Hollywood Hunter

Daenerys Entertainment Headquarters.

Simon came outside his office. Six men and women were already waiting in the outer lounge. Among the four women and two men, three tall and beautiful girls were Simon’s choice of Wonder Woman. The other three were obviously theirs. broker.

Seeing Simon appear, a girl in this group took the lead in raising her hand to say hello to Simon: "Hi, Simon."

Simon stepped closer and looked at Helena Christensen, whom she hadn't seen for more than half a year, and smiled, "How are they, Cindy?"

"Very good," Helena Christensen said, with some small grudges in her eyes: "I thought you had completely forgotten us."

At Simon’s 20th birthday party earlier this year, he happened to meet several supermodels in his memory, namely Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen, Paulina Preskova and Stephanie Seamore.

Simon remembered leaving contact information for several girls in the end, but the circle between the two parties was too far apart after all, and after a hard phone call, Simon did not give a too positive response, and the women were very interesting. The earth no longer contacts him frequently.

If it wasn't for this time, Simon did not mean to contact them.

"Of course not, I have a good memory."

Simon said with a smile, and greeted several others.

In addition to Helena, the other two Wonder Woman candidates are Farmick Jensen, and one named Erica Anderson.

Famick Jensen is the first generation of Phoenix women in the "X-Men" series of time and space, and also participated in the role of villain in the "007 Golden Eye".

Of the three candidates, Simon is actually more inclined to Famique Jensen, and she is comparable to Gal Gadot in many aspects, and the phoenix girl's aura in "X-Men" is even stronger than Gal. ·Gado.

Famique Jensen is 23 years old and he is from a Dutch family of acting.

Simon's planned "Wonder Woman" started shooting three years later and will be released within five years. This is actually because of the customary five-year copyright contract restrictions.Therefore, the age of Farmick Jensen is just right.Five years later, she was 28 years old. After years of training and polishing, her face value and aura just reached their peak.

Erica Anderson is also a big beauty comparable to Helena and Farmik, but with a relatively low reputation compared to the first two. In Simon’s memory, Erica Anderson’s best-known film should be a few years later and Nicholas Cage's erotic film "The Wild Rose".

Simon picked the opponent based on a sports-style video submitted by Erica Anderson.

The last Helena Christensen, Simon is interested in the healthy and wild temperament of the Nordic girl on her body, but her age among the three girls is actually the youngest, just twenty years old this year, if you can get it Chance, 25 years old is just right after five years.

The six people entered the office with Simon, and the room suddenly seemed a little crowded. The reception area was a long and two-seat sofa layout, which only seated five people. The other two agents moved chairs and sat down next to each other.

Waiting for everyone to sit down, Simon looked at the three girls crowded on the couch and said, "First of all, you'd better not disclose it in our conversation today.

Prior to this, various brokerage companies only submitted candidates based on the selection criteria given by Daenerys Entertainment. Although there have been speculations, there has been no exact news until now.

At this moment, when hearing the solemn thing in Simon's tone, the three girls and their agent were all up.

Simon said this obviously means that this opportunity is very rare.Three agents who closely follow the industry's dynamics have even basically made a judgment. After all, Daenerys Entertainment just announced that it had obtained the rights to Wonder Woman.

It's just that after looking at his clients for a few times, the three brokers have a little regret in their hearts almost at the same time: no chest.

You know, whether it is in the comics, or Linda Carter, the most famous Wonder Woman player in the 1970s, the chest is definitely very predictable.However, the three women in front of them seem to have no advantage in this respect.

Is it because he guessed wrong?

Or maybe Simon Westero likes this type?

The minds of big men are still hard to figure out.

Simon's memory naturally contains images of Linda Carter's Wonder Woman, but even without Gal Gadot's reference, he was not interested in choosing the image of a big breasted vase.

After everyone nodded to understand, Simon continued: "You probably guessed it, yes, I am indeed choosing the Wonder Woman." Before the three girls were happy, Simon immediately added: "However, Daenerys Entertainment does not intend to start shooting this movie in the near future. You need to wait until three years later. If we can reach an agreement today, Daenerys Entertainment will arrange some opportunities for you in the next three years to help you exercise your skills. Yes, you probably don’t have any acting skills now."

Because they are all models above the standard, the three girls definitely do not lack a sense of lens. Many Hollywood actresses will work part-time as actors and models in the early stages of career development.But model literacy and acting are completely different.

Laughing cooperatively, the three girls heard Simon confirm, but more excited in their hearts.

If you can choose, between the two careers of actors and models, they will definitely choose the latter without hesitation, and most girls in the circle will obviously do the same.

After all, the models eat a bite of youth. Except for the few who have become famous as supermodels, most models tend to retire before the age of 30. They will either find a good man to marry as a housewife or turn to other Occupation.

In comparison, the actor is a long-term job.

As long as they can successfully enter this circle, even if they can only become the second and third lines of occasional supporting roles, they are definitely much stronger than ordinary well-known models.The fame brought by being an actor can in turn extend their professional life in the fashion world and give them more opportunities.

What's more, the salary difference between the two is also very obvious.

Therefore, most models in the fashion industry have tried to enter Hollywood.

Michael Fox's "Development Road" last year was just the first few shots with no lines at all, which gathered several top fashion models in the fashion industry, such as Cindy Crawford.In comparison, Hollywood first-line stars obviously will not reverse their identity.

Briefly introducing the situation, Simon talked about specific details: "If you are no problem here, we can sign an agreement recently. The three of you will need to follow the arrangements of Daenerys Entertainment in the next few years."

The three girls paused, but this time it was Erica Anderson, who had been more restrained, said: "Simon, three years later, what if we fail to get the chance?"

"Even if you can't star in Diana Prince, you still need a lot of Amazon women fighters in "Wonder Woman", and after the next three years, I believe that if you are not too slack, you will have enough foothold in Hollywood , Even if you continue to return to the fashion world, there is no problem." Simon said, remembering one thing, and said to Erica Anderson: "Did you just recently get a role in the new line "Menggui Street 5" ?"

Erica Anderson nodded, not expecting Simon to know this.

"Push it away," Simon confirmed from Erica Anderson, and said: "The style of the "Ghost Street" series is really not high, and it is not the protagonist. It is not good for you to participate in such a movie."

Although it was only a small character of a heroine's girlfriend in "Meng Gui Street 5", the final death was a bit miserable, but it was also hard to fight for, and Erica Anderson couldn't help looking at her agent.

The girl’s agent was obviously very decisive and said: "Mr. Westeros, we will contact the new line after the meeting to push the role away."

The agent said that he still looked at Erica Anderson with some disappointment, and felt that the girl was a little scornful.

Just kidding.

Compared to the opportunity given by Simon Westeros, even if the protagonist of "Ghost Street 5" is not changed, does this still need to be considered?

Simon just nodded, continued to chat with the three girls about some details, and sent them away.

Sending these people away, Jennifer walked in with a cardboard box in it, which contained a stack of documents and seven or eight boxes of videotape: "Boss, this was sent by Mr. Doichmann, he recently picked it Some project scripts and samples from independent filmmakers."

Simon put a business card secretly left by Helena Christensen on the desk, looked at his female assistant who flashed away quickly, and took out a copy from the carton with a smile The script opened, and he knocked on his right hand, saying, "Come."

Jennifer stood opposite Simon, his face reddish and said, "No."

"Should I go by?"

"I'm going back to work."

Jennifer said, retreating a little, but suddenly stepped forward.Simon thought she was going to do something across the table, and as soon as she lifted her gaze from the script, the female assistant had already gone out.

Simon was puzzled, and his eyes swept left and right, only to find that the business card he had just laid down was missing.

Just laughing, Simon refocused on the script in front of him.

Moments later, Simon turned his attention to the script in front of him, the office door was knocked again, and Amy Pascal came in.

After getting along for a long time, Simon didn't talk too much with Amy, he just nodded at her and asked, "How's the conversation with Wes?"

Amy sat down opposite Simon and shook her head: "Paramount has awarded a $6 million base salary plus a 10% profit sharing contract for the project. I talked to Weiss and he hopes to get it in the scream of scream The same treatment."

In the first "Scream", Wes Craven received a top-level director's $5 million in remuneration, which alone accounted for half of the project budget. The actors in the film are only newcomers.

In the next two sequels, Simon is actually ready to double his budget.However, although Amy did not explain the specific details of the 10% profit share, Simon immediately refused.

Taking the first "Scream" as an example, the box office in North America counts as 100 million US dollars. Then, overseas channels, video tapes, TV broadcasts and other omnichannels are operating. Net profit of 100 million US dollars.Even if Wes Craven asked for this part of the net profit share, the 10% share would reach $10 million.

If Wes Craven is indispensable to "Scream", Simon is willing to pay even the $16 million of the base salary.After all, the profits made by Daenerys Entertainment are still very impressive.

However, for a youth horror film with fixed routines, Wes Craven is not essential.Simon simply won't pay a huge director's fee of $16 million equivalent to an extra horror movie budget.

Consider for a moment, Simon said: "Two sequels, $15 million, this is Daenerys Entertainment's offer. You talk to Weiss again, if he doesn't want it, it's all about."

The two sequels of "Scream" are on average $7.5 million each, which is equivalent to a 50% salary increase on the basis of the first song, which is already very good for horror film directors.

After all, horror movies seem to be able to grow in size, but there are actually more failed projects.Hollywood can have one or two horror movies sold at the box office in a year. It is already very good, but there are definitely more than one or two hundred low-cost horror movies that have been unknown and even directly flowed to the video tape market.

Amy's thoughts are actually the same as Simon's.

For "Scream", Wes Craven is definitely not indispensable.Just like the "Meng Gui Street" series he created for New Line Pictures a few years ago, Wes Craven only directed the first part of "Meng Gui Street", and then the two sides also did not talk about the sequel pay. Craven chose to leave, but the "Meng Gui Street" series has not been affected by this, and the box office of several consecutive sequels is one higher than the other.

Looking at the conditions given by Paramount, the base salary of 6 million US dollars plus 10% of the profit share of the film, if calculated according to "Scream", the compensation is indeed very high, but what about "Scream"?

Wes Craven's previous films had the best box office scores of more than 25 million US dollars in the first "Ghost Street", and several other films were within the 20 million US dollars box office. This is actually the limitation of horror movies. Sex.

Calculated at this level, there will not be much additional sharing clauses in that contract. If the project budget is too high, for example, to reach 20 million US dollars, the box office is 20 million US dollars, then basically there will be no profit at all.

By comparison, Simon's two "Scream" sequels of $15 million are definitely very sincere.

It's just, think about Wes Craven's choice in the previous "Ghost Street" series, I just don't know if he will be smart enough.If Wes Craven chooses to work with Paramount, once the next project is unsatisfactory, his value will immediately fall again, and Daenerys Entertainment will certainly not wait for him to return to continue to take over "Scream" "sequel.
