Before leaving for Melisandre's party, Lady A has already sorted out the list of awards for this year's Oscars.

Relying on all 29 nominations, Daenerys Entertainment has won a total of 10 golden statuettes at this Oscar. Among them, "Schindler's List" has 7 out of 12, "The Lion King" has 6 and 2, and the last one is "Schindler's List". The Best Foreign Language Film of The Wedding Banquet.

In addition to Daenerys Entertainment's direct distribution, related awards include best actor for "Philadelphia Story" creator Tom Hanks and best visual effects for last summer's "Superman".

Taken together, Daenerys Entertainment took half of the 24 Oscar non-honorary achievements directly related to movies this year. Among the four core awards of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress, there is only one best actress corner.

Arriving at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, the car was about to transfer directly into the hotel parking lot, but Simon noticed that there seemed to be some disturbance at the entrance of the hotel.

The driver was not allowed to stop until he entered the Melisandre party scene on the top floor of the hotel, and Simon asked Angela Ahrendts, who was approaching: "What's going on outside?"

Sofia Fessi didn't come to the United States this time, and this year's party was run by Angela Ahrendts, who had been promoted to Gucci ceo.

Hearing Simon's inquiry, Angela said: "Several media under the Hearst Group are not satisfied that we have suddenly cancelled their interview qualifications."

The media that follow Melisandre’s party can be roughly divided into three levels. The last time they can only take pictures of celebrities on the street outside the hotel, these are basically just tabloids that are not in the mainstream; the next level can enter the hotel and take pictures on the official photo wall. Before taking pictures and interacting with the stars, several important fashion media under Hearst Group were originally invited in this part; the highest level can interview the stars at the party scene, there are only two cooperative media in this part, West Lowe's Igret Portal and Condé Nast's Vanity Fair magazine.

The media invitation list was originally agreed many days in advance.

Simon suddenly issued an order to start a war with the Hearst Group in the morning. The high-level Hearst family must have received the news, but the media probably did not expect that they would be immediately turned away from Melisandre's party and suddenly reduced to the treatment of third-rate tabloids. , naturally dissatisfied with this.

Knowing the reason, Simon told Angela to go down and deal with it in person, and without spoiling everyone's interest, he brought Catherine to join the party crowd.

Most of the people who were able to get invitations to Melisandre's party were the top celebrities who have made a big splash in the entertainment and fashion circles in recent years, as well as a small number of celebrities from both political and business circles.

Girl a has made a list in advance, and personally led Simon to socialize in the crowd for more than half an hour. Everyone who should say hello has said hello.

In fact, many parties in the West are like this.

Make face-to-face meetings, get familiar with each other, and if you find an opportunity for cooperation during the chat, then proceed to the next step.

Simon is not a hospitable person in his bones, and he doesn't like to be in contact with people very much, but since he is in the current position, he must do what he needs to do.

It's okay to ignore whatever he wants, and no one can force him to do anything now.

It's just that if you really shut your eyes and listen, it will be very unfavorable for Simon to control the Westeros system, and even quite dangerous, and it is not impossible for him to become a puppet in the end. Howard Hughes's bleak evening scene was largely due to his isolated character state that led to his personal life being completely controlled by those around him.

Catherine has been patiently acting as a female companion next to Simon, listening to the little man and Spielberg's obvious estrangement but talking happily, listening to him eating a few Victoria's Secret Angel's little tofu in a skillful tone, listening to him. The backstreet boy group, who is about to release their first album this Friday, was graciously encouraged to hear him unceremoniously reject "Wonder Woman" actor Famke Janssen's bid for a pirate movie heroine request...

After so many years of acquaintance, it seems that the little man has never been able to do anything with ease except for that fight with someone and passed out in a hospital bed.

I really don't know how he grew into what he is today.

"Yes, Roland, I have seen your idea of ​​alien invasion of the earth. The name of "Solitary Day" is also very good, and it can be made into a blockbuster of more than 50 million US dollars. But it is a pity, You know, there's Jurassic Park 2 next summer, and Batman v Superman at the end of the year, so we'd better put this project in the summer of 1996."

Regarding the intersection of the DC movie universe, Simon chose Roland Emory, who is good at multi-line narrative, after deliberating among the three core DC directors, Jane Debont, Roland Emmerich and Martin Campbell. Qi will be the director of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", which will be released at the end of next year. If the effect is good enough, Emmerich will be in charge of the follow-up "Justice League".

Roland Emmerich is the writer and producer of "Stargate" with new director Michael Bay. Point is basically a summer season, and there are still three weeks of box office space to play before the supergiant "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" on June 3, which is better than the originally considered Easter schedule.

Emmerich came up with the idea of ​​"Solitary Day" during the production of "Stargate". Because the cooperation between the two parties has been very pleasant, Daenerys Entertainment directly bought the script outline as soon as it came out.

Emmerich also had no problem with Simon pushing the film back a year.

In the summer of next year, "Jurassic Park 2" has been locked in June, and there is also a big production "Apollo 13" in July. If another blockbuster is stuffed, it is likely to cause internal consumption.

Moreover, Roland Emmerich has another idea: "Simon, after the Super Bat War, I hope to direct this project myself."

Simon was a little surprised, and then nodded quickly: "No problem, this project is your idea."

Originally, Simon wanted Michael Bay to try the project. However, Simon also understood why Roland Emmerich suddenly made such a request.

On the one hand, Emmerich is probably trying to get rid of the shackles of the DC Cinematic Universe series, and on the other hand, he is probably a little wary of Michael Bay.

Because after Michael Bay completed "Stargate", he recently signed another super project, "Jurassic Park 2". So while Simon hasn't revealed his intention to direct Bey after Jurassic Park 2, Emmerich has guessed it himself based on a number of indications.

After Spielberg decided to withdraw from the "Jurassic Park" series, the sequel has been quietly brewing, not only the script, but the complete sub-shot script of the second part and the simple animation of many special effects shots have been completed, and the project can start shooting at any time.

Simon originally wanted Joe Johnston, the director of "Jurassic Park 3" in his memory, to direct the new sequel. Johnston is also a very old Hollywood filmmaker who served as the special effects supervisor of the "Star Wars" series. Very good at making special effects movies.

It's not just Jurassic Park 3, Jumanji, and Captain America that Simon remembers. Before that, Joe Johnston had directed Disney's smashing "Honey, I made my child small".

However, because Johnston was born in the family of George Lucas, and the friendship between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg is well known, after Daenerys Entertainment sent an invitation, Johnston chose reject.

Johnston was reluctant to join, and Simon also considered Martin Campbell, the director of the new Wonder Woman franchise.

Although "Wonder Woman" did not start a sequel immediately after the first part, but because of the success of "Wonder Woman" series, Martin Campbell has no shortage of projects. Last year's "Speed ​​of Life", because the original director Jane de Bont wanted to shoot the third Batman "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", Simon transferred the project to Martin Campbell.

Then, Campbell just recently signed a director contract for the project with Paramount Pictures, which had already won Cutthroat Island.

No longer the former husband and wife team of Renee Haring and Geena Davis, and with the participation of Paramount, one of the seven, it is difficult to say what the prospects of the new "Cutthroat Island" will be.

Simon didn't stop Campbell from taking over the project.

Anyway, the contract for the "Wonder Woman" series has been signed, and as long as Daenerys Entertainment needs it, the other party must complete it.

Moreover, after the continuous "Wonder Woman" and "Speed ​​of Life" which will be released this summer, if "Cutthroat Island" succeeds again, it will only be the icing on the cake for Martin Campbell. The director returned to work at Daenerys Entertainment with more 'safety'.

So, for "Jurassic Park 2", Simon finally decided to use Michael Bay after watching the "Stargate" film.

This decision seems quite risky to many.

Simon was not worried.

The biggest difficulty in the "Jurassic Park" series is the special effects. For the first two director choices, Simon also tends to have the control of directors who have experience in special effects movies.

For Daenerys Entertainment, though, that wasn't a problem.

Because the special effects team directly under Daenerys Entertainment is very familiar with this series, not to mention that the script, storyboard and animation effects of many sequel special effects shots have been completed, so it is only necessary to promote an outstanding person from Daenerys special effects. The special effects supervisor can cooperate with Michael Bay.

Moreover, the most fundamental reason is that Simon has enough confidence in Michael Bay's directing ability.

Explosion Bei, who once turned from the MV director to Hollywood, has never missed anything except for "Escape from the Clone Island", which failed with very complicated reasons.

For studios, the number of films available each year is limited.

For filmmakers, whether they are directors, actors or producers, Hollywood's film resources are also limited.

Roland Emmerich was obviously not complacent because of the success of last year's "Superman", felt the threat of Michael Bay, and instinctively began to fight for it.

To a large extent, the types of films that the two are good at are indeed not similar.

Promising Emmerich to personally direct "Day of Alone" will not affect the speed of the DC movie universe.

According to the dc movie universe plan, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will be released at the end of next year. This superhero masterpiece will bring the epic "Death of Superman" event of the dc series. This means that no sequel will be possible until Superman is resurrected in Justice League.

Simon also does not plan to start "Justice League" immediately, but plans to launch three films, "Wonder Woman 2", "The Flash 2" and "Suicide Squad 2" respectively, as a foreshadowing, although it seems to be a personal superhero series, but The three sequels will see a greater crossover of superhero characters, with Catwoman, Cyborg and even a series of villains from 'Suicide Squad' joining them.

, just like the second and third parts of Marvel's "Captain America".

As for "Cyberbones", although the first global box office was less than 600 million US dollars, setting the lowest box office of the DC Cinematic Universe series, Warner still hopes to start the sequel as soon as possible, but it was suppressed by Simon like the previous "Flash" series.

If you completely follow the thoughts of some high-level officials of Warners, the dc movie universe will not be enough for two a year, and other superheroes will join in.

Simon has always been very strong in this regard.

If Warners doesn't go according to their plan, then everyone will break up, and then Daenerys Entertainment can happily start the Marvel Cinematic Universe series. The copyrights of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman DC are all in the hands of Simon, not to mention Daenerys Entertainment and the super big spare tire of the Marvel series, Warner has basically never won any initiative.

Continuing to chat with Emmerich for a while, the two separated.

Hugh Grant, who became famous in Hollywood with "Four Weddings and a Funeral", brought his girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley here.

Simon smiled and shook hands with the two of them respectively, and then introduced Catherine beside him.

Catherine shook hands with the two of them politely, only to hear that Elizabeth Hurley, who had a young and delicate face on the opposite side, was more eager than her boyfriend to invite Simon to sit on the terrace outside the bar for a while, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Really!

This is the first few goblins tonight.

What was even more irritating was that the little man even agreed.

He really wanted to find a reason to walk away, but just now he actually said that if he didn't like socializing, he could chat with acquaintances like Li An for a while, but she never did.

Now.

Forget it, walking away now might make him lose face with this obvious taste reaction.

What's more, subconsciously, she would never admit it, and she didn't want these fairies to succeed at the party.

The four of them came to the terrace outside the bar on the top floor of the Sunset Tower Hotel. There were also guests in twos and threes. There was no space. When Simon appeared, everyone stood up to say hello.

Simon chatted with everyone patiently for a while, and then chose a sofa near the railing that several guests had given up to sit down. The tables and chairs were arranged in a rectangular shape with the word 'hui', with a long table in the middle and a pair of them facing the railing. A four-seater sofa with single sofas on both sides.

When sitting down, Simon took the initiative to choose the armrest position, and Catherine sat next to him.

In addition, the seats are full of young and new generation movies such as Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, River Phoenix, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, and David Fincher. people.

Elizabeth Hurley, who offered to come over to the terrace, was not forgotten, but sat down next to Catherine, with Hugh Grant on the other side. Looking at the people around her, Elizabeth Hurley, who had been expecting to get in touch with Westeros, realized that the outcome must be the same as the party at the Sundance Film Festival at the end of the same month.

Simon took the initiative to ask after sitting down, "What are you talking about?"

Sandra sat directly opposite Simon and heard the words: "Moore was just talking about the supernatural incident she encountered during the filming of The Conjuring."

Having said that, Sandra also looked at Simon jokingly.

It is rumored that Simon Westeros is a psychic. This matter is very marketable in Hollywood. Even Sandra privately asked Simon whether he could see ghosts. Of course, the answer given by Simon was yes. Otherwise, how could he be so talented, Sandra's response was a blank eye.

After securing the copyright of the supernatural investigators Warren and his wife last year, the "Conjuring" universe project quietly started.

Simon originally planned to use "The Haunting of the Mortuary", a series that can only be regarded as a derivative, as the first part. Since the copyright has been successfully obtained, it will start with "The Conjuring". The film has been completed at this time and is scheduled to be released on June 17. : The Dark Knight Rises two weeks later. Another spin-off series, "The Haunting of the Mortuary", is scheduled to be released on October 28 as the main feature of this year's Halloween.

Among them, the Warren couple in the main line "The Conjuring" series, Simon personally decided to determine Matthew Modine and Julian Moore.

Julian Moore needless to say.

Matthew Modine, 35, has been tepid in Hollywood before, and many times he can only be regarded as an actor who is familiar to the audience but cannot be named. However, the actor was actually just 22 years old in 1983, relying on a Vietnam War movie "Northern Lights" to get the Venice actor, the situation is very similar to Valerie Golino who played Catwoman.

It is worth mentioning that once in history, Matthew Modine was also the male protagonist of "Cutthroat Island".

It's a pity that the male star has been working hard for more than ten years since he became the best actor in Venice and finally got a super blockbuster male lead. No one expected that the film would fail so tragically, so that he could play one or two occasionally. The second protagonist, Matthew Modine, fell completely after "Cutthroat Island" and did not encounter any chance to turn over.

Matthew Modine and Julian Moore have both signed five-part deals for the series.

Now, with the leading actor in the "The Conjuring" series, he must miss "Cut Throat Island" again, and Matthew Modine's situation has completely changed. The same is true for Julian Moore, who was a late bloomer at the age of 33. One is a former Venetian actor, and the other has been honed on Broadway for many years.

Although it is difficult for a horror movie to make the starring a big hit, it is also very easy to transform after starring in a horror movie.

two people

I sat here just now, just to make room for Simon and the others to get up and go elsewhere.

Chatting and laughing and chatting a few supernatural events on the set of "The Conjuring", Simon did not shy away from his psychic stalks. He also made a cameo appearance as a fortune-teller, and pretended to give Sandra a calculation, and got the result that Sandra was there. The next month will inevitably encounter a 'blood disaster'.

Everyone didn't understand this relatively obscure dirty joke for a while, until Elizabeth Hurley next to Catherine burst out laughing, everyone had an epiphany, and Sandra jumped over and pinched Simon hard.

After a moment of playfulness, Simon turned to David Fincher to ask about the director's next directorial plans, the director of last year's "Seven Deadly Sins" hit.

Last year's Halloween season "Seven Deadly Sins", relying on the quality of the film itself and the strong distribution of Daenerys Entertainment's new Internet channel, finally reached a cumulative North American box office of 135 million US dollars. The overseas distribution of the film is still going on, but it has recently reached 193 million US dollars, and some subsequent overseas ticket warehouses will probably be able to gain 30 million to 50 million US dollars at the box office.

It is expected that the overseas release will be completed, and the global box office of "Seven Deadly Sins" will reach about 370 million US dollars.

With a production budget of $30 million and a global box office of $370 million, this alone propelled David Fincher to the ranks of Hollywood's first-tier directors.

David Fincher has never been a prolific director, though.

After "The Seven Deadly Sins", the rising star in Hollywood has not yet decided on his next movie plan. Daenerys Entertainment also recommended several scripts, but Finch did not like them.

David Fincher listened to Simon and said: "I recently received a very good script, the idea came from a group decryption game in the 1980s, about a billionaire who lost interest in life because of the ups and downs. I got an invitation to a decryption game, and my life has fallen into formality and illusion, and I can't extricate myself..."

Finch explained the plot of the story in general, and Simon remembered that this was another work of the other party, "Mind Game". The film starred the veteran Hollywood actor Michael Douglas. The production budget reached 50 million US dollars, but the box office was not very successful.

Many Hollywood scripts are often written for many years. Simon once paid great attention to this problem. The script he initially chose was only taken out when it was determined that there would be no crash based on the information in his memory.

Mind Games is clearly yet another script that has been in the works for many years.

It's not surprising that it fell into Finch's hands like the original time and space, because this also involves a very small side of Hollywood. Many filmmakers often have their own fixed circles. In this circle, there will be no intersection, forever. There will be no intersection, and if you can meet, even if you encounter Simon, the super-big butterfly, you will still meet.

David Fincher is another on Daenerys Entertainment's reserved list.

Even if "Mind Game" doesn't fare as well as expected, the director is definitely worthy of a long-term partnership. Therefore, if the other party insists on shooting, Simon will also agree.

After Finch finished his introduction, Simon said that he could send the script to him to see.

Party time flies by with non-stop entertainment.

Near eleven o'clock, for many night owls, the nightlife in the City of Angels has just begun, but Simon plans to leave.

still have to work tomorrow.

Catherine left the party with Simon, and after getting in the car, she asked Simon to take her home as if nothing had happened.

Simon also casually instructed the driver to go directly to Dumay Cape Manor.

The woman stared at each other.

Simon coaxed the little girl and said that he had just raised a group of beautiful goldfish at home, and he could take Catherine back to see it together.

Catherine reluctantly agreed.

Of course, there are definitely no goldfish, and there are also in the sea under the cliffs of Cape Dumei. Since he was tricked back home, it was useless to be angry, and no one would pay attention to shouting.
