Again, the four South Korean faces will be active among some South Korean corporate giants in the future. As long as they pay a little attention, they will not arouse the resentment and vigilance of the Korean people.

The last job of the afternoon was Titanic.

After more than a year of tossing, this movie is basically determined to burn [-] million US dollars, and it has not been completely completed until now.

This time it's about the soundtrack.

After Simon intervened a little, the soundtrack of the film chose the original version of James Horner. However, because of Simon, a big butterfly, even if it was the original version, Horner would not be able to write this song that adds the finishing touch to "Titanic". Handed down a classic.

Simon still can only end in person.

From three o'clock in the afternoon until nearly seven o'clock, four hours, accompanied by a demo, put forward some revision suggestions based on memory, as well as Scottish bagpipes, and "MyHeartWillGoOn" which was "brainstormed" on site.

Frankly speaking, although Cameron failed to change the history of burning [-] million U.S. dollars, the heroine was changed from Fat Wen to Rachel Weisz, which was really pleasing to the eye.

During the period, I also discussed the release with Amy who came to watch the film at the same time.

This time, the plan to premiere at the Venice Film Festival has been finalized.

The former "Titanic" premiered at the Tokyo Film Festival, mainly because the Tokyo Film Festival in October is closer to the end of the year. However, Japanese audiences don't seem to buy it. Of course, I skipped it this time, even if the Venice Film Festival in September A little earlier, if the adaptation feedback is still not good enough, it can give Daenerys entertainment time to make up.

Returning to Cape Dumei Manor in the twilight, as soon as I stepped into the lobby of the Shell Villa, I saw several people sitting and chatting on the other side of the curtain wall.

Walking over, Janet got up first, followed by Veronica and Melbourne who just stayed by her side.

"Honey, how is it today?" Janet stepped forward to hug Simon, said hello, and took the man's arm and turned around, explaining: "Auntie came back in the afternoon, and I have some questions about America Online."

Simon nodded slightly, and glanced at his own son who was still being held by Veronica.

Melbourne was glanced at by his father, reacted, and quickly greeted obediently: "Dad, good evening."

"Ah."

The little guy immediately reacted: "Aunt Jenny and the others are preparing dinner, and I will help."

After speaking, he reluctantly let go of Veronica and ran away.

Janet watched the 'interaction' between the father and son and almost laughed out loud. When Simon and Veronica greeted him again and pulled him to sit down, she still couldn't help laughing and said: "It's always good for Moore. So fierce, don't you find that he is getting less and less close to you?"

"What do father and son want to be so close to?"

"..."

Janet almost rolled her eyes, but it seemed...it made sense.

She also knows about intergenerational relatives.

Just like her own father, he has always been strict with her brothers, but he cherishes Moore's grandson very much.

Ok.

And Auntie and Mel.

This is probably... a family tradition.

Simon was dragged to sit down by Janet, and he was still in a bad mood. He glanced at the smiling Janet next to him: "You two rest here and let Jenny prepare dinner alone?"

Counting from the beginning of October last year, Jennifer has been pregnant for more than 10 months.

Janet curled her lips and said, "That's not true, Sophie came here this morning, and she's in the kitchen."

There are also some small belly slanders.

Even if Sophia Fish didn't come, there is no need for Jennifer to prepare dinner by herself in this villa.

Some guy is just trying to find fault out of thin air.

Humph.

Seeing Janet say this, Simon didn't continue. He looked at Veronica who was holding a cup of coffee and sipping her head: "What's wrong with America Online?"

The three core giants of the Westeros system in the Internet industry, the review of Igret, who is most valued by Simon, has ended, and America Online was ranked second by Simon.

Seeing Simon asking, Veronica raised her head slightly and said, "I found that AOL's line laying budget in many areas inside and outside the United States has been abnormally overrun in the past two years. Steve Case believes that with the current stock market situation, it is not These should be studied in depth so as not to trigger a continuous decline in stock prices."

Although Simon spent most of the time overseas in the past month, he has not relaxed his attention on the Nasdaq.

As of the close of the story on the East Coast today, the Nasdaq index, which has been plummeting for more than a month, has fallen back to 4353 points. Compared with the highest point of 3 points on the day of the Nasdaq crash on March 24, the cumulative decline has reached 7045%.

The Nasdaq’s crash after 2000 was still a relatively slow process, and there were several rebounds during the period. This time, it was in line with Simon’s prediction that the higher the rise, the harder the fall. The 38% decline, no doubt Even if it is cut in half, it has also reached the chest and abdomen. The Nasdaq sector, which once had a market value of 9.3 trillion US dollars, is now only 5.6 trillion US dollars.

In just over a month, $3.7 trillion in stock wealth evaporated.

The three giants of the Westeros system, Igret, Cisco, and AOL, as the leading stocks in Nasdaq, are also the first to bear the brunt of this decline, and their vitality has been severely damaged.

If it is for stock price considerations, Simon really shouldn't go to war now.

However, what Simon values ​​more has always been the long-term development of the Westeros system.

After thinking about it for a while, Simon said to Veronica: "I'll talk to Steve after dinner." After saying this, Simon turned to Janet again: "Next, arrange two more female guards for her to ensure that she is always around. At least one group."

Before Janet could speak, Veronica said, "I don't want so many people to follow."

Just when Sophia Feixi came over, Simon stood up and said, "That's it."

After speaking, I greeted Sophia.

Janet looked at the back of the man after he got up, stuck out her tongue at Veronica, got up and went to her aunt again: "Okay, that's it, aunt, you must have encountered more things than us, so you know Some people are pushed into a hurry and can do anything."

Veronica said: "Actually, the problem is not that serious. With the enthusiasm of the new technology bubble in the past few years, the budget overrun of AOL's pipeline laying is completely expected."

"I know, I know," Janet still smiled, "just in case."

Next to Simon and Sophia hugged and greeted, and came to the sofa to sit down again. In fact, the problem on the AOL side was also expected by Simon. Even in the past few years, he has been aware of this problem. After the network laying in each region has been completed with quality and quantity guaranteed, some overruns have not been investigated.

This time, Simon is going to 'make use of the problem' to clean up a group of people while tightening the finances, and carry out a purge of various companies in the Westeros system.

After continuing to chat for a while, Jennifer came over with her stomach in her arms and informed everyone that dinner was ready, and everyone got up and walked to the restaurant together.

After dinner, Simon connected to Steve Case's video connection, and unceremoniously reprimanded the executive. Seeing that the big boss was angry, Steve Case made a little rebuttal, but it seemed ineffective , had to be subdued.

Of course, Simon was not completely relieved because of this, and it would depend on the other party's next performance.

Simon doesn't mind taking the other party down if Steve Case continues to do what he wants, but he doesn't care about the internal turmoil in the company and the drop in the stock price caused by it.If a company in the Westeros system cannot continue to operate because of the loss of a certain executive, such a company is worthless.

As for the stock price, it is even more false.

The completion of this purge will only make AOL's future development better, and the long-term stock price trend will also be the same.

The next day is Tuesday, May 5th.

Simon still rushed to the company early, leaving the time before nine o'clock today to Danny Morris, the head of New World Pictures, to discuss the announcement of upcoming films such as "American Pie" and "Rush Hour 2" and other projects.

Danny Morris also highlighted the increasingly obvious craze for Hong Kong movies.

Hong Kong movies have experienced a big crash in the past two years. Unexpectedly, it will turn around so soon. At least, for Hong Kong filmmakers, it is really a turnaround.

In addition to the projects that Baige Wu, Fa Ge and others are really looking for recently, Simon has also heard that some other familiar names will enter Hollywood, such as Old Monster Xu. The other party contacted, including New World Pictures and MGM.

Simon happened to remember that in the previous timeline, Old Freak Xu did test the waters of Hollywood during this time, and collaborated with Hollywood action star Jean-Claude Van Damme on a movie called "Thunderbolt".

Then there is no more.

In Simon's view, the talent of Mr. Xu must surpass Baige Wu, so it can only be said that he was unlucky and did not meet a suitable project.

Thinking of Old Monster Xu, Simon immediately thought of the idea of ​​filming the trilogy "Legend of Shushan" that came up when he was in China a few days ago.

Speaking of it, "The Legend of Shushan" can be said to be an obsession of Mr. Xu, but it is a pity that this filmmaker tried this IP twice in the 80s and the beginning of the new century, and the results ended in failure, so that Shushan The series has also become a project that others dare not touch.

As for the reasons for the failure, it is quite complicated.

In Simon's view, one of the most important items, although both are big-budget, is still not big enough. After all, such a swordsman series, the production specifications of the 80s should be compared with the "Alien ET" of the same period. ", the 2001 edition should also have the input level of "Hero", so it will be more decent.It's a pity that Mr. Xu only had 8000 million Hong Kong dollars at that time.

Therefore, both projects can only be regarded as semi-finished products.

On the other hand, there is no doubt about Mr. Xu's talent, but sometimes he is too unconstrained. While giving enough budget, he must be limited to avoid going astray.

Like a script.

Simon believes that both projects will have a good story at the beginning of production, but in the actual implementation process, because there are too many ideas to realize, most of the money has been spent early, and the result can be imagined.

After such considerations, Simon is basically sure.

This project can be handed over to Old Freak Xu again, but he must also keep his eyes on him and not get too excited.

Inside the office of Daenerys Studios.

After making up his mind, Simon said to Danny Morris: "Since everyone is robbing, you can pay more attention here. However, we don't want to rob, we still need to have a suitable project."

Danny Morris nodded, and said again: "Actually, there happened to be one, from Golden Harvest, called "Phantom Agent". I have read the script, and the idea is based on cultivating top agents through subconscious training. It is a very good idea. The story The plot is similar to last year's "Black Man", by the way, Golden Harvest also sent an invitation to Ms. Jiang in China, and she has agreed to act."

Simon had no impression of this movie, including the Miss Jiang mentioned by Danny Morris. He was a little stunned before he remembered that it was Jiang Anqi.

Chapter 1135 Another one

For the women around him, in the early years, Simon would spend some thought to help plan, the typical one is the ABCD four girls, now, as the Westeros system is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more women around, Simon has no I spent so much time worrying about this.

Recklessly.

Just like "Han Zhu Ge Ge", Simon casually mentioned that Jiang Anqi could try the role of Xia Ziwei, but since Ren Jingxi was too expensive and didn't want Jiang Anqi to play the role, Jiang Anqi herself seemed reluctant, so she changed.

Simon simply assembled the original team.

I can only feel sorry for Erkang.

As for the impact of missing this role on Jiang Anqi, Simon doesn't care. Anyway, the original cast, especially the male and female protagonists, will be included in Jinshu's agency company.

However, it is probably also a kind of good and bad. Simon doesn't pay much attention to the vases around him, but everyone else does.

Just like at this time, Danny Morris also specifically mentioned it.

Simon was still noncommittal, and said: "Give me a copy of the materials of "Phantom Agent", I will take a look first, and I also returned your thoughts about the sequel to "Taken" in your email yesterday, so find someone first." Try to write the script, wait for Jeter to finish filming "Hero", and then see if the sequel will start."

Danny Morris nodded: "I understand."

The two were talking about things, and the time soon came to nine o'clock in the morning. Danny Morris did not leave, but went to the post-production center of the studio together.

The "Ghost Story", which was launched in March, was finished at the beginning of the month, and the rough cut was completed during this period. Simon wants to watch the sample today.

This film is in charge of New World Films. Originally, a super-budget film shot by an iRec digital camera was difficult to attract the attention of executives at the level of Danny Morris. Creativity, and I am very caring, others will naturally pay enough attention to it.

Simon spent three hours in the morning on this iRec movie.

Compared with the original version, which was largely amateurish, this project was personally planned by Simon, and Lin Yibin, once a top Chinese director in Hollywood, participated, and the quality was obviously improved.

It was also the first time for Danny Morris to watch the sample. Although the rough cut lasted more than 130 minutes, with the eyes of an experienced filmmaker, he can easily appreciate the excellence of the film.

First of all, the perspective of No.1 may not be very effective if it is on other themes, but it just gives people an immersive viewing experience when it is placed on a horror film.Although Lin Yibin is a novice director, in terms of camera processing, whether it is the slow follow-up shooting that lifts the audience's emotions, or the proper shaking of certain scenes, or even the fixed camera position under the surveillance angle late at night, all make this kind of The immersive viewing experience is even better.
