Hollywood Hunter

Like "Steel Magnolia" and "Driving for Miss Daisy" produced by Daenerys Entertainment in the last two years, "afewgoodman" is also adapted from Broadway's popular stage drama, which describes a fledgling naval lawyer Under heavy pressure to investigate a military murder case.

The original "Few Good People" was also translated as "Yi Hai Xiong Feng", starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore. It was also a blockbuster movie with a box office of more than 100 million.However, just watching the cafes of the three protagonists knows that the production cost of the film will not be too low, which is why Simon is willing to take the project out and cooperate with MGM.

Shirley Lansing took the coffee brought over by the female assistant, thanked Simon, and said to Simon: "A very good story, similar to the theme of "Suspected Innocence" by Harrison Ford this summer. Can be recognized by Oscar."

Harrison Ford’s summer presumed “Innocent” is also a court crime film.

The film had a mediocre opening score, but since it was released on June 8, in three months, the film has unknowingly accumulated more than 70 million US dollars at the box office, and the local total box office is expected to reach 80 million US dollars, far exceeding the industry media’s original expected.

Simon even thinks that "Few Good People" is probably a movie that follows the trend of "Presumed Innocence".

"In this case, start preparations as soon as possible. In addition, I have given Demi Moore the heroine. She is very suitable for this role. It happens that she still has a contract with Daenerys. The actor Daniel Caffey , You can touch Tom Hanks."

Shirley Lansing hesitated: "Simon, I think Hanks is more suitable for comedy, and he is not young enough."

"You can take the time to look at the sample of "Pink Pink League", Hanks's play is much wider than you think. Moreover, Hanks is 34 years old this year, which is already very young in Hollywood, and it is impossible to modify the script. The original script of "Rainman" was two middle-aged people. The producer wanted Huffman and Nicholson to perform together. Later, he changed into a pair of brothers with very different ages for Cruz. "There are few good people". In the same way, the actor may not be a fledgling man. He may be a middle-aged man who has been ostracized or made some mistakes. In short, he must give the audience a sense of counterattack."

Shirley Lansing nodded, but said: "Actually, Simon, I showed the script to Cruise. Tom is very interested in Caffey's role, and his price is not high, $6 million, This is $3 million less than the film reward he got in Thunder Aspirations, which is very sincere."

To ensure the success of "Few Good People", it is undoubtedly the most safe to use the original team.

Simon did not consider this matter from the beginning.

Over the years, Hollywood studios have lost too much initiative in front of stars.

Simon is now about to take back all the power that should belong to the studio. He will not allow Daenerys Entertainment to become passive in front of any star, nor will he be like Paramount in the original time and space. The income of "Mission Impossible" was divided into a violent fight with his actor, and after the trouble, he had to start cooperation with the other party again.

Although Cruz’s $6 million offer was clearly showing to Daenerys Entertainment, Simon wanted to resolve some of the previous entanglements, but Simon did not mean to relax, insisting: "Sherry, I know you and Gram Ruth's relationship is good, but there is no room for discussion on this matter, and Daenerys Entertainment will not cooperate with Cruz."

Shirley Lansing knew that he was not qualified to bargain with the young man in front of him, and could only express regret to Cruz, saying: "Then, I will contact Hanks as soon as possible."

After talking about this, Simon turned to the topic: "The next script, you can wait until "Few Good People" is finished. In addition, what about 007, how did you talk to Brosnan, and the ghost party's copyright?"

Shirley Lansing shook his head: "Brucenan refused.

The copyright of 007 has been jointly held by the United States company under MGM and the Brockley family in the UK. Moreover, the shooting rights of the previous 007 series have always been in the hands of the Brockley family.

Pierce Brosnan is 37 years old this year, older than Hanks.After so many years in the circle, it is easy to catch fire with "Wind Moon Pretty Girl", and it is indeed not easy to lock myself in the character image of 007.

Simon is not reluctant, but said: "Even if Brosnan is unwilling to star, the actor still has to be replaced. Several of Dalton's 007s are not successful, and the most recent "Killing License" should be the most performant at the 007 series at the box office. It’s a bad one, and it will only be a waste of time to continue.”

At that meeting in Brisbane, qintex shareholders and creditors had proposed that Simon join MGM's board of directors or act as an adviser to the company, but Simon refused.

In this way, Simon has no right to intervene in MGM operations.

However, after experiencing that meeting in person for the day, Shirley Lansing knew that the young man in front of him would be a breeze even if he wanted to replace his MGM ceo, so even if there was a little resistance in his heart, he would not dare to ignore Simon's suggestion, said: "I will discuss this matter with the Brockley family when I go back."

After the meeting with Shirley Lansing, Simon sent away the other party and returned to the administrative district to continue their work in the afternoon.

Until more than six o'clock in the evening, Simon was looking at another recently acquired copyright material of the "Moment of Kill" novel, the phone on the desk rang, the female assistant prompted mca chairman Lu Wasalman to call in person, Simon Some accidents, but still picked up the microphone.

After a few words, Simon hung up the phone and summoned the female assistant to come in and said, "Vassalman invited me to a cocktail party tonight. Let's go together. After that, let's fly to San Francisco to spend the night together. How about it? "

Jennifer nodded: "Okay, but I won't go with you to San Francisco after the reception, and I have to work tomorrow."

Simon's trip to San Francisco was a good thing, probably staying there for two days.

Listening to Jennifer say this, Simon pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Don't go to the reception, go home and rest."

The female assistant's eyes sparkled, insisting: "Must go."

Simon grimaced and said, "You see that being so tight will make me rebellious, and it seems that it should be Jenny's duty."

The female assistant nodded decisively and smiled: "Yeah, it's really Jenny's job."

Ok.

This is also Jenny.

Seeing that the female assistant had finished speaking, she stepped on Xiaogao and walked out. Simon just smiled and started to read the information in front of her again. She couldn't help thinking of the purpose of Lulu Vassalman's invitation.

According to some news in the circle, Panasonic's acquisition team has started formal contact with mca management these days.On Simon’s side, Daenerys Entertainment, Cersei Capital and Rabold Law Firm have also formed a 60-person acquisition team.

Things have developed to the present, and it is not likely to be kept secret.

Come to think of it, Lu Vasalman should have received the message, intending to join Rasimone in advance in order to raise the bid price of mca.

In the memory of Panasonic’s acquisition of mca, it was very unsuccessful. In order to prevent mca’s share price from skyrocketing to an unacceptable level, Simon did not intend to make an early move, but planned to wait until Panasonic negotiated with mca into a stalemate, and then consider the appropriate time to propose an acquisition Offer.

Even if Panasonic’s acquisition negotiations with mca are no longer as bumpy as they were in time and space, but smooth sailing, Daenerys Entertainment can also cut off before mca’s shareholder vote on the acquisition.

However, tonight I still have to find an excuse to perfume Vassarman.

Simon quickly remembered another thing he was thinking about recently, and it was a plan he had to embark on after he flew to San Francisco tomorrow.A multi-billion-dollar acquisition may also serve as a temporary shield.

In short, mca cannot be used as a bargaining chip to increase its share price and intensify competition.

Making up his mind, Simon's attention turned back to the "Killing Moment" material in front of him.

"Moment of Killing" is a crime thriller novel last year involving racial discrimination and judicial justice, similar to the very famous "Killing a Mockingbird".

The original "Moment of Kill" movie was only released in 1996, starring Samuel Jackson, Matthew McConaughey and Sandra Bullock, and also achieved very good box office results and Oscar recognition.

More than that, the other two works of "The Killing Moment" novel author John Grimson, "The Goose Assassination Order" and "Sugar Coat Trap", are both popular films in the 1990s.It's just that the original novels of the last two movies haven't been published yet. While Daenerys Entertainment bought "Killing Moment" this time, it signed the priority of John Grimson's other two novels.

However, Simon did not intend to invest in these projects in the short term.

Only next year, the selling items related to Daenerys Entertainment, including its own production and foreign cooperation, already have "Toy Story", "Silent Lamb", "Scream 3", "Few Good People", " Batman: The Dark Knight, "Terminator" and "Destiny" are the seven blockbusters expected to break through the box office.

Although the annual box office in the United States broke through 5 billion US dollars earlier than the original time and space, this ticket warehouse is ultimately limited, but these films may appear to form internal competition in Simon’s eyes, not to mention that there will be "Lightning" in the year. "Knight", "007 Golden Eye", "Captain Hawke" and other key studio projects.

In order to avoid too fierce competition, Simon has recently decided to shift the "Ninja Turtles 2" to 1992. Some heavy projects that were originally planned to be launched in advance have been temporarily shelved, and they are already considering lengthening the first phase of the dc movie universe. Make a rhythm.

The 90s in the original space and time was a period of great films, Simon did not want this market to be prematurely occupied by various action blockbusters and superhero movies.Only blooming flowers can keep prosperity more lasting. Too much focus on blockbuster commercial movies is actually very detrimental to Hollywood's long-term development.
