Hollywood New Century

"Everyone, in the future, Xinghai Entertainment will use Universal Pictures as the driving force for content production to continue its global strategy. The growth of the Chinese market cannot be ignored and will be a key goal;"

"At the same time, with the weakening of DVDs, online streaming will also be the focus of the group. Netflix Video has now started to produce its own dramas, and the big drama "Game of Thrones", which was launched last month, can at least add more than 400 viewers this quarter. million subscribers;"

"Universal Studios Resort is the focus of the group's future movie theme parks, and the upstream and downstream of the film and television industry chain will be fully expanded."

Manhattan, down town, in a hall of Xinghai Building, a shareholder investment meeting of Xinghai Entertainment is being held.

Simon talked about the future development momentum of Xinghai Entertainment to more than 60 institutional representatives or investors sitting below.

"Excuse me, will the Chinese market really increase film imports for us? Now that the U.S. film market is already saturated, developing overseas markets is indeed the top priority," an investor asked.

Simon nodded and said: "MPAA has negotiated with the Chinese side many times, and the new film import memorandum is believed to be signed soon;"

"Moreover, the box office of the Chinese film market is growing at an annual growth rate of 30%, and next year it will surpass RB to become the second largest film market in the world. That's why I started to deploy the Chinese market in the early years."

Simon said and smiled again: "As you all know, in Hollywood, I have become a big family!"

A joke caused a chuckle from the investors below.

"Then may I ask, now that cable TV has a large audience in the United States, will streaming media replace TV in the future?" Another older investor wondered.

Simon responded: "The rise of streaming media is unstoppable. The development of smartphones, tablets, and computers are all products of technological development. Enjoying movies and TV anytime, anywhere will be the choice of most young people in the future;"

"Americans have a tradition of watching TV. Streaming media will not replace TV, but it will definitely be diverted, and streaming media is not only for audiences in the United States. Our Netflix is ​​aimed at the global market, and in the future, it will be based on Different cultures in each region cooperate with local filmmakers to develop regionally diverse film and television content;”

"Also, cable TV has its own audience, and I think although there is overlap in this aspect, it is also a competitive model."

After an exchange and promotion meeting, Simon did not know how many questions he answered, future development plans, prospects for various industries, and so on.

In the evening, Xinghai Entertainment specially held a grand reception and invited many Hollywood stars to participate. The global box office of "Avengers" of 1.55 billion US dollars must be the annual box office champion of this year, and this can also be regarded as a celebration feast for Marvel.

The venue of the Sheraton Hotel in Soho Village, not far from Wall Street in lower Manhattan, was very lively at the party scene, with Hollywood stars and bank investors passing through it.

"Simon, No. 26, on the Nasdaq on Wednesday," Nancy Davis reminded somewhat excitedly when she found Simon.

"Good work, cheers!" Simon said, raising his glass and touching Nancy Davis.

"The media conferences in other cities are no big problems, right?"

Nancy Davis shook her head and said with some deep meaning: "Now Hollywood, Warner Bros. and Paramount can threaten you, Disney's stock price has fallen below $30. Last year, it was over $40. Movies The box office has a great impact on the stock price of an entertainment company like yours;"

"In addition to the strong expansion of Universal Studios Resort now, the most uncomfortable thing is Disney. As long as you can attract more people into Universal Studios Resort in the future, the market value of Xinghai Entertainment will rise slowly."

Nancy Davis said, reminding Simon, "Are you really optimistic about the Chinese market?"

Simon nodded and said with a smile: "You can definitely rest assured. Now is the time when China's economy is developing rapidly. Universal Studios is the first movie-themed resort in the Chinese mainland market. I worry that one may not be enough."

"That's good, I don't think your moves in Los Angeles and Orlando are big, just expansion, the development of the Universal Studios Hotel plan, and the big moves in Asia." Since Simon is confident, Nancy Davis also Not much to say.

"However, this year's global box office champion of "Avengers" has indeed made you a lot of limelight, good news!"

"By the way, Carl Icahn is also interested in your group, just to remind you," Nancy Davis said and left.

Carl Icahn, Simon smiled nonchalantly, just be an investor honestly. Could it be that in the future, Xinghai Entertainment will be reduced to the point of operating difficulties and heavy debts? Even the bankrupt MGM can't handle it. Simon definitely doesn't have to worry about it. Taking a step back, he said that he is fully backed by strong capital.

"Mr. Parker, can I ask you to do a dance?" Scarlett Johansson was enchanting and charming in a dark red dress.

"Black Widow is really sexy," Simon said, taking the girl's hand and agreeing.

Scarlett Johansson has always been deeply involved in literary and artistic films. A few years ago, she tested a DreamWorks "Escape from Clone Island", but the word-of-mouth box office was not satisfactory.

Then he returned to the literary film market, but if there is no commercial film base, it is difficult to increase the popularity, and of course the income is not good.

"Iron Man 2" increased Scarlett Johansson's influence a lot, but "The Avengers" made "Black Widow" famous.

"Thank you for the shares in Xinghai Entertainment. Unfortunately, the time is too short. I only raised 10 million US dollars and only bought 357,000 shares," Scarlett Johansson said regretfully. As someone who has signed several contracts with Marvel, Of course she has 500,000 subscription rights.

"Not bad, many people are only eligible for 100,000 or 200,000 shares," Simon put his arms around the girl's waist. Not to mention, Scarlett Johansson's figure is indeed good.

It's a pity that Scarlett Johansson just got divorced, and her ex-husband is Ryan Reynolds, who played Deadpool.

"The previous photo leak incident, didn't have a big impact?" Yes, Scarlett Johansson also leaked some private photos.

Scarlett Johansson shook her head and said: "The brokerage company has issued a lawyer's letter and done a good job in public relations."

Scarlett Johansson really hates iPhones, and the Marvel series takes the actor's personal image very seriously. Fortunately, there are many female stars who leaked private photos this time, and the photos of Scarlett Johansson are still safe.

"By the way, I know there is a high-end Chinese restaurant nearby. The taste is very authentic. I heard that it is a top chef in China," Scarlett Johansson said as she approached Simon,

"Want to try it together?"

“Chinese restaurant? Of course!”
