"Nominations for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy at the Golden Globe Awards: Mia Farrow, "Alice"; Julia Roberts, "Pretty Girl"; Andy McDowell, "Green Card Love "; Demi Moore, "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts"; Meryl Streep, "Postcards from the Edge."

On the stage of the Hilton Hotel Ballroom.

Morgan Freeman, the winner of the last Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy category, introduced the nominations, smiled and torn open the envelope in his hand, took a look, and quickly said into the microphone: "The winner is, Julie Congratulations, Ya Roberts."

There was warm applause.

Julia Roberts, who wore a white one-shoulder evening dress tonight, stood up from the round table where she was in disbelief, and hugged the surrounding "Pretty Beautiful Ladies" creators, stumbling with her skirt. On the stage.

Taking the trophy from Morgan Freeman, the big-mouthed beauty came to the microphone, still a little uncontrollable, and couldn't help covering her mouth.

The audience applauded again with great face.

"Really, unbelievable, like a dream," Julia Roberts, who is actually only 23 years old this year, finally spoke after a while, squatting in front of the microphone and saying: "First of all, I want to thank Simon, there would be no without him. Everything I have now..."

At a round table in the back of the banquet hall, Janet heard the speech from the big-mouthed beauty on the stage, put up a finger and dangled in front of Simon's eyes, and said: "The sixth time, I was thinking, just forgot to thank Your Michael Blake, will you fidget now?"

The awards ceremony continues to the present, and Daenerys Entertainment has won 7 awards, including 5 movie awards and 2 TV awards, including the best actress in the musical comedy category just won. Seven award speeches, of which six winners expressed their gratitude to Simon, only "Dancing with Wolves" screenwriter Michael Blake did not mention it.

Simon reached out to pinch on Janet’s beautiful fingertips, was avoided by the woman, and did not chase, and whispered: "Too many times."

I remember that there are good things in the original time and space. The Hollywood celebrities who have been thanked the most at the Oscars, the top-ranked Steven Spielberg and Harvey Weinstein have accumulated only 30 or 40 times over the years.

Naturally, the Golden Globes cannot be compared with the Oscars. However, with this momentum tonight, Simon feels that it will not take many years before he will set a record for the number of times he has been thanked at various award ceremonies.

Simon doesn't want to make himself appear ubiquitous at all, he prefers to be the'behind the scenes'.

Janet knew her man's mind very well, and said, "You can tell Deutschman after the party."

On the stage, Julia Roberts finished her speech, and the host took the stage to warm up for a while, and then began the award of the best actor in the drama category.

Kevin Costner has won the best director award of this year’s Golden Globe Awards. However, his performance in "Dancing with Wolves" did not have many highlights. Unsurprisingly, he lost to the "Destiny's Jeremy Irons with superb performance in "Reversal".

Jeremy Irons is the actor who plays Butler Afu in the big version of Batman.

Not surprisingly, Jeremy Irons will win this year's Oscar for Best Actor. The middle-aged actor from the UK, who is in his early forties this year, has excellent appearance and acting skills, but unfortunately, bad luck. Since entering Hollywood in the 1980s, he has participated in several commercial films that have not been successful at the box office.

Hollywood is very superstitious.

After several consecutive film box office failures, it is often difficult for actors to get quality projects from the studio. With fewer resources, it's getting harder and harder to stand up.

After the best actor in a drama, the best film in a drama is immediately followed.

"Dancing with Wolves" successfully defeated "Good Guy", "Intersection of Life", "The Godfather 3" and "Reversal of Destiny" and won the best film award in the drama category.

According to statistics, all the 13 film awards with high attention in this Golden Globe Awards, only the film produced by Daenerys Entertainment won 6, which are the best film in the drama category of "Dancing with Wolves" , Kevin Costner's best director, Susan Sarandon's best actress in a drama, Julia Roberts's best actress in a musical comedy, and the best screenwriter of "Dancing with Wolves" Best supporting actress with Ubi Goldberg.

Almost half of the awards are in the limelight.

Although it was a celebration party for Daenerys Entertainment, after the awards ceremony, many stars were invited to Malibu Daenerys Studios.

Daenerys Entertainment's party after the Oscars has been booked by Gucci, and the celebration party after the Golden Globes is held in the name of Eaglet.

The development of the Westeros system in the Internet industry not only means AOL’s free trial and Igreat’s massive content investment, but also means sparing no effort in advertising.

The Eaglet website not only advertises on TV networks and various types of print media platforms, but now also has a spokesperson. Sandra Bullock, as a star user of the Igreat blog and his personal relationship with Simon, easily grabbed this job. In the 1930s, he took away 5 million US dollars a year with a deadline.

After Simon and Janet left the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, they went to the Palisades mansion and asked Janet to change clothes before rushing to Daenerys Studios.

After delaying some time, after taking pictures in front of the photo wall with the logos of Daenerys and Igrett, I entered the party hall of the Studio Activity Center, which was already overcrowded.

Perhaps someone was specially arranged to stare. As soon as the Simon and his wife entered the party hall, Kevin Costner brought the screenwriter Michael Blake of "Dancing with Wolves" over to say hello.

Janet listened to Michael Blake's words mixed with a bit of anxiety expressing her joy of winning the award and her gratitude to Simon, and she inadvertently cast a "I guessed it" look at her man.

Simon certainly doesn't care about Michael Blake's details of forgetting to thank himself when he wins the prize. If he doesn't even have this belly, then the day will not be over, so he also made a few words to appease him.

When Kevin Costner and Michael Blake left, Simon asked the head of Highgate Films to call Ella Docman: "That's it, you say hello to the public relations of those nominees , The next Oscars, including future awards ceremonies, don’t thank me anymore."

Ella Deutschman was puzzled: "Simon, is there any problem?"

Simon shook his head and smiled: "No, that's what I meant just now. I don't want the name of Simon Westero to be everywhere at the awards ceremony in the future, it will make people feel like I am manipulating the award.

Ella Deutschman finally nodded and said, "I understand."

After explaining the matter, Simon changed the subject at random and asked: "So, how is the shooting progress of "Falling Piano"?"

The two chatted casually for a while, during which Janet saw Catherine and walked over to join the women.

Dismissed Ella Deutschman, the female assistant quietly appeared beside Simon, and accompany him for a while in the crowd. Amy Pascal came with another guest, but it was Steven Spear. Berg.

Simon greeted him with a smile, shook hands with Spielberg, and said, "Good evening, Steven."

Spielberg also smiled and shook hands with Simon, but there were some complicated emotions in his expression.

This young man who has risen rapidly in Hollywood in just a few years is now his boss. Spielberg made his debut as a contracted director under Universal Pictures. After he became famous with "Jaws", the original long contract was replaced with several film contracts, and he still owes the contract of three films to Universal.

Because of the promotion of the year, Spielberg and MCA’s two principals, Lou Vasalman and Sid Simberg, are very close. At the moment, Daenerys Entertainment’s acquisition of MCA has been firmly established, Lou Va Salman and Sid Simberg were kicked out of the MCA by Simon Westero, which made Spielberg feel even more mixed.

However, the contract still has to be followed.

Amy Pascal has been discussing his next directed film with Spielberg recently, which is a science fiction adaptation of the film called "Jurassic Park." If Spielberg is willing, the project can be placed under the name of Universal Pictures, this year's preparations, the shooting will start early next year, and the schedule is set at the end of 1992.

The blockbuster "Captain Hawk", which was co-produced with Colombia last year, has been completed and is now entering the post-production stage.

Although the project was carefully held by Colombia, Spielberg had already faintly felt during the filming process that the film was likely to be a disaster, a personal waterloo, and he was exhausted for it.

Therefore, after receiving Daenerys Entertainment's proposal, even if his heart shows some instinctive resistance to Simon Westeros, Spielberg said he would consider it carefully. After all, Daenerys Entertainment's projects have always been very secure in terms of box office.

Amy Pascal also promised him that Daenerys Entertainment could support the filming of the movie "Schindler's List" that reproduces the Holocaust during World War II as long as he takes over "Jurassic Park." ".

Everyone exchanged a few words at random, and when Spielberg walked away, Simon asked Amy, "How was the talk?"

"Steven agreed, but we still have to talk to Ovitz regarding the remuneration." Amy said, adding: "Steven’s previous film contracts were shared by omni-channel profits. Just like the 20% omni-channel profit sharing of "Captain Hawke", Ovitz is still inclined to this. I have contacted Ovitz several times, and his side is a little loose, agreeing to accept similarities to John Hughes Box office sharing agreement, but Ovitz wants about $10 million for Steven’s basic salary."

Daenerys Entertainment originally signed two film contracts with John Hughes. The salary package was a base salary of US$5 million plus a 10% local box office share. Such an agreement is actually very generous and allows filmmakers to have a shorter period. Get the reward that you deserve.

In the original time and space, the "Jurassic Park" contract signed by Spielberg was a basic salary plus 20% omni-channel share.

Because of the global sales of "Jurassic Park", Spielberg only took $250 million from the first part of "Jurassic Park."

After Panasonic acquired MCA, it clearly had a super-seller like "Jurassic Park", but still sold the MCA to Seagram a few years later. A large part of the reason was that the film lost money, and the loss was almost all Panasonic assumed it, but the film made money, especially for projects like "Jurassic Park", where most of the profits were taken away by Hollywood filmmakers, and Panasonic could only be taken advantage of in any way.

Simon once considered directing "Jurassic Park" personally. Now, he obviously doesn't have the time, so it seems appropriate to hand over the project to the original crew.

Of course, this omni-channel sharing contract will definitely not be considered, but a basic salary plus box office sharing agreement similar to John Hughes is given.

If "Jurassic Park" can still get the super high box office of the original time and space, with Simon's agreement, Spielberg's personal income can still reach forty to fifty million US dollars, which is of course a sky-high price. However, Simon thinks it is worth the money. A director who can create a global box office of $1 billion is definitely worth the price.

In comparison, the 250 million US dollars in the original time and space exceeded Simon's tolerance.

Simon did not express too much opinion on Ovitz’s basic salary. He just nodded, let Amy continue to talk, and asked, “What about Schindler’s List?”

"Steven has always had some concerns. He doesn't know how to express some of the emotional transitions in the film, but he is grateful for your support of this film."

Amy said so, with something different on her face.

The project "Schindler's List" has been circulating in Hollywood since the 1980s. After so many years of delay, the film’s original author Thomas Kennelly often called Spielberg to complain half-truths about whether he could Before he died, he saw the project being put on the big screen. He was already very old.

In the final analysis, "Schindler's List", in the eyes of many people, has no commercial potential at all. It is just a work that witnesses Jewish history. Although Hollywood Jews are in a group, they will not rush to invest in such a work that is destined to be unlikely to make money.

Amy is also Jewish.

In Amy’s view, Simon’s proposal to support the "Schindler’s List" project at this point when Daenerys Entertainment is about to annex MCA is likely to express an attitude to the Jewish community in Hollywood and ease his presence in Hollywood. The growing power put pressure on the Jewish community.

In fact, Simon does have such thoughts.

Because of the living environment in his previous life, Simon is not too sensitive to race issues.

However, after a few years of rebirth, he also had to face this problem squarely.

The Jewish power in Hollywood is indeed very strong, or the Jewish power in the entire United States is very strong.

Moreover, it is impossible to change this.

From the beginning of World War II, the Jews started a large number of ethnic youths to participate in that war. Until now, the Jews in the U.S. military system are also in control of powerful power. If an anti-Semitism like the one in Germany happens in the United States, the result is likely to be a civil war.

Simon is not afraid of Jews, and certainly does not want this to happen in reverse.

Therefore, after the acquisition of MCA, the bidding for "Schindler's List" is also a kind of homeopathy. Moreover, the "Schindler's List" in my memory is actually very profitable.
