Like Daenerys Entertainment's "Steel Magnolias" and "Driving for Miss Daisy" in the last two years, "a fean" is based on the hit Broadway play about a fledgling navy. Lawyers are under heavy pressure to investigate the story of an army murder.

The original version of "A Few Good Men" was also translated as "The Righteous Sea", starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore. It was also a box office hit that year. However, just by looking at the positions of the three protagonists, you know that the production cost of the film will not be too low, which is why Simon is willing to take out the project and cooperate with MGM.

Shirley Lansing took the coffee brought by the female assistant, thanked him, and said to Simon: "It's a very good story, similar to Harrison Ford's "Presumed Innocence" this summer, it should be Got an Oscar for sure."

Harrison Ford's summer release "Presumed Innocence" is also a forensic crime movie.

The film's start was mediocre, but since its release on June 8, the film has accumulated more than 70 million US dollars at the box office in the three months since its release. The total domestic box office is expected to reach 80 million US dollars. expected.

Simon even thinks that "A Few Good People" in the original time and space is probably a movie that follows the trend of "Presumed Innocence".

"In this case, let's start preparations as soon as possible. In addition, I have given Demi Moore the heroine, she is very suitable for this role, and it happens that she has a contract with Daenerys. The hero Daniel Kaffey , you can reach out to Tom Hanks."

Shirley Lansing hesitated: "Simon, I think Hanks is more suitable for comedy, and he is not young enough."

"You can take the time to watch the demo of "Pink League". Hanks has a much wider range of scenes than you think. Moreover, Hanks is 34 years old this year, which is already very young in Hollywood. If you can't do it, you can modify the script. " The original script of Rain Man was two middle-aged men, and the producers wanted Hoffman and Nicholson to play together, but later changed it to a pair of brothers with a big age difference for Cruise. In the same way, the male protagonist is not necessarily a fledgling, he may be a middle-aged man who has been marginalized or made some mistakes, in short, he must give the audience a sense of contrast to counterattack."

Shirley Lansing nodded, but said: "Actually, Simon, I showed Cruise the script. Tom is very interested in the role of Caffee, and his offer is not high, $6 million, That's $3 million less than what he was paid for in "Thunderbolt," which is sincere."

To ensure the success of "A Few Good People", it is undoubtedly the safest to use the original cast.

Simon didn't think about it from the beginning.

Over the years, Hollywood studios have lost too much power in front of their stars.

Simon wants to take back all the powers that should belong to the studio now. He will not allow Daenerys Entertainment to become passive in front of any star, let alone Paramount in the original time and space, for the sake of "Disc". The revenue share of "The Impossible" vigorously fought with his male protagonist. After the trouble, he had to cooperate with each other again in a dreary manner.

Although Cruise's offer of $6 million was obviously a show of affection to Daenerys Entertainment and wanted to resolve some of the previous entanglements, Simon didn't want to let go and insisted: "Shirley, I know you and Ke Ruth has a good relationship, however, this matter is not negotiable, and Daenerys Entertainment will not cooperate with Cruise."

Shirley Lansing knew that she was not qualified to bargain with the young man in front of her, so she could only express regret to Cruise and said, "Then, I will contact Hanks as soon as possible."

After talking about this matter, Simon changed the subject: "The next script, you can wait until the completion of "A Few Good People". In addition, about 007, how did you and Brosnan talk about it, and the copyright of Spectre Party?"

Shirley Lansing shook her head and said: "Brosnan refused. Moreover, the Brosley family means that Timothy Dalton can be cast in a sequel. The copyright of Spectre will probably be negotiated recently, 300 $10,000, this price can’t be pressed any more.”

The copyright of 007 has always been jointly held by Lianmei, a subsidiary of MGM, and the Brockley family in the United Kingdom. Moreover, the shooting rights of the previous 007 series have always been in the hands of the Brockley family.

Pierce Brosnan is 37 years old this year, older than Hanks. After working in the circle for so many years, she finally became popular with "Pretty Woman", and she really won't easily lock herself in the role of 007.

Simon is not reluctant, but said: "Even if Brosnan is unwilling to act, the male lead will still have to be replaced. Several of Dalton's 007 films were not successful, and the most recent "License to Kill" should be the best 007 series at the box office. It's a bad one, and it's just a waste of time to continue."

At that meeting in Brisbane, Qintex's shareholders and creditors had proposed that Simon join MGM's board of directors or serve as a consultant to the company, but Simon refused.

In this way, Simon is completely involved in the operation of MGM without a legitimate name.

However, after personally experiencing the meeting that day, Shirley Lansing knew that even if the young man in front of him wanted to replace his MGM CEO, it would be easy, so even if there was a little resistance in his heart, he did not dare to ignore it. Simon's suggestion, said: "I will discuss this with the Brockley family when I go back."

Ending the meeting with Shirley Lansing, Simon sends him off and returns

The borough resumes afternoon work.

Until about six o'clock in the evening, Simon was looking through another copy of the copyright material of the "Killing Hour" novel that he had recently obtained. The phone on the desk rang, and the female assistant reminded mca chairman Lou Vasalman to call in person. Simon A little surprised, but still picked up the microphone.

After a few chats, Simon hung up the phone, summoned a female assistant, and said, "Vasalman invited me to a cocktail party tonight, let's go together later, and we will fly to San Francisco for the night after the end, how about it? "

Jennifer nodded: "Okay, but I won't accompany you to San Francisco after the reception. I have to work tomorrow."

Simon's trip to San Francisco is serious business, and will probably be there for two days.

Listening to Jennifer's words, Simon pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Don't go to the party, you can go home and rest."

The female assistant's eyes were bright and she insisted: "I must go."

Simon grimaced and said, "You see that being so tight will make me feel rebellious, and it seems that this should be Jenny's responsibility."

The female assistant nodded firmly and smiled: "Yes, it's really Jenny's responsibility."

All right.

This is also a Jenny.

Seeing that the female assistant stepped out on the small high heels after she finished speaking, Simon just smiled and started to read the information in front of him again, and he couldn't help thinking about the purpose of Lu Vasalman's invitation.

According to some sources in the circle, Panasonic's acquisition team has started formal contact with mca management these days. On Simon’s side, Daenerys Entertainment, Cersei Capital and Raybold Law Firm have also formed an acquisition team of about 60 people.

It is unlikely that the matter will be kept secret any longer.

Come to think of it, Lou Vasalman should have received the news that he planned to join the battle group in advance to raise mca's bidding price.

In memory, Panasonic's acquisition of mca was very unsuccessful. In order to prevent mca's stock price from skyrocketing to an unacceptable level, Simon did not plan to take action in advance, but planned to wait until the negotiations between Panasonic and mca reached a stalemate, and then consider the right time to propose an acquisition. Offer.

Even if the acquisition negotiations between Panasonic and mca are no longer as bumpy as the original time and space, but smooth sailing, Daenerys Entertainment can also make a cut before mca votes on the shareholders of the acquisition.

Still, tonight I'll have to find an excuse to perfunctory Vasalman.

Simon quickly remembered another thing he was thinking about recently, a plan he was planning to launch after he flew to San Francisco tomorrow. An acquisition that also involves billions of dollars may serve as a temporary shield.

In short, mca cannot be allowed to use itself as a bargaining chip to raise the stock price and intensify the competition.

After making up his mind, Simon's attention turned back to the "Killing Hour" data in front of him.

"The Killing Hour" is a racist and justice-related crime thriller published last year, similar to the very famous "To Kill a Mockingbird."

The original Killing Hour movie, which was released in 1996 and starred Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConaughey and Sandra Bullock, was also a very good box office success and an Oscar nod.

Not only that, John Grimson, the novelist of "The Killing Hour", has two other works, "The Gannet Assassination Order" and "Sugar-Coated Trap", which were all blockbusters in the 1990s. It's just that the original novels of the latter two films have not been published, and Daenerys Entertainment has signed the priority of John Grimson's other two novels by the way while buying "Killing Hour" this time.

However, Simon has no intention of bidding for these projects in the short term.

Just next year, the top-selling projects related to Daenerys Entertainment, including its own production and external cooperation, have already included "Toy Story", "Silence of the Lambs", "Scream 3", "Few Good People", " Batman: The Dark Knight, The Terminator, and The Outlaw are seven blockbusters that are expected to hit the $100 million box office.

Although the annual box office scale in the United States has exceeded 5 billion US dollars earlier than the original time and space, this ticket base is limited after all, but these films may form internal competition in Simon's view, not to mention that there will be "Lightning" next year. "Man", "Golden Eye of 007", "Captain Hawk" and other key projects of the studio.

In order to avoid too much competition, Simon has recently decided to reschedule "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" to 1992. Some blockbuster projects that were originally planned to be launched in advance have also been put on hold for the time being, and he is already considering lengthening the first phase of the DC Cinematic Universe. Make rhythm.

The 1990s in the original time and space was a period of great films, and Simon did not want this market to be occupied by various action blockbusters and superhero movies prematurely. Only when a hundred flowers bloom can we maintain prosperity more lastingly. Too much focus on blockbuster commercial films is actually very unfavorable for the long-term development of Hollywood.
