On the balcony of the hotel banquet hall, Simon received a call from the United States. With the plunge in international crude oil prices, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has prepared to reduce the daily output of crude oil.

"I can't stand it anymore. Of course, the current economic situation can't support the current oil supply. Let Nancy keep an eye on it. I believe that the position can be closed by the end of the year!" Simon said, hung up the phone and exhaled, and it was finally over. .

With a smile on his face, Simon really felt a lot more relaxed, and he would really not be short of money in the future.

"Hey, Simon, why are you here alone?" Zhou Lixian came to the balcony and seemed very happy to see Simon alone.

"It's nothing, just the phone!" Simon laughed.

"Oh, there are a lot of people out there who want to cooperate with us, what are your thoughts?" Zhou Lixian is currently a hot cake, and Xinghai Pictures has entered Asia aggressively. Capital, channels, and content are all her bargaining chips.

"My thoughts?" Simon shook his head and explained, "The previous plan is almost the same. The studio plan is the main project, and the Asian Film Support Fund is supplemented. After all, this is different from Hollywood, and cultural differences are not so easy to make up for. of!"

"Do you mainly focus on Chinese, Japanese and Korean movies, or are you now focusing on the Greater China region?" Zhou Lixian asked.

"Now," Simon thought about it and said, "The studio plan is mainly based on the Chinese mainland market. In terms of the Asian Film Fund, it is estimated that it will not be so fast, but now the largest export area in Asia is RB, and Xinghai Pictures is in the RB area. The release of the film is the focus!"

Not only that, his own Star Records also pays attention to the RB market. In terms of copyright protection awareness, RB is indeed doing well, which is not comparable to China or Europe and the United States.

"Also, we also want to deepen the cooperation with Internet companies in mainland China, which will also be very helpful for the promotion of our films in the future. Xinghai Entertainment is also preparing for the investment department, the cinema distribution of film and television, TV networks and DVDs. Online video, etc. are all worries that need to be considered!”

Zhou Lixian nodded. These plans have been mentioned before. It seems that Simon does take the Chinese market very seriously.

However, this is also a difficulty. After all, the mainland market is different from the open markets in Europe and RB, and the strict censorship system is not so easy to pass.

"Simon, this year's environment, I think it's our opportunity. Judging from the implementation of the theater plan during this period, we can start the film fund plan as soon as possible, and take advantage of these two years to establish cooperation with a group of Chinese directors and actors. We can open up the mainland market as soon as possible with the lowest cost,” Zhou Lixian suggested, after all, Xinghai Entertainment is really rich now, since it can spend a lot of money in the theater, of course, it can also invest some in film production to support some Chinese independent films or commercial film.

Simon closed his eyes and thought about it. At present, the production cost of Chinese movies is not high, especially for the mainland market.

"Yes, I promise you, but I think it should focus on mainland China. I don't care about Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Hong Kong movies have long been lonely. In the future, the huge mainland market is our goal, and we can start from mainland directors and actors. Discover!" Simon is very concerned about the future mainland market, as for now, he does not pay much attention to it, but it is definitely right to prepare in advance.

"Thank you, I don't think I will disappoint you," Zhou Lixian responded confidently.

"That's good, I have been here recently, and I may go to RB or South Korea in the future, or I may not go!" Simon nodded.

After the two returned to the banquet hall, Simon took another glass of wine from the waiter and just took a sip.

Zhou Lixian said with a smile: "I actually just talked to the person in charge of Happy Blue Ocean Film and Television Culture Group about our cinema project in Nanjing. Behind them is the Jiangsu **** who operates a cinema chain, and Nanjing is the base camp!"

"Oh, you can decide, after all, there are too many cities in China!" Simon said and smiled, his eyes fixed on a beautiful woman not far away.

Zhou Lixian followed Simon's gaze and said with a smile, "It's a coincidence, that's a TV actor, and he's also a signed artist under Happy Blue Ocean!"

What Simon saw was Tong Liya. As for she is still a young actress, she can come to such a place because her father is a member of the Standing Committee of the XJ Music Association.

"Really? It's beautiful," Simon smiled casually.

Zhou Lixian was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said, "Wait for me first!"

After a while, Zhou Lixian brought Tong Liya over and introduced her to Simon. Tong Liya had greeted Zhou Lixian before when she was chatting with Jiang Xiaoping, the boss of her company. How could she bring her to a young foreigner now?

"Hello, Miss Tong!"

"Hello, Mr. Pike," Tong Liya was stunned for a moment, she knew Chinese.

"Miss Tong is from XJ, I heard that she dances very well?" Simon and the girl smiled as they touched a glass of wine.

"Yes, Chinese XJ people, dance is okay," Tong Liya was a little restrained, after all, I heard that this is the boss of Hollywood Star Sea Entertainment, a big man.

"XJ, very beautiful place, I heard that you are an actor..."

"Have played some TV roles,"

The chat between Simon and Tong Liya was relatively pleasant, after all, there was no obstacle in language communication.

In the evening, after Tong Liya returned to her hotel, she asked her agent about Xinghai Pictures.

"Xinghai Pictures has developed very well in recent years. It has won the Oscar for Best Picture and is currently seeking the domestic market," the agent knew better.

"What's the matter, are you interested in this?"

Tong Liya shook her head and said with a smile, "I just had a chat with their boss, Mr. Simon Parker, at the banquet, as if he knows China very well, and Chinese is also very good!"

"Ah, that boss is very powerful. I heard the company executives say that the boss of Xinghai Entertainment is less than 30 years old and worth billions of dollars!" The agent's eyes lit up, he was a real Hollywood tycoon.

"He said that he has been here recently, and I hope I can take him to visit some scenic spots in China when I have the opportunity." Tong Liya must be false to say that she is not nervous, after all, it is too good.

"Really! Well, that's good. Xinghai Pictures has a strong capital. Now it is entering the domestic cinema market, it must be for the sake of movies. Now the Nanjing Flagship Cinema, which is cooperating with our Happy Blue Ocean, has invested nearly 30 million yuan." The agent was very excited. If there is such a backer, then the resources in the future will definitely be.

Perhaps, Tong Liya will have the opportunity to develop in Hollywood in the future.
