hunt hollywood

Of course, Demi Moore, who played the role of the big villain, was only paid $2003 million in 2's "Charlie's Angels 200" because of her bad character.

Now, under the strength of Daenerys Entertainment, other big studios are not easy to live, hot money is not stupid, the amount of money flowing into Hollywood has been greatly reduced, and some of it has been actively absorbed by Simon. The most direct result is that stars eat The chances of hot money bonuses are also greatly reduced.Another result is that the era of the 2000 million salary of Hollywood's first-line celebrities has not yet come. The current salary ceiling has been successfully stuck at the 1500 million ceiling by Simon.

The butterfly effect on a smaller scale is that Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's life is far from being as good as it used to be.

In any case, Demi Moore still got the role of Sony's "The Plague of Python" this time. Compared with Jennifer Lopez, who just crossed the circle not long ago, although Demi Moore's coffee position is higher after all, The film's budget is still only $4500 million, which is less than the blockbuster threshold of $5000 million.

As for the box office this time, according to the internal information given by Chris Lee, the effect of "The Calamity of Python" is not good, and the prospects are not too optimistic.

Then there is "As Good as It Gets" at the end of the year.

This is a drama film co-produced by the well-known Hollywood filmmaker James Brooks, who has produced blockbuster films such as "Mother and Daughter" and "Flying Over the Future", and the great actor Jack Nicholson, or it can be regarded as a romance film. In the history of the film, it can be regarded as a double harvest of box office awards. It not only made Jack Nicholson the Oscar king again, but also entered the annual box office list No.6.

The last "Starship Troopers", needless to say, was another disastrous box office failure compared to the cost of over [-] million.

Overall, "Walking with the Devil" has failed, and the next four will focus on "Absolute Power", "The Plague of Python", "As Good as It Gets" and "Starship Troopers". It is difficult to reverse the overall decline of Sony Pictures.

As long as there are no major accidents, Sony Pictures will still end in a loss in 1997.

After reading Sony's 1997 film list, Simon wrote "My Best Friend's Wedding" on the scratch paper at hand again, and then scratched it out.

This former top ten box office film was obviously a tailor-made project for Julia Roberts back then, so it is only natural that it was dropped by the butterfly.Now that I think about it, I will definitely make it, and it will be a billion-dollar film with little effort, so why not do it.

Immediately, Simon did not forget "Air Force One" and added another stroke.

It's also a top ten movie.

Even if the budget is a bit high and the price/performance ratio is relatively low, it will be fine for MGM or other studios in the future.

After finishing these, continue to read, and soon found that "Air Force One" is still on Sony's incubation list, but because the cooperation experience of "Walking with the Devil" starring Harrison Ford was very bad, Sony executives launched this project Now, "Walking with the Devil" has completely failed at the box office. If nothing else, at least Sony will definitely not make this film again.

When Simon saw this, he didn't need to do this again, and just annotated a sentence on the information.

Now that Chris Lee has given the vote, Simon will of course reciprocate.This project can be quietly suppressed by the other party, and it can be taken out after the Japanese get out, and it will also become a qualification.

Then, Simon soon saw another project, "Godzilla".

Sony is in contact with Japan's Toho for copyright, but no agreement has been reached yet.

Simon immediately listed it as a target of sniping.

Roland Emmerich's version of "Godzilla" in 1998, because Godzilla was made into a Tyrannosaurus rex, caused a bad review, but because of the reputation of this world-class IP, coupled with the shocking special effects after all However, the global box office of nearly 4 million US dollars is actually not considered a failure. Sony basically recovered its costs and achieved profitability.

This time, Roland Emmerich is still under Daenerys Entertainment. If Sony can negotiate the copyright, it may not be easy to do worse than Emmerich once did.

With Godzilla's global reputation, the box office is quite guaranteed, and it may explode if you don't pay attention.

Simon doesn't want to see any next blockbusters from Sony Pictures.

After thinking for a while, Simon turned to the computer on his desk and sent an email directly to Amy Pascal, asking her to try to contact the Japanese and cut off the project.

At the end of the document, Simon successfully found a big pit.

One of the projects Kevin Costner is lobbying for is called 2013 The Ultimate Oddity, a sci-fi adaptation of a sci-fi story about a post-apocalyptic wanderer who accidentally acquires a mailman's outfit in the aftermath of a nuclear war, so He started pretending to be a postman and wandered between various gathering places, and unexpectedly became the spiritual leader among the residents of the last days.

Obviously, Kevin Costner is not reconciled to the failure of "Future Water World".

However, because it was also a blockbuster that failed tragically, Simon also remembers it very clearly.

In the past, "2013 Ultimate God" was invested by Warner and released at the end of this year.Now, because everyone is not having a good time, Costner has not yet attracted investment, and Sony is only one of the negotiating partners. Moreover, based on the information given by Chris Lee, Sony is obviously not too cold.

The question now is how to make Sony catch a cold.

In fact, the method is also simple, as long as Daenerys Entertainment expresses interest, just like the "Bad Stuff" script that was just snatched away some time ago, this trick has been tried and tested in Hollywood.

Of course, avoid self-defeating.

Simon thought about it carefully, and in the end he didn't choose to repeat the old tricks, but planned to let Chris Lee operate by himself. Even if Sony's senior management was very stuck with the Sony Pictures team, it is impossible that there is no room for operation here.

As for how to do it?

Simon is confident in the ability of Hollywood natives to fool investors.

This is another test.

After roughly sorting out these, Simon quickly typed out a memo on the computer, transferred it to Girl A's mailbox, and asked her to send someone to print it out and forward it to Chris Lee.

Also reminded not to use e-mail.

After all, this kind of thing is not suitable to leave evidence after all.

After finishing this matter, Simon continued to be busy until the Boeing 767 landed at London Heathrow Airport. The local time was more than nine o'clock in the evening on April 4.

It was already late at night when I arrived at the mansion on Kensington Garden Street in downtown London.

Simon had just entered the door, but a small figure rushed over first, bent down with a smile and opened his arms to catch it. The five-year-old girl stuck to Simon's body with hands and feet like a little koala, and called "Dad" , and then put his little head on Simon's shoulder, and there was no movement in a blink of an eye.

Obviously fell asleep.

Yulia Shurshikina walked forward together with three women, Ivana Antonenko and Natalia Banshikova, and looked at the woman Nina being held in the arms of the man. In order to be considerate and pampered, Shurshikina couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart, but she stretched out her hand and said, "Sir, let me do it."

Simon shook his head: "No, where is the bedroom, I'll take the little guy up."

Having said that, Simon couldn't help but think of the six women who were pregnant at the same time.

It's been confirmed that they're all boys.

Six boys.

Simon was so stressed that he didn't even have a little padded jacket.

The one in my arms, although I don't see him much on weekdays, it can be regarded as giving Simon the feeling of a little padded jacket.

After hearing what Simon said, Shurshikina hurriedly led the way.Ivana Antonenko subconsciously wanted to keep up, but she still regretted that she didn't let her daughter Vera wait with her. If she could be loved so much by men, her status would be much higher.Instead, Natalia Banshikova did not follow along to join in the fun, but greeted Girl A and Carmen Kath and helped arrange the luggage and accommodation of Simon's entourage.

When they came to a bedroom upstairs, Simon was just about to put the sleeping little guy on the bed, but Nina woke up immediately and clung to Simon again to hug him.

Simon had to hold him for a while, until the little girl fell asleep again, tried again, and woke up again.

Shurshikina had no choice but to step forward and said softly, "Honey, Dad needs to rest too, and we can see you tomorrow too, don't pester anyone."

The little guy wrapped his hands and feet around Simon, and said, "Then, I will sleep with my father and mother."

Shurshikina blushed and immediately shook her head: "No."

"Why?"

"..."

Seeing that Shurshikina was speechless, Simon smiled and said, "Because Nina is already a big girl, of course she can't sleep with her parents."

Chapter 1123 Secret Meeting

Seeing the girl sleeping, Simon put down the children's book in his hand, got up and left the bedroom lightly, and Shurshikina and Antonenko, who had been guarding the side all the time, also followed.

After going out, Simon smiled and asked Ivana Antonenko, "How are Yulia and the others doing?"

This time Yulia is of course not Shursigkina next to her, but Ivana's younger sister Yulia Antonenko. Seeing the man talking to her, Ivana hurried closer and said: " Very well, sir, Yulia has missed you very much."

Simon was noncommittal about Ivana's imitation of Shursigina's address, and said with a smile: "Don't you miss me?"

Ivana showed an embarrassed expression, but quickly nodded slightly: "I think about it."

Shurshikina waited for the man to greet Ivana, and said softly: "Sir, do you want to rest, or have something to eat?"

"Prepare some food. Also, prepare the hot water over the underground swimming pool. I'll take a bath."

The three of them came to the stairs and turned downstairs. Shurshikina nodded and asked again, "What do you want to eat, sir?"

"It's up to you."

"Then, sir, take a rest first." Coming downstairs, Shursigina led Simon to a living room next to the hall, turned around and said to Ivana who was still by her side, "Eva, you go Prepare the bath water, I'll go to the kitchen."

Ivana heard Shurshikina's order and watched the man sit down on the sofa, hesitating for a while before turning around and going out.

Shulshikina lagged behind, but she was not in a hurry. She helped the man turn on the TV, took a bottle of soda from a corner of the refrigerator according to some information in her memory, and sent it to Simon, and finally called another woman. The waiter was here, and then turned to the kitchen.

After more than ten minutes, Shurshikina appeared again, with Ivana behind her, signaling to the man that supper and the swimming pool were ready.

Simon got up and left the living room, glanced at the two women by chance, and said with a smile: "Let Nata come over to accompany me, and if she hides deliberately, I will take her back to Ukraine."

"Ok."

Shurshikina agreed softly, but looked at Ivana. Ivana finally felt a little bit reluctant this time. The two followed the man and stalemate for a while. In the end, Ivana retreated and walked away on her own initiative. .

With the comfort of a private jet and a reasonable schedule, jet lag has never been a problem for Simon.

After supper, I took a comfortable hot bath, accompanied by three women to add another 'snack', and then I slept until dawn.

Early morning hours.

In a bedroom on the second floor of the mansion on Kensington Gardens Avenue, Shurshikina, who got up at five o'clock, was busy with housework and finally came to her daughter's bedroom in her spare time. She stayed up too late last night, and the little guy slept soundly , If it was any other time, Shurshikina would let her daughter sleep a little longer, but not today.

Feeling her mother calling her softly, the five-year-old girl opened her eyes, blinked her eyes, and finally remembered something, and sat up without the slightest intention of staying in bed, looking left and right with her little head: "Mom, where's Dad? "

"Dad is downstairs."

As Shurshikina said, she brought the girl's clothes to help her daughter put on, and said softly, "Baby, what should I say first when I see Dad later?"

"Good morning," the girl said while opening her arms and putting on her clothes, "Mom, you have said it many times, and Nina will never forget it."

"Then, what else?"

The little girl said: "You can act like a baby in front of Dad, but you have to be more sensible. If Dad has something to do, you can't pester others. Otherwise, Dad won't want Nina."

Shurshikina nodded, but continued, "What else?"

"Nina is a secret. Father's name must not be mentioned in front of outsiders, otherwise father will not want Nina."

"Awesome."

This has already happened so many times, quietly and subtly, helping her daughter get dressed, taking her to wash herself, and then came downstairs.

The time is past seven o'clock in the morning.

Under the signal of her mother, the girl came to the dining room, but found that Aunt Ivana had appeared here with Vera, sitting in front of her father and talking.

The little girl didn't have any scheming, she said good morning politely, and then rushed to Simon, who was quickly hugged on her lap, looked at Vera, who was more than three years old, in Aunt Ivana's arms, and said childishly: "Eva Auntie, Vera looks so sleepy."

Ivana Antonenko smiled unnaturally, and said, "That's right, but Vera has grown up too, so she must be like Nina and not sleep late."

Hearing this, the little girl nodded approvingly, and raised her face to look at Simon: "Papa definitely doesn't like children who sleep in. Nina never sleeps in."

Simon lowered his head and pressed his chin on the girl's head: "Nina is awesome."

Seeing the two interacting intimately, Ivana wanted to pinch the sleepy little girl in her arms. She managed to coax her up and hugged him in front of the man. Unexpectedly, she burst into tears because she saw a stranger.After finally coaxing her well, she still didn't dare to talk to the man next to her, like a little mute.

Not to mention calling a man...that.

Speaking of which, she didn't dare to teach without someone's permission.

So there it is.

Shurshikina looked softly at her daughter chatting with the man, and said after a while, "Okay, baby, it's time for breakfast, you can't lie in Dad's arms."

The little girl nodded obediently, thinking of her mother's daily teachings, but unlike her father who didn't want her and her mother, she obediently left Simon's arms and sat on the chair next to her.

Shulshikina was very satisfied with her daughter's reaction, and looked at Ivana on the other side of the table: "Eva, let Vera go to sleep for a while."

Ivana really wanted to say no, but she was stared at by Shursigina's seemingly plain eyes. She just persisted for a while, and then compromised again. She got up with the child in her arms, and finally wanted her daughter to say goodbye to the man. After teaching a few words, the girl didn't speak, and she looked like she was about to cry again, so she had to give up.

Simon seemed unaware of the little undercurrent between the women, and when Ivana left with the little girl in his arms, he casually said to Ivana, "In the future, I can often take Nina to North America."

The mother hadn't answered yet, but the little girl who realized it was excited and wanted to throw herself into Simon's arms again.

After all, as she grows up, the girl actually knows that Simon has lived in North America for a long time, but because of her mother's indoctrination, she also knows that his father is very busy at work, and, in order not to disturb his work, they can't visit him often, and can only wait for him come over.

Now that my father said so, I should be able to go there often in the future, right?

After a moment of reaction, the girl still looked at her mother again.

Shurshikina nodded slightly, and made another reminder: "Thank you, Dad."

"Thank you dad."

Shurshikina watched the girl throw herself into Simon's arms again, and the man didn't refuse. He also didn't do anything else, got up again and walked to the next kitchen, and soon served breakfast with Carmen Kath and girl A.

Today is Friday, June 4th.

For the next two consecutive days, Simon spent his time with a full work schedule.

Mainly the various industries of the Westeros system here.

Daenerys Entertainment UK Branch, Igret UK Branch, Westeros UK Branch, and even various private properties that are increasing in the UK.I even took the time to visit the ARM headquarters in Cambridge. This company has been fully owned by Tinkobel. The iPad 10, which will be released this fall, uses the latest processor architecture of ARM.
