
Cindy tried to make herself seem less concerned, nodded slightly and said, "yes, don't you forget that I'm an elite customer, too?"
The fashion circle is like Hollywood, sometimes big, sometimes small.
Some news can't be concealed in this circle. For example, Simon westero recently selected a lucky guy named Tracy Goff. The other party has already made contact with the team of Weimi, and is almost sure to log on to this year's Weimi t station.
As for the less popular gossip, it's not a very absolute secret about the three mothers and daughters of Graff.
Shana zadrick, who happens to be one of the clients under the name of grace spatter, is 25 years old. She started her career late and entered this circle after graduating from university. She not only has a great similarity with Cindy in appearance, but also has a small mole on the corner of her mouth.
Careful observation, of course, there are obvious differences between the two, but if you make up, they can achieve the effect of twins.
In fact, it is for this reason that Simon has rejected Grace's recommendation to Shana zadrick.
There's no need for two angels on the stage to attract the audience's attention. What's more, Cindy is one of the spokesmen of the company. It's not a good idea to launch a "replica" to distract the public.
Although it has been decided, it doesn't prevent Simon from making fun of Cindy at this time.
However, although Cindy tried to look as light as possible, Simon, listening to the girl's plaintive tone, realized that her heart was not as relaxed as it seemed.
It's easy to understand when you think about it.The plate of the top model circle is so big. Supermodels who are hard to reach the top absolutely don't want anyone to threaten their position, especially supermodels with similar styles. As long as possible, supermodels who have already succeeded will try their best to suppress them. It's just like Naomi Campbell's relentless suppression of black supermodel Tara banks.
Women in this circle are far more intense than other industries.
Without Simon's support, Cindy can have hundreds of ways to make a model who imitates her style unable to stand out, but now, if a girl is close to the towering tree of westero, she can't suppress it.
Even the trial to enter Hollywood just now is Cindy's instinctive reaction after she has a sense of crisis.
Seeing that the small expression on the face of the goblin turned from resentment to pity, Simon was not moved. On the contrary, he said with a hateful smile: "is it better than eyes? Yasmin is much better than you in this respect. " Then he patted the girl beside him on the waist: "baby, compare with Cindy."
It's also clear that a lot of crooked waist spirits are gloating recently. When men say that, Yasmin Gary does not hesitate to throw a look at Cindy, charming with a little provocation.
In this era, few of the girls who can become the top supermodels are on the water.
In addition to her outstanding figure and appearance, Yasmin's unique and elegant steps have a high degree of recognition, and the girl's eyes on the T-stage are unique. Occasionally, looking at the audience or the camera casually, whether it's high cold or charming, it can easily stir the hearts of the spectators.
The real "look forward to life".
Originally still pretending to be poor Cindy, facing Yasmin's provocation, she suddenly gave birth to the idea of winning, but she hit the point straight, and her long leg went out to the man: "Simon, there's some noise here. Why don't we have a good chat somewhere else?"
Simon did not respond, but Naga Allman glanced at her, and then whispered in the man's ear.
Yasmin on the other side can't hear what Naga is saying, but he can guess it. There is a little more schadenfreude in his expression.
There is no secret in this circle.
For example, so and so played a one night stand on a certain day and place. As long as you have the heart, you can easily notice it.
But most of the time, because of the lack of photo evidence and insufficient news value, the news will only spread in the circle.
For this reason, Naga Allman and Yasmin Gary have always been very responsible since they were accepted by Simon. Other supermodels in the circle have no such restrictions, such as Cindy, who is actually a very open girl.
Simon doesn't have virginity complex. However, I don't know when he began to care more and more about certain things, and even has a tendency of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Now, Simon never takes her to bed directly. Instead, he arranges a physical examination for her first.
Waist essence and leg essence are the favorite children who often appear in Simon's side this year, so they gradually understand men's habits.
As a result, Cindy just hit the nail on the head, and Naga Allman did the same. She told the man about Cindy's lace with a Hollywood actor some time ago. She knew that as long as she said that, if she seduced Cindy again today, all the men around her would be indifferent.
