Hollywood Hunter

One second to remember [800♂ small÷speak→net], wonderful novels with no bullet windows to read for free!

Thoughts drifted briefly and soon returned to the script in hand.

What will be will be in the future.

Since it's clear that nothing escapes the bloom and the wilt, let's make the matter at hand as good as possible.

According to the script in hand and the information in memory, by the standards of pure popcorn movies, the quality of "Extreme Deep Cold" is actually above the passing line, high-concept story style, tough guy, beautiful women, funny, mysterious sea monster and other commercial elements are not lacking, and all of them can leave a good impression on the audience.

The reason why it failed once, in the downturn of the chaotic period of Disney's distribution strategy mistakes accounted for a large part, later also proved that the film's video and television broadcast sales are very good, even the other side of the ocean in China also introduced the film.

With his laptop resting on the round table at hand, Simon read the script, gave it some thought, and typed in his opinion of "Extreme Deep Freeze" on an email he planned to send to Amy Pascal.

According to the memo on the script, Stephen Sommers wants to direct the project himself, and also plans to invite big names like Harrison Ford to produce a bombshell, Simon also sees Sommers' shrewdness in this information, and he probably guesses that Simon is deliberately trying to suppress the production pace of various foreign collaborations.

If Simon had agreed to have Sommers direct Extreme Deep Freeze himself, The Mummy 2 would have been delayed.

For the Mission Impossible series, Simon did have this in mind.

Even if the chairman of the Seagram Group, Edgar Bronfman Jr. himself came to say the item at the last celebration party, Simon won't be lenient and the interval between the first Mission Impossible and Mission Impossible 2 is two and a half years to be exact, and as for Mission Impossible 3, at least that's the interval cycle, with a late 1998 release at the earliest.

The Mummy, with Fox, was different.

The Westeros system and the News Corp behind Fox were allies, and Simon had no intention of suppressing The Mummy series, and The Mummy 2 would have been produced at the standard two-year interval, with a summer 1998 release.

On the other hand, Stephen Sommers was a commercial film director that Simon was very interested in, and he hoped that the filmmaker would further expand his abilities towards producing, Sommers had previously been a writer and director, and it was a good time to test the waters with Extreme Deep Freeze, directing The Mummy 2 and also producing Extreme Deep Freeze, leaving the project to other directors.

In addition, the production cost of "Deep Freeze", Simon also hopes to control within the former 50 million U.S. dollars, now began preparations, shooting in the first half of next year, probably can be placed in the 1998 Easter release date. Actually a more appropriate time frame would be the end of next year, except that there's already Titanic at the end of next year, and Simon doesn't want to put the film under the crush of a big ship.

Stephen Sommers is producing "Extremely Deep Freeze" in the first half of next year and filming "The Mummy 2" in the second half, so the pace is just right.

On a final thought, I've included a note that the actress could be considered for Natasha Henschel.

The original Famke Jensen is now the famous 'Wonder Woman', not suitable to play a vase in such a movie again, Natasha Hinchurch is just right, the fat is not flowing.

After writing an email, Simon picked up another folder.

In it were a couple of film outlines for a new project about Jett Lee.

Simon remembered roughly a few of the films that Jet Lee had made in Hollywood around 2000, and they had all been quite commercially successful, but Simon hadn't been too fond of either Fatal Romeo with a black man or Kiss of the Dragon, written by Luc Besson.

Mainly because none of these films really showed the essence of Chinese kung fu.

Simon is also aware that this is largely due to cultural differences, that the projects in question are really spoken for by Westerners, and that Jet Li doesn't speak as highly as Jack Seng, who rose to prominence with the "Peak Time" series.

None of this is what Simon wants to see.

The planned "Heroes", Simon just recently sent the idea to the Chinese side, the script is still being written, and, such a big project, it is impossible to start shooting in the short term, Simon is not going to let Jett Lee white wait a year, so he personally intervened to give considerable authority to let Jett Lee himself in conjunction with the New World Pictures screenwriting team to take the initiative to dig new projects. The condition is a budget of $25 million, Jett Lee will also personally name the producer, as to be able to participate to that extent, depending on the enthusiasm of the other side.

What Simon wants is real Chinese kung fu in Hollywood, not fights and gunfights.

The information in hand is the result of recent brainstorming there.

There are no bright ideas, the setting basically revolves around kung fu masters from China visiting friends and relatives in the US or investigating criminals, etc., running around Hollywood and killing everyone.

After browsing through a few synopses, Simon drew a cross straight after it.

Still, he was going to do it himself.

After all, most good ideas actually come from the accumulation of material by the creators themselves. If we talk about accumulation, the whole of Hollywood probably doesn't have a Simon with more than ten memories stored in his head, and more professional.

Just picking up another script whose cover read "Saving Private Ryan", light footsteps could be heard in the ears, and a little girl as delicate as a doll came to Simon with a fruit plate, her dark eyes looking at Simon: "Daddy, this is what Mommy prepared."

The tone of the little girl's voice when she called out for Daddy was much more natural than some unruly little girl who was clearly shouting 'SugarDaddy'.

Simon smiled and patted his knee, sitting the little girl on his lap and cuddling the tiny person in his arms as he continued to look at the script in his hand, speaking in Chinese, "MiuMiu, getting used to life in America?"

The little girl sat on Simon's lap, still holding the fruit plate, twirled an apple nicely and brought it to Simon's mouth, then carefully took the toothpick back. ."

Simon ate a piece of apple, saw the little girl bring over another piece of pineapple, bit down again, and said, "It's raining here in New York, too, and you'll meet it sooner or later."

"No it isn't, it is, it's always cloudy in London, and also, the streets and people are cloudy too."

Simon didn't think the girl's sense of London was quite accurate, and smiled, "If you don't like it, you won't go there anymore."

"Well," said the little girl, continuing to put fruit in Simon's mouth, not eating a single piece herself with great restraint, as she added, "Daddy, can you make time to go out with me and Mommy?"

Simon turned the page of his script and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

The little girl said, "Anywhere, as long as it's with Daddy."

Simon looked down at the little girl with pretty eyes flashing in his arms and smiled, understanding that this was probably what the little girl's mother had taught her to say, and turned his head to see that a certain woman was indeed standing not far from the entrance of the villa looking this way, and seeing that Simon had noticed her, hesitated, and took the initiative to come over without waiting for the man to call.

Seeing her mother coming over, the little girl looked around at her own mother and Simon, took the initiative to jump off Simon's lap and handed her mother the half of the fruit plate that was still left: "Mom, you can talk to dad, I'll go do my homework."

When the girl ran away and disappeared inside the villa door, Simon smiled and patted his own leg, Ms. Liu blushed slightly and hesitated a little, or snuggled over and sat down, feeling the man's strong arm around his waist, slightly adapted to quickly relax, while continuing his daughter's work just to Simon's mouth to send fruit, while taking the initiative to find the topic: "Are you reading the script? "

Compared to Simon's shirt and trousers when he arrived before noon, the woman at this time put on a very obvious figure of dark green sleeveless silk dress, and dancing origin, now sitting in the arms of a man, the body is soft and charming, elegant temperament, pleasant woman fragrance to have been abstinent for nearly a week Simon are a little stupid.

"Yeah," see the woman looking for a topic, Simon nodded and asked: "Isn't it summer vacation now, MiuMiu do what homework? Also, has her school been determined in advance?"

"The school has been confirmed, I've arranged summer tuition for MiuMiu, and I need to know about all the various courses here in America."

Simon sniffed and shook his head, "There's no need for that, girls need to be well-bred, they don't need to do so much homework."

The woman obediently nodded her head and agreed "What about you ...... let her call you dad, you're in charge."

"Then just leave the English lessons, just be able to communicate with the kids over here in the future." Simon said and smiled again, then said, "The Chinese are actually smarter and have accumulated more than most of the kids of their age over here, there's no need for any more tuition, otherwise the other kids won't have a chance to live."

The woman clearly didn't know this, and was still a little skeptical, "No way?"

"You'll see as time goes on."

"Well," the woman agreed again, hesitating a little, and then asked, "Simon, will you be here this weekend?"

"Yeah, let's go over to the art group tomorrow and see if they're slacking off," Simon gazed at the woman's fair, slender neck and half-joked, "What about you, are you slacking off?"

Feeling the man's gaze, the woman's face blushed a little more and said, "No, we've been working very hard on creating choreography, sometimes until late at night, and we don't want to disappoint your expectations."

It's been exactly one month since the National Wind Art Troupe arrived in the United States.

In this month, if I had to describe it, it was as if everyone had stepped into paradise compared to their previous lives, probably the life of a fairy tale princess was nothing more than that.

As long as the IQ was normal, no one would take this kind of generosity for granted without a reason.

So, for Simon's instructions down the task, the whole team are doing their best, who dare not slack off, for fear that the end of the public performance screwed up, the crystal shoes and pumpkin car will all disappear, enjoy the luxury of this time, whether it is the girls of the National Wind Art Troupe or was hired to come to the United States choreography teacher, absolutely do not want to go back to the past life.

Any effort to achieve this goal is worth it.

Compared to the other side of the National Wind Art Troupe, the mother and daughter on this side felt themselves more like a dream, if you use the simplest measure, the treatment they enjoyed was completely ten times the level of the girls of the National Wind Art Troupe. Many times waking up in the bedroom of this waterfront manor villa, Ms. Liu would wonder if she was dreaming.

Even if it was a dream, the longer such a dream lasted, the better, of course.

Thus likewise not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After chatting intimately for a while, and confirming that Simon would be here this weekend, Ms. Liu didn't dare to ask for anything else, and returned to the villa with the empty fruit plate, leaving time for the man to be alone.

Simon's attention was also refocused on the script in front of him.

Saving Private Ryan, Spielberg's epic war blockbuster released in 1998, had historically grossed close to $500 million worldwide with a production cost of $70 million, and was the 1998 North American box office champion.

Even compared to 1997's Titanic and 1999's Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Saving Private Ryan's $200 million box office in North America was more due to the fact that 1998 was a small year for movies, but since it was the year's winner, it should not be underestimated.

Simon the big butterfly didn't slap this script away.

However, because of Daenerys Entertainment's strength in Hollywood, it's only natural that the best scripts would be the first to flow into Daenerys Entertainment, and this time is no exception.

As war movies go, the script for Saving Private Ryan wasn't really that well received; Hollywood hadn't had a big-selling war movie in years since a series of Vietnam War films in the 1980s, and war movies are usually made on huge, risky budgets, which limits the amount of money studios can put into them.

In the original time, if it wasn't for Spielberg, the film probably would have had a hard time appearing on the big screen.

Now that history has changed and the script for Saving Private Ryan has been successfully truncated by Daenerys Entertainment, Simon has to consider what to do with the project.

Spielberg still owes Danielle Entertainment a contract he inherited from Universal, but the divide between the two sides over the Jurassic Park series is deep, and Universal's restrictions on the director's ability to fulfill his contract were so broad that it didn't matter if Spielberg dragged it out for another eight or 10 years, according to the agreement.

Plus, Spielberg is now focused on the operations of DreamWorks, and it's unlikely that he'll let the other party take over the project.

As such, Simon could only consider other options.

According to Denise Entertainment's schedule, there is little hope of starting the project in the short term, and Simon won't give up on making this cinematic classic, which is actually in line with Simon's philosophy of maintaining diversity in Hollywood, except that this time, Saving Private Ryan is clearly not going to be released in 1998, and must be considered in the long run.
