Hollywood New Century

Chapter 143: Fundraising Dinner

Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Simon is sitting on the balcony reading the newspaper, Hollywood never lacks news.

Blake Lively came out of the room and sat beside Simon, and said with a smile, "Watching entertainment news? Haven't you been interested in this kind of news!"

Simon did hold a copy of The Hollywood Reporter, handed it to Blake Lively and said, "Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were attacked at the door of their villa yesterday afternoon. Here comes the shooting of unknown people!"

"It's just that no one was hurt."

"Ah, is it?" Blake Lively hurriedly looked at it and said in surprise, "It's a Middle Eastern American who has been arrested."

"Oh, this kind of thing actually happened in Beverly Hills. It seems that some of Angelina Jolie's remarks have offended a lot of people recently!" Simon still knows some of these things, Angelina Jolie In the interview, Jolie called on the United States to increase its armed forces against the Iraqi reactionaries. Iraq has become a ruin, and she wants to continue the war there.

In the future, the phrase Angelina Jolie shouted in Syria, which was in ruins after the war, "Although they lost their homeland, they were free!" It really makes sense, this guy is really a wonderful flower.

Blake Lively looked at Simon and knew he didn't like political stars, it seems Angelina Jolie is that kind of person.

"By the way, Simon, it's been a few days since the writers' strike, will the second season of "Gossip Girl" be affected?" Blake Lively changed the subject, after all, the first season of "Gossip Girl" had already let Blake Lively taste it. To the sweetness of popularity.

"Rest assured, we still have a few episodes left of our first season, and when we make our second season next year, the strike will definitely be over," Simon said with a smile, youth icons Blake Lively and Jennifer Smith, Queen S Online with Queen B!

"Well," Blake Lively was relieved to hear this, "by the way, I'm going to a friend's movie premiere later, do you have time to go?"

"What movie?" Simon should really accompany Blake Lively now, after all, he was left out.

"It's called 'The Garage,' which is produced by Summit Entertainment. Rachel Nichols and I worked together on 'Summer of Jeans 2' this year, and 'Garage' is also her main movie this year," Blake said. After all, Lively explained, Garage was just a low-budget horror movie with **** beauties and horror elements as gimmicks.

"Peak Entertainment," Simon pondered that Xinghai Pictures is now buying the bonds of Peak Entertainment, which is the first acquisition target of Xinghai Pictures.

At this time, the beautiful Colombian butler sent by Sofia Vergara came, "Sir, this is an invitation letter from someone!"

Simon took a look at the fundraising dinner hosted by David Griffin for the *** at the mansion in Beverly Hills.

"My dear, I can't accompany you to the movie premiere tonight," Simon said apologetically and shook the invitation letter in his hand.

He has donated more than 1 million US dollars to ***. As one of the three giants who established the DreamWorks Group, David Griffin is a veritable rich man.

Griffin Music Group sold it to Universal Music's predecessor, MCA Music, and made a lot of money.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home that night!" Blake Lively didn't have any objections, it was just the premiere of a small-budget movie anyway.

David Griffin's villa in Brentwood, Los Angeles, is large and very grand.

When night fell, Simon came here, and David Griffin looked like a very kind old man, and he was very low-key.

"Simon, you are finally here, but I haven't seen you for a long time recently," David Griffin and Simon of course knew each other.

"I haven't been in Los Angeles recently, but unlike you, I'm retired now, and I just do what I like every day!" Simon and David Griffin touched glasses, although David Griffin was in charge of the DreamWorks system In the music department, but in fact it was equivalent to an investor, after all, he was in semi-retirement at that time.

The executive management of DreamWorks is also mainly carried out by Jeffrey Katzenberg, who is in charge of DreamWorks Animation.

"Ha, by the way, Simon, you also graduated from USC, you should go back and have a look when you have time," David Griffin recently donated another sum of money to his alma mater, USC.

Simon nodded, anyway, there is time to talk about it later. Looking around, sure enough, many stars were present, especially the proportion of black stars.

Halle Berry, Jamie Foxx, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, etc., at a glance, Simon began to worry about the future of black politics in Hollywood.

Before long, David Griffin and Simon meet *** together.

"Thank you for your support, Mr. Simon Parker, I also admire you very much after hearing what David said about you," *** smiled and shook hands with Simon.

"Just call me Simon. I also support and oppose war. After all, world peace is the best," Simon also laughed. After all, the CCP's campaign slogan was to oppose the Iraq War and establish universal health care.

"Hehe, by the way, I'm not very familiar with Hollywood. It seems that Hollywood is in trouble right now?" *** was talking about the current writers' strike,

"Simon, now the national economy is in a downturn, and the Hollywood market is a very important market. I really hope this will pass as soon as possible."

Simon smiled and explained: "In fact, it's nothing, it's just a simple labor dispute. The two major trade unions are also renegotiating. After all, this is a capital game, and the amount of capital involved is huge. It will take time!"

*** nodded, he didn't understand Hollywood, Simon Pike, as the current upstart, has a rich net worth, of course he has to take good care of him for supporting him.

One of the Democratic candidates, *** is of course no better than Hillary Clinton's network in Hollywood. Stars are very important to canvassing votes; but to get stars to support themselves, you can get people like David Griffin and Simon Pike. The support of the film company boss is important.

Especially the boss of a powerful film company like Xinghai Pictures, Hillary has Harvey Weinstein of Weinstein Pictures to protect her in Hollywood. Although she has no interest in Hollywood, she is very interested in Hollywood. Huge campaign funds are still very interesting.
