Chapter 615

Before leaving for melisandro's party, girl a has sorted out the results of this year's Oscars.

Relying on all 29 nominations, danielis entertainment has won 10 small gold medals in the Oscars, including 7 out of 12 in Schindler's list, 6 out of 2 in lion king, and the last one is the best foreign language film of wedding banquet.

In addition to the direct release of danylis entertainment films, the related awards include the best actor of "Philadelphia Story" creator Tom Hanks and the best visual effect of last summer's "Superman".

All in all, this year's Oscar non honorary achievement category is directly related to the 24 awards of the film, and Denise entertainment takes half of them. Only one of the four core awards for best film, best director, best actor and best actress failed.

Arriving at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, the car was about to turn directly into the hotel parking lot, but Simon noticed that there seemed to be some disturbance at the door of the hotel.

He didn't stop the driver until he entered the melisandro party at sunset tower bar on the top floor of the hotel. Simon asked Angela arenz, "what's going on out there?"

Sophia faessy didn't come to the United States this time. Angela arenz, who has been promoted to Gucci CEO, is in charge of this year's party.

Hearing Simon's inquiry, Angela said: "several media of Hurst group are not satisfied, and we suddenly disqualified them from interviewing."

Media that pay attention to melisandro party can be divided into three levels. At the first time, they can only take photos of stars on the street outside the hotel. These are basically non-standard tabloids. At the next level, they can enter the hotel, take photos in front of the official photo wall and interact with the stars. Several important media of Hurst group were originally invited in this part. At the last level, they can be sent to the opposite party There are only two cooperative media, igritt portal of westero system and Vanity Fair magazine of cantenas group.

The media invitation list was originally agreed many days in advance.

Simon suddenly announced a war with the Hurst group in the morning. The top management of the Hurst family must have got the news, but the media probably didn't expect that they would be rejected by melisandro party immediately, and they would be treated as a third rate tabloid. Naturally, they were dissatisfied with this.

Knowing the reason, Simon told Angela to deal with it in person. Don't spoil everyone's interest, he took Katherine to join the party.

Most of the people who can be invited to melisandro's party are the top celebrities who have made great achievements in the entertainment and fashion circles in recent years, as well as a small number of celebrities in the political and business circles.

Girl a has already made a list ahead of time, and she is with Simon to lead him to the people who need to say hello.

In fact, many parties in the West are like this.

Melisandro's party theme is more relaxed, but it's also social. When people are chatting and laughing, they meet face to face and get familiar with each other. If they find an opportunity to cooperate in the chat, they can make further contact.

Simon is not a hospitable person in essence, and he doesn't like to contact people very much. However, since he is in the present position, what he should do is always to do.

It's OK to do whatever you want. No one can force him to do anything now.

However, if you really shut your eyes and listen, it will be very unfavorable, even quite dangerous, for Simon to control the westero system, even if he eventually becomes a puppet. At that time, Howard Hughes could be called a desolate evening scene, largely because his isolated personality led to his personal life being completely controlled by the people around him.

Katherine has been patiently accompanying Simon as a female companion, listening to the obvious estrangement between the little man and Spielberg, but talking happily, listening to him eating some vermeen angels' tofu in a skillful tone, listening to his friendly voice to encourage the Backstreet boys who will release their first album on Friday, and listening to his impolite refusal to play the role of wonder woman The request of famik Jensen to play the leading role in a pirate movie

I've known each other for so many years. It seems that except for the fight and fainting in the hospital bed, the little man can do everything with ease.

I don't know how he grew up like this.

"Yes, Roland, I've read your script about alien invasion of the earth. The name of Independence Day is also very good. It can be a blockbuster with more than 50 million dollars. But it's a pity, you know, there will be Jurassic Park 2 in the summer next year, and the super baton war directed by you at the end of the year, so we'd better put this project in the summer of 1996. "

As for the intersection of DC movie universe, Simon, after considering among Jane debond, Roland Emmerich and Martin Campbell, chose Roland Emmerich, who is good at multi line narration, to be the director of Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice, which will be released at the end of next year. If the effect is good enough, Emmerich will also be the director of justice alliance be responsible for.

Roland Emmerich, as a screenwriter and producer, has completed star gate, which works with new director Michael Bay. The effect of the film is better than Simon's version in memory. Therefore, it has won the schedule on May 13, which is basically a summer season. Moreover, there are still three weeks' tickets for the Super Big Mac Batman: the rise of the dark knight on June 3 Room play space, than the initial consideration of the Easter schedule is more quality.In the process of producing Stargate, Emmerich came up with the idea of independence day, because the cooperation between the two sides has been very happy. As soon as the script outline came out, danilisi entertainment bought it directly.

For Simon to put the film back a year, Emmerich has no opinion.

Next year's summer program, Jurassic Park 2 has been locked in June, and a large-scale production of Apollo 13 has been finalized in July. If another blockbuster is inserted, it is likely to cause internal consumption.

What's more, Roland Emmerich has another idea: "Simon, after super baton, I hope to direct this project myself."

Simon was a little surprised, then nodded quickly: "no problem, this project is your idea."

Originally, Simon wanted Michael Bay to try the project. However, Simon also understood why Roland Emmerich suddenly made such a request.

On the one hand, Emmerich probably wants to get rid of the shackles of DC movie universe series and broaden his career in Hollywood. On the other hand, he probably has some vigilance against Michael Bay.

Because after Michael Bay finished Stargate, he signed another super project Jurassic Park 2. Although Simon hasn't revealed his intention to direct "Independence Day" after Jurassic Park 2, Emmerich guessed it based on many signs.

After Spielberg decided to quit the Jurassic Park series, the sequel has been quietly brewing, not just the script. At present, the complete sub shot script of the second film and many simple animations of special effects have been completed, and Sam Neal and Renee Russell are also stars. The project can be started at any time.

Simon originally wanted Joe Johnston, the director of Jurassic Park 3 in his memory, to direct the new sequel. Johnston is also a very old Hollywood filmmaker. He was the special effects director of Star Wars series at that time and was very good at making special effects movies.

It's not just "Jurassic Park 3", "the game of the brave" and "Captain America" in Simon's memory. Before that, Joe Johnston had directed Disney's very popular "honey, I've made my child small".

However, because Johnston was born in the George Lucas family, and the friendship between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg is well known, Johnston chose to refuse after danielis entertainment issued the invitation.

Joe Johnston is reluctant to join, and Simon has also considered Martin Campbell, director of the new "Wonder Woman" series.

Although there is no sequel immediately after the first film of wonder woman, Martin Campbell has no lack of projects because of the success of the series. Last year's "speed of life and death", because the original director Jane de bond wanted to shoot Batman's third film "Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight", Simon transferred the project to Martin Campbell.

Then Campbell recently signed a director contract for the project with Paramount Pictures, which has already won "cut throat island.".

It's hard to say what the future of the new "cut throat island" is.

Simon didn't stop Campbell from taking over the project.

Anyway, "Wonder Woman" series contract has been signed, as long as dannilis entertainment needs, the other party must complete.

What's more, after the successive "Wonder Woman" and the upcoming "speed of life and death" which will be released in this summer release, "cut throat island" will only be a icing on the cake for Martin Campbell. If it fails, it can also make the director return to danilisi's entertainment work more "at ease".

So, for Jurassic Park 2, Simon finally decided to use Michael Bay after watching Stargate.

This decision is seen by many as very risky.

Simon is not worried.

The biggest difficulty of Jurassic Park series is special effects. In the first two directors' choices, Simon also tends to be controlled by the director who has the experience of making special effects movies. However, for daenerys entertainment, if you really can't find a director who has made special effects movies, it's not a problem.

Because the special effects team directly under danielis entertainment is very familiar with this series, not to mention that the script, sub lens and animation effects of many sequel special effects scenes have been completed. Therefore, we only need to promote an excellent special effects director from danielis special effects to cooperate with Michael Bay.

Moreover, the most fundamental reason is that Simon has enough confidence in the direction of Michael Bay.

Once the director of the explosion from the MV to Hollywood, in addition to a very complex failure reason "escape from clone island", the other did not miss.

For studios, the annual film schedule is limited.

For filmmakers, whether they are directors, actors or producers, Hollywood's film resources are also limited.

Roland Emmerich is obviously not satisfied with the success of Superman last year. Feeling the threat of Michael Bay, he instinctively starts to fight for it.To a large extent, Simon's memories of the types of films they are good at do have many similarities.

On the other hand, promising Roland Emmerich to direct "Independence Day" will not affect the speed of DC movie universe.

According to the DC movie universe plan, "Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice" will be released at the end of next year. This superhero masterpiece will bring DC series epic "Superman's death" event. This means that Superman will not be able to launch a sequel until he is resurrected in the League of justice.

Simon doesn't plan to start "justice alliance" immediately, but plans to launch "wonder woman 2", "lightning Man 2" and "suicide team 2" respectively as the foreshadowing. Although it seems that they are all personal superhero series, these three sequels will have a greater degree of super hero role crossover, including cat girl, steel bone and a series of villains in "suicide team" Will join them, just like the second and third of Marvel's Captain America.

As for "steel bone", although the first global box office was less than 600 million US dollars, which was the lowest box office of the DC movie universe series, Warner still hopes to start the sequel as soon as possible, just like the previous "flash" series, it was held down by Simon.

If we follow Warner's high-level thoughts, DC movie universe is not enough for two in a year, and other superheroes are bound to join in. The final result will only consume the audience's expectation of DC superheroes.

Simon has always been very strong on this.

If Warner doesn't follow his own plan, then we can shoot two pieces, and then Denise entertainment can happily start the marvel movie universe series. Simon holds the copyright of Batman, Superman and wonder woman DC. What's more, danielis entertainment and marvel series are the super spare tires. Warner has never won the initiative in this matter.

He continued to talk with Emmerich for a while, and they separated.

Hugh Grant, who is famous in Hollywood for his four weddings and a funeral, comes with his girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley.

Simon smiles, shakes hands with them, and introduces Catherine.

Catherine shook hands with them politely, only to hear that Elizabeth hollyby, with a young and delicate face opposite, eagerly invited Simon to sit on the terrace outside the bar for a while. She could not help frowning.

It's so beautiful!

It's the first goblin of the night.

What's more irritating is that the little man even promised to come down.

I really want to find a reason to go away. Just now, he actually said that if he didn't like social intercourse, he could talk with Ang Lee and other acquaintances for a while, but she never did.

Now.

Forget it, the obvious taste reaction of walking away now may make him lose face.

Men love face very much.

What's more, she would never admit that subconsciously, she would not like to Party these goblins to succeed.

Four people came to the balcony outside the top floor bar. There were also a few guests here. There was no vacancy. When they saw Simon appeared, they all got up to greet him.

Simon exchanged greetings with the crowd for a moment. He chose a sofa near the railing that several guests gave up to sit down. This table and chair is in a rectangular "back" layout. There is a long table in the middle. Facing the railing, there are two four person sofas inside and outside. On both sides are single person sofas. A total of ten people can sit down.

Simon took the initiative to choose the armrest position on one side of the sofa when he sat down. Catherine sat next to him.

Elizabeth Hurley, who offered to come to the terrace, was not forgotten. Instead, she sat down next to Catherine and Hugh Grant on the other side. In addition, there are young new generation filmmakers like kenu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, rivan Phoenix, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow and David finch.

Looking at the people around, Elizabeth Hurley, who had expected to get in touch with vesterodo, realized that the result must be the same as the party at the Sundance Film Festival at the end of January. At that time, many people, especially women, hoped to get the favor of westero. As a result, because there were too many people, they didn't say a few words.

However, that night, a girl from Canada named Mia koshner was taken in. The other party recently signed a contract with wma, and words came out. Westero said that the other party might be better than Winona Rhett, whom ICM has been advocating in recent years, so she wants to make a great success.

Lucky girl!

Elizabeth Hurley was expecting her thoughts. Simon sat down and asked, "what are you talking about?"

Sandra sat directly opposite Simon and said, "just now Moore was talking about the supernatural events she encountered during her filming of evocation."

So Sandra looked at Simon jokingly.

It's rumored that Simon westero is a psychic. This matter is very marketable in Hollywood. Even Sandra has asked Simon privately whether he can see ghosts. Simon's answer is yes, of course. Otherwise, how could he be so gifted? Sandra's response is just white eyed.Last year, after the copyright of the supernatural investigator Warren and his wife was secured, the space project of evocation was quietly launched.

Simon originally planned to take the "morgue haunted event", which can only be regarded as the derivative series, as the first one. Now that the copyright has been successfully settled, he still plans to start from "evocation". By this time, the film has been completed. On June 17, Batman: the rise of the Dark Knight started two weeks later. Another derivative series, ghost in the morgue, is scheduled for October 28 as the main feature of this year's Halloween.

Among them, Simon, the actor of Warren and his wife in the main line "evocation" series, personally confirmed Matthew modien and Julian Moore.

Julian Moore doesn't have to.

Matthew modien, 35, has been lukewarm in Hollywood before. Most of the time, for the audience, he can only be regarded as an actor with a familiar face but no name. However, when he was just 22 years old in 1983, he won the Venice Film emperor by relying on a Vietnam war movie "the northern lights", which is very similar to Valerie Gallino who plays the cat girl.

It is worth mentioning that in history, Matthew modien was the hero of "cut throat island".

Unfortunately, it took more than ten years for the actor to win the title of Venice Film emperor, and finally he won the leading role of a super blockbuster. No one expected that the film would fail so miserably that Matthew modien, who could have played the leading role once or twice, was completely reduced after "cut throat Island" and never had any chance to turn over.

Matthew modien and Julian Moore have signed five contracts for the series.

Now, if you get the hero of the "soul" series, you are bound to miss "cut throat island". Matthew modien's situation is completely changed. And so is Julian Moore, 33, who is a late bloomer. One is the Venetian film king, and the other has been honing on Broadway for many years. Both of them have excellent acting skills. What they have been missing is just opportunities.

Although it is difficult to make the leading role of a horror film popular, it is also very easy to make a transition when playing in a horror film.

Both of them just sat here, just to make room for Simon, they got up and went to other places.

A lot of horror film sets often spread supernatural events, some may be true, most of them are propaganda gimmicks. We talked and laughed about the supernatural events on the set of evocation. Simon did not shy away from his psychic influence. He also played a guest role as a diviner and pretended to give Sandra a divination. The result is that Sandra will inevitably encounter a "disaster of blood" in the next month.

Everyone didn't understand this relatively obscure joke for a moment, until Elizabeth Holly beside Katherine burst out laughing. Everyone burst into laughter one after another, and Sandra jumped over and gave Simon a hard pinch.

For a moment, Simon turns to David Finch and asks about the next movie plan of the new director, who made a hit with seven sins last year.

Last year's "seven sins" in the Halloween season, relying on the quality of the film itself and Denise Entertainment's efforts to launch the Internet channel, eventually the cumulative box office in North America reached 135 million US dollars. The overseas distribution of the film is still going on, but it has reached 193 million US dollars in the near future, and some overseas ticket warehouses will probably earn 30 million to 50 million US dollars at the box office.

It is estimated that the global box office of seven crimes will reach about 370 million US dollars after the completion of overseas distribution.

With a production budget of 30 million US dollars and a global box office of 370 million US dollars, the box office returns are more than ten times. This alone has pushed David finch to the forefront of Hollywood directors.

But David finch has never been a productive director.

After "seven sins", this Hollywood rising star has not decided on his next film plan. Denise entertainment also recommended several scripts, but finch didn't like them.

David finch listened to Simon's question and said: "I recently received a very good script. The idea came from a group decryption game in the 1980s. It tells the story of a billionaire who lost interest in life because of his rough experience. He received an invitation letter to decrypt the game by accident. From then on, his life fell into reality and fantasy..."

When finch explained the story, Simon remembered that it was another work of the other side, psychological game, starring Michael Douglas, an old Hollywood actor, with a budget of $50 million, but the box office was not very successful.

Many plays in Hollywood have been written for many years. Simon once paid great attention to this problem. The first plays he chose were produced only when he judged that there would be no crash according to the information in his memory.

"Psychological game" is obviously a script that has been completed for many years, but it didn't succeed. Simon didn't care.

It's not surprising that it fell into the hands of finch as it used to be, because it also involves the aspect of "Hollywood is very small". Many filmmakers often have their own fixed circles. In these circles, what will not intersect may always be parallel lines that can be met. Even if they encounter Simon, the super butterfly, they will still meet.David finch is another filmmaker on Denise's entertainment reserve list.

Even if the box office of "psychological game" is not as good as expected, the director is definitely worthy of long-term cooperation. Therefore, if the other party insists on shooting the film, Simon will also agree.

In any case, daenerys entertainment also needs some failed projects to "decorate the appearance". What's more, Finch's films may not be successful at the box office, but the quality is absolutely excellent. They are often popular with fans in channels such as video tapes.

After finch's introduction, Simon said he could send the script to himself.

Party time flies in the constant social intercourse.

Near eleven o'clock, for many night owls, the night life in the city of angels has just begun, but Simon plans to leave.

I have to work tomorrow.

Katherine leaves the party with Simon, gets on the bus and lets Simon take her home as if nothing had happened.

Simon, as if nothing had happened, told the driver to go directly to domay point manor.

Women stare at each other.

Simon coaxed the little girl to say that the family had just raised a group of beautiful goldfish, so he could take Catherine back to have a look.

Catherine, with a look of "you're cheating on the little girl", eventually returned to domay point manor together.

Simon and his wife are not pet material, therefore, goldfish is certainly not, there are also in the sea under the cliff of domay point. Since I was cheated back home, hum, it's useless to be angry, and no one will pay attention to breaking my throat.
