The Spice Girls are simple, Daenerys Entertainment has been discovering teen pop stars for years, and it's easy to replicate, even if they fail, it doesn't matter.

It's the Harry Potter series, it would be a pity if such a super big IP was dropped by a butterfly.

Inside the front cabin study of a Boeing 767.

Simon was thinking about these things with two minds, and girl a knocked on the door and came in and delivered a document that was just sorted out: "Boss, this is from Chris Lee."

At the reception at Jonathan's house two days ago, Simon met Chris Lee, the president of Sony's Columbia Pictures, and had a few chats. The next day, someone sent a message and asked Chris Lee to sort out a copy of Sony Pictures. All project information being incubated to yourself.

It's actually some kind of temptation.

Sony has been in Hollywood for so many years. If it was in the past, foreign capital was lingering in Hollywood, which was in line with Simon's plan. Times change. Since Daenerys Entertainment does not intend to retain its strength and seek coexistence, it should also be the Japanese. Drivers swept away from Hollywood.

In the past, with the popular series such as Men in Black and Spider-Man, Sony successfully survived the difficult period around 2000 and established a firm foothold in Hollywood for a long time. Now, since the Japanese are going to be out, Simon needs to control as much as possible Sony's recurrence of variables like the sudden emergence of blockbuster movies.

Chris Lee is a pawn dropped by Simon's temptation.

Now that Chris Lee has brought the information, it is clear that the Hollywood executive not only understood Simon's intentions, but also decisively sent the nomination certificate requested by Simon.

Simon took the documents handed over by Girl A and opened it, and found that the information given by Chris Lee was more detailed than what he asked for, including Sony's film list this year, as well as the internal evaluation tendency of various incubation projects, etc. .

After several consecutive years of losses, the two major labels, Columbia and Samsung, controlled by Sony, are expected to produce only 11 films in total this year, including 7 Columbia and 4 Samsung Pictures.

In addition to the box office fiasco in Walking with the Devil on the Easter schedule, the key films of 1997, as well as the scheduled summer of Anaconda and Absolute Power, and the year-end schedule of Perfection and Starship Troopers, the other budgets are within 30 million US dollars of small pieces.

It's a far cry from what Simon remembers Sony's 1997 list.

Sort out the information in my mind a little bit. Historically, 1997 was the year of Sony’s big comeback. In the previous life of the annual box office list, Sony occupied 4 films, namely Men in Black, Air Force One, Perfection, and Me. Best friend's wedding.

It was officially because it sold four movies in a year that Sony at that time survived the most difficult period, and waited until the millennium to rely on the Spider-Man series to completely gain a foothold.

This time, things apparently changed too much.

First of all, under the strong impact of Daenerys Entertainment, and Sony's successive losses, the Japanese electronics giant, like several other Hollywood studios, has to actively reduce film production. There are 11 films under its two labels, which is not too few. Fox has less than 10 films this year.

However, compared to the success or failure of Men in Black, Air Force One, Walking with the Devil, Starship Troopers, and the Fifth Element, which were successful or failed in 1997, this time, the blockbuster with a budget of $50 million is only Walk with the Devil, Absolute Power, Perfection, and Starship Troopers.

On a more careful analysis, the four major films distributed in the summer and the end of the year are also very interesting.

Absolute power is a crime drama directed and acted by Clint Eastwood again. The old cowboy has not been hanging on the Warner tree since Steve Ross died. In addition, the box office has always been very good. Guaranteed, popular with major studios, this time it was attracted by Sony and spent $50 million to shoot this new film.

Python Disaster, a typical Hollywood monster adventure film, once starring Jennifer Lopez, and it was a typical bad film, but the box office was not bad, coupled with the hot sale of the video tape market, a series of sequels were subsequently produced, Some of them went straight to the videotape and DVD market like the Xenomorph follow-up.

This time, because Jennifer Lopez is busy judging on American Idol, Demi Moore is the heroine.

Obviously, it is still the influence of Simon, the big butterfly.

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore would have been very nourishing in the nineties without the rise of Daenerys Entertainment.

Even if there is no representative work after the ghost relationship is over, Demi Moore still relies on the huge amount of hot money that poured into Hollywood in the 1990s to take on big-budget films such as the Devil's Soldier and ****, regardless of the investment in these projects. How miserable the people are, Moore's salary of more than ten million dollars in a row is safe.

Of course, because of her character failure, Demi Moore, who played the villain in Charlie's Angels 2 in 2003, was only paid $2 million.

Now, under the strength of Daenerys Entertainment, it is not easy for other big studios to live, and the hot money is not stupid. The number of inflows into Hollywood has been greatly reduced, and some of them have been absorbed by Simon. The most direct result is that stars eat The chances of hot money bonuses are also greatly reduced. Another result is that the good era of the 20 million salary of Hollywood's first-line celebrities has not yet arrived. At present, the salary ceiling has been successfully stuck at the 15 million upper limit by Simon.

The butterfly influence on a smaller scale is that the life of the couple Bruce Willis and Demi Moore is nowhere near as good as it once was.

In any case, Demi Moore still got the role of Sony's Wild Python Disaster this time. Compared with Jennifer Lopez, who had just crossed the circle not long ago, although Demi Moore's coffee position is higher after all, the budget of the film is still only $45 million, less than the blockbuster threshold of $50 million.

As for the box office this time, according to the inside information given by Chris Lee, the effect of the python disaster is not good, and the prospects are not too optimistic.

Then there is the perfection of the year-end file.

This is a feature film, or a romance film, which is a collaboration between James Brooks, a well-known Hollywood filmmaker who has produced blockbuster films such as Mother-Daughter Love and Flying Over the Future, and Jack Nicholson. The double harvest of awards not only made Jack Nicholson the Oscar emperor again, but also entered the sixth place in the annual box office list.

The final Starship Troopers, needless to say, was another box office fiasco relative to the cost of breaking through 100 million.

On the whole, Walking with the Devil has failed, and the follow-up four feature Absolute Power, Python Disaster, Perfection and Starship Troopers. Even if Perfection can sell like the original time and space, it will be difficult to reverse the overall decline of Sony Pictures.

As long as there are no major accidents, in 1997, Sony Pictures will still end at a loss.

After reading Sony's 1997 film list, Simon scribbled my best friend's wedding on the scrap paper he had at hand, and then scribbled it out.

This once top ten film at the box office is obviously a tailor-made project for Julia Roberts, so it is natural to be dropped by the butterfly. Since I thought of it, I will definitely make it, and it will be a billion-dollar film with a single effort, so why not do it.

Immediately, Simon did not forget Air Force One, and added another one.

It's also a top ten film.

Even if the budget is a bit high and the price/performance ratio is relatively low, it will be fine for MGM or other studios in the future.

After getting this done, I continued to scroll, and I soon found out that Air Force One was still on Sony’s incubation list. However, because Harrison Ford’s experience in cooperating with the devil was very bad, Sony executives launched the production progress of this project, and now , Walking with the Devil is a complete box office failure, if nothing else, at least Sony will definitely not make this film again.

When Simon saw this, he didn't need to do this anymore, just commented on the information.

Now that Chris Lee has given his vote, Simon will of course reciprocate. This project can be quietly suppressed by the other party. After the Japanese get out, they can take it out again, and it will also become a seniority.

And then, Simon soon saw another project, Godzilla.

Sony is in contact with Japan's Toho for copyright, but it has not yet been negotiated.

Simon immediately listed it as a sniper target.

In 1998, Roland Emmerich's version of Godzilla, because Godzilla was made into a Tyrannosaurus rex, caused a lot of bad reviews, but because of the reputation of this world-class IP, coupled with the shocking special effects after all, the world is close to The $400 million box office was not a failure, and Sony basically recovered its costs and made a profit.

This time, Roland Emmerich is still under Daenerys Entertainment. If Sony negotiates the copyright, it may not be easy to do worse than Emmerich once did.

With Godzilla's global reputation, the box office is quite guaranteed, and it may explode if you are not careful.

Simon doesn't want to see any more hits from Sony Pictures next.

After a little thought, Simon turned to the computer on the desk and sent an email directly to Amy Pascal, asking her to try to contact the Japanese and cut off the project.

At the end of the file, Simon successfully found a big pit.

One of the projects Kevin Costner is lobbying for is called 2013 Ultimate Sentinel, a sci-fi adaptation of a post-nuclear war where an apocalyptic wanderer accidentally acquires a postman outfit and begins pretending to be a postman Wandering among the various gathering places, he unexpectedly became the spiritual leader among the inhabitants of the end times.

Obviously, Kevin Costner is not reconciled to the failure of the future water world, which is related to the momentum on the end of the apocalypse.

However, because it was also a blockbuster that failed tragically, Simon also remembered it very clearly.

In the past, the 2013 Ultimate God Mission was invested by Warner and released at the end of this year. Now, because everyone's life is not very good, Costner has not attracted investment until now, Sony is only one of the negotiating objects, and, even more information given by Chris Lee, Sony is obviously not too cold.

The question now is how to get Sony to catch a cold.

In fact, the method is also simple. As long as Daenerys Entertainment expresses interest, just like the script of the bad thing that was just snatched away some time ago, this trick is also tried and tested in Hollywood.

Of course, avoid self-defeating.

Simon thought about it carefully. In the end, he did not choose to repeat the same trick, but planned to let Chris Lee operate it himself. Even if the Sony executives were very stuck on the Sony Pictures team, it is impossible to have no room for operation here.

As for how to do it?

Simon is confident in the ability of Hollywood natives to fool investors.

This is another test.

After roughly sorting out this, Simon quickly typed out a memo on the computer, transferred it to the mailbox of Girl A, and asked her to send someone to print it out and forward it to Chris Lee.

Also suggested not to use e-mail.

After all, this kind of thing is not suitable for leaving evidence after all.

Get it done, Simon keeps busy until Bo

The Sound 767 landed at London's Heathrow Airport at around 9:00 pm local time on April 10.

It was late at night when I arrived at the mansion on Kensington Garden Street in downtown London.

Simon had just entered the door, but a small figure rushed over first, smiled and bent over and opened his arms to catch him. The five-year-old girl stuck her hands and feet on Simon like a koala, and called out 'Dad'. , and then put the little head on Simon's shoulder, and in a blink of an eye, there was no movement.

Clearly asleep.

Yulia Shurshigina walked forward with three women, Ivana Antonenko and Natalia Bansikova, and watched the woman Nina being held in the arms of the man, quite considerate and pampered She looked like she was drowning, Shuer Shijina couldn't help feeling a little warm in her heart, but she stretched out her hand and said, "Sir, let me come."

Simon shook his head: "No, where is the bedroom, I'll take the little guy up."

Having said that, Simon couldn't help but think of six women who were pregnant at the same time.

It's all been confirmed so far, and they're all boys.

Six boys.

Simon was so stressed that he didn't even have a padded jacket.

This one in my arms, although I don't see many people on weekdays, it can be regarded as giving Simon the feeling of a little padded jacket.

Shur Shigina listened to Simon's words and hurriedly led the way. Ivana Antonenko subconsciously wanted to keep up, and she regretted that she did not let her daughter Vera wait with her. If she could make men dote on her like this, her status would be much higher. On the contrary, Natalia Bansikova did not keep up with the fun, but greeted Lady A and Carmen Keith, and helped arrange the luggage and accommodation of Simon's entourage.

When I came to a bedroom upstairs, Simon was just about to put the sleeping little guy on the bed, but Nina woke up immediately and entangled Simon again to hug him.

Simon had to hug for a while, until the little girl fell asleep again, tried again, and woke up again.

Shuer Shijina had to step forward and said softly, "Baby, Dad has to rest too, and I can see you tomorrow, don't pester anyone."

The little guy also wrapped his hands and feet around Simon, and heard the words: "Then, I sleep with my father, and my mother."

Shul Shijina immediately shook her head with a blushing face: "No."

"Why?"

""

Seeing Shuer Shijina at a loss for words, Simon smiled and said, "Because Nina is already a big girl, of course she can't sleep with her parents."
