Hollywood New Century

Chapter 132: one of the goals

The San Francisco Bay Area is the second largest metropolitan area on the West Coast of the United States, and a group of tech giants in Silicon Valley will also rise.

Therefore, San Francisco has a very high status in Simon's heart. After all, the 21st century is an era of technological intelligence.

San Francisco on the Bay Area peninsula, San Jose to the south, and Oakland to the east through the Bay Bridge, Simon has visited.

Mainly, of course, is the Silicon Valley area in San Jose, San Francisco, which is the future after all.

Oakland, home of the Golden State Warriors, Oracle Arena, which Simon Pike and Blake Lively from New York just visited.

"Simon, the NBA hasn't started yet. It's only early September, and the NBA won't start the regular season until the end of next month!" Blake Lively wondered why Simon brought himself to Oakland to see the stadium.

"I know, I'll just see what the arena is like, it's really old," Simon knew that the Warriors would be sold after that, and was also one of Simon's potential targets.

Oracle Stadium was sponsored by Oracle Corporation last year. It used to be called the Oakland Coliseum. It was renovated once in 1997. It is really old, but after the renovation, the number of seats is close to 20,000.

10 years, Oracle's $18 million sponsorship fee is really cheap. Golden State Warriors 06-07 season, but created a black eight miracle.

Well, making the playoffs for the first time in 12 years, knocking out the No. 1 Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs.

"This team has poor results, Simon, do you support the Golden State Warriors?" Blake Lively asked while holding Simon's arm.

"No, I think this team is closer to Los Angeles, you know, I want to buy an NBA team!" Simon laughed.

Afterwards, the two drove back to San Francisco from the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Although they belong to the San Francisco-Oakland metropolitan area, the economic volume of San Francisco is not comparable to that of Oakland.

At least, Silicon Valley can go to downtown San Francisco without crossing the Bay Bridge.

"By the way, Simon, "Gossip Girl" airs in September, the first season has 18 episodes, we have already shot 10 episodes, and we will shoot the remaining 8 episodes during the winter break!" Blake Liver Leigh has recently been in New York filming the Starsea TV production Gossip Girl.

"Not bad, what do you think of this TV?" Simon asked while driving.

"Very young and fashionable. Anyway, it is the life of a wealthy family in the Upper East Side of New York. It should be attractive." Blake Lively himself is just a little star, and he is not well-known. Perhaps the biggest reason for frequent news is that the people around him are Simon Parker.

"Don't worry, Xinghai TV production company's first series, how could it fail? And we have been preparing for so long, CW TV station is taking this kind of youth idol route, and they are also very optimistic," Simon comforted, CW TVB The network is a joint venture of Viacom's UPN TV network and Time Warner's WB TV station. It is the fifth largest wireless broadcast TV network in the United States.

Blake Lively nodded, the mole under his eyes moved, and then smiled: "Gossip Girl will premiere in a week anyway, let's wait for the results."

"Gossip Girl" premiered on 9.10 on The CW.

Simon nodded. Viacom Group made another big move just last month, announcing that its Paramount, DreamWorks, MTV, Nickelodeon and other film and television companies fully support HD-DVD, and signed an 18-month contract. Exclusive agreement.

Originally, Viacom Group produced both Blu-ray and HD of high-definition DVD. Now it suddenly only produces HD-DVD. The HD camp led by Toshiba and Microsoft has paid a lot of money.

In addition, Time Warner also supports HD-DVD, and the advantages of the Blu-ray camp led by Sony have been reduced.

On the way back to the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco, after passing through the Chinatown community, I found that some Democrats were holding signs on the street to canvass votes.

"These guys, maybe they only think about this when they need votes at this time," Simon curled his lips. When Arnold Schwarzenegger was re-elected, he also stepped into Chinatown for the first time to seek vote support.

There are mainly Chinese people in Chinatown. Those who are not illegal immigrants have votes, but there are not many Chinese voters, and they do not like to participate in politics, so they have been ignored.

"Hey, it looks like Hillary Clinton's campaign!" Blake Lively said, looking out the car window.

"It seems yes, Hillary Clinton has been very strong recently. Fundraising dinners are often held in Hollywood. Her husband, former President William Clinton, is everywhere to help her canvass for votes," Simon smiled.

"Could America really have its first female president?"

"The female president is very good! It seems that there is another black Democratic candidate who has a good momentum. Is the United States about to have the first black president!" Blake Lively said and kissed Simon on the face.

After returning to his room at the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco, Simon sat down on the sofa, and the *** team accepted their millions of dollars in campaign funding.

Martha Cosby is not only helping herself organize some information about film distribution companies and theater chains, but she is also her own political assistant, and her support for *** is not strong enough.

At that time, it seems that I will have to hold a fundraising dinner for this guy in Hollywood, otherwise in Hollywood, with Hillary Clinton's prestige and resources, he will lose ugly.

Alas, Simon has no problem with who becomes the President of the United States, but now two candidates, a black man and a woman, are the most promising, although these two guys are equally annoying.

Hillary Clinton, forget it, economics and politics are inseparable, more support for ***, the future is better to have some benefits.

Blake Lively sat next to Simon and put his arms around Simon's waist, and whispered close to Simon's ear: "The newspaper said that your Nine-headed Bird Fund is very beautiful, and there are more reports about you."

"Fortunately, I've been here for a month anyway," Simon was indeed in San Francisco recently, and Nancy Davis was responsible for helping him short two houses with leverage.

The stock price of the two houses is now a high price of 70 US dollars a share, and in April it was only more than 50 US dollars a share. Simon remembers very clearly that the stock price of Liangfang has plunged since October, and it will definitely not rise by 10% within a month. The Nine-headed Bird Fund is very safe.

Afterwards, Blake Lively sat on Simon's body and bowed his head to kiss him.

On the sofa, the two hug each other, their lips and tongues are interlaced, their clothes are gradually unraveling, and the scenery is beautiful!
