Chapter 355 Aftermath(1/2)

Simon played for less than 20 minutes at Madonna's solo concert on the evening of June 23, but provided countless media with enough intensive hype for a whole week.

The opening flame guitar is undoubtedly the target that fans are most concerned about.

Before the concert that night ended, many people began to inquire about the source of Simon's guitar.

The Los Angeles Times obtained detailed information about the Flaming Guitar at the first time and interviewed members of the guitar production team. The exposed information discouraged most jealous guitar enthusiasts.

Not to mention the cost of more than $100,000 and Westeros has applied for a design patent, even if it is really copied, it is just the weight of the guitar itself, which is not something that ordinary people can play with.

You should know that the flame guitar, which seemed to be free to play in Simon's hands that night, was much larger than the average guitar because it was equipped with a full metal fire spitting system, but the weight was more than 20 kilograms, while ordinary guitars rarely exceeded 5 kilograms.

Of course, most people can afford to carry 20 kilograms of heavy objects.

However, for an instrument, with a weight of more than 20 kilograms, even if there are shoulder straps hanging on the body, probably few guitarists can fully play under this pendulum feeling.

Unless you are sitting.

However, few people should have the face to sit down and play it like holding an exquisite acoustic guitar.

It's a bit embarrassing to think about it.

Of course, even if there are obstacles, it still cannot stop many people from yearning for the flame guitar.

Afterwards, people wanted to buy the guitar from Simon through various channels, and the highest price was even $3 million, but they were rejected by Simon. Janet had already planned to store the guitar in their upcoming Dumei Point Manor Villa.

Because of the Flame Guitar, some media couldn't help but pay attention to Simon's powerful personal force again. The videos of ten consecutive KO opponents in the Melbourne boxing ring at the beginning of the year were once again hyped.

Flame guitar is naturally out of reach for most people.

However, the guitar single record called "Fire" was officially launched on the subsequent Monday, and sales exceeded 1 million copies in just five days.

The other two new songs, "Hung Up" and "GhostTown", are planned to be released on the next album, so if fans want to collect them in advance, they can only look forward to the videotape of the recently released concert.

Of course, a large number of people will definitely record videos of the concert that night using home video recorders.

In addition to Madonna's team, the biggest beneficiary of this concert was undoubtedly ABC's quotation of $6 million, which was bought with a large sum of $36 million, which brought ABC an average of 36 million and a maximum of 43 million horror viewers.

Such ratings are already comparable to those of the Oscars.

However, the Oscars, the quotation of $6 million is nothing to think about.

Although the gains are huge, everyone also understands that there is too much irrepeatability in this concert.

In order to ensure the box office of the concert itself, most singers will not easily allow the TV station to broadcast live. After all, doing so may make a big profit in the short term, but it will hurt the enthusiasm of fans to watch it live.

The Madonna team naturally understood this truth. This time, the live broadcast was adopted, which was more for publicity.

Now, the effect is far beyond expectations.

After the concert that night, although Westeros will not participate again, Madonna's remaining concert tickets for various concerts in North America and Europe will be sold out in the next few days.

Of course, there is no shortage of controversy in the hot media topic discussion.

When Simon finally appeared, the petite girl named Jennifer rushed onto the stage, and was once suspected by many media that it was a pre-arranged childcare.

As for the reason.

Many media thought that the scene at that time was really perfect.

A beautiful girl as delicate as a doll.

Westeros was just right to comfort.

And, the last song "Rocket man" by Elton John.

Especially the last song "Rocket Man", it has become a bug that many skeptics accused of.

For commercial concerts, no matter what kind of songs are covered, even the singer’s own original songs sometimes require special authorization.

If Simon Westeros does not obtain authorization from Elton John and the copyright holder of "Rocket Man" in advance and sing this song at will, it would be infringement and would be sued.

However, the subsequent news broke the media's doubts one by one.

The whole thing was indeed an accident.

The 17-year-old girl from Florida named Jennifer Brie, apart from being a crazy fan of Simon, had never had any substantial sexual intercourse with Simon before. This was the first time the girl met Simon herself that night.

As for the song "Rocket man".

Simon did infringement.

However, afterwards, Madonna's team immediately contacted Elton John and the record company that holds the copyright of "Rocket Man".

After learning about the situation at that time, another copyright fee was paid, and all parties agreed to this.

In an interview with the media, Elton John also praised Simon's singing at that time, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate.

Moreover, when the old song "Rocket Man" released in 1972 quickly reached the second place in the singles best-selling chart in the following week, the copyright company of the song was overjoyed.

Because Simon took Jennifer Brie to the backstage after singing "Rocket Man", the petite girl later became the focus of media attention, and information that should not be exposed was discovered by the media.

Jennifer Brie is from Miami, Florida. She is from an ordinary middle-class family. Her father is an employee of a food company, her mother is a nurse, and her family has an older brother and a younger sister. The girl started to be obsessed with Simon since "Rolla Run". She saved up money for several years through odd jobs, and spent all of her money on a concert ticket that night.

I took the train alone from Miami to New York and waited outside the Brenda Baire Stadium for a whole day, my pockets were empty, and I didn't even find the place to stay after the concert.

After finishing singing that night, Simon originally wanted to send the girl off the stage, but she felt that the little girl was obviously in a bad state of mind, and found that she was alone, so she took her to the backstage. When she learned about the girl's situation, she also arranged a hotel and a plane ticket back to Miami for her.

That's all.

After doing what he thought he should do, he sent a lonely girl home safely, and Simon stopped paying attention to this matter.

However, the media, which is full of gossip, doesn't think so.

Some people speculated whether something happened that night, some people chased the girl's little bits of contact with Simon, and even an agency tried to sign the girl.

But none of these have anything to do with Simon.

The day after the concert, Simon left North America and flew to Australia.

Cersei Fund Management has begun a new stage of layout for the international crude oil market. Apollo Management is conducting a Simmons acquisition case, and Black Rock Asset Management also plans to buy at the bottom when the war triggers turmoil in the world stock market.

It can be said that the upcoming July is crucial for Cersei Capital, and Janet did not return to Australia with Simon this time.

Jennifer accompanied him as planned.

During this period, the female assistant personally built a wooden house on the shore of a lake in Simon's territory in Tasmania. She was waiting for a snowy day to come and spent a long-awaited two-person world with Simon.

In Melbourne, "Batman: The Dark Knight" officially started filming a week before Simon arrived in Australia.

Considering the benefits of "Batman: The Moment of War" to Melbourne movies, tourism and employment, the discounts enjoyed by "Batman: The Dark Knight" have been further increased, with the tax refund ratio increasing to 20% compared to the last time of 15%, and there are still no restrictions on other films attached.

Simon did not deliberately exploit any loopholes because of the relaxed conditions of the Melbourne city government. Instead, he transferred more production links of the film to Australia. He also bought an abandoned factory used for filming in the western suburbs of Melbourne last time and planned to build a film shooting base.

Daenerys Special Effects Australia Branch was also officially established.

In terms of specific shooting, although movie fans have complained about Simon's use of Jane De Bonter, in fact, as Daenerys and Warner Bros. said publicly, the control of the film is still firmly in Simon's hands.

The script was finalized by Simon himself, and Jane De Bunt had no power to modify it unless Simon could be convinced.

The crew is also all teams developed by Simon last time, which is enough to ensure that the technical details of the film are consistent with the first one.

Moreover, although Jane De Bonter is a nominal director, Simon also arranged two other deputy for him, Roland Emmerich and Martin Campbell. The three of them were later first-tier directors in Hollywood. They all had enough film production experience, and there was no doubt about their talent.

Simon's request was to work closely together for the three of them, and many things were then carried out through joint discussions.

After brainstorming, although Jane De Bunt had the final decision-making power on the shooting site, Simon believed that De Bunt, who cherished this opportunity, could not be unwilling to absorb the correct suggestions made by the other two.

In addition, Simon still invited Joe Silvo to serve as the producer in charge of the logistics support of "Batman: The Dark Knight".

With this series of advantages, if Jane De Bunt can still mess up, Simon will decisively kick him out.

The fact is that Jane De Bunt was naturally not kicked out.

Simon rushed to Melbourne and carefully checked the sample films shot by the crew a week ago. He became very confident in becoming a hand-off manager.

Of course, in media reports, in order to appease the fans' concerns about the quality of the film, Simon still "conscientiously" followed up on the filming of the film throughout the filming.

Before we knew it, time soon came to July 1990.

Simon is not in Los Angeles, Daenerys Entertainment still started the financial audit work in the first half of the year step by step, and Janet occasionally helps with both.

Moreover, it was not just Daenerys Entertainment, because Simon participated in that concert some time ago and attracted attention, some media listed it and found that since entering Los Angeles in the summer of 1986, Simon Westeros had created a huge business empire in just four years.

The entire Westeros system is centered on Westeros, covering four major fields: entertainment, fashion, technology and finance.

What’s even more rare is that none of these four major areas involved are small-scale quarrels.

Among them, Daenerys Entertainment, although its business scope is limited to movies and its surrounding related industries, has been firmly ranked among the giants in just a few years.

The original strong uncertainty and unsustainability curse of the film industry in terms of performance was also broken by Daenerys Entertainment.

Since its establishment, Daenerys Entertainment has never suffered too much loss in film projects. Instead, it has repeatedly made big fuss with small gains, creating box office miracles such as "Scream", "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural Sense" and "The Pretty Beauty".

The launch of the DC Film Universe Project has allowed the industry to see a new way to develop the film industry.

In the fashion field, Gucci, which was originally on the verge of bankruptcy, quickly regained its vitality after being taken over by Simon Westeros. Recently, industry institutions value Gucci by more than US$1 billion. Compared with the initial investment, Simon Westeros has only received several times in terms of equity.

The technology industry can be said to be the first area where Simon Westeros first bets.

Although Egret, one of Westeros’ four ‘women’, seems to be weak, the stock prices of companies such as Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, SUN, etc. that Westeros bet on during the 1987 stock market crash have been increasing rapidly in recent years.

Especially Microsoft.

Since the release of Windows 3.0 system in May and its success, Microsoft's stock price has continued to rise sharply, and now it has exceeded US$5 billion, catching up with Microsoft's close partner Intel.
