Hollywood New Century

The matter of Star Records wasted a month, and the company finally moved to Tribeca, Manhattan, New York.

For Sonia Roman this period of time, it can be said that she is tired and happy. Xingchen Records belongs to Xinghai Pictures, and she can be regarded as a real management company.

"Simon, these are some manuscripts of novels that I have a good relationship with in New York. I am going to give them to Nina, who is going to the meeting with Twentieth Century Fox in Century City!" Sonia Roman said and handed Simon several manuscripts of the novel.

"Well, let me see!"

Many producers and film companies will get the manuscripts of some novels before they are published. After all, the publication of novels also needs to be promoted. If the film company takes a fancy to it, it is excellent.

After all, tens of thousands of novels are published every year, and only a few are made into movies.

Simon didn't watch it very carefully, after all, just look at the plot.

"Weakness: Movement Progress", Simon's eyes lit up and continued to read, author Michael Lewis, told the extraordinary experience of the NFL star player Michael Oher.

Rugby player Michael Oher weighs 344 pounds, or about 156 kilograms.

This isn't that Sandra Bullock's Weakness!

"Sonia, we Xinghai Pictures want the film adaptation rights of this "Weakness: Game Progress"," I can't let it go. Although the film is only a part of the novel, this film can bring both fame and fortune.

"Okay," Sonia Roman was not too excited anymore, the company had already bought the script from more than 10 years ago!

After Sonia Roman left, Simon was still thinking, and Sandra Bullock, the silly big sister rom-com was the only 90s-era Julia Roberts match.

In recent years, because romantic comedy movies have not been as strong as before, there have been too many failures.

Sandra Bullock has been a little quiet in recent years, except for the first "Agent Belle" and a cameo in "Crash", other movies are indeed failures.

However, the "Weakness" released in 2009 won her an Oscar, and the "Fake Marriage" released in the same year was also very good at the box office.

The original heroine of the two films was Julia Roberts. Because of the low cost, Julia Roberts could not agree on the salary, but Sandra Bullock made a lot of money and reduced the salary share!

"Fake Marriage" is a love story about a middle-aged professional female executive who was sent back to her country due to visa issues, and who wanted to stay in the company for her career and stay in the United States in a fake marriage with her American male assistant.

The screenwriters' union should not have the idea of ​​"Fake Marriage". After all, this is an original script in the future. As for whether the screenwriter has an idea in his head now, it doesn't matter.

Even if the Screenwriters Guild is registered, Xinghai Pictures will buy it back.

In the evening, when Simon returned to Beverly Hills, he picked up Blake Lively, who was back in Los Angeles.

The drama project of "Gossip Girl" is about to start, and Blake Lively is the default heroine!

On the sofa, Blake Lively leaned against Simon's arms, stared at the TV, and asked, "Simon, "Gossip Girl" has two heroines, and one more, are you going to pass the audition?"

"Already, do you know that I met a girl when I was in the "Wedding Australian" crew? She was 20 years old at the time, we worked together for a week, she was a good person, I was I think she is very different, have a belief, not very like someone in the entertainment industry, it’s rare!” Simon was talking about the first person who became a friend of her own, Jennifer Smith, who was originally going to be signed by Sonia Roman Hers, and was later transferred to Sonia Roman's high school classmate and friend Susan White by AC Agency.

So, Simon asked Susan White to sign her. Although she didn't have any good resources, she could finally play small roles in some movies and TV.

Blake Lively and Jennifer Smith are the Queen S and Queen B in Gossip Girl.

"Well, isn't she beautiful then!" Blake Lively thought, and he must find a chance to get to know him first, anyway, under the banner of his agent Susan White.

"Uh, it's okay, otherwise how can you be Queen B in the show!" Simon said and kissed Blake Lively on the mouth.

"Oh, so you only dated for a week? You didn't see her after that?" Blake Lively asked.

"What kind of relationship, friend, is the kind of friend who works together, it's a bit like a traditional Catholic family," Simon may be his own delusion, the first friend always thinks of her in the best.

"That's the same as me, I went to Catholic school too!" Blake Lively said while propping up on Simon.

The two people who embraced each other slowly warmed up, and then before Simon moved further.

Blake Lively said a little embarrassedly: "Simon, it's not very convenient these days!"

"Ah!" When Simon heard this, he was indeed a little discouraged, so he leaned on the sofa and said a little aggrieved:

"Then what?"

Blake Lively whispered a few words in Simon's ear, and Simon nodded quickly!

Then Blake Lively knelt in front of the sofa.

Simon Pike leaned comfortably on the sofa and watched the TV in front of him, his hands lightly placed on Blake Lively's head, heaving up and down with his head.

"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" is being broadcast on ABC TV, which is a high-rated variety show that imported copyright from the United Kingdom.

Win a million dollar jackpot by answering quizzes!

""Millionaire"?" Simon's mind suddenly popped out of the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" filmed in India!

Such a good movie, Best Picture Oscar, almost forgot, the script seems to be based on an Indian novel!

After a while, Blake Lively stood up, wiped his mouth, and said, "Why did you seem so excited just now?"

"Ah, nothing!" Simon smiled and thought of a good script again, and he was really excited.

"I'm going to take a shower first, rest early in the evening!" Blake Lively said and went straight to the bathroom.

Three days later, Xinghai Pictures, in Simon's office, office assistant Martha Cosby came in to report: "Boss, we have registered the idea of ​​​​the script "Fake Marriage" with the Screenwriters Guild."

"Very good," Simon was very satisfied, that is, he was indeed an original, and immediately asked: "Has the Screenwriters Guild registered for a script idea like "Millionaire"?"

"There is one, it's a screenplay adapted by Simon Beaufoy, the screenwriter of the movie "The Six Heroes of the Light Pig", through the work "QA" by the Indian writer Vikas Swarup. "Millionaire", registered in June this year, Mr. Simon Beaufoy made three trips to India!" explained Martha Cosby.

"The Six Heroes of the Light Pig" is a very successful R-rated comedy film released in 1997.

"Inform Nina, we want the script of "The Slumdog Millionaire"!" Simon likes this kind of low-cost movie with good reputation and box office.
