In the evening, Simon took Sophie Marceau to the Black Stallion Winery along the Silver Mine Trail in the Oak Hills District of Napa Valley, north of San Francisco.

It was the Vineyard Winery that Simon gave to Tong Liya before. Simon was going to change its name to Xinma Winery, but because the wine produced is the Black Horse Winery, the winery is still the Black Horse Winery.

Bringing Sophie Marceau over, it must have been a good in-depth exchange that night, and the stone house of the Black Horse Winery is also unique.

The next day, Simon and Sophie Marceau strolled along the nearby river, chatting about trivial matters.

"I also have a vineyard castle estate in Bordeaux, but I don't have much time to go there myself," Sophie Marceau said with a smile and looked at Simon,

"I mostly spend most of my time in Paris, or go to other places to film and shoot commercials or something."

"Bordeaux, the winery is very famous for its plantations. If I have the opportunity, I will also buy a vineyard with a castle, haha!" Simon is actually not very interested in European-style castles. After all, good castles cost money to manage, and they are all cultural relics. .

As for the general new-style castle, there is no historical culture, and it is of little significance.

"Okay, next time you come to France, I will treat you well," Sophie Marceau said, hugging Simon.

The two have come to the exit of the manor, and Sophie Marceau has something to leave.

"Last night, what a wonderful and unforgettable night!" Sophie Marceau finally said before getting into the car.

"Ah, French woman," Simon muttered as he watched the car go away, "The French kiss can't resist the erosion of time, it is indeed getting old."

Of course, Simon's intention to come to the Black Horse Winery is not only because of Sophie Marceau, but also because Tong Liya is coming to San Francisco to film her role in "Tai Chi".

Two days later, on the day of the 2008-09 European Champions Cup Finals, Tong Liya came to San Francisco, and was taken over by Simon to the Black Horse Winery.

"How many holiday homes have you built?" Tong Liya, who came to the Black Horse Winery, had a good tour of the winery. She was still a little happy to see Simon building a few more holiday homes.

"Anyway, it is to attract tourists to come and play, and this style has a Chinese pastoral style, which may attract some Chinese tourists in the future," Simon said with a smile.

After all, "Tai Chi" is also going to be shot here, isn't it, "Tai Chi" will definitely be a big seller in China.

"Not bad," Tong Liya had no objection, after all, the main time is to stay in the country.

"Do you have a lot of scenes? When will you shoot?" Simon asked. Although Tong Liya is a supporting role in "Tai Chi", she should still have some scenes, right?

"Oh, not much, I'm just a small supporting role. I will officially shoot in the middle of next month, come over in advance to get acquainted with it," Tong Liya also plays a second-generation Chinese immigrant who is helpful to the male and female characters. The ranch owner .

"Okay, "Tai Chi" has been filmed here for almost two months, and everything is normal. How is the public opinion in China?" Simon asked, after all, the US$60 million Sino-US co-production film.

"The response has been great, but now the privacy is very good, and there is no publicity material in China," Tong Liya said excitedly. After all, it is really lucky to be able to participate in this level of project.

"By the way, I found out in China recently that Xinghai Entertainment seems to be making a big move in China, saying that it is going to build a movie theme park resort in Shanghai, and many media are reporting," Tong Liya thought of something, and then added Continue to speak.

"The movie theme park resort has this idea. Shanghai is the fastest-growing place in China and has a large economy. It is indeed our first choice," Simon did think, but now the more important thing is development, in terms of brand influence Nothing compares to Disney.

When a few world-class influential movie IPs come out, we can make a fuss. Fortunately, "Twilight" will be released soon, and with the influence of Marvel Pictures, it is estimated that there will be more at that time. Much more convincing.

Most importantly, if you can win NBC Universal Entertainment as soon as possible, relying on the brand influence of Universal Studios, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

"By the way, how is your Galaxy Culture Company doing now?" Simon has never really cared about the performance company he invested in in China before. Now that Tong Liya has come over, he still has to ask.

"Very well, the company has already invested in three TV series, and Ms. Zhou also suggested that we can also invest in some low-cost movies," Tong Liya said with a smile, and continued,

"But you also know that Zeng has some experience in TV dramas. We have no experience in movies, and we can't trouble Ms. Zhou. Ms. Zhou has always been busy."

At present, Galaxy Culture is indeed mainly an artist broker. Although it is not bad for money, as long as you want, you can bring money into the group. Zeng Jia seems to be a little timid now. As for Ms. Zhou Lixian, the head of Xinghai Entertainment International Pictures in Asia, she is mainly responsible for the marketing of Xinghai Pictures' films in Asia, and she is indeed very busy.

"Really, now the world is in a severe economic situation. If you have money, you should be able to receive projects from producers or directors at any time. Some small-cost comedies don't cost much. If you think you can, you can participate in it. ,” Simon only suggested that unless he is in China, he can indeed help Galaxy Culture choose a few projects, so that Galaxy Culture can gain a firm foothold as quickly as possible.

Tong Liya nodded and said, "The company has now signed a few more artists, and the investment in TV is also to allow them to have filming."

"It makes sense, in fact, you can also develop TV series yourself, and you will bring more people," Simon smiled.

"Well, in a while, I'm going to go to China to meet officials from the SH city government!"

Xinghai Entertainment said with great fanfare that it would build a movie theme park in Shanghai, and it would have to show up. Anyway, it was a marathon negotiation process. As the boss of Xinghai Entertainment, it was time for him to come forward.

"Go to China, I should be there by then," Tong Liya's eyes lit up.

Simon patted Tong Liya on the shoulder, smiled and said: "Okay, let's eat, this is also a winery anyway, we can have a good drink!"

Saying that, Simon took Tong Liya's hand and walked towards the villa.

"The house you bought for you on Venice Beach has been renovated. You can go there for a few days if you have time. Venice is just northwest of Los Angeles anyway," Simon said as he walked.

"Okay," Tong Liya smiled, and then asked again,

"In September, our crew is going to the Venice Film Festival to promote "Tai Chi". I don't know if you went to China at that time."

Venice in California can't compare to the Venice in Italy. One is the small town of Venice. Venice in Italy is famous because of the Venice Film Festival!
