Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 794: Dragon and Phoenix (repair)

When the Oscars ceremony in the Sacred Citizens Auditorium opened at six o'clock in the evening, Simon was with the women and children at the Dome Point Manor.

Sofia Fayci flew over from Europe today.

The Melisandre party will be held as usual tonight, but the woman is not here specifically for this, but is invited by Janet.

The reason is the most recent pregnancy test.

It was known for a long time that a woman was pregnant with twins, but she didn't pay attention to gender specifically, otherwise it could be confirmed by DNA testing in London. After four months of pregnancy, the fetus's gender was confirmed from the ultrasound examination during routine pregnancy check. The result was not two males or two females, but one male and one female.

Long and phoenix tires.

Janet was the first to get the news and told Simon that Simon's impression of this was that all the names he took last night were just used. The boy's name is Greenwich Westeros and the girl's name Sno Westeros.

Then, Janet offered to invite Sophia to live in Los Angeles for a few days.

Sophia has rarely visited North America since she became pregnant, avoiding two Jannies and two children.

Even if Janet didn't make a big fuss about this incident, she was still a little embarrassed after all.

However, since Janet personally invited, the woman did not refuse, and rushed over by this opportunity.

I was a little worried that the three women would pinch up. Simon left work early that day. Fortunately, the imaginary scene did not happen. He returned to Cape Dumei Manor at around four o’clock in the afternoon. The three women and a few little guys were enjoying themselves. Sophia brought a lot of gifts, two Janet's and three children's, and set up a full room.

after all.

It's still a lot of people to blame.

Sophia's emotional intelligence is not much worse than Simon, the strangeness of the two generations.

Not only that, after Simon got off work early, although Sophia looked at him with deep affection in his eyes, she still very skillfully pushed Simon to the opposite of her and the two Jenny, and the words were very similar to the enemy's crusade against Simon. All three of them are victims of the act of sorrow.

Both Jenny are very smart, probably understand Sophia's intentions, but they are very cooperative.

Simon is also very cooperative, looking like he is punished.

After the Oscars ceremony in the Hall of Sacred Citizens, the TV was turned on.

It's another good topic.

In fact, the biggest problem in getting along with people is that there is nothing to say. As long as there is talk, the relationship will get closer unconsciously.

The broadcaster of the awards ceremony is still the long-term unchanging ABC, but the host of this year is David Letterman, the host of CBS "The David Late Show".

Daenerys Entertainment has recently launched investigations and contacts with three TV networks, the real purpose of course is ABC.

Simon also discovered that NBC has Jay Leno’s "Jay Leno Tonight Show" and CBS has David Letterman’s "David Late Show". Only ABC, one of the three established television networks, lacks late night talk shows. At the same time, there was only one night news program "Nightline" with very low ratings.

Because there are usually many big names in attendance, popular talk shows are quite popular TV shows. This is due to the fact that Oprah Winfrey, Jay Leno, David Letterman and others are often at the forefront of the TV industry income rankings. It can be seen that in the commercial operation of American TV stations, the salary of TV people is directly related to the popularity of the program, so even many news show hosts can get ten million dollars in annual salary.

Currently the two most popular late-night talk shows, "Jay Leno Tonight Show" is very popular and can bring NBC US$150 million in advertising revenue each year. "David Late Show" is temporarily inferior to each other because of its recent launch. , CBS can also make 50 million U.S. dollars in revenue each year. In contrast, ABC’s "Nightline" can only bring a mere $10 million in advertising revenue to the TV network each year.

Seeing David Letterman on the Oscar stage, Simon quietly wrote down the incident.

If you win ABC in the future, even if you can't dig out other late-night talk shows to replace "Night Line", you must cultivate a similar program yourself.

Obviously not adapted to the rhythm of the Oscars, David Letterman, who tried to host this awards ceremony for the first time, performed very awkwardly. The various jokes and the ridicule of last year's popular films made Simon feel nothing, and the audience's reaction was also Far less lively than Billy Christo hosted.

Fortunately, the sluggish opening of the late-night show host did not affect the award ceremony that was destined to be remembered.

Since "Forrest Gump" received the first award for best film editing, the atmosphere in the Hall of Sacred Citizens has been very warm.

There are too many excellent movies this year. Whether it is "Forrest Gump", which has received 13 nominations, or "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", which has only been nominated for 3 technical awards, it has attracted much attention. And a Funeral, "The Steal of Fire", "The Years of Love", "Little Women" and other movies are also quite popular, far from the decline of the nominations of the film during the decline of the Oscars, but the audience did not see a few decline scenes.

In addition, whether Tom Hanks, who was enthusiastic in the media, won the Oscar for Best Actor to create history after last year's "Philadelphia Story" has also become the biggest suspense of this awards ceremony.

An hour after the award ceremony, Westeros's family began to eat dinner, and the topic moved from the living room to the dining room.

So until after eight o’clock, the awards ceremony was halfway through and the dinner was over. Daenerys Entertainment has also won 9 awards out of 26 nominations this year. Considering that the subsequent important awards will basically fall in "Gan Zheng Chuan" can get at least half of the 26 nominations tonight.

After dinner, Simon will also set off for the city.

Not only is his boss going to personally express the combination to tonight’s winners at Melisandre’s party, there are also some other meetings scheduled to talk with Stallone about the "Game of the Brave" just agreed today, and, the most Importantly, Warren Buffett will be here tonight.

Berkshire Hathaway, run by Warren Buffett, is a major shareholder of Metropolis ABC Group, the parent company of the ABC television network, and is a very good friend with Tom Murphy, the current chairman and CEO of Metropolis ABC. Basically maintain a common advance and retreat in the ABC attitude.

Daenerys Entertainment wants to acquire Metropolis ABC. Buffett is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. However, as long as the veteran Omaha investor agrees, things can basically be finalized.

Melisandre's party has long since needed Sophia to hold it personally, and the woman did not rush to the Sunset Tower Hotel in the city with Simon.

When Simon left, Janet, who had sent the man out, still looked aggressive. She also said that a certain guy didn't need to come back tonight, and the women wanted to sleep together and talk privately.

Arrived at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, it was already half past nine.

Oscar ends.

The popular "Forrest Gump" won eight statuettes with 13 out of 8 scores, including core awards for best film, best director, and best actor. This result surpassed the original time and space. Of the 13 mentions and 6, it is obvious that Daenerys's powerful public relations offensive played a role.

Tom Hanks also became the first actor in Hollywood history to win the Oscar for Best Actor for two consecutive years, creating a new history in Hollywood.

In addition, Daenerys also won six statuettes in non-core awards such as the best soundtrack missed by Forrest Gump and the best feature documentary film.

26 nominations, 14 awards.

A big win.

After taking the initiative to keep a low profile for a year last year, Daenerys once again became the biggest winner of the Oscar.

And it deserves it.

Because there were so many good movies last year, most of them were from Daenerys Entertainment. After the awards ceremony, there were even voices on the Internet mentioning some unfair films.

Simon arrived at the party and just congratulated the crew of "Forrest Gump" and Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife came over. As the leading actor of "True Lies," which was sold last year, Arnold will naturally not miss this year's Oscars. Even if there is no agreement on the "Game of the Brave" project, it does not prevent the Melisandre party from sending invitations to each other.

Unless it was some act that touched Simon's red line, he would never turn his face because he couldn't agree on business.

Arnold did not go around the corner, and simply said hello: "Simon, I heard that you want Sylvie to take over the project. Frankly speaking, Sylvie is a good guy, but he has no talent for comedy, maybe we can. Talk about it again, don't you?"

Before Simon had time to answer, Stallone had brought his girlfriend Jennifer Flavin to the front, greeted them enthusiastically, and said nonchalantly: "What are you talking about?"

These two action superstars have not dealt with each other in private, Simon will not let them clash at their own party, and smiled and said: "Nothing," said directly to Schwarzenegger: "Sorry, Arnold, this time. Unfortunately, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate next time."

After speaking, he made a gesture to Stallone, nodded to Arnold, turned and left.

Having been suppressed by Schwarzenegger for several years, he was pitted at the beginning, and it was rare to have the upper hand. Before Stallone turned around with Simon, he couldn't help but was able to pick this old opponent.

Hollywood News always dresses fast.

During the day, Schwarzenegger received the news that Daenerys had turned to Stallone for the first time. At that time, he understood that Simon’s queen casting officer’s so-called alternative plan was not joking at all, and he was also aware of himself. The mistake.

In recent years, Schwarzenegger has also seen that special effects movies are a major trend in Hollywood, and traditional muscular action movies have become less popular. For "Game of the Brave", he was originally determined to get it. After reading the original script outline, Arnold thought that this role was none other than him, so he wanted to bargain with Daenerys.

Simon gave the last offer last week, and Schwarzenegger hesitated at the time and almost agreed to it.

He knew how strong Daenerys was in contract negotiations.

However, after being persuaded by the agent, he actually wanted to insist on a little more in his heart, so he refused again, but he suddenly became so yellow.

Watching Westeros and Stallone leave, at a certain moment, Schwarzenegger inevitably angered his agent.

Faintly still a little uneasy.

Schwarzenegger’s wife Maria Schlevo, who had been standing quietly just now, saw her husband’s unsteady expression and whispered comfortingly: “Arnold, I don’t think it’s anything. Warner is not inviting you to participate in their movie "Evaporation Secret Order", we are not short of opportunities."

Schwarzenegger is big, but his mind matches his size. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This is different, my dear."

It is precisely because there is no shortage of appointments in his hands that Schwarzenegger will bargain with Daenerys without fear. Warner's "Evaporation Secret Order" is one of the most important projects, and the other party also gave a full salary offer of 15 million US dollars.

However, "Evaporation Secret Order" is still an old-school action film that Arnold is good at. He knows very well that starring in such a film will not bring him any breakthrough, just repeating previous performances. Even if the project fails, it will damage his position. The key reason for Stallone's decline in popularity in recent years is that he has been repeating his screen image, causing the audience to gradually become bored.

Daenerys' "Game of the Brave" is different.

This is not only the most popular special effects blockbuster in recent years, it happens to have characters that suit them with obvious actions, and the setting is different from the usual lone heroes in the past, and it is definitely a project that can definitely refresh the audience.

Now, depending on the situation, it is completely useless.

On the other side, even with Stallone, Simon still thinks Arnold is more suitable.

However, now that the decision has been made, Simon will not change easily.

This film is a challenge for Stallone, and success can break through the shackles of previous roles. For Simon, it was also a breakthrough attempt.

Even failure is nothing.

Daenerys Entertainment is now fully able to withstand the failure of one or two projects.

What's more, this is still a foreign cooperation project.

Simon launched these projects only out of the mentality of maintaining the balance of Hollywood, but he has no intention of helping other film companies develop.

Stallone deliberately sent away his girlfriend. The two came to the top bar terrace of the Sunset Tower Hotel where the party was held and found a seat. The action star spoke seriously about his thoughts on the project, and Simon also began to mention his own. opinion.

Stallone participated in this project, and the key to success is a sense of contrast.

A big reason for the success of the original film is the easy and humorous tone of the film, but this is not to say that Stallone is going to be funny in it. This is mainly the work of two supporting actors.

In the Dashi Johnson version, Johnson is still in charge of action, and is not responsible for too many funny scenes, but successfully added the contrast setting of being possessed by an otaku, and it was very successful. This time, Stallone has to do the same, and he must integrate his own style.

This is actually the same as the movie "Brother Dragon" that let Schwarzenegger open up the comedy scene. In "Brother Dragon", Danny DeVito is responsible for the funny, and the two images are completely out of harmony. The strong contrast between the brothers.

Stallone’s importance to this project is extraordinary. The two chatted for more than half an hour. If it weren’t for Bryce Levison to come and say hello, it reminded Stallone that Simon had other entertainment, the action star must have I want to continue talking with Simon.

When Stallone left, Simon looked at the woman who was wearing a silver sequined dress like a mermaid tonight, patted his side, smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"

Bryce Levison did not shy away, and squeezed directly beside Simon, but pointed to the bar hall, and smiled: "Don't blame me for disturbing you, I was encouraged to come."

Simon followed Bryce's guidance and looked over, but found nothing special.

However, it soon became clear that she should have been sent by Grace Spurt. During the call on the weekend, Grace stated that she would also come to the West Coast today. She didn’t expect to bring Bryce Levison with her. Perhaps, it could be that Bryce took the initiative to come up. This woman was brutally attacked by Janet last time in Florida. I cleaned it up hard, it seems that I don't have a long memory.
