In April, Simon began to turn more attention to Denise Entertainment's film business.

Batman: The Dark Knight, the most important DC film project in the universe, finished its final cut at the end of March and successfully won the PG-13 rating, which is scheduled for June 7. In the first week of April, the last two months before the film's release, there was a big rush.

In January, Warner Bros.'s flash, still produced by Simon, quietly opened in Melbourne, Australia. The shooting cycle is expected to be three to four months, with the release date of December 20 and the Christmas schedule.

Daenerys entertainment will launch next summer's "Wonder Woman" in June.

In addition to DC's movie universe plan, because Simon delayed the production plan of Superman, the original project director Martin Campbell was loaned by MGM to shoot 007's golden eye.

Under the insistence of the brockles, who hold the 007 copyright with United States, Timothy Dalton is still the hero of the golden eye of 007. However, Martin Campbell is the original director of Brosnan's version of 007's golden eye.

Of course, famik Jensen, who has been identified as the role of wonder woman, will not play the Russian female agent who uses her long legs to kill people this time.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Shirley Lansing put an "old man killer" on the final candidate list of Russian female agents and asked Simon for his opinion.

Simon doesn't think that Katherine Zeta Jones, who is a sweet girl, can perform the crazy bloodthirsty temperament of famik Jensen in the original version of 007's golden eye. Considering that MGM will soon become the business of the Johnston family, he did not accept the suggestion that Lansing might have some "good intentions".

Simon's attitude towards the role of the film project in hand is that if the role is suitable, he is very willing to give a few favors, but if it is not suitable, he will never joke about the investment of tens of millions of dollars.

In fact, there are many failures in Hollywood projects, which are all caused by improper selection of actors full of human relations and other factors. This proportion accounts for a very high proportion of Hollywood failed films.

Hollywood film industry system has a very strong side, and often it will be very unprofessional. It is only because of the gambling nature of film investment that success or failure seems to have a lot of luck, which conceals many unprofessional factors.

In the final analysis, Hollywood filmmakers are used to spending other people's money, and they just earn service fees.

Spend other people's money, lost will not be too distressed.

Denise entertains, but Simon spends his own money.

Because they are responsible for their own profits and losses, each project means a huge investment of several million dollars or tens of millions of dollars. Of course, we need to be more careful.

Not only Batman: The Dark Knight, but also other films about to be painted by danielis entertainment in the summer, such as Terminator 2, the end of the world and few good people, or tempering, jungle fever, problem boy 2 and family of four, which were taken over from Universal Pictures, all started in April The last stage of publicity work of summer archives.

After the Oscar, it was confirmed that Pixar had accumulated enough technology, and the 3D version of the lion king was officially launched.

At the same time, another top priority project in 1992, Jurassic Park, was successfully completed with Simon's personal intervention. In April, the project officially started the preliminary casting work, and is expected to start at the end of next year.

To sum up, Denise entertainment has released four key projects independently in 1992, namely "Wonder Woman" and "Ninja Turtle 2" in the summer season, and "kid at home 2" and "Jurassic Park" in the end of the year.

Simon has previously extended the development cycle of the DC movie universe project, which is not without benefits.

If we keep the rhythm of two movies a year, projects such as Jurassic Park are likely to compete directly with DC movies, which often result in both sides losing.

As for another project that Simon promised Spielberg, "Schindler's list", because of the ample time this time, Spielberg is no longer in a hurry to shoot back-to-back with Jurassic Park. The film is expected to start shooting in the second half of next year and be released in 1993.

In addition, other foreign cooperation projects of danielis entertainment are also on Simon's recent agenda.

Four of the original 10 films have been released so far, and three more will be released in this summer program, namely Terminator 2, the end of the world and few good people.

The remaining three, one belongs to MGM and the other two belong to Warner Bros.

Last year, in order to get paramount to give up blocking danielis Entertainment's acquisition of MCA, Simon promised the other party three cooperative films.

If you add in Simon's director contract with Disney, Denise Entertainment's foreign cooperation projects have reached a total of seven.Finally, this paper combs the script and novel copyrights that dannilis entertainment has bought in the past year. In addition to several key IP addresses such as mission impossible and Jurassic Park, dannilis entertainment has also obtained two other copyrights published in 1990.

Both of them are comics. They are man in black, a science fiction cartoon written by a cartoonist named Lowell Cunningham, and Shrek, a children's cartoon.

According to statistics, Denise Entertainment's current copyright library includes the whole Marvel superhero system, DC's Superman, Batman and wonder woman, the whole Thor King's China series, mission impossible and the spy series, and the "Thunderclap baby" series, which bought the copyright from Columbia Pictures, originally from Roger Coe, the king of B-class films The series of speed and passion, Forrest Gump's true story, Jurassic Park, man's man in black, Shrek, ninja turtle, mummy and so on are included, All of the original time and space hoarded are the copyrights for sale, which has been enough for danilisi entertainment to develop for more than 30 years.

In terms of animated films, danilisi entertainment also included Pixar, which has developed such popular 3D animated films as toy story, Nemo and monster power company in the original time and space in advance.

It can be said that even if Simon completely starts to be a shake off manager now, even if only half of all these copyrights are as successful as Simon remembers, the film business of Denise entertainment will be strong enough in Hollywood for a long time.

What's more, Simon won't let go of course. After several years of careful building, danielis entertainment has enough team to support the development of these precious copyrights.

I spent a month in various film studios, production meetings, post production meetings, actor auditions, publicity meetings and other film affairs, and the time soon came to May.

This year's Cannes Film Festival will open on May 9. Denise entertainment still has two films shortlisted in the main competition unit, namely, Cohen brothers' new film "Barton Fink" invested by gaomen film and Spike Lee's new film "Jungle Fever" which will be released in this summer release from Universal Pictures.

Ella doichman led the team to Cannes a week in advance.

Simon would like to take this opportunity to go to Europe with Janet for a rest.

However, Janet is less than three months pregnant. The doctor's advice is that it's better not to fly. The woman plans not to fly during her pregnancy. This is actually one of the reasons why she lets cersei capital management go.

Although she no longer takes care of cersei capital, Janet doesn't have nothing to do all day long, she just uses her mind as little as possible.

Originally only used to turn seven small brains, now reduced to three.

Domay point manor.

It's May 5th, Sunday.

James Leibold was rushed here by his daughter from Los Angeles International Airport. Simon and his wife have been welcomed outside Beck villa.

Although it's a rest day, today we need to discuss some very important things.

In short, it is the assets, cash and liabilities of the whole westero system.

We exchanged greetings and came to a small meeting room in the villa.

James Leibold felt tired again when he saw that the four girls of ABCD in the villa, like his daughter, took the initiative to serve tea and pour water.

It's all for nothing!

However, just thinking about it, James quickly turned his attention to business.

Since the 1987 stock market crash, Simon's personal assets have grown rapidly in a few years.

At the same time, the whole westrow system is absolutely a waste of money.

In particular, in the two successive acquisitions of MCA and Bell Atlantic in the past year, although the final loan ratio is not as high as originally expected, the debt scale of the whole westrow system has also reached the level of 10 billion US dollars.

In this era when the market value of giant enterprises such as general motors, IBM and General Electric is still 50 billion US dollars, the debt of 10 billion US dollars is a very heavy burden for most companies, not to mention that the money is basically Simon's personal debt.

In recent years, the expansion of westrow system, in addition to Simon's achievements in several major financial markets, mainly relies on the lucrative danilisi entertainment for blood transfusion.

The Gulf War, which has just ended, is the last big market cersei capital's fund hedging business can take advantage of in the next many years.

therefore, it is unlikely that cersei capital will get billions of dollars from the financial market.

Although the company's net profit in 1990 reached a staggering US $1.12 billion, this year, due to the acquisition of MCA, the amount of debt of danilis entertainment increased by US $7 billion at one time. Taking into account the previous accumulation, only danielis entertainment has more than $8 billion in debt, and the annual amount of principal and interest to be paid will reach more than $1 billion.In 1990, Denise Entertainment's revenue was $3.96 billion, and MCA's revenue was $3.37 billion.

With the merger of the two companies, the new Denise entertainment will generate revenue of more than $7 billion.

However, as the scale of danilisi entertainment has doubled at one time, the corporate profit margin will no longer be as high as when it was light.

What's more, there are still huge debts to be paid in recent years.

Therefore, it is not feasible to obtain funds from danielis entertainment to give blood transfusion to other enterprises in the westero system.

In addition, Bell Atlantic, though also a source of cash flow with annual revenue of billions of dollars, can provide funds for the westero system.

However, Simon did not intend to draw blood from Bell Atlantic. Instead, he planned to provide additional funds to promote Bell Atlantic's investment in mobile communications and Internet in the next few years. As a result, the company can't count on it.

Cersei capital, danielis entertainment and Bell Atlantic are unable to transfer too much capital to the whole system, but many enterprises in the westero system maintain a continuous thirst for capital.

It's just that igritte needs to invest about $500 million this year.

AOL, Nokia, Cisco and other companies are also big spenders.

Moreover, even if westero no longer invests in other new technology companies, Simon needs to continuously inject capital if he wants to maintain the shareholding ratio of the new technology companies he has invested in.

next, Denis entertainment plans to start the Osaka Universal Studios project with a total budget of around $2 billion, even if Panasonic shares half of the investment, Denis entertainment needs another $1 billion.

Finally, Simon and his wife usually spend a lot of money.

Of course, in detail, the westrow system does not face the problem of fund-raising. Because the whole westrow system has been in a booming state of rapid development in recent years, major banks in North America and overseas are very willing to provide loans for Simon.

The focus of your discussion this time is still on the routine sorting out and re planning of the capital trend of the Westeros system.

Simon's family is very rich, and it's very easy to get investment from the bank.

However, if you spend money too casually and without careful calculation, you will unconsciously accumulate a large amount of unnecessary expenses. If we continue to add up, we may have a tangled debt problem one day, or even a domino effect.

Simon's personal financial problems have always been taken care of by Janet herself. A woman's small brain scores seven points, which is about twenty to thirty of the average person's. Simon has always been very relieved, and the woman has really done it in good order.

In addition to private finance, James is also responsible for managing westero in recent years. Simon himself has always attached great importance to the financial supervision of the whole westero system.

Therefore, the possibility of financial crisis in westero system is not great.

However, Simon, of course, knows the truth of taking precautions, so he attaches great importance to today's meeting.

"the construction of Osaka Universal Studios and several banks in Japan are very happy to provide us with funds. In the next few years, the yen, which has appreciated continuously for many years, may enter the depreciation cycle. I think it is very cost-effective to obtain loans from the Bank of Japan. "

"On igritte's side, cersei fund management's profit this year is probably enough to maintain the company's expenses, so there is no need to raise additional funds."

"Nokia has successfully developed a new generation of digital mobile phones, and the GSM network in Europe has also begun to enter the practical application stage. The funds needed for the company's next development, the funds needed for melisandro to buy van clenburg, the expenses needed for Bell Atlantic's layout in mobile communications and other fields, and the next level of funds needed to maintain our shareholding in non listed companies such as Qualcomm We need another 1 billion to 1.5 billion dollars in loans this year, including your own expenses. "

"These are expenses. The promise of not reducing the holdings of the technology stocks I bought in the first three years has expired. Except for Microsoft, Intel and other companies that I intend to hold for a long time, I have recently reduced my holdings to less than 5% of the shares, and I have withdrawn from the board of directors of these companies one after another. In case of emergency, you can cash out five to one billion dollars at any time. The money will be enough to cover the debt we need to pay off outside of Denise entertainment in the next two or three years. "

A small meeting of four lasted a day.

James Leibold concluded by looking up at Simon and Janet and asking, "one last thing, the westrow building project in Manhattan. Do you really plan to start soon?"
