Hollywood New Century

Viacom Chairman Philip Dorman and CBS Group Chairman Les Moonves are now Summer Redstone's right-hand man.

Paramount is only a subsidiary of Viacom Group. Last year, Summer Redstone checked Paramount's performance. He would not let Paramount continue to discuss distribution with Marvel Pictures!

Simon can of course perfunctory in the face of Rob Moore's inquiry, after all, he is mainly a person in the production department.

But what should I do if Brad Gray restarts negotiations? After all, the previous negotiation had already begun, and it was suspended because of his own intervention.

On the other side, Anne Hathaway was chatting with Emily Blunt when she spotted Simon Pike not far away.

"Emily, is Xinghai Pictures' "26 Dresses" about to start filming? There shouldn't be any problems, right?" Anne Hathaway asked.

Emily Blunt shook her head and said, "No, filming started on 3.5, I haven't heard of any problems!"

"Also, there is no problem with another movie "Mamma Mia!" that Xinghai Pictures participated in. Ms. Streep is still the heroine of the movie."

Anne Hathaway nodded, and then Simon Pike approached.

"It seems that the judges at the Academy of Oscars don't like our fashion type movies very much," Simon said regretfully when he came to the two of them, but his expression was very relaxed.

"Simon!" Anne Hathaway hugged Simon and whispered in Simon's ear.

"Okay, let's have a drink. Although I didn't win an award, why didn't I see Ms. Streep?" Simon really didn't see Meryl Streep.

"Go home, I went home after the Oscars," Anne Hathaway said regretfully.

"It seems that many people are not very keen on this kind of party!" Simon said while looking at the crowd around him.

"Simon, Anne, Emily!" Nicole Kidman with a beaming face came over and hugged the three of them separately.

Nicole Kidman is also one of the film's investors, and is also a nominal producer, and Huaying Productions is also a nominal production company!

"United Nations Women's Development Fund Goodwill Ambassador, Australia's highest medal of honor, congratulations," Simon knew a little about Nicole Kidman's glee.

"I'm happy for the movie we made!" Nicole said, casting a blank glance at Simon.

"Let's take a photo together!" A reporter from Vanity Fair suggested.

Simon also has no objection. The three beauties seem to feel pretty good. Taking pictures with different types of Hollywood beauties seems to be a compulsory course in the future.

"Simon, are you planning to develop that "Life and Death"? I received a message from the producer Anthony Minghella," Nicole was actually a little puzzled.

"I heard Harvey Weinstein talk about this project before!"

"Really, Phantom Studio has indeed been in contact with Weinstein Films for a long time. They haven't waited for a reply, and now we have taken over from Xinghai Films!" Simon originally cut his teeth from Weinstein Films.

"Simon, why don't you wait until I finish "Australia's Chaos" and then make your "Life and Death"?" Nicole Kidman does have only one movie currently being filmed.

"Heh, "Australian Chaos" is developing in an epic direction. Are you sure you have a schedule?" Simon knew that there were various overruns during the filming of "Australian Chaos", and of course it took longer.

"Then, haven't you started preparing for the shooting yet? Maybe I have a schedule by then," Nicole Kidman said, seeming to be very interested.

"Well, let's talk about it when the time comes, the script is still being adapted, the director has filmed "The Moment", and you are familiar with it. The heroine he likes is Kate Winslet," Simon is actually inclined to Be loyal to the original, after all, the supporters of the novel are very important.

Nicole Kidman frowned and sighed: "You don't doubt my acting, do you?"

Just as Simon was about to respond, there was an exclamation at the door, and many people turned their attention to the direction where the door came in.

"It's News Corp chairman and chairman Rupert Murdoch and his wife," Anne Hathaway whispered.

"I didn't expect such a big man to come to the party tonight," Simon laughed, also looking at his Chinese wife Wendi Deng.

"Mr. Murdoch rarely manages 20th Century Fox directly, and does not attend Oscar or Vanity Fair dinners very often, usually mainly at 20th Century Fox movie celebration dinners!" Nicole Kidman is also Australian , make it clearer.

Simon smiled and said: "His wife is a little interested in the film industry. In the current Asian film market, Hollywood's eyes are only on RB, and the future Chinese market is the most important!"

"By the way, Nicole, News Corporation has a god-like existence in Australia. I heard that News Corporation's eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch, is invincible in the Australian media industry!" Simon suddenly asked such a question, News Corporation The eldest son is in charge of the Australian division, and the second son is now the president of Sky TV Europe.

Nicole said with a smile: "News Corporation controls almost 23 newspapers in Australia. After so many years, of course it's amazing."

Simon shook his head and said, "However, it's a pity that with a population of more than 30 million, how can it satisfy News Corporation, the largest market in North America, and the second largest market in Europe, is the focus of News Corporation's pursuit."

After all, News Corp moved its headquarters from Adelaide, Australia to Delaware, USA in 2004.

Rupert Murdoch is 76 years old this year, of course, compared to another Hollywood tycoon, 84-year-old Summer Redstone, still relatively young.

Simon looked over there. News Corporation had acquired MySpace social software before, and now News Corporation is preparing to acquire the publishing giant Dow Jones Group.

The Dow Jones stock price index compiled and published by the Dow Jones Group is even more well-known. The Dow Jones Company, founded in 1882, also owns the "Wall Street Journal" newspaper, which provides in-depth analysis and reports on the business and financial fields, and provides real-time financial reports and market comments. Dow Jones Newswires.

"Alas, News Corp is getting bigger and bigger now, production and distribution of movies and TV shows; wireless, satellite and cable TV; newspapers, magazines and books; advertising production and distribution; digital television; conditional access and subscribers Management systems; creation and distribution of online programs and social networks!" Of course, Simon envied a large group with a market value of tens of billions of dollars.
