The theater has Broadway in New York, and the film has Hollywood in Los Angeles, as the two major entertainment labels on the east and west coasts of the United States. Simon has indeed thought about expanding the business of stage plays, but he really knows very little, and stage plays have a much smaller market compared to movies.

London's West End and New York's Broadway, as the two peaks of drama in Europe and the United States, have always been the incubators and reprocessing factories of many film and television stars. After all, drama is more technical in performance.

"It seems that there have always been many big Hollywood stars participating in theatrical performances, alas!" Blake Lively said and sighed slightly.

Simon doesn't understand, and there's nothing wrong with acting in dramas. Stars make money in Hollywood and come here to enrich themselves.

Moreover, most theatrical performers can also get Hollywood's attention and become actors through these experiences!

After all, with so many theaters, countless performances every day, and high demand for personnel, theater is also a performance experience.

"Don't worry, if you want to perform now, there will be many theater directors to invite you," Simon smiled. Theatrical performances can't make much money, and those stars who have requirements for acting will train themselves.

However, most of the stars are impetuous and powerful, and they are willing to spend time performing dramas without much exposure. They are reluctant to do so.

However, the presence of popular stars in theatrical performances is also a sign of attracting audiences, which is very attractive to various theaters.

Blake Lively just smiled and nodded. After all, after the popularity of "Gossip Girl", he really didn't have much interest in entering the drama industry.

After the musical, Simon Pike and Blake Lively went to Jane George's Western Restaurant near Central Park.

Jane George Western Restaurant is a three-Michelin-starred French restaurant that is a favorite of many New York bigwigs.

Originally, Simon's favorite food must be Chinese food, then Italian food, followed by French food, but it is also casual.

After all, Jane George's restaurant is famous enough that most people have to make a reservation to have a seat.

"By the way, when is the movie starring Natalie Portman ready to start shooting?" Simon asked about "Black Swan", which was renamed from "Stuntman".

"Come on, after I finished filming the current "Gossip Girl" scene, I should be in the "Black Swan" crew," Blake Lively said, looking up at Simon, and then said a little tangled,

"In the script, I have a **** scene with Natalie Portman, and I'm always a little nervous!"

"Oh, when it's time to join the group, you and Natalie Portman will be proficient, just acting, nothing," Simon felt that Blake Lively was probably a little tangled because of his own positioning.

After the two finished their meal, they returned to the manor on Long Island. After all, compared to the Upper East Side, Long Island was much quieter.

That night, Simon and Blake Lively got up and went to the bathroom after some rain in bed.

Whether or not Blake Lively slept or not, Simon went to a viewing room by the sea alone.

In the distance outside the window was the dark Atlantic Ocean, and of course there were sporadic boat lights on, and Simon sat in his chair thinking.

Simon was thinking about Sonia Roman's affairs in China. It happened to be around two or three o'clock in the afternoon in China, so he made a phone call to him.

"Hey, Simon, it's so late, you haven't slept yet?" Sonia Roman on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised.

"I can't sleep, so I called and asked about your situation. Are things going on at Disney and over there?" Simon asked.

"It's still the same, Disney should be too aggressive. Anyway, they have been talking about cooperation for many years, and they don't know when it will be formed." Sonia Roman actually felt that Simon was making a big fuss. Is it because of the severe economic situation this year? , there will always be a side concession?

Simon frowned and reminded: "If you have time here, you can also get in touch with investment institutions in China. First, come up with an idea slowly, and let Adam Root show you a few consortia. to be large;"

"Now, you are really fighting over there. Building a movie-themed resort in mainland China is a must for us in the future!"

"Oh, I understand, here, there are also some institutions in Korea or RB, I will contact them," Sonia Roman quickly responded.

Afterwards, Simon Parker hung up the phone after instructing a few more things that Sonya Roman needed to pay attention to.

Simon Pike and Nancy Davis sit opposite each other at the headquarters of the Nine-Headed Bird Fund in Manhattan, New York.

"What, is there something important?" Simon asked with a serious look at Nancy Davis opposite.

"Yesterday I met George Soros, Steve Cohen, John Paulson and James Simmons at the Waldorf Astoria for a day of meetings on European debt," Nancy Davis has nothing to hide.

Simon smiled and said, "You are about to detonate the European debt crisis. The breakthrough is Greece, right?"

Needless to say, George Soros, the Quantum Fund is famous all over the world, Steve Cohen, head of SAC Capital, trading king, John Paulson is more familiar, the king of shorts (of course, now this name belongs to the nine-headed bird ), not to mention James Simmons, the mathematician and head of a top fund.

These are definitely the capital predators of Wall Street, and of course Nancy Davis, because he is in charge of the Nine-headed Bird Fund. After all, Simon is only giving general directions and doesn't show much.

"You know, since last year, the dollar has depreciated, and a lot of capital has flowed from the United States to Europe. For the hegemony of the dollar, the biggest competitor now, the euro, is indeed a stumbling block for us, and the government will not allow it." Nancy Davis explained.

Simon nodded, "Recently, the United States has been slamming the Greek economy. When Greece joined the euro zone, Goldman Sachs helped to conceal the debt ratio of Greece. It seems that the United States can't wait to start with the euro now;"

"Hehe, let's do it, follow them," Simon said, his eyes lit up and his hair sternly said,

"In the second half of this year, Greece will hold a general election. It should be the time for the Greek debt crisis to emerge. You can short the euro with all your strength. Regardless of Soros and the others, our nine-headed bird is the king of shorts!"

Nancy Davis frowned and said: "Do you have to invest so much to go short? Although there is support from the Ministry of Finance, Greece is also a member of the EU after all, and the EU will definitely save it."

"Don't worry, it can't be saved. The devaluation of the euro is a must. If you invest less, you will not earn much. The EU will only slow down."

"Moreover, we are also responding to the US Treasury Department. With the tall man in front, we are just following behind to be the boss!"

Simon said and smiled, next year will be another harvest year!
