Hollywood New Century

Chapter 175: meet

In the luxurious large indoor swimming pool in the Plaza Hotel, Simon got out of the water, put on a towel, and sat on the beach chair next to him to rest.

Although Amanda Hearst is not tall, a **** bikini with a better face is also very good.

"We're friends now, can you come to some of my parties if you have time?" Amanda Hirst asked, leaning back on the chair next door.

"I stay in Los Angeles most of the time. I come to New York for business, and I don't know if I have time." Of course, Simon can't be like these rich second-generation drunks. I'm so busy, look at Paris Hilton All kinds of deeds, Simon has a little bit of resistance to these wealthy ladies in New York.

"It's time," Amanda Hirst took a sip of red wine gracefully, smiled, and asked, "Simon, are you interested in the newspaper publishing industry?"

"Newspaper industry?" Simon's eyes rolled. "You are also very aware of the situation in the newspaper industry in the past two years. The rise of the Internet has had a great impact on print media!"

"On the West Coast, we at Hearst have large daily newspapers such as the San Francisco Chronicle and the Seattle Post-Dispatch, which are also the daily newspapers with the highest circulation in the United States. Does Xinghai Entertainment have any ideas in this regard?" Amanda He Sterling asked.

"The San Francisco Chronicle, acquired by the Hearst Group in 2000, has suffered losses for four years so far. As for the Seattle Post-Dispatch, it has been losing money every year since 2000," Simon certainly knew that several major cities in California The circulation of newspapers has increased. Of course, "Los Angeles Daily" is the most powerful and the top five newspapers in the United States; "San Francisco Chronicle" is second only to "Los Angeles Times" on the West Coast, ranking 12th, but most of the newspapers looking for quality now , all face the problem of losses, and the "Los Angeles Daily" has laid off staff.

"You want to sell these two newspapers?"

Amanda Hirst nodded and explained: "Although they lost money, both newspapers have a lot of history, especially the "San Francisco Chronicle", which has a history of more than 140 years and is the most circulated in Northern California. Influential newspaper!"

Simon looked at Amanda Hirst. How did this guy sell these two newspapers to himself? Xinghai Entertainment does have this demand, but it is for the intention of the novel publishing company, and the paper newspaper is just a feeling.

Hearst Group's current paper media industry is also a very small part. Magazines, TV stations, Hearst Capital and others are their main businesses.

"This kind of thing, you can decide?" If the price is right, Simon doesn't mind taking the "San Francisco Chronicle" and transforming it into online news.

Amanda Hirst shook her head and explained: "My mother is in charge of this, and now I am helping out in the company, and I want to make some achievements for my mother to show!"

"Anne Hearst is indeed a big figure in the publishing industry, but I think we can strengthen cooperation in news. The Hearst Group has 15 daily newspapers, and its influence is not small, and the publication of several hundred magazines is also beneficial to the press. Very familiar," Simon smiled,

"Hollywood, never news!"

Many of the newspapers and magazines of the Hearst Group are small, and there is no position problem. There are also many popular and adult magazines.

My favorite is celebrity scandals, sexual assault and other chaotic private life news, but Hearst Capital has participated in many media investments and accumulated resources and contacts over the years, which has always been very prestigious in the American press.

"Oh, so you have something you'd like us to publish?" Amanda Hirst quickly caught on, showing great interest.

"I'd like to meet your mother, and you'll have a chance to introduce me," Simon is about to start his own project, with more and more reports of Harvey Weinstein investigations, and more recently about black comedy stars in America." The sex-assistance scandal of "Daddy Genius" Bill Corbis is back in the newspapers.

The crime committed at the beginning of this year, this guy is 71 years old, and he can still commit crimes. A repeat offender who used drugs, committed crimes on many women in the 1970s and 1980s.

Inside Hollywood, Simon won't take Harvey Weinstein lightly, it's too big and it will ruin the image of Hollywood, and those at the top don't want to see it happen.

However, although Bill Corbis can also be said to be Hollywood, the TV circle is different from the film circle after all. Last year, he attended the Hollywood Women's Rights Club meeting. It is time for this minor league to make some news.

What's more, Bill Corbis is a popular black comedy star with a huge national fan base and spares no effort in supporting *** for the presidency.

Now the influence of *** among ordinary people is getting stronger and stronger, and almost all black people in the entertainment circle support him. As his important supporter, Simon must show his importance, and of course, he must lower his stake. The scandal of Bill Corbis can just play a role.

"Okay, I think my mother would love to talk to you!" said Amanda Hirst, standing up and draping the towel around her.

In the evening, Simon returned to his villa on the Upper East Side and had a phone call with Sonia Roman.

"Sharon Waxman has a lot of evidence about Harvey Weinstein. We don't report him? We support her in reporting that Bill Corbis?" Sonia Roman was puzzled tone, can this be compared? Can TV comedians compare to Hollywood bigwigs?

"Listen to me, we are the pioneers of feminism. This matter is dominated by the Hollywood Women's Rights Club. Didn't Sharon Waxman also investigate this news before? Although the news is not big, it has a big impact. And it just happens to expand the influence of the women's rights club, shouldn't we help the victim at the beginning of the year!" Of course Simon has many reasons, and his current high profile in Hollywood and Wall Street has attracted the attention of many people, which is also the reason Not good, celebrity sexual assault cases can also attract public curiosity.

"Oh, see, I think at least he has to be a Hollywood star, after all, he's just a TV comedy star," Sonia Roman said.

"Sonia, you and I know what's going on in Hollywood. This kind of thing has always existed, and the obstruction of vested interests will affect the follow-up development of Xinghai Entertainment!" This kind of thing can only be done by others. Gradually increase the fame of various stars appearing in the newspapers.

Step by step, the victims, the media, the public, will sink into it, Simon is not worried that the Harvey Weinstein scandal will not be published in the newspapers, but worried about the power of women's rights now, and Harvey Weinstein will definitely not be like the future. awful.
