Chapter 1581

Simon arrived at the melisandra party at the top bar of Sunset Tower Hotel. It was more than 10 o'clock at night. The atmosphere at the party was still hot.

I didn't go to San Francisco this afternoon.

She was stopped by Janet, changed her direction and headed east. She drove a military cross-country modified by the Weijia security team all the way to the Gobi in eastern California. Janet's co pilot followed Chen Qing, who was driving another car, with two Black Hawk helicopters on her head to ensure safety.

All the way to Vegas, after dinner, he continued to drive back, no more racing, safe and secure.

After all, it's not a good time to drive fast at night.

Simon was suddenly in a bad mood in the afternoon, but he wouldn't lose his mind.

Back to dumei Cape manor, she had a short rest before she came to the party. Janet also followed her. It seemed that she was worried that her man would suddenly do something crazy again. Instead, Chen Qing stayed in the manor and said she wanted to see the children.

The couple entered the bar and soon became the focus of attention.

The most enthusiastic is Madonna. The queen is obviously drunk. She still holds the Oscar in her hand and comes to Simon. She will hang up like a koala and be resolutely pushed away.

In the bar lobby.

Simon stretched out a big hand and pressed the red faced Queen Mai's head to stop her from sticking it up again. He smiled and said, "I've helped you with the best actress in public relations. I have to take advantage of it. It's too much!"

Queen Mai was obviously not really drunk and looked sad: "Simon, you are so cold."

Indeed, a man has always been the object of her obsession. Unfortunately, she hasn't succeeded for so many years.

Damn guy.

When she noticed Janet, Queen Mai immediately changed her goal and stretched out her arms with a smile: "Jenny, nice to meet you."

Janet smiled and hugged Queen Mai. She also prevented the queen from touching the small wipe of men and women. Instead of teasing, she congratulated: "Maggie, congratulations."

"Hey, it's all Simon," Queen Mai raised her little golden man and looked aside. "How can I repay you?"

"Why don't you disappear from me?" Simon made a venomous remark, ignored Queen Mai's complaint, turned to the rest of the Chicago crew, reached out and shook hands with director rob Marshall: "Congratulations, Bob."

Rob Marshall is also holding his little golden man. He is also very excited and high spirited. Anyway, he did not expect that his first film from stage director to big screen won the highest honor in Hollywood.

He shook Simon's hand gratefully. Marshall was a little incoherent: "Simon, I really don't know what to say. Without you and danilis, i... in short, thank you."

"Don't say that. It's also the result of your efforts."

After a few words, Simon continued to turn to the rest of the crew, including the obviously lost Catherine Zeta Jones.

The old man killer should have won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in Chicago with the support of her husband Michael Douglas, who has a lot of contacts in Hollywood. However, history has changed. Zeta Jones is still single and has not been close to the Douglas family. This time, danilis did not take the means of protagonist allocation, but directly nominated the double hostess, and lost to Madonna.

Actually, it's danilis's choice.

This also makes Zeta Jones quite resentful when greeting men. After all, frankly, her and Madonna's performances just coincide with their meeting with the theme of the Chicago film itself. No one can reach the level of Oscar winner alone. However, this is the reality. Times make heroes.

And Zeta Jones knows more clearly that since the trend of the public and the public relations factor are the main factors, the two heroines, the small gold ones, will not give them to anyone, or a man has the final say. However, the other party eventually chose Madonna, who has a better private relationship, rather than her. Looking at the details of their 'interaction' just now, it is obvious that there is nothing between them. They are just better heterosexual friends, and she, uh, hateful man!

Simon probably understood a woman's mind and didn't explain anything.

The best female hostess of the little golden man was indeed decided by Simon himself. However, it was only a decision made from the standpoint of boss danilis, because if Queen Mai won the award, the follow-up topics would be more and more hot, so that the film could reap more follow-up benefits. Compared with Zeta Jones, although his performance was equally amazing, it was not as high as Queen Mai.

Only regret.

After a round of entertainment, Janet and several familiar female guests gathered at the bar to chat and drink. Simon came to master Zhang again and sat down in a sofa seat.

After changing a glass of wine, Simon smiled and looked at Zhang Guoshi: "Zhang, how do you feel?" Without waiting for the other party's answer, Simon said, "is there a feeling that he doesn't do his job?"

As a director, it must be a subtle feeling to get a little golden man with the identity of producer of a documentary.

Mr. Zhang nodded with a smile and said roundly, "however, Simon, I still appreciate your support for the project of Mount Everest."

Simon smiled, took a sip of champagne and said, "in fact, I've always been very optimistic about you, Zhang. Moreover, I've always had some ideas about China's film industry, which has something to do with you."

Sitting on the side of the card seat, Mr. Zhang leaned forward slightly and listened attentively. Even Mr. Wang and other people on the opposite side cheered up.

Simon soon continued, asking a question: "Zhang, have you ever dealt with Spielberg?"

Zhang Guoshi happened to know that Steven Spielberg had some disagreements with danilis because of Jurassic Park. He didn't expect Simon to mention each other. He paused a little and nodded: "I talked at some parties."

Simon said: "Steven became famous with jaws in 1975. Then, in the 1980s, there were films such as et ET and Indiana Jones, and then Jurassic Park in the 1990s. However, I appreciate Spielberg most. Do you know what it is?"

Zhang Guoshi should say, "what?"

I can't help thinking, but I'm not familiar after all. I really can't think of it for a moment.

Simon didn't sell too much, Soon continued: "what I appreciate most is Steven's support for the younger generation of the film. For example, in the original" back to the future "series, zemigis, as a newcomer, was able to get the directing opportunity because of Steven's support and little monster Director Joe dent, black actress Whoopi Goldberg with excellent acting skills, and so on, are all able to gain a foothold in Hollywood because of Steven. I also know that zemigis once expressed his gratitude to Steven and asked how to repay him. Steven said, "you don't have to repay me, just pass it on and continue to help other filmmakers in need."

Simon said here, Master Zhang also basically understood, but he didn't know how to express his position for a while.

Moreover, the young tycoon takes Steven as an example, but Mr. Zhang is also very clear that the other party has found far more cutting-edge filmmakers in Hollywood and even China these years than Steven Spielberg. Otherwise, there would not be such a prosperous danilis entertainment at present.

After sipping champagne again, Simon paused briefly and looked at Master Zhang with a clear expression, He smiled and said, "over there in China, Zhang, this time's Mount Everest" , it's a good practice for you. China's film industry is developing rapidly, but if only a few excellent filmmakers can't support a huge market with a population of 1.2 billion. Therefore, I hope you can become a person like Spielberg in the Chinese film circle. "

Simon pointed out his attitude and thought about the Everest this time. Guoshi Zhang suddenly understood, for example, why he could get the additional dividend of $3 million.

Perhaps, it is also a statement of Simon westero.

To put it simply, he won't do this in vain. Little golden man, 3 million, fame and wealth.

If it was the kind in the 1980s, there would be so many domestic resources. You can only compete with me. Mr. Zhang will certainly not be too willing. He is a very down-to-earth person in film, but outside the film, he is by no means ignorant of world affairs, otherwise he will not achieve his current achievements.

Now, seeing that the domestic film industry is indeed thriving, and doing so, just like this time's Mount Everest, it must not be in vain. After a simple calculation, Mr. Zhang quickly made up his mind and nodded, but subconsciously modest: "Simon, I'm just afraid I'll embarrass myself?"

Simon smiled, "I have confidence in you."

"In that case," Master Zhang, without too much affectation, asked, "Simon, what should I do?"

"It's simple, just like Steven used to be," Simon said: "Give consideration to your own career and give more support to new people. In the film industry, if new people want to get started, talent is on the one hand, and more importantly, experience, which happens to be the advantage of your predecessors. In short, if you can have an elder like you as a guide, I think they can avoid many detours."

After that, before Master Zhang promised again, Simon has continued: "Of course, I am a person who highly values giving and paying. I hate the guy who only talks about feelings with you but not money. I think it's playing hooligans. Therefore, Jinshu will carry out some share reform next. You, Feng and other excellent film talents. In short, as long as you are willing to stay in Jinshu for a long time, you will get some shares and go back That is, for future projects, as long as you are a nominal producer, there will be no less profit sharing in the future. In fact, this "Mount Everest" has been ignored, and the sharing terms will be more clearly defined in various contracts in the future. "

Simon's words made Mr. Zhang more worried and promised again and again.

Mr. Wang and others who are silent observers also have a lot of feelings, especially someone's sentence that talking only about feelings but not money is playing hooligans. The words are very rough, but they are reasonable.

After the two talked, President Wang finally found a chance to interrupt and didn't forget to raise his glass: "Simon, listening to you is really better than reading for ten years."

Simon also raised his glass and took a sip, Then he smiled: "Wang, your compliment is exaggerated. However, I also happen to think that if a person can firmly practice even one correct life criterion in his life, it will be more effective than reading a room full of books. Because the truth is always too easy to get. As long as a person has normal intelligence and business, I think he will understand what he should understand after he is ten years old. The difficulty lies in the big problem Some people are always difficult to do some of the simplest and correct things they know very well. Therefore, most of the world are just mediocre. "

President Wang suddenly agreed and nodded.

Zhang Guoshi temporarily pressed the matter just finalized, Also follow into the topic: "Simon, you're right, so Wang Yangming, a great thinker in the Ming Dynasty, put forward a very classic philosophical theory called the unity of knowledge and practice. It seems to be the same simple, but it's a great idea for those who can understand it. However, it's really too difficult to do it. Just like the simplest thing, getting up early is the plan of the day in the morning , everyone knows, but there are too few people who can really take the initiative to get up early without a rush of work or study schedule. "

After a few words at random, Mr. Wang turned the topic to his own company and took the initiative to mention what Chen Qing had talked about with Simon in the afternoon, and the concern of Westeros system about the deep layout of China's real estate industry.

Simon also sent President Wang the sentence in Sun Tzu's art of war again, Then he said, "so no matter who you are, you really should read Sun Tzu's art of war." , this book is not just about war or business, it can bring a lot of thinking about life. The general trend of China's economic development is there. In addition, local governments in China are bound to rely on the financial structure of selling land revenue. I believe that real estate will definitely become the largest pillar industry in China in the future, just like Japan a few years ago. Therefore, our current layout is to wait for work with ease and not to others. Speaking of, over the years, people have been urging me to invest in the auto industry, and I have been refusing it, also because of this criterion. Traditional automobile manufacturers have made fuel vehicles to the extreme, and even are going to decline. Now the westero system is mixed in, which is doomed to be unprofitable and will only end miserably. "

In fact, it is not just the traditional automobile industry. In Simon's memory, the most typical case is the mobile phone.

Some manufacturers have accumulated for many years and finally broke out. Some manufacturers have innovated the production and marketing mode, so they reached the top. Others, seeing that others are booming, they also quickly throw money in. As a result, crosstalk is not a bright spot. It is even more funny to turn on their photos in the animation, and you can expect to lose in the end.

Because of the previous meetings, President Wang always knew that Simon had a deep understanding of Chinese culture, but at this time, he was surprised again and even gave birth to some dissatisfaction when he heard that he also had a good grasp of Sun Tzu's art of war and could accurately combine theory with practice, He couldn't help saying, "Simon, you're talking about the world. I think it's very attractive to enter the automobile industry in China, because our related industries have just started. Now they enter the market. For latecomers, they also wait for work with ease."

"That's right," Simon nodded. "It's just not easy for me. The hidden barriers of China's auto industry are too high. We have to wait a few more years."

"Yes, it's a pity."

President Wang also did not refute.

Vanke didn't think about making a car, but it really can't be done with money. Just like the film and television industry that has attracted president Wang's heart these days, it has no resources and channels. If it breaks in rashly, it will only be slaughtered as a fat sheep.

However, since the great God was in front, President Wang did not hesitate to mention it.

Simon didn't object and gave suggestions. President Wang can set up his own media department first. At the beginning, it doesn't need to be too big. Follow the brocade book department to invest in some projects, test the water, cultivate the team, and decide whether to invest more in the future depending on the situation.

Mr. Wang is very excited. Someone's seemingly simple words are actually equivalent to that the super tycoon at the top of the global media pyramid personally issued them an industry ticket and immediately began to plan how to implement it. After all, China's film and television industry is still a first come, first served blue ocean stage.
