Simon wakes up with Blake Lively in his arms as the morning sun shines through the window of his Four Seasons hotel suite in New York.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, seeing the long-lost sunshine, he said in a relaxed mood, "New York is a good day today!"

"Yeah, but it still feels a little cold outside," Blake Lively said, brushing his long hair around his ear.

Blake Lively and Jennifer Smith filmed the second season of "Gossip Girl" in New York, and New York's Upper East Side was an important location.

"Do you have something important to do today?" Blake Lively said, sitting up.

"Yes, go to Hearst Group to talk about cooperation," Simon had already received a message from Amanda Hearst last night, and was going to Hearst Group today to meet one of the heirs of Hearst Group Anne Hirst, Amanda Hirst's mother, of course, Lydia Hirst's mother is also one of the heirs, Anne Hirst's sister.

The Hearst Group headquarters is the first LEED gold-rated green office building in New York. It is a 182-meter-high, 46-story building located at the junction of West 57th Street and 8th Avenue in Manhattan, New York.

Simon came to Anne Hirst's office in this building at ten o'clock in the morning. The Hirst Group is not a listed company. As a comprehensive media group, it is indeed not easy to inherit these years.

"Hollywood genius, Simon, you are really young," Anne Hirst and Simon sat on the sofa.

"The Hearst Group also has a lot of investment in film and television, radio stations, TV stations, cable news, online media, etc. In fact, the entertainment industry and the media industry are also indistinguishable," Simon said while drinking coffee. After all, now All are diversified operations to form an industrial chain.

"I heard from Amanda that Xinghai Entertainment is going to strengthen the cooperative relationship with Hearst. I am very optimistic. At present, I am mainly responsible for the publishing and advertising business of newspapers, magazines and other media. We do have a basis for cooperation," Anne Hearst Of course, I have studied Xinghai Entertainment, a rising star in Hollywood, movies and TV all need to be advertised in newspapers, magazines and TV stations, and it is a big business.

"Indeed, I think our company's marketing department has already contacted Hearst," Simon said, looking at Anne Hearst and asking,

"I wonder what Ms. Hearst thinks about the decline in traditional media sales now?"

"There are only two points, to speed up the transformation of digital media and to publish more attractive news," Anne Hirst responded, but this is not easy, the transformation of digital media requires traditional editors and reporters to adapt to new media, but New media does not need so many personnel, and it is difficult for many experienced reporters and editors to quickly adapt to Internet news. Layoffs and training of new personnel are all difficult problems.

"Accurate, independent, and fast news events are indeed the best antidote." Simon certainly knows the difficulties faced by traditional media transforming into digital media. It takes time, and the content of the report is important.

"Simon, Hearst has been in the newspaper industry since the 19th century. In the 20th century, you know the energy of Hearst's newspaper industry, and we still have a lot of resources in the press," Anne Hirst felt that Simon thought Now Hirst does not pay attention to newspapers and focuses on fashion magazines and other aspects.

Simon smiled. Hearst Group can no longer be said to be a newspaper group, a business information consulting company. In 2006, it also acquired 20% of the shares of Fitch Group, one of the world's three major rating agencies, and joined S&P, Mu Di is tied for the three major rating agencies.

In terms of cable TV, the most powerful cable TV station, of course, is the 20% stake in ESPN, the world's largest sports cable news station.

"Did Hearst's newspapers dare to report on the drugged sexual assault scandal of TV personality Bill Beers?" Simon laughed.

"Uh, this, Simon, how can you pay attention to a TV comedy star, or someone in their seventies?" Anne Hirst was also puzzled.

"The women's rights club in Hollywood was entrusted by the victim to do justice for her, and Bill Corbis also had a lot of previous convictions. Under the circumstances of media reports and public opinion, more and more newspapers and media will follow suit. In, there will be other victims who will come forward and accuse," Simon said casually, and the reasons on the surface were very good anyway.

"It's good for Hearst's newspaper brand awareness," of course, and Hearst's newspapers, of course, would have to deal with the pressure on Bill Corbis themselves.

"He is also very popular in the United States. If you want to report, you need to have some investigative reports." Anne Hirst felt that it was not a big deal. In the future, as long as Xinghai Entertainment's advertisements are cast, no matter what purpose he has, this Kindness can help.

A Bill Cosby, indeed, has little influence on Hearst's newspaper group.

"Don't worry, the Women's Rights Club has arrangements, you can do your best to report the incident." Simon didn't care much about this matter, anyway, just make the film and television circle a little messy.

As for what kind of results it will lead to at that time, and whether it will lead to other scandals, it is not Simon's concern, as long as the public opinion is given a vent.

"Happy cooperation, Simon! I hope we will have more opportunities for cooperation in film and television fashion in the future," Anne Hirst was only in charge of receiving, Simon. As for the specific cooperation details, of course, the staff under the two companies to be specifically implemented.

Bill Cosby's life that could have been dashing for more than ten years was disrupted by Simon Pike.

After Simon left the Hearst Building, he also prayed silently for Bill Cosby. After all, this guy should be sentenced to prison in 2018, when he was in his eighties.

However, Simon seems to be a little worried that the circulation of Hearst Group's newspapers is not large enough. Compared with the "New York Times", "Washington Post" and "Wall Street Journal", the circulation of more than one million cannot be compared. Hearst The San Francisco Chronicle, which has the largest circulation, currently only has more than 330,000 copies.

Fortunately, it's just a Bill Cosby, and now it's the time of the presidential election, and the Republicans' support for the entertainment industry of this kind of Democratic Party will also fall to the ground.

"This year, it must be lively and lively!" Simon said to himself, looking at the bright sunshine.
