Chapter 223 New Year's Eve Reception

Daenerys Entertainment headquarters, today is December 31, the last day of 1988.

Simon greeted a special guest in the afternoon. The current chairman and publisher of Marvel Comics is also Stan Lee, the creator of Captain America, Spider-Man, and Four Heroes and other superhero characters.

Because of work, Stan Lee still lives in New York. This time he came to Los Angeles for vacation.

In the past few months after the merger of New World Entertainment, Simon has met with Stan Lee several times, but the two sides have not yet had the opportunity to discuss the future development plan of Marvel.

"Batman" is about to start shooting, and Stan Lee, who has always been very popular with Marvel superheroes, has taken the opportunity to visit Simon at the end of the year and deliberately discuss this matter.

"Stan, Daenerys Entertainment will definitely develop a Marvel superhero movie, but this is not the right time. We all know that compared to "Superman" and "Batman", such as Batman, Fantastic Four, etc. It’s very difficult to shoot Marvel superheroes."

"But we can start with some easier projects, don't we?" When it comes to business, the 66-year-old man is no longer as witty as usual, and he is serious: "Simon, "The Punisher" is good, he is no different. Yes, no special effects are needed, so why cancel this project?"

Jennifer brought in a pot of coffee at this time, and Simon did not stop talking, saying: "Stan, you must have seen the script, it is completely a Stallone's "first blood" style gun battle film, completely lost' The essence of the Punisher's story."

Stan Lee took the coffee from Jennifer, thanked him, and then said: "Simon, the script can be modified."

Simon took a sip from the coffee and said, "The original project will need to be overthrown from scratch, and, frankly, Stan, I'm not optimistic about the box office prospects of "The Punisher."

Stan Lee couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I really don't understand what you're thinking, Simon, you now own all of Marvel's superhero copyrights, but you're going to shoot DC's "Batman."

"I had already prepared Batman before I won Marvel."

"So, what about "Superman" and "Wonder Woman"?"

Simon looked at the old man who obviously started to have emotions and smiled: "Stan, don't you think that it is a very fulfilling thing to still hold the copyright of several DC heavyweight superheroes on the basis of Marvel? ?"

Stan Lee thought for a while and then laughed, but then said: "Okay, Simon, but how long do we have to wait here?"

"Five years," Simon said: "After five years, Daenerys Entertainment will start planning Marvel superhero film and television projects. Before that, I hope to accumulate certain skills and skills through several DC superheroes. experience."

Simon is now the boss of Marvel. Since his idea has been decided, Stan Lee has not been too entangled.The two turned to continue talking about some of Marvel Entertainment's trivial operations, and more than an hour passed unconsciously.

Near the end of get off work, Simon sent Stan Lee out of the office, and Jennifer, who was sitting outside, picked up a prepared invitation and gave it to Simon.

Simon handed the invitation letter to Stan Lee, saying: "Stan, this is the invitation letter to the New Year’s Eve Party of Daenerys, starting at seven o'clock, in Palisades, if you are interested, you can come."

Stan Lee accepted the invitation letter and readily said: "I will definitely be present on time."

Sending away Stan Lee, Simon glanced at the outer office, which was temporarily occupied by Jennifer.

Susan Landis was dismissed last Friday, and the two screenplays of "Rocket Expert" and "Firebird Strike" that Simon prepared a few days ago have now fallen into the hands of Paramount Pictures.

There is no possibility of misunderstanding about this matter. After picking out the two scripts, Simon just put them in the office, and did not contact the copyright owners of the two scripts, nor did he tell others about it.

Until last Friday, Simon asked Jennifer to tentatively make a few calls to go out, and the two items that had not been caught suddenly were taken down by Paramount, which is obviously not a coincidence.

Susan Landis has been Simon’s secretary since the establishment of Daenerys Entertainment, and has accumulated some friendship.Since the other party did not cause any damage to Daenerys Entertainment, Simon did not have the interest to take a small shrimp, but simply fired the other party.

However, reminded by this incident, Simon also began to pay more attention to confidential work.

Tonight is the New Year's Eve. When Stan Lee leaves, Simon will leave early to rush to the mansion in Palisades halfway up the mountain.

The New Year’s Eve Party hosted by Daenerys Entertainment started at 7pm. Simon arrived here at less than 5:30. He got off in the courtyard and asked a few party company employees who were busy around him. Simon was very On the second floor of the villa, I found two daughters, Janet and Catherine.

Seeing Simon appear, Janet, who was choosing a dress, sent away the stylist who whispered to help her staff, and came over and kissed Simon, saying, "You came just right, help me see what to wear tonight The dress is suitable."

Simon looked at Catherine who had changed to a silver dress that was very suitable for her personal temperament and said: "Just don't hit Catherine with her shirt."

Janet also glanced at Catherine, smiling and saying: "I don't choose this kind of dress that makes people brave enough to get close when they see it."

Catherine murmured dissatisfiedly: "How come I dare not get close?"

Janet pointed at Simon: "Look, he wouldn't dare to approach you."

Catherine glanced at Simon with a slight murmur in her heart.

Simon smiled and walked to the sofa next to him and said, "It's just that you are here, which affects my performance."

Janet picked up a dress from the hanger and gestured in front of her, casually glancing at Simon: "Should I leave first and give you a little time alone?"

"It doesn't need to be too long, just one hour."

"little bastard."

Catherine blushed: "If you do this again, I'm leaving."

After such a bit of quarrel, Janet quickly picked up the dress, after all, she still liked the wine red.After trying it on, she didn't take it off again, and once again shouted to the blond female stylist who secretly squinted at him just after seeing Simon, and went to the next door to make up.

Perhaps it was because of the unwillingness to follow in the bottom of her heart that Catherine stood in the distance and sheared the dresses on the hanger as if she could clearly see the eyes of the little man behind her.

Soon, a pair of big hands was wrapped around her waist, the closer the man's breath, the closer Catherine whispered: "Jenny is here."

Simon just hummed softly, rubbing the woman's smooth silk dress, and the probe kissed Catherine's neck, saying, "Take off your high heels, okay, I really dare not approach you when you wear high heels." "

Catherine's original height reached 180CM, wearing 5CM high-heeled shoes, suddenly surpassed Simon, although she was a little taller, but still only in the early eights.

"Small, bastard, no, just accommodate you."

Catherine whispered finely, but still obediently kicked off the high heels on her feet, her body softly supporting the hanger.

After six o'clock, the mansion began to be lively.

Janet has been standing in front of the villa to greet the guest rooms gathered here in Los Angeles until 6:30, seeing Simon appear beside her, the woman keeps smiling and Jessica, the heroine of the newly arrived "Steel Magnolia" ·The Lange couple greeted each other and waited until the other person walked into the villa before reaching out and pinching Simon's waist without any politeness: "Asshole, you really have toss for an hour."

Simon grasped Janet's small hand and squeezed, and came to talk nonsense: "No, just chat."

"Nonsence."

Janet gave Simon a hard look and saw that the Robert Rem and his wife were coming from a short distance before they let Simon go.

At seven o'clock, the reception officially began.

Compared to the previous party in this mansion, the scale of this reception was not the grandest, but it was definitely the most attended by the big coffee.Due to the series of miracles that Daenerys Entertainment has created in the field of film and television over the past year, many top stars in Hollywood who had originally been reserved have begun to actively associate with Daenerys Entertainment.

Moreover, compared with the past, at the party tonight, most of the guests are hard to remember his age in front of Simon, but generally have a little more awe.After all, the six billion-dollar box office films produced in a year have not failed, and the six films are destined to be among the top ten of the annual box office list. This kind of initiative has never happened in Hollywood.

Perhaps, apart from Simon Westero himself, it will be difficult for Hollywood to break this record in the future.

"Ms. Pfeiffer, the heroine of "Flying Over Childhood" needs the American sweetheart style. You are too beautiful, and the temperament is more cold, not suitable for this role."

On the lawn of the mansion's backyard, the sky was completely dark, and the brightly lit courtyard was full of people.

Simon stood by the buffet table and wanted to choose some food to comfort the hungry stomach. Tonight, Michelle Pfeiffer, wearing a water blue low-cut evening gown, came over and took the initiative to talk to him.

Speaking of, since Simon entered Hollywood, the name Michelle Pfeiffer has often been talked about. Michelle Pfeiffer, who has just turned 30 this year, is also at the peak of her face value.Prior to this, Daenerys Entertainment and Michelle Pfeiffer originally had several potential cooperation opportunities. In the "Pulp Fiction", Mia's role, Simon also let the other party try the play, but in the end they did not make a trip.

"In this case, Simon, do you think there are other roles suitable for me in Daenerys Entertainment's projects?"

Michelle Pfeiffer looked at Simon. With that said, a glass of red wine in his hand was delivered to his mouth to take a sip, clearly glancing over with a hint of hint.

Simon is just a little hungry. In some respects, he has just "satiated". At this time, the resistance to women is at its strongest state. Wen Yan just said: "If there is, I will definitely contact you."

Michelle Pfeiffer didn't see the eagerness from Simon's eyes, seeing that he was still holding the dinner plate, and he said: "So, Simon, how about dancing together? Are you so hungry?"

Simon tells the truth: "Yeah, but, Michelle, don't you have a male partner?"

Vaguely remember, this woman should be married.

Michelle Pfeiffer shook her head and said frankly: "I just divorced recently."

"Oh, this is really regrettable."

"It's nothing," Michelle Pfeiffer said: "Since the two people can't continue together, of course they are still separated."

After a few more chats, Michelle Pfeiffer walked away, seeing that Simon had not shown much intention.

Michelle Pfeiffer had just walked away, and Sandra Bullock walked over with Courteney Cox.

Simon had just picked the food and was about to walk away. Looking at the intimacy of the two women, the joke with Sandra the other day sounded.Doesn't Nizi really start acting?

However, after carefully examining Courtene's expression, Simon realized that the two women were not as close as they thought.

"Hello, what were you talking to that woman?"

Simon laughed: "Of course, the discussion between men and women is about men and women."

Sandra listened to Simon's machine strike, rolled his eyes, and snatched a prawn from his plate without hesitation. He bite and said: "I heard that you have just been robbed of two scripts recently. ?"

Not only did Simon not conceal the two scripts of "Rocket Expert" and "Firebird Strike", but he privately released the news. He hoped that through this incident, Hollywood would understand one thing, Daenerys Entertainment was fancy Even if the project is taken away, it may not be able to achieve the same success as Daenerys Entertainment, but it may be defeated.

In fact, this kind of Hollywood situation is very common.Just like the same superhero movies, the same wide-ranging popularity, some burst into eye-popping, some are unbearable.

Of course, these can't be said to Sandra and Courtney.

Simon took Sandra and Courtenay to a nearby seat to sit down, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's just two scripts. If they are snatched, they will snatch it."

Sandra saw Simon speak lightly, but she was a little suspicious in her eyes. She didn't believe that this guy would really be so easy. Based on her understanding of Simon, there must be something inside that she didn't know.

After Simon finished speaking, he took the initiative to change the subject and chatted with Courtney.

Compared to Sandra's boldness in front of Simon, Courtenay was obviously more restrained.

Everything that happened over the past year has made her lose or even regrets, but she is fortunate enough to continue to have some friendship with the young man in front of her.

Just after seeing Simon chatting with Michelle Pfeiffer, Courtena couldn't help but think about what happened when she and Simon talked about the actress.

At that time, both himself and the young man in front of him were just unknown pawns, and his state can even be said to be a bit dismal.However, when she dreamed of becoming a big star like Michelle Pfeiffer, he was very indifferent, and also expressed with interest that she could try dating Michelle Pfeiffer in the future, which was naturally mocked by her.

Just now, she found that Michelle Pfeiffer, who she could only look up to, had not shown any big star attitude in front of this young man, but instead had obvious pleasing.

Now, he has indeed reached the point where most Hollywood people can only please and look up.
