Madonna's pursuit of Hollywood can only be described by a repeated defeat.

Golden sour plum, it doesn't matter.

The box office was a fiasco, and it was the producers who lost anyway.

There are only a few positive reviews such as the cameo in Pulp Fiction, and Queen McQueen is not the key.

All in all, Queen McQueen, who has reached the peak of her singing career, has always been obsessed with Hollywood.

The singer recently picked up a very large-scale project, "Naked Love". The script tells the story of a woman and her lover who caused the death of each other in the process of falling in love and was charged with murder, and then she was exonerated in court step by step.

Broadly speaking, "The Naked Thrill" is a mix of "Instinct" and "Presumed Innocence."

Needless to say, "Instinct" is a crime drama starring Harrison Ford two years ago: a prosecutor caught in the charge of murdering his lover and exonerating himself in court after a bumpy ride , but in the end it was discovered that the murderer was actually his wife.

"Presumed Innocence" grossed more than $86 million in North America, which is also a box office dark horse relative to its $22 million production cost.

Daenerys and MGM collaborated last year in "A Few Good People", which is roughly a follow-up "Presumed Innocence".

"Naked Horror" captures the femme fatale setting of "Instinct" and the court confrontation elements of "Presumption of Innocence".

In the original time and space, there was a lot of movement in "The Naked Thrill", and Simon also had a lot of memories because of it.

The selling point of the film is basically Madonna's passion scene.

However, it turns out that the audience is not so interested in McQueen's nudes. The film, which had a budget of $30 million, ended up taking back just over $13 million at the box office.

"Maggie, I've read the script, but I don't quite understand. Apart from your large-scale participation, what else is this movie going to use to attract audiences?"

Madonna noticed that Simon's tone was obviously not too interested, and immediately said: "Simon, don't you think this script is very similar to "Instinct"? Moreover, the type of film is still a very popular court crime film in the past two years."

"Okay, let's analyze it," Simon saw Madonna subconsciously leaning in front of him, raised his face as if he was going to come over, took a step back and said, "The success of "Instinct" is largely due to The controversy caused by the film, the high-IQ heroine played with the police in the palm of her hand, this strong plot conflict is also a big selling point. "Presumed Innocence" sold because of the wonderful interlocking plot and the final big movie. Reverse. So, you see, these two movies, um, may have a passion scene, but the audience buys tickets to come in, but it's not for the passion scene."

Madonna saw Simon's retreat, and got together again.

After divorcing Sean Penn and breaking up with Warren Beatty, Her Lady Queen is now single.

"But, Simon, all of what you're talking about is in 'The Naked Horror'."

"It's a pity, Maggie, some elements or existences are not obvious," Simon shook his head and said: "All I saw was that the heroine slept with all the key characters in the film, and finally let them help her get rid of the crime. , Compared with Catherine in "Instinct", this is very inferior. Catherine uses her high IQ, desire is just desire, she is even using desire to put herself into a more dangerous situation, playing heartbeat games with the male protagonist with confidence ."

"Otherwise, Simon, how about you help me revise the script, or you can direct it yourself."

Madonna said, a small hand reached over, and her index finger hooked Simon's suit pocket, with obvious provocation in her eyes.

Simon no longer retreated, looked at Madonna's movements with interest, and smiled: "Maggie, I have a female companion tonight."

Sarah Michelle Gellar, who had been carefully holding Simon's arm, raised her chin slightly when she saw the man mentioning herself, and looked at Madonna, who was also not tall.

Madonna just glanced at the girl and said, "Little guy, let me and Simon be alone for a while?"

Queen McQueen's aura was too strong, and that natural tone suddenly made Sarah Michelle Gellar feel a little guilty, and looked at Simon subconsciously.

Simon shook his head at the girl slightly, turned to Madonna, and gestured to Sidney Pollack not far away, saying, "Maggie, Sidney and I still have something to talk about, Daenerys doesn't plan to You can talk to other people about the 'The Naked Thing' project."

"It's a pity," Madonna saw that Simon refused directly, and her tone became a lot colder. She didn't entangle any more, but still complained in her eyes: "Also, men are really unreliable. I didn't expect your taste to change so quickly."

When Madonna walked away, Simon took Sarah to the three chatting Robert Redford, Sidney Pollack and Barbra Streisand.

The three Hollywood veterans all rose in the 1960s and 1970s. The "Feelings of the Past", which they once collaborated on, was one of the classic movies of the 1970s. Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand also had a romance.

In addition, the three of them are also artists under C at this time.

After greeting, Simon and Sidney Pollack talked about the "Sugar-Coated Trap".

Sidney Pollack is the original director of "Sugar-Coated Trap". To be honest, Simon doesn't think Pollack is suitable for this kind of suspenseful thriller with the theme of lawyers. Pollack's famous films "Out of Africa" ​​and "My Fair Lady", They are all inclined to romance films, "The Feelings of the Past"

” even more so.

However, considering the veteran director's directing skills and the original factor, Simon still sent an invitation to Pollack.

"Simon, I can be the director of "Sugar-Coated Trap", but I have one condition," Sidney Pollack said simply and directly: "The casting of the film must be decided by me."

Redford and Streisand are both human beings. When Pollack mentioned this, they both found an excuse to walk away.

Simon's performance was equally refreshing, saying: "Of course, West Germany, but the male lead has been determined. Except for this, you can choose anyone else, as long as it is within the budget."

"I know Daenerys has approached Keanu Reeves," Sidney Pollack said. "But, Simon, I don't think Keanu is the right fit."

Simon raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why?"

"Keanu is more for comedy, but 'Sugar-Coated Trap' is a serious drama."

"Maybe you should see Keanu last year in 'Shocking Point'. West Germany, in this crime drama, Keanu played a policeman, and his performance has been widely recognized by the critics."

"Okay, Simon, let's be honest. I want Tom Cruise to be the lead actor in Sugarcoated Trap."

Simon narrowed his eyes slightly, and the figure of Michael Ovitz suddenly appeared in his mind.

Sidney Pollack was one of the first veteran filmmakers to join the talent agency in the process of C's fortune. In the 1980s, the two films "My Fair Lady" and "My Fair Lady" that brought Sidney Pollack's directorial career to its peak. Out of Africa" ​​is a packaged project of c.

For this reason, Sidney Pollack is Michael Ovitz's biggest supporter.

Sidney Pollack was one of the few in the media to publicly express his firm support for Ovitz during the 'Infantry Warrior' incident in which Michael Ovitz clashed with famed screenwriter Joe Ezette Haas two years ago One of the Hollywood filmmakers.

This time, Sidney Pollack apparently hopes to use the opportunity of "Sugar-Coated Trap" to free Tom Cruise under C's status from being blocked by Daenerys Entertainment.

Although C terminated the agency contract with several filmmakers at the beginning, in fact, probably out of compensation and other thoughts, Michael Ovitz has always maintained very close contact with several people, and Simon just turned a blind eye.

After "Rain Man", Tom Cruise's "Born on the Fourth of July" and "Thunderbolt" have achieved box office success in recent years. However, because of Daenerys Entertainment's influence in Hollywood The force is further strengthened, and the major studios inevitably have a little more scruples in the process of working with Barry Levinson, Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise.

Barry Levinson, which was supposed to be the 1992 Oscar-nominated hit "Bagashi," simply disappeared, and after Daenerys struck a deal with Paramount last year, the big studio, which had been closely associated with Cruise, also disappeared. Abandoning each other, which resulted in no movie release for Cruise in 1991.

In fact, Simon has not said anything about not letting other studios work with the trio, Dustin Hoffman also starred in "Captain Hawk" last year, Tom Cruise after leaving Paramount "Ambition in the Land," a collaboration with Columbia Pictures, will also be released this summer.

On the surface, the careers of these filmmakers are actually quite normal.

Last year, Dustin Hoffman participated in "Captain Hawk", and Peter Cooper also persuaded Terry Semel to come forward to talk about the project.

Simon was relieved at the time, but he did not change a fundamental attitude: Daenerys Entertainment would still not work with the three filmmakers.

Meg Ryan's "unblocking" also started with a film contract signed with Daenerys Entertainment, which is probably why Sidney Pollack made his request today.

Michael Ovitz should hope that Tom Cruise and Daenerys Entertainment will reach a cooperation in order to send a signal to the outside world that Cruise and Daenerys Entertainment have completely reconciled, and avoid the popular teenager because of the system. The studio's scruples led to a decline in his career.

Simon didn't show any displeasure at Sidney Pollack's straightforward request, just shook his head and said, "Sid, if you insist on this, I can only say sorry, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future. ."

Seeing Simon's statement, Sidney Pollack suddenly got a little angry and said, "Simon, it's been a long time since that, I don't understand why you are still holding on to it. You're already a big man, you shouldn't treat these things. It's all about the little things."

"West Germany, I have always believed that the notion that some people are 'big men' and should be generous and should be forgiven is a form of blackmail, a kind of blackmail by the weak against the strong. For those who I don't want to forgive, I am very I'm sorry, I don't forgive any of them. Also, I think I've been generous enough that I didn't directly target them, and they've actually been doing pretty well until now, haven't they? So don't ask me for more many."

After Simon finished speaking, without waiting for Sidney Pollack's response, he raised his glass to the other side and walked towards him.

Sarah Michelle Gellar has been with Simon, from the original Madonna, to Sidney Pollack, Barbra Streisand, Robert Redford and many others at the party. They are all big people who are just out of reach. After more than two hours of party time, the girl seems to have entered another world.

It's kind of incredible to think about.

Sarah's mother is an inexperienced young actress, because she has never been able to make a breakthrough, she can only pin her hopes on her daughter. From the age of four,

Girls are constantly participating in various auditions, and premature exposure to this Vanity Fair circle also makes Sarah appear more precocious than girls of the same age.

The role of Susan's daughter Julie in "Desperate Housewives" is the first significant TV series resident role Sarah has won in more than ten years. In addition, this project is said to have been created by Westeros herself. Both thought it would be a breakthrough for Sarah.

Then, this afternoon, there was a sudden news from the agency that the mother and daughter initially thought it was a joke, that Westeros wanted to meet Sarah.

After repeatedly confirming that it was not a joke, Sarah clearly felt the excitement of her mother's almost tears.

After Roselle Gellar and her daughter had a heart-to-heart talk, wma made another arrangement, and Sarah was sent to Simon this evening.

Simon left the party at Barbra Streisand's house near ten o'clock with Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Originally, I felt that "The Sugar Coated Trap" did not completely match the style of Sidney Pollack. In the original time and space, the reason why this project was directed by Sidney Pollack, in Simon's opinion, is obviously another one of C. Package the project.

Michael Ovitz often cites diversity as an excuse to let directors accustomed to one style direct areas that the other has never ventured into.

A lot of directors have their own style, so it seems a bit messy to Simon.

And, Michael Ovitz cobble together, often big-budget, big-budget movies, which inevitably results in some blockbuster failures.

Project packaging is still popular in Hollywood because it saves a lot of studio effort, but Daenerys Entertainment is a very strong exception.

Unless Simon deems it really appropriate, neither c, nor wma, nor icm can force an entire team's packaging project into the hands of Daenerys Entertainment.

Since Sidney Pollack failed to negotiate, Simon decided to choose another director.

Simon, who had been thinking about something on the way, didn't realize what happened to the girl next to him until he returned to the Dumay Cape Manor.

Although young, Sarah Michelle Gellar clearly knew what was about to happen. Not only did the girl show little stage fright, but she even clumsily tried to tease the man next to her.
