Hollywood Hunter

Last night, I was tossed by some small sounds to a very late time. In the end, I even wondered whether it was my own illusion. When I brushed my teeth, I took a picture in the mirror. Fortunately, there were no dark circles, otherwise it would be big.

The time is seven o'clock in the morning.

on Saturday.

The weather in Park City was still very cold in January, but the house was as warm as spring.

Leaving the bedroom, he slowed down tentatively and glanced at another door not far away. He must not have risen this time.

Going downstairs to the living room was shocked.

Simon is already sitting on the single sofa by the fireplace and is calling.Janet curled up in his arms like a kitten, squinting her eyes, only wearing a long pale pink cardigan, and two dazzling white long legs protruding out of the hem of the clothes unscrupulously.

He stood blankly at the stairs for a few seconds, until the man nodded at her before reacting, walking casually to the next sofa and sitting down.

But my heart is sour.

After he kissed his neck in the car that day, although there was no other intimate contact next, she naturally thought that the two people had some kind of involvement.

right now.

Janet can curl up in his arms without scruples.

But Jennifer could only sit beside him, still feeling a little guilty of stealing someone else's things.

Simon chatted with the opposite for a while, put down the microphone, and asked Jennifer: "How did you rest last night?"

Some blushing sounds appeared again in Jennifer’s head, his eyes flicking to the side, and he nodded calmly, "Good, you, um, who were you calling?"

"Ed McCracken, the CEO of Silicon Graphics," Simon said, explaining: "I suddenly realized one thing last night, and I didn’t have to put my 3D animation and CG effects on other people’s homes. The company's acquisition. To do this, I can recruit people to form a team, so that the cost is lower, and I can control the development direction of the technology more flexibly. Silicon diagram company supplies professional graphics to many universities, enterprises and R&D teams. Workstation, it happens to have contacts in this area, I just asked McCracken to help me introduce some people."

Jennifer listened absently to the man, but suddenly realized what he was looking up at Simon, and said, "You, thought of these last night?"

Simon nodded: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Jennifer hadn't answered yet, and Janet, shrunk in Simon's arms, couldn't help laughing.

Simon also blinked to understand, looking at the blushing Jennifer, he had to add: "Actually, when I left Pixar's headquarters the day before yesterday, I already had this idea."

Jennifer felt more embarrassed, and stood up and dropped the sentence "I'm going to prepare breakfast" and fled to the kitchen.

Simon watched some of the female assistant's figure disappear and patted Janet with his eyes narrowed. He said, "Baby, go to the bedroom to sleep well, be careful of colds."

Janet clasped Simon's hands on her body and said coquettishly: "You hold me in the past."

Simon picked up Janet and went to the bedroom on the second floor, put her on the big bed, covered the quilt, and said, "Sleep, after breakfast is ready, I will call you."

Janet shrank from the bed, but Wen Yan blinked at Simon: "You can finish breakfast with her and call me."

Simon smiled and pinched on the woman's face, helped her gather the quilt, and went downstairs again.

While still on the stairs, Simon heard the ringtone of the phone and came to the living room. He happened to see Jennifer coming out of the kitchen and was supposed to answer the phone.Seeing Simon, the female assistant immediately shrank back, like a frightened fawn.

Simon smiled helplessly, walked over to pick up the microphone, the phone came from New York, and the East Coast was already working time.

After Westeros began to reduce its holdings in New World Entertainment yesterday, the company's share price fell directly from $16.75 at the close of Thursday to $13.25 at the close of yesterday.

New World Entertainment shareholders and executives who were still waiting for Simon’s initiative to contact him suddenly couldn’t sit still,

After buying New World Pictures from Roger Coman, the king of B-class films in 1983, after several years of mergers, expansions, and reorganizations, Larry Cooper and his other partner, Harry Sloan, still hold There are more than 40% shares of New World Entertainment.

On the phone, Larry Couping stated that they were well aware of Simon’s intentions and expressed that they were happy with the deal and hoped that the two parties could officially start the acquisition negotiations.

Even according to the stock price of $13.25 at the close of yesterday, the market value of New World Entertainment still exceeds $330 million, which is still not affordable by Westeros.

What's more, once the two parties officially start negotiations, the share price of New World Entertainment will definitely rebound again.

The main dilemma facing New World Entertainment is the lack of funds.If Simon agrees to start negotiations for the acquisition of New World Entertainment, Wall Street Capital, who wants to kill Westeros aggressively, will certainly not allow the company’s operations to go wrong.

At that time, New World Entertainment will definitely get too easy to get working capital out of trouble.

Therefore, Larry Cooper's thoughts are also very obvious.

As long as they can keep in touch with Simon, the big money owner, regardless of whether the final deal is concluded, New World Entertainment is hopeful to overcome the current difficulties.Simon was naturally impossible to marry a person, and he simply perverted the other person on the phone and left the matter to James.

After breakfast, Simon took Janet and Jennifer to the city at nine o'clock to attend the premiere of a movie called "The Country of Dreams". Robert Redford also studied in this Sundance As the executive producer of the subsidized film.

Simon also chatted with Michael Hoffman, director of The State of Dreams, at the Redford family's party last year.Since it was the first feature film directed by a person, Michael Hoffman's narrative technique is not sufficiently skilled.However, Simon is very fond of the discussion of ideal disillusionment and confused reality under the cold lens of the film.

The premiere of "The State of Dreams" ended, Simon and Robert Redford and others left the Egyptian Theater and were planning to eat at a nearby restaurant.

The crowd was surrounded by a group of reporters just after going out.

Simon didn't care too much. After hearing the reporters' questions, he realized that the goal of these people was himself.

It turned out that this morning, WGA announced the nomination of the new American Screenwriter Union Award.Simon's three movies last year, "Rola Run", "Butterfly Effect" and "Death Is Coming", were all ignored and no nomination was received.

In the three films, the plot concept of "Butterfly Effect" is very novel, but the film criticism of the film last year was very low, and it was taken for granted that it was ignored by the award. As for "The Grim Reaper", this plasma thriller is even more impossible. Nominated.

Therefore, "Rola Run" can be said to be the main force of Simon's awards this year.

Prior to this, due to age factors, the media generally predicted that Simon’s most important award, which was easier to get at the most important Oscar in the award season, was the best screenwriter.All three films screened by Simon last year rushed into the top ten of the annual box office, and he deserves this award.

The main voting members of the Oscar Screenplay Awards are all concentrated in the American Screenwriters Union.

Now, WGA has completely ignored "Roller Run", and the next Oscar, Simon can no longer win some screenwriter awards, and even nominations are hard to count on.

Back in the resort apartment in the afternoon, Simon also obtained more detailed information from Los Angeles.

At the press conference of nominations, faced with media questions, the chairman of WGA Western Conference George Kogo explained that "Laura Run" is too focused on form and lacks connotation, so it failed to meet the award nomination standards.

Simon just laughed about it, and he didn't think that because he refused to join the WGA, the other party's "killing stick" would be so obvious.

However, for a brief discussion, Simon just let Pat Kingsley make a statement that respects the WGA's choice.

Simon himself does not care about the awards, but he is also impossible to consider for the film produced by Daenerys.

In the final analysis, the entire award season is a game. Everyone is in the game. If you want to get a reward, you must follow the rules.

Therefore, although there are some keen senses in the media that Simon is not a member of WGA and questioned the fairness of WGA nomination, Simon did not respond to this.

The tumultuous day is over.

At night, by the fireplace in the resort apartment, Simon, Janet and Jennifer sat on the sofa together, each holding a script in their hands.

Robert Redford sent two full-box scripts today, Simon plans to return to Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon, and tomorrow morning to participate in the premiere of another movie, so I can only take the time to read these scripts .

After the premiere of "The State of Dreams," Simon has agreed to invest in another film by Michael Hoffman, called "Sisters," about a college student who rushed to Canada to visit his girlfriend in a weird family. Kind of anecdote.

Janet was holding the script at this time, and leaned on Simon to read with interest.

Jennifer was a little absent-minded. It was nothing last night. Everyone rested quickly after returning from the party.But tonight, in the strange town among the mountains, surrounded by snow and cold, the quiet resort hut, a man and two women.

This atmosphere is really weird.

The weirdest thing is that the other two guys are completely unconscious.

I don’t know how long it took, the phone rang suddenly, and finally broke the atmosphere that made Jennifer so uncomfortable. She looked up, Simon had picked up the microphone, simply said a few words to the opposite, and then hung up again. phone.

Janet was dissatisfied with the quiet atmosphere and was squeezed over Simon, asking, "What's the matter?"

Simon picked up the script just now and smiled, "The Lord of the Rings is ours."

Janet pouted: "For $10 million, Zaenz would be abnormal if he refused."

Jennifer did not yet know the communication between Simon and Sol Zahnz last night, and it was a bit difficult to hear the words: "10 million dollars, buy the copyright of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy?"

"Yeah, you know, just don't say it."

Jennifer still looked surprised, but just nodded.

Janet smiled and stretched out her small hand and grabbed Simon, saying, "This sheep is very fat, Janet, do you want to touch it too."

Jennifer blushed, pretending not to hear Janet.

Janet rolled her eyes, stood up and walked over, took Jennifer who hadn't responded, got up and returned, pressed her to her previous position, and the woman ran to the other side of the sofa, squeezing Simon towards the center And sit down again.

This is a long sofa facing the fireplace. It's not too big. The three people sitting suddenly seemed crowded.

I don't know if it was the fire in the fireplace. Jennifer felt the breath of the man next to him, and suddenly felt a little warm in his face.I don't know what it feels like in her heart. After hesitating for a while, she still didn't run away. She was cautiously beside the man, so she calmly focused on the script again.

Simon also thought about the next thing to win the copyright of "Elven Diamond". He didn't expect Janet to do it suddenly, but he just smiled and said, "There are only two, a little bit."

"Little bastard, how many more do you want?"

"Of course, the more the better...ah, don't pinch."

"Jenny, you pinch him too."

Jennifer raised her arm eagerly, seeing that Simon just looked at it, and then shyly shrank back, waiting for the two of them to play for a while, and then randomly found a topic, asking Simon: "Did you pick a script?" "

Simon shook the script in his hand and said, "This is good."

Jennifer glanced sideways curiously, and found a series of numbers on the cover of the script, 3000.

"3000", what does this mean?

Simon felt her curiosity and actively explained: "This is a black drama film about the story of Vivian, a street girl in Los Angeles, who agreed to accompany a rich man for a week for $3,000. However, I plan to change her into one. Love movie."

Jennifer frowned slightly when he heard the term'Street Girl', and quickly said, "Love movie, like, um, "The Camellia Girl"?"

Simon nodded: "Yes."

Janet also said at this time: "In this case, it must be a tragedy. If it is Xiao Zhongma's work, there may be some people interested. In the modern era, who will be interested in the love tragedy of a street girl?"

"I didn't say it was going to be a tragedy. Of course, the ending is that the prince and the princess lived happily together," Simon shook his head, glancing at the script in his hand, and said with a smile: "I also thought of another story for this story. Name, "Wind Moon Beauty"."

The "Feng Yue Qiao Jia Ren" in my memory happened to be adapted from a black drama called "3000".

Simon did not expect that he would see this story in the script recommended by Redford. Whether it is the screenwriter name J.F. Lawton or the content of the story, it is very consistent with "Wind Moon Beauty".But if you think about it, the Sundance Institute happens to provide a training and development platform for new directors and screenwriters. The black plot type "3000" script is also attached to the Sundance Film Festival style.Straighten these, and it is not too coincidental to get this script at this time.

After "Rola Run", if "Wind Moon Beauty" comes from Sundance, the future Park City will definitely be more lively.

On the sofa in front of the fireplace, Simon felt the two women beside him, thinking of getting the good things of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Wind Moon Beauty" in succession tonight.

perhaps.
