Hollywood New Century

In Burbank, on Studio 8 of Warner Bros. Studios, intense filming of "Spartan 300" is underway.

The cast in front of the green screen did look hilarious, with Simon chatting with executive producer Steven Blunt.

"After a few months of training, the actors are in great shape!" Simon watched as Gerard Butler, who played the King of Sparta, was saying goodbye to Sienna Miller, who played the Queen of Sparta.

"Yeah, in the later stage, special effects will be used to deepen the bulky muscles on some of the actors, which will make them look rougher and tougher. There are still a lot of special effects in this movie," Steven Blunt said.

Simon nodded. The scenes, characters, etc. are all computer-generated. This movie relies on the pictures, slow motion, and violent killings to attract people.

I looked at Sienna Miller again. She is 25 years old. She is really sexy. She was selected by Simon during the audition. She is a newcomer, and she does not say how good her acting skills are.

One of the reasons Simon chose her is that her boyfriend is Jude Law, and she got engaged last year, and "Spartan 300" doesn't have any big-name stars. Maybe she can make a small publicity point. After all, Jude Law is still famous, isn't it?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Sienna Miller entered the crew, it was revealed that Jude Law cheated on the maid at home. The engagement was cancelled and the two broke up.

Simon can only be helpless, but fortunately, her propaganda point is not the focus, the focus is on the film itself, color, picture, action, character modeling and other aspects.

Moreover, although Queen Sparta is the heroine, the movie is a man's play, and she has not many roles.

Not only that, but Simon also discovered that one of the actors who played the King's Guard was actually Michael Fassbender, who had previously appeared in the series "Band of Brothers".

Michael Fassbender is still just a little rookie actor! This movie even recruited the young Magneto in the future as a small supporting role, which is interesting.

If we make Marvel movies in the future, there will definitely be more and more performances in front of the green screen. Before the special effects are added, it is really embarrassing to think about.

In the evening, Simon arrives at Emily Blunt's home in Santa Monica, where the film's promotion has ended, and Emily Blunt is from her home in England.

On the sofa, Simon looked at a newspaper and smiled, alas, the investment of 60 million US dollars is definitely a big deal.

"What's the matter, seems to be very happy?" Emily Blunt sat next to Simon and asked with some doubts.

"Hey, the movie "Air Combat Heroes" invested by the big son of Oracle was released, and the box office was only 6 million US dollars, and the evaluation was not generally bad. It is estimated that it was more than 10 million US dollars at the North American box office!" Simon! In fact, it is also boring. What does David Ellison, the eldest son of Oracle, do?

It wasn't because he didn't like his dad, Larry Ellison, but by the way, he hated Oracle. After all, Simon is not a real Simon. Of course, liking has a strong personal emotional color.

For example, there are George Clooney and Richard Gere's gang, who are disgusted in their hearts, personal feelings!

"Is that so, but he's not short of money, their family has a lot of money to play movies for him," Emily Blunt just felt distressed about the $60 million production fee.

"Yeah, it's boring, it's fine if this guy loses $600 million at a time, it will probably make his dad feel bad," Simon said, throwing the newspaper on the coffee table.

"Simon, Anne asked us to go to the Mint Club in West Hollywood in the evening, will you go in the evening?" Anne Hathaway also knows about the relationship between Emily Blunt and Simon.

Simon was stunned for a moment, and felt a little embarrassed at first, but when he thought about it, what was he afraid of being a man?

Immediately nodded, anyway, going to nightclubs to drink or something is normal. West Hollywood has the most bars and nightclubs, and there are countless all-night entertainment programs.

"By the way, you told her that I guessed that his ex-boyfriend was a liar. You weren't worried that she would blame you?" Simon asked in confusion.

"That was the day I saw Annie take out a precious diamond watch, she said it was given by her boyfriend, and then she said that his boyfriend asked her to invest in his financial real estate fund," Emily Blunt looked on Embarrassed, he continued to speak:

"I didn't actually say anything, I just told her to invest carefully. After all, there are too many traps on Wall Street, and I don't really understand it, and the people around me can't fully believe it!"

Simon nodded and said, "That's all I said?" Then Anne Hathaway doesn't seem to be stupid, she's quite smart! However, as a successful star, there is no one who is not smart. Climbing up to this stage shows that their ability is very strong.

"Forget it," Simon didn't bother to worry about it anyway, and the year after that, she knew that she really helped her this time.

"By the way, what is your main role now?" Simon began to pay attention to Emily Blunt's life.

"Ah, it's mainly independent movies, supporting roles, but I received the heroine of a low-budget horror movie about the fog on an abandoned road and the emergence of many ghosts, just such a story!" Emily Blunt It is indeed too famous now. "The Queen Wears Prada" everyone mainly remembers that beautiful Anne Hathaway!

"I guess it's one of those shoddy B-movies?" Simon frowned.

Emily Blunt didn't speak, feeling a little aggrieved. You refused to give me the queen role of "Spartan 300", saying that role was not suitable for me.

"Okay, let's think about it, think about it," Simon thought slowly while holding Emily Blunt in his arms. Now he is looking for a good heroine in a low-budget movie for her, or a female supporting role with more roles. OK.

"Benjamin Button: The Curious Case" doesn't seem to have any role for her, and the heroine of "Superman Hancock" needs to be more famous, and she is not suitable.

"What's wrong?" Emily Blunt asked when she found Simon Pike looking down at her.

"It's nothing, there are still too few movies developed by the company. I have to hurry up and find some good scripts when I go back. Next year, I will find a role that suits you. It's just a shoddy horror movie, and I don't know if it will be possible by then Enter the theater!" The script Simon is looking for now feels that the investment is too large, and the heroine has to comply with all requirements.

"Well, I told the agent to turn it off?" Emily Blunt wanted to confirm.

"Push it off, this kind of independent film with no plot is meaningless. You don't have to worry about your work now. The agent has an opinion. Let the agent come and talk to me!" Simon waved his hand domineeringly, joking, he couldn't find a good one. script?

"Emily, do you think you can do comedy movies?" Simon asked. After all, the less expensive movies are romantic comedies and horror thrillers.

"Isn't 'The Devil Wears Prada' a comedy movie? I'm sure I can, I can try other genres," Emily Blunt seemed confident in herself.

"I know, I still have confidence in you and you actors who came from the British Drama Academy and have been polished on stage for many years. I have already thought of an idea, although it is somewhat similar to the previous "The Queen Wearing Prada", but There is also a bit of "Wedding Australian" bridesmaid feeling," Simon thought of "27 Dresses"!

"Last year's "Wedding Australian" was really too successful, did you follow suit?" Emily looked up and asked.

"It doesn't matter, it's just about the bridesmaids. The heroine is a professional bridesmaid. After being a bridesmaid for 26 weddings, she suddenly felt that she was still alone, and then she wanted to get married. Some love stories happened. "The Queen of Prada", of course, various brand clothing appeared in the movie," Simon said with a smile, and Hai was going to find a screenwriter who participated in "The Queen Wears Prada" to write the script, after all, he was only involved in the outline at the time. Refinement is also an invited screenwriter!

As for why it is 26, because I like this number!

Emily Browne nodded. Simon Parker is the winner of the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. The idea should be good.

Then, Emily Blunt put her arms around Simon's neck and kissed.
