Hollywood Hunter

Michelle Pfeiffer didn't expect Simon to refuse so directly, and he was a little startled.

Moreover, Oscar awards, this is something that the academy’s thousands of judges have the right to decide. Some guy just said ‘can’t give it to you’ just now, as if the little golden man was in his pocket.

Simon saw Michelle Pfeiffer in a daze, but smiled and raised a glass to her, then turned and left.

Michelle Pfeiffer may be an unattainable Hollywood goddess for other opposite sexes, but for the current Simon, it is not very attractive. It is not his favorite type of temperament.

Seeing Simon walk away, Michelle Pfeiffer reacted and was about to chase him, only to see that Simon had been caught up by another middle-aged black-haired man and had to pause.

"Hello, Mr. Westeros, this is Tim Bevan."

"Oh, Hello."

Simon and the other party shook hands. Seeing the middle-aged man handed over the business card, he took it and pretended to look at the content on the card with interest. In fact, when he heard the other party's name, he already knew the identity of the middle-aged person in front of him.

The business card in the hand says the president of ‘WorkingTitleFilms’.

WorkingTitle is a film term, which translates to ‘tentative title’. Many films do not have an official title due to confidentiality considerations during the preparation stage. Therefore, a tentative name is used as the code name, which is ‘WorkingTitle’.

The tentative name of the film industry may not be understood by people who don’t pay much attention to the film industry, but in the original timeline, this company is famous and has produced "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Murder of Green Toe", " Excellent works such as "Ice and Blood", "Notting Hill", "BJ Single Diary".

In Simon’s memory, the tentative name film industry was initially just a small workshop, probably because it was acquired by the record giant Polygram Pictures that intends to step into the film industry in recent years, and with the global expansion of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" Be famous in one fell swoop. Afterwards, Polygram Records was acquired by Universal's parent company MCA, and the tentative name film industry became a subsidiary of Universal Pictures. Until Simon's rebirth, it continued to release various outstanding movies.

It is naturally impossible for Tim Bevan to know Simon’s thoughts, but since he had a conversation with Simon Westero, he certainly would not miss the opportunity, and immediately continued: "Mr. Westero, I have a very Nice script, maybe you can listen to it."

Simon raised his head and asked, "First tell me what successful movies your company has produced?"

Tim Bevan smiled on his face and said: "At the 1988 Cannes Film Festival, the "Separated World" was our company's work."

Of course Simon remembers the Cannes Film Festival in 1988.

That time, "Pulp Fiction" won the Palme d'Or, and Simon became the youngest Palme d'Or winner in the history of the Cannes Film Festival.

The Jury Prize is the second place.

Simon immediately thought of the subject of "Segregated World", a political film about the issue of apartheid in South Africa. Just by listening to this unpopular story theme, you can't imagine that "Separated World" will not perform very well.

If someone else talked about it, Simon would certainly not be interested in continuing the conversation.

However, of course this cannot be done right now.

"Then, talk about your script."

As a filmmaker, Tim Bevan certainly cannot hold only one script in his hands, but he knows very well that it is very rare for him to win a chance in front of this young man, and it is impossible to expect more. .

After sorting out his thoughts, Tim Bewan said: "This is a non-mainstream crime drama called "Blood Romeo". The story tells the story of the privately voyeuristic agent Jack, who was ordered by the supervisor to be wild and hot. The gang killer Lena thought it was a very easy thing. As a result, a series of coincidences made things worse. His lover died and his wife cheated on the road. Jack finally had to find ways to make himself Get rid of the quagmire. In addition to all kinds of coincidences and accidents, the story’s highlights are also the jokes caused by the strong character contrast between Jack and Lena. I have given the script to Mr. Gary Oldman to read. He is very familiar with this story. Interested."

Simon has never seen "Romeo in Blood", but after listening to Tim Bevan's narration, it is basically clear.

The middle-aged man in front of him began to follow him from the "Isolated World" just now. The script at this time obviously gave Simon a feeling of "Pulp Fiction" after another.

The "Four Weddings and a Funeral" in my memory will be released next year. It stands to reason that preparations should have begun now.

What Simon wants to hear most is actually the script.

Of course, he also knew that even if the script of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" was in the hands of Tim Bevan, the other party finally caught an opportunity to recommend to him, and would not introduce the original timeline of the painting. Movies that have not been watched before.

However, since it has been delivered, Simon is not too eager.

What's more, although I have not heard of "Romeo on Blood", this project seems to be very suitable for one person, Quentin.

Simon just took the time to watch Quentin’s new script "The Real Romance" this morning. He used to watch this project. The original "Real Romance" was written by Quentin and directed by Tony Scott . But the film ended in failure.

In this time and space, Simon cut off "Pulp Fiction" ahead of time. Quentin, who relied on "Falling Water Dog" to become famous last year, made "True Romance" and planned to direct it himself.

However, compared with "Pulp Fiction", "The Real Romance" is really mediocre.

Maybe you can ask the other person to try "Romeo on Blood" that Tim Bevan just said.

"True Romance" and "Romeo on Blood", listening to the names, the two films really have some connections. As for the story, from Simon's point of view, the latter is obviously more tense, while "True Romance" seems somewhat Mediocre chaos.

Making up his mind, Simon said to Tim Bewan who was waiting for him to respond: "Are you a solo producer now?"

Tim Bewan realized something and nodded quickly.

Since the 1980s, they have been in the film industry. Tim Bevan and his partner Sarah Radcliffe have been trying to find a big host to be affiliated with. Last year they had contact with PolyGram, but the last It was impossible to reach a conclusion. This is because of Daenerys Entertainment.

In the original time and space, Polygram tried to get involved in the film industry, originally heading to Hollywood.

However, in recent years, Daenerys Entertainment has been too strong, even the second and third-tier Hollywood studios can only survive the impact of Daenerys Entertainment, not to mention foreigners like Polygram.

Lack of motivation, PolyGram finally cancelled its plan to expand its investment in the film industry, intending to continue to focus on the recording field.

Failing to get Polygram’s financial support, Tim Bevan could only continue to try his best to maintain the tentatively named film studio. This time I heard that Simon Westero would appear at the Berlin Film Festival. Shao Xin Si was given the opportunity to meet with Simon. He carefully considered various details beforehand, including "Segregated World" which reminded Westeros of "Pulp Fiction", and then came up with the idea of ​​"Blood Romeo" Serve what you like.

Originally worried that Westeros would not give him a chance to speak at all, but he didn't expect things to develop so smoothly.

Seeing Tim Bevan nodded, Simon finally took out a business card from his suit pocket and handed it to the other party, saying: "Take this to contact Ella Deutschman. He is in Berlin recently. You can talk about the rest. "

Many people in the hall noticed the conversation between Simon and Tim Bevan. In this circle, of course, some people knew Tim Bevan. Seeing that Westeros finally handed out a business card to each other, many people were Realized something.

So Tim Bevan just walked away from Simon when someone leaned in again.

Simon was very patient with this kind of conversation, but he never issued a business card for more than ten minutes.

Michelle Pfeiffer has been looking at a young man who is comfortable in the crowd. Every time he wants to step forward again, he finds that he is taken advantage of by others. Finally, when three tall goblins get together At Simon's side, Michelle Pfeiffer realized that he was probably out of play.

Seeing three supermodels, Claudia Schiffer, Naja Allman and Paulina Preskova, gathered around Westeros, everyone in the hall was only envious.

Claudia Schiffer and Naja Allman are both Germans. It is understandable that they appeared here to support their own film festival. Simon appeared to Paulina Preskova, whose face resembled Audrey Hepburn. But a little surprised, after hugging the three women one by one, they asked their curiosity.

"I played a small role in "Arizona Dream"," Paulina Preskova said, looking at Simon with a bit of resentment, and said, "Unfortunately, it's just a small role."

Simon would not be impressed by the eyes of a big goblin, and smiled: "Even the Oscar queens, many of them started from small roles, and, I think, your main focus should be on modeling."

"But, I'm already..." Paulina Preskova said, subconsciously stopped, and then thought of something, and continued without evasiveness: "I'm 28 years old."

28 years old, for the model, it has indeed reached the age of retirement.

Simon felt the look of a pair of beautiful eyes, and looked over, saying, "If someone told me that you were 18, I would believe it."

Paulina Preskova raised her eyebrows slightly, with a little disappointment in her expression: "Simon, are you starting to like 18-year-old girls now?"

Simon was a little helpless at the big goblin's teasing, and nodded unceremoniously: "Yes."

Speaking of stretching out her hand towards Naja Allman, Naja Allman was very cooperative, and let Simon put her arms around her waist, and made a demonstration towards Paulina Preskova Emoji.

Compared with Paulina, Naja Allman is only 22 years old this year, and has a guy's support, and the career path is still very long. Even Claudia Schiffer is more famous than Paulina, but she is only 23 years old this year. Even though the appearance is still beautiful, Paulina has already become the front wave about to be photographed on the beach.

Especially last year's Victoria's Secret show.

Paulina felt that her style was not suitable for the underwear runway, so she did not participate. With the rise of the Victoria's Secret Army, she now only regrets it.

Seeing Naja Allman sticking to the man to demonstrate against herself, Paulina Preskova simply ignored him, just staring at the man in front of her and said: "Simon, do you remember owing us a promise?"

At Simon’s twentieth birthday party, Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen, Pauline Preskova, and Stephanie Seymour once attended together because of a little Interaction, made a small promise to them.

I didn't care much at first.

However, among the four women, the other three women are now the spokespersons of Victoria's Secret Angels. In recent years, they have been all the rage, but Paulina was clearly lagging behind.

Originally, she still had top endorsements like Estee Lauder in her hands. However, because her popularity was gradually overtaken by a large number of latecomers, Paulina knew very well that if she didn’t do something to restore her popularity, she would definitely be after the end of the contract expires. Was replaced. Once she lost the endorsement contract of Estee Lauder, her modeling career basically came to an end. With so many more famous rising stars, it is impossible for various brands to choose her, an older model who has gone to the past.

In the reception hall, Simon heard Paulina's words, but he shook his head and smiled: "I don't remember."

Paulina's eyes widened: "Simon, you are so rascal."

"A rascal guy will attract girls to like it," Simon still had a smile on his face, and turned to ask Naja Allman: "Right?"

Naja Allman didn't answer, she leaned over, kissed Simon on the cheek, and then continued to demonstrate to Pauline. Naja Allman's appearance is far less beautiful than Paulina. Even with her age advantage, she is still a little afraid of Paulina. Can suppress the opponent, of course spare no effort.

Although the man felt like he was just teasing herself, Paulina didn't do anything wrong, she could only look at the other person angrily, trying to whip someone's conscience with her eyes.

Simon did not look at her, turned to Claudia Schiffer, and chatted casually.

Although only one year older than Naja Allman, Claudia Schiffer is the most famous of the three women. However, it was still last year's Victoria's Secret show, which greatly disrupted the pattern of fashion circles. .

Through the sale of a series of video tapes, photo albums and even peripheral products, forty Victoria's Secret Angels have become the most famous people in the industry. Although many top fashion brands look down on the style of the Victoria's Secret show, they have to try their best to invite the Victoria's Secret Angels to participate in their catwalks.

No matter how high-end catwalks are, the fundamental purpose is to promote.

If you can't even get some of the most famous supermodels, it will give the outside world a feeling of falling down.

As a result, the five Victoria's Secret angel spokespersons have become the darlings of the fashion circle.
