Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 459 Hold

After visiting Steve Rose, things ended on the East Coast. Simon rushed directly from Long Island to JFK International Airport and returned to Los Angeles.

Back to Dumei Cape Manor, the west coast side was just over two o'clock on Saturday afternoon.

Entering the villa, A girl Alison Norris greeted her and told Simon Janet to go shopping and no longer in the villa.However, Ms. Veronica Johnston just came over in the morning.

Simon came to the baby room on the first floor of the villa. Veronica was holding Melbourne standing in front of the glass window of the baby room near the sea. It seemed to be whispering something with the little guy.

Seeing Simon, Veronica was a little surprised and stopped holding her child. Then she greeted: "You, Jenny said you might come back on Monday."

"Things over there are over."

Simon responded, walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, looking at Veronica wearing a light green knitted dress at home today, but said nothing more.

As soon as she sat down, girl D came in, still holding a bottle in her hand.

Deborah was also surprised when she saw Simon sitting on the sofa in the room, but soon greeted with a smile, handed the bottle to Veronica, and asked, "Boss, do you want something to drink?"

Simon shook his head: "Go busy."

Girl D nodded, if nothing had happened, she patted her chest gently after walking out of the room.

Always feel.

The atmosphere between the owner and his wife's aunt is really weird.

After Girl D left, Veronica hesitated and took her child to sit on the single sofa beside Simon. She dropped some milk carefully and tried the temperature on the back of her hand. Taste it, and then it feeds the little guy's mouth.

"I came here in the morning, um, there are some things, just come to see Moore, and I will go back tomorrow."

A woman's voice sounded around her, explaining to herself generally.

Simon hummed slightly, and continued to stare at Veronica who was feeding the little one.

Until the little guy finished drinking most of the bottle of milk, Veronica put the bottle aside, gently wiped the corner of the mouth for the little boy, and then looked at the child in his arms, a little more surprised in the soft eyes.

After a while, Simon suddenly said: "In a few months, when the child can fly, you can take him to Australia."

Veronica raised her head, seeming a little unclear what Simon was talking about.

Simon paused and explained: "Jenny and I have a lot of things to do, just for you to help look after a while."

As the chief financial officer of Johnston Holdings, Veronica is idle.

However, after listening to Simon's explanation, Veronica nodded without hesitation: "Okay."

Speaking, he also concealed the general and added: "Everyone is looking forward to Little Moore going to Australia for a while."

Janet came back shopping after more than half an hour, and listened to Simon talking about this, and there was no objection. She was "sealed" by the little guy for a year, and she looked forward to some free time.

Although it always feels a little weird, but she has to take care of her children to her aunt, not to mention the fact that there is still a lot of people in Australia, she is not worried at all.If it weren’t too young, she wanted to let Veronica take away some annoying tomorrow.

This year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony is Saturday, January 18.

After the weekend, the 49th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards ceremony is approaching.

Compared with the information in memory, the changes of this year's Golden Globe nominated film became more and more obvious.

In sporadic memories, this year's Golden Globe, the best film in the drama category, should be a biographical crime thriller "Bagsey" directed by Barry Levinson similar to "Scarface".

However, this time, Simon simply did not see "Bagsey" in the North American theater last year.

After entangled with Daenerys Entertainment, after the last film "Avalon" lost at the box office, although Daenerys Entertainment did not show any obvious targeting to the filmmakers at the time,

Not only that, but CAA, which should have reached its peak of influence in recent years, and Simon has deliberately supported the balance of WMA and ICM, has not completely lost the strength of the original time and space in recent years.

Simon didn't care much about "Bagsey", but when he read the Golden Globe Award nominated film list in the new week, he accidentally discovered that another very important film also disappeared in the nomination list.

Disney's 2D animated movie, "Beauty and the Beast".

In the original space and time, the 2D animated film "Beauty and the Beast" released at the end of 1991, not only accumulated more than 200 million US dollars at the North American theater, but also successfully won the Golden Globe Award for the best film in the musical comedy category, and became the first. Animated movie nominated for Oscar for best film.

Now, this movie has disappeared.

Simon now wants to understand some things in Hollywood. It is naturally easy to give a few words. The results obtained, combined with the information in the memory, finally found that the matter is still related to Pixar.

The project "Beauty and the Beast" was indeed fanned out by Simon's big butterfly.

Things still have to start with the production process of 2D animated movies.

Traditional 2D animation movies are completely hand-drawn one by one by animators.

For a 2D animation movie, based on a 90-minute duration, the movie has a total of 5400 seconds and 24 frames per second, which requires 129,000 paintings. This is theoretical data.In actual operation, the workload is much larger because of scrapped manuscripts.

However, a skilled animator can only draw 10 to 20 drawings per day.

Any animator often has his own style of painting. In order to ensure the unity of the style of the animated film, it is not appropriate for animators to participate in a project.

Therefore, in the past, Disney's animated films usually have a production cycle of 4 to 7 years.

In the original time and space, Pixar launched a professional graphics computer, which completely changed the production process of traditional animation movies, greatly improved the drawing and rendering speed of 2D animation movies, so that in the early 1990s, Disney could launch almost one every year. 2D animated movie.

It was precisely because of this graphics computer that it later led to the collaboration between Pixar and Disney in Toy Story, and many other things that followed.

However, this time, Simon bought Pixar in advance.

Pixar's graphics computer certainly exists, but it is no longer sold.

As a result, Disney's animation film department still maintains an old and slow hand-drawn production process until now.

Because of the success of the relaunch of classic 2D animation movies in recent years, Disney executives have re-emphasized the animation movie department. However, this emphasis has not been able to increase the speed of animation movie production.

In the case of limited production capacity, various projects must be selected.

In the data collected by Simon, the "Beauty and the Beast" script was indeed proposed, but after a little bit of rejection, Disney retained another more well-known "Aladdin".

According to information from Disney, "Aladdin" will be released this summer, which is half a year ahead of the original time and space.

However, "Beauty and the Beast" was completely abandoned.

Simon knows more than just this classic "Beauty and the Beast". Many years later, the live-action version of "Beauty and the Beast" has sold more than $1.2 billion globally, squeezing into the top of the historical box office rankings.

Under the control of Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Kasenberg, Disney has already gone out of the decline of the early 1980s. Even if Simon took away "Wind Moon Pretty Woman", Disney has also produced " Good morning movies such as "Good Morning Vietnam", "Three Dads and a Baby", "Supreme Detective", the re-screening of classic 2D animations and the release of video tapes have brought Disney a very rich income.

However, compared with the original Disney in this time and space, the present Disney is still much worse.

To be sure.

If the regulation of the media industry has been liberalized in recent years, Disney will certainly not have the strength to bid for Metropolitan ABC Group with Daenerys Entertainment this time.

All of this is obviously because of Simon, all because of Daenerys entertainment turned out.

The overall size of the Hollywood film and television industry has been increasing rapidly. However, for a period of time, the market capacity was finally limited. Simon also had the advantage of the prophet that other studio heads could not match. Daenerys Entertainment has divided too much. Other producers The factory will naturally fall into this situation of change.

Now in Hollywood, except for Daenerys Entertainment, only Warner Bros. Pictures is more powerful than the original time and space.

Next, maybe you can count the MGM that slowly recovered from the bottom.

"Jurassic Park" will be officially filmed on January 21 in Kauai, Hawaii.

This week before the Golden Globes, Simon put a lot of energy into the final preparation of "Jurassic Park", and flew to Hawaii for two days for this purpose.

The flight from Los Angeles to Hawaii is similar to the flight from Los Angeles to New York. It only takes four hours.

Returning from Hawaii on Saturday morning, the evening is the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

Daenerys Entertainment has no appeal for awards this year, but Simon can easily take Janet to the evening awards ceremony.

In this nominated film, Daenerys Entertainment's "Piano Love" and "The End of the Wild" simultaneously squeezed into the nomination for the best film in the drama category. Catherine also relied on "The End of the Wild" to get the golden ball Nomination for Best Director.

Not only that, this year’s five best director nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, three of them are women, namely Barbara Streisand of “The Time and the Storm”, Jane Campion of “Piano Love” and “The End” Catherine Bigelow of Mad Flower, this phenomenon is the first time in the history of the Golden Globes.

In order to pave the way for the Oscars in March, after the announcement of this year's award nominations, Time Warner began to build momentum, hoping to push Barbara Streisand into the ranks of the first female director in Hollywood history.

Although, in the three films "Don't Surprise", "Piano Love" and "The End of the Wild", the "Media" was actually the lowest in media ratings, however, Barbara Streisand has accumulated dozens in Hollywood The connections in time are not comparable to Campion and Catherine.

Of course, the most important reason is that Daenerys Entertainment voluntarily withdrew from this year's award competition.

Because of this kind of withdrawal, this year’s awards season should have shined in “The Silent Lamb”. This time, the Golden Globe Award was only nominated for the best screenwriter and the best actress in the plot category. The next Oscar, San Della did not even intend to brush the nomination.

As a result, Oliver Stone's "Assassination of Kennedy" won the Golden Globe in the competition for the best film in the drama category. The best director was also won by Oliver Stone.

This is certainly not Time Warner's public relations disadvantage, in fact it is still a strategy.

After all, the reputation of "The Amazing Years" is not as good as "Piano Love" and "The Last Road". If Barbara Streisand wins, it will definitely cause controversy.

In comparison, if the three female directors are selected at the same time, the Golden Globe Award will still stubbornly maintain the "discrimination against women" and award the award to the male director, and then until the Oscar award ceremony within a few months, The trend of public opinion will definitely turn to sympathy for the three female directors and to fight against discrimination against Hollywood women.

Under such an environment of public opinion, the Oscar, which has always advertised political correctness, has almost no second choice.

At this time, Daenerys Entertainment's two films took the initiative to withdraw from the award public relations. Barbara Streisand has enough resources and network support in Hollywood, and the result is self-evident.

As for the "Story of Time" after winning the award?

A king defeated.

After Gwyneth Paltrow won the Oscar in the original space and time, even if it was criticized by the multimedia for being too water and no gold content, after all, it will still be after the shadow. In most media press releases, the Oscar shadow Gwen Nisi Paltrow' came to address each other.

Those who have not won the gold medal, even if the acting is ten times higher than Gwyneth Paltrow, it is impossible to be titled after the film in the media.

This is the defeat of the king.

As expected, after the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, a lot of media appeared to attack the Golden Globe judges against women. The public opinion has been on the rise for a while, and the Golden Globe official has to stand up and clarify.

Immediately after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the Oscar nomination list was announced.

In the 64th Oscar nomination list, Barbara Streisand, Jane Campion and Catherine Bigelow continue to be listed at the same time.

It’s very clear in the circle. Among the three, Barbara Streisand’s public relations trace is the most obvious, Jane Campion is the most well-known, Catherine Bigelow, "The Last Road" is indeed very good But, most people will inevitably think of Simon Westeros.

Comparing people to people, it really can't be compared.

The public opinion storm caused by the end of the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony has not dissipated, and another heavyweight entertainment news broke out.

MGM has publicly announced that it will temporarily suspend subsequent development of the 007 series due to irreconcilable disputes.

The importance of 007 to MGM is self-evident, so this news immediately attracted a lot of media attention.
