Hollywood Hunter

    After Stephen Sommers finished speaking, David Giller nodded, then shook his head and said, "Stephen, first of all it's a great story, but if you're going to start production right away, which I certainly don't have time to do, I've already promised Fox to produce Alien 4, and I've just been talking to Joe Roth. Speaking of which, don't you need to get ready for The Mummy 2?"

Prior to accepting The Mummy series, Stephen Sommers was just a budding new director with no bargaining chips of the sort, so he signed a one-off package deal for a trilogy.

At the question from David Giller, however, Stephen Sommers gave a slightly wry smile: "If Daenerys is optimistic about Extreme Deep Freeze, I'm sure Simon will give me permission to make the film first."

This statement clearly carries some subtext.

Some of the men and women around them understood immediately, some pondered a little to get the general idea, but others were confused. Gwyneth Paltrow was looking at her boyfriend in confusion right in front of most of the would-be eyes, and Peter couldn't explain it at this point, so he had to pretend not to notice.

It's actually quite simple.

The Mummy series is just a joint project with Fox, and if Daenerys is optimistic about Extreme Deep Freeze and is solely invested in the production, this is a progeny.

Pro-life of course takes precedence.

In fact, the making of Mission Impossible 2 is an obvious reference.

The first Mission Impossible film was made in 1993, but Paramount didn't release a sequel until the current summer of 1996, nearly three years apart, and few would have believed it if it hadn't been deliberately delayed by Daenerys to make way for her other films.

After all, movie slots and film and television resources are limited.

The amount of time and resources taken up by developing one Mission Impossible series in three years is certainly not the same as developing one in two.

The situation with Extreme Deep Freeze is slightly different, but similar, and in the end, Daenerys Entertainment's interests are definitely the one that needs to be protected as a top priority.

David Giller, who is old and wise, of course understood immediately, smiled as well, and said, "Well, Stephen, you should actually talk to Amy or Simon directly."

"The main thing is that the script isn't finished yet," said Stephen Sommers, "I'm going to take a vacation to Hawaii next and get the script done by the way."

"I'll wish you success, then, and feel free to contact me if you need any help," David Gilles held out his hand to Somers, shook the other man's, raised his glass to the others, and turned to walk away.

Brad Pitt followed David Giller's direction to notice the more lively John Wu side not too far away, withdrawing his gaze, smiling and taking the initiative to greet Somers, Fang Kimmer and the two English roses, and couldn't help but be a little touched by Somers' just-introduced "Extreme Deep Freeze" inside.

After last year's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Brad Pitt's Superman character won't be resurrected until a few years from now with Justice League, and he certainly can't be idle these days.

The main target now is John Woo's new film, Changing Faces.

Linda Vargas, while hinting that he has high hopes, isn't 100 percent after all. If this project doesn't get it, it seems, this Stephen Sommers film, "Extreme Deep Freeze," will count as good.

Brad Pitt, of course, heard what Sommers had just said about wanting Harrison Ford to be in the movie, but in Hollywood, role attribution is such a thing that even after the movie is killed there can still be re-shoot withdrawals, so nothing is certain until it's released.

So there was no rush to greet John Wu on the other side, and we introduced each other and chatted enthusiastically.

Stephen Sommers and Brad Pitt were chatting animatedly with a few people, and Kate Beckinsale, who had originally just followed over for a quick look, didn't have the patience to continue participating and quietly pulled Rachel Vizzi, but Rachel wanted to continue, feeling Kate's small gesture, and had to smile at everyone and walk away with the people around her.

At a party like this, pick-up lines and the like would have been very common.

The two English rose but seems to be naturally with some kind of insulation, belongs to no one at all up front to take the initiative to chat, the good thing is that the two women is not a person who will not socialize, even if there is no other thought, this party so many guests can always find a few interested targets.

Rachel Weisz made a point of stopping Robert De Niro, who had just arrived, for a chat and finally for an autograph.

After a bit of shuttling, they came to this side of the pool.

Kate neatly took off her heels and sat down by the side of the pool, dipping her feet in the cold water and shifting a pair of slender feet comfortably as she curiously surveyed some of the mermaids in the pool.

Rachel wasn't as big of a grin as Kate, sitting down next to her sideways very quietly, and followed suit by looking at the pool and smiling, "You want to swim, huh?"

Kate lifted her chin, "Of course not, I'm not a proper chaperone."

The several girls in the pool wearing bikinis are obviously supermodel level, several are very familiar with the kind of face. In this case, other women and then into the water to swim, simply humiliated, after all, not many people can and these need to rely on the face of the body to eat and therefore years of careful exercise and maintenance of the goblins to compare.

As they were talking, one of the mermaids had swam over, climbing generously over the edge of the pool and tossing her hair before greeting Rachel with a smile, "Hello, Miss Vicki, I just saw The Mummy recently, and you're so pretty in it, oh, of course, even prettier in person."

"Thank you," Rachel agreed politely, shaking the other woman's hand, not forgetting to help introduce her as the woman's eyes followed her, "This is Kate Beckinsale, she's one of the leading ladies in Charlie's Angels, the movie comes out at the end of the year."

"I'll have to see that," the damsel reached out to shake Kate's hand again and introduced herself, "I'm Fernanda Lima."

Rachel smiled, "I know, well Vermillion Angel, and frankly, you have a jealous figure."

"Oh, thanks."

Kate rolled her eyes slightly as she listened to the two of them give each other a good laugh, and asked with a little sarcasm, "Lima, why have you been staying in the water, aren't you going to come up here and play for a while?"

Fernanda Lima didn't seem to feel Kate's prickliness and smiled, "Because we're mermaids tonight. Mermaids stay in the water, of course. Kate, want to come down and join us?"

"No, I can't be a mermaid."

Probably watching Lima and Kate chatting well, several other girls in the pool also swam over, but instead of climbing on the side of Kate who had her feet in the water, they lined up on the other side of Fernanda Lima, for a total of six girls, looking over together.

Kate was embarrassed to be stared at by six pairs of eyes together, so she withdrew her feet and sat on the side of the pool, following Rachel's example.

One by one, Fernanda nudged over and introduced, "Eva, Daniela, Tricia, Heidi, Melania, and finally little Angela."

The girl on the far right who had been added as a prefix was disgruntled and just a little smugness was still evident in her expression, "Phil, you're jealous, Simon clearly said I was a little fox, not a little Angela."

Fernanda smiled, "It's small anyway, isn't it?"

The girl named Angela Lindewall didn't argue anymore, and gestured towards a maid not far away, who quickly brought over a stack of bathrobes.

Then the six girls together beauty out of the bath, with the sound of water have left the pool, in turn, received the waitress handed over the bathrobe draped over the body, laughing and joking towards the villa over there.

Suddenly, the two women were left staring at each other.

I thought it was a mermaid?

I thought we were supposed to stay in the water.

You really can't trust a pretty woman.

Hmm.

Who said that?

Then, watching the scene of the six women making their way unimpeded through the crowd all the way into the mansion villa, Kate reacted to this pickup insulated physique ...... turned somewhat exasperatedly to Rachel, "How many women does he have?"

Rachel blinked and subconsciously denied, "What does that have to do with me?"

You don't have a Vicar's Maid of Honor yourself.

Kate forced her eyes on Rachel, as if depicting some sort of label, before looking around for someone, "Rachel, why don't you think he's here yet?"

How could he not be here?

Rachel didn't answer, but her eyes were looking in the direction the six women had just left.

The main villa of the mansion.

How clever of Kate to look over at them all together, then feeling really stupid, she stood up in her shoes, grabbed Rachel and headed over to the villa. They had just arrived, and since they had been led here directly by the waiter, Kate assumed that someone would be in the crowd if they arrived, but overlooked the fact that the villa was also brightly lit!

Also realizing that some guy who was saying no to the idea was actually thinking about it all the time.

How else could it be more sensitive than she felt.

The two women entered the villa hall, and indeed many people were there.

Without wasting any time on the first floor, Kate pulled Rachel, who seemed to be hesitant, towards the stairs and to the second floor, where the atmosphere was much quieter.

Checking around.

Two bodyguards guarded the east side of the second floor hallway, nothing on the west side.

Decisively turning to the east side, rightfully blocked, Kate didn't panic and asked, "Is Simon over here, can you speak to him, I'm Kate Beckinsale, and Rachel Vizzi."

One of the men said, "Just a moment, Miss."

Leaving one of them to go to a door of a room, he knocked, said something to the inside, and quickly indicated that they could go through.

Finally, I've found you.

Kate was slightly excited, pulling Rachel, whose palms were obviously starting to sweat, over quickly, but came to the door of this room, only to look inside and regret it for a moment.

Simon was indeed there.

It was just that there were other people in the room, including Robert De Niro, who Rachel had just asked for an autograph, Ira Deutschman, the president of Goldman Pictures, WMA head Jonathan Friedman, former Disney chairman Michael Eisner, and so on, in short, a bunch of grown-ups.

They two girls ran over here, and it doesn't look out of place in any way.

With a bunch of unscrupulous androgynous creatures around her staring at them with obvious glee, and not being able to turn around and leave, Kate had to scalp her way through the door, not forgetting to grab an equally frozen Rachel, who grinned what must have been an ugly grin and said, "Simon, and everyone else, we're just here to... ...Say hello."

One of the refined middle-aged men seemed to not want them to be embarrassed and offered to help out, motioning down the east side, "Go to the next room, the women are over there."

Kate gave a subconscious hmmm and instinctively had to back away, only to quickly realize that she still had to see Simon's reaction.

With a smile on his face but an expression of helplessness, Simon pointed to Robert Iger who had spoken up and then to Kate both said, "You guys go down, have fun and don't come back here."

"Well, see you then ......."

He said nicely pulling Rachel back out of the room, and also took the initiative to pull the door shut, which led to a pat on the chest and a deep exhale.

That was scary.

About to head towards the stairs, remembering what the middle-aged man had just said, her eyes couldn't help but glance towards the door of the room that was a little further in, and moved a little curiously towards it. Only, in a flash, a chill ran straight from her feet to her brain, and Kate pulled Rachel quickly towards the stairs without thinking about it.

Those guys, they were awful.

The women are over there ...... what women?

What other woman could it be?

Bumping into a bunch of grown men is just embarrassing.

Bumping into Janet Westeros, who knows if she'll make it out alive.

The one just now also seems to be a top executive of Daenerys Entertainment, forgetting what it's called, and also acting like a refined person, but I didn't expect it to be so bad.

Alas, as expected what kind of people bring out what kind of subordinates.

Inside the second floor room, watching the two girls retreat in a mess, a group of men couldn't help but laugh.

The first to speak up was Robert Iger, who had almost pitted the two women against each other in a serious manner: "Simon, I don't think that even if you solve the problem of controlled fusion, it will change much for the future of humanity. I know that your goal is to create near-infinite productivity and therefore ensure that all of humanity, even if most of them don't have to work at all, can enjoy perfect social welfare, but did you know that ...... is probably, well, the year you were born in 1968, an animal behaviorist named John Calhoun did a study called The 'Rat Heaven' experiment was probably similar to your theory of infinite productivity, providing a space with an absolute abundance of food and water for the rats to live freely and reproduce infinitely without any worries, and still, Rat Heaven collapsed."

"I know about this experiment," Mark Belford, Vice President of Global Operations for Denise Entertainment, who was sitting on the other side of the couch, picked up, "I took a sociology course in college, and my teacher happened to talk about it. And the teacher's answer was that if we want to survive longer, we need war. Simon, don't you just love Chinese culture? My teacher used this very typical ancient country as a case study, because of the special geographical situation, China has been continuously attacked and plundered by the northern mounted archery people for more than two thousand years, however, this country not only did not perish, but also survived until now. On the contrary, many ancient civilizations that were in a privileged environment and had no natural enemies have instead disappeared without a trace."

Michael Eisner, who was no longer in the loop and still ran to join in the fun, sank comfortably into the single sofa, crossed his legs leisurely, and said, "I do think you guys are too pessimistic, the collapse of the rat paradise because they only have instincts and are unable to think. The Chinese case, well, I don't know much about that. But I think what Simon is doing, in fact, is offering us the possibility of a better solution to the problem, isn't that right, Simon?"

Simon nodded, "True."

Igor said, "But I think that as long as there are classes of humans, the more productive they are, the greater the gulf between the different classes will instead be, and when the gulf is so great that it is desperate, the world will be more unstable."

Simon couldn't help but ask, "Bob, you've seen Attack the Block, too?"

"What?"

"A Japanese manga, some of the ideas in it coincide with what you just said."

Jonathan Friedman said, "I did read this one, my son bought it and happened to flip through it and thought it was good, I read it before I knew it, a very shocking manga indeed, Simon, maybe you could buy the rights and change it into a movie."

Simon sipped his red wine and nodded his head, "I'll think about it."

There was actually a slightly more out-of-place chairman of the Seagram Group, Edgar Bronfman Jr. in the room.

The Canadian tycoon who controls both Paramount Pictures and Orion Pictures had flown in from Toronto for this party, which was actually mainly to push for Mission Impossible 3 to go into production as soon as possible and not delay it for another three years like the second one, which Seagram could kind of afford.

I just didn't expect that a bunch of top Hollywood bigwigs would get together to discuss such ...... bullshit about the future of humanity.

Well.

Edgar Bronfman Jr. was about to interrupt a bit when the door was knocked on again and everyone looked over together, but it was Amy Pascal who appeared in the doorway with another white man on her arm.

When they saw the two men appear, everyone got up.

Amy, however, motioned for everyone to make themselves at home, pushed the man next to her over, and said, "This is Bernard, well, Jenny and the others are next door, right, I'm coming over, you guys talk."

So saying, Amy very irresponsibly left a certain man behind and turned next door on her own.

Seems ...... well, a bit shy.

Actually we all understand why that is.

This is Amy's fiancé, Bernard Weinraub. Amy is pregnant, and they plan to get married on their solo day, but because of the busy summer schedule, not only will the wedding be abbreviated, but Amy doesn't plan to have a honeymoon right away, and is going to postpone it until September.

The two of them were acquainted because of Weinraub's work, and soon became acquainted and had further feelings for each other, unaware that they were already talking about marriage. What's actually more surprising is that Bernard Weinraub is a full 21 years older than Amy Pascal.

Obviously to the point of being a bit of a disparity in female heights and male heights, such an age difference can only be considered true love.

Anyone on the scene was enough to throw Bernard Weinraub a few blocks, but, after all, it was Amy's fiancé, and everyone was very respectful. Taking the initiative to greet him, Simon even let the other person sit down next to him on the couch, which was how the conversation continued.

As for next door.

When Amy appeared, led by Janet, the group of women who knew each other well were not so polite.
