Simon nodded, and said again: "It's okay to go there in half an hour," he said, patting Janet in his arms, "Are you going?"

"No," Janet shook her head, and said, "I'm going to do maintenance later, and then go to bed early. So, you don't have to come back tonight." After speaking, she got up from Simon's arms and said, "I'll go and see Nick and Seale."

After Janet left, the female assistant came over, smiled and raised her arms and put them on Simon's shoulders, one leg was raised on his knees, she leaned over and kissed the man, and said: "Tonight, the child has Jenny They watched, I live in the villa on the west side."

Simon nodded: "Yes."

The man pretended to be stupid, and the female assistant showed threatening eyes in dissatisfaction: "You must come back, you have been out for a week."

Simon put his arms around the female assistant's waist, held her in his arms, and said with a smile, "This week isn't over yet, is it?"

Feeling Simon's joking tone, the female assistant stopped saying anything, and leaned over to stick a note on his cheek, and said softly, "I'll go and prepare some clothes for you first."

Simon let go of his hand and said, "How about you go with me?"

The female assistant didn't get up in a hurry: "Aren't you afraid that I'll keep an eye on you?"

Simon shook his head: "Not afraid."

The female assistant kissed the man on the cheek again, and said, "I'm afraid if you're not afraid, it's messy enough, I don't want any trouble."

Daenerys Entertainment won the Golden Globes this time.

"Schindler's List" was nominated three times out of six, and won three awards for best film, best director and best screenplay in the drama category.

"The Lion King" was nominated for three out of four, and won three awards for best film in the musical comedy category, best original song and best soundtrack.

Tina Turner's music biopic "What To Do With Love" released by Gaomen Films in the summer vacation won the Best Actress in Musical Comedy category.

In terms of Best Foreign Language Film, Daenerys Entertainment was shortlisted for two films, namely "The Wedding Banquet", which won the Golden Bear Award in Berlin last year, and "Farewell My Concubine", winner of the Palme d'Or in Cannes.

Historically, the winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film this time was "Farewell My Concubine".This time, Simon is more interested in "The Wedding Banquet" and the film director Ang Lee's development potential in Hollywood. The other's second film "Eating and Drinking Men and Women" is still produced by Gaomen Films, so the focus of research is on "The Wedding Banquet". The film also won an award.

MGM, which also belongs to the Westeros system, also won the best actor award this time with "Philadelphia Story". This is Tom Hanks' second Golden Globe Award for best actor This month's Oscar race has laid a good first stop.

On TV, Daenerys Television's "Desperate Housewives" and "Seinfeld" also did well.

In recent years, reality TV shows have become more and more prosperous. Daenerys Entertainment secretly promoted the Golden Globe Awards to establish related awards, but unfortunately it was not successful, but the Emmy Awards have already set up awards specifically for reality show types.

Daenerys Entertainment's strength in Hollywood at this time is impossible to hide even if they want to, so they no longer hide it.

After all, the quality of the films produced is unquestionable. Whether it is "Schindler's List" or "The Lion King", it is well deserved to win the Golden Globe Award for best film in both genres.

The after party for Daenerys Entertainment was held at the Century City Hotel, not far from the Beverly Hilton, where the Golden Globes are held.

When Simon arrived, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and the party scene was still very lively.

Not only the main creators of the award-winning films, but also many stars who participated in the awards ceremony tonight also rushed over.

Simon raised his wine glass to congratulate Spielberg, John Lasseter, Tom Hanks and others. After socializing among the crowd for half an hour, Amy Pascal came over.

"Steven's agent talked to me this afternoon," Amy and Simon chose a booth on the edge of the hall to sit down, and said, "Steven recently decided to take a year off to be with his wife and children us."

After a year of delay, Spielberg probably fully understood that Daenerys Entertainment did not want him to continue directing the "Jurassic Park" series, so he found a way for himself and chose to withdraw voluntarily.

This is actually good for both parties.

Simon nodded and asked, "When will the news be announced?"

"At least after the Oscars," Amy said. "In addition, Steven also said that he won't be named in the sequel of "Jurassic Park."

In the original time and space, until the restart of "Jurassic World" many years later, Spielberg still had the title of executive producer. In fact, many blockbuster films in Hollywood, such as the "Men in Black" series and the "Transformers" series, Spielberg Spielberg has some involvement and is named executive producer.

This actually shows Spielberg's lofty status in Hollywood.

Of course, many things have changed in this time and space.

Spielberg refused to be named in the sequel of "Jurassic Park". Obviously, he still has grievances against Daenerys Entertainment. Everyone knows that this filmmaker actually holds a grudge. It is estimated that the last film left over from the Universal era The date is nowhere in sight.

Simon did not intend to change the established development strategy of Daenerys Entertainment in order to accommodate a certain filmmaker.

It does more harm than good.

Just like Sony in the original time and space kept accommodating the bad boy gang, not only gave high salary, but also became a foil for earning hard money, and even caused a tragedy like the Sony hacking incident because of a spoof movie that assassinated the head of state of another country .Paramount's constant accommodation of Michael Bay is also the main reason for the complete collapse of the "Transformers" series.

Disney, the best developed in memory, has no such ills.

Thinking that George Lucas was outdated, he was completely kicked out of the "Star Wars" series. He felt that Joss Whedon had too many ideas, and he was directly expelled after two consecutive blockbuster "Avengers".This kind of decision-making boldness is difficult for other studios to achieve, and it has also contributed to Disney's prosperity to a large extent.

The creativity of filmmakers is precious, but countless facts have proved that excessive laissez-faire can only lead to disastrous results.

Therefore, for Daenerys Entertainment, Simon has always adhered to a strong and dominant management attitude. Although he will not be too harsh on the creation of filmmakers, he will never always accommodate the other filmmaker just because of his outstanding achievements. .

Chapter 591 Collection Obsession (Revised)

In any case, Steven Spielberg's complete withdrawal from the "Jurassic Park" series will inevitably be subject to various interpretations and speculations from the media. I told Amy to pay attention to media and public relations matters. The crowd came, and Simon took the initiative to get up and greet him.

Robert Redford is tonight's Golden Globes presenter for best picture in the musical comedy category.

Hollywood stars, if they appear at the major film award ceremonies that year, either they have nominated films under their name, or there are new films released that year to increase exposure for publicity, so not every time everyone competes to attend these awards ceremonies .

Redford is the latter case.

This is also to talk about the "Lies Behind the Scenes" directed by Redford himself last year. At that time, Simon made a random move and induced Disney to snatch the project.Originally thought that it could consume part of Disney’s high-quality schedule at the end of last year, but the effect of the film was really poor. Although it cost 4000 million US dollars, Disney still decisively gave up last year’s end-of-year schedule, and even once wanted to throw it into this year’s January-February schedule In the cemetery.

As a director, Redford naturally disagreed.

Movie schedule has always been an important factor affecting the box office.If "Lies Behind the Scenes" is released in January and February, the box office of the underrated film will be even more dismal, which will inevitably become a stain on Redford's career.

After many negotiations between the two parties, Disney reluctantly made some concessions. The schedule at the end of last year was still out of play, but it also adjusted the schedule to a slightly better Easter this year. The release of the film has created some heat, and it will definitely participate in the Oscars in March.

Even if "The Lie Behind the Scenes" was not launched, Disney's 1993 year-end schedule just passed was bleak. The North American box office of "The Nun Crazy 2" with high hopes was only 2656 million US dollars as of last week, and it is expected to barely break through before the next release. Compared with the total investment of 3000 million US dollars in the production and publicity of the film, it is difficult to recover the full cost of this project even if it is operated through overseas distribution and other channels in the later stage.

Speaking of which, because of the strength of Daenerys Entertainment, the past year has not been easy for other Hollywood studios.

Amy stood up with Simon, greeted Redford and walked away.

Simon and Redford sat down at the booth just now.

This year's Sundance Film Festival happens to be the 10th, a very memorable year, and the film festival only opened on January 1, a little later than in previous years. The closing date is January 20 and lasts for 1 days.

They once became friends because of "Run Lola Run" participating in the film festival, and the topic of the two naturally started from Sundance.

Faced with Radford's invitation, Simon readily agreed to attend the closing ceremony of Sundance next Sunday.

The two discussed several outstanding films at this year's Sundance, and Redford talked about "Behind the Scenes Lies". He regretted not choosing to cooperate with Daenerys Entertainment at the beginning. His energy for the past year All involved in this film that may have been doomed to fail, and has not yet started looking for other projects.

Simon knew what Radford meant, and he took the initiative to express that he would pay attention to the projects suitable for the other party.In fact, this is also the purpose of Radford coming to this after-party. Although he is kind to Simon, he can't meet this young man who is becoming more and more shining at any time.

The two chatted enthusiastically for about ten minutes, and Radford also knew that many people at the party wanted to meet Simon, so he got up and said goodbye to Simon when he saw the time, and planned to leave the party.

Simon personally sent Redford to the entrance of the party hall, separated from Redford, and just turned around, Nancy Josephson, the daughter of ICM founder Marvin Josephson, walked over with another tall girl, but It's Natasha Henstridge.

Coming closer, Nancy Josephson smiled and reached out to Simon and said, "Simon, are you leaving?"

Simon shook hands with the other party, nodded and said, "Almost, it's very late."

Nancy Josephson withdrew her hand and motioned to the girl beside her: "Actually, Natasha wants to say hello to you."

If he hadn't seen Natasha Henstridge, Simon would have almost forgotten that he had received a beautiful vase at the end of last year.

Recently, "Alien" has started shooting, because it is an MGM project, and it is not a major project. Simon did not pay much attention to it, but spent some time last year finalizing the basic "original team", which can be regarded as a guarantee for the film's box office.

Taking a look at the tall girl wearing a black deep V dress with a graceful figure tonight, Simon smiled and pointed to the booth where he had just chatted with Redford and the others at the edge of the hall: "Let's go over there to chat."

Nancy Josephson naturally agreed.

The three of them came to the booth and noticed Natasha Henstridge's hesitation when they took their seats. Nancy Josephson quietly pushed each other, and sat down on the opposite side after the girl sat down beside Simon. He summoned the waiter to exchange a glass of champagne, looking for a topic and said, "Simon, have you seen the two projects that Daenerys TV signed with us recently?"

Simon nodded and said, "I happened to be in New York a few days ago. It's a very good script. I heard that you personally recommended "Friends" to Iger?"

Nancy Josephson quietly weighed the expressions of the young man opposite, but she didn't see any other abnormalities. She was a little disappointed in her heart, but she said with an agreeing smile on her face: "Yeah, "Seinfeld" is so successful, I think, the same kind of Urban sitcoms of the genre should be very marketable."

After the new year, Daenerys TV began to look for TV projects for the new year.

Recently, ICM signed two scripts, one is an old-school crime film, which Simon doesn't value too much, and the other is the famous "Friends".

"Friends" in the original time and space was packaged and recommended to Warner Bros. Television Production Company by Nancy Josephson, the daughter of the founder of ICM, and then logged on the NBC television network, becoming NBC's most successful sitcom around the new century. With the phenomenal success of sitcoms, Time Warner can even earn a high copyright income of hundreds of millions of dollars a year from Netflix decades later.

C80s created a very successful project packaging mechanism.

After the rise of Daenerys Entertainment, although Simon did not completely reject this kind of cooperation model that was very unfriendly to the studio, he never accepted mandatory project packaging. The agency company has the right to recommend the main creator of the project it is looking for, but If Daenerys Entertainment feels inappropriate, it also has the final decision.

What Nancy Josephson said just now was actually to test Simon's attitude towards this project, so as to figure out how many artists under ICM can be recommended.

If Westeros is very optimistic about "Friends", then ICM can be stronger in the follow-up cooperation and have more say in the process of fighting for roles. After all, in order to facilitate the big boss to personally pay attention to the smooth progress of the project, Robert · Executives like Iger will inevitably make concessions during the implementation process.

In the previous "Friends", except for the six leading actors, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and other big names who participated in guest appearances in the following years were actually clients of ICM, which shows that ICM has a strong interest in this project. Influence.

Many things in this plane have changed.

At least this time, Courteney Cox, who is signed to the WMA and has a small reputation, will definitely not play Monica Geller again.

With the exception of Courteney Cox, Simon is very inclined to keep the other actors 'original', so he must have interfered in the casting of this TV series in private.

It's just that these, of course, will not be shown in front of Nancy Josephson.

After a few perfunctory words, Simon turned to Natasha Henstridge, who occasionally pretended to touch him casually, put his arms around the girl's waist and asked with a smile, "How is Nata doing?"

Natasha Henstridge only felt that the past few years had been rough.

In the past two years, the Victoria's Secret show has become more and more popular. She was selected at the beginning, and she thought she would become famous. She didn't expect to be pushed down in the recent stage. The girl who replaced her was named Nadja Allman. She must not be able to compete with the "legs" that Westeros personally held up. When she learned that she was brushed off for this reason, she almost collapsed.

Lost the opportunity of Victoria's Secret, felt that the future of her modeling career was bleak, and began to try to turn to Hollywood.

The water here is not much shallower than the fashion world.

Then, he was suddenly selected by Simon Westeros. After a lot of trouble, he got "Alien" and became the other party's exclusive vase. Luxurious villas, and the stars of the "Alien" crew who are much higher than her in Hollywood are also polite to her. Compared with other vases, she is treated like a princess in the crew.

It's just that, except for the first meeting and chatting on the plane for half an hour, and then for more than three months, Westeros never contacted her again.

Thinking of some words of the female assistant beside him back then, she once felt that she might have been abandoned by Westeros directly.

Well, he hasn't even slept with her.

Although the other party said to be his lover for a year, if she was just abandoned like this, and if other people found out, her situation in Hollywood would definitely be very bad, so she even started to experience insomnia and anxiety during this period, And besides the agent, he dared not tell anyone else about it.

Until tonight, the agent informed her to attend the party with the daughter of the ICM boss, and said that she might hope to see Westeros.

Sure enough, I saw it.

However, looking at his initial gaze, he seemed to have really forgotten himself.

At this moment, when that big hand came over, Natasha Henstridge didn't resist shyness at all, all she felt was a sense of relief.

He couldn't help but glance at the other people in the hall.

Many guests have noticed the situation here, and she is not worried. Instead, she hopes that more people will see and know that she is a woman from Westeros.

Of course, the thoughts can't be messed up.

Quickly agreed to the man's question: "It's very good, everyone takes good care of me."

In fact, at first, I thought that if the young man liked me enough, he might be able to reject this movie and change to a script with more potential. After all, the scale of "Alien" is a bit big. It is not easy for her to get rid of the vase image in this kind of movie.

But now, he dared not even think about it again.

Even during the filming during this period, when the director said that a double could be used for some scenes, she didn't dare to agree. What if he just wanted to see her body in this movie?On the contrary, some kissing scenes arranged borrowing, and the agent actively communicated with the crew. Although the crew found it strange that such small details were much more insignificant than nude scenes, they naturally would not object.

Simon nodded slightly, and said: "Actually, you have a very good figure. If you want to continue to develop in Hollywood, you can try the route of an action actress. Hollywood will need such actresses very much in the future."

After Simon finished speaking, Natasha Henstridge immediately thought of "Catwoman" Valerie Golino in "Batman" and "Wonder Woman" Famke Janssen.

Valerie Golino was born as the youngest actress in Venice, she is incomparable, but think about Mimic Jansen, the other party was just a small model who was not even a celebrity.

The eyes of Nancy Josephson on the opposite side also lit up.

With the popularity of "Wonder Woman", Famke Janssen has become one of the most successful examples of the fashion industry turning to Hollywood, and has led to more fashion models starting to develop in Hollywood in recent years.

Famke Janssen is actually an artist under ICM, but if the company can produce an extra top-level action actress, no one will dislike it.After all, Famke Janssen will be locked in the role of "Wonder Woman" for a long time, and another action actress will appear, and the two parties will not have too much resource conflict.

Natasha Henstridge put a sticker on the man without any trace, and said, "But, I don't know how to do it."

"Have you ever learned to dance?"

Natasha Henstridge said: "I took dance lessons for a while when I was a child, but I stopped when I was ten."

Nancy Josephson, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

Is it necessary to add the last sentence?

Simon just smiled and said, "In this case, you may have to suffer a bit. However, you are only 20 years old this year, so you still have a chance."

"19 years old," said Natasha Henstridge, "my birthday is August 8th, and I will be 15 years old in half a year."
