Hollywood New Century

In a corner of the celebration hall, Simon Parker sat on the sofa with a slightly red face, drinking a little too much wine.

"Simon, you seem to be very busy with your business today. Almost all the executives of various film companies have come to chat with you," Nina Jacobson sat next to Simon and smiled.

"Heh, Nina, do you know what we look like now?"

"Um, like what?"

"It's like a piece of tender and delicious fat, everyone wants to eat it," Simon's tone was very light, and all the film companies expressed their thoughts on Xinghai Films.

"Simon, have you considered bringing in external investors? There are a lot of places we will spend money in the future!" Nina Jacobson suggested.

"I understand, you are worried that something will happen to me on Wall Street, don't worry!" It has long been rumored in Hollywood that Simon Pike mortgaged stocks to invest in real estate credit on Wall Street.

Nina Jacobson nodded and said that she was just a practicing manager. Now that Xinghai Entertainment has grown very well, there is really no need to interfere with Simon's thoughts.

Simon, who was leaning on the sofa, watched Nina leave, thinking that the shares of Xinghai Pictures will be used to acquire important companies in the future, and will not be easily exchanged for equity.

"Hey, Simon, I think I really missed a lot at the time," Nicole Kidman came over with a look of regret, after all, she was not optimistic about the "Spartan 300 Warriors" project at the beginning.

"Really?" Simon smiled and asked again, "Your Huaying producer hasn't developed any projects yet?"

"Now, the small-budget literary film "Sunshine Cleaning" that you recommended, starring Amy Adams and Emily Blunt, but it seems that there is no publisher support now!" Nicole Kidman contacted, It's still hard to impress a publisher with a script alone.

"The budget doesn't seem to be high, and you don't need to invest alone. Let's shoot it first. The distributor can find it slowly. Go to some film festivals and you should get something." Simon leaned on the sofa, a little tired. said,

"And if you really can't find a distributor, don't worry, Xinghai Pictures will definitely have its own distribution network next year."

"Okay, Simon, I think you've been drinking too much, do you want to go back to rest first?" Nicole Kidman approached.

"I'm not too worried about distribution. After all, the movie's budget is very low. I only need to invest two or three million!"

"Don't worry, I'm just a little tired," Simon had just chatted with the executives of all the blockbusters except Disney, and accepted the blessing. Of course, he didn't drink less wine.

Simon stood up, rubbed his temples with his fingers, and asked, "I told you to sell some real estate as soon as possible, how are you doing?"

"It's almost done. Now I have enough money, do you need it?" Nicole Kidman still made some assets by investing in properties before.

Simon shook his head and said, "I don't need anything, I just think that you have enough funds on hand now, why didn't you look for project development?"

"Yes, I have met many filmmakers in Australia before, and I also invested in a TV series!" Nicole Kidman has been filming in Australia for half a year, but she still did something.

Simon smiled, and suddenly saw Russell Crowe on the other side, and asked with a smile: "Did Russell Crowe, the original lead actor of "Australia", give up because the salary could not be negotiated?"

"Yes, 20th Century Fox couldn't meet his demands, and you know what happened later," Nicole Kidman said as the director recommended Hugh Jackman.

"Russell Crowe," Simon was because he saw him now, and suddenly thought of Sharon Waxman saying that she had received calls from Mark Damon and Russell Crowe, and Ben Affleck, threatening By not publishing the Harvey Weinstein scandal, they can vouch that Harvey Weinstein is a man of integrity.

After the Oscar-winning actor's perfect performance in "Gladiator", the following "Iron Fist Man" and "Fighting in the Furious Sea" are big box office failures.

Like Nicole Kidman, the male and female stars with high pay and low returns are the first.

If Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman really starred in "Australian Chaos", Simon couldn't imagine what the ending would be like?

"By the way, Simon, but Russell Crowe and George Clooney are very different?" Nicole Kidman said, looking over there, and then smiled.

"Oh, what do you mean? They shouldn't have anything to do with each other, right? Haven't they both made a lot of Miramax movies?" Simon was a little interested.

"Russell looked down on George Clooney's acting skills, saying that as an actor he only knew how to shoot commercials everywhere!" Nicole laughed.

"Oh, looking at it this way, it's also right. Hollywood first-line stars, especially male stars, basically don't accept advertisements," Simon said. After all, as an actor, shooting an advertisement is to show his face, which reduces his own sense of mystery too much.

"George Clooney blamed Russell for being nosy!"

Simon shook his head and said, "It doesn't make any sense. George Clooney is a star, and his acting skills are not qualified to be comparable to Russell Crobe's. The movie remuneration between the two is too much!"

After all, in Hollywood, Russell Crowe is the top male star, and Oscar winner is proof; George Clooney, with the attractive appearance, walks the path of the idol.

After Nicole Kidman left the sofa, Simon suddenly remembered what Sharon Waxman said about Matt Damon. The sequel "Bourne 3" produced by Universal Pictures is about to be released. .

"Hi, Mr. Pike, good evening!"

"Well," Simon turned his head, it turned out to be Amanda Seyfried,

"Hello, Amanda!"

Simon finished and hugged Amanda Seyfried.

"Can I do a dance with you?" Amanda Seyfried asked.

Simon looked at the equally youthful Amanda Seyfried, who was a different type of beauty than Blake Lively.

"Let's go!"

On the dance floor, Simon Pike put his arms around Amanda Seyfried and asked, "Is "Mamma Mia!" closing soon?"

"Well, my part is finished, and I will have to wait until the middle of next month to complete the filming. Thank you for giving me this opportunity!" Amanda Seyfried is sincerely grateful for being chosen by Simon Parker.

"Fortunately, your performance is good," Simon said, and then smiled again: "And the director also said that you are very serious!"

"I'm also worried that there will be some flaws in the singing part." Amanda Seyfried actually released an album herself, and her singing skills are better than ordinary actors.

"The film adaptation of a musical has different requirements from the original music," Simon originally held the girl's hand with one hand and put his arm around the girl's waist, looked at Amanda Seyfried, and praised,

"You are so beautiful today!"
