Hollywood Hunter

Simon returned to Los Angeles this time, and the main work for the next week was to finalize the final plans for the two projects of "The Flash" and "Wonder Woman" in the dc movie universe plan, including the script, main creative, budget and other details.

In addition, after repeated consideration during this period, Simon also intends to re-plan the dc movie universe's promotion plan.

Next year's two dc film universe project films "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "The Flash" have been confirmed, and the 1992 summer file "Wonder Woman" is also confirmed.

These can no longer be changed.

However, Simon hopes to adjust the "Superman" originally planned to be released at the end of 1992 to the summer of 1993. "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", "Suicide Squad", "Batman v Superman" and other dc film universe projects are also planned. Appropriately postponed, and eventually a production rhythm of one part a year or three parts a year is formed, instead of the original intensive two parts a year.

The 90s in Hollywood in the original time and space was an era of great films.

By doing this, Simon can prevent superhero movies from prematurely invading the big screen, giving the once shining "Jurassic Park", "Lone Force Day", "Forrest Gump", "Men in Black", and "Tornado" , "Shawshank’s Redemption", "Scent of a Woman", "Cry Game", etc. or excellent commercial or literary movies to reserve enough market space to realize Hollywood’s prosperity. On the other hand, these superhero movies can also be used in More adequate preparation time for scripts and special effects.

Especially special effects.

Because Daenerys special effects company was established in advance and spared no effort to invest in the research and development of cg technology, Daenerys Entertainment's accumulation of special effects technology at this time has reached the technology that can produce the original space-time 1993 "Jurassic Park" level.

In the first half of the year, Daenerys Entertainment received the unpublished "Jurassic Park" adaptation rights from Michael Clayton in advance. Under Simon’s orders, Daenerys’s special effects team took only one month to produce There is a fragment of cg dinosaurs that is enough to fake it.

As for the "Terminator" being filmed, the liquid metal robot special effects, Daenerys special effects company's team is more than enough to handle it.

However, the restarted version of "Superman" in the Simon project hopes to refer to Zach Schneider's version of "Superman: Man of Steel" in memory, to achieve the kind of devastating effect when Clark Kent fought with General Zod. The horror effect, Daenerys's special effects technology accumulation is far from enough.

Second, Simon hopes that the level of special effects of this version of "Superman" can reach the level of "Independence Day" in 1996 in the original time and space. To achieve this, it will take at least one year for targeted technology research and development.

I returned to Los Angeles at nine o'clock last night and worked as usual on Saturday.

After a busy day, in the evening, the female assistant knocked on the door and entered Simon's office with a black suit in her hand. The female assistant's female assistant followed behind the female assistant, holding a shoe box.

Simon looked up from the project materials of "Anti-Wisdom Fighting" and said with a smile: "It's just a party. We can just go there after dinner, don't we need to change clothes?"

Jennifer asked the follower to put down the shoe box and send each other out, saying: "Many people, and this is what Jenny had sent back from Europe yesterday. She said that if you were dressed in a public event when she was away, If it’s a joke, my salary will be deducted."

Simon was wearing only a shirt. Seeing the female assistant took out the jacket from the dust jacket and walked over, she stood up and cooperated. He smiled and said, "Is your salary paid by me?"

"Yes," the female assistant nodded, unfolded the suit for the man to put on, and said: "So, both of you and your wife are bullying me."

"..."

The female assistant graciously helped Simon to fasten the buttons, took a look back, nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Why are you not talking?"

"I'm thinking about how to bully you tonight."

The female assistant gave Simon a white look and passed the trousers over, saying: "I have made Neil and the others ready. After the party, I will go to Seattle. I really like the house on the island in the heart of Lake Washington. We will be back on Monday. ."

"..."

The female assistant took out a pair of custom-made leather shoes from the shoe box, held it in her hand and watched Simon change his trousers. Seeing that he was silent, she curled up her mouth: "What's wrong?"

"I thought you would let me bully others."

"I'm not Jenny, I won't let you bully others."

"Aren't you Jenny?"

"No."

"You didn't say that last time."

"Last time was last time."

Simon put on his trousers, took the leather shoes from the female assistant, sat on the leather chair and began to change shoes, saying: "So, you people on earth are really uncreative in naming names. In the future, the right to name your children will belong to me. "

The female assistant took away the trousers and shoes that Simon had changed, and said, "You can make a special one first."

"You just said where we were going tonight?"

"Seattle."

"The name is good."

"what?"

"Seattle, Seattle Westeros."

The female assistant was about to put the leather shoes in her hand into the shoebox just now, and she blinked her eyes and joked in a small tone: "You can give this name to Jenny's child in the future, and she will be very happy."

"Yes, just give this Jenny in front of you."

"I do not want."

"No, I'm a father, I have the final say."

"I suddenly don't want to go to Seattle tonight. I'm going to, um... Hawaii."

"No, I can only go to Seattle, I can only call Seattle, I am a father, I have the final say."

"..."

The question about children is actually a bit sensitive.

Simon and Janet have been trying hard to give birth to a baby since they got married, but after half a year of busy work, Janet's belly has remained silent. In fact, there is some expectation in Simon's bones that he can give birth to a group of super rich second-generation little **** and turn the world upside down.

However, this kind of thing is not anxious at all.

In the last days at the Tasmanian cabin, the female assistant actually talked to Simon about this. She hopes to have a child when she is 30 years old, even if she doesn’t have a name with her own surname. Simon also agreed, of course, the child would naturally have the surname Westeros.

Simon also talked to Janet about this. The woman didn't say anything, except that she bit Simon's ear severely several times that night and almost held it in her dream.

After getting dressed, Simon and the two had dinner at the company's in-house restaurant in the administrative district, and it was already dark.

Because the main building and interior decoration are more complex than other buildings in the studio, the large activity center on the second floor of Daenerys Studios has finally opened for use recently. The celebration party that "Intersection of Life" won the Venice Golden Lion Award can be said to be the first large-scale gathering after the opening of the activity center.

Said to celebrate the "Intersection of Life" won the Golden Lion Award, but it actually counts as a comprehensive celebration after Daenerys Entertainment's summer file ends.

Not only the team of "Intersection of Life", Daenerys Entertainment has made great success at the box office this past summer, "Human Ghosts Are Not Ending", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Sleep with the Enemy", "Shaking Cradle" The main creators of films such as "The Hand" and the previous "Pretty Woman in Wind and Moon" were invited.

As of late September, "Pretty Beautiful Lady", which was scheduled for Valentine's Day at the beginning of the year, has been officially released in North America, and the film's local box office finally reached 178 million US dollars. Moreover, the cumulative overseas box office of "Pretty Woman in Wind and Moon" is even better than that in North America, and has recently exceeded the 200 million US dollar mark.

According to estimates by Daenerys Entertainment Distribution Department, the global box office of "Pretty Girl" is expected to reach $450 million.

With an investment of US$10 million, only US$450 million can be recovered at the global box office. Even though Daenerys Entertainment has created many miracles in recent years, such box office results have surprised the entire Hollywood.

However, this is not over yet.

At the beginning of the summer season, Daenerys Entertainment’s fantasy romance film "Human and Ghost Is Coming" unknowingly became popular again. When the tear-jerking plot frantically harvested the tears of countless audiences, the film was released for more than three months and the box office was also steady. Promote.

From the opening of the painting on June 1 to Thursday, September 20, 16 weeks into the theater, the local box office of "Human and Ghosts Is Coming" has reached 181 million U.S. dollars, smoothly surpassing "Pretty Beautiful Lady". Moreover, the single-week box office volume of "Human Ghosts Are Coming" still reached 5 million U.S. dollars, hitting the 200 million U.S. dollar mark with almost no suspense.

Judging from the feedback from the overseas distribution market of "Human Ghost Love Is Unexpected" recently, the film's box office performance in overseas markets is no less than that of "Pretty Beautiful Lady".

Therefore, only the two films "Pretty Girl" and "Human and Ghost" are expected to bring more than 900 million U.S. dollars in box office revenue to Daenerys Entertainment, which is already the same as the " Batman: Hour of War" is comparable.

Excluding all costs, the profit scale of these two top-selling romance films at the box office will not be less than 300 million U.S. dollars. The subsequent derivative income, video tape income and TV broadcast income of the film, although it means a long payment for several years. Cycle, the expected revenue can reach about twice the box office profit of the film.

It is this series of well-received blockbuster projects that have supported Daenerys Entertainment's $10 billion valuation given by Forbes magazine.

In addition to "Pretty Girl in Wind and Moon" and "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts", the three films "Teenage Ninja Turtles", "Sleeping with the Enemy" and "Hands Shaking Cradle" are all regarded as great successes. The cumulative box office has reached The 119 million U.S. dollar "Teenage Ninja Turtles", along with the two films "Pretty Girl in the Wind" and "Human Ghosts Are Coming", is already destined to become the top ten movies in Daenerys Entertainment's 1990 box office list.

The excellent box office performance of the film produced by Daenerys Entertainment in this summer file is obviously more worthy of celebration than the "Intersection of Life" that just won the Venice Golden Lion Award.

However, most of the hundreds of guests from all parties who are attending the party tonight in the studio's event hall are for a certain young man.

Everyone knows that Simon Westeros is the hand of God who has created all these glories at the moment.

Moreover, the "Forbes" US 400 list released at the beginning of the month, Simon Westero's personal net worth of 21 billion US dollars, made his influence in Hollywood even more prosperous.

An interesting story spread in the circle during this time.

Los Angeles-based "Premier" magazine has been discussing the production of a list of Hollywood powerful figures since the first half of this year, and Simon Westerboen is the undoubted first candidate. However, when "Forbes" magazine released this year's wealth list, "Premier" magazine simply cancelled its plan to make this list.

Because, the guy at the top of the list is so dazzling.

Everyone knows Simon Westeros, and everyone will only see Simon Westeros.

As for the people who ranked second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninety... They are not like John Kruger and Warren after Simon Westero on the Forbes list. Buffett and others are so well-known. Therefore, even if these people are listed one by one after Simon Westero, there are probably few people who care about it.

Since no one cares, it doesn't make much sense to list such a list.

In the hall.

The president of Columbia Pictures, John Peters, who was chatting with Bruce Willis and Demi Moore and expecting them to join a film of his own, heard his little girlfriend leaning in his ear and saying something, and immediately asked Willie The Sis raised their glasses and walked towards the entrance of the hall.

At the same time, the crowd in the entire hall seemed to suddenly feel some kind of powerful attraction, and there was an obvious commotion.

Although everyone knew that it was Simon Westero who had arrived, there were more than 600 guests in the hall at this time. Even if the heart is restless, it is impossible to rush over together.

Therefore, most people quickly calmed down again, or pretended to calm down, only a few guests who thought they were qualified to join Simon Westero moved their feet.

Simon was wearing the black Armani suit that he had put on before dinner, and the female assistant was wearing a simple white long dress. The two appeared side by side in the hall, with a very obvious sense of CP.

However, Simon is no longer a bachelor after all, and the present situation is too public. Therefore, the female assistant did not hold Simon's arm, but just stood beside Simon a little distance like a real assistant, and occasionally came to remind him to come forward. The identity of the guest who said hello.

"This is Barbara Brockley, and her half brother Michael Wilson."

I just chatted with Joe Rose, the president of Fox Pictures, and saw a pair of strange men and women walking side by side, noticed Simon's doubts, and the female assistant quickly reminded them softly.

Just introducing the names of the two, Simon understood their identities.

Heirs of the Brookly family who hold half the copyright of the 007 series and have long-term control over the production rights of the spy series.

Everyone shook hands and greeted each other, and Barbara Brockley, who was obviously more talkative, talked about the latest 007.

MGM has stabilized and 007's copyright dispute has been resolved smoothly. The Brookly family and MGM management can now devote themselves to the production of "007 Golden Eye", which has already completed the script.

However, Barbara Block City is obviously not satisfied with Simon's insistence on changing the actor of the 007 series: "Simon, the 007 series should be a matter between the Bullock family and MGM, right? I think it is necessary. There is no need to change the actor, it should be our own problem."
