Simon's last song for Madonna, "bad romance," helped Queen McQueen create yet another album that sold over 10 million in North America.

So Madonna will try to ask Simon for songs whenever she gets the chance.

As one of the top singers of this era, after listening to "paradise", Queen Mai immediately realized the gold content of this song. Although it doesn't suit her style, it is enough for any singer to make a hot-selling album.

Then she learned that several theme songs of this Victoria's Secret show will be written by Simon himself, and Madonna immediately pestered the man to listen to several other songs.

Simon had no choice but to make Queen Mai do what she wanted.

Of course, although there are also songs that are more suitable for Madonna style, Simon still insists that the fat and water will not flow to outsiders.

As rehearsals for the Victoria's Secret show continued, news about several songs inevitably appeared in the media.

Daenerys Entertainment is just noncommittal about this. This Victoria's Secret show, which will last for a few months, will continue to have all kinds of revelations, who has joined the Victoria's Secret Angel team, and who has become the spokesperson of the Victoria's Secret Angel. , the release of angel wings, the background music information of the runway, the guests who may be invited, the tickets for the Victoria's Secret show and so on.

Through a series of continuous exposures that lasted for half a year, before the official opening of the show, Victoria's Secret's brand awareness will be improved to a higher level.

This is also the fundamental purpose of this marketing operation.

July 31, the last day of July, another Friday.

The summer season is also coming to an end. There are a total of two movies that have entered the North American theaters on this day. They are "Fantasy Space", a combination of live action and animation produced by Paramount Pictures, and Fox's vampire horror film "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". ".

Paramount's "Fantasy Space" tells a series of ironic stories of the male protagonist in order to prevent the fusion of the real world and the cartoon world. The film is obviously following the original "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".

Simon is more concerned about Fox's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

This vampire film written by Joss Whedon is the origin of the later TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". Joss Whedon is also one of the important directors of the original timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, directing two "Avengers".

Although he paid attention to Whedon, Simon only regarded the other party as a potential reserve talent of Daenerys Entertainment for the time being.

Entering August, the summer season has basically settled.

"Wonder Woman" is undoubtedly the well-deserved overlord of this summer season.

As of July 30, the ninth week of its release, "Wonder Woman" continued to make 11.53 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office reached 333.69 million US dollars.

Taking into account the decline curve of "Wonder Woman" in recent weeks and the box office base that still reaches tens of millions in a single week, this superhero movie can make at least about 30 million US dollars in the follow-up, and the cumulative box office in North America is expected to be between 360 million and 100 million US dollars. between $370 million.

"Wonder Woman" is followed by "Lethal Weapon 3" starring Mel Gibson. The North American box office has exceeded 140 million US dollars, and it is also close to the next stage.

Later, Disney's "Aladdin" gradually attracted the attention of the industry.

This 2D animated film didn't start out well, but it has a lot of stamina and a very strong box office curve.

From June 19th to July 30th, within six weeks of its release, the cumulative box office of "Aladdin" has reached 128 million US dollars. The box office performance of the file is also second only to "Lethal Weapon 3".

Disney's other live-action comedy, "Nuns Are Crazy," became the studio's second $100-million-grossing film of the summer.

After careful calculation, in addition to Daenerys Entertainment, Disney, which has two domestic box office films exceeding 100 million yuan, is also a bumper harvest this summer.

Daenerys Entertainment's "Peachy Deal", "Killing Hour" and "The Last of the Mohicans" also sold well, but in all fairness, the box office of the three films, all of which were about 100 million yuan, was somewhat lower than Simon's expectations. Moreover, the box office performance of the three films is largely due to the fact that they occupy too many summer resources.

Of course, for several collaborators, all three films were enough to sell.

In the early 1990s and now, it is not so common for a North American box office to reach the 100 million yuan mark.

This summer, apart from the three cooperative films that have not yet achieved their goals, there are only four films of "Wonder Woman", "Lethal Weapon 3", "Aladdin" and "Nuns Are Crazy" that have really achieved over 100 million yuan.

Others such as Columbia Pictures' "Ambition", Fox's "Alien 3", Paramount's "Patriot Game" and Disney's "Honey I Grow Up", etc., do not count the production cost Low, but it can only be regarded as a foil for other blockbuster films.

In August, Simon went to Australia again.

Another superhero movie under the DC Cinematic Universe, Cyborg, started filming on August 3.

The schedule for "Steel Bone" is at the end of next year. It stands to reason that there is no need to be so urgent, but Warners insisted on starting shooting at this time, so that enough time can be reserved for the later stage and publicity of the film.

On the other hand, Simon also understands Warner's considerations.

"Superman" is still in production, and the shooting schedule of "Cyborg" is the same as that of "Superman"

Superman has a two-month crossover. Simon rushed to Australia during this time to follow up with Superman, and it is definitely impossible to turn a blind eye to Cyborg.

At this point, Warner has calculated Simon's integrity.

A week into Australia, Simon's time was basically half and half between Superman and Cyborg.

Janet came along as usual, visiting the little guy, and watching her man by the way.

Returning to Los Angeles on August 10th, the last three-day box office of the summer worthy of Simon's attention, "Unforgiven", has also been released.

Clint Eastwood's old-school western surprised Warner Bros. with $15.01 million over three days in its opening weekend, more than the film's $14 million production cost.

Moreover, considering the film's excellent reputation and the lack of fierce competition in the late summer, "Unforgiven" will easily have a beautiful long-term box office.

In memory, "Unforgiven" is still the biggest winner of next year's Oscar, winning many awards such as best picture and best director.

Of course, this year has already given the Oscar to Warner Bros. Daenerys Entertainment will not continue to dormant next year.

Barbra Streisand's reliance on "The Storm" to win the award in the controversy also consumed part of Warner's luck in the award. The Oscar judges will obviously avoid Warner's works in the voting process this year.

All in all, there are gains and losses.

Back in Los Angeles, David Fincher also handed over the budget for The Seven Deadly Sins to Simon.

As a director who has only just completed a film work under many restrictions, Simon is very clear that this plan with a list of recommended starring actors should be planned by Finch's behind-the-scenes agency, but he has not gone into it.

David Fincher's budget for "The Seven Deadly Sins" eventually reached $30 million, which Simon is sure to mean by Fincher himself.

If it was the icm behind Finch, it would definitely tend to keep the production budget of such a crime thriller at around $20 million.

30 million has reached the level of A-level production.

Given the usual box-office size of the crime thriller genre, the average studio doesn't tend to take such a risk.

River Phoenix, this name may be unfamiliar to Hollywood fans after many years, but in the early 1990s, it was a very noticeable new star in Hollywood.

When he participated in "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" a few years ago, because he was worried about being stole the limelight by the young actor, Harrison Ford used all parties to put pressure on him, not allowed to imitate his performance, not allowed to openly discuss the inside story of the movie, and even During the promotion of Raiders of the Lost Ark 3, River Phoenix made very few appearances.

None of this, however, could dampen the brilliance of the 19-year-old who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Although River Phoenix, who was born in 1970, is only 22 years old, he has already appeared in a large number of movies that have been well-received or well-received since his debut. Simon even knows that if the time line does not change, this rising Hollywood star will become a star in the future. Will suddenly fall in 1993.

The reason seems somewhat common in Hollywood, drug overdose.

In addition to Simon's internal Morgan Freeman, the other actor candidate for "The Seven Deadly Sins" recommended by David Fincher is River Phoenix.

Of course, it is not only the fame of River Phoenix himself, but River Phoenix, who is also an artist under icm.

In the original timeline, River Phoenix died outside Johnny Depp's club. It's not accidental, because Depp is also an artist under icm, which is a circle.

In addition, River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves also became good friends after starring together last year in Gus Van Sant's "The Uninhibited Sky."

Hollywood is small.

Since the original Brad Pitt is not going to be used, River Phoenix is ​​just right.

22 years old, just the age that a young police officer should have, and in terms of fame, River Phoenix is ​​also just right.

In addition, the price given by icm is also very reasonable, 2.5 million US dollars. According to the current popularity of River Phoenix, this price is relatively low for mainstream commercial films.

icm obviously hopes that River Phoenix can have a starring-level blockbuster movie, not just a supporting role such as "Indiana Jones 3" or a niche word-of-mouth movie such as "The Uninhibited Sky", or "Walk With Me" Group play like that.

It just so happens that projects directed by Simon himself are often very guaranteed at the box office.

After crossing a certain threshold and getting older, River Phoenix will be able to support commercial films by himself.

Simon has paid little attention to the private lives of Hollywood stars in the past, but this time, since he agreed to the role of River Phoenix in "The Seven Deadly Sins", he must ensure that the young actor will not go wrong, at least, during the filming process. .

As long as the movie is over, it doesn't matter what happens after that.

Everyone needs to take responsibility for their actions.

Therefore, after roughly negotiating the basic agreement, Simon himself proposed that during the filming process, River Phoenix must abstain from all drugs, and Daenerys Entertainment will conduct random checks on Phoenix on a regular basis. If he breaches the contract, the young actor will need to pay Huge foil.

Hollywood stars, sometimes during filming, directly in drug rehab centers and films

There are not a few people going back and forth between the fields.

As long as the big names are big enough, studios tend to be very accommodating.

However, River Phoenix's qualifications obviously haven't reached this level.

What's more, it was Simon who spoke in person, so icm couldn't help but ignore it.

Of course, River Phoenix can also choose to quit, but because he can't get rid of drugs and refuse a project with great potential, this kind of thing spreads out, and this young actor will not want to get a good project easily in the future. Don't even think about any of the films under Daenerys Entertainment.

Therefore, the president of icm personally assured Simon that during the filming of the film, a special person would be sent to look at River Phoenix to ensure that the artist would have no problems during the filming of "Seven Deadly Sins".

Daenerys Studios.

Today is Wednesday, August 19th.

After finishing the production meeting of "Seven Deadly Sins", I heard the producer of "Forrest Gump" report the casting results of the film in recent days, and it was past six o'clock in the afternoon.

Tom Hanks is still filming "Sleepless in Seattle," but preparations for "Forrest Gump" continue.

As a big-budget movie with many characters, the issue of casting is very important.

Simon only personally designated the role of Jenny in it, which is still the original Robin Wright.

Robin Wright is already a part of the DC Cinematic Universe.

Although she is the girlfriend of the Flash Barry Allen, her role in "Forrest Gump" is not too much, and she is not obtrusive.

Simon did this mainly for the sake of reduction.

It was six o'clock when I got home from get off work.

Janet had just returned from the east coast in the afternoon, and Simon had returned to the Dumay Cape Manor. The woman had just arranged dinner and was huddled on the sofa beside the glass curtain wall of the Shell Villa while the setting sun was showing and she casually flipped through a magazine.

Passing the coat to the Indian girl who came over, Simon walked to Janet's side, hugged the woman and kissed, and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"

"Forbes."

Janet casually showed the magazine to Simon, slammed her body on the man, and said: "Yesterday in New York, Steve Forbes called me, hoping we can provide some information. Forbes next month Release the new year's 400 richest people in the United States."

Simon asked, "How did you respond to him?"

Janet smiled and said, "Of course I ignored him."

Simon smiled and suddenly thought of a question.

Another year has passed, and the expansion of the Westeros system is too fast. He really doesn't know how much money he has.
