Chapter 1361

Simon made a secret trip to park city this weekend when rush hour 2 was on.

Not for Sundance, of course.

Except in January, park city is, for the most part, a quiet town in the heart of the United States.

This is a secret meeting of directors and shareholders of blockbuster to discuss the merger of danielis entertainment with the video chain giant. Nancy Brill also went with Simon, which is the main force of the negotiation.

In the past, Denise entertainment has secretly raised its stake in blockbuster to nearly 40%, then raised it to more than 40% before reporting in accordance with SEC regulations, and then made the merger and acquisition plan public. Except for a few people who constantly emphasize the explanation, most people probably have difficulty understanding Simon's deep intention of acquiring blockbuster. Fortunately, what Simon hopes is that most people don't understand.

However, it is also conceivable that there will be another bleeding.

That's not the point.

The key to the success of blockbuster's acquisition lies in Washington.

The relationship between the westero system and Washington is in a honeymoon period, which is forced to be twisted into a honeymoon period, because Simon has been quite astringent in recent years, while the westero system has grown too rapidly into a terrible giant, and in the West where capital is king, most politicians are deterred, so both sides are at peace.

Simon has never let down his vigilance, and has been quietly layout.

After only one day in Park City, Simon continued his journey East, and the next stop was Ohio.

This time, it's for the private military division of the United States that most people can't remember its name. As the controller of this private army, Simon always shows up regularly. In addition, it's hard to avoid visiting Leslie Wexner's house. It's hard to avoid meeting Jeffrey Epstein, who was secretly buried by Simon as a backhand.

It has to be said that by making use of some of Simon's facilities, Epstein and his "lady Chatterley" are thriving in the high-level circles of Britain and the United States. As a result, the Uighur intelligence team around Epstein has collected a lot of interesting intelligence.

Leaving Columbus, the next stop is not the usual New York, but Washington.

This year's mid-term election campaign has become more and more fierce. Obviously, I have a deep memory of Simon's operation in 1994. This time, I was invited in the form of a private dinner in the White House, and the giants from both the Democratic Party and the Republican party attended together, which is not only to win over, but also to beat.

In the face of Washington's "hospitality", Simon had to give face and barely stayed in Washington for a day.

Meanwhile, the 51st Cannes Film Festival officially closed in Cannes, France.

As expected, hero, which had a good reputation before, won nothing, not even a consolation award. Since we don't have expectations, of course, there is no disappointment.

It's not just hero, but the other two films promoted by danielis entertainment this year also came back empty handed. This is also a feedback that danielis won the prize for crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon last year. Of course, it's also Denise Entertainment's initiative to give in, otherwise, if you really have to win the prize, it's certainly no problem.

The highest Golden Palm Award was won by a film that Simon can't remember. Over the years, the butterfly effect has become more and more serious. Fortunately, for Hollywood, Simon has been on the right big trend. Even if history deviates completely from Simon's current foundation, it doesn't matter.

Of course not.

As far as daenerys entertainment is concerned, Simon believes that his family can remain strong in Hollywood for at least 20 years. After 20 years, even if it's just inertia, it's OK to be a giant for 10 years.

Most people, very few can maintain a 30-year peak in their lifetime.

Of course, if Simon's 3G plan can achieve success, many things may change about time and space.

And finally to New York.

The weekend of box office week on May 22 has passed, and the performance of rush hour 2 has surprised many people.

Three days after the first weekend, the Kung Fu Comedy, starring Jack Cheng and Chris Tucker, still won $59.67 million at the box office despite its unsatisfactory reputation, which directly exceeded the production cost of $55 million, making it the highest box office in the three days of the first weekend of all films in 1998.

According to the three-day data of the first weekend, the box office of "rush hour 2" is expected to reach 90 million in the first seven days of the week.

In the past, it was only a phenomenal series like DC movies or Jurassic Park that could achieve 90 million. Unexpectedly, it fell unexpectedly on a Kung Fu Comedy with Chinese Americans and black actors.

In the past two years, Hollywood Kung Fu craze, as we all know, has continued one after another. The number of Chinese American leading role movies introduced into Hollywood has been beyond counting. When some people think that Kung Fu craze will gradually subside, "rush hour 2" has brought this trend to another peak.

With 90 million in the first week, can this film reach 300 million?

That would be terrible!

Simon knows that the first week of rush hour 2 was more than 100 million, but the total box office in North America was just over 200 million. Of course, it was still the most brilliant achievement of Chinese filmmakers in Hollywood.

At present, if there is no Jurassic Park 3 in two weeks, although the first week is not as good as it used to be, with Denise Entertainment's strong position in Hollywood, even if it can't make $300 million in the end, it will be no problem to make more than $250 million.

The problem now is that the market is only that big.

no way out.

Simon can't help thinking about it.

In the past history, after the new century, Kung Fu craze in Hollywood declined, and Chinese American filmmakers, or the generation of Chinese American filmmakers who broke into Hollywood in the 1990s, all failed. In many people's eyes, this is because Westerners no longer like kung fu movies after a while.

Simon doesn't think so.

In fact, in the 1990s, Chinese language films have laid a good foundation in Hollywood. The key is not that Westerners don't like them, but that Oriental filmmakers themselves can't keep up with them. After the new century, there are no excellent films that can be continuously supplied.

As for Chinese American filmmakers, they have been very active in Hollywood. It can be said that since Bruce Lee, Chinese Americans have their own place in Hollywood. Many years later, Lin Yibin, who created the miracle of "speed and passion" series, and Wen Ziren, who started as a low-cost horror film and finally became a key star of DC, are all Chinese American.

It's a little pity that Chinese Americans have little interest in fighting for dominance overseas. If they are like the Indians in Silicon Valley, they will definitely become a force that can't be underestimated in Western circles.

Don't say Westerners don't allow Chinese Americans to come forward.

If this is not allowed, how can there be so many Chinese Americans in the Nobel Prize? There is also the one who has been ridiculed very interesting. The American Mathematical Olympiad champion team, all Chinese Americans, has made the Chinese and Americans feel uncomfortable. In addition, Wall Street is also a gathering of Chinese elites.

In a word, it's the one Simon once thought about. There's a lack of aggressiveness in his heart.

Maybe it's a good quality for people who claim to be civilized, but... It's not, especially when there are wolves around.

Wolves don't reason with sheep.

The United States has practiced this rule incisively and vividly. The first reaction of the United States to the opponents around us is never to be reasonable, but to wave its fist. Only when it finds that it can't beat the opponent down, can the United States put down its sleeves and tie: "let's sit down and talk. We are all civilized people."

New York.

In the black car to Brooklyn.

Grace Clapp nestled up to Simon and watched the man turn over a copy of lady Chatterley's lover. She rubbed her face against the man's shallow stubble cheek and asked with a smile, "what are you thinking, distracted?"

"Aggressive."

Grace was stunned and then said with a smile, "who are you going to invade?"

Said, the voice has shown a bit of soft.

Simon slightly side cheek to cater to the woman's rub, mouth said: "recently no one is going to invade, has been, um, many days, feel better and better."

Grace blinked and responded, but she said, "well, is Jennie OK? I mean, two jennies?"

"Of course," Simon said with dignity, "I will never tell you that I was kicked out last Friday."

Grace immediately chuckled, after laughing, holding the man's arm tightly, with a little uneasy: "you, don't really start to have no interest in women?"

"What are you worried about?"

Grace glanced at the man's eyes, slightly relieved, but said: "it's very common. It's the most common in the fashion circle. Women have enough to play, and then they are interested in men."

Simon:

"Ha ha, I know you are not."

"What do you say? I'm not so confident in what you say."

"Because you are used to being surrounded by women, even if you have more homosexuals around you, you may not feel comfortable. How can you..."

"Oh, I'm relieved when you say that."

Grace smiles again and looks at Simon's novel: "how did you choose this book?"

"I've met a couple of interesting people recently. Remember."

The interesting couple, of course, are Epstein's two lovers. The reason why Epstein's lover, giseline Maxwell, was later called Epstein's "lady Chatterley" is that this poor young lady from the upper class of England helped Epstein get through a lot of connections with the upper class, including the prince of England, It's a bit similar to lady Chatterley's lover, in which the bottom groom falls in love with a lady.

Grace wondered, "well?"

"I don't want to talk to you so that you won't be too deliberate."

Grace glanced at the book again and said, "I've heard about it

"There's nothing to look at."

Grace nodded rather cleverly: "then I won't look."

The two chatted casually and arrived at elite's training base in Brooklyn.

The elite new year world elite model competition, which started in April, has finished the initial rounds of selection. At present, the final 64 contestants are undergoing intensive training in New York. When Simon comes to New York, there is no arrangement in the afternoon. Grace pulls Simon to have a look.

Obviously flatter the mind, hope Simon choose a few collection.

Simon's recent lack of desire doesn't hinder his eyes. Of course, it's nothing.

Entering the hall of the training center was arranged in advance. The security team of the Westeros family has been stationed here. Only a group of girls in close fitting sportswear are training in a hall if they don't feel it.

When Simon appeared, there was an obvious commotion in the hall. It was obvious that a group of girls with good faces and hot bodies looked almost like cannibals.

As soon as grace got out of the car, she kept a distance from Simon. At this time, she stood by her side and waited for the man to appreciate for a while. She clapped her hands and said in a loud voice, "OK, girls, let's take a step and show Simon your practice results."

After that, let the staff here arrange, grace and Simon sit down on the bench beside the wall, still keeping some distance.

Speaking of it, if we don't know the relationship between grace and Simon in elite, we can only say that it's a fool. Even many people know that grace has one more child, which obviously points to a super tycoon, so they even stir up many girls' special ideas.

If you can have a baby for Simon westrow, you'll never have to worry about food and clothing in your life.

Yeah.

It's not just about not worrying about food and clothing. It's just a step up to the sky!

Unfortunately, although Simon intends to have more children, no woman can conceive his children.

In addition to appearance and figure, well, Simon is unlikely to have a woman with mediocre appearance and figure around him. In short, Simon still looks more at the head. Simon wants his children to be smart rather than empty.

On the other hand, Simon didn't pay special attention to some things, but it's not unexpected.

Even if there are some accidents, the women will not let their little ones have more brothers and sisters for the sake of their children.

In addition to the innate brain, some of the projects recently set up in the 3G plan have already involved the field of human acquired brain power development.

As we all know, Simon also hopes to one day, through scientific means, stimulate the potential of the human brain to an extreme state.

If successful, it's basically an evolution.

After all, the human brain is obviously more precise and larger than the computer, but the ability of reaction and calculation is less and less powerful than the computer, which is a pity.

It can be imagined that if the development of human brain reaches an extreme level, coupled with the prolongation of life span, all kinds of cutting-edge scientific problems currently entangled with human beings may be solved in a twinkling of an eye.

Grace sat down beside Simon and felt the man's distraction again. This time, she didn't remind him.

It's hard for him to relax. Of course, he can do whatever he wants.

In fact, I want to sit next to him. Unfortunately, the current situation is not suitable. I can only look at a group of Goblins who are eager to try. I don't know which ones will be lucky this time.
