It seems that all of a sudden, the first quarter of 1993 came to an end.

In the coming March, the most popular media topic is undoubtedly the information superhighway plan bill, which was officially passed at the beginning of this month, and all kinds of discussions on this huge investment bill involving 400 billion US dollars in the next two decades in the whole society. New technology companies such as igritte, Cisco, AOL, Microsoft, Intel, etc. have become investors for a while The darling of our market.

The most powerful young man in Hollywood is undoubtedly the one who gets the most attention in this trend.

Only Cisco and AOL, two new technology companies with a market value of more than 30 billion US dollars, have brought nearly 50 billion US dollars to each other, and even some Hollywood stars with a lot of surplus have begun to look for investment in new technology.

But for most Hollywood natives, new technology, the Internet, the information age, tens of billions of dollars They are still a little far away.

When it comes to the end of March, what we are most concerned about is still the 65th Academy Awards ceremony, the most important grand ceremony of the awards season, which has lasted for several months.

Simon finished his schedule in New York and returned to Los Angeles, where he was immediately surrounded by all kinds of work.

This year's Easter is April 11, and danielis Entertainment's Easter film "fight smart 2" will be released on April 9. Simon needs to pay attention to the publicity of the film.

Summer films such as Superman, sleepless in Seattle, sugar trap and Pelican assassination order have been basically completed, and Simon has to check them himself.

There are also a large number of projects in the production stage, such as mission impossible, seven crimes, Schindler's list, which require Simon to pay a certain amount of energy.

Simon discussed the development plan of the related project with new world director Denny Morris in the morning. At one o'clock in the afternoon, he had lunch and went to the star gate production conference, which was written by Roland Emmerich and directed by Michael Bay.

At two o'clock, the star gate production meeting is over, and Amy Pascal and universal's President Richard Palmes are already waiting for Simon.

After completing the acquisition of MCA, danielis entertainment has basically completed the adjustment and integration of film, television, theme park and other businesses. However, in the aspect of records, Simon has not made much adjustment to the record company because he has not been able to spare energy before, and because he does not know much about the record industry.

In the past two years, universal records has been in the charge of Richard Palmes, a former MCA executive in his 50s. Although he failed to make outstanding achievements, he managed the record company in an orderly manner. Relying on the sales of original records of danelis entertainment, the record business also provided a good profit for the group.

There is no need to rely on the distribution channels of other record companies as in the period of bodyguard, which is also what Simon originally valued most.

However, that is obviously not enough.

Last time he saw the digital music player prototype developed by tincobail company in San Francisco, Simon realized that it was time to re plan the record business.

If we miss the last period of prosperity of physical records, it will be very difficult for us to make great achievements in the field of music in the future.

Over the years, universal records has always been more inclined to the rock field. The famous gun rose is a group of universal records. In addition, there are heavy metal bands such as dream theatre and thunderbolt tango. Besides rock and roll, there are other types of signing singers. Cher, who is well-known, is the actress who co starred with cage in "the Moonlight" and won the Oscar for best actress.

Gun rose is famous enough, and its record sales are also very good. Recently, the global sales of two records have reached 35 million, but the rock band has deviated from the mainstream after all.

Xueer's peak period was in the 1960s and 1970s. From the 1980s, she began to focus more on performance.

Therefore, compared with Sony's Columbia Records with Michael Jackson and Warner records with Madonna, Universal's biggest shortcoming is the lack of a phenomenal mainstream music superstar.

Simon is very familiar with the development trend of the recording industry in the 1990s.

In the 1990s, young pop singers, backstreet boys, Britney Spears and so on, emerged one after another, and almost suppressed all the traditional singers. Moreover, compared with the past, it takes a lot of luck to build a top singer's industry status, but young pop singers can be "mass produced".

When it comes to the popularity of teenagers, we have to mention Jive Records, which was popular in the 1990s. From the earliest backstreet boys to later Britney Spears, Jive Records created all of them.

Simon has investigated Jive Records in advance.

Jive Records is now one of the subsidiaries of RCA group's singing subsidiary of Ge. RCA group is also the parent company of NBC. The relationship between RCA and RCA records is just like MCA and universal records.As a subsidiary of a subsidiary of a giant General Electric Company, it is only partly owned. If other record companies want to dig a corner, it will not be too difficult. Large record groups usually have many subsidiaries, and these subsidiaries often change their parent companies.

However, if it's Denise entertainment, the most popular entertainment in Hollywood, that's not going to be easy.

After one afternoon's discussion, Simon made two decisions. Daniels Entertainment's record business was officially renamed daenerys music group, announcing that Daniels entertainment began to make efforts in the record field. Another decision was to start contact with Barry Weiss, President of Jive Records.

After thinking about it, Simon still gave up the decision to swallow the whole Jive record. Instead, he dug up Barry Weiss, the president of Jive record, who created a popular youth event in the 1990s. This is much easier than buying the whole Jive record. It can also save time and avoid all kinds of unnecessary tugs.

So it was until five o'clock in the afternoon, when the meeting ended, and after Richard Palmes left, Amy Pascal asked Simon, "what's the schedule for the evening?"

The red carpet ceremony of the Oscars ceremony in the downtown area should have started. Simon didn't plan to join in the fun. He said with a smile, "go home to have dinner with Jenny first. After the ceremony, he will probably go to the party for a while."

Amy already knew Janet's news of pregnancy again, and even from Simon's rearrangement of the assistant's work, he had guessed something else but didn't get a deep idea. Instead, he switched the topic to the construction of Osaka Universal Studios in Japan. She will fly to Japan tomorrow to check the progress of the movie city.

The two chatted for a while. Amy left. Simon continued to look through some documents in his office until six o'clock when he left the studio and rushed back to Malibu.

It's actually dinner for three tonight.

Two women are pregnant together. Simon really hopes that the female assistant will also live in domay point manor, which is more convenient to take care of. There are many beautiful girls in the manor, and there won't be too many female assistants. It's just that Jennifer doesn't agree and continues to live in her uncle George Norman's house.

As Simon's former private lawyer, George Norman is still on the board of directors of some westero systems companies. Like the Leibold family, he has a very close relationship with westero systems. In addition to his personal relationship, the pregnancy of the female assistant has not been concealed from George Norman.

The female assistant insisted on living in her uncle's house, and Simon didn't object. He just accompanied a female bodyguard and a female assistant to Jennifer to take care of her daily life for 24 hours.

The Normans also knew that this matter was of great importance. In order to avoid information leakage, they sent their youngest son to boarding school.

Moreover, in the plan, after Xianhuai, the female assistant, plans to move to Simon's mountain villa in Woodside, San Francisco. In this way, she will not be too far away from Los Angeles, and can avoid many concerns here. It is also very convenient to go from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

Although she didn't live together, Janet often took the initiative to invite her to dinner at home during this period. The relationship between the two women was very good. After they got pregnant together, the relationship seemed to be closer.

Simon rushed back to domay point estate, Los Angeles Music Center Dorothy Chandler theater, the 65th Academy Awards ceremony officially opened, this session of the host is still Billy Christo.

Compared with previous years, this year is a typical Oscar year.

Dannilis entertainment originally had three films named "smell and know a woman", "crying game" and "Howard Manor", which were enough to be among the best films. However, in order to avoid distracting the judges, dannilis entertainment only focused on "smell and know a woman" this year, and the other two films only declared some nominations for best screenwriter or best actress .

"Crying game" and "Howard Manor" took the initiative to withdraw from the best picture competition, and the five best picture nominations of this year's Film Competition suddenly became a lot of gloomy.

In addition to "smell a woman," four other best picture nominees include Clint Eastwood's unforgivable, Mike Neville's April, Spike Lee's Malcolm AIX and Robert Downey Jr.'s Chaplin.

When the nomination was just announced, many media in North America were outspoken in criticizing some of the best picture nominees for not being worthy of the name. It was the Oscars organizing committee that made up for them. Denise Entertainment's "crying game" and "Howard Manor" were also specifically mentioned.

Oscar is also helpless.

Danielis entertainment did not declare the relevant nominations, they can not impose on each other.

It's just that most of the public obviously don't know the rules of the Academy Awards.

Under the influence of the media, we can only see Oscar's prejudice against danielis entertainment.

Even the old story of last year's mediocre "the storm of time" defeating danielis Entertainment's "farewell to the piano" and "the last flower" has been mentioned again, which has triggered the Oscar's speculation that danielis entertainment, the new player, is not friendly enough.In fact, this kind of public opinion situation also has the factor of Denise entertainment guiding behind the scenes.

The extent to which Oscar is influenced by media opinion is actually very large.

There are 6000 judges in the whole Academy Awards team. Most of them are easily influenced by public relations and public opinion.

Last year's "the storm of time" won the first Oscar for best female director and the most important best picture, which has already caused a strong controversy. If we ignore danielis entertainment this year, the credibility of the Oscar may be affected. Even if they don't care whether a really good film will win a prize, since they become a member of the Academy Awards judging group, because of the group attribute of human instinct, these people will inevitably tend to maintain the credibility of the Academy Awards.

At the awards ceremony in the evening, last year's initiative to give up the Oscar and the previous public opinion guidance strategy obviously played a role.

In Dorothy Chandler hall, Irene Lauder, who took part in the film festival for the first time, obviously didn't know the inside story behind the Oscars. She sat in a pretty good position specially arranged for her by someone in the seventh row of the hall. She was surrounded by all kinds of stars that could only be seen on the big screen in the past. Instinctively, the girl was only excited and didn't feel that someone was yesterday It's very boring to do three hours at the award ceremony.

With the formal start of the awards, Irene Lauder, who has done some homework in advance, involuntarily began to pay attention to danylis Entertainment's films.

Best sound, wonder woman.

Best visual effect, wonder woman.

Best photography, river love.

Best actress, Emma Thompson, Howard manor.

Best original play, crying game.

Best adapted screenplay, smell and know women.

Best movie clip, wonder woman.

Best actor, Al Pacino, smell women.

Best director, Martin Brest, smell women.

Best picture, "smell the woman.".

Unconsciously, when the award ceremony ended, Irene Lauder found that among all the 22 Oscars, only Denise Entertainment's related films won 10 small golden men. Moreover, these are all the most important Oscars.

Among the awards dropped, the most important one is the best supporting actor and actress. The others are edge technology awards such as the best animated short film, the best documentary film and the best score.

Although she only knew Simon for less than three days, at the Oscars, Irene Lauder could also clearly feel how powerful Denise entertainment is in Hollywood, and therefore had some inexplicable pride.

Unfortunately, someone is not here.

Fortunately, the company has won so many awards. You can't miss the next melisandro party, can you?
