Hollywood Hunter

After lunch, the afternoon was the production and publicity meeting of the two films from New World Pictures. The time is already October 18th, Friday.

Daenerys Entertainment's Halloween schedule this year will officially open next week, that is, on October 26, Annabelle, the latest series of the Conjuring Cinematic Universe produced by New World Pictures, will be officially released.

As another extension of the Conjuring Cinematic Universe series, Annabelle's story prototype took place in 1970, also from the material provided by the supernatural investigators Warren and his wife, telling the story of a ragdoll possessed by evil spirits.

The production cost of the film is still $15 million, far more than the 6.5 million in the 2014 version of the original time and space, and this is still under the premise of not taking inflation into account.

Annabelle, who used to be a derivative of Warner's The Conjuring series, was produced in 20-movement. At that time, there was no concept of the Conjuring movie universe, so I didn't have much expectations. Not only was the production budget shabby, but even the director and protagonists of the film were all It was a newcomer, and as a result, the film was a great success, with a production cost of US$6.5 million and a cumulative global box office of more than US$200 million. After this, Warners began to seriously build the conjuring movie universe.

This time is of course different.

The new conjuring movie universe, the first two series, the conjuring and the haunting of the mortuary have all been successful, the new version of Annabelle, Daenerys Entertainment attached great importance to it from the beginning, so it directly locked the production budget of 15 million US dollars, Whether it is a director or an actor, relatively speaking, they have a considerable foundation.

Like the most important heroine, this time Madeleine Stowe.

Although the actress who debuted in the 1980s has always been a little tepid, she has been recognized for her appearance and acting skills. After cooperation, it can be said that what is missing is just an opportunity.

Annabelle, who is basically supported by the heroine, is such an opportunity for Madeline Stowe.

Although horror movies often don't provide much for actors, as long as the project achieves the kind of success of the first two series of The Conjuring Cinematic Universe, the actress, who has always been biased towards the vase, can get rid of the shadows brought by the once famous celebrities. , and then get more attention and resources from Hollywood.

Because of this attribute, the original Annabelle heroine also experienced a lot of competition.

The film was completed two months ago, and the announcement was started at the same time. The afternoon meeting was only to discuss the release sprint in the last week and some follow-up arrangements after the film was released.

The other is American Pie.

This youth sex comedy has been cast during this time. Compared with the starting budget of $15 million in the Conjuring Movie Universe, the production budget of the first American Pie is only $1,000. However, because it is a project under Daenerys Entertainment , or attracted many teenage actors or actors who pretended to be teenagers to come to fight for it. Inspired by American Pie, Simon also realized that the next few years could start a youth film boom again.

Speaking of which, the last youth film boom should have been Simon's debut in the 1980s, when he gave several series of Death Comes, Butterfly Effect and Scream. Now, ten years later, these series It has basically been quiet, and in addition to the rapid rise of a series of super blockbuster films in recent years, youth films have fallen into a low ebb.

Now, American Pie just happens to be a fresh start.

In order to promote this plan, Simon arranged for Daenerys Entertainment to sign as long-term film contracts as possible with the selected actors this time, starting with three films, and most of them are packaged five contracts, basically a group of newcomers or pretending to be newcomers. Cainiao will buy out in the next ten years.

Next, the same team, horror movies, sex comedies, spoofs, etc., can all try. As long as a certain potential brand effect is formed, the market will definitely favor this same group of people more.

And, although bound, it's also a boon for the actor himself.

After all, the biggest feature of youth film actors in the past is that the short-term elimination rate of the acting cycle is high. After a few movies, they are often forgotten by the audience. Daenerys Entertainment has created a fixed team of youth films, which can not only control costs, maintain the continuity of the series, but also continue their careers as much as possible for actors.

Speaking of American Pie, as the beginning of another youth film boom in Daenerys Entertainment's New World Pictures, the project has directly finalized the popular schedule for next year's summer vacation. ideas.

Throughout the afternoon, the meeting on Annabelle went on for an hour, and the rest of the time was reserved for American Pie and the related youth film program.

What Simon is most interested in is the pile of fresh meat that Daenerys Entertainment signed during this time.

Because of Simon's involvement, many names are familiar.

Of course, it was the actresses who attracted Simon's interest.

For example, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jordana Brewster, who had a very short shelf life but was amazing when she was young, and Rishi Witherspoon, Anna Farrell, Jennifer Esposito, Noza Elizabeth, Kelly Russell and even Charlize Theron who accidentally jumped into this list, to name a few. Of these actresses, one American Pie will definitely not be used up, but in the next plan, everyone can get a good chance.

And, if it weren't for the lack of power during this time, Simon would have wanted to throw a special party to bring the girls together for fun.

At the end of the meeting, Simon did not forget to talk about the hangover, which was produced in New York some time ago.

In order to promote a dry casino that is already under the control of the Westeros system, Simon plans to arrange the original hangover scene in Atlantic City on the east coast, in advance of shooting this super comedy that caused a phenomenon-level movie craze.

However, compared to American Pie or Annabelle, who will start painting next week, because even next year's film list is already full, this project can only be pushed to the year after.

This also happens to give the project enough time to create.

In addition, this project can also be used to foster a gang of bad boys in order to compete with several comedy stars at this stage.

After a week of work, Simon set off again for the East Coast the next day.

Mainly to come to accompany women.

In addition, the four major fashion weeks have officially ended, so the final rehearsal stage of the last stage of the Victoria's Secret show in the first stage also requires Simon to keep an eye on it.

It's too troublesome to say.

After some thoughts last month, unknowingly, the Westeros family has three more children in the pipeline.

One in Grace's belly.

One in Maria's belly.

And finally, Erin Lauder one.

The first two are fine, but the last Lauder girl is the trouble. The main thing is that Simon didn't have a very clear plan at the beginning. , Well, there is an element of adventure in it, I didn't expect a shot.

Now we can only honestly bear the consequences.

This time I came here to discuss this issue.

When Erin and Simon were together, they always said half-truths and resentment that you can't marry me and so on. The thoughts are self-evident, but it is impossible to get married. If Simon dares to divorce Janet, according to What the woman said at the beginning turned out to be digging out the heart and digging out the lungs. There is no other meaning.

Simon never thought about it either.

So, after discussing with the woman and even her family elders all day on Sunday, a plan was finally come up.

The first is the child's belonging.

In the future, it will be raised by the Lauder family. Even if they don’t care much about money, they must pay alimony, which is $1 million a month. Irene will be responsible for it until the child is 18 years old. in the trust fund. If it is other rich people, $1 million a month is definitely not easy to bear. For Simon, it is not a problem at all.

Again, money is not a problem.

Secondly, it is a relatively tug-of-war topic.

Last name.

Unlike other fathers who have created a child outside that they can't even recognize, Simon insisted that the child be named Westeros, and the Lauder family, as Irene Lauder told Simon last time, only their sisters in the family. Two, there is no boy, if there is a child, preferably a boy, it happens that the surname Lauder can inherit the family business.

At the end of the dispute, the Lauder family made a compromise, but the child must add Lauder's middle name.

Again, there's a topic that Simon hasn't thought of much.

Lauder's family asked the children to convert to Judaism in the future.

The Lauder family may not be noticed by many people, but it is true that they are Jews.

Simon has always been insensitive to religion, and has no deep-rooted prejudice of Westerners. Therefore, he readily agreed to a solemn and obviously uneasy request from the Lauder family.

In fact, another meaning is that Simon admits that the little guy in a woman's stomach is a Jew.

It doesn't matter.

All in all, after a busy day, in addition to the three main topics, with all kinds of details, the lawyers who were secretly invited sorted out more than one hundred pages of legal documents about the child.

Although he is oriental in his bones, Simon has no dislike for these.

It's like the prenup that she signed when she and Janet got married.

A lot of things are decided in advance, which is a good thing for both parties.

After a busy day during the day, Simon was left to attend a party organized by Lauder's family at night.

Seeing that many Jewish leaders from the political and business circles on the East Coast were quietly attending, Simon realized that this child may mean many other things.

Think about it a little to understand.

The huge Westeros system has developed to the point where it has a pivotal influence on the entire world economy. More importantly, the industries that the Westeros system is involved in, whether it is Hollywood, fashion circles, or even Wall Street, are all It's the area where Jewish groups gather, and even Hollywood was basically Jewish territory before Simon came along.

And Simon himself, until now, apart from the Johnston family, there are not many people in the outside world who can judge his specific ethnicity.

Of course, it is easy to tell that Simon Westeros is definitely not black.

All right.

All in all, while Simon has never been too sensitive about ethnicity, like religion, that doesn't mean that the same is true for everyone else.

Whether it is Anglo-Saxon, Jewish, or even the Italians, French, British, etc., which are divided by country, there are actually quite strict racial circles. The root of racial discrimination in the West is actually here. Even after more than ten years, it looks like a great unity, but in fact it is also distinct.

Different ethnic groups naturally mean different racial interests.

Simon has not been publicly

Perhaps in the minds of many people, the orphan who came from the orphanage did not understand it clearly. In this case, he can only pin his hopes on the offspring of the other party.

However, the two women in the Dumay Point Manor, the two Jennys, are obviously standard Anglo-Saxons, which means that the same is true for the little guys in the Dumay Point Manor.

If these little guys inherit Simon Westero's career and become the masters of Hollywood and even the fashion circle in the future, it is difficult to say whether they will be as insensitive to different ethnic groups in various circles as they are now.

Simon's insensitivity to race and religion is, of course, no secret to those around him.

Now that Simon Westeros suddenly has a child with the Lauder family's daughter, things are suddenly a little different.

The Lauder family is a representative of the Jewish consortium and a representative of the Jewish consortium in the fashion field.

As long as this child can be justified and become the heir of Simon Westeros in the future, then, at least, the Jews will certainly not be too passive in the future Westeros system.

It is very likely that this is actually one of the reasons why the Lauder family made concessions in terms of surnames.

After all, whether this child will be surnamed Lauder or Westeros in the future will definitely mean different things to many people in the outside world.

Manhattan.

Inside the Lauder family's mansion.

Eileen Lauder, holding Simon's arm, socialized in the crowd, chatted with Terry Semel for a while in the Soviet Union, and when she led Simon to his place, she finally said to the man beside her, "Do you understand? ?"

Simon nodded: "Yeah, it seems, I was tricked."

Irene was immediately dissatisfied: "You figure it out, bastard, did you make my belly bigger, or did you do it on purpose, it should be me who was tricked."
