In addition to film awards, Daenerys Entertainment's reality shows and TV series have also received a large number of nominations in various types of TV awards, and they all have very strong potential for winning.
Therefore, before the awards ceremony, Daenerys Entertainment has already prepared a grand celebration party at Daenerys Studios in Malibu.
Chapter 395 Don't Thank Westeros (Repair)
"This year's Golden Globes nominees for Best Actress in a Comedy Musical: Mia Farrow, 'Alice'; Julia Roberts, 'Pretty Woman'; Andie MacDowell, 'Green Card' "; Demi Moore, "The Ghost"; Meryl Streep, "Postcards from the Edge."
On stage in the Hilton Hotel Ballroom.
Morgan Freeman, winner of the last Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy, finished introducing the nomination list, tore open the envelope in his hand with a smile, glanced at it, and quickly said to the microphone: "The winner is, Julie A. Roberts, congratulations."
Warm applause rang out.
Tonight, Julia Roberts, who was wearing a white one-shoulder evening dress, got up from the round table where she was sitting with an expression of disbelief, and hugged several creators of "Pretty Woman" around her, holding her skirt and walking a little staggeringly on stage.
After receiving the trophy from Morgan Freeman, the big-mouthed beauty came to the microphone, still unable to restrain herself, and couldn't help covering her mouth.
The audience applauded again with dignity.
"It's unbelievable, it's like a dream," Julia Roberts, who is actually only 23 years old this year, finally spoke after a while, leaning towards the microphone and said, "First of all, I would like to thank Simon, without him there would be no future." Everything about me now..."
At a round table at the back of the banquet hall, Janet heard the speech of the big-mouthed beauty on the stage, raised a finger and waved in front of Simon's eyes, and said, "The sixth time, I was thinking, I just forgot to thank you Is your Michael Blake fidgeting now."
The awards ceremony has continued until now. Including the Best Actress in Musical Comedy category just won, Daenerys Entertainment has won 7 major awards, including 5 film awards and 2 TV awards.Seven awards speeches, six of which the winners thanked Simon, only "Dances with Wolves" screenwriter Michael Blake did not mention.
Simon reached out and wanted to pinch Janet's beautiful fingertips, but the woman avoided her and didn't chase after her, and said softly, "Too many times."
I remember that in the original time and space, some good people counted the Hollywood celebrities who received the most thanks at the Oscars ceremony. Steven Spielberg and Harvey Weinstein, who were among the top, only accumulated [-] or [-] times over the years.
Naturally, the Golden Globes cannot be compared with the Oscars. However, with the momentum tonight, Simon feels that it will not take many years for him to set a record for the number of times he is thanked at various award ceremonies.
Simon doesn't want to appear ubiquitous at all, he prefers to be 'behind the scenes'.
Janet knew her man's mind very well, and said, "You can explain to Deutschman after the party."
On the stage, Julia Roberts finished her speech, the host took the stage to warm up the scene for a while, and then began to present the best actor in a drama series.
Kevin Costner has already won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director this year. However, his performance in "Dances with Wolves" did not have many bright spots, and he lost out to the director in "Fate of Destiny" without any surprise. Jeremy Irons in Reversal has a superb performance.
Jeremy Irons is the actor who played Alfred the butler in the big version of Batman.
Not surprisingly, Jeremy Irons will next win this year's Oscar for Best Actor.This middle-aged male star from the UK in his early forties this year has excellent looks and acting skills, but unfortunately, his luck was not good. Since he entered Hollywood in the 80s, he has participated in several commercial films that have not been successful at the box office.
Hollywood is very superstitious.
After an actor fails several films at the box office in a row, it is often difficult to get high-quality projects from the studio.With fewer and fewer resources, it is becoming more and more difficult to stand up.
After best actor in a drama category, it was followed by the final best picture in a drama category.
"Dances with Wolves" successfully beat out "Goodfellas," "Crosspoints," "The Godfather 3" and "Reversal of Fortune" to win the best picture award in the drama category.
According to the statistics, of all the 13 film awards that received a lot of attention in this year's Golden Globe Awards, only the films produced by Daenerys Entertainment won 6, which are the best film in the drama category of "Dances with Wolves" , Best Director for Kevin Costner, Best Actress in a Drama Series for Susan Sarandon, Best Actress in a Musical Comedy for Julia Roberts, Best Screenplay for Dances with Wolves and Whoopi Goldberg for Best Supporting Actress.
Almost half of the award share can be described as the same.
Although it was Daenerys Entertainment's celebration party, after the awards ceremony, many stars were invited to Daenerys Studios in Malibu.
Daenerys Entertainment's post-Oscar party has been booked by Gucci, and this post-Golden Globe celebration party is held in the name of Igret.
The Westeros system's efforts in the Internet industry not only means the free trial of AOL and the generous content investment of Igret, but also means sparing no effort in advertising.
The Eaglet website has not only placed advertisements on TV networks and various paper media platforms, but now also has a spokesperson.Sandra Bullock, a star user of Igret's blog and a personal relationship with Simon, easily snatched the job, with a three-year endorsement period, unceremoniously taking $500 million a year.
After Simon and Janet left the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, they stopped by the mansion in Palisades to let Janet change a set of clothes before rushing to Daenerys Studios.
After delaying for some time, after taking a photo in front of the photo wall with the trademarks of Daenerys and Ygritte, they entered the party hall of the studio activity center, which was already overcrowded.
Probably specially arranged for someone to stare at them. As soon as the Simons entered the party hall, Kevin Costner came over to say hello with Michael Blake, the screenwriter of "Dances with Wolves".
Janet listened to Michael Blake expressing her joy of winning the award and her gratitude to Simon with some trepidation in her words, and inadvertently cast a look of "I guess I'm right" at her man.
Of course, Simon didn't care about the details that Michael Blake forgot to thank himself when he won the award. If he didn't even have this bit of guts, then his days would not be over, so he specially said a few words of comfort.
After Kevin Costner and Michael Blake left, Simon called for Ira Deutschmann, the director of High Gate Films: "Well, you say hello to the PR of the nominees. , the next Oscars, including future award ceremonies, don’t thank me any more.”
Ella Deutschman was puzzled: "Simon, what's the problem?"
Simon shook his head and said with a smile: "No, that's what I meant just now. I don't want the name of Simon Westeros to be everywhere in future awards ceremonies. It will make people feel as if I am manipulating the awards."
Ella Deutschman finally nodded and said, "I understand."
After explaining this matter, Simon changed the subject casually and asked, "So, how is the filming progress of "Farewell to the Piano"?"
The two chatted casually for a while, during which Janet saw Catherine and walked over to join the women.
After dismissing Ella Deutschman, the female assistant quietly appeared next to Simon, and accompanied him in the crowd for a while. Amy Pascal came over with another guest, but it was Steven Spier berg.
Simon smiled and greeted him, shook hands with Spielberg, and greeted, "Good evening, Steven."
Spielberg also smiled and shook hands with Simon, but there were some complex emotions in his expression.
This young man who has risen rapidly in Hollywood in just a few years is now his boss.Spielberg made his debut as a contracted director under Universal Pictures back then. After relying on "Jaws" to become famous in one fell swoop, the original long-term contract was replaced by several film contracts. Until now, he still owes three film contracts to Universal.
Because of the promotion that year, Spielberg and the two heads of MCA, Lou Vassalman and Sid Schinberg, have a very close relationship. Now that Daenerys Entertainment has acquired MCA, it is a certainty. Salman and Sid Simberg were kicked out of the MCA by Simon Westeros, which made Spielberg feel even more mixed.
However, the contract still has to be followed.
Amy Pascal has been discussing with Spielberg recently about his next directing feature, a sci-fi adaptation called Jurassic Park.If Spielberg is willing, the project can be placed under the name of Universal Pictures. Preparations will be made this year, and shooting will start early next year. The schedule is determined to be at the end of 1992.
Last year's blockbuster "Captain Hawk" co-operated with Columbia has been completed and is now entering the post-production stage.
Although the project was carefully held by Columbia, during the filming process, Spielberg had already faintly felt that this film was likely to be a disaster, a personal Waterloo, and he was exhausted physically and mentally for it.
Therefore, after receiving Daenerys Entertainment's proposal, Spielberg said he would consider it carefully even though he showed some instinctive resistance to Simon Westeros.After all, the box office of Daenerys Entertainment's projects has always been very guaranteed.
Amy Pascal also promised him that as long as he takes over "Jurassic Park", Daenerys Entertainment can support the filming of the film "Schindler's List" that reproduces the Holocaust during World War II. ".
Everyone chatted casually, and when Spielberg walked away, Simon asked Amy, "How did the talk go?"
"Steven agreed, but we still need to discuss the remuneration with Ovitz." Amy said, and said: "Steven's previous film contracts were all shared by all channels. Like Captain Hawk's 20% omni-channel profit share, Ovitz is still leaning towards this. I have reached out to Ovitz a few times, and he is a little loose on his side, agreeing to accept similar to John Hughes A box office sharing agreement, but for Steven's basic salary, Ovitz probably wants $1000 million."
Daenerys Entertainment signed two film contracts with John Hughes at the beginning. The salary plan was a basic salary of 500 million US dollars plus 10% of the local box office. Get the pay you deserve.
In the original time and space, the "Jurassic Park" contract signed by Spielberg was a basic salary plus 20% omni-channel share.
Because of the global success of "Jurassic Park", Spielberg took away $2.5 million from the first "Jurassic Park" alone.
After Panasonic acquired MCA, it obviously had super-best-selling works such as "Jurassic Park", but it still sold MCA to Seagram a few years later. Panasonic undertook it, but the movies made money, especially for projects like "Jurassic Park", most of the profits were taken away by Hollywood filmmakers, and Panasonic could only be taken advantage of in any way.
Simon once considered directing "Jurassic Park" himself. Now, he obviously doesn't have the time, so it seems appropriate to hand over the project to the original team.
Of course, this time the omni-channel sharing contract will definitely not be considered, but a basic salary plus box office sharing agreement similar to John Hughes is given.
If "Jurassic Park" can still get the super high box office in the original time and space, with the agreement given by Simon, Spielberg's personal income can still reach 5000 million US dollars, which is of course a sky-high price.However, Simon believes that it is worth the money. A director who can create a global box office of 10 billion US dollars is definitely worth the price.
In comparison, the $2.5 million in the original space-time exceeded Simon's tolerance limit.
Simon didn't express much opinion on the basic salary proposed by Ovitz, but just nodded, letting Amy continue to talk, and asked, "What about "Schindler's List"?"
"Steven has always been a bit apprehensive, he didn't know how to express some of the emotional twists in the film, but he appreciates your support for this film."
Amy said so, with a somewhat different meaning on her face.
The project "Schindler's List" has been circulating in Hollywood since the 80s, and it has been delayed for so many years. The original author of the film, Thomas Keneally, often called Spielberg, half-truthfully complaining about whether he could die before he died. He was old enough to see the project being brought to the big screen.
In the final analysis, "Schindler's List", in the eyes of many people, has no commercial potential at all, and is completely just a work that witnesses the history of the Jews.Although the Jews in Hollywood are united, they will not rashly invest in such a work that is destined to be unlikely to make money.
Amy is also Jewish.
In Amy's view, Simon proposed to support the "Schindler's List" project at this point in time when Daenerys Entertainment is about to annex MCA. The pressure of growing power on the Jewish community.
In fact, Simon did have such thoughts.
Because of the living environment in his previous life, Simon was not very sensitive to racial issues in his bones.
However, after several years of rebirth, he had to face up to this problem.
The Jewish power in Hollywood is really strong, or the Jewish power in the whole of the United States is very strong.
Moreover, it is impossible to change this.
Since World War II, the Jews have mobilized a large number of young people in their ethnic group to participate in that war. Up to now, the Jews also control powerful power in the US military system.If the United States were to experience anti-Semitism as it once was in Germany, the result would likely be a civil war.
Simon is not afraid of repelling Jews, and of course he doesn't want this to happen in reverse.
Therefore, after the acquisition of MCA, the casting of "Schindler's List" can be regarded as a way of taking advantage of the trend.Moreover, the "Schindler's List" in memory is actually very profitable.
Chapter 396
In the bathroom on a Sunday morning.
After washing up with a serious expression on her face, Janet came to the washstand solemnly, exhaled lightly, and folded her hands in front of her body to pray for a while before picking up the pregnancy test stick on the washstand.
"what……"
With a small scream of disappointment, Janet rushed out of the bathroom and hugged Simon, who had just put on a pair of trousers and was shirtless, and bit her.
Simon put his arms around the woman's waist, felt the two rows of small teeth constantly opening and closing on the shoulders, and comforted him: "After being busy with these things recently, I will accompany you to have a good rest for a while."
Janet tightened her bite slightly, continued to grind her teeth on the man's strong shoulder muscles, and murmured indistinctly: "I don't believe you."
Simon is also helpless.
After last year's wedding, the two have been working hard, and now a year has passed, but Janet's stomach has never moved. After several private checkups, the couple has no physical problems.
Janet's date of birth was March 1960, 3, and the woman's 13st birthday will be two months away, which also means that she will completely miss the best childbearing age for women.
Holding the woman closer to his arms again, Simon said softly: "In this case, let's rest today. This promise is easy to fulfill. Where do you want to go?"
Janet finally let go of her teeth, buried her face in the man's neck and said, "I don't want to go anywhere."
"Then at home," Simon said, reached out to hug the woman, leaned over and kissed her on the lips, and said, "Why don't we try again?"
Janet put her arms around Simon's neck, counted the time deftly in her heart, and hummed softly.
When the couple sat in the dining room for breakfast, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.
January is the coldest season in many parts of the northern hemisphere. The average temperature in Los Angeles, which is like spring all year round, is still above 10 degrees, and it is a sunny day as usual.
Now that he decided to take a break, Simon completely put aside all work-related matters, and he didn't even pay attention to the media reports of the Golden Globe Awards that will definitely appear today.
After moving into Cape Dume Manor, I haven’t had a closer look at this cliffside shell villa. Except for the original exterior design, most of the interior details of the villa were handled by Janet. Simon then spent a whole day with Janet. Go through the various rooms in the villa.
In a private library, I heard a woman talk about how she selected thousands of books on the shelves.
In the living room on the second floor, I heard a woman talk about how she saw a carpet in an auction.
In the kitchen on the first floor, I heard a woman say where all the tableware in the kitchen is custom-made.
In the underground wine cellar, I heard a woman tell me how she fought against Unilever, bought Chateau Latour at almost half the original price, and kept most of the red wine from the best years.
……
Listening, Simon suddenly remembered that it seemed a long time ago that a woman rented an empty house for herself, and then filled it up bit by bit.
Probably from that time on, Janet put herself into a certain role a little savagely.
Simon also feels more and more that although his wife is lazy most of the time, she will never do things that can be entrusted to others, but in fact, in the past few years, she has really paid for herself. a lot of.
Just one point, Simon has been buying real estate around the world, buying land in Tasmania, Australia, and even Westeros' non-stop foreign investment, if Janet hadn't been serious about Helping to keep an eye on and carefully manage every expense, Simon feels that his current financial situation will definitely be a mess.
After all, too many celebrities have gone bankrupt because of their extravagance and mismanagement of their assets.
Although Simon has always been concerned about his financial situation, his energy is limited after all. It is because of Janet's efforts that his personal property situation has always been in order.
So until the evening, I went around most of the rooms in the villa, and heard Janet talking about buying a piece of land in Tasmania recently. Construction continued in the depths of the Smanian jungle, and Simon suddenly wanted to look around.
I don't want to be those emperors in ancient times.
Fighting for a lifetime, conquered a huge territory, but did not have the opportunity to see the picturesque mountains and rivers, and instead guarded a small palace.
Then leave, go.
The first stop was Florida. The woman said that she had recently purchased a piece of land in Miami Beach and planned to build a manor from scratch.In the interim, Miami has another property belonging to Simon.
In this way, they flew around the mainland of the United States, and the two went to Europe, and then rushed to Australia a week later.
In the bushland of Tasmania's central west.
Time came to February unknowingly, and Simon and Janet appeared together on a construction site in the jungle.
